(Thomas Scott): Arthur, what the FUCK did you do?!?

(Arthur Roy): I swear, I had no idea those things were in there!!

(Sasha Kalashnikov): Both of you shut up! We have work to do!

(Arthur Roy): Well, I did say we needed underwater practic--

(Sasha Kalashnikov): SHUT UP!!


From the opening of the underwater volcano, five Heat-Blade Eel variants rise out, snapping their mandibles as they eye the three Warmongers before them. The pentad race forwards, and the combat machines prepare to engage. As quick as they show up, the five Eels burrow into the rocky bottom below.


(Arthur Roy): What the bloody hell are they doing?

(Thomas Scott): Keep an eye out, people! They could burst out from anywhere beneath our feet!

(Sasha Kalashnikov): If they do, I'll give them a quick socking!


Cracks emerge on the seafloor around the area; large swathes of thick sulfur gases pour out, coating the area with a cloud of volcanic soot that obscures everyone's vision. Only the movements of the other Warmongers and their hull lights can be seen.


(Thomas Scott): Dammit, those things intentionally covered the area! Signal each other with flashing visors!

(Arthur Roy): Right, why the hell didn't I think of that?

(Thomas Scott): Just do it, prince annoying.


The three flash their visors to each other, signalling their positions. Soon, rows of other lights join in the signalling, circling the trio.


(Thomas Scott): Everyone, we'll have to fight these things using their own bodily luminescence!


Two rows of light approach Tzar Bomba V2 from the front, coming in fast. However, before they can strike, two enormous fists come in from both sides of the two, slamming their faces together in a smothering self-fist bump; the two Eels fall to the ground, dazed from the attack. As Tzar Bomba V2 lifts her foot up to stomp them, a row of plasma spikes rams into the Russian's back, knocking her over and allowing the two downed Eels to quickly swim away.

Before it can get away, though, the third Eel is shot twice by the mortar cannon of Royal Commando, blowing it in half. A short distance away, the Freedom of Justice looks around, trying to spot the Heat-Blade Eels' lights through the gas cloud. He spots one coming in from the left, but before he can react, it slams its plasma spikes into his side, sending him to the ground on his hands and knees.

Away from his area, Royal Commando spots another line of lights circling around him; he takes this opportunity to let loose a barrage of torpedoes that hits the creature, causing it to shake out of control towards him. He catches it with his hands, holding it by the mandibles, and proceeds to stick his mortar cannon down its throat; he fires a blast that completely severs its head from its body.

In another area, two rows of lights charge in quickly whilst Tzar Bomba V2's back is turned with plasma spikes extended. However, before they can strike, she quickly turns around and slams her fists down onto the heads of the two creatures right into the ground; she continues slamming until they're dead.

Whilst that's going on, the Freedom of Justice is being circled by the last of the Eels. After readying his plasma cannon, he takes aim, making sure to closely follow the movements of the creature. It begins to gain speed, but before it completely gets behind him, he fires off three quick blasts, all hitting the creature in different areas and disorienting it as it continues to circle.

Freedom of Justice activates his left arm's extendable blade and turns around, catching the circling Eel; it easily slices through its body as Freedom of Justice circles around at the same time as the creature, ending in it being perfectly cut in half horizontally.

Finally, the cloud clears, and the trio of Warmongers are left, along with several P.E.M.F. corpses.


(Arthur Roy): Well..... I think that's enough underwater training for today.
