The Beginning of the Belkan Conflict
"Are you kidding me?" Touji stared at the towering hunks of metal that stood in front of them. "This does seem a bit difficult comprehend" Thomas said to which Kensuke could only nod. In front of them and the rest of the Striker squadron, stood 6 new vehicles.
Three planes, the same type as the ones the Yellow Squadron used. A repairer, a medic type vehicle equipped with enough tools that could put a small plane back together from scrap. And finally two humanoid machines with two large cannons at the end of each arm, and a missile pod integrated into the shoulders.
"Quite the arsenal, don't ya think?" Each head turned to see the General of the base. A middle aged and graying man in uniform. "We received these machines as a type of gift from an unknown group, besides these machines we also have two more gigantic machines. The planes have been named the Veritechs, they can transform from plane to the half-plane half-humanoid form called Guardian, and finally the completely humanoid form called the Battleloid. The medic has been named the R-Mechan, and the humanoid "tanks" are the Destroids. The other two large units we have are named the Goliaths."
"And the ones right in front of us…who's going to use them?" Shinji asked, "Well you are of course!" The General said with a laugh. Shinji stood dumbstruck by those few words. "Oh, and Seer should be here soon, so he'll be taking one of these vehicles as well."
"Seer's cleared to fight again?" Glenn half-shouted in surprise, "Oh don't be too surprised to have me back in the squadron." The voice echoed from the entrance of the hangar, where the young US American stood with confident grin.
Each of the members were glad to see Seer up on his feet and ran over to welcome him back into the squadron. "Easy guys," Seer said nervously "It's not like I died or anything." "I'm glad that you six will be happy to be working together, because the next missions that are coming up for you will be tough."
Everyone had calmed down by then, and a tense air could be felt throughout the hangar. "It seems that Belka, the warring nation between Osea and Yuktobania, has declared war again and is trying to establish an empire. Since this is in fact, a threat to the world, we are obligated to take part, but all we can do is send you and a few soldiers to aid them. Our own war is also taking it's toll on us and we can't let go of many soldiers. You will be leaving at 14:00, dismissed!"
"These new planes work great!" Shinji exclaimed as he moved to the right and to the left. The transport plane ahead of them held the other three pilots and their vehicles. "Easy there Knight, let's try to stay calm until we reach the base."
"Roger that Striker-Lead! I copy!" "Hey Boss," Touji could be heard from the radio of the transport plane, "Where exactly are we headed?" "The Belkan attack will affect Yuktobania and Osea the most, we'll be landing in Osea."
Shinji chuckled slightly "Captain, I think he's asking where exactly, as in where is it?" Seer couldn't hold back a laugh before he finally answered "It's three of the few countries that were recreated after the second Impact. Osea took in much of Italy and countries just north of it, Yuktobania was made from a small amount of Northern Africa. Belka was created from parts of lower Europe; including Spain, Portugal, and other countries around them."
"Oh I see, and Osea is going to be our destination?" Touji asked "Yup" replied Shinji clearly as they continued their flight. "Has anyone read the manual for this contraption?" Thomas suddenly called through, Seer slightly nodded "The controls aren't that different from a normal plane, I've tried the transformations, they're not that tough to master. Just make sure you study the manual and you'll be fine." "Roger, thank you for the information."
Kensuke banged his head while he tuned up his R-Mechan, as he rubbed his head he called in "Hey, what about David? You think he'll be sent here too?" "They'll probably finish the war there sooner than this one, so he'll probably come join us soon."
"It'll be good to fight alongside him again…" Kensuke said quietly as he got back to work. "Yeah, you can say that again…Hey Glenn! You've been pretty quiet, what's up?" "I'm sorry Captain Reins, I've been…thinking…about my sister and……" "…And?"
"Someone very special to him!" Touji said in a teasing tone of voice. "No! It's j-just a…a good friend of mine…" Glenn half-shouted desperately. "I bet it's Rei, lord knows, he had a good time with her while on leave" Seer said while he tried to contain his laughter.
"Hey, Calm down back there! We're getting close to the landing point!" "Roger that, Transport, we copy!"
"Welcome to Osea my friends! It is a pleasure to have you at Shore Trove base!" An official stated as he gave Seer a bear hug. "I-It's go-ooood to be here" Seer strained to say as his ribs began to force his lungs to shrink. Once the official had let go, Seer was breathing heavily as the large official introduced himself, "I am Oslav of the Yuktobanian Navy, a pleasure to be working with you!"
Oslav was an unnaturally tall man with bushy black hair and a long nicely trimmed beard. He was also pretty big, not just in height, but in his arms and chest. Fortunately he was very good natured and was friends with everyone on the base.
Oslav took them to the Aircraft carrier that would act as their base when they had begun their move against Belka. The USS Kestrel of the Osean navy, there they met the acting Admiral and his second in command. The Admiral was known as Johran, while the second in command was Lt. Admiral Andersen. Johran was an aged man with what seemed like years of experience etched in every wrinkle. He was completely bald and had a finely groomed white mustache.
Lt. Admiral Andersen was a slightly younger man, but his hair was beginning to gray. He didn't have as much experience as the Admiral but he was well on his way. After a quick salute each of the warriors began to talk to each other about what their next mission would be.
"Hey Mana!" Hikari was running down the sidewalk, towards her mahogany brown haired friend. Mana turned around as Hikari began to slow to a walk in order to catch her breath, before she asked "What are you doing here Hikari?" "I got a message from a pilot, they told me about Shinji and the others!"
"What did they say?" Mana exclaimed, clearly intrigued by the sudden news. "They've been reassigned, they're going to be fighting a different war!" Mana gasped slightly as she looked down to the ground "Their fighting Belka…" "What's wrong?"
"Belka has been increasing their industrial strength for the past 10 years, their not going to be an easy enemy…" "But Belka has always lost before, and now they have the allies Yuktobania and Osea to help them."
"Yuktobania and Osea? They haven't been allies since the Second Impact!" Hikari smiled slightly "Well, they have a common enemy to face, they're ready to fight alongside each other for the end of this war."
"…Who gave the message?" "Some pilot who met the guys….umm, Barlett. David Bartlett." Mana's eyes widened once she heard the name "THE Bartlett! Geez, it's one surprise after another!"
"Surprises that you are pretty aware of, while we're left out of the loop…" Mana froze for a second, before she turned around and saw the red haired beauty, Asuka, stand behind her with an annoyed look. "Now spill! How are you getting this information? And what more do you know that we don't?"
Mana began to back away from Asuka but only managed to bump into Hikari and found herself trapped. "Umm…well you see, I get my information from a few old friends…you know? And Barlett is one of the greater Aces in the ISAF Air Force, also known as Mobius one. And lastly…Belka made a new weapon for Eurasia, one that's stronger than Stonehenge according to the beliefs of my friends, which means that Belka must have something up their sleeve as well."
Once Mana finished, she was looking down, not wanting to see the look in the eyes of her friends because of this hidden information. "Guess this means that they'll come back heroes after all!" Mana's head shot up once she heard that statement come from Asuka. She couldn't believe her ears, but Asuka had said that, and she was smiling.
"Don't worry Mana, they'll come back once both wars are done with." Hikari stated with a compassionate expression. Mana nodded slightly as Asuka suddenly yelled, "Now! Let's get to a Café and get something to eat, I'm starved!" Mana smiled as she looked back "I sure hope that Shinji is all right…"
-
"Achoo!" "You ok Shinji?" Seer asked, Shinji nodded and smiled. "Anyhow gentlemen, this mission is important if we are to have an equal advantage against the Belkans, they can also help the ISAF incredibly."
"Well, since it's a city, it'll be difficult to limit the casualties. It's civilian right?" "And it's Osean as well, which means we don't want any casualties…thankfully, we will be trying to begin an evacuation while you're attacking from one edge. Hopefully, the Belkans won't be able to move fast enough and the people will escape."
Touji nodded slowly at the Admiral's plan. "Anything else we need to worry about?" Kensuke asked "Since it's the factory for all the Newtech vehicles, as we've decided to call them now, there will be a number of pilots using these machines against you." Andersen stated as calmly as possible before continuing "We will be sending more than a few tanks and soldiers to assist you, but against that type of technology, you are our only hope."
"I'm starting to understand why we were picked for this reassignment" Glenn whispered, Seer then stood up. "Well gentlemen, I think that's all the information we need, we'll commence the operation when you're ready." Seer gave a salute and walked out with the rest of the squadron.
"What a mission this is going to be!" Touji said as he stretched from not moving around. "It will be helpful, we could use at least one Newtech factory, and the Belkans have a lot of them, we need to start equaling the odds here." Kensuke stated before he pushed his glasses back up on his nose.
"I think this'll be fun" Each head turned to where Shinji stood, he wore a grin on his face as he stated "It'll be our chance to try out our new machines." "I have to agree with Shinji here, I think this is gonna be a good test for us." Seer said as he patted Shinji on the back.
It was done. Each of the squadron members headed to their machines to give them a last minute tune up. It wasn't long before the siren for the start of the mission sounded and the three planes, two destroids, and one R-Mechan prepared for the departure to the battlefield.
"How do you think he's doing?"
"I'm sure he's fine…he'd never give up the battle, he's like you in that way"
"…Will he come back?"
"Our little gift can ensure that, as long as he doesn't do anything reckless"
"Gendo…if you're wrong about this…I'll consider it a second betrayal……and you know what that will mean, don't you?"
"Yes Yui, I understand…I have…faith…in that boy…he will come through"
"For your sake, you better hope so"
"Oh trust me, I do"
-
"Transport 1 to Striker Squadron, we're coming over the city now. The mission is starting, the Veritechs are to enter the city and try to secure the ground area while the ground machines parachute to the ground"
"This is Striker-Lead, call sign Blood, roger that!" "The operation commences now!"
Seer, Shinji, and Thomas began their quick descent to the city. If they were to look up, they would see the back of the transport plane open up.
"Looks like the battle's already started, no Newtech vehicles though. They've been able to hold up, but they need you're back up immediately." "Roger that, we're on our way. Shinji, those guys are yours, me and Thomas will go into the city to take out any other enemy forces you might go up against."
"Roger that Captain, I'm on my way" Shinji broke away from his two comrades and skimmed the earth before he transformed into Battleloid mode and landed beside the ground allies. He knelt his machine down and began to snipe at the enemy tanks and pillboxes blocking the pathway for the allied soldiers.
G Forces "I'm happy we've got these guys with us" "I copy that, we need to think of a name for them, you know?" "Later! We've got a fight on our hands!" "Yes Sir!"
Shinji smiled slightly as he fired on the tanks that were trying to reach firing range. He then noticed many lights, quickly shooting through the sky "Enemy Artillery fire! Get down!"
The artillery fire soon crashed to the ground and exploded around the soldiers and around Shinji's veritech. Then a explosions sounded from the metallic shoulder of the veritech.
Shinji fell to the ground from the force of the attack, before the ground force commander yelled out "The path is clear enough, get inside, it's safer than being out here!"
As the soldiers began their run to the inside of the city, Shinji pulled his veritech into a standing position and transformed into the Guardian mode. He hovered above the soldiers and checked every corner before moving on. The black spot on the left shoulder was easy to see but hadn't done any electrical damage.
"Where are the ground Machines?" "We're right here!" Touji landed his Destroid on the street and looked began to patrol the area in order to find enemy tanks. Glenn landed near the soldiers and stayed there to keep a lookout for them. Kensuke came to begin repairs on Shinji's veritech.
"You took quite a beating." "I got lucky, artillery fire is hard to survive from." "Yeah but just adding a plate of armor will have you right as rain, there isn't any electrical damage so you're safe."
"Good, 'cause we've got problems." Seer called in, followed by Thomas "I confirm, we've got Newtechs coming out of the factory doors, this battle just got hectic!" "Roger that Skimmer, I'm on my way!" "You're cleared Shinji, go get'em"
Kensuke backed off as Shinji moved the veritech through the empty streets in order to reach the location of his other two veritech comrades. The three ground Newtechs watched as their friend moved away on the radar. "Tank, I think we might get some Newtech visitors soon." "Roger that…What was you're call sign?" "Uh…Razor" "Right, Razor, I'll keep an eye out, the soldiers need our protection until they reach their target"
"How are they going to get there?" Kensuke looked down at the soldiers as he asked, he didn't see any transport vehicles near them, all the soldiers were preparing a stronghold with whatever they could find at the moment.
The Ground Force commander then spoke up "I'm sorry, but that artillery fire caught us off guard, we don't have anything to move us, we'll have to walk to the target." "And what exactly is you're target?" Touji, finally coming back from his patrol, stopped his destroid in near the Ground forces.
"We need to capture the Belkan factory that's in this city. To do that, we need to find the control center and take over that to stop the machines from producing any more until the factory itself is secure."
"The Control center might not be in the factory" Kensuke stated after he adjusted his glasses and his helmet. "That's what we thought too, but we can't just go searching around looking for the control center, the soldiers might be too weak to fight after that."
"Any ideas?" Glenn asked hoping for an answer. Kensuke then smirked "I think I have one…"
"Shinji, where are you?" "I'm coming, but I won't risk anymore hits from AA guns by raising my altitude!" "Right, well…hurry it up! I don't think we can keep this up for very long."
Seer and Thomas were each in Battleloid mode and were hiding behind buildings. Past those buildings, the factory with open doors could be seen, and Five destroids stood firing continuous shots without any sign of stopping.
"Captain! These buildings won't be able to last much longer under this type of fire!" "I know, but we can't move until someone shoots those trigger happy Belkans!"
"You rang?"
The five destroids began to turn before shots came from the side destroying 1 and crippling another at the legs. Thomas and Seer saw the signs and began quickly moved out from behind the buildings to start firing on the destroids.
As soon as the 5 smoldering chunks of metal were confirmed, the three veritech pilots came together in order to decide on a new plan. "There's bound to be more enemies inside the factory" "I know that Knight, but we don't have any news on the ground forces, it could be a while before they find the control center and shutdown the production of these machines for a while, they might have unmanned Newtechs in there. If that were it, then we'd would have a number of enemies that would keep getting bigger while we fought"
"And we can't destroy the factory either. It's necessary for us to use this factory for our own war effort." Thomas breathed easy after saying his small part, the next move would be important. Stay outside and risk a difficult capture or a sudden attack by many Newtechs. Or charge in and risk encountering a continually growing amount of enemies with no sign of stopping and the potential damaging of the factory.
"Well, how are the ground forces doing anyhow?" Shinji asked as he began to call up Touji. "Krr…This is Tank…We're putting a plan in action…standby until we find the control center…Krrr…Radio talk is dif-krrr-lt, we'll ca-krrrrrrrrrrrrr" "Damn not this again, another freaking jamming 'session'"
"I feel for you Shinji but we're going to have to trust them, me and Skimmer will set up a barricade, Knight I want you to take a good sniping spot…keep us covered" "Roger that Captain!"
Shinji quickly raised his altitude with a quick boost and landed on the flat roof of a tall building. Shinij could tell that if he was spotted, he would be a clear shot to a small line of fire. Shinji would need to make sure that no enemy's got past the doorway in order to protect himself and his friends.
Shinji switched to sniper mode and aimed his scope at the opening of the factory. Shinji began to tense slightly as he noticed a shadow pass by the entrance, and focused on keeping his eyes open. A robotic leg took a step through the opening of the factory. A destroid with four cannons finally came out, and just as suddenly, it fell down with a ruptured head. -
Ground Forces "All soldiers, move away from the destroids and get behind the buildings!" Touji quickly ran his destroid forward and turned the waist around the corner in order to fire at a group of enemy tanks. "They're everywhere! Sky-Eye, I need that scan!"
"Just a few more seconds Striker-4, we're almost done!" Touji checked his own scanners and noticed that more enemies were moving slowly through the streets between each building. Each enemy was easy to defeat, but protecting the soldiers and moving quickly through the streets to protect them was the difficult part. Even with Glenn as his partner, and Kensuke giving him a good scan of the enemies in the area, it wasn't enough.
"This doesn't look good! We're getting bogged down by the enemy!" "Glenn! Hang tight, just hold'em off a little longer!" Touji was quick to spin his destroid around and open fire down a narrow street, towards a mech of the same build as the destroid. It fell to the ground, and soon exploded on the ground.
"Great…Newtechs…" "What?" Glenn's face was covered in sweat. His helmet was soaking his hair, and now he had more problems and enemies to deal with. "Sky-eye to Tank! Scanning ended, condensed radio activity noticed near the plaza, point AD" "What's the heading?" "Direct heading is 46, due NorthEast" "Roger!"
Ground Forces "Did you hear that?" "Yeah! Get ready to move people, we have a location!" "Jason, move away from there!" Touji could do nothing more than wonder how he could get from the place he was in, to the place where he and the soldiers needed to be. "Ground Force Captain! Give me a status report!" "Our forces have had a minimal amount of casualties, if we make a run for it we can make it" "Roger, all troops prepare to move out!"
"Hacker in position to assist the carrying of troops" "Can you do that Ken?" "Don't worry Tank! There's a transport room for the soldiers on the back, but I'll need you're support" "Razor here, you got it Hacker!" "I'll be able to help too, just get the soldiers inside and get ready to roll the R-Mech out of here"
Kensuke quickly came down from the top of a small building and kneeled his R-Mech down, three doorways came down and extended bridges. "Get in, quick!" The soldiers quickly began to run towards the inside of the machine, some carrying wounded soldiers.
"3 minutes until I'm ready!" "Right! Razor?" "You got it boss!" Touji and Glenn quickly began to run through the streets and took sharp turns using the boosters below the feet part. They continually fired on enemy tanks and destroid units without stop. Touji continued to run through what seemed like a clear street, until a destroid suddenly slid into his sight from his right. The enemy destroid fired, and before Touji could retaliate, his right cannon fell to the ground. Touji quickly fired a few rounds from his left cannon, and included a few missiles. The enemy destroid took the force of each cannon-shot and missile, but continued to stand after the smoke was cleared.
"Damn!"
The enemy destroid raised its cannons to aim straight at Touji's slightly damaged destroid. Touji quickly began to fire again, but then his right leg failed and he fell to the ground. Even though he was down, Touji continued to fire on the enemy destroid. Small explosions, dents and cracks in the armor began to appear one by one with each shot coming from Touji's only working cannon.
The enemy destroid finally fell when an explosion sounded around the chest, where the cockpit was built. The destroid fell forward slowly with staggering steps. Touji breathed deeply and checked his destroid's status.
"Tank are you ok?" "My right leg is shot, and I lost a cannon" "Don't worry Tank, Hacker here, I'm on my way for repairs!" "Forget it, you need to drop off the soldiers, then come and get me, I'll be able to stand up after a while. I still have a cannon to fight back with."
"……All right, but it's gonna be quick!" "Good!"
"Sound's like Touji's out of the action for a while" "We'll need to send some back up with Hacker when he goes to look for Tank." "Yeah I'm for that!" "Ok then, Knight we're almost done with the barricade, I'll send Skimmer on his way. Knight, you're staying with me."
"Why's that?"
Seer viewed the entrance of the factory and got a good look at the six new enemy destroids that lay on the ground. Some with ruptured heads, others with ruptured cockpits. "There's no way I'm letting you go with those sniper skills you have."
Shinji smiled, he continued to point his scopes at the entrance of the factory, but nothing more would come, at least for a while. "Skimmer here, my side of the barricade is done!" "All right, get going to give Ken some cover, and keep low!" "Roger that Captain"
"Knight here, I'm comin' down!" "Shinji quickly got back into his sniper mode, with more confidence since he had cover in case he missed. Seer did the same on the other side of the barricade and both kept their scopes on the entrance to the factory. "Here they come!"
Four destroids then came out from the entrance of the hangar, or at least, they looked like destroids. However these didn't have any cannons for arms, but they packed incredibly large shoulders with lids. "Are those what I think they are?" "I think so Seer."
Then each new destroid opened the lids of their shoulders to show missile pods harboring 20 missile for each shoulder. "Oh Shit! Take cover!"
Seer and Shinji quickly piloted their Veritech's to use their barricades as well as possible. Most missiles hit the barricade while the rest either hit a building or flew right over the barricade and hit the street behind Seer and Shinji.
"Blood! On three! We get up and open fire on the missiles!" "Good plan!" "Ok…1-" "3!" Both Veritechs suddenly appeared from behind the barricade in the perspective of the new destroids.
Captain John Gamilton would need to praise the workers for finishing the Tomahawk destroids, the ISAF/Osean forces were no match for these new weapons.
At least Gambilton thought that, before the Veritechs suddenly came up from behind the barricade and opened fire. Gambilton suddenly began to fire more missiles, but one of the Tomahawks was already falling to the ground, and another had lost a shoulder missile-pod.
"T-Bones 2 and 3, get around the barricade and destroy the Veritech fighters. I'll hold them here for a while." "Roger that T-Bone 1, moving towards the enemy" The two Veritechs were now back behind the barricade, waiting for another chance to fire.
Gambilton shook his head and spoke "Newtech Factory, T-Bone 1, returning to change vehicles." "Roger T-bone 1, what do you want?"
"Get two Toma's and a Big one ready." "Understood!"
-
"It's been a while since they last fired" "Seer, is you're radar working?" "Nah, it's jammed, why?" Slight vibrations were heard and felt from behind the two Veritech pilots. Both in battleloid form, they looked at each other before they looked behind them.
The two tomahawks, one damaged and one unscathed, came out from behind the buildings and stood still as they targeted and opened their missile pods. "Crap FIRE!"
-
"They're late…" Touji said to himself as he righted his destroid up again just so he could stay standing without leaning on a building.
The destroid's right leg was badly damaged, and sparks could be seen coming from the joint. The left cannon was completely separated from the arm and on the arm, it would need to be remade with the dent that could be seen at the end of the cannon.
Even now, Touji could see his radar beginning to spot some more enemies heading straight towards his position. "Great…spotted already…" Touji calmly and carefully turned his destroid around and prepared to fire at the intersection.
Then the destroid with shoulder missile-pods appeared. Touji's destroid also held missiles, but the amount he held was nothing compared to that of the other. Touji could only pray, and pull the trigger.
The first tomahawk went down with no problems, but then two others came. With only one cannon, Touji was forced to use more of his already depleting supply of missiles. Two more went down with that. Touji quickly turned the waist of the destroid around completely and fired on the approaching tanks.
Another quick glance at the radar showed an even larger force of enemies heading towards his position. He then noticed that one was moving faster than the rest, but it was still an enemy. "Oh…no…"
An enemy Veritech soon appeared from above the buildings and transformed into its guardian mode in order to fire on Touji. But the former-jock was one step ahead of the Veritech, he quickly gave a quick boost forward, turning the waist again in order to aim at the Veritech. The half-plane-humanoid hit the ground, but was still able to fight, after it got up. Which gave Touji time to fire on the other enemies that were beginning to get closer.
Once that was done, the Veritech was in Battleloid mode and was running at Touji ready to ram him. Touji did his best to catch the enemy and tried to bring him down. The scene consisted of a damaged destroid pushing a Battloid mode Veritech to the ground, and succeeding.
But it wasn't to last. More enemy destroids were moving through the streets and reaching Touji's position, it wasn't long until he was shot to the ground. Touji was able to survive the blast, and so did his Destroid, but the Veritech could be seen standing up again at one of the intersections between buildings.
The Veritech soon raised its weapon, aiming it straight at Touji, who shut his eyes waiting for what was to come. Before suddenly…
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGHH"
From beside the Veritech, an R-Mechan shoulder rammed it, and pushed it to the side of a building, completely crushing the cockpit and it's pilot. Another sound could soon be heard, that of jet engines and missiles being fired. Thomas and Kensuke were finally there to help Touji out of this situation.
Touji didn't move, he only breathed and calmed the adrenaline going through his body. Kensuke soon reached Touji and began to do repairs before Touji called "Forget it! Let me out and get ready to self-destruct the thing, it's just a machine anyways" "Right! Get out then, I don't know how long Thomas can hold those vultures off!"
Touji quickly opened the cockpit for his destroid and walked out. He was soon picked up by the R-Mechan and carried off towards their next destination, Seer and Shinji.
The two surviving Tomahawk pilots were now dead. Both Seer and Shinji had taken damage from all the missiles, black charred spots could be seen all over their Veritech's bodies. They both fell back into their seats once the battle was over, before they received a transmission on Touji and the rest.
"This is Razor, our forces have taken over the control center. Tank is safe with Hacker and Skimmer, heading to you're location, over."
"Roger that Razor, keep going." "Striker-Lead this is ground captain, I've got some bad news. Not all of the machines were unmanned, there were some pilots and they've taken control of some of the machines."
"Doesn't matter, they'll just go down the same as the rest of the enemies." "One more problem, they were able to complete a big one…I think it's a Goliath."
At that moment, Glenn and Thomas had reached the location of Seer and Shinji. Before they could try to talk to each other, the ground shook incredibly. It continued every now and then, as if this great beast was walking through the streets. Then, a sudden rumble came and toppled Glenn's destroid to the ground.
Thomas immediately helped the destroid back up, while Shinji and Seer turned around and looked towards the entrance of the factory. There stood a gigantic mechanical beast. A large cockpit that held two large legs, two arms with three gigantic cannons on each hand, and four large cannons on the top of the cockpit. The cockpit was large enough to hold more than one person and three unseen missile pods were located at the back of the cockpit.
Alongside it came two incredibly smaller Tomahawk destroids, with these machines in sight, Shinji could only say this
"…damn…"
Not bad for a cliffhanger, even though it took quite a while to make. It's one of my longer ones I have to admit. Hope you all like it. Please review when you can. Thanks!
C ya later
