"Hiltz you're a total mad man," said Van once again stating the obvious.

"This is true...But I know what I'm doing so 'Ha"

With that his face disappears from the screen.

"I want him found," piped an eerily low and life threatening voice belonging to Gen.White.

"Miss White glad-,"Van turn to face her but fell victim to her fist instead.

"I WANT HIM FOUND NNOOOWWW!"

"Gen. the Deathstinger has been located and several troops should be deployed by now."

"Is Aurora battle ready?"

"We weren't expecting-," Herman, too, fell victim.

"'Weren't expecting'? Always expect the worst! Expect every plausible possibility and then some from now on! How in the world did you get this far in your military career NOT knowing that!"

Van was first to ask, "What do you plan to do? It's not like he can be stopped!"

"I intend to use Aurora's top secret weapons that make her invincible. She has a weapon that is more lethal than that of a charged particle blast. What you have seen and all you know...it's just the beginning."

She left the room in ear splitting silence. In her mind she reviewed the current past, present, and planed the future. She had never used the weapon before, the weapon she and raven called 'venom'. Venom was an atomically targeted acid that was injected through aurora's fangs into the core system. When the acid hits the core it activates and begins to quickly eat away at the core thus killing the zoid from the inside out. 'I had promised raven that I would never use it unless it was going to do a greater good than revenge...this one goes both ways.' She recalled the smile in his eyes when she had made the promise and the blackness of the burns on his face when he died. Anger, fury at it's purest, surged in her heart side by side with the loneliness of a love that can't be released, and it was all HIS fault.

Hiltz killed him. She would kill Hiltz.
