After the creation of the newest Jaeger, the PPDC got several new Designer Jaegers commissioned that did both Holo-immersion and the old rig system. However, there was a third one that hybridized both styles into one. Rias, Akeno, Kiba and Koneko picked that style as Issei and Asia's Jaeger combined both Old and New into one. Koneko Toujou looked up at her and Kiba's Jaeger was flown in, the black color with orange highlights making it stand out in the sun.

"It's something," Yuuto Kiba said to her, as he looked at the Jaeger, "Not something I would have thought possible between us."

The Jaeger looked like a combination of Gypsy Danger and Striker Eureka, the arms were modeled after the Mark Five while the legs were definitely the Mark Three's. The body was a mixture of both designs, but the head was more Gypsy in design, bit smaller and more compact. On its left shoulder was one of its weapons that Koneko bluntly said had to be on there, a massive Rail chaingun. Koneko wanted a big gun to shoot things with, the hand cannons weren't going to cut it with her.

"Echoing Tower," Koneko said, "That'll be the name of our Jaeger."

Kiba shrugged before looking at her, "It's smaller then the others."

Koneko nodded, "Smaller, faster, more tanky. Like me and you as a team."

Kiba shrugged, "As long as we're able to work it out in the com pod."


Rias watched as Echoing Tower moved in the bay, practicing as Samurai Indigo watched and fixed it's fighting position. Akeno was beside her, watching as the two jaegers continued to practice. Striker Eureka had taken Crimson Dragon, Issei and Asia's Jaeger, out for a much needed practice somewhere else. They hadn't gotten to see their Jaeger yet as they had to redesign it after she talked with Harry about the design.

The previous design was a sleek machine that invoked the grace of a dancer and silent killer, something that both ladies would have enjoyed. But Akeno agreed with Rias that they should honor another Jaeger that saved them both personally, even though the pilots probably didn't realize it at the time. They wanted a design similar to Crimson Typhoon's own design only to combine it with their previous design from the Design Jaeger.

They wouldn't have their Jaeger for another few weeks, due to the design issues caused by their combining of two other designs. They would be the last of the six, when Rias and Akeno got picked first for the program. Both were quiet as they watched the two Jaegers, both were thinking of what they would be doing if things hadn't turned out like it had.

Finally, Rias broke the silence by turning to her Queen and saying, "I think we should get some food before resting. The day is ending and we'll be in far more trouble for not getting ourselves ready with Herc."


Harry Potter looked through the glass at the open chest of the Jaeger that would be called Diablo Lightning, The newest engine was being moved into place, a Hollow Earth Energy Generator to be exact. The HEE Generator was the answer to the Jaegers still running the Nuclear Turbine engine, due to the Titans taking a rather hungry interest in these engines. Due to being nuclear, the Titans were attracted to them much more then the new HEE Generator in the testing.

The new HEE Generator was also created using the designs from the former Apex Corporation Mechagodzilla designs and improved upon it dramatically. It turns out the Hollow Earth Energy could work with Magic, but worked best with Nuclear energy. However, Nuclear Energy did not work with magic unless Hollow Earth Energy was there to absorb the Radiation generated. That meant this was Magic friendly, given that Rias had designed Diablo Lightning on paper then said to combine the design that the Design Jaeger gave with it.

Given that Version five Magic engines were located in each shoulder, allowing Rias and Akeno to generate magic into each cannon. He also knew that Echoing Tower ran on a HEE Generator too, but Crimson Dragon was unknown. The energy generated wasn't from the former Electric engine that the Jaeger had used but just seemed to show up out of thin air, but it still left people stumped.

Harry smiled as the HEE Generator was finally put into place, men and women quickly swarming the chest cavity to lock the Generator in place so it doesn't go flying in the middle of a fight. He turned away and looked at Maia as she wrote something down on a tablet.

"They'll be glad that this Jaeger will be leaving the shop by the end of the week." He remarked, Maia looking up at him.

"They've been working overtime to get it out of here," Maia Simmons remarked, "Diablo Lightning is an apt name, the Devil that has had problems that appear in a flash, like summer lightning itself."

Harry shrugged, "Every Jaeger has its own problems, Echoing Tower had a problem with the Rail Chaingun being installed due to the shoulder guards. They were removed and instead they added a single head guard, to keep the head from being shoved out of its connections."

Maia nodded at that, "Indeed, but that Jaeger is also much tankier and shorter then any model we've made."

"The new Construction Jaegers are one man Drones that we had our sister company, Shao Industries, create. Liwen Shao knew that the PLF would build the Combat Jaegers; she could deal with the civilian Jaegers. Her drones are better suited for civilian work anyway, look at all the reconstruction that has been done already."

Maia shook her head, "Not that I'm complaining but I'm more concerned about the walls that the UN and other Governments tried and failed to keep built. They've started to find almost whole Jaegers inside of them, recently, the Mark Four Philippine Azure Defiant was found inside the Wall around New Zealand."

Harry grimaced as he remembered that Jaeger being brought in, the Mark Four was in surprisingly good shape even after it had been sealed into the Wall. Azure Defiant had been refitted and given a new Nuclear Turbine engine, new railguns and new plasma edge swords before being deployed to defend the Florida coast. But it was becoming more obvious that someone had tried to ruin the PPDC by sticking Jaegers into the Wall to speed up the Wall construction.

Maia continued, "Sierra Vigilant and Delta Maverick were also discovered today, Maverick had both previous Rangers bones inside of them. People are starting to think that the Governments around the world were trying to kill them, by sealing Jaegers into the Walls. We're also investigating those in charge at the time as well, its not pretty."

Harry's mood dropped at that as he frowned, "How bad are we talking here?"

Maia sighed, "All of them were either Fae or sleeper agents of the Fae, they wanted us to die. We've also been purging most of those affected by the Fae magicks, at least those so deeply into it that they can't be saved by us. Harry, I'm actually worried for our world."

Harry looked directly at Maia before walking over and cupping her face in his hands, "As long as I'm alive and breathing, our world will stand and survive."
