You guys didn't really think I'd abandon this story, would I? Of course not! I haven't constantly uploaded since I was dry on ideas at the time, but I'm back with a lot exciting things on the way for this story! So I hope you'll stick around and enjoy this chapter!
Hours Later
It was just about nighttime, Arnold and Amelia were concluding their basketball lessons for the day. The backyard was lit up with the light poles they have.
"Come on, Anelia! One more free throw and we're done for today." Arnold encouraged.
She took a deep breath before dribbling once. And she soon put up the shot.
SWISH
She made the final free throw.
"That's my big girl!" Arnold hugged her.
"You're only saying that since I made that." Amelia looked at her Dad.
"Miss it, hit it, airball it, I don't care what would've happened, I'll always be proud of you, honey. I love you, sweetheart." Arnold kissed Amelia's forehead.
"I love you, Dad." Amelia smiled. Arnold kissed her forehead again and smiled.
"Come on. Let's get cleaned up again." Arnold chuckled softly. Amelia chuckled as well.
Spinelli soon walked outside with a soda can in hand.
"Go get cleaned up first, your father and I have certain business…" Spinelli told Amelia and soon smirked at Arnold.
Amelia only nodded as she headed inside.
Arnold smiled as he held Spinelli by the waist and twirled around once before kissing.
"Looks like someone had fun." Spinelli smirked.
"You do know I'm sweaty right now, right?" Arnold lightly smirked.
"I don't care whether you're wet as water right now, I'm still kissing my husband." She cupped his face and started kissing him.
They separated and Arnold soon said, "I love you, Spinelli." He smiled.
"Yeah, yeah, I love you too. Now get over here!" She pulled his face close so she could kiss his cheek.
"Just on the cheek?" Arnold smirked.
Spinelli kissed his cheek again. "Are you going to keep complaining or are you gonna let me do what I want?" She smirked.
Arnold playfully rolled his eyes with a smile while Spinelli kissed his cheek three more times.
"Now come on! Get inside, I've been waiting for the last two hours to see you!" She grabbed his hand and walked inside with him.
Arnold was about to ask something, but Spinelli spoke before he could. "If you're going to ask about Haidra or the TYGER guards, the answer is shut up and come over here."
They soon walked into the living room.
"Get your ass on that damn couch…" She soon pushed him onto the couch. Arnold fell back onto the couch, with Spinelli crawling on him. She then did nothing else.
"What? What'd you expect? For us to have sex in the middle of the room? HA!" She partially gloated.
"Not exactly, just didn't expect you to waste time doing this." He smirked.
"How's it feel being pinned down?" Spinelli smirked.
"You're an ass." Arnold chuckled. "Yeah, yeah. Just shut up and get up." She snickered, kissing his nose and soon getting off him.
"I'll see you later, you ass." Arnold smirked as he soon got up.
"I love you!" She shouted with a smirk.
Later
Arnold came back downstairs after showering again and found Spinelli slouched on the couch while flipping through tv channels.
"Keep that up and we'll need a new TV." Arnold smirked as he walked over.
"We're due for a new tv anyway. Like how I'm due for a new necklace." She smirked while holding her heart necklace with a skull in the middle of it. Arnold sat next to her after adjusting his shirt.
"Are you saying you want another date?" He put his arm over her.
"Maybe." Spinelli shrugged. "How keeping an eye out in the next couple weeks." Arnold kissed her forehead.
Arnold then saw something at the corner of his eye right as he was about to cuddle with her.
He looked over. "Swoops!"
Swoops was sitting on top of a shelf while holding a croissant and chipping away at it.
"When was he there?" Spinelli asked.
"Wasn't he just in the kitchen?" Arnold replied with another question. Swoops then flew off with the croissant in his talons.
Arnold then smiled at her. "So, where were we?" His hand ran down her thigh. Spinelli whacked away his hand. "Save it for later if you're brave enough." Spinelli smirked and then kissed his cheek.
Arnold then ran his hand over her stomach. "If I'm brave enough to put up with your pregnancy anger? I'm more than willing to do so." Arnold got near her face and started kissing her soft lips.
Spinelli smirked at Arnold. "Hey Arnold, I'm in the mood for a little fun."
"Say less, hun." Arnold continued to kiss her.
Hours Later
"Are you sure it's done?" A blue glowing masked figure asked with its robotic voice. "Ready for operation, boss." A red and gray camouflaged soldier replied with a black wearing guard standing by him with a mask around his mouth and nose.
"Operation Bulldozer is done. This is just a prototype before we start making a whole army." It was the Militia with their leader. "That's part of phase two. Deploy this prototype, and let's see how those so-called 'Vigilantes' do against this Dozer." The Militia leader, Haidra, said.
"Armor is impenetrable, made out of the toughest steel, nothing can damage it." The soldier replied.
The Bulldozer isn't what one thinks by its name alone… The Bulldozer consists of heavy metal, carbon steel, tungsten, and stainless steel all around, leaving no exposed spot across the entire armor, making it a war machine. The whole armor was painted a very dark black, with the mask varying in two different designs. Its mask would either have a painted angry skull, or its original design with creepy eyeholes. The upper body contained more armor than the lower legs. Its left shoulder had a mounted minigun, with its right arm having a mounted LMG. The right shoulder contained missiles along with both arms, and the left arm was free for any weapon of its choice. Missiles, LMGs, Miniguns, or rockets. And the helmet was surrounded by the armored neck collar.
"Prepare to meet your match…" Haidra whispered in a deep and furious tone as the Bulldozer's eyes lit red, powering on.
As the scene slowly shifted behind the Dozer, it transitioned into Pamela's room, where Arnold was with her while Spinelli was feeding Swoops.
"Dad, when can I finally go on that training simulator you guys have down in the lair?" Pamela asked after drinking her water bottle. Arnold kissed her forehead and wrapped his arm over her. "Pam, sweetie, I know you're eager to go test it out, but you still have a long way of training before we let you try out a simulation."
Pamela pouted while looking around. She then sighed. "I guess you're right…"
Arnold then smirked. "You know, I believe your Mom has a few tricks up her sleeve. I'd have to bet she'd be willing to teach you a thing or two." He rubbed her shoulder. "And besides, I'm confident when you progress in training, you'll be just like your mother." Arnold smiled.
Pamela smiled and then hugged her Dad. "Thanks, Dad. I love you." Arnold also smiled while rubbing her back.
Impulse then interrupted. "Sir, my sincerest apologies, but a bank alarm has been tripped downtown. May I suggest you and the others check what it's about?" Their Artificial Intelligence then suggested.
Arnold exhaled. "Alright, Impulse, get our strike team, you know what to do." Arnold chuckled.
"Quite frankly, I already know, Sir. One step ahead of you." Impulse replied.
Arnold then looked at his daughter. "I'll see you soon, sweetheart." He kissed her forehead and immediately got up and ran out of her room.
Later
Overhead of the bank, the entrance of the bank was gone with a bunch of cement that had fallen. People fled the bank and the entire area. Several patrol cars and multiple SWAT vans were parked outside with their guns aimed at the smoking entrance.
Up in the Hyperjet…
"Man, whoever broke into this bank made their entrance clear, I'll give them that." Spinelli scratched her head.
"You guys better watch yourselves, this doesn't look like a normal bank break-in." Ariel suggested while looking down. Nadine merely rolled her eyes. "Ariel, please, we know how to take care of ourselves. We'll be fine."
Gerald shrugged. "I mean, she DOES have a point. That doesn't look like a normal bank robber's approach."
Spinelli shook her head. "Enough yappin' and let's get down there and crush those sons of bitches!" Ariel then opened the rear cargo doors of the Hyperjet. "Be careful."
Within the minute, the strike team had gotten on the ground and near the destroyed bank entrance.
Gerald aimed his handgun with the flashlight on inside. "Alright, looks like they may be inside the vault, I don't see anyone." He said.
Shadow gave the go-ahead. "Alright, let's move it." He slowly walked inside. The others slowly followed and soon started to spread out around the bank interior.
"Nothing so far!" Sapphire called out while looking around.
CRASH
CRACK
THUD
Nadine displayed a digital blueprint of the bank. "... Hey! That noise must've come from the vault!"
"She's right! I heard it just from the left of me!" Spinelli pointed.
"Proceed with caution, guys!" Shadow reminded.
And soon, they all gathered back together and slowly walked over toward the vault entrance. More banging was heard and slowly creeping up…
Shadow stopped them all. "That banging is creeping up, get ready!"
Around the corner, it wasn't what they expected… Their threat finally appeared.
A war machine-like armored figure with a skull mask stepped in front. The minigun mounted on its shoulder with an LMG in hand stared them down.
"Uh oh…" Spinelli pointed out with her Sais in hand. "Not what I expected…" Arnold added.
The Bulldozer dropped the money and gold bags from its hand and formed an LMG with the minigun firing up on its shoulder.
"EVERYONE, FALL BACK!" Shadow yelled as they all immediately jumped away.
CRASH
As the Bulldozer smashed the floor with its fist, Scarlet immediately jumped back at it for a punch but…
CLANG
"OW! WHAT THE- UGH!" The Dozer punched her away hard.
CRASH
As she crashed through a wall, "Looks like this won't be easy." Sapphire mentioned while firing multiple lasers.
The Bulldozer only stood there as the lasers had no effect and reflected off its armor.
"Oh-kayyy…?"
Everyone only stood in shock as the minigun started firing.
Shadow had a max-level missile barrage ready and fired away before jumping out of the way.
CRASH

As the smoke cleared away from where the Bulldozer stood, he was still standing. Unphased. And in one piece.
"This isn't good…" Shadow looked over. "What the hell do we do now?!" Sapphire asked. "Team attack alpha." Arnold replied. "Fire every weapon at him at once. Weaken that armor!"
"... NOW!" Everyone jumped out of their corner and started firing their long-range weapons at the Dozer.

A cloud of smoke surrounded the Dozer and slowly cleared away, only to reveal…
"He just doesn't give up, does he?!" Scarlet asked, starting to get infuriated. She then decided to jump back at it but in an acrobatic way.
The LMG was aimed at her, but she immediately kicked it away from her, spun around, and tried to slash her Sai through the mask, but it only to have her Sai knocked away, yanked from her leg, and started to get smashed against the ground several times.
She then got thrown into the air and punched in the stomach hard, knocking her back into an ATM.
CRASH
"That's it!" Shadow pulled out his blade and jumped at the Bulldozer.
CLANG
At the first swing, not a scratch but his blade had broken into two…
THWACK
THUD
He was immediately punched in the chin and knocked back.
CRASH
As Shadow crashed into a wall, the others sprang at the Bulldozer, deciding enough was enough.
