>Time: 8:25 AM

"Get the civilians out of here! NOW!"

>An MRD platoon trooper says to his regiment, as dozens of MRD hovercraft form a makeshift barricade around the open plaza. Downtown looks similar to Times Square in New York City - a large interconnecting network of streets, billboards, signs and various stands in-between.

"We're pinned down! Too much heavy fire!"

"Your armor's designed to withstand most firearms! What's the issue?!"

"It's not the gunfire! It's the literal fire!"

>As the MRD trooper continues to communicate with his commanding officer - another massive fireball rains down from above, around the size of a bus. The resulting immolation and pressurization of the air begins to rapidly burn away at the metal casing of the hovercraft vehicles. The smell of burning alloys slowly fills the air.

"So…do we get her?"

>Laughing slowly, Thrasher cracks his enormous knuckles as he then says:

"Don't see why not? Boss didn't say no, so-"

>In a split second, Valkyrie moves at speeds that she hasn't demonstrated before. Surprised, Thrasher can barely react as he's knocked back hundreds of feet - and driven into the ground material of the road - causing it to stagger and break apart.

"Wha-"

>Before Paramour can even blink - she's punched unconscious with a strong fist strike. The same occurs to Whipsaw, Micron and Imperia. As the Meta-Humans are knocked out, Valkyrie then says:

>High above the Spire - Aisha and Derelict continue flying around rapidly, firing blasts of concentrated matter at each other. Aisha is firing caustic metals which begin to combust in the air - with significant force and energy. The shockwave of the explosions is enough to partially weaken Derelict's air shield - but not enough to deter her.

"Nhgghhh! I'm not done yet!"

>Holding out her hand, Derelict herself moves to generate acidified solutions - creating a massive surge of acid rain that begins to fall on Aisha's own air barrier. Careful to maintain the structural integrity of her air barrier - Aisha knows that if she loses concentration for even a second - even she could be in serious trouble.

{"She's more cunning than I thought - and acid? She's willing to kill me at this point. That's dangerous, and I need to disarm her."}

>Before she can react though, Derelict rushes towards Aisha - breaking both of their barriers as they begin flying towards the ground below under their own power. As they both slam into the ground - the road beside them seemingly evaporates and dissolves into nothingness, as their bodies aren't affected in any way.

"Gyah! Damn you!'

>Aisha kicks Derelict off with a charged blast of condensed air - knocking her high into the air and sending her flying backwards.

>Blaring alarms go off in the middle of the Sanctuary City banking square. A centralized location for various local, regional and federal banking agencies. As footsteps get louder, the cause of the noises quickly barrels across the street. Running away from a bank vault and bank entrance, a group of Brigadiers continue moving quickly in the direction of their getaway van.

"Hurry the fuck up! The MRD's gonna catch us if you don't haul ass!"

"You think I don't fucking know that dipshit? Shut the fuck up and move!"

"Guys! It's already on the news! Fuckin' helicopter's tailin' us!"

>One of the Brigadiers points upward, diverting their collective attention towards the eavesdropping news helicopter. As the news crew continues covering the scene, they detail their report.

"….nd there are five members of the infamous 'Brigadier' Meta-Human gang, quickly moving away from the scene of the bank heist! They appear to be convening on a narrow street corner on the intersection of Maine and Rogers street. Potentially a getaway vehicle waiting for them! Channel 5 SCTV is continuing to pursue the criminals and will continue to provide eyewitness commentary of the situation!"

"When you said that we were going to be doing more training today, this is not what I had in mind!"

>Barreling towards the nearby door to the floors below, Arachnid narrowly misses another energy beam blast. Keeping his composure, he then says:

"Well shit. I guess it's working! The training I mean!"

>Noticing his increased reaction times, Arachnid then dives back out from under cover - firing concentrated silk bursts at the robot - specifically at weak spots designed to stiffen up its inner workings. As the robot starts to slow down, Arachnid continues firing webbing at it rapidly - causing it to completely stop moving as well.

"Not bad. Your fastest work yet."

"I've got a few more contingencies planned. Omnikron is just the first. I've got to be ready, just in case anything ever happens to us."

>Nodding, Arachnid then looks down at the mobile terminal in his jacket. After taking it out, he flips it open and begins typing on it.

After finishing the preparations, he then walks away from the work bench and slowly makes his way up - towards the large supercomputer on the upper level of the Prism.

>Once he reaches the supercomputer, he sits down in his chair and slowly removes his helmet. Shaking his head quickly, he fixes his hair somewhat, before running his hand through it - to properly style it. He then looks down at the ring on his gloved finger - faintly glowing now that he's focusing on it. The ring pulsates with a mixture of unique magical energies, as he reminisces about the past.

"…..I've come this far. There's no reason to stop now, Aiden. Don't let it all be in vain. Ever."

>Initially considering another fly through of the city to patrol it directly, Mosaic then decides against that approach. Instead, he presses a few keys on his keyboard with one of his hands - as his other hand still wraps around his helmet. Bringing up a feed, he can see thousands of small nanite "insect" drones - indistinguishable from actual insects at a glance.

"….When was the last time I just gave myself a rest? Just one night of rest…."

>Time: 2:30 PM

>Mosaic touches down in the manufacturing facility - looking around. As he sees the partial wreckage of the place in question, he stares in disbelief for a moment. Large fires explode in plumes as workers rush to evacuate the scene - not paying attention to Mosaic's sudden presence. At the same time, he then looks around for any sign of the cause - only to then realize:

"….Centurion."

>Looking at the distorted figure of a being slowly walking through the fires and towards him, Mosaic quickly makes out his form and appearance. As the figure of the costumed Meta-Human becomes more pronounced, Mosaic then scoffs as he says:

"I figured as much. The Champion clones looked a bit too much like you. Moved a like you too."

>Scratching his chin, Mosaic then says:

"Hit harder though. So I'd say they were an upgrade overall-"

>A few minutes later, Hyperia Scalar and Omnius all arrive, as Aiden finishes recounting his story to all of them - with Miranda using her telepathy to provide context from Aiden's point of view regarding his past memories.

"…Then after that, the other Aiden - or Magisterus, he just completely destroyed Faust's essence. I couldn't feel it then - but it looked like Faust was getting completely destroyed on a fundamental level. Not just physically but also mentally, spiritually and more."

>Hyperia, still focused on Faust's threats towards her, her sister, Miranda and her mother - finds herself enveloped with a quiet, but almost uncontrollable rage.

"He's lucky enough to no longer exist. That's the only thing I can say about that murderous piece of trash."

>Almost feeling his neck being crushed by her own outstretched hands, Hyperia says:

"I'd almost wish I could do the honors myself, and beat Faust to a pulp - again and again…."

>Chimera nods slowly, a similar rage building inside of him.

>Almost serving as a red constrast to Chimera's blue design, the more arcane and magic-oriented design of the armor contrasts neatly against Chimera's own futuristic armor set.

"About what I expected, not bad. You look better than you did in that grim reaper reject design."

>Once inside the cockpit, Mosaic checks to make sure that Miranda is sitting comfortably in the back seat - before placing his hand on the synaptic controls.

"………"

>To his surprise, the controls immediately respond - confirming to him that his old suit has been integrated into the current one.

"Well, that's good to know."

>He then charts a course back to Sanctuary City - taking the long way, for Miranda to talk to him.

"Well, um sir if this is about something involving the United Nations-"

>A series of lights flicker on inside of a dark and decrepit structure - deep underground. A subterranean labyrinth of crossed wires and metallic plating. Loud foot steps echo across the walls as a single figure slowly walks down the hall. As the hooded figure arrives at the nearest door, they then say:

"About fucking time I found this place."

>The figure then kicks the door down - sending it flying with immeasurable force. As they slowly walk into the large, open room, they witness a large number of pods in the room - with figures slowly hovering inside of them. Without even flinching, the figure then waves his hand - generating a massive surge of force, which is enough to rupture the containment seals and blast them open as the bodies fall out.

>Walking past the bodies, the hooded figure makes its way to single, larger pod in the back center of the room. Ripping it open, he then watches as a costumed figure falls out of the pod - coughing in pain.

"GYAH! ACK!"

>The costumed being continues rapidly coughing in air as they slowly recollect themselves.

"….The Metanium experiments. I thought the government destroyed all the remaining trace elements?!"

"Yeah but who is this guy? He's just one dude! I don't know if that's enough to just leave the city, going on a chase for him-"

>The Aurora continues flying through the air at supersonic speeds - gradually generating a massive current of air around it as the advanced vehicle maintains its trajectory and altitude. Inside of the cockpit of the vehicle, Mosaic takes his hand off of one of the tactile synaptic controls. Using that free hand, he taps a message on the dashboard of the Aurora, recording an audio message.

"Hyperia. Scalar. I'm making a trip to the Midwest. The region around Oklahoma. It's likely that Faust is going to attack the largest manufacturing facility that Archeon has - the core Complex megastructure that's used for central distribution of core infrastructure and components."

>As the Aurora continues flying in the air, he continues speaking in the recording.

"Get Omnius out here if you can, Hyperia. I know you're not on the greatest terms with him - but we're going to need the strongest psion we have to take Faust down. Rendezvous with my coordinates when I land. We'll need to hit him with everything we've got, and put him down for good this time."

>Ending the recording and sending the message through an encrypted feed, he then leans back in his seat as he sighs.

"…..He couldn't just let it go. Typical."

>The other figure, is the hooded figure from before. A long, elaborate garb covers his armored body, with his armor being more modern reinforced plating and material. A bright golden mask with skull elements covers his face - hiding his identity effectively.

"As you said, 'Faust'. The deal is made. You will continue to bring me potential servants in the form of those destitute MRD prisoners - and I will continue to utilize these….'Champions' as you have called them - to attack the Archeon corporation. Your motives elude me, but I care not for your inadequacies and resentments towards this business."

"Sure thing, princess Maeve. Besides, my catch is almost here…..I can sense him."

The blue open skies are accentuated by a cool breeze carried by the wind. The waters of the surrounding ocean seemingly push their way closer and closer to the edges of the beach sands.

>Iblis slowly picks up another rock and tosses it across the ocean. As he does so, his mind wanders back - flashes of memories rising to the mental periphery of his thoughts. Wincing, he can envision the large, grand structures of the floating lands - Thaumia in all of its architectural glory.

"Infernal saboteurs, the lot of them. I should've rendered them non-existent when I had the chance."

>Shaking his head, Iblis then flicks a large portion of his flowing black hair out of his eyes as he turns his attention back towards the small den on the edge of the beach. Thinking to himself for a moment, he then says:

{"To hell with it. I won't be a burden to my people any longer. They deserve their vengeance, even if I have to rely on humans to achieve it."}

Yet my "teacher" decided the best course of action for remedying my 'problematic characteristics' - was doing exactly what you're thinking right now. Yeah, she did all of it."

"You didn't tell anyone about it? Thoth. Pasithea. Odin. Prometheus? No one?"

"Of course I knew, Aiden. You were, and frankly still are, my pupil. My responsibility. I would've been a terrible judge of character had I not been able to discern the change in disposition of a mere sixteen year old."

>Shaking his head again, Magister pushes himself away from the table in anger as he puts a gloved hand to his head - still reeling from the weight of the revelation.

"Then all this time….You could've said something - but you didn't. You saw me there just….grappling with my feelings. My emotions. Why didn't you say something? Anything…..Why didn't you-"

"Because it made you stronger."

"….You sound like her. As careless and reckless and borderline sociopathic as her. She doesn't even care about you as a person! All she sees is a collection of structural components. Cogs in a cognitive machine. She doesn't respect you. She doesn't acknowledge you. So why in the hell would you ever take her side?"

"For the past year or two after having graduated from your training, I have seen the manner in which you carry yourself, Aiden. The formality, the almost regal nature of your appearance and body language. Your eclectic capacity for sophisticated wording. A tendency very clearly inspired by my own vernacular."

>The Titan of Knowledge and Fire then looks directly at Magister through his sunglasses.

"Much like you are with Odin - you are very clearly mirroring my behavioral patterns and appearance - in an attempt to reinvent yourself as a logician. An erudite being driven only by logic and consequence. Structure, knowledge and rationality. That is commendable - but you have been limiting yourself by the very same emotional quandary that has driven Sorceress Igestis to take…..drastic actions as you would call them."

>Magister then finally speaks.

"My connection to my emotions, and my past. Sentiment."

"That I am more than willing to concede. Whether that's because of egocentrism or a vainglorious desire for self-validation, I can't say. What I can say though - is that I achieve the intended results of my actions."

>Prometheus nods again, approvingly.

"That you do, Sorcerer Supreme. You do not require any more guidance from me, as I feel you are no longer the vulnerable teenage boy you once were - when the Crystal brought you before us. Instead, I only see a capable young man, willing to forego his own emotional sentimentality for the greater good."

>Magister nods and slowly bows his head in recognition of his teacher.

"Thank you, Prometheus."

>Rising back up, Magister takes a moment to focus - with single-minded determination on his goal. At that moment, a flurry of tomes fill the air. Hundreds, if not thousands of tomes are remotely flying around the library in a perfect configuration sequence - without any issues. As the tomes begin to form definitive flight patters in the large open room - Magister remotely wills one particular tome into his hand in the blink of an eye; grabbing it effortlessly as he looks at the title.

>Darkness covers the city like a blanket, with only the city lights illuminating anything. Despite this, the MRD Precinct is as busy as it is any other time of day.

>Various officers come and go, with the occasional criminal or civilian coming in and out of the main building. Inside, things are even more busy as the precinct's staff work hard to keep things moving as quick and smoothly as possible.

>Outside, a young man with brown hair covered nearly from head to toe in obscuring clothes squats behind a dumpster, having managed to get his way into one of the precinct's few security blind spots.

>He appears to be silently working himself up, taking a small ear-piece and putting it on. Afterwards he puts on a ski mask with a pair of sunglasses to hide his identity.

{"Let's do this."}

>The man steps out from behind the dumpster and begins quickly walking towards the building. The moment he steps into view an officer runs in front of him, and places their hand out to stop him.

"Okay. Okay I can't do it anymore. It sounds too ridiculous."

"Well how about… tomorrow then? Today is Thursday."

>Orion for a moment wonders if he should do something physical before leaving, like giving a hug. He decides against this and then starts to take a step back.

"Okay. I'll message you sometime later then. See you later Maddie."

>Just before he's reached the door he stops and turns to look at her one final time and says:

"Oh and your taste in anime still sucks. Don't think I'm changing my mind on that just because you were willing to have dinner with me."

"As for the robot sightings around the country and the rest of the criminals in the city? Jonah, compile a list of records from the MRD's database that we can use to cross reference against material production projects created by Grayson Industries. I have a feeling a lot of bad stuff was happening before Marek took control of the company - including who may be behind our robot problem here."

Internal assessments, performance indicator reports and general financial documents are then placed neatly into a manilla folder. As he does so, he checks his watch - seemingly unassuming in appearance. After denoting the dual hands pointing straight up, he then thinks to himself:

{"Good. Right on time then."}

"I cannot be the strong woman to fill the hole in your life like you seemingly want, I barely have the strength to keep my family from tearing itself apart."

"I'm not here to get anything from you. I meant that when I said it earlier at your tower - I don't care what your family is like, because I'm only interested in you as a person."

>Then at the mention of her mother's name, Aiden instinctively feels his teeth grit ever so slightly as he slowly looks away.

"….I'll admit, a part of me wants to say that your mother did some really horrible things - and she broke my dad's heart."
