The fic by Rockity Sock is still an unpublished WIP so far, but it's really nice and will hopefully be completed and published later.
It begins at the end of the Ultimate Enemy episode, with Dan getting trapped in the thermos. And... I'm not sure how much I can say without spoiling it, but a lot of really cool stuff happens. It's a psychological type of fic, about different types of prisons and punishments, and has time stuff and pocket dimensions, and redemption stuff. (I was only planning on drawing one illustration for IB, but when I saw the WIP, I wanted to see so many things animated. So many awesome visuals. I wish I could've animated them all.)
This is the part I did animate:
He just walked for now, searching for the tiniest crack. The darkness went on for seemingly forever though, and no matter how far he walked it kept on going
Dan kept moving
He tried his best to break through the walls but every ectoblast he formed fizzled out. Fading into the darkness.
Oh, now it makes sense.
His powers are being limited, it takes him a few more tries to believe it. The fact that he’s trapped with nothing whatsoever. Endless hours spent, and wasted. Powers he has built up from the ground with no mentor, ones he trained endlessly after a decade.
Gone, disappeared, muffled. Limited. Dan let out a laugh, one with no humor. A laugh that turned into a cackle, he couldn’t stop.

Hey there, fellow wanderers of the neon-drenched underbelly! Today, we're delving into the realm of the Galactic Authority (GA) officers and their flashy getup – the Combat Ballistic Armor System. Now, before you start accusing me of singing their praises, let's get one thing straight – I might not be the GA's number one fan, but I'm all about spilling the beans on what they're strapping onto themselves as they patrol our concrete jungles.
First things first, let's talk about this armor system that's got more layers than the shady deals that go down in the back alleys. The Combat Ballistic Armor System is like a mishmash of the latest tech and fancy materials, all carefully woven together to create an armor that's supposed to keep these GA officers safe, mobile, and ready to pounce. Yeah, I know what you're thinking – what's the deal with all the fancy words? Trust me, I'm right there with you.
So, this armor system is supposed to be the shining star of the show, the one that makes these officers look like they just stepped out of some high-tech comic book. It's supposed to be the embodiment of GA's dedication to their crew. Well, color me skeptical, but let's break this thing down.
The centerpiece of this armor is the Silicon Carbon Laminate Vest. Now, don't let the name fool you – it's not about fashion statements. It's about projecting authority through style, or at least that's what they want us to believe. This thick vest armor covers everything from chest to groin. It's like a high-tech security blanket, designed to withstand everything from bullets to nosy questions. The armor while looking thick is lightweight and gives these officers high maneuverability but still protects from most small-arms fire. I've got to get my hands on some of this stuff someday.
But wait, there's more – the Nanoflex Uniform Fabric. It's like someone took a pair of denim jeans and gave them an upgrade, but not the kind of upgrade I'd willingly trade my credits for. Supposedly, it's a mix of strength and comfort, allowing officers to move like they're auditioning for a cyber dance-off while staying ready for whatever chaos this city throws their way.
And then we've got the Polymer Composite Limb Deflectors – the high-tech equivalent of medieval armor for our futuristic knights in uniform. These things supposedly protect limbs while letting officers do some serious acrobatics as if they're trying to outdo the acrobats at the circus. If only we could get a ticket to that show, I've seen an officer get a laser shot to one of these things and keep going. Anyone got a full idea of what this stuff is made of. If you do please hit me and let me know.
But hold on, things start to get even wilder. Those Sentinel Gloves are like something straight out of a science fiction flick. Conductive polymers and graphene nanofibers? Yeah, they might sound impressive, but all I see is a bunch of jargon. What's the real deal? Hidden Tasers – that's the kicker. These gloves pack a surprise punch, like an extra dose of "zap" to go with your handshake. These gloves also allow their armor to communicate to their fire arms feeding them data from everything from how much ammo they currently have to exactly where they are aiming and even lets them control the weapon to fire lethal or nonlethal ammo...yet and still I don't see them ever use the nonlethal stuff.
And of course, we can't forget the VN Biomonitor, It's like having a tech babysitter for your vitals, keeping a watchful eye and sending updates to your friends and bosses. It's like they've got an AI nanny that won't let them get too banged up on the job.
Now this is a mouth full of words The Hyper-Resonant Footwear Matrix, or as I like to call it, the fancy boots, is all about making officers run faster and climb higher. It's like someone combined sneakers with rocket boosters. Yeah, it sounds cool, but is it really necessary? I mean, what's wrong with a good old-fashioned pair of kicks?
But the pièce de résistance is the Neuro-Syntonic Strength Amplification Weave. Now, I'm no tech genius, but apparently, the armor has some kind of muscle-enhancing weave inside that can help amplify an officer's strength. It's like they've got a secret power-up hidden in their armor. It's all very sci-fi and stuff, but I can't help but wonder if it's all just smoke and mirrors.
And finally, we've got the Integrated Comms and the Trifocal Sight Display. Mesh communication and augmented reality, all wrapped up in a neat little package. It's like they're living in a world of their own, completely connected and in the know.
So, there you have it – the Combat Ballistic Armor System. It's a tech wonderland that's supposed to make these GA officers look like the coolest cats on the block. And while I might not be raising my glass to the GA anytime soon, I can't deny that this armor is a head-turner. Is it all a facade? A high-tech illusion? Well, that's for you to decide. Until next time, keep your eyes peeled for the neon glow and the high-tech show, and let's see where this cyberpunk saga takes us. ✌️🌆
