On the surface, the upper building of the G.U.D. headquarters is being bombarded by scores of missiles and artillery fire from the small fleet of aerial vessels stationed just above the landscape; the formerly decommissioned Atragon leads the assault.

The main surface building is slowly but surely being cut down, despite being rebuilt in the wake of Second Wave to withstand P.E.M.F. attacks. However, when the fleet sees that its efforts are at best providing scratch damage to the overall structure, it clears out of the line of fire of the floating Atragon.

The battleship's nose-mounted drill begins to spin at high velocity, producing a bluish-white energy at the tip. All of a sudden, a bluish-white blast of absolute zero energy shoots out from the drill tip, instantly flash-freezing the building; it shatters into particles within a split second.

All that remains now is the main bunker, but the Atragon's absolute zero cannon appears to be recharging too slowly for another shot.


(Atragon Speakers): [COMMS] Children, it's time to storm into the base and eliminate the world's leaders in one fell swoop.


At this command, large vessels resembling cargo containers land onto the Antarctica ground and open up. Hundreds of soldiers file out of the troop carriers whilst brandishing military-grade handheld weaponry; they're garbed in strange armor resembling a cross between an exoskeleton and standard ballistic armor with scuba-like full facial helmets and a menacing cloth hood.

They move in tight squad formations as they slowly advance on the hangar doors. Just as one squad leader is motioning to his squad to move forward, his head suddenly reels backwards.

From the thin trail left behind, the sniper is traced back to a position in the mountains behind where the base once stood. Soon after, several more snipers start emerging from the rubble and taking up positions, as do other groups of G.U.D. soldiers. However, the squad leader who took the first shot quickly recovers, as the sniper round merely knocked his head back.


(Squad Leader): All squads, open fire!


All of the soldiers begin to fire upon the G.U.D. security forces, forcing them to take cover. Their only advantage is the high ground, as every time they pop up to return fire, their gunfire only slows down the advancing army due to their armor making them extremely strong. Only high-powered railguns and explosives manage to down them, and even then only a few of them at a time.

The army advances, slowly but surely taking over the landscape as they approach the ruined base. Among the resisting forces is Chancellor Dmitri Kalashnikov who, despite his advanced age, is fighting harder than anyone else. Behind him are the other world leaders, as well as Dr. Jiro Ifukube, Dr. Wei Ho, and Dr. Anna Maximoff.


(Chancellor Kalashnikov): What are they made of?! My plasma bolts barely scratch their armor!!

(Dr. Ho): It probably has to do with their NSDEE-inducing nanomachines! Every single soldier must be equipped with them! That's why they're so bulletproof!

(Chancellor Kalashnikov): Then let me bring out bigger gun!


Chancellor Kalashnikov drops his plasma repeater and picks up a missile launcher; he fires several salvos into a group of soldiers, decimating them. Unfortunately, they're quickly replaced by more; their numbers seem endless.


(Dr. Ifukube): Chancellor, I think there's only one option left!!

(Chancellor Kalashnikov): GO AHEAD!!

(Dr. Anna Maximoff): Sir, are you sure? They're only in prototype stages!

(Dr. Ifukube): No other choice!!


Dr. Ifukube activates his portable wrist datapad and begins inputting an unknown code sequence. Immediately afterwards, loud sounds are heard in the sky above that catch the attention of everyone; there's a brief lull in the fighting. Bright lights begin to grow brighter and shine through the thick Antarctic storm.

Out of the blue, fiery masses rain down from the heavens and land among the formations of the invading army, forcing them to scatter. After they've cooled down, large cargo containers are revealed at the center of the impacts.

The walls of the containers are busted open. From the containers emerge dozens of large mechanical humanoids that are heavily built, sport supersized versions of contemporary Human firearms, and possess sets of RE-pulsar jet wings similar to Serizawa's Light.


(Dr. Ifukube): [COMMS] Mobile Titan Force 1, this is Director Jiro Ifukube. Protect this installation at all costs!
