Palace

The bioroid for some reason was calm the whole time, she was supposed to react to the odd male who was asking so many questions, but alas, she was calm ("I guess I have seen such things that oddities are a normal thing for me") she thought and sighed "If we have the resources to repair this terminal, then lets get on with it, I´m sick of having to walk on a gigantic fog" she said lookeing at the terminal, her mind already seeing what to do. She then looked at the Doctor, her mind already in business mode "You, I can connect with many electronics, if you are a good worker in electronics, then I can let you do your part while I deal with the internal framework" she spoke as her palm opened showing a small cylinder that started shifting to many types of posts "Just let me find where to connect and we can do something about this mess"

Have you ever crossed the line between sanity and madness? You would be amazed by what lies beyond the fog..

Lobby - Central Tower | CY-001 | Nevaraas


After acknowledging Ethan, Mokou headed to where she presumed elevators would be. However, after considering how many people are actually on board, she discouraged the idea. She hated crowded elevators. Ironically the reason for her hatred was because of how hot and sweaty it gets inside.

Mokou turned her attention to the large gaping hole going through the ceiling, all the way to the top of the tower. This would mean that every other floor on the tower was accessible from the said gape...

Without notice, Mokou's back sprouted wings of pure flame as she took off nonchalantly, taking everyone inside the tower by surprise with her antics as she climbed up the tower, counting how many floors she ascended until zhe reached 30th floor and landed there.

Phenom watched silent and unflinching at the scene before him. One of the Hunters had taken to screaming overhead, above the incoming onslaught. Surely the tactic must have scattered them, but would it not have been more efficient if they had simply wiped them out instead of the Angels doing all of the work? It didn't particularly matter to Phenom; he never even expected the Hunter to intervene in this issue in the first place. He jumped down from the rooftop and went inside.

"They're going to be here soon. Are we all prepared?"

Palace

As the Doctor paced back and forth trying to remember what this place was exactly, and why it felt so familiar to him. He stopped and turned to face Achlys when she finally provided an answer... that did help him remember a bit about his current whereabouts.
Upon hearing it his face lit up as though he heard some rather excellent news. Outstretching his arms and getting a rather big smile on his face he looked at everyone in the room.

"That's it! That is it I tell you! That's why this place is so familiar! I'm IN THE PALACE on the planet Sedes Imperii of the Venturian Galaxy! Year 1099 of the Former New Republic, but dear lord how much time has passed since my previous location. This place was quite a hotspot for the people of this planet if I am correct. So much important stuff had gone here on this planet. So much history to this place... I've only read about this place in some books here and there... only been here about once or twice... Tell me... what exactly happened to this beautiful place...?" The Doctor asked not the others... but actually he was asking himself aloud as he sat on one of the not entirely working desks in the room while rubbing his temples.

"This place has so much history... it's quite hard to recall... even with my memory..." Spoke the Doctor as he then turned to Mara who was asking him to show her where to hook up her device so she can get a map of the palace. Upon which the Doctor quickly stood up and walked over to the terminal he was working at previously.

Kneeling down he fiddled with a bit of the wires until a bit of a spark was let out, causing the Doctor to jump a little. After he saw the spark, he got up from the floor, took out his Sonic Screwdriver, and pointed it at the terminal's control panel. With a quick buzz and whine from his 'magic wand' the Terminal lit up.

"Okay, There ya go. Just plug your little... thing into that slot there. I have managed to restore just enough power to at least interface and get a general map of the area. Couldn't really managed to do much else unfortunately, but it should be enough to help you out at least." The Doctor finished as he looked at Mara, all the while occasionally giving quick, curious glances at John...

The Expense: Hallman's Office

Once Lycoris left, Hallman turned to Emil with a rather serious and stern look on his face.

"Yes. Apparently Astraea is trying to contact me about our little escaped project... You remember... That girl that managed to kill most of our personnel? Anyways I need you in here because Astraea doesn't take my punishments lightly, and I told her not to call me unless she has some bad news or failed her mission." Hallman spoke as he pushed a button on his communicator device, and afterwards a holographic video and voice feed of Astraea on the planet Nevaaras popped up in the center of the office.

From the looks of it Astraea appears to be covered in a lot of... sand. Her hair, skin, and clothes was just messy with sand, her eyes were red and filled with tears for she obviously had gotten some sand in her eyes.

As the video feed opened up, Astraea immediately began crying.

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAH!! I failed boss! That mean girl got away!!!" Astraea replied, and almost immediately an angered Hallman slammed his fist against his desk.

WHAT!? HOW DID YOU FAIL!?"

"She... threw sand in my eyes..." Astraea replied with a sniffle as Hallman then got a plan stunned look on his face.

"She did what now?" Hallman replied quite bluntly with little to no signs of anger or shock in his voice... just a monotone sort of tone to his voice.

"Y-Yeah... then some strange weirdo in a shiny white suit fired a tiger eye laser from his sword at my back and knocked me out! Then I woke up covered in sand and my wings hurt, and I can't fly!" Astraea complained as she nearly began crying again.

"I... tiger eye laser...? Can't fly... I... YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE THE MOST SKILLED ANDROID WE HAVE IN COMBAT! ARE YOU SERIOUSLY THAT IDIOTIC TO LET SOME GIRL THROUGH SAND IN YOUR EYES AND SOMEGUY SHOOT YOU!? WHAT ARE YOU? A CHILD ON A GODDAMN PLAYGROUND!? You no what? EMIL YOU HANDLE THIS SITUATION NOW! I NEED TO GO GET SOMETHING TO FUCKING DRINK!!" Hallman replied as he stood up, pushed his chair out of the way, and left his office. As he did the Hologram then turned to face Emil...

Astraea looking as though she is on the verge of tears.

Mara looked at the socket and adapted her connection to it "This has been quite useful, a sort of master electronic key" she said to herself while getting into the framework "Interesting, while this place is rather big with many corridors" the bioroid said out loud, in her mind, the white haired woman felt as if she was charged with energy, this technology was way advanced, and her mind had to wait some seconds to not overload accidentally.

Terra looked out the door behind Phenom. Out there... laid only fear and pain. Death would surely strike out on that battlefield, and it would strike many. Their enemies would fall, one after the other, some of them killed by the same hands Terra now allied herself with. Even she herself could die here. Terra was aware... painfully aware of all of that. However... she also knew that she would not be killing anyone today, except maybe that Null. That thought alone gave her solace.

The answer came in the form of a nod. Terra wasn't exactly certain she was ready for what was out there, but... were her opponents ready for her? She wouldn't just roll over and die, no... She would protect everyone, herself included. A nod was all that was necessary to convey that.

Phenom turned around and cracked his knuckles. He stared at the horizon. He thumbed the handle of his right-side Desert Eagle, contemplating using it, and waited.


15 Minutes Later...

"Phenom... I've been thinking..." Amanda said after a few minutes of waiting. By the time she had spoken up, the horde had come into view, plowing down the mountain they had approached from prior.

"About?"

"This fight. We could easily win if we just mow them down with our guns. Why didn't we just do that from the start?"

The horde was growing closer as they spoke. It was an opportune time for the Angels to engage.

"We could do that, Amanda... but..."

"But?"

An amused, almost sadistic expression visited Phenom's face as he drew his two knives, obsidian in left and steel in right. However, anyone looking at him, would only see that his eyes had partially widened. He lowered himself into a combat position as though he were about to explode forward.


BGM - (0:59 - End)


"That wouldn't be as fun."

"PHENOM, WAI-" Gaspard started, before Phenom exited the inn at full speed, heading toward the horde. Before anyone could blink, he was in the air, over the horde. He dropped down on an unsuspecting raider, driving his knives into his chest. The men in the immediate vicinity scattered. Some remained to fight Phenom, while the rest of the horde continued toward the Inn.

Standing up, Phenom immediately rushed toward the first raider before him, not utilizing his speed. He would have to save that for his fight with the Null and rely on natural skill. The raider threw his weapon over his head and downward at Phenom. The Angel deftly deflected the CQB-ized rifle and spun behind him. Driving his obsidian knife into the raider's back, he blocked another strike from behind him with his steel knife. He ripped the obsidian through its prey's flesh, tearing open his back. In the same move, he drove the obsidian into his other attacker's knee and hoisted him into the air before executing an aerial ax kick, bringing his foot down on the raider's gut with extreme force. As the raider's comrades converged on Phenom in an attempted to pin him while he was on the ground, he executed a backwards ukemi.

Parrying another blow aimed at his head, he drove a series of punches into the next attackers chest before disengaging and parrying another overhead blow coming from his right. Two quick stabs were enough to disarm the new attacker. Phenom then returned to his previous target, driving his obsidian knife into the target's abdomen through his side, just under the armpit. He grabbed the second attacker and threw him into a charging raider before double-palming the first into stun them at the same time. He stabbed his steel knife into the clavicle of the stunned raider on his left, wrenching him downwards. Spinning on his left foot, Phenom kicked his prey into the other stunned feet, sweeping him into the air. Phenom quickly ran towards the airborne raider and threw his steel knife into the air. Jumping up, he planted his right foot on the airborne raiders head and drew one of his Desert Eagles, firing a round into his skull after pushing himself off of the body.

As Phenom sailed through the air, he holstered his Eagle and nabbed his knife, stabbing down on another raider. Phenom continued his dance of steel, tearing through grunt after grunt with ease, despite not tapping into his abilities.

"Oh..." Gaspard reacted, "Thought he was going to waste his time... C'est la vie." He then began firing on the incoming raiders and threw aside his rifle and charged when they entered CQC-range. He then brandished the steel wires that riddled his outfit and began cutting down the raiders as though they were butter.

Amanda, who had been left behind with Terra merely looked at the girl and placed her hand on her shoulder.

"I apologize for their vulgar style. Men and their combat... Shall we join them?"

"Uh... yeah, sure..." Surprise flew through Terra's body. She was surprised that these men could be so... ruthless... So much killing, happening right in front of her. Even though she knew there was no way around it, she was still shocked.

"U-uh... let's go then..." She waited for Amanda, who she hoped was a bit... gentler... to take the lead.

Amanda drew her own hand guns and charged out into battle, firing off a few rounds before teleporting out of sight. As Phenom continued his assault towards where the Null was surely located, Gaspard, Terra, and Amanda were left to deal with the dregs. If Terra were to observe the combating Angels, she'd be able to see that there was a strange fluidity to all of their movements once all three got into the fight. Almost as if they knew exactly where to be at every moment. This was actually to be blamed on the COFFIN uplinks in their brains. Gaspard, able to predict the future, has been fitted with hardware capable of networking his brain with the COFFIN uplinks directly.

They covered each others backs when a normal person would not be able to react fast enough to the situations that they faced.

The three angels' teamwork didn't go unnoticed by Terra. As she watched Amanda join the fray, she observed their synchronized movements and attacks in awe. They simply couldn't have pulled anything like it off with just planning and practice. Terra wondered if there was anything more to it briefly. Then, finally, she looked into the battle herself.

Some of the men before her would die, but not by her hand. Terra herself could die, but not without a struggle. Finally, that steely resolve of hers solidified in her eyes, that determination steadied her muscles and pumped coolness through her blood. Terra noted that the group was moving toward the Null, so she decided it'd be best to follow after them and provide support. The Null was most likely their strongest troop by a long shot, so concentrating themselves around the Null was advantageous to them. Between the four of them they should be able to divide themselves between the grunts and their leader. With that in mind, Terra prioritized forward motion in her assault. With her increased agility, Terra materialized her sword ran for them. Just before reaching their forces, Terra kicked off the ground, slashing upwards as her body flew away from the enemy troops.

As Terra adjusted her body so her feet stayed down in her flight, she extended her hand and sent a beam of golden light out from it. Because of her increased distance from her foes, in addition to her forward momentum, she was able to hit quite a few of them as she swiped her hand in a line along them, cutting herself a path through their scattered ranks. Then, she traded in her sword for a magic bow and some arrows, firing downwards at the place she anticipated she'd land. It was best to assure herself a safe landing. She took a fraction of a second to aim and started rapid-firing arrows that burst into light around her destination (being able to create the arrows in her hand made things a lot easier) and touched down there, skidding slightly forward. Terra called back and her sword and positioned it so that it pointed forward and suddenly shot forward, gliding an inch or two off the ground as glowing feathers trailed behind her. She surrounded herself in an aura of light as she moved, leaving a glowing path in her wake as the aura knocked foes aside and her sword pierced through those in her path.

Quickly, Terra got close to the angels and began to fight near their vicinity. Terra slashed with her sword as it flashed and created slashes in the air that glowed with soft pink luminescence, and when too many of the Null's lackeys came close to her, she would switch to her magic, firing arrows of light or creating gusts of wind or lightning strikes. Keeping an eye on the angels when she could, Terra moved with them as they all grew closer to the Null.
