'Let us finish this up!'
As the new round begins to unfold, Indigo and Supergirl took their actions elsewhere, while the soldiers took on Indigo's reinforcement.
"Seven tangos incoming! Watch the left flank!" Nick's warning alerted and allowed Sandra and the Grenadier to take notice of the creeping assault to their left.
But before the Grenadier and the Marine could take aim, a hail of leads showered their position, forcing the lieutenant to duck as she pulled the Grenadier with her. "Why didn't you duck?!" Sandra yelled as she looked to the Grenadier for an explanation – to which she received only the sickly null look of the gas mask.
While she wished to lecture the korpsman further, the Grenadier had by then begun to take a stand and take aim. "Suppressive firing!" Alex shouted to sync their cover as the Grenadier had no trouble in eliminating the android on their left-wing.
'Crazy suicidal maniac!'

"Two down!" The Lieutenant spoke over the loud gunfight that continued to go strong. "Got it!" Nick received the information Sandra passed as he, Alex, and the Watchmaster focused on the frontal assault. "Nick!" "Yes, Director!?"
"At my signal – you and the Watchmaster will storm their left, and Sandra and the Grenadier their right. Is that understood, Sandra!?"
"Loud and clear, Director!"
After their orders have been received, it took Alex a moment before she found the perfect timing to initiate their plan. "Now!"
"Moving up!" Nick screamed aloud as he informed, as Sandra mimicked the same, "Moving to position!" the two lieutenants partnered with a korpsmen made their move and allocating to a new position.
In their fixed and stated new location, their angle gave the soldiers a high advantage as the androids were mowed down.
However just as the plan seemed to go smoothly, a certain korpsman; the Grenadier charged at the remaining androids. In preference to an action-bolt rifle mainly used in both world wars, the Grenadier charged with a fixed bayonet.
'Wha- that crazy fool!' Sandra shockingly watched as the Grenadier had hopped over their only cover and began a dashing sprint to the enemy lines. "Covering fire!" Alex shouted the order, and both the lieutenants continued their firing – figuring their surprised reaction at the sight had halted their action.
Meanwhile, the Watchmaster continued on, without a beat missed – as she watched and supported her subordinate.
'Promoting you to Grenadier must have been the God-Emperor's Will, Hylric'
Brutal and vigorous as the Grenadier enact, the korpsman showed no symptoms of exerting as much as a limit on displaying the prowess of a Death Korps Guardsman; as he portrayed just how capable, durable, and effective a korpsman was.

As the final android battled it out with the Grenadier, the korpsman had long discarded the bayonet and opted for the more fashionable and preferred melee tool available to a korpsman – a shovel.
In a swift swoop, he bashed the android's head in as he continued to again and again until it was all caved in.
Speechless; accompanied by the silence that came at the end of the fight, the spectators – Alex, Sandra, and Nick – could only remain quiet as they approached the rough-looking guardsman that had just taken on three androids on close-quarter-combat.
In order to dispel the odd situation that the Grenadier have put them in, Alex distracted them with the order in finding and assisting Supergirl. At which at once the soldiers began to move to the faint sounds of an ongoing battle just around a few blocks.
As the soldiers began to disperse to their newly appointed mission, the Watchmaster passed by the Grenadier, but have offered a whisper – "Good work, Grenadier"
