"Hey, I was standing there! That's not very nice!"
Rei leaped into the air as the ground was snatched from beneath her and then hurled in her general direction. Changing direction, she moved to intercept the massive chunk of rock and catch it in her artificial gravity field, maneuvering it into orbit around her before grabbing spinning it above her head to gain momentum and hurling it back at Majimmier. At its current velocity, it would impact just after the energy blasts from the
Riyal collided with the megazord, as well.
"Right back at ya!"

"But really, as cold and cruel as you were in the real world, you never seemed much the one to murder people, especially those you seem to like. You were none too good at first impressions this time around."
Nihilem shrugged, the smile fading from his lips as he eyed the goddess grimly,
"We do what we must, because we can.... I'm not above doing whatever's necessary to overcome an obstacle, any obstacle. Before I made it big here in the NPF, I did whatever it took to survive. I lied, cheated, stole, assaulted, and ended lives as it was necessary."
Rising to his feet, POS left the throne behind him as he began slowly walking toward Mesden, glowing red eyes continually remaining locked with her,
"Then I joined up with you guys, and I lied, cheated, stole, assaulted, and ended lives as it was necessary to help you save the day, as it not only saved my own hide but obviously benefited me. I found and gained access to means of increasing my own power and influence, and thus was left with no other alternative than to lie, cheat, steal, assault, and end lives in order to further my empire."
He finally came to halt before her, breathing in deeply as the glow faded from his eyes, returning the irises to their original hazel as he stood there, arms crossed, his gaze aligned with hers.
"And yes, if I wanted to go further, I had to work past the inferiority of my own humanity," he sighed, finally breaking the silence,
"But I knew what I would inevitably have to deal with if I was going to try taking over the half of the NPF that money couldn't buy. Obviously, the majority of you would do everything possible to stop me. I could've waged war on the NPF Superfriends but it would have been a war that I would have eventually lost. So I had to find a way to overcome you. But then the whole rest of your extended family would make it their business to knock me back down, so I had to take them out first...."
Nihilem stretched out his arms, gesturing to the ruined Pantheon around them,
"And so that's where this mess came from. I mean, honestly, I don't actually plan to stay here. This place is atrocious! Could you honestly imagine me living in a dump like this? What do you take me for? Skeletor, or something? Ha!"
