It wasn't at all like before.

Joe hit the ground.

Proto Fiend took a step.

One more foot length forward and he'd crush the skull of Y.

Short was going to pay.
Short was going to pay.
I'll make him pay.
That bastard will pay for what he has done.

THOOM!!

A burst of pure energy emptied from the barrel.
The Proto Fiend's gaze snapped in her direction.
Those glowing orange eyes widened and his smile broke for just a moment.

Then a ball of light struck him in the chest and knocked him off of his feet [3].
There was a burning, hissing sound, as he crashed to the floor.

However... he was twitching.
Definitely, he was about to get back up.

"Sh-... Shit!" Mara screamed and began firing wildly.
However, at this point, she panicked.
She was just shooting holes in the floor while screaming obscenities.


The creature punched the ground, tearing a hole right through the metal, and jumped back to his feet.
It let out a harrowing screech which seemed to freeze Mara in her tracks.
Then as she snapped wildly at the trigger, it began to make a different sound.

Click. Click click click.

... The battery was dead.

Below, John and IG-59 had prepared for Ammon's assault.
The Primal burst into the room with them and began its attack.
Well, to be accurate;

John slid behind cover, distracting the enemy while keeping himself safe [2].
Ammon managed to corrode a metal crate but did no damage to his target.
Because of that he was also distracted and off balance.

Because of this, and the element of surprise, IG-59 was able to get a bonus to his attack!
As soon as the enemy took a step through the door, IG-59 was there.
Using a gun at close range was not the most effective.
But it was still a gun.
Even if it wasn't at its MOST effective, it was still pretty damn effective.

Ballistic shells ripped through Ammon, the choice method of the SPAM unit.
These kind of ambush tactics were brilliantly suited to urban warfare.
The very kind the resistance had been used to.
Between Fool's ingenuity, John's tactics, and IG-59's firepower...
It was easy to see how these three could easily make a team in their home dimension.
And it was definitely easy to see how the resistance had continued to fight against the Darkness.

Ammon himself was ripped to shreds by the attack [A].

The cloud dispersed.

The threat had passed.

Finally, upstairs, there was one remaining person who had not been noted yet.
Hidden behind the one-sided glass...
The Proto Fiend had not even seen him yet.
Quovadis was standing over the work bench, watching everything going on outside there.
He'd been messing around with the objects here but,
Maybe it was the fear.
His hands wouldn't stop shaking.
He couldn't focus.
But he knew he needed to build an upgrade for his gun.
There was no way he'd be able to help if he ran out there now.
It felt cowardly and stupid to hide in here while others were fighting.

But Quo knew the best thing he could do was to become stronger.
Only then would he be able to contribute to the battle!

And then, at once, he knew he had created something great.

He raised it in two hands.
Oh, it was much heavier now.
The Z Gun.

Quo looked through the scope, through the one way glass, and looked at his enemy.
He could see its skeleton. It's skull. The brain hiding within.
That thing seemed to be pulsing.
Quo felt like if he pointed this at it he could probably cripple the mind of that enemy.
But that wasn't all the Z Gun could do.
Definitely, this thing was capable of... amplifying gravitational planes.
