And about Sebastien - This is hardly like a good enough ultimate sacrifice. At least have him go out with dignity, and in style!

Like this - this a piece I wrote regarding how Sebastien should REALLY goes:

Sebastien's Death

'Prince Viktor, along with Verrat squad leader Danilov and his two agents came out of the woods. They found the disabled jeep and the dead body of the verrat member. Viktor's car was nowhere to be found, along with Sebastien, who was in his car.'

'"They took the other car," said Viktor, a little fraustrated. "They've got Sebastien."'

'As the other two verrat agents went over to check the body. Danilov opened the jeep's door, and found Sebastien lying inside, apparently unconscious. "No sir, he's  here," he replies.'

'"He's here?" Viktor says, surprised.'

'Suddenly, Sebastien sprung to life. In a split second, he lifted his gun from Meisner and shot Danilov, killing him instantly. Viktor took cover by the jeep. The other two agents ran forward to engage the enemy, but were both ambushed by Sebastien - one was killed as he was rushing to the door, and the other was shot through the driver's window. Viktor took cover by the jeep, expecting to hear suppressing fire gunshots, but was relieved to instead hear the sound of the clicks of an empty gun. He stood up and walked towards the door.'

'Sebastien fraustratingly pulled the trigger as Viktor shown up, probably grasping for a last hope, but his gun was all empty. He drops his weapon as Viktor came to him face-to-face, his gun pointed directly at him.'

'"Where did they go?" Viktor asks. His voice filled with anger and malice, and there was no trace of him sparing Sebastien's life if he tells him.'

"I don't know," replied Sebastien,"and even if I do, I won't tell you, salope!"

'Sebastien's voice, oddly enough, was with distinguishable sarcasm. Viktor was confused, but not surprised. "I believe you," he says, as he gets ready to execute Sebastien. But then he suddenly hears a very low swooshing sound, nearly indistinguishable - like the sound of mosquitos. He turns around, alarmed, but there was no footsteps, nor was there anyone in sight. He looks up to the sky, but there's apparently nothing. He turns and points his gun back at Sebastien - even with all his bruising, the contemptuous smile he now has on his face is very distinguishable.'

'"I have one more trick up my sleeve," Sebastien continues, his voice suddenly hardened up. "You are finished, Viktor. We both are." '

'Sebastien's gun arm drops further, and a weird object fell off his coat sleeve. Viktor notices - it was a dark, semi-transparent object with a pyramid-like shape and its tip was glowing a very dim green light. Viktor didn't know its origin, but was very clear what type of object this is - a beacon. He moves away from the jeep as he lifts his gun back into the air, turning around frantically. Then in terror he saw it - a dark fast-moving object in the air with a black tail - both in colors that blend perfectly into the night sky - rapidly moving in his direction, or Sebastien's object direction, and he instantly recognized what it is: a missile. He didn't know how a missile, along with its flare, could fit so well into the night, nor how  Sebastien got his hands on a missile strike beacon. All he knew was that he has about fifteen seconds to get as far as possible before it hits.'

'"You can't run from it," Sebastien says, his voice now very firm. Viktor turns back to him, horrified. "It has a very large minimum blast radius. Everything within half a mile will be obliterated, with a two-mile heavy blast damage." His voice raised, with no more pitiness or obedience. "We are stronger than you think. Victoire à la résistance!" He closes his eyes.'

'Victor raised his head and he at the exact moment he saw the missile - which is clearly visible now -  makes its plunge towards the jeep. He screams as he jumps aside (as if that would make any difference).'

'Far away from the jeep where Sebastien made his last stand, the daughter of a barnyard master hears a muffled boom sound, got out of her bed, and looked through a window. A black cloud - nearly indistinguishable in the night time - rises far out in the trees. She excitedly calls up her parents, and her father sleepily got out of bed and walked towards the window. He took a look, and saw nothing - the black cloud had vanished. '

'"Ach, it's too early," he said. "Go back to sleep, sweetheart." She obeyed and re-tucked in, and fell fast asleep.'

The rest of that night was very silent.

Last time, I wrote the piece called Nick's Second Proposal, and this time, this. Some of the contents may sound stupid, but from my perspective, it was better to give Sebastien a  Dämonfeuer- style honorable death, taking out a big threat, and revealing an additional, hidden, very powerful player in this not-so-shadowy-soon war. It's like saying, "Verrat got Royals, we have someone too!"

Thoughts?
