"[i]Bingo[/i]!" Kainé exclaimed. He had finally found where the bastards were hiding. A fresh glint went past Nox's ocular visors as it moved with a new objective.
Dozens of Mobile Suits and automated defense systems focused on Kainé but he didn't care.
The target was straight ahead. To our dimensional traveler nothing else mattered.
Countless shells, beams and missiles impacted with Nox's armor as it slowly approached the tallest building on the base.
Whatever the Titans were doing it seemed absolutely futile.
"[i]Ignis, prepare that thing![/i]"
"[i]Excuse me?[/i]"
"[i]You know, [/i][b]THAT THING[/b]!"
"[i]Kainé in our present state I don't believe that's a good ide-[/i]"
"[i]So? I'm annoyed as hell. Might as well get some fun out of this stupid chase. Prepare the BHD right now! Use minimum output if necessary![/i]"
"[b]Black Hole Destructor[/b] [i]initializing. Causality intervention system active. Gravity projectors charging. Starting countdown. Ten.[/i]"
Nox raised its right arm. Waves of invisible gravity gathered around that fist. Something terrible was about to make its presence.
"[i]Nine. Gravity emitters online. Eight.[/i]"
In that instant all windows simultaneously broke from an unseen force. Gravity increased to twice its normal value. It was as if even the air come to a standstill.
"[i]Seven. Six. Schwartzschild generator standby. Condensing...[/i]"
Nox opened its palm revealing a dark spherical object.
It was a micro black hole spinning at incredible velocity.
"[i]Five. Four. Three.[/i]"
Starting out at the size of a pinhead the black hole rapidly grew.
"[i]Two. One. Proximity data set. Event horizon is stable. Everything is operational. Black Hole Destructor is ready to fire.[/i]"
Nox held a black hole with the size of its own palm, spinning at maddening speed and crackling with electricity.
"[i]Nice! I can never get enough of this. You know what's better? Time for another physics lesson![/i]"
Nox adjusted its posture while moving the arm that hold the black hole backwards.
"[i]Hey Titans! Catch this![/i]" Kainé shouted within the confines of his cockpit.
With that Nox threw the black hole like it were an oversized football. The sphere of eternal darkness rotated wildly, unleashing lightning strikes and eating anything in its immediate radius. It flew straight for the Titans' HQ. They didn't even have the time to feel dread as the black hole squashed against the building and mysteriously brought to a stop. It generated a hellish vortex of inescapable gravity absorbing matter, light, information and even the vacuum of space. The effects were strictly kept to the confines of the Titan's HQ, sparing the rest of the environment of the apocalypse.
Annihilation. Nothingness. Both of these words are too kind compared to the fate of that building. The structure, the people, the surroundings even the space it occupied were erased like they never existed before.
Yet it did. Just moments before there was a full-scale Titans field headquarters with over 10 officers and overall a hundred other personnel. Everyone knew this. Still, that information was gone. Like a void in their consciousness. What they saw was the scene of absolute terror.
"[i]Oh wow! All in one go! That's what you get for not minding your own business![/i]"
"[i]Kainé, I believe this goes way beyond overkill.[/i]"
"[i]Sure did. It gets me shivers to think this is Nox with only 25% of its functions restored. I start to believe there's more to this machine than we could ever imagine.[/i]"
"[i]I agree. Hopefully everything becomes clear once our memories are fully restored.[/i]"
"[i]Yes, you can be-[/i]"
Suddenly high-powered beams cut through multiple buildings, with their final destination being Nox.
Even if it was just an act out of pure instinct that was the very first time Kainé actually dodged a shot from the enemy.
"[i]Tch. It's them. Guess it's time to say my greetings, don't you agree?[/i]"
"[i]Kainé, escaping is our primary objective! With the Titans' field HQ destroyed they can no longer mount an organized attack against us. I suggest you to...[/i]"
"[i]I know! I know! But until I don't deal with these four I doubt we can really run away, can't we? Then I have no choice. Give them the fight they want![/i]"
"[i]Understood.[/i]"
"[i]I make sure to give them a taste of hell![/i]"
With that Nox assumed a fighting stance. Several beam launcher shots approached but Nox redirected the stream of particles with carefully calculated backhands.
"[i]Enemy warheads, 3:20![/i]" Ignis informed him. They were bazooka projectiles. Nox lazily flicked them away with its index finger. The shells flew backwards dozens of meters before exploding.
"[i]Is this the best you can do? Come on![/i]" Kainé mocked his enemies but without working comms they'd never hear him.
"[i]Enemy M-Particle readings, 12 o'clock![/i]"
"[i]About damn time![/i]" Kainé shouted, facing the mysterious magical mech for the third time.
Kainé saw the grappling hook and avoided it with a quick sidestep. Once the hook passed him Nox grabbed the wire and began to swing it around.
Kainé planned throw the enemy mech by its own wire, making it crash with the hard asphalt.
It was past 7PM and the sunset covered everything in orange.
The following hours might be latter dubbed as the night of terror.
