>Date: April 4th, 2017
>Location: Archeon Midwestern Manufacturing Facility
>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.

"Is that really necessary?"

>Chimera shrugs:

"Maybe I'm just proud of my little cousin - seeing how much he's grown. Visual signifiers and all that."

>Scowling, Aiden then looks down at the ring and closes his eyes to focus. A wall of bright red light then envelops him - revealing his new outfit as Mosaic.

>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."

"Well. You guys can go back now. Magisterus, or I guess Magister, took care of the situation for us. I'll take the long way home - since I need time to think…."

"….If you don't mind? I'll go with him. I know you brought the Aurora to come here Aiden - and I know it seats two."

>Groaning, Mosaic then relents as he looks at Chimera.

"Hey, I know better than to get between my sister and her toy."

>Chimera salutes to Mosaic and the rest before disappearing in a flash of light.

>Thinking for a moment, Mosaic then makes a swirling gesture with his hands - causing a red light to appear. The form of the Aurora then appears above - having been transported to their location. Taking Miranda's hand, Mosaic then slowly hovers them both inside of the machine from below.

>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.

"Hello, sorry I was busy taking a call-"

>Confused for a moment, Silas takes a step back, surprised by the imposing armored figure before him.

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

"Dad, it's me."

>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.

"Hey. Hey! Grayson!"

"….After what you did, he was arrested and processed. As far as I can tell, he was subjected to the same experiment they'd later do to me."

>Mosaic raises a lens on his mask.

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

>Chase averts his eyes, a mixture of embarrassment and shame on his face as Mosaic slowly points a finger at Chase, oscillating his finger back and forth as he understands the implication.

"He's my problem, Damian. Not yours. Bastard never could help himself."

>Arachnid then webs over to the other side of the bench - hanging upside down in a "yo-yo" fashion.

"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-"

>Mosaic immediately cuts him off, as he continues tuning nanite structures and fabricates more items for his utility belt.

>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."

Her body is adorned in elaborate combat garb, medieval knight inspired with reinforced plating. She is alone, yet standing tall and commanding an aura of strength to her form.

>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."

>Faust then snorts as he says in a somewhat mocking tone of voice.

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

"This is untenable."

>A pair of small rocks tumble to the ground, near the edge of the beach sands. The large archipelago like structure - reminiscent of an island, stretches on for infinity in various directions. 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."}

"Imagine what I was thinking at the time. A 16 year old boy thrown into a massive, cosmic responsibility that he couldn't even hope to comprehend. 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."

>Magister then starts walking past Doctor, moving towards the Observatory Deck which will allow him easy access back to his universe. All the while, Doctor is walking sideways - keeping pace with him while asking him questions.

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

"Tough day, Sorcerer Supreme?"

"What are you doing here, Prometheus?"

"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."

>Silent again, Magister slowly turns his attention back towards Prometheus, stating:

"….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. 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."

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."

>Large bright flames jet out from the exhaust of a black muscle car - careening across the streets of the mega city. Trails of black tar and mud appear in the wake of the flames - rapidly bubbling into the air as the temperature rises in tandem with the flames.

"Where's he going? We're gonna run outta road at this point!"

"I don't fucking know! Where's the blockade? I ordered a passage block on Graham Street minutes ago!"

>MRD officials continue to bicker in their hovercraft, doing their best to keep pace with the mysterious black car. Seemingly incapable of matching its supernatural speed, the attack vector for the MRD is instead a blockade run at an upcoming street intersection.

"Radio them again, make sure we've got half a dozen APC units blocking the path! Reinforced like I said, given how fast the damn car is going!"

>The MRD official in the passenger seat nods and begins patching in - communicating over the official MRD frequency.

>Using the confusion of the air gust, and the subsequent knockback, she then quickly picks up a pair of office chairs with one hand each. Spinning them across their relative sides with her bare palms and at surprising speeds. She then lobs a chair each - at 2 of the remaining Infiltrators, knocking them into nearby desks and knocking them out cold.

>The final Infiltrator, their leader, looks on in nervousness. Brandishing his sword, which seemingly glows with magical energy, he then says:

"Stay back! This is a sword of magical fire! It can render your flesh burned beyond repair-"

"I don't care."

>Walking forward, seemingly without any care in the world, the woman narrows her eyes at the hooded magician - daring him to make a move.

"S-Stay back! I mean it! I will destroy you if you do not give me the artifact I have come here to obtain-"

"Gee, I don't have magic, instantaneous teleportation techniques - and instead have to fly around like most demigods have to. What do you think?"

{"Still don't see why we can't just make it the faster way. Kitchen items exist, Sun."}

>Walking back inside of the structure, and into the interior lobby - Sua quickly finds her way to the kitchen area. As she arrives, she tosses fruits at her older brother - who catches the bucket with one hand, while attending to some bananas that he's chopping.

"Nice catch."

"Your sarcasm is noted."

>Sighing and rolling her eyes, Sua then takes a seat at the kitchen table - taking a moment to inspect the interior. As Sua observes the somewhat futuristic design, the irony of Sun's cooking approach is not lost on her.

>Sun continues eating his sushi with his chopsticks. After finishing his next bite, he then retorts:

"He didn't seem to be in such a problematic state after I defeated him. Hayden was just….unlucky, but I do think he can do some good."

>Sua stares at Sun in disbelief for a moment, flicking her own chopsticks down into her food like miniature spears - before chastising her brother even further.

"Now he's got the power of a literal demon, hellfire and all - and you're just assuming he's gonna go to the MRD and turn himself in? What if he's not a Meta-Human and his Meta-Gene doesn't show up in the scans because of it? What do you think happens to him then? Straight to the Wedge!"

>Sua then examines the scripture, written in various different prominent languages across the world.

"….Crane, Tiger, Leopard, Dragon, Snake and Monkey. A few more names….Most of these are defunct, but some of them, like ours still remain. Good to know Monkey's still on top, right?"

>Sua gives Sun a satisfied smile, as Sun rubs his eyelids in annoyance.

"….Focus, Sua. We're going to need to schedule a meeting with the heads of the Ki masters. See if any of them are willing to help us."

>Sua flicks a piece of sushi into her mouth after finishing a banana slice, looking at the scripture.

"Hurry the fuck up! We're lagging behind!"

>The hooded Brigadier, looking behind the group, then replies:

"Shut up! Keep quiet or they're gonna find us!"

>The Brigadiers continue moving, their boots upending the puddles of water underneath their feet.

>After a few minutes, they round a nearby passageway - ending up at a large, abandoned warehouse. Sighing, the 5 Brigadiers all look at each other as they enter through a broken gate on the side of the warehouse.
