"So look, I've been thinking about this whole subjugator thing..." John said this nervously as he backed away.
For the moment, Gamzee didn't answer except by keeping pace with John.
"Humans didn't exist when the subjugator race or whatever was around, right? So there's no reason that you have to kill us to prove your superiority!" John tried a hopeful smile. "Please?"
Gamzee laughed. It wasn't a pleasant sound. "We created you motherfuckers. You want to tell me we aren't any fucking better than you? I think not, brother."
John muttered glumly, "I was hoping it would get you to stop trying to kill me..."
"All right, that's enough of this stupidity." Karkat placed himself between the two, sickle in hand. "John. Get your pansy ass out of here."
John's eyes lit up. "I knew you cared!"
"Don't flatter yourself. This is troll business, you have nothing to do with it." Karkat matched his gaze with Gamzee's and glared.
John shrugged and withdrew a hammer from his sylladex. "Thanks, but... If there has to be a fight, I'm not going to just run away and let you fight it for me."
"You'll just get in the way," Karkat grumbled.
John's smile turned a bit smug. "Which one of us is god tier, again?"
Karkat cursed. "...Fine, you can help. Since you're suicidal enough to want to."
"Yep, sounds like me."
