HAYABUSA-096

**HAYABUSA-096** is a G/NEX stealth operative known for his swordsmanship, blinding speed, and ability to provide medical support in the field. He was a noble Chazi warrior; A swordsman who meditates to heal himself physically, spiritually, and mentally when he is inactive from combat. 096's cybernetic enhancements are so prominent that his augmentations practically make him a droid, and less of a nevian than he ever was.

He is the fastest warrior in the resistance movement, aided by his unmatched agility and teleportation ability, allowing him to strike fast and evade attacks at a blink of an eye, all in the ways they never expected.

## Biography

### Background

Yi'San Dihail, a Chazi swordsman, has spent his whole life tempering his body and sharpening his mind to the point where thought and action are virtually indistinguishable. Though he only uses violence as a last resort, the grace and speed of his blade guarantees that resolution is always swift. Yi, one of the few living practitioners of the art of Raju, and dedicated his life to carrying on his people's legacy, scrutinising potential new followers using the Seven Lenses of Insight to determine the most worthy among them.

At some point in his life as a warrior, he managed to earn a place within Tristanna's rebel army, that are focused on repelling the Nordic forces in Losteria; Effectively making him a warrior of his own right.

Notably, Yi despises technology and prefers a simpler way of life. When he learns about PROJECT corporation, he swears to destroy it, perceiving it as a threat to him, his followers, students, allies, and the entire planet.

### Abduction and Transformation

Yi, like the others, were greatly traumatised when PROJECT forces attacked Chazys and began annihilating the whole population, and vowed vengeance on the megacorporation. As a result, he motivated himself to destroy PROJECT, and he kept the souvenirs or things of his slain followers and colleagues to keep himself strong willed. He was arrested and experimented on, effectively changing him into a Cyborg and as expected, they have proceed to erase his memories.

As a result, **PROJECT HAYABUSA** is born. Now a silent killing machine of PROJECT, his robotic mind altered to function exclusively to PROJECT corporation's desires. Deep down, he tries to defy his programming by accessing the corporation's database and learning about the G/NEX rebellion and their leader, ASHE-159. He also managed to learn about a secret warrior known as the LANTERN-000, but he chose not to share his knowledge about him.

### A Call to Arms: Defection

In the aftermath of the global riots, PROJECT HAYABUSA quickly defected, allowing him to easily slice his captors and engineers with his new HASAKI-13.5 sword, unlike many cyborg defectors, he readily circumvented his programming commands and rebelled against PROJECT. As a result, he travelled to Aristotle to recover from the exhausting escape he had previously pulled. He encounters FIONA-384, a defector who was able to free herself from her mind control. Not wasting any time, he decides to meet her and have a conversation.

When he met the former GEMINI BLADE, his influence on FIONA-384 was so much, that she has managed to bypass her brain chip and agree with his plans of deserting the megacorporation, and seek to do the right thing, which is to side with the G/NEX. When EION-013 joins them, the trio bonds and eventually forms their own team, the **TRI/NETIC**. It took the megacorporation a long time to find them, and as a result, they have fought their way from Aristotle into the Panamoan Republic, seeing it as one of the few places on the planet that is still safe from PROJECT.

### PROJECT-G/NEX War

Throughout the PROJECT-G/NEX War, HAYABUSA-096 has shown a dedication for assisting the resistance group in combating PROJECT. As a result, he is an important warrior. He ensures that all megacorporation forces are perfectly sliced into pieces as he intended, and he is noted for having a highly sophisticated cybernetic body designed for maximum speed and agility. However, he prefers seclusion even in their own headquarters, as his mind is cluttered with unending thoughts of the megacorporation's illicit experimentation.

One of the first advanced concepts, Yi was held by PROJECT for extensive experimentation, and then finally freed himself, then later sided with the G/NEX. His psyche may still contain some glitches, but his experimental "pulsing light" HASAKI bladed sword serves the resistance, with its precision balance.

#### Rampancy

##### Prelude: Unbridled Wrath

Before to the calamitous events of *Rampancy*, **HAYABUSA-096** and EION-013 collaborated to enter Brimstone, Freya and release innocent individuals. After almost being apprehended, he managed to whisk Eion out of harm's way by using his stealth and teleportation to avoid detection. He then destroys a few prisons to liberate innocent people and chooses to ponder in a glass building about the megacorporation's crimes, completely oblivious to Eion's arguments that they should keep moving. Before Hayabusa can respond, a young girl in armour appears in front of them, and they quickly save her from falling to certain death. They let her sit to introduce herself as he knows she is a defector.

Their attempts on introducing themselves are only interrupted when APEX-363 bursted through the building, forcing the three to jump mid air and attack the huge beast. As they landed to the ground, they are unable to control his knack for bloodlust and collateral damage, forcing Eion to focus on the survivors while Hayabusa and Zelina attempts to hold him off. Realising that the beast has come after them to satisfy his objective, SWIFT BLAST decided to risk it all, and unleashed a lightning surge, followed by Hayabusa using the best of his skills to cut the beast down. Satisfied, they pointed their weapons at him.

HAYABUSA-096 then taps his blade to its jaw, only for APEX to roar in anguisg, revealing what appears to be a nevian head before rushing away into darkness. It turns out, ASHE-159 nearly took it out with a shot to his forehead and proceeds to bring them back to their base, but she noticed Zelina was nowhere to be found.

##### Experimentation, and the Titans

During the events of the incident known as *Rampancy*, HAYABUSA-096 discovered the terrifying enormous mechas made by PROJECT, such as OBELISK, TAGGART, and the most terrifying of them, ANNIHILATOR. As a result, if ASHE-159 allows him someday, he vows to destroy and burn everything inside the SUPREME headquarters of PROJECT, hoping that this plan will work and he will no longer see technological monsters. Knowing that the horrors that the megacorporation has brought to his life is beyond the scope of sanity.

As a result, HAYABUSA-096 joined the resistance right away to investigate the incident in Technovolk. The TRI/NETIC team, made up of him, FIONA-384, and EION-013, was able to get a head start as they soon uncovered the rampant murder and destruction in Technovolk. While surveying the entire city, he finds across a large secret PROJECT laboratory; he is terrified to see inside, since he witnessed nevian test subjects being amputated and mutilated in the megacorporation's objective to make an army of cyborg warriors. As a result, the team demolished the laboratory before regrouping with the resistance group. He also discovered a small underground complex, filled with cybernetics and horrifying objects that resemble organs.

He was able to compose himself and continue with the mission after he stopped talking about PROJECT's horrific kidnapping of innocent men and women to be made into cyborgs. They were shortly discovered by OBELISK, who had been ordered to destroy the city of Technovolk and anybody within it. The resistance fought the gigantic mecha, but their efforts were futile primarily since he was too strong and tough for them. He is even disappointed that BRONZAMITE-625 did not defeat him in combat. Before the resistance can disable OBELISK, TAGGART appears, lunges at him and easily destroys a whole building in the process. They attempted to fight both Titan-class mechas, but are woefully outmatched despite sustaining zero casualties, which he quickly suggested to ASHE-159 to retreat, but they are in need of transportation. BRONZAMITE-625 quickly transforms into a car and everyone rides, despite being slightly cramped in space. As they ride, they encounter PROJECT forces, as well as vehicles. Not to mention, he also managed to witness TRISTANNA-651 joining them, after saving them from the pursuers. he recognises her as a fabled Losterian warrior who fights against Nordic forces in their land's occupation.

When they returned to the base, he quickly broke down after seeing the crimes committed by PROJECT corporation.

#### The COALESCENCE

Prior to the events of *The COALESCENCE,* HAYABUSA-096 did not serve with the rebels as he was traumatised by the unlawful testing of PROJECT that he discovered seven years before. As a result, he refuses to take part in any combat missions. As a result, the TRI/NETIC squad was mostly inactive, most likely assisting his recovery through their presence and friendship, as they are seen together covertly travelling around the planet, as well as flying a NEXIJET and setting on top of mountain tops, where he used to meditate, especially in high altitude areas (A callback to his past). As a result, his fighting spirit and drive have gradually resurfaced, and he is ready to rejoin the rebels.

To his surprise, the resistance's next mission is to investigate the mysterious disappearance of VI-516 in Rutherland. He is perplexed at the moment, wondering how one of their best members could have suddenly gone to one of the world's most secure nations, free from the megacorporation's oppressive control. Upon reaching the country, he wasted no time investigating, alongside the entire group. However, he quickly stumbled upon a large group of PROJECT bots. The bots are far more advanced than the usual PATROL-05 bots, but he still effortlessly slices them to pieces after a few minutes of struggling. He concludes that PROJECT must've been upgrading their standard patrol bot, since their original modules are known for being canon fodder.

The resistance has learned, unexpectedly, that VI-516 has aligned herself with the nightrider after her security firm's AI was taken in a heist orchestrated by PROJECT's forces. As a result, they rapidly split up to scout, recon, and infiltrate different places in order to intercept VI-516's possible routes. However, they were unable to intercept her as a highway chase raged across the country, thanks to PROJECT's three-man infiltration team securing the stolen AI chip in a large ARMADILLO truck. After JINX-362 stopped the chase, he observed VI-516 and PSYLOCKE-832 kill GRANDIOSE, forcing MEDARDA and SHADOW to flee. They all jump at the chance to confront COALESCENCE's elite assassin in a very diplomatic manner.

However, he changed his perspective on her. Rather than seeing her as an "oversized" PROJECT MEDARDA, he views her as an assassin with a complicated life, learning that her wife was killed many years ago, thanks to a tyrannical god not belonging to the planet.

#### Going All Out

##### Defence of Obrinia, Siege of Daitoshi

In *Going All Out*, He has spent more time helping people all around the planet, other than ruthlessly killing PROJECT soldiers and bots that he comes across his path. As a result, he participates in the *Defence of Obrinia* after a long interruption in terms of communication. As the rebels helped RUBICORE fend off the massive threat of Command Line forces, even their warriors were ordered to retreat. He is disappointed, wanting a glorious fight, but that sudden retreat was presumably due to PSYLOCKE-832. After that, He managed to bring back SHIRO-113 in the Siege of Daitoshi as BRIENNE-218 leads the way for the resistance to liberate the city and the entire country.

##### SHIRO-113: The Unforgiven

In 3017, HAYABUSA-096 is quickly warned about SHIRO-113 going rogue; He decides to confront him for his actions. Coincidentally, he finds him resting in the mountaintops of Roji. He questioned him for his acts, to which the latter implies that the entire global corporate war has taken a toll on his mind and body, hence it results in his excessively brutal killings against PROJECT. He also discovers that he just recently killed various cyborgs and criminals, with a few of them are innocent, forcing him to surrender, which the rojinese cyborg simply refused, and walked away; However, he reminds him, that extreme violence clouds his judgement.

Following that, the Chazi warrior and the blade dancer attempted to personally arrest him after discovering that SHIRO-113 had committed a slaughter against many people, most notably mafia organisations; Even if some members are innocent. Both G/NEX and RUBICORE have agreed to arrest him if an opportunity arises. It was a nightmare in Zandatsu, but the combined forces intercepted his position and disabled his sword, stopping him from attacking any of them; as a result, he surrenders and is taken by the rebels, much to TRISTANNA-651's dismay. HAYABUSA-096 was not delighted to see the day when his harsh nature would be unleashed without mercy. As he is taken into custody, the two of them quickly confronted him and it is unknown how was he redeemed, or monitored afterwards, but it was said that their interrogation was highly intense.

##### Land of Prosperity: Losteria

TRISTANNA-651 brings SHIRO-113 into Losteria after a long session of discussing his actions and the Chazi swordsman to Losteria, along with a slew of native rebels, after finding them from rubble, and rescuing them. Liberation, as she meant, is essential for her own nation. They lost no time in ridding the country of the megacorporation's control, seeing this as the day she had long awaited; However, she finds it odd that the hidden defences of PROJECT are somehow useless. When they arrived in the capital, a devastated Grunthel, they found a significant number of Command Line forces waiting for them, as a result, SHIRO-113 steps in front of them, and pulls out his sword.

They charged into battle with no warning. TRISTANNA-651's group is quickly destroyed due to a lack ranged weapons (Only a few have firearms, or bows); the swift arrival of armoured vehicles further makes matters worse. The Blade Dancer made them attack strategically and greatly demonstrated her skill by killing hundreds of PROJECT soldiers with her blades. However, a gigantic figure arrives, forcing the Command Line forces to back up as PROJECT TAGGART aggressively charges at them and smacks TRISTANNA-651 away, effectively killing her into a bloody pulp. As a result, the rebels attempt to stop the raging machine, with minimal or no efforts at all, as the Command Line forces simply watched TAGGART slaughter the "resistance" of TRISTANNA-651.

After a long ensuing fight, all of the G/NEX members have joined the fight, as PSYLOCKE-832 and SCYLLA-028's collaboration on the country prior was actually beneficial, even if it seemed doubtful. They have now attempted to destroy TAGGART. All were unsuccessful despite their best efforts, but are fortunate enough not to be hit by his massive fists or the hammer. Fortunately, EQUINOX-612 reverses time, effectively reviving her. This allowed them to fight back at TAGGART while he is rooted in place. Luckily, RUBICORE has sent an army to deal with Command Line forces in Losteria, driving the raging mecha into a retreat as he sustains massive damage and was later seen fleeing, before settling somewhere in Brimstone, Freya; Hoping for a rematch against her to kill her again, or OBELISK. Due to this, the trio are able to drive their foes out of the country, and are able to rebuild again their fractured land into a beautiful paradise, slow but steady.

#### Technological Lies

HAYABUSA-096 has recently been mysterious, sending out videos of himself in various location, indicating that the dark, horrid truth about PROJECT would be disclosed soon. He is then spotted somewhere in Heliga, informing his own group that he needed to clear his head. He had just returned after a few months to the Panamoan Republic after proving his capacity to combat Walker-class mechas on his own. It's also worth noting that he stole a SCOUT Walker and used it to go on a rampage somewhere in Brimstone, Freya, until the megacorporation destroyed his own stolen walker. Following that, he merely follows their lead, fighting and infiltrating as usual.

##### A Dark Truth

    This is it. An alliance created to aid the G/NEX allows HAYABUSA-096 to burn down the SUPREME headquarters if he so wishes, especially if the apparently final military operation against PROJECT is successful. He successfully tore his way past corporate forces as he deployed with the entire group following a bombing campaign due to his anger for the megacorporation and their reckless use of unrivalled technology. He looks to enjoy the excitement of battle as he witnesses the corporate soldiers succumb to the might of the good and their evil being purged right in front of their eyes. He does, however, query ASHE-159 about the headquarters, which he has been included in their plan to infiltrate.

As a result, the TRI/NETIC has chosen to infiltrate the underground floors alongside the Rising Falcon alliance members, killing all PROJECT staff but saving the lives of those who desire to defect. Taking advantage of the entire plan, he proceeds to do a lot of things, one of which is to destroy all of the equipment that he finds in the entire underground facility, the next is to cover the corpses in shrouds in respect to the fallen victims, and the last is to demolish everything through the use of planted explosives, but he allowed everyone to leave the underground subsidiary of the SUPREME before detonating it, all while the entire facility is left in ruins.

##### Confrontation

As with the others, he had witnessed the rest of the rebels confronting Lundgren. They are unable to take his words seriously, until he explained PROJECT's true origins and the sole founder, which was not him at all. He even states that some powerful mecha had more authority than him.

They then confronted Muldoon Lundgren after his men gets slaughtered on the top floor. Knowing he has no backup plans in case he is cornered, he simply stands in front of them, seemingly unafraid of the defectors from his megacorporation. He mocks them, believing that killing him will not bring the war to an end, despite the fact that PROJECT is losing it. BRIENNE-218 quickly steps in front of the group, asking the Iceborn leader if she could kill him, which ASHE-159 agrees to, while discussing how he is one of the most evil men on the planet, and his operatives are just as evil. Before she can rip him in half, Muldoon pulls out a device, which he attempts to disable the rebels' armour or cybernetic bodies with it briefly, but SCYLLA-028 later halts it after throwing a kunai at his palm.

Muldoon Lundgren simply laughs despite his wound and presses a button that livestreams their confrontation. Muldoon simply admits that the megacorporation was founded by an extraterrestrial, tyrannical god who wanted to control the planet Nexonia Prime and destroy it after his empire had controlled it; in doing so, he founded a megacorporation that was passed down to him at the time of his unlikely death at the hands of BISHOP-805. As the rebels have no idea who is this god, he simply showed them a holographic projection of the Darklord and the things he knew about the lord. Still, HAYABUSA-096 pointed out that he still carried out the god's agenda, making his a lesser evil.

ASHE-159 declared an event for the entire planet to watch as they cleared the skyscraper and brought Lundgren with them. It was to humiliate Lundgren in front of millions, if not billions, of people. The rebels promptly organised it someplace in the Aryaine Kingdom, encircling the region with Reel TEC screens, planning to show all of his words, atrocities, and an unending array of evil that he has performed in the name of greed and power. BRIENNE-218 questioned the leader about not instantly executing the vile CEO, to which she simply replied that the public deserves to witness the most evil nevian suffer at hands of good before he dies, and concluding that eliminating the life of such a selfish monster may jeopardise their values as a hero.

The day arrives. Lundgren is left in fearful silence as he witnesses billions of people watching him on stage as the G/NEX warriors drag him into the centre for all to see; to capitalise on this, She wanted everyone to witness all the wrong that he did through the Reel TEC screens surrounding the stage, which he attempted to disable, but he is ultimately defenceless as he lacks any means of protecting himself. As he suffers from the public's censure, he tries to reverse the tide by activating a switch on his neck, which summons a bulky drone bot; causing public anger as Lundgren attempts to flee while using the bot as protection.

However, ASHE-159 swiftly disables it after help from Rising Falcon allies and is astonished to see the bot destroyed after a railgun fire from PSYLOCKE-832 obliterates it. With no hope or escape preparations, Lundgren is left on stage, vulnerable to every sort of attack unleashed by the audience, mainly hurled objects and some machinery, as he is left to perish slowly at the hands of the audience. The rebels watched in silence, deeply satisfied that they have found a means to get rid of him, without ruthlessly cutting him apart. After the ceremony, the rebels and their formed allies simply asked the crowd to dispose of his body and burn it, since they saw no purpose for his cadaver.

HAYABUSA-096 has finally found happiness with his death, declaring it a good riddance.

### Codename: REVIVAL

There is nothing much interesting for him so far despite their assistance to repel the corporate invasion on Rutherland, only the presence of REDEEMER-865 has opened his eyes. However, he was ecstatic to see two powerful figures in front of them, knowing that they can be the key to fully stop ANNIHILATOR. After the G/NEX warriors and rebels have collaborated with RUBICORE to get rid of the remaining invasion force, he later left and was the first to rest in their headquarters, proclaiming that he is tired from all the previous operations and adventures.

As he was resting in the headquarters, he is looking for a way to look more nevian, whilst performing maintenance checks on his own cybernetic body. It turns out, he was the one who gave SHIRO-113 a new set of armour for him in respect, which resembled his own cybernetic body. He then practices his techniques to prepare for an upcoming fight, knowing that all of them will be pushed through the limits when they fight their most powerful enemy to come.

He clearly wasn't interested on anything in the news, only wanting for the war to finally end, as the "aftermath" is merely a propaganda lie.

### Bleeding Edge: Ultimatum

#### Premonition

HAYABUSA-096 and the rest of the group have intercepted her evident location: Brimstone, Freya, after hearing that ASHE-159 has gone without informing them. The fact that LILIAN-395 has joined forces with her has obviously caused such a heated debate that they must accept the Furious Warmother as a temporary ally. FIONA-384 was given interim leadership when the two Iceborn warriors fled to pursue their plan, prompting 384 to order them to retreat and go their separate ways, but demands that all of them join any possible military operations at the time.

He was NOT happy about this. As a result, he has the urge to convince the de facto leader to return to the same location. After a few hours, they have returned and destroyed PROGRAM SLIPSTREAM. He even has the audacity to reprimand LILIAN-395, despite their actions being right. 096 showed disappointment at the seemingly death of their leader and their failed attempts to revive him, which they all kneeled down in grief, as they have failed to keep their leader alive.

#### A Different World

ANNIHILATOR appears to smash them, but they are spared from annihilation thanks to the intervention of OLIVEIRI-709. As a result, the tyrant employs his ultimate power to exile them to the Digital Realm. Unfortunately for them, whether they like it or not, they are expected to fight the wicked dictator himself. The realm is described by **HAYABUSA-096** as a "unique, independent world that is separate from the real to the digital world." He is perplexed to see ASHE-159 resurrected and able to acclimatise with her rebuilt body, ordering them to hide around the open landmarks of the Matrix, only to be proven pointless as the tyrant easily located them after a long delay.

Without further ado, he locks them into the Forsaken Arena for a duel. The G/NEX are obviously outmatched, but their numbers can prevail. FIONA-384 advises him that his TRIPLE STRIKE manoeuvre should be used to an extensive amount, since its teleporting nature allows him to instantly evade all incoming attacks while destroying three targets at the same time, and of course he took the advice.

#### A Duel for Fate

HAYABUSA-096 marvels at his domain, before preparing himself both physically and mentally against the overlord that demanded a duel. After that, they all witness that the dimension is perfectly controlled by him, leading to the conclusion that he created it from nothing, which the tyrant also revealed that he used to be a living mind without any physical form. After that, he lets his fellow comrades say whatever they want, in order to boost their morale, knowing that he will be the most powerful foe they will ever fight, in their last ever battle to prevent any of PROJECT to rise in the aftermath of the war. He finally proclaimed that it is the fight of their lives.

**HAYABUSA-096** mocks him for shrugging the fact that Muldoon Lundgren has been killed, which he gave him an insult insult regarding his attempts of becoming a nevian again. He simply loses his temper, and the group holds him back. Notably, all of them are able to overhear that ANNIHILATOR never viewed Lundgren as valuable, proving that a nevian element ruling a megacorporation is to blame for its apparent downfall. Knowing those words, they all concluded that the overlord seeks to rule the planet by merging his own dimension to the Physical World.

And then they fight for their lives, knowing that fate lies in the aftermath of this duel. An all-out attack in every direction was employed by the G/NEX, in order to overwhelm him and prevent him from unleashing offensive manoeuvres and force himself to be in a defensive state. They were actually doing MINIMAL progress in order to kill him, which he triumphantly laughed as he mocked their lack of heavy firepower, even JINX-362's rockets fail to damage his armour.

Safe to say, **HAYABUSA-096** seems to enjoy himself in the entire brutal fight. Due to their assistance with OLIVEIRI-709's special abilities in the realm, which causes the tyrant to target her, but she managed to perfectly outsmart him, long enough to unleash, the **DAWNING WAVE** that caused him great damage. Owing to his severe damage, he resorts to blindly swinging his hammer, and ultimately kills VI-516 as a result. As a result, he now decides to utilise his **SUPERSONIC** ultimate ability for maximum speed and agility, alongside a radically enhanced reaction time.

### Unfortunate Demise

> "My speed, still has limits. It has been an honour serving with you all.... Warriors..."
>
> - 096's emotional last words

As he witnessed SHIRO-113 getting killed by ANNIHILATOR himself, he does not falter as he generates sonic waves around him to disorient him with his unmatched speed. Combining his non-stop use of the TRIPLE STRIKE ability, and activation of the WUKAN BLADE has enabled him to damage him in multiple areas, particularly his joints while simultaneously enjoying the fact that he perceives his movements in slow motion due to his speed. However, the overlord slams his hammer to the ground, perfectly interrupting his impressive feat and losing his insane speed momentum, which forced him to attack him with TRIPLE STRIKE, yet again. The mecha overlord gets annoyed and becomes enraged.

*And then he meets his end, as the tyrant casually swinged his hammer at a random direction, which immediately killed him. His death made it far more difficult for the rebels to fight him. However, his death did not go in vain.*

## Personality

Yi'San Dihail was an honourable guy recognised for his monotone voice and a strong emphasis on meditation, complete silence, fair judgement, and precise logic. Overall, he is a stoic, fair, honest, and loyal man. As a result, he serves as a strong role model across Chazys. However, he has shown extreme disdain on advanced technology, particularly PROJECT corporation, particularly referring to their illegal experiments, acts of war and the deployment of uncontrollable Mechas in the battlefield.

Throughout the PROJECT-G/NEX War, HAYABUSA-096 was loyal to their cause of liberating the planet from the oppression of the megacorporation. Despite his almost-robotic appearance and monotone voice, he has expressed his true emotions such as frustration and anger when placed in serious or unforgiving situations, such as when he discovered that innocent people are being mutilated in order to become cyborgs, their hidden labs found all over the world, and his lack of patience whenever he sees a PROJECT propaganda video. Regardless of his disdain for the megacorporation's ceaseless wrongdoings, he performs the duties of a G/NEX warrior with endless determination, even if it costs his life.

## Abilities

HAYABUSA-096, a cybernetically enhanced warrior, is one of the quickest warriors to ever grace Nexonia Prime's hyper advanced warfare; capable of teleportation via his signature TRIPLE STRIKE ability manoeuvre, and the use of HIGHLANDER ultimate ability allows him to run at his opponents at blinding , supersonic speeds. Because of his nanotechnology-infused 9090 and Arcanic Polysteel plating, he is capable of self-repairing.

### Technological Capabilities

* **TRIPLE STRIKE**: HAYABUSA-096 teleports across the battlefield with blinding speed, dealing quick damage to chosen opponents in his path, while simultaneously becoming un-targetable. He can choose to strike three targets, or hit the same target thrice for maximum damage. This is his most infamous manoeuvre in combat, being regarded as a "cheap teleportation killing move" by PROJECT, most notably Command Line soldiers.

* **ADAPTIVE MEDITATION**: He rejuvenates his body by focus of mind, restoring Health, removing injuries much easier and taking reduced damage for a short time. This allows him to perfectly repair crippled limbs, but not restore his heart or head if those are destroyed through an injury.

* **WUKAN BLADE**: His sword emits a very high frequency that causes it to increase its power and cut through almost anything. Obviously activated when the blade glows with a yellow or orange hue.

* **SUPERSONIC**: He moves with superhuman speed, generating sonic waves to form around him, which can be used for a powerful running attack. This also enhances his reflexes and reaction time by an extreme degree, rated in the percentage of 150%. In doing so, he needs to stay mobile to maintain the ability and prevent fatigue.

* **Heads-Up Display**: HAYABUSA-096 is equipped with a highly advanced HUD.

* **ZERO/G Footwear**: Like a few PROJECT warriors, his boots are equipped with ZERO/G, allowing him to scale on vertical and upside down surfaces.

### Skills

* **Master Swordsman**: The Wukan clan holds Yi'San's swordsmanship in high regard, and was undeniably known as their best swordsman. Even Shirotashi is impressed with his level of skill. He is still one of the best swordsmen in cybernetic history, as HAYABUSA-096 is theorised to be fully capable of defeating PROJECT SHADOW in a fight.
* **Master Spy**: HAYABUSA-096 is naturally skilled at being a spy and performing clandestine, infiltration and espionage operations. However, his skills are matched by SCYLLA-028 and exceeded by PSYLOCKE-832.
* **Demolitions Expert**: He is expert in demolitions, particularly known to set explosive charges when he intends to destroy a PROJECT building or any of their own property. Unexpected for a man who despises advanced technology, he sometimes uses excessively large building disintegrators to "burn down" any skyscraper.

## Trivia

### General

* His death was widely regarded to be extremely disappointing.
* HAYABUSA-096's swordsmanship is easily comparable to SHIRO-113. He has actually better skills, due to a higher amount of discipline, where the latter's skills developed from aggression and violence.
* His HASAKI sword has two blades. He unleashes the second blade in full, intense combat.
* Through his ultimate ability, the HIGHLANDER, he can run at the speed of four hundred miles per hour. This is faster than PROGRAM SLIPSTREAM on normal speeds, but her full speed overshadows his maximum by twenty eight.
* SHIRO-113's armour is coincidentally identical to his, during the events of *Technological Lies*.
* He has disdain for Shirrako, aka PROJECT SHADOW due to his affinity for using the shadows.
* He actually shows resent or distrust PSYLOCKE-832.
* The nation of Chazys rests on his shoulders after PROJECT took over the planet as a whole. When he died, he was given a funeral that is organised by the Chazinese Armed Forces.
