Chapter: 3 The longer the wait the worse it gets.
Dan looks forwards with an uncertain look as the walk towards the town of the kingdom.
Aboard the lead Airship above Dan, Rain, and Zey heads
A woman sitting in front of a big computer screen showing the progress of the assault on the kingdom yells, "Captain Walker sir! We have a problem! Our ground forces have been reduced to 35 percent due to three people!"
A man in Demonic looking Armor walks up behind her looking at the computer screen saying, "What!? That is impossible!!... Unless it's by those three I am thinking it is. Show me who these people are!"
The woman types something in on the keyboard in front of her replying, "Yes sir!"
A Video feed of Dan, Rain, and Zey appears on the screen where Walker just stares at it not saying anything.
The woman then asks, "Walker sir what is your next orders?"
Walker turns his head towards her replying, "Send out the Mech Division Assault Vehicle!... Let's see how they handle our ATAV-87C."
The woman continues to type something on the keyboard only replying, "Yes Sir!"
Walker looks back at the screen laughing softly thinking, "Now let's see how the three famous Guardian Angels handle our best weapon ever developed."
Back on the ground with Dan, Rain, And Zey.
Dan and Zey still helping Rain walk when she says, "Okay I think I can walk now. Please stop."
Dan and Zey stop looking at her which Dan asks, "Are you sure you can?"
Rain looks at Dan replying, "Yes I think I will be able to now. Thanks you guys,"
Dan and Zey remove their arms from her back but still paying close attention to her to make sure she doesn't fall.
Rain kind of wobbles a bit as she stands on her own Dan and Zey hold their hands out to her side to help her stand up right when Zey then says, "Are you sure you can do this? It seems like you need to rest more."
Rain looks at Zey smiling replying, "Yes I know Zey but there is no time for me to rest right now."
Zey then has a sad expression saying, "I know this is tough on all of us Rain. I wish this didn't have to happen."
Dan looks forward at the town and at the temple with a concern expression when he hears aloud metal doors opening. He looks up into the air and sees that the airship bottom doors opening up. He steps back a little bit as he sees a humanoid robot step into viewing point of Dan. The robot stood up like a human having to arms as well with jet-packs on its back with a pair of wings. Rain and Zey then notices Dan looking up into the air wondering what he was looking at they as well looked up into the air. They saw the humanoid robot jump out of the airship above them and falling straight down towards them.
Dan shouts, "Quickly get out of the way!!!"
Zey grabs Rain and jumps to the side out of the way from the point of impact where the robot landed at. Dan was well jumps to the side away from the point of impact but to the opposite side away from Zey and Rain. Dan kneels with is back facing the robot which he turns his head and looks at it but dust blocks the view from seeing the robot. Zey who is on the other side lays on the ground next to Rain which he has his left arm over her back when he looks up into the dust trying to see the robot. Dan quickly gets up gripping his sword tightly as he turns around looking towards the robot which the dust starts to settle down.
Dan steps back a short distance as he sees the ATAV-87C saying, "What is that!?"
The ATAV-87C towers over them a good 17 feet in the air with two arms, two legs, a cockpit in the middle housing two pilots for the body, and two big jet engines on its back. The ATAV-87C moved its arms out to the side pointing them at Dan on one side and the other at Zey and Rain on the other. The hands of the ATAV-87C moved down where the armor plating of the wrist moves apart and a Gatling guns appear from it. Gatling guns start to spin around as the point towards Dan, Zey, and Rain. Dan and Zey who grabs Rain jumps towards the front of the ATAV-87C right before the Gatling guns fired. Dan steadies his footing as he watches the ATAV-87C stop firing on where they once were.
Zey helps Rain to her feet and asks Dan, "What are we going to do?"
Dan grips his sword tightly in his right hand replying, "There is only one thing to do right now and that is to destroy whatever this thing is."
Rain still a little tired from her Overdrive attack earlier breaths a little hard and says, "Well this is going to be one tough fight we got on our hands."
Dan moves his left foot in front and slides his right foot behind him while bringing his left hand over to his sword which is now down on his right side hanging outwards replying to Rain's comment, "Yes I know but we can't afford to lose here and now. We must protect our people and our king."
The ATAV-87C finally stands up straight in front of them which the pilots in side can be seen moving controls around and looking at the display screen.
Dan then looks at Rain and Zey asking, "You guys ready?"
Both Zey and Rain holding their weapons in their hands nod as a form of a replying to Dan's question. Just then the ATAV-87C took one step forward towards them raisin its arms up again towards them. So Dan, Rain, and Zey run toward it to attack it before it can attack them first hoping to gain the upper hand. The armor plating apart again but this time instead of the Gatling guns appearing it was short black iron tubes that appeared from them. As they came close the ATAV-87C lowered its arms and fire shot out of the black iron tubes almost hitting them. In the nick of time they all jumped back out of the range of the flamethrower.
After they land Dan look angrily at the ATAV-87C and said, "Damn!! How can we attack this thing if we don't know anything about it! If we're not careful this could be the end of the road for us!"
Zey quickly looks at Dan and says, "Well we know it has Gatling Guns and a flamethrower. Now we just need to defend against those two and find out what other thing it has up its sleeves."
Rain continues to look at the ATAV-87C replying to Zey comment, "Yes I agree with Zey. We need to find out what other things it can do. So that way we can come up with a plan to counter this thing and bring it down."
Dan looks at both of them with a concern look then says, "Alright let's do it then."
Dan puts his left hand in front of his face which a green aura surrounds him for a second and then disappears which then Dan throws his left arm out shouting, "NulBlaze!"
As he shouted little red electricity appeared in front of each of them focusing on one area which then it all came together and formed into a little red ball with fire in the midst of it. The little red balls floated around them circling them as it floated to the top of their head and down to the bottom where their feet are. After that Dan and Zey start running towards the ATAV-87C again. Seeing this, the pilots of the ATAV-87C commanded it to use it flamethrowers again.
Dan and Zey just continued to run towards the ATAV-87C not caring about what the pilots where doing. As they came close fire shouts out of the two black iron tubes engulfing both Dan and Zey. They pilots rejoiced in thinking that they eliminated Dan and Zey which they then saw them jump out of the Flames with the little red ball absorbing the flames into it. As both of them cleared the flame below them the little red balls shatter into small particle which they glade through the air towards the ATAV-87C. As both Dan and Zey continue to glade towards the ATAV-87C Zey pulls head of Dan which he turns to his left holding both of his sword behind him. As Zey came into range he spins around and slams his swords into the right side of the ATAV-87C causing it to stager sideways and almost fall down. It then tries to regain footing when Dan appears over it holding his sword over his back ready to slam it into the cockpit of the ATAV-87C. The pilots seeing this try to counter his move before he attack but the ATAV-87C movements are slow to comply. So Dan slams his sword into the windshield of the ATAV-87C with a force so strong it made the ATAV-87C bend over a little and crack the ground where it stood. Dan lands on the windshield looking down at the pilots and at the big crack left behind where is sword hit. Dan kneels and then jumps off the windshield of the ATAV-87C towards Rain's side. Rain just stands there with a green aura surrounding her and her right hand in front of her face as Dan lands beside her.
Rain then throws her right hand in front of her towards the ATAV-87C shouting, "Thundara!!"
Two lightening bolts shoot down out of the sky and hit the ATAV-87C and causes to stop moving a little bit. Zey who is standing behind facing it holds his swords on his right side in both hands. The swords absorb energy out of the air and start to glow. Once the sword absorb enough
energy Zey runs towards the ATAV-87C and jumps up into the air once he was close enough. As Zey passes over the ATAV-87C in the air he flips holding out his swords and hits the ATAV-87C at the top with such force as well it knocks it over on the ground. Zey lands on the ground in front of it and turns around to look at the ATAV-87C.
Zey turns his head looking at both Dan and Rain saying, "It seems like me got it."
Dan continues looking forwards and replies, "I wouldn't think so."
Zey turns his back around and sees the ATAV-87C moving its arms to get itself up. It moved its arm to a position to where it can push its self off the ground. Once it get up to a certain point the jets on its back kick on and left it up off the ground where it just hovered. Dan looked at the ATAV-87C with an angry expression as it just hovered in the air. Just then two parts on each shoulder area, armor plating moved apart. Dan and Rain stood ready as Zey lands in the middle of them looking and waiting for its attack. The ATAV-87C just hovered there for a few seconds after the armor plating parted which three missiles then shot out of each hole in the shoulder. They all stared up at the missiles as they fly up into the air and then turn towards them.
Rain looks towards them shouting, "RUN!! GET OUT OF THE WAY!!"
Dan, Rain, and Zey were all about to run when the missiles slam into the ground from of them. The force of the blast push them away hard and sent shrapnel towards them as well. The pilots of the ATAV-87C look outside the cracked windshield towards the area once where Dan, Rain, and Zey stood at now only smoke hovered over the area.
The front pilot who is sits in the front of the cockpit said, "Yeah! It seems like we got those damn fools!"
The rear pilot who sits behind the front pilot replied, "Yeah I know. No one can mess with the ATAV-87C and live!"
The smoke then cleared and showed all of them lying on the ground on moving.
The front pilot saw them laying on the ground and typed something on the keyboard of the ATAV-87C controls.
A Video feed of Walker's face appeared on the display screen of the ATAV-87C which Walker said, "Status?"
The front pilot states, "All three targets downed."
Walker then asked, "Are you sure?"
The front pilot replies, "Yes sir!"
Walker looks away at something stating, "You two better make sure. I know they would go down that easy."
Both pilots reply, "Aye aye sir!"
The ATAV-87C hovers down to the ground and starts to walk towards Dan, Rain, and Zey slowly. Zey who is laying between both Dan and Rain winces in pain as he tries to get up off of the ground. The ATAV-87C stops walk and the pilots look on the display screen seeing Zey moving.
The front pilot says, "What!? H-How can this be!? H-He's still alive!!"
Zey stagers to his feet with his back facing the ATAV-87C blooding, clothes ripped up, and cut up from the shrapnel of the missiles.
Zey turns around limping due to his injure looking at the ATAV-87C with an angry expression saying, "No one messes with my friends and gets away with it!!"
Zey stands up straight with red energy surrounding him with red electricity pulsing from him and shouts, "Overdrive!!... Force Saber Rain!!"
