"So, Coop, now what?" Kira asked as the three of them watched Steel carry the pieces of Megas to their former positions and mystically weld them into place.
"He offered me a fight. I'm gonna take it, in three months I'll be ready to beat anything." Coop replied
"So you say, but what about now, what about the Glorft?" Kira asked
"The who?" Jamie and Coop replied
Kira sighed "There a race of highly-advanced Aliens that have the idea of destroying humanity to make a perfect universe. My mission was to capture one of their newer mechs and repurpose it for human use, then take it into the past, find a pilot to train it and have them fight the Glorft. Unfortunately the time portal launched me and Megas separately and we went back too far." Kira explained
"So, Megas is some alien robot that humans stole and improved?" Coop asked
"Basically, yes." Kira replied
Coop was silent for a moment. "That's sweet!" He shouted
"Done!" Steel called from Megas' body
The three looked over to see a perfect Megas standing tall as before.
"I even replaced the rockets you wasted." Steel put in as he approached them
"Thanks buddy." Coop said giving him a slap on the back, but bruising his own hand instead.
"Don't worry about it, oh! And my body is extremely durable, so I don't suggest hitting me." He answered in response to Coop's throbbing hand.
"Steel, what are you doing here, exactly?" Kira asked
"I've told you already. I was sent here by the Guardians to recruit Coop to help us in our upcoming war." Steel explained
"yes yes, but what about the glorft here on Earth?" She asked
Steel looked around "I don't see any Glorft."
Another time portal opened and hundreds of Glorft Mechs poured out surrounding Coop and the others.
"You were saying?" Jamie asked, irritated.
Steel chuckled "My bad." He quickly disappeared as his mech came to life.
"Get back into Megas. I'll cover you." He said
The commander watched the fight as his flagship exited the portal.
"What have they done to my prototype!" he asked
"Sir, our sensors are indicating that there are 50% of the prototypes pieces unaccounted for, most of them necessary." His lieutenant stated
"That means they can't fight us. Excellent. Bring me my prototype!" He shouted slamming his hand into the captain's chair a third time destroying the arm entirely.
The surrounding mechs all moved toward Megas.
Steel's mech put its hands to the ground and a large cube of steel emerged surrounding Coop and the others, as well as Megas.
"When you're ready, tap the wall." Steel said to them before he ran off to fight the Glorft.
Coop and the others got into the car and looked around at each other.
"Do we really have to do this?" Jamie asked
"Yes, for the sake of humanity you must stop them." Kira replied
"Besides, Steel fixed Megas, and I don't leave my debts unpaid." Coop replied
"Except your phone, your electric, your water." Jamie began
"Hey! I paid for those." Coop said
"Just go already!" Kira shouted
Coop had Mega reach out and touch the steel cube which was absorbed by the earth below. He looked around and saw most of the Glorft had been drawn away from Megas, as Steel moved toward the flagship. The few that had remained immediately looked to Coop and attacked. Coop dispatched them quickly and ran towards Steel. He jumped into the fight and helped him dispatch the rest of the of Gloft forces.
"That's it. Prepare my Mech!" The commander shouted from his chair as he stood and walked toward the back part of the ship.
Steel and Coop clapped each other on a job well done when a single beam emitted from the ship and grew larger as it deposited a giant mech on the battlefield.
"That's a Hyper-Class Glorft Mech. No one's ever been able to defeat one." Kira explained
"Well set that record to one." Coop said as he charged toward the Glorft robot.
The giant mech flicked its finger and sent Megas flying. Steel caught them and set Megas on the ground.
"You can't charge this one Coop, keep to something simple." Steel explained.
Coop nodded "Right, simple… simple…" he looked through his mind and an image of him press the 'fire missles' button appeared. He grinned
"Alright, simple it is." He said pressing the fire missles button again, as well as 'fire more missles' and 'fire all the missles'
Steel looked over his console and found the control he was looking for 'nuke 'em'
He pressed this and both mechs opened their chests, arms, legs, and head (In Steel's case) and fired all of the rockets. The glorft mech took the hit and flew out of the smoke and through five buildings.
"That's what I'm talking about!" Coop shouted as the mech closed their launchers.
Steel grinned to himself, but then noticed himself beginning to fade.
"Coop! You're on your own, I've gotta get back to the Guardians." Steel shouted
"Aw man, but we just got started." Coop said
"Well take him down and launch a few missles at him for me then." Steel said grinning as he faded away
"You got it." Coop said determined. He rushed forward and the fight continued as he punched huge pieces of the hyper-model mech and eventually when it fell on its back he pressed the 'for Steel' button and a missle launcher appeared on his wrist. He put it at the mech's face just before the commander ejected out and fire destroying the mech entirely, as well as five miles of Jersey city. As the fight ended and Coop looked around he said
"Anyone wanna get a smoothie?" as they saw the whole five miles had been wiped out.
