Like Gods

The Batter equips the Phoenix tunic. It's warm, comforting, and very powerful. The Batter begins towards this Zone's element.

"I don't know which you are," Pablo explains, "but I don't care. Just stay away from the switch."

"Of course," the Batter replies, "I would never dream of it."

The Batter faces many secretaries, but Japhet's last gift protects him. His power continues to grow with each he kills.

He eventually finds the element and leaves to Zone 3. An odd smell fills the air when he arrives. He knows he could go get Epsilon, but warning Enoch is more important. Even though, if Enoch falls, the imposter will have a full set of Add Ons to face the Queen, that's a chance the Batter has to take.

The Batter proceeds through Zone 3, holding the mask he was given by Zachrie with a certain curiosity. What would happen if he put it on?

He decides to put it on if the imposter is to powerful for him and Enoch. He proceeds until he reaches Enoch's office, just ahead of the imposter.

"Enoch!" He exclaims.

"Who sent you?" Enoch asks, "was it the queen? Whoever it was, I refuse!"

"I am sent by no one," The Batter replies, "only my mission, to fix this world. Someone is coming to destroy this Zone Enoch. We must retreat to elsewhere. Mayhaps, The Room? You'll be safe there while I handle the threat."

"So," Enoch replies, "The merchant wasn't pulling our legs. Guess Japhet and I should've listened. Ah well, tell me, Batter, why have you abandoned your old mission?"

"What?"

"Zachrie told us everything. That other you, he's doing what you did last time, is he not? How do I know I can trust you?"

"How do I know you're worth sparing?"

"A fair point! Allow me to explain why this Zone isn't as bad as you think. This Zone isn't meant to get Elesens hooked to sugar, it's to get them off. Everyday, we put a little less sugar in the deserts. Someday, they won't need sugar anymore. That is our goal here in Zone 3. Our true goal, but if they found out, they'd flip. That is why I have hidden this from everyone. Even the other guardians. I may be a lardass, but I'm not an asshole."

"Then let us retreat to The Room."

"Abandon my Zone? Never! The employees would go strait for the sugar! Years of therapy wasted! I won't give up on my goal!"

"That won't matter if they're dead."

"That is true. However, I can handle the imposter. Come now, let us purge the world of that wretched beast."

Enoch gets up. The Batter can't help but smile at his waddle of a walk.

"You can't beat him," the Batter explains, "he's to strong."

"Nonsense!" Enoch replies, "we can defeat him together! After all, if you are the man you once were, we are like gods. And you, are the king."

"I abandoned that role with my physical form,"

"And you have abandoned your old mission. Go home, my king, and let me handle this."

The Batter ponders Enoch's words. The King... He hasn't been called that in a long time. He is the Batter now, and he shall not fail his mission.

"No," The Batter replies, "I am still The Batter, and I shall protect this world. Let's go Enoch."

The two head towards the imposter, ready to face him...
