Megas of Mars

Chapter 1

At New Jersey Junkyard, Jersey City, Earth

"Coop, just because my alternate counterpart was able to pilot a mech, it doesn't mean I can do the same."

Jamie grumbled in the cockpit with basic controls as he tried his best to read the manual and understand the instructions of the new war mech with appearance of a UFO with jet fighters and tanks for arms and legs which was given to him. He recognized it as R.E.C.R. or the "Reverse Engineered Collective Robot" from Area 50 that Coop had woken it up, beaten it at Las Vegas and then buried it in the Grand Canyon. Except that his best friend had the bright idea to do his own brand of reverse engineering on the defective US Army mech after digging it out from its burial site and reprogram it to be a good guy when replacing its so-called "superior" 56 Kilobyte Processor.

It was way too easy for a piece of cake for Coop to the point of hilarity.

And to solve the energy draining issue is to install a Hyperthrust Fusion Engine and the Mark-VII Inversion Thrusters salvaged from one of the Glorft mech wreckages that were left piling on the junkyard. Of course, it still retains the ability to absorb energy and power itself up for maximum boost.

"No worries, comrade! No worries, comrade! I will assist you! I will assist you!", the ball-shaped droid enthusiastically repeated with a male patriotic tone and a flap of its ears as R.E.C.R.'s reprogrammed Artificial Intelligence is stationed on the round terminal of the cockpit.

"Thanks, Sgt. Haro.", Jamie muttered with an irritated eye twitch after giving it a more suitable nickname.

If only it sounded cute and adorable to match with its appearance, Jamie would have found it endearing. But this one sounds more like a stereotypical patriotic man which it feels very jarring. On the bright side at least, R.E.C.R. is no longer going on a rampage to "destroy the enemy" which is basically everything and everyone in its path.

"Yeah, no worries Jamie. I modified this robot and Sgt. Haro for you so you can pilot it without problems and you will get the hang of it in no time. After all, think of it like a video game with an assistant.", Coop reassured from the car head of his new and more powerful Megas from another dimension that he claimed it from his evil counterpart.

The remains of his old Megas was left behind in the alternate dimension that is free from Evil Coop's reign of terror and destruction that left nothing but complete and utter ruin. Considering the now empty state of his evil self's fortress, Coop can already tell that Alternate Jamie and his resistance people have moved in as their new base to make themselves at home and rebuild their world from scratch.

While Evil Coop and Evil Kiva are most likely suffering a fate worse than death when they're stuck in between dimensions after being forced to retreat right into a trap sprung by Alternate Jamie who was waiting for the signal to act.

They got what they deserve though and they will stay there that way for a long, long time.

The skinny young man with black hair raised an eyebrow but relented, "Thanks, Coop. To be honest, I didn't expect that I will be piloting a giant robot combiner with a patriotic computer by my side since that fiasco with the Ultra-Cadets. Where did you get this ball by the way?"

"It's from one of my Drones that was left relatively intact after Coop here broke them in our first meeting. The Haros are the brain cores that allow them to function and fight by themselves, and also follow my orders even though they like to repeat words two times. That Haro containing Wrecker inside is the only one intact.", Kiva called out from her CMDR-KA mech's head whose unique cockpit that allows her to connect it with the back of her neck had been repaired by Coop.

When the old Megas rendered it out of commission with a German Suplex move, her old robot has been left abandoned in the Jersey junkyard and was deeply buried within its large piles of junk trash to conceal its size and presence from anyone especially Goat himself from noticing it. Due to lacking the compatible parts needed for the CMDR-KA, it was left unrepaired until now.
