Crimson Canines (Complete!)

Alerius stood on the bow of the gigantic command walker a short distance away from the Bridge itself. He was flanked on either side by his sister to the left and his War hero of a Father to the right. All of them assigned to this walking behemoth, his mother was actually back in the Mesa sky docks keeping the drones and the feeds organized as well as comms. Alerius and family intercepted every threat that dared threaten the monstrosity that they were guarding knowing this mobile command post was vital to the battle.

It was never long before a small squad of mechs was sent to harass the bridge where Artemis was standing however they almost always wound up dismantled with surprising efficiency and speed. It was truly and impressive sight. Almost like a choreographed dance of carnage playing out close up. Any mech that challenged his sister was blown away by their own rounds thanks to her highly magnetized setup their father like Alerius was reducilously fast and they would decimate squads one mech at a time.

His blade was covered in what looked like black blood from spearing the cockpits a horrific mixture of blood and oil staining his blade. A few bullet holed riddled his shield but hardly damaged it at this point. There wasn't anything they could do about artillery fire except allow the gun crews to do their job but it was clear the Auxillius family was full of some reckless and skilled people.

Liz stood still and allowed herself to sway with the motions of the gigantic turtle she was currently riding. Dulcia was a friend after all so Liz had asked to be reassigned to her defense and it was granted. She had sat still in wait for the right moment to begin firing. Once Dulcia broke through their line she let loose. A sudden blast of sustained laser fire cut across the artillery positions with the Intent of igniting all of their ammunition that was her goal at any rate. She had to be careful though as she was extreamly powerful she didn't have much ammo for prolonged battles.

As dulcia pressed forward even still Liz took aim at the bridge of one of the cruisers attempting to take aim at the giant turtle and unleashed another sustained beam aimed directly for the bridge. She wanted to cook those britranian bastards alive and gods above did it feel good. A few stray rounds landed near her position lodging shrapnel into her mech but it was mostly just superficial damage for the moment. Her resold remained steadfast as she put her beam canon Asa and pulled out her Artillary canon. Launching 80mm HE shells at any large groups of mechs or soldier she could see with the intent of causing as much damage as possible.

The cloaking device deactivated. Shina instantly was greeted along with the other 25 soldiers with several shots being quickly blocked by the defensive soldiers and their plasma shields deflecting the blow. That moment the snipers line up their shots like clockwork while the picked off the easiest targets along with the heavy gunners and assault runners shooting off their weapons at quick pace. The group then split up . Shina watched as Redmann went hands on with a mech that was manned with a chain gun style weapon. He was unarmed at this point using brute force to pulverize the enemy. The robot was disemboweled pulling the pilot directly from the cockpit. Shina watched as Redmann grunted in furry crushing the soldiers spine like a toothpick in her fingers after dinner. The body dropped as his Log port stole the data to use the weapon with the same proficiency as the old pilot once used to be able to do. "LETS DO THIIIIIISSS!" The chain gun spooled before he lit up the dock like a Christmas tree.

Shina was busy herself she was behind cover using her thermals to scan the bodies blowing up left and right. She just watched a grenade blast apart one of the sniper mechs. 'Not good. we cant lose people that quick.' Shina thought before another sniper radioed in.

"I'm ok my suit is destroyed but I'm out of the mech will provide help until further notice!" The soldier was a girl just like Shina. Shina levered off two more shots from her rifle.

Flashback-

"Ok we assembled you here to discuss your role as snipers inside the special soldiers sector. Due to preventing the entire plan being released each class will learn only enough to help through the mission with updates from each soldier class. It will be then pieced together the futher in the mission you get. Your first goal everyone will know is to destroy the 4 battlecruisers. To do this you will be assigned to a group of 25-35 soldiers to get to each cruiser however you please and find necessary. Once you get in range you will go ghost. Once inside your individual mission will not be to kill but to sabotage.

Redmanns heavy soldier meeting was much the opposite. The soldier had a different plan for them in place. "OK men, women. within 72 hours you will be sent into battle with one main mission. We must destroy each one of their 4 main battlecruisers. This being said. Your specific role will be to follow along to get inside whatever means you seek fit. But you MUST stay in formation with the other special soldiers. Now once inside you will be in charge of killing the main bulk of the enemy. Ignore everyone else. You will only be focussed on destroying the masses. Your weapons are most set up for it." The female general finished before the loud HOO RAHH let off.

Redmann was lining his shots to kill off as many soldiers as he was able to. The chain gun had heated up quite a bit making him duck for cover behind a pile of destroyed mechs that was caused by the grenadiers. The soldiers were all over the place but for the most part the canines were holding their weight. The fact that they took out almost all of the mechs proved to be most useful in making them have less fighting ability. Redmann caught site of a heavy artillery team making their way out with a cannon. Not paying attention to what kind Redmann yelled into the comm system. "Heavy cannon 50 yards by the stair case and ramp!"

Shina heard the call. along with another sniper. But they had their orders. It would have to be up to the assault team to take care of that. 2 assault soldiers blasted their way into the battlefield while shina slapped a bunker buster (x3 used so far) onto a row of tanks. She quickly doubled back as the grenadier team begun moving toward the left flank of the battlefield. They were on their own now. Shina made her blessings to them in her head. and clicked the switch to set off the buster.

BOOOOOOM. The final brigade of tanks were destroyed. This meant that by now they would just have to secure the main floor. Soldiers were beginning to retreat relatively quickly at this point. Now some of them were falling back more and more were falling left and right.

The 2 assault soldiers made their way to the artillery cannon as it fired its first shot. One of the soldiers blasting the pilot with his over sized assault round tearing his body apart beyond repair. They then made their way to taking control of the artillery cannon while the snipers changed their attention to the soldiers trying to re secure the cannon. They moved up more of their heavy gunners to line down more fire including Redmann. Soldiers were beginning to hide tossing grenades. One of them caught the female sniper. "Im hit!!! MED DRONE!!"

Shina waved her hand to another mech who was properly equipped as the drone begun to aid her. She was in vital condition. Shina was getting angry now. They weren't going to start losing soldiers yet. Shina sprinted forward before the assault mech commanding the turret begun blasting apart the command center blowing shrapnel all over the place. The tide of the battle was beginning to take its turn on their favor more and more. Shina was caught off guard by one of the last mechs who approached from the sky. She blasted a shot into the shoulder. Then re aimed before seeing the mech explode only 5 yards from her above as she turned to see Redmann with the smoking tip of his gun blaring red at the muzzle from the hot metal getting blasted from it. "out of time..." He said. "All the mechs are toast. cant plug into anything."

Shina saw the man try to crawl from the cockpit he had 2 shattered legs one leg was a femur injury from the chain gun while the other seemed to be just shrapnel stuck in his leg. Shina pulled out her combat knife which was as big as the soldier and sliced it into hit back killing him instantly. She looked back at Redmann and smiled even though she was in her suit. She knew that he knew she was smiling. "This one work?"

Redmann laughed. "Of course, if i can plug in I can play!" He chanted before launching his way over to her and investigating. "Yup. green light here. We are winning the battle Shina we need those Grenadiers to pull through for us now." He said yanking the port and picking up the twin sword pistols.

The battle continued on but meanwhile the grenadier team of 5 was sent into the main halls on their way to the control station for the entire ship. If they could destroy that no one would be able to pilot the ship. The only issue was that it was in the center of the ship. They had two choices one would be to fight their way to the command center and risk losing grenadiers. Or they would be able to go to the fueling station where all the power went toward for the Galantis. If they did this there would be less fighting but it could take longer to find the station since they didn't know where it was.

(dice roll- 1-3 is they fight their way to the command center. 4-6 is they find the power source)

(once again i don't know how to save the results but it was 6. Guess you gotta trust me this time again)

The grenadiers made their way through the corridor. "We need to get to the engine room." One of them chanted. "That will be easier to fight our way through."

"You sure? Its gonna take forever to find it." Another replied.

"fuck no we need to blow apart the engine room." Said another voice.

The argument wasn't going anywhere but along the way they figured that time was currently on their side and the way the battle over Galantis was going They all figured it would be a much better route to avoid combat since they were splitting up. It was up to them to succeed in the mission. Also with the shit hitting the fan in the docking room they all figured out it would much easier to sneak around while the ship was sending a majority of their forces to the main dock inside Galantis. Of course that may have been the only dock but it wasn't the biggest. One of the Grenadiers was equipped with a scrambler to jumble up their location as they passed by each one of the cameras that littered the ceilings of the ship. It was massive but the mechs had no issues navigating through the large corridors. The ship sent them on a merry go round. Taking them turn by turn. Occasionally coming across a few enemies that were quickly silenced by the soldiers before they had a chance to figure out what just happened. Being inside the mechs gave them an obvious advantage and their weapons caused such large explosions it would leave an obvious trail to any reinforcements that wanted to find them. This was a double edged sword. Of course the battle was never going to be easy from the get go. The war was unfolding piece by piece one by one. And it was their choices that would make them live or die.

The group searched the buildings far and wide until they saw a navigation system module that directed them toward the right way. Apparently once they get to the bottom deck they would have to make a left to the end of the corridor followed by a right then another left. But it was far still they had to be at least 10 minutes away. on foot. They were in mechs. each step was much more than a typical human step. They could make it there in 5 minutes or even sooner. They would just have to fight their way through all the men and women working in the control room.

The soldiers moved out right away making their way through the halls that easily could drive a tank through by the time the went down the stairs it became much smaller only big enough to move single file and no jumping unless they wanted to put a dent in the ceiling. They made their way down the corridors finall came the first left. then the next right came into view. no men were in the halls probably all got sunmoned to the flight deck or at least up to provided reinforcements. the ship was capable of keeping a whole city inside of it. They finally came across reinforcements they were equipped with riot shields and none of them were in mechs. They lined the room with explosives. They haulted.

"Should we blas-"

BOOOOOM!!!

The men splatterd the walls the whole hallways was obliterated setting off several alarms. The shields tosses like tin foil causing soldiers to immediately retreat inside the other rooms and make their way away from the explosion. There was no way anyone on the ship would ever want to send mechs down this far into the building. They should have gotten out and gone on foot.

"Who the fuck fired!?" One guy yelled. "You just gave us away big time!"

The mech behind him shrugged. He was the only one with a shot considering the width of the hall. "Oops finger slipped..."

The soldiers all groaned now that they were no longer able to hold the element of surprise they would have to act quick. they quickly made their way into the engine room. Revealing a massive warehouse just for all the power used to drive the massive battlecruiser. It was like a factory just to keep the fucking thing running. Machines all over. Giant cogs turning and nuclear energy helping to power it. The huge amounts of cooling agents getting pumped through the hot room to keep the engine from overheating along with the volatile nuclear energy from becoming unstable. The ship was its own ticking time bomb. Literally. Just like all their ships though.....It was the price you payed for superior energy. But there were emergency cooling systems that lined the huge factory. Designed to keep an explosion from destroying the whole ship. They would have to destroy that before going for the main engines and fuel sources. It was to much for just 5 grenadiers.

"Now arent you fucking glad we stayed inside our mechs?" One soldier chanted

[SIZE= 18px]- General Artemis Romanov -[/SIZE]

[SIZE= 14px]" Thanatos 20 miles away from Mesa Skydocks "[/SIZE]

[SIZE= 18px]L[/SIZE]evitas deafening roar of pain reverberated across the sands. Excidium's backlash raked the knife-head's side, spilling hot blue luminescent blood on the desert and surrounding mechs, making the terrain slippery and muddy blue. Levitas backed off, sending a storm of sand blowing towards the center of the fighting armies.

At the same moment, two alliance battle cruisers fell from the sky on top of the warring titans. A mech was as small as a lady bug to them, so a battle cruiser was like a falling piece of firewood, it bruised their backs and exploded in a whiff of smoke and fire. They lashed it off them sending shrapnel and debris the size of garden sheds and mansions on the alliance army below and above killing hundreds.

"Do not withdraw!" Artemis commanded her troops. "Battallion Alpha Deploy shock bombs on Levitas left ribs!"

Bright cackling blue bombs launched from eight hundred hundred mechs on to the bleeding wound and exploded in a bright light. Levitas roared again, curling up in agony and one great arm gave way as he fell stunned.

"Push forward!"

The mechs clashed once more and Artemis already damaged troops from the debris of the fallen battle cruiser's fell under enemy fire, but they were able to take out Levitas eyes. Now both titans were blind. Excidium came forward sniffing out the blood of his foe. And then quite suddenly Levitas pushed itself forward, gorging the white titan in the chest.

"I thought the titan was stunned! General, orders?!"

"Drop the needle."

This was a special command only her operators on the bridge knew. It meant turn on General Romanov's old vinyl record player. Music helped her think, it invigorated and encouraged her spirit. That's why she always brought her old cassette player and tapes in missions when she was still a squad leader.

And "Thunderstruck", by ACDC played in the background.

Artemis gave the orders to stand their ground and for Dynasty Scarabs to hold off the enemy as clouds of repair drones and rescuers swooped in to recover as many damaged and injured soldiers as they could. The eastern battalions were at a stalemate. Almost equal losses, except that the enemy managed to destroy two alliance battlecruisers. They now had only six left apart from the African's five that were on the other side of the battle field facing the main bulk of Brittannia and Russia's armies. Belial looked ready to join the battle. Whoever his handler is was waiting to see if the remaining battlecruisers were going to stay together or not, because if they stay together, they can only defend either the west or the east flank. Whichever area they don't defend, Belial will swoop down and finish it off.

'This isn't working.' thought Artemis. They are taking too many losses trying to kill one titan. It did no good if you killed it only to be destroyed by the enemy's reserves later on. That' like you win, but the enemy also wins so it's still 0 on both sides with no one being able to gain the upper hand on anything since both equally lost something important.

"We need to find the titan's handlers." she muttered to herself. She switched on her personal comms and contacted a familiar frequency. "Robert, this is Artemis, I'm in need of your good eye sight once again."

@CkSmalling

Meanwhile, the enemy had broken through Artemis' left flank and were pressing the attack on the walking fortress itself whose shields were still up. Her reserves were battling them and in the heat of the moment, a company timed its entry and were able to slip through the shields as it opened to allow repair drones and rescue mechs to enter with the injured.

And the first thing this kamikaze company went for was the bridge. They were good, fighting toe to toe with the Auxillius family. The Slepnir's speed boost was damaged in the fight, and the arm of his sister's mech got blown off by a missile. One half of his father's flight thruster's was smashed inwards, compromising his mech's air maneuverability.

Missiles were launched at the huge glass window of the bridge that cracked under the fire.

[SIZE= 18px]- East Flank -[/SIZE]

[SIZE= 18px]A[/SIZE] chain of explosions boomed across the desert as Brittannia cargo mechs and their guards carrying ammunitions to the eastern rear of the frontlines of the east battalions were destroyed by Liz's beam cannon. In just half a minute, the enemy kaijus' mech guards were reduced to less than half under Tungsten Wolves and allied gunfire.

It was at this moment that Razor, the reptilian kaiju with the spiky armored back hoisted up Crusher's carcass as a shield and charged. Enemy mechs followed right behind and spearheaded the center of the east alliance battalion. They were now separated into to two and Razor held firm in the center roaring in pain as mechs from all sides took out his eyes and laid heavy fire on his back. It was a sacrifice, and the main bulk of the Eastern Brittannia battalion engulfed the separated alliance army, destroying half.

Meanwhile, after releasing a last volley of missiles and shots that took down all four of Connor's mechs, the rear support closed in for melee combat and the enemy's eastern reserves now came forward to play and finish off the separated alliance army. In the fight, About fifty fell from Connor's attacks before The Rook's armor gave way and an enemy war machine blew off the Chain Sword, sending it far away spinning into someone's cockpit in pieces.

Liz too was engaged hotly by a company of fifty mechs that damaged The Sentinel's Particle Output Enhancer's before falling to her blows.

Meanwhile Spitter engaged Minos, spraying the kaiju in that acid that melted the front of his armor, but didn't harm him as it was thick enough to withstand the acid.

Dulcia on the other hand was too slow to have stopped Razor and did not want to turn her back on the only creature that could melt her shell. To her, Spitter was the biggest threat and moved forward to meet him. She was like a mammoth to Spitter and Razor who'd be similar to the size of lions compared to her. One stomp was all she needed to kill them, only she could not catch them.

"BRING THEM TO ME!" boomed her voice in Liz' and Connor's heads.

Robert was debriefing his new unit as some were war veterans and others were newbies. Either way, he needed them all.

'Alright Ladies and Gentlemen. This is it. The fight that will determine the dawn of a new age. As usual, the victor will right the history books and i have a chapter which i will write this magnificent event. Back to the mission. I have divided you into 5 major units. Alpha, Delta and Gamma, you all have 100 troops each. Beta and Epsilon, you both have 50 troops each. The purpose of dividing you into groups is that this is a major battle and i don't want the whole lot of you to fight only one battle. There are objectives that must be completed in order to win this battle. Weaken the enemy and destroy every last one of them. Alpha, Delta and Gamma, you work will be supporting in any way that you can. You each have different attributes in your squad as i want a variation in tactics. Infiltrators, your work is to sneak in and cause as much chaos as you can, without getting caught. Assault, your work is as usual, cause much external damage as you can. Medics, support the assault with their mechs. I do believe your repair drones are fully functional and updated. Snipers, use the terrain as your cover. Eliminate enemy combat mechs as much as you can. Remember,one shot,one kill.That is my motto."

"And finally, Beta and Epsilon. You will stay here and guard the ship.You have your assignments. Sweep the entire ship. There is a chance there might be enemy combatants here to sabotage the vessel. Keep a sharp eye out and remember use the codes i have given you. If someone even breaths the wrong code, eliminate without mercy. That is all the debriefing i have for today. Questions.?"

'i have one sir," The leader of the Alpha team stood up. "When we win this battle, what are our rewards?"

Robert smiled and looked at him. " I do believe you have heard of the Legendary Strip Vessel?"

There are murmurs among the group. Some were smiling and others were shocked. "If i may clear the tension here, yes it does exist and the owner is a close friend of mine. So when we win this battle, they have an open bar for the victors."

'HHHUUURRAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! HHHUURRAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Now that is a battle cry. Alright,lock ad load people, we have a war to win and boobs to see!!!!!""""""

"HHHUURRAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HHHHUURRRRAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!" The squads divided themselves and mounted their mechs and roared to the sky.

Robert mounted his mech and took to the skies. His troops were doing what they were doing best, cause carnage as they swept the battlefield. 'Alpha team, link up with Connor.He is battling two kaiju's as we speak. Delta, guard the main guns of the ship..." And oncoming distress call from Artemis took over his comms. She needed my help and he was going to answer it. 'On my way boss." He switched to the Gamma Channel. "Gamma squad, you are with me." His kaiju was resting in the storage hold waiting for instructions.

"Artemis, i am 20 mikes from your location. If you need sniper support, give me you coordinates. My assault team are on their way." He landed on a small hill and the Gamma squad flew past him on their way to support her.

Galantis Engine Room

-Grenadiers-

The grenaders made no haste they made their way throughout the massive facility across the control decks by now they were drawing much attention to themselves from the operators. All in which were unarmed. They scrambled and panicked one of them setting off the alarm which was quickly blasted apart along with the soldier by a grenade. They focused all their energy on destroying the nuclear fission reactors. They were large orbs 5 to be exact scattered across the massive engine room. Once they were able to get these out of the way they would have to move forward with destroying the ships main engine. The massive almost football sized engine that helped to do the mechincal powering aspect of the massive Galantis. They had no time to make haste. They fired their side arms they had to take down a bulk of the soldiers that werent armed.

"Go guys split up destroy the reactors now!!!" The group made their way toward the reactors. Each one giving a "Ready" Once they made it holding their fire. They were going to shoot them all at the same time blast them apart this way there was no way that any of the engines could provide backup power to a destroyed generator.

"OK SHOOT!!!" They fired their launchers after tossing 2 grenades each into the pit causing a massive explosion one after the other. Each shot fired off echoed throughout the building causing a massive disaster setting off overloading alarms and warning lights.

They recollected to the main deck that overlooked the engine.

"Ok how are we gonna destroy this?" One of the soldiers asked. Its still making the cruiser move. Why is that??"

The alarms continued as a voice chimed into the intercom. "please evacuate, nuclear levels unstable! Please evacuate, nuclear levels unstable"

"Oh now we fucked up. We wont have enough time to blow this thing up now!!!" One soldier pushed another in rage as they begun to quarrel.

"Redmann the reactors are unstable we wont be able to get rid of the rest now!!"

Redmann was busy himself battling his way as they finally took control of the deck they were gaining the upper hand at this point. They lost another mech and solider to a mech who made its way to the deck before Redmann did the honors and eliminated him taking his shotgun. "What do you fucking mean??!?"

" Im saying that we gotta get out or get blown....."

"Exactly let the nuclear energy finish the rest. Get the fuck out!!"

Redmann got assistance from Shina who was now fighting with her heavy blade from running out of ammo. She wasn't going to be much use if she didn't have any ammo but she knew how to hold her weight with a sword. "What the fuck does that mean??!!" Shina yelled into the comms.

"It means now we get the fuck out and get to the rendezvous point." Redmann spoke into the full comm system for the special soldiers. "OK everyone out fall back meet at the rendezvous point. Anyone injured goes ghost. Anyone able to fight will continue to provide cover."

The soldiers all looked at each other inside of the engine room. "You heard the man guess our work is-" BOOOOOM BOOOOOM BOOOOOOM

Several explosions started going off the roof begun to crumble and collapse from them the soldiers hit the deck one of the grenadiers falling off the balcony. "Guys I'm OK!! " he said with a piece of beam metal on top of his mech as he shoved it off and recollected his bearings.

They all regrouped trying to make their way to the exit as the explosions grew worse and worse. The alarms got quieter from the deafening explosions; then....

The quarentine gates started blaring. The entrance closing quick with a massive metal door shutting down 40 yards from their exit point. They sprinted up to it right away. "Fuck we are locked in."

"Just blow that shit up" Said one of the grenadiers.

"Yea great idea shoot a bomb at the gate meant to contain a nuclear reaction explosion." one soldier argued.

They bickered for a few moments. "Any bright ideas. This place is going to blow any minute now." The soldiers panicked as they looked for an opening. There was no hope. It was a time bomb getting ready to explode any second.

Shina and Redmann retreated their forces as the soldiers on the main flight deck were trying to fight them off and kill all they could. The wounded mechs all retained minimum damage. Some of them had heavier damage but were still able to take flight. The battle deck was covered in blood. People all over ripped apart by oversize bullets and swords. The bodies looked mangled and the rubble from the mech and tanks littered the deck. The Crimson Canines managed to hit the loading gate switch which caused the airlock to break opening upo the battle deck that once closed them inside the temporary battle field. The hovered until it was large enough to fly out while the heavy gunners focused on shooting the majority of the enemy to keep them in cover. They finally had their window of opportunity before they all hovered out and made it outside the ship. Some of them immediately flew in close formation taking a ghost position this way they could all cloak themselves. While Redmann laid waste with his shotgun above to keep any enemy from giving them attention until he flew high up in the air above the clouds. Him along with 4 other soldiers followed along his command. They lost 2 soldiers. One still being alive but in a rough state along with a total loss on the battle field. It was a good turnout but now they had to wait for the reactors to give out and blow apart the ship. If those reactors didnt go off then they would be in serious trouble and it would be almost impossible to take the next ship down. not to mention all 3 of them. The mission was already greeted with such resistance and made it very tough to take control of the battle until the ships were out of service. Redmann used his comm for the Grenadiers. "Grenadiers do you copy? Where are you?"

No answer.

" Soldiers!!!!!"

Nothing.

"Shina do you hear anything from the soldiers?"

"Negative." They took a look at the Galantis. Nothing. It was still moving. It didnt stop.

Something didnt go right to plan.

The reactors started to start off their cooling phase with liquid nitrogen in the air system sending freezing air into the pipe system. It was lowering the overloading breaking point. "Fuk its old in here" Said one soldier.

"I thought we destroyed the liquid nitrogen reactors!?!?"

"Apparently not. Act fast we are on our own now."

The soldiers switched to their special rounds only 4 rounds each. Magma rounds. Capable of melt steel and definitely tearing apart the piping for the liquid nitrogen systems. "Look for the main tanks!"

"We cant pick them up on our scanners!!!" A grenadier shouted as the facility begun to get quieter with less explosions. There was no way out and now they were going to freeze to death along with failing the mission.

The soldiers sat as the room grew colder and colder. " it was like a weather machine was turned on to cool off the entire room." A grenadier said.

"Wait say that again."

"Its like a weather machine was turned on to cool off the entire room."

he scratched his robot chin like he had a beard. No one said a word. "Did anyone happen to see any control modules inside here?"

They all glanced at each other.

It was silent. he scanned the room and turned on he thermal sites to get a better view through the eyes of their mechs. "I got an idea." He saw a tank that showed to be the coldest. and launch his magma rounds at it. watching a massive hissing sound of releasing magma and micture of freezing air escape the large storage tank at the top of the flight deck. "liquid nitrogen like to work off of gravity. It was up in the raftors. I guess with the roof falling apart it never gave way Due to the added support for its weight. The massive tank started shifting before it fell from the raftors onto the engine assisting in the terror of stopping Galantis. The whole ship shook and the heat begun to rise again before setting off the warning alarms once again. "YES IT WORKED."

"Yea but now we still gotta get out of here."

Vicktor and Sam walked through the war bay to their mechs. Vicktor was calm and cool walking to possibly his doom, while Sam was shaking and squeezing her stress ball the whole way. Vicktor took notice of this and stopped her. "I don't want you going out there."

She looked at him and retaliated, "Why not?" She was terrified in reality but she couldn't let her brother see that.

He stared into her eyes. "Because nobody can shoot straight when they're shaking like a god-damned Chihuahua. Now I need you to get your head straight and do your damn job. You could've been in a bunker somewhere safe and sound but you decided to come here and put your life on the line for the sake of the Canines. I love you but you need to get it together and stop being a baby. Got it?"

Sam had tears coming down her face at this point and through the heavy breathing she managed to squeak out, "Yes..."

Vicktor wiped her tears and said, "Good, lets go, there's a war going on out out there."

They both hopped in their mechs and hit the ignition. They had both decided to destroy the bulk of the Russian Army. They thought that if Vicktor had taken out the main force in the front and Sam took out the reserves with her cannon from the back would be the best use of their abilities. Vicktor joined the rest of the main attack force and had begun attacking the larger targets with his rail gun, the spraying the infantry with his quad shot rockets. While Sam had sat behind the front line and fired several rounds at the reserve forces, mainly guarding the titains

"[SIZE= 18px]W[/SIZE]e need to search and take out Levitas and Belial's handlers." Artemis told Robert. "My people have been deploying observation drones all over the desert, but we haven't been able to pinpoint the exact location where they're broadcasting their signals. I need a set of better eyes out there."

She sent him marked coordinates. "Take a few of your troops, enough not to get spotted by the enemy in this chaos and recon Brittannia's rear reserves on the western flank. My analysts have intercepted several encrypted calls from that area and we believe there's a seventy eight percent chance Levitas' handler is there."

She paused for a while to listen and give orders to her officers who were losing the battle, and then came back on again. "We don't have their identities, but remember back in Panzer Ursa when you saw those two scientist put on a sort of helmet attached to a big machine? It would be like that, we saw the same thing in Vulca. A big machine with two people wearing helmets . . . I don't know why, but it seems that it needs two people to control the beasts. Take them out and destroy the machines."

@CkSmalling

Meanwhile, Artemis army was being pushed back. The enemy's west flank was winning over them and they had no choice but to leave Excidium defenseless as the white titan grappled with the knife-head who had gorged him. They were both mortally wounded, but it seemed that Levitas was the one who was going to come out alive.

"Battalions Alpha and Beta retreat and regroup twelve miles behind the reserves, Battalion Zeta prepare to engage the enemy!" She was deploying her reserves now, while the enemy still had theirs fresh and waiting for their turn. Her second and first battalions were wounded and tired. This battle was not going well for her.

The same thing was happening with their allies as another alliance battle cruiser fell. On the other side of the battlefield, the African army was being pushed back by the Brits and the Russians. The African army's experience in battle was small compared to their foes who have been in constant conflict against U.S. and Japan for the past seven months and had with them more experienced and more hardened soldiers.

(OOC: @CkSmalling, feel free to let loose until you find Levitas handlers. Dice battle will begin once you make the first move on them. It's up to you how Robert finds them.)

There was a Russian general fighting in the frontlines who seemed to be the one inspiring and invigorating his soldiers to battle heroically. Taking him out would decimate the morale of those fighting in the frontlines. He saw the two annihilating most of the soldiers and flew out to confront them.

His missile hit the back of Sam's mech, but the resilium armor held. Vicktor's Murder Inc. was not so lucky, a missile exploded on his side, badly damaging his Quad Shot Launcher. Another hit and it was going to be destroyed.

"Roger that Artemis.I have your back. i will report in as soon as i have visual. I will send a few of my assault team as your back up. Take care of them for me will ya? Over and out." With that he shut down his comms and headed to the directions.

"Sir, my sensors detect an enemy convoy a few yards ahead.Shall i engage?" Alice spoke.

"No.Let the recruits have that kind of fun. We have important targets to eliminate." Robert responded. "Alright team. The enemy convoy is all yours.Rain hell asmuch as you like and be careful. Sniper team. You are with me."

"Roger that sir." One soldier replied.

'On it Sir." Another replied.

"We have your back sir." Said another.

The remaining assault team ambushed the unsuspecting Britannia soldiers from the air and from the ground. Vehicles exploding everywhere, people screaming from each and every direction and blood and guts spilling everywhere. Suddenly the heavy enemy mechs arrived and his cockpit turned from cool blue to crimson red.

"Sir, we have incoming enemy mechs. Shall i ready the weapons sir?"

"Yes please." The Dominatrix right arm turned into a Gatling gun and with the help of his improvised targeting system, he fired at the incoming mechs. A half dozen if the mechs fell into a fiery explosion before even they could reach him. Seven remain. This he had to savor hand to hand combat. The right arm returned to normal and he unsheathed the scimitar from his back and the left arm drew a shield. He banged the sword three times on the shield and charged. He bashed the front line mech with the shield sending it spiraling down and pierced the one on his right with the shield straight down the mid section, severing it almost in half. He stood over the fallen mech and stomped on the cockpit. He was pushed back by a charging mech, almost topping over but he stood his ground. The enemy mech charged and both shield clashed together. They both took a step back and clashed again and again. Seeing this battle was going nowhere, he readied his shield and sword. "Well now,lets see how clever you are." He charged and the enemy mech charged as well. When he was a few yards from the enemy, he charged his scimitar. The sword literally lit up with electrical charges. He though the mechs had some time of electrical resistance but he did not need much, just enough to stagger him. And the plan worked. The mech staggered and lost some functions and he struck. Right dead center and ripped the pilot out of the machine. As he was getting a breather, an enemy mech snuck behind him. As he was about to strike, some of his sniper crew shot the pilot from a distance.

"Thanks guys."

"Anytime sir."

And then there were two. He looked at the two remaining and though to himself," What would Indiana Jones do?" He smiled, lifted his right arm and it transformed to the gatling and emptied the remaining bullets on the 2 mechas. Overkill? Nope.Not really. He looked around to see the aftermath of his destruction. He shrugged his shoulders and moved to the coordinates.

After a few minutes of flying, he stopped his mech on a very large hill and exited, he found a good nest and ordered his snipers to look for a decent cover and to cover their lenses to prevent glare and muffle their weapons. He took his new Widow Maker and looked through the scope. The titan was huge and that was a fact,but he focused on the surrounding areas. For something this huge, the handlers should be mobile on a small vessel of some sought. No need for a gigantic vessel so he focused on the smaller freight ships or vehicle. After a few seconds, he spotted the handlers. He zoomed again and saw two people wearing a very large helmet and guards at the back. This was a disadvantage as as soon as he fires one shot, he had to be precise to kill all four of them in quick succession. The pilot was a floor below so he was no problem to dispatch. He loaded suppressor bullets and took aim. 4 shots in 4 seconds. If he would pull this off, he would drunk himself silly when he was through with this. He looked around and saw nobody. Excellent.

"Snipers, do you have visual on the handlers?"

"i have eyes on the guard on the left." Said one

"i have eyes on the guard on the right." Said another.

"i have eyes on the handler on the right." Said one.

"i have eys on the pilot." said the last soldier.

"Excellent.Fire on my mark." he pressed a button on his suit and his camouflage activated, blending him and his weapon against the environment.

"Fire in three, two,one... Shoot!" he pressed the trigger and the muffle sound of the bullet leaving his weapon was all the sound he could hear.

His chain sword was blasted from his hand and flew into an enemy mech's cockpit. The Rook was beaten, bruised, and her armor was failing. But he couldn't die here. There were still other bastards that had to be killed. And he wanted to be the one that did the killing. "This is Alpha Wolf to Den, I hope you got a little surprise ready for the front lines. I think our boys'll need it." he radioed to his base.

"Copy that Alpah Wolf. Den is loading up right now. Expect heavy ordinance shortly, ETA 2 minutes until first volley, and I'm being lenient." came the swift reply.

"Good. Thank you very much, Den." As he had that short discussion, he disengaged. The enemy did not pursue, they probably thought it was a trap and he had planned for this already. He was from the famous Typhoon squad of the Crimson Canines after all. He wasn't dumb enough to just disengage to only come right back in. No, preposterous. But the trick was on them, he was that stupid. "Minos, drop it, go for Spitter." he ordered his Kaiju, who was had already practically tore its way through the meat shield Razor was holding. Minos did just that, suddenly ignoring Razor as if it didn't exist and making a bee line for Spitter, horns lowered and ready to gore the acid spitting kaiju.

Connor, meanwhile, prepared to re-engage. Checking his gun to see if it would fire properly, it would, and and making sure his Thermo Knuckles weren't loose, they weren't. "Liz, I sent Minos after Spitter. Remember, you aren't alone up there. Wolves hunt together after all. If you think you're in a pinch, yell and they'll help. Now, I'd like some help myself." And with that, he opened up with his HMMG and dove towards the enemy, firing off a demo man once he got in range. Once he closed into CQC, he held his gun in one hand, making sure to use up all that delicious ammo in the box, and swung punches with his free hand. He would fight on the ground, it'd give him one less side for him to worry about. And once the AA started to open up it'll also force them down. But he had decided, he was going to make his stand here. If he was to die, then he would die under a mound of Brotherhood mechs and corpses.

[SIZE= 18px]T[/SIZE]hree foes crumpled under the sniper squadron's ambush: the two guards and one of Levitas' handlers; Robert's bullet missed the other handler by mere millimeters. There was a split-second of realization of what just happened before the last handler dove behind cover, he or she was looking here and there not knowing the precise locations of the assassins, but knew from the blood splatter that the shots came from the east.

The pilot swerved the small freight ship, so that the last handler and pilot were out of sight and began jetting out its thrusters for the denser safety of the reserves. A pursuit was inevitable, the ship had to be taken down before its reinforcements, which outnumbered Robert's small squadron, could come and make it extremely difficult for them to accomplish their goals.

They were coming, about fifty mechs, some carrying giant sniper rifles of their own.

@CkSmalling

Meanwhile, in the front lines Levitas suddenly stopped mauling Excidium for some reason. The white titan, who's chest had been gorged by the knife-head and was pinned under his foe, grabbed this opportunity and slashed at his throat, but missed, raking his chest instead; Levitas roared and in one final blow speared the white titan's massive neck with its knife head.

"Excidium!" cried Artemis.

The enemy soldiers roared in triumph, but their triumph was short lived when Levitas suddenly backed off, swatting the advancing Brittannia mechs out of its way as if it was confused and suddenly couldn't recognize friend from foe.

In the rear the wyvern titan Belial spread its great wings that spanned four mountains and kicked up into the sky, sending a storm of sand everywhere. Finally it made its move and winged for the left flank. The advancing Brittannia formation that had been pushing Artemis' army back withdrew and scattered. Her army didn't pursue, they withdrew closer to the Mesa Skydocks underneath the remaining four alliance battle cruisers and reformed their ranks into a looser more defensive position.

The acid-spitting kaiju roared in pain, bright blue blood spilling on to the sands. It all came to this now, who deals the last blow. An acid spit through the exposed flesh, or a gut rip to finish the other off.

Down below Connor and his foes were tearing each other apart in the frontal assault. The mound of broken mechs grew taller as the Demomen ran out of missiles, and the mecha machine gun's ammo belt was spent, but the enemy was defeating the alliance east flank, pushing them back closer to the Mesa Skydocks.

A hundred reinforcements from Robert's Alpha team came in and slowed the advance as for a time his snipers began taking out high value targets and the enemy replied by bombing and blasting with destructive plasma beams the places where his men were firing.

Brittannia's west reserves were now all in the battle. Up above, one of the enemy's four battle cruiser's, The Galantis, was falling, and a couple of fighters were warily watching waiting to see which direction it was falling.

"Goddamit!!!!!!!!!" Robert said in frustration as he saw his bullet missing the handler. If she had kept still for just a millisecond he could have killed her. He saw that three of the five people in the cabin were dead. Fortunately, its takes months training for one to successfully mind meld with the great beasts and he knew it took the best of the best to do that job. So the chance of the enemy having a backup of a handler is possible but he hoped there were none. At least one handler was dead but one is still alive and went to hide with the reserves. Back up was on the way and he had 5 minutes tops for him to kill the handler and the pilot. If the small ship was to crash he was sure there was no backup ship to continue to control the titan. He reloaded his rifle and looked through the scope. He found the ship alright but shooting it was a bit of a challenge. Shooting a small vessel was of a challenge by itself but shooting at a ship and the pilot knows his life is in danger, now that is a challenge in itself. Patience was his strength but in this situation, he had none of it. He placed his hand on the trigger and waited for the opportune time to strike.

He switched on his comm link. "Alright men. We have one handler and one pilot left. We have to destroy that ship. I will fire at the handler again and you Jake fire at the pilot. The rest of you, concentrate your weapons on the engines. If we manage to hit the engine before they touch down, there is a chance the ship might explode. Got the new orders men?"

"Yes sir." They all responded.

"this time I will not miss." He mumbled to himself. He kept his eye on the small vessel, ready to see if the pilot will make a mistake. And he did. He was so into himself that he actually tried to perform a scissor move, which involved slowing down the vessel so that he can throw his aim off.

He pressed on the trigger and the others did the same. Reinforcements were now 4 minutes away and if they pull of this, he would just retreat and honeypot the others to where his other backup solders were.

[SIZE= 18px]T[/SIZE]he freight ship's engine exploded and the entire thing crashed into the sands, rolling down a sand dune before it settled at the bottom, smoking and on fire. A mech tumbled out of the wreckage --- it was the pilot, carrying the last handler and hoisting some large machine onto it's mechanical back.

That was an odd thing to do, out in the open desert, they'd be mince meat to the snipers, but the reason became apparent when the ship suddenly exploded again.

They tried to make a run for it, but this time Robert and his team's shots flew true and the mech stumbled, the moment the cockpit glass cracked from the bullet entry, blood splattering across the inside; The handler too lay lifeless.

By this time the enemy reinforcements had already come within firing range and it seemed they had life sensors with them because they began bombing Robert's area; the machine the dead pilot's mech had been hauling was still in good shape, it was obvious that this was part of the mind dominating device. Robert and his team could leave now and fly immediately to safety, or engage the enemy in a gun fight to try and retrieve the machine with their mechs or just destroy it.

"[SIZE= 18px]B[/SIZE]race yourselves!" said Artemis as she watched Belial swoop down on them, giant talons raised. But to their surprise, the titanic wyvern attacked Levitas, smiting the titan with a blow that slammed it into the ground, cracking the earth, generating an earthquake and shockwave that blew away flying mechs and enshrouded the battlefield in one great giant sand cloud.

The enemy must be losing control over the knife head --- Robert must have been successful! Finally, something went their way! The roars of the fighting titans cascaded over their ears as the sounds of war resumed. Apparently, that one blow did not kill Levitas immediately and the wind around their struggle blew away all surrounding mechs. The formation of all the battalions in the front line were broken and they were all regrouping quickly so that they can charge at their scattered foes.

Levitas had grabbed hold of Belial's leg and pulled the massive wyvern down into the sands; Artemis took this opportunity to lower her shields and together with the allied battle cruisers, focused fired on Belial, raining a hail of death around one of its membranous wings, sizzling it with holes.

Meanwhile, the enemy regrouped first and charged into the alliance front lines, breaking them completely. Soon it was going to be the turn of Artemis injured and tired two remaining battalions. They have to protect the battle cruiser's and the walking fortress now, these were the only vessels that carried enough fire power to bring Belial down twelve miles away from the Mesa Skydocks.

Shina flew out with the rest of the group. As they flew through the sky they kept looking back as if they had a bad twitch to wait and see the Galantis ship stop moving. Explode. light up into flames. Something.

Nothing. This wasn't making sense. They blew up the engine they said. They shouldn't have left the ship bay so early now they wouldn't be able to reenter using the same plan. Nothing came to make sense. What happened? Maybe the ship had a second power source they failed to sabotage. The group came to a circle in the sky. It was their "Flock" per-say, their squad circled as they all communicated about the rendezvous point.

"We cant leave without the grenadiers." Shina called worried.

"Look none of us have a choice. We need to meet at the sand scarab. Commanders orders directly. once we leave the ship. we go to the rendezvous point. We are lucky this many made it this far already." Redmann spoke with conviction. He himself knew the fact that the Galantis may not end up being stopped. They would have to make due though. The ship had been slowed down by killing many of the men along with blasting a majority of their heavy equipment including the mechs and tanks. That would help and although the ship had a few docks they occupied the main dock was sought after for a reason.

"We need to go...." Redmann said. the other soldiers all quiet with the occasional sigh over the intercoms. No one was happy with the outcome.

The mechs sprawled out from their circle make their flight pattern above the clouds out of the way where they shut off their cloaks. This was the calm between the storm. They all gained distance from the battlefield making their way to the outer ring of the battle. Far east. Here mission Sand Scarab would be underway.

When they landed they glanced around. "where is it?" A soldier activating a repair drone said while the drone buzzed around him like a fly on shit.

"Wheres what?" A sniper replied.

"The rendezvous point....No ones here."

They were surrounded by rock formations. Right in the middle of the cover. No enemy nearby to bother them occasionally a drone buzzing around but nothing major.

"This is where we are supposed to meet I thought?" Said the soldier once more.

"SHHHHHH..... " Redmann hushed.

"What... ??" he replied.

"Its here."

"what is?"

"Our destination."

The ground began to rumble beneath them.

[SIZE= 18px]T[/SIZE]he west flank was beaten. Artemis' walking fortress and the alliance's remaining four battle cruiser's, apart from Africa's five battling the main army, withdrew to the center. Her tired, beaten battalions were demoralized and many companies were routing heading for the safety of the Mesa Skydocks or away from Deserty Nowhere entirely.

None but eight hundred of the toughest, unflinching, and most loyal soldiers who would stop at nothing to achieve their goals remained. She could hear them now, her bloodied generals rallying their troops back to the battle field, where the enemy, invigorated by the promising tide of battle pressed the attack to the center.

Belial had just defeated Levitas, a gaping hole in one membranous wing. The wyvern titan could no longer fly as it turned its attention to the alliance battle cruisers that had never ceased raining death at it. The monster gave a deafening roar and moved in with the enemy army to attack the center.

Their foes were now changing tactics. Let Belial wreck havoc in the center, while the enemy focused their efforts in destroying the alliance battle cruiser's and the walking fortress.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the battle field, the five African battle cruisers hovering behind the Mesa Skydocks were laying waste to hundreds of enemy soldiers without any contest, for the mounted artillery of the Tungsten Wolves' fortress kept them safe. They've effectively stopped the advance of the main Brittannia and Russian armies who were now just putting up shields and waiting for Thanatos to come forward to be their meat shield.

The shells missed Robert by mere inches. He scurried back to his mech and loaded all his weapons. He held his shield up and unleashed his gatling. He loaded a new magazine and aimed at the incoming reinforcements.

"Alright men, we have to take a stand. They have left a mind control device which may turn the tide of this war. We need that device no matter what. There are 12 mechas coming our way and we are outnumbered. That is obvious. A wise man once said, "Strength does not mean numbers..."

"Zonoroa Zoro said that. At fishman island." said one soldier.

"yea i remember that. He was arguing with Sanji as usual." said another.

'Then Luffy used.."

"Enough!!! Yea its Ronoroa Zorro and someone here has not yet reached that arc yet"

"Thanks boss."

"So as i was saying, we have to make this work. Everyone pick your targets. I will try to weaken them with my Gatling and then we engage."

"On your mark sir."

Robert kept his weapon steady and waited for the enemy to draw close. He opened a channel to one of his commanders.

"Keith, i am about to engage the enemy. Send 50 men to my coordinates. We are outnumbered and need some back up just in case."

"Yes sir. Sending the assault team your way." At the base, 50 mechs launched and made their way to him. ETA 6 minutes.

When the enemy mechs were in close and he pressed the trigger. The 6 cylinders rotated and began firing a hail of bullets at the enemy."

-Sand Scarab-

Rocky outcrop outside battlefield of deserty nowhere

The earth exploded as all the soldiers were lifted up into the air. The beast beneath them appeared to be a beast. They readied their weapons ready to retaliate with force. They ceised. It was not a monster, not a beast. It was their ride.

The sand scarab robot lifted them up into the air about 50 feet followed by another fifty feet as the massive machine was probably big enough to fit 50 mechs inside the shell persay. It had long crab like arms much how a scarab or crab in the ocean or sand would have. It was a special underground unit that the Crimson canines used in mainly sand environments but because it was not very practical to fire weapons from it was retired and strictly used for recon. This mission was perfect to gain the element of surprise though so it was brought out of retirement and geared up as a transport and repair and ammo bay.

The top flipped open as all the mechs hopped inside. Upon Redmann and Shina ready to follow Shina looked out of the corner of her eye and spotted something. "Redmann whats that?" She said zooming in with her raptor vision.

He turned to gaze at what she was pointing at. "It....is..."

"Redmann. This is grenadier squad. You cant leave without us now can you?" One of the soldiers teased.

Shina yelled in excitement. "You guys are alive?!?!?!" She yelled as they all landed on top the scarab. they gave each other big robot hugs and readied them selves for boarding. There was 1,2,3,4, and 5. They all made it. "But how?!"

They hushed them both and all hopped inside the scarab as they dismounted their suits within the next 5 minutes and the pilot announced they would be burying now. As the scarab began to scratch its way into the ground they were surrounded by sand. Literally. They were probably 50 feet under the earth burrowing toward their next target. The 2nd Massive battlecruiser.

"So howd you guys do it?!?! We thought you didnt make it. The ship was still standing until we lost sight of it." Redmann asked.

The soldiers all laughed. "Well it definitely did not go as planned. let me start with that." one said as he removed his helmet and the repair drones began fixing up quick repairs along with reloading all their weapons except Redmanns of course since he was timed out.

When the ships cooling system was destroyed everyone in the ship begun to sense the motor overheating. The soldiers all trapped had no where to go since the area was shut down. But once one of them realized that the 2nd floor was destroyed they were able to fly up to it getting away from the heat followed by more sabotage. The soldiers used the rest of their ammo trying to ensure the ships engine system would be useless. Followed by several explosions on board the ship. It was working. They followed up with being able to smash a hole through some of the rubble that was already a weak wall Blasting through it with their fists and exiting literally right out the top of the ship. The warehouse sized motor room was so tall that it let them out onto the top of the ship where they saw a series of explosions begin to unfold blasting apart the infrastructure of the battlecruiser. Last but not least they high tailed it out of there as the massive Galantis took its last step and collapsed. Finally succeeding in destroying a main piece of their army. Of course there was no way of telling how many were alive considering the ship didn't completely vaporize. However it was more than useless. All the main bays collapsed upon the Galantis falling on its own weight along with the whole motor being ruined and the thermal energy vaporizing alot of the metal. That ship was never gonna dissapear until the sands of time in the desert covered it up. So the group took high altitude and flew to the coordinates they had all been sent prior to the mission.

Redmann begun to laugh. "Who would have known you guys would have made it." He tried to break the seriousness and gave them friendly hugs "Im so glad we got you guys. Now load up we have 3 left. We will meet with group beta. Another 50 soldiers need to help us on this one." with that everyone began to regroup and get back to work. They had 20 minutes until they reached their target so the calm before the storm rose upon them once again. This time the other battlecruisers will know they will be coming after them. Especially since now they have to go after a much tougher target.

"Which ship is next on the list?" Shina asked Redmann.

He sighed. "The defensive battlecruiser. Its called Busterius."

Shina nodded. She at this point engaged in some small talk with her fellow comrads. She begun to recall the general. Artemis Romanov. She was supposed to contact her upon the first cruiser getting destroyed. Now that Galantis was out of the way they would have yet another fish to fry. She pulled up Artemis and her comm signal. She spoke into the comm system after taking a chug of water and dumping some on her hot sweaty head and hair soaking it a little just to help the heat. "General Artemis, This is Shina of the special units soldier squadrent. The first battlecruiser has been eliminated from play. We are in route to the battlecruiser Busterius. Do you copy? Whats your status? Over."

The remaining four enemy mechs carried shields and they formed a phalanx as they advanced bombing their area. There was one sniper among them and the piercing bullet from this foe damaged The Dominatrix's cloaking screen system.

There was an opportunity to advance and get to the machine as the sniper withdrew behind the wall of shields to reload. It was a race to see who was going to get to the machine first. Behind the remaining twelve foes were hundreds more from the enemy's reserve. It was now or never before the risk of mass casualties becomes imminent: Destroy or take the machine?

"[SIZE= 18px]G[/SIZE]eneral, we found the handlers!" said one of Artemis' analysts on the bridge.

"Good job!" said Artemis.

The Endurance was taking a lot of hits, but her shields still held. The center alliance reserves engaged the enemy soldiers from the west flank. Artemis army dwindled quickly and had retreated to the safety of the walking fortress just as their foes did from the heavy armored units of the U.S. and the stealthy desert wolf Okami's of Japan. Behind the scenes clouds of her repair drones and Dynasty Scarabs were rescuing soldiers and carrying the wounded to the Mesa Skydocks or inside The Endurance. The walking fortress did indeed look like a hive full of buzzing insects.

Her soldiers fought harder, not only to defend The Endurance's superstructure armaments that had now successfully destroyed Belial's right eye with the now three alliance battle cruisers, but also to protect their injured friends inside. Truly, having something close to protect boosted perseverance in the face of overwhelming odds.

"Panzer, this is Artemis, do you copy?" she spoke to her comms.

"I'm busy!" came the reply followed by the sound of a roaring flamethrower.

"Listen, we found Belial's handlers, I'm sending you the coordinates of their last known location."

"Alright, but I need better eyes. Where's Robert?"

"Busy. I'll contact another person to help." Artemis switched frequencies. "Shina, we found Belial's handlers, we need your eyes to take them down with Panzer Dragon. Do you copy?"

Shina listened in as Artemis contacted back to her. She seemed distressed. The mission may not have gone as smoothly as they wanted it to considering how she needed Shina for the mission. However Artemis also didnt want to command the special units either. THey wanted to go after Belial and the handlers instead. She digured this would be a smart move to continue helping out with her assignefd mission but Artemis had overrule on her since they were in the same squadrent the generals wouldnt oppose to her leaving especially since Redmann and alot of the soldiers made it out. The main group only lost 2 men. One who was killed and the other who was injured but out of commision for the battle. THe other soldier made it out with his life and that was all that mattered. "I copy. Where is your location?" Shina asked follwoed with. "Ill help out. But I need to resurface from the Sand scarab which may take a bit since we arent allowed to surface until we are underneath the next Battlecruiser." Shina made her way to the control room outside her mech and talked to the commander. They were still far enough outside the battlefield to make a resurface without any major issues. Considering this and also a little but of arguing with the captain of the ship he decided to give her the approval to resurface.

Shina nodded. "Ok send me your coordinates. Give me 5 minutes ill make it there." Shina made her way to the docking bay and loaded on her helmet and grabbed some of her basic gear along with assessing her current state of her mech. Its repairs were done as great as they could be. For the most paert she only recieved generaldamage nothing major so it wouldnt be to big of a deal unless she was hit by something major. Shina logged into the ECU with her spinal ECU port and her eyes transferred to the Shiryoku. She spoke. "Ready captain."

The machine made its way to the surface only long enouhg for the skylight on the machines back to open up letting in flurrs of sand and dust. She activated her thrusters and launched out before watching it dissapear back underneath the ground. She was miles out. She had to make it there as fast as she could. Shina activated her turbo thrusters to initiate top speed. However she would have to act quick and make it there without being detected. She took a higher altitude and she couldnt use the Ghost transmitters to cloak herself. The other soldiers had them. She flew through the sky listening to the wind fly past her. She could almost feel her hair in the wind brush past her. It reminded her of the first time she flew her mech. How free she felt. How beautiful it was to be free from the ground. Shina saw Belial the colossus beast and begun to close in with her coordinates. The raptor vision truly helped her in the high sky in zooming in through the height. She was the size of an ant in the sky. Far above the battle field. A few mechs tagged underneath her but not aware of her location. She slowed down to cruising speed. "Artemis, Panzer. Do you copy Im high flying." (up above you guys)

Robert watched as one of his allies was rained on by missiles and explode. He was the one that was still in the Marineford Arc. He closed his eyes as he gave the fallen comrade a brief moment of silence. He was rudely interrupted when a shell missed his mech by mere millimeters again and this woke him up. He looked at his surroundings and saw the sniper rifle that his fallen foe has left behind. He made a dash for it only to be stopped abruptly when the enemy sniper shot him clean on the chest. Luckily, or unluckily, his cloaking system was damaged. That would not affect him, at least not at the moment. His finger was ready to activate the repair drones but decided against it. He managed to reach the rifle and hide behind cover. He examined the rifle. Not to shabby for the recruit. He took a deep breath and looked through the scope. He saw the enemy alright but only his back. This one deserves a head shot.

"Sir, we are losing the chance to get the machine." said one soldier.

"Relax men. Have faith in your boss will you?" He replied casually.

The sniper looked through his cover at his direction. Wrong move pal. He squeezed the trigger and the bullet flew through the air towards the enemy. There was a blood splatter on the cockpit and the mech fell over.

The backup came as promised and completely annihilated the enemy mechs.

"Sorry we took our sweet time boss." Said the squad leader.

"No worries mate. I need four mechs to transport our fallen soldier to the hub so that we can give him the proper burial rights. Our primary objective is to get that control mech from the enemy lines. Now if things turn very thick, launch missiles at it. Can i get a AAWUUUUU!!!!!!!"

"AAAWUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!" came a unified response.

"40 mechs stay back and provide cover fire. The rest, follow me."

The assault began. The assault team charged their way towards the enemy lines. He was hoping the enemy was still thinking we were suppressed and cannot fight. It was a small glimmer of hope but the team did not need to know that, did they?

[SIZE= 18px]R[/SIZE]obert's soldiers reached the machine first. It was now theirs to do whatever they wished, though the titan Levitas had already been killed by Belial.

A close inspection of the machine by an engineer would reveal that it emitted a signal that could be used to track the dominating device of the other handlers, a most important ability especially now that Thanatos was a mere six miles away from the Mesa Skydocks and it seemed the alliance will not have enough firepower to bring the beast down. It needed a power source, though, and about an hour for engineers to work on it without fear of being killed. The closest place to do that would be Artemis' walking fortress, though it was currently heavily engaged by the enemy. There is the Mesa Skydocks about twelve miles away, but that area too was being laid siege to by the main forces of Brittannia and Russia.

Another bomb hail rained around the vicinity. It seemed that the enemy had decided to destroy their machine instead. Robert lost thirty-eight soldiers in the charge, just as they wasted clusters of the enemy. The Dominatrix was riddled with bullets and had a gash where an enemy mech had rent it with a giant blade, but overall the mech didn't take too much damage. The cloak screen was still glitching up, though.

[SIZE= 14px]" Thanatos 6 miles away from Mesa Skydocks "[/SIZE]

"[SIZE= 18px]Y[/SIZE]es, we see you." Artemis told Shina. "Sending last known location of handlers."

The picture of an ordinary looking heavily armored Brittania repair mech with a bulky cargo bay and a faded "CM-848" label on its shoulder and cargo flashed across Shina's and Panzer's screens. There was an additional picture of a zoomed in shot inside the cockpit through a bullet hole. One could barely make out three pilots inside, two of which were wearing helmets similar to the ones Volkov's scientists were wearing back in the underground chamber in Vulca. It was definitely the mind dominating device, and the two pilots were looking at a holographic screen that had an image of Belial's anatomy and vital signs. On the mini-map was a big orange marker that pointed to the general area where they were last seen and it was at the feet of Belial a kilometer away to the west under the rampaging wyvern's tail.

Through Shina's sharp eye sight, there currently was a mech like that right now hovering behind Belial safely guarded by ten mechs behind the front lines, about two kilometers away. They seemed to not have noticed Shina yet.

"Got it. Beginning the search." said Panzer. In the distance, his three-armed crimson Vulcan came flying into Shina's view. It had twenty of Artemis' mechs with it in a very loose formation so as not to draw attention like a clustered group would in the chaotic sky. There were ten Goliaths, five Dynasty Scarabs, and five hovercrafts.

"I'm going out, second-in-command take charge!" said Artemis. Her old Dynasty Scarab waited for her in Mecha Hangar 21 in the walking fortress. "Hello old girl, ready for another mission?" she said fondly as she revved up the engine and turned the mech systems online. The red beetle strode out of the docking bay and into a launcher that catapulted it into the sky.

Once out of The Endurance's protective shields, she let loose a beam from her Chrysanthemum laser array at a cluster of mechs guarding Belial. Flashes of explosions dotted the sky. That got their attention. "Shina, I'll be bait and draw as many mechs away from Belial." She winged in a loop, Bastion Deflection Shields protecting the enemy's retaliation fire.

@tammynorthland

Panzer's group engaged the enemy. One can't get close to Belial without meeting heavy fire. His mech's Thundercloud blades were out and he slashed through the battle field like a hurricane of blades. But the Britts were still pushing Artemis army back, they were just that good.

Meanwhile, the great hulking Thanatos strode forward, the crown of its massive horned head touching the sky and parting the clouds in its passing. Each step sent a shock wave of wind and sand from as far as a kilometer, its clawed foot could easily kick a titan aside. If a kaiju as tall as a sky scraper was like a lion to a titan, who was like a mammoth to it in size, Thanatos was like a blue whale to them. It raised a massive clawed hand and swiped the air in front of it.

The mere wind of it blew the alliance battle cruiser's off course and sent a cloud of dust into the Mesa Skydocks. The alliance fired into the massive meat of the creature, but the blood loss was just a trickle to it, like trying to deal critical damage to a man when all you have is a needle. Behind Thanatos, the main army of Brittannia and Russia advanced. They were just ten minutes away from the Mesa Skydocks.

"Sir, package is...."

"FIRE THE DAMN ARTILLERY ALREADY!" Connor shouted from inside his mech, caving in another cockpit with his metal fists. How dare they. How dare they think that they can just come in and roll over Connor James McKinley. How dare they think that Scarred Mesa would just roll over for them. After all they've done? After all he's been through? After everyone he's lost? Not if he had anything to say about it, and he had a lot to say.

Scarred Mesa Skydock briefly lit up with the flashes of artillery, moments later a sound like rolling thunder crossed the battlefield, which was followed by a hail of artillery rounds that slammed into the enemy across the entirety of the front. More Tungsten Wolves came from the base, reserves that were to be used to be placed as and where they were needed. And currently, they were needed on the Eastern flank. Husseling behind the mechs were rows of vehicles, some carrying infantry, and some of those carrying the pride and joy of the Tungsten Wolves.

But for Minos, he didn't really care. Finally, that kaiju that had beaten him once was impaled on his horns and near death. Though he had taken the full brunt of Spitters acid spray, Minos didn't seem to notice, the battle fury completely controlling him. And with a savage shake of his head, he eviscerated his long time enemy, the grudge never forgotten even after so long. But he, like his master Connor, would back down now. The enemy was right in front of him. He would smash and destroy, rip and tear, until either he won, Connor got a handle on him, or he died. It was as simple as that.

"PROTECT DULCIA!" he shouted at the reinforcements, knowing full well that the dragon turtle could get more done alone they he could.

tammynorthland · Jan 28, 2017

Shina layed down a flight pattern to draw some of the enemies attention. Her goal was simple. She was commanded to lure the enemy away and try and take as many out as possible. She was planning on doing this based on taking high flight patterns followed by picking them off one by one. She had to line up each shot perfectly. It wasn't going to be easy considering the heavy fire everyone was going to lay on her in the very beggining of the battle. Shina was going to let her comrad Artemis be the bait just as she commanded. The enemy was ten deep. There had to be an efficient way to take each one of them out. She lines up her first shot zooming in the scope to ensure there was solid contact on the first mech. Shina fired and blasted a long 100 yard shot at the enemy before descending to gain an easier second shot. Her second shot was lined up through the scope before the enemy had even a moments notice to react. SHe lined up onto the second mech in her sites a cockpit shot that would hope to kill the operator. She fired.

BOOOM

Shina made her evasive maneuvers trying her best to lure the targets away. The battle already begun to grow in heat and pressure. Her sole goal was to keep them at bay. She deployed her pyro-drone in hopes to keep her defensive guard up as anyone that got to close would be incinerated or give her enough reaction to play a good shot onto them at close range.

[SIZE= 18px]S[/SIZE]pitter fell, bathing the area where he lay in noxious acid. This victory invigorated the alliance's east flank and they rallied, overcoming Razor and the enveloping enemy. Brittannia and Russian soldiers began to route, but the alliance didn't pursue. Their center was in trouble and the west had been beaten by the enemy.

The east flank replaced the center reserves who now pitted all their battalions in defending the alliance's last two battle cruisers and battling the enemy fighting in the center. Dulcia stomped forward slowly getting in between the rampaging Belial and the center soldiers. She snapped her giant dragon turtle beak at Belial's feet but missed. Belial retaliated by hooking his wyvern claws under the shell and began hauling the Dulcia up in an attempt to flip her on the back of her shell which would make her entirely useless for the entire battle.

[SIZE= 18px]M[/SIZE]eanwhile Shina's shot had taken out one of Belial's handler. The enemy was taken by surprise. In that instant Belial flinched, then looked from side to side shaking its head as though trying to wake up. The Brittannia CM-848 repair mech carrying the last handler and its pilot swerved around Belial's tail for cover just as its guard began engaging Shina.

Chasing enemy mechs carrying shields, swiftly moved in, firing a barrage of laser fire that damaged the Shiryoku's cloaking drone. There were ten of them, and one was a sniper mech hovering close to the handler's mech, lining up its sights in an attempt to shoot the Shiryoku's giant sniper rifle off.

Shina swerved through the air as the shot she was receiving was going all over the place. She definitely gained their attention and it was obvious that they weren't happy. Belials handler never had been closer to their fingertips. Destroying this would be a huge change in tides for the war. There had to be a smarter way to get in closer. Shina sent in her Pyro drone to attack mode by commanding it through her ecu inside the Shiryoku. The way she commanded it was through its eyes. It was almost as if she really was the mech she piloted. It was very unique to people like her because it gave her body a new sense of living. She didn't experience pain in it nor human feelings those would only be possible on her human body. Of course the mech getting damage was no exclusion. She evaded the enemies attacked to the best of her ability and begun to line up another shot.

BOOM

She fired at a nearing mech that tried to take her out with one of the assault rifles. She begun another set of dives and barrel rolls to keep them on their toes. From the distance she was at, it would be tough to land a fatal shot on her. She set up her scanners combined with her raptor vision and begun to scope out the enemy. They all were equipped with assault rifles and general artillery. From this distance she would be relatively safe unless they got to close which it would be her job to take them out before they make it that close.

Shina hesitated and zoomed into a mech near the Belials handler..... 'Fuck.' Shina scoped the sniper the mech was lining up a shot. If she kept moving around it would be extremely tough to get a good shot on her. But she would have to line up and fire first. Shina flew further out hoping that the pyro drone in the line of battle would be able to hold off the enemy to buy her enough time to take the shot. She suspended her mech in mid hair hovering very still to be able to line up her sights. It was about a 155 yard shot. Estimated chance of hitting would be determined on her at this point. She decided to go after the torso from a tough shot like this considering it held the highest chance of hitting and also held the highest chance of hurting the pilot or killing them. She lined up her shot.....

BOOM!!

-Busterius-

-Locationirectly underneath-

Redmann and the others were ordered to get inside their mechs as soon as they could. They were ordered that once inside the massive battlecruiser they would wait in cover for the next piece of the mission. The were inside the sand scarab only several meters underneath the ground. Their biggest issue was tracking with sonar the machines movements to ensure they didnt get stepped on. with each step it took they were close enough to the surface to get crushed. The battlefield roared up above. They were right in the heart of it. There was no time to make any mistakes here. The soldiers all prepped their mechs and gear. The wounded or dead was 2 from the last mission they were down to 23 soldiers and mechs. 1 made it but lost her mech. She would return to the fields in another mission for a footsoldier.

"Everyone set? Remember your orders." Redmann chanted to everyone in the comm system.

'Sir yes sir!!!" Said all the soldiers excited to take their next journey.

The soldiers listened for the mark from the captain who would open up the top roof to let them all out. They had the demolitions team with new sets of gear that was loaded inside the mech for the purpose of Busterius. The issue with the machine from their mission briefing wasn't that he was powerful. This machine was the el chapo of defense. It had 10 foot steel plate armor that would take a nuclear bomb to destroy. The machine was so heavy that the enemy deployed it hours before the other battlecruisers and it wasn't getting so much of a dent from the battle. It was going to be one of their toughest battles yet. The mission was simple once again. Destroy the battlecruiser. The way how. Just seemed suicidal once again. The team was informed of their team moves and how this match would be like a massive chess game. Fuck they had no idea what they were in for.

The captain let the skylight open. They were right under the crotch of the machine. The bombs and gunshots dinging off of it like it hadnt even taken damage. Redmann growled. He was a bit nervous. His thrusters activated and he flew up along with the other soldiers. They all flew up into the crotch of the beast with lightning speed. Trying to be as fast as possible. They were not to draw attention. once directly underneath they all latched on holding on. "Damn bad place to be if this thing needs a bathroom break." A soldier joked into the intercomms.

"Fuck of Bert." Redmann said. Bert was one of the snipers he had a tendency to make jokes alot. Along with the grenadiers. But those fuckers had a deathwish. literally.

The grenadiers were the last to lead the back of the pack they were all equipped with what appeared to be a laser ion drill. Ones that they used for mining deep underground. Of course. Cutting steel armor would work too. The gear was heavy and the had to have 3 of the 5 grenadiers just to hold the power source then 2 to do the drilling. It would take time. But the drill bursted to life and begun etching its massive hile into the armor slowly but surely. They were getting it done. Redmann was biting his lip. If anyone saw them or knew they were coming they would be so fucked. This was why they had 20 soldiers just to defend the grenadiers while they did their work. They had no time to play games today.

The drilling continued for what felt like an hour. Reality was it was probably about 10 minutes a few ground soldiers saw the commotion from up above but were accidentally stepped on by their own battle-cruiser. How could they have been so careless?

Others were picked off from a distance by the sniper team. Everything for the most part was going decently smooth. Redmann was timed out on his weapon so he would have to get creative once inside considering that they were all given a strict task once they made it. This beast did seem unstoppable. However according to commander L and a few interrogations of enemy soldiers they were able to reveal a couple issues with the beast. How could one destroy a machine to massive and powerful?

"Everyone we are through get the fuck inside." The grenadiers all scrambled inside and tossed the laser as it fell to the ground followed by the other soldiers making their way behind them. 'By destroying it from the inside of course.' Redmann thought.

Liz had managed to somehow stay on the back of Delucia up untill this point. Conserving her ammo as she did so and using the now ruined forest as cover from the hellfire of battle. As Liz was ready to take aim once more Belial's claws hooked the shell of her ride and she felt the ground under her begin to shake and be lifted. Her aim switched to the toed talons of the Wyvern she unleashed a blast of her Beam Canon from less than a hundred meters away when her Beam was still at its most intense. She concentrated the beam on a singular point near the ankle joint of the great Wyvern for the entire sustained blast. "System Ready the Bastion shielding system I may need it."

------------------------------

Alerius and his family had held on well despite damages to their mechs they were still a force to be reckoned with. They had actually Sunced their playlists so they were all moving in time with eachother, listening to the same songs simultaneously. It helped with cohesion and their over all teamwork and rhythm. Alerius had somehow managed to expend very little in the way of his ammunition so far opting for close range combat as per usual. Even with his boosters gone he was still fast and highly formidable.

Hearing that Artemis was setting out he nodded to his father and sister. " you guys stay here I'm going to go with Artemis." He said as he flew off to the hangar she was to depart from. She'd find him following behind her in what would by now be his usual spot in formation. " I told you I'm assigned to keep you safe." He said in a tone that said that he wasn't going to be leaving her side any time soon.

"Shina if you have a moment can you light up priority targets for me out here? You've been on this front longer." He said as he stuck close to Artims's scarab with his shield up to deflect any incoming fire. He would speed past her without his boosters and he knew it but he wasn't here to cut loose. He was here to protect critical personnel and a friend. Anybody that came close to her without first being intercepted by her Scarabs guns would quickly meet the steel of his singularly massive sword. Alerius made it well known in countless battles he was not to be trifled with.

"Artemis i still have my hyper boost online I'll use it only on your order to help clear the skies." He knew she had a better idea of what she wanted than he did. So he was simply following her lead this time, There wasn't room for his usual reckless tactics. No matter how effective they'd been in the past before now. He couldn't afford the risk wothout permission at any rate.
