"Not bad, Big Chap! I didn't know you could carry such a heavy load," said Hammond, looking over his screens.
Big O had taken some of his hip anchors and wrapped himself around Big Duo. They were flying overhead with Big Fau swimming in the sea as they headed toward The Wastes. The MP carrier had Enoch and May and Clarkson keeping alongside Big Fau.
"Now that I guess this happening, I am bit excited after all," said Hammond cheerfully.
"Just don't blow yourself or us up in the process," said Clarkson over the mic.
"I'M NOT GOING TO BLOW MYSELF UP!" yelled Hammond.
"Okay, Captain Crash," snickered James over the mic.
"STOP IT!"
Roger laughed. "Easy there, Rich. It's good fun to relieve nerves."
"At my expense," grumbled Hammond.
"Well, Shortie…" began Beck, wanting to take part in the fun, but was interrupted by Hammond.
"WILL EVERYONE LEAVE ME ALONE!"
"Anyway, ETA is five minutes. Shortie, Griffon, don't forget where you'll be staging. Pops will be landing and beginning the assault with Enoch and the MP mechs."
"Copy that," said everyone and everyone broke their formations to head to their staging points.
Big Duo landed on a salt flat as Big O released his hip anchors.
"Hey, we didn't crash. That was actually one of your better landings, Rich," said Roger, half laughing.
Hammond moaned. "Not you too. The other two wouldn't stop on the way here."
"Well, right now it's just us. But seriously, you're getting better."
Hammond sighed as Big Fau joined them.
"Well, now it's up to Pops, his team, and your friends. You think they're up to it?" asked Beck over the mic.
"Well, if I know Jezza and James, even though Chief Dastun told them to not get carried away, something tells me that they will do that, but only in their fashion," said Hammond.
A loud explosion over a sand dune could be heard and seen, providing a dim glow in the night.
"What was that?" asked Beck.
"James and Jezza being utter morons…" sighed Hammond.
"SPEED AND POWER! BEHOLD MY MIGHTY SWORD AND ITS WRATH!" yelled Clarkson.
Enoch was going to town on the enemy's base, smashing the perfectly aligned mecha units that were ready to go at a moment's notice with his boomerang sword. Only now, they were in pieces. May cackled.
"THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR TRYING TO INVADE OUR WORLD, YOU PILLOCKS!" he yelled.
Enoch kept moving around, smashing everything he found in sight. More fires and explosions erupted all around him, bathing the base in a fiery glow. Dastun, who was watching through his binoculars, sighed and picked up his radio.
"Everyone, just fall back until these two have their fun. They're doing most of the work for us anyway."
Gunfire could be heard now. It was aimed at Enoch, but Beck had reinforced the mecha's armor. Bullets were ricocheting off the mecha as Enoch approached one of the turrets and smashed it, the people manning it fleeing for their lives.
"Easy you two!" yelled Dastun into his radio, "Don't hurt anyone!"
"Wouldn't dream of it," said Clarkson, "Just doing a little remodeling. Oh dear, now this turret isn't adding to the feng shui, now is it?"
"Take it out, Jezza!" yelled May, with a grin.
Clarkson aimed his vulcan cannons on the head of Enoch at the turret and took out the turret.
"This is too easy!"
"Speak for yourself, we got a problem!" yelled Hammond over the mike.
Clarkson and May looked at each other as they heard Roger come across the mike.
"We got a confirm sighting of the Gigadeus and it's got Fau in a bind. Don't waste time! Get that base out of commission and provide back up!" yelled Roger.
Clarkson and May's grins disappeared as they continued taking out the mecha units at the New World Order's base.
The Gigadeus had emerged from the ground, undetected by the Bigs' radars, catching them off guard. It then had set it sights on the closest Big, which happened to be Big Fau.
"GET OFF OF ME, YOU BASTARD!" roared Beck.
Big Fau was struggling against the Gigadeus. One of its heads had detached itself into a snake-like form, wrapping Big Fau's arm tight. It was trying to pull it off. Beck's console was beeping erratically.
"Beck! If you don't do something soon, Big Fau's arm won't be able to hold on much longer!" yelled Yumi across the mike.
"I know that!"
Big Duo came charging in, lifting its left arm high, its propeller whirring around. He then smashed the propeller onto the snake-like body of the head, trying to cut it.
"This looked a lot harder than I anticipated!" yelled Hammond.
"It's a battle, you moron! Nothing is ever that easy!"
A bright flash of pink light and then an explosion was heard. As the smoke cleared, the head fell off Big Fau's arm as the Gigadeus took a step back. Big O had fired an Arc Line blast and was now joining the other two.
"Rich! Get into the air! That's where your advantage lies. Provide us cover/divisionary fire while we fight on the ground!" commanded Roger.
Hammond didn't hesitate and pushed the foot pedals down, getting Big Duo into the air. Big O and Big Fau remained, staring down the Gigadeus.
"Roger! I'm getting growing energy readings from that megadeus! Watch yourself!" yelled Dorothy over the mic.
Roger grimaced as Big O and Big Fau took a couple steps back. However, there was another explosion, followed by another. Big Duo had straightened himself up, hovering in the air, and was firing a volley of missile fire onto the Gigadeus.
"I'm not losing to you!" yelled Hammond, "Not for a second time! We're ending this today!"
Roger grinned as he lined his crosshairs, preparing an Arc Line attack. Beck smirked as he prepared to fire missiles from Big Fau's head.
"Way to go, Shortie! Keep it up!"
"STOP! CALLING! ME! SHORTIE!"
It was pandemonium back at the base. The MP mecha units had now moved in, trying to quell the chaos. Those who belonged to the New World Order were either surrendering or fleeing. Many had given up fighting, in part thanks to Enoch causing chaos. Enoch was approaching the main area of the base and stopped.
"Clarkson, hold on. I'm getting large energy readings from this area. And… blimey! It's matching the readings Mrs. Beck loaded from the portal! But… they're much hotter than before…."
Clarkson looked over May's shoulder and saw the readings for himself as Yumi came across the mike.
"It has to be on! You two, be careful, we're not sure what that thing is capable of…"
Clarkson scowled. "I've had enough this…"
He began moving Enoch forward towards the main area and in the direction of the portal.
"Clarkson! What the hell are you doing?" yelled May.
"Putting an end to this madness!"
Clarkson drove the joy con forward, and as he did, the sword in Enoch's hands came swinging down onto the main building. Dust and debris were now going up into the air as Dastun yelled over the mic.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?!"
"Stopping them from entering our world or possibly another!" Clarkson yelled back.
May scanned the area again, and while he did find the area still hot, he saw the temperature was going down. Clarkson had succeeded in destroying the enemy's portal.
"Mate… we were told during the briefing not to destroy anything or get carried away…" said May, turning to look at Clarkson.
"I asked Roger for this reprieve, and he understood. The fact of the matter is, it was on. I had to do something," said Clarkson, still looking at the center console ahead of him, "I know they told us they wanted to study it, but even Beck agreed. If it got destroyed in the process, it wouldn't be a loss. Besides, they didn't even had calibrated correctly, May. If we had tried to use their portal to go home, we probably would've fallen out of the sky."
"Good point."
"Blast it! You gangly mecha!" yelled Hammond over the mic.
"It's sounds like Hammond and our friends need our help," said May.
Clarkson nodded. "Chief Dastun, sir! We're done here, I think. We're going to assist the other chaps with their fight, if that's okay…"
The Enoch unit took off, leaving Dastun bewildered with the mess they were leaving behind.
"As if I could do anything to stop them…" he muttered, scratching his head in disbelief at the mess they had made and were leaving behind with Dastun to clean up.
Big Duo had got too close in the fight and was now caught up in one of the Gigadeus' heads. Big Duo was on the ground struggling while Big Fau had its saw cuff going, trying to free him. Big O was engaged in hand-to-hand combat, swinging punches into its center, but they were not leaving dents this time.
"Damn it," growled Roger, "Beck! How much longer?"
"I'm doing my best Crow Boy! This cord they're using is strong. You moron! Why did you get so close?!"
"I was trying to help!" yelled Hammond.
"Roger! The Enoch unit is heading your way. Just hang on until they get there!" said Dastun over the mic.
"Thanks!" yelled Roger back, as he drew the joy con back, then pushed it forward. Big O's left arm found its center and Roger pressed the switch on top of the joy con.
The piston fired back, then forward, pushing the Gigadeus back. A dent had been left in its armor, but not as deep as the first time when Big O had faced off against it in the harbor.
"Tch! Damn it!" roared Roger.
Big Fau finally freed Big Duo. As Big Duo got to its feet, the Gigadeus turned its attention onto them.
"Big Fau! ELECTRIC SMASH!" yelled Beck.
Big Fau, with a wave of its big hand, deployed its invisible field, lines of electricity crackling through it as the Gigadeus fired an Arc Line beam straight at them, bouncing off the shield. Big Duo began to charge forward, but Big Fau got in his way.
"NO! How many times do we have to tell you? FIGHT TO YOUR DAMN STRENGTH! GET IN THE AIR, NOW!" roared Beck.
"You need help!" Hammond yelled back.
"Rich! There's no time to argue! He's protecting you! NOW GO!" yelled Roger.
Hammond moved the foot pedals down and Big Duo slowly began to ascend into the air, finally taking off, out of reach of the enemy's line of fire. Meanwhile, Big O was preparing a Chromebuster.
"On the count of three, Beck! Move outta the way!" yelled Roger.
Beck was struggling with the joy cons, as the Gigadeus pushed forward. Big Fau was slowly moving back, unable to stop the Gigadeus' advancement.
"1…. 2….. 3!" bellowed Roger.
Big Fau moved out of the way as Big O fired a Chromebuster at the Gigadeus. The bright pink of plasma flew through the air and found its target. However, the Gigadeus caught the beam, being pushed back by the beam's force.
"What the hell is thing made of?" Roger grumbled.
"Roger! Watch out! He caught the beam, and it looks like he's about to throw it back to you!" Dorothy's voice came over the mic, terrified.
As the plasma faded away and Roger adjusted his eyesight, Roger saw what Dorothy was talking about. In the palm of the Gigadeus' hand, was the energy from the Chromebuster, now being merged with the Gigadeus' own energy. Big O took a step back.
"Damn it…" muttered Roger.
The Gigadeus took a step forward and threw the energy back in Big O's direction. Roger barely had time to bring up Big O's guard and braced himself for impact. The energy collided into Big O's arm shields, sending Big O flying back and down onto his back. A large cloud of dust and sand went up into the air, covering the battlefield.
"ROGER!" Dorothy yelled.
"SMITH! GET UP!" Beck yelled, trying to place Big Fau and himself between Big O and the Gigadeus.
Big Duo was circling around.
"Big Chap, this isn't good! Give that guy a dose of your machine gun fire! Buy some time!" Hammond yelled, worried.
Big Duo obliged and began to descend, firing upon the Gigadeus. As Big Duo pulled up and circled again, Big Fau bent on one knee, offering his hand to Big O to help him.
"You alright?" Beck said, noting the damage on Big O.
"It's Level 3. Nothing major, aside from a damn headache from all the alarms. Energy weapons are off the table. It's physical ammo or close combat," grumbled Roger, rubbing his head as he shut the alarms off.
"Damn it, this puts us in a bind, Crow Boy. If we can't use any energy attacks…"
"Beck, we can't have a stray attack hit the cities. He amplified it with his own energy. But we can damage him with physical attacks. It's just trying to get in close enough to do so. Rich! Ammo count! How many missiles and ammo you got left?"
"Not many on the missiles. I kinda got carried away earlier and I'm about halfway out on my ammo for my main guns!" replied Hammond.
"I don't have much left myself, Crow Boy. I got a few missiles left and that's about it. All I have are the main chest and back cannons, but seeing as those are energy weapons…"
"We can't use 'em…" Roger growled.
Roger grimaced. He still had Big O's Missile Party left, but it was a one-shot ordeal. He also had the hip anchors as well, but he had not used them, afraid of Hammond getting caught in the chain and dragging him down.
"Crow Boy, we need a plan and fast…" Beck began, but Roger cut him off.
"Damn it, I know! I know!"
The Enoch unit was running across the sand dunes with some difficulty. The horizon was starting to get lighter as daybreak was now approaching.
"Come on, Enoch! You can do it!" Clarkson yelled, encouraging the mecha.
"Bloody sand is worse than ice. He's trying to get over, but can't gain any traction," said May.
"Then give it more power, May!"
"If I do that, then we'll sink, you muppet! We need something to brace ourselves with..."
Clarkson thought long and hard, then an idea came to him.
"I've just had an idea."
"Oh God," moaned May, "Please anything but that…"
Clarkson maneuvered the controls, and as he did so, Enoch pulled out his boomerang sword and stuck it into the sand dune, using it as a brace. Enoch pulled himself up, gaining more traction than before.
"Huh… that's a good idea," said May, dumbfounded.
"Sometimes, my genius," said Clarkson, with a dramatic pause, "generates gravity."
"Dorothy! They're running out of ammo. There has to be something we can do on our end to help them!"
Yumi was keeping an eye on the ammo count of Big Fau. On top of hearing their chatter, the battle was starting to turn from a stalemate, into the Gigadeus' favor. Dorothy was shaking her head as no ideas were coming to her.
"If this keeps up, close range combat will be unavoidable. The Gigadeus hasn't been doing much because it's stalling for time. Norman, isn't there anything else in the arsenal of the Bigs that's nonenergy?"
Norman shook his head.
"I'm afraid not, Mistress Dorothy. Once Big O uses his Missile Party attack, and Big Duo and Big Fau deplete their ammo, it'll be down to a battle of will and wits."
Dorothy turned back and looked at the screen, studying where the Enoch unit was.
"James and Jeremy are not that far off. And they still have a decent ammo count, and they have that sword of theirs. Hopefully that'll be enough to turn the tide of the fight."
Yumi nodded at her as she turned back to Big Fau's screen to keep an eye on the megadeus' stats. Dorothy on the other hand, glared at the Gigadeus that was on her screen.
We're not going to lose this fight!
"BLOODY HELL, WHAT IS THIS THING MADE OF?"
Big Duo completed another attack run, but the Gigadeus had guarded against it. Hammond was getting frustrated.
"I keep scratching the damn thing! Nothing's working!"
"Keep calm, Shortie! Every little bit counts!" said Beck, firing the last of his missiles at the Gigadeus.
The smoke cleared and the Gigadeus, while appearing scratched, was still moving rather well and closing in on Big O and Big Fau.
"I'm out, Crow Boy!"
"ENOUGH!" cried out Roger, and he slammed the lid open to the Missile Party housing and hit all the buttons. Big O's midsection opened up and began raining machine gun and missile fire onto the Gigadeus, covering it a large plume of black smoke, but then it emerged, covered in black soot.
"I'm out too, Beck. Damn it!"
Big O then charged, along with Big Fau. Both megadeuses drew their arms back, Big O firing his pistons, Big Fau gearing up his saw cuffs. Big Fau attacked first, punching dead center, trying to push through.
"Come on!" cried out Beck.
"Move it, Beck!" roared Roger.
Big Fau abandoned his attack and Big O came in with a double Sudden Impact, both punches landing dead center. The pistons fired and pushed back the Gigadeus, leaving dents in his armor, but the punches didn't go all the way through. But then the Gigadeus, with its hand glowing, made contact with Big O. Big O was hit with such force, that it sent him flying back and down into the ground. Big O was covered in a green crackling energy, immobilized, and Roger could be heard crying out in pain in the cockpit.
"Beck! What's wrong Big O and Roger?" Dorothy's voice came across the comm, alarmed, but Roger answered the best he could.
"Some kind… of shock… attack…!" he managed to get out before yelling in pain again.
Big Fau ran over to Big O, and his arm glowed with a blue crackle of electricity. Big Fau brought his arm down hard, a loud clang could be heard as a blue light of electricity flashed and nullified the energy. Roger took a moment to catch his breath.
"Don't… let that thing… touch you," Roger said, "That was draining."
"Then learn to dodge," said Beck, sarcastically, but he too was also worried. "Crow Boy, if that's his close range attack, I don't think we can touch him. And I took a gamble with Electric Smash to nullify it. But my attack can also damage you and the Big Guy. We can't chance that any more than we have to!"
"Damn it, this is getting more difficult the longer we draw this out! Rich! How much ammo you have left?" Roger called out over the comm.
"I have enough for maybe one more run and then I have the high yield missiles in the Big Chap's legs," Hammond replied, circling Big Duo in the air.
Beck shook his head. "We can't use those, unless we lured the Gigadeus further into The Wastes! And with these sand dunes, walking will be hard enough, let alone running. And there's a chance he won't take the bait."
"So, then… what do we do?"
Roger was on the verge of answering when familiar voices came across the comm.
"How about we send that thing straight to hell?!" yelled Clarkson.
"May! Clarkson!" yelled Hammond, relieved.
Enoch was standing atop a sand dune, looking down below at the battlefield. The mech was directly positioned above the Gigadeus, who had his attention focused on Big O and Big Fau.
"Jeremy, whatever you have planned, do it now while that thing is distracted!" yelled May.
Enoch then slid down the sand dune, his boomerang sword held high. Roger and Beck realized what the duo were doing and charged forward in Big O and Big Fau. Big O skid to a halt and fired two hip anchors. The chains soared through air rapidly, weaving all around until they found their target, and began wrapping the Gigadeus tightly. Big Fau continued his charge, winding up his saw cuffs on both of his fists. As Big O grabbed on to the chains to steady Gigadeus, Big Fau landed two punches, one after another, stunning the Gigadeus, then moved back quickly to give itself distance.
Enoch finally reached the ground and closed in on the Gigadeus, as the boomerang sword began to glow.
"INDESTRUCTIBLE HILUX!" yelled May and Clarkson simultaneously.
Enoch's eyes flashed, and with a huge spurt of speed, rushed into the Gigadeus. The boomerang sword, glowing orange, twirled wildly in a helix movement, then came swinging downward, making contact with the Gigadeus, causing the Gigadeus to step and lean forward from the impact of the attack. The attack was a success. While it had sliced through the hip anchor chains of Big O, it had slashed through the armor and was now exposing the interior of the Gigadeus. Roger realized this was their chance to attack.
"Rich! Come in for attack run! James, Jeremy, keep attacking! Beck…!"
"I know what to do, Crow Boy!"
They all launched a group counterattack. Big Duo came in, firing machine gun fire from above before circling around again. Big Fau landing two more punches with his saw cuffs, then moved out of the way. Big O closed in the distance, firing two Sudden Impacts of his own, knocking back the Gigadeus and stunning it. Enoch then slashed with his sword at the Gigadeus, knocking it off steady even more. Enoch moved back to give himself distance. Holstering the sword, May locked on to the Gigadeus.
"WHY DON'T YOU SOD OFF!" he yelled as he locked onto the Gigadeus.
Enoch fired a bunch of mini missiles. Their aim was true and they all found their target. They exploded on contact, encasing the Gigadeus in smoke.
"YESSSS!" cried out May and Clarkson and they began moving in.
"Hold on!" Roger called out over the mic, but he didn't finish. A bright green light flashed out from the smoke and hit Big O and Big Fau, immobilizing them. Beck and Roger cried out in pain, feeling the effects of the attack in the cockpit.
"Oh no!" Hammond yelled.
Now they were in trouble. The smoke cleared and Hammond could see that the Gigadeus, while damaged, was still ready to fight. Down two fighters of their own, it was just Enoch on the ground and Big Duo in the air. And before Hammond could talk to his colleagues to formulate a plan, he saw the Gigadeus turn his attention onto Enoch. It braced one of its three legs, and leapt into the air, closing in on Enoch, with a fist of green energy.
"DON'T LET IT TOUCH YOU!" yelled Hammond.
Clarkson barely had time to react in the mech. Enoch grabbed his sword. As the sword went into a defensive position, it began to glow once more. The Gigadeus landed in front of them and brought its fist downward, crashing into the sword, causing a bright light to emit from the impact. Clarkson and May held on.
"Something about the Hilux is nullifying that energy, but we have a problem, Clarkson! We're losing power! That thing is bearing down on us and giving us everything he's got. We won't last much longer if you keep this up!" May yelled, typing frantically at the controls to pull power from elsewhere into the arms.
"Christ on a bike! If it's not one thing, it's another!" yelled Clarkson, frustrated.
"Jason!"
While this was happening on the battlefield, Yumi, Dorothy, and Norman were working frantically to stop the attack on Big O and Big Fau. The electric shocks were causing the power systems to go haywire and pilot synchronization was dropping, as well as their vitals. Yumi was beside herself, typing frantically on her console.
"Damn it! Big Fau! Please! Please help him!"
Dorothy was typing frantically on her console as well, while Norman kept an eye on Big Duo's console.
"Why isn't there anything we can use? Roger! Don't you dare pass out on me! Stay focused!"
As Yumi and Dorothy were working frantically to save their husbands, a voice came from Big Duo's console. It was Hammond's.
"NO, BIG CHAP! I'M NOT USING IT!"
Norman realized what Hammond was yelling about. Big Duo had sent the signal to activate its Megaton Missile attack.
"We'll wipe everyone out! We can't!"
Dorothy looked at Norman with a fearful look in her eyes. "Norman! Whatever happens…"
"I'm trying to stop it, Mistress Dorothy, but Big Duo has locked me out… wait a moment…"
Just as quickly as the attack signal surfaced on the console, it disappeared. The console controls, which had been locked by Big Duo, were now released.
"Well, isn't that peculiar," whispered Norman, relieved the attack had been canceled.
Around the same time, Big Fau's console showed an attack to Yumi. Yumi studied it for a moment then realized what it was.
"It's the Electric Smash, as a field? Fine, DO IT BIG FAU!"
Yumi executed the command. The yelling over the comm was then silent. Yumi was fearful, then heard Beck breathing hard, recovering from the attack.
"I dunno… what you did… but thanks Yumi…" said Beck's voice, sounding tired.
"BECK! ROGER PLEASE!" Dorothy yelled, frantic.
Roger's vitals were now dipping dangerously into lower levels. There was a commotion on the line as Dorothy gripped the console tightly and then a loud clang. Then… silence. Beck had deployed an Electric Smash punch to disrupt the energy on Big O. The attack was a success as the power systems were starting to return to normal. And then, much to Dorothy's relief, she heard Roger over the mike.
"Took… you… long enough," he managed to get out, groaning.
"Save it, Crow Boy! I saved your neck twice…"
Yumi and Dorothy didn't care that their husbands were arguing. They were just happy to hear them alive and okay. But their celebration was short lived, as Norman was calling into the console.
"Mr. Hammond! I beg you to reconsider!"
Yumi and Dorothy looked at each other and then at the radar, finally seeing what Hammond and Big Duo were about to do.
Enoch's knees began to give way and the Gigadeus forced Enoch down to one knee. However, he was still holding on, though the sword began to move back.
"Damn it!" roared Clarkson, "May, I need more power!"
"I'm doing the best I can!"
As May and Clarkson braced themselves, they heard a yell over the comm link that startled them.
"OI! YOU GREAT GANGLY FUCK-KNUCKLED TWAT!"
Hammond had finally had enough with the fight. Drawing the joy cons, he maneuvered Big Duo into the attack position that Roger and himself had been practicing all week.
"LEAVE! MY! MATES! ALONE!" he yelled and moved the joy cons back for an attack.
Big Duo's right propeller had now turned into a fist as he came bearing down onto the Gigadeus. Gliding downward, Big Duo rushed his right arm forward, the fist making contact with the center head on Gigadeus, a large soundwave emitting from the impact.
"LET ME GIVE YOU A TASTE OF MY SPECIALTY! TAKE THIS! HAMMOND'S! CRASH! COURSE!" Hammond roared.
Big Duo forced the Gigadeus off of Enoch and into the sand flat. A large plume of sand and dust went into the air as Big O and Big Fau, who were running to help Enoch, stopped just short of the crashing megadeuses.
"HAMMMMOONNNND!" yelled Clarkson, worried about his friend.
There was dust and sand everywhere, making it hard to see. Roger ran scans inside Big O, but kept getting errors displayed on the screen.
"Damn it, Rich… what the hell were you thinking?" said Roger, gritting his teeth.
The silence was painful and seemed to tick on forever. Then everyone heard a voice that made them sigh with relief.
"Wot? You gents missed me?"
Big Duo took off into the air, rapidly gaining altitude. Roger grinned seeing them soar high in the sky as Clarkson and May felt the weight off their chests disappear.
"You moron! Don't worry us like that!" yelled May.
"And for the record, that's a stupid attack name!" yelled Clarkson.
"But it worked! Roger, Big Duo and I did it!"
The blow Big Duo had delivered seemed to have slowed the Gigadeus down and it was no longer glowing. Roger and Beck, being the more seasoned of the fighters, realized this. Roger was laughing.
"Yeah, you two did. But now, let's finish this! Beck, you're with my clients. Rich, you're with me. IT'S SHOW TIME FOLKS, LET'S GO!"
Big O's, Big Duo's, Big Fau's, and Enoch's eyes all flashed at this statement. Enoch stood with Big Fau as he glowed blue with electricity.
"When I give the signal, you two go!" Beck yelled, "Big Fau! ELECTRIC SMASH!"
Big Fau charged toward the Gigadeus. The Gigadeus tried to attack them, but Big Fau released his energy, stunning the Gigadeus. The blue crackling electricity held the Gigadeus as it struggled against the power coursing through its body.
"Go!" yelled Beck.
Enoch rushed forward, with boomerang sword in hand.
"Clarkson! This is on you! Do it!" cried out May.
"HAMMERHEAD EAGLE SLASH!" cried out Clarkson and moved the joy cons into position. As he did so, Enoch rushed forward, charging into the Gigadeus with his boomerang sword, then turned around. As Enoch turned, the sword slashed upward, making another deep gash into armor and exposing the innards of the robot.
Roger seized his chance as Dorothy came over the comm. "Roger! Big O's ready to go! DO IT!"
"FINAL THUNDER!" roared Roger and moved the black and red joy cons forward, now transformed into the O Thunder modules.
As Big O's arms came up, Enoch and Big Fau got out of the way as rapid fire of pink plasma rays found their mark and crashed into the Gigadeus. A double pink circle soon followed, followed by a loud explosion. Smoke covered the battlefield, engulfing the Gigadeus. Everyone held their breath for a moment until Hammond came across the comm.
"It's still standing! Even after all that?"
May smirked. "Not to worry! We got something for that too! HERE'S THE GRAND TOUR SPECIAL!"
May executed a couple of quick commands on the console. As he did so, Clarkson began moving the robot around quickly. The Gigadeus had locked onto them and sent a barrage of missiles straight at them, but then Enoch quickly transformed, opening all of its housing units for its missiles, machine guns, and vulcan cannons. The end result was firepower meeting in midair, crashing into another. But some of Enoch's fire found its way to the Gigadeus and immobilized it. The Gigadeus was now crackling with energy as Hammond surveyed the battle from above in Big Duo. He was out of machine gun fire from the last run he had made. But then an idea occurred to him.
"James! Jezza!" Hammond called out into the mic, "Throw me Enoch's boomerang!"
"Wot for?" May asked.
"You guys are losing power, but the Big Chap and I still have enough strength. And that sword of yours with its energy is the only thing that's been able to cut through it! If I can time the attack right, then…"
Roger realized Hammond's idea. "It's good! It'll work! I can finish it off with Big O! Beck! Do you enough energy for one more Electric Smash?"
"Sure, why not? Let's redline my Big Guy today!" replied Beck sarcastically. Roger smirked.
"Alright! James! Jeremy! It's all up to you! Time it right with Rich! LET'S GO!"
Big Fau began glowing with energy as Beck tried to pull energy from everywhere he could spare. James began lining up the shot with the boomerang sword. Roger moved the joy cons back, getting Big O in position as Hammond circled around in Big Duo, preparing himself for the final assault.
"NOW!" yelled Roger.
Big Fau charged forward, closing the gap between him and the Gigadeus. When he got close enough, Beck flipped the switches on the tops of his joy cons.
"ELECTRIC SMASH!"
Big Fau crackled with blue lightning and energy shot forth from it, launching forward into the Gigadeus, stunning and immobilizing it once more. The Gigadeus prepared a counter attack and tried to punch Big Fau, but an orange laser beam fired from behind Big Fau and hit the Gigadeus' arm, giving Big Fau time to retreat. As Beck turned around to see what happened, Clarkson came across the comm.
"THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR BRINGING US INTO THIS WORLD YOU MORON!"
May finished lining up the shot as Hammond began closing in with Big Duo.
"Clarkson! Throw it now!" yelled May.
Clarkson moved the joy cons forward and threw the boomerang into the direction May had indicated on screen. He watched it soar high into the sky.
"HAMMOND! IT'S HEADING YOUR WAY!" yelled Clarkson.
Big Duo fired up the afterburners and closed the distance. Roger realized what was happening and began running with Big O, to close the gap between him and the Gigadeus. Hammond, however, had his sights on one goal: reaching the boomerang sword in time. As he pictured Big Duo catching it, he heard a loud clang.
Big Duo straightened up, holding the sword in hand, now glowing orange. Big Duo came gliding downward, holding it up high, the distance getting smaller between him and the Gigadeus, as the first rays of sunlight peaked over the sand dune behind Big Duo.
"LET'S GO BIG CHAP! FINISHING MOVE! DRIIIVVVVINNNNGG GOD!"
Big Duo brought sword downward, slashing with all of his might into the Gigadeus as he landed on the salt flat. Big Duo skidded to a halt, looking at the damage he and Hammond had caused. The head had nearly been cut off, but the center was almost exposed. Hammond wasted no time, seeing Big O charging in. Big Duo charged back once more, sword held up high and slashed again, this time cutting all the way through as he moved out of the way, giving space to Big O, who was readying his final attack.
"Finish him off, Roger! Big Chap! DO IT NOW!" roared Hammond.
Roger slammed the joy cons forward, and as he did so, Big O's eyes flashed once more, charging ahead, the Sudden Impact firing back as the arm slammed into the center of the Gigadeus.
"THIS ENDS IT ONCE AND FOR ALL!" cried out Roger and he pushed the button on the top of the joy con.
The piston fired forward and a large fireball explosion fired through the Gigadeus, smashing it to pieces. The remains of the robot fell down into the desert salt flat, then a few more explosions followed, encasing the area in smoke. Then, all fell quiet.
The smoke took some time to clear, but once it did, Big O and Big Duo were standing victoriously. Big Duo, holding Enoch's boomerang sword up to the sky, Big O raising his fist in victory. Big Fau raised its fist in the air in solidarity with the Bigs as did Enoch, amongst the cheering of the pilots. The loudest of course being Beck.
"YEEEAAAHHH! WE DID IT BOYS! BWA HA HA HA HA!" cackled Beck, as he clapped his feet in joy.
Big Fau walked over toward Big O as did Enoch. The sky was now growing lighter by the minute with very few clouds in the sky. The cockpits opened and the pilots stepped out and into Big O's cockpit, who had opened up the glass doors. Roger climbed out of the pilot seat. Roger and Beck then took their helmets off as May and Clarkson looked at them curiously.
"Nah nah nah… take your helmets off before you jinx us. Smash them together! This victory is ours!" yelled Beck.
May shrugged at Clarkson, but they both grinned as they all touched their helmets together. Beck fished out a cigar from the inside of his pilot suit as he looked at the duo standing before them.
"Not bad. Not bad at all. I like your attack names. Different, but they're good. I'm gonna keep this unit the way it is and the attacks, if you don't mind," said Beck, prepping and lighting his cigar.
Clarkson grinned. "That sir, is the best compliment you have given us."
"'Grand Tour Special,' huh? Come to think of it, isn't that the name of your show?"
"I can't take credit for that one. That's all May there," and Clarkson pointed at May, who grinned.
"I believe, as you like to say, I was a genius?"
Clarkson shook his head as Roger and Beck chuckled. "Don't get too cocky, May."
Roger then turned to look upward at Big Duo. Hammond had finally opened the cockpit and was standing outside, enjoying the sunlight and breeze, having taken his helmet off. Beck blew out of a puff of smoke.
"Well, I found a name for your friend," he said to Clarkson and May.
"Oh?" asked Clarkson, "What is it?"
"'Driving God.'"
"Oh God, no," moaned May and Roger chuckled.
"What's so bad about that one?" asked Roger, grinning.
"Please don't inflate his ego anymore. He's never going to stop talking about the time he piloted a giant robot and saved the world," groaned Clarkson.
"Or how he came up with the genius plan to finish that Gigadeus thing off…" sighed May.
But Beck ignored them both, walking over to where Roger was.
"OI! SHORTIE!" he yelled at Hammond.
Hammond turned to look at his friends below, infuriated with Beck.
"THAT IS IT! I'VE HAD IT WITH YOU CALLING ME SHORTIE YOU LITTLE…"
"HOW ABOUT I CALL YOU DRIVING GOD INSTEAD?" Beck interrupted Hammond in midrant.
The name caused Hammond to stop ranting, blinking. He was mildly surprised by this suggestion. His confusion then turned to joy as laughed out loud.
"HA! THAT'LL DO JUST FINE! I AM A MIGHTY DRIVING GOD!"
Big Duo's eyes flashed at his remark, and Hammond smiled at him, while his friends laughed below at his remark. Hammond climbed and joined the others inside Big O, taking off his helmet and placing it in the center with the others.
