Sierra and General Fatalis stare each other down on the Dunkleosteus, waiting for the other to make a move. Suddenly, the two of them rush towards each other at a break neck speed. The two mech lunge towards each other before the Battle Kong deals the first blow in the form of a punch to the face. This sends the Thylacoleo flying but the marsupial was able to land on its feet just in time. General Fatalis readies his pulse cannons and fires at Sierra. Sierra barely dodges the shot and counters with a shot from her pulse cannon. The Thylacoleo dodges and begins rushing towards the Battle Kong. The speed of the Thylacoleo makes it difficult for Sierra to land a clean shot. Eventually, the Thylacoleo pounces on the Battle Kong and rips the pulse cannon clean off with its powerful jaws. Sierra responds by grabbing the Thylacoleo, pinning it down, and ripping the pulse cannon off before kicking the marsupial. General Fatalis can’t help but take pride in this battle.

“HA! HA! HA! Now this is a fight! We should’ve used these things sooner! You know. You would have made an excellent soldier for the Federation. The position is always open if you’re interested.” Says General Fatalis.

“No thanks. I never liked hierarchies.” Says Sierra, ready to keep on fighting.

“That’s a shame. No matter. We weren’t taking prisoners anyway!” Says General Fatalis.

The Thylacoleo gets back up and proceeds to charge at the Battle Kong. Sierra just stands there, waiting patiently for the right moment. As the Thylacoleo is about to strike with its claws, Sierra goes for what at first looks like a punch. Suddenly, the forearms of the Battle Kong open up and reveals hidden blades underneath. The blade proceeds to slice through the belly of the Thylacoleo, staining the ship with fluid. The Thylacoleo crashed on the ship and lies there motionless. With the Thylacoleo seemingly dealt with, Sierra begins to pull apart panels upon panels of the Dunkleosteus. This provides an opening for the starfighters to do internal damage to the massive ship. Seeing this, General Fatalis musters whatever energy the Thylacoleo has left and starts charging towards Sierra. Sierra sees this and quickly grabs Thylacoleo by the tail before tossing it into an enemy starfighter.

“No! This cannot be! Losing to some pointless punk! Damn it!” Says General Fatalis before his mech explodes.

Sierra takes a quick breather before grabbing the wires of the Dunkleosteus and tears them out of the ship. This causes the Dunkleosteus to malfunction as several key systems stop working one by one. The enemy starfighters are ordered to fall back by the second in command and they all do so. The Humpback crew breathes a sigh of relief knowing they had won this battle. Jack rushes towards Sierra in order to get her out of there. Sierra leaps off the Dunkleosteus and lands on the Eagle. Sierra and Jack watch as the Federation leaves with their tails between their legs.

“Who would’ve guessed we would make enemies out of the Republic and the Federation. Just our luck, right?” Says Sierra with a slight chuckle.

“You’re damn right about that. Even better knowing we sent the Federation packing.” Says Jack.

“Absolutely. Let’s head back to the Humpback. Everyone is waiting for us.” Says Sierra.

Sierra and Jack return to the Humpback and were greeted back by most of the crew. Farron thanks the crew for working together to push back the Federations attack. Sierra and Jack also thank the crew for the help. The celebration is cut short when Xel approaches Sierra and Jack with information on what started the war.

“It turns out Ragnarök released a virus that sent every mech on Earth and Virontus. Needless to say, the President and Emperor were quick to blame the other for the incident.” Says Xel, showing the news article.

“Not surprised my species would fall for it hook, line, and sinker. Humans have a tendency of giving into their worst tendencies. Especially when fear is involved.” Says Jack.

“Is there any good news at least?” Asks Sierra.

“In fact, there is. An antivirus program was made using the Adaptus program to stop the rampaging mechs. Turns out the Adaptus program was in the hands in of a mech team known as the Star riders.” Says Xel, showing a picture of the Star riders.

“Good to know we have allies in this fight. Now more than ever, we need all the help we can get. Everyone! Set course for the Star riders’ current location!” Orders Captain Farron.

The Humpback pin points the location of the Star riders and begin heading towards their destination. Meanwhile, Jack looks into the vacuum of space concerned about their chances in this conflict. Sierra stands beside him an reassures that they will overcome these dark times. Xel is also quick to point out that they have each other to rely on. From this day forward, they are more than just the crew of the Humpback. They are the resistance.

Elsewhere, a ship known as the Leviathan hovers over Barros. Queen Scarlet monitors the current stronghold the Republic set up recently in an attempt to control the planet. Scarlet leaves her office and goes to speak with a certain team. She approaches them and gives them their orders.

“Star Riders. You’re tasked with taking out this stronghold and liberating this planet. Best to stop the Republic from controlling the planet before they get the chance.” Says Queen Scarlet.

“Loud and clear Captain.” Says Valkyrie.

“Sounds pretty straight forward. What do you think Lucian?” Asks Ava.

“It’s as you said. Go in and blow up the stronghold. Easy-peasy, lemon squeezy.” Says Lucian with confidence.

Lucian enters an upgrade Fenrir and prepares to enact the plan. The Star Riders prepare to enter the Planet as the Leviathan enters the Planet’s atmosphere.

“Time to send the Republic packing. Let’s go Fenrir!” Says Lucian, ready to go.

“Don’t have to tell me twice. Let’s rock!” Says Fenrir, ready to take on the Republic and end the war.
