As Joseph laid eyes on the mysterious mech, a sense of familiarity washed over him. The scarlet-colored mech reminded him of Scarlett's, but with a distinct design. Unable to contain his surprise, he exclaimed, "Scarlett? Is that you?"
Scarlett calm and affirmative voice responded, "Yes, dear, it's me."
Before the Silver Prism team could fully process Scarlett's presence, a Black Hound unit launched an attack towards her. In response, a precise rifle shot resonated from a distance, catching the assailant off guard.
Joseph, recognizing the source of the shot, exclaimed, "That noise?! William?!"
BEOWULF, with a powerful leap, descended from the heights and landed beside Scarlett's mech. William's voice resonated over the comm link, "Looks like we've got the fearsome Black Hounds."
As the BEOWULF's rifle turned to face the enemy, its metallic claw extended menacingly. William continued, "Scarlett Marsh and I have got your back, and hopefully, you've got something for us too."
BEOWULF initiated its first move, lunging towards Stein with its claw poised for a strike. However, Stein skillfully managed to block BEOWULF's attack, showcasing an unexpected level of agility.
Hassan, witnessing this, expressed surprise, "He's fast! Huh, it doesn't matter; I still have my prey." Pushing forward with his mech maneuver gear, Hassan continued his relentless assault toward GENESIS. "Oh, GENESIS, you know how long I've waited for this moment—the urge to end you."
The battle intensified, emotions running high as the longstanding grudges and conflicts came to the forefront, shaping the ebb and flow of the fierce engagement.
Scarlett decided to join Joseph against Hassan, unleashing her mech's sword in a strike. However, Hassan's mech adeptly blocked it with its shield. Joseph's voice resonated in Scarlett's cockpit, "Don't worry about me; you should protect Mr. President."
Scarlett replied confidently, "Don't worry, about that, Erina!"
Joseph, surprised, questioned, "Erina is here too?"
As Aycali prepared to attack the President's transport, Erina's new mech, from a distance, shot at Aycali's left arm, disrupting the attack. Hassan, frustrated, exclaimed, "Aycali?! Damn it! There's still another one!?"
Hassan, determined to locate the sniper disrupting their plans, urged Aycali, "Aycali, can you find out where the sniper is?"
Aycali replied, "I'll do my best to locate them."
Hassan, with his maniacal laughter, continued, "Well then, shall we continue, GENESIS? I'm too excited about it."
Once again, Hassan pushed his mech's maneuver gear, propelling himself into the ongoing clash against GENESIS and Scarlett Marsh. The atmosphere crackled with tension as the battle unfolded with unpredictable twists.
The battle raged on as Hell Brothers found themselves facing the twins among the Black Hounds. The twins, realizing the similarity in their pairs, taunted, "Hell Brothers, where are you going? Don't you think you can forget us?"
The other twins deliberated, "Ohhh, brother, what should we do?"
Salis responded, "Silas, since Hassan told us we can do whatever we want, we're going to torture them."
Silas, filled with excitement, exclaimed, "Sure, brother! I can't wait."
Felix, concerned, turned to his elder brother Asher, asking, "Brother, what are we gonna do?"
Asher, with a hint of resignation, replied, "We have no choice. The chance we have to help Joseph and the others is too small. We'll try our best, Felix." The weight of the situation reflected in Asher's voice, acknowledging the challenges they faced in the ongoing battle.
Asher, with swift movements, engaged Salis in a fierce melee exchange. Their mechs moved around each other, blades clashing with sparks flying. Asher's reflexes and agility were pushed to the limit as he sought openings in Salis's defense.
On the other side, Felix confronted Silas, who exhibited a different combat style. Silas relied on ranged attacks, unleashing a barrage of projectiles from a distance. Felix maneuvered adeptly, utilizing cover and dodging with precision to avoid the onslaught, all while closing the gap between them.
The battlefield resounded with the clashing of blades as Raijin's weapon collided with Salis's mech. Seizing the opportunity, Salis taunted Asher with a playful tone, "Ohhh, Asher."
Frustration and annoyance etched across Asher's face as he retorted, "What?!"
Suddenly, Salis continued by playing a voice recording, "Asher... Felix..."
The moment Asher heard that voice, it triggered a flood of memories of their mother. A mix of emotions played across his face – surprise, recognition, and a hint of nostalgia. "That voice... Mother," he whispered, the revelation echoing through the chaos of battle.
The voice recording pressed on, "What have you done to them!"
Felix, while locked in combat against Silas, demanded, "What? What happened to Mother?!"
The voice recording continued, urgently calling out, "Asher, Felix!" before abruptly ending.
In a surge of frustration, Asher bellowed, "What have you done to Mother?" The weight of unanswered questions hung heavy in the air, adding an emotional layer to the chaos of battle.
In the midst of the fierce battle, Salis delivered a powerful kick, sending Raijin hurtling through the air until it collided with a massive rock. The impact echoed through the battlefield, leaving Asher struggling to regain control. The distant crash of metal against stone intensified the tension.
Asher, recovering from the impact, glared at Salis as he pointed the blade menacingly. Salis taunted, "it seems you begin to remember. Huh how about I smash the skull on your head to make you remember more?" The threat hung in the air, adding tension to the already intense battle, leaving Asher with a mix of anger and determination.
Witnessing his brother in danger, Felix exclaimed, "Brother!" He pushed Fujin's maneuver gear toward Salis.
"Don't you dare do anything to my brother!" Fujin unleashed its blade once again, continuing to attack furiously. However, Salis managed to dodge and retreated to his twin brother, Silas.
As Fujin raised its hand toward Raijin, Felix's voice reached Asher, "Brother."
Acknowledging the support, Asher responded, "Ohh, Felix... looks like I got carried away. Apologies." The moment carried a sense of camaraderie and mutual understanding, bringing a touch of emotional depth to the intense battlefield.
Felix his voice resolute while tried his best to focus on their main mission, "We'll think about that later, Brother."
Asher responded while regained his focus again, "Yeah... you're right, Felix. Things need to settle down first." The exchange between the two brothers conveyed a sense of unity and determination amidst the chaos of the battle.
In the midst of the intense clash between BEOWULF and Stein, the words exchanged added emotional depth to the battle. William's voice carried a mix of desperation and disbelief as he questioned, "Stein! Why are you becoming a part of Black Hounds?!"
His pleading continued, "Why, Stein? Don't you remember the days we used to play together. We grew up together!"
Stein, in his stoic demeanor, responded, "The day I became a part of Black Hounds, the old me you used to know is no longer."
William persisted, "Say that, Stein. If you're becoming a part of Black Hounds, who needs you?!" The confrontation highlighted the emotional strain between two former friends now on opposing sides of the battlefield.
In the heat of the battle, Stein's revelation about his past added a layer of melancholy to the clash. With a somber tone, he confessed, "I belong nowhere, William. The day when my father died, my life was nothing. I decided to outcast from society. Seems like you chose the path of the hero. You know nothing, William. You're naive, just like what you said to that GENESIS."
William, taken aback, recalled the day he entered the mech pilot test. "What?! You were there all along?!"
Stein remained in silence as William continued, "Well, I'd rather die as a hero than being a government dog." Reacting to William's words, Stein moved his mech, unleashing its sword and axe in an attempt to strike down BEOWULF. William swiftly blocked the attack with BEOWULF's claws. The clash symbolized not only a battle between mechs but also a clash of ideologies and paths chosen in life.
