"Shh!"

>A man whispers to those around him, as they continue to try and sneak their way through the wreckages littering the street. Burning metal fills the air with a noxious smell - causing some people to become queasy and sick.

>As the man continues to sneak by the wreckage, using the burned cars as cover - his followers nervously tremble as they continue to move alongside him.

"I'll get you out of here, I swear."

>Loud footsteps can be heard in the distance, as sparks of bright light go off around them. Unable to see, the man and his followers can only watch as loud yelps of pain echo through the air. The loudness of the screams being apparent - even amidst the dense fog of fire and burning material.

"Just stay close to me, guys. We're almost there."

"So besides Board of Directors voting candidates, we're going to need to authorize share buybacks if you want to keep your good businessman image."

"I don't understand why someone wouldn't just come up to my office if they need to see me. The open ended nature of the company is public knowledge."

>Phoebe shakes her head:

"I'm not doubting his capabilities. I'm doubting your decision to just let him handle everything. He's capable, yes Aiden. But he's not invulnerable."

>Hands still in his pockets, Aiden then walks forward as he then notices a lone man with blonde hair standing in the parking lot's entrance.

>A woman with blonde hair slowly practices her breathing techniques - with a flickering radiance of multi-color lights softly manifesting around her body.

{"Good. That'll help me maintain my efficiency with mana."}

>Through instinct, the blonde woman quickly cycles through a series of arcane hand gestures with both hands, not even looking at the gestures. Thousands of years of experience course through her motor neurons - guiding the dexterous motions of her fingers and thumbs.

>Larger emanations of magical lights begin to ripple from the space between her hands as she continues making the gestures - moving faster over time.

A large concentric circle network of small settlements and buildings comprises the large structure. The simulated archipelago regularly sees little activity, as resources and building materials are airlifted into the base - using discreet methods.

>As another submersible shipment slowly rises from the waters of the Atlantic Ocean - the crew on the docking station slowly walk towards them, ready to greet their new arrivals.

"Is the material here? We're on a tight schedule, agents."

>One of the research scientists looks impatient, as a figure in reinforced armor slowly exits from the submersible's exterior. Carrying with them a large black canister with glowing wiring - the armored figure looks down at it for a moment.

"We're well aware, doctor. Now if you'll excuse us, we have a command center to report to."

>The armored figure is one of Eukaryon's - utilizing magical equipment to reinforce their strength and general power. Behind the figure are two more figures slowly flanking them.

"Are you finished?"

>Aiden then moves forward - flying in the air at incalculable speeds as he rushes to meet the impossibly large celestial object - as it barrels towards him.

>Catching the star with one finger, he then makes a single tapping motion with his hand - as bright red light courses through the star, exploding it in the biggest explosion ever seen.

"What the-"

>Before he can react, Ethan is suddenly kicked to the ground with such force, that his body begins slowly disintegrating. The sheer force of the attack is enough to weaken Ethan's body, and cause him to slowly destabilize over time.

>As Aiden now stands before him, hands still in his jacket pockets, he places a boot on Ethan's chest to keep him from moving.

"People can surprise you, Suisei. You just have to get to know them."

"…..I believe that would make me very happy, yes."

>The car, a Lamborghini, continues driving down the streets at a brisk pace. While doing so, the car's driver looks over at his rear view mirror - seeing a series of MRD vehicles driving behind him.

>Raising an eyebrow behind his sunglasses, the figure then says:

"Someone's in a hurry."

>As the MRD vehicles rush past his own car, the driver then presses a button on his car's dashboard. Seemingly out of nowhere, the car then begins to pick up the MRD's private frequencies - as a MRD trooper says:
