Fanon:Death Octagon

Up in the sky! Is it a bird? Is it a flying Sassafras Supreme? No, it's the DO-8 Orbital Defense Unit. And if you see its superlaser dish, it sees you. And do you know what happens when it sees you?

ZAP!

Yes, that's what happens. Complete and utter disintegration.

The Death Octagon, formally known as the DO-8 Orbital Defense Unit, is a practically unfightable boss that guards Octrax's Edifice, courtesy of. Idea by Diepmon.

Design
Think Death Star, but octagonal and purple. Does it need to be really spelled out for you?

The Death Octagon
The unfortunate thing about the Death Octagon is that you can't destroy it. There's absolutely NO WAY of hitting it, as it hovers in the air 30,000 feet above Octrax's fortress, put there by whoever created it (it's conjectural between Dr. Lacus, the Hesperians, or Octrax. All of these parties declined to comment or smacked a pie in the reporter's face.) Whatever its origin, it remains in high orbit around Octrax's fortress, guarding it against anything that isn't a polygon or other being it's programmed not to target.

Avoiding the Death Octagon
It has one flaw, though (no, not a lack of adequate shield generators on a thermal exhaust port.) The Death Octagon's patrol pattern leaves a fairly large opening that players can slip through to enter Octrax's fortress, denoted by the lack of a shadow and by listening to the Imperial March. The background music is a good indicator if the Death Octagon nears the targeting area; if it fades, then players can move in, but if it starts getting louder, they must move out of its targeting area. If players are within the Death Octagon's shadow, they are guaranteed to die within 10 seconds, as a gigantic purple laser will come down from the sky and vaporize them.
