Chapter 11 - The First Opposition

Jaus swiped up his device and cast the video onto the huge TV in the room.

" Make sure you pay attention John"

" Ok''

VOOOM VOOM VOOM

The Mechas closed in on their target, they were up to a few dozens divided into two groups. There were the large ones, these had frames slightly smaller than that of trailers and were equipped with power and great destructive force, the others were fitting to an average man and were smaller than the other model, these were built for agility and had a fair amount of destructive power, aside from the difference in size these bots were tagged with different colors as the huge ones had the color black with shades of blue while the small ones were colored white with glowing bright blue lights shining through some parts of their body. These large chunks of metals brimming with energy were equipped with high-speed instruments built for fast flight and projection, they put this ability to great use as they quickly zoomed surrounding the Mulkers unit.

A complete Mulker unit consists of two pilots and three others tasked with invasion into small nature communities with the intent of capturing samples. The five Mulkers were immediately notified that something approached them and it wasn't a friend.

Thhwwww Thhhwwwwww Thhwwwwww

Projectiles were shot continuously from different angles to the aircraft.

'' Those dumb animals!" One of the Mulker pilots said as he switched on the ship's auto defense system, immediately after pushing the appropriate buttons a blue transparent giant ball resembling a round honeycomb sprouted up. They had put on a shield to protect themselves from the explosive power of the missiles.

Unfortunately, that didn't stop the mechs as they continued to launch barrages of attacks on their foe.

" The Shield won't hold for long" one said.

" We should get out of here"

"No! I refuse to be driven away by those pests. How do you think others will react if they learned that we turned tails and ran, I refuse to stand for it. I say we push forward and take them down!" A hot-headed one amongst them said, his speech had gotten them psyched up and they prepared to attack.

" To think that we are pushed this back by such inferior beings," One said in anger and bashed his fist.

"How can those small ones keep up with our flight speed," One said in disbelief

" They got a lot more tenacity than we thought"

" Our shield strength is down to ten percent, we are switching to the offensive now"

" Just what I was waiting for" the hot-headed one grinned.

Turning off the shield, the aircraft slanted moving it from its previous fleeing position to directly facing the enemy.

" They want to engage us as well," A Mech with a distinctive design said. This one had a more flashy design and possessed both high speed and power, it was smaller than those with high destructive power but still bigger than those oriented for agility. It was clad in red and had a pair of lightsabers placed at its side dormant.

" Fire!" It shouted as it instructed its followers to continue their assault.

" Don't give them the chance to strike back!"

3 2 1... INVISIBILITY ACTIVATED

The ship had gone invisible a certain amount of time was needed to gather energy to use this certain ability and they had achieved it.

" What," The red-clad leader said in disbelief.

" They became invisible! Be careful you all and do not break formation"

THHHWWW THHWWW

The Mulkers shot their own set of laser beams to the mechs. These blasts went so fast and were so precise that the mecha team lost one-quarter of their team. Only those oriented for agility could manage to evade these beams, the huge ones couldn't and many were destroyed.

" We'll lose completely if we collect three more of those hits," The red-clad metal warrior said.

" We have to do whatever it takes to be victorious today"

The laser attacks had crippled the formation of the group and many of them were confused with how to deal with this unseen foe.

" Don't fear Men, prepare to evade the upcoming attack'' the leader said

PEWW PEWWWW

Another shot of this blast came flying through towards the group and then BOOOOMMM. Just like earlier many couldn't escape the attack but a lot more managed to evade compared to the previous strike, it was all thanks to their leader's fortitude and quick thinking that they were able to stand their ground currently.

" There they are" he shouted as he had discerned the Mulker's aircraft position as they let out that attack.

" Follow me" he shouted as he charged forward shooting out laser blasts from his arms encouraging others to do so as well.

BOOM BOOM BOOM

Small explosions occurred in mid-air and the group was notified that the Mulkers were at that point but it was too late, before they could inflict permanent damage, the Mulkers ship had moved away from its previous position and then again let out that agape attack.

BOOOOOOMMMM

The group suffered another huge blow, they were down to just a dozen and a little more. Seeing the overwhelming change of tide in the battle, the Mulkers felt confident and paused their attacks. They spoke thus " if you all surrender now, we'll spare your lives. Of course, will don't set on letting you go, we'll capture you all and place you in containers where you'll spend the rest of your lives working for our prosperity. It isn't a bad offer, think of it this way. You'll get fed regularly and you wouldn't need to worry about shelter or safety, All you need to do is to just stay alive as we exploit you mercilessly!"

" We wouldn't settle for that, it's either we win or we win. We wouldn't give up and lose either" the red-clad Mecha replied, although they couldn't point where the voice was coming from.

" Too bad"

The Mulkers dropped their ridiculous offer and proceeded to use their signature attack once more.

" Let's spare that red one and take him on, he seems fun to fight with" the hot-headed Muller spoke again.

" Sounds like a good idea, let's do it" with that the group had chosen to only spare the red one so that he may serve as their plaything to while away time.

Their attacks had connected and smoke enveloped the air with broken parts of robots raining down below. Amidst this horrifying situation, there stood the red-clad leader still hovering with damages at various parts of its body, he had just led his men to suicide.

How does he intend to take responsibility?
