Tocsax, recovering his composure, replied to David Galic, the commander of Space Station 13.

"You're a recent recruit of the Thirteen Seekers of Darkness, right? It seems you don't know what those who consume the Darkness to turn it into Light are capable of." And with that, Corridors of Darkness opened up all across Panem's surface, letting out legions of Samurai Nobodies who began engaging the ground troops from Fallout: Apocalypse Averted and Space Station 13. "There's a reason why Leo the Second Mathematician wanted me to be his Thirteenth incarnation."

"Indeed," David said through the comms, nonplussed as he gave the order for his own fleet of Gummi ships to engage Emperor Michael's own in battle, causing the sky to be criss-crossed with lasers and railgun fire. "It seems that your power is not only rumor...is it the same for your lack of skill?"

Then, Space Station 13's cybernetic-magical defenses would suddenly shut down for two seconds, thanks to Blair's hacking.

"What was that?! More dirty tricks?!" the shout came through the comms. "Very well, come at me; I will show you the wrath of someone who has full power over the Human Form!"

"Oh," said a tiring Tocsax, "it's not just us who will be coming at you...you've noticed that whatever Drake did weakened whatever you're doing to prevent teleportation, right?" He would then slump to the floor...just as the ground forces Emperor Michael and Empress Maria had been holding back teleported to Panem's surface to reinforce the Samurai Nobodies, deploying Infantry, Tanks, APCs, and Artillery that, though inferior, were still dangerous if used right. And of course, Battle-magi that can still grant an advantage.

"All right, people!" Damianos Sardis' voice can be heard all over the comms, "you guys teleport to Space Station 13, while Giorgios, [i]Basilieus[/i] Michael, and I take down these occupation forces!"

"And I'll lead this Gummi fleet to victory!" Empress Maria replied in an open channel.

David Galic, meanwhile, awaited the enforcers of the 'Tyranny of Light' in the depths of Space Station 13. Looking around his chamber, his gaze dwelt upon a tube of clear fluid, in which yet another young man who looked like an eighteen-year old was suspended, wearing a wetsuit and an oxygen mask. The young man had dark blue hair, and his eyes were closed, although David knew they were golden.

"My secret weapon, No, I," the cyborg smiled as he looked at the [i]Replica[/i]. Originally one of Leo's projects to create another Tocsax, 'No, I', turned out to be a miserable failure, a copy and experiment that didn't pan out as well as Leo hoped. So, the Circle 'killed' him, only to cause one of the incidents that finally caused Tocsax himself to turn against their faction. But now, David Galic had brought him back, in order to use as a secret weapon against the group.

Oh, and as someone whose Element is [i]literally[/i] the 'Human Form', he can change the properties of his brain to resist psychic powers, but as [i]he didn't know of Mantis' existence[/i], he did not do so, meaning that Mantis can tell the group the details of this ambush.
