As Eric reached into Kami's mind, he found something equal parts confusing and disturbing. First, he found the methodical and clear thoughts of a killer. The inhumanly fast thought processes, as Kami processed all the information around him instantly. It was like a waterfall of thoughts to wade through, as Eric tried to anchor himself. However, as Eric spoke, he began to dig deeper. He managed to take a closer look at the stream, to begin to comprehend even Kami's hyper-fast thought process. And between the cold and emotionless evaluation, he found impurities. Small streaks of colour between the grey. Pride and anger, distaste and frustration. They would have been normal in any other mind, save for how starkly they contrasted with their environment. Like a coffee stain in a pure white room.

Following the stream, Eric dug deeper into Kami's psyche. It was as much curiosity as necessity that drove him, as he realized that he might never find a mind even similar to that of this strange being. And as he did, he came to a great wall. It was a massive mental barrier, erected within Kami's mind. It was huge, and heavily reinforced. Ancient but strong, capable of withstanding serious punishment. And yet, there seemed to be tiny cracks in the wall. From these cracks flowed multicoloured light, the source of the impurities in the stream. It was behind this barrier that Kami had somehow locked his emotions.

And then it was that Eric discovered something truly astounding. It had been there all along, and yet it had taken him this long to truly comprehend it's scope, to truly realize what it was he was dealing with. And in that moment of comprehension, Eric felt himself trembling in fear.

Back in the real world, Eric came to a sudden halt. Midsentence he simply paused, taking a step back with a horrified expression on his face. For what he had seen in the depths of Kami's mind would change his world forever. The information he now possessed might be the only thing standing between the world, and utter annihilation. And yet, even as Kami's head jerked towards him, Eric knew that Kami knew that he knew. And Eric knew that Kami would kill him for the knowledge he possessed.

It was this strange series of events that distracted Kami far more than the Pelican did. North didn't know what had caused Kami to suddenly focus on Eric, and what had caused Eric to pause, but he would happily abuse the distraction. A bubble shield formed around Kami, locking him off from the rest of the world. He seemed to growl, as he punched the sudden wall of energy that had appeared before him. The field wavered, but didn't budge. Kami shouted out orders, as he unleashed a rain of blows on the bubble of energy, attempting to shatter it with brute force. And it was clear that the shield would soon give away under the sheer force of the blows, dozens of punches being thrown in mere seconds and each with the power to tear through metal.

[Attack him! Kill the halfbreed, ignore the others! Whatever happens, he must die!]

Needing no further prompting, the two Paladins charged Eric, completely ignoring Freelance as it escaped the premises. However, they descended on Eric with speed and strength, and it was only through his timely use of stealth technology that Eric avoided becoming the meaty filling of a Mech Soldier Sandwich. And even then he could see the Paladins attempting to track him. Using the sound of his footsteps, the slight movements in the air. He would have a hard time escaping, even with stealth tech.
