It was the battle on the first superweapon, collector, Astra, hakai, and several others were battling against the exotic creator. The battle was looking grim.

Suddenly, EC managed to chop the collector's head clean off. Everyone in the battle was horrified at what they had just seen.

One by one he slaughtered the warriors opposing him, until only Astra and hakai were left

EC: the last ones... The so called "daughters" of the collector.

Hakai seemed fatigued, but stood her ground. Astra did as well.

EC raises his arm and Astra was launched into a wall, he then knocked hakai off her feet, and stomped her into the ground repeatedly. When it stopped blood could be seen on EC's foot.

He began to walk towards Astra, slowly and menacingly. His sword scraped across the ground as he walked. Astra was paralyzed in fear

EC lifted his sword, and was about to stab it directly through Astra's chest, but before he could do it Astra heard hakai's voice echoing through her mind saying "wake up"

The voice got more and more intense until...

Suddenly Astra woke up with a short scream, after taking a moment to comprehend what just happened she realized that she was laying in bed, with hakai standing next to the bed with a concerned look on her face

Astra: what... Happened?

Hakai: I was about to ask you the same thing.

Astra: ... Wait, why are you in here?

Hakai: I woke up and needed the bathroom, after I finished I heard you crying in your sleep

Astra notices the tears on her face and quickly wipes them off

Astra: I'm ok, it was just a bad dream...

Hakai: I barely ever see you sad, let alone crying, so that must've been a pretty bad dream.

Hakai sits on the bed next to Astra, and patiently waits for her to tell her about the dream

Astra: well... It all started on the superweapon, specifically the one where we killed exotic creator.

Astra continued telling hakai about her dream, remembering every bloody detail. About halfway through she began to cry again, but hakai simply hugged her to calm her down, and helped her to continue

Throughout the story hakai's look of curiosity turned to one of concern. Because a dream that is THAT specific about location, people, and events would likely have some sort of meaning.

After Astra finished telling the story, hakai paused for a moment while she thought about what she had just heard

Hakai: did anything seem off about the dream? Other than EC... Killing everybody.

Astra: ... All of the other deaths were quick, but yours was especially brutal. Between stomps I could see you fighting back, trying to get out from under EC, but then... You know...

Hakai: well we already knew that if he comes back he's probably going for me first. No surprise there.

Astra: really?

Hakai: he often looks down on others, anything that he didn't make or design is something he'll see as "inferior". But he technically made me, so he actually comprehends my strength. He fears me, unlike anything the collector could make.

Astra: so he'd get rid of you first?

Hakai: exactly.

Astra looked slightly frightened after hakai said that

Hakai: do you want to hear a dream I had about him? This one's more weird than creepy.

Astra simply nodded, she still had a frightened expression on her face

Hakai: it starts with me being forced into EC's workshop by some soldiers, then EC grabbed me and strapped me to a table. Then started peeling off my skin, which for some reason revealed metal underneath. Here's the weird part, when he got to my face he put a mirror in front of me, and after he took it off I suddenly looked exactly like him.

Astra: HOW IS THAT NOT CREEPY???

Hakai: after getting brought back from the dead and experimented on there isn't much that creeps me out anymore, can't get much worse than having your limbs torn off and replaced- ow!

Hakai suddenly clutches her elbow, seemingly right in between her skin and the robotic part

Astra: what is it?

Hakai: these implants don't exactly grow. Maybe using a kid for his experiment wasn't EC's best idea. I'll be fine, I think Collector overheard me telling rizu about it earlier.

Speaking of Collector, he actually did overhear hakai talking to rizu.

After the girls went to bed, Collector began working on new nanotech implants for hakai so they don't feel tight anymore. once he got it working, he made a small neural connection unit so hakai could summon some basic weapons with a thought, it would also give better sensory throughout her body.

His goal was to help hakai feel more comfortable and normal with her modifications.

After they were complete, collector realized it was 2:30 AM.

Collector: well THAT took longer than I thought. Might as well cleanup before I prepare this for installation tomorrow.

After cleaning up he notices EC's severed head on the end of his desk

Collector: ... Y O U .

He simply stared at it in rage for a few moments

Collector: *deep sigh* what am I thinking? Even if you're deactivated you somehow kept what little value you had. That "value" being the info in your head.

Collector reached for the head so he could finally extract the data from it, but just before he could touch it he heard Astra scream from her room.

He grabbed his sword, and quietly walked down the hall to see what was going on. When he got close to the doorway he heard Astra telling hakai about a dream she had. He put the sword away and simply listened to Astra tell the story, as soon as she mentioned the exotic creator collector listened more closely, if Astra was having a dream about him right before he was about to extract data from him it could mean something important.

Collector had seen a lot of death in his time, but even this creeped him out. He even knew the exact moment in the battle when it could've happened, around halfway through EC took a swing at the collector's neck, but he managed to block the attack with his sword. Although he was still knocked back a few feet.

The dream was likely a vision of another timeline, provided by Astra's dimensional diamond.

After a moment of thought collector decided to stop eavesdropping and start examining the data from EC's systems.

After half an hour of work collector managed to break through the security program and access the files.

It started out rather normal, with inkperial base locations and various training curriculums for soldiers.

Some of them were even unknown to the united universes, and would be very helpful in exterminating the last of the inkpire.

But then it started to get... Disturbing.

Collector began finding experiment logs, one of which was for a superweapon that matches hakai's description perfectly.

After looking through the file, collector found that there were 237 total test subjects, 236 of them died. But one survived, that being hakai.

Collector also found some consistencies in how the test subjects were dying, most died to "life support failure due to insufficient power source" or "internal bleeding due to incorrectly made parts" with the occasional "electrocution due to a system error"

After the 236th test the project was put on hold to refine the design, and avoid suspicion from the authorities. However once EC gained a better power source (the extension of destruction) he immediately needed a new test subject, and aiko seemed to be the perfect candidate.

So he staged her death, and the first superweapon was made. Hakai, the bringer of destruction.

After this there were notes of frustration due to her betrayal, and blueprints for fighters that were never built, however the designs could be repurposed for the united universes

It was by this point that collector realized he had been looking through these files for 3 and 1/2 hours. It was now 6:00 AM

Collector: eh, sleep is for the weak anyway. Guess it's time for hakai's new implants.

Collector quickly got everything ready for installation and left his workshop to find hakai.

He soon found her and Astra eating breakfast, Astra still seemed slightly troubled about her dream last night, but was still her usual self.

Collector: hakai, I have a surprise for you!

Hakai: what is it?

Collector: follow me and I'll show you

Astra: can I see?

Collector: sure.

The three went into collector's workshop, several cubes were on one of the tables

Hakai: ... What are these?

Collector: they're your new implants! I overheard you talking about your current ones being uncomfortable, these ones are nanotech so they can easily adjust to pretty much anything.

Hakai: nanotech... like what Astra is made of?

Collector: yep, although you won't be able to shapeshift to the same extent as her.

Hakai: can we install them right now?

Collector: just lay down on the table and we can get started.

Hakai layed down on the table and collector grabbed one of the smaller cubes then began removing some of the mechanical parts from her arm, this was rather difficult since he had to work around the connections letting blood flow to her hands, but it would mean the rest of the process would only get easier. Once the process was complete, collector placed the cube on hakai's arm, and it morphed to look almost identical to the original almost instantly. Hakai also noticed that the pain in that arm was gone, and now she could actually feel anything that touches it more accurately.

Collector repeated this process for her other arm

As for her torso, most of it was just outer flesh and bone replaced with metal parts. So this was rather simple, remove the armor, carefully removed the frame, place a cube. Hakai noticed the same effects as before, better sensory and no more pain.

The legs were the easiest by far, they could simply be popped out of place using a button hidden inside each leg, this was seemingly added for maintenance purposes. However since EC made it he could've easily used it for torture if she ever got out of line, but clearly he was a bit too late.

Once again, pop the leg out, place a cube, done. But there was one more thing collector needed to add: shape shifting functionality.

Luckily, most of the connections from her brain to her implants were just behind the power source. After adding a small circuit board collector reinforced it with the final cube, and placed the extension of destruction back in hakai's forehead.

Collector: ok, you should be all set to test these out. Think of a weapon, and you should be able to summon it from part of your body.

Hakai thought of a sword, and soon a blade extended from her wrist

Hakai: WOAH!

Collector: ok, try thinking of a plasma gun.

Hakai thought of a plasma gun, and suddenly it appeared on her other arm and glowed with purple energy.

Collector: perfect, now think of hands and they should retract back into your arms.

The weapons retracted, but then hakai noticed that Astra had seemingly disappeared.

Collector saw the confused look on hakai's face, and soon noticed as well.

Meanwhile Astra was angrily staring at EC's severed head with her arms crossed. There was a curtain separating that table from the one hakai was on

Collector walks behind the curtain and finds Astra

Collector: what are you doing?

Astra: just thinking of all the ways you could be torturing him right now.

Collector: that'll happen soon enough, but I need to get information from what's left of him first.

Astra: and why is that so important? The inkpire is pretty much dead, and the new order was taken down in a matter of months.

Collector: I have found SEVERAL theoretically untouched inkpire bases. So I'd say the inkpire is FAR from dead.

Hakai was still sitting on the table, puzzled about what Astra and collector were talking about.

Hakai (to self): Inkpire bases? What did collector find?

Collector: there were even blueprints for next gen fighters that put almost all current ones to shame. And even-

Collector's eyes widened as he realized what he was about to say

Astra: even what?

Collector: ... Things... I shouldn't mention with hakai in here. Even you wouldn't want to know.

Hakai was still listening from the other side of the curtain

Hakai: what should I not know about?

Collector: it's not something you shouldn't know, it's something neither of you would even WANT to know.

Astra: just tell us! It could make things better if you're not the only one to-

Collector slams his fist on the table, and the bar holding the curtain up falls from the ceiling. Showing hakai what was on the table.

She fell silent as soon as she saw the severed head of EC

Hakai: ... Y-YOU HAD THAT THIS WHOLE TIME!?

Collector: I didn't want you to know, But I've taken every precaution necessary to make sure that THING doesn't escape.

Hakai angrily gets off the table and walks around to the collector

Hakai: tell us what you found.

Collector: hakai, I just-

Hakai: NOW.

Collector fell silent for a moment, but realized this was the right thing to do. he shouldn't have been keeping secrets from either of his daughters.

Collector: fine. But don't say I didn't warn you.

Collector began to tell them what had happened the night before.

Collector: After I had finished your new implants I decided to analyze the data from EC. But just before I could touch the head, I heard Astra scream. I grabbed my sword to investigate, only to find you, hakai, comforting her. I listened while she told you about the nightmare, and as soon as she got to my death... I knew for sure it must've meant something. Early on in the battle EC had swung his sword at my head, but I blocked it. If Astra's dream had me die at THAT exact moment, it had to mean something. After Astra finished I quickly returned here to analyze the data, at first it was rather normal, simple base locations and fighter blueprints. But then...

Hakai: then what?

Collector: ... I found your experiment file. You were not the first superweapon attempt. There were 236 before you, and they all died horribly. Life support failure, internal bleeding, and electrocution. Those were the ones that killed the most of them.

Hakai was astonished at what she had just heard, and so was Astra

Collector: do you see why I didn't want to tell you now? Why I wanted to protect you from this?

Astra could see tears in hakai's eyes and quickly hugged her, so did Collector.

Collector: if I ever do this again, just remember that it's for your own good.

Collector let go

Collector: how about we get some ice cream? It'll at least be something to take our minds of of what that THING did.

Hakai simply nodded, and wiped the tears from her eyes

(This might be my saddest story yet ngl)
