An explosion rocked west side Citysville and several mechanical women flocked out of a large semi truck; the Citysville Police Force were caught off guard and so only a handful of them were suited up and beating back the army.
And if you factored in the explosion's damage to the power grid that lead to the main security system and the back up wouldn't take over for about ten seconds, the Citysville Police Force wasn't just caught off-guard, but pants down with a magazine.
"T-minus 14 seconds to lockdown," Sarah Robinson said, her hands flying over the keyboard trying to get the lockdown to activate quicker.
"5 seconds," Sarah said, shooting a look over her shoulder to her boss and then looking to the screen.
Down on the ground floor and a few stories up, red alarms alerted the few power suited officers (which was about 16) that lockdown was going to seal the building, they ceased firing unless one of those creatures was about to get inside.
A large sheet of metal slid down and covered windows, doors and walls; above the metal sheets hidden panels opened and camera-like things poked out.
One of the camera things fired a laser burst and blew a small group of those monsters away.
"Great plan," Lichung said as she climbed out of the cargo area with her power suit on. "What's next? We go to Geese tower and attack using sticks?"
"Not one word, test subject," Dr. Zeighger said while sliding out of the cab.
Another large semi came driving up; Lichung thought Dr. Zeighger had brought more useless freaky women. Imagine her utter surprise when a large metal fist ripped through the cargo area. Huge robots that looked as if they came right out of Outlaw Star filled the streets.
"Sweet Buddha!? What are those things?" Lichung said while stumbling back, even with her power suit on and her Chemical X insignia enhanced body she could tell the units before her could tear her into pieces, move on to the police station, then Citysville and Townsville and still have enough destroying power left over.
"Like them?" the brown haired girl said as she walked around the front of the first truck. "I built them; they are the Yami Aku destroyers."
Lichung raised a brow. "Darkness evil destroyers?"
"Let's not linger over the name; it just sounds cool," the girl said. She walked towards one of the Yami Aku destroyers and a hatch opened, letting her inside.
Steam spewed out as the hatch closed and the Yami Aku destroyer moved.
"Let's get this over with," the digitized tone from the mecha said and started for the building.
Lichung shrugged and followed the small army of monsters and machines; the Yami Aku destroyers tore into the lockdown like they were nothing.

"Damn it!" Sarah said; she bolted out of the chair so fast it was knocked over. Alarms were going off like there was no tomorrow.
Because in this case there was none!
She rushed down the hall avoiding suited-up officers and entered a room filled with tons of equipment, like the special suit in the glass tube in the center.
She activated the codes through a terminal and waited for the glass to go down and the hatch of the suit.
Climbing in and settling in while the hatch closed, she opened a quick com-link to the main headquarters and requested some equipment (queue the stock footage ^n\./n^.)
On her left arm an energy saber appeared; on her right a small fusion cannon appeared. The entire power suit glowed as the mainframe teleported an armour upgrade.
'Gotta protect the cross S.O.U.L. core!' she thought as she took to the offensive.
*********************************2
Lichung grabbed the neck of a cyber officer and manage to crush him in mere seconds; she dodged a hail of gunfire.
The H.U.D. (Heads Up Display) was telling her there were about four power-suited officers armed with lasers; with great speeds Lichung launched from a crouch to a solid kick to the leader of the barrage.
Proud of her actions that lead to the fall of a whole horde of officers, she came under fire again.
This time it was from those annoying little robots with lasers. They were meant to delay the intruder until reinforcements came.
Unfortunately the lasers they were equipped with were weak, about barely stun weak. And to someone in a full metal power suit they would just anger the person inside, if they could feel it.
"Damn mosquitoes," Lichung said as she made her way to the area that held the items she needed.
Being lead via H.U.D. map she found a door with "restricted access" on it; she opened up a compartment in her suit and pulled out a few wires and attached them to the electronic lock next to the door.
The small robots still were firing onto her, they flew around in fancy formations and pelted her over and over again, but Lichung didn't even notice.
When the lock gave one of the robots hovered in front of her; without thinking she took both of her hands and squished it.
When the door opened she was greeted by a fist colliding with her helmet, which sent her through several walls and outside where she fell sixteen stories to the hard streets below where she landed on a car.
Lichung clinched her teeth as she went through this wicked ride and nearly blacked out as the glass from the windshield sprayed all over.
Moving was difficult for her, but she managed to get off the car in time to avoid an energy saber slicing her head off. Lichung ducked down to her left as the saber came high, then she straft to her right to avoid a thrust and then jumped to save her legs from a swing.
Still in the air from her jump, Lichung delivered a kick to the attacker's head. While it may not have harmed him/her it did manage to throw the attacker off balance and gave Lichung some breathing room.
She saw her attack wasn't in just some normal cyber/power suit; it more a mecha then anything.
Ten feet tall, padded with red armour with black showing from the "exposed" parts such as elbows, knee joints and sides of the thing's hips. And from the size of the exposed parts Lichung realized that in reality the power suit was about the same size (give or take a inch or two) as she was; the red armour was basically padding.
Padding that might be armed with missiles, battling guns and other nasty stuff she didn't want to think about.

Sarah stared at the young Asian girl in the mangled power suit. The scans and H.U.D. said she has some kind of Chemical X that matched up with something in the data banks but didn't pay much attention to it.
"Prototype, come in!" a transmission came in through a speaker in her helmet.
"Here," Sarah said, her eyes never leaving Lichung.
"The cross S.O.U.L. core has been stolen, it seems someone punched through the floor of the containment room."
Sarah felt her eye twitch; where were the other two special units?
'On vacation,' Sarah reminded herself, which she was now kicking herself for not remembering.
Sarah started for Lichung to capture her when something happened, something that was about two tons and the size of an armour truck, which was a two-ton armor truck.
When Sarah turned to face it it was almost upon her; she shrugged, as it would be child's play to crush a speeding armour truck.
Arching her fist back and letting it fly forward quickly into the grill guard, she triggered an event.
Here's the play by play: In the grill guard was a wire that was so sensitive it could snap at a slight breeze. When this was snapped it triggered a device that sent a current through another wire that lead to a detonator between the cargo area and the cab, which was filled with robots.
And this lead to the earth-shaking explosion that knocked out Sarah.
A second armour truck came by and Lichung managed to grab onto its back. Dr. Zeighger, the girl and Lichung escaped with cross S.O.U.L. core.
And Sarah was left with a headache.
