"Begin power on procedure!!"
"Yes Ma'am!!!"
"Power cords connected, fully charged!!"
"Sync engines fully operational!!!"
"Turning on neo reactors!!"
"-WARNING: HIGH CHEMICAL ACTIVITY IN LAUNCH ROOM, APPROACH IN PROTECTIVE CLOTHING-"
"Mecha bots will be activated in...

"-POWER ON... NEO MECHAS FULLY ACTIVATED-"
"-PILOTS ARE IN STANDBY-"
Right then, the lights turned on where we stood. Lykana, Nyuitor and I stood on three different pads in a triangle which seemed to lead towards long tunnels.
"-PREPARE FOR INJECTION-"
"Tch, I can't believe I'm doing this.", Lykana bit her lip. "We aren't even good with mecha suits and now we're gonna pilot huge mecha bots!? These fools want us dead."
"... I'll kill them... once we deal with all this.", Nyuitor threatened.
"Heh! should be a peace of cake with these bots.. but, if we fail synchronization we'll be fried to a crisp.", Lykana held her waists.
"I'm gaining power, no matter what.", Nyuitor's brown eyes expressed more anger than before.
"Silence will do you good... Obedience as well.", I turned my head back slightly.
"Easy for you to say... Your body's been touched so many times that I feel disgusted when I look at you.", Lykana stomped her left foot, toning down her voice, "I am not like you and I don't want to lose my humanity like you did."
"I'm paying for my sins.", I closed my eyes and calmly replied.
"YOU WEIRDO!! That isn't the way!! Your body as a woman's precious!!", Lykana turned away. "If you went through what I did... you'd understand."
Nyuitor folded his arms and closed his eyes," hmph... useless emotions. What's the importance of our bodies in this era?"
"I won't listen to you dumb ass.", Lykana pouted.
"-PROCESS INITIATED, PILOTS ACTIVATE HELMETS-"
*Click*
Our mech suits activated their helmet features. Lykana's angel winged helmet, Nyuitor's ice fang helmet and my snake's eye helmet shielded our faces from the powerful chemical activity in the launch rooms as the pads began to move into them at medium speed.
My fists were clenched out of anxiousness as I entered the room and onto the launch pad.
"This is... but, how!?", looking up I was met with the huge mechanized battle bot. It didn't look like any ordinary bot at all... It's form and appearance were exactly the same as mine with its hair being made entirely of cables. It was as if I was staring at a huge copy of myself.
Just then, it's eyes gleamed.
"What-", a light gasp escaped my mouth.
"-ENTRY PANEL OPEN-"
A door opened on its chest and a flight of stairs came down before me, elevating me into the control hatch after I had taken a step onto it.
"Pilots are in the mech and are ready to take control!!"
"Quick, start the injection file extraction!!"
"Yes Ma'am!!"
The cockpit was actually bigger than I had expected. It was shining with white bright lights and there was a seat which connected to the mecha's brain nerve cells. I sat on it and almost immediately, my legs were inserted into the lower nerve ports on the two sides of the seat. The other two ports where I'd insert my arms opened before me. It looked like some sort of cycle.
"Connecting.", I placed my arms into the ports and red lights began to flash.
"-MERGING ACTIVATED... WAITING FOR INJECTION-"
"Activate injection sequence!!!"
"M-Ma'am!!"
"What is it!?"
"One of the pilots haven't connected yet!!"
"What!?"
"Unit-Yana's Pilot!!"
"Pilot what are you doing!? We have a mission to complete!!"
"I change my mind!!", Lykana shouted from her mech suit's mic. "There's no way I'm merging my body with this... this THING!!!"
"What in the-"
"Hmph! Don't try to convince me! You did it with the mech suit but don't expect me to accept this time!", she pouted.
Just then, the woman's mic screeched. It seemed as if someone else had grabbed the mic.
"LYKANA!! IF YOU DON'T GET YOUR DIRTY ASS CONNECTED TO THAT BOT I'LL GIVE YO FLAT BUTT A GOOD WHOOPING!!! NOW GET ON THE CONTROL SEAT BEFORE I DECORATE YOUR BODY WITH MY WHIP!!!", the familiar, threatening voice brought utter silence. "Here you go."
"T-Thank you... General Senam.", the woman in charge took the mic.
"U-Umm... U-Unit Yana h-has connected."
"Begin injection."
"Hm", I chuckled a bit in my head. Suddenly, nine cable cords appeared from within the mecha bot's walls and it strangely felt as if certain portions of my mecha suit had opened. "... There were entry ports on the suit the whole time?"
*Click* *Click*
The cables begsn to connect themselves. Two of them connected to the sides of my arms, other two on the sides of my thighs, Five of them connected themselves along my spinal cord with the fifth one connecting to the back of my brain.
"That must be all, rig-"
*Click*
The hidden cord beneath me forcefully connected to my chest.
I looked down shocked, "W-When-"
"-STARTING FINAL PROCEDURE-"
Liquid substances began to flow through the connect ports, creating a sharp tingly sensation in my body. The injection messed up my mind, making it go blank.
"-LAUNCH-"
Before I had realized, we had already been transported to three areas that were yet to be hit by the glass.
"Dela, can you hear me?", General Senam appeared on a floating screen before me.
"Y-Yes.", I replied tired.
"Don't worry, you'll just create a field by lifting your hands to hold all the glass. We'll deal with the rest so hang in there.", the screen disappeared.
My breathing got heavy,"U-Understood." I directed my control to the brain of the mecha, trying to raise its hands slowly. The white area switched to the outside cameras showing the large number of glass that were falling over the entire area.
The red shield activated, preventing the glass from falling onto the cities but just then a piece bounced off and headed towards a nearby city.
"Tch!", immediately, the bot kicked it farther away right after I had thought of kicking it. "Am I so much in sync with this thing?"
Two more shields appeared in the distance at two opposite locations, the three shields merged and formed a huge blanket over the entire area.
"Lykana... Nyuitor.", I thought to myself. Another video screen appeared, this time displaying Lykana.
"General's so rude, Dela are-", she stopped the moment she saw me.
"What is it?", my voice suddenly became dark and intimidating.
"Nothing... nevermind.", she looked away.
"Dela! What's happening with your glass!?", Nyuitor's video screen also appeared.
"What do you mean?", I switched the cameras to the shield above my head. "What's this?", I thought to myself.
The glass began to change into visible gas and it wasn't mine only but all of those that were caught by the shield. All of the gas gathered above the DeV co. tower and began to take shape into a creature of some sort.
The monster became clear once it had formed. It was jet black with six legs and huge sharp teeth, it's tail wiped out the entire upper section of the tower once it landed. Without even doing anything else, it started digging into the ground to the neo shard reserve.
"H-Hey guys!! That thing is!!", Lykana let down her shield. Nyuitor and I then did same.
"If air gets to those concentrated shards...", Nyuitor spoke up.
"It'll explode, taking this entire planet with it.", I completed.
Nyuitor blasted towards the site and stood at a distance away from the hole,"If I can create tubes to pump out ice before it reaches the shards, I can force it out and prevent air from entering further."
He slammed his mecha's palms onto the ground, commanding several tubes from its back and into the ground.
...
"Found it. FREEZE!!", the ice pumped into the holes with so much force that the surface began to freeze with a layer of ice.
Almost immediately, the creature jumped out.
"Gotcha!!", Lykana dug her proton and electron blades into the alien once it got into view. "Dela!!", she grounded her mecha and threw the beast in my direction.
"They're... moving so swiftly as if it were all planned.", I stared up at the monster coming in my direction. "Of course, they're the Lykana and Nyuitor I knew since we were kids.", I smirked and burst with speed towards the alien, powerfully jumping and appearing on top of it.
"Heh", my smirk turned into an evil grin as my knee dug into its chest area, bringing it down with full force.
*BOOM!!*
It's black-like blood splattered all over the moment it met the ground.
My chest tingled even more as excitement welled up, "DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE", I kept punching the beast until it turned to nothing but juices.
The next thing I knew, the mecha's mouth opened and ejected a snake-like cord that sucked in the creatures blood, injecting it into my body.
My chest veins popped up, bulging as blood pumped in,"H-Huh?"
The final flame went out after it entered my heart, I screamed in agony as the blood just kept rushing in. My awareness slowly dying.
