Looking at the mask then to Mathew Rai would yell.
"DAMMIT MASTER! Why don't you fucking trust me?! All this time ever since day one you have asked me to trust you and I have put my trust in you. So now I need you to fucking trust me! I need that mask, with it I can improve my strength, isn't that what you want me to do? Get stronger? Well there you fucking go with that I can do it, with that mask I can become more powerful and it will open up more doors for me to gain even more power!"
Rai through apprentice would be breathing hard.
"I know you also seek greater power but right now I'm asking you, please trust me and let me have that mask, I want, no I NEED more power, and at this point in time you can't make me any stronger. To become more powerful from here on out, I need to seek out my own source for strength and power. Starting with that mask."

"Oh hello..."
Now THAT was interesting. He knew about the masks, but he didn't know that Barker had one. Well, not it looked like he had one. Though he wasn't exactly keen on becoming a host to the damn thing. And Rai, well the puppet had an outburst. Pleading for him to give him the mask to increase his own power.
"You're right. You doneed to seek your own power. And judging by your little puppet here you have found some since we have last checked your progress."
He turned to Hades.
"Can you put that into an actual mask?"
Turning back to Rai's thrall.
"If you want you can try and take it from me, but I am not in the habit of handing out objects of unknown power and properties to people without knowing full well what I am handing over."

Hades would inspect the mask a bit closer.
"It's probable. I'll commission a shell from Hapheastus."

"Wonderful. Thank you Hades."
Your move Rai. Your move.

Apprentice would collapse grabbing at her head a look of intense pain crossing her face. Then from the same hole that Apprentice came down would come Rai. Still in his bed wrapped in Bandages.
"Fine."
Rai said glaring at Mathew.
"I'll take it now then."
Rai would attempt to stand up and would hit the ground his legs nowhere near able to hold his weight. Then he would pick himself up with his good arm attempting to stand again. But apprentice would just come over and pick him up and put him back into his bed.
"NO!"
Rai struggled attempting to get back up.
"Dammit Mathew! I'm trying to save your life!"
Rai would collapse again in his bed breathing hard and sweating, still wearing his mask. The strain becoming difficult for him to keep wearing it. But at this point Rai wasn't really focused on the mask.
"Why do you have to be so damned stubborn..."
Rai would begin coughing harshly holding his midsection his ribs still broken or cracked increasing his pain. Rai would let out a small cry but quickly stifled it with a grimace still glaring at Mathew.

Mathew clicked his tongue. Rai was severely underestimating him if he thought that Mathew needed Rai to save his life. It was a nice thought, but ultimately worthless. All Rai would do was get himself killed, which would negate any and all value that he had.
"I don't need you to save my life. Mine is not the life that you should be concerned about."
He said in an even tone as he watched the scene on the bed unfold. Rai couldn't even get up to try and get the mask, and he thought to save Mathew's life. Once again the boy just wasn't thinking.

Hades would look to Rai.
"Your soul is disturbed by something... Something to do with the mask."
Hades would take a minute.
"Who's John Strike?"

Still looking at Mathew.
"The man that really killed Barker. The man that wants the mask. The man that will teach me how to be stronger."

"Oh well in that case you are not getting the mask at all. If you are going to choose to aid the enemy in exchange for your own personal power then I suppose we should finish this now."
Mathew took a step toward the bed that Rai was laying in, the ground trembling with the step.

Rai would make a motion disposing of the mask breathing hard.
"Listen."
Rai said calming down now that the mask wasn't adding more mental strain.
"I know what it sounds like, which is why I want you to trust me. Yes, it is a bad idea to give Strike the mask, but he can't harness the masks power himself, it would drive him crazy, just like I can't put that mask on. He would give it to another lacky which would make them strong, but if Strike can teach me about my masks I will become stronger. I also plan to do my own training so I can block Strike from my mind. I will use Strike until it either becomes too dangerous, or until he kills me, either way it will prevent the deaths of more people, you should stop being so damn selfish, you want that power fine, but why in the hell would you risks the lives of innocents. Giving him that mask improves my strength but will also give us time as a whole to become strong enough to fight him together just like we did Barker. Let me have the mask, let me give it to Strike. Let me prevent more needless destruction while we are all tired from the last war. Why can't you see that this is the wisest course of action?"

"I'm selfish? You want to give the enemy a weapon so that you can get stronger. You talk about risking innocents because you assume that giving him what he wants will make him not attack? Are you a fucking Dragon or a worm?"
Mathew's voice was filled with distaste. He couldn't believe what he was hearing from Rai. He was still far to soft.
"If he comes we will fight him. We do not back down from the enemy. We do not give them weapons on a whim. And if we must make a sacrifice to hold them at bay we do so with a clear head, with forethought. Not on some knee jerk reaction because you are scared.
Like it or not we are at war. That means people die, soldiers and civilians. Sacrifices will be made because they must be, but he who lets his emotions cloud his judgement is destined to fall."
He turned back to Hades.
"Have the smith deliver me the mask once it is ready for me. I will speak to Athena and the Norse about the new threat we have unmasked today."
And with that Mathew leaves. Rai or his thrall could just try and stop him if they wanted.

Rai sighed. He had hoped for things to go smoother. As Mathew walked away Rai would just watch his Master go.
"Good luck Master. I did all that I could for you..."
Then Rai and Apprentice would return to their home.

With everyone having left except for Hades and the mask, in would pop the masked clairvoyant. Hades would note his appearance over his shoulder before fully turning around. Hades regular look of stoic nonchalance was actually turned to a slightly serious grimace.
"John Strike?"
"Yep."
Some more silence.
"I've come to gather up my property."
Hades would slowly shake his head.
"Whats claimed in battle, cannot be reclaimed... Or do you intend the same?"
"If that's the only way you want to go about it."
More silence. Until Hades would attack first lunging out and catching Strike right in the gut, moving his hand as if it phased through Strike he'd be pulling on the light of his soul trying to rip it from the body. It stretched, and an immense pressure, like a wind would be sucking it back in as Strike turned back around.
"So that's how you took the mask from the head."
Strike would reach out with his right hand, Hades face full of shock, his mouth slightly a gape as the two extended fingers of strike just ever so slightly tapped Hades on the forehead. Hades grip on Strike's soul would release, his eyes would soften, his mouth would close. The ruler of the underworld would fall.
Strike would reach down and take the mask from Hades, before vanishing once more.

Apprentice would come back through the hole in the roof and return to Hades.
"Commander Sudeki wishes to send his apolo-
Then she would see Hades lying on the ground.
"Lord Hades!"
She rushed over to check on him.
