Carolina raises her plasma rifle at the drones. "Alright. Me first." 

The army of Tex drones charge. Carolina fires her rifles at the approaching army, mowing down the first several drones.

"Watch your left!" Epsilon shouts. 

Carolina looks to her left and flips backwards, dodging a drone's attack, dropping her rifles and pulls out her shotgun. A drone flies at her with a flying kick but Carolina blasts it out of the air with her shotgun. She lunges forwards, leaping off the top of the heads of several drones and into the fray. She lands on another drone and skids across the ground on it as she proceeds to blast the surrounding robots.

"Uh, I think I'm gonna be sick!" Church says nauseously. 

Carolina backflips off the drone she was standing on, flash kicking another. The other drones attack her but she manages to hold her own and blow them away with her shotgun. Finally, one of the drones punches her gun out of her hands and Carolina switches to hand to hand combat. She takes out another three and throws the fourth into a nearby crate. The crate is dented by the impact, and the one stacked on top of it falls to the ground. It splits open, revealing its cargo of frag grenades. They spill over the floor, tripping over several drones. Carolina rolls away and regains her footing. She looks down, and kicks a grenade up, and into a approaching drone. Carolina then pulls out her grappling gun and fires at the grenade. She twirls the grenade around, the metal sphere taking out several more drones. She then slams the grenade into the ground, detonating it and causing the other grenades to explode, sending even more of the robots flying. Out of the flames, a drone leaps forward.

"Watch out!" Epsilon shouts. The drone rams Carolina, sending her flying and causing her to lose her grappling gun. She gets up on one knee.

"Could you be a little more specific?" Carolina snarls getting to her feet. 

"Yeah, uh, sorry, Carolina, but, seeing this many ex-girlfriends in one room kinda has me terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought." 

"Well, snap out of it! I need you!" 

"Need me for-WOAH!" Epsilon yells before Carolina activated her speed unit. 

"Church!" 

"Right, right!" 

Carolina sprints to the end of the room, and spins around, taking out more drones.

"Carolina, I don't think I can do this much longer!" Church warns her. 

"Just hold on!" 

"Seriously! You need to slow down!" 

"No! I can do this!" 

She dashes back in and engages the drones. With her speed boost, she begins tearing through the oncoming drones. Carolina furiously smashes through the robots, ignoring Church. 

"Carolina! Stop!" Epsilon begs. 

Carolina charges forwards in an attempt to just plow through all the drones.

"Carolina, calm down!" 

Carolina stumbles out of the crowd of drones and rolls forward before regaining her footing and charging toward another group of robots.

"Get a hold of yourself!" 

Carolina leaps past the drones but but is clothlined by one near the back and is sent flying into a crate before hitting the ground. Exhausted, she tries to get up. 

"Come on, get up!" Church urges her. 

"She was right...I can't do this. I can't beat her. I could never beat her." Carolina sighs standing wearily.
