Shepard who was used to megalomaniac speeches from the reapers and other criminals wasn´t startled at all "Let´say we all stop fighting and we let you go, but before we think of doing that, what is that so important task you are talking about?" she asked Jack still aiming her vindicator just in case.
"Klling in order for the better good, what an ironic ideal if you ask me, Im a bounty hunter and have killed countless space pirates and criminals, but atleast I have the total evidence of them deserving a trial or, if they attacked first, a duel. But what you are telling me is that this criminal you killed was naïve, there was no other reason for it? in my point of view, that sounds more like a personal reason than strategic one. Yet I´ll ask you, who this person was?" Samus asked as she calmed down her charge beam
Have you ever crossed the line between sanity and madness? You would be amazed by what lies beyond the fog..
"I attacked out of self-defense, as I had mentioned earlier. Not to mention that this is no one ordinary. She... Was known as the 'Overpower Queen.' That 'queen'... Was the natural born child of Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 and Yukari Yakumo. And as far as telling you the mission, I need proof I can trust you. Otherwise I run the risk of the possibility of you obscuring the mission further than it already has been."
Banished Library - Gensokyo "I couldn't care less about why you came to Gensokyo." Remilia cocked her head. "All I care about is that you get out of my mansion."
"Ok, let me get this straight, you killed the natural creation of both John and Yukari? I have to wonder how in the heck would a marked as perfect soldier chief would have raised that badly his own daughter? he has the moral to even rescue a kitten in a tree. Now the blonde gal may be mischevious, but she is one of the people who ovversee this land´s safety." Samus pointed out what was true from her allies
"Unless she was mind controlled, which I think would be higly improbable due to the genes she would have from both those two, that woman should have had an actual reason to come here. Even more, she would have come to warn us in the present of a great danger that would surely come" the bounty hunter spoke knowing thinking of the luminoths messenger or the aurora units.

"Do you think I understand it any better!?" Jack exclaimed, now frustrated. "I've done one entire year dedicated to my knowledges of how to apprehend someone like that! But one thing I never understood was why?! Why would she go to the past and risk changing everything to a worse state when we could have fixed it?! I was made to do that, my father died for that cause. He may have been in the future, but I could feel it. I could feel it going through my head! My own father committed suicide! Why?! I was going to fix things! That's why he made me! Why?!"
After a while, Jack picked up the machete and sheathed it.
"... But it's not like you would understand. Not like anyone of you would understand. None of you can imagine what it's like. Just imagine that you were created to save the world one day. You dedicated your life to it. Your mentor taught you everything you needed to know. But then imagine someone getting in the way of that! Someone who isn't even an antagonist, not a rival. Then imagine that your mentor gave up on everything he worked so hard on. All of that which he taught you... He decided to just.."
He NT'd to the entrance of Voile.
"... It's like being discarded in your own game. You were shaped to be the protagonist just so that you could witness as all trust fades. And soon... You're wiped off your own game. A plot that was not meant to be. Do as you like. I'm going to complete my mission... While I still exist."
"I do know that feeling you know? losing everything and having next to nothing" Samus interrupted him
"I lost my parents and friends in my colony were the space pirates attcked when I was 3 years old, sure the chozo took me by their care, but I still lost those who I loved, but I also learned something during my years as a bounty hunter. Everyone deserves a second chance."

Scarlet Devil Mansion Meta Knight went through the halls carefully and quietly, avoiding the gaze of the many fairies. He always wondered what was in this mansion. Apparently fairies. Though he had not met their master yet, and hoped he wouldn't. Eventually, they thinned out, and Meta Knight heard that distinct noise, the 'poyo'. Even Meta night never understoof what that noise meant, though it was quite the identifying tag.
He rounded the corner to fianlly see the being in question. Kirby. He was seemingly giving lollipops to two strange people. Maybe they helped him. Nevertheless, Meta Knight was extremely cautious. He coudl almsot feel the huge amounts of energy that these two people had. Dangerous. To both him and Kirby. He watched from around the corner, the only visible part being the top half of his mask. Fiendish City "It would be best to avoid as many of the Devillites here as possible. Think disgruntled office workers, but able to hurl things with the strength of a truck and quite the durability too." HP explained.
Sometimes when you're driving down a road, a bug hits your windshield. It's ugly and unpleasant, but you just activate the wipers / cleaning fluid and it's gone in a few seconds. It's just part of driving down the road. You don't dwell on it, because that'd be silly. Bugs aren't worth the time.
"... No you don't. You lost your family, but you had others take care of you. You fought off enemies. You became a hero. Look at me. Trying to do the only thing I have left to do and yet I'm being kicked around the park. I'm seen as some kind of villain. Tell me when your people look at you as the villain. Then you might be able to understand. And as for your second chance... That's something offered to you. And I haven't found one person who would do that. Bot for someone looked down on as a villain."
He opened the doors and began walking. On the floor, he left a book. 'MGSVNB8: Ground Zeroes.' It was already open to a certain page.
The scenery was fire. Nothing but burning construction. The point of view was inside a helicopter passing by. What was burning was Mother Base, the mercenary group led by legendary hero Big Boss or Naked Snake and his second in command, Kazuhira Miller, both of whom were staring in shock at what had become of their creation.
Kaz:... No... No, this isn't fair! Those bastards!!!
Snake: Kaz...
Kaz: This isn't fair!!! We built that!!! That was OURS!!! HOW THE HELL COULD THEY TAKE THAT AWAY FROM US!?!
One thing that is notable for the Youkais after the Horizon incident is that they have developed ways to improve their lifestyles by adapting to the outside world. Wriggle in fact was the leading innovator of the modernification of Gensokyo. Her house, unlike the traditional Hakurei Shrine or Scarlet Devil Mansion, was modern to the perfection. The house was overall rectangular and white, with the front wall of the house completely glass. In front of the house sat a well-established front porch with a pool.

As Eve checked her systems, Jack quietly waited and decided to take this opportunity to check his armor's systems as well. After redistributing power across all his systems, Jack then opened up the thruster bays on his back, slowly opening and closing them, then quickly opening and closing them. After ensuring that his thrusters were running smoothly, Jack then depressurized and repressurized his suit's hydrostatic gel layer, then tested the liquid metal crystal layer of the suit by quickly opening and closing his hand, testing not only his grip strength, but his reaction time as well. Much to Jack's satisfaction, his suit was in perfect condition again.

To be honest, Raven had answered all of her questions. There was not much more to ask. Just then, Lily had an idea. Considering that Raven spoke about Eve, perhaps he would also talk about Elsword and Chung and let her familiarize herself with them.
"What about the others?", Lily asked Raven in a curious tone before taking a bite of her pancakes.

"We had.. a few.", the SPARTAN doctor said to Birkin.
Based on how the SPARTAN spoke, "a few" was an understatement. In truth, many people had died, mainly the non-augmented personnel. Even if they didn't have augmentations, they still defended The Labs with every fiber of their beings, until their dying breath, just like a true SPARTAN would. To be honest, thinking about the attack struck a nerve in the SPARTAN doctor, but he only showed it a little. He wasn't angry at Birkin, only at Wesker and the Neo-Yakuza. After all, Birkin was just as much a victim as Halsey would have been if Wesker had succeeded. After remaining silent for a moment, the SPARTAN doctor spoke again.
"Most of our casualties were non-SPARTAN personnel. The SPARTANs that died couldn't be cremated, at least not completely. Bones... We only cremated some of them. The rest were decontaminated with strong chemicals. They were already dead, so we didn't need to worry about how strong the chemicals were. After that, we severed their brainstems from the rest of their bodies, preventing them from coming back. As for the smoke from the cremation, nothing would have survived the conditions we put them through. We used a plasma furnace and set it to 50,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
The SPARTANs that were injured didn't seem to have anything wrong with them, but we kept an eye on them and would routinely give them system-purging medicines, all-purpose anti-viral medications. Some of the infected and injured SPARTANs reported having permanent side-affects from being exposed to the virus, but it seems to at least be non-invasive and benign, such as boosted healing factor, small resistances to damage, and slightly boosted strength and reaction time; a favorable outcome for them, much better than being 'turned'.
The good news is that we killed off all his forces during the assault, and Albert Wesker was killed by 'Noble Six', Chris, Claire, Raven, and a man named Gerard. After Wesker was killed, we sent a small group of SPARTANs to Base 7, gathered all the intel we could, and purged the area with an antimatter bomb. The SPARTAN assault team found you while they were in Base 7 and brought you here.", the SPARTAN doctor explained as he leaned up against a nearby wall.
"As for the number of casualties on our side, I would need to check. We have security footage of the entire incident. Do you want me to get you the numbers?", the SPARTAN calmly asked.
