That's right, I'm back!

At the start of this battle, I saw about ten vehicles (myself included) and about twenty infantrymen. I expected the enemy to have about the same amount, and at least similar types.

All of the vehicles on my side looked like either tanks, mechs, cruisers, or walkers. Infantrymen confirmed that they're ground units too. So I expected this to be a sort of ground battle.

Until I saw a bunch of helicopters directly above us!

"This doesn't look good." I murmured.

"Heh heh heh, luckily, I'm prepared for this specific situation." Was that voice from that Spike guy?

"What do you mean?"

"He he, I always come with a flak cannon, baby!" He yelled before blue projectiles launched upwards directly at the helicopters. Those shots exploding just as they hit them or slightly miss 'em.

But in turn, those helicopters started firing back, while trying to dodge the flak explosions.

"Disk shield!" A voice called. Two disks suddenly appeared above us, completely blocking their shots. But somehow, the flak projectiles are passing straight through them. The helicopters didn't last much longer, as one by one soon got obliterated!

"Just how powerful are those flak cannons!?" I asked as the disks disappear just as suddenly.

"Heh, they're godlike against aerials!" He laughed.

"Flak cannons are designed to destroy any target that is off the ground, as they are classed as 'aerial targets'. But those on the ground are 'ground targets', which the flak cannon is practically useless against." The first voice explained.

"Ground vehicles are approaching! I repeat, the ground vehicles are approaching you!" Sky warned.

"Brace yourself, rookie!" First voice again. "The enemy is coming!"

"I can hear the scout, you know." That line he said, it reminds me of a show I used to watch back at home. What was it again?

"Just get ready for some real action, kid! Heh heh!" Spike chimed in.

The vehicles all moved away from each other, but remained close as a group. Infantrymen started climbing onto the vehicles. One- no, two of them got onto me. Well, when I say 'me', I meant 'my mech'.

"Getting on the rookie's robot, eh?" The first voice spoke. "You're risking yourselves."

"At least mechs are more agile than tanks." One of my passengers countered.

"It's not that, his weapons and armour are very weak. He won't last very long."

"Geez, thanks for the compliment!" I sarcastically called out. "What did you expect from a so-called 'rookie' like me?"

I didn't get an answer because the enemy's arrived.

Not one second passed until they started firing at us. In turn my group fired back. Lasers, plasmas, all kinds of red and blue ammunition flying back and forth, forth and back, left and right, right and left.

I just retreated behind one of the tanks and started firing at the general direction of where the red projectiles are coming from. No idea if I'm hitting any enemies.

"There goes one of them!" Someone yelled.

A small feeling of power went through me, while I noticed myself briefly flashing white.

I don't know what just happened there, but I feel stronger now. I continue to fire at the enemy vehicles, whether I actually am stronger or not, I can't tell easily.

A large red ring appears around us.

"EM-"

Everything went black suddenly, and silent. Some kind of electric pulse was going through me, as if I'm sitting on one of those electric chairs that constantly shock you. To top that off, I couldn't feel myself moving, I couldn't even feel myself at all!
/Where am I? What's going on? What happened to me?

After what felt like an eternity, colour and sound came back. I quickly found out that I'm knocked over on my back. I use my mech legs to get back up, I saw a huge armoured tank between me and the enemies, blocking them from reaching me. What happened?

"One enemy left, don't let 'em get away!" Someone called.

All the other enemies must've been destroyed. We all gave chase, but the tanks, being the slowest vehicles here, won't be able to catch up easily. Especially if there's a steep hill to get over.

This is my time to shine! Once I pulled myself together after waking up from that pitch black space thing...

I jump up the hill and immediately saw the escaper, took aim and fired my plasma launchers. They may be weak, but they are enough to finish that last enemy robot. When it exploded, I saw a person jump out and fall to the ground.

I couldn't tell if that pilot was male or female, but it immediately got up and legged it.

"Get the pilot as well!" That same person called. I fired at the running pilot, the shots fell a little short, but the explosions hit 'em, making the pilot stumble and fall again.

An easy target. I fire my plasma again and hit the pilot directly. Which caused it to...

Violently explode...

Ouch, sucks to be the victim...

"T-target destroyed." I spoke to my team.

"Nice one rookie. Capture the West fusion tower now." The voice told me. I kinda feel bad about that pilot I just killed. It's like when someone says 'Show no mercy!', this is what it feels like.

"R-right." As I started towards the red tower, which is just ahead of me, I notice the tanks rolling up a not-so-steep part of this hill to regroup.

They started firing at the crystals in the tower, just like the previous tower, as soon as they got close enough. I don't think I have much of a choice here, so I just fired as well.

"All enemy vehicles have re-spawned, the ground ones are approaching the West tower again, while the helicopters are heading South." Sky informed us. I do wonder where she actually is and how she isn't spotted herself.

The red crystals have all been shattered and immediately replaced by blue ones.

"The enemy's fusion shield has been deactivated." That mysterious robotic voice again. But whatever this voice is, what it said sounded good for us.

Not only that, but I felt another feeling of power went through me, while briefly flashing white again. I also noticed some of the tanks flashing white too.

Not long after Sky's warning, the enemies already met up with us and started firing. We, as one would expect, fired back. I was firing small, but many, plasma shots, while other vehicles and infantry are shooting other weapons.

A large blue disk appears between us and the enemies, blocking their shots entirely without disturbing ours.

"Good placement!" Someone said through the communicator.

The enemies seem to be retreating a bit, allowing us to move forward. One of the enemy vehicles suddenly vanished on its own. Did that one just self destruct?

"How come one of them suddenly disappeared?" I asked through all of the shots being fired back and forth.

"Must be either a Ghost Module or Blink Module." Someone replied. "Stay alert!"

I don't really know what either of those modules do, but they do sound rather dangerous. As the shield disappeared, the enemies continued to retreat back toward a large cluster of red crystals.

That must be their protonium reactor.

"Behind us!" Someone yelled. Immediately, some of our tanks are getting shot from behind. I turn around and saw one of those enemy vehicles, a mech, wait, was that the one that disappeared a moment ago?

I fire my plasma Pulsers at that vehicle, which dealt quite a bit of damage to it, but what surprised me was that it's still focusing on the tanks. The tanks are focusing on the front line, ignoring the vehicle flanking them, while that flanking vehicle
/is ignoring me. And I'm the only one shooting at it.

Bit by bit, my guns took off its guns, eventually rendering it useless. Once I got all of its guns, it tried running away (Literally, it's a mech) back towards its base around our left side.

I tried shooting at the legs, hoping to immobilise it, but it got away. By the time I turned back to the front line, most of the other enemies were being pushed back.

Some tanks and infantry were starting to shoot at the reactor, while the rest were finishing off the enemy vehicles and enemy infantry.

Come to think of it, I haven't really noticed many enemy infantrymen, probably because I'm in a vehicle and enemy vehicles are a higher priority to me.

"Get the Protonium reactor now!" One voice called. "While we have the chance!"

All units immediately shot at the huge cluster of red crystals. I did too, knowing that this is our primary objective. But these ones seem to be a lot tougher than on those towers. Are these the same crystals?

As some enemy vehicles and infantrymen were sent down from the sky, somehow, we took them down quickly. They didn't have much time to react, let alone survive.

I saw the other half of my team, the walkers, cruisers and hovercrafts, approach this reactor from the other side. They also fired at the reactor, working on the crystals on the other side I presume.

At this point, two things, first, there are a lot of unusual things that seem to happen on a regular basis in battle, such as destroying crystals just to replace them with our own. Why can't we just pull them off or something? Wouldn't that be quicker?

And second, we are just shooting at the enemy's Protonium reactor while taking out enemies that try to stop us. It pretty much got a bit repetitive.

It took a while, but eventually, all of the crystals have been destroyed. But the structure that has been holding the crystals started to glow.

Brightly.

"Get back! It's gonna blow!" Someone yelled.

Instinctively, we all took cover behind steep hills, large rocks, whatever. I was just hiding behind a tank because I don't know where else.

A huge explosion sounded, shaking the ground enough for my mech legs to feel it. I looked up above the reactor, or what's left of it, and saw a huge mushroom cloud rising up like one of those nuclear bomb explosions.

After a while, when it all died down, first thing I noticed is that there no more enemies here, second thing is...

The Protonium reactor is now just a wreck. Which I suppose leaves us with only one thing...

"VICTORY!"

Oh, did you think that I gave up on this story because it hasn't been updated since Christmas Eve? Well I haven't. For two reasons: Another story and writer's block.

Anyway, here's Sky's bio.

Basic information

* Name: Sky Royalton

* Age: 16 years old.

* Natural height: 5'9 (1.75m)

* Preferred Style: Scout, the eyes and the ears of the team. Scouts sneak around into enemy lines and relay information to their allies. Though they are fast and agile, they can't take a lot of damage.

Characteristics

- Skin tone: White

- Eye colour: Blue

- Hair colour: Black

- Freckles: None

History

Like Lava, nothing is known about Sky's past. But that statement might become false later in the story. 'Might'.

Personality

Sky is a cheerful, energetic girl. Especially if she gets excited. (Don't get any funny ideas.) But she does know when to calm down and get serious, which isn't very often. Sometimes, if she sees any 'cute' boys, chances are, Sky will tease them by getting flirtatious with them. Every time, she gets the reaction she wants.

But putting the flirting aside, Sky does 'respect' her allies. Despite not being the smartest around, she can get her jobs done, which are usually just simple ones.

Last but not least, the reviews. 5 of them here:

Anonymous (Chapter 12): "This story has been great so far! Keep up the good work! You have managed to capture the awesomeness of Robocraft in a story! Pls keep posting can't wait for next chapter."

Rynowm: "Thanks! As someone who's addicted to the game (and I'm not ashamed about it), it's rather easy to get most of the elements at the bare minimum."

Vovan1 (Chapter 12): "Sorry for such a late review, but this chapter was pretty good. I like the idea of infantry and robots fighting together. By the wau, I've updated my "Megabot, I choose you!""

Rynowm: "'Sorry for the late review'? I should be sorry for the late update, but I was working on another story (plus writer's block).

Anyway, I did foreshadow in previous chapters that there will be both infantry and robots on the battlefield.

Also, there's no need to tell me if you've updated your story. Since I'm using the fanfiction app on IOS, the app keeps a list of all stories I'm reading, including 'Megabot, I choose you!', and it keeps them all up to date. So I'll know if it gets updated when it gets updated."

Are you alive (Chapter 12): "Hello? Im a big fan of this story and i would like to know if another chapter is comming out soon."

Rynowm: "The chapters will eventually be published. Throughout December, I was writing the Christmas edition for this story. But now that that's done, I can work on the other stories. However, I have been suffering writer's block, so I can take some blame if need be."

laura_justice_dtm (Christmas edition): "Awwwwww! Thats so sweet! Im so happy i waited for this! Keep up the good work rynowm!" (The dots in your user name have been replaced with underscores because fanfiction kept removing most of your name)

Rynowm: "Awwww, such a sweet review, Laura. I wanted to write something to show that I was in the Christmas spirit, so I came up with this story."

Vovan1 (Christmas edition): "Well, this was really good. Armored cubes - from before the Full Spectrum Combat? Also, I'll try to post the next chapter of my fic soon, but no guarantees."

Rynowm: "Those armoured cubes are actually from after the Full Spectrum Combat update, when all the cubes have been put into one stack for each shape. Sky was also painting the cubes, which was introduced in the FSC update.

Again, I'll be notified when you publish your chapter. No rush, no pressure."
