The constant attacks on the XJ-9 look-alike by some unseen force can't even faze it. Luckily for Koith and Jakob, it turned its attention the the titan-sized Super X. Flying up to the giant robot, it picked it up entirely by the chin and swung it around, throwing it through several buildings.
"AUGH!" Agai grunted as the force of the multiple impacts, rocked his cockpit, "Dammit, how can that robot do that?"
"Has to be heavier than ours," Val hypothesized, Super X getting back to its feet. The imposter delivered a devastating blow to Super X's face as soon as it got up, sending it through dozens of other buildings, nearly flattening the area with almost all of the buildings demolished.
"Dammit, I'm already sick of you!" Agai growled, Super X's chest opening up to reveal the laser gun it used the day before. "ERASER CANNON!"
Super X let out a burst of energy powerful enough to vaporize steel, the XJ 9-imposter taking the blast head-on. When the energy dissipated, and the debris and smoke cleared, the enemy robot stood completely unharmed by Super X's attack.
"No way..." Agai gasped in disbelief, before the new robot delivered another crushing blow, sending Super X into the sea.

"Dammit," Jericho said as he helped Nora carry Jenny back to their home, which was miraculously spared of the city-consuming carnage. "Tell me, Dr. Wakeman, can Jenny defeat this new robot?"
"Most certainly not," Nora responded, despair clear in her voice. "If my blueprints are to be believed, that is XJ-10."
"No doubt created in an alternate reality," Jericho said, putting two and two together, "Probably one where XJ-9 was destroyed..."

Koith looked to one his allies being knocked out and now under the depth of the ocean. This battle was no longer capable to sustain, without knowing the real weaknesses of that robot, this would be a suicide attack. Though his system was going in berserk mode, but a part of his AI still functioning with his own personality, leading him for a choice to flight. Before using the Cluster teleporter to warp him back into safety, he told Jakob.
"If you can use your spectral form to escape then do it now. This is a losing fight, and we have to find another way to deal with that thing rather than fighting it suicidally."
The strange force which helped Koith and Jakob pressed on the attack at multiple directions, though made no effective hits but gained much time for the others retreating from the battle. With Koith coordinated his teleporter into Nora's home, he appeared back while one G-Force member was with the doctor, giving some hand while bringing Jenny back to her safety...maybe for a moment. His nanosteel completed the repair so there was no need to endure the energy-consuming berserk mode anymore. He asked both Nora and that G-Force.
"We can't endure such a hopeless fight against it before its weaknesses being exploited. And, do you think this place is safe enough against that thing when it's coming here?"

The viscous fluid-like void seemed to quiver slowly like a gelatine being affected by tremors. Koith made the suggestion- a viable suggestion at that- but in his current suit-less form, the Jakob-void was not solid enough to maintain his structure if he were to run.
The mystery force- which Jakob figured was Kane attempting to earn good favour, provided decent covering fire. The Jakob-void moved his legs like strands of spaghetti, slowly gaining momentum until he found a good running pace in his current form. He needed to get back to his place so he could rebuild his suit and give the void a solid body again.

"How about it, Doctor?" Jericho said to Nora, "Even if the blueprints are incomplete, the smallest weakness will at least give us a fighting chance."
The impostor robot started heading toward the Wakeman house, when a gigantic hand wrapped around it and stopped its progress. It looked over its shoulder to see a long tendril-like arm connecting the hand to something beneath the waves. With a powerful yank, the impostor was pulled under by Super X Robo, reconfigured into its heavyweight formation.
"We're not done with you yet!" Val proclaimed as hatches opened up all across Super X's body.
"Explosive Cyclone!" Val commanded, Super X launching a maelstrom of torpedoes onto the impostor.

The Jakob-void smacked against the door like a raw steak, before it sank through the door through the space between the atoms. Once inside, the void slinked downstairs and ejected the ruined suit onto the concrete floor. The mech remained on stand-by in the basement.
“CONTACT LOST,” the mech reported, “AUTOMATED SYSTEMS SCANNED ENVIRONMENT OF LAST KNOWN CONTACT. ORIGINS OF BEAM WEAPON: REICHMACHT.”
“Of course it was Reichmacht…” Jakob grumbled as the void lifted the ruined suit and hoisted it onto the table. The mech connected to the table, and robotic arms unfolded to perform automated work on the suit remains.
“Not sure if the UN would allow such a weapon- part of the reason why Stylus split off.”
When the table’s work was done, Jakob absorbed the rebuilt suit and regained the structure of his exoskeleton. He then hopped into his mech and rejoined the communications channel with his allies. He wouldn’t be able to join the fight until his recovered suit systems run setup and diagnostics.
"I'm back in fighting shape. Where am I needed?"

"That's the point." Koith realized something "If we can re-scan the blueprints, we shall find its weaknesses. But just look at that thing performed, she overpowered and nearly killed most of us. And now at the moment while she might be busy dealing with another of her threats outside, we must do it quick, or the maker of that impostor knew how to zip up her flaws just before us and let her come here."

(Might wanna edit, Koith. The fight is underwater now and I'm damn sure Koith can't teleport.)

"It would be appreciated if you could set up some defense measures while the fight is under the waves," Jericho responded from Nora's basement as he studied the XJ-10 blueprints, "It looks like XJ-10's greatest weakness is lack of an internal reactor. Find a way to make it waste its own energy."
Jericho switched channels on his comm-link, reaching the rest of G-Force.
"Launch all unmanned drones."

"Got it." Koith replied as he started preparing everything he could to keep the Jenny-like robot at bay for a while if she come here. According to his eavesdropping device attached near his cranial AI, he found out that the copycat might suffer from the lack of energy which would have led her aiming towards the others' energy sources and Koith was one of them.
"So, we shall have a marathon before you come inside the house, right?"
Koith started digging in the best defense systems as he could to buy some time for that Jenny-like bot and burning as much energy of her as he could.

The blue orb of the Blink system appeared at the top of the skyscraper closest to the shoreline. From that angle, and the sensors installed within the mech, it would be able to spot the doppelgänger, and be able to fire down at it from a distance, if attack without risk of harming allies was a possibility. Jakob, however, hopped out of the mech and leaped off of the building.
Prior to landing, Jakob’s leg plating sank into the void, allowing the viscous ‘substance’ to take the brunt of the landing on the asphalt. Once his legs were back together again, Jakob produced his LMG- now fully loaded.
On the comm to G-Force, Jakob reported that he was standing by on the shoreline.

Just in time, as well, when Super X was thrust out from beneath the waves, landing with a thunderous crash as the XJ-Impostor slowly walked out of the water onto the beach. As soon as it made it past the sand and onto the grassline, a freeze ray hit its legs, immobilizing it.
"Ugh, finally you guys decide to show up," Val Groaned, looking at the fleet of unmanned Lone Star mechs approaching the XJ-Impostor. They all focused their freezer masers on the enemy, covering it in thick layers of ice.
That, of course, couldn't stop it, as it emitted enough heat to sublimate the ice, the increasing pressure combined with the heat easily breaking it free from the icy cage. It opened one of its arms into what looked like a railgun and fired. The blast burrowed through the Lone Star's TA323 armor effortlessly, taking out several units with one shot.

After all defenses had set, Koith had a quick check on his GPS. It seemed like the Jenny-like bot was having the short work with one of KM-08's allies and thanks to that mess which bought Koith much time to prepare everything he could if that front line fall before the impostor. Getting inside the house, Koith asked the guy who was assisting Nora finding the Achilles' heel of that robot wreaking havoc outside.
"My defenses set, but I don't think draining her energy is promising in the long run as she could snatch one of us and drain all of ours like a vampire thirsty for blood. We must find a second plan on the blueprints, the best way to get rid of her."
At the same time, the unknown force which helped Koith and the others appeared. With the cloak field turned off, it soon revealed that...another two Koith KM-08s? Standing at the shoreline, the one on the left said.
"It's seems we shall have more work to do next. Don't you think, Zwei?"
The Koith who being asked gave a smirk.
"Ja, Drei! While Ein was safe and now looking for a way to defeat that thing, we have to do what we must."
Looking to the G-Force's efforts was now in vain by the Jenny-like bot, both Koiths cloaked themselves and soon found a way into the battle. While Drei dived down towards the impostor, Zwei used his sniper rifle and gave that thing an accurate shot of ionized bullet which partially crippled her power source, enough to cut of the energy of the railgun before the G-Force getting another deadly shot.

When the XJ-9 impostor was trying to break out of the ice, Jakob took that opportunity to aim his LMG and fire a controlled volley. Due to the impostor's lack of movement, the rounds would hit. However, not even Jakob was certain if the impostor's armour was better than the fog-bots.

The XJ-Impostor didn't seem to respond to the sudden drain in power, instead turning its attention to the charging Drei. Transforming its free hand into what looked like a gigantic mallet, it swung at Drei. While the collision was heard, neither Drei nor his remains could be seen. The G-Force Lone Stars started a beam barrage on the impostor, as banging could be heard from inside the mallet. The impostor made no effort to dodge or block the attacks, the heat and electical beams simply bouncing off of its armor as the banging from within the mallet got weaker and weaker. It immediately became clear what happened to Drei when the XJ-Impostor held up its raigun arm and fired another blast into the army of drones. It was draining Drei's energy to make up for losing its own.
---
"Dammit!" Jericho swore as he looked on to the battle, the images being transmitted onto his HUD from one of the drone Lone Stars. "To whoever is on the battlefield, get as far away from the XJ-9-like robot as possible!"

Drei, though being hit and his energy drained by the Jenny-like, he laughed. Grabbing that thing's hand, he performed a teleportation loop which made him back to Zwei as his brother didn't mention much due to the Nanosteel shall recover itself in time. Drei smirked.
"Now let's see how can that thing cope with this."
The energy that impostor absorbed from Drei was modified with special nanomachines. If being drained by some kind of other sources, they will cripple those things' systems, making them a haywire. Now it's up to these brothers firing the ionized shots from their energy sniper rifles. With each bullet hit into the impostor, it might adding some more unfriendly energy inside her power source and soon, she will have to stand down on her knees.
