Nanuk P.O.V.

     Once we had returned to the remains of the explosion, the Basilicom was barely intact.

-"Pryce. Damage report." I said.

     Pryce scanned the area before speaking up.

-"We have suffered critical damage to all major systems, Diamond. It will be some time before we can get the Basilicom and surrounding buildings up and running again." he said.

-"Ruby." I said.

     Ruby displayed a video feed on my visor. It showed the last few minutes before the power surge. It showed a very glitchy silhouette of someone raging and then pressing a button on some sort of keypad.

-"So it was a person who crippled our nation. Whoever it is will move quickly to exploit any perceived weakness." I said.

-"Surely they aren't foolish enough to launch a direct assault, Diamond?" Pryce said.

-"If it's who I think it is, he has grown decidedly more ruthless since our previous battle...but I have an idea." I said.

-"What is it?" Histy asked.

-"Follow me." I said as I made my way to the place where the maximum security used to be.

     Thankfully, it was still intact. We entered the busted door and I quickly found what I needed. We both left again and headed to the remains of the power core. Once we arrived I pulled out the object I obtained earlier and was about to insert it into the core but Histy stopped me.

-"Nanuk! What are you doing?" she asked.

-"I'm following my idea." I said.

-"Nanuk, as Planeptune's Oracle, I strongly advise against this. A CPU core's regenerative properties are impressive, but the side effects...there's no telling how it might impact the Basilicom." 

-"All of us have CPU cores in us. Infusing the Basilicom with one will allow any CPU of Planeptune to manipulate the Basilicom as if they were one...and together, we'll finally end Anonydeath."

??? P.O.V.

-"You fool! How were you not able to take over with your new ability?! So much for your precious army..." Anonydeath said.

-"I know, but we should hit them right now while they're vulnerable!" I said.

-"Hold on you narcissist, Nanuk's nation may be grounded, but let's not forget that we remain vastly outnumbered. Especially since he has somehow added your former army to his ranks." 

-"Then maybe it's time for me to assemble my drone airstrike."

-"Or for us to consider more extreme measures, my dear..."

     We went to the storage facility and I opened the gate with the most destructive weapon we have.

-"This relic? Anonydeath, are you sure you want to do this?" I asked.

-"While I am reluctant to deploy a weapon of such extreme caliber, especially one that was forged by the ancient's hands, this may be our only chance to rid this world of him...of all of them." he said.

Nanuk P.O.V.

     The somehow still functional mechanical arm grabbed the CPU core and inserted it into the firebox entrance. I know it isn't a good idea to burn the energy of a CPU core, since it can be used for something that can give eternal power, but this is our only option to get the Basilicom back instantly. There was a short delay before I felt the power from the power core increase. The color of light emanating from the machine changed from its usual color to a radiant purple. Suddenly the parts of the Basilicom that used to be on the ground raised and reattached to the overall form of the Basilicom. For some reason however, the Basilicom was...changing. It was transforming! I didn't think of this! It's changing into its own CPU mode! After the tremors and massive shock waves of the transformation ended, Histy and I returned to the balcony except...it wasn't a balcony anymore...
