Hero Down. MD

*Scene: The Silent Shaft (Concise) The scanner's hum echoed. Y/N found M0N, injured, against a support beam. Uzi scoffed,* "So the hero fell..." *N, visibly worried, asked,* "M0N, what happened?" *V watched silently.* *Thad, emotional, said,* "He protected us." *Y/N knelt beside M0N.* "M0N!" *M0N rasped,* "Y/N... trust..." M0N's voice slurred, eyes flickering. "Gouls... their... weakness..." A gurgle, then silence. "...core..." His eye screen dimmed, hand still. "...gone..." *Uzi sneered,* "Trust themselves?" *N said,* "We'll help." *V stated,* "He's finished." *Thad snapped,* "Don't say that!" *Y/N felt the weight of M0N's words.*
