Darth Vader stormed into the Command Center followed by Princess Azula and Lord Megatron stomped in, flanked by their personal guard. General Ironwood straightened from leaning over the command counsel and turned to face them. He had a feeling the Sith Lord and his allies wanted news on how the operation was going. Unfortunately, Ironwood had nothing to report. Interference from the sudden storm in the area cut off any communications from Starscream as well as the extra spike in radiation. It was taking longer to receive information. He needed to stall for time until he had something to report.
"Lord Vader, Princess Azula, Lord Megatron," he greeted, trying to sound in control. "I'm awaiting further information on the operation. Final confirmation of the Kaiju's death should be coming-"
"We do not need your report," Darth Vader boomed at him loudly. "The Kaiju has already escaped your trap."
Ironwood looked aghast. How could they possibly know that? This had to be a trick. A test to see how he would react to such a situation. He did his best to keep his composure.
"Lord Vader, I highly doubt it could've freed itself," he insisted. "Just because it is taking longer for Commander Starscream to report-"
"We are not mistaken, General," Azula declared. "We have sensed his escape through the Force. He is free of the quarry but not of his own hand."
Ironwood stared at them, wide-eyed, trying to see if they were joking or messing with him. None of them were. In fact, they looked enraged. Ironwood was afraid he was about to learn Jacques's lesson. That a lightsaber was going to stab him in the chest, or a fusion cannon or even a blast of fire was going to reduce him to ash. Instead, the Sith Lord stood there as his allies showed various forms of anger on their faces. So, Ironwood asked his question. If Alpha Predator One hadn't escaped on his own, that left only one explanation.
"Are you saying the Rebels helped him?"
"Worse," Megatron replied. "The Alien Kaiju that invaded Remnant before have returned and attacked the quarry. After that, both groups of Kaiju Girls have joined together under Alpha Predator One and the Rebels are following the Kaiju's wake."
"Following?" Ironwood paled. "Are you saying that Alpha Predator One is coming here? With an army of Kaiju?"
None of them answered that, but Azula simply raised an eyebrow at him, telling him everything. This was it then. Their last stand. That monster would come here with his army and destroy all their work and then the Rebels would mop up what was left. Composing himself, he stood at attention before them.
"What are your orders?" he asked readily.
"We've already ordered more AT-ATs down to the surface, along with special walkers held in reserve." Lord Vader said simply.
Azula spoke next. "Contact all Imperial Forces and relocate them here in Atlas and Mantle. We shall hold this kingdom and facility no matter the cost."
"Star Destroyers are on their way and I have already instructed Shockwave and Dr. Boll to finish final preparations on the Zillo Beast prototype immediately," Megatron said. "Shredder is preparing the psychic connection to one of the Kaiju Girls."
Ironwood looked back in surprise. They were considering unleashing the Zillo-Beast and the Godzilla clones on Alpha Predator One? That seemed to be a drastic measure. Not to mention potentially costly if it failed.
"Are you certain of this?" he asked, trying not to sound like he disagreed with the plan.
"With all the Kaiju coming, yes. We are certain." Azula said coldly. "Especially if all else fails."
