The Only Thing They Fear Is You from DOOM Eternal begins to play through her head as Prima whips out the chain with the blade and enters the chaos, using primarily the blade to slice the soldiers in half, decapitate, immobilize, and more, she seemed to be matching the music with her movements, flawlessly. Suddenly, she felt a shake in the ground as she looked down, then looked off in the distance as a giant mech – at least 100ft tall – rises from the ground. Equiped with a cannon and a drill arms. blimps, more tanks, drills, and so much more emerging. the hell did they get a hundred-foot-tall mech!?

She snarls as she clenches her fist

"I'm gonna Rip & tear you all apart." She muttered to herself as she whipped out her own Particle Accelerator. She felt an anger like none she's ever felt flood her mind as she sees things no one should ever see, things that will help her kill.

Her eyes roll back into their sockets as she seems to go rabid.

Then she lets out an ear-piercing screech, her hands seem to cause the chain to heat up to thousands of degrees, and still, it doesn't melt.

Then she charges at the army, running on all fours


Meanwhile, in a hospital some distance away, Noell lays Luna in a medical bed, Kirk sitting in a chair in the back of the room

"Are you okay, Luna? Do you need anything? Food? Water? Snuggles?"

"Noell, I'm - *cough* - I'm okay. I just need some rest, that's all" Luna groaned

"I'm really worried for you."

"Hey, baby." Luna placed her shaking hand on my cheek

"There's nothing to be worried about, I'm not dying, I don't plan to leave my love anytime soon." A tear forms in my eyes, even though she's not dying, I can't help but hold in a sob
I hug her gently
"You have no idea how worried I am for you." I say between forming tears and quick gasps for air
"I'm so sorry I let this happen, this is all my fault." I say with tears rolling down my cheeks

"No, no, it's not." She said, comforting me

"You shouldn't've saved me, It'd be best I die then let you get hit by several pieces of shrapnel." she chuckled.


Meanwhile, Prima was slicing through hordes of soldiers, she spins as the giant blade slices a large circle of soldiers in half, she tosses the chain blade up at one of the huge drills as she lunges at a turret on top, she wraps the chain around the turret, she tugged as a chain blew up from the turret, the entire huge drill blowing up as she tosses the blade at one of the blimps in the sky and pulls herself up to it, she puts the blade away as she's greeted with a barrage of bullets, she doesn't hesitate and spins out her Particle Accelerator.

"I'm gonna evaporate you all" She growled as the gun charged up until it was spinning at the speed of sound, she let go as a shockwave of cyan death blasted out in all directions - not hitting her - as everything it touched was incinerated, she tossed the gun to the side as she whipped out the chain blade once more to dash beside a line of soldiers, blade trailing behind her as it slices them clean in half, she cuts a hole in the blimp as she looks up to see the giant mech is all that's left, she winds up and tosses her blade at the shoulder of the mech, then yanking on the chain to pull herself up to it, landing on the right shoulder, the mech somehow didn't notice her, but did notice her destruction.

These old mining mechs – that looked like devastator from transformers- were late 2030s tech, so by this point it was old and rusty. It never got updated as companies started to use lasers and holographic imaging and whatnot. The outdated mechs were retired and some were turned into deep sea exploration vessels while others were just put into storage, however, looks like this one got a makeover. Also, most of the mechs had huge cavities in the chest and head – where the pilot and more important components were.

She looked around for a way in and found a hatch near the neck. She ran over and slid to a stop, jamming her knife under it as she did so. She used the hard edge to lever the rusted hatch open, jumping in and sliding down the ladder. Once inside she immediately took fire. She dove behind a steel beam as bullets pinged and sparks flew around her. Staying in cover she blindly swung the chain blade towards the source of the gunfire. She heard a pained scream and the gunfire ceased. She took off down the tunnel, running past 2 men cleaved in two. She reached an industrial-looking lift and slammed the up button. She felt the lift slowly move along tracks engraved in 4 evenly spaced pillars.

She stands there for a few seconds before getting bored
"Okay, this is taking way too long." She said as she put away her weapons and began to climb the pillars like a squirrel climbing a tree. She reached the top of the shaft in less than half the time it would have taken, had she stayed on the lift. Greeting her was – excluding the huge hole where the lift would be stopping at the top of – was a man, wearing modern aviator clothing, he looked old, and as he turned around, her suspicions were only proven as he was revealed to be a man around his mid-50's, piloting an entire damn mech. She clenched her fists as she growled. As she pulled out another Particle Accelerator, aiming it right at the forehead of the man.

"I'm gonna ask once."
"Who do you work for, and what are your intentions" She asked as she stepped closer to the man, but the man didn't flinch
He just... Stared at her with a wide smile."

"Don't think you're intimidating me." She hissed.

"I am not trying to." he said kindly.

She squinted. "Then what are you trying to do?"

"Escape." he said shaking his foot, Revealing a shacked ankle. She was taken aback by his words. "You're a prisoner." She knew that often these mechs used prisoners as a workforce. And most often it used prisoners with a shorter sentence, 3 years left, work here for a year and your sentence is done.

"How do I know you're not tricking me?" She said, uncertain.

"You don't, but I was supposed to get out today. I was arrested for manslaughter. I hunted down the man who molested my daughter. And I beat him to a pulp. And I was given a 40-year sentence." he said with a smile.

"And why exactly are you smiling?" She squinted.
"Nobody would smile at that unless they came up with to get out of a giant mech and destroy more of the world, with more tech from 20 years ago."
"Besides, with this power, why not just destroy the facility "keeping you hostage"?"
"You can't trick me."
"Tell me the truth."

"I'm shackled to this console; I can't move around.

She growled "That doesn't answer my questions."
"Truth, now."
"I won't hesitate to shoot you, prisoner or not."

"Give me everything." She snarled.

"I can't dipshit, I'm a prisoner. The guards don't tell me shit. Now either let me go or fuck off furry."

"Seriously? Don't even know like- What prison you go to or what the layout is?"

"I'm sorry for my outrage miss. That door is the command center." he said pointing over his shoulder.

"Go on." He pressed a button and the door's keypad bleeped green.

"Just give me any sort of knowledge you have, something you overheard, prison location, anything about the organization, anything."
"That's all I ask."
"I just need something."

"The other night the guards were talking about army personnel taking over command for "routine training exercises". That's all I know, again, I'm just a lowly station operator." "Perfect." Prima whipped out her chain blade and swung it several times, but as the prisoner was expecting to be sliced in half, he felt the pressure of the chains digging into his wrists and ankles fall off, he looks down to see he's no longer chained to the controls, but he looked back to see that Prima was... Gone, no trace of her being there.
