The sky turns red and the air seems to ripple with a foreboding heat. With a bone-chilling crack, a great tear appears in the fabric of reality, releasing swirling energies and anguished howls. Through the tear, I emerge.
But this is not the Chickenspleen you once knew. Time and hardship have shaped me into a cold, remorseless killer. Scars adorn my body like ceremonial markings, remnants if many near-death experiences. My hair is tangled and unruly like that of a madman. I wear combat fatigues that have been torn and repaired multiple times, and keep weapons all over my body, be they blade or gun. Everything, my clothes, my skin, is stained in blood. Teal blood.
"Two years," I snarl, "Two years I lost in that hell of a future. It must be stopped. It must be prevented!"
With a bloodcurdling scream I rush at you, brandishing a sword crusted over with the blood of god knows how many. In merciless slashes and stabs I tear your flesh apart, new teal stains coating my body. As you fall to the ground in shock and pain, I drive the blade through your chest, pinning you to the floor.
All eyes are on me as, panting and cringing at the pain of old wounds, I pick something up off your body. It is covered in a thick layer of blood, but to all those gathered around, the small object is easily recognizable.
"My cookie."
