The moment Nate heard the click, he moved, trying to get Cassie out of the line of fire. He could take it. His armor could take it. But he wasn't fast enough. The beam of energy lanced through her head and she fell, hitting the floor with a wet crack as 'Kang' began to laugh, long and hard at the sight of the dead girl.
Nate was frozen for a moment. Even if it was nightmare, it felt real. He could smell the gore, feet the blood pooling at his feet as he stared at her inert body, twisted in death. There was a moment when he felt something inside him harden, and he clenched his fists, the blue energy beginning to overflow, bright light lancing through the gaps in his fingers as he overcharged his blasters.
Finally, his head shot up, features set in a mask of rage and pain. The dream Kang looked up, leveling the rifle at him, but Nate wasn't going to have any of that. "YOU BASTARD!" Practically screamed, pushing his boots thrusters to the full in a second, he shot toward the man, firing his ion cannons, both of them on full. The speed of the attack took the vision off guard and it fell to the onslaught, charred but hardly damaged. Nate was on top of him in an instant. Strength augmented by his suit he knelt, holding down the man's arms and throwing augmented punch after augmented punch.
He could feel the bones shattering under his armored fists but he didn't care. Blood and gore splattered his armor, but he didn't care. He knew that Kang was dead by now. But he didn't care, he kept pounding his fists into the bloody pulp that had been the vision's face. Was he screaming at the body? He barely heard it, his words not registering, all he knew was the rhythm of his punches, the blood splattering his face as pounded the body again and again, gritting his teeth tightly against any tears.
"Die. Die. Die. Die. Die. DIE. GOD DAMNIT. LEAVE ME ALONE."
