Chapter 11: Energy Conversion

"They were really bold," Shane thought to herself. Attacking at noon right at lunch time. All they truly wanted to do is to gain control of the entire building.

She knew this place was a literal downsized Willie Wonka Factory owned by a conglomerate, 'Dynamics Inc.', founded before the start of the war where instead of producing chocolate, they produce all sorts of parts for machinery including robot and spaceships from a totally cool machine called, Energy Converter Device. A large box that scans the item of choice from web sources and recreates them to the exact specs. Unfortunately the people commissioning the weapons are lacking creativity, so they scan weapons from anything such as ancient anime before the Great War. She wondered why these people have their jobs, but then again, it is also the reason why it is scary in the hands of others. If they have control here however, they would now have the ability to mass produce machines for their own gain. That prospect startled her and the others in her group as they head down the highway. The van's engine pressuring itself to go even faster and stop them. Overhead they spot Victor closing in, scanning it from afar.

"Man it feels good to have good equipment." Victor said to himself. Good equipment can get the job done faster and allows them to take on scarier jobs. They really pay well. He thinks of the pay he would receive for his medication. Almost always, he feels nauseous and weird whenever he is outside without his medication. Everyday, the memories of his parents falling under his knife feels great, the weak pulling him down finally gone in his life. Fun. With this Attec Speeder, a far cry from his old Port W Extensive. He do things, even better than before. He whistled blissfully as the robot finish scanning the area outside of the facility. He quickly reports his findings to the rest in the van, whom they had just arrived on the site.

Other individuals were already there, fighting alongside guards from a company with a diamond shaped badge who they know run the facility and many others in all of the sectors.

They watched as torrent of men and women with green glowing eyes continue to close down them along with robots with creepy humanoid heads. Others meanwhile were assisting the injured as they got away to safety. The rifles and AI Ambar had made were truly no joke as the group was suddenly pinned. Nearby, Victor spots another large Revel Type, a rather fat looking robot based of the Gundam Virtue from Gundam 00 except it lacked it's bazookas, GN drive and other robot paired up but rather from a pair of twin-barreled large cannons on each shoulder, trying to shoot through the mess with it's arms crossed.

"The Haibu..."

The machine floated up in the air with intimidation as it fires simultaneously and rapidly. Blasting the ground with heated lead and debris. Aiming at the surrounding group. But there seemed to be too much. The rather possessed men and women continued on their advance at the stranded group despite their injuries. For a robot made for firepower, it seemed to be struggling. Perhaps it could use some help.

He shook his head as he yelled in the mike at the group. His voice booming into the surroundings with the ground rumbling under their feet.

"Rockets inbound!"

Six rockets launched, tearing through the men, women and robots crowding around them, burning them in a bright inferno. The blast was successful, neutralizing all outside, rattling the ground with ear-bursting strength.

However just as he done so, a winged woman flew out. The 'wings of hell' was here. Victor quickly charged at her with her katana. Just then, with the sun right behind her, she launched out all of her knifes at once, all flying in a uniform manner. It truly felt like hell as the knifes cut and slice other fighters with their large numbers as they headed straight him.

"Nice I have those too! Funnels!" He slowed down as he bragged on the mike. Activating a system as the lid quickly open to nine sword like funnels flying out from the strange compartment in all directions, firing at the knifes, which was mildly effective as Atsuki, using the knifes, transformed into a 'tornado', blocking out his shots.

"Quickly! This is your only chance!" Leroy shouted in everyones mike. The group quickly scrambled into the facility, struggling to avoid the mess of debris and lead. Sylvie made one last look at Victor taunting Atsuki before they slid into the large facility. Worried for his safety.

"Crap there are three ways there! Which one?" Maximilian whispered into the mike as Leroy quickly typed on the PC. Looking through the cameras spanning the facility. Despite the disturbances, the cameras amazingly still functioned properly.

Derek peered into his screen in curiosity, amazed at the large setup he has as Leroy spoke into the mike, making up his mind, "They all seem to have crowded around on all the ways. Fortunately, you only have one type of poison to taste," He types in more commands as the heavy doors and ventilation in two corridors boxed their now shocked rivals waiting for their arrival.

"Ok head down the middle!" He called out as the group heads down to the dark middle corridor where they felt a sensation of being pinned. Shane has seen everything that it has done to others. They are not gonna be mailed now of all places. She broke out of his pressure and creates a huge shockwave. Sending men, women and robots flying into the main chamber. A dark place illuminated by nothing but a blue hue from light fizzing about above. The machine still active with green and red flashes blinding her.

The being she recognized from before looked shocked as Shane dashed into the room. It quickly threw chairs at her as it looked at the group with glee, vanishing with Sergio and her team staring at her. Grinning. She makes a dash for it for their vanishing act was rather slow. With one leg remaining, she manages to pull it, causing Hanson to be forcefully pulled down.

"You know time is always of the essence, especially when it comes to your life?" Hanson said, laughing, striking a cool pose with his stick, he swayed Shane back just as the rest of the men, women and robots whom were just knocked down rise up. They were filled of rage. And now this rage is directed at her. She gulped as they charged aimlessly, their eyes droopy and their mouth gasping with dirty teeth from their possession.

"But when it comes to burning time, there are friends always here to help assist me in my usage of time," Shane smiles as the group barged into the room. Baku immediately incinerated anyone in front of him as Sylvia 'calls' in roots, piercing the 50 meter concrete floor and carving huge holes amongst the 'possessed' men and women. Max then punch out several of the stragglers with the rest being drowned by Shao Lin with a pool of water from the water tank upstairs.

The now soaked Hanson was furious, he quickly tries his luck to escape once again. This time however, Shane does a simple karate chop to his back, causing a black blob that looked similar to her evidence to fly out from his neck. Knocking Hanson out. Baku spotting the potential danger, transforming her arm with a mechanical whirl into large fiery cannons. Her hand parts moving aside to form a large heat shield.

"Shane step aside! For my Fiery cannon will finish this off!"

Her cannons ignited, lighting the place up as Shane pulls Hanson to safety. However it managed to leap out into the group's vanishing act as it disappeared.

"Yay we won!" Maximilian rejoiced as Shane shakes her head in disbelief.

"No. They had won..." She looks on to see several sensors and chips missing in the machine. They had already gotten what they had wanted. They just want to taunt them.

Meanwhile Outside

He truly loved hard battles. Especially if it had to do with another Super. He always felt nauseous without the machine. Maybe its the poor air quality. But he was always comfortable and well in his suit. For the first time, he had truly found a worthy contender in a form of that girl with 'steel wings' and truly a bitter meaning to the word hell. Just as she deflected his beam shots, she launch out her Laser Bazookas earlier placed in a V formation diagonally, dishing out green hell as Victor swerves to avoid her. He knows how Leroy had modified his Revel Type super fast at five times the speed of sound, but today of all days had he felt his robot being ridiculously slow. He manages to avoid near-misses with only paint chips and scruffs from her knifes. He looks down below at the others looking at him. Hoping to see him trump her, but all they got to see was him being humiliated. He could not continue running away for any longer. His fuel gauge stating how he may not have enough fuel to return. He accept his fate and closed his eyes when it stopped. He was supposed to be dead. Why is he not dead?

Victor open his eyes to see her knifes reassembling back to form her wings, looking back in disgust at his robot as she flew away, disappearing into the clouds. He frowned looking at the site as his robot made a sad whirl.

"Mission failed. Head back to base," Leroy clutched his hand to his head. So many negative reports are going to make Saxon mad. Leroy moves to work on the chip she gave him to clear his mind. As he place a chip on a white activation chamber, a device similar in size to an actual printer connected to his computer, he spots Derek seemingly activating the machine out of curiosity.

"Noooo!!!!" Leroy screamed as a huge whirl rattled the floor, it showed off some blue light but then, a huge circular anomaly emerged on the large table. Startling the both of them.

"It can't be... did we just... discovered... a portal?"
