"It's been a while since we've been here. Hey, DL?" "[Yes? What is it?]" "Did you know that this is where we got the Vanguard-class Titans?" "[No, I didn't.]"

"Cut the chatter! We've got Marauder Corps Pilots moving in from the Bay!" A Grunt transmitted. "There's two Heavy Turrets here. We need them online for better defenses." Michael stated. "I just took care of the City Turret, but it looks like they've already got the one to the West." Responded Anthony. "Ready for a mortar strike!" Carlos and Mr Mortar were standing by. "I think I'll use my Pilot weapons this time. I've been using my Power Suit so much I almost forgot I had the stuff." "IMC Iron Pilot combat suit arriving in three... two... one... mark." The Iron Pilot landed with a clang, ready for action.

"Hold up. Got negative signatures, and it doesn't look good. Enemy Vanguard-class Titans detected!" Michael reported. A squad of SRS Pilots and Vanguard-class Titans dropped in, the Marauder Corps was winning.

Just then, another Pilot was heard on the comms. "Heads up! Watch out for the big guns!" "Big guns?" Michael wondered. Two IMC Legion-class Titans dropped in, one of them asking for Michael. "[Greetings, Michael Johnson. I am TE-5138, your new Legion-class Titan.]" "Iron Pilot, disembark." The armor plating of the Iron Pilot retracted, allowing Michael to jump into the Legion's cockpit.

"[Protocols loaded. Connecting to neural link. Synchronizing program Omni-10. Engaging Pilot-Mode. Predator Cannon at your disposal. Marking targets.]" With the Legion connected to Michael's neural link, the Pilot opened fire, causing untold levels of destruction against the Marauder Corps.

"[Enemy Titans destroyed.]" "I am detecting increased enemy signatures. What's the situation?" Spyglass reported. "It's the SRS!" Michael answered. "Stand by. I am on my way."

A familiar IMC Ogre-class Titan dropped in, wielding a Quad Rocket. "Spyglass, what are you doing?! They're the best of the best!" Michael worried. "We are better." "Oh. Right. All units, move in! Infantry, take aim with Anti-Titan weapons! Pilots, destroy those Titans! We're winning this!" The Grunts launched Archer Heavy Rocket missiles and the Spectres fired Charge Rifle energy beams at the enemy Titans, distracting and damaging them while the IMC Pilots destroyed them. Despite being Auto-Titans, Sid, Vanessa, Jeeves, DL-2671, PN-8638, and XS-9365 all did exceptionally well.

Jeeves punched into a Vanguard's cockpit, then threw the enemy Pilot at a wall hard enough to kill the soldier from the impact.

Vanessa punched into the cockpit of another Vanguard before ripping out the Pilot before crushing him in her metal hand as the enemy Titan fell over.

A Vanguard went in the punch Sid's empty cockpit, only for the Ogre-class Titan to catch the fist, kick the shoulder servo in half, discard the severed right arm, pull out the left arm, and smash it against the literally disarmed Vanguard-class Titan, annihilating it.

XS-9365 hit a Vanguard-class Titan with the Laser Shot, making it go in to retaliate, only to counter it, knocking the Titan on its back with the cockpit open and the Pilot exposed before letting out a big red beam, vaporizing both the Pilot and the Vanguard.

DL-2671 kicked an SRS Vanguard, dislocating the lower part of its cockpit hatch before spiraling down on one knee, unfolding both Acolyte Pods, and unloading with bullets and rockets, destroying the cockpit and the Pilot inside.

Michael impaled one of the Vanguards and held the trigger on the Predator Cannon, shredding the Titan's internal circuits over his head before dropping the dead Titan and resuming fire on the others.

A Vanguard-class Titan tried to punch into the cockpit of Spyglass's Ogre, but the Vice Admiral caught it by the wrist and launched a stream of rockets straight into the shoulder servo, blasting it to pieces before kicking the Titan down and stomping through the Vanguard's cockpit, killing it and the Pilot.

"Another Vanguard-class Titan is dropping in!" A Grunt reported. An SRS Vanguard landed, wielding a Predator Cannon.

Michael looked over his team, the Titans were severely damage and needed repairs immediately. The Iron Pilot had overridden its own command and retreated back to the IMC HQ. "I'll keep these guys safe. Don't worry. Just take out that Vanguard-class Titan!" The new Pilot ordered. "Thanks. I'll try." "Name's Palmer Hughes, formerly of the Apex Predators. I left and wanted to fight for the IMC, instead of for myself." "Welcome to Eagle-Eye 9-1." "[Smart Core is ready.]" "Let's do this." Michael stepped forth to face the last SRS Vanguard-class Titan in the area. On it, the chassis number was visible.

FS-1041.

There's the new Pilot, his Titan, and Michael's new Legion-class Titan.

Wow! SRS Vanguard-class Titan Foxtrot-Sierra One-Zero-Four-One!

It's... It's Jack Cooper. He's here.
