(Kowalski's POV)
I turned from the results of the Sub trial with a smirk. The EMP Bomb gave away that someone is using this year's competition. Eva looked shocked that her Team was in dead last.
"Don't you think it odd that the your team is only a ahead of Robo-team by a couple points?" Eva said.
"Not if they're deliberately holding back," Kowalski said, "I find it hard to believe that the IASA's pet robot project would be defeated by bubbles."
"They don't really exactly match their specs," Eva said, "Heads are way to small for example. And the Shoulder joints are way too big!"
Eva shows a hologram side-by-side of the Original Agent-bot specs and the Agent-bot used in the competition.
"Wait a minute," I said as I messed with the Hologram controls and bring up the specs of one of Pentron's 'minion-bots'.
I also brought up the specs of The Elite Units, The Lighting Gunners, and The Flamethrower Units, and all the versions of Pentron including the unfinished 4.0 and "Fake-tron". I also brought up the Heavy Assault Unit side-by-side with the Heavy Assault Agent-bot and the Super-dreadnought Death-bringer.
"They look like Pentron's robots," Eva said.
"Infiltration Units," I said, "I saw Pentron's plans for them when he had me holed up in Lady Liberty."
Eva was hacking into something, "Wait... I'm picking up a strange signal underneath the broadcast transmission from The Aqua-dome!"
"Strange signal?" I said, "Show me."
Eva hits a button and strange symbols shoot out of the hologram projector.
"Those are Dalek Symbols," I said, "what's the source of this hidden signal?"
I grabbed my smart phone where the signal's live feed was downloaded onto. I tracked the signal to a point on the seafloor a couple feet from the last event's venue. I quickly found a wall in the form of a Dalek firewall. I tapped away at the code until I found a backdoor and managed to get into the highly advanced Dalek system. Some code I recognized from Pentron piqued my interest and found myself hacking into a security system. I located some camera's located 'Submarine Bridge" and found a security feed. I sent the feed over to Eva's spy phone which she quickly transferred to the Holo-projector.
Several Agents stopped and watched as the feed appeared. My eye's widen in horror as I recognized Pentron and a whole army of 'agent-bots' alongside a small (and kinda rundown) Dalek army. I instantly recognized the Yellow Eternal New Paradigm Dalek.
"Turn on the sound," I said.
Eva hit a button and a terrifying conversation reached our ear-holes.
"What do you want?" The Unmistakable voice of Pentron said..
"You told us that the EMP bomb would take them both out," The Eternal whispered.
"The Penguins using their EMP shielding was something I couldn't predict," He replied.
And then the one thing I did not want to hear reached my ears...
"Alert! Alert!" A red Drone screamed, "Our systems have been compromised! Our Security systems accessed! The Penguin Known as Kowalski and the Owl known as Eva has infiltrated our systems and just witnessed this conversation! They know about the Operation!"
"You just brought the Daleks to us!" one of the IPSA agents shouted.
The Robot turned to security Camera, "Well played Kowalski... and you wondered why I chose to imitate your appearance..."
I stared at the live feed in shock, "It's him its Pentron how did he survive..."
"And what's with the silver cape," Eva said.
"And why haven't we been kicked from the feed," I said.
"I can't disconnect from the feed," Eva said, "It's like he wanted us to see this..."
"Oh no," I said.
"Since you won't live to tell the others," He sneered, "I am Ultima Pentron! Pentron Perfected! And you just made your last mistake!"
"Ultima Pentron?" I said, "Pentron Perfected? But H-how..."
Eva looked at the feed in shock, "Last Mistake!?"
"I think I see where this is going," I said.
"Order's sir?" The Pentron Elite Unit asked as the Lighting Gunner cocked it's lighting blaster.
"What do we do with Kowalski sir?" The Minion-bot asked.
"Should we deactivate our infiltration modes?" One of the 'Agent-bots' that were not part of Robo-team asked.
"Yes," he said, "Robo-team!"
The Robo-team stood at attention, "continue dominating the competition!" He said.
"Well that explains some things," I said as I watched Robo-team leave the bridge.
"As for the rest of us!" He said, "We will find Kowalski... and we will... EXTERMINATE HIM!"
"How very Dalek of you," I snapped at the feed.
"Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate!" All the Daleks in the room chanted as all "Ultima" Pentron's Forces rose their fists or weapons into the air.
"Cut the connection," I said, "they could track us down with that!"
"I can't," Eva said, "my Spy-phone not responding."
"We can't get any of the Computers to work," Agent 200 shouted.
"And my Smart Phone is..." I said.
My Smart-phone exploded, "...Gone," I said.
The remaining 'Agent-bots' G-Z shed their disguises and revealing themselves to be Pentron Elite Units. Several IPSA agents gasped at the feed when that happened. The Elite Units charged their wrist mounted lasers or cocked their Proton Bazookas. The Lone Lighting Gunner flipped off the safety on The Lighting Blaster. The Minion-bot cocked it's Plasma Blaster while the rundown Elite Unit took command of the other Elite Units.
"Commander Rust," Ultima Pentron said turning to said Elite Unit.
"We are at you command your metalness," Rust replied.
"Your metalness?" Eva said.
"They do know that doesn't work as a title," I said.
"Now in the words of The Doctor... which one I don't care," I said, "Allons-y! Fantastic! Geronimo! Let's get our shift on!"
"Yes Sir!"
"WE OBEY!"
"We need to get out of here!" I said as the Eva finally got control of her Spy-phone.
Eva tried to exit the feed only to accidentally enter a different fed.
"Everything is going exactly to plan," Davros said.
"WHAT!?" I said.
"Then The Penguins Doom is fast approaching!" The Red Supreme said with it's egotistical voice.
"Yes," Davros said.
"Then you are no longer necessary! Exterminate!"
Davros didn't see the extermination beam until it was too late.
Eva cut the connection to the feed as we all stood in silence for a moment.
"We need to Alert Rockgut!" I said, "And Skipper! And Classified!"
"We need to disable the Agent-bots immediately!" one of the IPSA agents shouted.
"Yes," Rockgut said in a monotone voice, "We do... starting with all of you!"
"What?" someone said as Ultima Pentron blasts the door down.
"How did you survive," I sneered.
"By living," Ultima Pentron replied before smashing his fist into me.
Commander Rust enters with a army of Elite Units at his back. A lone Heavy Assault Unit, The Lighting Gunner, and a Minion-bot entered as well.
"You will be Exterminated!" A Red Drone said as the Eternal, a Special Weapons, several Drones, and Several run-down bronze Daleks entered.
"Can we stop them?" Eva said as she dodged a extermination beam.
"Sorry all the Dalek stopping weapons are in Rico right now," I said.
"EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!"
"We can't have you spoiling the surprise this year," Rockgut said the headband now sparking as electricity moves around the headband.
"He's under mind control!" I said.
The butt of a Gun hits Rockgut in the back. Rockgut falls face first the headband still sparking. I smiled as the familiar face of The Rock-hopper Penguin from P.A.A.T known as Agent 102 is revealed.
"Agent 102," I said.
"At your service," She replied before blasting a Dalek with a Dalek-buster.
Suddenly Rockgut got up and flipped the P.A.A.T Agent to the ground. He then barreled through Nigel and two other agents as extermination beams and laser bolts filled the air. The Special Weapon's Dalek fired taking out a bank of computers. A agent reaches for his radio but got blasted before he could grab it.
"See you!" Rockgut said, "I have a competition to run!"
Rockgut hits a button and all the doors and Windows were blocked by metal panels, "Lockdown initiated!" the computer said as the lights turn off, the computers shut off, and the base is bathed in red emergency lighting.
It was still way too dark for us and the Daleks used that to their advantage. The enemy fire intensified as Heavy Assault Unit tried to attack me and Eva from behind. I ducked out of the way of a extermination beam which blasted the heavy robot. The Dalek is destroyed by Agent 200's dalek-buster as Agent 102 tossed me a spare one.
"Agent 102 and 200," Nigel said, 'take agents 400, 104, and 101 and fight those daleks!"
I cocked mine and blasted a Lighting Gunner in the head causing it to fall and drop The Lighting Blaster. I tossed the Dalek Buster to Nigel and grabbed The Lighting Blaster. I fired taking out three bronze Daleks and disabling the Eternal. Ultima Pentron blasted me back with a sonic burst breaking The Lighting Blaster.
A Dalek fired but I deflected the blast right back with the side of my useless weapon. The Dalek exploded with a large scream as a glancing blast from the Special Weapon's Dalek blasted me backwards.
"Eva!" I said, "See if you can't disable the..."
I ducked to avoid a Dalek extermination blast, "...The lock-down!"
Eva flew off towards a nearby bank of computers. The Special Weapon's Dalek took it out forcing Eva to fly towards another only for the Special Weapon's to destroy that one too. I karate chopped the head off a Minion-bot and grabbed his Proton Bazooka. I fired destroying the Special Weapon's Dalek which exploded taking out several Drone Daleks.
"Good thing Skipper's not here," I said as the wall next to me exploded.
"He's probably having a fun time right now," Eva said as she ignited her wing mounts and flew off narrowly missing a Dalek death beam.
I blasted another Dalek to bits with The Proton Bazooka and avoided a blast from a slightly under-powered Laser Bazooka. I blasted the offending Robot who just happened to be Fake-tron.
"Okay," I said, "why is he here..."
Ultima Pentron blasted the floor behind me which sent me flying into a wall. More Daleks teleported in lead by the White Supreme Dalek. There were more screams of Exterminate followed by a barrage of Dalek death beams. Something else exploded as Eva flew towards a elevated balcony defended by agents hiding behind flipped over tables and crates. She rushed to the bank of computers and got to work protected by cover fire. The Daleks were ruthlessly approaching the elevated area blasting from below or elevating. One of the elevated Daleks got it's eyestalk blown out as two more rose to take it's place blasting away at the hiding places as agents returned fire.
I cocked The Proton Bazooka and blasted at The Daleks diverting some of them from their attack as fire from both sides intensified.
"Don't let any of them escape!" Ultima Pentron Shouted as a Dalek ship blasted a hole through the roof.
I rushed up a staircase ducking to avoid Enemy and Friendly Fire. Once I reach the second floor balcony I slip behind a shipping crate and zipped past the freight elevator and a waiting forklift. I dove behind the improvised barricade and rushed over to the computer bank Eva was working at.
"Behind you!" Eva shouted as a Dalek elevated up to the balcony.
I quickly spun around and blasted the Dalek. And then to our dismay the freight elevator dinged and the doors slid open revealing a elevator full of Daleks. Several agents turned around but not fast enough.
"EXTERMINATE!"
"If you say so," I said blasting the Daleks in the elevator.
The Daleks exploded taking the freight elevator with it. The explosion caused the forklift to go flying back. It sent several agents and barricades flying as it crashed through the guard-rail and smashed into several hovering Daleks. The Forklift was blasted at causing the propane tank to exploded blowing up several Daleks.
I rush over to where Eva was working, "Where are you on shutting off the Lock-down?"
"I just need a couple more minutes and no Dalek surprises," Eva replied.
"These Daleks are run-down," I said, "and what's the worst that could happen... they call the rest of the fleet?"
"The Fleet has arrived!" A Dalek announced as the ceiling exploded.
We all looked up (between weapon blasts) in horror as the Dalek fleet descended from the clouds above us. A Large and very familiar ship orienting itself directly above our position.
"Got it!" Eva said as the lockdown lifted as the door were unblocked.
"What ship is that?" Agent 200 asked.
I turned to the King Penguin, "I have a theory..."
The bottom of the ship opened up and the absolutely last weapon I wanted to see descended out of the ship.
"Does your theory involve The Death Beam?" Agent 102 asked.
"You want the short answer or the long answer?" I asked.
"I don't we have time for either," Eva said as all the Daleks and Ultima Pentron's force were teleported out.
A Man with a weird weapon walks in, "Hello irrelevant animals. I am your worst nightmare. Your destruction! I am The Mas..."
The Death Beam fired cutting him off and then everything exploded. Everyone get's blasted off their feet as the shock-wave blasts outward. The last thing I saw was the Dalek ships leave as dust and debris fall back to Earth. And then I pass out...
