-Well, boy!-Koith answers to the unknown robot who looks like a mime with colors as he'd seen long time ago-Even though she killed me, I'm still leaving some good hey-ho with Mr. Prezzy! Anyways, even US suffer a defeat, the government won't live long except they make a reform with an early election and change in the cabinet. Even we triumph,-The soldier smirks-...still the same!
At the time, sirens sounded all over the junk fort. On the radar, from the big red blobs, meaning Cluster flagships, a lot smaller red blobs appeared, swarms of them. At the time, Koith received some distressing calls:
"The Clusters commenced the attack! I repeat, the Clusters commenced the attack!"
-Did we fire at them first?
"Negative," The soldier on the another line replied "They attacked after receiving an order! Must be other states fired first!"
-The time is come, kameraden! We must fight to the last efforts. For Tremorton! For US!
-Em, sir!-Grinder said-I got intels that our men are deploying nukes to repel the hostiles!
-This is madness,-Koith shocked-They will also kill our meta citizens with those EMPs!
-I think we must stop them, Koith!-Marie gave an idea.
-That's the way I wanna do!-The soldier nodded, then he send some message to Jakob's comm:
"I HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT YOU AND YOUR MEN CAPTURED THE PRESIDENT. BUT WE'RE NOW FACING EVEN MORE WORSE SITUATION. THE CLUSTERS ARE NOW LAUNCHING AN ASSAULT AND THE DEFENSE ARE TRYING TO NUKE THEM ALL, BUT IT WILL ALSO INCLUDING THE META POPULATION. YOU MUST CRIPPLE THEM ALL BEFORE THEY LAUNCHED. WEAPONS FREE!"
Then, he sending some included locations of the silos.
-Grinder, you take defend the city!-Koith orders-Marie, go with me. We'll kill those bastards before they kill us!
-Aren't they at the same line with us?-The girl questioned.
-We gone rogue now! That's mean they will also take us down when they have chances.
-Now, let's go!
The strike team prepares for Operation Aurora, which called by Koith. Ah, the boy who're stayed with Bullet and Viktor through time, Blue Metal also leaves some words with him:
-It'll be an honor if you assist our men in this battle! Please, help us triumph, Mr. Not-yet-named!

Crystal end her call. "ha..." she sighed
"Sister, are you ok?" Rosie asked, worried of her
"No. I'm sorry, Rosie. Well it's just..."
"No need to say that, sister. You must be feels annoyed because we both just finished being maintainance when this is happen, " Rosie smiled,"Plus, it's my first time I see you mad. I dunno why but I think I starting to like you more as a sister"
Crystal blinked then chuckled a bit, "Oh Rosie"
The sister arrive at the scene. Since Crystal had done call Koith, Rosie decided to call Koith instead, "Koith, we both arrived. What should we do?"

Before going on the chopper, Koith received a call from Rosie. He answers:
-Well, you and Crystal should check out for the citizens who not yet to be evacuated and help them out of this hell-hole! Because you both can fly, so don't be a hero since the Clusters will overwhelm you in the air-superiority! Anyways, I'm on the busy job, just head into Junkerton and contact with Grinder, he will appoint you in the defenses!
Then, his comm sounded Kane's voice:
-I'd heard that you're now gone rogue, right bruder?
-Yup,-Koith nodded-Being rogue or not, I'll protect US with everything I got!
-I got the location of the silos and will update it to your GPS! Recommend you should get more supports at this time.
-Thanks, bruder! I think it's better you should do a little bit inside.
-I'll never let you disappointed, bruder!-Kane smirked, then ending the transmission.

"It'll be an honor if you assist our men in this battle! Please, help us triumph, Mr. Not-yet-named!" Koith said.
"Name's John...you can call me Plink if you so desire. And yes. I'll help as best as possible." Plink said. Plink immediately started to download the weapons activation key. "I hope that this'll work. Should've done this a year ago!" He said to himself.

//CAUGHT AN INTERESTING FEED I PRESUME WAS DIRECTED TO US- ODD HOW THE SENDER TRIED ON A RANDOM CHANNEL WHEN HE REALISTICALLY WOULD BE TRYING TO FIND OURS.
"Perhaps he assumed we'd be checking all channels," Jakob muttered as he played the message the AI had recorded. Lucky that the AI was scanning all channels, else the message would never have made it to the intended recipient.
Jakob played it aloud for Gene to hear on their private channel.
"I HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT YOU AND YOUR MEN CAPTURED THE PRESIDENT. BUT WE'RE NOW FACING EVEN MORE WORSE SITUATION. THE CLUSTERS ARE NOW LAUNCHING AN ASSAULT AND THE DEFENSE ARE TRYING TO NUKE THEM ALL, BUT IT WILL ALSO INCLUDING THE META POPULATION. YOU MUST CRIPPLE THEM ALL BEFORE THEY LAUNCHED. WEAPONS FREE!"
"Well that's fantastic. EMP's gonna fry us, and the hellfire and radiation is going to kill everything else." He turned to the looming Cluster Fleet, "Got a safe planet out of the way we could evacuate to? I'm beginning to care less and less about Earth."
Jakob then switched to the same channel the sender was broadcasting from, and he said the following.
"Go ahead and destroy your own goddamn planet!" he uncharacteristically shouted, "While I'm working to fixing the damned relationships, the rest of you are still lobbing grenades into the bloody pond!"
Jakob then killed the feed, and muttered something along the lines of "Yeah, they could've traced that..."

[Hey, sorry I'm late. Didn't see Jakob's edit. Got some ground to make up so it's not like my guy was just standing there. Carrying on from "When you find her, we'll blink":]
"Got it," Gene said before shooting up into the sky. Wait a minute, how is he supposed to keep radio contact? I don't have a -- A ringing in his pocket answered his question. Gene picked up the phone, set it to speaker, and clipped it to his belt. "Okay, can you hear me? I'm approaching the mothership now." He noticed that the smaller ships and drones around it were starting to move excitedly. "This is bad. I'm seeing a lot of activity up here. I'm not sure what caused them to -- WHOA!" A bolt of plasma cut off his train of thought. Looking behind him, he saw a Cluster drone homing in for the kill. "Hey, I'm on your side, you ass!" Not wanting to engage, Gene took evasive maneuvers around the drone, carefully weaving his way toward the flagship. When he arrived, he scanned the surface of the ship, looking for a weak point where he could break in, and soon found one in a conveniently open docking bay. Oh. Well, duh.
Gene landed in the bay and hovered through the corridors of the ship, looking for anything that would show him the way to the bridge. As he flew up a set of stairs, a number of drones confronted him. "Stop right there, human!"
Gene sighed and held up his hands in surrender. "Yeah, yeah, I know the drill. Look, I'm gonna need one of you to come over here, reach into my pocket, open up my wallet, and realize how stupid you are."
Not sure what Gene meant by those words, the lead drone walked over to him while the others kept their weapons trained on him. The drone reached a hand into Gene's pants [snicker], pulled out his wallet, and found the ID card within. "Wait, you mean you --"
"Yeah."
"What is it, sir?" one of the other drones asked.
"This... human" -- the drone nearly spat the word out -- "is a personal employee of Queen Vexus!" He signaled for the others to lower their weapons.
"Yeah, and I really need to talk to her, so if you could take me to her..."
"Can't," the lead drone said. "Her Majesty has strict orders not to allow anyone on the bridge. Anyone."
"Seriously? Can you at least call her up on the intercom? Like I said, I really need to talk to her."
The drone looked back at the others. "Negative. You're a civilian. You shouldn't even be on this ship, Cluster employee or not!"
"Come on, man, don't be like -"
Gene was interrupted by a message from an unknown soldier playing on his phone.
[And the most recent post goes here. Sorry if it needs to be updated any.]
"Did he say we've captured their President?" one drone asked.
"Did he say they're using their nuclears?" another chimed in.
"Yeah, so... I'm starting to regret not using the wireless earpiece," Gene said. "Pretty sure you guys weren't supposed to hear that. But it sounds like there's a slightly higher priority problem to deal with down on the ground. If you'll excuse me for one moment..." He stepped away from the drones and brought the phone up to his face, switching it off the speaker. "Hey, if you're still on the line, you think you can use that little teleportation trick I saw to get to the missiles before they, y'know, kill us all? 'Cause I don't think I'll be able to get down there in time to help you."

"I HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT YOU AND YOUR MEN CAPTURED THE PRESIDENT. BUT WE'RE NOW FACING EVEN MORE WORSE SITUATION. THE CLUSTERS ARE NOW LAUNCHING AN ASSAULT AND THE DEFENSE ARE TRYING TO NUKE THEM ALL, BUT IT WILL ALSO INCLUDING THE META POPULATION. YOU MUST CRIPPLE THEM ALL BEFORE THEY LAUNCHED. WEAPONS FREE!" Koith said.
"Oh my word!!" Plink said. Immediately, Plink searched for the signal for the Defense Department and put that online. "So!" Plink said angrily. "I hear you're going to be shooting nukes at the cluster to stop them! May I ask the cockamamy, sewage stenched, thimbleheaded dumb butt to please step forward and explain to me how pulling a suicidal move like that is going so solve anything? And explain to me why eliminating the Meta population is included into this!?" Of all the days I got to leave the house, WHY did it have to be this one?! Plink thought.

Jakob was staring at the still unconscious President, laying on the front porch of the Wakeman abode. At a distance, it didn't seem apparent, but the android was running more thought processes than he'd ever ran before.
After a few seconds, Jakob pulled his helmet off and slapped the President's face with it. As the helmet rolled a few metres away, Jakob pulled the sack off of the President's head. The man's hands rose to the side of the head where Jakob's helmet struck, and his eyes squinted to adjust to the outdoor light.
"Welcome back to reality, Mr. President," Jakob said with a scowl as he indicated the Cluster Fleet over Tremorton with a hand, "You done goofed, and I'm very... disappointed in you."
//JAKOB?
"Your moronic blindness, and disregard of human relations with the Cluster have jeopardized humanity's opportunity to advance."
From under the plating in his armour, Jakob produced his sidearm- semiautomatic pistol of entirely custom design. He pulled the hammer back and levelled the firearm at the President's head.
//RECOMMEND WE KEEP THE PRESIDENT ALIVE... THAT WAS YOUR RECOMMENDATION!
"Why the hell did you greenlight Operation Hornet?" Jakob shouted, "You stupid, stupid, incompetent man!"
The pistol touched on the President's forehead. One squeeze of the trigger would render the man's head non-existent, with plasma-burned residue across the Wakeman mansion door. He was running the simulations of such an event in his head, and something was telling him that this was a viable option.
//THE BARGAINING CHIP, JAKOB!!
Just then, his comm pinged. "Hey, if you're still on the line, you think you can use that little teleportation trick I saw to get to the missiles before they, y'know, kill us all?" It was Gene. 'Cause I don't think I'll be able to get down there in time to help you."
Jakob stood for a sec as he absorbed the meaning of Gene's call. His pistol then lowered, and was slipped back under his plating.
"... not what XJ-0 would've done..."
//... ARE YOU OKAY, JAKOB?
Jakob didn't answer. The scowl turned into a simple frown. Instead, he told the mech, "Take out the silos. If any missiles launch, destroy them."
//...
Jakob's head turned to stare at the mech... which hadn't yet complied.
//... UNDERSTOOD...
The mech blinked away- already knowledgable of the location of every American silo due to their years of scanning American infrastructure. For every silo the mech arrived at, it would fire plasma lasers to render every missile or launching station present inoperable. Be it using the plasma lasers to melt the silo doors shut, or to destroy launch towers- that was what the mech would do- while avoiding human casualties at all costs.
Jakob, meanwhile, turned back to the President- whose fear-stricken expression only just registered in the android's brain.

For the past several moments, perhaps even minutes, Bullet had just been standing completely silently and still. In the chaos of the nascent conflict no one had noticed Bullet's sudden inexplicable state. He was thinking, yes, truly thinking rather than calculating. Listening to all these tragic conversations and the drone of cluster drones and warships and simply taking in everything has raised a strange "emotion" that Bullet never realized he had.
Okay, I'm standing in the presence of an ex-nazi android whose actions have contributed to a war of galactic proportions that seems to have been concocted completely by the US Government itself. I don't think I'll ever be able to be surprised again.
Bullet finally snapped out of his kef and noticed an absence of Plink. He figured that Plink must have gone out to fight the Cluster. Bullet looked over to Koith. He's part of the reason this whole thing's started, he's on his own. I'm gonna go help Plink defend, but first I need to get Viktor to safety. Bullet approached his friend sulking in the corner. "Hey, I'm going to help Plink defend the Earth for an obviously-innevitable defeat by the Cluster. You need to get to somewhere safe."
"That's not going to happen, Bullet." Viktor replied fiercely, and for the first time since that fateful day so long ago Bullet saw that fire in Viktor's eyes. "I'm not gonna die cowering in some dank bunker. If I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die with my boots on." He pulled out the small bag and searched around for the supplies he had gotten earlier. First he pulled out a large blaster rifle, then with some difficulty he pulled out a suit of advanced armor. The armor was made of a strong, flexable hybrid of metals that could ((blanking on the specific word I want to use here...)) to any body. There was a sturdy helmet with a blue tinted visor, and the suit also sported a jet-powered flight system.
"Where did you get those?" Bullet demanded, surprised to see his normally docile friend wielding weapons.
"Just borrowed them from a good friend, he'll never notice they're missing." Viktor replied, now wearing the armor and charging up the rifle. "It's time to send these invaders running to the hills."
"No Viktor." Bullet chastised, tacitly conceeding to Viktor's attempts to join the fight. "We don't know if we'll have to resort to fighting yet. Even still, we need to be ready."
The duo flew off from Junkerton above Tremorton. Their eyes were met with a sight of terrifying awe. The sky was filled with clouds of Cluster drones and starships. The drones swarmed like hordes of locusts as far as the eye could see, which, in Bullet's case, is pretty far.
"It's like that story from that really old book." Bullet commented, not understanding the ironic nature of that statement.
He located Plink on his array and the two flew to accompany their newest, and possibly last of aqauaintances.
"Hey, Plink." Bulllet greeted as he arrived. "The bugs sure are swarming today, huh?"

Bullet and viktor flew up behind Plink quite suddenly.
"Hey, Plink." Bulllet greeted as he arrived. "The bugs sure are swarming today, huh?"
Plink chuckled.
"Where's the RAID when you need it?" Plink said.

Inside the silo not far away from Tremorton...
At the wall of the crossroad inside the base, some guards are firing fiercely toward Koith and his men who across him. With few hand-signs, the human Delta nodded, pulling the choke of a flashbang and rolled under the feet of the hostiles. POOF! They're gone blinded after the flash. Taking every chance, Koith advances forward with his AK-275, killing the guards with some accurate sprays of bullets. There're more coming, the teammate helped covering his commander by shooting them down. In the same time, Koith received a call from Marie:
-Koith, control room entrance secured, the Commander is hiding himself inside!
-Gut, just commence the breach and disable the missiles!-Koith replied, at the time he shot to death one hostile-I'll carve a safe path to the extraction point.
After Marie, Kane's message sounded:
-Bruder, I'm now leading some strike teams to disable the nukes! How's your progress recently?
-We're now breaching one of the silos! Since we're lack of manpower and can't commence much operations at the same time.
-Ja!-Kane replied-I'll do the rest of this Op! You must return to Tremorton and helping in the defenses. You can't leave them to the Clusters like this!
-Danke, Kane!
Ending the call, Koith and the team head into the control room. Of course, heavy resistance and they had to take cover. But, from the rear of the hostiles, Marie and her boys stormed in with bullets, and the targets neutralized. In front of the iron door, the team planting the charges on it, also heard some noises inside. When everything set, Koith ordered:
-Do it,
Marie pressed the charges. KABOOM!!! The door blasted into the air, while Blue Metal and Yellow Lily taken down every hostiles inside, even the commander of the silo. Searching through the bodies, Koith found the key, then throwing it to Marie:
-There, disable the nukes now!
-On it,-The girl nodded, then began hacking the system. After a minute, she reports:
-The nukes in this silo gone lockdown, Koith! They'll be a threat no more.
-Good, it'll save the skin of our people away from them!

After receiving it, Rosie explained to Crystal. "Hmm alright then. I'll evaculate those who still trapped. You go to Junkerton with these pixies, ok?" Crystal said
"Alright sister. Be careful" they both nodded. Then they fly seperately. Rosie flew along with three small pixie metas; Vanilla, Flaze and Tear to Junkerton and then she arrived there and landed, "U-umm..is Grinder around? Koith tell me to go here for defense"
Meanwhile, Dr Falcon checked Dr Wakeman. "Hmm...she still busy" He then looked at window and saw Jakob with the President. He opened the window and yelled, "You there! Why are you waiting in front of this house? Are you in need with Dr Wakeman?"
What Jakob see at the window is a young-looking short human teenager with blonde hair and blue eyes who wearing white long coat and green gloves.

Then someone's voice reached Jakob's audio sensors. Still frowning, he turned to the source- a teenage human in a labcoat. The android wasn't sure how the young person would react to the rather horrifying stitches around the mechanisms that functioned as his eyes.
"No, I'm not," Jakob replied. After a pause, he corrected himself. "Correction: Would she have a jetpack with the thrust to carry at least five hundred pounds?"

The soldier who Rosie asked scratched his helmet, then replied:
-Captain is now leading the defense team inside the city! Heavy resistance, I expected.
Then, he received a distressing call from Grinder, the other line shrieked:
-This is Grinder! Heavy resistance and casualties. We're requiring immediate support, over!
From the sky, Cluster flying troopers coming, the base defenders started firing before they overwhelm the fort. The fierce gunfight started, with the defenses, the Clusters recently can't breach into the place, but soon or not, they will.
While shooting down some bugs, that guy asked:
-Well, I saw you a got a job here! Let's see how could you use your guns!
...
At the meantime, in Tremorton downtown...
The defenders established a barricade to prevent the Clusters advance, and yet they're now facing the droids. At the rampart, one Delta soldier fired his M90 machine gun like his finger sticked inside the trigger, bullets all over his feet, that no one could see his ankles anymore. But then, in the moment of carelessness, a green plasma bolt blasted into his helmet, then many others pierced through the body. Seeing the teammate fallen, Grinder stepped forward to fill the hole in the defenses. But, the Clusters are too many, and their fire still too hot. The captain called:
-Commander, heavy resistance and casualties at the downtown. We need your support right now!
While on the chopper back to Tremorton, Koith got the call. He answers:
-Roger that, Grinder! I'm on my way, ETA 3 minutes. Keep your eyes on the line!
At the same time, a new face in US Army appeared:
-Commander Blue Metal, this is Major General Baker of the 75th Ranger Regiment! We'd heard your speech toward Vexus and was impressed by your valor and loyalty. Even you're now gone rogue, we're still sending supports to you in no time. For Liberty! For US!
Also, another new face:
-Blue Metal, this is Commander Armstrong of USMC! We're now on your side after hearing your words. By the name of Peace and Liberty, I and my men shall stand with you! Semper Fi!
And then, from Commander Takagi, General Reznikov, Lieutenant General Mountbatten, Colonel Mannerheim...not only US, its allies also stepped into this war. At least we're not alone ...
About Grinder, the ETA gone near, but his men can't make a stand anymore.

Cluster started to shoot towards Bullet, Viktor, And Plink in a matter of seconds after they started shooting at Koith. "Well guys...I'm falling back." Plink said as he seemed to fly backwards avoiding the green blasts from the Cluster.
oh...but they only think I'm surrendering!! Plink thought as he ran at two of them at high speed, grabbed them, and took off near Mach 1. "Shall we go for a ride?!" Plink said to the two of them as they gradually fell apart. Then, Plink imeadiately unsheathed a gun and started shooting at the other ones.
