The Mark 3 custom armor frame for the Beast leader, Shizune.

After receiving heavy damage in her MK2 frame while defending their new ally, Alice, during a hostile assault by Longinus forces, the vixen needed another overhaul. This time however her armor systems would be bolstered by specially made nanomachines given by Alice, dubbed AN units. With the special machines running through her system she easily adapted to the new weapon system created by Artemis at Alice's request. Enhancing the anti-gravity abilities of the MK2 and utilizing an all range attack system similar to the Kyu-bit drones from the MK1, she has been gifted with what is called the Tsukiyomi Ring.

A large detachable and fragmenting ring with small powerful AG drive reactors the ring acts offensively and defensively with Shizune's thought commands instead of using AI programs like the MK1 utilized. In an instant, she can will the ring to act from a high maneuverability booster, allowing her high speed and agility in air and space. She can detach it from her body for combat and defense at the cost of speed and agility though not by much. The ring can then project a powerful energy shield that can repel even a high power laser blast, or charge to fire one of it's own, though it must attach itself to the mother unit to recharge. A secondary attack causes the ring to activate an energy beam system, on it's borders which turns itself into a beam chakram, or a Ring of Death as one technician put it. With Shizune's control it can outmaneuver any airborne enemy and slice them to ribbons and cleave a battleship from stem to stern. A final attack method is to fragment the ring into 9 smaller units. The 7 ring fragments can either act as independent beam firing units similar to the blaster bits, or activate 3 energy daggers from it's central point and combination points to attack targets with stabs or slashes. They interestingly enough cause a shrieking sound when attacking and Shizune has called these 7 units her Fangs. The 2 Taiji symbols rotate at high speed while covered in an energy field and can either defend her from small attacks or combine into a 'yin-yang' energy shield. They also make impressive attack weapons as well. However, they all can only be operated from their mother unit for at least 5 minutes at full usage, though she can detach the taiji units independently for a longer period. She can also detach a single Fang as a scout or distraction instead of being forced to detach everything like in her MK1 frame.

Added to her arsenal are modified energy blasters built into her palms which can fire rapid pulses of laser energy, or charged orbs or plasma grenades. She can also press her hands together to fire a medium class high powered beam, while weaker than the Tsukiyomi Cannon, is more powerful than her palm blasters. She is also armed with a high frequency vibra-katana given to her as a gift from one of her support units as a fall back weapon.

Shizune has come far from being the snobbish state of the art prototype, to the calm and collected leader of the new Beast Squad. And with the additions of Alice and the Kyubi triplets, she will be more than a challenge to her enemies at Longinus.
