Perhaps had Fox not served in what had proved to be a largely pointless war, the fake Rei's words would have had the desired effect.

“I'm only here to investigate what's making that signal and shut it down,” Fox said, holding up his Ring now and focusing, “Ring, give me a scan, hurry!”

Green light shot from his Ring, scanning over the image of Rei and moving downwards, possibly scanning over Jagan as well...



Sonic paused, hearing the voices, then started to laugh.

“Come on, you think I asked to be a hero, that I do this so someone will make a statue of me?” Sonic asked the area at large, “Come on, Egg-butt was better at this with this whole psychological warfare.”

He pointed forward, at no one in particular, “I'm Sonic the Hedgehog, and I just do what I feel is right! Whether that makes me a hero or a villain, that's not for me to decide. So whoever is making these voices show up and actually do something, I'm getting tired of running around in circles, and I may decide to just smash a few things.”



“Activating exterior lights,” Omega declared, two small panels popping up on him, shining twin beams of light down the hallway now, lighting the area in front of them.

“Did they think we would not be prepared for the lights off?” Omega grumbled, then paused as he heard the voice, “What is that?”

-Abandoned Space Station-

“Ohhh, feisty, aren't you?” the armored figure said, then held up his hand, no longer pointing the gun at them. “I'm a merc, I was hired as protection for this station, but something went bad and this guy.” he pointed towards the unconscious figure by Hammah, “Went crazy and is now broadcasting across the station, activated a bunch of robots, and killed a bunch of people. He even hired one sick SOB to help him out.”

“Are there any other survivors?” Hammah asked first.

“Haven't found any, you're the first two I've found,” the figure answered, “Who the hell are you, anyways?”

“I'm Hammah, this is Kimi,” Hammah answered, “We heard the distress signal and came to help. There's two others on this station with us.”

“Two others?” the figure asked, “Can they handle themselves in a fight?”

“Yes,” Hammah nodded, “Who are you?”

“Name's Felix,” the armored figure answered, “But we need to find your friends and just hit this station hard with weapons. We have another problem here too, that SOB I mentioned... Guy who calls himself 'Locus,' he's a gun for hire, and deadly. If your friends run into him...”



“...I am sorry, but you are not cleared for that information,” Delta responded.

“They were making A.I.,” another voice said, walking down the hallway with a sniper rifle bared, wearing black and green armor.

“And you two are in my way,” Locus said, taking aim and firing at Sama!

-Haven-

“I can handle myself... I handled myself in NERV, after all... she can't be worse,” Lily said to Rica, “She's about my age, anyways... I need to get away... clear my head.”

Before she did something very stupid.

The figure seemed to vanish as Fox's ring scanned it, largely ignorant of (or actively ignoring) Jagan for a moment, and Fox's ring would have gotten only tiny bits of info on the figure-some indications that whatever the figure was, there was indeed something physical about the image, something that was, as far as matter and energy was concerned, truly "there", and not merely an illusion of some sort. That was about all that the ring would have gotten before the image vanished.

"The only way to stop the message is to destroy the facility..." Rei's voice came. "...and doing so inevitably sets the two of you against each other. Do you trust each other enough to simply part ways, erroneously convinced that each of you shall not interfere with the other's task?"

[---]

Suddenly, the image of Sally appeared before Sonic.

In handcuffs. Being led across the hall by Republic marines.

"You couldn't save me from this, Sonic..." she said, looking at him briefly.

An image of a group of mobians in combat gear appeared, suddenly, their eyes grew wide and they were gunned down, as a group of Republic marines, squatting as if in combat, rushed by, one of them making a "move up" signal with his free hand not carrying his rifle...

"Your protest meant nothing..."

An image of a Mobian battleship appeared, then exploded, as an image of the T.R.S. Crusader flew by, guns already turning towards another target...

"...how many lives...?"

The sounds of agonized moaning from all around Sonic returned.

"...and you never knew what became of us..." he heard. "...you never asked...you never searched...left us to die..."

There was a pause, as silence set in.

Sally's image appeared again.

"And all your attempts to make things right only hurt MORE..."

An image of him standing beside Silver appeared, then an image of Mobians in the streets of Mobotropolis, fighting against each other, some holding up portraits of Amadeus Prower, others holding up the coat-of-arms of House Acorn.

"Sonic...false hero...useless hero...can't save lives...only hurts more..."

[---]

As Mari's shots hit the image...it fell to the ground, letting out a wail of pain.

"WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!" she cried.

"What did I do to YOU?! You abandoned me, left me to be tortured and friendless, and now you shoot at me?!"

Rather than lash out, or scream and curse, or try to attack or get any closer, the (injured?) image of Asuka simply slumped down and sobbed in sorrow and agony.

"Was I a bad friend? Did someone put you up to it...? Why do you leave me...alone...?"

[---]

Didymus chuckled at Omega's question.

"In fairness, this facility DOES look like it's in rather shoddy shape..."

He paused, looking around...

"What is this place? I...was kind of hoping you KNEW, Asuka...I'll admit, I'm a little paranoid. Me having to go straight into the heart of this base, with Katsuragi advising, and the huge fight about who to send...I may have wanted to pick you because you were someone with some inside knowledge of this place that I...trust..." He had said that on a private comm channel he had with Asuka and Omega, so that Misato monitoring them in the Crusader above wouldn't hear.

"But...that voice..."

"Asuka..." the voice called. "...come to Heaven with momny...or you'll be alone, forever...come...come to Heaven with mommy..."

"Alright..." Didymus said. "Stay frosty...move up..."

He glanced behind them, noting no pursuers.

"Alright..." they rounded the corner, and they saw it. A translucent image of a woman, hanging limply from a rope tied to the ceiling around her neck...but there was a deranged smile on her face, and the mouth was still moving...

"Asuka...mommy misses you...fly to Heaven with her...or you'll be allllllll aloooooooooone..."

Next to the woman was a very real object-a doll that looked loosely reminiscent of Asuka, also with a rope around its neck, hanging from the ceiling next to the woman...

"Oh gosh. Asuka, don't look." Didymus said, not sure what exactly was going on but guessing at it.

[---]

The remaining Cerberus soldier was clearly shaken up, but for now the medbots seemed to have stopped coming.

The memory appeared once again before them, emitting a girlish giggle.

"Hehehe...one by one, you're losing people...soon, it'll just be meeeeeeeeeee and yooooooooou...then we can play all I want!"

The Cerberus soldier opened fire, and the shots passed harmlessly through the image, before it vanished again.

"Naughty, naughty...I'll make sure your goodbye is EXTRA special for that...YOU'RE NEEEEEEEEEEEEEXT...unless you kill the man you're escorting. THEEEEEEEEN, I might let you go. Maybe."

If they were to press on, they would see that the next room was a nursery for newborns. The wails of infants in pain, struggling to live, sounded out.

Alongside the walkway, a hallway separated from the nursery rooms by a pair of glass walls on either side, occasionally the ghostly image infants would appear, deformed and otherwise showing all sorts of genetic abnormalities. Looking at the beds would reveal many contained skeletons of deformed human infants, too many bones, not enough bones, improperly sized or even placed...a site not for the squeamish.

An adult's voice could be heard.

"Deformed...the attempts at bringing in the regenerative factor only caused cancer to break out and spread at an exponential rate...miscarriage, didn't even make it out of the womb alive...exposure to mutagenic materials introduced terminal medical complications..."

And the image's voice then could be heard, as they proceeded, singing softly, as if it were a lullaby or nursery rhyme...

Poor children you, out of the sight of God
Brought into this world by those who had trod
On pathways of sin, not caring at all
Except for their win, no matter who falls
Their wages are paid, but paid upon you
The innocents brought forward, who did not make it through
Death came on swift wings, a mercy, no doubt
For one who knows sings, you would have gone without
Affection, love, tenderness, and care
Instead only pain, misery, and despair
God's in His Heaven, all's right with the world
Let's hope He's not looking, for His gaze would unfurl
A legacy offensive, of blasphemy and blood
And His wrath would be kindled like naught since the Flood
But that's of no concern, to you or to me
For progress will be made, though you'll never see...

Jagan was already moving away when that pulse of strange green light came from the hall corner he moved away from. He barely saw it coming, and threw himself into a roll, trying to minimize his profile in case this was something dangerous and damaging. The pulse continued despite his effort, and passed through him without doing... Absolutely anything really. The young agent landed into his maneuver, rolling across his back to slide perfectly back onto his feet.

Whatever that was, it wasn't harmful, so he continued moving away from the chamber.

Fox' scan however, picked up something way beyond the norm. First, Jagan's signature lit up like foreworks: There was so much bioelectrical and electrical interference that it looked like starting at a sparking wire attached to steel wool. There was enough brainwave activity and bioelectrical current to provide a signature for a hundred different people, let alone one single person. Different composite materials were also picked up, unnaturally tough and light alloys made of unfamiliar and unusually refined metals, as well as strange warping in the scan pulse itself when it encountered some form of crystal...

[Abandoned Space Station]

Kimi could feel a headache coming on. On the plus side, it seemed she wouldn't have to kill Felix – but there was some deranged sociopath out there and knowing Sama he was probably in danger. She sighed, turning back towards the unconscious man.

“I don't suppose it would do any good to disconnect him from this machine?”




Sama's ring flashed in the instant before the shot him hit, but the kinetic impact of the powerful sniper shot knocked him backwards. He groaned a little and doubled over – but when he got back up he had his blaster in his hand and was firing several laser shots.

Philanthropy studied the technology of war, but Sama didn't recognize the armor this figure was wearing – but he had a feeling his blaster would be little more than an annoyance. Still, Sama could provide a distraction.

[Haven]

“Fair enough.” Rica knew how hard it was to survive NERV. He had only ever done so because they had made him practically unkillable. “Just don't get yourself killed, kid.”

[Zoness Facility]

“Mari.” Rei's monotone was the same as ever, but she placed a hand on the other girl's shoulder. In the time since she had traveled, Rei had learned a lot, but she wasn't the best at comforting others. “Pull yourself together.”

Mari slowly began to calm down, but she did not lower her weapon. She was twitching and shaking – and then she was grinning.

“It's been a while since I was in hell. I forgot myself... but I'm okay now.”

[…]

“I've never been to this place before.” Asuka shook her head. “Or maybe I have. I don't even know. So much of NERV was a blur... but...”

She stopped when she saw the woman – and the doll. It had been a long time since Asuka thought about the day she found her mother hanging. The trauma was still there, burning a hole in her mind. She went completely silent, staring at the sight without moving or even blinking.

[…]

Gendo let out a small sigh. He pressed a button on his watch and before the remaining Cerberus soldier could respond, his helmet suddenly exploded outward. An implanted explosive in his skull had detonated. Gendo wasn't about to take chances of his men turning on him.

As he proceeded on, seemingly alone, he came upon the nursery and gazed out at it without a trace of shock, horror or compassion. If Ikari could feel anything for what had happened here, it didn't appear on his face.

“If this tour of my actions is supposed to provoke remorse, or fear, then you are merely wasting my time and yours.” Gendo spoke, though it was unclear if it was to Yui or simply to himself. “Everything I ever did was for the good of mankind. They can call me a monster and lock me up, but I am the father of a new age. I will not regret what had to be done.”

Fox dashed forward, his Ring having picked up Jagan's location, pulling out his blaster again as he dashed forward.

“Hey, get back here! Surrender, and I won't open fire!” Fox yelled.



Sonic raised an eyebrow as he was shown the various images.

“You don't know me very well, do you?” Sonic asked the room at large, “Who cares what happened in the past, what happened, happened! Who cares what happens in the future, that hasn't occurred yet! What matters is the here and now.”

Sonic sighed a little, shaking his head. “So you gonna show yourself here?”



“...Shall I engage?” Omega asked, a pink laser sword appearing from one of his hands, glowing softly.

-Abandoned Space Station-

“No, he's already on the mainframe or whatever,” Felix answered, shaking his head. “Where's your ship, we need to just get out of here.”

“We have to get Jimi and Sama first,” Hammah said, shaking his head.

Felix sighed, “Great... Sure. Okay. Let's do that, then-”

The facility shook suddenly, almost as if...

“The idiot's started the retro thrusters!” Felix said, “He's going to throw us out of orbit!”

“That would destroy him too!” Hammah said. “Unless... Crap...”

He turned to Kimi, “We gotta hurry and find Sama and Jimi here, and get back to the ship!”



Locus dodged to the side, avoiding a couple of the blasts but several others hit his armor, but he kept moving.

Jimi opened fire as well, Locus throwing up an energy shield covering his front.

“You two should not be here. Surrender the Delta A.I., and I won't have to kill you. That is my mission,” Locust said, dropping his shield and firing at Jimi, hitting the armor and knocking him backwards, Jimi quickly picking himself back up.

As Fox chased Jagan off down the hall, the images and voices were silent and gone, nothing interrupting them...

[---]

"Negative, Omega." Didymus said. "But...be ready."

"Uh, Asuka...?" Didymus said.

He looked at the image.

"In the name of God-"

"God?" the image said, the mouth still moving on the otherwise limp body.

"That name has no power her-"

"LIA-" Didymus began.

"Unless...Asuka...why don't you go see Him with mommy? Did He hear your cries when you were all alone? Did He show up to be your daddy when mommy left you? No, only silence answered your cries, didn't it? No hand of compassion from someone who knows and loves you, human or Heavenly? You ARE alone, as long as you don't fly to Heaven with mommy...so do it. Join mommy. Fly to Heaven and demand answers from a Father that was deaf to your cries..."

A sound echoed out in the hall.

"Mommy, mommy! Don't *sob* leave me!"-a voice that would have been very familiar to Asuka indeed...

Didymus faced Asuka.

"Omega, keep watch." he said. "You, thing, the Lord rebuke you..."

The image chuckled again.

"That name has NO-"

"Asuka. Look at me. Look at me. Look at me. ONLY AT ME. You are NOT alon-"

"YOU ARE ALON-" the image insisted.

"YOU ARE NOT ALONE! PETERSON TOOK YOU I-"

"A USELESS FATHER WHO COULDN'T KEEP YOU FROM NERV AND NEVER UNDERSTOOD YOU!"

"-Omega's here-"

"-an overgrown garbage can, in YOUR OWN WORDS AND HIS!"

"-and...I AM HERE."

"And so what? You think that she'll leave you, and you just want her to spread her legs!"

Didymus paused. But didn't break eye contact with Asuka.

"That. Is. Not. True." he said.

"He's said himself he's afraid he's only attracted to your BODY!"

"...and I am! But-"

"HE ADMITS IT!"

"-but Asuka, you're my girl! Maybe not my bride, but MY GIRL! I quote our Lord when I say NEVER will I forsake you-"

"Ah, and now the SERMON-"

"-NEVER will I abandon you, Him willing! Peterson cares about you, Omega cares about you...and...and you KNOW I care about you! I don't know-"

"SPREAD YOUR LEGS AND WATCH HIS INTEREST VANISH!" the image was wailing like a banshee now. "WATCH HIM LEAVE WHEN YOU GIVE HIM WHAT HE WAAAAAAAAAAANTS!"

"-I don't KNOW if-"

"HE DOESN'T-"

"I don't know if "we'll" work out, but I'll always-"

"-LOVE YOU!"

"ALWAYS have your happiness on my mind, as a friend, or a sister in battle, or as a bride, I don't know, but ALWAYS for as long as I draw breath, at least!"

"He lies, he lies, he lieeeeeeeees!"

Didymus actually grinned a bit, very briefly.

"Come on, Asuka. You know I'm a terrible liar."

"A FILTHY LIAR! None of them understand or love you, daddy abandoned you...Asuka...only mommy loved and understood you...and she wants you to JOOOOOOOOOIIIIIIN HEEEEEEER...why else would I have hung you here with me? I wanted to spare you the horrors you're doomed to...fly, fly to Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllll with me, Asukaaaaaaaa..."

"Don't listen to this demon message, Asuka. IT is lying. You are NOT alone. You DO have people who CARE about you. Two of us are RIGHT FREAKING HERE."

He regarded the image again.

"In HIS name, whatever you are, if indeed you are what you appear to be-"

"Then you're all wrong, since I'M STILL HEEEEEEERE..."

"-begone!"

[---]

The images slowly faded...but Sonic's communicator beeped. And buzzed. It sounded for a moment like it may have been malfunctioning, before snapping back on.

"S-Sonic?" Sally's voice. "Sonic, the-some rebe-"

"OUR ONLY QUEEN IS LIBERTY! DEATH TO THE IMPOSTER QUEEN!"-another voice, and gunshots!

"Soni-" an incomplete, panicked cry escaped the comm channel before it was replaced with static...

[---]

"And one more of yours, slain by your hand..." the image's voice came out.

It suddenly appeared next to Gendo, walking with her/its hands behind her/its head.

"You really are a piece of work, aren't you? The father of a new age. The best for humanity. Hmph."

She smiled up at him.

"Of course, I'm a piece of work, too." she said. "You want to know what ELSE is a piece of work?" she asked, and suddenly Yui's voice came over the PA system.

"Husband, RUN! She's locked me out of the cleansing system! Follow the lights-I should be able to keep her out of THAT!"

The image giggled, as acid droplets began to spray into the nursery from spigiots in the roof, designed to eradicate biological...leftovers. Living or otherwise.

"How would you like a taste of medicine that you served up to your victims...? A fine paragon of humanity, you, indeed..."

The emergency lights flickered, but remained on, leading Gendo down a hallway, past another section of the nursery, what was clearly a delivery room, where a woman wailing in the pain or sorrow, it was hard to tell-and into another hallway, where a door was starting to close, which would trap Gendo in the zone that was being "cleansed"...then it slowly began to open-then stopped, and began to close again, as if its control was being fought over...

"RUN, HUSBAND! I CAN'T KEEP THIS DOOR OPEN FOREVER!" Yui's voice came.

"No, embraaaaaaace your own methods..." came the image's voice.

Unfortunately for Fox, Jagan wasn't one to be caught easily, if at all. So the moment the mobian hero started moving after the snake-eyed youth with a vocal call to stop, Jagan was already running his mind through several possible contingencies.

With direct conflict now looming in his near future, Jagan decided to start stacking things in his favor. If he could throw Fox off his trail for just a minute or so, that would make it easier for him to get away without needing to cause any damage or taking any himself. But if they were to be directly confronting one another, Jagan had quite a few options at his disposal. At the moment, he wasn't lacking for tricks or equipment, and he had been fully stocked for any eventuality he might encounter, including possible lethal resistance from a wholly intact defense contingent in case this facility only seemed dead.

So as he ran, he once more chose a good corner to turn, a t-intersecting hallway going left and right from which he came before. One way led up the stairs and back to the upper floor where he came in originally, the other went in an unidentified direction. So Jagan turned the corner back up the staircase, throwing a small cylinder at the wall right next to the corner the moment he was out of direct line of sight.

That cylinder gave a whine as it powered up and amped up its internal charge stored in a focusing crystal, arming as Jagan continued to dash, making it to the staircase and taking it several steps at a time. The cyilinder was a rather simple thing: A crystal storing a potent static electrical charge, a smaller crystal to store direct electrical charge to power a converter attached to the larger crystal, the rotating magnetic converter around the larger crystal with the static charge, a set of small coils for electric dispersal and a proximity trigger. It was a small high-intensity Taser Mine set into the wall right behind the corner turn, out of sight and in a perfect location to avoid being noticed until the very last moment...

“Device detected,” Fox's ring spoke, tracking Jagan as he ran, scanning ahead. But Fox was already turning, and Jagan's electrical mine went off.

Fox was hit with the shock, his Ring activating a barrier but not quite fast enough, feeling the electricity surge through his systems.

He stumbled, but managed to regain his footing, stopping for a moment to try and straighten himself out.

“...Okay, confirmed hostile,” Fox said, glowing as he lifted up in the air with his Ring, then shot forward, following after Jagan, moving faster now!



Omega paused, then simply stepped forward, and attempted to punch the image.

He is a robot of simple plans.



Sonic froze, hearing the voice over his comlink. But... they were under water, he couldn't send a signal up from here... was he able to get one? But... but...

“Sally...” Sonic said, closing his eyes, trying to focus. This thing was trying to trick him before... could it be tricking him again?

-Haven-

Galv stood across from his supposed uncle, Eric, the two red headed lightning users eying each other.

“...So just how much can you do?” Eric asked after about a minute of silence.

“...Don't know,” Galv answered, “I kept destroying the machines NERV was using to test me. How about you?”

“Heh... seems you're stronger then me then. I had more raw power then me sis, but not that strong. Guess 'cause you was born wit it.”

“Maybe... my sister isn't as strong in it though,” Galv said, “She's... less then Mom too, in terms of raw power...”

“Heh... bet that pisses her off,” Eric said, “Show me what you can do then.”

“...Fine,” Galv said, then focused. Electricity sparked around his body, building up for a couple seconds as he charged, then threw his hands forward, lightning blasting forward and hitting Eric, who stumbled backwards from the hit, surprised as he absorbed the electricity some himself.

Galv stopped after a moment, taking a couple deep breaths as the electricity died around him.

“...Not bad, kid,” Eric said.

Melanie knew that she should have been relieved that her enemy (?) was heading out on her own accord, but something felt empty about the victory. Maybe it was because she was just finally getting along with he girl....Sorta.

But she said nothing, it wasn't her place. Instead she stayed next to her brother, frowning a bit.

[The Valkyrie]

Chloe wasn't usually taken aback but she did feel her cheeks heat up considerably at the mention that the ship was named after her.

“A badass warrior woman who slaughters foes and decides who lives and who dies. Sounds a lot like you, Chloe.”

"Well I do have to admit that's a pretty kickass description of me" she decided, leaning forward quickly and catching the young man's lips. She wasn't much for PDA but Edda totally earned it right then.

The electric mine gave Jagan enough 'breathing room' to ascend the staircase fully and dash down the hall and around another bend towards one of the labs he had visited previously. As he rounded said corner, he could see out of the corner of his eye a distant green light, and set another of those mines around the bend he was dashing past, heading right for one of those blocked-off lab doorways he had previously covered with one of the shimmering fields.

He barely made it through the doorway before the mine he had set behind him was notice and either went off or was disabled. He had just a few seconds to make his next move, and it was a lot less than he expected to have when facing against Star Fox. For being a Mobian agent, his ability to completely shake off one of the electric mines was... Disconcerting to say the least.

He was going to make a bit of a stand here, try his opponent's capabilities before blasting his way out. First, he whipped a disc out of storage and sent it sliding across the floor, where it came to rest between two tables. The disc immediately deployed eight long 'legs' in a circular pattern around itself, creating a radius of about three quarters of a meter in diameter. These legs set themselves into the floor and energy began to cycle between them, making a rather bright-looking circle of hyper-agitated molecules.

As the gadget set itself to work, the young agent brought up his left arm, quickly accessing the holographic computer screens of his own private terminal, and set the two drones still zipping about the room to their third configuration. Each of the drones had three configurations they operated on: Scouting, Data Acquisition and Combat Support. While neither of the three had major weaponry available to them, they were equipped with small shield generators and a much smaller and compact version of the LAG (Lightning Arc Generator). With only five shots apiece, it wasn't much of a threat, but that's why their mode was combat support.

Now, with a prepared arsenal of gadgets that included the shimmering field in the doorway, the two drones, his own two pistols which he trained on the door while taking cover behind one of the tables and that small cylinder still happily casting a red pulsing light above the door, Jagan was prepared for a bit of a shoot-out if needed. As for his way out...

Well, that's what the last little toy he deployed was for.

Lily sighed, then turned back to Melanie.

“...Come on, let's go get those diapers for Elizabeth. Hopefully Galv will be back by the time we get home,” Lily said.

-The Valkyrie-

Edda blushed as Chloe kissed him, enjoying it and kissing her back for a moment before he pulled back.

“Heh, I'll have to name more things after you,” Edda commented.

-Zoness Facility-

Green energy glowed around Fox as he shot forward, concentrating on his Ring and getting ready for a fight. This person had to know what was going on, and it was his job to find out.

He pulled out his blaster in one hand as he entered the room where Jagan was, bringing his Ring hand up and creating a barrier to deflect any first shots fired at him, attempting to discern where it was coming from before he fired back!

The moment Fox stepped through the doorway and through the shimmering field across it, the two cylinders set to the inside of the doorframe turned red, opened and released a strong electric current in the form of an arcing bolt of lightning that splattered and lapped at Fox's shield like tendrils in an electrostorm ball. Unlike the mines, however, the effect didn't stop after a second or two. It kept flaring against Fox's shield, testing his defense, forcing him to pay attention to keeping the shield up and protecting his sides.

That's when Jagan leaned out from behind his cover, lined up a pistol and took a three-shot burst at Fox with one of those long-barreled pistols he carried. There wasn't much of a flare, nor was there much sound from the shots as the rail-based hand-held weaponry accelerated projectiles at higher speeds than conventional weaponry, splattering three bullets across the front of fox's shield, cracking with a rather strange sound for bullets made of metal...

Until Fox's shield flared in front of him and began to glow a brighter green than anywhere else around him, the energy of the shield suddenly incapable of holding coherent within small clouds of crystalline dust released by the bullets upon impact.

That's when Jagan lined up a shot, aimed for one of the beginning holes in Fox' shielding, and fired a single shot aimed at the mobian's neck...

Now becomes the the past in an instant — and everyone will eventually die! Destiny triumphs over human knowledge and goes mad! That is the way of things! I spit upon this frail, crazed, world! I spit upon the Second Law of Thermodynamics!

The Green Lantern ring was a powerful object, but one of it's limits was on the will of the user.

Fox's shield was punctured, Jagan shooting again through the shield.

Something flared around Fox for just a second, a secondary shield, blue in color and oddly hexagonal in shape, flaring around him, working for just a second, reflecting Jagan's second shots from him.

Fox dropped down now then dashed forward, bringing his Green Lantern shield closer around him, trying to condense it.

“I don't know what you think you're doing working for NERV, but I will make sure you're stopped!” Fox declared, under the impression Jagan was working for whoever had been sending the signal.



Sonic paused, looking up, hearing fighting not too far from him...

Jagan noted the secondary shield the moment it flared. Jagan didn't respond in any way except to lean behind cover, but even he understood the significance.

Layering shields was a pain and a half to do. To see it done so easily meant that both of the shields used vastly different projection types to not interfere with one another. And that meant that Fox was... Very well-equipped indeed. But even that shield would start to flicker when exposed to the small cloud of crystalline dust created when the bullet impacted with it and its kinetic momentum was suddenly changed. The bullets were designed to be very fragile, and while Fox's shield did indeed deflect it, the crystalline bullet disintegrated into dust mere inches away from the shield layer.

But it was more than enough for him to switch tactics, concentrate and rush Jagan's covered position. And that's when one of the support drones finally swooped in.

There was no sound at all as something small, just a tiny spike impacting with Fox' shield from the side. It wasn't enough to worry about even when un-shielded, the spike itself was mostly harmless. But it did provide to be the targeting point for something far, far more dangerous. The moment the drone fired the dart, Jagan's visor automatically shut down visual reception and projected a vacuum-field within the parts covering the ears.

There was an extremely loud blast of sound, like that of a rolling explosion and the smell of ozone filled the air as a full, storm-class lightning bolt ripped from the front of the drone's projector and hit the tiny dart that it fired at Fox's shield. This happened the moment the spike's tip touched the energy field the mobian had covering him, and all that electrical potential suddenly surged right into the shield surface. Both the blinding flash and the sudden sound of thunder was enough to serve both as an effective flashbang and as a weapon.

And Jagan's visor completely negated the disorienting flash-and-explosion entirely.

The moment the bolt of lightning struck the lights flickered around them in the lab as excess electrical currents were shunted into the metallic structure, causing magnetic fluctuations that interfered with signals within wires. As the lights flickered and steadied, Jagan leapt out from behind his cover as his visor opened his senses again, throwing himself into a rolling slide between two lab tables, firing both pistols at his hopefully-disoriented opponent.

Had Fox kept his shield farther from him, he might have been able to shift enough power and negate part of the lightning. But by keeping it this close to him, he didn't have enough time, the blast shooting into his shield, which did absorb part of it, but shattered and the rest hit the fox mobian, who was blasted hard, the thunder booming across the room and tossing the pilot aside.

He hit the far wall, hard, staggering as Jagan brought his pistols up and fired.

There was a flash of blue, and Fox was suddenly not there, pulled to the side, another mobian figure in armor having appeared now.

“So there was a fight going on,” Sonic said, rubbing his nose and turning towards Jagan, “Hey, will you chill out already?”

“He's... NERV!” Fox said, breathing hard, “He's got to be...”

Sonic narrowed his eyes at Jagan, then paused. “Wait... wait... I know you! You work for that... Tasty... Mocha? No... Testy... Nacho? No... Desty Nova! That's it! He's your boss or whatever, right? Crazy guy, wild hair, right? He made this armor for me.”
