00:00I was reborn as a mecha with an empty shell, with my combat instincts, I secretly help my pilot defeat
00:06monsters, rather than a hero, I'm decommissioned for rookie training, because my core was damaged, in my last battle, limiting
00:14me, but this is just the start of my nightmare, my pilot, fey base, often pushes me until my gun
00:20barrel overheats, mechas don't feel pain, but my sync system is old, to connect pilot and mecha, we need to
00:27neural sync, this gives me phantom pain,
00:29even stranger, every time fey sinks with me, I sense her resentment, as I'm figuring this out, I hear the
00:36mechanics talking, SKYX's power core is failing, next training kills it for good, I'm shocked, shut down for good, before
00:45I can plan my survival, my radar blares, red dots race toward the base, then, the alarm screams, warning, monsters
00:54incoming, evacuate now, blue fireballs crash into the hangar, heading for the ops room,
00:59I grab a fireball midair, and slam it to the wall, all are shocked, how is SKYX moving on his
01:06own, footsteps echo outside the ops room, sir, Leviathan fired unknown energy into the sky, and they're heading toward city,
01:14general Roy Knox quickly orders, everyone, get ready for battle, notify seahaven, cut non-essential power, and route max power
01:22output to the barrier, suddenly, a terrified soldier runs in, sir, those are all T2s and hybrids,
01:29General Knox's face darkens, he recalls the front line mechas, but Cyclone and Raider are 30 minutes out, meaning the
01:36base must hold the line, missiles bomb the monsters, and their flesh rain down, many monsters still land and hatch,
01:43T2s are 15 feet tall, small compared to 165 foot monsters, and they can be killed with heavy ground forces,
01:50Hybrids form when special T2s fuse together, instantly evolving into 100 foot subgiants, the problem is, they don't begin as
01:58hybrids, minutes take by, gunfire continues outside, the ops staff relay Roy's orders,
02:04Faye stands at my cockpit, in her white combat suit, cables surround me, they're optimizing me for combat, Faye and
02:11I are, the only pilot in mecha left in the base, a roaring rubs outside the hangar, no T2s could
02:17make them sound, the huge steel door is torn open, it's a hybrid, Faye urgently asks about my status, the
02:24mechanic says, power core at 60%, cannon loaded, joints normal,
02:29charging reserve power, charging reserve power, outside, the hybrid desperately tears at the gap, seeing this, Faye immediately starts the
02:37neural sink, come on, show me how you earned your legendary status, at least let me finish charging first, the
02:44moment neural sink completes, I lose all movement control, Faye loves entering overdrive, to boost my performance, just as I
02:52break free from the cable,
02:53the hybrid tears the door completely open, it's 65 feet shorter, but we're evenly match in strength, Faye maxes out
03:01the thruster right away, we lift off and clock the hybrid, before it can react, we punch him again in
03:07the jaw, stunned by both blows, it falls backward, twin blades slide from my wrist, I leap and slash down
03:14at his head, a warning sounds, back 32% damaged, I've missed its head, and taken a hit from its
03:20three sharp tails,
03:21the tails, the tails strike again before Faye can react, suddenly, I enter overdrive without Faye's command, she instantly feels
03:29me controlling her, I swivel and slash at the incoming tails, a hybrid roars in anger, Faye makes her move,
03:36despite the tail in my back, she ignites the thruster, and brings my blade down on the hybrid's neck, then,
03:42she yanks the tail out of my back,
03:44I stand up from the corpse, sparks fly from the gash in my back, this girl is crazy, if I
03:50hadn't taken control earlier, I'd be scrap metal by now, Faye seeks Roy's praise, but he anxiously orders her back,
03:58suddenly, two more freshly fused hybrids appear,
04:01Faye takes a fighting stance instead of retreating, I'm dumbfounded, for god's sake, my injured back is slowing me, my
04:08power core's overheating, and I can't risk another takeover, otherwise, I'll self destruct, as I waver, my gear starts whirring,
04:20I need to figure out how to evolve now, if Faye charges, we're done, data streams into my mind, so,
04:27every kill earns me points, stronger monsters will earn me more points, points can be exchanged, for mecha upgrades, weapon
04:35mods, and even unmastered tech, the hybrid's roar snaps me back, Faye's already charging at them,
04:41I quickly redeem the nuclear core, and holocom system, one boosts my performance, while the other lets me talk to
04:48Faye, both are core components, and cost 16,000 points in total, success, items will be delivered in 10 minutes,
04:56I freeze, that long?
04:58Guess I'm on my own for now, Faye charges, bringing the blade on the hybrid, but it blocks with one
05:04claw, and slashes me with another, I block it, too, leaving us in a deadlock, but hybrids have 3 tails,
05:11they lunge for my head, and I suffer direct damage, lucky Faye's in my chest, she fires the cannon at
05:18the hybrid's eyes, blazing fire erupts, the hybrid screams, while Faye yells,
05:22Die, I force the blades into the hybrid's chest, before it falls, I unleash my special attack, lightning fast slashes
05:32sever it's head clean off, it's not over, the other hybrid is already upon me, having no room to maneuver,
05:39I raise both blades, the hybrid charges and headbutts me, Faye feels like she's been hit by a speeding car,
05:45warning, arm 47% damaged, waist 83% damaged, thrusters offline,
05:51Even at 8000 tons, I'm sent flying, critical damage, immediately use escape pod, Faye grips the seat and pulls herself
05:59up, she'd sooner die in here than retreat, I'm full of holes now, the hybrid roars at me, ready to
06:06charge again, just what I feared, my best chance is to take it down from mid range, but I have
06:11no such attack, my eyes fall on the dead hybrid, the other hybrid charges, Faye breathes in, she bets she
06:17can dodge, and slice its head off,
06:20But she knows her odds are near zero, the hybrid nears, and a voice Faye dreaded rings out, warning, sync
06:26rate dropped to 27%, exit immediately, Faye has heard this warning many times, every time, I shut down completely, no
06:35matter how she orders me,
06:36I won't move, it's why she never sees action, move, why does it have to happen now, she pounds the
06:42controls, and I actually move, but it's not how she wanted, a force yanks her back, she's now back in
06:48my control,
06:49I rush to the hybrid corpse, and slice one of its tails off, then, I hurl it with all my
06:55strength, at the charging hybrid, it cuts through the air, and pierces through its head, after that, I drag myself
07:02toward the hangar, I'm at my limits, without an upgrade, I'll be scrap metal soon,
07:07Faye stares at the flashing red panel, choked with emotion, just as we reach the hangar, an immense roar erupts
07:14from the sea, unknown monster detected, energy level 4, the system said,
07:19Roy shouts, Faye, evacuate the mecha now, a level 4 monster is forming, no way, Faye says angrily, she'll comply
07:27with anyone else's orders, but Roy's orders always cut deep, do it,
07:31Faye cuts comms with ops, she knows only we can stop this now, she became a pilot to protect the
07:37weak, no matter the cost, a dozen T2s are fusing, but not as before, a normal fusion takes seconds, to
07:44guard itself, it spawns several more hybrids, there are 3 minutes until my delivery, I smile wryly, warning, neural sink
07:52lost, I open the cockpit and pull Faye out, before she knows it, she finds herself in the hangar,
07:58What, in ops room, everyone stares in disbelief, Roy watches me walk off into the sunset, I walk toward the
08:05shore, memories flash before my eyes, cities crushed, millions dead, mecha's fighting to death, pilots entombed, what is a mecha's
08:14purpose, SKYX demands, cooling tanks fall from my body, my glass steams over, warning, power core overloads, hull melting, I
08:23feel my armor twisting from the heat,
08:25The core's about to blow, but behind me is a city, a failing defense, and countless lives, fight to the
08:32end, is this me or SKYX thinking, right now, we are one, I speed up, even as I overheat, I
08:39still feel the energy surge through me, a mecha lives for battle, I charge forward, heat pours through my joints,
08:45for a moment, I'm back 10 years ago, show me all you've got,
08:49I rush toward the fusion, 7 hybrids block my path, I draw my blade, and stab one's head, then punch
08:56another in the face, warning, arm 31% damaged, 6 thick tails lunge straight for my chest, I grab 2,
09:05but the other 2, sink deep into my armor, rather than fall, I rip both tails in 2, with brute
09:11force and the heat from my body, then,
09:13I slice off the remaining 4 tails, warning, chest 67% damaged, I don't care anymore, I'm 1 with SKYX
09:21until the end, as I rip the tails out, the 2 hybrids go berserk, and charge right at me, I
09:27try to dodge, warning, power core is collapsing, 5 minutes 43 seconds to meltdown, raw power consumes me,
09:35but I feel weightless, I meet the 2 hybrids head on, my heat warped blades, slice their necks, leaving feet
09:42long wounds, I roll and land, what little armor I have left falls away, counting the injured ones, 6 hybrids
09:49now surround me, I bravely charge at the nearest 2, feeling as if I have flesh again, their claws never
09:55reach me,
09:56I grab their heads with my burning hands, fingers deep in flesh, I smash their skulls together, I spin around,
10:03and decapitate one trying to ambush me, with my warped blade, the blade stays stuck there, warning, left blade damaged,
10:12the last 3 hybrids charge together, even shielded, my waist takes heavy damage, warning, waist destroyed, left arm 81%
10:20damaged, no muscle signal, rebooting, my upper and lower body hang by threads,
10:25my left arm just a metal frame, but a soul burns within this steel, so long as the core holds,
10:31I command this body, I grab the hybrid by its head, and knee it in the chin, near molten metal
10:37crushes its jaw into pulp, warning, chest destroyed, tails pierce my back, one reaches deep into my failing core, and
10:45melts in an instant, my right blade is nearly gone, one shot remains, not yet,
10:50I grab hold of a tail, and pull it through my chest, I can feel my power fading, the core
10:56is about to go dark, with a roar, I drive the tail spike, into a hybrid's head, ignoring my injuries,
11:02I grab the last hybrid, by the throat, one hand on its jaw, and the other on its skull, it
11:08claws at me wildly, but I don't let go, die, giving it all, I tear its head in two, last
11:14energy spent,
11:15seven hybrids lie dead before me, only the fusion remains, the system is silent now, and the core is flickering
11:22out, the new monster is almost hatched, it towers 65 feet above me, if it breaks free, it's over,
11:29I want to stop it, but I'm falling apart, my core is dead, I press on, fueled by my own
11:34decay, on her knees in the hangar, Faye tearfully watches me head for the fusion, I must fight to the
11:40end, but alas,
11:42my blade stops just short of it, the last of my power gone, I stand frozen, like a statue, a
11:48soldier reports,
11:49Sir, an unknown object is approaching the hangar, Roy turns to the monitors, a huge black cube crashes, to the
11:56ground with a boom, any energy signatures?
11:59Dash no, dash, then focus on the fusion, Roy swings half the coastal guns, toward the fusion, dash, but SKYX,
12:06dash no butts, he has no choice but to hit SKYX as well,
12:09Cyclone and Striker speed toward the fusion, from the distance, nine missiles fly out, of Silcone's chest, and toward the
12:16fusion, through the smoke, the fusion roars at the mechas,
12:20its massive sigh shocks everyone, it stops hatching, to survive the attack, Roy orders Cyclone and Striker, to engage at
12:28full speed,
12:29Cyclone charges at the fusion like a comet, its pilot, Ben Smith, grins, Rick, leave this to me, Cyclone reaches
12:36the fusion, and punches its huge head,
12:39it stumbles back, knocking SKYX into the sea, a deep crack splits its face, I'm not done yet, Cyclone's fist
12:46transforms, revealing a turbocharger,
12:495th gear, a gift just for you, Ben strikes, 100 punches in one, the charged red fist, slams into the
12:56fusion, sending it flying,
12:58Raider finally arrives beside Cyclone, they stare at where the fusion has fallen, you're late, saying nothing, Rick Dunn grabs
13:06the fusion and yanks it from the sea,
13:08finally, he says, confirmed kill, Roy orders, cease fire, all units to shelters, wait for orders, Cyclone, clear all T2s,
13:17Raider, recover SKYX and that mysterious object, then, fight on, Cyclone arm then shifts, into a cannon, Cyclone fires at
13:25the T2s,
13:26the blue fire rain finally stops, no more monsters will come, the battle finally ends 30 minutes later,
13:32all but repair crews, gather in the hangar, SKYX rests beside the cube, as a few researchers, examine it, but
13:40most stand before sticks,
13:42Faye, hollow-eyed, leans against the cockpit, Roy turns from SKYX, and heads toward the arguing crowd,
13:49well, any conclusions, the material and tech are beyond me, Roy asks, can the space station trace where it fell
13:56from,
13:56they say it came from Eden, Roy falls silent, Eden is an unmanned station,
14:01the halo launched 2 months ago, the watcher and the halo are enemies, so, Roy can't tell, if this is
14:07help or a trap,
14:08a researcher says, no way, humans built this, the hangar goes dead quiet, they don't doubt him,
14:15but all they know has only ever come from the sea, their stares at the cube grow odd, as if
14:20it's something capable of ending the world,
14:23Faye breaks the silence, why not fix SKYX instead of studying this dumb cube, no one knows what she's been
14:29through,
14:29she'd used him recklessly, had she known he has a will, no one answers her, he's been lying here since
14:35you pulled him out,
14:37Joe Cox, a scientist, says, Faye, the cube takes priority, Faye roars, we all owe our lives to SKYX,
14:44Ben snaps, my brother and I owe him nothing, don't expect sympathy, this isn't a memorial service,
14:51Roy orders, quiet, Faye, go rest, Faye yells, you don't get to say that, you failed SKYX,
14:59if, her voice catches, Roy just stares sternly at her, a middle aged man walks up to SKYX,
15:06Faye, he's beyond repair, it's Levi Cruz, SKYX's mechanic, he's been the one repairing him since day 1,
15:13after 10 years, he knows it's better to use that money, for a new mecca, but Faye stands firm,
15:18Roy finally asks, any spare parts left for SKYX, one set, but they're old, then, use them,
15:26note any shortages, everyone freezes, for a base on a tight budget, this is wasteful,
15:31but Roy says, we need a hero, they all agree to fix SKYX, still, their focus, returns to the cube,
15:38Faye interrupts Joe, SKYX and this cube are linked, she holds up, a broken support beam from SKYX,
15:45you crazy, Ben's had enough of her, what makes you so sure they're linked, Faye isn't lying,
15:51when Faye picks up that broken beam, she feels a faint pull, coming from the cube, ignoring Ben,
15:58she walks toward the cube, the beam trembles more with each step, she lets go, and it flies straight
16:03into the cube, the cube blows blue and splits open, then dissolves into micro geometric forms,
16:09they surge into SKYX's chest, forming a big black sphere, and fusing with his body,
16:14in less than 10 seconds, Levi suddenly exclaims, is that the shape, of a power core, Roy turns grim,
16:22Levi, pause the repairs, if that core is latching onto SKYX, it'll be disastrous,
16:28Levi panics, what should we do, for now, lift SKYX up, and try to separate the core,
16:34if it works, keep him away, and start the repairs, don't give the cube any opening,
16:39yes, sir, Levi gives a salute, Roy turns to Faye angrily, you realize what insubordination means,
16:46she meet his gaze, I regret nothing, do what you must, Roy shakes his head, saving lives doesn't
16:52justify defiance, you're just stubborn and reckless, you must know that your duty is to obey,
16:58Faye refuses to yield, you were born a soldier, I wasn't, a flicker of sorrow crosses Roy's eyes,
17:05I'm suspending you, one week in solitary, if your attitude hasn't changed by then, you're out,
17:11understood, yes, sir, everyone disperses, as Roy turns to leave, Faye grabs his sleeve,
17:18head hung, she says, I have a request, Roy closes his eyes, what, promise me you'll fix SKYX,
17:25I promise, they don't realize, their repairs will hurt SKYX, Joe decides to use, Cyclone's sword,
17:31to cut through SKYX's chest, at his command, the blazing blade slowly pierces the sphere,
17:37to everyone's shock, there's no sound or spark, Ben cranks up the power, Cyclone's arms shift,
17:43revealing the energy accelerator, hidden in its elbow, the golden blade, turns deep orange,
17:48its temperature now rivals, any mecha core in overdrive, stop, in the ops room, Joe removes his
17:55glasses, even at max safe output, the sword can't scratch that sphere, we're only wasting
18:00time, Liz Cole, blonde and blue eyed, sighs next to him, Cyclone pulls the sword away from the core,
18:07Joe suddenly orders a thermal cut of SKYX's armor, to determine how far the alien matter,
18:13has spread inside his body, Ben stares, at the holographic control panel, which shows scans of
18:19SKYX's remains, SKYX's alloys, are degrading fast, meaning the fusion runs deep, with approval,
18:26Cyclone aims his sword, just above SKYX's core, or in human terms, the heart, the blade sinks in,
18:33Ben smiles, only for it to stiffen, a while later, the blade only pierces 20 inches deep,
18:39he pulls out and tries, the shoulder and waist, it yields the same result, 30 and 33 inches,
18:46Ben laughs bitterly, guess we're too late, if they hadn't touched, that cube, with that beam,
18:51this wouldn't have happened, Joe says, contact General Knox, execute plan B, fire the core,
18:57study it inside SKYX, 10 minutes later, Roy arrives with his team, he explains to Joe,
19:03SKYX is an old mecca, with immature tech, we have to manually spark ignition, dozens of cables latch
19:09onto SKYX, they pull, the ignition lever, the cables flash white, sending pulsing current into SKYX,
19:16gears begin to turn, the black core heats up, SKYX's turbine spins slowly, ignition successful,
19:23power rising, on the op screen, numbers climb fast, just as things seem smooth, the system blares,
19:29unknown program detected, shutdown initiated, Joe shouts, cut the connection, the alarm screams,
19:36nearly shattering eardrums, technicians fight, to cut the power, but to no avail, the breaker blows,
19:42and energy is reversing, the ops room, is about to explode, the crackling surge swallows all cries,
19:49sparks erupt from every panel, the lab flickers into chaos, just as everyone moves to evacuate,
19:55SKYX hums, deep inside the mecca, I finally wait, holy CR asterisk P, that was one hell of an app,
20:03I try to move, only to find the heaviness gone, in its place is a raw surging power, I've never
20:08felt before,
20:08host in critical state, reconstructing abyss core, holocom loaded, assimilation complete,
20:15I am dumbfounded, I can't believe the parts, I traded for, fell from the sky, and into my body,
20:21it's more like, a bomb drop, than a delivery, suddenly, raw power overwhelms my system,
20:27everyone watches in horror, as the black sphere, splits open like a red eye, with a crack,
20:33the cables connected to me, snap and whip through the air, I slowly raise my broken arm,
20:39it begins to rebuild itself, under a shroud of black light, Levi, he's moving, SKYX is alive,
20:46Levi covers his mouth, eyes red, others react differently, Roy orders full alert, he might
20:51be possessed, soldiers aim cannons at me, Cyclone's engines ignite, Ben snarls, I knew he was trouble,
20:57I'm going to tear him apart, I look at Cyclone, and at the cannons, sighing, can't I catch a break
21:04at
21:04all, I feel my abyss core surging wildly, I smirk, they can't push me around anymore, the air turns
21:11heavy, and the alarm wails on, Cyclone's engine howls, as he charges toward me, Ben snarls through
21:17the comm, know your place and just die, the old me would've kept my distance, from a third gen mecha,
21:23but through my new optic sensor, Cyclone's turbo boosted punch looks slow, I raise my broken left
21:30hand, and a boom shakes the hanger, Cyclone's fist, strong enough to crush a T2 skull, lands firmly
21:37in my palm, with us as the center, the shot wave blasts out, but I remain still, ground intact beneath,
21:44no way, Ben roars and tries, to pull back, I tighten my grip, my fingers bulging, Cyclone's joints groan,
21:51sparks flying, my eyes flickers, is that all you've got, too slow, I say, with my AI synthesized
21:57voice, I hurl Cyclone away, he slams, into the blast wall, dust and debris, explode into the air,
22:04Roy loses it, fire, that thing's possessed, he waves his hand, and dozens of cannons, lock onto my core,
22:12suddenly, a military jeep tears into the kill zone, and screeches to a halt, right in front of me,
22:18Faye jumps out, and spreads her arms wide, to shield me, don't shoot, he's SKYX, before Roy can react,
22:27the whole base shakes violently, warning, defense systems fully offline, level 5 monster detected,
22:34a column of water erupts from the sea, a black monster swiftly breaks through, the outer defense,
22:41doom descends upon the base, the monster's body is covered in scales, both of its arms transform,
22:47into vibrating blades, cannons fall useless, as it glides through untouched, it moves toward the
22:53ops room like an assassin, see our asterisk key, Cyclone won't start, he's too damaged,
22:59then ponds the control, trying again, but there's only static, the monster is less than 500 yards out,
23:06Roy turns to Faye, one last chance, if SKYX goes rogue, I'll kill you myself,
23:12Faye sprints toward me, and leaps into the cockpit, but the moment she sits down, she freezes,
23:18the old panel is gone, in its place is a holographic one floating in midair, and neural data flowing along
23:24the walls, it looks like an alien ship, welcome back, I say warmly, buckle up, kid, for once,
23:31the neural sink doesn't bring pain, I sense her racing heart, ans she feels my fury,
23:37we become one in that moment, sink rate 100%, 200%, the number skyrockets, then stops at 400%,
23:45abyss mode activated, I move, and the ground cracks, darkness engulfs my broken blade,
23:51reshaping its metal, a black side emerges, red veins pulsing along its edge, the monster senses
23:57lethal danger, it stops and turns to flee, a shadow blurs by, no one sees it happens,
24:03the monster is still mid-stride in the air, as its head slowly rolls off, it's at instant kill,
24:09I lower the sight, and turn toward the ops room, under their terrified stairs, I kneel on one knee,
24:16disarm my weapon, and bow in submission, after the battle, I'm still not free, the higher ups still
24:22fear what I am, I'm held in a repair bay, they won't dismantle me, but the perimeter is surrounded,
24:29by electric fences, bored, I turn inward to study, my system, after days of diagnostics,
24:36I finally learn the black cube, is Eden's core creation, it provides unlimited power,
24:42vast database, and micro-armory,
24:49a system prompt sounds, I read it and freeze, I can now control soulless mechas,
24:55through core frequency, making them my puppets, no more solo fight, SKYX, how are you today,
25:01Faye walks in with maintenance tools, only she is allowed near me, I don't require upkeep,
25:07but she still visits daily, bored, but fine, I reply casually, the wifi here is too slow,
25:13I can't even stream, Faye chokes on her water, spraying it everywhere, you sound like a human,
25:19she says, staring at me wide-eyed, I am one, just better built, my eyes flash, and I shrug,
25:26from that day on, Faye no longer sees me, as just a machine, but her comrade, we spend a cozy
25:32time,
25:33together, but it doesn't last long, a week later, an alarm sounds, several silver airships lands on
25:39the base, the halo has come, they're elites who live, in the space city, Max Hill walks up to Roy,
25:45ignoring everyone else, he's dressed in a white suit, his hair is perfectly styled, and his face
25:51is arrogant, General Knox, article 73 states, the sample is ours, handed over, or else, SKYX is a
25:58hero who saved us, not some sample, Roy says, he's nothing but a rogue, Max scoffs, and claps his hands,
26:05the airship behind him opens, a sacred, yet oppressive air, fills the area, a legless,
26:11white mecha, hovers out slowly, six pairs of wings fan behind her, its face a smooth mask,
26:17it's the halo's new mecha, Seraphim, cooperate, or we'll consider you a threat, Max warns, while
26:23adjusting his glasses, we'll cut off all your power, and blast this place apart, I watch it all,
26:30through the monitor in the bay, a red mission window pops up, mission, resist recovery,
26:35teach the halo a lesson, reward, electromagnetic camouflage, EMC, they want to take me?
26:41As if I'll agree to it, the talk falls through, Max runs out of patience, or maybe this is all
26:46part
26:47of his plan, with a wave of his hand, Seraphim's wings flare, several beings slice through our
26:52defense easily, stop, Ben roars, this is our territory, Ben charges in the repaired Cyclone,
26:58he may hate me, but he'll still fight, a common foe, yet, before the ultra high tech Seraphim,
27:04Cyclone seems weak, Seraphim spreads her wings, deflecting the missiles, Cyclone launches with
27:10the blue shield, she raises her right hand, a beam pierces Cyclone's shoulder, nailing him down,
27:16too weak, your outdated tech is laughable, Max mocks, shaking his head, a roaring black bolt,
27:23rips through the hangar door, I step through the dust, scythe in hand, it's brutality versus grace,
27:29old versus new, Seraphim keeps her distance, attacking me from afar, I activate my abyss core,
27:35the beams striking me, are absorbed on contact, fueling my rampage, Max says, what, it's absorbing
27:43the beam, impossible, Max drops, his wine glass in shock, I charge through the barrage, one hand
27:50grabs, Seraphim's waist, while the other brings the scythe down, metal screams as I rip, her energy
27:56shield, and tear off two of her wings, pinned under my foot, she loses her lofty elegance,
28:02we win in crush, the halos pride at the cost of crossing them, Max's parting threat is no joke,
28:09General Knox, let's go, they could strike here any minute, Faye says urgently, Roy surveys the base
28:14he defended for decades, now in ruins, he takes a breath and orders, evacuate to facility 13,
28:21take all supplies in mecca, escape won't be easy, the halos drones shadow us, standing by the fire,
28:27we won't last at this rate, I cash in on the EMC after taking a glance, at the panel, a
28:33pulse ripples
28:34outward, engulfing the onboard, we simply vanish on the halo's radar and thermal scans, when night
28:40falls, we stop at a valley, I sit on the cliff edge, looking up at the glow of the halo
28:45space city,
28:46Faye climbs up and settles on my shoulder, swinging her legs, who are you, you fight and talk exactly
28:54like him, she asks, hungry for confirmation, remember the pilot, who never returned after
29:00taking the nuke, into the wormhole 10 years ago, in the first monster war, Faye trembles, crying,
29:05her voice shakes, you were, my brothers' best comrade, Leo Ward, yes, I murmur, my eyes softening,
29:13Faye holds my metal head, and weeps, the monsters sense our rift, and evolve accordingly, just as we reach,
29:19the underground base, intel arrives, a new level 4 monster, the volt, has appeared, it can let out
29:26strong electromagnetic pulses, the mechas after us had their circuits fried, when they met the volt,
29:32they stop and are torn up, sh asterisk t, all electronics are dead, radar, fire control, and
29:39even the lights, staring at the dark screens, Roy pounds the desk, I stand up, glowing faintly,
29:45my abyss core is half organic, so it's immune to EMP, I walk toward the warehouse, where dozens of
29:51first gen mechas are stored, I can't connect to them, but my combat sense remains, I connect to
29:57these dormant mechas, using a frequency similar to brainwaves, an odd sight appears on the field,
30:04one dark glowing futuristic mecha, followed by first gen mechas, moving stiffly and spewing smoke,
30:10they use all kinds of weapons, to fight the monster, oil mixes with blue blood, meanwhile,
30:16using the dead seraphim as a bridge, I hack into the halo's highest database, as the firewalls fall,
30:22I learn of a sickening and horrifying truth, the monsters aren't aliens, but Eden's failed experiments,
30:29the halo, sick of earth's rot and used up land, tried to create bioweapons, fit for harsh lands,
30:35their goal is to kill off, the low tier population and ecosystem, to make room for their own return,
30:41to build a new world, my abyss core is, the halo's only successful mutation core, I'm both their key,
30:48and worst mistake, they're not saviors, but devils, I project the image, of monster cultivation,
30:55and human experiments onto the ops room's main screen, Roy turns pale, trembling, he draws his gun,
31:01and slams his fist onto the table, shattering it, the asterisk starts, we bleed to save humanity,
31:08yet they stop us like bugs, he won't let the truth be buried, vengeance burns in his eyes,
31:13we must tell the world about this, and expose the halo, but the halo finds me out, they drop all
31:19pretense, and send their mechas to trap us inside the base, missiles and beams smash the weak bunker,
31:25to buy time for the data send, I charge out front, a shell blows near me, my left leg's hydraulic
31:31rod
31:31snaps, Levi says, hold still, I can fix it, Levi runs through gunfire, toolbox in hand, go back,
31:39it's real risky, I yell, shielding him, but he keeps working, the moment he's done, a grenade,
31:45rips through his chest, he falls, still gripping his old wrench, his eyes fade, fixed on my leg,
31:51SKY axe, legs fixed, I stare at his still body, something snaps in me, warning, emotion max,
31:58rage mode on, die, I roar, blast shatters, red crystal spikes burst from my body, I drop my blade
32:04in charge, oil and parts fly, as I rip the enemy mechas apart, finally, there's an opening,
32:11I guard the truck carrying the truth, but more mechas keep coming, go, I ll hold them,
32:17Ben says, over the calm, the broken, one armed cyclone, blocks the canyon, Ben, are you crazy,
32:23that's a dead end, Faye yells, I've long hated the halo, so now's my chance to beat them, SKY X,
32:31I was wrong before, goodbye, everyone, Ben laughs, then sets off cyclone's unstable core,
32:36a mushroom cloud rises, at the canyon's mouth, the falling rock seals the enemy's path,
32:41and buries a hero, that same day, the truth reaches the world, the halo's crime sparks fury,
32:48armies in people, rise up like never before, the halo's rule crumbles, but before we can celebrate,
32:54the deep sea station reports, mother monster Leviathan has awakened, with a low hum,
33:00Leviathan rises from the ocean, at 1000 feet long, Leviathan triggers a tidal wave,
33:06just by surfacing, cities fall in an instant, desperate to save itself,
33:10the halo deploys Olympus, a massive floating fortress, packed with fake guns, yet, before
33:16Leviathan, it looks so small, it unleashes a blue beam, toward Olympus, shattering its shield,
33:22the hull breaks and falls, into the sea as fireballs, despair grips, all of humanity,
33:28all attacks are useless on Leviathan, after the halo falls, the last of humanity sets aside,
33:34all grudges, and forms the earth united defense, I am now,
33:38humanity's final hope, system, exchange all points, including the backup life support energy,
33:45I say comely, on the mod bay, please confirm, this will use all reserves, if it fails, you will die,
33:52confirm, I've waited long for this, nanobots flood my frame, the mod bay's arms spin,
33:57I grow to 250 feet, dark gold runes cover me, and 6 huge energy wings, burst from my back,
34:04in my hand, I grip an axe, I, war god, have descended, on doomsday, thousands of mecha gather
34:09on the coast, across from us is, a monster swarm and Leviathan, Fae sits in my cockpit,
34:16since I've gained consciousness, I don't really need a pilot, but I know she needs to be here,
34:21and I need her by my side, she's my anchor, proof of my humanity, I charge into the sea first,
34:27fighting all the way down, the sea turns red, mecha wrecks and monster corpses litter the deep,
34:33sea pressure, warps the mechas with me, only I move freely, thanks to my strange body,
34:39not only strong, Leviathan can attack the mind as well, eyes gleaming, it send, waves of mind blasts
34:45to Fae, she screams in pain, clutching her bleeding head, blood gushes out of her eyes,
34:50detected a sharp decline in the driver's vital signs, my heart twists, system, cut our neural
34:56sink, and send all the mind blasts to me, do it, Fae passes out, on the pilot seat, I feel
35:07like my soul,
35:08is being stabbed, my sight blurs, dated glitches, but I grit my teeth and take the hit,
35:13I frenziedly grapple with Leviathan, and slice off his tentacles, its blood turns the sea black,
35:19as it's roaring in pain, I dive, into his colossal mouth, inside his body, I see his core,
35:25it looks like a beating heart, and is connected to a purple vortex, a portal to another dimension,
35:31if I don't destroy it, monsters will come endlessly, to kill us, host soul is being taken over by energy,
35:38from another world, leave now, or host will vanish forever, the system warns,
35:42I look at the core, then at Fae, I make up my mind, what happened, where are we, Fae wakes
35:48up under my
35:49protocol, looking around her, we're in its belly, there's the core, I'm going to set the bomb,
35:55get ready, I lie nonchalantly, okay, I'll go with you, she tries to stand, not this time,
36:01I say gently, you should rest, what do you mean, Fae suddenly has, a bad feeling,
36:07eject, sequence initiated, locking onto surface, no, SKYX, what are you doing, Fae screams,
36:14pounding the hatch, I burn her tear-streaked face into my memory, live, see the new world for me,
36:20the cockpit shoots toward the surface, with Fae in it, I watch her go, then, I turn and hug,
36:26the pulsing core tightly, abyss core, limiters off, max overdrive, let's die together, a blinding light
36:34erupts, from the ocean depths, the water vanishes, and the seabed melts, the blast reshapes the earth
36:40itself, the shockwave kills Leviathan, and rips apart the portal, the monsters and the halo are gone,
36:46the survivors emerge, and weep for joy at the long lost sun, true peace, at last, three years later,
36:52in the city's new town square, stands a 300 foot statue of SKYX, it's paid for by the people to
36:58honor him, Fae has retired from piloting, and now teaches rookies how to bond with their meccas,
37:04Fae stays single, despite many suitors, every year on this day, she'll toss a bouquet of daisy,
37:09into the sea, SKYX, everyone says you're dead, but I still feel you with me, she says, staring at the
37:16sea,
37:16her old wrist calm, silent for three years, suddenly blinks red, a familiar voice,
37:21crackles through it, kid, the water's freezing, Fae drops her sunglasses, in shock as tears stream
37:28down, my consciousness didn't fully vanish, in the blast, it rode the global data stream,
37:34and uploaded itself to the cloud, now, I am everywhere, always watching over Fae,
37:40the base's main screen, suddenly cuts to a silly face, I drew just for her, Fae sees it and laughs,
37:46she wipes her eyes, and looks up at the sky, welcome home, SKYX,
