/Location: Unknown planet/
A shuttle flies through the sky of the unknown world before it approaches a giant installation before it touches down on a landing platform before a ramp lowers to the ground and walking out with Victor wearing his helmet and Jayden wearing his Mandalorian armor.
"Whatever is here wants to see us so we shouldn't be rude." Stratos says taking the lead where they all make their way through the facility before they reach a large door that was grey and blue with a single red hologram in front of them with several alien glyphs.
"Whatever we are looking for is through this door." Will says as he looks behind the group to make sure that they weren't being followed or so they wouldn't be ambushed.
Stratos approaches the glyphs before he winces in pain as another vision shoots through his head but when it vanishes he touches the center glyph and the hologram vanishes before they hear a sound coming from the door.
All four step back as they watch the door move around with each piece sliding out of place before the last piece slides down and they see a large room with a single tower with a hollow center. The group walks through the door but when Will walks through last the pieces slide back into place showing that the door was closing before the last piece slides into place shutting the door before a hologram appears only for the glyphs to instead of glowing red they were a static maroon meaning that it was locked.
They turn from the door and walk on a catwalk towards the tower before they walk onto a platform but when they door the catwalk pulls back so that they wouldn't run to the door but then the platform shoot and then they look around to see containers lifting before the containers explode and inside were squids with cybernetic arms and legs while a robotic helmet covered their heads. There were three different types of squids from what they can see. There was a short one that looked to be leaning forward with a strange menacing looking helmet with two arms that had what looked like guns and blades attached to said arms while the second was much taller than the first and was armed with only a rifle while the last one was larger than the other three and it was armed with what they can only guess was a machine gun in its right arm and a cannon in its left arm. What they all had in common was the blue glowing lights on their helmets while they're bodies were colored a darkish blue before to their surprise 4 of the smaller forms came from an unknown stealth system but instead of blue they're skin color was pitch black while their helmets looked different and instead of glowing blue they were glowing pure white.
"We are going to die -" Will says but before he could finish he winces due to Alpha yelling into his communicator yelling "AND DON'T YOU DARE SAY IT WILL BE ALL MY FAULT!"
The ground shook before they see a metal form move around the tower before a head moves upward and to their surprise they see the same mechanical worm or snake creature from their visions.
"What the hell is all of this?" Stratos asks surprised before they hear the mechanical creature in front of them say "We are the Ceph and I am the Alpha Ceph."
"Why did you call us here?" Stratos asks walking forward.
"You are here because we believe you can stop the chaos." The Alpha Ceph says staring all 4 of them down.
"Stop the chaos?" Will asks confused as he looks around.
The Alpha Ceph lowers itself so that it was at their height before it says "When you arrived I saw your memories and I have seen the horror you fought and saved not only two universes but many more had those creatures found a rift that lead to the others and we believe you may be the ones we have been looking for to end this conflict that not only has engulfed this galaxy but my species."
"What like your kind are in a civil war?" Will asks looking into the creatures glowing eyes before plates move around to show dark blue skin that glowed before the glow became so bright they covered their eyes until they found themselves in an open ocean without dive suits.
"Our world didn't exist here. Our world one existed in a universe where all was peaceful. The Ceph was one of the three heads of an alliance called the Universal Allied Republic." The Alpha Ceph says before it showed a different universe where they see ships of different makes and modules with some having a Ceph appearance and everyone was moving around peacefully. "The UAR had many species but we watched a single race as it grew and we believed that they may evolve into a smart and strong species. My kin: The Ceph was ruled by 6 Alpha Cephs, me included. The Ceph was still split due to some issues with the other Ceph nations but it was agreed where 10 Alpha Cephs would lead our kind through peace and war no matter the cost. The different nations were called the Colpols, Vectorial, Sectoriam, Anarsist, Fedistra, Mochoria, Zectora, Taloran, Greenoda, and Voctastial. Each Alpha Ceph controlled one of these nations but then something terrible happened. The Voctastial's Alpha Ceph did something that split our empire in half… they extinguished the lives of an entire species. The Vectorial, Fedistra, Zectora, Colpols, Taloran, and my nation the Sectoriam demanded an answer from the Voctastial Alpha but then he and the other Alpha Ceph revealed that they were planning an universal domination and they almost destroyed us had we not escaped but the war broke out and we fought one another."
Shows the Ceph home world as it was peaceful before it showed the planet the Voctastial's attacked with the surface burning orange before it shows Ceph fighting each other before the Alpha Ceph continues saying "But during one of the many conflicts the Greenoda did something that the Ceph would never do and not even the other nations would do… they committed every single Ceph into a single hive mind like an ant hive to you four." Shows The Greenoda Ceph (Look exactly like the Ceph from Crysis 3) before streams of red energy form in every Ceph form and connect to the Alpha Ceph.
"The other nations agreed on a single thing and sent that Alpha Ceph into exile before he and his nation vanished but we didn't know that he landed on that Earth until after our enemy destroyed the UAR and left only the Ceph and the still in our mind primitive humans before we all found that the Greenoda invaded Earth and to our surprise you humans survived and won each conflict multiple times until one of your own: The one known as "Prophet" Killed the Greenoda Alpha Ceph with a primitive weapon that we considered to be useless and then we saw him single handedly destroy the Greenoda's entire nation which was stationed on that ship he destroyed which gave me and my allies the relief of not facing him before we found something that made us horrified… they found a way to travel universes and they planned to travel to different universes planting themselves in cryo stasis and they were mostly successful but thankfully we were able to send our own but we were split off." Shows The Greenoda Alpha Ceph getting shot by an explosive arrow before dying and shows the Greenoda warship explode. (Think about the boss battle and ending of Crysis 3)
"We do not know where our remaining comrades are or where our enemy is but we have been slowly growing and when you came I decided to see if you fought our enemy and we saw your past. We saw the pain you all went through. The RFM war, the creation of ORCA, the first Marker incident, the Titan Station Massacre, the New Horizon incident, the battle of Tau Volantis, and the Brethren Moon war which all lead to this moment where you came to this universe." Said the Alpha Ceph surprising the group before it lifts its head as Stratos says "But why exactly did you call us here?"
The Alpha Ceph rears its head back looking at the group while Alpha stood on Stratos's shoulder before the Alpha said something that surprised them. "We want your help and in return I offer the aid of the Sectoriam nation."

Title: Dimensional Gundam episode 2: Against the rising darkness
/Location: Imperium fleet/
An Imperium fleet flew through Sith territory as mobile suits and start fighters flew past while on the flagship stood Wrath with his hands behind his back.
"So you have no idea on where she is?" Wrath asks an Imperium trooper who had a sad expression.
"That is correct sir but we heard rumors that the fleet that was protecting her would pass close to Sith territory in three weeks."
Wrath looks at the man with a raised eyebrow before he smiles and pats the man on the shoulder saying "Well done soldier but remember that if you don't have proper intelligence then it will cost you your life."
The soldier nods his head and says "And I will await your punishment for when that happens sir."
Wrath nods his head before he hears a voice say "So you plan to let him live?"
Wrath turns his head to see Gluttony leaning against a wall with his arms crossed and a murderous grin on his face.
"Why are you here Gluttony?" Wrath asks his fellow Sin.
"I just came to let you know that I will be leading an attack on the Republic world of Vena tomorrow." The man says as he had his eyes closed before they open and he looks at Wrath with pure white slitted eyes.
"So I came to let you know that." Gluttony says walking away from the Sin who narrows his eyes muttering "If I had my way with him then we'd have one less mass murderer."
/Location: Hidden ORCA fleet/
Flying through space was an ORCA fleet that contained 5 OCS battlecruisers, 12 ODV corvettes, 5 Phoenix carriers, 6 Republic Hammerhead cruisers, 3 Praetorian frigates, 8 Republic Foray blockade runners, 4 Heraklon transports, 9 Quartermaster supply carrier, and a single Inexpugnable-class tactical command ship.
On board the tactical ship in a large room sat one Nena Trinity who looked out the window as Aurek strikefighters flew past with some Alpha Flags, HOGIREs, and some S-250 Chela strikefighters.
Nena sighs in sadness as she watches the ships fly before she looks and a ship jumps into the system. The ship was a G-type light shuttle. The shuttle flew through space towards the tactical ship and Nena could see that it was colored white and red which signified Republic colors to the Sith's grey color.
"ORCA fleet this is Shuttle Tarn requesting landing permission onto the Andiron over." A voice says and Nena looked towards the console that she activated so that she could listen in on communications to and from the ship.
"This is Andiron actual to Shuttle Tarn requesting clearance codes." A female voice says and Nena knew that was Ellie who became a captain in the ORCA navy 2 years after the Brethren Moon wars when she joined ORCA after she learned what happened to every Human world the Moons attacked.
"Shuttle Tarn to Andiron actual we are transmitting codes now." The same voice says and Nena watched as the shuttle drew closer while 2 LANCELs took aim in case it was a trick.
"Andiron actual to Shuttle Tarn you are cleared proceed to hanger 2-7." The feminine voice says and the shuttle heeded the direction and flew towards the tactical ship with an escort of two Alpha Flags.
Nena stands up only to feel something bump into her leg and she looks down and smiles at seeing Haro who flaps its arms and flashes its eyes before Nena picks it up and goes to the door where she opens it to show a hallway with both Republic soldiers and ORCA troopers moving around or having a conversation.
Nena makes her way through the halls until she reaches the hanger where she sees the shuttle fly through the barrier and lands and when the ramp lowers to the ground she looks and sees 3 figures walking down the ramp. The first was Veronica who wore her uniform, David, who had his katana on his hip while a second one was strapped to his back, and the last person was Vector who wore his own uniform which they still had to admit looked like Victor's but different color scheme.
"Hey, Nena how is everything going?" Veronica asks as the group walks over to the woman.
"I'm okay but I have to ask when our next stop is?" Nena asks looking around watching as men walked around with some tired.
"The next planet is two days away so we should be fine until then." David says with a calculated look.
"Any news on the Sith and Imperium?" Nena asks and Vector nods his head saying "Since it got controlled by Malak they have been taking a much more 'Sadistic' turn against the Republic. They are now killing anyone that got in their way and are quite ruthless since then… there has been a report of a Sith fleet close by but that was just a rumor since our ships are in the exact same spot as the reports."
Nena looks out into space and says "You know I have to wonder if the others survived… would they find a way to find us?"
Everyone looks out into space before Veronica nods her head saying "They would… if they survived then they would be looking for a way to make sure that we all survive and have peaceful lives."
Nena smiles at Veronica's words before a man runs into the hanger yelling "Sir we just got a report that a Sith ship and 2 Imperium battlecruisers are attacking a supply convoy meant for us tomorrow!"
"Damn those bastards!" David growls before he turns around to see that the shuttle was already being connected to a fueling station before he turns to see a Pelican landing and he runs to it and boards it before he looks into the cockpit and yells "I want to get to the North Defender at top speed pilot!"
The pilot nods his head yelling "Yes sir!"
The ramp closes before the Pelican takes off and flies to a Phoenix carrier which was the North Defender. When the Pelican lands David runs out and makes his way passing the White Glint until he reached the bridge where he runs in to find a young man with brown hair, blue eyes, and pale skin standing in the middle of the ship. This was Captain Victor, Forecast.
"Sir what is the problem?" The young captain asks confused.
"Captain set a course for the supply convoy they are under attack!" David said knowing that if the convoy was destroyed then the hidden fleet would starve.
"Roger that." Forecast says before the carrier moves away from the fleet and its engines flash before it jumped out of the system.
The North Defender flew at a high speed through space with it also traveling through what could only be described as a blue tunnel until it entered the system where the convoy was and they see a convoy of 2 Hammerhead cruisers and 7 Foray Blockade runners fighting a losing battle against 3 enemy warships while Aurek and S-250 strikefighters flew through space either shooting at enemy fighters and mobile suits or getting attacked by enemy fighters and mobile suits.
David made his way until he reached the ready room where he put on his normal suit and makes his way to White Glint as Alpha Flags are loaded onto the catapult deck.
When David got into the cockpit he closes the hatch which activates the 360 cockpit before a screen pops up to show Forecast who says "Sir we were able to identify an Imperium ship. The ship is the Ferocious and it is under the control of an Admiral Fillip."
"What can you tell me about him?" David asks as the White Glint shakes when it is being loaded to the catapult.
"All we know is that he targets mainly targets convoys that are heading towards worlds that are close to starvation and he doesn't care if they are military, civilian, or refugee… he just attacks the convoys to watch them suffer." Forecast says with a hint of anger.
"Roger that then he is my primary target." David says as the White Glint rockets out of the catapult before he shoots down a Locust.
The North Defender flew towards the fleet opening fire with its GN beam guns and GN missiles while it charged its mega particle cannon to destroy the Sith cruiser.
The battle started to turn as the White Glint flew through the battlefield shooting down enemy mobile suits and fighters while also dodging enemy weapons fire before it sees the Ferocious and he fires a rocket which splits into many before to his surprise they crash into a shield protecting the ship.
"Damn it has a shield." David mutters flying the White Glint back boosting left and right to avoid the enemy fire.
On the bridge of the Ferocious stood Fillips as he watched the White Glint move around the bolts of energy that his ship shot.
"What is taking so long to destroy these things!?" Fillips asks with anger.
"The ORCA vessel is forcing us to engage it as well but it is also keep us at a distance from the convoy which seems to be getting to safety." A crewman says only for Fillips in his rage to pull out a pistol and shoot the man in the face where he falls on his back dead with a burning hole through his head.
"I want those ships destroyed and I don't care how it's done!" Fillips yells with rage before the crew went to doing just that.
Out in the battlefield the Imperium and Sith warships flew towards the convoy shooting their turbo lasers not caring about the damage that they were taking.
"Sir from what we can tell the mega particle cannon is still a prototype so we have to be careful on our shots." A crewman on the Defender says and Forecast nods his head saying "Remember focus on the interdictor."
The carrier flies through space and turbo lasers while firing its own weapons before it got into position and a large cannon is seen charging but when it got to a good charge it fired a large beam that surprised everyone but then their surprise grew when the beam consumed the interdictor and completely vaporized it but also the wings of the two battlecruisers.
"Okay I think we need to consider the mega particle cannon as a last resort weapon." Forecast says surprised while a crewman passed out in surprise.
"We need to downgrade this weapon." David says as he flew through the battlefield amazed at the power of the mega particle cannon before he looks at the Ferocious and aims both rockets before he shoots them straight at the vessel.
"What the fuck just happened?!" Fillips yells in a combination of both anger and fear.
"Sir I think that was a high powered beam shot from that carrier." A crewman says as he slowly stood up as sparks shot through the bridge with some getting up but most were dead either from broken bones, ruptured organs, puncture wounds or explosions.
"What's the status of the ship?" Fillips asks as he stood up.
"The right engines or completely gone and we have multiple hull breaches with our shields offline and most of our weapons are down as well." A crewman said.
"Try to get the remaining engines online and get us out of here!" Fillips yells before the missiles struck the bridge killing everyone in it while also causing the battleship to explode from different parts before it erupts into a fire ball.
The remaining battlecruiser attempted to flee only for the North Defender and the republic ships to shoot it with its shields down before it to explodes due to concentrated fire from the ships while republic fighters and ORCA mobile suits shot down the remaining Sith and Imperium forces which allowed them a time to rest.
When the White Glint returns to the North Defender he hears a message from Vector saying "You know you might want to watch how you act because it might end up killing you one of these days."
"I don't need your advice Vector." David says taking off his helmet once he put the Glint into its container.
"Don't say I didn't warn you." Vector says with his grin.
The White Glint's cockpit opens and David floats out watching as a damaged Alpha Flag floats in with its left leg and right arm damaged and part of the head severed.
The convoy continued its trip to the fleet while David got back into his uniform while thinking 'How did they find that convoy? Could they be searching for the fleet?'
/Location: Ceph world, Ceph city/
Inside the Ceph city walked the 4 Gundam meisters while being guided by 2 Ceph Grunts.
"This is actually a well maintained place." Alpha says materializing on Stratos's shoulder as he looks around and watches as Ceph moved around checking systems before a Ceph dropship flies overhead.
"We thank you for the compliment." The Grunt to the left says as they continued through the city before they arrive at a large door where once open they see what looked like a cradle from Crysis 3 and on the walls to their left were suits of what looked like armor but the armor was pitch black with some silver and a blood red visor. There were 4 suits and 4 cradles but to his confusion there were a three more containers and 3 more cradles but he put that thought aside for the moment.
"What is this place?" Will asks looking at the room.
"This is where you will be tested to see if you can really be called an ally." A Ceph Guardian says as he enters the room.
"What is it we have to do?" Stratos asks stepping forward.
"You must enter a digital zone via mental connection and win. Each of you will fight different combat conditions so you must figure out what to do together. There will be sixteen parts but two different groups. eight against Ceph and the other eight against humans. The first is stealth mission to retrieve data, second is a rescue mission where the victim is imprisoned by the Ceph or human, the third is combat against normal infantry, the fourth against armor, the fifth against air support, the sixth invading a space station, the seventh against a single Ceph Lithoship while against humans you will be against an Imperium warship, and last is to fight against an Alpha Ceph while for humans you will fight against four of the so called Seven Sins. You must do this all wearing these." The Guardian says pointing to the suits.
"What happens if we fail?" Will asks looking between the armor and the Guardian.
"If you fail then you're brain gets dosed with radiation and you die." The Guardian says making Will gulp in fear.
"Will we be doing these separately or as a team?" Victor asks crossing his arms.
"The first parts you must do it in groups of two, the second is a solo mission while the other twelve you will be fighting together. During the human part of the solo mission you will be tasked with rescuing someone important too you. Since this machine also using a mental connection via brainwaves it will insert the person you care about most be they alive or dead while the Ceph part of the solo you will save a person who isn't in this room." The Guardian says before they all go up and get suited up in the Nanosuits.
When the suits were on Alpha appears on Stratos's visor saying "Man this suit has a lot of room! Hey is that an internet connection I see!?"
"Alpha focus!" Stratos growls.
"Right sorry."
The Guardian walks in front of Stratos saying "Each Nanosuit will have different abilities do to the different skills you have but they will have the armor, cloak, and stealth as permanent settings. You also have the option of changing the color of the armor should you choose but it is only back right now because it didn't have a user."
After he said that the Nanosuits change color with Will still having black but the silver was replaced with pure white, Vector's was blue, and while but there was some red as well mixed in the armor, Jayden had a completely black armor even the silver parts were now black while the visor was dark white, and Stratos's was a white and the silver parts were now blue while the visor was also a dark white.
"Now just lay down on the device and you should enter the digital zone." The Guardian says and all 4 approach the devices and lay down on them before they feel that the suits were being magnetically controlled and strapped to the devices.
"Neural connection complete… digital zone access at seventy percent… bodily check complete… beginning stage one."
Once the voice said that they all saw white.
/Test one, Ceph base, Stratos and Victor/
The flash vanishes and both Stratos and Victor found themselves on top of a Ceph tower and they see a small portal opening before they reach in and grab different weapons. For Victor he had a silenced sniper and a silenced pistol while Stratos had a silenced shotgun and a silenced pistol.
"Stratos you go down there while I provide a bird's eye view with my suit." Victor says and Stratos nods his head before he jumps down and he notices a Ceph grunt but instead of blue it was orange.
Stratos crashes into the Ceph's back killing it before he rolls on the ground and stops holding up his shotgun seeing a single Ceph Grunt who turns around only to be met by a shotgun shell in the face blowing it off and killing it without alerting anyone.
Stratos looked around before he runs in but when he did he activates his in built cloak to sneak past a Ceph Stalker that turned the corner before he reaches a door where once open he sees a Ceph guardian accessing a terminal and he approaches it before he stops when said Guardian turns around and walks down towards him before it turns left and enters an elevator but as it did Stratos notices that in its hand was a data drive.
The elevator door closes and the Guardian ascends before Stratos contacts Victor saying "Our objective is on the move via Ceph Guardian. Moving to intercept."
"Roger that." Victor says before Stratos cuts the connection and enters an elevator where when the door closes he deactivates his cloak which started to restore his power supply.
When the elevator reached the Guardian's level the door opened but when it did he came face to face with a Ceph Grunt.
Both stood motionless before Stratos struck first and grabbed the Grunt by the neck and plunged a knife into it cutting the windpipe causing it to choke on its own blood before it died where Stratos threw it off a ledge and let it fall into a river where it took the body downstream.
Stratos ran down the hall before he stops activating his armor to see the Guardian turn the corner and Stratos followed.
"Stratos listen you may need to activate your tracker because I won't be able to have full visual if you go in too deep." Victor says and Stratos nods his head saying "Roger that, Alpha can you do that?"
"Piece of cake… done." The AI says as Stratos entered the room.
When he was in he stopped when he saw not one Guardian but four and they were looking at where he is with weapons aimed.
"Well fuck." Both Stratos and Alpha muttered once the door fully closed behind them.
The four Ceph open fire with plasma and Stratos rushed to cover activating his armor and the bolts impacted the suit only feeling like pricks before he found cover and just as the power was at 24 percent.
"Damn they have me boxed in!" Stratos growled popping out of cover firing his shotgun which struck a Guardian only for its shield to block it but not all of it because some struck its robotic limb.
"Alpha what type of enhancements does this Nanosuit have?" Stratos asks his AI.
"It has cloak, armor, speed, strength, reflex, stamina; oh hey it has an ability to make holograms!" That is what he needed to hear.
Stratos ran out of cover but when the bolts struck him the rounds went right through him and he faded slightly before vanishing.
"A hologram!" A Guardian yelled which Stratos could understand via subtitles from his HUD.
"If we use enough then they would think that you were one." Alpha says and Stratos nods his head at the idea before he sends another hologram which was shot at by the Ceph.
"What is with the holograms?"
"Now let's see." Stratos says before he runs out but before the Ceph could fire one says "Hold it this is probably another hologram."
The Ceph didn't fire and watched it run off and behind a crate.
"Man that was fast." Alpha muttered as Stratos snuck behind the Ceph until he was right behind two which he stretched his arms out before he smashed both of their heads together smashing the helmets and flattening the heads inside.
"What the hell!?" Yelled one of the Guardian's before both turned around only for one to be met with a knife in the chest while the other was met with a Shotgun inches from his face before he pulls the trigger sending bullets through the things head killing it before he removes the knife letting the body fall down.
"Alright I'm clear, going for the data now." Stratos says before he looks around until he finds what he was looking for and grabs it.
When he does he exits the room but when he did he stops seeing a Ceph devastator standing in front of him with four Grunts and four Stalkers.
"You have got to be kidding me!" Stratos growls before the Ceph open fire but Stratos activated his armor and ran to cover as the Ceph continue to fire.
"Victor I need help here." Stratos says as more energy bolts flew through the air.
"I'm on the way." Victor says before a round struck his suits arm.
"Too close!" Stratos growls before he pops out of cover firing his shotgun killing a Stalker.
"Stratos duck." Alpha yells and Stratos did that ducking under a mortar round from the Devastator that would have killed him.
"Too close!" Stratos yelled activating his armor before he went back into cover.
"Victor where are you?" Stratos asked making a pot shot taking off a leg of a Grunt.
"I'm in the elevator now and will be there shortly." Victor says and Stratos sighs in relief.
Stratos hears a stomping sound and turns before he mutters "Crap"
Standing in front of him was the Devastator before it rose one of its arms before Stratos activated his armor as the alien swung its oversized arm striking him in the chest and sending him flying and hitting the wall hard creating a crater.
The Devastator and surviving Ceph approach Stratos as he lied motionless on the ground before a Grunt grabs him by the neck and picks him up.
The Ceph stares at Stratos before a bullet shoots into his head killing him and the others spun around firing their weapons at Victor who popped out of cover quickly and fired twice with both shots killing two Stalker's before Stratos took out a grenade and primed it before he ran up the Devastator's back but it tried to shake him off only for Stratos to punch the grenade between the armor and flesh and jumps off before activating his armor as the grenade exploded killing the surviving Ceph.
"Now let's get out of here." Stratos says as Victor ran up to him and he nodded his head in agreement before both ran down the hall.
"Did you set any charges?" Stratos asked his friend.
"Yes I did and they have a lot of reactors." Victor says shaking his head before they reach a bridge where it had view of a beach in Brazil.
"You have the grappling hooks?"
"Yes I do."
Victor hands Stratos a hook and both shoot which struck a tree before the connect it to the bridge and slide down.
When they reach the beach Victor flips a switch and the entire base goes up in flames before Stratos took out the disk thinking 'Mission complete' Both men turned around only for a Grunt to pop out but before they could shoot they notice instead of glowing orange it was glowing blue.
"Well that was quick and from my readings you made sure that the alarms were disabled and it would have been too late for them to find out that you were in." The Grunt says and Stratos heard Alpha saying "I took the liberty of doing that when you entered the room with the Guardian's."
The area turns white before Victor says "How are the others doing?"
The Grunt motions for a screen and both look too see to their surprise they see Jayden fighting six Ceph Guardian's in hand to hand and winning.
Jayden was armed with two daggers which had plasma coating the edge.
Jayden ducked under a Guardian's swipe and swung his left leg under the Ceph tripping it face first before he plunged his right dagger into the back of its head and flips over it in order to avoid a charging Guardian who smashes into a wall but when it turned around Jayden threw his right dagger and it plunged into the Guardian's face and he ran to it and used the body as a spring while retrieving the dagger. Jayden spun in the air and used the wall as a spring and dive at the third Guardian who tried to shoot him only for Jayden to sheath both daggers and crash into its chest but as it lied on its back with Jayden still on it, Jayden brought his fist back and punched it in the face caving the helmet in killing the warrior.
Jayden stood off the body and turned around to see the remaining three who stare at him with their SMG's aimed at him.
Jayden brought out both knifes and held them in reverse grip saying "Not gonna get the chance to hit."
The Ceph open fire but not before Jayden rolled to the side activating his camo and causing the Ceph to look around in search of their enemy before a Ceph crashes into the ground with two large footprints on its back dead before Jayden appeared out of thin air and was in the middle of both Ceph who spun around bringing their weapons up but were too late because Jayden spun around with the door in front of him and plunged both knifes into the Cephs faces into their brains. The two guardian's stood there for a good three seconds before Jayden took his knives out and walked to the door as the two Ceph hit the ground dead.
"Will I have the data and am on my way to the extraction point how is everything with removing evidence?" Jayden asks as he calls his partner.
"I just set charges on the main and secondary reactor… even the third reactor… these guys really need to stop making my job hard because the reactors were three buildings separate!" Will yells and Jayden smiled under his helmet before he entered the elevator and took out a disk.
"So what do you think this training will end?"
"If I have to guess then we will have to leave soon." Jayden says before the door opens and he sees a Ceph grunt but before it could do anything Jayden threw a knife stabbing it in the head and killing it but as it fell onto its knees Jayden walked by removing the knife from the head before it falls onto its back.
Jayden walks through another door but not before activating his cloak and he snuck past several Ceph before he notices Will hacking into a Ceph gunship. Jayden runs to Will but when he does he hides as his suit recharges.
"What are you doing?" Jayden asked and Will responded saying "We're going to hijack a Ceph gunship to blast our way out and while you were making your way I found the alarm and disabled it… it was actually a big red holographic button… they really need to not make it obvious."
Jayden nods his head before the wings come on line catching the Ceph's attention.
"And we're in!" Will yells hopping into the cockpit while Jayden took co-pilot.
"How about some of your own medicine!" Will yells firing the gunships missiles killing most of the Ceph in the room before he smashes through the hanger and flies away.
"Shall I do the honors?" Will asks and Jayden nods his head before Will says "3, 2, 1 boom!"
Since the bombs were remote controlled to the suit he thought them to explode and they did destroying the entire Ceph base.
"Data retrieved, base destroyed, and enemy didn't even know we were here… I'd say it was a mission complete." Will says holding a thumbs up before they both found themselves in front of Stratos, Victor and a Ceph grunt.
"It seems we did it." Will says smiling under his helmet.
"Ceph test complete now proceeding to human phase." The Grunt says before everything flashed white and then instead of Victor with Stratos it was Jayden.
"What do you think we will be up against?" Stratos asked his fellow Gundam meister before a flash shines and they find themselves in a large tower and they see Sith troopers walking around but no Sith warriors or dark Jedi.
"Let's get this over with." Stratos says and both he and Jayden go invisible before they make their way towards their mission objective which was highlighted by Alpha and when they arrived they see a Sith officer at his desk speaking with another officer while two Sith troopers guarded the door.
"I'll deal with the guards and you deal with the officers." Jayden says and Stratos nods his head in agreement before they open the door confusing everyone in the room before Stratos slowly made his way in while Jayden stood in the middle of the door.
"Is that thing malfunctioning?" The first officer asks confused before Stratos gave Jayden the green light and Jayden took out both combat knives in reverse grips and deactivated his cloak surprising all 4 before he plunged both knives into the two guards face plates killing them before Stratos deactivated his armor as Jayden closed the door and shot the second officer in the back of the head before the first spun around taking out a pistol but before he could fire Stratos shot him in the shoulder making him drop his weapon.
"Where is the data?!" Stratos growled using a voice synthesizer while he thought 'Good idea with the intimidation tactic Alpha.' The AI responded with a hint of pride saying "I aim to please."
Go to hell!" The officer growls.
"That's strike one!" Stratos growled shooting the man in the leg causing him to cry in pain.
"Where is it?!" Stratos growled again.
"I'll never tell!" The officer growled through grinding teeth.
"Strike two!" Stratos yelled shooting him in the stomach avoiding the organs.
"Ah okay it's in my computer!" The officer cries in pain.
"What is the code?" Stratos asked.
"It's 523S843C!" The officer cried still in pain before Alpha did just that and a disk came out and Stratos grabbed it before tossing it too Jayden who caught it with ease.
"Good." Stratos said before he shot the officer in the head.
"Was killing him really necessary?" Jayden asked as Stratos walked too him.
"He would have given away our position and from what I can tell Sith enjoy the suffering of others… even if this is a test who knows where they get the idea of this guy from."
Jayden nodded his head before they left through the door making their way up before Stratos stops saying "Hey wait we need to clean up the evidence."
"We don't have time!" Jayden said before he spun around.
"You don't but I do." Stratos muttered cutting through the wall before he placed several explosives and in them before covering them up so that the Sith didn't know.
Stratos then ran up to the roof but when he arrived he saw Jayden held at gunpoint by 6 Sith trooper's and a dark Jedi.
"You think this is funny don't you?" The dark Jedi asked as he walked towards Jayden "You think that you can just get away with killing my minions? That won't do."
"Sir what should we do with him?" A trooper with red armor asked.
"Kill him, he isn't worth the air he breaths." The dark Jedi says waving off the man.
"Yes milord." The trooper says but before he could act his visor explodes in glass and blood as his body hits the ground as Stratos appeared out of thin air between two Sith troopers. The trooper too his right spun around only for Stratos to punch him in the stomach and when he bent over he knees him in the face before spinning around jumping and as he spun the second trooper spun around only to meet a spin kick in the face snapping his neck.
"Kill them!" The dark Jedi yells but when he spun around he saw only the tip of a knife as it stabbed into his right eye sending his head reeling back as Jayden ran up and jumped up using the dead body as a spring as he retrieved his knife. Jayden leapt into the air right at two troopers who shoot at him but each shot missed before he plunged both knives into their hearts killing them.
"Jayden turned to Stratos to see him punching a trooper several times in the chest before leaping into the air and spun around until he was on the man's shoulders and used his legs and twisted making the man's head twist too fast breaking his neck and killing him.
When the man fell onto the ground Stratos walks towards Jayden as the surviving trooper who was the same man Stratos punched and kneed stood up aiming his rifle only for Stratos to spin around firing his pistol hitting the man three times in the chest causing him to fall onto his back dead.
"So what's our ETA on leaving?"
"Do you think our armor can handle a fall?" Jayden asked as he looked at several buildings in front of him.
"Yes they can… your thinking of jumping aren't you?" Stratos's answer came with Jayden nodding his head as he jumped off and landed on top of another building making a small crater.
"Better this way!" Jayden yelled and Stratos shook his head muttering "This is going to be a long day."
Stratos then ran and leapt into the air before he crashed and rolled on the building before he got onto one knee and stood up.
"I believe we should take a shuttle out of here." Stratos says and not a second later a shuttle flies onto the building deploying twelve Sith commandoes.
"That was perfectly well timed." Stratos muttered and Jayden nodded his head in agreement before he draws his knives while Stratos took out his pistol.
The Sith open fire as the two run at the twelve but each round either misses or impacts on the armored Nanosuit. Stratos rushed to a commando and jumped into the air twisting his body where the bottom of his foot slashed into the face of a Sith commando shattering his visor and breaking his nose but also sending bone into said troopers brain killing him before he even understood what hit him.
When the commando hits the ground Stratos fires his pistol once hitting another commando in the chest dead as Jayden ducked under a commando's swing before he stabs the man in the heart and kicks the body away before throwing both daggers which stab into two commando's chests killing them. The remaining seven continue firing their rifles but they realized that they were useless and took out their vibroblades and rushed the two thinking they can beat them… how dead wrong they were.
Stratos took out his knife as Jayden rushed them passing the two dead Sith who still had his knives him their chests before he pulls them out. The two meisters run towards the remaining seven before Stratos holsters his pistol as the first commando swung his sword but Stratos ducked and grabbed the man's wrist and crushed them causing the commando to cry out in pain before dropping the sword but before it could hit the ground Stratos lets go of his wrists and reaches grabbing the sword and swings cutting the man's head off before he spun around blocking a sword that was from another commando.
The commando tries to punch Stratos but Stratos ducked under the punch and kneed him in the stomach causing the commando to double over before he grabbed his knife and stabbed the man in the back of the head.
When Stratos took out his knife he looked to see Jayden fighting the remaining four with little to no problem. The first commando swung but Jayden parried the blow and swung his second knife cutting the throat where he lets go of his sword and grabs his throat to stop the bleeding before Jayden leapt into the air where he spun kicking another commando in the throat this time crushing it but the kick was enhanced thanks to the suit causing the commando to fall off the building. The last two Commandoes rushed Jayden but be blocked both blows before he pushed the swords back and swung his left knife into the third commandoes arm causing him to cry in pain as he dropped his sword grabbing the wound while Jayden cut the leg of the fourth commando who falls onto one knee but as the third man took out a knife Jayden was already face and plunged a knife into his visor before he lets go of said blade and spun around where he was behind the kneeling commando and slits his throat. Both men fell to the ground dead with Stratos watching impressed.
"Not bad." Stratos says a commando rushed him from behind but with the sword still in hand he spun around and threw the sword where it sailed through the air until it stabbed into his heart and he fell onto his back dead.
"Now let's go." Stratos says as Jayden retrieved his knife. Both men entered the shuttle where Stratos shoots the pilots and then enters the pilot seat and has Alpha take control before the shuttle takes off and flies away but as it was doing that Stratos activated the bombs where a floor of the building explodes but the force causes it to collapse killing every Sith in it.
"Now that part two of the first test done for us." Stratos says smiling under his helmet. Both men let out a breath before holographic words appeared.
"Test 1 complete" That is what was written before everything went white.
"Alright let's see how the others are doing." Stratos says before he looks towards an area where both men see a screen appear and it shows both Victor and Will running down a hall.
"I hate this!" Will yells spinning around firing what looked like a blaster rifle striking a Sith in the face.
"We got the data but you didn't bother to check to see if the guy was still alive to sound the alarm!?" Victor yelled opening a door which lead to some stairs.
"He was filled with holes and I have no idea how he survived!" Will yelled running through the door before closing it and shooting the lock sealing it before they run down the stairs.
"Wait armor duh!" Will muttered face palming before he and Victor jump down and they sailed before the stretch their arms out using the stairs and railings to slow their descent until they crashed into the ground making small craters.
"Let's go." Said Will as he and Victor activated their cloak.
They ran through the halls passing Sith troopers who ran down halls before they reached the exit where they left the building and travel seven blocks before Will brought out a detonator but when he pressed the button explosions going from up to down happened and the building fell.
"How much explosives did you use?" Victor asked the shadow user.
"About seventy eight C-11 explosives." Will says with a smile.
"Pyromaniac" Stratos muttered under his breath before both men appeared in the room.
"I guess it's time for the solo." Stratos says and all 3 nod their heads in agreement before one by one they vanish until Stratos vanished and he appeared in a large tower overlooking a Ceph facility.
"Tactical options available" The suit said.
"Uh Alpha was that you?" Stratos asked confused.
"No that was the suits computer systems." Alpha said materializing on his shoulder before he saw different markers and instructions.
"I guess this will do." Stratos says before engaging his cloak but as he made his way to the marks he saw 2 human children being dragged by two Ceph Grunts.
"What the hell are they doing?" Stratos asked and followed the two aliens before he found what he was looking for.
"I guess we found our objective." Stratos muttered looking at a force field containing 12 human civilians mostly women and children.
Stratos approached quietly until he noticed that instead of orange eyes the Ceph had pitch black eyes.
"Must be the other faction." Stratos muttered.
"From what the Alpha Ceph gave me, this is the Mochoria faction… says here they are the most sadistic in torture… [shudder] from what I can read… I think I'm going to be sick."
Stratos cringed in sympathy because what he read even he would have been sick had he not encountered the Necromorphs.
"AAAAAHHHHHHH!" That brought Stratos out of his thoughts as he hears the man's cries of agony before they abruptly ended.
"Even though this is fake… I feel sorry for that guy." Alpha said with sadness for a fellow machine.
"Alright I'll move in and take down what Ceph I can and then I'm going to get them out of there."
"How the entire base is floating over a volcano for crying out loud!" Alpha yelled and Stratos looked down to see his AI was right.
Stratos looks at the cage before he looks over it and to his surprise it was connected to a large Ceph dropship.
"I think I have a way to save the hostages." Stratos says with a smile.
Stratos ran through the facility running into little Ceph resistance.
Stratos arrived to the dropship but stopped when he looks to his left to see a gravity tether attached to the side of a volcanic wall.
"Alpha what would happen if I sever that tether?" Stratos asked his AI.
"From what I can see… the structure would fall into the lava infested volcano." Alpha said and if Stratos could see it he would see a grin.
"I have an update to my plan." Stratos says before he runs to the tether.
Stratos climbs up the tether and discreetly puts several explosives in areas where the Ceph wouldn't be able to find it.
"All explosives set and ready to go off." Alpha said with a hint of pride.
"When we are at a good distance for an escape blow the charges." Stratos says as he turns around but as he does he stops when he sees 7 Ceph Grunts aiming their weapons at him.
"… Well fuck." Stratos mutters activating his armor as they open fire but the rounds struck the suit without puncturing it.
Stratos grabs a grenade and chucks it in the middle of the Ceph and runs at them but when he reached them the grenade exploded killing all 7 Ceph but dropping his suit power to 24%. Stratos deactivated his armor and took a Ceph grunts rifle which from what he could understand was called the Pinch rifle. Stratos ran towards the dropship before 4 Ceph Stalkers run into view but as the four take notice of him he aims the rifle and fires the weapons sending plasma bolts and each bolt strikes the Stalkers with some killing the Ceph instantly.
Stratos reaches the dropship and enters the cockpit shooting the Ceph pilot in the face before throwing the body out and getting into the seat where he inserts Alpha.
"Alright now is the time to fly!" Alpha said with a hint of joy before the dropship took to the air and flew with the cage still connected to the dropship.
"Gunships twelve O'clock!" Alpha yelled and Stratos took control of the weapons systems and took aim seeing 3 gunships.
"Engaging!" Stratos yelled firing the weapons sending plasma bolts at the enemy air vehicles with some bolts striking the first gunship in the left engine causing it to spin out of control and strike the second where both explode. The last gunship flew through the smoke and fired missiles.
"Missiles!" Stratos yelled before he grabbed hold of the controls as Alpha makes the dropship evade the projectiles.
"I see the exit and am now engaging the explosives!" Alpha yelled before they hear an explosion and Stratos looks to see the tether explode before the entire facility vibrates.
The facility slowly moves as it started to lose its grip on the volcano that it was foolishly in.
"We're almost there!" Alpha yelled as Stratos fired the weapons systems at the final gunship striking the center of said gunship many times before the vehicle explodes in red flames.
The dropship flew through the facility as parts of it exploded until the facility hits the lava under it and begins to explode all together before the dropship with its cargo shoots out of the exit with both smoke and fire right behind it.
"Alright mission two done." Alpha said with a hint of satisfaction as Stratos retrieved his data crystal before everything went white and he was ready for the second part of test two.

/Sith/Imperium territory unknown world/
In an unknown building in a large stark white room were several tables with beakers and on the very center table was a container full of black and purple liquid while at a console was Imperium leader Tarko and 5 scientists as he was watching them work on the liquid.
"Sludge is showing more and more reactionary purposes each day sir." The head scientists says.
"What can you tell me about the tests? Can we create something from this?" Tarko asked with a hint of curiosity.
"Yes sir in theory but we need a corpse or two too work with." The scientist says before Tarko snapped his fingers and the door opens and 12 Imperium troopers came in dragging dead Republic soldiers.
"Will these work?" Tarko asked and the scientist nods his head saying "Yes sir now all we need to do is put then in the container but slowly so that the sludge doesn't hit anything alive. We will need to work with something dead first before we work with a live subject because we don't want anything bad happening to you sir."
Tarko looked at the man before giving him a sincere smile saying "I thank you for the worry but I can handle myself."
The troopers slowly set the corpses into the container before they jump back since the last fully submerged a pillar of black purple liquid shoots from the container.
"Woah, woah, woah energy readings just spiked and I am reading a heartbeat!" The scientist yelled as the troopers ran down and took out their pistols.
"What is happening?" Tarko asked curious.
"Sir the container!" One of the scientists yell and they all look to see the liquid vanish and in it stood a creature they have never seen before.
The creature's body was small and thin in comparison to its oddly shaped head; regardless, it is still taller than a person even though it has a hunched posture. It has six large eyes, spikes protruding from the top of its pale head, a serrated looking mouth that stretches across the entire width of the head, long spindly legs. And very long, clawed fingers. It appears to have a hump on the top of its back, if one was to look. It appears to be a sort of backwards shark-fin..
"Where am I? Who am I?" The creature asked with what sounded like multiple voices confused.
"You are in a science room and it is where you were born and we have yet to give you a name." Tarko said trying to see what the creature will do.
"I feel, I feel strange… the light weakens me but the dark… it gives me strength!" The creature yelled the final word before the same liquid shoots from the ground and destroys all but one light and it vanishes.
"I feel stronger already." The creature says with a hint of gratefulness.
"You are a creature born from darkness so it is only natural." Tarko says with a hint of pride.
"I now know where I came from but I still lack a name. Will you give me one?" The creature asked appearing in front of Tarko with pleading eyes.
"Of course. You shall be known as The Crawler." Tarko says and the now named Crawler looks at him before vanishing from sight before they hear its voice say "The name is strange but also fitting for me. Very well I am the Crawler. What will you have me do master?"
The Crawler appears in front of Tarko again this time in a kneeling position and Tarko has a smirk under his helmet before he says "There will be a capture operation in a few weeks and since you are here you can help."
The Crawler looks up and says "Who is the target?"
Tarko takes out a holo projector and an image of a young woman with red hair and amber eyes appears and she had a smile.
"The target is a woman named Nena Trinity, the mission is to capture her and bring out the ORCA founder Stratos if he is alive."
The Crawler looks at the hologram and says "Do we torture her to bring him out of hiding?"
Tarko's smirk grew before he says "That will help Crawler and I think you will be the best to do that."
The Crawler if it could would smile before it starts laughing maniacally before it shows red eyes appearing all around the room as what looked like shadow people walk out carrying swords.
"The mission will not fail master!" The Crawler says with a hint of arrogance.
