RUSHMORE POV

Those Atlas guys are differently taking the Beatin' but seemly to refuse to fall until their last breath. they strong yes, but we, The CC, always be one step ahead of them.

Rushmore:"They're taking heavily damaged, however refuse to surrender, agree Mr. Richthofen?"

Richthofen:"Why yes, surprisingly my America friend well prepared for Price own army Nexus task force, but to my surprised. There's someone in there according to CC's satellite."

Rushmore:"Must say...Ain't isn't possible they-

Richthofen:"No, remember I told you about universe breakout?" *Rushmore:"What do you- oh...I see. It's an problem then."* "Very problem that can't be ignore, my team are working on it, this is a crisis..." as leader of scientist chat to computer, their chat was cut off as six grunt quickly report to their expedition.

Before they could replied to their CEO and AI. We must know to be these people or mostly on the term of "grunts." But however, 2BDamned getting those grunts from Madness universe. Requested to aid CC's army. Theses grunt are named Hazard-Zero

HZ grunt:"Sir! Our expedition team has found greatly recourses to expand. As well this seemly odd thing Mr. Zane and FL4K found. However there were some additional problems with our crew." *Richthofen:"Problems?"* "They're feeling a bit crazy for odd reason, Zane whom in commander force them to pull out, an result of abandoned expedition, We do not know what causing them."

Richthofen:"Zane wish not wanting any casualties occur. As well an item they found. Give it to me."

Hazard-zero gives an unknown artifact, an double-helix shaped obelisks. Leader scientist examines before he looked at Doc's grunts.

Richthofen:"You may leave, and the full team of moron here? We're waiting for them."

Hazard-zero nodded and went back they came from. Rushmore speak with unsure tone.

Rushmore:"Are you sure this might work? Project 'Zero-Sphere' is consider unstable machine CC ever built, it could fail at any moment!" *Richthofen:"It will work, scientist checked every day, engineer did some improvement to prevent any failure occur."* "I hope so..."

Ring, ring, ring-

An large hologram screen appeared front of Rushmore, Richthofen.

???:"This is Ironwoods, is (Y/n) available today?" *Richthofen:"I'm afraid not, Mr. Ironwoods. I'm Richthofen you're speaking to, he isn't available today."* "Oh, my apologize." General spoke with sorrowful matter. But returned his normal tone. "But I called for an reason is bring bad and good news."

Richthofen:"How's the news Mr. Ironwood?"

Ironwood:"Good news is Ace-Ops has managed to infiltrate Atlas with help of NTF, however those called Atlas has an same names to us, trying to fame our reputation. I've already disliked to this false organization. As we speak about Ace-Ops, they got...an odd coordinate of some kind of universe location. Our technology is beyond our understanding."

Rushmore:"Coordinates? Wait wait wait. You're saying those guys has universe's coordinates? To what?" Rushmore wished to unheard what Ironwood said, but with unlike, words of believe.

Ironwood:"If I speak with truth, They're planning to takeover universe and claim it as their universe, this is unacceptable." He reported his comments, Rushmore grown anger at Atlas schemes. Richthofen tell AI to calm.

Richthofen:"Remain calm Mr. Rush we will halt their progression of takeover, so bad new?"

Ironwood:"Bad news is Ace-Ops couldn't find the file that contains info, They know we were coming. But they will continue on the search once they got something. I got nothing else to say, but we could already take a guess, this war will be larger than we can expected, I already sent bullhead to come over and give the file to you. I will surveillance over the battle of Atlas base, please take care of yourself. CEO scientist." Hologram Screen disappeared, Rush didn't enjoy about the news.

Rushmore:"Unbelievable, this is madness! Those name 'Atlas' trying to takeover?!"

Richthofen:"As I said, CC will stop them, just wait. Now with the artifact, I felt weirdly odd, what I can describe is calm and hopeful with the soul. I will notify miss Patricia about this, she'll be glad to study and observe."

Right he finished his sentence double-helix shaped obelisks begin to luminescence the color blue, not too bright. emitting quietly.

Player POV

*ATATATAT!*

Player:"Ain't ya pain the ass!"

Immediately learned the control of the Goliath. I continually shooting at two Goliath suit, blocking with their metallic hands, as Commander behind cover. Calls for reinforce with a angrily tone.

???:"BACKUP NOW! WE GOT AN INTRUDER TRYING TO ESCAPE WITH INTEL!"

And he wasn't having it, kept shooing at them, mini-gun immediately went overheat, preventing to shoot. I only said with "Shit" seeing hostile Goliath returned fire with their mini-gun. Ran away from incoming fire.

Goliath enemy:"Atlas can't be beaten, we will stand tall and eliminate our enemy! You are be the first!"

Player:"Who knows!"

*ATATATATA!*

Painfully, two Goliath had me outmatch, I need to escape before reinforcements come, but I really hope something miracle happen to me. If I ever doubt myself.

???:"Surrender now!" *Player:"How about fuck off!"* "HRG!"

Meanwhile...

POV Philly

I can't believe Atlas are fighting hardly like they're kept something good in their base, however they won't hold it forever.

*BANG!*

Grunt I am, human ain't got enough to take me out, despite this I choose CC side due to good intentions what they can bring in the table, Atlas they called aren't.

???:"H-Hey Philly?" *Philly:"Yeah Sammi, Needed somethin?"* "After this...Can w-we get something t-to eat?" Sammi friend who got turned into a MAG by blunder accident. Thanks to CC who try their best to revert him normal didn't work, I respect them they try. Sammi bio appeared when I looked him.

Yes he has some depression due his form, but I don't care if he look like this. He's my ally, despite the transformation, he still us. I really hate seeing him depressed.

Philly:"Sure buddy." Replied with Matter kind. "I'll get something to eat." Sammi reply with an smile on his grunt face, just I wanted. Before I see more hostile Atlas approaching. But they bought their own tank.

<Three hover tank>

Philly:"Shit, they sent out their own hover tank." An act of haste he tuned to the comms to Yuri who led the NTF force army. <Yuri! We apparently got couple hover-tanks! We could use something to counter!>

Yuri:<Guessing we were force to use "Good" Atlas to aid us, Ironwoods! Is there any way to sent some support?>

Yuri already contacted Ironwood hear his pled, agreed to support NTF.

Ironwood:<Already sent to your battlefield, Five Atlesian Paladin-290 are being carried by CC drop off ship. Take the battle to them CC.>

Before cuts ironwood cuts off his comms. Yuri simply laughs before hearing gunshots.

Yuri:<Shit, gotta cut it short, stay alive out there.> with him off the comms, Philly, Sammi hold off the force of Altas.

Sammi:"T-They...need t-to chill out..."

Player POV

Leaking pool of blood seem on the ground, camera slowly panned to the main character bleeding with bullet scratch on his cheek, as inside the Goliath suit continuously beeping none-stop indicating its damage, heavier suffer in his body but still breathing, that's all that matter.

Player:"Fuck...Those two Goliath dealt so much to me, but they didn't stood through chance, commander tho manage to run away, but I don't care, I want to leave now- Hrg, commander put a bullet in my shoulder."

Continue the path in atlas base, moving, looking for a escape, moving only forwarder due to one hallway, however main character sees more Altas soldiers coming my way. Armed and readily. Player, in pain still have some energy to use, immediately rip off the from the wall and shield himself from bullets.

Player:"Can you please!" *Bullet started blazing, immediately pushing against the force.* "Give me some damn breathing!?"

Before un-mounted from mechanical right arm and return fire, holding up the shield from his face as moving up slowly. Atlas always back up to maintain their accuracy, bullet impacting into the white metal rip wall. Soldier kept shooting, annoying the hell off to the player's ear.

Kept shooting back, bullet Pierce through hostile chest, Alive still, shooting back. Couple standing, retaliate aggressively Soldier aids the injured one. Player enraged even more. Instead of return firing, he mounted mini-gun back in, and with his rage and little of his energy left. Player angrily rush in as soldiers falls back quickly, however their attempts pushing back doesn't.

Right the inches 15, lifted up rip wall and forces thrown into two soldiers. On the ground unable to push it up due to its weight, Given him enough time to kill one, lift two hands and slam into the foe's head, heard an deadly crack. Opened to see sliming blood. stop himself looked two stuck on the debris. Stepping on, crunching...

Player:"I need breathing idiots, god I forgot my bleeding is severely wound around my body-

*Crack...*

Player:"The hell..." man in Goliath turned to sight a l little crack of light emitting. "Where did that came from?"

However, little light from crack begin to fissure largely, feeling gettin' suck in, I try to move away from it, but unfortunately, I didn't.

Player:"Oh poppy! It's suckin' me in!" Every try running away from its unknown force of pulling, it didn't make any progress, only to drain my energy. "Arg- this might be a end of me! Ah!"

Only with his last words, he was later was devour from the light, nowhere to be seen...

RUSHMORE POV

Rushmore:"What do you mean Zero-Sphere malfunction?!"

Employee CC:"We don't know sir! We don't know what it cause to happen! Yet we don't know project Zero-Sphere is capable of! It active itself and something effect somewhere the universe!" *Rushmore:"Did you inform engineers yet?"* "They already on it! Engineers are examining Z-S system!"

Richthofen:"Hrg, someone gotta hijack it to causes it."

Employee CC:"No I don't think it's a hijack, but we gotta confirm it it's not! If it is...then-

Richthofen:"It's up to (Y/n), don't worry about that, just return your work. We will kept things under control."

CC employee nodded to scientist leader and walks back the elevator. Richthofen look back the openly window, hearing his ungrateful sign.

Richthofen:"This concerns me, it shouldn't be a single issue with machine, I always look through ever blueprints with exact resources. Yet all but one machine is Zero-Sphere."

Rushmore:"You're the one makes inventions, you sent expedition team to either collet or discover. You're made greater progression! I'm here keep Neo-frozen safe. That's my protocol."

Richthofen:"True on your protocol, but this? It's mostly be a problem with if Zero-Sphere is going interfering universe."

Rushmore:"You made a machine to interfere...WHAT!?"

Richthofen:"Interfering the universe, CC do not want play gods, but it's very necessary to do, think something about they manage to get all Universe, then we are doom, unless inherently build machine that can we can control its reality.

Rushmore:"Making Universe unstable?! You're gone mad Dr. Richthofen! It may result death casualties! Hell you even don't have the authority of CC to use that machine!"

Richthofen:"I know, patience, just wait out AI, anything will come a resolve for us."

Rushmore:"Hrm...Fine, I just hope you're doing is right."

Meanwhile...

*SSSSSRRRR!-CRASH!*

An loudest crashed ever made that made animal run away, unknowns felt a ground shake. Four quickly grabbed their weapon.

???:"Oi, we got something..."
