"I don't trust this..." Millenicel hovered over the Shutenghen that Kira had landed inside.

"Don't trust what?" Kira asked; the U.A. soldiers around her were arresting anyone they could find anywhere on the ship.

"The A.I. from the Humans", Millenicel explained. "They clearly knew where Alexis was yet didn't tell us... about that OR that new gunship of theirs".

"Well they also refuse to explain how the starial shields are created, maybe they are just secretive", Kira said as she looked at her arms.

"I KNOW they are secretive!" Millenicel complained. "The question is 'why?'"

"Well maybe they don't want to reveal their technology? Your race isn't exactly the most trustworthy".

"Hmm".

"Elite Destiny", Alpha said as he tore off the restraints holding the blonde. "We have come to help".

Alexis rubbed her sore wrists where the restraints has been, "I can see that. But that isn't all you want, is it?" Her tone was that of an annoyed, disappointed, young woman.

Fated noticed that she had noticed the giant blue crate on their gunship, "You're under no obligation to look inside or use it".

"Just open it and get it over with", Alexis sighed refusing to admit her own curiosity.

"Why you so mad anyway?" Vice asked.

"This coming from you", Alexis walked over to the crate. "I just learnt that my sister had miraculously survived... only for Millenicel to have then killed her again". The A.I. all looked at each other; no one corrected her.

"Perfect time to get revenge then", Fated spoke as he pressed a button on the side of the capsule. It opened up and on one side was an A.M.R.: it was the Darkcrusher equipped with Irhapas, a Moirai, and a plain Wyperian claymore blade. But these things weren't what caught Alexis's eye; her attention had been captivated by what was on the other side. A large, winged, backpack that had two arms attached to the bottom that drooped down. At the end of these arms, were small clasps that could holster the Irhapas; this left room on her assault belt to attach the claymore.

Accompanying this backpack were two large thrusters that would attach onto the Darkcrusher's shoulder engines and boost their power. Both of these matched the colour-scheme of the base A.M.R.

"The case has equipping capabilities", Fated explained. "We did bring a spare under-suit, but it looks like those assassin's didn't try to take you out of it, even if they did remove the A.M.R. itself".

Alexis couldn't deny her intrigue, "So I can just step in front of this and get myself an upgraded version of Darkcrusher along with a jetpack?"

"The official term is 'Flight Pack', but yes", Fated concluded as he prepped the case to equip Alexis, predicting her next request. She stood in the middle of the case and it immediately began magnetically attaching the armoured pieces to her under-suit and locking them in place. A few minutes later, she was in her new A.M.R., looking through the manual as the flight pack attached itself onto her back, and the large thrusters onto her shoulders.

"Oh, and you'll need this", Coru came over to her with a helmet with an integrated visor system. The visor covered her face and had a dark, mirror-finish to it. "This helmet uses tele-mag technology to provide you with a constant supply of oxygen whilst venting the carbon dioxide out".
