Lenka, Ana and Elsie found themselves in the hull of the ship. The others fighting outside, cursing their names for the stupid mistake and decision that they did. What they found rather disturbing is the lack of enemies within the hull. They have come across a few robots, nothing to dangerous. Well, the robots themselves are quite capable and dangerous, but their numbers are not that vast. 

Elsie: I don't like this. 

Ana: What do you mean? 

Elsie: I mean, come on sis. Look at it. We are in an important vessel, his ambitious project and yet, there aren't many people protecting it. I understand if there aren't Fallen and Psion's, but even the machines. There are few in between. 

Ana: What if he is spread thin? What if he concentrated most of his army on the ground and had not expected anybody to board his ship. I mean, most are organic. Like us, but we have the Light to keep us safe. 

Elsie: You are too naive. You think a immensely powerful, sentient and intelligent would be that stupid? I think this ship is protected by a way I cannot fathom. 

Ana: Well, the most I can think is one of those Walkers. 

Lenka: Let's just hope it isn't anything too concerning. 

As they venture deeper into the vessel they come across a large tight sealed door. 

Lenka: This must be where that relic is. I can practically feel its energy seeping through. It makes my skin tingle. 

As they approach the door, Jinju hacks the console. It is old tech, Cabal, simple to hack. The doors hiss open, revealing a massive open hangar where the relic had been put. It is encased in it's casing. 

Lenka: Fucking hell it is big. 

Ana: I know. It is massive. 

Elsie looks around, taking note of the emptiness. There are no signs of life, no movement, no nothing. A small hatch opens up from above, a lone, small little servitor floats down. The girls raise their eyebrows. 

Ana: Is that? All? 

Siphix: Welcome Guardians! Hahaha. 

They are shocked as the servitor speaks in a deep baritone voice. It looks nothing special, a few modifications, nothing that would pose a threat. 

Lenka: It speaks. 

She whispers, her eyes glued to the servitor. They aim at it. 

Siphix: How rude! Not even a greeting, a thank you back. How crude and barbaric. 

Elsie: You are able to speak?!

Her voice echoes through the empty hangar. 

Siphix: But of course. My creator, my enabler, he granted me advanced thought and voice. He put me in charge of this ship, to operate and protect it. 

Ana can't help but snicker, she can't help herself. Such a small thing put in charge of such a large and important vessel, it is almost comical. 

Siphix: I see someone finds all of this amusing. 

Ana: I can't help it. You are so small and don't look dangerous at all. I expected a large mech to guard it, not a small little servitor. Buahaha. 

Siphix: Oh? Like this one? 

The servitor floats forward, to the center of the room. The floor opens up and from it, a platform rises up, lifting into view a large humanoid mech. It's is sleek, very much a humanlike entity. Very much like a subjugator, but more human in nature. The servitor floats up to the mechs chest. The chest opens up and it just slides into the cavity, being clamped into position and hidden from view as the chest close up. The mech pulses with energy as it comes to life, it's limbs twitch, various parts of it light up. It jumps back onto the platform near Helios. From nanobots, a twin blade is formed in it's hand. 

Ana: Well that is, fuck.

Elsie: I knew it was protected by something. Alright, split up. 

They start firing at it as it jumps down back onto the hangar floor, all doors tightly shut, forming an arena. They fire at it, but Siphix just deflects and parries the bullets with ease. It does not even attack, just stands and observes them. But as it crouches down, it lunges forward at incredible speed towards Elsie. She manages to evade, just, the swing of his blade. It cuts into the metal floor, leaving behind a large gash. She quickly retreats. Their bullets just bounce off the armor, incapable of damaging it. Lenka pulls out her rocket launcher and fires it at Siphix. As it makes impact it explodes, causing small clusters of bombs to explode a few seconds later. Smoke rises as they wait. Siphix locks onto her, his piercing blue slit in the middle of head is the only thing that can be seen. Her eyes go wide as within a second it dashes forward. Elsie managed to evade it because of her experience and skill. But Lenka, she was not so lucky. She is impaled on the blade and lifted up into the air. 

Siphix: How weak and futile. Do you think that a simple rocket would harm ME!? He created this body to be strong, not to be damaged by a large caliber shell, let alone a rocket. 

Ana and Elsie fire into his back, trying to get his attention. Lenka charges up her Chaos Reach and shoots it directly into Siphix face. As it runs out, he just remains there, staring at her. With a quick motion he removes her from his blade and slams her into the ground before stomping her. With a single powerful stomp she is killed. Her Ghost tries to revive her but Siphix grabs it and brings it to his face. 

Siphix: Pathetic. 

Without even thinking he crushes the Ghost in his hand, it explodes in Light energy. The two sisters watch in horror as their friend is killed once and for all. 

Ana: Jinju, go and try to open the door! 

Jinju: You got it. But be careful, I can't hack and revive you at the same time. 

Ana: Don't worry. 

Jinju flies out towards the console when Siphix was too distracted and begins to hack the console. The sisters begin firing at Siphix with all that they have got, buying themselves time. Evading each of his strikes. His slashes, throws and kicks. His movement is simply to great for them two to deal alone. Elsie looks up at Helios and then at her sister. She knows that if they both try to escape this ship will go away or worse, he might catch up to them and kill them both. As the doors swing open she looks at it, but lets out a sigh. 

Ana: Elsie, let's go. 

Elsie shakes her head and instead running towards the platform near Helios. 

Ana: Sis!? What are you doing?

Elsie: Go. If we both run, he will kill us both, but, maybe, just maybe I can destroy this thing and take me and him down together. I want you to live. So go!

Ana: No Elsie. I am not lea...

Elsie: Go! Or I will shoot you! Don't make me do it, please. 

Her please sounds remorseful, drenched with sadness, Ana can only stare. Her heart hurts, she doesn't want to leave her sis, or lose her. But, she also knows that she is right. With his movement, there is no way they could escape together. She clenches her fist, watching Siphix just stand there, observing, not attacking. With tears in her eyes she runs off, looking back at her sister one last time. Elsie climbs on top and is face to face with the casing. The size of the object scares her. She can hear Siphix approaching, his feet clank with each step taken. Her heart beats quicker as she tries to figure out how do destroy it. She begins playing with the console, thankfully, it is in human language. She doesn't hear him anymore. She finds the self destruct sequence but to her horror, there is a procedure that needs to be inputted. The light from behind is blocked as she lets out a sigh. 

Elsie: I guess this is the end. 

She turns around pointing her gun and firing up at Siphix, she knows well that it won't do anything. She empties her entire mag and keeps pressing the trigger, but all that happens is a click. Over and over. This faint sound is now the loudest thing in her mind. She stares up at him. He lifts up his blade and swings, the world going dark. Siphix steps away, robot soldiers come racing in. He had just gotten a command from S0L. He calms down the relic, turning off the machine to let it settle and relax. Ana manages to jump out of the ship just as it is about to head out. It flies off, and she can only look at it disappear over the horizon in the distance. Upon landing on the ground the others rush to her aid. 

Shaxx: Ana? Are you okay!?

Ikora: Where is Elsie and Lenka? 

Ana doesn't speak, instead looks down at the ground. Ikora realizes what happened and leans down, hugging her, comforting her. 

Sarc-4: Guys, like I don't wanna ruin the mood or anything, but what is that?!

Everyone looks out towards where he is pointing. It is three light balls flying into the sky before arcing and then heading towards them. 

Ikora: Summon your ships! We have to get out of here! 

Ikora picks up Ana and takes her into her ship. They begin flying away and as they manage to gain some distance the missiles make impact. The world goes white for a few seconds before a massive explosion shakes the very earth and air. The shockwave dissipates the clouds, pushing them away. Three hydrogen bombs had made impact and completely flattened the area, leaving barely anything standing. They managed to escape, but only just. But with great loses.
