The five were waiting, all through the night, while staying in the ghost town, that was made the day before.

"Is it me, or is Jupiter shining brighter?" Max suddenly wondered.

"What?" Al asked.

"Look at that star." Max pointed to him.

Everyone looks up to where Max pointed. There was indeed one star that appeared to be brighter than all the others, but that didn't impress anybody.

"So what?" Ginger said, "In Crystal Lake, all stars seem brighter."

"I'm serious." Max said.

"The only thing I'm serious about is what Kenny is doing." Snake said, "If he's done saving his girl, couldn't he at least tell us?"

"Maybe he hasn't saved her at all." Al replied, looking at and suddenly pointing at something in the sky.

Krimson's robot was fixed, and was about to bring more devastation. It started walking over the houses of the ghost town, as the streets were too small for it to walk through them. The robot appeared to be walking towards a certain house, where it raised it's foot and crushed it.

"What the..." Max whispered.

"So our mystery friend has failed." Al said.

"But Winch hasn't." Ginger remarked, judging from a sound she heard, "I can hear helicopters coming this way. They sound very screechy, as if they're carrying a heavy load.

"I can see what that is." Max said.

Everyone else would have just said it's a bunch of in the sky, but Max who had sharper vision could see that it was really a group of helicopters carrying their giant robot.

"A helicopter cockpit for it's head." Max sighed, "They were really desperate."

"Those lights are our robot?" Snake asked.

"That's a fucking perfect timing." Ginger remarked.

"Then what are we waiting for?" Al started, as he changed into Spawn and carried the other four to the robot.

On their way to the robot, Max hadn't kept her eyes off Jupiter. It didn't appear to shine much brighter anymore. Rather, it started to lose it's brightness. Max wasn't much of a real astronomer, so she didn't know whether she should be worried about Jupiter's current state or not.

Spawn dropped Snake off in one of the robot's shoulders, which was a tank. The other three were dropped of in it's head. While Spawn remained outside to tell the pilots to put it down, and afterwards cutting the wires off, the other four were getting themselves ready.

In the head, Jason was put into the exoskeleton, which was to control the robot. Once he got it on, he moved his arm, and outside everyone could see it's arm move.

"Nice. That works." Max remarked.

"Don't fucking start." Ginger said, "Does this look like it'll hold at all?"

"Right now, we've got no choice." everyone heard Snake talk, but he wasn't inside the head.

"Snake?" Max asked him.

"This thing has a radio-contact." Snake explained, "I just found a head-set."

Max then saw a bag that had 'Max' painted on it, along with a walkie-talkie: "I guess that's for me."

Ginger then looked at her own seat. She saw all the monitors, and other machines, of which she wasn't sure what they were, but she turned on all the screens and pressed all the buttons on the other machines, and then she saw statistics, names and other things, which would have her interpret the state of the robot.

"Ugh... couldn't someone else do this?" she whined.

"Unfortunately not." Snake answered.

"I'm here." Spawn sounded, "Jason, take us to that thing!"

Jason did as he was told. He moved his legs, causing the robot to walk towards Krimson's robot.

Given that the one robot was controlled by five people, it's fair to call it the Fivebot, and since the other is controlled by Krimson, it's best to call it the Krimtron. Once well within range, the Fivebot used it's shoulder tanks to shoot the Krimtron. It didn't do much damage, but it did catch it's attention. Likely, Krimson was surprised to see this other robot, but the Krimtron doesn't show it. It shot one of it's lasers to attack Fivebot.

"Jason, step away!" Ginger warned him.

Jason, who was used to not feel much of any pain when he's attacked, didn't think it would have mattered if that laser got him, but it wasn't Jason himself that was attacked. He needed Ginger to help him remember that much. This way, he didn't act fast enough, and the laser had partly damaged Fivebot's arm.

"Fuck!" Ginger exclaimed.

"Now I know where to aim my cannon next." Snake remarked.

Max, meanwhile, was already on her way to fix the arm.

As Jason suddenly realized that the robot he's controlling is more fragile than he is himself, Fivebot's demeanor changed. Rather than letting it's shoulder-tanks do most of the work, it raised it's fists, at the best of it's capacities, to attack the Krimtron. And so the fight went on for some time. After multiple attempts, Snake and Spawn finally managed to destroy Krimtron's lasers, which made it a little more vulnerable than it was only seconds ago. At that point, the Krimtron made one swift move with it's arm, which twisted the Fivebot's head. Max arrived at the neck just in time to try and fix it, but she realized soon enough that she can't do this alone.

Max decided to call for help: "Everybody, I need..."

She couldn't finish her sentence, as she suddenly saw something else. Or rather, she didn't see something else. More appropriately, there where Jupiter had to be, there was nothing anymore.

"Yes, Max, what do you need?" Snake asked her, but received no reply, "Max?!"

Still wondering what happened to Jupiter, she saw it's light returning, except that it wasn't just a star in the sky this time, but something a thousand times brighter. So bright, it blinded her. It also surprised everyone else, as to them it was as though the sun decided to swing by in the middle of the night.

"What the fu..." Snake started.

"What's going on up there?" Ginger asked.

If Krimson was surprised to see this, he didn't show, as the Krimtron rammed itself into the Fivebot, causing it to fly away from where it stood at the time. Wherever it was flying off to, the Krimtron followed it.

In the centre of Brussels, many people were awakened by the sudden brightness in the middle of the night. When looking at their watches, they saw that it was past 2am, which is too soon for the sun to be up. This was something so strange, it took a giant robot that crashed into the Saint-Michaels Cathedral to help them wake out of that trance.

Inside the giant robot, that was the Fivebot, everyone tried to recover from what just happened. Snake looked at the remains of what they just crashed into, and said: "At least it's one church less in the world."

"Guys, this robot's too heavily damaged now, I can't fix it in time." Max warned them.

"Alright, that's it!" Spawn said over the radio, after which everyone could feel the robot shaking.

Whatever was going on wasn't clear, until everyone saw how the Fivebot's head got turned back in it's place, and how everything started to show the same colors as Spawn's suit.

"Oh fuck!" Ginger exclaimed as she saw the Krimtron, which was about to crash itself into the Fivebot. Or would Spawnbot be a better way to call it?

The Spawnbot was able to roll away, so the Krimtron missed him. After this, the battle went more smoothly. As Spawn had complete control over the robot, it could move faster, had more agility, and could more easily dodge attacks.

"And you didn't think you could do this before?" Ginger complained.

"No." Spawn replied.

"That was succinct." Snake remarked.

This fight lasted for some time as well. But after some time, Spawn started to feel it draining it's energy, so he decided to do something quite desperate. The Spawnbot jumped the Krimtron, so powerfully that they both flew away from where they stood at the time. As they were flying, the Spawnbot slowly turned back into the Fivebot. And after some time, they both crash-landed somewhere near a country-side town, which not only destroyed both robots, but also caused it's pilots to spread away from each other.
