Le RP
Let's get the ball rolling. o3o

Chapter I: An Old Enemy
(Your turn. o3o)

(Nope, it's yours c:)

('Kay. c:)

Quentin: Well, I've got a game called Grand Theft Knuckles on my Shaystation 4 over here. I'll show you.

Quentin started up the game and joined GTK Online, and demonstrated how it works.

(Did you know there's a road called Joshua Road in GTA V? XD) (O rly? XD) (Yup. XD)

Jayden watched as he was playing the game... she didn't look interested.

Meanwhile, in the Zarvokian Command Center...

Lucas was overseeing Zarvokian territories when he got a video transmission from a Zarvokian facility in Eurish. He answered it.

Lucas: Hello?

Zarvokian Officer: Colonel Vincent, we're under attack!

Lucas: Under attack? Really?

Zarvokian Officer: Yes, bombshells have hit near the facility of Outpost Trilex, and they are attacking our supply convoys and other resources.

Lucas: Who would be attacking you?

Zarvokian Officer: Hold on, I'm receiving information on who's attacking.

The officer received an information file from one of his staff members.

Zarvokian Officer: They call themselves The Inquisitor Clan. They want revenge for the death of their beloved leader Graham Smithers, and the fact you defeated them in 3236, and they won't stop the war until The Zarvok Federations are completely wiped off the face of Mobius.

Lucas: The Inquisitor Clan's back?! How's that possible?!

Zarvokian Officer: That I do not know, sir. But we need help as soon as you can send it.

Lucas: I'll talk to Mr. Burns right away!

Lucas then ended the transmission and ran down the hallway to Adex's office and rapidly knocked on the door.

"...Sweet Gaia, you may come in" Adex said from the inside of the office.

Lucas then entered.

Lucas: Sir, the Inquisitor Clan has risen from the dead and is attacking Outpost Trilex in Eurish!

"...What? That's impossible, every facility they had was destroyed, how did they get so much of their manpower and strength again?" He asked.

Lucas: We don't know how this is possible, sir, maybe they were being helped by some outside force or something, I'm not sure. What I do know is that we need to send people over to Eurish to help take care of the Inquisitors down there, posthaste. (Let's say the Inquisitors are being backed by the Keter Var Empire? :3) (That's highly unlikely, the Keterians don't even know where Mobius is in this time period) (Okay then.)

"An outside force...? Hm... well no matter" Adex said before he stood up "If they didn't learn from the last war, then history shall repeat itself. Send a regiment over there to deal with them immediately" He added.

Lucas: Right away, sir!

Lucas made his way over to the command center before calling over the intercom.

Lucas: Calling the 1st Zarvokian Support Regiment for duty! I repeat, calling 1st Zarvokian Support Regiment for duty! Get mobilized and prepare for deployment!

(They are in the command center. XD)

Adex watched as he left his office, before the commander of the 1st Zarvokian Support Regiment was hailed by Lucas and was told to mobilize "Affirmative sir! But where to?" He asked.

Lucas: To Outpost Trilex, they're being bombed by the Inquisitor Clan, and they are raiding our supply convoys in Eurish. Now get going!

"The Inquisitor Clan, they're back? We'll be there right away, sir" The commander said, before he quickly went to address his troops to prepare for battle, gathering their equipment and preparing their vehicles to enter Genesis and Holomane Transports, which were to go to a TA-650 Troop Transport aerostat.

Lucas was overseeing this process, as Sophia came out to look at it.

Sophia: What's going on, daddy?

Lucas: The Inquisitors have somehow returned to the face of Mobius, Sophia. Mr. Burns has ordered me to send in a regiment to deal with them.

Sophia: The Inquisitors?

Lucas: Yes, we were at war with them in 3236, but we won that war in one day after the Inquisitors surrendered due to crippling morale loss. We destroyed every single facility they had on this planet, but they somehow returned and are attacking our Outpost Trilex and their supply convoys down in Eurish.

Sophia: Well, let's hope they can handle the Inquisitors...

Lucas: Yes, let's hope so...

Meanwhile, Quentin was still playing GTK Online with Jayden, resupplying his Motorcycle Club businesses with other players.

Quentin: And my Document Forgery Office is still business! Alright!

Jayden was just sitting down on the couch as she watching him... still not remotely interested in the game he was playing as her head was resting on her hand.

Quentin and the members of his Motorcycle Club then went to sell product from their Cocaine Lockup.

(I've also read up on the future of the Zarvok Continuity, and I like what you've done with it. Made me start thinking of a future for Liam and Blade too.) (Okay [That moment when Alex needs to start thinking of a different father for Blade since Tails is actually already taken by Mina and not Cosmo]) (Blade actually already has a different father named Dave, it says so in my continuity. XD But I am going to have to think of a new love interest for Cosmo, however.) (No, no no, I'm referring to where Tails was his father before time was altered, since Tails never dated Cosmo in the archie timeline)

"..." Jayden's eyes then began to close, before her head laid on the couch arm.

Meanwhile, Lucas and Sophia continued to oversee the preparation process of the 1st Zarvokian Support Regiment.

The regiment itself was about halfway completed with their mobilization, as transports began taking the ones that were already mobilized into the TA-650 Troop Transport.

(S**t, now that you mention it, it means I'm going to have to change Blade's entire origins and make it that he wasn't originally Tails' son. Ugh, the work I'm gonna have to do...Then again, Cosmo isn't Blade's mother, Zooey from Sonic Boom is, but I'll still have to change it since Tails didn't date Zooey in the Archie timeline either...) (Yeh pretty much. Don't worry tho, originality always pays off c:) (So...Should I reboot Blade?) (Just so he isn't the son of Tails and Zooey, everything else is fine o3o) (I see. That's gonna make some of the roleplay material we've done so far inaccurate, though. o3o)

Lucas: Everything is going well so far...

Sophia: Yes indeed, daddy...

[Skip turn]

Meanwhile, somewhere on Mobius...

Sherman Smithers was having a meeting with Daniel Vercetti, a commander of the Twyops.

Sherman: So, the deal is through?

Daniel: Yes, we will gladly supply you with the weapons you need. However, the Zarvokians must not know we're helping you.

Sherman: They won't. Adex Zarvok Burns will pay for the death of my cousin Graham. I will take his life, just like my cousin took the lives of most of Colonel Vincent's family (wait wut) (Lucas acknowledged this at the end of the first Inquisitor-Zarvokian War). We will not give up until Adex has been successfully eliminated. We will give you the payment for the weapons.

Back at Fort Zarvok...

Jayden was still on the couch with her eyes closed, while the support regiment was still mobilizing, about 85% of it being completely mobilized.

Quentin, meanwhile was doing the Prison Break Heist on GTK Online. He had his headset on and was talking with his fellow players.

Quentin: We doing this, boys?

Player #1: Yes, we are!

Quentin: Okay, let's rock and roll!

Jayden then opened her left eye which looked out the window... getting a clear view of the mobilization that was taking place "Whoa... hey Quentin, look!" She said.

Quentin looked while still playing the game. He was so skilled he could play without looking.

Quentin: Whoa! A Zarvokian Regiment is mobilizing! Do you think something's happening?

"I don't know... I'm gonna go see!" Jayden said as she got up from the couch to go outside his quarters and find out what was going on.

Lucas and Sophia saw Jayden approaching.

Sophia: Hey, Jayden.

"Hi!" She said happily when she approached them "What's going on?" She asked.

Sophia: Daddy is mobilizing the 1st Zarvokian Support Regiment to deploy them to Eurish, as Outpost Trilex, one of our facilities, is under attack.

"What!? We're under attack?! By who?!" She asked surprised.

Lucas: By a hostile faction known as The Inquisitor Clan. We fought them before in 3236, where we destroyed every single facility they had on this planet, but they somehow rose from the dead and are attacking us again.

"The Inquisitor Clan? My brother told me about them, they're back?" She asked.

Lucas: Yes. We don't know how, but they are. Your father has given me the task of getting a regiment mobilized and sending them to Eurish. If it's a second war they want, it's a second war they're gonna get.

"Okay" She mouthed... before a suddenly thought struck her head "Hey! Can you save a transport for me? I'll be right back!" Jayden said, before she ran towards Quentin's quarters.

Quentin was still playing the Prison Break Heist on GTK Online. He and his comrades had just finished up the heist.

Quentin: Boom! We did it!

She opened the door to his quarters as she stood at the doorway "Quentin! Come here!" She said happily.

Quentin: Coming!

Quentin quickly shut off his Shaystation and went over to Jayden.

Quentin: What's the matter, Jayden?

"Follow me!" Jayden said as she began running towards his father and sister again.

Quentin quickly followed her.

Lucas: So...what were you thinking of, Jayden?

"I thought it would be obvious, silly! For us to come along!" She said.

Lucas: Well, you have my permission, but I'm not sure if your father's fine with you two coming along.

"Well, can you ask him for me? Pretty please?" She asked while making an adorable facial expression.

Lucas: On it.

Lucas went to Adex's office. Sophia followed him. Lucas knocked on the door of Adex's office.

Jayden watched as they walked away, which she tilted her head "...Why didn't he use his HUD?" She muttered to himself. On the other hand, Adex heard him knock on her door "...Mm? Come in" He said.

Lucas entered with Sophia.

Lucas: Sir, your daughter Jayden has requested to be deployed to Eurish alongside Quentin.

"...Oh? Seems my children want to do things nowadays... very well, she handled herself against Danny May, so I don't see why she couldn't do the same here" He said.

Lucas: Alright. And what about Quentin?

"...So long as he's kept in line this time, I will allow this second chance" Adex said.

Lucas: Very well, I shall inform them they have your permission.

Sophia: ...Sir, am I allowed to join Jayden and Quentin?

"...Oh?" Adex mouthed before he looked at Sophia "...Are you combat-effective, Sophia?" He asked.

Sophia: I have been training with M7-Y1 Plasma Swords, though I have nowhere near the swordsmanship that your children possess. But even so, I should still do very well in combat.

"...Mm, very well. Stay close to Jayden and your brother then" He said.

Sophia: I will, sir.

Lucas: Okay, we will arrange a transport for you, Jayden and Quentin. Let's get going.

Lucas and Sophia left the office and closed the door, then returned to Jayden and Quentin.

Lucas: You two have permission to be deployed to Eurish. And Quentin, Mr. Burns is giving you a second chance, so don't screw it up.

Quentin: I certainly won't, dad. If there's one thing I learned while in prison, it's not to make the same mistakes you've made before.

Lucas: Good. Also, Sophia will be accompanying you two, and because Sophia isn't as combat trained as the two of you, Mr. Burns wants the two of you to protect her.

"You're coming with Sophia?! Eeee!" Jayden said excitingly before she gave a quick hug to her.

Quentin sweatdropped, but Sophia just giggled.

Sophia: Yes, I'll be coming with you.

Lucas nodded as he slid down his Tactical HUD over his eyes.

Lucas: Hey, can I get a Genesis Transport for Jayden, Quentin and Sophia?

Jayden, while still hugging Sophia, looked at Lucas "But... why not a Holomane?" She asked curiously.

Lucas: Oh, my bad. *over his HUD* Actually, make that a Holomane Transport.

Jayden couldn't help but giggle at making Lucas' correction for him.

Lucas: ...Alright, thank you.

Lucas then removed his HUD from his eyes.

Lucas: A Holomane Transport is being arranged for the three of you. As soon as the 1st Zarvokian Support Regiment is mobilized, you have permission to take off.

Quentin: Understood, dad.

Sophia: Yes, we'll take care of things down in Eurish.

"Okay! We'll take care of the Inquisitors!" Jayden said with a smile.

Lucas nodded and awaited complete mobilization of the 1st Zarvokian Support Regiment.

At that moment, the entirety of the regiment had been mobilized, and ready for deployment. Jayden on the other hand kept her grip around Sophia's arm.

Lucas: Good luck!

Quentin: Thanks, dad.

"Thank you!" Jayden said happily

Sophia: Thank you, daddy!

Sophia and Quentin boarded the Holomane Transport with Jayden, and sat down in their seats.

Jayden of course followed, still having her arms around the former's arm in a clinging hug.

Pilot: Are we all set?

Sophia: Pretty much.

Pilot: Okay, off we go then!

The regiment then set off for Outpost Trilex, Eurish, as the Holomane Transport holding the three entered the TA-650 Troop Transport, before it activated it's rupture drive to open up a rupture to go to Outpost Trilex.

Outpost Trilex, Eurish...

Meanwhile, the base defenses of the outpost, along with it's personnel, were fighting the invading Inquisitor Clan remnants, while the supply convoys (which consisted of more TA-650 Troop Transports holding supplies and Quartz-67 Corvettes) tried to get out of the area as fast as possible.

(Sorry.)

The Inquisitors fought back using enhanced Plasma and Dark/Anti-Dark Matter weapons supplied to them by the Twyops. The weapons were being fired by fighter jets, tanks and a giant twin rotored helicopter/plane hybrid.

(Okay, what kind of weapons XD) (Plasma and Dark/Anti-Dark Matter, just like Zarvok.) (Specify it in the post so I know what is being used on what and by whom, lol) (There, all fixed. x3) (You forgot to tell me what is firing it. Y'know, like tanks, planes, any of the sort? XD) (Oh, right. XD)

The Antimatter shots would have easily cut down the plasma shielding of the Zarvokian forces... fortunately however, they had a second layer of energy shielding that prevented the antimatter shots from taking them down, while also protecting them from the plasma and dark matter shots. As such, the TA-650 convoys were taking this chance to get out of area while their defense plasma cannons were firing at the fighter jets, while the Quartz-67 Corvettes went straight for the large heliplanes with their light railguns.

As for the tanks, they were more fortunate as they didn't have to deal with a lot of B980 Defensive Turrets... though if they didn't get that shield down from the Mako75 Shield Generators, they were gonna be a big problem soon.

The fighter jet began to rain down their Anti-Matter shots onto the Mako75s (Does this count as autohitting? o3o) (Not really in a sense, it's technically an airstrike, lol)

The fighter jets antimatter would batter against the energy shield layering that protected it, since the plasma layer was already gone. At the moment... the 1st Zarvokian Support Regiment arrived, as the TA-650 Troop Transport carrying their forces had arrived via rupture over the outpost. Within their hangars, they were mobilizing all the troops within the Genesis and Holomane Transports.

Quentin looked out the window of the Holomane Transport that he, Jayden and Sophia were on. He then checked the ammo of his C-T34 Plasma Shotgun.

Quentin: I'm just about ready to make mincemeat out of those Inquisitors.

Sophia had her M7-Y1 Plasma Swords ready.

Sophia: Me too.

Jayden on the other hand, was swinging her legs up and down eagerly, while her hands were on the bench. She still was in her happy, friendly self it seemed... which may make one wonder why someone such as her would even fight in a war.

(That's actually a really good question. XD)

Holomane Pilot: Mr. Quentin, Mrs. Sophia, Mrs. Jayden, are you all ready to depart?

Quentin: Yes.

Sophia: Yes.

"Mhm! I'm ready!" Jayden said.

Holomane Pilot: Okay, prepare to depart!

The pilot landed the Holomane Transport about a feet from the ground so that the trio could get off safely.

Holomane Pilot: I'll keep in position over here in case you want to leave.

Sophia: Alright, thank you very much.

Quentin and Sophia got off the Holomane Transport and waited for Jayden to get off.

They... were still on the TA-650 as it didn't even take off yet. Jayden looked at them curious "Hey, where are you going?" She asked them curiously.

(So...The TA-650 hasn't even reached Outpost Trilex yet? Or did it?) (No it did. The Genesis and Holomane transports within it's hangars just didn't take off yet.) (Oh, okay.)

Sophia and Quentin facepalmed at this mistake and sat back down.

Jayden couldn't help but giggle when they realized their mistake. Wasn't trying to mock them, but it might've been mistaken as such.

Sophia and Quentin awaited the Genesis and Holomane Transports to leave their hangars.

Soon, the Genesis and Holomane Transports that were carrying the regiment's ground forces had fully mobilized their forces into the transports. As such, one by one, they began to take off from the hangars and fly to where the outpost was. The Holomane Transport carrying Jayden, Sophia, and Quentin would go first.

Quentin and Sophia looked out the window at the battlefield, seeing all the Zarvokian and Inquisitor casualties so far.

Sophia: All those brave men and women gave their lives to ensure our freedom...You know, if you really take the time to think about it, why do we fight wars anyway? Why can't we all just get along with each other?

Quentin: That's a very good question, Sophia. A question we will probably never get an answer to.

Sophia nodded.

"I know why... because some people are just plain mean!" Jayden said, giving a bit of a pout.

Quentin and Sophia nodded.

Quentin: Pretty much, Jayden. Let's await our moment to enter battle.

(I read on your Database about a...you know being stored beneath Outpost Trilex. Should we use it in this roleplay or nah?) (Maybe c;)

Jayden nodded as well as she awaited for the transport to land... her expression then suddenly went from happy and friendly, to serious and battle-ready. What... just happened?

Quentin and Sophia noticed it but decided not to question it. They too awaited for the transport to land.

On the ground, the Outpost's personnel was fighting back against the Inquisitor Tanks that were attacking their foothold, along with the base's turrets. It was at that moment they saw the transports landing "Reinforcements! We got reinforcements!" One of the soldiers said.

The Inquisitors would notice the Zarvokian Regiment, but still remained confident in their ability to combat them. They awaited the Zarvokians' first move.

Now unfortunately for the Inquisitors... that would be a tremendous mistake, seeing how badly they kicked their asses in the first war. As such, giving them a chance to deploy their forces was a fundamental mistake, as the Holomane and Genesis Transports that landed, began deploying Zarvokian infantry and ground vehicles, in order to combat against the Inquisitor Tanks. The Holomane Transport with Jayden, Quentin, and Sophia would land first, opening it's side doors to let them out.

The Inquisitor Tanks were destroyed, though the Inquisitor Fighter Jets and Avenger managed to strike the Zarvokian infantry and ground vehicles from the air. Quentin and Sophia got off their Holomane Transport, and Quentin began firing his C-T34 Plasma Shotgun at any infantry within his range, while Sophia got up close and friendly with the infantry and picked them off with her M7-Y1 Plasma Swords.

Jayden herself was actually the first to come out of the transport, as she literally sped towards the Inquisitor infantry at max speed, quickly bringing out her M9-Z4 and DR-32 Plasma War-Axe, as she prepared to attack them in melee. As for the Zarvokian ground forces that were deployed or already on the ground due to being apart of the Outpost's personnel, there were indeed causalities, although somewhat minimal. Mostly deaths since it was a god damned airstrike, but some managed to make it out only wounded.

The TA-650 convoys that were there earlier had managed to escape from the area, bringing their Quartz-67 Corvette escorts with them, which meant this was a job for the fifteen Zarvokian MX46 Mobile Anti Air Vehicles, which most of them concentrated on the fighter jets with EB5 Surface to Air Missile Launchers, while four of them focused on the "Avenger" with their quad Antimatter/Dark Matter High Velocity Autocannons.

The fighter jets attempted to run evasive maneuvers as they attempted another airstrike, while the Avenger fired its weapons at the MX46s in an attempt to outnumber the Zarvokians. As for the Inquisitor infantries, there were quite some casualties caused by Jayden, Quentin and Sophia. Within the rear of the Avenger, some Inquisitors noticed the three going through the battlefield on computers that were inside the Avenger, so they contacted any ground vehicles and told them to move out of the way, which they did. As soon as the Inquisitors' ground vehicles were out the way, the Avenger crew tried to use the cannons to annihilate Jayden, Quentin and Sophia.

A blast hit the ground near Quentin and Sophia.

Sophia: What was that?!

Quentin: Up there, that helicopter/plane hybrid unit is trying to hit us!

Sophia: Looks like we'll have to depend on the MX46s to protect us!

The surface to air missiles that were fired by the MX46s continued to chase down the fighter jets at incredible speeds, which allowed the other MX46s to concentrate fire on the Avenger with their autocannons. The weapons fired by the Avenger would hit the shielding of the mobile land vehicles taking down a couple of their shields while the rest kept theirs, allowing them to concentrate heavily on the large aircraft.

Jayden on the other hand, had a blast nearly hit her as she skid to a halt, before looking up at the Avenger that had fired at her. Though seeing she couldn't do much against it, she just simply proceeded onwards carefully while attacking the Inquisitor infantry. The deployed Zarvokian infantry were also engaging the hostile Inquisitors, while a few Zarvokian Demolition Troopers tried their luck and fired Sermabin EMP Launchers at the Avenger, in an attempt to help the MX46s bring it down to an end.

Meanwhile, within the underground storages of Outpost Trilex beneath it's command center… something had been activated on it's own, within a stasis pod as well, which opened. The thing activated within the pod looked to be an automaton that looked similar to the Mark I Fulgore, except it's visor was different, it's armor plating different as well, and had miniguns for hands. It began making it's way across the storage unit, before entering what seemed to be an elevator... and then made it's way up to the surface.

(S**t's about to hit the fan with the Project Kilgore Prototype about to enter battle. o3o)

The Sermabin EMPs managed to hit the Avenger, causing its electronics to shut down and causing the Avenger to crash down onto the battlefield, killing any Inquisitor aboard the Avenger and any Inquistor ground vehicles and infantry that were near the Avenger when it crashed. The fighter jets were hit by the MX46s' missiles as they began to spiral out of control and collided into each other, killing the pilots.

Quentin and Sophia on the other hand continued to pick off Inquisitor infantry.

Sophia: This is a great way to put the skills I've learned so far to the test!

Quentin: You know it, sis! This chameleon still got it after doing time for a year!

Jayden on the other hand just kept going on the offensive, as well as the rest of the Zarvokian forces. They seemed to be pushing! That was... until sounds of plasma bolts firing could be heard from behind, taking the forces by surprise!

Sophia: What was that?

Quentin: I don't know...

Quentin and Sophia looked behind them.

Jayden and some of the Zarvokian ground forces were concentrated on the Inquisitors to turn around, though others did at the sounds. When they turned around, they could see that an automaton was firing at the Zarvokian forces from behind, of which it's surprise attack had managed to take out several Zarvokian troops before they could even react, despite their shielding. The automaton itself surprisingly looked like it was Zarvokian, though it also looked like it was glitching out… Unknown to all of them, it was the discarded prototype: Kilgore... and it looked like it had awakened itself from stasis!

Quentin: By Tetsu Katano's non-existent testicles, what's that?! (Who the hell is Tetsu Katano and how to they know it lol) (Tetsu Katano's a Sega of Japan employee who has produced and directed Sonic and the Black Knight, lol.)

Sophia: It appears to be an automaton, and it looks a lot like the Mark I Fulgore, but this one's hostile, as it is destroying our forces!

In turn, the Zarvokian forces that had noticed them getting suddenly flanked, had turned to return fire at the prototype Kilgore... which unfortunately, unlike the Mark I Fulgore, also had a plasma/energy shield layering, which in turn allowed it to fire at the Zarvokian forces as it pleased.

Quentin: Jayden, you might want to come look at this!

(Why aren't they doing anything!? XD) (I don't know. XD)

Jayden was... not within hearing range. In fact, thanks to her speed, she was pretty much on the front lines.

Quentin attempted to shoot Kilgore with his C-T34 Plasma Shotgun if he could get within range. The Zarvokian and Inquisitor forces fired at Kilgore as well.

Now unfortunately for the Inquisitors and Zarvokians on the front lines, they... couldn't quite get to Kilgore, as they were forced to battle themselves. The Zarvokians on the back lines however were able to, and managed to land many hits on Kilgore's shields... though, they were very durable, even tanking a medium ranged shot from Quentin's shot. This of course allowed Kilgore to retaliate by firing the plasma miniguns at the retaliating Zarvokians, while it's chest opened up and fired three small missiles at Quentin and even Sophia.

Quentin: Sophia, look out!

Quentin pushed Sophia out of the way to save her. Meanwhile, the Inquisitors on the front lines were busy fighting the Zarvokians on the front lines.

Jayden and the Zarvokians on the front lines would keep firing the Inquisitors, while the Zarvokians that weren't occupied with the Inquisitors were attempting to fend off the rogue Kilgore, whose missiles that were dodged by Sophia and Quentin had impacted the ground. It then concentrated it's plasma miniguns on the two, determined to take them out while ignoring the other Zarvokians.

Quentin grabbed his C-T34 Plasma Shotgun and fired more plasma shots at Kilgore, attempting to subdue him. Sophia stayed near Quentin for protection.

Thanks to the combined might of the Zarvokian forces and Quentin's attacks, Kilgore's shields were finally taken down, but not before it could fire another salvo of missiles at the two Sentriums, while it's miniguns were still firing at them.

Quentin and Sophia continued to dodge Kilgore's attacks, while Quentin tried to land more hits on Kilgore to send him packing.

After several seconds, Kilgore was finally brought down when a plasma shot to it's head was delivered, ultimately bringing it's demise. Of course, with help from the rest of the Zarvokians that had to defend themselves, as well as from Quentin's shotgun, it was pretty much rendered beyond repair, even for Zarvokian atom-construction technologies.

(R.I.P. Kilgore, lol.)

Quentin and Sophia took a moment to catch their breaths.

Sophia: Man, what was that...?

Quentin: Not sure...But I think Mr. Burns might know more about this...

They would see that the automaton was sparking out, implying it was glitching out the entire time, while Jayden was still fighting the Inquisitors with those on the front lines, assuming there were still any to fight that is.

As Jayden was finishing off the remaining Inquisitors at the scene, Quentin and Sophia looked at the destroyed Kilgore and the Zarvokian casualties it caused.

Sophia: Should we inform dad of what happened...?

Quentin: We should...

Quentin slid his BFT-Tactical HUD over his eyes and contacted Lucas back at Fort Zarvok in Downunda. Lucas answered immediately.

Lucas: Hey, son. You all right? Did you get the Inquisitors who were attacking Outpost Trilex?

Quentin: Well, yes, and we also had a large amount of Zarvokian casualties...

Lucas: Huh? How did that happen?

Quentin: You probably won't believe this, but...There was an automaton, that looked similar to the Mark I Fulgore, and it also looked like it was made by Zarvokians, but it attacked our forces. We managed to bring it down. Could you inform Mr. Burns on what happened?

Lucas: Sure, son. Stay safe, okay?

Quentin: We will, dad.

Lucas then ended the transmission and contacted Adex with his HUD.

"...Mm?" Adex mouthed to himself upon hearing the attempt to hail him, before he answered using his own BFT-HUD "Yes?"

Lucas: Sir, I just got a call from Quentin. He told us they managed to defeat a lot of Inquisitors, but we also have a lot of Zarvokian casualties.

"...So I see. The Inquisitors seemed to have stepped up their game, it seems" Adex replied.

Lucas: Well, according to Quentin, most of the Zarvokian casualties were caused by an automaton that looked similar to our Mark I Fulgore, and also looked like it was created by our people. Quentin said it was killing our people, but he and the other Zarvokians managed to destroy it. Do you happen to know anything about this automaton, sir?

". . ." Adex was silent to reply. But... why?

Lucas: ...Sir?

"...You're aware of Project: Kilgore, no?" He said finally.

Lucas: I am, sir. This project is why we have Fulgore. This automaton that attacked our forces at Outpost Trilex...Was it part of the project too?

"...It was the very prototype that we used as a template for Fulgore. After an... unfortunate accident regarding an RnD team, it was sent to the outpost and sealed away... I'm surprised it became active again" He said.

Lucas was silent for a moment, taking it all in.

Lucas: Yes, sir, I'm surprised it became active again too. But Quentin and our people managed to take it down and stop it from hurting anyone else.

"...Very good then. Now... what of the Inquisitors?" He asked.

Lucas: I think we should continue to take out the Inquisitors' operations across Mobius. I'm going to do some research and then I'll give Jayden, Quentin and Sophia, as well as what's left of the 1st Zarvokian Support Regiment their next target.

"...That's what I figured Colonel, but I'm referring to their attack on the outpost itself" He said.

Lucas: Oh, I see.

Lucas brought out a map of Outpost Trilex on his BFT-HUD while still conversing with Adex.

Lucas: The Inquisitors did quite a number on the outpost's shields, and a huge amount of the outpost's personnel has been murdered.

"...I see. But was the attack repelled?" He asked.

Lucas: According to the radar that comes with the outpost's map, I see no more Inquisitors standing, sir.

"So the attack has been repelled? ...Very well. Tell them to await further orders until we figure out where they're operating from" He said.

Lucas: You got it, sir.

Lucas then ended the conversation with Adex and then contacted Quentin again.

Quentin: Hey, pops. So, did you inform Mr. Burns on what happened?

Lucas: Yes, I have. Now you, Sophia, Jayden and what's left of the 1st Zarvokian Support Regiment have to await further orders until we figure out where they're operating from.

Quentin: You got me, pops.

Lucas: Okay. Once again, stay safe.

Quentin: We will, pops.

Quentin then ended the conversation as he looked at what's left of the regiment they came with.

Quentin: Attention, everyone. May I have your attention, please?

The rest of the regiment was... not paying a single damn mind to them as they were just waiting for an actual commanding officer to respond to them. A few did take a glance at him, but they just returned back to their business. Jayden on the other hand... ran immediately up to Quentin and Sophia before stopping in front of them "Hi!" She said happily to them... oddly enough she was just acting serious a second ago.

Sophia: Hey, Jayden! You alright?

"Mm-hm! Not a scratch on me!" Jayden said with a happy giggle.

Sophia: Okay. While you were busy with those Inquisitors, Quentin and I had our hands full with that piece of scrap metal over there.

She pointed to the remains of the glitched out Kilgore Prototype.
