บท 421: Lab's End

=====

At Meteor Labs - Ace exhaled, his breath a foggy cerulean blue. The earth broke apart around him, surrendering to his otherworldly power. He held the ground ripped open with both his hands. Threads of blue energy wound out from his palms, stretching across the vaults, then up towards the labs - all of its floors - and pulled.

Pulled the very fabric of their atomic structure, causing everything to break apart into a swirling vortex of destruction.

Ace did not spare any of the labs. All of it was complicit in his suffering. And the very idea that these labs, ran by these people, these creatures so far beneath him, caused him suffering was inexcusable.

Everything had to go.

But most importantly -

"Found you." Ace whispered, sensing Machine Mind's energy signature. It was deep down in the earth, inside a nigh impenetrable doomsday bunker. There was another energy signature there, too.
