Author's Note: I have returned from the dead!~... Look this is the best I could do guys. But Thank you all for waiting for nearly 2 months? Not sure, but if someone can correct me that would be much appreciated. But for anyone who is wondering, this chapter is longer than the others due to me wanting to wrap up this arc. Thus, this Arc is being cut down. I wanted to go to America for a part, but I'm getting too far sidetracked. I need to return to the main story, so this chapter Completes China. Next is France than Germany. Both chapters will be made into one mega sized chapter. Perhaps in the size of my Zi-O Grand Order chapters.

On that point, the next Zi-O Grand Order chapter should come out soon. After that I'm going to keep a consistent update with RWBY Forge. For anyone who's curious the chapters will be short, it's the only way I can keep a consistent updating schedule. As well as incorporate ideas from you guys!

Last point then I'll let you enjoy the story. In the tail end of December and the first Month of the new year I will be in Japan.(I'm getting tired of America and it's bullshit.) Tho, this does not mean I will take a break. I will continue to work even overseas just… If the timing of my uploads seems off that's because I'm in a different Time Zone.

Thanks for understanding! Now to the story!

Construct 88: The New Regime.

We are Rin

I cross over rubble of fallen buildings and to see the Docks under attack. Glancing up at the sky I don't see any ordinance being flung across the sky. "The Bombardment stopped." I muttered, looking back at the fight at the docks, I can see a familiar Red and Blue figure battling it out with the Goliaths. Sensei is doing what Sensei does best… I stand up straight and look at my IS's systems. The flight system is too damaged for me to fly. But I can float a few meters up… I move to sneak my way through to the docks.

We are Build

I fly high up and flip in the air. I aim my EMP cannon and blast a Goliath. The Goliaths fall down slamming into another Goliath as they fall towards the ground. Folding out the Railgun, I turn and fire a round straight though the two Goliaths as they explode in a brilliant flame. Another group of Goliath's open fire on me. I fly out of the way, as the rounds fall into the ocean. Two Goliaths charge me from either side, I cut my thrust as I drop down towards the water below me as the Goliaths crash into each other. I take aim with my laser and blast the Goliaths, the beam engulfs the two machines, before they explode. I turn towards the water and activate my thrusters again, I fly barely hitting the water's surface.

Build:(chased after) This is Build!(turns to shoot) I'd like a status report on Evacuation?

Yang:(gunfire in the background) Build! We have only managed to evacuate about 20% of the ships. But we're having trouble keeping all the Goliaths from damaging the ships, on the plus side. We have reports saying Mao has taken out the Artillery. So one less thing to worry about.

Build:(dodging shots) Any word on Rin or Huian? Tch!(shoots)

Yang: Nothing right now. Hurry and take out those Goliaths and get back to the Docks, our forces need your help!

"Got it." I said, I cut off my thrusters as I dropped into the ocean. The Goliaths stop above the water. I lock onto the Goliaths, firing my shoulder missiles. The missiles breakout from the water and hit the Goliaths causing them to fall into the water and sink. Even if they can't feel or see… No one deserves a slow death. I take aim with my Railgun and shoot the Goliaths. Rest in peace… All of you… I...I've. No! Now is not the time… I launch backup out of the water and into the air. I fly back towards the frontlines. Forgive me...

We are Rin

I quietly float through a bombed out building, trying to sneak past the fighting at the docks. I need to get around the Tibet forces… I hear footsteps ahead, I duck into cover and shut off my hover. I wait around a piece of cover. I peek out to see what is coming into the building, as I peek around the corner I feel a metal barrel is put up against my head. I activate my shield and blade and knock aside the gun as I jump back with my shield and blade at the ready. "Huian?" I hear as I properly look at who pointed the gun at me to see Mao-san. "Mao-san? Is that you?" I ask, Mao looks at me and lowers her guard.

Mao:(runs over) Rin! Oh god are you okay?! You're in shambles!

Rin:(drops to her knees) Yeah, I-I've managed.

Mao:(helps up Rin) So then… What happened to Huian? Did she…?(Rin shakes her head) I… See, did you?

Rin:(looks at Mao)... Grey Pill… He…(shows phone) She's…

Mao:(looks at phone)... I… See… We need to save that for later. There is still a lot to do.

I look at the blade in my hand. Clenching the blade in my hand, I stand up straight and turning on my hover again. I look at Mao. "... Mam." I said with a nod. "Let's move." Mao said as we headed back towards the docks.

We are Build

The fleet of ships trying to escape come into view. Scanning the skyline I see the remaining Goliaths being barely held back with IS's. Not helped by the Guardian IS's attacking the ships. I need to pull their attention to me. I fly over to the fleet and land on the top of a cruise ship. I point my railgun towards the sky. Wait, I don't need to do that. I lower my arm as my Funnels return to me. "Funnels! Fly!" I exclaim, as my funnels fly out shooting at all of the Goliaths to get their focus on me. The Goliaths turn their cameras to me, they flash a red light as they start gunning towards me. "That's right, follow me!" I said as I launched into the air and fly back towards the city.

We are Yang

I watch as every last Goliath targets and pursues after Build. So eliminating Build is a bigger deal than our escape… "Mam? What do we do?" My second in command asks me. I aim my rifle at a Guardian IS and fire, blowing it's head off. The IS slumps to the ground sparking. "Clear the skies and proceed with the escape." I said unlocking the rifle and handing it to my second in command. I teleport in a new gun, I check it's ammo.

Yang:(turns toward Docks) I'll take a team with me back to the mainland. Our forces need assistance too. I leave the mop up and guard duty to you.

Second:(salutes) Mam!

Yang:(flies towards docks) 1st and 5th squad with me! We're backing up our troops on the mainland.

"Mam!" I hear over the comms as 1st and 5th squad form up behind me. We head off back towards land. "Mainland troops, the fighting over the ships is turning to our favor." I report to the Mainland troops. "Me along with 1st and 5th IS teams are coming to support you! Hold on!" I exclaim speeding up.

We are Arachnid

I watch the city burn from the command center. "Progress?" I asked one of the operators. "87% mam. We are having trouble taking the docks." The Operator answers, I look back up at the screen to see the ships sailing away. "Goliath numbers?" I ask again. "Converging on the Target Mam." The second Operator answers.

Pill:(walks over) Was it really wise to put the retrieval of Build over the escaping refugees?

Arachnid:(sighs) It matters little. Even if they ran to Taiwan, or even Japan. It changes nothing. They will simply find themselves in another War. Not to mention we have allies in both sanariors, and Russia is out of the question due to them wanting nothing to do with this War. So losing them for now. But they only delay the inevitable.

Pill:(nods) I see… I was never really sold on your ability to plan, but you have proven me wrong.

Arachnid:(chuckles) I'll take that as a compliment. Now then, I haven't heard back from Huian. Do you have something to do with that?

Pill:(crosses arms) Yes mistress, she had become a threat. I have dealt with her.

"Thank you." I said looking at the operators who quickly look back at their screens. "Eyes forward boys." I said as my spider legs fold out pointing the sharp ends against their throat. The two operators silently nod. "Good." Folding my legs away, turn to the table next to me and pick up a Hazard Bottle. "I think you might be needing this soon." I said handing the bottle to Pill.

Pill:(sighs) I know what handing me this bottle means. You're expecting me to die.

Arachnid:(raises eyebrow) Oh, no. I am-

Pill: Don't beat around the bush with me. I know what happened to the England Branch Leader when she used it.

Arachnid: You should also remember that she killed herself before she could be captured. Even if you don't use it on yourself, at least you can use it for an attack. Or, to complete a melt down...

Pill looks at the bottle, considering his options. Before reluctantly taking the bottle and pocketing it into his suit. "I'll keep it handy just in case. I plan on seeing China's complete destruction though." Pill said, turning away and walking off. I turn back to the screen. Now then… How will you move next, Katsuragi-Senpai?

We are Build

I fly though the city, with the Goliaths on my tail. I need to funnel them somewhere… The buildings. I fire on the Goliaths to keep them on my back. I turn back to the skyscrapers of the city, I put my arms in front of me, putting away my weapons. Here we go! I slam into the side of the skyscraper breaking through wall after wall, before breaking out to the other side of the skyscraper, I turn back around aiming my weapons at the skyscraper. The Goliaths begin to funnel through the hole I made. I fire through the hole destroying the Goliaths that fly though. This won't stop all of them. They'll be smart enough to fly around. I turn to my right as sure enough one Goliath charges me from around the building. I point my lazer cannon and fire, but the Goliath manages to come close enough to attack me with a beam saber. The saber hits the cannon, the Lazer begins to glow red. Damn! I disconnect from the Lazer Cannon and toss it aside before flying back. The Lazer cannon explodes in mid air causing me to be launched back.

Build: Whew...(looks at arm) And there goes that weapon… How many are left?

Yand:(over comm) Build, only a few squads of Goliaths remain. But the force attacking the docks have pulled out to regroup. It looks like we only have a little time left. Hurry back to the base now!

Build:(looks down at the sea) Roger… Is their still No-

Mao:(cuts in) Mao reporting in, looks like my attack on the Artillery gave the civilians enough time huh?

Yang: Mao, good to hear you. Where are you right now?

Mao: Coming in on the Docks. Rin's also with me, it won't be long before we arrive.

Build:(looks back) Rin? That's good to hear. Tell her to meet up with me when we arrive at the base.

Mao: You got it. Meet you all back at base.

"Roger." I said before heading back towards the Docks.

We are Rin… A few minutes later...

I sit down with a bottle of water in one hand, in the other is Huian's phone. I crack open the bottle and quickly take a few chugs of water, I put down the bottle and take in everything. I look down at Huian's phone Screen is now cracked but still functional, with little charge left in the phone. "I heard what happened." Sento-Sensei said walking over and sitting down next to me. I clench the water bottle harger in my hand.

Rin:(shaking) Hey Sensei… I… I tried to sav- She was right in front of me. I… I couldn't do-

Sento:(hugs Rin) It's okay, it's okay. I'm right here. Focus on the people here, focus on the people who are still here. We can mourn the dead when this is over. Remember you're Mother and Father.

Rin:(pulls back) That's right! Mom and Dad?! What happened to them?

Yang:(walks over) Don't worry, your Mother and Father are currently safely away from China. But while the fleet is now safe from attack, they are unsure of where to go.

Rin:(looks at Yang) What do you mean?

Mao:(sighs) It means that even though we have managed to get the civilians to safety, the ships have limited supplies, they weren't able to stock up for a long trip over the seas. They could go to Japan but…

Sento:(looks at Mao) They would just get caught up in another war.(Mao nods) Same with Taiwan and Russia doesn't want anything to do with the conflict.

Yang: It's up to us now… Rin, did you manage to recover Huian's IS? We may be able to probe it for data.

I shake my head in silence. "I see… But we need something that can access the Tibet communications." Yang said, I stand up and walk over to Sento. "Hmm?" Sento said, looking at me. "I didn't want to recover the IS, but… I did get Huian's Phone, as well as this Data stick from a Tibet Soldier..." I said handing the phone and stick over to Sento, he takes it and turns it on and accesses the stick. Sento looks back at me, I stare at him. I'll remake our China, Huian. So that we can make a nation that others can smile and be proud. "Understood. Sento, see-" Yang begins.

Sento:(smiles) Already done.(shows HUD) This phone has full access to the network. I have already incorporated everything into our communications. Though from the looks of it, once we use it once, we have a limited window before they shut down our connection.

Mao:(looks at Sento) Meaning we need to deliver the message of the Goliaths quickly and in a way that brings everyone to our side. Maybe we should contact the pri-

Rin:(looks at Mao) I'll do it… People… They don't know who to trust. And they won't trust the Prime Minister, now matter how good he is.

Yang:(nods) She's right. If any of us do it, they won't believe us.

Sento:(crosses arms) I'm out of the question, I'm an outsider. Rin is our best option. We would also- Hold on.(EMP folds out) Look out, Mao.

Sento fires his EMP cannon hitting a cloaked Goliath and causing it to shut down. "I love the EMP cannon." Sento said with a smile on his face, he puts away the cannon. "Could have given us a heads up first." Mao said looking at Sento. "And risk making my brilliant self look like an idiot? No way." Sento said, waving his hand. Typical… Yang sighs.

Yang: Build, please take this situation seriously.

Build:(looks at Yang) Oh, I am. Rin is about to make one of the most important speeches ever and I don't want her cracking under the pressure. Which is why I'm trying to add some brevity to the situation.(looks at Goliath) And clearly some proper evidence.

I glance at the disabled Goliath. "Yeah… Thanks… I guess?" I said as everyone turned to the downed Goliath. "We should prepare." Mao said, walking over to the Goliath. "Hmm..." Sento mutters looking at his arm. "Something wrong?" I asked looking at the arm.

Build:(looking at arm) Well, the Laser cannon I had on was destroyed, but I'd like something to replace it.

Yang:(points to warehouse) Then check over there. We'll bring this Goliath into the camera room. Rin, meet us there when you are ready. Don't take too long.

I nod then Sento and I walk into the warehouse. We look through the items in the warehouse. "See anything useful?" I asked, glancing back at Sento who stares at a claw and a drill. "Oh, I think I do… Rin, grab some spare metal." Sento said rubbing his hands together. I know that look. "Do we even have time for this?" I asked again, walking over to pick up some metal.

Build:(smiles) I only need you to give me the metal, I can handle everything from there!

Rin:(sweatdrop) Right… I know that I can't stop you now… Here.(hands metal) I'll be off then...

Later… We are observers...

Troops begin to amass a kilometer away from the Docks. The troops are antsy holding their weapons. Pill walks out into the front of the army, Goliaths forming up behind him. Pill turns to his troops and begins to open his mouth before static begins echoing across the mics. TVs across the nation as well as every single communication device begins transmitting. "What now?" Pill said as he looked up at the large screen on the side of a building.

Rin:(appears on screen) To the People of China, hello… I am Lingyin Huang, a former IS Chinese Representative, but now I'm just another Chinese girl with no where to go. You are all probably expecting some speech about how Revolution must continue but… I'm sure all of you are tired of hearing that, I'm sure many of you just want somewhere to return home, but the thing is… That home you all want to return to, no longer exists. It doesn't exist so long as the Tibet Federation holds power over China, I'm sure as many of you are aware now, the Tibet Federation is no different than our old Chinese Government. Same with the other factions of China… I've struggled with wondering what I could do, if there was something worth fighting for. The China that many people want to return to… Is no different than the Tibet Federation right now. What I think all of you want more than anything, is peace… The peace I want to have is one where my family is happily making food on a busy street with people coming in and eating with similes on their faces, but none of us will have peace if we simply turn over and let the Tibet Federation take control… Please take a look at this.

The camera turns to a Goliath downed and on it's knees. The armor begins to shift and pull back as the chest cavity opens up revealing the brain and spine inside. People all over China are glued to their screens as they see the truth before their eyes. Their faces filled with shock, disgust, apathy, anger, and among others.

Rin: This is the Goliath, the Tibets newest weapon that they used to gain control of China… And as you can all see… It's a spine and a brain. It was just recently confirmed that this brain belongs to a child.(looks at the Camera) A CHILD! 10 years old! This is what happens to those who go against the Tibet Federation. Is this what we want? Do you want Muslim Concentration camps, suppression of the Media, a weak legal system, and now… Being turned into a soulless machine! Is this the China you all want to live in? One that forces everyone to live at gunpoint?! I can't accept that! We need a change, now more than ever. And not a change where we change leaders! We need to burn the old system to the ground and build something new in its place! I'm not going to promise actions that I can't keep… But if we take down the Tibet Federation, then the new government we will create can be better. But if we are to do that, then we need to remember the mistakes of our old Governments. Learn from them instead of forgetting them. So I ask of you all, I don't care who you are, where you're form, your religion, skin color, anything! I simply ask that you help our fellow person though this, and help me tear down the old government that would have us turned into soulless machines! For a peace where we can worry over petty things! For a future where we can point out the government's problems and help fix them! Help me! For a new go-(cuts out)

The screen goes to static, as Tibet troops stand in silence. Pill simply sighs as he looks back at the Docks. "Well let's get this over with… Or do you all have a problem with it?" Pill said as he looked back at his troops. The Troops look up at Pill, anger on their faces. Pill sighs again. "Okay, you're funeral." Pill said snapping his fingers. "Scatter!" An officer shouts as all the human troops run for cover as the robotic and Smashes begin attacking the troops.

?:(from the sky) Hold on now! That's no way of treating the troops!

Pill:(groan) This again?

Build drops down form the sky, kicking up dust upon impact. A Goliath looks though the smoke, only to have a drill, drill straight through a Golaiths chest blowing it up. Another Goliath aims their lazer arm at the smoke, when the sound of shifting is heard before a claw reaches out and grabs a Goliath's head lifting it up, followed by a Railgun barrel being put against the chest. The Railgun fires off a shot destroying the Goliath. Finally, funnels fly out quickly dispatching the Smashes. Pill looks into the smoke, a drill starts up parting the smoke revealing Build with a new drill claw device on the right arm.

We are Sento

Build:(looks at Pill) Hello there.

Pill: Kamen Rider Build.

Build:(points drill) Sorry to add more salt to the wound, but your war ends here!

Pill:(Waves) Yeah, Yeah.(readies weapon) Let's just get this over with.

Build:(off guard) W-Wait… Wh-What? What kind of reaction is that?

"What?" Pill said. "You know what, forget it. Don't worry about it." I said, Pill shrugs before curling up into his ball form and charging at me. I put out my claw arm, reaching out to grab Pill while he is rolling. I manage a decent grip as I lift up Pill tossing him away into the side of a building. "Everyone! Charge! Leave Pill to me!" I shout before launching after Pill. The Hong Kong troops jump over the barrier and begin to battle the robots and Goliaths. Now, the last person I'm waiting on is Rin herself.

We are Rin

Cameraman:(looks up from camera) We've been locked out.

Mao:(waves arms) Okay, that's a wrap everyone!

I let out a sigh as I slowly fell down to my knees. Mao walks over to and kneels down to look at me. "Are you okay Rin?" Mao asks me, I look up at her and nod. "Yeah, just that was..." I look down at the ground. "The most nerve wracking thing, ever!~" I exclaim looking up at the roof. Mao chuckles and pats me on the shoulder. "Come on soldier. We have one last thing to do before we relax." Mao said as she put out her hand, I took her hand. Mao lifts me up to my feet and gestures to follow her. I follow her as we pass though several halls and into the IS repair bay. We walk over to an IS being overhauled… My IS. A barrier of energy surrounds my IS as the armor and weapons are repaired, with Huian's blade and shield being incorporated into the overhaul.

Rin:(looks at Mao) Let me guess,(smiles) Sento?

Mao:(looks at IS) He's been working on since the Goliath autopsy.(crosses arms) Amazing he did it so fast.

Rin: Naw, knowing him. He's been working on this from the moment he stepped in China.

"Is that so?... Well, He told me to hand this to you when you are done." Mao said, handing me a note. I take the note and open it up reading it's contents, instructions on how to activate the new functions as well as detailed instructions on how to use them. Of course he would know how to phrase it to make it easier for me to understand. I walk over to my IS placing my hand on it… "I'm going to count on you again… Partner." I said with a smile, the overhaul is completed and the IS reverts to its standby mode. I take it and strap it on. "The ShenLong, Custom." I said as I turned to leave hearing an explosion rock the building.

Mao:(looks at Rin) We need to hurry! All the robot units are attacking both sides!

Rin:(running over) Well, good to know my words reached them. Let's hurry then!

Mao:(nods) Right, let's go!

We rush to exit the building. "Mao! Rin! Over here!" A worker said opening the door out to the balcony. "Good luck out there!" He said, giving me a thumbs up. "Thanks!" Mao said we ran out onto the balcony and prepared to take off. "Lingyin… Thanks for saying those words." The worker said getting our attention.

Worker: I… I think everyone needed to hear those words. We do need to remake the system, so good luck both of you! And thank you!(heads inside)

Mao:(smiles) Let's do this Rin… For the rebirth of China.(puts out knuckle) For Huian.

Rin:(nods) Right,(bumps knuckle) For Huian…(wisper) You too… Kasumi.

Mao and I activate our IS's as the armor materialises on to us. A feeling of energy wells up from inside me, I feel a determination to succeed. Mao and I fly off towards the frontlines.

We are Build

I jump backwards to dodge an incoming explosive. Pill is difficult enough to deal with alone with his mobility, but these Goliaths aren't helping! I dodge again, aiming my EMP cannon at the Goliath in the air and shooting it down. The Goliath's eyes turn dark as it falls to the ground, when it hits the ground, Pill tilts right to dodge the Goliath causing a slip and making Pill return to his human form.

Build:(looks at Pill) I'm amazed you can deal with being scrunched up into something that small. Doesn't your back hurt at all after being like that?

Pill:(sighs) Oh it hurts alright.(stretches back) In fact, I've had to use this mode lightly, not for any medical reason. More to just ensure my back doesn't break under the stress…

Build: You know, maybe they should have grabbed a contortionist for your armor instead of… You.

Pill: Well, no contortionist exists in our ranks, not that it matters.

Build: … You know, I have always wondered… Who are you? I checked MI5 and Interpols records but I couldn't find anything on you.

Pill:(scoffs) Of course they don't, by old China never records those who aren't born normally.

"W-Wait then, are you-" I begin to say before Pill opens fire on me I dodge and duck into cover. I had heard that China had a hand in making Lab Babies with Germany. That branch made super soldiers like Laura… But by the time the IS was introduced, China moved on to the Goliath Project. "Don't just sit there and monologue to yourself!" Pill shouts blasting open my cover. I fly out of the way dodging the shots. So this explains why he wants to fight us. No point in pity at this point. I aim my weapons and our firefight starts.

We are Rin

I drop onto the battlefield and quickly charge though the drones and robots. "Eat this you soulless robots!" I shout cutting them down. It doesn't matter how many are in my way! I'll cut them all down! With my Twin plasma blades I cut though IS's easily. "Rin! 3'A clock!" Mao warns me. I jump back dodging the Goliaths beam attack, I bring up my right arm, as my energy shield deploys as I rush into cover. Jumping into cover, I bring my shoulder cannons up above cover to shoot at the Goliaths. Knocking the Goliath down, more and more Mechs approach. It's like a sea of robots coming towards us. Soldiers flee for cover as more and more charges towards our barrier.

Soldier 1: It's no use! No matter how many we shoot down or destroy, they just keep coming.

Soldier 2: What do we do!? What do we do?!

Mao:(stands up) Don't give up everyone! We can't lose to these soulless machines!

Rin:(stares down army) … I refuse… To run away anymore!

I launch up into the air, shooting my cannons turing Guardians, and weak IS's into molten metal. I drop down combining my new twin plasma blade I cut through a Guardian IS's shields. The Goliaths and IS's all point their weapons at me and fire. "Engage Set up!" I shout as they all fire at me at once.

We are observer

"Rin!" Mao shouts from behind cover as dust blocks the view from others. Mao silently watches from a distance, the Goliaths and Guardians stare into the dust. As the dust begins to settle, light begins shining though. As more and more of the dust clears, a blue ring of energy swirls around Rin. The ShenLong's armor begins to detach as the armor modifies itself.

Rin:(smiles) Oh, how I've wanted to say this… ShenLong Mark 4, Build up!

The new ShenLong covers the entire body. The helmet is designed like a dragon's head. The forehead and eyes are on a sliding plate, the jaw is jagged like sharp teeth, the left and right sides of the jaw can connect together or slide back. Atop the head is a pair of horns on the forehead. On the chest plate is another face with horns reaching past the neck. The shoulders are long triangles, with a single navette shape gem on each shoulder, with the space underneath the shoulder that pasts the arm having flexible neon strips. Three stripes line each shoulder and wraps around the gauntlets, underneath is thin round armor plating gauntlets. The waist has skirting armor that can fold out into cannons underneath, on the back of the waist is a rack that holds twin blades. The thigh armor has built in EMP generators on each side, the legs themselves are the same with a few additional thrusters, say for the knee armor that reaches the ankles, halfway up the thigh, and tilted down towards the ankle. The feet are partly raised up with thrusters on the soles.

Rin:(smiles) Sorry for the sudden wardrobe change.(serious face) But now,(helmet closes up) no more playing around.

Mao:(shocked) Whoa… Talk about upgrades…

Rin:(takes out blade) I'm putting you all to rest!(blades activate) So don't resist!

We are Rin

I fly straight ahead, before launching up into the air. As I drop down, I connect my blades together, slamming down on the ground I swing cutting multiple Guardians and Goliaths at once. Here we go! I charge down in a line cutting through robots. I turn back around, my skirt cannons fold out, the shoulder armor navette slides open, I fire at all robots, they all explode in a brilliant flame. My sensors detect Goliaths coming in from behind, I glance behind me seeing 2 in my immediate view with their weapons at the ready. "Unwind and block!" I exclaim as the Neon strips on my arms unwind and reach out blocking the Goliaths attacks. I turn around to face 4 Goliaths. So two more were just out of my view. These new Neon Strips are neat! The Goliaths continuing fire at me, the strips create shields that deflect the incoming fire. Wonder what else they can do? Once the barrage of fire from the Goliaths stops, I drop the shields. Setting the Strips into attack mode they extend out, the tips of the strips shoot long thin plasma blades, cutting straight through the metal alloy of the Goliaths. Several Goliaths launch into the air to avoid the blades. You won't escape! I launch into the air to chase after the Goliaths.

Rin: Get back here! I'm not done with you!

Mao:(stands up) Rin!...(looks at ground) Everyone.(turns to everyone.) No time to waste! Tibet soldiers, can anyone show me to the base?

Soldier 4:(steps up) I can show you, I have the codes too. Not 100% sure that it will be empty.

Mao:(shrugs) Fewer the better, I need a team to stay here.(point to soldier 4) I'll be needing you, get your squad together we're moving out now!

Soldier 4:(nods) Roger, you heard her! Get your asses in gear! Let's go!

Soldiers: Yes sir!

We are Rin

Flying though the sky, I charge straight at a Goliath. The Goliath I'm charging at points it's arm cannon at me. I drop down and throw a strip at the Goliath's leg, snagging it I swing down and around the Goliath and up towards another Goliath. I throw a strip snagging the second one, once right at the center of the two I fly backwards pulling the two Goliaths together. They smash into each other, then I blast the two destroying them. But from the explosion another Goliath flies though and charges at me. I fly up dodging the Goliath, I quickly spin in mid air the Strip blade cleaves straight though the Goliath. I look dead ahead, to see three Goliaths in a row.

Rin:(flies straight forward) Lining up to die now?! Don't worry! Your pain ends now!

Goliath:(firing) ELIMINATE.

Rin:(brings up blades) Be at peace!

I quickly cut through the three Goliaths down, as I dropped down towards the ground. The Robots below train their guns on me and fire.

We are Observer

Explosions ring out in the distance as Rin charges at the Robot hoard. On the ground, a small piece of pebbles begin to shake as Pill rides across the ground. Pill then jumps up launching at Build, to which Build uses his drill and claw attachment to block Pill's charge. As Pill grinds against the body of the drill, Build points his EMP cannon and fires at Pill blasting him away. Pill breaks out of his roller form as he lies on the ground, Pill struggles to move inside the armor. Build pointed his Railgun at Pill and fires at him, Pill points his gun at the ground below him. "Steambreak! Pill Bug!" Pill blows up the ground sending him flying up, the impact sends Pill high enough to dodge the Railgun's round to miss and hit the ground.

We are Build

Pill:(suit reactivates) Ouch…

Build:(backs up) Man, got to give you credit. Altho, I guess I should have expected that, considering how little you seem to value your life.

Pill:(stands up) So long as my objective is completed, I care little for- Well, no need to repeat myself.

Build:(sighs) Dialogue with you is way to plain…

Pill just silently stares at me. I can just feel his eyebrow rising in confusion. I wave my hand. "Forget it." I said, I pointed my missile launcher at Pill and fire. Pill quickly shoots the missile as it launches, destroying the launcher… Shit. "You know, those weapons are way too exposed. Considering what you did in England, I'm amazed." Pill sarcastically said. Oh yeah, NOW he's sassy. "Well excuse me for making this armor in a Rush!" I exclaim moving back in swinging my claw at Pill, grabbing his arm I raise my fist to punch Pill. Pill proceeds to unload his gun into the railgun. Shit it's going to blow! Unlocking the straps on my arm, the Railgun lanches off my arm. Jumping back I make some distance as the Railgun blows up in my face. Switching the claw to its drill mode, I go back in though the smoke of the blast. As the smoke parts on the other side, I see Pill reaches around to his back, as something folds out. It attaches into the left arm, Pill swings out his left arm. The thing that attached onto the arm… The wheel?! The wheel part begins to spin, creating a spiral that begins to glow. Plasma? Pill swings his arm sending a wheel of plasma at me. I dodge to the side, only to have the hand and drill-claw sliced off.

Build:(purges damage parts) Tch! Damn, that wheel part can detach?! I didn't know you could do that!

Pill:(wheel stops spinning) Good to keep a few tricks hidden huh?

Build: You know… Fair enough.

Pill: Well, now you're pretty much unarmed… So do us all a favor and just surrender.

Build: That or run away. Fortunately I don't have to do either.

"What?" Pill asks as he looks to his left to see Rin charging at him. The wheel on his arm begins to spin to create a shield, when a neon wire grabs the wheel and tears it off. Rin's left shoulder armor gem opens blasting Pill into a wall. Rin lands next to me carrying a torn off Goliath Arm. "Hey Sensei, need a hand?" Rin said as her helmet mask folds away. "Or would you prefer the Arm instead?" Rin said, handing me the arm. "I prefer the arm thanks." I said taking the arm, breaking off what was the chest joint, I attached it onto my exo-skeleton. I quickly run through systems to see if there is anything I need to do… Nope.

Build:(stands up) Also nice timing. You're getting the hang of that suit faster than I thought.(helmet folds away) Perhaps thanks to my instructions?

Rin:(shrugs) Eh, I only skimmed most of it.(points at self) I'm pretty good and feeling this kind of stuff out!

Build:... But… how do you skim a no-(turns away) I'm taking away my previous complement.

Rin:(puffing cheeks) You're no fun sometimes!

Pill:(pulling self out) If you're done with your banter. I'm still alive.

"And without your weapons." I stated, my helmet folding back on. Rin waves his weapons in front of Pill. "You're unarmed, defenceless and without your robots to help you. Surrender." Rin said, her helmet folding back on. Pill stands up and dusts himself off.

Pill:(looks at Build) Considering you put your helmets back on. I guess you're assuming I have one last card to play.

Rin:(points blade) You Phantom Task guys usually have a few tricks that we don't know!

Pill: How perceptive.

I get an alert from my radar telling me of incoming missiles. "Missiles! Get back!" I shout jumping back. Rin jumps back too, just dodging missiles that crash just around Pill. "I was born on this land as a puppet." Pill begins, as he walks through the smoke. "I will raise this land to the ground if it's the last thing I do!" Pill shouts, putting his arms and legs out. "Dài wǒ, èmó." Pill exclaims as claw wires pierce through Pill's arms and legs. All before dragging him into the smoke.

Rin:(stands up) Hey… Sensei… What the hell is that?!

Build:(stands up) Best I can tell, some kind of up scaled Goliath.

Pill: Awaken… Porphyrion!

Pill parts the smoke with his large metal hand. I'm right… bar the internals the whole outside of the suit is just a larger version of the Goliath suits… "Now… You will all die! With China! Not a single remnant will remain!" Pill shouts as slots all over the suit open up and fire upon us. "Move!" Rin shouts as we fly away. Pulling away further into the city, we duck behind several tall buildings while dodging all of the incoming fire from Pill.

Build:(ducks into cover) Well… This has escalated quickly…

Rin:(ducks into cover) What the hell? Where did he get this large mech from?

Build:(looking up) Best guess? Likely somewhere in the stratosphere, just out of reach of most eyes but close enough not to get burnt up in the atmosphere.(leans around the corner) Hmm?... all of the weapon systems are powering down?

Rin:(looks over) What? I figured it would already be on us…

Build: Normally, yes. But from the looks of it, it can't move without diverting all of it's power to movement… I see, now I get it.

Rin:(leans over) What? What is it Sensei?

Build: Rin, do you remember the reason why large Mechs like that are mostly impractical on the battlefield?

Rin: ...Well, it has something to do with power and managing the weight of the mech right?

Build: Bingo, from the looks of it while the power issue is likely solved with lots of Full Bottles, there isn't enough for the hydraulics all at once. So power needs to be transferred between systems. Still, with something that big, I wouldn't be surprised if the reactor didn't have over 100 bottles. I wonder why the suit needs to cycle between systems? With how many bottles there are one false move could cause a massive explosion to go off. So, why?

Rin: Maybe Phantom Task still wants that data from this so dialed back to keep the entire mech from being eviscerated… Hey! I think I have a plan to take out this big thing without blowing it up.

"I'm listening." I said looking at Rin. Rin peeks around the corner to look at the mech as it walks down the street. "This thing has it's shields down when moving. Then we just have to aim for the joints!" Rin suggested I take a look at the joints themselves. "Might not be that easy, it looks like the joints are shielded." I noted looking at the joints. "You gave me EMPs for this reason right?" Rin states, the thigh armor opening. "Right, okay so I'll draw it's attention to keep it in one place then you attack the joints. Once we bring it down, we drag out Pill and this will all be over… Hopefully." I muttered.

Rin: Yea- Wait.(looks at Build) What do you mean by "Hopefully?"

Build: I'm just… Considering the possibility that he might just blow us up.

Rin: Why do you think we are trying to disable him!

"Right, right. I shouldn't think about it." I said, I take a deep breath and exhale. "We have the formula for victory." I started gesturing before launching up into the air. Pulling into view of Pill, I use the newly replaced Goliath arm to fire at Pill, the shot hits the armor and melts a portion. Looks Minimal shielding huh? "Watch it now. One wrong shot and you- I suppose you have figured by this point." Pill said though the comm. Well I still need to confirm something.

Build: Just out of curiosity, how am I sure you aren't just going to blow me up?

Pill: Heh, well. If I really did want to just blow myself. Wouldn't it just be better to just make a bomb, despite what I said, I don't plan on dying. I rather die when this place is barren and dead.

Build:(flying up) Well, that explains why you haven't blown us up yet… But talk about a lonely end.

Pill: Better an end I chose for myself, rather than being surrounded by mindless drones with no will of their own!

Pill opens fire on me, I quickly start to dodge. "No arguments there!" I shout flying around in the air dodging the projectiles. I guess that bullet hell game Kanzashi dragged me out to play is paying off! I drop down and fall back into a building. I pull up Rin's camera to see what she's doing. I watch as she gets into position under the Porphyrion. "Did you think I really wouldn't notice you?!" Pill shouts at Rin, as smaller guns hidden on the underside of the body open fire on Rin. The Neon strips lunge in the way and deflect the rounds.

Rin:(charges in) Too bad that won't stop me! Haaaa~!

Charging in close, the EMP's on the thigh discharge causing the shields around the leg parts to deactivate. "Eat this!" Rin shouts blasting her shoulder cannons into the joins weakening them. Rin then flies at the joint, quickly swinging her blades slicing through the joint. The leg splits off and the Porphyrion begins to fall. It crashes into the streets as the body is heavily damaged by the crash. Rin flies over to the chest area, I cut the camera as I exit back outside. "Pill! Come out!" Rin shouts, the Porphyrion brings up it's arm to grab Rin. "Rin! EMP! Now!" I shout flying at the Porphyrion. Rin discharges a blast knocking out the arm joint. I grab the grenades off the sides of my legs and toss them at Porphyrion, then deploy small wings as thrusters activate, sending them into the joint weakening the link of the arm. Now for the finishing touch! I point the sole of the leg at the joint, the cover on the foot breaks off deploying a steel stake. I smash through the joint damaging the left leg construction but the arm drops down.

Rin:(looks over) Soo~... The Left arm won't try and attack us too?

Build:(flies up) Yup, judging from the quick scans I made. The left arm and right leg joints are damaged, crushed under the weight of the rest of the body. The square cube law at work once again.

Rin: Wow… Still, Pill must still be inside their… Time to drag that man out of this cage!(priming weapons) Now… Le-

Build: Rin!(pulls up HUD) Let's not do anything that might accidently blow up a good chunk of China.(activates consol) Their.

The chest cavity opens, as the wires holding Pill come out of him causing him to drop to the ground. Me and Rin train our weapons on Pill as he slowly pushes himself up. "Genming! Surrender!" Rin orders Pill. Pill moves to stand up, when he pulls out a black bottle. "That's!" I exclaim. "With this Hazard Bottle, China, Dies by my hand!" Pill shouts inserting the bottle into the Steam Gun and points it at what I can assume is where the reactor is. "We need to sto-" I begin to say, when Rin flies in, throwing a strip that grabs Pills arm and points away from the chest. Rin flies down and quickly chops off Pill's right arm. Oh, Revenge of the Sithed… Rin points her blade at Pill. "It's over Genming.(helmet folds away) Give up." Rin orders Pill, as Rin kicks away the Steam Gun.

Pill: Never, China is at an end and I refuse to let anything new be born from the ashes!

Rin: Look around Genming!(looks around) It's already over! The City is torn to shreds, and people all over are revolting. There is no point in fighting anymore.

Pill:(scoffs) I don't want to see what comes next. You'll just have to kill me. Champion of Old China.

Rin brings her blade up to Pills throat. Rin… After a few moments, she drops her blade.

Rin:(holsters blade) You mistake me. Maybe that was Old China, but… It's time for something new. And that starts with you being put behind bars. You will see the new China that's born from the ashes. Maybe then you'll change your mind. And if you still don't like it. Talk to people instead of shooting next time, huh?

Whew~ I begin to lower myself to the ground. "Rin, can you grab the Steam Gun? I want to run a few tests on the Hazard Bottle." I ask, as Rin goes to grab it a web grabs the gun as it's pulled up and into the hands of Arachnid. "Sorry, Senpai. But unfortunately I still need to cut my ties." Arachnid said, firing the gun. "Hazard Shot!" The power destroys the barrel of the Steam Gun as the shot hits the reactor. "Good bye." Arachnid said disappearing. I pull up the Porphyrion's systems. Damn.

Rin:(flies up) Sensei? Please tell me she didn't.

Build:(sigh) She did. It's been ruptured, it only gives us a 10 minute window before the reactor blows up.

Rin: W-Well what do we do!?

Build:(looking though systems)... Hmm… Please tell me they still have enough- Yes!(taps buttons on console) The thrusters still work. Only the chest ones tho. But that's good enough. Rin! Make some space.

Rin moves aside as I fly down to the chest of the Porphyrion. "What are you going to do?" Rin asks me. "What else? Fly this thing into the air. The chest thrusters alone won't be enough, but the Goliath Striker will compensate." I said activating all of my thrusters. Me and the chest piece begin to lift up, the remaining limbs break off due to weight. As the load on the chest drops the easier it gets to fly up. After 3 minutes of building up speed, I fly past the tallest of the city's buildings.

Rin:(over comm) Sensei, please tell me you're aren't planning on dying!

Build:(scoffs) Rin please. I just need to wait for my Funnels to return to me, then I can just detach from the Striker once it gains enough speed. This is just a larger exo-skeleton on top the suit remember?

Rin: Ah! So you can just eject off from the suit!

"Bingo!..." I said as I passed the ozone layer, and up into the stratosphere. Just a little further… My Funnels catch up, as I approach the Mesosphere. This is my stop! Thank you Goliath Striker, it's been a pleasure. The joints on the armor unlock as I jump off. My Funnels reattach as I fly down to the surface watching the armor and the Porphyrion fly up. It starts to reach the Thermosphere the Porphyrion blows up. Whew… I slowly drop down past the Ozone Layer, at that altitude, I notice Nebula Gas particles begin to glitter. Hmm? I run scans… Interesting… I look around as colors begin to fill up the Ozone Layer as it sparkles like a beautiful rainbow.

Back on the ground… We are Observers

Eyes are turned to the sky as what could only be described as a sparkling Aurora Borialis fills China's sky. Through all the fighting and death, it draws all attention to the sky.

We are Sento

Landing back on the ground I'm met by Rin. "Sensei!.. What is this?" Rin asks looking at the sky. I pull up an image. "The Nebula Gas is reacting with the CO2 in the air, it's eating the carbon in the air over China." I explain removing the bottles from my belt. "Rin, what you're seeing right now..." I look up at the sky.

Sento: The Nebula gas is repairing the Atmosphere. The Negula Gas will continue to eat the carbon in the air for years to come. China's environment is sure to become cleaner.

Rin:(staring up) It's… Beautiful.

Sento:(walks over to Rin) This is a fresh start for China. Not just for the people, but the environment too. Let's enjoy this...
