The elevator finally reached the top floor, M4 was frantic searching for any sign of the commander. See what she didn't tell anyone, but shared the same feeling with many others, they all looked up to the Commander as a parental figure. As they do with Persicaria...

"We must find him! Auntie why the fuck would you do this?!?" She screamed half in rage and half in hurt.

"He overrode my orders... he had planned this... he truly wanted all of you safe so sacrificed himself."

"No..." Scarecrow arguable cared more for him than anyone... well save for Sop... "Don't tell me he's dead..."

"No he's not. Trust me he's very much alive, she would want him alive."

They finally reached the entrance... it was a massacre... broken robot parts littered the area and what most peculiar... boiling purple blood..

"I'll be damned... she managed to hurt him... he's not going to let that go..."

"I don't think anyone, even a Doll, could survive such loss of fluid..." Agent had yet to be filled in on what Kaiser truly was and as such thought him just a special mortal "Agent..." Destroyer noted "The Commander took the brunt of my attacks. He even took a charged laser barrage from Scarecrow."

She was shocked to hear, yes Scarecrow wasn't a fighter like her or Destroyer but she could melt metal if given the chance.. and he survived?

M4 found something under a robots hand, "Hey what's this?" She picked it up, it was a tablet, scratched some but working still. On the front it blared a message [CONNECT TO AUNTIE] in bolden letters..

"I cannot believe it to be here..." the A.I. showed an emotion none of them saw from her up until that point... genuine surprise. This sparked M4's curiosity "Auntie... what is this?"

"Plug it into me, and I'll show her to you."

M4 did as asked, connecting the tablet to Aunties console... on the front a white screen flashed and then appeared what seemed to be a broken and destroyed classroom, and in that classroom was-

"Arona? Darling is that really you??" Her sudden voice caused the girl on the screen to spin around "Auntie! It's been such time- wait..." she stopped and looked worried "Where's sensei..?"

Auntie appeared for once, in her holographic form. Glowing as green as ever but with a somber expression... "Little one... I am sorry, he was taken by a bad woman."

Arona's face went through many emotions before her halo turned red with anger she looked past the A.I. in front of her and peered directly at M4 "Where is sensei."

Somewhere in an underground facility.

Kaiser would admit... being nigh immortal was now not a good thing. Seeing as "Briggs" knew his abilities... she even left two advanced "Dolls" with highly advanced weapons trained on him.

"You know... thought I'd seen nough' of you back at Port.." he spat blood at the thought "I didn't expect your leader to survive our last spar. I mean I did take her arm after all!"

To everyone else on this planet those were regular T-Dolls.. but he knew better.. he knew them as Sirens.

But what caught his hearing was a stifled noise from above, and so looking up he found eyes peering back at him slowly pointing towards the guards.

"Hehehahaha-" he managed to stand from the chains "Hey you two thud fucks! Got somethin for ya!" Both guards under orders to subdue him should he become rowdy came to do just that... only... they didn't get the chance...

With one swift motion the vent on the ceiling gave way allowing an armored person to jump down and swiftly neutralize the siren guards before turning to him.

"Well well, if it ain't the infamous Commander I've heard so much about. Let's get you out of those chains then, shall we?"

He went to break the chains and free the commander only to step back when Kaiser stood up "I got em, thank you though. Mind telling me who you are?"

The figured looked up, he was briefed on how tall the commander was but never actually believed it "Huh.. Big boy eats his veggies, Well I'm the one rescuing you on behalf of Kryuger. Names Price. Captain Price."

"Now I know you being a commander and all, but I hope you know how to fight-" he didn't get a chance to continue two more "Dolls" entered but were subdued by Kaiser as he turned to Price "That answer your question?"

"Now I know you being a commander and all, but I hope you know how to fight-" he didn't get a chance to continue two more "Dolls" entered but were subdued by Kaiser as he turned to Price "That answer your question?"

Somewhere minutes later.

"So we can only assume The Captain made it in and has successfully gotten to the Commander. So all we gotta do, is provide a distraction?" A voice rang above the others, she sounded tired yet confident in her abilities "Yes. Hoshino, you are going to help us rescue him."

Before the rest could agree Scarecrow ran into the makeshift command center "Price started! Hells about to boil over we gotta go now!"

Current time, inside base

Kaiser knew she was doing things... but kidnapping civilians and soldiers of war, Torturing them and turning them into... things?

"Price." He stated calmly "What's the time crunch?"

Taking a look at his watch "We aren't on too much of a time restraint. But it be best we don't dawdle. Why?"

Price turned around to see the Commanders eyes full of metaphorical fire "We? We are gonna rescue some friends. And I'm going to extract what I'm owed."

Captain Price wasn't a superstitious man, quite the opposite really but he swore up and down even to this day... he could see a halo and wings on the man...

"Got it. I'll radio out we'll bring friends."
