"Aargh! Damnit!" Fox gritted his teeth as he has once again lost sight of his target, one of the infamous leaders of the Illuminate that had began terrorizing the government for a few years now.

Everything he tried to capture or corner the man, he always had a trick up his sleeve and manages to escape from even impossible odds as if God was on his side.

"Another fail I see." Fox sighed seeing his colleague who stood outside of the medical bay of their mobile command ship.

"Doesn't it always end like that? I mean the guy always gets away no matter how far we plan ahead of him, Eagle." Another familiar colleagues of his said.

"No, shit Falcon have you seen what that bastard unleash this morning? That thing absolutely demolished an entire mirror city on its own." The trio shuddered at the reminder.

"Archon always a tricky bastard it's not easy to guess what will happen whenever we encounter him." Fox remarked as he grunted at the sudden shot on his shoulder.

"Well he certainly went over the top this time, I still don't understand how he is able to deploy that mirror dimension so easily, no technology had ever shown such subtle precision in dimensional or spacial Manipulation." Falcon added.

"Not one we know for sure but Archon and the Illuminate had certainly gotten themselves the high tech that we don't, makes you wonder what other things they may be hiding." Eagle said with a sigh.

"Exotic Teleportation, greater control over dimensions and time-space, weapons that don't make any sense and defies almost every law we know, I'm starting to see a grim picture at what we are up against." Fox held a grim face.

"What's the effect did Archon do this time?" Fox asked knowing that every time he escapes, crimes are exposed to the wider galaxy.

"Good news or bad news?" Falcon asked. "Bad news." Fox replied knowing what the likely result will be.

"Bad news is the government face a new blow to the face, some senators are being put on trial and others are under heavy scrutiny." Falcon explained.

"The good news is that it's not only our government who got blown Bad." Eagle added as Falcon nodded in agreement.

"Let me guess, the Ilraya Empire has it's own smear that they're desperately trying to clean up." Both men nodded.

"It makes me wonder how Estel and her team thinks of this? I mean after all some of the released evidences did affect her family image just a year ago, she's not a fan of the man." Falcon wondered outloud.

"She is probably enraged at Archon and swears to gut him up if she manages to get a hold of him." Fox replied just as he was fully healed.

"Ah! There you are my boy, how are you feeling?" The trio looked to see a man in his mid thirties enter while wearing a lab coat.

"Director Orion." The three man stood in attention at the head of psionic research department arrival who work part of the division tasked to hunt down the Illuminate.

"At ease, I'm just a professor not some general, how is your health today? I had heard of the news and noted some effects that got imprinted on your latest encounter with Archon." Orion asked.

"Good as it'll ever, bastard threw off some psychic attack on me, can't say what it does, your the expert in this so I will leave this to you Director." Orion nodded as Snow followed behind him.

"Hey?! Isn't it little Snow? Haven't seen you in a while kiddo? How have you been?" Falcon asked as he knelt down.

"I'm good uncle Fal, papa took me out to the park a while ago and had fun." Snow happily said as she much on some treats Orion bought.
