I woke up to the sound of sirens, dido and sirius jumped up “Master, you need to get out of here, err…” she fumbled around in her bag she first had when she got there, and handed me a map of the city, a red circle on in “here… there is a bunker there, show them the card on the back, there let you in” sirius quickly put her clothes back on, as so did dido

“What's happening?” I asked

“Mistress, the sirens are attacking” said sirius, then both maids ran out. I sat up in my bed, blinking a few times before realising what was going on, I quickly jumped out of bed

“shit… I need to help people get out of there” I say as I run out

In Liverpool port

I ran quickly to the port, a crowd of people running away.

Bombs were falling, lasers and shells firing, it was chaotic, I ran as close to the water as I could, hoping to see more

And I wish I didn't… it wasn't going well, the forces were scattered and struggling to regroup, luckily no one was too far from a group so there were no easy pickings.

With the queen

“Does anyone have eyes on that new siren elite?” I called out over the short-range radio. There was a jammer somewhere, and I bet that new siren elite is it

“No my queen, she disappears the moment the ironblood and sukra empire kansens left to escort there diplomats out of the combat area” said warspite, she had a keen eye, so if she lost track of them that was no good

“Agh, this is not good. Where is the nearest group, we need to link up with everyone to organise a fashionable defence” I saw warspite about to respond, no doubt able? to agree with me, but illustrious interrupted her

“My queen, I spotted the siren elite, it's in the port” By god, what was it doing there

Back with alexandra

It wasn't that hard to see witch was the main force, it was a fleet that rallied around the HMS Queen Elizabeth, I couldn't name any of the other kansens, I only remember her because she was In a book I read.

My fox ears twitched, as I heard some air move of to my left, it sounded like a sword being swung, I managed to side step to the right just in time to avoided a downward strike that breaks the concrete below

“Log, anomaly animal features provided by the installation of a wisdomcube are not cosmetic, they do function” says a 5ft women, with pale skin, white hair, and piss yellow eyes

“Who are you?” I ask, the women lifts her sword off the ground

“I am experimental close quarters combat unit 001 and you have been selected for my first live test” Great, it seems these sirens also only see me as a test subject

“I see. Shouldn't I get a weapon to make this a fair test?” I ask. The siren jabbed her sword towards me, I had to jump backwards to avoid a quick end

“Test parameters, find the anomaly and destroy it, nothing states it has to be a fair test” the siren said as she swung her sword horizontally at me… again forcing me to jump back out of its way

I looked around for anything to defend myself with, as I scanned around, able to find a bit of broken rebar, on her next swing I rolled over to the rebar and picked it up “agh, this is gonna kill my hands” I said.

The siren went for an overhead strike, I decided to change up the tempo and went low, bringing up am rebar ‘sword’ to deflect the blade, the sword came down and hit the rebar, what I didn't expect was it to get stuck in it, I used my size difference to attempt to over power her, witch I manages to do, I stood up and flung my rebar to a building, sending her into it as she dropped her sword I decided to throw the rebar as far away as possible hoping that she won't get it back any time soon and levelling the playing field

“Error, under-estimate anomaly resourcefulness, unit has been disarmed, attempting to..” she was saying before I punched her in the face,

“Critical desync to sensory equipment, attempting to…” I then punched her in the stomach, I heard something crack, she keeled forward a bit before I uppercutted her “sensory overload, attempting to conpu” I kneed her in the stomach, aa it caved inwards, the robot siren lady looked confused

“Critical damage sustained, exempting to escape” and with those words she punched me, I stumble back only to see her bolt away

By the time I got myself prepared to chase her, she was long gone. I growled and turned back to the ocean to see a siren standing over dido… MY DIDO

In a blacksite somewhere

The halls flashed red, a siren being heard through the building, an alert going to everyone's pager

‘Emergence’

‘Containment failure imminent’

Mr. Lee ran alongside the boss to the science division just as the whole building shook, unsteading the two. Once they regained their balance, they ran to the observation area

“what's going on jones” asked Mr. Lee to the head scientist

“Sir, the cubes has breached primary containment, and secondary is about to go down” as he said that, the building shook, when they looked though the glass they could see a tube in the middle of the room, that has been shattered, the wisdom cube slammed into the wall causing a big dent

“Turn the limiters to overdrive, draw as much power as you can, do not let it escape” said the boss

“We have, we are giving the limiters as much power as we can, the cube doesn't look phazed” said Jones, the cube pulled back to hit the concrete, the boss grabbed the speaker to the talkie system throughout the base.

“ALL PERSONAL, HIT THE DECK” he yelled as the cube hit the wall, breaching the wall, flying through several walls behind it

“Jones, what's that way?” Asked Mr Lee

“The docks” he replied
