Cortana's Custom Simulation
In the matter of miliseconds that Cortana´s palms were coming towards her face, her right arm was already close to the AI´s chest, so she decided to start her tactics
The bioroid twisted her wrist and grabbed Cortana´s shirt. Using the palm strike of the AI, Mara lowered her head so the top of it would receive the attack as she pulled Cortana hitting on the head, but using the momentum to lift her chest with the right hand and the leg with the left one sending the AI on an arc above and to the back of the white haired

"Spirit elemental. This might sound strange, but every person has an elemental derived from their spirit. This keystone was of the fire elemental, and it reacted to your spirit." Dalia walked over to the wall and rested against it. "Crystal Fusion tends to tie your soul to a crystal. The keystone unlocks that bond and thus breaks the connection slightly. Before, the crystal had more influence on you than your sould did on it. now the opposite is true. You are in control."

"Sigh...another number." Cicero shook his head. "Tell me, What do you think the Shards are? Have you heard the stories? The Legends? What do you think? Or are you incapable of higher thought and are merely a pawn to be manipulated as your 'superiors' do please?" He smirked as though expecting a certain response.

Nero turned and was smiling, even though his eyes portrayed a different emotion: a mixture of sorrow and lingering hope. "Ever since you told me how you got here, I started to ask myself something...'Are the legends true?'" He went to a wall and leaned against it. "I'm beginning to think that we have a chance to end the War of Eternity. And you are a part of the solution. You bear a connection to the legends. You inadvertently became a part of them when you came here. I have a feeling, that we find your memories...we'll find the truth and thus the end of the war. The end of suffering..."

A man wearing a red bandanna walked up to Terra. "Ah, you're looking for a Hangar Management Officer? Right this way." The man led her over to a terminal with a woman who seemed busy looking through a graphical representation of the entire hangar system on the port side of the ship.
"Ok...bay 6500 is...no wait...it's 6540...or is it...ugh..."
Once Terra was by the officer, the man stepped back and without anyone noticing, had vanished.

Eve looked at Cicero slightly confused at first as she looked around. "What... what year is it? How long have I been in a state of eternal slumber?" She asked as she looked at the strange young man.

Hajime continued through the cave, as he proceeded things began... to seem more... artificial. The walls seemed to be made out of some sort of ancient metal with overgrown vines coming out of the cracks of the walls, strange writing on the walls, strange murals that seemed to have been painted onto the walls had seemed to have eroded to the point where it's impossible to tell what the murals were. Hajime was very cautious as he proceeded through the ancient ruins. Eventually he came into a large circular room. The room was unbelievably large. Massive even. The center of the room was nothing but a large pit with what seemed to be a incredibly large robot lying in the pit. The robot had to be at least a few stories tall. Hajime couldn't even see the lower half of the robots body. This machine was in a state of complete disrepair. It was covered in moss, bugs, dirt, even some crystals were growing from the inside of the robot. They were barely noticeable though. Hajime had found himself in the Main Chamber of the Nasod King.

"... What is this place?" He said to himself as he walked across the walkway along the side of the wall. Being careful not to fall he proceeded slowly. As he was about halfway across the walkway, the floor behind him crumbled away. Hajime tensed up a bit as he looked at the now crumbled away floor. "Holy sh*t... I'm glad I wasn't standing there just now..." He said as he continued treading across the walkway carefully.

"Troops! Form up! concentrate fire!" Two infantry leaders, one near John, and one near Aion, gave the orders. The NGO infantry began to form ranks and took aim at their respective targets. "Aim! Fire!" Row by row, the soldiers let loose a volley of energy blasts until the limit of their weapons kicked in. That row dropped down for the next row and focused their shields as one to create a sort of barricade in front of the squad. (Shield index 2.5)
***
Aion fused his gunblades together and countered the suppressing fire with his own shields, focused along the flat of the blade. He held his ground for a moment before making his next move.
Most would have fled to cover away from the assault.
Aion did the opposite.
First he threw a grenade towards his attackers just before his shields broke. The grenade caused enough of a distraction to stop them from firing. That was when he had closed the gap between him and the squad and began tearing into them with his great sword.
With broad sweeps with both hands wielding the broadsword, he cut down the enemy until there was one left. The man had fallen and was scrambling away from Aion. Right when he was almost back up, Aion had grabbed him and threw him back down onto his back.
He held the soldier down with his foot on his chest.
He pointed the end of his sword at the NGO infantryman's face; the barrel of the gun portion aligned perfectly between his eyes.
The tanks had their guns trained on Aion, waiting for their chance.

Deimos continued down the halls, until he cam eto a large room partially flooded with lava. Most would now turn back, but instead, he continued forth, going through the lava like it was nothing, and luckily he had fireproof clothing and equipment due to himself, so it was completely fine. He got out on the other side of the room, looking back for a moment.
"Nothing like a refreshing swim." Deimos chuckled.

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.
You just discard their guts and keep on driving.

As the Aura bullets flew towards John, he readied himself for a feat of strength that no normal person would be capable of. Using his right hand embedded in the wall, John leaned down and in swift motion, launched himself upward with enough force to send a car flying. The result was enough to rocket him all the way to the top of the tower. As John soared above the roof, he noticed the sniper turning around to take aim at him. Reacting quickly, John used his M6D Magnum Pistol and fired three times at the soldier. Just like before, the first two bullets slammed into the soldier's shields and exploded, allowing the final bullet to fly unimpeded by the soldier's energy shield. The final bullet struck dead center in the man's chest, exploding in its target and eliminating the sniper. Just as the sniper hit the ground, John fell back down towards the tower's roof. Right before landing, John had an idea. Right before he touched the ground, John crouched in midair, increased his suit's weight to 7,000 lbs and as soon as his feet were within range of the roof, John stomped down, breaking the roof and sending him two floors below, where the other sniper was.
As soon as John broke through the ceiling, the sniper spun around and fired, striking John's shields in the left thigh. As John fell, he quickly fired off three more shots, destroying the sniper's shields, then killing him. Right before he touched the ground, John lowered his suit's weight back to its original setting and landed on the floor, shaking the room, but keeping the floor intact. Now that the snipers were dead, John could move on to the next phase of his plan. He still needed to eliminate the soldiers down below, but they would be neutralized soon enough.
John looked around the room until he got a rough idea where the building's support beams were. Thankfully, the building was just tall enough for it to land right in front of the tank when it would fall. After walking over to where the building's support beams would be, John pulled his fist back and slammed it straight through the wall, striking the beam and breaking it. As soon as the first beam was out, John did the same to two others, sparing the furthest beam. After the beams were destroyed, John then walked over to the window as he reloaded his pistol and his shields charged, and positioned himself in the nearest tank's line of sight. Once that was done, John waited for the tank to fire.

"I would actually need to use the power on something, but how do I get back to my ship...?" Nhiome picked up the orb again, careful to use his left hand so that the keystone did not react to the crystal fusion again. Well, since she already knows... He created another flame in his hand, making it as bright as he could, then looked around again for a way out.

As I have stated before, my current and only objective is to find and extract intelligence to my superiors. Your jamming is interrupting my attempts at gathering intelligence. If you do not have anything to say, then I will move on. If you choose to disclose information, I will relay it to my superiors for their evaluation.

Cicero then snapped his fingers and the whole scene changed. They were no longer at the lake or the woods. They were inside an old house. Abandoned. It had fallen to ruin over the course of time. Pictures and various belongings lay untouched throughout. Dust settled in layers over tables and light fixtures. Pictures covered in webs. Cicero was no longer there, Only the Operator stood in what could only be described as the living room of a house. A couch was along one wall in front of a window with moth-eaten curtains blocking the view outside, which seemed to be shrouded in a grey mist. A fireplace was in the corner of the room. embers smoldered in the pit, seeming to emit a grey light. Along the wall opposite of where the Operator stood was a mirror with an ornate frame that seemed to be of greying, splintering wood. To the left, a cabinet stood with a set of pictures sitting on top of it.
Some of the pictures were laying facedown. One was still standing and it was covered in dust. but the faint image of a woman was in it...
A woman that bore a resemblance to the Operator without her armor or augmentations.

"I think I feel a slight draft of cold air...let's see if this is the way up...?" She started to head for it but the stumbled slightly in the ankle deep waters covering the floor of the room.

After about thirty minutes, Deimos stumbled upon a towering room, a large spinning drill like object in the center. A large hole was around it, showing that the drill continued down to what appeared to be the planet's core. Luckily, a railing was in place. He stepped forward on a small bridge which led to what seemed to be the control panel for the drill and seemingly, the temple itself. Deimos had stumbled onto the archelogical jackpot. If an Anodyne had a mouth, he would be smiling right about now. Instead, he gave a hearty laugh.
