Unmei Force Shattered Heroes: Creative Power

Chapter 4: Factory Raid


Boki immediately reached the end of the passage, as Heiwa and Popol followed soon after.

"Whew, we finally made it." Boki remarked, looking around, finding themselves inside a massive factory, with walls of gears and electric-powered conveyor belts. "This is the factory we're supposed to destroy, right?"

"That's correct. Shutting it down will be a major victory against the Cybers." Savant responded back. "There are three main generators, destroy all of them and the factory will cease functioning!"

"Yeah, I think that we're going to stop these Cybers from making more robots to invade!" Popol exclaimed back. "After all, we're pretty powerful already!"

The trio then proceeded to hop down the area, and head down towards the bottom of the stage, avoiding the various electric-powered saw-blades that were in their way, collecting power-ups to defeat the enemies, as Heiwa got a mix of Lightning and Bounce to fire bouncing sparks towards the robots nearby, pelting them severely with the attack, before Popol picked up a mix of Plasma, Tornado and Light to fire off prismatic beams of energy towards the enemies around the group, which helped them clear the area.

They then found themselves in an area with many power-boxes and gates that are linked to some of them. After collecting some Lightning, they explored the use of those power-boxes, as striking them with the electricity from the power given to them, allowed them to open the gates ahead, as they maneuvered around the area, before Boki picked up a Supernova power-up, indicated by a large power-up with the nova symbol, as she used it to destroy the remaining enemies in the area with a powerful burst of blue energy, which amazed both Heiwa and Popol.

"Wow… that's so powerful!" Heiwa exclaimed with sparkling excitement in her eyes,.

"It's great, isn't it, meow!" Boki exclaimed with glee.

They soon found one of the power generators in the area, as Popol broke it with a lightning-infused thrust of his spear, as the entire area darkened slightly from the loss of power.

"YOU USELESS GUARDS LET THE ENTANMAS DESTROY A POWER STATION!?" A deep booming voice echoed through the factory. "DO NOT LET THEM ADVANCE ANY FURTHER!"

As the group moved onto the next area, they pondered about the voice.

"So that loud yelling voice is the leader of these Constructs, right?" Boki asked. "Does that mean it's a Cyber?"

"That is indeed their leader, but it's just a high-ranking Construct." Savant explained. "The Cybers are monstrous, but they're still people like you and me. Since they're more than just robots, it's impossible for this program to simulate them."

"Doesn't matter, we're going to bust it into scrap like the rest!" Popol declared with confidence, slamming a fist into his hand as a sign of aggression.

They then proceeded through a winding set of passages, as it involved having to use their Lightning power-ups carefully, using the gates to help cross multiple gaps, and shut down lines of electric saw-blades that were in their path, as they reached the end quickly, using the entire set of power-boxes in the room to decimate the enemies inside through multiple streams of electric currents.

"Believe it or not, junkyards can be popular destinations for Constructs." Savant answered back, as the group were transitioning to the next area. "When they need some hasty repairs, they instinctively scavenge for any usable parts and materials they can find."

"They won't be able to do that once we're done with them!" Heiwa huffed with pride. "We'll take them down hard!"

They soon found themselves in a room filled with compacted metal debris, as they saw that there was a large pool of lava below them, before then noticing the various enemies around them. Boki noticed a Dengrahx, one of the spider-like tanks that they encountered back in the mines, as the three of them assaulted it, before damaging it enough for Boki to hijack it, as they used it to steer clear of the lava and destroy the rest of the enemies with the mechanical vehicle.

They soon found themselves fighting robots that threw gears at them in the following area, as they dropped power-ups that allowed them to do the same, as they used the ricocheting gears to hit the enemies all across the area, as they bypassed another pool of lava, before destroying the last few enemies in the area.

The next area was far more cooler, to the group's liking, as it had a pool of water, as they dived into it to fight the robots inside, which lead them to another power generator, which they destroyed, using Boki's lightning to overload the underwater generator, causing it to explode, as the water was filtered out of the area, and the areas dimmed again.

"IDIOTS! ANOTHER POWER STATION HAS BEEN SABOTAGED!" The same booming voice growled with evident annoyance. "IF OUR PRODUCTION LINES ARE STOPPED, IT WILL JEOPARDISE OUR ENTIRE PLAN! PROTECT THE MAIN REACTOR WITH EVERYTHING YOU HAVE!"

The trio cheered at their progress on the objective, before they were suddenly transferred to the next area, as it was an area made of several conveyor belts, as they were already moving, with a line of sawblades below them. The Yoggval then appeared above them, scanning the area, before its energy trials turned yellow and its eyes blue, as it screeched at the group.

Polymorphic Invader

Yoggval (Factory Mode)

The group noticed that the Yoggval had picked up some new nasty tricks, as its ramming attack created the same nova attack that Boki unleashed before, and it occasionally stopped to place magnet drones around the group, as they each fired twins of red and blue beams of energy aimed at them.

However, the group were deft enough to use the conveyor belts to their advantage, using them to dodge the predictable attacks from both the Yoggval and its drones, as they used the Lightning power-ups it dropped to shock the aerial drone over and over, before it then dropped a Supernova power-up, which Heiwa picked up, as she unleashed a burst of blue flames that melted the Yoggval severely, before it then exploded spectacularly.

The next area was more of a break to the group, as they used the power-kick power-ups in order to kick the penguin drones around, to hit the targets scattered across the area, as Popol managed to hit several of them with a single kick towards one of the penguin spheres, as it impressed both Boki and Heiwa.

Their next area took them into a area where they had to circumvent through several barriers created by invincible cube-like drones, as they destroyed the enemies using the various powers acquired from the defeated enemies, as Popol used a mix of Remote, Force and Lightning, in order to create several floating ice-shards that honed towards the nearby enemies, and exploded into burst of lightning that also created a pattern of electric lines that seared into the enemies that made contact with it.

They then entered a snaking tunnel through the factory, as they fought more robots, fighting more of the bi-pedal robots they encountered back in the chemical factory, and destroying generators that powered the gates ahead, as they destroyed the enemies in the area.

Eventually, they made it to the reactor core, as the group saw that it was surrounded by many enemies, with a frame that protected any attempts inside.

"Finally, we made it to the reactor core!" Boki exclaimed with joy. "I have to trick its defence systems so it shoot lasers at itself, right?"

"No, you just have to defeat all of the energy sources, clearly marked as usual." Savant answered back. "I honestly have no idea where you pick these things up sometimes."

"Well, at least it's straightforward." Popol shrugged, as the group made their way towards the core, destroying the enemies defending it.

They used the power-boxes nearby to zap the enemies around the area, as well as to open the gates that allowed them to engage the enemies blocking their way, as they managed to cut their way into the reactor core, as Boki used a Supernova blast to destroy the cores altogether.

The entire area began to dim and power down, before it then suddenly powered back up, much to the surprise of the group.

"H-hey, why'd the lights turn back on? Wasn't that the last one?" Boki remarked.

"I don't think that it was that easy…" Heiwa frowned back.

"They must have deployed a back-up power source." Savant explained. "It can't be too far away. Hurry and destroy it!"

The trio were then transported into another area, with many power-boxes, and gates linked to most of them, as they noticed that there was a combination robot, which combined most of the electrical enemies that they have encountered in their battle through the factory, as well as multiple power generators, as it created a massive robot that looked like a robotic jelly-fish with wire tentacles that sparked at the ends, a purple chassis with red eyes around it, as well as a crown of electrical rods that sparked with electricity.

Death by Electricity

Dynamo Krijyl

The group moved back, as the machine began to fire off large balls of dangerous electricity, as they triggered the power-boxes, causing gates to close and open, and then throwing down a rain of lightning that hit the area around them, as it moved around the area.

"We can use those gates to help create platforms for us to stand upon!" Popol suggested, as the group took the Lightning power-ups from destroying the drones that the bigger machine dropped, as they jumped through one of the open gates, before then firing lightning to hit the power-box and close it, as they launched a three-pronged assault of the machine, dodging its electric orbs, and the rain of lightning.

As it took damage, it then dropped a large power-up in the form of a massive ray, as Heiwa picked it up, as the tip of her brush turned glowing yellow. She then concentrated her power, before creating a rain of thunder of her own, as they all hit the large machine, causing it to overload and explode with a loud bang, as the entire area powered down around them.

"Yeah! Take that, Constructs!" Popol hooted at no-one in particular, as Heiwa and Boki exchanged high-fives.

However, their celebration was short-lived, as a blast of energy that alternated between blue, green and red colours broke the gate ahead, as they barely had time to process a shadowy shape in the darkness of the corridor, as it was covered with lights that flashed the same colour.

"What is that-" Boki was about to say, before the being charged up energy, with a ominous whine, as the group braced themselves, as the being fired off a massive beam of energy that engulfed the group, scorching them severely, as they all fell unconscious except for Popol, who were barely clinging on, as, their bodies smoking from the exposure to the energy beam.

"USELESS MINIONS MUST I DO EVERYTHING BY MYSELF!?" The being growled with the same voice the group were hearing through the factory. "THESE ENTANMAS HAVE DAMAGED OUR FACILITY BEYOND REPAIR. ABANDON THIS PLACE AND CONTAIN THEM IMMEDIATELY!"

Popol barely could make out the figure ahead, as it was a bipedal robot, before many lesser robots and drones surrounded the group, as Popol expended the last of his energy to try and raise his spear in a vain attempt to resist, before he too fell unconscious.
