You!” Kay said as he charged towards him.
Just before seconds of impact, Pkill jumped between them. Kay stopped just before he bumped into the ninjatic application of destruction. Kay knew as well as the others that this was one application not to be messed with. Pkill said nothing, but from his dangerous stare Kay knew he had to step back before he sends him on an unpleasant trip to nothingness. Unfortunately for them, Chmod had found himself a powerful ally.
Kay, Killall, Locate, RootMeUp, and SSH were all afraid to touch Chmod with Pkill in their way. Chmod smiled as he took a few steps around as if he owned the directory.

“What?” Kay was shocked to hear those words.
“You heard me. As an administrative application, I took away your authentication privileges and gave them to one more suitable for the job. That was done, of course, by my powers and the help of one of my party members, Passwd (44), to get the permission. Oh, I should've done this hours ago when I first saw you.”
