text: We materialize in an empty destroyed world. It's earth, but there is not a living soul on it. Cars, houses, cities are still here, but no living people. Just corpses.
  
  "What happened here?"
  
  "You rescued your mother. That's what happened."
  
  "How does that..."
  
  "In doing so, you removed yourself from this time-line. Everything else still happens. Project-Eden, the reanimator incident, cloning. It all happens without you. Including Virus."
  
  "Virus?"
  
  "The death of Andrew Carlyle had nothing to do with you, so it happens exactly like it did in your time-line. Frederick Carlyle's cloning of his son also had nothing to do with you, so that happens as well. The failure that occurred in the cloning also had nothing to do with you, so Andrew's first clone becomes Grove, despite your inexistance, and Frederick Carlyle reclones his son, as you had nothing to do with that either. Virus is still created."
  
  "But without me, that generator is never..."
  
  "Virus doesn't need the generator. Without it, the process is slow, but, like a virus, he drains everything of energy until there is nothing left, and then he wriggles up and dies due to nothing being left. He kills the Imperfects, at least the ones that didn't die in the fight with Hybrid. Both Brute and Freakshow died in that fight due to your absence. Everyone on the entire planet has had his brainwaves drained. All because you weren't here to stop him. All because you had to save your mother. What a selfish thing to do, right?"
  
  "But..."
  
  "But what? But it was the right thing to do? Sometimes the wrong thing to do is the right thing to do, and sometimes, the right thing to do is the wrong thing to do. Things aren't as simple as you'd like them to be. Now all you have to do, is go back in time and make sure your mother meets her gruesome fate."
  
  "No. You can't ask me to..."
  
  "You are a time traveller Baryon! You changed the fate of the world for the worse, and now it is your responsibility to change it back."
  
  "But...no...I can't..."
  
  "You must. You created this situation. This is on you. Perform a single act of evil, and save humanity from extinction."
  
  > try to find another way.
  "No. I'll find another way. Maybe someone else can become Baryon..."
  
  "You're telling me you would spare our mother and have another woman go through her gruesome death? Another child has his future taken away from him, as he is turned into a dark-matter monster like us? Who's being the bad guy now Baryon? Does anyone else deserve this? You can't just move the problem somewhere else. You have to face it!"
  
  "Not by doing the wrong thing!"
  
  "You're telling me that your idea of right is to let humanity die just because you can't accept that your mother has to die!"
  
  "No one has to die!"
  
  "Then what do you intend to do?"
  
  "I...I'll stop Virus myself."
  
  "I am trying to teach you here! You are so insistant upon avoiding the problem that you can't learn. No wonder nobody could teach me properly, if this is what they had to deal with. You are not from the time-line you are creating here. This time-line has no Baryon."
  
  "That doesn't mean I can't interfere."
  
  "Then you'll never learn! You'll never learn that evil is necessary to achieve good!"
  
  "That's because you're wrong. You have nothing to teach!"
  
  "Was I ever so ignorant? Was I like this? Refusing to see the truth? Refusing to accept the cold, harsh truth? Whether our mother of this time-line lives or dies is irrelevant. Whether Virus kills the people of this time-line is also irrelevant. All that matters is that you acknowledge that it was good that created this problem, and only evil can solve it."
  
  "No. Good can solve it. Good will solve it. The right thing is always the right thing and the wrong thing is always the wrong thing. There is no other truth. There is no simpler or more complicated way of putting it."
  
  "You won't accept my teachings, will you? I didn't want it to come to this, but you leave me no choice. I can't have someone interfere with my work. I will prevent the war no matter the cost. I will teach Novarra not to oppress mutants no matter the cost. I will educate the world no matter the cost. Even if it means killing you."
  
  > Battle Future Baryon.
  We clash directly at one another and soar into the sky above, He punches me, and I try to phase through it, but he can turn to the same level of existance that I can, and so he hits me regardless. I'm not used to getting hit with such power. The hit nearly shatters my head, but we're in the night, so it regenerates almost instantly. I channel myself at him, ramming him, and pushing him away from a certain area, freeing it up for me, so I channel myself there. However, the night is infinite, so it's not like either one of us has done anything to push the battle into our favor yet.
  
  > hurl a mountain at him.
  I rip up a mountain and throw it at him. He simply phases through it and ignores it. He doesn't try to use it as me, as he realizes that I could phase through it just as easily as he can.
  
  > try to lure him into the sun.
  I channel myself towards day-time, and he follows me, just like I had anticipated. We are approximately above the Atlantic ocean, where I come to a halt. I am just a few feet from the sun-light, and the plan is to lure him into it, permanently defeating him. However, he seems to realize this, and instead, he channels himself directly at me and rams me into the light, causing me to evaporate.
