It was a new day in the City, and all was going well. In the buffet that was run by a few Marvins, Frames, and Michael's childhood friends, the Shadow was playing a game of Checkers against Bonnie. Just then, he jumped three of the animatronic's pieces, reaching the opposite end of the board. "King me."

"Uh... " Toy Bonnie began letting out a sound that could only be described as dial-up.

"You OK there?" Michael asked.

The Shadow leaned forward, taking a closer look at the animatronic. "I think I broke him."

Suddenly, the light blue animatronic slapped himself, coming back to reality. "Good move. Nicely done, Shadow."

"Naturally."

The game continued on for about a minute before the Shadow won. "Impressive. It's been a long time since I've lost at this game."

"I guess it's just one of those days."

"I have just received word that the Cabal base in the EDZ has been destroyed." Spyglass suddenly reported.

"Destroyed? How? And by who?" Samus asked.

"A team of Pilots stationed at the IMC HQ, known as the IMC Elites."

The Shadow tilted his skull in confusion. "The IMC Elites?"

"We better go congratulate them." Michael added.

"I never get used to this place." The Shadow stated.

"It's way outside Earth's solar system." Michael had a point.

They reached the Titan barracks, where a Pilot squadron was talking. It consisted of five humans and two Simulacrums.

As the Fireteam approached them, Michael's helmet acquired the IDs.

"Did you see the look on that Centurion's ugly face when I uncloaked right on top of him? HA HAAA! Priceless!" Jarod laughed.

"Just because you can mess around with your targets doesn't mean you should, Jarod." Alden scolded him.

Boyce was shaking his head at the Cloak Pilot. "Get a grip on yourself."

"You don't want me to give you another flash punch, do you?" Lyman threatened, holding a metal knuckle sandwich right in front of his face.

The others were reprimanding Jarod for treating this job like a source of entertainment.

Michael made his presence known. "So, you're the IMC Elites. I'm Michael, leader of City Hawk 723."

"I'm Jones, leader of the IMC Elites."

"Congratulations on destroying that Cabal base in the European Dead Zone."

"Congratulations on killing Ghaul. We may be the IMC equivalent of the SRS, but you're better than any of us."

"The Red Legion created that base during their invasion. By destroying it, you have reclaimed that area for humanity. We thank you." Spyglass commended.

"Just doin our job." Lucio replied.

It was then that the Shadow spoke up. "It's a pretty good job."

"The Shadow... I've heard of you. The Traveler trusted you for your actions following your revelation, and you stayed true to your word." Jones bowed.

"I have a mind of my own. No one controls me. Not even Oryx."

Jones nodded in acknowledgement. "Oryx gave you a mind of your own, and that was what eventually led to his downfall."

"The others were blinded by darkness, but I can see through it. I saw the truth."

"So, Michael, are there any special tactics you followed or something?" Odell asked.

"It's called the Law of the Jungle."

"As old and as true as the sky. The wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die." The Shadow added.

"The House of Judgment keeps it, they shall prosper, even their Kell, Variks. Oryx broke it, so he died, as did Ghaul." Michael explained.

"Oryx didn't exactly 'die'. He was just added to my Taken."

Michael turned his head to face the Shadow. "I did not know that."

"I also heard that the Shadow started keeping prisoners from other dimensions in the Dreadnaught. Evildoers, crazed alien conquerors, you name it." Alden said.

"Well, just two; an evil leader named Master Cyclonis, and a Cabal Colossus-sized alien named Ma Vreedle who was bent on revenge against a hero."

The Cloak Elite Pilot shuddered. "The Shadow's giving me the creeps."

"Take your job seriously, Jarod. It could mean the difference between humanity's survival... and its extinction."

Just a side note: I disagree entirely with a certain change Respawn made with the Tricks and Treats patch. What even is correct weapon categorization anymore to those guys...? I have something to say to them about it, and the message is as follows: "▀▖┗▛▄▖▜▚┣ ▜▚┗┣┗┫┓┏┓ ▛▄▖┅┗▖. ┣┗┏▛▄▖▜┏┣ ▚ ▖▞┣┗▖┗┣. ┣┗▖┃▀▚▗┏┏┓. ▖┛▀┗▞┃┏▄ ▛┏┗▄▖▜▚┣ ┅▖┗━▖ ▖┓┫▞┣ ▚ ▛▄┅┗▖ ▚ ▖▞┣┗▖┗┣ ▚┛▘▞━▖┅"
