Colonel, in his commlink, ordered Storm Owl to fire upon what used to be Magma Dragoon.
Storm Owl: But sir! What about the monuments?
Colonel: Do what I say Owl!
Storm Owl: Y-Yes.. Colonel.
Storm Owl faced all guns towards the creature, firing a volley of plasma missiles at it. The creature roared in anger and in retaliation, fired a stream of fire from its mouth. Storm Owl's ship was heavily damaged and had to do an emergency crash landing. Storm Owl and his crew all survived, but was now the creature's attention. The creature slowly marched towards the downed ship. Fenrir and Colonel ran after the creature, Fenrir created multiple clones to slice at the leg joints whilst Colonel fired waves of energy from his saber. The creature noticed their attack and swept its tail: knocking the two away.
Colonel: Rgghh... Commlink busted from that swipe.
Fenrir Lunaedge: Same here boss.
Storm Owl, noticing the creature is now focused on Fenrir and Colonel, fired an emergency flare from the ship. He wanted to get the others' attention, but he was angered when fireworks were being shot out at the sametime.
Storm Owl: Rggghh.. Stupid humans, sending fireworks for what occasion?! Hopefully the rest of Repliforce got my distress flare.
Storm saw his men and gritted his teeth
Storm Owl: Men,take whatever anti vehicle, anti air, anti whatever weapon with us: We're gonna slay us a dragon.
Spino walked through the crowded streets of Cairo with Jellyroid, focusing on his digital watch built into him.
Mauve the Jellyroid: Have you seen the fireworks? What do you think they're celebrating?
Thundervolt Spino: Dunno and I don't care.
Mauve the Jellyroid: Anything on your mind? You've been staring at that clock for as long as this mission for searching Dragoon.
Thundervolt Spino: Checking if my clocks are off.
Mauve the Jellyroid: All of our clocks are geo synced so any errors would be corrected by maintenance.
Thundervolt Spino: I know.
Spino continued to mess with the clock, making Jellyroid curious. So she grabbed his arm forcefully to look at the clock herself.
Thundervolt Spino: Christ Mauve! Anymore force and you'll rip my arm off.
Mauve scrolled through the clock and saw a picture of Spino just enlisting into Repliforce.
Mauve the Jellyroid: Ooo, you and Dragoon were buds?
Spino ripped his arm away from Mauve's death grip and turned off his clock. The two continued to walk and they turned into an alleyway.
Thundervolt Spino: He introduced me to Repliforce. Before I joined, I was a demeaning maintenance reploid. I tell ya, you repair electrical wiring and systems and you're treated like dirt: they barely pay you and any raise in your voice gets you threatened by the Maverick Hunters. So one day, I was able to sneak my way into a Repliforce recruitment office and, well, I met him.
Mauve the Jellyroid: And from your record, you sparred with him. You lost, but Dragoon was impressed with your potential that you were let in.
Spino nodded and grinned, being proud of his decision, then grimaced, remembering Dragoons 'death' report.
Thundervolt Spino: When Valkyrie made that report and showed their bodies from Poppies assault: I was horrified. I didn't think no Maverick could do such a thing.
