  1. [October 23, 2145]
  2. [Calcutta, former Indian country]
  3.  
  4. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  5.  
  6. The Alpha slowly walks up towards the two Warmongers, Blade of the People and the Union's Warrior, and takes no notice of the hovering vehicles around him that are peppering him with their weapons to try and distract him.
  7.  
  8.  
  9. (Karen Marais): Feng, our ranged weaponry has had no effect! What now?
  10.  
  11. (Feng Lee): Now? Now we take this up a notch! Karen, Shield Wall!
  12.  
  13. (Karen Marais): On it!
  14.  
  15.  
  16. The Union's Warrior charges forward with her spinning shield raised up. The Alpha, with his dorsal plates still glowing, lets loose a stream of fiery blue plasma that impacts the fan-shield. As she guards against the intense heat energy, the Blade of the People rushes around to the creature's back, jumping up and performing a cross-slashing motion with her blade-arms on the back of the beast's head.
  17.  
  18. This briefly pushes its head downwards, cutting off the plasma stream and leaving the shield of the Warrior red-hot but still intact. Taking advantage of this lapse in the Alpha's onslaught, Union's Warrior sends her still-hot spinning shield up into the lower jaw of the Alpha and knocks its head back upwards.
  19.  
  20. However, the creature returns its head to its normal position, unfazed by the strikes, and proceeds to reach out to the Warmonger before it. Union's Warrior puts up her shield once more to block his advance, but upon contact with his clawed hand, the shield begins to falter and slow up, eventually coming clean off her arm.
  21.  
  22. She is left in shock at the ease at which the Alpha breaks off her shield, but before she can fully process the counter, the beast reaches out with its other hand and grabs Union's Warrior by her head, lifting her up. He begins to squeeze his fingers, slowly crushing the machine's head.
  23.  
  24. Before he can complete his action, Blade of the People jumps onto the back of the Alpha and rocks him backwards slightly, causing him to release his grip. Union's Warrior falls to the ground; her hull lights slowly shut off, and her systems deactivate due to the sheer trauma of the death-grip, leaving her motionless on the ground.
  25.  
  26. The Alpha shakes and bucks, trying to shake off the Warmonger on his back. After anchoring herself with tightened grappling cables from her chest, Blade of the People fires her blade-arm mortars point black into the beast's hide. He continues shaking and bucking, loosening the anchors keeping the machine on its back from falling off.
  27.  
  28. Eventually, he lurches his upper body forward, then quickly backwards, sending Blade of the People flying onto the ground behind him. She slowly gets back to her feet, but before she can straighten herself completely, the tail of the mighty Alpha comes rushing in from the left, impacting her abdominal region and causing her to be sent flying to the right.
  29.  
  30. A large hull rupture shows itself where the tail impacted; the Blade of the People staggers onto her knees. The Alpha, having bent his upper body down to position his tail for the slam, rights himself up again and turns to see the machine off to his right, on its knees and slumping forwards. It slowly walks towards her.
  31.  
  32.  
  33. (Feng Lee): No.... not again..... No NO NO!!
  34.  
  35.  
  36. She looks up, noticing the enormous leviathan looking down at her; he gives her a short kick that sends her on her back. The Alpha places his foot on the chest region of the Blade of the People. As she struggles to get back up, managing to slightly lift his foot, the Alpha quickly stomps her into the ground, splitting her chest region and causing her system's to deactivate.
  37.  
  38.  
  39. "SKREEEEOOOONNK!!!!"
  40.  
  41.  
  42. Lightning strikes fill the area, and thunder booms as the Alpha roar. He takes his foot off of the fallen Warmonger and turns around to head back towards the sea.
  43.  
  44.  
  45. (G.U.D. Command): Hover patrol A-1, what is going on out there?!?
  46.  
  47. (Hover Patrol): Command, target Alpha is retreating into the ocean. Both P.E.M.F.s eliminated. Both Blade of the People and Union's Warrior are down. I repeat, BOTH Warmonger units are down.
  48.
