Chapter 6:
A group of resistance fighters and civilians was trying to get away from incoming Star Cerberus hover tanks that began rapidly firing rockets at the group trying to destroy them.
"We need to get the civilians safe!" One resistance fighter shouted only to be blown up by an incoming missile.
Two other resistance fighters were killed by Star Cerberus soldiers running in with their hover tanks following.
One civilian held his son tightly and aimed his blaster pistol ready to fire to defend the group, however, the tank blew up and so did the soldiers being bombarded by heavy blaster fire coming from the sky.
Zooming down and up was three Cyclonian Empire starfighters alongside a resistance starfighter and shuttle that was heading toward the civilians to pick them up.
"Wasn't those our enemies?" A woman asked the man
"They are our heroes now." The man said nodding looking at the Cyclonian Empire starfighters going to engage another squadron of Star Cerberus fighters.
General Hux paced on the bridge and soon got a transmission coming in from the Illusive Man.
"Sir we-" Hux began
"You have to deal with it. I now am giving you permission to use the super weapon but only on two percent power to destroy the ships. Do not fail me." The Illusive Man warned as his transmission ended.
Hux yelled to the bridge crew of the Olympus Mons.
"For the glory of our Empire! Begin charging the weapon and begin to fire at each ship!" Hux ordered.
Hackett on the bridge noticed the Olympus Mons' main super weapon begin to glow bright orange to red and suddenly before he could give an order to watch out a beam passed by and struck a Crimson Kingdom battleship completely vaporizing it.
"Damn it!" Hackett yelled.
Maya on the bridge of the Centurion looked at what happened and frowned.
"They aren't very nice people." She said to herself.
On the Centurion was quite a bit of her sisters but also Alliance members as well.
"All personnel, evacuate the ship." Maya said on the speaker system.
"What? We aren't in any danger?" One of her sisters said.
Maya turned her head and smiled brightly and suddenly her sisters knew what she was going to do. It wasn't anything suicidal, more so dangerous to them as it would be for her.
Everyone suddenly began to evacuate the Centurion heading to shuttles and starfighters.
"Everyone listening on intercom, all Centurion members will either head to earth or help in the space fight. I am taking complete control of our flagship, any other ship that is nearly destroyed I want you to evacuate and let your ship float in space. I will handle the rest." Maya said and gave a cute purr at the end of her sentence.
Around Maya was a glow of three rings, each ring having holographic battle screens and her eyes being brown had a liberal ring on each one that was glowing red. She began to control the ship with her own mind.
"You bad guys aren't being very nice." She said on the intercom to reach enemy vessels.
Suddenly Maya began to hum a tune and the Centurion began to go upside down going right over a Star Cerberus battleship.
Maya turned on the gravity in the ship and floated looking at the readings on her holographic computers that she summoned with her powers. Her powers quite unusual and different from her sisters, but why she was important to command their flagship as well.
Mienshao flying the Normandy attacking Star Cerberus frigates noticed the Centurion upside down going over two Star Cerberus battleships.
"Oh god... she's going to do it." Mienshao said.
Lamar looked and tilted his head. "That girl be crazy!" He said.
"What will she do exactly?" Jacob asked sitting at the co-pilot seat and watching.
"Our flagship has an automatic reloading system that Maya designed. If our flagship was to blow up, it would be catastrophic." Mienshao said.
"So... she's going to blow herself up?" Lamar asked.
"No. She's-" Mienshao began until it happened.
Maya controlled the ships turrets on the top of the ship and the ship being upside down began to rain down rapid fire from the cannons, to which the consoles wouldn't go that fast at all if controlled by someone. Maya was controlling the ship with her mind and it began to rain fire down on both Star Cerberus battleships blowing them up instantly with enough bombardment.
The Centurion began to turn back straight and as it did it fired at incoming smaller frigates targeting them easily and only using the front turrets of the ship to do it and in a rapid-fire motion.
Suddenly sixteen Star Cerberus battleships and twenty-four frigates and their squadrons moved toward her position after destroying a turian and hanar fleet.
Maya just giggled smiling. "Naughty naughty!" She said
Maya twirled around and giggled once more and suddenly the Centurions missile bays opened in order and fast, suddenly the ones on the side opened.
"How many missile launchers do you guys have?" Jacob asked.
"They were installed. Much of the ship doesn't get rooms or storage, they were remade into weapon storage and reloaders. We have one hundred missile bay doors. And all shoot one type of missile." Mienshao said with a sigh. "Nuclear..."
Maya then clapped her hands and opened her arms. "It's a carnival!" She yelled happily and hundreds of missiles shot out in rows from the top and sides of the centurion aimed right at the squadrons, the battleships and frigates of Star Cerberus and made an epic explosion leaving a floating mess of debris.
Lamar and Jacob were speechless and Mienshao just smirked.
"Oh, she's giddy today." Mienshao said chuckling about her sister and then went back to engaging other starfighters.
"What about the Olympus Mons, that thing is a monster the length of the moon almost." Deidara said sitting next to at the co-pilot seat as Jacob sat back onto a console opposite of Lamar who was sitting behind the pilot seat typing on his console for the Normandy systems to work.
"Nothing we can do for now boys. Deidara, I am going to head to the bathroom. I trust you to handle things okay?" She asked him.
"Don't worry I had three hits of pot so I'm good." Deidara said as Mienshao rolled her eyes running down the hall toward the briefing room to get to the elevator.
Ground side Alliance forces and former enemy forces move in together knocking down different bases throughout Earth. At Seattle two NOD walkers fight with Star Cerberus atlas' walkers with the NOD ones pushing away the atlas' walkers with ease and firing rockets into them.
Azure Kingdom fighters run at incoming Star Cerberus forces and stab through their armor with their cortosis blades and some behind them shooting at the enemy forces with their long-range sniper rifles.
Beside them fighting was a few NOD soldiers shooting out toxic chemical grenades from their grenade launchers into enemy bunkers right through their openings where their machine guns was in.
Somewhere in Washington DC nearby the destroyed capitol building was Momochi clan members along side Hutetsuu clan members hiding behind structures looking at an envoy of the enemies taking POV's somewhere.
The Momochi wolves howled in the alleyways shocking the enemy soldiers and from the other side, the Momochi and Hutetsuu fighters rush at them using their earth powers from the Momochi and ice powers from the Hutetsuu.
Giant rocks flying out of the ground into the vehicles and ice shards ripping through enemy soldiers.
Above them were enemy helio's but suddenly as they came they also were destroyed by incoming Alliance fighters.
Meanwhile Qrow, Maychiro, Kylo, Fern, Mordin and Mira was walking toward a firefight going on with an Azure Kingdom ground force and Star Cerberus forces.
"I got the back ones." Kylo said force leaping with his lightsaber ignited and stabbed one soldier through his body and ripping his blade out and slicing into another soldier.
Qrow spun his own scythe-like weapon slicing down a soldiers head down the middle and out his jaw.
Maychiro held her hands out creating her wind element power to swirl rocks up and then crashing them right down onto a Star Cerberus At last walker crushing it and the pilot inside.
Mira kept using her biotic power sending biotic spheres into the last two remaining soldiers.
Mordin and Fern just stood there blinking and walking over the dead bodies.
"Quite messy." Mordin said.
Qrow nodded to the Azure Kingdom forces who ran in another direction.
The group began to walk further into Rome and suddenly Qrow stopped walking and sighed.
"Stop." Qrow said and he looked at Mordin.
"You and my brother Dray know the cure antidote to my nieces. I want you to make it." Qrow said making everyone stop and look at him.
Maychiro wanted to say something like this wasn't the right time but she kept quiet.
"Qrow, not wise to talk about this now." Mordin said.
"No, Mordin this is the time right now. Look I think we need them to get a bit dangerous in a time like this. To lock away half their power is unreasonable. I understand my brother was thinking over for them I understand, but maybe just maybe nothing bad will happen!" Qrow told him.
Fern and Kylo looked at one another and back to what was going on.
Maychiro looked at Mira and Mira just sighed looking around incase any enemies were nearby.
Mordin remained silent and turned facing away from Qrow.
"Promised Dray I wouldn't tell. Yet I do understand what you mean." Mordin said.
"Then why did you two do it if you understand!" Qrow said to him.
"Because your brother was scared. If we were to give them the cure now, it would be problematic." Mordin told him.
"How so?" Qrow asked.
"Dangerous, wouldn't know how they'd react is one thing. We must not talk about it now though." Mordin said to him.
"Mordin. Please, I ask you to please, cure my nieces. I understand Dray was scared but he's gone now. Maybe he'd be okay with it now." Qrow said.
Mordin took a deep breath in.
"Will think about it." Mordin replied.
"You seem like your not concern about it to wanting to help the girls grow further in power and abilities." Maychiro said.
Mordin then turned around to Maychiro.
"I made a mistake!" Mordin shouted and suddenly calmed himself.
"Made mistake, told Dray it would be wrong but we did it together so that the girls could be less agitated and less dangerous, for safety of others. For them. I did it thinking it would save them, yet I see what you two are saying. Will think on if I should cure them or not, but its been too long that probably it wouldn't work." Mordin said to them.
Everyone kept quiet and Mordin walked passed them and soon everyone began to follow.
Fern looked at Qrow and sighed.
"I understand how you feel, but he's right we do not know what to expect. But just know I am on your side." Fern said to Qrow who smiled at him and took out his flask taking another sip.
"Wanna share?" Fern asked.
"Fuck no." Qrow said.
Meanwhile ground side, Haurchefant looked over some concrete rubble and then looked back to Serenity.
"It looks clear but I doubt it." He said to her.
"We will go through the torn buildings then." She said.
Suddenly they heard movement and Serenity went first and Haurchefant stayed close.
"I can go on ahead, stay with the group I don't want any casualties." She said to him.
"Sorry, but I won't let you go alone." Haurchefant protested.
Suddenly running out was Sam and Serenity activated her lightsaber nearly striking Sam but stopped and deactivated her weapon.
"Sam?" Serenity said in shock.
"I know I was told to stay on the ship but I couldn't let Umbreon go at this alone. I don't want to be useless." Sam told her.
The rest of Serenity's group walked up, they were inside an abandoned tavern.
"Sam, for crying out loud we are in a war." Serenity said a bit angry.
"I understand but I need to make sure Umbreon will be safe. She's my girlfriend Serenity. I need to make sure she's okay." Sam said and began to feel nervous.
Serenity sighed and looked at the blaster pistol Sam hand strapped on her belt.
"And you think that is going to protect you?" Serenity pointed at the blaster.
"Please, let me find Umbreon." Sam said sighing looking down at the floor.
"Stay with us okay? Stay behind Ken'shiro. I am sure we will meet Umbreon and her group but for now, you stay right with mine and when you see an enemy, I want you to shoot and if you don't then I want you to head to a resistance hideout and wait it out." Serenity told her.
"Serenity..." Sam started until seeing Serenity was serious, but she knew Serenity was looking out for her life. Sam gave a nod and gripped her blaster pistol in her hand no longer shaking. "Yes." Sam said.
Serenity nodded and beckoned everyone to follow through the buildings to head to their objective.
Meanwhile at the far east side and going further into Rome was Umbreons group.
Umbreon was standing with Vowrawn who came to join them and both watched something in front of them with Vowrawn quite impressed and Umbreon a bit startled.
Neopolitan was standing over twenty dead Star Cerberus soldiers including one atlas walker which was sparking of electricity with its arms ripped out.
Neo twirled her umbrella closing it and walked passed Umbreon with a wink and Umbreon turning with Vowrawn to watch her stand back in place with the rest of the group which was a bit scared of her.
"Alright then. That happened." Umbreon said.
"If we survive this, let us put her in a fighting ring and make money." Vowrawn whispered and nudged Umbreon laughing.
Umbreon, however, wasn't laughing and glared at him.
"Umbreon, we should push on." Absol said to her sister.
"Right, alright let's go." Umbreon said beckoning the group.
"I wonder if Serenity's group made it." Vowrawn said curiously.
"Psh, they got Mangle with them so I bet they are probably three steps ahead of us." Umbreon remarked.
Umbreon looked nearby hearing an explosion and kept going with her group to their target.
In the distance, two Star Cerberus hover tanks kept firing at a building that had a few Wookie fighters inside mixed with Onderonian military forces.
The group inside began to fire from open windows and force opened walls.
Nearby was reinforcements of the enemy shooting at them from their side.
"We need reinforcements!" One of the Onderon military men yelled.
Suddenly they heard the two tanks outside explode and looking out the windows to see them burning up.
Then a missile hit the group of enemies from the side and flying down was three Cyclonian shuttles unloading more forces to their position.
One of the shuttles that landed had Volus species run out and beginning to fix one of the enemy tanks that was still somewhat intact and once it flickered with life one Volus got in taking out the dead soldier that operated it and controlled it to help the forces with their next advancement into the city.
Meanwhile, in the main sewer system, Mangle and Zarbon were walking in the dark with only Mangles night vision and her small built-in flashlight in her eye socket that was black.
"Oh my, it stinks in here. I hope I don't smell like this when I go to attract hunky gorgeous men." Zarbon said.
"Dude you know I crawl through sewers all the time. It doesn't bother me." Mangle said simply.
Suddenly both of them heard noise further in the sewer.
Mangle checked the data map typing on the Omni tool on her wrist and seen the tunnel system on it. She saw they were near the main street in the city, which she knew would be heavily occupied.
"Oh Mangle this is suicide." Zarbon said to her and turned around. "Maybe we should-" he started until she grabbed his tight short shorts yanking him back.
"Zarbon we are going forward. Just aim and shoot okay?" Mangle said to him.
"Alright fine. But you owe me another lava cake." He said walking with her toward the noise.
"I have to ask, what happened to those three dragons that Serenity had from Telos?" Zarbon asked her as they walked.
"As far as I know? I have no clue. I know they were actually in a shuttle to head here. Serenity has a few other pets when we were growing up. Wow, I wonder what they been up too." Mangle said.
"Wait, here?" Zarbon asked in shock.
"Yeah left em on Earth. Hope they survived but if they did who knows where they went. They can smell our scent so maybe they will come to us." Mangle said with a shrug.
"Creepy." Zarbon said and suddenly in front of them was a line of Star Cerberus soldiers appearing from the dark with their weapons drawn.
"Zarbon, lay down... I got this." Mangle said as Zarbon did just that.
"Ugh, it's filthy." Zarbon said feeling the moisture on his body.
"Shut up." Mangle said and held her Gatling cannon in her hands looking at the soldiers with a grin on her face.
"It's a Gorgon! Everyone attack!" One Star Cerberus soldier said activating his personal shield around him.
Four atlas' was behind them activating as well as one Star Cerberus hover tank which somehow made it into the main sewer as a protection for the elevator nearby that went up to the main street.
Mangle looked at them and smirked. "Do you wanna Wanga!?" Mangle shouted at them.
Mangle's minigun suddenly sparkled and shined brightly and it morphed and separated and began to morph again into four pieces and they took shape and suddenly the shining burst with sparkles and there in her hands was grips and attached to those grips was on top a minigun and below another minigun, on each side having four Gatling cannons. All of which had dynamite rounds. Also, there was mechanical equipment from it and out toward her shoulders and back making support for herself. She summoned a quad Gatling cannon to herself with a small built-in shield generator.
"Holy crap!" One Star Cerberus soldier said.
"Just fucking shoot her!" Another soldier said and all began to fire at her, some of their bolts missed her and some hit her shield.
Mangle suddenly rose her hands up and then down aiming at the group and her thumbs clicked the side buttons sending rapid fire of dynamite rounds right at them. Her Gatling cannons were plasma clipped and easily able to rebuild energy.
"Yaaaah!" Mangle shouted laughing uncontrollably with her eyeless eyesocket beaming red as she was targetting them with her programming.
The dynamite rounds hit everyone including the atlas walkers and even parts of the sewer breaking it down.
Zarbon had to tap her ankle and suddenly Mangle stopped to look down at him and snapped out of it.
Infront of them were piles of dead Star Cerberus soldiers, their bodies turned to mush and armor pieces. The floor and ceiling were destroyed and beginning to cave in.
"I think you got them." Zarbon said to her.
Mangle pushed another button on the handles making the plasma clipped fallout and automatically new ones go in.
"I was having fun..." Mangle said as her eyes glanced up.
Zarbon and her looked at one another and ran toward the elevator seeing as the sewer was about to cave in and made it just in time as they took the elevator platform up.
"Phew." Mangle said and right as both of them made it up top they were confronted by more Star Cerberus soldiers running toward them.
"Zarbon, take behind I take in front." Mangle ordered.
"There are way too many, we are in a tough situation." Zarbon said.
"There has been plenty of worse situations." Mangle replied.
"Name one." Zarbon replied seeing more Star Cerberus soldiers coming in from buildings.
"Duur II." Mangle said remarking a planet and something that happened there when they was on it.
"New two." Zarbon said worried seeing Three more atlas walkers coming in.
Mangle just grinned licking her lips. "Time to rape some soldiers." She said in a creepy crackly tone as her eye was wide open eeriely.
Meanwhile far in the distance ontop of a roof was Matagi looking through her scope at Mangle and Zarbon. She lifted her weapon up looking back behind her as Pendrak was looking through his sniper rifle scope with a grin on his face.
Urashiki stood there with them with his arms crossed. "Guess we should pay them a visit huh?" He said.
"I want to kill that girl, Serenity. Hehehe! I got a special toxin just for her!" Pendrak laughed and turned around walking off showing behind his belt, vails of toxic chemicals.
