Chapter 8 is up and running folks! READ IT!
Well folks, this is the chapter you have all been waiting for. Enjoy it, because I will be taking break from this story to work on my other fanfic. I don't know how long it will take so I implore you all to be patient.
Review Time!
Sullimike23: Exactly. I really wanted to capture true terror with the Ultrabots.
Noob6: The Ultrabots will keep their original appearances.
Red John: Thank you very much. You know, I was almost tempted to completely omit the Path of Peace and The Lord out of the story but I couldn't since they were just too important in the original Akame ga Kill storyline. There was no way I could just write them off.
Pyromania101: I know, it sucked too but I did make that particular scene somewhat better, didn't I? Good job on pointing out the Ultrabots true objective, I wanted to do something a tiny bit different for them and Happy 2017!
Drew Luczynski: I know how you feel. I thought for sure Leone was going to survive! But at least Mine and Tatsumi got their happy ending and Honest got carved up like a holiday ham. That sumbitch had it coming.
Guest #1: I like the G1 soundwave voice as well as the voice but I have to disagree with the Doom Demon voice. I want the Ultrabots to sound robotic rather than demonic. I won't spoil anything about Exdor but I love your idea of Jack and his allies uniting against Aku. That would have made a fantastic series finale.
TheGreatMarquis: I really wanted to recreate the feeling of the original episode and im glad that I was able to capture that. I'm also happy that the Ultrabots were your favorite villains! It's good to know I was able to spike your interest!
colossalblackening: I wanted to make the Ultrabots have a bigger objective rather than just aimlessly killing everything they see and Im afraid I can't reveal anything about the Jaegers yet. Also, thank you for the advice! It will help me a lot when im working on my other story. I'm very sorry I couldn't get this released for your birthday. I'm a slow updater and I have been busy recently.
NRG: Huh…I almost forgot about that part! Thank you for reminding me, I'll have to read the manga several more times again.
Edgy birdy: Thank you very much, your comment means a lot to me!
1. I will be adding in some characters and villains from the show but I will not add Jack himself.
2. I am using the canon pairings for this fic which are Tatsumi x Mine, Wave x Kurome, Lubbock x Najenda and you can also expect a Leone x Run somewhere down the line.
Junior VB: Obviously!
Wayward Son: I figured it was time to try something new and don't worry; Exdor and the Ultrabots will keep their original looks.
Dark Avenger: Very interesting choices! I'll give them a listen and see if any of them tickle my fancy. Champ probably kept his Teigu in whatever crusty, unsanitary pocket on his person. Also keep in mind that he's a pedo. None of us what to know what he's even done with those hands.
Guest #2: I wouldn't say that…..
Akame ga Kill and Samurai Jack belong to their respective owners. I do not own either of them.
Chapter 8
Path of Ruin
"For by now I could have stretched out my hand and struck you and your people with a plague that would have wiped you off the earth."
-Exodus 9:15
KYOROCH-6 DAYS LATER
Night Raid headed directly east to the city of Kyoroch as fast as their horses could go. There was very little time to stop and rest the horses, including themselves. They had to get to the city before it was too late. Along the way, they began to see evidence of the unknown group's warpath: destroyed villages with no survivors and the bodies of Danger Beasts that foolishly tried to attack the assailants. Not to mention that they also saw the odd grooves in the earth: the same, currently unidentified means of transportation this group was using. They all knew that it wasn't a carriage, that would require multiple horses and they saw no hoof prints. How the hell were they getting around so fast?
As they continued on their path they could see smoke trails far away in the distance, a clear sign that they were already too late to prevent another massacre. The weather was already starting to heat up as they headed east so team removed their winter gear so that they wouldn't be drowning in their own sweat. They rode for 3 days straight while listening to the sounds of muffled explosions in the distance. On the 3rd day, they were already showing signs of fatigue and they had no other choice but to stop and rest the horses and themselves. This only added more frustration to the group as they were, once again, unable to do anything to stop this madness. As they rested for the night they could hear the explosions die down. Night Raid was running out of time.
After 3 more days they finally arrived at Kyoroch…or what was left of it.
From on top of the rocky plateau they were all standing on, they could see the utterly demolished ruins of the once prosperous city. Entire blocks reduced to rubble, bodies littering the streets and pillars of smoke partially blotting out the sun. It was just like the Capital and the northern fortress: death and destruction at its worst.
"This can't be happening…" Chelsea breathed as her lollipop fell out of her mouth.
"Damn it! Can't we ever get a goddamn break!?" Lubbock exasperated.
"If we stop these madmen and make it out of this, then I will consider that a break." Akame said, surveying the remains of the city.
"They've probably already moved on at this point. I don't think we will be able to stop them from wiping out the Revolutionary Army." Bulat stated as he began to fear the worst. The team's morale plummeted. Were their efforts all for nothing?
"I wouldn't say that just yet." Susanoo interjected. The humanoid Teigu was scouring the area with a pair of binoculars. "I don't see any tracks leaving the city anywhere. There's a very high chance that they might still be in Kyoroch."
"Then this is the perfect opportunity to waste these psychos once and for all." Najenda said as she tightened her grip on the horse's reigns.
"Wait a minute; we're just going to waltz right down there? This whole thing looks like one big trap!" Mine protested.
"I gotta agree with Mine. We don't know what these guys are capable of and we can't just barge in there without a plan." Leone advised.
"You're right. We'll-"
"Split up and find clues?" Everyone said in unison before Najenda could finish. Their leader threw them an agitated look but started to realize that she was using this plan multiple times already.
"I can't be mad at you guys right now." She sighed.
KYOROCH-PATH OF PEACE CATHEDRAL
(Resident Evil 2 Soundtrack-Police Station Lobby)
Night Raid's plan of attack was to covertly infiltrate the city from the east and west sides. Team 1 consisted of Najenda, Bulat, Susanoo, Akame, Mine and Sheele while Team 2 was made up of Tatsumi, Leone, Lubbock and Chelsea. Team 2 was tasked with searching the city for the hostile group and any survivors while Team 1's objective was to ascertain if The Lord and the rest of the Path of Peace were still alive.
As Team 1 made their way to Kyoroch main cathedral, they saw evidence of the Path of Peace mounting as assault against their attackers. It did not end well at all. The maimed bodies of the soldiers who guarded this once prosperous city littered the surrounding church. Numerous makeshift defenses surrounding the building were effortlessly decimated. They slowly walked up the steps to the massive set of doors that led inside the path's HQ. Team 1 opened the double doors and was treated with a gut wrenching sight.
A place that was once used for worship, hope and prayer was transformed into a slaughterhouse. Corpses were strewn all across the room, pews were reduced to splinters and the altar had been knocked over and crushed. The team walked through the bloodstained halls until they finally came upon The Lord's massive throne room. A battle had obviously taken place here; several walls were smashed in, tiles had been uprooted and the imposing statue that stood over in the back of the room had been blown to pieces. Oddly though, there appeared to be several broken nails scattering the floor.
Their main focus however, was on the 4 bodies that were in the room. One of the bodies belonged to a middle aged man wearing red and white robes and had a large beard. He had been vertically sliced in half with most of his blood pooling around him. A rather large hat bearing the symbol of the Path of Peace lay near his corpse.
Akame and Sheele walked over to the body. "Do you think this was The Lord?" Sheele asked.
"Maybe. But something about this man doesn't feel right…" Akame observed. He didn't really look like the leader of a religion. He looked more like the guy you would find at a really seedy bar. He had to have been some kind of assistant or a vizier of some sort.
Najenda, Mine, Bulat and Susanoo were currently looking over the other 3 bodies in the room. One noticeable feature was that they were all wearing clothing that resembled traditional garb worn by the Kouken Temple martial arts school.
The 1st body was a gaunt looking man with purple hair, dark eyes and bizarre stitches that went from his eyes down to his chest. He apparently had every single bone in his body broken, as multiple bones were jutting up from his skin and his head had been twisted completely backwards.
The 2nd body was that of a tanned girl with light yellow hair. Her tendons had been cleanly severed and the top of her skull was heavily caved in.
The last body belonged to an extremely muscled, giant of a man with a big bushy beard and black hair sticking out of the sides of his head, along with braided hair that ran down the length of his back. His eyes had been ripped out of their sockets and had multiple baseball-sized holes all over his chest.
"What do you think? Bodyguards?" Mine asked Najenda.
"Probably. But why would people from the Kouken Temple be here of all places? They certainly aren't the type that The Lord would hire for protection." Najenda pondered.
"Maybe The Lord didn't hire them. Perhaps someone else did." Bulat guessed. Susanoo looked over the bodies and began to realize something about them.
"I have heard rumors that practitioners of Imperial Fist who can reach the 10th skill level of the martial art have the ability to stretch their limbs and elongate their fingernails to combat their opponents. Their skin seems to have some form of elasticity to them and there are chipped fingernails around here that are noticeably longer than average. There is no doubt that they were 3 of The 4 Rakshasa Demons." Susanoo revealed.
"The Rakshasa Demons!? They're kung-fu legends! I heard they could take down a Teigu user single handedly!" Mine gasped in amazement.
"So where's the 4th?" Bulat pointed out.
"Might have fled for all we know. But after seeing how this group obliterates everything in their path, I doubt he or she could've escaped with all their limbs intact." Najenda said. Sheele and Akame joined up with the rest of the group after they were done with their own investigation.
"We've checked over the other body and we can confirm that it's not The Lord. He must have most likely been an advisor." Akame reported. Najenda looked at the body of the man and then at the Rakshasa Demons. Were they working for him? Was there some kind of coup d'état in progress before the unknown group attacked? Could this man have been some kind of double agent for the Empire?
"Has anybody noticed how quiet it is?" Sheele asked aloud, snapping Najenda out of her thoughts. She was right. The entire city was as quiet as a graveyard.
"Mine, get up to the top of the church and scope out the city. Let us know if you can find anything. The rest of us will stay down here and see if we can find anything else." Najenda ordered.
"On it." Mine said diligently as she headed outside.
KYOROCH-SHOPPING DISTRICT
Tatsumi headed for the the city's shopping center in the northwestern part of Kyoroch. His group decided to split up and search the city while also keeping a lookout for anything out of the ordinary or if they found the perpetrators behind all of the chaos these past few days. So far, he turned up with nothing. This was beginning to frustrate Tatsumi to no end. He walked into the shopping center and stopped at the entrance. Everything was on fire with more dead bodies littering the ground. Worst of all, he could see the bodies of children as well. He sunk to his knees and gritted his teeth as hard as he could. 'When? When is this carnage going to end?!' he thought.
Tatsumi suddenly felt a large hand grip his shoulder. He quickly unsheathed his sword, spun around and swung his sword at the neck of his attacker…only to suddenly stop when he saw that it was Leone!
"Little quick to the trigger there, eh?" Leone said shakily as she pointed to the blade that was just mere inches away from her jugular.
"Sorry! I'm just a little bit on edge." Tatsumi apologized as he put his sword away.
"No problem. It's the same thing for me too." Leone said as she patted his back with her big, furry hand.
They both heard footsteps approaching and turned around to see Lubbock and Chelsea with looks of disappointment on their faces.
"You two find anything?" Leone asked.
"We got jack diddly squat. It's the same thing everywhere you see." Lubbock reported, gesturing to the desolation around him.
"We've searched half of this this whole city. It's just another mass graveyard." Chelsea grimly affirmed.
"Damn it…" Tatsumi cursed.
"The sooner we kill these lunatics, the better. Let's head back to the others." Leone advised, thumbing over to the decorative cathedral in the distance.
KYOROCH-SEVERAL MINUETS LATER
"What do you guys think this group will gain by doing all of this?" Tatsumi wondered.
"Money, women, power, their own country, who knows?" Lubbock responded as he and rest of his friends continued walking.
"It pretty much depends on who hired them. Once we take care of them, we find out who ordered them to do this and make them pay." Chelsea said sternly.
"Ya got that damn well right. There's no way in hell I'm going to let these bastards get away with this. They need to face retribution for every life they took." Leone stated.
Tatsumi smiled. "It's good to know that all of you are fighting to help people."
"We may be assassins, but that doesn't mean we're heartless. We kill so that we can make sure that nobody has to suffer under the rule of the Empire…a bit of a moot point seeing as how there isn't an Empire anymore." Chelsea explained.
"Speaking of which, how did you guys get into this line of work? I know about the other's motives for joining the revolution but I haven't heard your reasons from you guys yet." Tatsumi asked. Leone, Lubbock and Chelsea stopped walking and began to think. No one had asked them that question before and this was a first for all 3 of them. "Hmmmmm….." Leone hummed while tapping her chin. "Where do we begin?"
"I'll go first!" Lubbock said, springing into action.
"Great…." Leone sighed while rolling her eyes.
"I was the 4th son of a big time merchant. I was never deprived of objects since I was a kid. I could do anything skillfully and I was bored of the world." Lubbock proudly bragged.
"Wow. You piss me off already." Tatsumi deadpanned.
"What else is new?" Chelsea added.
"I'M GETTING TO THE IMPORTANT PART, OKAY!? Anyway, during that time, Najenda moved to the region where I lived. It was love at first sight." He continued, ignoring the gagging sounds Leone was making. "So I volunteered as a soldier and using my own skillfulness I climbed to a position where I could serve at her side. When we escaped from the Empire, I wrote us both as dead to throw off our pursuers. Pretty gallant, huh?"
"Oh! So the reason why you joined is because you're in love with her!" Tatsumi deduced.
"Bingo~." Lubbock grinned as he flipped his hair back.
"Yet after all this time, you still haven't been rewarded yet. Must be pretty sad for you." Chelsea teased.
"I wouldn't say that just yet." Lubbock said, remembering his little moment with Najenda back at the northern fortress.
"You know, if you really love her that much then maybe you shouldn't peep on girls while they bathe." Tatsumi suggested.
Lubbock's eyes nearly popped out of his skull. "What!? Hold on a sec, there's a huge difference between having a girl you like and wanting to watch a cute girl!" He protested.
"And it's because of your way of thinking that you always get into trouble." Leone pointed out.
"Yeah? Well just you watch, I'll make her fall for me someday!" He argued.
"If that ever happens we'll treat you to anything you like. " Leone betted while rolling her eyes.
"I guess I'm up next." Chelsea cut in. "I worked under a horribly cruel viceroy who took great pleasure in hunting people. He got bored of hunting animals and Danger Beasts so he turned his sights on humans instead. As I lived under his abuse and oppression, I began to develop of nihilistic view on life…I pretty much just gave up on all hope."
Tatsumi stared at her in saddened mortification with his mouth slightly hanging open. Lubbock and Leone stayed quiet, having heard her story before.
"But all of that changed when I found Gaea Foundation while I was cleaning his storeroom. Apparently it didn't activate for him and he deemed it useless. You could imagine my surprise when it activated for me. After secretly using it several times and realizing its potential, I assassinated the viceroy when he least expected it. It felt good to be finally rid of that monster but I knew that he would be replaced by someone just as repugnant as him. But I had been wrong. He was replaced by a kind hearted man who was smart, caring and lived to help others. It was at that point that I realized that I could use my Teigu to change things for the better." Chelsea reminisced as she thought back on the latter part of her story.
Tatsumi felt a wave of relief of delight after hearing that. It was so surprising and comforting to know that most of the team had the same convictions as him: fighting to help people.
"Several weeks after that, I joined the Revolutionary Army. A year later, I joined up with these goofballs!" Chelsea grinned as she motioned towards Lubbock and Leone who were smiling broadly.
"Stop it, you're making us blush!" Leone giggled.
"That just leaves you then." Tatsumi said as he looked at her.
"Already? Well let's see….I beat up a bunch of asshats I didn't like and then I got scouted." Leone answered, albeit very quickly and simply.
"…..That's it?" Tatsumi asked, confused at how short her backstory was.
"Nah! I'm just pulling your chain. Here's how it really went down: It all started when I saw some aristocrats playing a game in the slums, my neighborhood. But this game consisted of trampling innocent kids with their horses. That royally pissed me off so I broke their necks like twigs. I was learning how to use Lionelle at that time after I got it from a black market vendor." She told him.
"Hold on. You just simply bought that!? But it's a Teigu! How did you manage to purchase it?" Tatsumi asked as he pointed to Lionelle.
"Well….I kinda haggled it off him and get this: we both thought it was a plain old belt! I just put it on one day and it activated! One hell of a great find, huh? Anyway, I found out that I took a huge liking to making sick bastards like them pay so I joined the Revolutionary Army. My goal was to make the Prime Minister suffer for all of the pain he caused the people! Unfortunately I won't be able to do the latter, no thanks to the jagoffs who keep destroying everything they see." Leone continued.
"I see…thanks for telling me you guys. It's good to know about my friends a little bit more." Tatsumi complimented.
"Awwwww! You're welcome my little Tatsumi!" Leone squealed joyfully as she tightly hugged him. The poor teen's head was buried in her cleavage and was finding it really hard to breathe.
"Mind of I cut in too?" Chelsea laughed as she hugged Tatsumi from behind.
Tatsumi turned as red as a tomato. He never thought this sort of thing would ever happen to him in his lifetime. He was starting to get extremely bashful and dizzy. For some reason, he didn't notice Lubbock staring at him venomously.
His right eye was twitching and several veins popped up on his head. 'Damn you Tatsumi! Why can't it be me?! Lubbock mentally shrilled in fury. He remembered their mission and cleared his throat, getting the trio's attention. "I hate to interrupt your group hug session but we got to join back up with the rest of the team, remember?"
"Oh, right." Leone realized as she let go of Tatsumi. The boy began gasping for air since it felt like forever since he was trapped in Leone's "Heavenly Valley". The four of them walked to the Path of Peace cathedral thought the alleyways until they entered the streets of Kyoroch. They briskly continued their path until Tatsumi spotted something out of the corner of his eye and stopped.
"What's up?" Chelsea asked as she and the others noticed him stopping. He simply pointed up ahead the street. There, sitting a few feet away from the group were 19 baskets sitting in a semicircle formation in the middle of the street.
"So? They're just regular old baskets." Leone said.
"Yeah but…don't they seem out of place?" Tatsumi stated as he, Lubbock and Chelsea walked over to them. He lightly tapped one with her foot. They seemed pretty heavy. Chelsea knelt down and ran her hand down the basket, feeling the woven patterns glide across her palm.
"Wow...this is some really good material these things are made of!" Chelsea expressed.
Lubbock was trying to open one of the baskets but to no avail. It wouldn't budge at all. "Can't seem to get this open for some reason. I think its glued shut." Lubbock grunted.
Leone narrowed her eyes at the baskets. Something didn't feel right. Tatsumi was right about them being out of place: there wasn't a scratch on them. Since she was still in her Lionelle form, she decided to sniff the air to see if there were any identifiable scents on the baskets-
Her eyes went wide and her hair stood straight on end. A feeling of dread ran up her spine. A million danger alarms rang throughout her skull. The baskets reeked of death. Lots and lots and lots of death.
"GUYS! GET AWAY FROM THOSE NOW!" Leone barked.
Lubbock stopped trying to get one of the baskets open. "Why? What's-"
The basket that Lubbock was attempting to open suddenly shot up in front of him…
And Lubbock found himself staring up into the eyes of Hell incarnate.
"GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"
PATH OF PEACE CATHEDRAL-SEVERAL SECONDS EARLIER
After they were done thoroughly investigating every inch of the interior, the rest of Night Raid exited the cathedral and were greeted by Mine leaning up against a pillar.
"Anything?" Najenda inquired.
"I scoured the whole city and I can say that we're the only ones here. There's nobody left."
Najenda ran her fingers through her hair in frustration. She was afraid of that. "Alright, let's go meet up with the others and-"
"GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"
Night Raid instantly swiveled their heads over to the right, at the source of the scream.
"That was Lubbock!" Bulat identified.
"Move!" Najenda yelled as she and the rest of the team sprinted over to where they heard the scream. They ran through the city as fast as they could, hoping that they weren't too late to save their own. If that scream meant anything, then Team 2 had found the group responsible for 13 days of death and destruction all across the Empire.
They ran through the alleyway as a short cut until they noticed something coming into their view at the far end of the alley. They saw Tatsumi, Chelsea and Leone backing up with their weapons/Teigus drawn while they witnessed Lubbock, flat on his ass, scramble away from whatever was in front of them. One thing that they all noticed was the looks of pure fear on Team 2's faces. They finally exited the alleyway ran went up to their friends.
"Guys, are you okay?! What's going…" Najenda trailed off as she and the rest of Night Raid turned to what they were looking at.
They all gasped in horror.
(Devil May Cry 3-Vergil Afterwards)
Night Raid couldn't even begin to describe what they were seeing.
Standing before them were 19…creatures.
They looked vaguely human shaped with bits and pieces of woven material covering a majority of their bodies but they looked too gangly and metallic. They were all carrying various, deadly looking weaponry with some of them seemingly attached to their limbs. Each one of them were 7ft tall and stood as still as statues, making them appear even more creepy and unnerving.
They all wore identical wide brimmed, straw caps that listed them as numbers 1 through 19 but the one disturbing detail that Night Raid took into account was their faces. They had no ears, no nose, no hair and no mouth. Just pupiless, blood red orbs that made them look like something straight out of the depths of Hades.
There was nothing human about these things.
Then one of them spoke.
It spoke in a deep, garbled, monotone voice that was utterly devoid of any emotion.
"WELCOME…TO YOUR DOOM."
To be continued…
After many months of waiting, we finally get to see the Ultrabots in all of their robotic glory! Will Night Raid manage to turn the tables or are they in over their heads?
It has been a long time coming folks and I want to thank each and every one of you for your support. I don't think I could've have gotten this far without you guys. It really means a lot to me.
I had to add in Lubbock's, Leone's and Chelsea's pasts so that they and Tatsumi could get to know each other better as well as add in some character development. Chelsea was difficult since I couldn't find her backstory anywhere in the manga so I had to refer to the anime and the Wiki site for info. I hope I got it right.
For those of you who are wondering, the Ultrabots will keep their original appearances from the cartoon but I slapped on numbers on their hats so it would be easier to identify which one is which. On an important note, the Ultrabots will run on oil and a condensed plasma reactor within their bodies rather than Aku's essence. I will reveal the origin for the plasma reactors as the story progresses.
Many of you are guessing the new voices I gave the Ultrabots and I went with the Constructor from Borderlands 2. I really wanted to go for a more frightening route with the voices since this is the world of Akame ga Kill and I actually think they work out pretty well. If you go to Youtube and type in Constructor Quotes, you'll get a pretty good feeling of how disturbing they all are.
One cool little fact is that I had tough time finding the perfect reveal music for the Ultrabots. My options were the main theme of Terminator 2 and the title screen music from Doom 4. I decided to go with this particular soundtrack from DMC3 because I wanted to capture the raw, inhuman terror the Ultrabots bring forth.
As I previously stated before, I will be taking a break on this story to work one of my other stories. But as a special treat, as well as another huge thanks, I have written down an informative list of Ultrabots 1 through 19. Enjoy!
Don't forget to review but please don't flame.
Ultrabot Encyclopedia
Unit #1
Codename: Army Slayer
Weapon: A massive greatsword similar in appearance to the Dragonslayer from Berserk
Additional Information: The leader of the Ultrabots, #1's skill with its greatsword is unrivaled and unmatched. His greatsword allows him to easily hack apart battalions of soldiers with little to no effort, earning him his iconic codename. The rest of the Ultrabots follow its commands without question and its orders are absolute.
Unit #2
Codename: Ripper
Weapon: Curved wristclaws similar to the ones wielded by the Garrador enemy from Resident Evil 4
Additional Information: Unit #2 was tailor made for dicing its enemies into bloody piles of confetti. Its elongated claws can easily slice through most known types of steel and its acrobatic subroutines allow it to easily close the distance and cut apart its foes. All the grace of a gymnast combined with the ruthless efficiency of a killer, all in one terrifying package.
Unit #3
Codename: Turbo
Weapon: Massive gauntlets and a back mounted jet booster
Additional Information: A master at brawling, Unit #3's studded gauntlets allow it to instantly shatter bones or knock of heads with one blow. The jet booster on its back allows it to launch itself at its foes at breakneck speeds and bone crushing force. Additionally, it has smaller jet boosters on its gauntlets which increase the speed and power of its punches.
Unit #4
Codename: Tengu
Weapons: Dual Kukris and metallic wings that give it the ability to fly
Additional Information: Unit #4 can be best described as the robotic version of Run. The 1st aerial unit of the Ultrabots, Unit #4's wing are both made of a lightweight version of adamantium and lined with nano-filament fabrics and meshes which easily allow it to soar through the air. Its Kukris make it an especially deadly combatant.
Unit #5
Codename: Singularity
Weapons: Gravity manipulator, laser beam gun in fingers and 4 laser drones identical to the Drone enemy from X-Com Enemy Unknown
Additional information: The 2nd aerial unit, Unit #5 has an inbuilt "Gravity Well Generator" which gives it the ability to manipulate gravity as well as enable it to float through the air with ease. Additionally, its fingers contain laser beam emitters that can pierce through anything and can be configured to fire multiple shots or continuous beams of energy. Unit #5 also employs 4 support drones that each have the same laser weapons it is equipped with and serve as back up.
Unit #6
Codename: Scorched Earth
Weapons: Dual GAU-19 miniguns, 2 underslung dumbfire rocket launchers similar to the ones from Quake 3 Arena and shoulder mounted, heat seeking missile pods. Also comes equipped with a back mounted helicopter rotor
Additional Information: This Ultrabot lives up to its codename frighteningly well. The equivalent of a walking tank, Unit #6 brings death and destruction everywhere it goes. Its helicopter functionality not only makes it the 3rd and final aerial unit, but also allows it to literally rain down death from above.
Unit #7
Codename: Prism
Weapons: Arms are made of a reflective, extremely dense and highly malleable crystal-like material that can be shaped into any weapon
Additional Information: Unit #7 is a combat opportunist. Its arms are made of a semi-elastic crystalline substance known as Elastitherium. This enables it to instantly form any weapon known to man to get the drop on its opponent. As an added bonus, the crystal is very reflective so if it is very bright outside, it can focus light at its foes to blind them or severely burn them.
Unit #8
Codename: Mach 1
Weapons: Dual karambit knives and an advanced, super speed generator that allows it to run at the speed of sound
Additional Information: Thanks' to its built-in speed generator; you will never see this Ultrabot coming. Unit #8 can literally run at near-blinding speeds to easily outrun and viscously pummel its foe while it karambits can sever tendons, slit throats and efficiently aim for any gaps in its foes defenses. Not only that, but it can also weaponize the sound barrier. Since it can effectively control its speed, it can unleash sonic booms near its opponent to stun, deafen, and disorient the poor sap.
Unit #9
Codename: Gemini
Weapons: Explosive escrima sticks and the ability to create a mirror image of itself, allowing it and the doppelganger to fight side by side
Additional Information: This one is quite literally 2 Ultrabots in one. Unit #9's "Phase Distortion Amplifier" creates an afterimage of itself which is just as strong and hits just as hard. To make matters worse, this afterimage cannot be harmed. Its primary form of offense is a pair of escrima sticks but here's the real kicker: each one releases microscopic cluster bombs just as they hit the opponent. They don't have enough explosive force to blow off a limb but they can painfully rupture the skin.
Unit #10
Codename: Whiplash
Weapons: Each arm is replaced with 20 whips, each of them ending in a razor sharp, scythe like blade that vibrates at an ultrasonic frequency
Additional Information: Unit #10 looks like it came straight out of your worst nightmares. Each arm is made up of 20 whips which can extend to several feet and each one has a wicked looking scythe can vibrate at insanely high frequencies which allow it to cut through armor and metal like they were made of tissue paper. They can also use the whips to tightly bind their targets and mercilessly flay them alive.
Unit #11
Codename: Yari
Weapon: Double ended Jumonji spears and magnetic manipulation
Additional Information: Quick and deadly, Unit #11 is skillfully proficient with its spears and looks for every opportunity to utilize the gut hooks on each side of the spears. It can also use the magnetic pads within its palms to turn anything remotely metal into a deadly projectile. It can also be used to retrieve thrown spears.
Unit #12
Codename: Blood Knight
Weapon: War mace and tower shield equipped with several countermeasures
Additional Information: Unit #12 gets its codename for literally being drenched in the blood of his foes after a battle. Its armaments include a flanged mace and an imposing tower shield that covers most of its body. But not only is it used for extra defense, it also contains a 30mm cannon and a flechette gun that can easily annihilate anything stupid enough to be in front of it.
Unit #13
Codename: Firestarter
Weapons: Flamethrowers located in wrists palms, and fingers
Additional Information: Whereas Bols greatly dislikes setting people on fire, Unit #13 takes immense pleasure in doing it. Due to his napalm being greatly enhance by his plasma generator, Unit #13's flames are 10 times stronger than Rubicante. This Ultrabot can also use the flamethrowers located in its fingers to create "Burner Jet Claws" which allow it to cut/melt through steel and inflict horrible burn wounds.
Unit #14
Codename: Auger
Weapons: Drills attached to arms (Try to image Enma's Spear of Justice only way scarier looking)
Additional information: Not only can Unit #14's drills bore straight through pure bedrock but they are also useful for running several adversaries straight through, resulting in a very messy outcome. It can also fire drill missiles that dig into whatever it hits and then explode. The missiles are located on the sides of its arms.
Unit #15
Codename: Onslaught
Weapons: Dual pile bunkers and explosive orbs
Additional Information: Unit #15 shows zero mercy towards anyone. Its pile bunkers can smash apart buildings and defenses and don't even get me started on what they do to people. Its most special weapon however, is its explosive photon orbs. The bowling ball-sized spheres harmlessly adhere to anything it touches and what follows afterwards is a massive, horribly violent explosion.
Unit #16
Codename: Artillery Barrage
Weapons: QLB-06 grenade launcher, wrist mounted Pancor Jackhammer and a back mounted 120mm SRAMS (Super Rapid Advanced Mortar System)
Additional Information: Whether from up close or from afar, Unit #16 will rock your world in the worst way possible. His grenade launcher can fire different types of grenades (explosive, shock, incendiary, corrosive, stun and shrapnel) while his wrist mounted shotgun can perforate anyone who tries to get too close. His mortar shells are destructively powerful and have a very large blast radius.
Unit #17
Codename: Black Ice
Weapons: Katars and the ability to generate ice
Additional information: This is what happens when you combine Esdeath with The Terminator. While not as immensely powerful like Esdeath, Unit #17 is every bit as monstrous and dangerous as her. It possesses nearly of the abilities of Demons Extract due to the "Absolute Zero Generator" built within it and is very skilled with its katars.
Unit #18
Codename: Razor Wind
Weapons: Bladed chakrams
Additional Information: Unit #18 is the only Ultrabot with 4 arms. But that's so it can throw as many chakrams as it can with rapid efficiency as well as attack from any angle when engaged in close quarters combat. Each chakram is equipped with homing technology which allows the blades to actively seek out their targets and return back to the user.
Unit #19
Codename: Dead Eye
Weapons: Iver Johnson AMAC 1500 BMG sniper rifle and machine gun drones similar to the OWL drone from Killzone Shadow Fall
Additional Information: Unit #19 is the last member of the Ultrabots and the team sniper. He utilizes a customized, belt fed sniper rifle that can instantly liquefy anything the round hits. Because of its advanced targeting optics, Unit #19 never misses it shot. It also come equipped with 2 machine gun drones that pepper any attacker with a volley of FMJ rounds.
See you all next time!
