Bad news always came so suddenly.
Just as nightmares always lingered like shadows.
The instant the lights illuminated that steel beast mask, the armor roared.
A boiling sound rose. The aberration battery within the reactor chamber convulsed violently, wailing soundlessly as, under savage extraction, it erupted with output once more.
Scorching blazing light burst forth like a pair of wings from the thunderous propulsion engines.
Like a meteor, it surged forward—
In the blink of an eye, it had arrived before the Workshop's gates. Every pillar of Spiritual Substance in its path snapped and collapsed. Countless streaks of light shot out and struck the armor forged from the bones of countless mutants, leaving behind only faint scratches.

The nightmare had begun...
