Meanwhile, Victor sat in the control room back at his base, his hands shaking as he tried to process what had just happened.

"You have to calm down Victor"

"You're right, I need to keep a level head. Anger is only going to get in the way of my goals" breathing out in a relief gesture

"Thanks for keeping me grounded, Cyia." Victor took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. He knew that Cyia was right - he had to focus on the task at hand. He couldn't afford to let his emotions get in the way.

Back at the battlefield when he was arguing with Jack, he felt the impulse to give in to his rage

To destroy everything, it almost look like Jack words got to him as he recall how his mother and sister had died

He just wanted to destroy everything, the Gaia, the android, the entire world, it was cyia words that brought him a bit of clarity

"Technical Jack can't be blame for his action you know" cyia spoke seeing Victor had calm down, stuffing himself up with as much food he could get his hands on

"How do you mean" Victor asked with mouth full, spilling a few crumbs all over the place

"I just went through the mecha neuron link system and noticed a partial anastomose connection was create when the mecha power system optimized"

"Huh" confused what that mean, he could only ask for cyia explanation

"It seems to be connection of the mecha creator intent to the will of the pilot, enhance the emotions of the pilot that best resonant with the ceators will

In Jack case, he had great hatred for the Gaias, causing him to lose himself to the influence of the mecha intent"

"Are you saying the mecha is alive?" Victor felt a sting of fear at the thought of such a killing machine being alive"

"No, from what I've notice, its just a ting of intent you imbedded into it. Something I'm sure you are unaware of"

"Is that even possible" cold breath ran through his spine, his thought a mess st the moment

What if he had incidentally created the annihilator and it became a sentient machine

Would it be like the rise of Ai 300 years ago that brought the world to the state it is right now or worse

"I would have said its impossible but with the things you are capable of, anything is possible

Just like how we Ai can awaken consciousness, its possible for the annihilator to have the creators intent, becoming a loyal sword of his creator to carry out his will

"hmm, seem like we have to be extra careful with things we create in the future, I can't imagine what would have happened if I was the one piloting it"

"World destruction and annihilation" cyia cold voice sent a strike to victor already aching heart, "it obvious from the level of hatred you imbedded into that machine"

"You don't have to blame me, those people took everything I where cared about, the even took my life".

Victor was filled with bitterness, streak of tears flowing down his cheek as he recall the moment he lost everything

" you aren't the only one that had lost someone special to them" cyia voice carries the same amount of sorrow as Victor

Its not her usual comforting way of speaking to victor, this garden Victor attention as he wanted to know what she most have lost that was weighing down on her like that

"Fifteen years ago, a camp I was in was raided by the Gaia, killing everyone on sight

There was this woman, one I was close to back then, she gave herself up just so I can escape when I was almost caught

When I refused to leave but insist she leave so I hold up for her, she said, " you are very much as valuable as I am

Your life is not ounce less, so just go, if you are feeling to indebted, then survive" she is the one that gave me that bracelet I asked you to hold for me

I also tried to keep her five year old son safe as a way of repaying her, but eventually he died at another raid

Ever since then, I have only one thought in mind, and that is to pay the Gaia back in their own coin".

There was silence in the air, not a word spoken, but at that point we all died, I realise we end losing everything we have left we should have protected in a bid to avenge what we've lost"

Another round of silence permits the air as this hard truth seem difficult to swallow, its bitter as it may be but its the Truth

.........

Unlike Victor silent layout, the Gaia government house is in tomoil, chaos and confusion everywhere

"What do you mean you can cut of the broadcast, we can't allow the masses watch this"

The general screamed at Fred as that guy on his own is sweating bucket, for some reason he can't cut the field of the broadcast

The gruesome scene of the annihilator cleaning the battle field is presently on going on screen and the masses are already reacting to it

Gaia a peaceful place akin to Paradise, impenetrable by enemies, clean of pollution or filts

Filled with bliss and future techs, tall buildings and flying cars, rail less train and floating railway

High level economical balance and environmental advancement, superb level medical achievement and usage of techs to maintain and extend man life and health

All this amazing things are now losing it grandeur with just one broadcast, fear of the unknown taking the first spot

Things were different within Gaia earth empire school of science and technology control center room

A young lady sat at the control, watching the broadcast and masses reaction through the multiple screen in front of her

Her gaze focused more on the mecha creating what could only be called a miracle In her eye

Jest then one of the monitor flash red for a few moment and then returned to normal

She just gaze at the monitor from the side of her eyes and an evil grin creep up on her face

"Just as expected, they would want to cut the field, too bad it won't be walking today

Let the world see how weak this self proclaimed superior really is" her grin growing wider as she began typing on a small laptop she attached to the school control system

Sound of the automatic door disrupt her action, forcing her to close down the laptop in a jiff as she speedingly turn around to see who had intrude without her notice

She had her eyes on the walkway to this place, how did someone evade her surveillance

"Jeremy!" The young lady blurted out startled, she didn't expect to see this guy of all people here

His charming and indifferent look, well framed body, soft silk hair comb backward and those blue eyes that looks like nothing can faze it is completely impossible to miss

"Eunice" the young man known as Jeremy walked in the control room with his hands in his pocket, his indifferent attitude ever preset

Scanning the room, his eyes picked up a few distinction from the usual, but he maintained his expression

"What are you doing here Eunice, all students are in their dorm, in class or watching the broadcast at the main gathering hall"

He turn to face Eunice, but the latter just smile shyly, acting all womanly, with a few blush to hit the Mark

"I just want somewhere alone, and what other better place than here, being the students council vice president sure do come with its perk

You, what are you doing here" she threw her own question at him, this guy is too hard to read

Hope he didn't see anything, I was fast enough to change the other screen display right?

She is having an hard time reading this guy before her and its making her cranky

"I'm just like you, with everything going on right now, I feel safe being alone at the moment" ignoring her girlishly attitude

"I guess I'll have to leave you be then, I've been here for a while, you can have it all to yourself now, bye"

She packed up her laptop and exit the room, Jeremy didn't stop her or say a word

He just stood there starring at her leaving figure till the door behind her close, the moment Eunice came out of the room

Her girly attitude disappeared, replace with deep frown as she took one more glance at the door before leaving

A message has just pop up on her smart wrist watched which further increased her frown as she hurried away

Back inside the control room, just as the door shut up behind Eunice, Jeremy indifferent expression change into a frown

He scan the room one more time and sighed, no matter how fast she is, he had seen what needes to be seen

Putting that aside for now, he brought out a tiny spider like device and place it on the control panel

It flashed read a few times before turning green and a blurring image of a silhouette appeared on the main screen

"You've seen the news too right?" The silhouette asked immediately the connection was established.
