I say "Suit, activate protocol kamikaze." with that said the suit begins to beep.

Panther says "What did you just do?"

I say "I just activated the suits self-destruct system, in less then five minutes it'll blow... and there's no way to stop it." with a smile.

Panther says "You would destroy your best advantage?! Your even more crazy then I thought."

I say "Some great things happened in human history because of crazy things, but now... let's dance, clocks ticking." and I tap the second to bottom switch on my weapon.

Panther gets into a charging stance, a stronger hum begins to come from his sword as it seems time has stopped and all other sounds have become bleached out. A dark grin crosses Panther's face, I sharply inhale, Panther takes a step forward, my finger tightly clutches the trigger, he takes a second step as my gun steadies and with his third the pistol unleashes it's contained fury, it's laser fire in the color of fresh blood with a petrifying scream, rather then being a focused beam, thanks to the different firing modes I have installed the energy is instead released like a flamethrower, Panther becomes surprised, the energy that hits him sears through his suit, Panther jumps to the side and crashes into the floor. His abdomen and lower left are burning as third and forth degree burns become too apparent as he screams in deep pain. I fire the pistol again, it's spewing energy consuming his right arm almost completely, destroying his suit and most of the muscle and leaving burnt bone, I quickly switch back to the weapons standard firing mode and I shoot both his right leg and left arm.

I say "Now Panther, it's my turn!" and I pull out a fold-able knife.

Panther says "Are you going to eat one of my eyes?"

I say "No! You see we humans prefer more lasting trophies...", I get down in front of him, I holster my pistol and I say "I'm taking a tooth!"

I smash the side of his head with a hard punch, I hold his head up and begin to cut out his upper right fang, I manage to get his tooth out as Panther gags and I put the tooth in one of my secure pockets.

Panther says "Tell me human what do you gain from this?!"

I say "Pay back!", the suit begins to beep faster and louder and I say "And that's my cue to leave." as I grab my case.

Panther says "You'll fail human! Even without the shield this station will still stand and saving your race will prove pointless!"

I say "Everything has a purpose Panther, every action has it's reaction. When Earth was lost it only made us stronger in the end and that's another thing about us that makes us dangerous the will to get even, in other words revenge! And I know just how to do it, it's too bad you won't live to see it.", I quickly open the case, I take out what's in it, a powerful axe, it's haft is two feet long, it's head made of multiple parts, it's the Cleaver of Malice and I say "Yippee ki-yay!" as I begin to leave the room.

Panther says "You will fail!"

I leave the room, I begin to head down the hall and the awaited explosion of my suit comes, the sheer heat of the plasma can be felt very easily as the suit was essentially always on overload, I can hear faint foot steps up ahead, I get to cover and ready myself for a fight, the foot steps begin to get louder and louder until they stop at the corner of the hall infront of me and I say "Thunder!?"

I hear "Flash, it's Fox and Krystal." and the both of them come around the corner.

Fox says "Nice work Adam, you did good."

I nod and I say "Thanks Fox."

Krystal gasps, she comes over to me, she says "Adam, how bad is it?" and she covers where the knife hit me.

I say "I think it looks worse then it is, I'll be okay." with a light smile.

Fox says "Have you run into Panther?"

I smile, I pull out Panther's tooth and I say "I did, he's been terminated."

The two foxes look to the tooth in shock, I guess they weren't expecting this or I guess the fact that I took one of his teeth.

I put the tooth back in my pocket and I say "I found a map earlier, I remember the way to the bridge, we need to take that out."

Fox says "W-We were about to head that way."

Krystal says "And we found out something interesting, the enemy fighters out there are very advanced drones."

I say "There is a room dedicated to drone control."

Fox says "We already tried to shut down the drones, they have them protecting the drone system with small tanks and heavily equipped combat robots with turret support."

I say "So to win, we need to take out who's in command and to do that..."

Fox says "We need to take out the bridge, more specifically Oikonny."

Krystal says "There's going to be a lot of resistance between here and there and our fleet is barely hanging in there."

I say "Then we better hurry!"

Fox says "Are you sure you can fight?"

I say "Trust me, I'm still capable." with a light smile.

Fox says "Very well, keep it tight."

The three of us begin to move down the hall, we catch a glimpse out the window and that's when we realise how long it may take to get to the bridge.

I say "This won't work, we need to find a faster way."

Fox says "There must be a rapid transit system, stations like this usually have one."

I look around, I see another info console, I move up to it and begin to look through it.

Fox says "Anything?"

I say "There's a transit just up ahead, for safety sake we should assume that some soldiers are kicking around."

We head over to where the transit is but surprisingly no soldiers, which means they either don't know where we are or they are posted at some battle stations. The transit car looks to be a type of shuttle, we step in and begin to prep for launch, Fox sets the guidance system while Krystal begins to patch me up.

Krystal says "It barely missed your right lung, your lucky to be alive." with a teasing smile.

I say "Could be worse." with a light smile.

Krystal dabs my wound with some medical alchohol causing me to gasp and clench my teeth, she applies some gauze and sticks on some first aide tape.

Fox says "Launching!"

I feel the transit shuttle rattle as it launches, I double check my weapons and they seem to be fine, even though my axe kind of an after thought, I look up and I say "Think they're expecting us?"

Krystal says "There's too much confusion, they aren't aware of us."

Fox comes over to us and he says "I've set the transit to get us as close to the bridge as possible."

I set my sidearm to fully automatic and I say "Finally, this war will be over."

Fox nods and he says "Yes, here we'll topple the king."

Krystal says "Fox, I think we should try to put down the Venom's permanently, this is the third war in a very short span of time, nothing we've done seems to phase them."

Fox says "I agree but what can we do? We don't have anything for siege warfare in our arsenal."

I say "I think I know a way."

The two look at me and Fox says "What is it?"

I say "We set this thing on overload and have it crash into Venom, that'll send a clear message."

Fox says "We don't know what'll come from that!"

I say "Look outside Fox, we're losing!"

Krystal says "Adam's right, we've gotten a few lucky hits in but we're overall being crushed!"

I say "And with the tech they've showed here like the mass produced G-diffusion units and that shield, who knows what they'll come up with if there's a fourth war?! And I've gone over the numbers with Slippy beofre we learned what we have in this battle, if we fail here or they come back with numbers they have, it would be a nightmare scenario!"

Fox looks outside with a look of examination, he looks back at us and he says "The both of you are correct, we have to devastate them at this point."

I say "Why weren't they disarmed any of the previous times?"

Fox says "The Cornerian higher up thought the Venom's would learn their lesson sort of speak."

I say "A lot of good that did."

The transit shuttle rattles, the door opens and we step out, slowly we make our way down the halls, striking down security forces and soldiers that get in our way, soon we come to a great blast door and the nearby console is destroyed.

Fox says "Dead end!"

Krystal says "Looks like we need to find another way."

I hit the bottom switch of my pistol, I aim it at the center of the door where the locking systems core is and fire, the white beam smashes into the door, melting through the door as clanking can be heard inside the door, I shoot the side locks and the door opens.

Fox says "That's... one way to do it."

I switch my sidearm to full automatic and I say "What can I say? I love multi-tools." with a light smile.

Fox says "The bridge is just up ahead."

Krystal says "Let's end this!"

I activate my axe and I say "Let's ice this guy!"
