Icarus stepped aside so Ace could take it, "All yours." he said as he stepped to the left hand side.

"You..." I say threateningly. "You tried to kill Aero. NOW I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" I yell, lunging at him with my claws.

Icarus turned to the scurrying snipers, "No Witnesses." he said as the glow in his eyes turned red. He quickly warped behind each individual sniper and extracted their hearts from their backs.

"I can go to jail, I will die. As long as Aero is safe." I say.

Icarus turned to Ace, "Going to Jail? That isn't going to happen my friend." he said as he ripped a heart out. "I'm connected to the world's systems if you didn't know already, NERV, the UN, SEELE, etc. I'll take you off the systems, no friend of mine is going to jail." he said as he began to hack the systems.

"I said I will do ANYTHING TO PROTECT AERO!" I yell pushing away Icarus.

Icarus fell down, with a bit of blood splattered on his face, "Alright." he said as he got up, "Understood, I won't be bothering you and Aero unless you tell me to." he said as he began to walk off. "Sorry for all the trouble I've caused you."

"You didn't cause any trouble." I say.

Icarus continued to walk slowly, "Then I'm sorry for making you think that I was sorry for no reason." he said as he closed his programs, "Anything involving you or this incident is no longer existent and will not exist, I've removed everything and convinced everyone this was a Drunk Party Aftermath." he said as he turned away.

"I'm fourteen, besides, I can take out anything that stands in my way, even if I get killed- I'll be happy that all my friends are safe, " I say.

Icarus turned around again, "You sound like me when I was 14 and in Tokyo-3." he said as he vanished into the distance.

"Wha?" I mumble, confused. "Oh well."

Truth was, Icarus wasn't thinking straight after being splattered with blood and forcing Assault Mode, which caused a malfunction in his systems while being drained. Icarus fell over, drained of energy and recharging.

Suddenly I was pushed against a wall. The person dug into my ribcage and pulled out my life force bone, which contained years of life. I fell to the ground, limp, and took my last breath. The killer had yellow eyes and looked just like me.

Icarus got up after his strange source of power regenerated, he headed back over to Ace's house to try to understand what happened as he had no previous memory. He saw a grisly scene, Ace laying on the ground, and a strange figure close by.
