While Kyrie and Tracie battles their lives in the Ozone Air Base 01, Minister Hudson's escape shuttle is ready to take-off and well prepared by General Ace.

"Sir, Minister Ivanov Hudson, We have to go," Lieutenant Phoebe declared with a smile, leading the way to a separate private escape shuttle. The urgent atmosphere heightened as Lieutenant Phoebe swiftly said to Minister Ivanov Hudson to come with her in a separate escape pod due to the chaos of the situation.

"This way," she emphasized, rushing towards the exit, with General Ace following closely. The urgency in their movements suggested a sense of imminent danger.

"So General? Why do I have to use another escape pod separate from the others? This is too small. Why don't we just join President Waylen and the others in the bigger space shuttle?" Minister Ivanov finally questioned, expressing his concern.

"I apologize, Minister Hudson. This is only temporary. The space in the main escape shuttle is a little cramped for us," General Ace explained, his words carrying a weight of necessity and urgency. 

_______________________

"Let's fasten our seatbelts and relax. Everything is alright, General Ace and his crew is convoying us," President Grey Vasquez of Space Country Rho 07 said. Relying their safety to the Ozone troopers assisting them in their evacuation. The escape pod of President Waylen Cambridge and the other delegates from the 13 Space Countries had just launched thru the sky.

Kaaavvv-raaaaaaxxxxx! Kavraaaaaaaaaaaaxxxx!

Kazzzzzzzzooooommmnnnn!- the engines of the escape shuttle sounded smoothly speeding up in the sky. Evacuating the danger in the nearby Air Base it carries the important people form outer space.

"Huh?" Kyrie said while seeing the escape shuttles launching from the Manila Resorts and Hotel. Kyrie, Tracie, Luna and Raven is witnessing the space shuttles loaded with valuable people in the galaxy launching from the near by hotel. 

(radio) "Ha? There they are!" Tracie shouted and warns the other Cybot pilots. It was heard by Kyrie, Luna and Raven.

(radio) "Hhhhmmm... It might be the Ozone Council," Raven said and observes the space shuttle. It was obvious that the biggest space shuttle is the escape pod of President Waylen and the other important delegates.

"We have to catch up that space shuttle!" Luna said eagerly. But her Cybot Megalica was blocked by a number of Green Ox Robosuits.

__________________________

At the same time, a quick radio announcement from the Ozone Air Base has sounded. Giving orders to each of Ozone troopers and Ozone pilots to pull back and leave the Air Base.

(radio) "Calling all units of Green Ox Robosuit. Fall back! I repeat, Fall back and proceed to the artillery section! Now! I repeat. Every unit must retreat!" Said the radio announcement, calling all the attention of Green Ox Robosuits pilot and every Ozone troopers to evacuate the Air Base grounds.

(radio) "I repeat! This is a direct order from his highness General Ace! I repeat! This is a direct order!" the announcement continues thru a radio communication.

"Huh? Wait I didn't allow such orders? Why we pull back since the foes are already complete? This is our chance to finish all the Cybots!" Captain Norton Easton exclaims. He is so upset why General Ace orders such a pull out of troops and suddenly abandoning the Ozone Air Base.

"But sir? Its a direct order from his highness General Ace, sir," the Ozone trooper beside him replied.

Tut tut tut tut!

Tut tut tut!

Kyrie pushes buttons and pulls a lever inside the Flight Cybot's cockpit. The Flight Cybot's cockpit started to show its functionality.

"I am ready!" Kyrie said and continues to push buttons in the dash board.

Kvraaaammmmnnn! Tahhhhhiiiinkkkk!

"Wow, his Cybot is definitely a powerful one," Raven said to himself while watching how the Flight Cybot transforms into a jet fighter step by step.

The Flight Cybot transforms into a speedy jet fighter and rushes towards the air. It is ready to chase the space shuttle where the delegates are!

"Now this is the end of them!" Kyrie said and maneuvers his jet fighter! He goes after the escape shuttle where the Space Country leaders are!!!

Kaaaaaxxxxxoooooommnnn! Kavraaaaaaasssshhhhhh!!!

Kaaaaaaaxxxx--zooooooooommnnnn! - the sound of the Flight Cybot Jet Fighter engine rages indicating its chase to its target escape shuttle.

_________________________

While the crossfire between the four Cybots and the Ozone's Green Ox Robosuit continues in Ozone 01 Air Base in Manila, the delegates and leaders inside the escape shuttle continues their forum. Still discussing the legitimacy and approval of the project proposals for nearing Space Countries collisions. But worrying ang fright are seen in the faces of these delegates, evidently.

"We have to continue our voting process for the best proposal for the near collision of Space Countries" President Grey Vasquez of Space Country Rho 07 stated while seating calmly with the other delegates.

"I object, the choosing between the 'The Project SSCS, Save Space Countries from Collisions' by President Malcolm Angelhope, and Ozone Empire's proposal, the 'Project Space Orbits Restoration' will be made thru voting. If we are completed," President Waylen said while sipping a coffee.

"Senator Fletcher Normandy of Space Country Omicron 12, the Upsilon 08 Space Country is President Cesar Maximilion are not here. Also Minister Ivanov is in the other shuttle. It is in our bylaws of The 13 Federations of Space Countries that if there is a proposal for the benefit of the galaxy, complete presence of leader is a requirement, it is a must. Apologies for that gentlemen, but it is a rule in our organization," President Waylen further explains and the delegates agreed from their seats.

"I see and understand President Waylen, I am that excited for the approval" President Grey Vasquez of Space Country Rho 07 stated while seating calmly in the space shuttle.

"He he he he. Why can't we just go to the Prestigious Angehope Mansion and visit the funeral of President Malcolm. I want to see also the first lady Cora Miller and their first daughter Sofia" President Lionel Maddox suggested which seems good to the ears of the people inside the space shuttle.

"Good idea, let's take a break and return after the Ozone Empire clear the situation and this area," President Waylen Cambridge said and fully lean his back in his seat.

"But General Ace and his crew is not here. We have to inform them about our unexpected trip. He he he he" said President Grey Vasquez of Space Country Rho 07 said that noticed something different in which General Ace and his crew of Ozone troops are not in the space shuttle.

"Where is General Ace?" President Waylen exclaimed and noticed that there is no Ozone trooper around while they are in the escape shuttle.

"Why is Minister Ivanov in the other shuttle?" he also pointed out.

_________________________

All of a sudden during the smooth escape of the delegates from the dangers in the nearby Ozone 01 Air Base in Manila. Kyrie's jet fighter had appeared beside the delegate's space shuttle. 

KvrraaaaaaaxXXXXxxx!- Kyrie's Fighter Jet materialized on the scene with a thunderous roar.

KKKKzzzzooOOOOmnnn! -Kyrie's Flight Cybot jet fighter unleashes shows its prowess beside the escape shuttle of President Waylen and the others.

"Ha? What is that?"

"A jet fighter?"

"Maybe our escort security,"

"But why it just blocked our air way,"

The delegates made deep commotions inside the space shuttle, signifying worry and fright upon seeing Kyrie's jet fighter. They taught it was Ozone Empire's escort jet fighter, but its not. It is Kyrie inside his Flight Cybot Jet Fighter waiting a chance to horribly finish them.

______________________________

Tut tut tut!!!

Tut tut tut!!!

Tut tut tut!!!

The jet fighter tremendously moves and beeps and created glowing lights! And it transforms into a Flight Cybot!

Kavvvraaaaaaaaaaxxxx!

Shaaaaagraaaaaahhhhh!

Tuvvvvvvvuuuuuuuummmnnnn!- the Flight Cybot sounded each time it transforms and is being watched by the delegates from the escape pod.

"Huh? It became a Robosuit!"

"What in the world is that machine that can transform?"

"No! It can't be! Its not a Robosuit, It is a Cybot that is in the cross fire!"

"Oh no! We are in great trouble!"

The people inside the space shuttle witnessed how the Flight Cybot threatens their escape!

______________________

The delegates and the important people in the 13 Space Countries are in great trouble knowing that beside their flying escape shuttle is a Cybot that is attacking the Ozone Robosuits in the nearby Air Base.

"No way!"

"Oh no! A Cybot!"

"Oh my!"

"No! A Cybot!"

The delegates said, deeply frightened in the situation!

"Get down! All of you!" President Waylen Cambridge warned the delegates as a safety measure. The only way to defend themselves against the Flight Cybot's threat!

"Mr. President! We are in danger! We have to call help!" 

"Call the Ozone troops now!"

"Call General Ace immediately!"

The delegates said and contacts the nearby Ozone 01 Air Base.

"You foolish pilot! Who ever you are! You'll have a regret on this!" President Waylen said, disappointed, in shock! He cannot believe that from the window he is seeing a life threatening machine that is ready to kill them. The Flight Cybot stares at passengers of the escape shuttle. Still, Kyrie is silent and determined to do the action.

"Oh no! Sir! Look! Looks like it will attack us!" President Lionel Maddox shouted while seeing the Flight Cybot preparing to use its Laser Sword to cut the escape shuttle they are riding at.

__________________________

Tut tut tut!

Tut tut tut Tut!

Tut tut!

Kyrie pushes the buttons for the Flight Cybot's Laser Sword! Kyrie had no idea of who are the people in the escape shuttle. He still thought they are the Ozone Councils. And still, he is determined this kind of killing.

"This is your end Ozone Empire!" Kyrie said who is that fool, still in the thought that the escape shuttle in front of him is the escape shuttle of the Ozone Councils and Ozone officials. But the fact is, the escape shuttle of the delegates and important people from the 13 Space Countries. Lastly, the Flight Cybot sways its Laser Sword to slash the escape shuttle of the Space Countries delegates!

"No you don't... don't be foolish!" President Waylen screams before dying in the hands of the Flight Cybot and of course from the hands of its only pilot, Kyrie.

"EEeeeeaaaaaaarrrrrrgghhh!" the delegates cried and died. Kyrie slashes the escape shuttle of the Space Countries delegates into two! A huge air explosion follows!

KaaaaaabbbbbOOOooommmnnn!

Trakaaaakkkk-Booooogoooommmnnnn!

"Its the end of Ozone!" Kyrie said, who killed a wrong group of people.

Kabbbbooooooooooooommnnnnnn!

TrakakabOOoooGggooooommnnn!

The explosion of the space shuttle of the delegates had echoed in the air. The scenario was so clear in the eyes of all people in the galaxy and in the eyes of Minister Ivanov Hudson who is in the state of horror upon witnessing how the Flight Cybot slashes the space shuttle of the delegates of the 13 Space Countries into half resulting to the delegates' devastating death.

"The Space Countries leaders and officials are in that Space Shuttle! No way! They all die in the hands of that Cybot! No! President Waylen! President Maddox! It can't be!" Minister Ivanov said while inside in the small escape shuttle and watching how the Flight Cybot slices the space shuttle where President Waylen Cambridge and the others are.

"President Cambridge!!!" screamed by Minister Ivanov Hudson who remains safe in the small escape shuttle. Has no choice but to watch his friends die in the hands of Kyrie and his Flight Cybot.

_______________________

Craaaaaaaaaaassshhheeddddd! The pieces if space shuttle of the delegates fell like pieces of glasses.

"Its finished," Rave said while watching the falling debris.

After the tragedy in the air. The Cybot pilots have no idea what is going on up in the air but what they see is a crashing space shuttle. Until they noticed that the Ozone Robosuits are leaving the scene.

(radio) "Huh? The Green Ox Robosuits are leaving," Luna said and communicates with the other Cybot pilots using a radio. After the huge explosion and anomalous killing. The battle field at the Ozone Airbase 01 is cleared. No more Ozone Green Ox Robosuits remained standing. Only the Cybot Dark Angel, Cybot Armageddon and Cybot Megalica remains in the field.

(radio) "Looks like they accept their defeat," Raven stated. It was heard in all Cybot's radio.

(radio) "Good sign of today's battle huh!" Tracie joins their conversation.

"Let's celebrate! The work here is done and Kyrie had finished the Ozone Council," Luna said. Like the other Cybot Pilots, who are blinded by the mistake, that the escaping shuttle is not the Ozone Council but President Waylen and the valuable delegates of the galaxy.

___________________________

But in a sudden, the situation had changed. Tvuuummnn! The eyes of Cybot Dark Angel glows, it is a sign of movement.

"Now let's see who's Cybot is tougher!" Tracie said and eventually attacks the Cybot Armageddon using her Cybot Dark Angel's Quantum Axeblade. Tracie suddenly decided to fight Raven and his Cybot Armageddon.

Tahhhiiiiiiiinnkkkkkkk! Kvraaaaaaaaaxxxxxx! The Cybot Dark Angel hits the shoulders of Cybot Armageddon using the Quantum Axeblade!

KAaaaavvrrrraaaaaxxxxxxxxx! SSSwwwwaaaaaassshhhhh! Kagraaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!

Craaaaaaaaaaassssshhhhh! The Cybot Armageddon was slightly hit! It backs off!

(radio) "What are you doing? You are attacking us then? Do you think we are Ozone Empire?" Raven shouted and was heard by all Cybot pilots.

(radio) "Wait! Do not fight!" Luna suggested. But Raven decided to fight back and pushes the button to release the Shoulder Missiles of the Cybot Armageddon!

Taaahhhhhhiiiiiiinkkkkk! The damaged Cybot Armageddon opens up its missile hatch at its two shoulders and looks like it will launch missiles against the Cybot Dark Angel.

Kabooomnnn! Kabooonn! Kaboooomnnn!!! Kabbboooomnnnn! Tremendous set of missiles hit the Cybot Dark Angel. What a turn of events. Its now Cybot versus Cybot.

(radio) "GGGggrrr,!" Tracie said who is in her Cybot Dark Angel. Seems like damaged most.

(radio) "You are not the only one gifted with a Cybot," Raven stated signifying he is ready to fight Tracie's Cybot Dark Angel using his Cybot Armageddon.

________________________________

"Cut it out you two! We should not fight each other!" shouted by Luna who pacifies Tracie and Raven. She used the speaker system of the Cybot Megalica. Luna shouted using the speaker system of the Cybot Megalica. Luna pulls a lever in the cockpit of Cybot Megalica. The Cybot boosts up and landed between the two.

"Stop! You two!" shouted by Luna who pacifies Tracie and Raven. She used the speaker system of the Cybot Megalica.

____________________________

But in a sudden, a huge fire ball comes from behind of all the Cybots. Kabraaammmnn! A huge fireball blasted Cybot Armageddon and Cybot Dark Angel who have decided to have a duel. In surprised, someone suddenly arrives and appears in the battle field, the Cybot Dragon Raid.

(radio) "So you aren't satisfied that you defeated lots of enemies here? And you want to fight against each other? Ha?" said Lee who seems like making advices the other Cybot Pilots. He uses the speaker system of the Cybot Dragon Raid. The pilot of Cybot Dragon Raid. A 40 feet Green, Gold and Red Cybot Dragon Raid appeared.

(radio) "And who do you think you are? Huh?" Tracie asks. She and the other Cybot pilots don't have any ideas who is Lee and what is the Cybot in front of them.

(radio) "Another Cybot?" Luna said. She was heard by every one.

(radio) "A Cybot," Raven said while recovering from the attacks of Cybot dark Angel.

Tvuuummnnnnn! Tahiiinkkk! The Cybot Dragon Raid had just moved and blinks its eyes. It catches the attention of all the Cybots in the field. But the Flight Cybot in a jet fighter form is preparing to land in front of them.

_________________________________

Taaaaavuuummnnn! The Flight Cybot had just landed in the front of the other Cybots. And Kyrie started to speak.

(radio) "Its finished, I end the Ozone! No need to fight fellow Cybot Pilots," Kyrie proudly said using the radio and every Cybot pilots had heard. It was heard by Lee.

(radio) "End the Ozone? You are foolish Kyrie Kata! You are blinded! Definitely blinded!" Lee said using the speaker system of the Cybot Dragon Raid. He eagerly says these words.

(radio) "Hmmm. Why do you say so? Do you want to finish all of us here? What do you mean?" Kyrie asks who doesn't have any idea that he killed a wrong group of people.

Tahiiinkkkk! The Cybot Dragon Raid's cockpit opened and Lee goes out from the cockpit. He wants to tell a big news! He wants to tell it with emphasis, the big revelation to all the four Cybots in the front of all of them.

"I am Lee! Lee Caishen! And I am telling you this most important thing! To all of you! Kyrie Kata you are fool! That escape shuttle that you slashed, had just destroyed into pieces and the people inside that are killed are not Ozone leaders!" Lee shouts to all the Cybot pilots who are inside each Cybots. His voice is like a messenger from the under world telling a worst news.

"They are leaders of the Space Countries!! Including President Waylen Cambridge president of Space Country Beta 02, and the leader of the cabinet of 13 Space Countries. The director of the 13 Space Countries!" Lee screams and was heard by the guilty Cybot pilots, primarily Kyrie.

"Huh? What are you saying? Do you mean this is all a set-up?" Raven asks using a speaker system.

(radio) "Oh my, what on the Earth have we done?" Luna asks herself and realizes that everything is only a set-up

(radio) "Damn! So these are all a set-up, I am damn foolish" Tracie as well continued to reflect. 

"Yes! We are all used by General Ace Highlander! The General of Ozone Empire! All of us are fools here!" Lee emphasizes and still outside hi Cybot Dragon Raid cried aloud to inform all the foolsih Cybot pilots.

(radio) "AAhhhhhkkkk!" The Cybot Megalica continuously lying on the grounds. Luna eventually suffers from a severe asthma. That is due to non-stop smoke from the field.

(radio) "Huh? Hey! Are you alright? Amf!" Tracie noticed the anomaly of the movements of the Cybot Megalica.

(radio) "Luna!" Raven calls her attention and shows worry. All of these things happen but still Kyrie in the Flight Cybot doesn't move. He is contemplating of what he has done.

___________________________

People around the Earth and Space Countries witness the foolishness of Kyrie and the other Cybot pilots. They were all victims of General Ace's set-up. 

"Oh my, how foolish  these Cybot Pilots are!" Said Vice President Lorna Dewinter inside her office.

"It happens...." Major Briana said while in the Manila Bay together with the Earth Force troops standing by.

"Its a set-up!" said Senator Fletcher Normandy, the representative of Omicron 12 Space Country while in his office.

"So that's their plan?" said Lieutenant Farah who is in undercover staying outside the Hotel and Resorts where the escape shuttles came from.

_______________________

"Ha?" Sofia suddenly drops her cup of coffee. And also, Sofia who is not aware of the thing going on but has a vibe of Kyrie and the Flight Cybots, intertwined connection. She is watching the live feed, wherein the Flight Cybot attacks the helpless escape shuttle of President Waylen Cambridge and the other respected leaders of 13 Space Countries.

She looks up the sky and said a name "Kyrie,"

_________________________

All of a sudden a space wide broadcast was made using the frequency of Justify Sky News. Tut tut tut! The camera is showing the image of Minister Ivanov while speaking, an important galaxy wide announcement.

"This is Minister Hudson Ivanov of Ozone Space Country. Its Prime Minister and the lone survivor of the attack of the Cybots to the delegates of Space Countries. The Cybots had killed, assassinated the leaders of the Space Countries including President Waylen Cambridge president of Space Country Beta 02, and the leader of the cabinet of 13 Space Countries. The director of the 13 Space Countries. I therefore declare, as the Ozone Space Empire representative, an all out war against the Cybots!" Minister Hudson Ivanov stated in live news feed and showing the 5 Cybots attacking the Ozone 01 Air Base in Manila.

"They killed the leaders of Space Countries" He added. Tut tut tut! The camera shuts off, indicated the end of live feed in the galaxy. It is quiet surprising that during the live feed, Minister Ivanov suddenly changed his mood into a Pro-Ozone person, the fact that he is an Anti-Ozone.

"I think that is enough General Ace! This is ridiculous! This is all a set-up!" Minister Hudson Ivanov shouted and seems like unease. And suddenly changed his character into anti-Ozone Empire individual.

"Shut-up old man! Move or I'll blast your head off!" Lieutenant Phoebe said while aiming a 45 caliber gun to Minister Ivanov. Kchalk! the gun sounded.

"You Ozone Empire are really Cowards!" the frightened minister said looking frightenedly to General Ace and Lieutenant Phoebe who are also in the escape shuttle. General Ace at the same time is sitting in his throne like seat, watching how the space shuttle of President Waylen Cambridge and the other delegates burn into pieces. "Such a good acting." General Ace said silently.

"I know it from the start that you made us a bait to fight those Cybots that give you headache! You cannot fool people General Ace! I will go out here and tell the truth," Minister Hudson stated, he already plans to expose the truth behind all the turmoil. 

Taaaahhhhhiinkkk! the space shuttle's hatch opens slowly. "Huh?" Minister Ivanov frightens knowing that he will die soon.

"I am sorry Minister Hudson, but you'll go out here alone," Lieutenant Phoebe said and opens the escape shuttle's hatch making Minister Hudson fall tremendously from the sky.

"EEEaaaaarrghh!" Minister Hudson screams while falling from the escape shuttle. He was pushed to death by Lt. Phoebe. He falls thousand feet from the stratosphere.

"Sir, the minister had left his life... any orders?" Lieutenant Phoebe said to General Ace.

"For now, nothing. I just want to stay here at the shuttle. Later, I'll ride our battle cruise ship standing by in the Manila Bay," General Ace said while still watching the large smoke coming from the crashed shuttle of the delegates.

"Affirmative," Lt. Phoebe answered.

_____________________

"I will fight Ozone on my own.... you, all of you are silly and fools!" Lee still shouting in the front of all the Cybots with Cybot pilot in each.

"What I have done...." Kyrie finally speaks while inside the Flight Cybot.

Chapter 42- Wrath of General Ace Part 1: Kyrie's Dilemma 

________________________________

Summary:

Kyrie and the other Cybot pilots are fighting against the Ozone Empire's forces. They successfully defeat the Ozone troops, but a twist occurs. They realize they've been manipulated by General Ace, the leader of the Ozone Empire. General Ace orchestrated a plan to eliminate key figures from the 13 Space Countries by making the Cybots attack their escape shuttle, disguised as an Ozone ship. Kyrie, believing he was attacking enemies, accidentally kills the leaders of the Space Countries, including President Waylen Cambridge.

The revelation of this deception leads to a conflict between the Cybots themselves as they grapple with the consequences of their actions. Lee, the pilot of the Cybot Dragon Raid, exposes the truth and calls out the Cybots for their foolishness. A sense of betrayal and regret as the Cybots realize they've been pawns in a larger game.
