Enemy Empire Page #4

So please dear, do something or be quiet.

You're adorable, you try so hard.

You need to follow your heart

and stop chasing your past.

Pay attention.

[Cleo] He's doing that,

he's following his heart...

He's following his ego.

What is killing Catherine

really going to accomplish?

Killing her?

[Oracle] Stay on this path, and you'll

repeat your misery forever.

She's not the end, she isn't.

Listen, she's not the end.

See, I'm not so bad.

Normally I'd charge for this.

[Sol] She's just a con artist.

What did you do to him?

[Oracle] Isn't Cleo beautiful?

I thought you'd might like to see her.

It's interesting how

you look to each other.

I can't cure Sun Disease, Sol,

but I can pause it.

Do you like her?

[Sol] You look like the same person.

You're the same woman.

[Oracle] No, I'm just choosing

to appear as Cleo to both of you right now.

I'm The Oracle, I get

to mess around like that.

Besides, you don't look

so good in my outfit.

You have two choices.

One is you can kill me for the

prisoner and save yourself from the Scouts,

but if Cleo stays with

you and you kill Catherine,

she will eventually die.

Wanna hear about the second path?

Leave it all behind, leave

the hunt for Catherine.

Leave killing altogether and walk away.

That goes for you too, sweetheart.

Abandon your fruitless treasure hunt.

Leave your family in the past where

they belong and go West with him.

Certain things cannot be undone,

so be sure you're right before you act.

Killing you will make

half our enemies go away.

But what about this enemy?

My death will only make him stronger.

(snap)

This is a mistake.

You don't believe

anything she said, do you?

[Cleo] Yup.

Cleo, she also said that she couldn't die.

Yeah, she dies all the time.

She thinks it helps her reputation.

Nothing is going to happen

to you, you're with me.

I can kill anything that

comes between us and Catherine.

Well you can't protect me from you,

and you're what's gonna cause this.

Woah woah woah!

No, I'm fine, I'm fine.

Okay, help.

(grunting)

Why are you so hell bent on going

after something that won't

make your lift any better?

You're the most stubborn... (grunting)

Woah, hey!

Here, give me your hand.

How could The Oracle

pick us for each other?

Listen, Senorita, I didn't

ask you to be with me!

Why do you want a family anyway?

I don't.

I gave up on that a long time ago.

And besides, I wouldn't pick you.

Wait, what?

Hey, why not?!

Wait, we've been through here before!

No we haven't.

It's like a labyrinth,

you're just confused.

Sh*t!

So who would you pick?

Him?

Well he doesn't lie or kill people.

I don't lie.

You told me Catherine was your lover

you were rescuing, you just wanna kill her.

I can see how you might have been misled

by that point, but I

never said that exactly.

Technically, I didn't lie.

Yeah, well technically, if I stay

with you and you kill her, I'll die.

Woah, oh... hey!

(distant screeching)

Even if she's right, and she's not,

she said you'll die eventually.

Everybody dies eventually.

Hey, let me explain something

about Oracle terminology.

"Eventually" means like Tuesday.

Yeah, I don't believe that.

I have to get away from you.

- (arm whirring)

- We had a deal!

You are not done until I find Catherine.

Now let's go and get

these Scouts off our back.

I don't wanna run into them again.

[Cleo] Yeah, neither do I.

Oh, you guys, I love you guys!

Where are your friends?

Funny thing about that is my bros came by

and left me here, (laughs) they're a riot.

They really want Sol.

But this, this, when they see this,

when they come back,

they will, they love me,

this puts you out of their

minds and I will be a rich man.

That's disgusting.

You wanna lose that arm too?

Hey now, lover's quarrel?

Would you mind holding off on that

for just a minute and snap this chain?

I can catch up to my friends right

now and tell them that you're dead.

For you guys, anything, or you know what?

I promise.

Come in, guys, come in, big news!

[Scout] What do you want, a**hole?

We're not rescuing you.

He's like my brother.

Hey buddy, Sol and that

chick we robbed are dead.

They came by, The Oracle was chasing them,

she killed them, but man, I was... (mumble)

and I got her, I killed The

Oracle, it was ridiculous!

Mission accomplished,

bro, we're going home!

[Scout] I'll send you one Scout Team,

but if you're lying again,

we'll leave you there for good.

What a joker.

So how about snapping my chain?

The Witch Warrior's coming soon.

That doesn't sound good.

It's better if I just

go and meet my friends.

Who sent your people to rob me?

What, hey, hey!

You guys are jerks!

This is a jerk move, man!

I tried to play the

diplomat like a good guy!

I don't ask for anything in return!

One head, no big deal!

And what do you do for me?!

You play the screw you card, nice!

This is nice!

You know how long I'm gonna

be stuck out here for?!

Yeah, I don't either, that sucks!

If The Oracle made them rob you,

then she can't be trusted!

You're not going to

die, we're not, we're not

on one of her paths, we're

not stuck in her grip!

Yes we are!

Stay away from me.

You can't leave me!

Cleo?

Cleo!

(dramatic music)

[Voices] Sol, Sol, Soool...

This could be a problem.

(grunting)

(siren)

(clicking, screeching)

It's not her, get the safe box anyway.

Easy, son, it isn't

wise to travel at night.

Too many Invisibles.

Stay down now!

(creaking)

You son of a b*tch!

(grunting)

That was the safe box,

nobody was gonna find ya!

I save your life and you break my stuff.

Now I gotta build a new one!

You stop right there (siren)

or get a little dose of my ear killer.

Sit down and eat.

What were you doing out at night?

I'm on my way to see The King.

Good luck, I hear nobody

sees him face to face.

I'm looking for my daughter.

My wife is out scouring right now.

[Sol] You let your wife wander alone?

I can't stop her.

See, we used to all travel

together as a family.

Who keeps a family these days?

My daughter started going off alone.

Instead of making her stay with

us, I gave her weapons to protect herself.

One day she just didn't come back.

What kind of weapons did you give her?

Just these.

You can find them all over the

place, lots of people have them.

Years ago, I met an Oracle, and she

told me I would have a daughter

and that my little girl

would change the world.

If she dies, I messed up a prophecy.

How would the world change because of her?

The Empire would fall,

I think, I don't know.

It would stop this endless cycle

of violence we're all living in.

How am I supposed to live with

myself if I made it so that can't happen?

It's not your fault.

I met your daughter.

I thought she was someone dangerous,

those arrows really have

been used all over the place.

When did you see her?!

Where is she?!

She's dead.

I killed her.

(suspenseful music)

[Cleo] Oraculum sacrum veni
