Maemi's Laboratory Testing Ground Area A (above ground)

In the vast cracked and sandy plains rises a large steel tower. On the top of this tower, rather than standing in the observation deck was a blue haired woman in a flapping white lab coat. She had one hand held against the pole that rose from the top of this tower while the other hand held a pair of binoculars looking out past the observation deck's view:

Tanks. Several red painted tanks with a crude 'C.K.B.' stamped upon them lay idly in the dunes and cracked terrace that looked like a minefield. "Okay, it seems the ground crew already have the targets set up." says the blue haired woman, removing the binoculars to a pair of red Beijionese eyes. She lets the binoculars fall around her shoulders, and replaces them with her folded glasses which she then places back onto her nose before smiling. She picks up the megaphone that was tied to her white mini-skirts belt and unclips it before bringing the megaphone to her mouth:

"Attention! All staff please proceed to mandatory safe-zone areas! Yes, the places with the black and yellow lines and blast shields; this is Doctor Maemi Masamune starting 'Tylos firing test #014', when you are in the necessary safezone, fire your green signal flare if you are ready to go!" Maemi exclaims, dropping the megaphone now and pulled out a pistol sized weapon which she raised high above her head before firing:

Pa-PLFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!

The small flare exploded, sending a tail of green colored smoke high into the air before exploding into a large ball of green. Within seconds, three other signal flares also exploded from various angles and distances, a sign that told the blue haired scientist that the test was ready for a go.

She grinned a large beaming smile, her breasts heaving as she jumps up and down excitedly. "Right on! Now to begin the operation!" she exclaimed, jumping back, falling off the tower but managed to grab the edge of the tower roof in time before swinging her body into the observational deck which was darker and cooler to stand in than the roof above. She got tired gazes from one of her assistants inside who only sighed and hasn't yet uncovered the reason for his boss's eccentricities since he's started working for her four years ago.

She claps him on the back and sneers. "Begin the operation, it's play time for Tie-Tie." she giggles and her assistant only grumbles as he turns a key then presses a large black button.

Several yards ahead of the tower, the cracked ground trembled and sand fell as the earth opened up on sliding metal trap doors. The loud metallic hum of the bay doors widening pierced the empty afternoon sky before a loud metallic 'CLICK' ended the hum. Another harmonizing sound began to rise, as the large elevator containing the large thirty-five and a half foot bi-pedal Lizard from under the earth. It's large size easily seen from where Maemi stood within the observation deck. She folded her arms and grinned and blushed wildly. "Isn't he a beaut?" she says with a girlish giggle. She brings up her PDA and begins typing a code of logic. "Okay Tie-Tie, time to show what you are made of!" she exclaimed, activating the beast manually.

She brings up her PDA and begins typing a code of logic. "Okay Tie-Tie, time to show what you are made of!" she exclaimed, activating the beast manually.

The large steel gray beast opened it's large red eyes before snarling and letting out a tremendous roar that shook the blast shields glass at each one of the observation towers. The creature turned it's gaze to it's right, noticing the blue haired woman whom had 'tamed' Tylos's powers and occasionally called him, 'Tie-Tie'. The creature snarled and then turned it's attention upon the field of tanks ahead of him. "Okay Tie-Tie, time to show what you are made of!" The beast could hear his Mistress say this as she then activated his ability to 'lock on' to targets. He targeted the farthest tank from him, which looked almost like a pebble from where he stood. A large white line crossed in front of him. "Remember sweetie, you can't cross the white line, but remain behind it at all times when your shooting your 'Ion' Blasts!" came the Mistress again, and the creature seemed to 'nod' in acknowledgement. It got behind the white line, shaking the earth as it did before digging itself down before opening it's maw into a wide 'yawn', and began forming a flashing red orb of light from it's throat. Within seconds it fires a narrow but chaotic black and red blast of energy, Tylos' bronze scales glowing with white rippling waves as the beam streams out and hits the tank with a powerful explosion following it. Still in mid blast, he begins to turn his head, keeping a steady stream as the blast then tears two of the other far away tanks in half with explosive results!

"YES!" Maemi exclaimed jumping up and down with her heavy assets jumping with her. "That's what I'm talking about!" she adds, winking to her Assistant before bumping her left hip into his right hip purposefully. "Tylos has amazing eyesight, noted by the video feed we've collected from his corneas; I mean, after this exorcise I'm going to have him outfitted with the X-Ray Vision mod that I've been tinkering with; of course it won't be REAL X-Ray Vision, but still, he'll be able to see through almost any layer and assess threats on his own by then!" She exclaimed laughing maniacally for exactly two seconds before alarming her Assistant by slamming her hands down upon the console. "Okay Ti-Ti, I want you to fire individualized shots while a friendly (Blue) Tank is in the field, do NOT attack the friendly, got that?" She commanded in a sweet tone before giggling.

"Professor Mimi, perhaps you're having too much fun?" Came Ayase Shino's voice. As Mimi's other Lab Assistant, the younger yet brilliant Shino usually chimed in when the 'Professor' became over excited. "Remember, we don't know how the subject will react when in a combat environment. Sure, he can register the colors but I think he needs proper combat experience to know enemy from ally." She added. Shino was observing the scene from the lab 500 feet below this area, right next to the hanger with coffee and doughnuts. Still, to hear Maemi enthusiastic over her latest 'baby' was endearing and hilarious to watch; especially for poor Riley, who was the young man assaulted by Maemi in the tower with her every step of the way.

Pausing, Maemi turned her attention briefly to the switch board which Ayase Shino's voice was emanating from. "Pff," she scoffed arrogantly. "'Too much fun'? Perish the thought, one can never have too much fun!" She folded her arms under her bust and with her right had adjusted her glasses a bit. "But I do suppose you are correct. Hmm... Ms. Shino, gear up and prepare to mount the Experimental X-1 'Amadeus'* loaded with 'stun charges' and Neutralization Rounds so that Tie-Tie isn't damaged. Since you are sure he needs combat training, may as well give him a live test then. Besides, the X-1 needs some field data as well. I expect you to be up here in 45 minutes dear, over and out." She said, cutting off communications with the lab.

She then lifts the megaphone and speaks clearly into it for Tylos to hear, much to Riley's chagrin: "Ti-Ti, I rescind my previous order, stand down till further instruction!" she ordered the beast.

She then lifts the megaphone and speaks clearly into it for Tylos to hear, much to Riley's chagrin: "Ti-Ti, I rescind my previous order, stand down till further instruction!" she ordered the beast.

The large creature snarled, readying his attack when the blue haired woman's voice radiated out once more, telling him to seize his attack. Upon her command, the large beast halted his attack, and closed it's red eyes with a heavy growl that was almost a sigh. Something in the atmosphere felt unsettling, but despite such remained inactive till he would be commanded otherwise.

Shino almost spat out her coffee by the Professor's demands, gulping the piping hot fluid followed by a hoarse coughing fit that followed. Flushed, she tried speaking out but was promptly cut from the transmission before she had the chance to. "Hahhh.... well this blows. When Professor Mimi wants things accomplished, there isn't any way to change her mind." she says to herself, and then promptly rolled her way to the suiting chamber. Slipping out of her everyday clothes, Ayase thought of the rising demonic threat these days, and found it ironic that they were attempting to solve some of these problems with Tylos. "The world needs strong and handsome Devil Hunters, thats what we truly need. Dang, I wish I could be like them. They're so cool, not that I've met one before. If things work out, perhaps we may be able to land a civilian deal and I'll get my chance to meet one in person!" She giggled at the thought. "Pff, as if." she continued to giggle, flushed pink as she then suited up proper and made her way to the Hanger where the X-1 was being housed:



The X-1 was armed with a rotary laser on the left shoulder, and carried a 110mm plasma cannon and dual fed auto cannons on the right arm. The left arm had a grasping hand, and the free floating cockpit was housed in the chest region. The giant robot was powered with current existing technology, as well as Shino's personal VOID-EnD13 technology she had been working on for the past three years. She had many test flights and combat exercises with the vehicle, and for the most part the X1 'Amadeus' was ready for official ADN Military use. The only problem was 'funding' and the VOID-EnD13 was still not 'bug free' at current. Suited in her crimson red skin tight bodysuit, Ayase climbed took the lift to the X1's chest piece and slipped herself behind the controls. Dawning on her HUD helmet, she closed the cockpit doors and did a systems check. With everything operational, the hangers platform began to rise, and take Ayase within the X1 with it. Alarms blared, and yellow lights flashed and spun as the lift began to move upwards. The roof began to split open, sliding back on ball bearing wheels as it's jagged teeth yawned open and let sand from the 'wastes above to pour down between them. Soon, Ayase was above ground. "X1 Pilot: Shino, Ayase; ready for combat training exercise. All systems green." She said in the momentary darkness.

Then, the cockpit began to glow blue with the power from the VOID device, and lift the capsule she was inside. Free floating, and hovering in place, the cockpit's walls around her began to light up with outside displays, giving her a 360 degree perspective of the battlefield outside the X1. Licking her upper lip, Ayase slid her hands and feet into their proper places, activating the machine.

Outside, the giant robot began to flex, and move it's large well oiled parts. The robot was 20 or so feet taller than Tylos was, and Shino wasn't very intimidated. The X1's armor was far more reacting and durable than the tanks which he destroyed. Smiling, she spoke through the speaker function which boomed outside the X1's frame as she spoke: "All right! Give me a challenge, Professor Mimi!" Shino was excited and rather upbeat, holding her right arm up, letting the dual autocannons beneath the heavy plasma cannon to rattle with it's 'neutralizing load'; not that it would keep a human from being pulverized into red mist if it hit them. The shoulder laser pivoted, and twitched, scanning Tylos as a threat. It was set to a weak and stun functioning setting, so it wouldn't harm Tylos or any other personnel as well. "Bring it!" she added, manipulating the robot's left hand and flexing her left hand fingers into a tight then relaxed grip.

Maemi chuckled, patching into the X1 via the switchboard. "You may be confident now, but your demeanor will soon change Ms. Shino." she says with a devious tone, before calling out with the megaphone:

"Ti-Ti, listen up! Your new order is to disable all enemy troops while assisting allied forces with minimal allied casualties. Allied forces will appear 'blue' on your radar, and enemy forces will appear as red. You are not to destroy the X1 'Amadeus', but instead disable it without killing the pilot! Ms. Shino, deactivate your Plasma Cannon, that weapon is far too dangerous to use while in this exorcise. When you are ready, you may both begin!" Maemi expressed. Meanwhile, the AI controlled tanks began moving across the battle field, blue tanks rolling alongside Tylos, while desert colored ones with red marking assisted Shino. Each side was firing blanks at one another to give the impression of battle during this 'mock battle'.

Tylos registers the commands and adjusts his sight, eyes glowing and picks up the enemy combatants. Eight red triangles appear on his over head radar, and they glow 'red' in his vision. There was also a larger machine, the X1, which he was ordered not to obliterate but simply disable. Acknowledging his master's requests, the beast let out a tremendous roar and began to move quickly towards the enemy tanks and the X1. Leaping high, he covered the distance quickly and took three of the enemy tanks at once: one being crushed by his left foot, and the other two were grabbed by his claws and then lifted before being swung into one another, causing them to explode with ferocity and malice; raining shards of screaming metal and scrap all over. He rears his head back, and begins a charged up Ion blast like before to deal with the next group of enemies!

Surprised that the beast didn't immediately come for her, Ayase piloted the bipedal machine towards it's left flank, levelling the dual auto cannons at the enemy tanks and shot at them. "Tsk. This big dinosaur isn't much of a threat." she thought, disabling two of the tanks with her cannons before she ran up to one of the blue tanks, and field goal kicked it at Ti-Ti's scaly back, causing it to erupt with a powerful explosion. "Hey, Tie-Tie, how about a piece of me?" she called out with a taunting tone, her shoulder laser shooting a light green beam at his neck and face, to further grab his attention. The beam in this setting was designed to numb muscles and lock joints up; giving one the feeling that their limb is 'asleep', before one would loose feeling altogether. The length of time it would be till everything became active again was generally 45 minutes, so it was temporary, and it wouldn't stop organs from functioning. She had been stun by this very laser on accident three months ago, and it wasn't exactly a pleasant experience, but she lived.

((OOC: OKAY everyone! Lets meet up again in a few hours after a small break for sleep deprived minds xD I wouldn't want to keep us from playing at our best! ))

The massive lizard hunched forward with the explosion of shrapnel running down it's back. It snapped it's attention towards the giant robot with a guttural snarl. It turned it's eyes towards a mindless enemy tank, and manipulated it's prehensile tail around it before swinging it out towards the robot when the numbing laser struck it's face. "ERRooahhh!" he whined, feeling a sagging sensation in it's facial area. It fell back momentarily, letting go of the enemy tank which still flung towards the X1 at a great deal of speed. After taking a moment to assess his enemy, it recharges it's Ion Blast and then expels it in a wide arc across the area the X1 was positioned, giving it little quarter.

Ayase figured much of a reaction, having studied Tylos so closely. She ducked the X1, letting the tank fly past her, sending up sparks as it rolled off her machine's back, and then raised the dual guns of her right hand and fired at the beast's body. It was soon as the tank hit the sand dunes behind her, she noted the Ion Blast, and sprung forward, lifting one of the enemy tanks to use a shield. She rolled forward dropping to one knee and continued her assault with her right arm weapon again.

Maemi watched on, unflinching as the tanks exploded one after another. She was half expecting Shino to start using her own allies as tools against Tylos in this battle, but so far was entertained. Data received from Tylos's eyes indicated every move he was going to make, but she was sure Shino wasn't tapping into the switchboards console. "Elevate Tylo's B12 and epinephrine levels to cope with the loss of nerve function." she states to Riley who does as she bids, while she stares out at the fight occurring before them.

The monster growled, pummeled with the neutralization rounds, back stepping as the rounds flattened against his scales and fell to the sandy earth. Then, it felt a surge of energy, it's eye's gleaming red as it swung it's body around, letting the autocannon's rounds slam against it's spiny back. The coppery spines began to glow, and then all at once became the brightest thing in front of the robot and the observation towers. After using Lens Flare, and surely blinding his target, the creature swerved around to face the robot, and charged the robot with a tremendous roar! It leaped towards the X1 as it got into range, raising one of its claws high and swiped down upon the metal foe with it's razor sharp claws.

Thankfully aware of Tylos's skills having been a lab assistant for Professor Mimi for the last three years, Shino swivelled the cockpit around before the Lens Flare set off and filled the screens behind her with intense white light. Once it dissipated, she swivelled her cockpit back around in time to register the enemy was in the air above her, preparing a downward strike! At first motionless, allowing her enemy to get that much closer to her, she positioned the shoulder mounted laser to angle up at the beast as it descended, shooting it's neck and upper chest with the 'stunning' laser. "Nice try, Scales!" she exclaims, grasping it's right claw with the X1's left arm, and as she was throwing the heavy beast over her shoulder like a martial artist would with their own body, she leveled the right arms dual cannons to Tylo's chest and fired point blank with the neutralization rounds in burst fire mode. After a few seconds of such close range fire she continued with her throw, causing the massive beast to land on its back in the sand. Following up, (showing little quarter herself), she slammed her left leg onto the creatures neck, pinning it into the soft sand, and levelled her right arm at its chest. "Bitch'in" she says, unloading the neutralization rounds at its chest. Shino didn't think Tylos was truly giving his all, but she tried not being too overly confident, but as it was she was kicking his ass!

Maemi scowled, biting down on the end of her pen as she watched on with mixed emotions. She scribbled down on one page on her clip board how the X1 maneuverability had increased well with the latest update drivers and the inclusion of the VOID-EnD13's cockpit control. Ms. Shino was operating the machine like a pro, and for good reason-she was partly responsible for designing it. All the while, she was beginning to lose her patience for Tylos. She activated the comms in Shino's cockpit and spoke: "Tone it down a tad, Ms. Shino. We are not going to get much data if Tylos is crippled. Remember, the X1 is still in the 'Experimental Phase', you don't want to over do it and cause a system malfunction."

She looked at the battle field and there were still 4 'Red' Tanks and '4' Blue Tanks still in the field, and it was a battle between Ms. Shino and Taylos. Maemi looked out to Tylos with a cold look, not exactly proud to see her latest baby project not exactly working up to par. Given this current situation, I don't exactly consider this 'fair' though. What possibility can occur where he'd face off against an Armored Biped like the X1? Its the first an only of its kind currently, a black project. Hmm... she thought, chewing at the end of the pen again. She muted her conversation with Shino and spoke up: "Riley, remove Tylos's restrictions temporarily." she says in a cold, neutral tone.

Riley turned, in shock. "B-but mam! If we remove his restrictions, he'll be an unchained threat! You'll be putting Ms. Shino's life at risk, as well as our own lives!"

Maemi's glassed glinted as she adjusted them, obscuring her cold gaze at the two out there. "We will be fine. I'm not saying remove the safety perimeters, just disable his restrictions for a temporary window of time. As for Ms. Shino, she is a capable woman, she'll be fine." she says blandly.

Riley furrows his brows and raises his voice. "I didn't sign up for this mad science, Doctor! Any sizable window with that beast unrestrained is too much of a risk! The probabilities-"

Maemi turned to him sharply, her right eye exposed from behind the once glinting glass of her glasses while the left was still obscured. "-this isn't 'Mad Science' Mr. Thornton, this is progress. You signed up to the Research and Development section of the A.D.N., you took this path. If you want out, fine. You can be dismissed after the study has concluded for the day. But till then, you are to do as I say, or I will have you stripped of your credentials and credibility before you make your way to Beijio City. Now, disable his restrictions or I will do it myself, and you'll find yourself on the street." she said in a venomous, cruel but low tone, never raising her voice. Riley just sat there for a moment, sweating with anxiety welling in his gut. He slowly turned his head to the console, running a shaky hand through his hair before shakily removing Tylo's restrictions settings. "You're going to kill us all..." he answered, softly, and with fear.

Maemi didn't say a word, and returned her attention to the battle raging outside. If Tylos couldn't get an edge now, then he wasn't worth Maemi's expectations, nor time.

Despite the nerve function regenerating from the induced levels of B12 and the extra potential given by increased adrenaline, Tylos was suffering from the multiple wounds off set by his attackers cannons. It writhed and growled as bullet after bullet slammed into his scaly hide. He continued to writhe, looking at the blue haired woman behind the control tower window, noticing her cold glare. Feeling a wave of emotions he could not understand, he turned his red glare upon the robot who's leg was upon his throat. He dug his claws into the leg, scraping deep gouges into them when his body seemed to pulsate. His heart rate intensified, and his eyes became dilated as the restrictions were revoked. Fre..e?

It grabbed hold of the X1's leg, and it yawned open its mouth, a deep white glow charging in its throat. Holding down the leg, keeping it in place, it let out a close range Ion Blast into it's chest plating where Ms. Shino was piloting the X1. The blast was so intense, if Tylos was not holding down the leg, the X1 would have went flying! The creature's claws were tearing away the leg armor as it dragged back slowly, and at the end of his blast's effect, he finally let go, sending Shino and the X1 careening several hundred feet back, almost in range of the control tower!

Crushing plating that had remained in its claws, the giant steel grey beast careened, turning onto his belly before raising its towering mass on its hind legs. Seeing nothing but red, hatred and malice for this machine it let out a tremendous roar that rattled the windows of all the control towers in the vicinity and charged the X1, arms pumping, and clawed toes lifting up several feet of sand as it dead sprints straight for the X1's chassis!

Ayase felt a moment of distress when she noted the sudden change in Tylos's eyes. "What the...?" she thought, then grew anxious when the maw yawned open, spilling out tremendous light again. "Shit, another Ion Blast!" she exclaimed, trying to yank her leg back, but with the big dino's arms wrapped around it, couldn't move! "Ah SHIT!" she exclaimed, placing the X1's arms across her chest to thicken the barrier, and have the arms absorb the blast's terrifying energy. She cringed, the monitors becoming bright with the energy released from Tylo's maw and dug into her! The floating cockpit shook wildly, and the internal temperature began to increasingly rise despite her arms taking most of the blow. The left arm was over the right arm, and the right arm was shielding the chest's surface, but the internal temperature gauge was already reading 110 degrees! "Shit-shit-shit!" She screamed, several alarms blaring off with 'Warning!' in a female AI's voice, and in both the common tongue as well as Beijionese. In a last ditch effort, Ayase, input a set of commands that ejected the shielding of her X1's left leg, normally inadvised during combat situations, as such a function was usually reserved for maintenance on the plating. She felt the X1 shutter before being sent flying back, tumbling and then rolling before the X1 finally came to rest on it's left side. The glowing lights of the X1's eyes, shut down, and became dark.

The cockpit's functions shut down briefly, leaving the room dark and only lit by back up generators, and without the VOID Device active, Shino's seat SLAMMED into the left wall of the cockpit, painfully:


"Damn...it.." she sighed, wincing through the pain and heat of the elevated temperatures, sweating and flushing red within the cockpit. She raised her right arm. "Son of a bitch, clever..." she huffed, grasping the manual console, and took her HUD helmet's plug and attached it directly into the device. The main power, the fusion core, was possibly unstable due to the mass amount of heat generated from the direct contact Ion Blast, so it would take a few minutes for it to run its protocols and re-activate the X1 proper. However, she could still access the controls manually, although with limited functions, and she would have to utilize the HUD headset. Thankfully, the VOID Device ran on a tertiary power, and that should stabilize again once she accessed the manual controls.

As soon as she tapped in the HUD with the console, the X1's eyes lit up outside, and gave Shino the 1st person perspective of the X1's environment ahead of it. Warnings began piling up on Shino's left, and not only explained the obvious to her, she also was warned that the left arm's plating was in 'critical' condition, requiring immediate repair, while her 'gun' arm was still active, but moderately damaged. Her left leg was now unprotected, but it wasn't clear yet as to if it could move, the right leg was fine but in the same boat as she had yet to access the motor functions. The Fusion Core was at 25% restore mode, and if she had not removed the plating when she had, the core would have overheated and the entire area would have been one giant crater in the middle of nowhere.

As for Tylos, he was ahead of her, a great distance away; but slowly rising up. Quickly, Shino took a plug from her personal VOID Device and connected it with the Cockpit's seat, sharing power with its internal VOID Device. "Okay, lets, try this again..." she breathed, as the cock pit lit up again, and began to hover back to the center of the chamber. Hovering in place, the cockpit shifted, allowing Shino to control the arms and legs with her own, which wouldn't be possible without her personal VOID-EnD13 Device on hand. Outside, the X1 picked itself up, using it's gun arm since the left arm wasn't in any shape to take the full weight of the Armor Giant on its own. Standing on two feet, she wobbled, and tested her legs. The left felt naked, and it was, while the right was solid. Her entire left body was not suited for combat at all, and she began to wonder what had changed in Tylos's programming when she saw the charging creature!

"Fuck me!" She exclaimed, raising her right arm and in turn the X1's and pulled the double triggers on the control stick. The X1's right arm shot out several large neutralization bullets at the oncoming enemy, and Shino manually aimed at the creatures head, chest and legs with a narrow sweep! "It's fast!" She thought, needing to slow it down!

"This is enough! You're going to kill her, and us in the process!" Riley jumped, shaking as he fumbled the controls on the console. Maemi grabbed his shoulder and pulled Mr. Thornton away easily, given his shaky state. "No, watch! Ti-Ti is showing improvement! Perhaps his restriction protocols were a little too 'strict', besides, as you can see, Ms. Shino has just smartly entered 'Manual Mode' on the Amadeus. Don't you want to see her skill matched against Ti-Ti's beauty? This is a fight worth witnessing Mr. Thornton! But no worries, if things DO get out of hand, we'll re-activate Tylos's restrictions again to keep the young Ms. Shino from getting hurt, you have my word on that!" she exclaimed, smiling while the other man looked at her in pure horror. "You're...insane..." he mumbled, ass on the floor, back against the wall. He didn't sign up to build monsters, nor work for one... this was madness... pure madness!

The blasts that hit Tylos made him recoil, but only slightly, and didn't directly halt his progress to the X1. He found it odd that the machine still functioned, but with it's multiple layers of vision could sense a heat signature within the large machine, and figured it was what caused it to still move. Roaring, swinging its claws at the almost rubber like bullets, it reached out gripping the right arm with its left claws, tearing into it's plating, and pulled it forwards. Jumping onto it's right side, it dug its right claws across the left shoulder and chest area, and wrapped its menacing jaws around the X1's head. It bit deep into the 'head' and brought up it's legs, digging his hind claws into the side of the torso as well as the right leg! Grinding and twisting, clawing and tearing, stripping back plating and removing a portion of the chest piece, letting light into the torso's cockpit chamber!

Shino let out terrified cry as the creature yanked on her right arm, and obscured her vision thanks to its mouth covering the visual sensors. "Damn it, at this rate the X1's going to be scrap metal, it's like Tylos is completely different all of a sudden! This experiment is getting out of hand quickly, I'm going to have to do something quick!" her thoughts screamed. The Fusion Core restoration was only at 57%, but she needed main power to be online NOW. Suddenly, large claws tore though the chest plating, letting hot air escape the torso as well as let in light from the outside. Shino looked towards the openings, each of the hind claws were about half the size of her own body, and she couldn't help but expel a shrill scream at the sight of them! She tried reaching out to the observation deck, and explain the dire situation. "Professor Mimi, Tylos is completely unstable! Terminate the experiment! Terminate it!" she shrieked, swinging her body to shake loose the giant lizard. She daftly swung her left hand out at the beast, the fingers griped into a fist as it slammed into Tylo's face. Stumbling with the heavy load, Shino remembered the laser, but due to the steadily dire situation, shifted the weapon's settings from 'Stun' to 'Lethal'. Since she was still 'blind', she manipulated the barrel of the laser and turned it till it hit her left hand, which was on Tylo's muzzle. She withdrew her hand, and activated the laser-the light emitted from it no longer green but red as it blared into Tylo's face with the energy to melt titanium. If anything, this would hopefully remove the beast from her chassis.

Maemi and Riley listened to Ayase Shino's pleas, who was oblivious to Tylos's second wind yet. Riley Thornton stood back up and turned to address his concern once again. "Doctor, we need to activate the restrictions! Can't you hear the desperation in her voi-" he suddenly recoiled with a cringe when Maemi expressed her deepest anguish as the red laser blared into Ti-Ti's face. "My baby!! I told her to use the 'STUN' functions!" she exclaimed, when Riley grabbed her shoulders and shook her madly. "You're damn monster is going to kill her you stupid bitch! Turn him off!!" he shouted. Maemi, out of instinct slapped the man in the face, before turning her attention to the outside. "Okay, Gods, don't get your panties in a bunch!" she exclaimed, reaching over to the console and brought up the restrictions again, before speaking calmly through the mega phone: "Okay Ti-Ti, you can terminate your objectives now, this training session is now complete!" she almost sounded too sweet when she spoke those words. She turned to Riley, raised brow and folded her arms under her lovely assets. "You see? I'm not heartless, Mr. Thornton. I was fairly sure Ms. Shino was capable for this scenario, but apparently I was incorrect. Further developments are required till either X1 or my Ti-Ti can be put into the field." she says adjusting her glasses as Thornton, rubs his cheek. "By the way, you can tell the MP's to escort you on your way out. I'm sure you already know the Non-Disclosure procedures and whatnot, so good luck where ever you go next and all that." she says, turning to face the two massive forms outside the window.

Riley, shaking, and angered, turned to leave.

Tylos let out a loud growl as the laser sliced into it's face, carving out a massive and deep scar and made him let go. Stumbling back, it tore away a little more of the armor before stabilizing once more. Turning it's angry red gaze upon the machine, sensing the source within still active, acting as it's brain and heart, and wanting to snuff it out it prepared to attack again with it's Ion Blast, maw wide and glowing when everything began to 'cool down' so to speak.

"Okay Ti-Ti, you can terminate your objectives now, this training session is now complete!" followed the blue haired woman's voice as he felt everything become 'calmer' and his body slowly relaxed.

The glow in his maw vanished, and he stood still and motionless. He felt a mix of emotions again. Confusion? It was odd. And somewhere deep in his soul, the creature knew something was not right.

Ayase, free of Tylo's grasp back pedalled, right arm raised shakily. Vision returned, she could see he was planning another Ion Blast, which if it hit her in this state, she wasn't sure if she could keep it from severing the X1's limbs. "Dammit, Professor Mimi..." she mumbled, fearing her call went unheard, and was prepared to re-activate the plasma cannon when she finally saw Tylos pause and then slowly shut down. The glow in his maw vanishing, and the malice in his eyes dissipating.

"Okay Ti-Ti, you can terminate your objectives now, this training session is now complete!" came Professor Mimi's tell tale tone. Shino breathed out a sigh of relief, loosening her grip and slipped back into the seat. Feeling less threatened now, she unplugged the HUD helmet, and breathed heavily. Being thrust back by the laser, the monster had torn some more of the shielding away from the torso, and Shino could didn't need the X1's sighting to see the large beast ahead of her! It was impressive how raw its anger was to have been able to do that in the first place!

Feeling the weight and intense heat from the overheated reactor hit her full force now, Ayase leaned over the side of her chair, gasping and breathing heavily:



"...huh...huh...huh...thank...Hazoria..." she exhaled, and inhaled shallow breaths. The internal temp was quite high, and she was flushed pink from the heat given off from within. The X1 definitely needed some adjustments in the near future. But she would dwell on that when she was less exhausted.

Maemi grinned. "Well done you two, stand by for ass-" she was cut off when Riley spoke: "The hell--GODS!" his screaming tone echoing from the speaker as well as a bright light emerged from the Eastern Sky:

Edgar Holden wrote:

Yoko Hinomoto wrote:What she saw him do made her body freeze. The environment seemed to dim, and darken. It was like watching the life drain away from the land, and it gave her an eerie feeling. It was then that Yoko blinked, looking about her for the sign of the voice that told her to move, when she noticed the man channeling energy into an orb like he had against the other demons, but it was larger. More importantly, if it was what she thought it was, she was in it's direct path! "Oh Gods!" she exclaimed, wide eyed, and broke out into a full body sweat, shouldering the rifle and began running towards the man, making a dash for the cliffs and bluffs behind him. She had to run like hell, because she didn't know how long he'd be able to concentrate on such a powerful source of energy for so long!

Edgar held his position, building the energies in his hands, to the size of baseballs, then grapefruits, basketballs, and finally massive beach ball sized spheres of energy were sparking and pulsing in his hands. He held on, waiting for Yoko to get back far enough away behind him. His aura flaring almost unstably. But when Yoko dove in behind some rocky outcroppings some distance behind him and stopped moving away, he grunted and his aura flashed. Bringing his two hands together in front of him, forming a fan with his fingers, and merging the two collected spheres of energy, the crackling result was one huge ball of energy, ready for the attack.

With a roar, Edgar unleashed the largest attack he had used in 13 years. The ball, now a beam of energy crashed into the side of the Spire, and continued to grow. The intense beam of light disintegrated the spire, everything in it, and everything around it. The width of the blast grew tremendously, vapoursing furrows into the mountainsides on either side of the gorge, eventually widening until it eclipsed even the mountains in sheer size. The immense energy wave completely blasted out of the gorge and streaked into the sea. Not following the curvature of the planet, it eventually escaped the atmosphere, and streaked off into space, heading towards it's true intended destination, the great  Supergate the Horde had deployed in space. The shockwaves and shuddering earthquakes were felt planet wide, not to mention the immense size and light visibility would ensure that everyone on the planet knew something had happened here...

The charred, smoking remnants of the Guardian's Gorge were a testament to the immense devastation Ed had unleashed here, and one could only guess as to how much more damage could have been wrought had such an attack exploded on the ground, or within the atmosphere.

Once the attack had been completed. Edgar's aura faded, and he slowly descended to the smoking ground, where he fell to his knees, winded, exhausted, and breathing raggedly.

Maemi turned covering her eyes with her right arm to block the light from directly blinding her. "By Esdar's Tome, what is that?!" she exclaimed, while Riley ducked down, using the tower's walls to block the bright light. Maemi was soon knocked off her feet, landing onto Riley as the tremors that followed shook the tower. "Oof!" Maemi exclaimed, breasts smooshed against the hard floor, and her stomach over Riley's back. She thought of the light as she lay there, and thought it may have been a blast similar to a fusion core melt down or the large cannon used in Asrond 18 years ago, but what accounted for the tremors? She had to wonder...
