Note: the Mk VII's design is a hybrid combination of design of the real Mk VII from the Avengers and the Rocket Angel from Command & Conquer Red Alert 3. Basically the Mk VII is attached with Rocket Angel wing designs plus its Swarm Pods (Multi Missile) weaponry. Its transforming nature is based from Transformers.
Dr. Broccoli's robot army is based on the designs of the Super Battle Droid from Star Wars. The ranking systems were also based on the said universe. Yellow markings means the rank of a Commander.
Silence, absolute silence, the bright sunny day, birds flew around; the wind blows gently the fields of Ooo. If one can cross the vast fields, they will feel tranquillity and peace. The best place to relax and enjoy the landscape. Now the tranquillity was nothing but ashes as the once peaceful grasslands were not littered by the remnants of war and chaos. The soft grass is now gone, as dirt, and boot marks that goes everywhere is evident.
And it doesn't stop there, in a few moments, the worlds will clash again as Ooo's Coalition faces off an unknown enemy who just appeared like daisies overnight.
CLASH! CRASH! The sound of destruction was heard again as the two factions clashed once more. Machines were sent flying, some were crushed, skewered, and cut in half. This time, few of the coalition went down, stabbed to submission.
Bonnibel and Finn once again stood side by side, as they battled out the machines, giving each other cover. To her surprise, her weariness suddenly vanished as she found herself stronger, and faster. Everything was light, her sword, her rifle, her science suit armor, and her movements. She stopped sweating, her bubblegum hair dance with the wind as she move her body in a dance like pattern, blocking then slashing, dodging and countering machine's attacks. All the time, Finn watched her back, giving her cover as best as he could.
Flame Princess, on the other hand took most concentrated force of machines, it was not a problem, her army is also trained to face overwhelming numbers of enemies. Her soldiers stabbed the machines, and use their fire to burned them into crisps. They even combined their attacks with the banana guards, one hapless robot was skewered by a four guards, two spears from the banana guards, and two from the fire guards. Two for two.
The fire elemental, like Bonnibel, dance her way through the machines, her both hands, converted into a heated swords, slashed through metallic armor like hot knife through butter. Not even got close as her brother also got her back, even if it wasn't necessary.
"Brother, help the others. Support the candy forces!" she said to his brother as she cut down a group of machine with the use of her fire swords.
He nodded and rally a detachment of the fire guards to support Bonnibel's flank, ther rest went to follow Flame Princess.
Marceline, Jake, Susan and the Marauders held the left flank, they are holding off the machines who were trying to flank them, things were very bad as one by the one the Marauders went down, injured. Several banana guards went to help but it wasn't enough.
"UGH! Can't these guys ever quit!?" Marceline said as she threw her axe base in front of her, cutting down a row, then uses her repulsor blaster to blast more machines before her axe came back to her.
"You can say that again!" Jake replied, as he crush a group with his enlarge hands throwing it towards Susan who caught it with her strong fist.
"To many to fight, we cannot win this!" Susan said, she was already sweating hard, soaking her cat hat. She crushed one of the robot's head and uses its body as a baseball bat, hitting the others hard.
"DANG IT! We cannot keep this up, my folks are going down one by one! Hang on not too much roughhousing!" the Marauder chieftain ordered his men as he saw one of them fall down, clutching his wounded sword arm.
"Keep it together, if we fail, others will lose!" Jake said, as he enlarge his arms and swept off the closest machines, sending them flying. Susan backed him up by sending her fist at the machine that tries to flank Jake.
"Thanks" he said.
Then suddenly to everyone's surprise the machines stop fighting and immediately retreated, making another line at the nearby hill in front of them. Bonnibel look at them confused. She ordered her force to hold and do not pursue, she knew it was a trap to follow.
"What's going on?" Finn asked.
Bonnibel shook her head, "I don't know, but I don't like this." She gripped her sword tightly. Everyone else did the same, but they can't help wonder at their enemies' actions. Flame Princess glared at the machines,
"What are they waiting for? They are just standing there, let's go!" she said as she prepares her army to attack. Bonnibel stopped her.
"Wait! Did you hear that?" she said.
"What?"
"Listen everyone." She said as she heard a faint whistling sound.
Everyone also listened, the whistling became louder by the second until...BOOM! Dirt, mud, and metallic debris flew everywhere as the first explosion hits 50 meters in front of them. she didn't need to hear it the second time.
"INCOMING!" she said as another whistling sound grew louder then another explosion hits the ground, then again, then again. Her force began to panic. Marceline and Flame Princess went ahead of the force and formed a mixture of dark and fire force fields to deflect the barrage of explosions.
"TAKE COVER EVERYONE!" she roared, as she herded back her coalition to the trenches for cover.
"Hurry up Bonnie, we can't hold this much longer!" Marceline said as she winced a little. The fire elemental beside her is now breaking a sweat. Every explosions made the two women stepped back, the field is getting smaller and smaller.
"Give me a couple of minutes!" Bonnibel replied as she and Finn ushered the terrified banana guards to the trenches.
"That's it were in!" she finally announced after five minutes. Everyone was dug in and keeping their heads down.
"ON the count of three!" Marceline ordered to the fire elemental beside her, who nodded.
"ONE"
"TWO"
"THREE! NOW!" at the same time, they dropped their shields and flew back as fast as they could toward the trenches. Jake both grabbed and covered them just in time as the shells hit again. Finn shield Bonnibel with his body, as they both covered their ears due to the deafening sounds of explosions. They could feel the shockwaves of each blast.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The explosions rocked the trenches, the soldiers were scared, praying to Glob, muttering, stammering, and shaking hands.
'Not leaving your side, not leaving your side, not leaving your side, not leaving your side,' Finn repeatedly thought as he held Bonnibel beneath him, the explosions kept coming. He was thinking that a shell would hit them directly. But none fell as the barrage suddenly stopped. The silence was followed by the shaking of the ground as if an earthquake is happening. They look up as they saw a line of tanks forming up on the hill, behind the robots.
The banana guards gasped as they saw the formidable tanks line up, Flame Princess, Jake and the rest just glared. "Great, just great!" Bonnibel growled in frustration. Then she called her thump cards into play. "Candy squadron, release the sugar, release the sugar now!" she said.
Immediately the candy copters flew pass overhead, lining up into firing positions then unleashing their wrath with their candy auto cannons. The first line of tanks were exploded. The Banana guards cheered and Bonnibel smirk, but the celebration was cut short when suddenly one of the helicopters exploded, Sending it spiralling out of control.
"Mayday, mayday! This is Candy 4 we are hit, we are hit! We are going down!" the radio crackled before meeting static as the helicopter crashed in the nearby forrest before exploding.
"Evasive manoeuvres! Evade! Evade!" the squadron leader ordered as the helicopters took evasive manoeuvres, evading the stream of fire coming from behind the tanks. Another explosion was heared.
"AH! Were hit! Were hit! AHH! Candy 6 is going down! Repeat Candy 6 is going down!" another pilot screamed over the radio.
"All copters retreat! Retreat!" Bonnibel scream of her comlink, she watch in horror as another candy copter was shot down. They saw a stream of fire coming from behind the hill, they cannot see the source from their point of view.
"DANG IT!" she slammed her fist to the ground, her teeth clenched in anger. Her only thrump card gone and destroyed. By now the fight is now a standstill.
"Hey, we are still here Peebles, we are still here" Finn said as he held her clenched fist. Immediately she cooled down and she smiled. Taking a deep breath she said
"We have to find out those guns who will take out the copters, we need them back in the game."
Flame Princess spoke up, "I will draw their fire, Marceline move in fast and take them out"
"Hey you can't boss me around!" Marceline complained, earning a glare from both Finn and Bonnibel. Defeated she sighed, "Okay, you got it!"
"We need also to take the pressure off Flame Princess... so not all of the tanks are going to focus on her." Finn said rubbing his chin.
Jake raised his hand, "that's the job for the rest of us, we need to clash the robots head on, hard and fast. I bet the tanks wouldn't dare shoot are their own comrades right?"
"Still it's suicide to ran up to them, without shields." Bonnibel said, Marceline just chuckled at her.
"See that's the idea, confusion, Flame Princess and I will move in first, making sure that their attention is on us. Giving you time to move in, hopefully your legs are fast enough." Smiling a little smugly. "We are going to make sure that they are confused whether to point their guns up or down." The fire elemental added.
Running out of options and small chance of success Bonnibel agreed with a nod. "Let's do this." Finn and the others informed their plan at the rest of the Coalition.
"HA! You think you're the only one who can play tango!? Two can play that game sister!" Blargetha said as she overlooks the battle above her super tank. She just witnesses the destruction of two of Bonnibel's candy copters. Her position is located at back of the lines, behind her is more than 200 robots in reserve and two dozen slime tanks.
"I knew these tanks are very helpful." She said as she eyed the Slime Anti Air Tanks behind the main line of Slime battle tanks. These tanks are specialising at dealing with air targets, its quad cannon can tear any object to shreds. If Bonnibel didn't order her copters to pull out, her entire air fleet will be obliterated in mere seconds.
"I wonder what they are planning to?" she said but saying "Oh well might as well crushed them now, while they are weak." she picked up her radio.
"Commander, advance the troops crush them all." She said with authority.
"Roger, roger" the machine reply, Blargetha look again she saw her force advancing slowly followed by the tanks. She smirked, she was already sure that victory will come soon. With a thought in mind, she contacted Dr. Broccoli.
"Honey, The Princess' forces is almost finished, victory is now upon us. Come here to see it." She said sweetly, he head Dr. Broccoli snickered in amusement.
"That's great, just keep them busy and crush them. I am already nearing my objective."
"Okay be careful" she said sweetly.
"You too, I gotta go." He hung up and maintains radio silence to avoid Beemo's radar.
"It's funny to think that Iron Princess is not appearing or the Princess Bubblegum never used it in battle. I wonder, but it doesn't matter. She made a foolish move not to use it." She said to herself as she observes the battle more, overconfident that she will crush Bonnibel and her pitiful force once and for all.
However Blargetha's overconfidence gave a small initiative on Bonnibel's side. Since now the her forces are moving forward, Bonnibel and the others were given shorter fields to ran across from, giving them short time to engage the machine is close combat and removing the tank's advantage. The only thing they have to do is execute this plan perfectly in order to succeed.
"Well what do you know?" Bonnibel smirked. As she saw the advancing machines. She turned to others "on my orders!" everyone readied themselves, Finn stood by her side.
The human leaned his head to hers whispering "Whatever happens, I want to say I love you"
A tear escape her eye as she looked at him, they knew this is it. "Me too" she smiled, Finn wiped away her tear. She clenched her plasma sword tightly. The machine were now 60 feet from them.
She raised her sword, Finn followed her. "ATTACK!" she shouted as loud as she could before getting up and charge at the advancing army. The rest followed her suit, aiming their weapons dead on to the machines. As they clashed the machines, the tanks stood idly, they wouldn't dare fire their guns while their comrades are fighting close and personal.
At the same time, Flame Princess flew up high above the battle in order to find these tanks that shot down Bonnibel's helicopters also of drawing it's fire. Marceline watched her ready to strike when the fire elemental successfully draw its fire. It didn't take long as Flame Princess was being targeted by another stream of blaster fire, the fire elemental flew around completely drawing the AA (Anti-Air) tanks attention.
With that the vampire move in low and fast carrying her axe bass tightly as she flew her way towards the AA tanks, cutting down any hapless robot that cross her way. Until she reached the back of the line, a row of tanks just staying idle, their guns pointed at the coalition. Thanks to Marceline's new upgrade, her suits is cloaked visibly, invisible to the naked eye.
Soon enough, she reached the AA tank lines. They were 10 of them line up, their quad cannons are focused on the fire elemental above them. A few robots were guarding them. Marceline took a deep breath, her HUD is scanning the best route to make a pass across the line. She position herself behind the tanks for she knew the fuel and engines were located there. A well timed slash can destroy the tanks immediately.
Finally she finds her target she moved in fast and deadly. She slashed the first tank, hitting the engine and the fuel tanks. It immediately exploded, she moved in to the next one. She misses as the slash only it the engine, making the tank immobile. She calculated her attacks in mere nanoseconds as she slashed the rest of the tanks destroying them one by one. Once she was done, she flew up high to assess the situation, only one tank remains. The tank then turned its attention to her, but before it fires it was destroyed by a fire blast. She looked to see Flame Princess smiling at her,
"Thanks" she said embarrassingly.
"No problem now let's thin up the crowd" she said, as she blast the tanks on the rear line. The others tries their best, to shoot them down, but their cannons were not design to shoot down air units.
Meanwhile Bonnibel saw the series of explosions behind the enemy's line, her expression lit up a little, though she keeps focus on cutting down the machines that come after her. "Finn Cover me!"
"You got it!" he said as he put himself between her and the machines.
"Candy squadron this princess Bubblegum, the guns are down! I repeat the guns are down!" she said over the noise of war.
A few seconds of silence then her radio crackles to life. "Roger that Princess, were handle things from here." The pilot said, immediately the sound of helicopters were heard, Bonnibel's coalition keep the machines from retreating. A portion of Banana guard cavalry manage to flank the machines from the left. Soon the helicopters arrive and they took out the remaining tanks, they didn't stand a chance. The machines were next in their sights, soon Blargetha's attack force were utterly obliterated.
The look of sheer shock and horror were evident on Blargetha's face as she saw the sudden turn of tides against her. "It's not possible!" she said frustrated then she turned towards the robot commander besides her tank,
"Send your forces next! We can't let them push us back! My beloved's plans are not yet ready! "
Suddenly her radio crackled to life, "Actually, my plans are already in motion." The voice of Dr. Broccoli boomed out of its speaker.
"What my dear?"
"I've reached the Candy Kingdom, soon I will destroy this wretched place, her lab and her! Hang tight dear, keep them on their toes in there, tire them out, and let them suffer!" he said in a not so sickening tone. He really sucks at that.
"You got it handsome" Blargetha replied seductively, before the line went dead. "Send all of the frontline forces, crushed them all!" she ordered the commander.
"Roger, roger" the commander replied then ordered his forces, "all, front line units advance." All of the platoons on the front moved forward numbering to 600 robots followed by at least 50 tanks and 20 AA tanks.
Panting hard and sweating like hell, Bonnibel stood her ground. Her hands were slippery and soaking. She could feel that her sword could slip out of her hand any moment. Finn stood beside him, also breathing heavily. The entire machine force was destroyed, tanks were burning. The helicopters returned to their holding positions behind their lines.
The battle was over for now, the enemy took their toll but not without a few casualties themselves. 10 Marauders were injured, half of them were victims of shrapnel from the exploding tanks. 40 Banana guards were injured, and sadly 5 lost their lives. Flame Princess' forces also took their tolls as well for at least 20 of their troops lost their lives; most of them were hit directly by a stray tank shell.
Bonnibel sat on one of the wreckage of a robot, holding her crown and planting her sword on the war torn soil. Tears were falling from eyes. Finn sat besides her holding her shoulder. "Hey are you okay?" he asked.
She wiped away her tears with her arm and nodded "Yeah, I'm fine just tired" she said, but her voice lack its conviction.
"You're not..." his voice was plain simple, so simple that she broke down. She hugged him with all her might, and he held her back. "I know this is hard, but... we have to face it." He said as he eyed the dead soldiers, several Banana guards were crying as the others covered their dead comrades with white blankets. Finn knew that this is the source of her grief, she didn't want war, she didn't want chaos, and especially want death.
"I wasn't prepared for this..." she said, nuzzling her head on his shoulder, Finn pushed her away a bit.
"Not here Peebles, not here..." he whispered as he looked around, checking if anyone is looking at them.
"Sorry..." she broke away then continued, "I never wanted this to happen, I told myself that no one is dying today, but I failed..." a new fresh of tears began to fall from her face.
"Peebles this is war, there is always sacrifices. We can't bring them back, the best way we can do is to honour them by winning this war. If we win this, they will be happy in Glob world." He held her hands reassuring her .
Bonnibel took a deep breath as her tears finally stopped and she smiled. "Thanks Finn, you really know to light my life..." her eyes is glossy from the tears, Finn couldn't help but stare at her.
"You look so cute..." he said sweetly.
"Stop it! Not here!" she whispered in panic though her expression her lit up.
Just then Marceline landed in front of them Flame Princess was behind her. "Bonnie, you better get those shoes moving!" she said as she lifted her mask.
"What?"
Flame Princess interjected, "Princess, a second wave is attacking from the looks of it, it is a full force. Guess that witch is sending everything she got" she spat in annoyance.
Bonnibel took another deep breath as she stood up "Rally the troops."
With the remaining forces assemble, the Banana guards couldn't help but wonder where the Iron Princess was, this battle is big enough to be notice by almost everyone on Ooo. So why she was not appearing yet?
Their wonders and thoughts of everyone who wondered were answered as they heard the sound of jet propulsions soaring to the sky. "Look there!" one the Banana Guards said. Everyone look confused especially Marceline because she knew Bonnibel was standing in front of her. They saw a strange object speeding towards them, they stared in awe at the appearance.
Surprisingly enough, the Mk VII can transform itself from a suit into an aircraft as long as their is no operating inside it. In Airplane mode, it has to swing wings that can fold back when in full burners, to achieve less drag. The feet act as tail, the hands were underneath the wings, the "fuselage" was the circular chest piece, swarm rocket pods were on the tips of the wings, and finally it has thrusters on it's back. The first suit to have rear thrusters for additional agility.
The aircraft flew low and slow down as if approaches Bonnibel who stood in shock and amazement. At a few meters the aircraft noses up and transformed into a suit. The wings were on its back, hanging downwards. They all stare in awe at what the suit can do at least to the people who knew its true identity.
"Sorry I'm late" the suit said.
Bonnibel tries to play coy, "we need you help Iron Princess" she said.
"You got it." At that everyone cheered.
"How did you do that?" Marceline asked as she approached the suit. Flame Princess did the same.
"Remote operated system, the suit is in Beemo's control. The first one to be incorporated." She said smugly, knowing that she outwitted the vampire queen.
"So what does it do?" Flame Princess asked.
"Well for one thing, it can turned into an airplane, and it has a lot fire power. show em Beemo."
The suit nodded, as it spread it wings, they are two smaller wings below the main ones, they figured that the smaller ones were attached to the main ones when on airplane mode. A series of swam rocket pods were lined up on the edge of the main wings, shoulder mounted multi barrelled guns on the right shoulder. Four barrelled small missile launchers on the left. The fore arms were equipped with wrist mounted missiles like Mk IV but now smaller and four missles on each arm, and a new weapon was introduced: lazer blades, high powered lazers that can cut metal in seconds, much sharper than her plasma swords. The lazers were located on the edge of her fore arm, right were the wrist should be.
Due to its wings and the number of missile weaponry of the suit, Finn dubbed it "Rocket Angel"
Bonnibel laugh "That's a nice name, perfect for its appearance."
"Man I can wait to see this fight these robot, they will be running as if Glob is after them." Finn said. Marceline and the others is still marvelling at the sight.
"Still though it doesn't make sense," she tapped her chin.
"What is it?"
"I never see any new form during the battle. I never yet to see this Dr Broccoli, nor he showed up since the start of this fight"
"Hey maybe he ran away, scared on how I and FP here took down his tanks" Marceline said in triumph
"Yeah, maybe this is a good side." Flame Princess added.
Just then Beemo announced urgently, "Princess we got a problem. Candy Kingdom is under attack, It appears that the battle here is just a diversion, so Dr. Broccoli can sneak past in. Fortunately the Gumball Guardians are fending him off, we must get back and apprehend him."
"But..." Bonnibel was stopped Marceline's raised hand.
"Don't sweat it, we can handle things here, stopped that vegetable fool." She said,
"Yeah, we will burn them alive..." Flame Princess said, her hands were forming fire balls.
"I will go with you Peebles" he turned towards Jake, "You sure you can handle this?"
"Yeah bro, go with your lady now, save the kingdom." The magical dog replied as he crack his knuckles to reassure him.
"Okay." Bonnibel said the suit's back side opened and just when she is about to step in unnoticed, Captain Banana Guard saw her, and moved closer. "You are the...?"
"Yes Captain..." she stepped in "I will explain after this mess, our kingdom is in trouble I will deal with them, stopped the enemy here." She finished as she closed her mask, grabbed Finn and flew away back towards the Kingdom. Sooner after this mess cleaned up, she will face the music...
And the world we'll be listening.
