Unmei Force Shattered Heroes: Creative Power
Chapter 9: Battle for the Metropolis
"ATTENTION ALL GROUND TROOPS!" The leader of the Constructs barked at the other robots. "THOSE ACCURSED ENTANMAS HAVE DESTROYED OUR TACTICAL SATELLITE! DO NOT ATTEMPT CAPTURE. ELIMINATE THEM ON SIGHT!"
Several of the robots in the area began to notice something rapidly descending towards them, as they looked up to see a fiery ball of fire, where the three heroes were encased within, hurtling down towards them, as the impact of the fall literally annihilated everything within tens of feet from the landing site, which had turned into a fairly large crater as a result of the explosion, as none of the nearby robots survived the blast.
"We made it safely!" Heiwa exclaimed, before looking around, seeing the large city around them, filled with various buildings, which were crawling with robots from the Construct army. The group cleared the rest of the enemies from the area, while Boki used a Virs in order to destroy the nearby Dengraphx, the treaded tank.
"You made quite the entrance back there, you three." Savant told the group. "The satellite has been destroyed, but now the ground troops have arrived!"
"That's not going to stop us!" Popol exclaimed. "The only thing that can threaten us now is whatever 'secret weapon' they pulled out for us!"
The group encountered a new form of vehicle in the next area, which was in the form of angry purple saucers with razor blades across their bodies, and exhaust pipes on the back, piloted by the bipedal robots they've seen in several zones with different forms. The group immediately destroyed the piloting robots, before hijacking the saucer robots for their own use, as they use the saw-blades to slice through the enemies, and the on-board laser beams to burn away at the enemies below.
The next area was fairly larger, as they hopped across the nearby platforms,taking care of the enemies on all parts of the area, as Boki hijacked a saucer robot to fly across the area, while Popol was using a mix of Explode and Force to fire off spear missiles that honed on the remaining enemies in the area.
As they moved into the next area in an apartment complex, they noticed that there were several mass-produced versions of the Magna Exchikkes that fought at the end of the first zone, as they dropped the same kind of power-up that gave them the homing attack Boki performed against it the first time they fought it, as they made use of the power-up in order to close the distance between them and several enemy groups, unleashing destruction across the area. ]
The group then moved to the garage, where they hijacked a Dengrahx for themselves, as Heiwa and Popol rode on it, while Boki controlled it, as they used it to get of the mass of enemies that was swarming inside the area, before exiting the building outside, where they found themselves in a small area, filled with hibernating Virs, which were also invincible with the metallic glow on them.
"This section of town has already fallen, so the attacking forces are in standby mode. The Virs won't attack unless damaged." Savant warned the group. "Take out the smaller surveillance Constructs without drawing too much attention to yourselves."
"Well, it's time for the return of Super Spy Boki and co. !" Boki cheerfully declared, as she moved ahead of the group, slinking past the stationary Virs all around the area, and carefully sniping out the smaller robots which were attacking her in return.
Popol silently stepped across the field, assassinating robots with a powerful thrust, and Heiwa using her fire magic to burn the drones quickly and silently as well. The stealth mission went well, as the group managed to make their way through the area without disturbing a single Virs.
The group then moved to the next area, as they ascended a broken skyscraper, which was being barred with several targets linking to gates blocking their way up, destroying the Virs on top of it quickly, before moving on.
They found themselves surrounded by a mess of penguin-balls, as they used them to get rid of the other enemies around the area, by kicking them into the nearby robots, before they destroyed them, and a very large penguin-ball that threatened to squish them under its weight.
The next area gave them a Virs, a Dengrahx and a saucer robot, to which were given to Boki, Popol and Heiwa, as they used the vehicles to take care of the enemies around them, as energy bursts, fire and laser beams were thrown everywhere across the entire area thanks to the trio's destructive rampage through the area in their vehicles.
"Energy signatures are increasing near the center of the city." Savant informed the group. "That must be where the invading forces are most active."
"They won't be 'invading' long after we get to them and wipe every single one of the Constructs out!" Popol declared. "They won't get to enjoy trampling through this city and its people much longer!"
"Because they'll be too busy fighting all of us… and losing!" Boki boasted.
"You know, you really are starting to think like a hero, Boki. I suppose that it's because of the influence from both Popol and Heiwa. Still, I'm proud of you." Savant responded back.
"W-Whatever, meow…" Boki muttered under her breath, slightly embarrassed at the praise from her foster uncle.
The group then made their way through a area filled with energy generators to supply the invading forces, as they were guarded by a large variety of enemies, some of them being saucer robots that were piloted by the enemies, as the group destroyed the enemies, with Boki using a mix of Plasma and Quick to fire rapid burst of pink crystals that tore through the robots quickly and efficiently.
The next area was a literal warzone, as they were surrounded from all sides by enemies. They fought their way out of the encirclement, as Heiwa seized a Supernova power-up, charging it up near a group of enemies, before she then unleashed it, as it cleared a large amount of enemies from the area, while Popol used the homing power-up dropped from one of the destroyed Magna Exchikkes to hurl himself across the area with ramming speed, crushing enemies all over with his spear strikes. Boki seized use of a Virs, as she used it to unleash hell on the enemies, even crushing a group of armoured Exchikkes and a mass-produced Exchikkalibur with the swipe of the Virs's claw.
"ATTENTION ALL GROUND FORCES!" The leader of the Constructs declared. "CEASE ALL CURRENT OPERATIONS AND RETREAT AT ONCE! ACTIVATE THE WEAPON!"
"Well, looks like we're going to get to see what the weapon is, huh." Popol remarked, not the slightest bit nervous about the situation.
"You seem… fairly calm about this." Boki told Popol.
"I don't think it could be worse than anything we've fought on the way here." Popol shrugged.
The trio made their way to an open area, as they looked around for the enemy super-weapon, before they found it, as it was a literal castle turned into a golem much like the Virs, as it had gates on its feet, red banners hanging from the windows of the towers, as well as having a red mark on its face, before it was covered by metal bars for protection, wielding a large lance in one hand and a large launcher cannon in the other.
"Woah, that's really is a superweapon!" Boki exclaimed. "It's a really, really big robot!"
"Don't worry, I bet that it's not invincible as those robots back in the castle said!" Popol stated. "I bet it's most vulnerable in that face of theirs!"
Assaulting Fortress
Fortress Virs
The group immediately began to attack the giant machine, as their attacks were dealing no damage at all to the giant machine, as it stomped a foot that caused shockwaves to rise, which the group avoided by jumping over them. It then summoned reinforcements from the gates on its feet, sending a slew of enemies towards the group, as they destroyed them to acquire some power-ups to give them some fire-power to deal with the large machine.
The giant golem then fired several cannon shots at the group, as the fiery penguin-balls hit the ground and exploded hard, while the group weaved between the explosions, before they moved back to avoid getting hit by the swinging lance. The group quickly climbed onto the lance, as it raised it, before the group shot the golem's face with their powers, as it managed to destroy the bars momentarily.
However, as they did, the machine then immediately began to charge energy from its face, as the group quickly moved back to avoid the attack, firing off a large energy blast that skimmed across the air, and grazed by the group, who were on the lance's tip, which was low enough to avoid the blast.
The large golem then began to raise its cannon, firing attacks on its own lance in an attempt to get the trio off its lance, as the group dodged across the lance, continuing their attack on the face of the golem, as it began to show signs of damage, before the metal bars fell to protect it again.
The group quickly hopped down to let the golem spawn more robots to destroy for power-ups, while evading its other attacks, before waiting for the golem to slam its lance down and get the group up to attack the face again, as they did so quickly, damaging it enough to cause the face to explode, leaving a massive hole that the group jumped right into.
Inside was a circular chamber, as the control crystal was in the center of it, glowing red. It then immediately began to fire lasers across the room, as the group dodged it, firing on it as they did so. The crystal occasionally spawned laser drones to counter the group's attacks. The group continued to dodge the sweeping lasers, as well as those from the drones, before they managed to destroy the control crystal, as the entire chamber powered down with the golem itself.
Boki then jumped where the control crystal previously occupied, before she then let out a burst of yellow energy that consumed her, as Heiwa and Popol were blasted out of the chamber, through the golem itself, as they were dropped on the shoulder towers of the golem, as the red color of the golem turned yellow, and the banners had a symbol of Boki's face on it.
"Wow, this is awesome!" Boki exclaimed, as her voice was echoing from the speakers of the machine. "I even get to pilot this awesome thing for myself!"
"No fair… I want to have fun with it too." Heiwa pouted, before she then sighed and smiled. "But I guess it's fun to get to ride on it regardless."
The group watched as Boki piloted the machine forward, as an army of robots stood before them. Boki then used the golem to its fullest potential, as she was using the launcher cannon to fire blasts down at the army, as well as using the lance to swat any aerial enemies in front of it, and even firing energy blasts from its eyes that disintegrated anything in its path. Not even prior foes that the group fought, which were in the army, stood any chance against the massive machine that the group were piloting.
However, there was another machine that teleported right before them, as it matched the golem in size, as it seemed to be a larger version of the Dengrahx, except it had a dodecahedron body with eyes everywhere and a orange veiny paint to it, a large eye on top of it that was covered by large pylons that created a spark of energy above it, as well as its chain mauler having smaller version inside of it.
"What, they have another!? Doesn't matter, mine's going to be the better one!" Boki exclaimed.
Army Crusher
Giga Dengrahx
The large enemy machine then summoned a shield around it, as Boki wailed on the shield with both lance and cannon, destroying it, before she then used the lance to counter its attempt to bite the golem with its chain mauler, while Heiwa and Popol used their powers to take down any incoming missiles that fired from the enemy machine itself. Boki then charged the golem's face, before launching a powerful blast that struck the large machine, damaging it severely.
The large machine then fired a large laser from its pylons, as Boki made the golem duck to avoid getting hit by the beam, before Boki then jumped into the air, and slammed the golem right into the machine, damaging it even further, and breaking the shield it just regenerated. Boki then jumped back, before she then raised the lance, as it was enveloped by lightning, before she then smashed it down on the enemy machine, as it exploded into multiple pieces of large debris that clattered across the empty ground.
"Whew… I guess the city's safe now?" Boki remarked, as the golem powered down.
"Indeed. All the Constructs here have been completely eradicated, courtesy of their own 'secret weapon'." Savant agreed.
"Guess it's ironic when their own super-weapon was turned against them." Heiwa chuckled lightly. "But it was only possible because of you, Boki."
"Meow, something's bothering me about that, though…" Boki stated with a worried tone. "If this Virs was their secret weapon, then where the heck did that giant Dengrahx come from?"
"When you took over the Fortress Virs, the enemy forces panicked. They sent in backup directly from their base." Savant explained.
"So if that Dengrahx came from the base we're looking for… now's my chance, right?" Boki asked back. "It's just a wreck now, but I bet I can still copy that thing's teleporting powers and warp right to the place it came from!"
"An excellent idea! It's certainly worth a try." Savant agreed.
Boki then quickly absorbed the necessary powers, as she used it to get to Popol and Heiwa, before the three of them were teleported out of the city.
