Jack took one look at the pond and slumped his shoulders.
(Sh*t...), Jack thought to himself.
The MJOLNIR armor was designed to shrug off bullets and plasmafire, orbital drops and small explosions, but if there was one thing it could not do, it was float. Jack would have no problem catching the robot down below, but it would be very hard to get back out. At last he still had his energy shield. His shield would at least make the mud and water slide off as soon as he would exit the pond.
Jack walked into the water, waiting until he was completely submerged before going after the robot. As soon as he was submerged, Jack pushed towards the robot as hard as he could, rocketing him towards Bubble Man.
Isaac gave a slight smile at Lujuria. It was mind boggling that not even a couple of hours ago, they were enemies, but now, they were sitting together, talking and having a good time.
"Well then there's a first time for everything... and I'll admit, I had my doubts about helping you, but I had fun too.", Isaac said to Lujuria.
Bubble Man immediately noticed Jack as he rocketed towards him. Bubble Man FREAKED out by all means of the word. He tried to swim out of the way, but due to how he was designed he looked like he was jumping repeatedly towards the surface.
That's when Bubble Man quickly remembered his Bubble Lead. Almost instantly Bubble Man was surrounded by a thick bubble made out of a strong and durable substance with similar properties to lead. Yet the bubble looks like any ordinary bubble. Jack would most likely just bounce off of it unless he used something sharp to pop it. Bubble Man was laughing at Jack who was outside of the bubble barrier.
Jack saw the thickness of the bubble and quickly thought about the possible outcomes. A small bubble would be easy to pop, due to it's thin membrane, but this bubble, it had a much thicker membrane, one that Jack doubted he could penetrate by simply ramming into it. Jack then figured that the best course of action would be to use one of his Katanas to pierce it. There was a chance that he might not rupture the bubble, but either way, he would be inside with the robot.
Putting his plan into action, Jack pulled out one of his Ceramic Carbide katanas and pointed it in front of himself, ready to pierce the bubble and tag the robot inside. As soon as Jack penetrated the bubble, he reached out with his other hand and tried to tag the robot.

Higan "Shikieiki isn't the one to be blamed for this." Yukari coldly replied. "It was a clever plan, rused by Flandre Scarlet and Seija Kijin, both who have enough potential power to challenge me or Shikieiki. They used a loophole in your laws, admit it."
Bubble Man kept laughing, but as soon as Jack popped the bubble barrier around him Bubble Man began to freak out again. His muffled screams could be heard as Jack tagged him. "F*&%!!" He cursed as he was finally tagged, however much like his screams beforehand his voice was muffled by the water. Afterwards Bubble Man swam to the top of the pond in disappointment.
"... take off that damn armor. It's distracting. The war's over... you don't need to protect yourself from anything anymore...
That's when she thought of... someone. She began accidentally reciting the phrase.
"You don't need to shut yourself off... the armor... you no longer need it... because I'll... protect..."
Lujuria snapped to reality.
King 2: The problem is not your revival. It is the fact that Shikieiki watched the event unfold before her and did nothing to stop it.
King 3: It would be much different if she were to have been away from the scene, in which case she would have to hunt the revived and put them back to rest.
King 6: As a matter of fact, you, Ran, and Meiling are all technically in pending trial as far as whether or not you should continue to live.
King 8: It's nothing personal, but death is something you have to deal with, and being revived is like throwing off the balance of the world. It's simply a matter of panic suppression and safety.
King 4: Yes, if word were to get out that someone has been revived, panic would ensue. The worry of death will decrease, at which point the foolish humans would kill without worry of murder for they think that the murdered will revive. It may be exaggeration, but that's the way it is.
After a couple minutes of sitting at the bar and speaking, John decided that it would be best if he looked for Yuuka now. He didn't know where she was, so he needed as much time as possible to find her.
"Well Six, I have to go find someone, but I'll be back soon.", John said to Six.
"Ok. I'm going to be here for a while anyways.", Six said after taking another drink from the sake dish in front of him.
John stood up, put his helmet back on, and began to walk out of the bar, but before he left, John turned to Six and said one more thing to him.
"Oh, and if Komachi and Yukari return before I do, tell them I went to go talk to Yuuka.", John said to Six.
"Got it.", Six nodded at John.
John left the bar and began his search for Yuuka. He knew that she didn't like to be the center of attention, so that quickly narrowed down where she could possibly be. The entire city was bustling with activity, which meant that she would not be there. John didn't think that she would leave the party, so she had to still be underground. The only place that wasn't crowded was Chireiden.
With Chireiden in his sights, John activated his thrusters and flew towards the large building. John looked searched the area, flying around the giant palace until he saw something green, red, and white up on top of the palace's roof. John zoomed in his HUD's vision until he could get a clear image of who was on the roof. It was Yuuka, sitting alone. Changing his trajectory, John turned towards her location and flew towards her, slowing down and landing 10 feet away.
"What are you doing up here?", John asked Yuuka.
Jack smiled inside of his helmet as he put away his katana and landed at the bottom of the pond. Now it was just a matter of getting out. Putting all of his strength into his legs, Jack pushed off and surged through the water, getting closer to the edge of the pond. As soon as Jack landed, he pushed off again, this time bringing his head above the water. Now that he was closer to the edge of the pond, he simply walked out. The murky water and mud slid off of his energy shields as he exited the water, leaving him in pristine condition when he was back on dry land.
(Only a few more to go...), Jack thought as he sprinted towards the bridge, paying attention for any dots that might have been along the way.
Isaac looked at Lujuria in confusion and concern. It was strange to see Lujuria suddenly lose touch with reality, but he had seen people do the exact same thing before.
"Are you okay?", Isaac asked Lujuria.

Meanwhile at the bridge Shade Man was hiding in the shadows. He was hanging upside down much like a bat would. He was using something similar to echo-location to detect any possible oncoming people that might tag him. Either way if anyone were to get close he can just use his Noise Crush to temporarily stun any possible threats...
After Lujuria spoke Isaac nodded in understanding. He knew exactly what was going on. She was seeing repressed memories. Isaac remembered when he began seeing his own. It was right after the Ishimura Incident, when Isaac was told that his entire search for Nicole was for nothing, than she killed herself before the Necromorphs could get her. She sent him a suicide video, explaining why and saying that she cared about him, but his mins suppressed her death. That's when Isaac's descent into madness first started.
Isaac continued to watch, concerned, but knowing that it would be best if he didn't interrupt the flow of memories.
