Eques Mechanica is a sci-fi action series set in the year 2095. It revolves around Austin, a struggling ex-soldier trying to make his mark in the world. After being drafted into the UN by government officials to test drive a new meka, designed to keep the world safe, many dangerous threats appear.

== Before Mechanica ==

Earth was over run by monsters, coming and destroying as many parts of the world as they please. Some disapeared, while others died. But, that didn't stop a large number of them to freely wonder the Earth. In the year 2046, the Kaiju Extinction Event occurred, wiping all kaiju off the face of the planet. With Earth suddenly free of horror, and all commotion died down, the human race developed quickly. Spreading to other planets, Humans weren't just bound to the Earth. They had spread to Mars and the Moon. With colonies quickly growing, and resources being shipped to Earth for manufacturing use, Human kind had become only what they could dream of. With peace across the globe, all seemed well. Until that one, fateful day.

SPLIT INTO EPISODE ONE
He who shall  is the first episode of Eques Mechanica. It was written by SuperNerd295.

== Plot ==

Birds sang their songs of love. The wind of the coast whistled in the horizon. The trees, that where still standing, swayed in the trees. Besides the corpses, fire, and destruction, it would have been a lovely day. The ground had been stained with blood. Not just human blood, but a majority was the blood of something bigger, ancient, and... more horrifying. In the distance, a once beautiful temple had been smashed. It had honored the same creature that had caused this. All it did now was swim. But it was not swimming for no reason. It was swimming to find something. A boat. A boat leading back to a city.

The city bustled like a colony of ants returning a days work. People walked up and down the streets and cars zoomed by. Office men walked into their buildings to do their jobs, and other people walked around shopping. Girls stopped by, looking at the shoes and dresses, while boys looked at the posters for movies, action figures, and games. Of course, there where exceptions to this. Some girls stopped to look at movie previews on the large holo-boards, and some boy's looked at the men's clothing options in the stores. Every now and then you would see a person or group of people sitting on a park bench, using their Wrist Screens. The streets of New York where always busy. But there was less people today. And for good reason. There was a storm out. I mean, it still needs to rain. Many people stayed inside. But there was one who was not like the others. His name was Austin.

Austin was once a soldier in the United States Military. He was sent out on the front lines during the third cold war, which turned into an actual battle. After two years in service, Austin had retired. Now he lived in his apartment struggling with debt and loneliness. Austin was however, still young. At only 23 years old, he still had a large life ahead of him. He looked out his window from his couch. He stared at all of the people having fun and the children playing with their parents. He looked back at his television and switched to the world wide Football tournament. He watched England compete against Japan, America against Serbia, Etc. He was, if not obvious, tired. Suddenly, someone knocked on his door. Austin got up and the door automatically opened. Three men in black suits stood in front of his door. "Good afternoon, Mr. King." The man in center said. Austin walked closer. "What do you want? Can't you see I'm busy watching the Football tournament?" The man at the left stepped forward. "We have noticed your life since your retirement has been quite bland, especially for an ex-soldier. No kids, no wife or girl friend," The man at the right stepped forward, and opened his mouth. He was quickly interrupted by Austin. "I have no interest in doing this." The man in the center held his hands out. "Please, you haven't even heard us through. Just listen to what we have to say." Austin rolled his eyes and sighed. "Fine. But make it quick." The man at the right opened his brief case and pulled out a pen and a contract. "Please read it." Austin took the paper. "Invitation by the UN." He looked at the men skeptically. One of them motioned him to keep reading. "By signing this paper you will be given full access to government headquarters across the globe (with permission), and all of your bills will be payed by the government..." He looked up and back at the men. "This is bull shit. Get your telemarketing asses outta my house." He stuck the paper out at the men. "Please!" one of them cried. "Read the whole thing." Austin sighed and did as told. "...you will pilot assault unit 12 when ordered? What the hell does that mean?" The men shuffled and the one in the center stepped up. "You'll find out if you sign the paper, Mr. King." Austin sighed. He held the paper out. "I'm not working in any kind of fighting force again. I'm done. Now buzz off before I call security." The man at the left came up with an idea. "You are struggling with rent, correct? The paper will solve those problems. You'll surely go broke soon and become homeless." Austin looked at the paper again. He swallowed his pride. "Good bye fast food jobs, and good riddance."

The four got into a car after one of the men told the owner that Austin would be moving out for good. They had been driving for about an hour now. The three men where all drastically different. The one who stood in the center and who was now in drivers seat was a bald man with facial hair and like the other men, wore dark sunglasses to keep their identities secret. The one in shotgun who stood on the left was an old man, probably in his 60's. His body was thin and slender, and his hair looked like something from the late 50's. The one next to Austin in the right passenger seat, and who stood on the right was young. He had brown hair and seemed more kind and friendly. He slipped up constantly. He looked at Austin. "I guess it would be time to introduce ourselves. Hello, I'm Evan. That's Douglas." He pointed to the old man. Douglas took over from here. "That man driving us is Joseph." Joseph kept his eyes on the road unfocused. "Greetings again Mr. King. It's been a pleasure, but I'm afraid we're here. You will have to leave now." Austin got out of the car. "Evan, Douglas, escort him through the base. He'll get killed if your not with him." The building they where entering was huge, and shaped like a large triangle. You could see the gaps between metal plates that built the buildings exterior. A large door stood in front of them. Austin stood there taking it all in. Evan came up behind him. "It's a lot, huh?" "Just get going." Douglas said, grabbing Austin by the wrist and pulling him to the door. A person stood at the desk. "ID please." Douglas and Evan took their's out. He looked at Austin. "ID?" "None, he's the new kid." Douglas said. "No idea what that means, but lemme guess Doug, your going to Atlantic HQ?" Douglas smiled. "Damn right. Three tickets."

The three, after going through reception and getting Austin an ID, boarded the plane. It was a huge, military stealth jet, obviously intended for people like the president and the FBI. The three boarded and strapped up. Emergency supplies was very close by. A crew member came to them with a tray in hand."Welcome. We have 56 television channels available in 12 different languages. The flight will last 2 hours." "Thank you Ma'm. " Douglas said, smiling. "Safe travels!" She said, walking away. The plane started up and began moving. "Hey, Austin." Evan said, in a whispering voice. "I suppose we should give you more details now that we are in a safe area." Evan tapped the pad on his wrist. A screen popped up with a few lines of text. "Assault unit 12 is a highly classified subject. Talk about it in a facility with civilians will result in a discharge.  Assault unit 12 is a high grade attack based robot made to combat any future kaiju threats." The plane took off and began to fly. "I thought all kaiju where killed in the extinction event." Austin said, confused. "Well, they wouldn't have built this thing if that was the case. The truth is, the extinction event only killed all known kaiju. And unfortunately, that doesn't account all of the kaiju that remain unknown to humans." Evan stated. "Ones living deep in space, the ground, and the ocean where completely untouched by the attack." Austin paused. It took him a while to think of something. "Why not tell the people? They should know about this." Evan sighed. "If the civilians think they are safe, then why break that? It's the only thing people are clinging to anyways. They where told about the horrors that happened prior to the extinction event. Stories about how humans struggled and monsters taller then sky scrapers tore apart cities. There where organizations dedicated to getting rid of kaiju, by using kaiju themselves. But, they where fairly ineffective if history class hadn't taught you anything." "You seem to know a lot about the extinction event." Austin pointed out. "I guess you don't know the whole truth. The extinction event wasn't a subtle, controlled thing. It was an entire mass elimination of anything that moved. As soon as a kaiju was found, huge amounts of weaponry where launched at it. Barrages of missiles, nukes, and anything you could think of. It took a long time to rebuild, even with new technology and government funding. Anything pertaining to the event was covered up. It seemed humans hadn't learned from their mistakes. The government doesn't want to happen again. That's why they are making the more controlled, and subtle assault units." The rest of the ride was in silence. The two didn't speak another word.

When the plane landed, Austin woke up. He had been sleeping for about an hour now. He looked out the window, yawning and blinking his eyes. Everyone outside was screaming and running around. The plane stood on one of many platforms in the sea. Metal platforms connected themselves, buildings lay among them. A large, central one stood in the middle. A storm blew on, workers wearing ponchos and rain gear passed by. Outside, Douglas and Evan where talking to a lady. Suddenly, Evan ran on board and grabbed Austin by the shoulder. "C'mon, we're here. There's an emergency, code red." Austin got up. "I guess rooms are going to have to wait."

The two met up with Douglas. "Let's go, there's not much time before it arrives on shore." The three began running towards the center, hitching rides on the systems tram. "So what happened?" Austin asked, confused by the sudden change of things. "A kaiju appeared off the coast of Florida. They say explorers went to an island and woke something. Since they used boat, they where slow and left a scent trail. Lead the damn thing right to the city!" Douglas replied. They hopped off the tram and began running. The three were soaking wet at this point. They ran into the building, hopping down stairs, and pushing staff out of the way. They finally made it to the docking bay. In front of them stood a large, black and orange robot, with a red visor. It's head had spike protruding from it. It had a pistol strapped to it's left leg, a knife on it's right, and an assault rifle on it's back. It's shoulders had metal towers that bent backwards. The back of it's head was opened up and attached to the platform. Austin stood there, looking at the robot. An elevator opened up next to them. "Austin King, nice to meet you. I see your already covered in water from today's storm. Ride up the elevator with me, will you?"

The two arrived at the top. "Who are you?" Austin asked. "No time for names, I'm going to need you to get in Guerrier over there." He said, pointing to the robot. "I'm guessing your used to it being called Assault Unit 12." Austin shook his head. "So what are you waiting for, get inside." Austin ran into it's head, and followed the mans instructions. He sat down in the chair and dragged the head piece down. He placed it on his head. Austin fell unconscious. Guerrier's visor lit up to a bright red color. Austins activation prompted an emergency warning to pop up. "WARNING!!! KAIJU SIGHTED IN: MIAMI, FLORIDA! WARNING!!!" The message cleared and Austin's vision was, strange. Looking around, everything was so small. Then it hit him. He was seeing through Guerrier's eyes. At the bottom left corner of his vision was a display showing fuel. The bottom right was a small spinning model of Guerrier, with the words "Unharmed" underneath it. The model tracked the damage on Guerrier's body and reported it's status to Austin. "Okay. Good so far. WE don't have time for combat training or any of that, so just hang tight. Also, if you feel unsteady, crouch down. I will report to you things you should know when the time comes." Below Guerrier, the ground began to shake a little, before it elevated. Guerrier was standing on an elevator. It pushed the mecha up until it was standing outside in the storm. "If you want to open your com channels, just talk. Guerrier is built to read speech patterns and transmit them over com." Guerrier stood still as several aircraft picked it up. "Understood." Austin said. His words echoed in the docking bay and through the control room. Guerrier was tilted laying upside down and the aircraft began to fly. "Sorry about this, but it's the most effective method of transportation we have for now. If you feel nauseous, just remember you can't regurgitate while inside Guerrier. I'm not sure there's a real cure for nausea in a large robot." The aircraft engines began to blare as fire spout out of the thrusters and smoke came out of the exhaust. The aircraft flew at a seemingly impossible speed for something carrying an object of Guerriers size. "Light weight alloy." The mans voice came through the coms again. "It took us a while but it was worth it. A sturdy, light weight alloy."

By the time Guerrier had arrived in the city, it was already evacuated. However, that didn't mean it was clean. Buildings lay destroyed all over the coast and fires spread like wildfire throughout Orlando. A large, red creature was flailing it's tail around and clawing at buildings. "See that thing? It's called Rajanu . Ancient diplocaulus like creature. Worshiped as a god on a once untouched island. Natives where friendly. This thing wasn't." Guerrier was dropped from the aircraft and had a rather ungraceful landing. It landed face first onto a section of cleared ground. "Could've told me I was going to drop." Austin said, annoyed about the sudden fall. The little Guerrier in the bottom right displayed small red highlights all over the front of the robot's body. It said "Barely harmed". Guerrier stood up and whipped out it's pistol. Rajanu was waddling towards the mecha. Guerrier was about to pull the trigger before Rajanu shot blood from it's eyes. It aimed the blood at Guerriers eyes. The acidic blood lightly damaged Austins vision and caused corrosion on the forehead. It then hit Austin. He was feeling the pain Guerrier felt. "WHAT KIND OF SICK JOKE IS THIS!" He screamed through coms. The man on the other end remained silent. Guerrier turned it's head around and began firing like a maniac. The man began talking. "What are you doing! Your in the back of it's head!" At this Austin looked at it again. Rajanu jumped at his face and started biting down. Guerrier struggled to get it off. He grabbed it by it's neck and began choking it. Rajanu began spinning it's throat, it's teeth ripping apart Guerrier's face. Austin began to loose vision, the visor began to crack. "DAMMIT!!!" Austin Grabbed his assault rife and began firing down on the creatures head. It fell off of Guerrier and began biting it's knees. Guerrier did it again, Rajanu jumped back and fired it's acidic blood at him. Austin jumped to the side in a combat roll and began firing again. The bullets rolled off of the now bruised creature. It ran between the robot's legs and launched itself into the water. Austin followed. He cautiously took out his knife, knowing the monster could sense his every move in the water. "Behind you!" the man cried. Guerrier turned around. Sure enough, the creature was approaching from behind it. Austin stabbed it's head and the monster reared back in panic, slapping the mecha with it's tail. It hopped onto land. Austin swam up, grabbed the ground, and pulled himself up. The monster was running inland! "Austin, I know this sounds weird, but have you ever flown a plane?" The man said. "Yeah, I worked airforce, why?" " Do you remember how to activate the thrusters?" "Yeah." Austin ran full speed at the monster. "Imagine your doing it." The monster was about 600 meters away. Austin remembered the feeling of turing the plane on, and then activating thrusters mid flight. Suddenly, Guerriers shoulder pylons folded backwards and sparked to life. Guerrier accelerated towards Rajanu, scaring the creature half to death. Guerrier grabbed it and slammed it into the ground as it's thrusters died down. The monster was badly damaged, it's limbs where broken and it was covered in blood. Rajanu screamed and wailed, flinging it's tail at Guerrier, who grabbed it by it's neck, and shoved it's hand down it's throat. Guerrier choked the creature to death. Austin panted heavily. "Thank goodness. Cleanup won't be that hard." The man said in coms. An aircraft landed behind Austin. Suddenly, he was detached from Guerriers conscious. Austin sat there, dumbfounded at what just happened. He stood up out of the chair and fell down in the small room in Guerriers head. He got up and stumbled some more. He opened the door and a helicopter was waiting on the now extended platform. Evan stood outside, beckoning him to come in. "C'mon. You did good." Austin followed him in. He was covered in sweat. "Wow, you worked your ass of today, didn't you?" Austin smiled and laughed a little. "What are they going to do with Rajanu?" "Probably take it in for studying. This is groundbreaking." Austin looked at the creature as the helicopter flied off. "He was just an animal. I kinda feel bad for him." Guerriers arm was still lodged in it's throat. "Well," Evan said "It was also pretty old. Our readings of it's organs say it was going to die in a few years. And to that thing, it must have only felt like a few weeks." The helicopter flew off to Atlantic HQ.

Austin cleaned up, and was introduced to his room. It was big, the size of a classroom. It had a bookshelf, TV, a computer, and bunk beds. "What are the bunk beds for?" Austin asked. " Your getting a roommate from Pacific HQ. He's Australian, though he was born on Mars." Joseph said, looking around the room. "Your a lucky guy, getting a room like this. My rooms pretty small, only has a bookshelf." He looked around more. "Don't get too comfortable, who know when another kaiju might show up." Austin sighed. "I hope not soon." Joseph saluted. "Take care Mr. King." "You too Joseph." Austin walked in and sat down on the bottom bunk. He stretched out and began to lay down. He had so many questions, but so little time.

The Light of a new Future  is the second episode of Eques Mechanica. It was written by SuperNerd295.

== Plot ==

Mars was no longer the lonely planet it once was. It was now the biggest mining and shipping resource human life had. In specific, the event's transpiring took place on the Jaeli shipping bay, which at this time was covered by military troops. "Loading Archiere onto the ship sir!" A crew member said, having the large mecha being loaded onto space shuttle. "Faster! Do it FASTER! If another kaiju appears on Earth and the current pilot can't do it, then whose to blame? We are!" A man in his 40's walked by, wearing a dark brown trench coat. "Mates, don't worry. I wouldn't doubt the kids capabilities, considering he eradicated that Rajanu thing." The man started rubbing his facial hair. "Though, would be nice to get down there before I die." A couple of crew members chuckled. "Noah, how is it that your so calm about this whole thing, cracking jokes and laying down on benches while my men are scared half to death that the ship might explode?" The captain said, looking around and then focusing on Noah. "I'm not calm. Only on the outside. On the inside, I can't wait to get to Earth. Haven't been there since I was five. I wanna see how things have changed in 40 years." The captain looked at him and then back at his men. The mecha was almost completely loaded onto the ship. "We are ready to launch sir!" one of the crew members said. "Get on the ship you old rascal." The captain said, walking away.

Back on Earth, Austin was inside his room, waiting for command. He wasn't allowed to leave until he was given permission. Austin began walking in circles, and then decided to read a book. Halfway through, Joseph walked in. "Mr. King. You are allowed to wonder around with my supervision." At this Austin sighed a sound of relief, dropped his book, and sprang up. The two began walking around. "So where do you want to go, I know this part of the facility like the back of my hand." Austin stopped. He thought for a moment. "Can I return to the docking bay to see Guerrier again?" Joseph nodded. "Knock yourself out, just follow me." The two got into the room and repairs where still under way. Austin didn't notice how badly damaged Guerrier was in the city, as most of his view was high above from the ground of the now partially destroyed Miami. Guerrier's visor was now a dark crimson, as it had not been activated. It was also cracked, with shards of glass missing in several places. It's right arm was turned into metallic Swiss cheese, as it had holes, scrapes, and even exposed wire and tubing. The inner part of the arm was leaking oil. "I didn't realize how bad it got beat up." Austin said, staring at it. "That's pretty surprising considering your the one who shoved it's arm down the bladed throat of an overgrown salamander." Said a man, walking out from underneath Guerrier. He was holding a few rocks and a vacuum. "Souvenir?" he asked, rolling a rock into his palm and holding it out for Austin. "No thanks." He said slowly pulling his head back. "Guess it's going into recycling." He said. The man wiped the sweat and oil off of his face. "Names Oliver. I'm from Wales." He handed the rocks to another engineer walking by and stuck his hand out, prompting Austin to shake it. Austin took it. "Austin. Pilot of Guerrier." The man chuckled. "Well, It's good to know you take pride in what's mine." The man looked at the mecha. It's arm was being replaced by with a new one. "Don't tell me you created it!" Austin exclaimed, marveling at the man. "Yeah, it was my design. But I didn't just make this one, I made all the other assault units. Of course they where all built from the same design but each ones unique." It took Austin few seconds to take in the fact that there wasn't only two Assault units. "You mean there's more? Like, how many? Three?" Oliver chuckled. "It's classified. Anyways, try not to mess up Guerrier next time. And who knows when that will be. Repairs will take till tomorrow, so get comfy." Oliver looked up at the area leading to Guerriers control station. "MAKE THE FLOOR IN THERE SHINY! I DON'T WANNA SEE A SINGLE SPEC OF DIRT!" And with that, Joseph and Austin left the docking bay.

The two walked around and stopped by Austins room. "It's lunch time. About time you see the cafeteria." Joseph motioned Austin to follow him. "After this I have orders to send you back to your room." The two walked up to the large sliding glass doors. The doors opened and revealed the cafeteria. It was large, with orange walls and many tables. It was well decorated, even having a special seating place for the heads of each department in a separate room adjacent to it. Austin walked up to the stand and looked at the food. A robot stood behind the counter. Underneath the glass was pizza, mashed potatoes, salad, macaroni and cheese, and burgers. The robot tilted it's head at Austin, motioning him to pick a food. "I'll take this." He said, pointing to the pizza. The robot nodded and placed a slice on a tray. It rolled over, tray in hand, to the next station. This station had several drink options including cola, beer, several assorted wines, water, and a few assorted teas. Austin pointed to the water, and sure enough, the robot poured him a cup and placed it on the tray. The robot lifted the tray up and handed it to Austin. "Thanks..."Austin said, not sure what to say. The robot put it's thumb up. "Hey! Austin!" Evan said, running towards him. "Hey Evan." Austin said shyly. He glanced back and the robot was helping another person. "Did you see Guerrier? You left the thing a mess." Austin nodded. "Yeah, and I met a guy named Oliver. Know anything about him?" Evan nodded. "Yeah actually, a lot. He's the head of the engineering department, and his great grandfather made this building. He's in either two rooms, the docking bay or his little workshop. Well, at least that's what the other engineers say." Evan sighed. "Hey let's go sit down."

When the two arrived at the table, Douglas was already finished with his salad and drinking his tea. "What took you two so long?" Douglas asked, taking another sip. "We just talked a bit, that's all." Evan replied. Joseph leaned against a pole supporting the room. Evan and Austin sat down. Douglas looked at Austin. "How is it like piloting an assault unit?" He said, waving his fork around and putting more salad in his mouth. Austin didn't know how to respond to that. "It's uh... interesting?" Austin looked at his pizza for a moment. "Is that all you can say?" Douglas said. "Please, give me a better description." Austins mind went searching for the right answer. He looked at his water and closed his eyes. "It's almost like... thrilling but scary at the same time. I-it's... hard to describe." Douglas nodded as if in understanding. "I hear you." Joseph was about to step forward and ask his own question but the clip in his ear buzzed and he got a message. He put his hand to his ear and began talking. When he was done he stepped over to the other three. "A strange plant has been discovered in the streets of Beijing. It has appeared in random location throughout the city, so it doesn't look like a kaiju. Might be some exotic plant species some guy brought with him. Then again, who knows what it is." Douglas slouched back a little and put his chin on his palm. "Could it be from the Mars revival project?" Joseph shook his head. "It doesn't match any identified life form on the three colonies. It does have traces of cherry blossom, but other then that no one knows what it is." Evan sighed. "That sure is strange. I don't want to be in charge of paper work if that thing goes out of control." Austin stopped eating. "You said it doesn't match any known life form. That can't be. In a study in 2090 it said that all forms of life had been cataloged. Who knows what that thing is?" Everyone looked at Austin. "Your right, but... It is possible, isn't it?" Evan said. "No, actually. Austins right. There's no way something like that could escape from the reach of scientists. The plants are said to be at least a foot tall." Joseph said. His clip buzzed again. Everyone turned their attention to Joseph. "What do you mean... They grew 5 times the size?"

The Doux Baiser, the large cargo ship Archiere was held on sailed smoothly through space. It was almost about to enter atmosphere. "Prepare fields, and get ready to set up the shields, just in case." The captain said through intercoms built into the ship. "All passengers not seated should do so now." Noah, who was sitting next to him picked up the microphone. "Going godspeed, captain." The ship blasted through the atmosphere and made a visible mark in the clouds. It blasted downwards and over the pacific ocean. "Head to Atlantic HQ." The captain said to his crew. He turned to Noah. "Why did you do this, sign up for something this outrageous?" Noah smiled. "Because it's something no one else would do. I mean, I didn't want to be a soldier, but look at me. 48-year-old veteran of the Martian civil war. Former elite military sniper." The captain sighed. "What's wrong with that? I lead your team Noah. I killed more people then you did. We did it because we needed to." Noah sighed. "You don't get it Wilhelm. You have been a trained soldier since you where 16, leaving to join the military. Now here you are, 83-year-old Captain Wilhelm. You never had a problem with killing. But me? I was drafted into your squad because I got a test right. I wasn't trained or prepared. The first time I pulled that trigger, aiming at that man... it was the longest five seconds of my life.  But this? This is different. We didn't have to go to war with them, our people. But with this? We have no choice. And until you get your cowards little ass in an Assault Unit, you can't say shit." Wilhelm turned his head. "Bring us to AHQ. Godspeed."

Everyone looked at Joseph. He was feeding them the information. He suddenly stopped. He took the chip out of his ear and looked at it. "Jesus Christ.." Evan leaned forward. "What is it?" Joseph leaned forward and began to tremble. "The second scar..." He gritted his teeth. "Wait... you don't mean..." Douglas was interrupted. "It's a Kaiju!" Everyone stopped. "Dammit... Austin, come with me!" Evan said, grabbing him by the arm. The two ran out of the room and to the docking bay. When they ran in Evan and Austin went up the elevator and ran to The Man. "Sir! There's a  Kaiju in Bei..." Evan was stopped. The screen above them was giving out live footage while the reporter did a play-by-play of the situation. The Man turned to them. Archiere, the next Assault Unit." Austin nodded. "Yes sir.". Austin dashed inside of Guerrier and sat down, placing the head piece on.  Austin opened his eyes and saw through the mechas. "Now, we weren't able to fix up everything..." Austin lifted up his right arm. There where still some holes, but they where relatively fixed, and wouldn't cause any oil leakage during battle. "But we made sure that they where patched up before we sent you out." The elevator was being lifted in the air. "Also, given your feed back last time, we will make sure to tell you when you drop." The aircraft picked him up and tilted him. Guerrier was brought upwards unto the bottom of the crafts and stuck firmly by both cables and magnets. The craft flew out towards china as fast as they could. Evan looked at the screen. Only then did he see the creature. A mass of vines and roots cradling a delicate seed, roughly the size of an Assault Unit. "Please Austin... please..."

When the aircraft had arrived on the scene, the news station suddenly switched it's concentration to the mecha being dropped. The Chinese woman narrating the events began speaking again. "Dàn zhè shì shénme? Zhěngjiù měiguó de qíguài jīqìrén? But what's this? The strange robot that saved America?" Guerrier dropped down and landed perfectly. It was at this time that stations all over the world got news of the event. All the channels had eyes viewing Guerrier. Austin noticed the people standing just down the street from the kaiju. "It's called Ceres. Plant like organism. Doesn't appear to be too powerful. Go run it down. Also, mind the paparazzi please." Guerrier stepped slowly over to where the news channel was. All of them ran over into a corner and screamed. Guerrier crouched down and looked at them. Guerrier pointed his finger to his right, telling them to go that way. The woman crossed her arms and shook her head. Some other members of the crew began swearing at Austin. "Ignorant bitch." The Man said over coms. Austin turned around. Ceres shot a root at Guerrier, only for the mecha to dodge, grab it, and snap it in half. Austin was about to throw it on the ground when it extended and began flailing at the people behind him! The news reporters ran in fear and began cursing both Guerrier and Ceres. Guerrier launched the root at Ceres, only for it to block it with other roots. Austin pulled out it's Siren hand gun and began firing at the monster. Ceres stuck out all of it's roots, absorbing the bullets and bouncing them out. It then launched five roots at Austin who was trying to get his Typhon assault rifle out. Guerrier was impaled in the shoulders, chest, and arms, and then lifted into the air. Fluids where draining out of the mecha slowly. Austin blasted the root in his chest out, and then cut the other ones off with his knife. "You gotta watch out. This thing is powerful." Just then, a root came from behind and stabbed Austin's back! Austin grabbed it and pulled it out slowly, as it was extremely painful. The roots had already drained some of the water out of Guerrier's body, making it hard to control. Austin set thrusters back and charged at  Ceres with it's knife. Big mistake. Ceres already had enough water and sunlight to sprout, and so it did. The seed inside the nest of roots snapped open, and a large green humanoid figure emerged. A singular yellow eye popped out of it's forehead. It blinked at Austin. "Dammit..."

Twenty roots shot at Austin and dug themselves inside of him. He cleaved through them and rolled backwards, avoiding it's next attack. There was exposed wiring in Guerrier's chest. Austin had a plan, he just needed to wait. Guerrier charged at Ceres again, only for another surprise. Ceres formed a large bright ball above it's head that shot itself at Guerrier's head, blasting it backwards. Austin struggled to get up, his physical body actually harmed. Guerrier took of it's assault rifle and rolled onto it's back. It began firing rapidly at Ceres, but all it did was deflect the shots. Austin cursed the monster. It was twice his height and had not only a strength advantage, but a reflex and number advantage as well. Guerrier got up and almost fell over, but Austin controlled the mecha. He was about to risk his life. "COME AT ME YOU PIECE OF SHIT!!!" He screamed. Ceres stabbed all of it's roots into Guerrier's chest. Austin took out his knife and was about to cut the wires on his chest. "Don't do it! You'll destroy Guerrier!" The Man warned. Austin screamed and closed his eyes. He heard a gun shot, followed by an explosion. Something his size grabbed his arm, right when it was about to slice the wires. "Kid, don't do that." Austin opened his eyes and looked at the other figure. Next to him stood a large figure with an orange crest, and a red cape. It's head resembled a space suit. "Noah Smith, nice to meet you."

== Plot ==

The two mecha stood there next to each other, relived of a threat. Austin fell to the ground on his knees. The other mecha crouched down and looked at him. "Get up." it said. "I'm giving you the count of ten." Austin stood up and looked at the other mecha for again. It's face stained with a green liquid and a sniper rifle held in it's arms. "As I said, Noah Smith, nice to meet you." Guerrier put out it's hand, gesturing for a hand shake. "Your name, please." Noah said impatiently. "Austin King. It's good to meet you too." Noah accepted the hand shake. "Transport Jets will arrive in your location in about 5 minutes. Please stay way from the media." The Man said. Foot steps where heard in the background.

The Man walked down from the platform and to the elevator, ready to go to his meeting. While inside, someone grabbed his shoulder. "Where are you going?" Owen said from behind him, the elevator starting. The light on it flickered. The pale grey walls seemed to loose color. "I'm going to my meeting I have scheduled at four fifteen. Is there anything wrong with that?" The Man replied, grabbing Owens hand. He didn't bother to turn around and face him. He gently took the hand off his shoulder, his movements weak and shaky. Owen reapplied his hand on his other shoulder. "Why was I not told about this meeting? I am the head of the construction department." The Man took a deep breath and placed his hand in his pocket. He pulled out a folded piece of paper and handed it to Owen. "This should cover what you don't understand. It's arriving soon, about a week from now." Curious, Owen opened up the paper. "Yuki...Urahara..." Owen watched as The Man walked out, placing his hand oh the sensor as the door opened. He glanced back at the paper. He folded it back up and put it in his pocket.

Austin and Noah stood watching the sky. They payed no attention to the creature behind them. It watched them, purposely wilting itself by dispersing water. The yellow light in it's eye grew fainter, the green skin of it turning as brown as it's roots and it's soft and oily texture turning cracked and dry. The clouds drifted on for what seemed like forever until the jets finally arrived. Austin and Noah shook hands again, finally glad to be allies. For all they knew, things would only get more difficult from there. And as expected, they did.

Evan stood at the screen, watching Guerrier's moves as it moved towards the jets. Guerrier turned around to look at Ceres again. Albeit only for a few seconds, Evan noticed something. "What's wrong Austin?" Noah said looking at him from at least 20 meters away. "It's nothing, I just wanted to make sure that thing was dead." Noah chuckled. "A point blank shot from my sniper rifle would get it good. Your a pansy, ain't cha?" Austin lowered his head and took a step forward. "Who are you calling a pansy, huh? I'm the one who took on that Rajanu creature!" Austin looked at Noah has he laughed more. "After some difficulty and forcing from what I heard." If Noah wasn't trapped inside of Archiere, it is more then likely he would be smiling now, watching Austin be humiliated. Evan anxiously picked up the microphone from The Mans seat. "Thi-this isn't the time to be fooling around. That thing... It's not..." Evan began to tremble, tears forming in his eyes. "Evan? Why are you on the coms channel?" Austin asked suspiciously. He felt Noah touch his shoulder. His voice went from amused to dark and gloomy"Austin... what that young man was trying to say is..." And before Noah could finish Roots shout out of the ground and impaled every jet, stabbing and taking the people out of all of them. Their bodies where thrown on the ground and the fluid was taken out of the corpses, making them wrinkled and lifeless. Austin and Noah rolled to their sides and pulled out their signature weapons, ready to fire at the Green monster. What they looked at wasn't normal. The monster threw it's torso back, it's skin began to peel like a caterpillar turning into a chrysalis. The head split first, pink ooze leaking from it like a faulty sewage pipe. The skin underneath was white, it's eye going from yellow to pink. A large circle surrounded it's neck, causing the original head to fall off like snake skin. The circle whirled and opened up, launching cherry blossoms everywhere, revealing it to be petals. The monster gave off a loud feminine screech as it's torso ripped open, revealing it's new body. It's arms finally gave in and cracked, snapping off as the roots attached to them withered up and curled, dying. It's arms began to regrow, now with huge flower buds for hands. The roots underneath it grew in size drastically, flailing around and almost hitting the two Assault Units. It's torso was small now, and the monster flung it's body forwards, beginning to bulk up and grow in size. As it grew petals began to sprout out of it's torso, forming a dress. It reached a towering height, outclassing any Assault Unit, now or to come. The creature looked down at Guerrier and Archiere. Evan fell to the ground, dropping the microphone and scaring Noah and Austin beyond belief. Evan pointed at the screen, soldiers and scientists flocking around. "That... that thing.... it's nearly 600 meters..." Evan chocked and backed up. He pressed against the railing and pulled himself up. "No way..."He stumbled towards the microphone on the floor. The sirens began flashing as the two mecha began unleashing fire upon Ceres. The monster blocked their fire and continued on attacking. A root shot into Archiere's left arm and another was shot into a pre existing hole on Guerrier's torso. The root wrapped around and began strangling the mecha, suddenly taking effect on Austin. Guerrier dropped it's assault rifle and began grabbing at the roots, though they would not move. It extended farther, dangling in Austins face. It pointed towards his left side of Guerrier's visor and shot through, breaking out the other side of his head. Austin reared back in pain as the root pulled back into his head. Austin realized it was looking for him. The root pulled back into the entry room, pointing itself at Austin who couldn't move. At that moment, Noah blasted his shotgun at the beast, ripping the root off in quick blast of light. Distracted by the other assault unit, Ceres shot more roots at Archiere, and used another one to wrap up Guerrier, rendering him unmovable. Ceres turned it's attention to Noah, currently being lifted in the air. Ceres leaned forward and it's eye began to light up, firing a solar beam from it. Archiere became badly burnt, it's cape now completely destroyed. The crest on it's head has cracked and snapped, as well as the glass on it's face suddenly breaking off, revealing the camera eyes. Noah struggled to move, armored plating falling off of his arms. He grunted and made gagging noises, an obvious sign he was seriously hurt. Noah's body, inside of Archiere, began to puke. Vomit and blood began to slowly flow from his stomach up to his throat, where it stayed due to his inactive body. Some of it shot up into his teeth, where a little bit of it leaked out. It continued pushing out. "SIR, NOAH'S VITAL SIGNS ARE LOW! DEACTIVATE THE UNIT!" a medical officer said, speaking to Oliver. "R-right." He said, heart thrashing as he pressed the button, causing the head piece to be lifted. Noah woke up with a shock, the pain slowly subsiding from his nerves. He quickly regurgitated onto the floor of the room as the mech was slowly swayed from side to side, all the while being bobbed up and down. Several pieces of shrapnel had been lodged in his body, one almost got to his heart, another was stuck in his knee cap. He slowly lifted the one near his heart away, grateful to find it was stopped by his rib cage and his lungs nor heart where damaged. He threw it on the floor and leaned forward, suddenly feeling more pain from his leg as he threw up again. "Nothin'..." he wiped some throw up away from his mouth. "...the doctors ain't gonna fix.." Noah sat back down, just as Archiere was dropped to the ground. Noah was now on the back wall, vomit on his pants. Outside, Guerrier has already began firing at Ceres. Austin reloaded his rifle again, not noticing that Archiere had fallen. A pile of tangled roots lay down on the ground, tangled up until a point where they where singed and gunpowder stains where visible, implying they where blown apart at close range. Austin reached for another magazine but was shocked to find he had emptied all of his ammo. He reached for his hand gun but one of Ceres's roots slapped him and caused him to drop, his gun went rolling down the streets. It was at this point that Austin saw the damage done to Archiere. He began to get up but got hit again. He tried once more before having his face pushed into the ground, shattering the rest of his visor. Guerrier slammed it's palms into the ground, slowly bushing itself up before more vines slammed down onto the mecha and wrapped around it, pulling Austin towards Ceres as they twisted and tightened, making the mecha splinter and snap. The vines lifted it up to Ceres's face, Austin stared deeply into it. "I swear to god I will kill you..."Ceres leaned it's head closer, staring directly back, the two lines of sight unbreaking. Austin was squeezed again. "That's right... keep giving me ideas..."

The Man was sat at a table with everyone in head of the divisions, all except Food, Engineering, and Communications. The head of Creature Classifications stood up. "This new threat is very troublesome. It seems to have undergone some sort of metamorphosis." Head of Science stood up next. "A plant undergoing metamorphosis? That's ludicrous! Plants grow, like mammals or fish or even avians! That thing grew, and it grew fast. Too fast. I say we need to destroy it immediately. Something like that's dangerous." The Head of Creature Classifications stood up again. " I would be inclined to agree with you, but we need to preserve this creature. For all we know it's one of a kind. We could study it's habit of growing and use it against any other monsters like it." the Head of Science sighed. "Why where UFO chasing junkies like you even hired for this job? You obviously aren't fit for it. Hell, you all probably still believe in Bigfoot!" The Head of CC was going to object to that but decided to let the issue rest and sat down. After thirty seconds of silence, the other Head sat down as well. The Man stood up and began to address the actual issue. "That's not what we where here for. We are making room and notifying every about Yuki Urahara. We already decided she would be moved to this facility in the last meeting but we never decided what to properly due with her." The man pressed a button on a small remote sitting next to him and a profile portrait of a young Japanese woman appeared. Above the portrait text displaying "Yuki Urahara" was shown, and to it's right was her personal information.

Noah began to crawl his way over to the seat, which was now roughly 5 feet in the air on the other side of the room. Without thinking right, he placed his knee on the ground, only to be reminded painfully he had a large hunk of shrapnel in it. He turned over and remembered there was a medical pack placed on the back wall in case of emergencies, and was glad to find it mostly intact, with the exception of the lid being opened due to the fall. A couple of bandages where also scattered and thrown around the floor near him, but he payed no attention to that. He crawled his way closer to the box. "Just... keep... argh!" He dropped his knee again. He was closer now, and decided to pull it out for it was a nuisance. Albeit met with pain, Noah crawled on until he managed to make it to the kit. at the very bottom of it, as he thought, was the needle. Next to it, a bottle of modern medicine, capable of healing wounds such as his in no time, and relieving pain quickly. He stabbed the syringe into the cork, letting the blue liquid flow into it, before taking it out. Noah took a few deep breaths. He had never been to fond of needles. He found fast acting numbing gel and applied it. a minute later he impaled the syringe into his arm, his wounds quickly regenerating as the pain began to vanish. Noah got up and ran towards the chair, climbing onto it and pulling the head gear from the ceiling. He placed it on his head. Archiere started up, it's camera eyes rolling around. Noah picked up his sniper rifle and stood up, using it as support. He loaded an incendiary bullet into it and aimed at the occupied Ceres, who was playing around with Guerrier like a rag doll. Noah shot it straight at the monsters eye, but missed due to his damaged arms and currently non existent aiming help. The bullet landed right next to it and prompted the creature to turn it's attention away, mid way through stretching Austins arms. It threw him down, while raising it's arm and blasting a small seed into Guerriers neck. The mecha landed in a bad posture, causing one of it's legs to twist until broken and impaling it on a nearby building. Austin screamed bloody murder.
