The action REALLY heats up now! Enjoy!
Military base, 1 hour after RED's arrival
RED's POV
By now I had taken control of virtually every vehicle and machine in the base without the humans noticing. While I had been looking around I had come across some navigational orders for an attack satellite, it was due to pass over this side of the planet in 8 hours. "Brilliant! If can infect that satellite, I can infect the entire world in a single shot!" I thought excitedly, but first I had to infect a strong enough transmitter to get to it and I had to secure a stronger presence in the city of Townsville incase things go pear-shaped. "I also need a fall-back position."
I came across a map room, as well as maps there were also co-ordinates for a battle fleet 10 nautical miles off the west coast. (Townsville is on the west coast in this story.) "Nice! But how do I get there?" I asked myself, I saw the symbol for shipyard on the map, not far from my military base. "Not too far, OK enough of this sneaky shit!"
In perfect synchronization, every vehicle in the base underwent a massive change: a red circle of electricity surrounded each of my machines as it changed from its original colour, my black and red colours. Windows became bright red screens, tails on aircraft became blood red, jet engines and propellers became rocket boosters and the paint job became black with bright red stripes. On jet fighters the forward edge of the wings became silver, razor sharp and it glinted in the sun, ray guns appeared on either side of the cockpit the engines gave off a red vapour trail and smaller jet engines appeared on the sides; they enable vertical take offs. On choppers the cockpit gave off an eerie red glow, a satellite dish had appeared on the front and ray guns took the places of door guns.
On land vehicles, windshields and windows disappeared and became sheets of black metal with machine guns turrets sticking out of them, the headlights became my signature red screen colour, tires had red hubcaps and finally a SAM launcher had appeared on top of the roofs.
Tanks now had a larger gun mounted on the right side of the turret and on the left a missile launcher appeared, the already existing gun was transformed into laser cannon, and the tracks were removed and replaced with hover jets. (Hover tanks FTW! XD.) it also had red lighting underneath them.
On other tanks the main gun was moved to the turrets right side, on the other side a missile launcher appeared and the entire front side of the turret became a bright red screen. On these tanks the tracks were also removed, but instead of hover jets it sprouted 4 robotic legs like a spider and finally out the back of my tanks, a tail with a satellite dish on the end grew out. (Stalker tanks also FTW! XD) all the tanks had black paint jobs and bright red strip lights across their bodies.
"OK here I go!" every one of my vehicles yelled out loud, my red screens flashed as I spoke. My planes ascended off the ground, my helicopters began rotating their rotor blades, my hover tanks zipped towards the gates with amazing speed and agility and my stalker tanks followed the hover tanks.
"What the fuck? What happened to those vehicles?" a soldier yelled, he picked up a bazooka and fired at one my now airborne choppers, the explosion was enough to force me back but it didn't damage me. Since he wasn't really a threat I decided to leave him alone. I had no idea how much of an impact that decision would have later on.
The rest of his squad also grabbed anti-tank weapons and began firing on my forms, again the force because my hover tanks to crash through walls, my stalker tanks to stumble and my aircraft to hit the ground. But none of it did any damage and I still kept getting back up and moving with no retaliation. I wasn't sure why didn't feel like shooting back, maybe I had a glitch? I made a reminder program to run a diagnostic on my systems later.
1 hour later.
A squadron of my aircraft were now over the city known as Townsville to the humans, my defence force was quite far off, it would take those slowpokes 4 hours to get here, but I was patient, because on the way I had infiltrated another base and infected several rocket trucks there, with my improvements those things have an explosion size that rivals that of a small nuclear bomb!
Out at sea I had infected a battle fleet of 20 ships strong! That might not sound like much, but 5 of them were black and red aircraft-carriers that I had improved with tomahawk cruise missile launchers, laser guns and HUNDREDS of aircraft.
Another 5 used to be boring Iowa class battle ships, now they had a MASSIVE particle cannon on the front with 9 quadruple barrelled main guns (4 gun barrels) ON EACH SIDE! They also had a towering silver laser gun roughly 50 metres high extending from amidship (the middle of the ship) it was basically a 5 metre wide column with a red dome on top that can fire my bright red infection beam for MILES!
As you can hear im pretty fired up about using such destructive power! But what still bothers me is why I didn't retaliate toward those soldiers, I felt so confident about taking over the world back at the creatures observatory, so why did I spare them? Because they weren't a threat? I've got to run that diagnostic. What is my true purpose?
What do YOU think? What should RED do? Review and say your decision.
