Five Bio Terror Weapons began their approach to the mall, walking at a steady pace. A shot from a sniper rifle landed on its shoulder, missing a fatal shot. The Bio Terror Weapon ignored the attack and continued its way. They were a thousand meters away. Shots from the snipers marked its way to their vital spots. Most of the attacks missed, while some hit their intended targets. Marrick placed an accurate shot at a Bio Terror Weapon's knees, forcing it down.
"Knee pop scored!!" Marrick reported to the commanding officer.
"Noted!" the commanding officer replied.
The other Bio Terror Weapons beside of the downed one, approached and stepped on its back. Another one of them crushed its skull and a pool of blood flowed on the ground. The Bio Terror Weapon with its head crushed jerked as it tried to move. Moments later, its movement stopped.
"Everyone, don't waste your shots. There's a lot of them heading our way!" The commander said, using his binoculars. "They are just testing our defenses. The rest will come afterwards!"
"Headshot scored! Two down!" A sniper who was defending from the west part said.
"Who was that?" The commanding officer asked.
"Crenshaw, sir!" The spotter replied to the commanding officer.
"Good job! The more you guys score critical hits at the opponent. I will personally reward you myself, that if we survive this ordeal!" The commanding officer replied.

Sitting in desk, an official from the League of Nations was looking at the news. He was worried about the damage and humanitarian situation of the city of Maria Acuzena because of the attack. Despite the efforts of the mercenary corporations inside the city. They weren't able to stabilize the situation.
The official's phone rang, and he answered it. "George! We have a situation."
George's placed his left palm on his forehead and replied, "We are currently in one, James. I hope it's not something serious…"
"It is far more serious than the attacks, sadly." James replied on the phone. The league of nations' higher ups have called for a biological cleanup, which involves quarantining and clearing the city from the threat of the attack as well. All officials in the nearby cities are called to the main headquarters as a measure." James explained on the phone.
"What measure!?" George exclaimed, surprised.
"Evacuation procedures, George… We have no say to this!" James replied.
"I am sure I can stay here to coordinate with the relief and aid." George suggested.
"Everyone within a fifty-kilometer radius is required to leave. No exceptions will be given." James replied.
George sighed and gave up, "Very well… I will comply!"
"Thank you, George. I know you wanted to do more about this situation. However, help from the Oceanic Union of Newfoundland and the Nation of Yamato are on their way." James said.
"What do you mean, they are on their way?" George was surprised by what he heard.
"Yes!" James replied.

The situation was tense inside the command center. Dorothy and the other officers were observing what was going on outside of the city. While the defenses were doing well against the advance of the bio terror weapons. The concern of the horde still bothered them.
If the enemy were to unleash the horde against the defenders in the mall. Their defenses would be overwhelmed and they do not have any answer to it. Dorothy was staring at the screen when she saw something peculiar. "Black frame and humanoid structure! Could it be?"
Major Adams, seeing Dorothy's shocked face, became worried. He approached the screen where Dorothy was looking at and saw at least two enemy SynthMechs. They were not doing anything in the current situation."You've gotta be kidding me! Two enemy SynthMechs? Where does the enemy got such…!"
Dorothy interjected the Major's speech with her own and said to the commanding staff, "Everyone, I know we face a greater threat. Two enemy SynthMechs have been spotted. Our hope lies on our four mechs and a single SynthMech that will be piloted by a test pilot. I know it's a gamble, but our lives depend on the response and plans we make…"
"Ma'am, we found something!" Dorothy's speech was interrupted by an operator."What is it?" Dorothy replied and went to the screen.
"It's a televised broadcast from the regional director of the League of Nations!"
The operator tuned up the volume on the television broadcast for everyone in the command room to hear. The face of Harold Jay Lee appeared before the screen with the blue background behind of him. Emblem of the league of nations appeared behind of him."My dear free people in the Cornalian region. Today, we face a threat, dangerous and evil. A group of terrorists named 'Successors' claimed responsibility for the attacks in the city of Maria Acuzena…
Do not fear or fret, for the league of nations with the help of the Oceanic Union of Newfoundland, Nation of Yamato and the Great Republics of Yunan have dispatched forces to quell the terrorist uprising…"
"Successors?" Major Adams asked.
"They are said to be the successors of the Damian insurgency. I don't know what business they have with the region, but they have more connections and resources than before." Captain Erick added to the conversation.
"How did you know about that?" Dorothy asked.
"Rumors and some researching. I was once the head of the research in the intelligence bureau in the Country of Adelande. We know of the existence of the group five years ago." Captain Erick replied."Why have you not disclosed of such information?" Major Adams asked in reply.
"That's a top secret information. If I were to leak it, the special forces may put lead into my head!" Captain Erick replied.
"That's enough!" Dorothy stopped the two from quarrelling. "Now that we know our enemy, it's best to know of a plan based on what Captain Erick knows!"
Major Adams glared at Captain Erick. "I don't think we can trust this guy!"
