With a powerful yank, Super X Robo yanked out its hand from the lizards innards before Koith's bombardment disintegrated its legs. It fell to the floor as its eyes rolled back. The reptilian freak was down, but not out. This quickly became clear when almost all animal life in Tremorton began to pile on the gooey remains, causing it to bubble, boil, and inflate. When the inflated shell of the monster's former shell broke, a hellish creatured emerged that towered even over Super X Robo.
"We can't use the main gun here," Val said, "We need to get this fat bastard out of the city!"
"On it!" Agai confirmed, dropping Jakob and jumping over the monster. Landing on its tail from behind, Super X then grabbed it by the arms.
"Diverting all power to boosters..." Agai informed his co-pilots, as Super X began to lift the monster above the city. "Eraser Cannon!" Agai commanded as the giant robot's chest opened, revealing a laser cannon. After generating enough power, it let loose a burst of power so intense that its own armor began to glow from the heat. The beam of energy widened enough so that it engulfed the Carpenter-eqsue monstrosity, turning all of its body into nothing but ash.
"Freaking finally..." Agai said, panting from exertion.

"Overkill..." Koith smirked "At least they did their best when this freak indefinitely regenerative."
Now with the ashes falling down to the ground, Koith collected some to gather the possible genetic materials if the Reichmacht scientists could extract the DNA of that dead lizard. This regenerative capability could help much in many aspects, especially in medicine. With his small sterilized tube was now filled with ashes, Koith walked into the accidental allies, answering what they asked before.
"Yeah, I'm on the news months ago. Funny and messy stuffs, do you want to have an autograph?"
He then rolled his eyes to Jakob who standing not so far away. "Stylus..." Koith still kept a little grudge to those guys since they were thorns inside Reichmacht boots and now Neo Berlin had to fight a handicapped chess game with the superpowers thanks to them. But since he helped killing that monster, Koith kept the neutral when greeting that guy, since only Kane keeping most of the grudges to Stylus and KM-08 was out of his brother's control.

The second hard light blade dissipated as Jakob watched the creature get obliterated by the rather impressive beam weapon. Technically, the Stylus mech beams would be more fitting for a title like “Eraser cannons”, as they revert the target to nothingness, not ash.
“Could this creature have come from the Multiverse?” Jakob pondered aloud as his suit sensors scanned the ashes. There was no sign of activity, no chance the creature would regenerate further. The physiology and the ability to absorb other creatures reminded him of an old classic movie, but throughout his career, Jakob had not seen anything like it.
Drawl would not have allowed a threat to humanity… But then again, the creature was not that much of a threat.
“Stylus…” Koith greeted in a neutral fashion.
“Koith,” Jakob replied in the same fashion. Reichmacht was no longer monopolizing tech, which was now in the hands of Earth’s leaders. That much, Jakob was satisfied with. No point in bringing it up. He had bigger concerns than to try to stir up bad blood.
His creator was now a… Jakob was not sure who or what his creator was anymore. A being more powerful, more omnipotent, more mysterious than any deity. The only term ever applied was to the creature whom Drawl absorbed: “Colossus.” A fitting term, given the size of the things, but it could never put across the idea of just how powerful they really are. Does that make Stylus God-slayers? An unusual thought, one that made Jakob both nervous and giddy at the same time.
No… focus… This creature, could it have come from the Multiverse? Jakob needed to investigate. After his scanners finished compiling any information from genetic residue, His suit sensors switched to a tracker mode to try to find a path for wherever this creature came from. If it came from someplace, that would be a concern laid to rest.

Just looking at Jakob, he was just doing what Koith did before, gathering some genetic details of that creature. That posed no threats to Koith if he and his Stylus leave Reichmacht alone. Since the unfamiliarity of ideology between two sides led Reichmacht being accused as culprit of sabotaging the peace efforts on Elysia during the Azernian Campaign but in case they shall prove to be a good opportunity to deal with if they don't keep their bad blood with Reichmacht, especially when dealing with such global threats - the only common goal that both Stylus and Reichmacht can achieve together. Back to the topic which led him coming to Tremorton again, Koith asked everyone.
"I'd heard the news of Jenny being damaged by some kind of...stranger, does anyone here know what'd just happened to her?"

“Undetermined,” Jakob replied as he slipped his pistol back into the void. The plating shifted to cover the void once more after he produced the scattergun to continue his typical patrol. “The current plan I’ve heard is to enforce a curfew to any heroes similar to the XJ-9.”
Jakob scanned the skies. It was still pretty weaksauce weather, but certainly better than yesterday. He continued. “I would suggest that those affected heroes stick together until the culprit is caught, except we know nothing about said culprit. Priority: Determine the abilities of the attacker, act accordingly.”

"So that's it?" Koith smirked "The culprit was aiming to the victims who sharing similar technologies to Jenn, eh? I'm not part of her even to the tiniest screw, but since she is my friend and she got in peril, the thing I'll have to is put that culprit down for justice. Or else, I prefer his or her core snapped out of the AI by myself with a pair of rusty pliers."
That's one thing when having spotted the culprit, but how to trace it down was another question. Jakob and his Stylus was still having a question mark to the existence of that stranger so it won't be easy to have him/her some pins on the pinboard. Problem is, if Reichmacht having some troubles and Koith's decisions were vital then he would have no choice but to return to Neo Berlin. Hopefully there shall be no troubles at both fronts.

The sun was already setting when Super X made landfall. The smog from the fires of the battle seemed to engulf Tremorton as the darkness of night embraced the world. Soon, all the present heroes could see was blackness.
"It's the black fog!" Agai said, "Returning to base!" Super X began to fly above the fog, but it was soon plagued by the same problems XJ-9 experienced the night before. Its boosters shoted out, sending it plummeting to the ground, the following crash creating a shockwave that threw up some nearby cars.
"Dammit, separate!" Val ordered, but attempting to divide Super X into its component vehicles only caused sparks to explode from the robot's joints. Super X was completely immobilized now, leaving the three pilots with no choice but to evacuate.
"F*cking hell..." Val swore as he helped his copilots exit the robot, "First real fight since Godzilla trashed it and it turned to sh*t all over again...Hey, you okay, kid?" Val looked over to Agai, who was holding his arm and groaning.
"My arms really hurt..." He croaked. Val offered his own arms to Agai.
"You might want to eject those," Val suggested, "You might be getting affected by whatever downed Super X." Agai nodded and grabbed Val's hands, unlocking his elbow joints. With a quick yank, Agai's robotic forearms were detached and now in Val's posession.
"I guess numbness is better than pain," Agai lamented his malfunctioning prosthetics as he stared at one of his arm stumps. He was left little time to adjust, as they all heard large, thundering footsteps approaching.
Koith was soon not feeling well either. He soon felt like his head would soon explode.
Jakob was affected less adversely. He only felt a tingling sensation, like an electrical current was going through his metal armor.

"So that's it..." Koith groaned with his head aching badly "That's the black fog we are looking to? Nugh..."
This pain is numb, seems like this must be a kind of mechanical infection. "Infection...?" Koith realized something, if this black fog infecting robots and burning their components just like biological organisms such as viruses and bacterias in the form of fog, then there must be a way to cure it...
Koith took out some special bullets and grenades to cure himself against this fog infecting him. "Damn it..." the headache kept going worse, he must be hurry before his AI's resistance in vain. Lunarium grenades? No since its indefinite corrosive/burning effect shall turn Koith into a heap of slag and also there's no use with the bullets filled with Lunarium, too. Flashbangs? No! This wasn't Snowjoke with his kind of maniacal composition which made people into lunatic clowns during Operation Santa. And what's this? A cryogenic grenade - non-lethal stun/immobilize grenade which Reichmacht was testing, only this thing left? "Gah..." not good, Koith decided whether it could be his last stand or not then cooked that grenade into explosion.
In the blink of an eye, Koith's entire body was surrounded with ice made from that cryogenic grenade.

Jakob felt a tingling sensation- an electrical current arcing across the plating of his armour. It did not do anything further, as Jakob was… not an android… not anymore… I think…
“Electromagnetic field,” Jakob announced as he raised the scattergun with his left hand and scanned his surroundings. From the void beneath the plates, he produced the pistol once more with his right. The sensors in his helmet were malfunctioning, so he disabled the Heads-Up Display to rely on the ten-metre field of vision. “Very dangerous to synthetics. If you can hear me, get close!”
The thundering footsteps gave away the approaching character’s position. Jakob spun around to face that direction and pointed both weapons in that direction.

Jakob soon saw a silhouette approach, the figure easily as big as Super X. All he could see of it that wasn't completely obscured by the smoke were its glaring yellow eyes. It walked over to the unmoving Super X and began to hoist the incapacitated machine over its shoulder.
"Oh no, you don't!" Val picked up his maser cannon and attempted to fire it, but it fell apart in his hands. "Shoot, that's right..." He then decided to just chuck the energy weapon at the assailant. While it shattered against the black figure's head as it bent down, it showed no reaction.
"Clearly a robot," Selly observed, pulling out two pistols from his coat and handing one to Val. "I'm unsure if these can harm it, but we might be able to distract it. Aim for the joint areas." The two began firing on the black machine, this time getting its attention. It shrieked angrily at them, but still continued to lift Super X over its shoulder. Once the G-Force robot was in tow, the black behemoth approached Koith and Jakob.

"Gott Verdammt!" Koith grinned his teeth. Just before that black monstrosity could touch into him, he pressed the small button which triggered the mini explosives. The ice blasted into pieces, breaking him free from the bond with the headache no longer being a problem. Quickly, Koith drew his pistol out and gave a couple of shots of EMP rounds.
"Hey there, gimme some hands over here!" he called to his allies for backup since this black thing won't be easy to deal with just like that lizard minutes ago.

The specialized bullets bounced off of the black robot, no more effective than the .44 bullets of Selly's guns. Koith's splitting headache quickly returned, and he felt the motors in his gun-welding hand short circuit and go limp.
"I think you should help yourself, first!" Val yelled, still unloading bullet after ineffective bullet to distract the black robot from Koith. "Get outta the cloud and call for help!"

Jakob holstered both weapons, seeing as small arms fire seemed to have no effect. Instead, he flared up both hard light blades and prepared another booster jump to intercept the behemoth.
“Get back! I’ll cover you!” Jakob called, seeing as he was not being affected by the unusual electromagnetic field beyond the slightly tingling current on the surface of his armour. His current priority was rescuing the captured ally.
The boosters flared, and Jakob leaped at high speed with both blades out, aiming for the shoulder that burdened the weight of the Super X. He swung his blades in a fashion that would slice the shoulder clean out of its socket, if it were to connect and work.

"Danke! I owe you all one!" Koith quickly used his turbocharger legs to shake off that black fog which was the main reason keeping his system fighting underhanded. At the safe distance, he thought.
"It's time to use this though it's just experimental."
"ACHTUNG!" Koith shouted while using his boosters to fly up high. In the blink of an eye, he got an entire transformation with armor plates covering his body, a pair of triple-barreled 4.7cm cannons from his arms, rocket launchers on his shoulders, one Incendiary/Lunarium bomb on his torso and a Black Wings special booster consisted of eight-pieces metallic wings. Climbing above the battle, Koith started diving down at the horrific speed which got the sirens inside his new look sounding just like Jericho's Trumpet but with higher volume.
"Incoming!" he shouted to the allies that they can shake off that black behemoth before his weaponry got an impact. At the final distance, Koith dropped his bomb, fired the rockets and rained the cannons down to the head of that behemoth and climbing up before he could touch that damn fog again. Having performed a loop, Koith saw his efforts got the results and he kept attacking with his cannons, trying to pin that monstrosity down for his allies to take the advantage.

Jakob managed to get a few slashes in before his hard light blades malfunctioned to the point of overload. While the armor was scorched and melted, it wasn't penetrated. However, the deformed geometry of the shoulder heavily restricted its movement, and Super X slipped from its grasp. When Koith activated his weapons, the black robot dodged the 4.7cm rounds with deceptive speed, Koith's rockets and bombs seeming to explode prematurely once inside the fog. The explosions dissipated some of the smoke, the enemy machine responding by spewing more smog from its fingertips. It then closed its fingertips together, firing a concentrated jet of the mysterious smog. One hand aimed at Koith, the other attached to its bad arm aimed at Jakob.
"Dammit, anything that can even dent that thing will immediately break down!" Val swore as he reloaded the borrowed sidearm.
