You and Chun-li follow a worrying trail of carnage through the town until you finally arrive at the location of the attack. A large robotic soldier is surrounded by several of the weaker mooks you batted away yesterday. You quickly transform into your armour. "Be careful Chun, I don't know what tricks that thing has up its sleeve."

"A large opponent to be certain, but my resolve is greater still." Chun adopts her idle stance and prepares for the enemy to charge. You don't want to pull any of the other girls out here if you don't have to. The enemy foot soldiers are quick to turn on you and charge. Luckily for you they haven't gotten much smarter or more skilled in combat since you last faced them.

Even with your aching body you find it almost trivial to bat them away, though you try to keep some of Chun's good habits in mind while doing so. You square up your feet and swing your hips, delivering some amateurish blows that knock four of them for a loop. Chun leaps over the head of her first assailant, using his head as a stepping stone to deliver a bone crushing kick to the soldier behind him. She uses a barrage of rapid kicks to hold back a unified attack from two others, each blow lands like a gunshot, sending out a loud impact sound that rings in your ears.

As she turns, she grabs a soldier's arm as they swing and wrenches it, sending them tumbling onto the floor with a theatrical front flip. She doesn't take any time to rest, her hands glow with a blue energy, before she flings a fierce fireball that engulfs one of the enemies and sends them flying. With their assault having failed to deter you both, the still conscious soldiers retreat behind the drone that Mitsuru was describing.

The previous drone was merely a pile of compacted dirt driven by the strange power of the glowing purple rocks that now powered your own weapons. This one is visibly more composed. It still glows with the same energy, shining bright through the bolted seams. The internal mechanics can be seen through a hole in its chest.

"Chun, can you handle that thing?"

"I believe so. But rushing in now would be foolish."

As if to prove her point, a large cannon flips outwards from its arm. You duck for cover as a blast of purple energy erupts from the barrel and flies towards you. Chun deftly backflips away from the attack, flashing her lovely thighs and tight underwear in the process. She closes the gap at an incredible speed and delivers a series of punishing kicks to the robotic giant's leg. She manages to dent the metal armour, but otherwise doesn't seem to be capable of damaging it for real.

You lean over the car and fire the sledgehammer, bracing it against the roof. The shots are much more effective than Chun's kicks, opening gaping holes in the metal plating and sending the monster reeling. Chun changes her plan of attack in response. Her entire body glows with a supernatural energy, and her rapid kicks become even faster. Her body turns into nothing more than a blur as the metal is shredded and torn away, revealing the whirring internals of the mechanical leg.

Chun swings around and delivers one final blow, shattering the circuitry and cogs to pieces and scattering them across the street. The monster, unable to support its own weight, falls down to one knee. Sensing an opportunity, you use your enhanced agility to leap over the car and sprint at it. You hop up onto the bent limb and clamber up over its back. The beast tries to swipe you away with little success. Its red, circular eyes stare at you without emotion as you point your gun down into its exposed chest cavity and pull the trigger.

Sparks and fire explode forth from inside the metal container. You jump away and land next to the still posed Chun-Li. You aren't cool, so you stand and watch as the giant explodes into a fireball, before falling to the ground defeated. As the noise finally dies down, you notice that the enemy soldiers have already fled.
