I don't own Vandread.
Chapter 14 Call to Arms
"Let's get this meeting underway." Rebecca ordered as she took a seat. "What is this, "Harvest" thing have to do with us?"
Magno coughed before she started. "They come from my true home world, and are bent on getting our body parts. They want our reproductive body parts."
"What kind of fighters do they have? How much trouble can they cause?" Varoa asked.
"They destroyed an entire Melanos fleet without taking a single scratch!" Hibiki told her. Rebecca looked down at him with a bit of worry.
"How big was it?" Varoa questioned.
"They had a large fleet. It had about twelve Carriers that were filled to the rim with fighters." Hibiki told her.
"What about reinforcements?" Rebecca questioned.
"My mother will come. I know she will." Rain told her. Rebecca looked at him with confusion in her eyes. "I may be from Taraaku, but have no ties to that damn world. The only reason I'm here is to complete my mission." Rain told her.
"So all we have is two pirate ships and the hopes that his mother shows up." Rebecca asked. Rain shot her a dirty look for the way she said that. "I'm sorry, but I don't know this mother of yours, but I doubt she has a strong enough force to help us."
"For the record, Rebecca," and there was no respect in the way he said her name. "…my mother happens to be the woman that was shot when she appeared nearly six years ago. I'm her adopted child. She never breaks a promise, especially when one of her children is on the line."
"Wait, you are the Epsilon project?!" Rebecca gasped.
"Rain, don't." Meia warned. Rain looked away while muttering something in Japanese. "She is not a dirty whore." She whispered. Rain flinched at her words, momentarily forgetting that she knew Japanese to. "You forgot that, didn't you?" Rain grumbled something. "Yes, he is the Epsilon project, and his mother will show up. I know she will."
"But we might have to hold off the enemy with our own forces until they show up. We're hoping that we can get our worlds to work together somehow." Magno told her.
"Okay, so all we need to do is bust into the chamber of the Mother, and the Hall of the Father. We'll make them see things our way." Rebecca stated.
"That may not be necessary." Magno grinned. "I know a back door."
(-)
Jin Tokai had never really liked the Hall of Fathers. It was just too old for his tastes. Statues of old men before they were really old were not something he liked seeing. Two silent sentinels stood tall, not once looking at the item in Jin's left hand. The men nodded as he walked through the doors they opened for him. He soon stood in the center of the Hall of the Father's, staring up at seven lights that revealed seven of the oldest men on Taraaku. The center throne lit up, revealing a gnarled man with age stained fingers with a long beard.
"What are you doing here, Jin? You promised to watch over all the sleepers underground." One of the men said.
"Father Garsuss, I've come to show you this." Jin raised his package up, showing it to be a small potted plant. "Look, even on this desert world such as ours, something is finally starting to sprout." He exclaimed.
"I was awoken to see a potted plant?" One of the others groaned.
"This plant is best chance we have for survival." Jin stated.
"Jin…!"
"Grandpa, he is only trying to help us survive." Garsuss stated. "Isn't that right, Jin?" Jin nodded as he put the plant on the ground.
"You better believe it!" A female voice said. A screen popped up, revealing an old woman in robes with a visor to block her face from view.
"Grandma…!" Grandpa gasped in astonishment. "It's been…"
"Nearly a century." Jin reminded. "Back then we were all young men and women that still lived together. Had hopes for a beautiful future, unlike now."
"So what does the leader of the women want with us?" Another man questioned.
"I believe there is someone you want to talk to on the other channel." Grandma could be seen messing with something on screen. Another screen opened up, revealing Magno. "This is Magno, the pirate leader."
"Magno?" Jin questioned. A smile soon formed on his old face as he raised his arms out as if to greet an on rushing child. "Why yes, it is our little Magno. Oh this brings me back."
"Uncle Jin, it sure is good to see you. I remember you playing with me on the ship. Those were such good times." Magno said with a smile.
"So you're Magno, the pirate leader." A man snapped. "And what does the pirate leader want with us?"
"I'm a member of the first generation aren't I? I thought I'd pitch in my two cents as well. Besides, I have someone very special fighting for us." Magno said with a grin. She pressed something on her control panel.
Another screen appeared, revealing Hibiki from inside his machine. "Hey Gramps!" He greeted with a smile. "I've made some friends now."
"You do look a little different, now that you mention it." Jin said with a smile.
"My name is Hibiki Tokai." Grandpa dropped his scepter. Hibiki's sudden appearance was surprising enough, but his message to everyone was another. His messaged was broadcasted on both worlds, and neighboring worlds as well. Ships stopped to stare at the young boy and listen to his message. Citizens on both worlds stopped to stare at the strange boy as he continued to give his speech. The crew of the Nirvana and Paraiso stood on standby just incase the Harvesters' decided to crash in on the confusion. "I'll fight, to keep the river of life flowing on!" Hibiki's golden machine flew out of the hanger with Dita's Dread following it. A flash of light, and Vandread Dita was born, surprising everyone.
"Has he no shame?" A man hissed.
Another screen opened up, appearing on both worlds. Rain's face appeared, causing some people to wonder, especially when a second screen opened up to show a red machine waiting for something. "Rain Epsilon Switchfoot, Infinite Justice, Kicking off!" Rain yelled as a familiar red machine, once known as the Red Demon, flew out of the hanger and towards Meia's Dread and Barnette's Delivery Craft.
"Alert, we've got a large unidentified object exiting the Magnetic Storm!" Ezra yelled. Alarms began blaring loudly onboard the two pirate ships.
"No mistaking it! A Harvest Flag Ship!" Celtic added.
"Impossible! How'd they get this close to us undetected?" BC yelled.
"They somehow managed to get the Nirvana's recognition code! That makes it harder to identify!" Amarone shouted.
"What a nasty bunch." Magno grunted.
"Follow my lead everyone! I'll take care of them!" Barnette and Rain yelled in unison as they began charging the golden mammoth.
"Well, still the same old hot head as always. Didn't I tell you that was a bad habit?" Two voices said in unison. Rain and Barnette put their thrusters in reverse as they stopped just a few seconds before they would hit the large ship.
"That… that voice!" Rain and Barnette gasped.
"Miss Gascgo!" Dita yelled.
"Raider!" Rain yelled.
Two faces appeared on screen. One was Gascgone sitting in a large chair with a smile on her face. The other was a man with long rusty red hair, tanned skin, and a black bandana over his right eye. His single yellow eye was a strange sight to the women.
"It's not Gascgo, its Gascgone!" Gascgone raised a fist to add more emphasis to the correct name.
"Yep, that's Miss Gascgo alright." Ezra said with a grin.
"Raider, I though you were a dead! How the hell did you survive!" Rain screamed. Raider just laughed as he pulled out a small pink book labeled, Prison Lesbian Stories, volume three. "Gascgone, how in the seven hells did you put up with him?" Rain questioned.
"It was fun!" She replied with a big grin as she looked over at the book. Rain palmed himself as he watched her giggle at the book.
"Yeah, we had a lot of fun, but I think this is going to be funner." Raider said as twenty large ships appeared out of cloaking.
"Funner's not even a word!" Rain growled.
"Shotgun!" Dale and Maya screamed in unison. "Damn it all!" Dale growled while Maya screamed for joy. "Fine, but I get the next ship!" Dale shouted.
"What are you two arguing about?" Magno questioned.
"That ship that's in the center of the fleet is the Archangel!" Maya said as she vanished from screen for a few seconds before reappearing. "I got control of the ship." She chanted.
(-)
"Welcome back!" The girls in the Registry room sang as Gascgone and Raider walked in. Raider was wearing a simple black trench coat with no shirt and a pair of simple black leather pants. On his back was a long scythe that was blood red in color.
The girls all got out of her way as the two walked towards Barnette. Barnette just smiled at the two. "Thanks a lot girl, now you just go out and give them hell." Gascgone ordered. Barnette lowered her head to hide her tears of happiness as she ran through them. "Alright girls…"
"Miss Gascgo, thank you… for staying alive." Barnette said. Gascgone nodded as she looked over at Raider. Barnette ran out of the room as Gascgone walked over to Raider.
"You know I can't do anything since you have the greatest thing I treasure the most locked away." Raider said.
"I thought my body was the greatest thing you liked." Gascgone joked as she left with Raider.
(-)
"Alright Raider, you can go out and give them hell, quite literally I guess." Gascgone said as her Delivery craft reappeared. "Just come back to me, okay?" She whispered.
"I'm the God of Death! I ain't going to die until I've killed my set number of bodies!" He replied as her craft opened one of its compartments. A large black mech sat at the edge of the crate. "Raider Katon, DeathScythe Hell, Killing time again!" Raider yelled as his machine blasted off towards the Justice.
"Righty, right. I heard there was going to be some kind of a show around here." Rabat said.
"Rabat?" Hibiki questioned.
"Thanks to all the markers you left us, you might even find a few spectators around." A display of Sera and her body guards appeared while on Oosa, Tatanka, and Utan appeared on another.
"There's another fleet approaching! This one is directly behind Rabat's fleet now!" Amarone stated.
"Another fleet?" Magno questioned.
"This is that Anti Earth Fleet of Melanos. We've come to show our respect for Hibiki Tokai."
"Melanos…" Hibiki whispered.
"That's the planet that has been harvested for their skins." BC stated. "Its not surprising that they would want to come and help him."
"They've come to reclaim the souls of those they lost." Magno stated.
A display of Ryu appeared on screen. "Ryu Ringan, Destiny, Let's do it!" The red winged machine went, flying out of one of the Smuggler Ships, heading straight for the Justice. "It's good to see you're still kicking. I was wondering if I'd get a chance to fight beside you."
"Same here. I just hope that Okaa-san and Zoey-nee-chan show up to help. I don't know if we'll be enough." Rain replied.
"This is Todoroki, Flag Ship of the Taraaku Empire. We wish to join forces with you in this." The admiral saluted Magno on screen, totally forgetting the male superstitions.
Another screen appeared with a man smoking a big cigar and wearing a pair of pilot goggles. "My name is Ozeki Kyumei; I lead a special group of attack Vanguards. We would like the honor of being the first to attack." His light blue machine appeared at the front of the fleet swinging its energy naginata around as its solitary eye lit up.
"Men are all so dumb." Misty said flatly with a goofy expression on her face. Que-chan bobbed up and down, showing that it agreed with her.
"This is the Mejarru Boarder Guard; can we offer some assistance as well?"
"Wow, they're all coming out of the wood work, now aren't they?" Ezra questioned.
"Shadow Pirate crew, this is your Captain speaking, deploy all Dom Squadrons now." Raider ordered. As if waiting for the order themselves, hundreds of black and blue mechs, came flying out of that large fleet beside the golden giant.
"I never thought I'd see the day when your pirates would actually listen to you." Rain joked.
"It's amazingly simple to manipulate a man." Gascgone remarked. Rain and Ryu started laughing as all the Dom pilots started shouting "Hell yeah" at the top of their lungs. A few women could be heard saying, "If only it was that easy to control Raider" causing Raider to chuckle while brining out his perverted book on screen.
"Are you actually going to read that while we fight?" Ryu questioned.
"No. I'm not that… booby's!" Ryu and Rain palmed themselves as he started drooling and giggling like a school girl.
"I think I see now why your mother doesn't like that guy." Ryu groaned.
The alarms once again began blaring as three Harvester Flag Ships punched through the Magnetic Storm. "Don't worry, the minefield will stop them." Ozeki said.
A large explosion rocked across the minefield. Everyone held their breaths as they waited for the news. They certainly weren't too surprised when the data came in, saying that the middle one had used itself as a dummy to attract all the mines to itself, allowing the other two, to pass through safely. Before they came into firing rang, they released all their Carriers, Cube Types, and clones. Bart started yelling at the enemy about suing them for making a clone of him again.
Ozeki just grinned as he said; "Look at that," as he pushed forward on his controls. The first thing he ran into was a Jura clone. The clone opened its mouth in an attempt to shoot him, but Ozeki dove under its mouth and went upward, jamming his weapon into the underbelly of the beast before spinning like a top to send it crashing into a nearby carrier. He made sure it was dead by shooting it with a laser blast from his wrist. "Alright, follow me, boys!" He beckoned.
"We gotta stop them this time!" Hibiki stated he armed both of his cannons. Two tubes of energy plowed through several Cube Types and a few Carriers. As the fire receded, the clones came out in force, tearing everything apart that was near them. Gascgone evened the odds by releasing her own little toys with a grin on her face. Golden Cube Types began tearing the enemy forces apart with zombie like obedience.
"Launch the attack!" Meia barked. The Dread teams blasted off towards the enemy, all chanting the Mejarru fight song as they went to battle.
"Time to bleed!" Raider yelled as his wings opened up, making his already strange appearance, stranger. For those that were there six years ago, they immediately remembered his machines, especially when its scythe appeared. Raider flew up beside six clones with one swing.
"Let's do this!" Rain yelled as he pulled out his beam saber to slash two clones in half. He blasted off towards the largest hoard of enemy units in his area.
"I'll break all of you!" Ryu yelled as he blasted his large cannon a few times. Seven long red blasts were shot from his weapon, tearing everything they came into contact with, apart. Ryu then blasted off toward another area that was filled with clones. He grinned as he pulled out his Anti Ship Sword, to slice four clones with one swing.
"Aim Hell Darts and fire!" Maya barked as the Archangel fired off its rounds into a nearby group of enemies.
Magno and BC smiled at the sight of their comrades fighting before them. It was a sight that they never would have dreamed of. "Looks like they all still have some elbow room."
"Yes, I'd say we have a bright future ahead of us." BC added with a grin.
(-)
Hibiki continued his charge, smacking anything that dared to get in his path towards the first Flag Ship. "Out of my way!" He yelled as he swatted two Dita clones away, before stabbing the last one through the torso. A fourth one appeared on the other side of them. Hibiki just slammed the other cannon onto his wrist, and shooting the two clones away. A Nirvana clone appeared in front of the, attempting to smack them down with its massive arm. Hibiki and Dita forced the combination between the large claw like hand, to avoid the attack while dodging its red pelts that were shot from its core. The two teens forced their cannons to their shoulders to fire down on its head. The impact stunned them, momentarly shutting their systems down. The large clone took its chance to destroy them as it began charging up its core to fire at them. The two teens watched as red fire erupted from the core, and two Dread units appeared beside them.
"It's Meia, and Varoa!" Dita exclaimed.
"You're just as much of a headache as always." Varoa said.
"Why thank you, with them around we're much more annoying." Meia mocked with a grin.
"What the… did you just smile?" Varoa gasped.
"Well you see… we're all different people than what we used to be." Jura told her as he Dread appeared over head.
"Is that because of the men?"
"Well, I wouldn't say that."
"Watch out or we'll leave you behind!" Barnette stated as she flew ahead of the group.
"Kobito, watch out!" Rain exclaimed. Barnette looked up to see the damaged Dita clone aiming its weapons at her. A volley of machinegun fire range down on the enemy clone, destroying it before it could attack. Rain looked at where the fire had come from to see two Dita clones about to blast him. Raider watched as a Dita clone charged up its cannons in front him after getting the jump on him. Rain had a blue blur fly above them to slice them in half. Raider was saved by a dragon head that had him laughing.
"Since when does the God of Death, need saving?" Suki questioned. Raider smirked at the sight of Nataku as it pulled its Dragon Fang back.
"For the record, I could have taken it. But it's good to know I have a little insurance incase of emergence." He commented.
"Are you okay, Rain?" Willow asked as Sandrock looked up at him. Rain smiled as the Justice nodded. Two other clones tried to get between them, but a single blast of yellow energy from above them had everyone looking up to see one large fleet, and the famous Wing Zero armed with its famous Twin Buster rifle.
Rain took one look at the weapon, and noticed that it was now a Triple Barrel Buster rifle. Three clones flew towards her at separate angles, hoping to take her down. The Triple Barrel Buster rifle suddenly split, surprising everyone as it aimed itself in three different directions before being fired to kill the three enemies. "Okaa-san! Aunt Suki! Aunt Willow! I can't believe you actually came!" Rain exclaimed.
"Of course we came! You think I'd leave you with these barbarians?!" Asaugi asked.
"To think that we of all people would return to this place of sin." Blood commented as HeavyArms appeared in front of the Justice and Sandrock.
"Look on the bright side. At least this time we're here to carry out a mission of peace while helping them." Suki commented.
"Indeed" Willow remarked.
(-)
Maya and Dale stared in awe at the sight before them. They knew their own military strength, but knowing was completely different unless you saw the size itself. Three hundred ships had appeared directly above the battlefield, catching everyone off guard. Spark had joined them on the Nirvana a few seconds after he arrived with the Smuggler Fleet, and he too was a little stunned by the sight. Cole had appeared beside the three AI's smiling as Spark and Dale screamed "Shotgun" both aiming to get the Minerva and Dominion. Once the fight was settled, the both flickered away, and then reappeared with smiles on their faces.
"Looks like she made it after all." Dale commented. Maya nodded her head as she watched the Zeta, Double Zeta, and Murasame's appeared out of the fleet, tearing anything that got in their way, apart.
"I got the Minerva!" Dale chanted as he jumped up and down for joy.
"Aim Hell Darts and fire." Spark ordered as the Dominion fired its weapons.
(-)
With the new arrivals, the already worn torn fighters were refueled with renewed strength to show their strength in front of the new fighters. Blood was leading a fleet of Double Zeta mobile suits towards the front lines to shoot down anything that got in their way towards the first Flag Ship. Suki and Willow were leading three squadrons of Zeta mobile suits, slicing anything that got to close to the ships. Anything that got by them, were quickly shot down by a combination of Dom mobile suits, Taraaku Space Turrets, and Zaku Gunners with deadly accuracy. Asaugi was leading the entire Murasame mobile suits, tearing and shooting anything that got in between them, and the Infinite Justice.
"Rain, looks like all your praying paid off." Barnette whispered.
"Indeed, Kobito." Rain replied while heading towards her machine.
"Rain, we need to forget the weak ones. Let's hit the Flag Ships!" Meia announced. A flashed of light had Vandread Meia being formed, surprising a few people in the area.
"Awesome, even Meia?!" Varoa gasped.
"You haven't even seen the scariest one yet. Wait till you get a load of it." Jura stated with a grin on her face.
"Hey, who said it's the meanest?" Pyoro inquired, narrowing his eyes on Jura.
"Ow be quiet!" She snapped.
(-)
Ozeki was in the heart of the battlefield, leading what troops had made it that far towards the closest Flag Ship. He punched a clone in the face, sending it crashing into a nearby Carrier before shooting it with his laser. He pushed forward towards the Flag Ship, but a speeding blur crashed into his back, sending his Naginata flying away. One Cube Type appeared on his machine, eating away at his hatch. Ozeki smiled as he got ready for his fate, but a small explosion robbed him of his death.
"What are you doing all the way up here, you crazy old timer?" Hibiki asked.
Ozeki growled as he looked at his savior. "Buzz off. You may laugh and think this machine of mine is pretty strange." Ozeki raised up his arm to show off some of his battle scars. "When you get these, I'll start listening to you. It takes work to know how to live. Dieing is the easy part." He remarked as he lowered his arm. Hibiki and Meia both nodded. "Now, let's get back in there!" He cheered. Vandread Meia released him, letting him get back to his work.
(-)
Ryu was having a hard time. He was up against three of each clone. He had already taken care of two Nirvana clones by utilizing his palm blasters to destroy its head, then chest, and then anything that still held it together. Two Dita clones had already fallen after thinking his sword wasn't very strong. One Meia clone had fallen when he threw his two beam boomerangs. Three Jura clones fell after trying to block his large cannon, but found it to be stronger than what they had expected.
Ryu growled as he flew over a Dita clone and placed his palm on the center of its back before quickly ripping it away as it exploded. A Meia clone appeared to break him in two, but Ryu spun around while ripping one of his beam boomerangs from its holding to slice the clone in half before throwing it at a Jura clone that was in front of another Meia clone. The weapon destroyed both of them before returning to destroy a Dita clone. As Ryu caught the weapon, he spun around and fired his cannon at point blank rang in the core of a Nirvana clone, destroying it in one shot. The second Nirvana clone tried to shoot him with its missile like lasers, but Ryu was able to dodge every beam, while shooting the last Dita clone before throwing his two beam boomerangs to destroy the last Jura clone. Ryu pushed forward while charging up his palm laser before crashing it into its head. The clone looked up at him with stunned eyes before it exploded. Ryu continued by piercing it with his Anti Ship Sword, killing it instantly. The final clone appeared from inside the flames of its dead twin while firing a wave of beams. Ryu growled as the beam appeared and brought up his shield to block the shot. He reinforced it with the same blue barrier as the Infinite Justice's, and once again, the beams won the fight, tearing his machine apart. Ryu yelled as his cockpit began exploding from the sudden erratic damage it sustained.
"Ryu!" Rain yelled as he throw his beam boomerang to stun the enemy. Rain appeared in front of him while trying to force his machine to leave the battlefield. Rain noticed that his machine was completely scraped. The only thing that managed to survive the attack was the cockpit. Rain grunted as he began heading towards the Nirvana with his machine in tow. The Nirvana clone appeared to stop him from getting any further, and charged its core again, to fire at them. Rain raised his shield in hopes of blocking the attack.
A large explosion rocked the battlefield. For those who were to far away to see the blast, they played it off as nothing more than a large carrier going down again. But for those close enough to see the blast, they were left stunned by its sudden appearance. For Rain and Ryu, they didn't know what had happened. Rain deactivated the blue barrier around his shield while lowering to see what was in front of him. He wasn't expecting to see a golden mobile suit, but that was what was in front of him.
"Nee-chan?" Rain whispered.
Zoey's face, though she was wearing her flight suit, appeared on screen. Rain figured she was smiling when she said, "Nice to see you again, Rain. You had us worried for a while until when Meia told me about what happened to you in the Justice, but I can see you're doing just fine," as she turned Akatsuki to face him. Rain smiled as he nodded. "Ryu, I can't believe you of all people were beaten so easily. My you've gotten rusty. Do I need to beat you back into shape?" She questioned. Ryu whished he still had both of Destiny's arms, or one of them, so he could flip her off since his screens were messed up.
"Thanks for saving us, Sis. I was really worried there for a minute." Rain admitted while rubbing the back of his head.
"I didn't save you." Zoey said. Rain looked at her in confusion.
(-)
"We've detected a large fleet directly bellow the battlefield!" Amarone cried. Her attention was quickly drawn to the three stunned AI's that seemed to have their jaws hanging loosely.
"I'll be God damned." Spark whispered.
"I can't believe he's actually here." Dale stated.
"I guess miracles are about today." Maya mussed.
For those on the bridge of the Nirvana, they became completely confused. They stared at the three AI's before Ezra's loud gasp caught their attention. "I don't believe it." She whispered. Everyone no turned to look at a smiling Ezra. "It's the Freedom. The Freedom has reappeared on our radars!" She yelled. Everyone began checking their screens to see the Freedom's signal on their screens.
"Correction…" Gascgone appeared on screen with a large grin on her face.
"Gascgone…" Magno began.
"…that would be the X20A Strike Freedom." She continued as though she hadn't been interrupted. Everyone was now confused. She knew something they didn't and the fact that she came back with Raider was the only explanation for as to how she knew what it was.
"You wouldn't by any chance happen to know the pilot, now would you?" Magno inquired with a grin on her face.
"I'm surprised you can't guess." Gascgone said with a grin. "He's someone that would follow Meia into the pits of hell, just to be by her side." Everyone on the bridge, and for those that were listening to the chatter, instantly knew who it was. That was quickly confirmed as Alex's smiling face, though hidden by his strange mask he still seemed to wear, appeared on screen.
"Do you know how long I've been searching for you? It's bad enough that you all thought I was dead, but did you really think I'd leave you without, trying to get into Meia's pants one last time?" Alex inquired.
"MR. SUIT/DEMON/ALEX/NII-SAN!" Meia, Rain, Dita, Jura, Barnette, and Hibiki yelled in unison.
"The one and only." Alex chirped as the Strike Freedom appeared beside them on the battlefield, still attached to the METEOR System. "Did you really think I was dead?" Alex asked with a grin.
"I can't believe you're actually alive!" Meia gasped with tears in her eyes.
"I told you that I'd come back, didn't I?" Meia nodded. "You should know me, whenever I make a promise…"
"…you keep it." Meia whispered.
Alex nodded with a smile. His eyes instantly iced over, showing all that he was battle ready again. That couldn't have been more true after he said, "Now, for you bastards. Stay the hell away from my family and friends!" with his weapons firing at everything that was targeted. No one had ever seen such a sight in their lives. Not even the Taraaku could believe it. The sky was littered with millions of explosions, all from a single machine that had appeared out of nowhere. "Justice, pick up your METEOR and follow me. We've got a battle to finish." Alex ordered with a cold tone in his voice.
"METEOR, lift off!" Cole ordered after he took control of the Eternal. The Infinite Justice appeared in front of the floating white ship to attach the mech to it. As the machine latched together, Rain looked up with iced over eyes towards the enemy.
"All fighters commence attack on the first Flag Ship! Blood, see what you and your boys can do about the second!" Alex ordered.
"Yes sir." Blood replied. "Alright, everyone form up, follow my lead." He ordered as hundreds of fighter fell behind him.
"Get ready to punch straight towards the enemy, Rain. We're going to clear a way for the big guns." Alex stated. Rain nodded his METEOR appeared beside Alex's METEOR. The two brothers activated every weapon on their ship while a targeting screen appeared before them. Wing Zero and Akatsuki appeared beside them, readying their weapons. "Fire!" Alex yelled. The four machines fired at the enemy fleet, tearing everything apart. The Triple Barrel Buster rifle tore a hole through the top of the first Harvest Flag Ship while destroying hundreds of Cube Types, clones, and Carriers. Akatsuki's six Dragoon Blasters tore multiple enemy units apart. The two METEOR enhanced units tore everything apart. The way was clear for the four Gundams, Vandread Meia, Dita, Varoa, Barnette, and Jura.
(-)
A display appeared on screen of the Nirvana, showing a large ship that was about to break through the Magnetic Storm. "It's confirmed, another Harvest Flag Ship has appeared inside the Magnetic Storm." Amarone stated.
"That's not a Harvest Flag Ship!" Rabat's face appeared on screen. "That's things used for destroying planets they no longer need. That's the Big Boy!" He added.
"The Big Boy?" BC asked with a trace of fear in her voice.
(-)
"So that's the top dog!" Hibiki grinned. "It's not so scary!" Vandread Meia began to head towards Jura's Dread. A flash of light had Vandread Jura being born.
"Ugh, it's so ugly!" Varoa said in disgust.
"Oh shut up! Come on everyone, we're going to burst right through them!" Jura yelled as she put up a barrier around the combination while flying straight for the new arrival. A few Cubes tried to get through it, but found the barrier to be stronger than what they thought, and paid with their lives.
The new arrival's front opened up like a split mouth while charging up a core before firing at the combination.
"All ships, evasive action!" Meia yelled. The combination fought the red blast for a few seconds before it punched through the shield, and separated them. The two mechs went sailing in different directions. Barnette and Rain appeared in front of Jura while Alex appeared in front of Hibiki, all firing their weapons at the enemy units that tried to make good use of their stunned mechs.
"Jura, are you alright?" Barnette asked.
"Yeah, I think so." Jura replied.
"Damn you!" Hibiki screamed.
"Now it's time, for Vandread Pyoro. Pyoro." Pyoro stated.
"Quit it, that's a weird name." Hibiki sneered.
"I like it." Pyoro replied. The four Pexis affected units combined in a flash of light. Alex stared in shock at the new combination, not really believing what he saw. A smile formed on his face as he watched them head towards the new ship while slicing any enemy that got close to them apart.
(-)
"Damn that's impressive." Ryu remarked as he walked onto the bridge of the Nirvana. Misty looked at him with stunned eyes. He was without a shirt, but his chest and head were bandaged. His strange sea green eyes shinned with hope as he looked at the Super Vandread fight its way through the enemy ranks. "Spark, do we have any machines I could use?"
"The Dominion has nothing left." Spark replied, while shaking his head. "I'm truly sorry for the bad news I guess."
"Nah, I've been injured and Doc doesn't want me returning anyway." He said sadly as he placed a hand over his wounded chest. "Besides, with Alex back, I'm sure they won't need me out there." He whispered.
"You did good little one." Magno said with a smile. Ryu turned to her with a smile on his face. "You managed to take down six Nirvana clones, something I doubt Rain could have done."
"Yeah, I did, didn't I?" He replied. He turned, to look at the battlefield with a sad smile on his face. But we still have to win this fight. We need to win this fight to show Earth that they can't do this anymore.

The Super Vandread sliced several clones in half as it continued to charge towards the new arrival. The strange cannon charged up to fire again.
