"I'm not giving up," Sky said, all pretence gone as he now appeared worryingly pale. "If I was going to give up I would've done so after Aniko, or Azanti, but..." he winced, feeling nausea seizing hold of him.<br/><br/>"I think I understand," Clint said as he appeared in the doorway. "Carreyra's abilities...if you're going to have the power to stop him you can't control the poison, if you go into this fight either he kills you or the poison does."<br/><br/>"I cannot ask you to do this," Sky said, trying to stand.<br/><br/>"If Carreyra's power is even half as strong as he was in Sicily forty years ago you cannot fight him alone old friend," Yuri said insistently. "Besides, I refuse to let a man I consider the brother I never had to die alone. If we're going to save the Corps from that...creature, you're not leaving me behind."
