Gemini had punched through the defense of the factory, she kicked in the weak side doors than flew around while firing off her missiles into the machinery, both hostile and stationary, looking for anything out of place that might lead her to the boss. The closest thing she found was a large elevator platform, it was good enough for her.
Pressing the button before avoiding the gatling fire of a large oval shaped tank she strafed while firing energy arrows, she may have caused dents in the metal but the thing kept firing.
Plan B, she thought. Hovering over the elevator hole she allowed the jet boosters to go out, plummeting several floors while overhead the machine was jumping in after her. She pressed herself against the wall while activating the boosters, while one thing may have stopped the other kept going straight on down until it met something solid. Like the floor.
Gemini floated down slowly to the bottom, when she got there she blinked and shook her head.
"Aw, hell," her uncle, Boomer, said. "What are you doing here?"
"Stopping the invasion," Gemini said as she turn off the jet boosters. "I guess you are too."
"Pretty much," Boomer said. He looked around the room, it was enormous with computer consoles lining the walls as holograms showed up above them. There was a huge door that was just opening, that's when the high commander came in.
She was dressed like she was out a old war movie, in a grey uniform that looked like it came out of 1940's Germany. Her hair was short and black and her eyes were very cold.
"Impossible," Boomer as he took in the sight. "Edna Keane?"
Gemini raised a brow, her mothers' old teacher? The one that died during the Majin Taisen?
How can she be here and look so young too? Gemini thought, but it was all interrupted by Boomer firing off a shot at the woman. No surprise that it didn't make contact, the woman had a energy shield surrounding her.
"Welcome," Commander said. "I am amazed by your efforts to stop my invasion, but this is as far as you go." The walls panels lifted up a little letting out some steam, than it came forward. "You know, despite those suits you're still mere humans. Me, though. I am full of surprises!" The metal walls and the consoles surrounded her and converted her into a large metal ball with arms and legs.
Boomer reached for his stronger lazer while Gemini search the menu for the right weapon for this, within seconds her metal shelling was converted to a pure white suit with a blue orb in the center of her chest plate that was surrounded by a small edge of metal.
She leap out the path of a fist coming her way, the wall and floor where she was standing was shattered. She fell onto her side and slid a little. Another fist came after her that she dodged, Boomer was firing of shots at the thing but not making any dents.
The surface of the ball seem to shimmer and move, it became a hole that both could guess isn't good. And it was aiming for Gemini.
There was a bright shine coming from within the cannon, Boomer shouted something but it was too late. The cannon fired. It seemed everything had stopped for a moment, with Gemini standing there about to get killed.
That was except someone had interfered, by removing Gemini from harm's way. A red haired man dressed in a traveler's shawl, nether Gemini nor Boomer got a look at his face but they did notice the robotic arm that peeked out from under the shawl.
"Computer!" The man shouted, this silver coloured metal wolf appeared from behind the Commander. What was amazing about this thing it turn into light and than solidified after tearing through the machine, the wolf stood by the man's side as he raised the machine arm to expose a cannon hidden away in the wrist.
"Mr. Mojo," the man said without turning. "I suggest getting back to your daughter in Neogeoville, she needs you desperately. I can handle this thing."
Boomer didn't give it a second thought, he picked up Gemini as he ran for the elevator. He figures if his companion can tear through the Commander easily than he'll do fine, besides his daughter might need him.
"Good luck," Gemini shouted as the elevator moved upward. The man and the silver robot wolf stood before the sparking black machine.
"I know you're watching," he said with a smirk. "While this isn't apart of my mission, I still have to keep you in line sister."
Jude was standing in the center of masses of twisted metal and smoking wreckage, her fingers and knuckles were raw and bloody. Her mind was trying to make sense of what happened, one second she was with friends the next she was at the scene of her family's death spot. Armored officers were now coming into the area and ushering people out, the last person she would expect to see was throwing around a robot by it's arm.
Fuuma smashed the thing into ground when he spotted Jude, he ran over and caught her after almost falling from exhaustion. She cried as he helped her alone with the other survivors coming out of their hold outs.
Princess had seen both Buttercup and Alexandria among the crowd of escapees, she tried to get to them but the crowd got to thick and she was force back to making sure the machines would stay away from the shelter.
It was a few hours when Fuuma helped Jude limp into place with other survivors. She hurried over and help her down onto a cot in the medic area.
"What is going on?" Princess asked herself, "Fuuma, where's everyone?"
"My parents are in another shelter, I found Jude on the streets and I can see Buttercup and Alexandria over there."
"Is there any news about the robots outside?"
Fuuma shrugged, he sat down next to Jude while a doctor checked her over. "I can't wait 'til this is over."
"I'm going to see how Alex and 'Cup are doing," Princess said as she began to fight through the crowd.
On the downside the plan failed, on the upside they not only reveal several new enemies they have new weapons to sell on the black market from the siege.
The cost of the machines spent in the attack was just basic chump change, and Akumaru liked that very much. Jack's learning more and more about this new operating systems.
The Hakke are more powerful than ever.
Don't think this is the end people, this is just the beginning.
