He was surprised to find himself in this Zone again so soon, especially with the chaos that was the Arena now that word of its definite closing had gotten around. There was a reason for him for it though, one that involved his new Leader, the Malgian Megatron, Magnus. He wanted to know more about his (former) subordinate's death, Lugnut.

The door did not open when he made to slide it open. He could have used more strength, ripped it off its track...instead, Nemesis slid a finger down where it met the wall, bringing the Darkness to play. Small black circles seemed to follow the digit, embedding themselves within the door and eating away at its metal...

And then Nemesis paused. He was...not alone.

His head turned slowly, more of the Darkness awakening at the idea that someone was watching him.
