Chapter 231 Bad For Earth

"Are you ready for this, boss?!" Eddie asked me in an overly loud robotic voice, sounding a bit too excited, but I couldn't really blame him.

"Almost, Tigger, calm your metal nuts! Turn your volume down; I am not deaf!" I yelled up at the thirty-foot-tall mech that Aiko had created.

It was an impressive machine that looked like it had come out of a sci-fi movie and was currently our best hope for taking down the Restriction System.

The mech was armed with an assortment of weapons, including a large energy cannon that Eddie was particularly excited about.

"Okay, I'm calm now," Eddie said, his voice returning to normal.

The two of us were in a big metal hanger that had some other smaller mech, but they were only my height and not really useful for this.

From what the files said in my head, this system was very capable, and it could split its body up nine times like the female Wargon that Eddie and I fought. This meant that it could Restrict up to nine things at once, but one was already busy, leaving eight other things that could be restricted.

That was what I had assumed, but I was almost sure that it was already restricting me from using its Restriction System. So, I hoped that would make everything easier, but I didn't think anything was going to be easy about this fight.

"Good, because we need to focus if we're going to do this," I said. "Remember, our goal is to keep the System from getting to Earth."

"Got it, boss!" Eddie said. "Let's do this!"

"Not yet; we are waiting for the girls that are coming with us. Aiko will tell us where it is time," I said

"Sorry, boss, just excited to blow some shit up!" Eddie said, toning down his voice.

"I know, I am too. But we need to be careful. We don't know what this thing is capable of, and we need to be prepared for anything," I said.

"Got it, boss!" Eddie said, giving me a thumbs up.

I turned to Aiko and nodded. "We're as ready as we'll ever be," I said. 𝘧r𝘦𝗲w𝘦𝚋𝐧o𝘷𝘦𝙡.co𝑚

Aiko nodded back and hit a button on her tablet. The doors to the hangar were pulled open by smaller ones, and the mech stepped out into the sunlight.

"The girls are going to be ready soon. The suits should help you, I hope, but I really didn't know what you were going to be accepting to fight up there," Aiko explained, and I nodded as we walked out.

"We'll be fine, don't worry about us," I said.

"Good luck," Aiko said as we walked towards the mech.

I turned to look at her one last time and nodded before getting into the cockpit of another mech that was a bit smaller, but I had designed this one. As soon as I was in, I pulled up Eddie, and he was busy running through some final checks.

"All systems are the green, boss!" Eddie said as I sat down in the pilot's seat.

"Good, let's get this show on the road then," I said as I started the mech up.

Mine was much different and far more complicated than Eddie's that Aiko made. This one I had created; it was meant for speed and agility. It wasn't as heavily armed as his, but it didn't need to be.

I was going to be the distraction while Eddie went in for the kill shot. Hopefully, everything would go according to plan, but I knew that nothing ever did.

The girls were going to act as backup and make sure that nothing gets to Earth, but it was going to be hard. Sofia was also on the ground with Anya and Amy, the three of them each operating massive energy cannons that didn't work. I still didn't understand how to use the crystal I had found, but there was a chance that the Restriction System was going to have to stop restricting the power during the fight. I was counting on it if Eddie and I couldn't defeat this thing.

"Coming!" I heard Melody over my intercoms and then started to hear the sounds of more mechs running over. The air was filled with thumps and the whining noise of the mech engines.

I was still a bit confused about how these things weren't using power, but Aiko told me that they were actually powered by Spirit Energy from the Earth. We would only have about two hours with the mechs, but that should be more than enough since they all had gravity engines, and we could make it to the contact point in a matter of seconds.

The girls were all in clones as well, so I didn't have to worry about anyone getting hurt. The mech they were in were all different, and each one was armed with an array of weapons.

"We're all here," I heard Katie's voice over the intercom, and I nodded.

"Good, let's do this then," I said as I turned on the gravity engine of my mech, slightly lifting off the ground.

Eddie did the same with his, and then we both took off into the sky, followed by the girls. We were going to end this once and for all.

"Papi! Bad news! Octavia just did a scan of the target, and it has moved! Target is heading for the moon and will make contact in five seconds. I have no idea what it is doing from here, but it can't be good!" Sofia told me as her face popped up in my view.

"Son of a bitch! Eddie, it's heading for the moon! We need to change our course!" I said as I altered my mech's trajectory.

"Got it, boss!" Eddie said as he did the same.

The girls followed us, and we were soon rocketing toward the moon at speeds that I didn't even know were possible. We were quickly closing in on our target, but I had no idea what it was going to do when we got there. From what I could see, it was digging a hole into the moon, but the why was a mystery.

"Boss, we're almost in range!" Eddie said as he readied his weapon.

"I see it," I said as I brought up a targeting reticle on my display.

The Restriction System was in our sights, and now I could get a better look at it and see what it actually was. It looked like a giant metal sphere with numerous spikes sticking out of it.

It was currently burrowed into the side of the moon, and I had no idea what it was doing. But I knew that we had to stop it before it could do whatever it was planning.

"Alright, Eddie, let's show this thing what we're made of!" I said as I slammed my fist down on the firing button.

Eddie did the same, and our mechs unleashed a barrage of missiles and energy beams at the Restriction System. The attacks pounded against its surface, but it didn't seem to phase it as it continued to burrow into the moon.

"Shit! It's not working!" Eddie said as he fired another volley of missiles.

"Go in and try some physical attacks!" I called, and Eddie burst forward, his mech slamming into the Restriction System. His attacks did nothing as well, and he was quickly ejected from the hole it had made. 𝑓𝓇𝑒𝑒𝚠e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝑙.com

"Fuck! This thing is tough!" Eddie said as he righted himself.

"We need to keep attacking it! There has to be something that will work!" I said as I continued to fire on the Restriction System.

Eddie nodded and went back in for another attack, this time using his energy cannon. The attack hit the Restriction System dead-on, but it still didn't seem to phase it. It continued its burrowing into the moon, and I knew that we had to do something soon, or it would be too late.

"Sofia, do you have any ideas?! Octavia?!" I asked.

I could go and try to stop it, but I wanted to wait until we exhausted all other plans. I wasn't sure why, but I had a feeling this thing was waiting for me to get close, but that might be the only answer.

"I don't know, Papi. I really thought that it would have gone straight for you. I think you are going to have to get close to it and try some of your powers on it. So far, it is not even paying attention to any of you, nor is it restricting any of your things. I have a really bad feeling about what it is doing with the moon. I have a sneaking feeling that it plans on using it for something deadly," Sofia explained, and I groaned.

"Fuck! I was afraid of that! But what can it do with the moon?!" I asked.

"I am not sure, but you need to get close and find out. Be careful, Papi," Sofia said as she signed off.

I turned back to Eddie and nodded. "Alright, I'm going in."

"Be careful, boss!" Eddie said as he moved to cover me.

I nodded and gunned the throttle, speeding toward the Restriction System. It was still burrowed into the moon, and I had no idea what it was doing. But I knew that whatever it was, it couldn't be good for Earth or any of us.
