As the rain poured down on Malevelon Creek, Helldiver Atom and his team landed on the jungle-like planet. They were on a mission to push back the invasion of robotic creatures known as Automatons. Atom, with his black and orange armor, led his team of three - Xeno in black and red, Panther in purple and blue, and Max in orange and white. They were all skilled Helldivers, trained to fight in any environment and conditions.

They had been fighting for hours, the sound of artillery and laser weapons filling the air. The ground was littered with craters and burns from the intense battle. Atom and his team had managed to hold their ground, taking down numerous Automatons with their advanced weapons and skills.

But as the night wore on, the Automatons seemed to become stronger and more advanced. Xeno and his squad fought bravely, but one by one, they were gunned down by the relentless robotic creatures. Atom watched in horror as his best friend Dark was struck by an artillery blast, his body being torn apart. He could feel his heart breaking as he saw his team being wiped out.

Atom himself was wounded, his arm busted from a blast. He knew he couldn't take on the Automatons alone. He needed to exfil and regroup. With a heavy heart, he called for an evacuation. But before the ship could arrive, it was destroyed by the powerful weapons of the Automatons. Atom was now cut off from any means of escape, surrounded by the enemy.

With determination, Atom continued to fight, taking down as many Automatons as he could. But he knew it was a losing battle. Without his team by his side, he was outnumbered and outmatched. Slowly, he watched as the Automatons closed in on him, their weapons charging up for a final attack.

As Atom lay on the ground, wounded and exhausted, he couldn't help but think about his team and the sacrifices they had made in this mission. He closed his eyes, ready to face his fate.

But then, in a moment of luck, a sudden explosion rocked the area, causing the Automatons to scatter. Atom looked up to see the exfil ship had returned, piloted by Max. With a sense of relief, Atom crawled towards the ship and was pulled inside by Max.

As they flew away from the planet, Atom could only think of his fallen comrades and the bravery they had shown in the face of death. He promised to never forget them and to continue their fight against the menacing Automatons. "For Democracy, For Freedom, For Super Earth" Atom Chanted Before He Passed Out.
