Leviathan was sitting in his AC. He had changed his name back to his original name and had a new AC. His name was now Tyler and his AC was medium-weighted, had quadruped legs, and sported only energy weapons, its name was Leviathan. "Crap!" spat Tyler as he observed the scene. The controllers army had swept through most of Layer 5 completely demolishing it. "The army grew double its original size and split in two," Said Tyler to himself.

The leader of the 2nd army was a dark light-weighted AC. It resembled John AC. The thought of his deceased friend made Tyler grimace. "Why did he have to die?" asked Tyler. He had seen John's AC fall before a hail of grenades. Now Tyler was chasing the 2nd army and had recruited several other AC pilots. "Leviathan to Eagle Eye," said Tyler into his radio, "Any sight of the 2nd Controller army?"

A face popped up in a screen in Tyler's cockpit. Eagle Eye was a young teenage boy with blonde hair and the lightest, fastest AC possibly built. The AC was teal-aqua and had a radar back part, the longest sight FCS, and the /002 boosters built by Mirage. "Yeah, I met some of their scouts. Turns out they're heading towards Layer 5."

"OK. Squad head out." As he said this 4 thrusters came alive among the ruins and multiple AC's was in the air. "Now where's the closest Layer gate?" whispered Tyler to himself. The nearest one was 2 kilometers away.

Meanwhile a Global Cortex garage was under siege on Layer 5. A lone black AC was standing on a hill a few kilometers away from the defense. Suddenly it's visor came alive and turned green. Boosting into the air it flew towards the giant bunker.

The Controller was watching its new general using remotely controlled MT's. The AC dropped into the bunker between the defending AC's. They turned to fire but too late, Over Boosting towards a group of AC's he cut through a lot of them with its moonbeam saber. The torsos of AC's fell to the ground one by one and one thorough mid-air sweep took out half the remaining defenders. On the other side of the bunker the AC's fired their weapons where the Phantom had stood there just moments before. It boosted into the shadows and the remaining AC's couldn't track it. Behind them a thin green line appeared and a bluish white line sliced through the remaining cockpits and the bunker became clear.

The Controller was actually impressed. Was it able to feel impressed or emotions all together? It didn't know; it started to think things it wasn't programmed to think since it had started to malfunction.

***********5 hours later***********

Tyler was watching the fire burn up the last of the garage. Surrounding him were 5 AC's, his recruits. Apparently the 2nd Army had marched in a straight line and destroyed and killed everything along the way, citizens and defenders as well. "Move out, lets go" Tyler got into a transport plane along with 5 other AC's.

Tyler walked into the pilot lounge exhausted. The 6 of them had been chasing the 2nd Army attacking supplies and ambushing scouting parties. Even with other anti-Controller teams and armies they still continue to destroy cities, sections, and layers. Sipping his coffee he sat quietly and thought about things. An alarm sounded and Tyler almost fell out of his seat. Getting to the cargo bay he got ready to launch his new AC.

A voice in his helmet started speaking. "Drop off in 5. 4, 3, 2, and 1." A beep went off and a sense of vertigo overwhelmed Tyler. The sensation disappeared as soon as he landed. Eagle Eye and another lightweight AC named Omega went off to scout.

Immediately a loud explosion was heard and AC limbs flew everywhere. Tyler and another pilot named Jake went to investigate. Among the remains of several MT's were Eagle Eye and Omega's scorched remains, there was one treaded AC aiming one of the most powerful known AC weapon at them, the grenade launcher. Panicking, Jake tried to move away but got caught in Eagle Eye's remains and the tried to fire at the Controller AC. It took the brunt of the damage but seemed unaffected and fired a grenade at the trapped AC. Using its arm machine guns it started shooting at Tyler but most of it missed as Tyler jumped behind a building. Boosting backwards and firing his pulse cannon he tried to get away from the enemy AC. Apparently its weakness was energy weapons because it fell apart in matter of seconds.

The last 3 pilots landed. Their names were Felix, Claude, and David. All of them piloted AC's with reverse-joint legs and held a type of machine gun. They told him that they were all brothers and the rest of their family died to a Controller MT. Suddenly an explosion kilometers away occurred and gave off the appearance of a large golden dome.

"Blast!" thought Tyler "They're using nukes!" As though they were one all 4 AC's boosted off in the direction of explosion. When they got there they found the remains of a large battle. Charred remains of AC's, MT's, and other military vehicles littered the area surrounding a very large crater. The Controller's army had won and several black colored AC's and MT's were lumbering around looking for survivors to kill. Something happened all of a sudden. First the 4 AC's flew towards the remains of the Controller's army guns blazing. Then several AC's fired TITAN class missiles. Several explosions took place as Felix disappeared from the face of existence and multiple MT's fell over and exploded or imploded.

"Stop!" shouted a familiar voice. Strangely, everything and everyone did. It was the General of the 2nd Controller army. A picture of the pilot appeared in every ones communication box. The general took his helmet off. Nothing could have prepared Tyler of what happened next. The general of the 2nd Controller Army was. John.

Stunned by the thought of John being alive and the betrayal of a close friend he could not move or talk. Tyler just stood there. Hoping for an explanation that he never got Tyler just waited. A blue energy blade erupted from John's left arm. Boosting towards the confused pilots he reared his arm then slashed. Seeing his brothers die Claude fired blindly at the group of black MT's and AC's that followed the commands of the killer of his entire family. Flames erupted from the bodies of giant mechanized humanoids as bullets the size of a man impaled them. Under the orders of their general they didn't retaliate as their numbers dropped drastically.

Claude backed into a wall still firing. He didn't see John's AC above him drop down. Because of his bloodlust Claude didn't hear the 10-ton robot land on top of his. John stood there for a moment. Tyler watched hoping John wouldn't kill the last of his party, remembering how John hated to kill. Then just as he thought John was going to get down, he slashed straight through the center of the AC. The blade went straight through the head, the cockpit, and came out the crotch. Seeing so much death Tyler passed out and didn't remember what happened for the next few weeks.
