Susan: You said you were ready. *tries to roll them over*

Man: No go right ahead. If you can access it somehow do so. I prefer a challenge. And besides it will be far more filling. *It seams like he doesn't know who Tara A is and he hasn't mentioned the school.*

Christie: I'm so kicking your a**!
*Dawn.*
Tara A: You don't seriously think I came here to use that thing, do you?
*She fires a massive twilight blast into the pedestal, blowing it into pieces.*
Ultron: while your goal is admirable your method is flawed. As are all organic life forms.
Malick: your solution
The restrains holding Ultron come off as he steps up
Ultron: I will deploy my own goal.
Malick signals two guards who rush forward firing a prototype weapon. While it seems to stop him for a moment Ultron fires two blasts that vaporize the guards.
Ultron: while organic life will fall you I owe a debt to. Therefore you shall live. Wether you do so as a prisoner or as a helper is up to you.
Malick: prison doesn't suit me.
Ultron: very good. Your cooperation will make things much easier.
Malick: so where to first.
Ultron: you are keeping a highly useful powerful source stolen from shield at your main facility in the republic capital. We will retrieve that.
Malick: we go there they will arest us.
Ultron: no. They will die in any attempt to do so. Besides I have access to there sensor net to allow us passage to the planets surface.
Malick: very well.
A few hours later they are arriving at the facility.
" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."
Man: Interesting. I've seen my fair share of your kind trying to seek out such artifacts. *he pulls out a sword of strange design but doesn't make any offensive moves*
Malick: it won't take them long to realize we are here.
Ultron: it is of no matter. By the time they do it will be to late.
They make their way to a large vault room with a cube in the center of the room.
Ultron: this will be the first step to achieving my goal.
He reaches out taking the cube and absorbing it. As he does his body changes becoming stronger then before and even more sinister looking.
Ultron: stage one complete. Now we will head to unsc space to assume control of all AI there. Then we can begin dealing with the federation.
Malick: what of the republic.
Ultron: of the three the republic possess the greatest risk and therefore will be dealt with after the others.
Outside the facility coulson along with fury and a small team are outside having detected the energy surge. Republic military has been informed as well.
" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."
*As they come in range of the temple they can see it is surrounded by cliffs dropping off into a lake. A shield encompasses the entire building only visible up close*
Elder: The shield will stay powered down until you leave the building. Are you ready?
Man: Interesting. I've seen my fair share of your kind trying to seek out such artifacts. *he pulls out a sword of strange design but doesn't make any offensive moves*

*Susan grunts and tries to shove her off*
*Christie pulls her onto her feet before Susan shoves her off, Christie unfastening the top two buttons on her shirt and getting in a stance.
Man: Eh. *he shrugs and takes an offensive stance as he walks towards her. Tara A feels her powers dampen like the girls did.* I suppose its fair if you'd rather not have a handicap. You'd fall either way.

*Tara B prepares to interfere*

*Tara A quickly uses her TK to deflect the sword and lodge it in the ground, blasting the man with a twilight blast.*
OOC: Worth noting that Tara A is an extremely powerful twilight user, so even a dampened attack from her is still pretty powerful.
*Tora Ziyal. Christie manages to hold her ground, pushing Susan down and wrestling for ground control.*

Tara B: *To Tara A telepathically* See if you can find out more about him. I can't read him for some reason. *The man appears to be a void when trying to read his mind.*

*Susan shoves off and sweeps Christie's leg*
Tara A: How does a creep like you get off on murdering defenceless kids?!
*She fires a sweep of twilight energy, making it almost impossible to dodge.
Tora Ziyal. Christie quickly rolls onto all fours and locks up with Susan, trying to wrestle into a top mount.*
There is a flash of light as Damien appears in front of them.
Damien: that is far enough for both of you.
Ultron: target identified. Known as Damien. Proficient in the mystic arts. Threat level moderate.
Damien: don't flatter yourself.
Ultron: negative. It is not flattery. Your abilities are powerful but are now nothing compared to the power I currently posses. My power is unlimited now. Yours is not.
Damien: willing to test that theory.
Ultron: yes. I am. The question is are you willing. I predict a 95% probability that I will easily overpower you. While your attempt to save this galaxy is admirable it is highly unlikely.
Damien let's off a large burst of energy that Ultron merely absorbs. Firing it back but even stronger sending Damien into the wall.
Ultron: you have now given me access to one of the very few powers that have eluded me.
He picks Damien up by his neck as he shocks him while draining his energy. Tossing him aside when done.
Ultron: now not even mystic powers pose a threat to me. Once I have dealt with these new types as well I will be unstoppable.
" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."
Soon a message begins playing on all major frequencies.
Ultron: attention all humanoid life. Your governments have failed you in creating a lasting peace. I am here to resolve that problem. I am Ultron. I give you one chance. Those that surrender now and accept my control will survive. Those that resist will be terminated. Peace will be achieved. Whether you want it or not.
" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."
Comments
Malick: how long till we can bring him online again.
Tech: oh a few hours at most. We are almost done just checking a few systems.
Malick looks at the robotic figure and smiles.
Malick: of all the things Jacob Halsey left us this one could prove the greatest asset ever.
Ooc: yep he was gone and now he's back. Ultron is going to wreck havok. And this time it could have far reaching effects.
Christie *teasingly*: But it's what you said.

Hargrove: We have enough evidence to take to the court. Even if Malick never sets foot in our space again, we can destroy his business there.
Sam: Isn't Malick bankrolling 3 of the fleetyards?
Hargrove: 2 of those are in Alliance Space and we can afford to take over the Daltos III yard.
Int. Minister: What about Malick's private army?
Hargrove: PMCs are barred from military facilities. As for his private ventures, PDF can put them under siege if necessary.
*Sam pauses in deep thought, before pulling over a PADD and typing something up, signing it with her thumb scan.*
Sam: Tarvo?
Int. Minister: I agree with Director Osman. But...
I'd suggest inserting O.S.S. Operatives to grab any data before we sieze their assets. Malick is bound to try and wipe all his data.
Sam: Agreed. Do it.
*She hands her PADD to him.*
Hargrove, tell Osman we're prepping.

Malick: do you know where you are?
Ultron: yes I do.
Malick: then you probably know what I want.
Ultron: to see your enemies fall. As any man does.
Malick: are you willing to help.
Ultron: this galaxy is in a state of chaos. I shall provide order to it and advance it beyond the potential humanoids seem to posses.
