S2 Chapter 11: Tower Defense

Shou comes flying like a bullet, punching off the head of a humanoid bot. Heracles follows up on throwing his Master by grabbing a nearby rectangular transport bot and swinging it around, thrashing a number of cube bots attempting to subdue him.

"We're almost at the park! We need to break through!" Shou yells, while dodging the fists of a humanoid bot.

Nero comes in and slashes the robot at its knee causing it to kneel, allowing Shou to grapple its head and pop it off using his enhancement magic. The massive ship that had stationed itself in the city park now had become more of a tower that's projecting it's blue light, the surrounding robots have begun to shift from abductions to defensive measures.

At this point, through sheer force and numbers, 90 percent of the city's population had been taken. Ozymandias and company had been captured after fighting the continuous onslaught of robots unbeknownst to Shou and the servants that accompanied him.

Making it into the city park, where the rolling hills of luscious grass once was, is now a sci fi wonderland complete with white pulsing light up walls, a ludicrous amount of cables of questionable use and placement, and most notably at the center of it all was the grand staircase up to the base of the tower. Humanoid robots in particular lined the steps awaiting action, and the triangular robots hovered about with all sights on Shou's servants.

"What a grand display of art and technology! Whoever made this has a good eye for beauty! Umu!" Nero says incapable of hiding her awe.

Caster," If we managed to capture this, we could sell it to the association for some big money."

"Nah, we're busting this thing up," Shou begins to walk up the steps, his fists ready.

Surprisingly the robots don't engage, Heracles follows from behind keeping an eye out for any sudden movements.

Puht. Phut. Phut.

Footsteps clap upon the hard flooring from above, Shou stops as he's midway through the staircase with Caster and Nero. Heracles springing into action charges up the steps, the robots still keeping at bay.

"Raaaagh!" The behemoth shouts, readying his fist to punch whatever was at the top of the staircase into oblivion.

At the final step Heracles begins his assault, landing his first hit, and then a second, becoming his standard fare of destruction. The top step and surrounding floor being blown up in the process, Shou and the ladies accompanying him brace down below for any signs of struggle. The Caster of Midrash is using her wind magic to protect them from debris. After half a minute of thrashing about, Heracles goes flying from the top of the steps, crashing down into the ground just beneath Shou.

The robots all stand and begin playing some fanfare anthem and the footsteps continue before revealing a man standing in the smoke and debris menacingly.

"Huh, so you're the bastard responsible for this? Time to say your prayers to whatever god you believe in." Shou cracks his knuckles and continues up the steps. Nero and Caster address each other in silence following in their Master's stead.

"I am Lord Charlamantine! Address me as such! Master of this rundown city, submit and offer your servants now if you wish to live another day!" Shouts the invader, his salt and peppered hair waving elegantly in the gentle winds of the park in conjunction with his dark blue cape that drapes over his futuristic jet black armor.

"No."

"Very well. Fall here and now! In her name, to the Great Global Conqueror!"

Heracles getting back up lets out a mighty roar jumping into action, Nero and Caster making use of Heracles go in for attacks of their own while Shou continues his ascension, buffing himself with his enhancement techniques.
