- To triforce or not to triforce - that is the question, - lazily said Tianhe with pilots mind uploaded in him, slowly flying around his another creation and thinking about armoring. - Maybe, I should build tesseract? No, I've got more than enough of these tesseracts. OK, back to copter.

Unfinished machine, which was hovering in the middle of hangar, exploded cubes and vanished, and seconds after this a new machine appeared, which was pretty similar to the conventional helicopter.

- Lock-On Missile Launcher, Ravagers and Disintegrators… Looks like that the current weapon set will come in good during the battle for reactors, if I'll work as an anti-tank fighter. Yeah, missiles now are working pretty weird, but that's not a problem, plasma and SMG's should make up for it. Too bad, that Goliathon-copters now tend to die as soon as Aeroflak makes it's way to the battlefield…

"J-D, are you ready?" - silently appeared platoon leader's message in Robocomm.

"Ready, ready. Last question - should I install Ghost module or not? It's just 'cause my AT-copters CPU limit is almost full, so, to make a room for Ghost, I should remove jammers and/or secondary thrusters."

"Hmm. Better remove jammers, work from large height and leave railers to us. Or even better - remove both jammers and thrusters and install Ghost and Blink."

"OK. Cray, Gene or Tianhe's combat programs?"

"Cray's, you'll be attacker today. Al - Gene-hovermedic with Constructors and Disintegrators, Mark - Tianhe-hovertzer with Goliathon and Disintegrators, Jim - Cray-insectcopter with Erasers and Proto-Seekers, me - Cray-skid with Tesla Novas and Ion Distorters."

"That's one powerful assault platoon. Where'll be fighting?"

"Spitzer Dam, today there'll be some great battle!"

"Acknowledged. When we'll hyperblink to orbit?"

"In thirty minutes."

"That's great, I'll be able to re-paint my bot," - finished the silent conversation J-D and swapped cube manipulator for paint applicator. Calm process of bot's modification and re-painting made time pass seemingly faster, so the hyperblink of the mothership didn't disturb the pilot, who've diverted most of his thinking processes on robot's building, but the astrogation data about where the ship've exited the hyperblink instantly bypassed all of the thinking filters and made it's way into the pilot's mind. Shocked J-D immediately entered the platoon's comm channel, which was possible, because their's ships've exited the hyperblink not too far from his own.

"Boss, what do you think about it?" - asked Mark platoon's leader.

"I don't understand… We were supposed to exit hyperblink at the GJ 1214b's orbit, but instead, we've hyperblinked to Earth."

"But this Earth is strange," - joined the conversation Al. - "Ecology is fine, no huge building agglomerations, too few satellites, continents are different… To be honest - this planet reminds me of Earth of the early 21st century."

"What shall we do now?" - asked Jim everyone in the platoon.

"Who knows. Let's now listen to their's channels, and then just teleport bots on the surface and commence recon operation," - suggested J-D.

"OK, let's do this," - replied Boss to him, - "By the way - everyone, activate Ghosts on yours ships and change orbits - I don't think any one of us would like an anti-space missile."

"Not a problem!" - replied platoon at the same time with theirs motherships Ghost systems activations and changing orbits.

- Colleague, did you see this? - asked one astronomer of Viridian Observatory another.

- If you mean five huge white cube-like spaceships - yes.

- We need to report this immediately, - said the first astronomer, which was already going to the videophone.

- Wow. And now they've vanished, - told him his colleague.

- But recordings are still there! - happily responded the first one, opening a communication channel with government.

"OK… So, according to what we've received and deciphered, this planet is inhabited by a pretty much normal humans?" - asked Boss the rest of a platoon.

"Yeah, and there are also some anomalous beasts called "pokemon"," - responded Al to him. - "Had they ate too much protonium or something?"

"Was this a joke?"

"Not quite. If you've failed to notice, this planet has a pretty big deposits of protonium-511. Of course, according to the received data, pokemon are somewhat normal carbon-based organisms - well, most of them, - so the protonium, which, as you remember, is capable of sustaining stable nuclear fusion reaction, cannot be integrated into theirs metabolism, but there's still something wrong with them."

"Enough of this, what shall we do now?" - asked everyone Mark.

"Commence a planetfall, of course. Jim - replace your Proto-Seekers with some subatomic machine guns, 'cause Seekers home on protonium, and we don't need it today. To all in platoon - install pilot's seats and place an SCU platforms in them, we may need them today, if there'll be problem with CPU - remove a chassis cube or two, it's not like you'll use equilibrium machine or tesseract. I'll take a multi-purpose tank with a two Aeroflak Guardians and four Disintegrators, so cover me from small foes. EMP modules are better left on motherships today."

"Not a problem, Boss. Radars, Receivers - as usual?"

"Of course. Five minutes, then we teleport to the surface. Leave SCU programs as they are now."

"OK," - responded all the members of the platoon.

"Just like the Birmingham Power Station's surroundings," - messaged in the Robocomm Jim, who was examining platoon's teleporting zone through his railcannons scopes. - "Boss, where we'll go?"

"To the road, looks like there is someone there. If you see human - upload yourself to SCU, get off the robot and carefully go to him, but still keep your robot under control. J-D, Jim - keep flying sky-high, look, examine, message, spot, cover, escort our land group."

"OK, Boss!" - replied two platoon members, making theirs robots ascend.

"Al - cover, keep nanos ready, Mark - descend slightly and switch to SMGs, formation - triangle."

"Acknowledged!" - said pilots to him, switching weapons and taking theirs places in the formation. Platoon slowly started moving to theirs point of destination.

"Boss, I see roughly ten years old black-haired boy and a tomboy girl on the bike! They're currently trying to escape from the swarm of these huge bee-wasps! Aeroflak might be very useful here!" - said J-D in the Robocomm.

"I knew it will come to use," - replied Boss to him, activating blink module and instantly covering a large chunk of distance to platoon's recon squad. Soon his tank with fully recharged energy drove on the road and, paying next to no attention to boy and girl on a bicycle, aimed cannons at the swarm, which was not too far away from him.

- Let's play melody of destruction! - for some strange reason said Boss through his SCU's speakers, activating one of the Cray's combat programs and opening fire from Aeroflaks.

Two twin anti-air cannons screamed as they've started vomiting proximity-detonated energy projectiles into the dense pokemon swarm. Swarm instantly started to thin out, while ground below was becoming more and more covered with a ripped and burned remnants of the bugs. After just a several volleys what little've left of swarm decided it wasn't worth it and retreated, leaving robots along with a shocked boy and girl on a bicycle behind.

Authors note: yes, Ash and Misty were escaping Beedrill's swarm here, 'cause plot reasons and alternate universe. Maybe, Samurai here was more jackass than he was in the original, maybe, because of something other, but in the end, they were escaping and got saved by the robocrafters.
