Dishonored To Dominance: Marcus Rise

THE STAND

Kane’s finger hovered over the detonator, a cold, cruel smile playing on his lips. Marcus’s heart pounded in his chest as the realization sank in: there were only minutes left before the entire base would explode, and Kane was about to ensure no one walked out alive.

Marcus: "Kane, don’t! You’re not just killing us — you’re killing everyone! Think about it. You don’t need to do this!"

Kane’s eyes gleamed with malice as he chuckled.

Kane: "You still don’t get it, do you, Marcus? Sacrifices have to be made. For real change to happen, the old world has to burn. I’m not afraid to light the match."

Marcus: "This isn’t change! This is genocide!"

Kane: "You call it genocide. I call it progress. And in just a few minutes, you’ll be nothing but a memory."

Marcus’s mind raced. He was running out of time and options. He glanced at Thomas, who was groaning as he tried to pull himself to his feet.

Thomas: "Marcus…"

Marcus moved slowly, trying to position himself between Kane and the detonator.
