nBzzz!

nThe mech disappeared despite all his methods to stop it.

nAfter it disappeared, the gigantic Space Bug remained standing on Planet Titania, looking up at the radioactive skies as different thoughts filled the mind of this thousand year old Monster.

n“I NEVER THOUGHT THERE WERE OTHER SURVIVORS”. He muttered to himself but to everyone who heard it, it was like a roar.

nThe massive eyes of this Space Bug gleamed, they showed excitement.

n“OTHERS AT LAST!”

n“I ALWAYS THOUGHT THE PRICE OF SURVIVING THE DESTRUCTION WAS TO FOREVER LIVE A LONELY LIFE, BUT NOW I BELIEVE EVEN MORE IN THE GOD OF MACHINERY, HE ANSWERED MY PRAYERS”.

n“HE LIBERATED US FROM OUR PREVIOUS STATUS AS SLAVES”.

n“HE MADE OUR MASTERS KILL THEMSELVES THROUGH WARS, AND HE MADE US THE ONLY SURVIVORS OF THESE WARS THROUGH OUR MUTATIONS”.

n“HAHAHA…!”

n“HAHAHA…!”

nThe sight of a Giant Bug cackling would horrify anyone.

nAfter laughing to his fill, his eyes which remained focused on the skies became focused. “FROM WHAT I JUST SAW, WE HAVE ENEMIES”.

n“OF COURSE, NO EMPEROR TAKES HIS THRONE WITHOUT FACING ENEMIES”.

nHaving witnessed Onana use up the gift from his master to call upon his master’s powers, he naturally assumed that the enemies had a Grade A Super.

nBut he was not deterred.

n“MY FAITH CAN NO LONGER BE SHAKEN”.

n“THE GOD OF MACHINERY HAS DECIDED THAT I AM TO BE THE EMPEROR, SO NOTHING CAN STAND IN MY WAY, NOT EVEN THOSE BLUE ALIENS”.

nAfter reveling in the highs of his awakening and witnessing this great discovery, he finally calmed down as he observed his body.

n“THE HIBERNATION THIS TIME WAS MORE BENEFICIAL THAN BEFORE”.

n“I GAINED EVEN MORE MUTATIONS”.

n“I SHOULD SPEND SOME MORE TIME TO STUDY THEM AND UNDERSTAND MY NEW POWERS, AFTER THAT, IT WILL START”.

nThe next moment, the metal surface of the planet cracked open again as the gigantic Bug was sucked in before it finally closed back.

nWhile all this happened, the other Space Bugs all remained prostrated and inactive as they remained a gray color, blending with the Planet surface.

nEven after the Godfather left, they remained prostrating.

n…

nBzzz!

nGeneral Aztog’s fleet left warp travel to find themselves in an anomalous space.

nWom! Wom! Wom!

nMultiple alarms rang across the 3 Spaceships, attracting a lot of attention as panic set among them. The only reason why they didn’t falter was General Aztog.

n“Do not panic!” The General’s authoritative voice was calming.

n“I have experienced something like this before, this is a spatial storm”.

n“All you need to do is deploy and activate all the space-time stabilizers, and deactivate all spaceship systems that have a negative effect on space-time”.

n“Then, lastly, believe in me, I’ll lead you all through this”.

nDespite Champion Onana risking his life to protect their retreat, the Giant Space Bug was just too powerful, all 3 Spaceships still suffered damages of various degrees and was why they didn’t get to their destination before falling out of warp travel. Their FTL drives also suffered damages.

nThe worst part was that what dragged them from warp travel was a spatial storm, one of the deadliest anomalies in space.

nAt this moment, for a region across thousands of kilometers in this space, space and time seemed to be engaging a game of tug of war.

nSpace squeezed, ripped, and tore itself apart at rapid frequencies before repairing itself again. After repairing itself, it repeated the deadly sequence.

nEach cycle of this sequence was extremely dangerous to those stuck in it.

nBzzz! Bzzz! Bzzz!

nThe 3 Spaceships suffered even more damage by the second.

nAfter just barely surviving a battle by the skin of their teeth, most of them still felt rattled but with General Aztog’s calming words, they regained their nerves.

n‘The Champion already risked his life to protect us once’.

n‘We can’t throw his efforts down the well without fighting’.

n‘We must fight!’

n‘We must survive!’

nFilled with conviction, the whole fleet came alive.

nThe engineers went to the repair bays to perform emergency repairs on the internal damages suffered by the Spaceships.

nThe other crew and warriors deployed space-time stabilizers while also using their own methods to try calming the terrible fluctuations in the space-time.

nEscaping a spatial storm was not a sprint, it was a marathon.

nThey persevered through Day 1.

nThey persevered through Day 2.

nThey suffered through Day 3 and 4.

nBy the 6th Day, all 3 Spaceships already suffered terrible hull damages and were barely holding. Not just the Spaceships, their crew were already pushed to their wits end both mentally and physically.

nDespite their exhaustion, they still put in their all to struggle.

nOn the 8th day, a miracle happened.

nBZZZ!

nTo all of them, they felt like they were suddenly liberated.

nLooking out, they discovered that the spatial storm was already in the distance. Escaping it left a feeling in them like they were liberated.

nThe crew and warriors felt emotional, some even broke down in tears.

n‘We did it!’

n‘We survived!’

nWhile they jubilated, General Aztog’s voice reverberated again.

n“There’s no time to rest, we need to save the Champion”.

nThey were all jolted awake on hearing that.

n“He risked his life to save ours, now we need to reciprocate and do the same. A good deed should be repaid with another good deed”.

n“Every Engineer should work on repairing the Spaceships and making them space worthy again”.

n“Every sensor-oriented software Engineer should focus on maximizing the powers of the Spaceship sensors to search for traces of the Champion”.

n“I know he is alive somewhere”.

nDespite their exhaustion, both mentally and physically, General Aztog’s words pulled the whole fleet to order as they overexerted themselves even more in a bid to find Champion Onana.

nTo achieve this feat, they would give their very all.𝑂𝓋𝐋xt.𝑪𝔬𝑀

n~BERSERKER~

nWARNING! Critical Damage across all Systems!

nWARNING! System failure detected across multiple mech systems!

nArmor Integrity: 17%

nPower Reactor Energy Reserves: 8%

nFTL Drive State: Unusable!

n…

nOwner State: Critically Injured!

nFrozen State: Barely Intact!

nPercentage of Death: 85%

nMaking Countermeasures…

nDirecting 50% Power Reactor energy reserves to keeping the automatic mech cryo tube intact!

nDirecting 10% Power Reactor energy reserves to sending distress signals!

nMech Armor deteriorating 65% faster!

nSilently, Berserker drifted through space like an abandoned metal wreck.

nFloating alongside the tiny asteroids and metal junk in space, Berserker looked nothing like a once majestic Grade B mechanic suit.

nIts armor was totally damaged, only the frozen interior prevented radiation from entering rampantly but some still slipped through.

nEvery second, the state of this once state-of-the-art mech deteriorated.

nDespite this, Berserker never gave up as it gave more effort to preserving Champion Onana’s life while also giving it’s best to send out distress signals.

nIt was already more than a week since it started floating in space.

n8 hours later, its deterioration hit a peak.

n~BERSERKER~

nWARNING!

nArmor Integrity: 3%

nPower Reactor Energy Reserves: 0.05%

nWARNING! POWER REACTOR ENERGY RESERVES: 0%

nInstantly, the mech lost all power. The A.I shut down including every interface and virtual mechanisms of the mech, the cryo tube barely survived.

nBy the second though, the frozen state started being more affected by the radiation energy seeping in as there was no more energy to protect it.

nIn 30 minutes at most, Champion Onana would die.

nAt this moment, he was tethering at the jaws of death.

n22 minutes later…

nBzzz!

nA Spaceship arrived at this location from warp travel.
