It had been a few days since Tathamet had acquired all he needed, but to be sure he needed to fine a opening, a weak link to help exploit in destroying his foes. The problem was that Iblis would feel his power, so for now he suppresses it and he hunted down the power he felt during his hunt. He lands on a building as he scans around for the power signature.

Kida was walking down the street, searching for an abandoned building where she could stay the night, and still have a good vantage point should anyone try to approach her. She entered a building that looked sturdy enough not to collapse on top of her during the night, not noticing the being on top of it.

Tathamet materializes inside "So your the one I sense? Not to complain, but... your nothing what I expected" he says.

Kida whirled and aimed her spear at him, her stance aggressive, "Who are you?... and how do you know of me?" she asked warily as she prepared herself for a fight. He didn't seem like the type she wanted to befriend.

He smirks "I know everyone. Besides I know you want to protect something precious, yet are surrounded by people who could stop you or slow down your wish" he syas.

Kida hesitantly lowered her spear and studied him closely, "What of it?" she asked her guard still high. She was no fool and not to be taken lightly.

He smirks "Your home, Atlantis isn't it? Quite a nice city. Though work with the wrong people and it could end up a memory" he says. He looks at Kida "I can assure it will not become such" he says.

Kida eyed him in disbelief, but if he could truly protect her people... "And just how do you plan to do that?" she asked. "Not only that, how can I know you'll keep your word?"

He smirks "Because I am a demon. Not just any demon, THE demon of evil. All will listen as soon as I obtain my proper rule. Though I do not lead the Enforcers yet, they know whom to truly fear. Just know nothing is cheap. All I ask is find a weakness in your Fighter acquaintances and inform me of it" he says.

"And once you rule, you think you will be able to rule me and my people as well?" she asked with a dark expression. "I refuse to trade one despot for another," she responded.

"I will rule all evil only. My allies though are spared my build up wrath of centuries. If you help me, as a demon I must grant you a wish to repay a debt" he says.

Kida raised a brow, "And I'm supposed to merely take your word on that?" she asked skeptically.

"It is law I have created, being the father of Evil. I will spare Atlantis as per my word" he says.

Kida shook her head, "The laws you create, you can break just as easily. There's no possible way I can be assured you won't turn on me the second you've won this war. Besides, at least with them, I know they have good intentions, no matter how misguided they may be."

"Yet they may not be able to save it. With me... I can at least keep them away, keep it safe." he says.

"You'd turn on Iblis? You plan on overthrowing your master? Because you'd have to to save my people. He plans on wiping them out completely," she asked in interest. She knew he'd been talking of ruling the Enforcers, but did that genuinely mean Iblis as well?

Tathamet laughs "Iblis is but a mere demon. His kind would not exist if I had not created them eons ago. I am Tathamet, the Prime Evil, the beginning of evil, demons, and Hell, and all things evil and vile. I am right now suppressing my full power. Once he is weakened by this worthless battle, I will take advantage and rule the Enforcers. It is a small step to regaining my throne" he says.

Kida's eyes widened, she could have her vengeance and have her people protected... if he kept his word. She really had no idea whether or not he would. "If you're so powerful, why do you need their weaknesses?" she asked warily. "And you've still given me nothing concrete other than your word that you won't destroy my people. I can't barter their lives for nothing more than a potentially empty promise."

He looks at them "Because a few of them could prove... a major problem, like that man who wears the underwear on the outside" he says referring to Superman's attire. He looks at her "Plus it would make it easier to keep control of the Enforcers since I know there weaknesses already from mere thought" he says.

Kida chuckled at Tathamet's description and nodded, "Yes he could be a problem," she agreed as she turned and started to pace, "Is there anything you can give me as assurance that you'll protect Atlantis?"

"Just a word. I will protect the world of my allies as per my word" he says.

Kida weighed her options carefully. If she agreed and he went back on his word, she'd eventually have to go up against a possibly greater power than even Iblis, and this time she'd have to fight alone since he'd have an upper hand on those she currently called her allies. However, if he did keep his word and he took out Iblis... Those heroes didn't give damn about her people and no one but her would look out for Atlantis' culture and history. Even if she won against Iblis with the heroes at her side, she would be left on her own to defend her people from colonizers and those who would exploit her people and their riches. The heroes would never help her defend her people against their own. She knew well from experience. If she made this deal... "Do you swear to protect my people for as long as you are in power?"

He nods "Since I am eternal, that will be the promise. THe only thing is though, my symbol must be made somewhere in Atlantis so that I may be able to enter and protect" he says.

Kida blinked in surprise, before looking him in eye, "Why would you need to enter my city to protect it from outsiders?" she demanded, wary of placing his mark anywhere near her city.

"A failsafe. In case some... slip past me and to ensure I can enter the city to destroy them before they even have a chance to get close to Atlantis." he says.

Kida shook her head, their crystal would protect them well enough, should any "slip" past him. Besides, her people were trained warriors, "If any slip past you, we'll deal with them on our own. There's no need for you to have your symbol inside our city."

Kida frowned and looked down in shame, "It was my mistake for allowing those people anywhere near Atlantis. It won't happen again," she added fiercely.

"Oh sure... but whose to say someone won't make the same mistake? Everyone does, that's why it is called history. It's doom to repeat and you know deep down in your heart it will happen again" he says.

Kida clenched her fist and looked away. He was right though, if any of the younger generation invited someone else inside... that would be all those like Rourke would need to infiltrate her city. Kida looked back up at him, knowing that trusting her city to someone like him was a bad idea, but not sure what else to do. She had to protect her people somehow. "... Do I have your word you won't use this symbol of yours against my people?" she asked tiredly. She didn't know what else to do.
