'Tory, proceed with the plan.'
[Plan commencing.....]
[....Running interference now]
[Ding]
[Operation interference successful. The decision to attack or escape now rests with host.]
Dino began to weigh his options. Should he risk eliminating these mercenaries and drawing attention to himself or escape and risk potentially more casualties. He felt uncomfortable with the thought of killing so many as he hadn't killed anyone in his previous life but this was a different world and a different situation; what he did in his past life had no place in this new world. He was born to fight. He was grown to kill. He was made to be a super soldier. He was created for war and the enemies before him had stepped onto his battlefield; they had made this war.
Once again a quiet voice started to chant in the back of his mind.
"Hunt!"
"Kill!"
"Destroy!"
"Hunt!"
"Kill!"
"Destroy!"
"Hunt!"
"Kill!"
"Destroy!"
Violent thoughts exploded inside Dino's mind. The more he resisted the hunt, the greater the violence in his mind grew. Growing dangerously close to relinquishing control and allowing his rampaging mind to take control, a voice pulled him back.
[Host, how are you planning to proceed?]
One simple question was enough for him to push the dangerous thoughts back to the depths and focus his mind.
Using the intelligence he was born with, he quickly realized that fighting in the state he was currently in would end badly, very badly. Best case scenario he would kill everyone in the lobby; including Eddie. Worst case scenario he would end up in an uncontrollable rampage killing who knows how many innocent people. His conscience wouldn't allow innocents to die, no matter how badly he was affected by his classification.
So he made his decision, he wouldn't fight but there was no way in hell he would allow these people to walk away alive after what they'd done.
Putting his mind to work, he began to think up new plan, after new plan crossing the ones off that he deemed unusable or useless. After thinking up countless plans, one finally seemed plausible.
'Tory, do you still hold control over the feeds on the armours and Mech, of the mercenaries that you're running interference on?'
[I do Host.]
'Would you be able to change what they see, to whatever I ask you to?'
[That is indeed possible. What does host wish for me to show them?]
'Would you be able to show me, in place of one of the Mercs, in each of there individual feeds?'
There was a slight pause before Tory spoke as if she were thinking for herself.
[Host wishes for them to kill each other?]
'That's the idea, yes. If it plays out like I believe it will.'
[This idea is definitely possible. Would host like to proceed with the action?]
'Yes, please proceed.'
[Variables of interference changing... Now influencing enemy feeds and blocking enemy communication...Plan proceeding in....]
[.....4]

It was at that moment, that all hell broke loose.
"BANG!" "BANG!" "BANG!" "BANG!"
"CRACK!" "BOOM!"
"TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT!" "KABOOM!..."
"...CRASH!"
All sound ceased after several seconds of constant weapons fire. Silence fell within the lobby.
[Operation complete. Enemies disabled.]
'Thanks for all your hard work Tory.'
[No problem Host.]
Dino smiled and closed his eyes to prepare himself for the aftermath of what had just transpired. Calming his thoughts he stood and observed his surroundings.
Seeing the devastation before him, his once rampaging violent thoughts were calmed, as if they were appeased. The bodies scattered across the floor gave Dino an oddly peaceful feeling; the sensation continued as it flowed around his body.
Once again he checked on Eddie, before making his way out of the exit. Scorch marks marked the security doors from where they were blasted open earlier on in the day.
He walked down the long tunnel leading out of the research facility, towards the military base. The more he walked, the more bodies he discovered. It took several minutes before he reached the end. By this point, he'd already calculated that more than 80% of the research staff were more than likely dead, along with 90% of the soldiers that were stationed in the research facility at the time of the attack.
Making his way to the entrance of the tunnel, he quickly hid behind the nearest cover he could find before observing his surroundings. Battles were being waged as soldiers fought against the invading mercenaries. It wasn't long before the soldiers started to win the fight as reinforcements began to arrive. Lead by admiral Jason Sky himself; whose face was currently filled with nothing but fury at the thought of his best friend being killed.
Suffice it to say, the mercenaries stood no chance, as the admiral mowed through their ranks with nothing but his combat knife; leaving very little for the soldiers to do.
Spotting the admiral and with the mercenaries almost completely dealt with, Dino stepped out of his hiding place and straight into the Admirals line of sight.
The Admiral froze at the sight of him before his eyes wandered towards his shoulders where the still unconscious Eddie lay.
At the appearance of Dino, the soldiers raised their weapons and took aim; who could blame them, it's not often you see an 11-year-old carrying a fully grown man in the middle of a battlefield.
Jason ordered them to lower their weapons and made his way towards them.
"Dino, what the hell happened here?" asked the Admiral.
Dino's eyes widened as an incredulous look filled them and a fiery tone filled his voice.
"What do you think happened?!?! We were attacked obviously!"
Taken aback by Dino's tone, only now did Jason remember that Dino wasn't actually a soldier. He was about to apologize when a soldier, who had no idea who Dino was began to reprimand him; a look of disdain filling his face.
"Child, who do you think you're talking to? Show some Respect!!"
The soldiers and Jason who had previously experienced Dino's killing intent began to back away.
"BOOM!!"
Dino's killing intent was fully released. The skies began to darken and his eyes began to glow a frightening blooded red. The soldier that had previously reprimanded him dropped to his knees immediately. Staring at him with eyes full of fear.
"Who the hell do you think you're talking to BUG?!?!" Dino almost roared.
Dino's form gave the illusion that he was transforming due to the influence of his intent. A monster started to form in place of Dino. Fear gripped the soldier's mind.
"I could wipe you from existence with a quick snap of my fingers... but a worthless BUG like you doesn't deserve my attention. Get out of my sight."
The soldier tried to run but his fear overwhelmed him and he passed out the spot.
Seeing this Dino's emotions began to settle, apparently, the stress from earlier had gotten to him more than he'd thought. With his emotions calming, the skies returned to normal and his eyes dulled to their original color.
Jason spoke.
"Is Eddie alright? Why are you carrying him?"
Taking a breath before he answered, Dino spoke.
"He was shot while making his way to me. I patched him up but he passed out during the procedure, he'll be fine just needs some rest."
Visible relief could be seen on the admiral, as his tense shoulders relaxed at the news. A small smile played on his lips.
"Thanks for getting him out of there."
Dino laughed.
"What are friends for."
