[Missing Track]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A ship rattles as it enters a stormy atmosphere, soldiers wrapped in warm clothing and Mexes, helmets coving their heads, connected to their Pauldrons, they are all women. One of them leans forward, a massive rifle in hand. She unloads the chamber to the rifle causing a bullet the size of her forearm to come flying out, catching it in mid-air. She speaks, "Alright girls! We're going onto Midadeen to take out some Ludamin spies! They have a massive base here and we're here to take care of it! Since the Carrion is becoming more and more of a threat, we need to do this fast and not make any trouble for the Cyclops Mage, got it!? Gotta make 'em proud! Also," She points at a drone latched onto something so that it doesn't get crushed by the ships fall.
She goes on, "A lot of people are watching this, including the princess! She's going to be a new member so make sure to impress! Iron Maiden, you readied with Black Sabbath?"
They shout, "YES!" They nod to each other and the leader of the group continues.
"Right! Make sure to keep each other safe, as I said before, don't make trouble for the Cyclops Mage, don't want to make him sad after all! Make sure to have hunter drones on stand by at all times! Prep your weapons, Let's move out!"
The doors to the ship fly open as snow pours in, they all jump out and land near a massive grey structure, the ground under them almost collapsing. The drone leaves before the ship collides against the ground, watching them all from afar. Across the snowy straits of Midadeen, a few miles away from the Rendevous site, a man, Faust, the Cyclops Mage.
Faust wears a mask with only one eye on it, glowing and lighting his path through the blizzard, his hair comes through the top of the mask, flowing to his shoulders. He wears a long black coat over a military uniform covering his Mexe suit, a long thin sword on his back, a rail pistol on his belt, three threxens strapped to his waist, and a drone camouflaged in the snow.

Three black figures can be seen through the blizzard, searching for life. Faust appears in front of them and they immediately fire their weapons at him, his shield generators blocking it. He shakes his head solemnly before grabbing his long sword, the drone grabbing them one by one and killing them. Faust sighs, "Let's hope I can lure out that Uvmaren they have." He comments, the drone lowering itself to the ground. Faust stands on it riding it through the snowy desert.
After a few minutes of riding, he finds another group. Larger in size, he disembarks the drone. "Have my back." The drone gives an affirmative nod before disappearing into the snow. The group approaches, realizing who it is, yelling "Cyclops!"
They fire onto him and of course, the shield deflects. Faust quickly sheathes his long sword.
Faust takes out the rail pistol, firing it into the men. They are torn apart by it, one goes into their shoulder, ripping the muscles and tendons and completely shattering the shoulder blade, removing their arm altogether in one fell swoop, blood splattering across the snow and quickly freezing. They fall to the ground dead as another one's head is blown off its shoulders, collarbone with it. One gets shot in the ribs, cutting them in half. Each shot from the rail pistol vibrating the air, the wind coming from the recoil making his hair and coat flutter in the wrong direction. Each shell leaving heaps of steam as they exit the gun's cartridge, colliding against the ground like a steel beam.
Faust presses a button on the shoulder of his coat, activating a massive shield as a large bullet collides against it, causing the ground beneath them to rise into the air. The bullet explodes and Faust moves away from the shield, attempting to see where the shot came from. A man in black appears from behind Faust.

Faust grabs one of his threxen daggers with his mechanical hand, impaling the man in black with it. After killing the man, he removes the blade and places it back into its sheathe. 'Don't want to make another one, the minerals are too rare.' He thinks to himself, looking back to where the bullet came from.
The girls at the Rendevous site gather at a massive gate leading to an underground base. One of them clad in a cicada green shell hops two times before colliding their fist against the gate causing a small hole, bending the metal of the gate inward. Light protrudes from the inside and one of the other girls' peaks in, activating camouflage. She gets up, placing both where the open hole is and ripping it open. The gate grinds and growls as she opens it, the other preparing themselves with rifles and the like.
They clear out the main area and situate themselves on higher ground within the facility, sitting near experimental mechas and weapons twice the size of a normal ship. Some of the girls decide to rest, seeing no danger while the others sit, guarding the entrance to the facility.
Back to the outside.
Faust rides on his drone towards where the bullet came from, stopping himself as a long black spear is thrown in his direction. Faust jumps into the air as the spear hits the hunter drone's shield, causing the ground to shake from the impact. Faust, flying forward from the momentum, crashes into the snow before the man of the hour, the one that had tried to kill him. 'Looks like my plan was successful.' Faust thought to himself, pulling out his sword with his mechanical hand.
The spear flies right back into the man's hand and he stands up. Eight feet tall, wearing a massive mechanizes suit created by nanobots, the spear is the same, transforming into a variety of different weapons. "Never expected to fight a Cyclops." The man comments before transforming his speak into a shield twice his size.
Faust stares out into the distance and his helmet adjusts, the eye focusing in on whatever it was, the man puts down his guard, confused.
"What are yo-"
A pillar of light goes into the air and the sword vibrates, each part of the blade unlatching itself from each other, connected by thick wires made of a rare metal. Heat emits from the bladed whip, melting the snow below it as Faust quickly throws his hand in the air, grasping the sword and quickly bringing it down. The man blocks and is sent flying backward as it hits, the shockwave causing the snow below them to fly into the air, melting it on contact with the sword.
"I'v-" Again, the man is cut off as Faust takes out his rail pistol and fires at him. Tank rounds, that is what the sound of the pistol reminded him of. Each bullet hit the shield, pushing him back more and more before Faust ran out of ammo. The bullets fall to the ground, sinking into the snow.
The man chuckles gleefully as his shield turns into a sword. Before the man could attack... Faust cuts through him with one of his threxen blades, killing the man.
The man falls to the ground and Faust looks at the threxen dagger in his hand. "Worth every penny."
