More or less the same as before... we're wrapping this up today! Hope you are ready for things are going to be SPECIAL.
"You are next, Megacreep!"
"TRY AND DEFEAT ME BOY!"
Megatron in question got out his energy mace and swung it around ready just as Kouji steeled himself ready for the renewed onslaught that was to come.
"IRON CUTTER!"
Mazinger Z's fists deployed it's razor sharp axe blades just as Megatron swung his energy mace was overhead ready for a head smash aiming for the cockpit but it failed as the blades blocked the energon based weapon due to the Photon Power powering through it's system.
"Well boy, I'm surprised your little toy can block my mace... no matter!"
Megatron tried again with a swing of the mace but Kouji managed to evade the pattern and delivered a body slash with the right axe hand which caused minor damage.
"I see someone didn't remember the last time you used that move on me... doesn't hurt me as much."
Before Mazinger Z could respond again, this time he was bombarded by the mini-cassettes covering for their leader Megatron as the three mini units attacking the larger unit who was watching with a smirk on his face.
"Excellent timing as always Soundwave..."
"WHAT SHALL I DO WITH WITH MAZINGER Z MEGATRON?"
"Leave the fleshling to me... it's been a while since I had fun Soundwave."
"AS YOU COMMAND."
Meanwhile the same cannot be said about Great Mazinger as the fight continued to be a stalemate as two forces still haven't moved far although they share the same damage as sword marks were over the Great Mazinger.
"Tetsuya Tsuirigi! You impress me, your skills haven't been diminished since our last battle!"
"I can say the same Great General... but I have a job to do protecting humanity!"
Great General was pushed back surprisingly just as the mycenaean stood his ground.
"I too have a job to do Tusirigi, making sure that my emperor's will is fulfilled!"
The sword swing from the Great General countered through the defensive stance of Great Mazinger and sent it back... allowing the general to gather his energy as he held his sword into the scabbard and held there.
"FEEL THE POWER OF MY DEVOTION TO MY EMPEROR! DIE!"
Unleashing it quickly from the scabbard combined with the larger mouth opening unleashing a vile twisted tornado that quickly enveloped the Great Mazinger and damaging it greatly before the mech fell some distance away just as Mazinger Z was also thrown into the same area by Soundwave after using Ravage, Laserbeak and Rumble to distract the Super Robot enough to be sent back after a precise timed blast to the gut.
The two looked at each other realising that they may have to use their last resort.
Meanwhile Pilanias roared loudly as he unleashed several bombs from it's mouth as they flew into the air before landing in several places causing explosions as the White Base Gundams were having a difficult time.
"How can a bloody Iguana give us problems?!"
"Don't know Sanders... keep your distance though, we don't know what this monster can use."
"Yes Shiro!"
Pilanias made a charge towards the group as the ground rumbled as the Warrior Beast attacked as the Gundams dodged all around but having ignored them, it made a beeline towards the Texas Mack.
"Hold on Jack, that thing's heading for us!"
"No problem lil sister, It may look like a dinosaur but we've fought dinosaurs before!"
Immediately combining his shooters into a rifle, Texas Mack took aim for the creature's body and fired off a round but there was two things that happened... one there was no damage and number two Pilanias was not stopping until it literally rammed right into Texas Mack and went overhead like a car crash victim ((bad analogy, I apologise)).
"Huh? I'm pretty sure I shot the creature... why is there no damage?"
"Hold on brother, let me look."
Mary immediately pressed buttons on the keyboard of the computer as the targetting scope immediately spotted the bullet and why it didn't cause damage.
"Jack I've found your answer... the bullet didn't damage the beast, it got caught on the creature's scales and it looks like it's melting as well... yeah those scales are obviously acidic as well."
"Did you get that Bossman Shiro?"
"Don't worry Jack-san, I received the message... Everyone! We're switching to ranged weapons and maintain your distance... we don't know what that thing's scales can do to the alloy but I would like to avoid that."
Immediately Amuro, Kai and Sayla joined them as well as Io in his Gundam realising that the 10 of them would stand a brilliant chance against a Warrior Beast... Shiro immediately thought of a plan that would utilise their combined strength.
"We need to hit that thing hard and fast providing that no one else distracts us."
"What are the odds that it'll happen Shiro?"
Suddenly several blasts from an unknown source literally covered the group as four thuds were suddenly heard as the HX Units had finally caught up to them.
"You know Sanders..."
"Don't even say it Karen!"
"Of all the timing... why now."
The HX units Cerberus, Balor, Nemean and Orochi immediately turned into their more advanced forms as the eyes of the three Cerberus heads glared at the team... inside, Lieutenant Anders's face was stoic as he realised that he and his team were literally ordered to stop the Gundams from defeating the giant monster... which is something they should be doing.
"Sometimes I hate my line of work..."
"Anything wrong LT?"
"No Paddy... I'm fine here, looks like Operation Shooting Star is proceeding well..."
"Looks like those CIA soldiers are taking the bait well..."
Silas said as they realised that most of the CIA soldiers were effectively defeated and destroyed either by Terrorcons or other Warrior Beasts... luckily their deaths meant that the four units can have another chance at catching Amuro Ray.
"Yeah that plan didn't work out but it allowed us to get into the base and give us this last chance with Amuro Ray!"
"Hey LT?"
"What is it Yuu?"
"What do we do with that giant lizard that they are attacking?"
"Well it's obvious isn't it Yuu? We take the damn thing down because it's what we do!"
"That's what I like to hear!"
"Time to get to work boys!"
"Right!"
The HX Units immediately was about to attack Shiro and Amuro's group but a large wave of Terrorcons immediately broke inbetween them led by the Constructicons.
"Heh... a large group of human machines and we have all the time in the world to cause some damage, Constructicons cause some havoc!"
Literally the battlefield was laden with 4 factions... Pilanias the Warrior Beast, The Constructicons of the Decepticon faction with Terrorcons that were created from fallen GM I, The humans of Texas Mack and the White Base team led by Shiro and Amuro and finally the HX Units who are currently ready to not only deal with Pilanias but also effectively hunt Amuro Ray to the ground.
Things are going to be very exciting.
"As you can understand the situation Captain Noa, Commander Oka. The Decepticons are a formidible adversary that will spell doom for this planet..."
"How can we be assured that you are not the same as the Decepticons, Optimus Prime?"
"The Autobots are the complete opposite Commander Oka... we fight for the protection of not only the universe but also to stop Megatron's desire for conquest after his lust for power tore apart our only home..."
"Would this planet to be called Cyberton?"
Captain Noa said just as Commander Oka looked at him.
"Yes Captain Noa... how do you know of our home?"
"We will discuss the details of that after the mission at hand... Optimus Prime, we will accept your alliance proposal."
"I am very happy at your decision Captain Noa! We will head to where Megatron is. Over and out."
"Over and out..."
The communications were cut off as Captain Noa immediately looked towards Elidore who was still surprised at hearing the wise sagely leadership like voice that he heard.
"Open a communications line to all our ships... tell them that we have teamed up with the Autobots and thus no harm shall come to them until we get a full understanding of the situation."
"Yes sir!"
Meanwhile Ironhide's group was in a stand off with South's group when communications come in for both sides... South Burning was hoping for a miracle to make sure that these
"4th team, this is White Base... we will be working with the Autobots for now."
"Roger White Base... ok team you heard that?"
"Yes South, we did."
On the other side, Ironhide was arguing with Optimus Prime.
"But Prime! They turned their weapons on us after we saved them from Blitzwing."
"It was clearly a misunderstanding Ironhide. We will be co-operating with Captain Noa's group on this matter for now... tell the rest of your team what I just told you. Prime out."
Ironhide sighed when he heard Optimus say that... once Prime's mind was made up, that was usually it, something Prowl noticed on the expression of his good friend.
"Something tells me Optimus just contacted you with news."
"That's right Prowl. We will be working the humans for now..."
"But Ironhide! They turned their weapons on us after we saved them!"
"I know Cliff, that was what I said too but Optimus's intentions are clear... we are to work with the humans for now."
Cliffjumper huffed in annoyance as usually Optimus said something, no one in the Autobots dared to question it... just as South's mech came up to Ironhide.
"Sorry for what happened just now... I hadn't intended to raise our weapons to you all."
"It's alright... come on then, let's go hunt down some Terrorcons and then regroup to where Prime is heading."
"Sounds like a plan to me Ironhide."
The two groups joined together and literally went off to shoot some Terrorcons.
Mazinger Z and Great Mazinger were now back up and literally forced into their last resort... with enough willpower and a few buttons more or less disabiling their limiters, they decided to activate Mazin Power which is always the last resort of both Kouji and Tetsuya and last time they used this it nearly destroyed the machines in particular... they used this power to defeat the Grand Marshall of Hell as their Double Burning Fire superheated the Fortress Demonika which then exploded taking all onboard to oblivion.
Now that power would be needed again.
"Kouji? Are you alright?"
"Never thought to use this power again Tetsuya... let's give these monsters a taste of Mazin Power!"
"I agree Kouji! Let's go!"
Back into the fray went the Super Robots as Great Mazinger immediately challenged Great General of Darkness as the demon general was pushed back... however Megatron wasn't as impressed as basically he only saw Mazinger Z coming back for more punishment.
"Back for more boy?"
"I am more than ready to handle you Megatron."
"Let's see what you can do Mazinger!"
Megatron immediately came up to attack with his fists but found that he was being countered back as he felt Mazinger Z's fists were doing an increased damage as he felt challenge.
'Is this what the energy of Japan can do? I must harness that power for myself!'
He thought as immediately getting clocked in the face by a punch broke him out of his thoughts just as Mazinger Z's side spikes immediately glowed blue.
"REITO BEAM!"
Blasting Megatron's upper chest with the freezing attack of super cold winds, large icicles formed as the leader didn't flinch from the attack... only to smirk.
"A refreshing wind on a hot summers day? That was nice of you boy."
"Gah..."
"My turn now!"
Megatron didn't waste time and immediately brought up his Energon Mace with whom he still had out and with a giant swing, he immediately made connection to Mazinger's Heat Plate as sparks flew up but the heat plate was not damaged because of Mazin Power, in actual fact it began to glow brighter than usual... something Kouji didn't notice.
"BREAST... FIRE!"
Raising the arms quickly, Mazinger Z fired off it's powerful attack as literally Megatron was enveloped by the large radius of the fire attack as the attack went for miles before it stopped and Megatron was slightly charred but he brushed off the attack with a simple wave of his hand although he did get moderately damaged.
"Impressive... but it proved nothing!"
"On the contrary Megatron, it proved that even you can be affected by this young man."
Megatron's expression changed to anger when he heard the voice of his most hated adversary and realised that he was now in a situation that couldn't be ideal... just as everyone stopped fighting and turned to look where the Autobots now untransformed as Optimus Prime looked straight on
"Optimus Prime! I see that you and your Autobot lackeys managed to slip past Blitzwing!"
"Correct! Now we take the fight to you! Autobots fan out and help our allies!"
"Right Prime!"
The Autobots fanned out as Optimus joined up with Mazinger Z in the fight.
"Are you alright Kouji?"
"I've seen much better days..."
"It's not easy taking on Megatron but seeing you go toe to toe with him..."
"Think nothing of it, all I did was use Mazin Power."
Megatron roared his anger before making a beeline for Optimus Prime as the two rivals once again locked themselves in combat before breaking away and sweeping Mazinger Z off his legs with a sweeping kick like move just as Great Mazinger was using his power to press the advantage and keep the Great General on the defense, something the Mycenae was not used to.
"Damn you Tsurigi! You won't win against me!"
"I don't think so Daishogun! You won't stop this next attack!"
"DIE!"
Immediately The Great General unleashed his powerful eyebeam attack which collided directly with Great Mazinger back some causing damage but that look minimal effort as the thunderclouds gathered at the sky ready for a powerful blow to strike down his adversary before turning to the sky.
"Mazin Power! THUNDER BREAK!"
The lightning came down at once to Great Mazinger's antennas before extending the finger out as the lightning was then of course not just amplified through Mazin Power but also channeled through as the very large lightning blast struck the Great General very hard causing him to spark all over... as the force of the attack which was enhanced by Mazin Power, forced the general to kneel in pain.
"Gah..."
'My Great General, this is your Emperor! You need to withdraw immediately! Despite your power and strength... Great Mazinger would easily kill you in it's current form...'
"If that is what my lord commands... know this Tsurigi Tetsuya! Today this battle is a prelude of what's to come, we will finish this fight in Japan... I'll leave the rest to Pilanias and to my new comrade Megatron."
The Great General of Darkness immediately faded away leaving Tetsuya with a stern look on his face and realising that his battles are not over just yet... but realises that Kouji may need help so he immediately joined in as he gave Megatron a strong smack on the face with his fist as Megatron now was down two to one.
"Helping your friend out boy? Two ain't going to stop me!"
"Us Japanese don't know the meaning of giving up!"
"Right! You won't defeat us!"
"I would most likely to try and break that spirit of yours before I destroy your machines!"
Megatron decided to not use his Energon Mace because it would not be super effective... so instead he went for the weapon that he seldomly uses coming from his right leg and ignited it immediately in it's powerful purple glow, his patented Energon Sword... the very weapon that slew Sentinel Prime easily, the hero of the first Civil War between the Autobots and the Decepticons.
"Let's see that fancy armor of yours survive the taste of my blade!"
Megatron screamed loudly as he made his move... the two Mazingers had enough time to try and dodge but as noted the Energon Sword is strong enough to cut through Cybertronian Armor and against Super Alloy New Z... it was like cutting through paper as damages began to show on various parts of the Super Robots as they both fell back.
"Is that all? Back on Cybertron I was a feared warrior in the gladiatorial pits of Kaon! None would surpass me in combat!"
"NOT TODAY! KOSHIRYOUKU BEAM!"
The enhanced beam fired from Mazinger Z's eyes which would of made direct contact with Megatron however the Decepticon just stood there and countered with his own eyelasers that impacted and cancelled out the attacks.
"Hey! When did you get eyebeams?"
"I've always had them boy! Our encounter at the dam was a fluke!"
Megatron laughed as he got closer with his sword still ignited, leaving Kouji and Tetsuya to look at each other... this may be their toughest foe yet.
"Kouji, I think we might be outmatched here..."
"Maybe Tetsuya but I might have a last trick I want to try... can you hold Megacreep for a few minutes?"
"I don't know if I can..."
"Perhaps I can be of help!"
Optimus Prime appeared alongside them, getting them up to their feet as Megatron glared at Optimus Prime... his most hated equal.
"Optimus-san!"
"Correct Kouji... you and Tetsuya have done well to hold back Megatron but I've have always stood in his path as well as I stood in his path... our fight is eternal and for this reason, you should leave Megatron to me."
Megatron's eyes glowed and then he scoffed in response of Optimus Prime wanted to fight the eternal dance that is their rivalry so he answered the call... in his eyes, Megatron was always the superior of the two.
"Yes Prime! Always to the defense of others! No wonder the Autobots are weak!"
"Protecting the freedom of others Megatron is never a weakness. That is why the ideals of the Decepticons are flawed."
"I'll show you who's ideal is flawed Autobot!"
Immediately the two rivals clashed once again as shockwaves emerged from the grapple between two hated enemies destroyed nearby buildings... as Energon Sword and Energon Axe sparks can be seen.
Meanwhile the HX Units were attacking Shiro's team as well as the Terrorcons although for the moment, the Constructicons were watching as the Cerebus, Balor, Nemean and the Orochi were tearing through the Terrorcons whilst trying to hit Shiro's team with their advanced weapons.
"Silas! Paddy! Make sure those corrupted GM's don't get any closer! Yuu! watch your 6!"
"Gotcha LT! time to use the pouches! BLOOD SURGE!"
The Balor threw out several of the pouches that connected themselves onto the organic part of the Terrorcon form as they ignited, creating a surge that stunned most of them allowing the Nemean to step in with it's Lion shaped spiked gauntlets as they shimmered with crystal energy.
"Damn it Paddy, you still kept the name! At least come up with something different!
"What do you suggest then Silas?"
"Take for instance what I can do buddy... LION SMASH!"
Smashing it's way through three of the stunned Terrorcons was the Nemean as it crushed the cockpits of the affected GM's but others still still kept coming as they stepped over the fallen like it was nothing
"LT! These things are like zombies!"
"No such thing as zombies Silas! If anything we're dealing with alien technology that we haven't encountered yet... not to mention we got to neutralise that White Gundam too as well as that team!"
"How are we going to be able to do that... we're barely overwhelmed here as it is."
"Paddy's right LT! We are just 4 machines against a large swarm of unknown enemies and the White Base's squadron!"
"We're not done yet Yuu! I refuse to accept defeat until all options are left on the table!"
"But..."
Meanwhile at the Apollo Initiative, the Director was listening in with his communications device at the labs alongside others as the 4 machines represented their finest work... but there was one thing that they didn't tell their pilots was that both Apollo and the sister organisation Luna were privately neutral companies that only developed advance mobile suits for mostly the Federation or make money on the side by supplying suits to say the US Government for extra cash.
The saying goes after all... why choose a side when you make money being in the middle, that's also the advice taken by a new upcoming company called Anaheim Electronics.
"I can't let you four fall here... there's too much at stake here."
A knock was suddenly heard as he turned off the communications device.
"Who is it?"
"It's me sir. The 2:30 appointment has arrived... shall I show him in?"
"Yes of course."
The door opened up as a man in a green suit entered the room carrying a large briefcase, his blue eyes were covered up in shades but his wavy blonde hair made him stand out from the crowd... especially if you disappeared after the battle of A Baoa Qu as he was accompanied inside by two other men wearing suits of their own but without shades covering up their eyes.
The first was a tall man with blue hair goatee and moustache combo with an intense look relaxed in his features, the second was similar to the blonde man but his hair wasn't wavy but his gaze was strong... for they were both Zeon ace pilots although displaced after A Baoa Qu.
"Welcome to the Apollo Initiative gentlemen, it's normally hard to get an appointment with us... hopefully I can be of service to you all today."
The wavy blonde man put the large suitcase down onto the table to which it was opened and immediately there was flashes of money signs as Director Truman looked up at the very rich man.
"That's a considerable amount of money you brought up..."
"It is in fact Director Truman, I wouldn't of offered you this money if I hadn't had good faith in your technology and the resources behind it."
"Well we do pride ourselves in our resources... alright then sir! You got yourself a deal... what is it that you need the Apollo Initiative for?"
"Can you design three mobile suits based on these schematics?"
The non wavy blonde man handed Director Truman a large datapad that contained information regarding three powerful looking mobile suits.
"Hmmmm... I can reassure you gentlemen that my company will be able to build these suits to your specifications and more some... all I need to know is who is footing the bill?"
"I will..."
"And your name is, might I ask?"
"Quattro Bajeena."
The scene then changes pace as we go back to the battle as Shiro's EZ8 crossed blades with the Cerebus's Twin Swords that were shaped like the Cerberus's fangs... they were staring each other down, before this all Shiro did alongside his team was to look up all the information that was presented by the HX Unit which included the three survivors from Colorado.
"Back down and surrender Lieutenant Anders! This doesn't have to end this way!"
"I don't really have a choice in the matter Lieutenant Shiro, if I don't... I'll end up betraying the lives of my squadmates that fell to that beast!"
The Cerberus broke through and pushed the EZ-8 back some before putting away the sword back into the Cerberus head and then Anders pressed a couple of buttons before the fangs became extended with chains attached.
"Let's try out this Chain Whip!"
Immediately the whip attacked the EZ-8 just as it put up it's shield in time, taking the blow as the shield was damaged whilst Amuro stepped in to save Shiro by blocking the chain whips with his beam saber.
"Shiro! Let me handle this one?"
"Ok Amuro!"
"Well I never thought I would have to face the White Meteor this way..."
"You can still back down Lieutenant Anders, I don't want us to fight this way."
"Sorry Amuro Ray, but you are what my men and I require for our freedom!"
'Freedom? I don't plan to be someone's bargaining chip!'
Amuro thought as he blocked the renewed offensive continued as meanwhile Karen, Sayla, Kai and Sanders were firing their assault rifles as they was going up against the Nemean who was soldering most of the bullets whilst going forward at the same time wielding that mace hammer weapon.
"Bullets aren't doing a dent on that thing!"
"Gonna try something!"
Sayla's 01 immediately got out her Beam Saber but then turned it into something that Kai hadn't seen for a long time... the Beam Javelin.
"Is that...?"
"That's the Beam Javelin that Amuro used."
"Yeah it is... I figured as much."
The 01 immediately jammed the Beam Javelin right into the Nemean's face just as the lumbering mobile suit tried to swing the mace hammer allowing Kai's 03 to strike the Nemean's side with rockets just as we change scenes as the Balor and the Orochi were facing off against the NT-1 and NT-2 as the two sides .
"Hey Yuu, never thought we would take on a Zeon turncoat."
"Which one Paddy?"
"The one in red, he's a former member of the team that infiltrated Side 6 colony Libot."
"How the hell do you know!?"
"Bernie..."
"It always pays to learn research and now that we know your Zeon... DIE!"
The Balor immediately attacked the NT-2 Benny with it's axe weapon as it barely was able to use the shield to deflect said attack before striking with the beam saber to the Balor's midsection.
"GAH!"
"Private Davids!"
The Orochi tried to help out but it was intercepted by the NT-1 who was aiming it's beam rifle at the snake themed mobile suit as Christina realised something.
'Why did it happen to be snakes...'
Meanwhile Yuu was experiencing the same thing although he was visually intimidated by the striking picture of the red haired woman that was there when they were going through briefings and research on all crew members of the White Base as they were tasked to hunting down Amuro Ray.
'Come on Yuu... she's not that scary, then again...'
Being unsure, he pressed a couple of buttons as the 8 snakeheads formed a straight line with their heads with their mouths open as energy began to generate them as electricity sparks inself as the heads began to light up ready to attack.
"Thunder... TSUNAMI!"
All eight fired off their electrical attacks at once immediately creating what seemed to be an electrical wave surging along the ground and it would of not only enveloped the NT-1 but also do damage on a two mile radius had the attack suddenly changed midcourse and was heading towards an Autobot... Windcharger whose arms was magnetised and attracting the electric wave.
"Let me borrow that from you!"
Immediately redirecting it towards the sky, the attack burst into thousands of sparks as Sunstreaker used his Pulse Gun to good effect.
"That ought to brighten things around here! Now then..."
"You aren't doing anything Autoscum!"
Bonecrusher swung his fist towards the yellow Autobot which hit him in the face but this provoked a different reaction.
"Handle this Deceptislag!"
Sunstreaker immediately fired his missile launcher that was stored in his shoulder as they were laser guided and made an explosion that sent Bonecrusher some distance before being blasted by a small group of Terrorcons.
"Damn cons! Sneaky so and so's!"
However Sunstreaker immediately felt a forcefeld protecting him from harm as Trailbreaker and Wheeljack joined in.
"Don't mind if we help out Sunstreaker?"
"Normally I do but sure what the heck... just don't tell Sideswipe!"
"What do you think Wheeljack? Should we help our friend?
"Of course we'll help! Now then... firing solid rockets!"
From the big gun on Wheeljack's shoulder fired a few rockets that collided with the Terrorcon group as they were destroyed instantly just as from the impact... the Orochi was vastly outnumbered by the seemingly sentient robots.
'Ok we go from dealing with ancient monsters made of crystal to living breathing sentient robots!?'
Yuu thought as he was suddenly hit by NT-1's gatling gun as Paddy was struggling to defeat the seemingly nimble NT-2 as it's axe kept missing the connecting blow as surroundings got chopped through.
"HOLD STILL ZEON BOY!"
But this can keep up for so long before the Balor decided to do a new tactic as Paddy pressed a few buttons inside his mech as the Balor was building up it's own kinectic charge but it surged throughout and immediately needed to be discharged.
"PHANTOM PAIN!"
The kinectic energy collided with the NT-2 causing systems to overload as Bernie felt the effects too like an electrick shock.
"AHHHHH!"
The NT-2 smoked a bit before kneeling down as the Balor then assumed an executor's stance with the axe held high.
"THIS IS THE END FOR YOU!"
"Not today it will!"
Suddenly appearing out of thin air was Mirage who used his patented electro-disrupter literally turning him into an invisible threat when used properly... decided to pick up Balor who was unable to counter.
"HEY LET ME GO YOU GIANT TINCAN!"
"Well if you insist!"
Mirage let Balor go as it was thrown through several building with a resounding crash just as Ratchet got to the NT-2 as he began repairs.
"Are you alright?"
Bernie who was still coming out of his kinectic shock, saw Ratchet but could only nod as he was held up by the NT-1 who had just come back to assist Bernie but wasn't sure of the new robot that was helping Bernie... turned on her speakers to communicate with the Autobot.
"Is he going to be ok?"
"He'll be alright young miss... my tools may seem to be alien to you but I reckon I can fix the damage... just need a couple of seconds and... there we go, good as new."
Bernie tried a few things immediately as he realises that the electrical damage was gone and his suit responded much better than he remembered getting it.
"Hey what do you know? I feel better!"
Christina nodded as she noticed that the snake mecha had now just gotten out a very detailed spear out of nowhere and it was joining up with the Balor... as it was recovering from the throw.
"Are you alright Private Daniels?"
"Yeah... shaken up more of less Yuu... these robots are tougher than they look."
"I don't think we're going to be able to win this one."
"You might be right... yo LT, Milton what do you think about our situation?"
"Pretty f'd up if you ask me Paddy... heck I'm trying to make way here but this little robot is taking all of my attacks!"
The Nemean was literally swinging it's hammer to which Gears was enduring the blows albeit with damage popping up over time realising that it wasn't going to be long before it fell over.
"Guys! I could use a hand here!"
However Huffer and Hound were caught up by a blockade of 4 Constricticons mostly Scavenger, Mixmaster, Hook and Long Haul who surrounded the two Autobots.
"Well this is a problem."
"No sweat Huffer... all I have to do is..."
Immediately before said Constructicons reacted to Hound's patented hologram gun, a few explosions occupied the Decepticon attention away from the two as Hound immediately got the hologram gun to work which then displayed multiple Hound and Huffer which immediately confused the group.
"What is this?"
"Is this some sort of trick?"
"We know there's only two of them!"
"Damn Autobots and their tricks!"
Going through the masses of Huffer and Hound images secretly was Bumblebee who was in his transformed mode as he raced through silently not to make any noise or so just as he stopped just to let out Spike and Sparkplug of a nearby bunker.
"Hide here you two and make sure you stay still."
"Ok Bumblebee... but what about you?"
"I'll be fine Spike, don't worry!"
Bumblebee immediately spun into action as he went through a nearby hologram of Hound and then over a makeshift ramp that was made up of debris and used the speed and momentum to slam into the Construction group with full force causing the whole lot of them to fall over as the yellow car drove up.
Meanwhile Gears was still keeping the Nemean occupied with enduring every swing of the hammer, just as Jazz showed up alongside Gears.
"I'll take over from here Gears!"
"That thing is all yours Jazz!"
"I ain't done with you yet little bot!"
"Well now you got me to deal with, lion face!"
Milton was angry as he pressed some buttons as the Nemean's mouth opened up as coldness seeped through before it charged up.
"WHITE FREEZE!"
"Time to turn the heat up!"
The White Freeze which was in effect a powerful ice blast was countered by the overhead flamethrower as the two collided which saw steam rise up to which Jazz was strong against... as the Nemean wasn't moving back some.
"Step aside alien! I have a job to do!"
"I ain't just no alien! I'm an Autobot and I reckon you need to relax there beast bot, some soothing music should help!"
Jazz felt that this was an opportunity to test out his new sound speakers as the Autobot felt that using sonic vibrations aka music would help defeat the foe more easily as he turned to full blast, a song that was randomly selected which caused a massive amount of noise to hit the Nemean like a ton of bricks as it suffered damage.
"What the hell was that?!"
"That sounded like hard rock to me Silas!"
The Balor immediately joined the Nemean followed by the Orochi as other allied units began to surround the threesome.
"Looks like the odds ain't in our favor..."
"Dang it, you might be right Paddy..."
"We might need to make an escape though... anyone heard from LT?"
The Cerberus joined them as it flew from a distance having been hit from Amuro Ray's Hyper Bazooka at close range.
"LT?"
"I'm fine... just a bit shaken."
However several guns being pointed at them with some of them being Autobots as the two groups came together... as Lieutenant Anders realised that this was a lost battle.
"What do we do LT?"
"Well... we don't really have a choice do we?"
"You kinda don't Liutenant Anders."
The image of Director Truman showed up on each of the HX units as each of them was confused.
"Sir?"
"As of right now, we are no longer working with the United States Government... I just terminated our agreement thus there isn't any reason for you four to keep attacking, as of right now you four are to surrender to the Federation."
"But Director, won't we become prisoners for the Federation?"
"Don't worry Yuu, It will be ok... we're back to becoming neutral parties again."
"That's some kind of BS sir!"
"It's not BS Private Silas, if you surrender now then none of you won't get prosecuted or sent to the gallows."
"LT... do we really have to do this?"
"Guess we have no choice huh..."
Lieutenant Anders pressed the speaker button and adressed the combined forces.
"Lieutenant Anders of the HX Unit speaking... we have been told to surrender by our chairman and we will fully co-operate."
The entire HX unit then powered down and then held their hands up in defeat.
Meanwhile as the sparks continued to fly as Optimus and Megatron continued to exchange blows... Mazinger Z was fully prepared to use it's last desperate move as it stood up ready as he began to move his arms in a windmill motion.
"Kouji?"
"Trust me on this one Tetsuya..."
Whilst the weapon fighting was going on, Megatron casually observed what was going on with Mazinger Z and his arms moving back.
'What is that fleshling doing?'
"Optimus-san! Move!"
"Now Kouji!"
"DAISHARIN... IRON CUTTER!"
The rotating arms immediately blasted out Rocket Arm style as the momentum allowed them to go faster but the legacy that was Dr. Morimori was deployed as the iron blades turned it into a very powerful makeshift drill that completely smashed Megatron first in it's mid section and then smashing him directly into the face, this time it did do damage... visible damage as Megatron's mid section had a decent size cut as well as a cut on his face.
The look of absolute white-hot fury was replaced with a cold calculated smirk as he got up.
"Well human I am surprised... you have hurt me, you have hurt me more than what fool Optimus could do... I should praise you after all... it's not every day that I get hurt, BUT THAT WILL BE THE LAST TIME YOU WILL EVER DO THAT!"
Megatron's temper went supernova shooting Optimus with his fusion cannon straight into the chest sent the leader flying and right into Pilanias as the two went over some distance before the two went through several buildings as the Mazingers now literally had to deal with a alien tyrant who has lost his temper who was running at Mazinger Z with the Energon Sword in striking position as there no chance for a counter-attack.
"Kouji!"
"Kouji! No!"
Great Mazinger got in the way of the swing as it took the full on hit as it's damaged remains flew back and then falling down onto the ground being out of commission... Optimus Prime was about to help when Pilanias mad from being hit from a super heavy unknown alien robot, decided to attack the Autobot leader as the two began to struggle leaving Mazinger Z on it's own.
"Such heroic nonsense..."
"Tetsuya!"
"Don't worry fleshling, you'll be joining your friend soon enough!"
Megatron then proceeded to beat the living hell out of Mazinger Z, seeing the Super Alloy Z being torn off easily by not just the energon sword but also through Megatron's own hands tearing the metal off the body especially the heat sink... eventually Mazinger Z fell to his knees, in perfect execution position as Megatron aimed his powerful fusion cannon at Mazinger Z's cockpit.
"And now fleshing, any last words?"
Beaten, battered and bloody... Kouji realised that this whole situation was in fact from his nightmares and upon realising this, this was fate's way of telling him that this was it... the road had finally come to an end.
'NO! It's the same as the dream I've had!'
Kouji thought as he tried to get Mazinger back up but despite it running at full power and with Photon Energy coursing through it's systems... the Iron Giant wasn't functioning.
'Come on Mazinger! We've overcome stronger foes before! Don't let this be where it all ends!'
He thought back on the people who sacrificed themselves to make the world safe... losing his grandfather when he was killed by Baron Ashura giving him the motivation to pilot the titular mecha, then during the end phase of the war against Dr. Hell... where he was absolutely powerless to save Dr. Morimori from driving over a landmine which caused his jeep to crash down the cliff and exploded... he took that death very hard since he was tied up with razorwire by Count Brocken's troops.
'Please god, fates whoever can hear my words, don't let me die to this monster!'
He immediately thought to losing his father Kenzo at the end of the war against the Mycenae led by a resurrected Dr. Hell and combining their strengths with Tetsuya to finally defeat their most hated foe and the killer of their father... but now he was the one that was going to follow his father and grandfather if he didn't stop Megatron's blast.
'Grandfather! Morimori-san! Father! I've failed you... I'm sorry... Boss... Sayaka... SHIRO!'
'KOUJI!'
His eyes opened with the voice that he hadn't heard in years... Juuzo Kabuto, his grandfather.
'Grandfather!?'
'With this Mazinger I give you, it has the power for you to become either a God or a Devil... Kouji I know you can overcome all chalenges and protect this world from any and all future threats... I know that in desperate times you may need the power to exceed a god and conquer the devil.'
"No last words fleshling? Very well then... prepare for obliteration!"
Megatron began to charge up his fusion cannon ready to vaporise the Super Robot utterly but an explosion hitting his unprotected back stopped him from doing so... as he turned around still enraged.
"WHO IS THE COWARD THAT SHOT ME IN THE BACK!?"
Seeing the RX-78-02 with smoke coming out of it's Hyper Bazooka was the answer Megatron seeked.
"I'LL COME FOR YOU NEXT WHEN MAZINGER Z FALLS TO MY FUSION CANNON!"
However that moment of distraction came as Mazinger Z managed to get up with power now coursing through it's systems and it's eyes now glowing fully yellow as Kouji managed to not only get the machine up but however was overloading the power system as it was now above 100% and beyond... unknownst to anyone that several cores hidden inside Mazinger Z were now fully glowing and was regenerating the damage it took... something Megatron realised too late.
"How are you standing fleshling? Doesn't matter, I can just put you back down!"
Megatron threw a powerful punch at Mazinger Z but instead of sending it down, the mecha just took it squarely in the face and literally looked back, eyes still glowing yellow... it's aura radiated harshly as even the gladiatorial warlord baulked at.
'Is... is this fear I'm suffering? I'm the leader of the Decepticons! I will rule this universe, this human can't scare ME!'
"YOU ARE NOTHING TO ME!"
Megatron threw another hard punch at Mazinger Z but this time, the Super Robot caught the fist firmly... Kouji's eyes were now engrossed by Photon Energy as he glared at the Decepticon leader and proceeded to squeeze the fist hard, something that Megatron was feeling... pain.
"Impossible! This can't be happening!"
"OH YES IT IS MEGATRON!"
Mazinger Z punched Megatron very hard sending the warlord back some distance before the mecha found an opening... jumping high into the air to which the sun gleamed hard, blinding Megatron.
"MAZIN KICK!"
Mazinger Z immediately did a jumping dive kick to the Decepticon's mid section that caused him to flinch hard because of the pent up damage... Megatron held his stomach and immediately realised that this was not a battle that he can win... so he jumped into the air and flew away.
"DECEPTICONS RETREAT! RETREAT!"
Disbelief fell upon the other Decepticons as their leader issued the withdraw order as the Constructicons and Soundwave's group immediately followed their leader as they all left... Mazinger Z fell to the group as his burst of energy expired and the last remaining threat Pilanias saw it's chance after it shook off it's seemingly stronger foe and made a beeline for the Mazingers.
"Oh crap we forgot about that monster!"
"It's after Mazinger Z!"
"What do we do?"
"Don't worry fellows, Optimus has it covered."
Optimus Prime was not quite done with Gilanias as the leader wasn't finished with their battle as he grabbed the Warrior Beast's tail firmly with the strength of 10 Mazingers.
"We are not done yet monster!"
Pulling it back hard, the Warrior Beast effortlessly was tossed like a ragdoll as it changed it's mind about the Mazingers and focused on the Autobot leader as it roared it's challenge before firing off it's bombs to which Optimus took with no damage to itself.
"I won't go down easily!"
Pilanias was taken back as Optimus strode forward ignoring the bombs it kept firing until the Autobot leader activated it's Energon Axe and firmly slashed at Pilanias's side ignoring the acidic scales and causing a lot of pain to which the Warrior Beast screeched loudly before the beast decided to tackle Optimus hard, pressing it's scales onto Optimus to try and burn the Cybertronian with it's acidic scales.
"Need any help Prime?"
"Don't worry Jazz, I'll be alright!
Immediately grasping his hands onto the front legs of Pilanias, it surprised the Warrior Beast by not lifting it high but also getting up with the fronts legs still gripped.
"Fancy about a lift?"
Immediately lifting the beast high into the air, Optimus then slammed him onto the ground creating a very large crater that saw Pilanias stunned and beaten... not before Pilanias tried one last time to bite Optimus Prime's head off cleanly but that was impossible considering Optimus literally axed him hard in the face which took a good chance of it's face off before grasping what's left in his hands.
"Is he...?"
"Yep this is Prime we're talking about."
Optimus focused all of his anger, his rage and all of it's sorrows into the millions of years that he fought against Megatron, the Decepticons and losing his close friends and loved ones into his power and literally with the strength of Primes previously held in the Matrix... literally tore Pilanias in half with his bare hands and that by itself was impressive.
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
The monster screamed it's last as he was torn into two like junk and then those remaining bits literally exploded as Optimus Prime stood there badassingly and then literally he was exhausted as he went to one knee.
The battle had been won... but things were very much going to change.
TO BE CONTINUED...
(Taro) At long last the California Base Battle has concluded with our heroes winning and the Autobots meeting up with the White Base, the Mazingers and pretty much everyone else... they have officially entered the arc itself and practically the story can now pick up.
So you are wondering why have I paired UC Gundam and G1 Transformers... surprisingly both are literally the same, both have cycles of war dedicated to death, destruction and rebirth and both have tragic heroes with successors waiting in the wings... although for Rodimus, things are less said.
The way Mazinger Z was going through is a hint of what's to come for the arc essentially there's one line that's a big giveaway and more likely will make people excited too because it is a fan favourite of any SRW and looking through the list I had prepared, there was no true OP Super Robot.
Also describing the event itself is also a spoiler for one of the big four villians of this universe as already mentioned before... literally the hype for said villian is a reason to get excited because this will be a true terror to face.
Next chapter is going to be the next big split where one path leads to Japan and the other path leads to Space... and we will be catching up with the Assault Suit team too as well as one last surprise.
