Kagiiiissssssssshhhh! Tahhhiiiiiiinkkkkk! General Ace's Ozone Military Shuttle had landed at the Ozone Ship 01. Tahhhiiiiiiinkkkkk! The shuttle's door opens. And he stepped down calmly in the Ozone Ship 01, without knowing the fact that the Cybot Dragon Raid and Cybot Armageddon is nearly approaching and peril is coming ahead in short while.

"Sir, It was confirmed that Major Lexus had driven away the Guerilla Forces at Cordillera Mountain Range in the Northern Philippines..." the Ozone trooper reported after General Ace seated calmly in the navy ship.

"Good, it will be easy for us to contain that area which the Earth Forces did not try to pacify or even the Upsilon Maximillion Foundation even hold to," General Ace replied and continued to sit and relax despite the fact that dangers are coming to him. To take note, the Upsilon Maximillion Foundation is an elite group of individuals comprising Royal Bloods, Aristocrats and Authorities from Upsilon Upsilon 08 Space Country, a Pro-Ozone country and leading manufacturer of Robosuits. And seems like Ozone Empire, they are also starting to invest colonization in isolated areas from Earth Federations. Making them, or little by little making them as powerful as Ozone Empire in the future. This is quiet alarming for General Ace but continuous to ignore the scenario. Its the hidden agenda and secret move of the said organization and slowly they are upgrading compare to Ozone Empire.

"Sir? The Upsilon Maximillion Foundation had never been regrouped again for the last five years since we launched the mass construction of Ozone Bases here on Earth" Lieutenant Phoebe started to talk. She just arrived the navy ship where General Ace is.

"And then? What do you mean Lieutenant Phoebe?" General Ace asks.

"I mean, the Upsilon Maximillion Foundation shouldn't be in the scene for conquering the St. Paul City," Lt. Phoebe replied.

"Ha ha ha ha. I see you have a point. Go ahead, any other updates?" General Ace stated which shows gladness. He shows no concern about how the Upsilon Maximillion moves on Earth which might affect the objectives of Ozone Empire.

"Sir... how about the Cybots at the Ozone Air Base 01? How will we handle those Cybots?" Lt. Phoebe asks again.

"You are in charge... Lieutenant Phoebe," General Ace said. He shows no anxiety on how the Cybots cause danger in the Ozone Air Base 01.

"Huh? Y-Yes sir!" Lieutenant Phoebe replied and interestingly smiles, its her opportunity to show her prowess in this kind of situation. Its an interesting conversation between General Ace and Lieutenant Phoebe. Receiving a report from Major Lexus. Having known that Major Lexus is only few steps away in capturing the St. Paul City.

Chapter 42
Assassination of General Ace Part 2: Destruction of the Air Base
story & illustrations by Eugene Mark Lopez
text by Anna Mae Apalla

"Lt. Phoebe, this is Captain Norton Easton, the Air Base Captain of Ozone 01 Air Base, requesting for new line of attack in enable to eliminate all the Cybot in the battle ground," a call from Ozone Air Base 01 had made. It is Captain Norton requesting for another batch of Green Ox Robosuits as reinforcements. Looks like the one thousand and more units of Green Ox Robosuits had just been destroyed by the Cybots in the Air Base battle.

"New squadron? Captain Norton, that is not necessary," Lieutenant Phoebe grabs the phone and answered. She rejects Captain Norton's request for back-up.

"Oh, why so Lieutenant? We'll be fried here," Captain Norton replied and in slight panic he is disappointed.

"Listen to my new instructions..." Lieutenant Phoebe stated.

"Huh?" Captain Norton in surprised. He didn't expect a new plan. Seemingly, he sticks with the original plan of annihilating the Cybots in the Air Base in a manual combat.

"Declare Code Red! Use the self detonation device of Ozone 01 Airbase! I repeat! Declare Code Red! Evacuate the Ozone 01 Airbase now and detonate he bomb under the Airbase!" Lieutenant Phoebe declares which makes Captain Norton in shock. Her voice was also heard in the Air Base 01 control room.

"A bomb?" Captain Norton in surprised.

"Yes, under your base are 32 atomic missiles, do not launch it. Self detonate it now!" Lieutenant Phoebe explains further.

"That's right! There is a bomb under us," Captain Norton agreed.

"That's an order!" Lieutenant Phoebe dismiss the call and pursues the plan of ending the Cybots thru detonating the whole Air Base. Tut tut tut! The call ended.

"She wants to demolish this airbase just to destroy Cybots? How desperate! That's a big mistake sacrificing a well funded Ozone Base! What do you expect? The Earth Force will go here to only arrest the Cybots? No they won't. They'll let us die too, like the Ozone empire, so we are the bait. We are totally fooled in this operation. Warn all units and let's go!"  Captain Norton is mad and disagreed. It is clearly he was fooled in this stage play by General Ace and ended up as a puppet of Lieutenant Phoebe.

"Look at that mess in the battlefield. Are those the Cybots? Oh, looks new type of Robosuits for me," Lieutenant Zendaya said while seeing thru a telescope the remaining Cybots in the Air Base. 

"Sure is, the Cybots and now are declared as wanted by the Space Countries. So we don't have to interfere on that decision," Major Briana replied who is doing the same thing too.

"Ma'am! Major Briana! We intercept a message coming from the Ozone Airbase that they will be detonating the bomb planted directly beneath the Ozone 01 Airbase. There are 32 atomic bombs to be accurate," an Earth Force field commander walk near them and reported.

"I can't believe it... they'll wreck that place just to destroy the Cybots? There are innocent people in the airbase and prior to its vicinity," Major Briana expressed concerns on how Ozone Empire act in such a situation.

"Yes Major, our contacts at the Ozone 01 Airbase already confirmed that Captain Norton Easton is preparing to evacuate his crew now," the Earth Force trooper added.

"This is terrible, we have to go there now," Major Briana said that expressed willingness to help the air base. 

"But Ma'am? We'll we make a stake of our own lives? Why we'll we go there if there are atomic bombs under the place?" Lieutenant Zendaya contradicts.

"We'll detonate it! Lieutenant Zendaya? Do we have to sacrifice the lives of the people near the Ozone 01 Airbase? Or are we the ones who will?" Major Briana emphasizes their next move to get rid of the atomic bombs under the air base.

"Huh?" Lieutenant Zendaya realizes her words and her idol's actions.

"Make a safe landing near the airbase, understood?" Major Briana started giving orders to go forth in the Ozone Air Base.

"Yes Ma'am..." Lieutenant Zendaya salutes and carries the orders.

"It is so evident that the Ozone Empire had planted hidden atomic bombs not only in one but in each of their facilities in Earth. What a hell of strategy," Major Briana said and started to move.

Tut tut tut! SYSTEM LOCKED *computer voice* PREPARING TO INSTALL DETONATION CODES *computer voice*

"Sir its almost ready, all we need is to activate the switch button..." The Ozone trooper said while in the Air Base underground control room. They are already preparing the Atomic Bombs to be detonated now.

"Well then, let's evacuate after this!" another Ozone Trooper stated. Looks like all of them successfully carry out Lieutenant Phoebe's orders of detonating the Air Base. Until it was done and the Air Base sound system had announced the warning.

"Warning... Ozone 01 Airbase is now self detonating for 15 minutes. Evacuate now for all personnel. This is not a drill, I repeat, this is not a drill..." *computer voice*

________________________

"This will end the Cybots!" the Ozone trooper said and ready to push the detonating button. There is no other delay and doubts.

"Hold it right there!" But a voice from behind with a 45 caliber gun aiming at them speaks. The brave major of Earth Force, Major Briana Mc Glocken.

"Huh? Earth Force!" the Ozone troopers in the secret control room are surprised.

"Yes! And I am Major Briana McGlocken of Earth Force... do not push that switch! You may kill the civilians here and Earth citizens around 100 kilometer radius! And we will not permit it! That's an order! This is our jurisdiction," Major Briana said. With her are the Earth Force armed and ready to arrest the Ozone troopers responsible for carrying out the heck of a plan of Lieutenant Phoebe. But it was too late.

"Sorry Major, but we don't take orders from Earth Force... we are Ozone Empire," the Ozone trooper started to switch on the detonating button.

"I'm not telling you a mere order! That is a request! Stay Away from that control button," Major Briana aims a gun.

"Request or not, it may happen!" but the button to switch ON the atomic missiles are already made. Tut tut tut tut tut!

"What? No! How could you!" Major Briana exclaims and witness how the atomic bomb started to confirm its explosion. ACTIVATION CONFIRMED *computer voice*

__________________________

THE BOMB ACTIVATED... EVACUATE THE FACILITY... CODE RED... 15 MINUTES.... *computer voice* I REPEAT... THE BOMB ACTIVATED... EVACUATE THE FACILITY... CODE RED... 15 MINUTES... EEEEEEEEEENNNNGGG! the sound of air raid. The whole place started to panic, code red.

"The system is locked! You can't do anything about it commander McGlocken! Even us did not know how to disconnect the detonation system," the Ozone trooper said. The remaining Ozone troopers who just detonated the bomb was tied up the Earth Force troops.

"Shut up! Or I'll shoot you!" Major Briana replied and aims the 45 caliber gun on them.

_______________________

"Damn it, I can't hack the system. I've tried all the combinations but nothing happened," the Earth Force trooper said after encoding passwords to the computer to cut the detonation of the Ozone Air Base.

"Major, it's almost 10 minutes passed," Lieutenant Zendaya said which makes everyone in alarm. After the 5 minutes countdown will be a blow up scenario in their area.

"There's only one thing that we must do now," Major Briana stated and will deal with the last plan to stop the destruction on the Air Base.

 "What is that major?" the Earth Troopers asks. They paused for a while wand listens.

"We have to contact a Cybot! Its pilot!" Major Briana shockingly stated that they will asks an urgent favor to the Cybot pilots.

"But why?" the Earth Force troopers started to talk to themselves and asks such decision from their highest leader.

"The pilot of that Cybot which transforms into jet fighter. He is a genius! Exceptional! And I believe he can save this Ozone Air Base from detonating itself. Remember how he did escape us from the hospital and how he just saved the school fair? He is that genius and talented, we need a help," Major Briana explains and looks outside the window trying to see how the Cybots are busy fighting the Ozone Robosuits. He is pertaining to Kyrie, the Flight Cybot's pilot.

"Noted that major, we'll contact him now," Lieutenant Zendaya understands and confirms the orders of Major Briana.

"Keep me posted Lieutenant Zendaya. Tell our troop to evacuate this area now before we reached the 15 minutes mark!" Major Briana added. They will contact Kyrie from the battle field.

"Roger that ma'am!" Lt. Zendaya responded.

___________________________

Meanwhile, the Ozone Air Base 01 is still under siege. Unknown to the pilots of the Robosuits and Cybot pilots is the ongoing countdown of the atomic bomb under the Air Base. And still, the Ozone field commanders are giving commands to annihilate the last 3 Cybots in the Air Base. Gunfire from the Green Ox Robosuits intensified, targeting the last Cybots.

(radio) "Second squadron, attack the left side now!" the pilot ordered. The Green Ox Robosuits kept advancing, determined to wipe out the remaining Cybots. Bratatatattat! Bratatatatatatat! Bratatatatat! The Green Ox Robosuits keep targeting the Cybot Dark Angel and Cybot Megalica who are in the middle of the field.

(radio) "This is not easy after all," Tracie said who is the middle of the battle. She realized there is no help form them to come and to battle using their ultimate form is now needed. She then pushes buttons in the dashboard of the Cybot Megalica cockpit. To launch a unique weapon. The Sky Drill. Taahhhhiiiinkkk! Tvuuuummmnn! A huge power drill was launched from the Cybot Dark Angel's arm. It flew and bores down the number of Green Ox Robosuits in instant. Kaagraaaahh! Kabraaaahhh! Kraaggiiissshh! 

"EEEEEEEyyyyaaarrggh!" The Green Ox Robosuit pilots screamed into their death!

__________________________

Luna adds damaged to the enemy and uses the Cybot Megalica's heavy machine gun and continuously targets the incoming squadron of Green Ox Robosuits! Tahinkk! The Cybot Megalica aims its heavy machine guns to the attacking Green Ox Robosuits! Twwwuvvuunn! Bratatatattat! Bratatatat! Bratatatat!

(radio) "We cannot win this kind of battle. We need to get out of here!" Luna said using the radio, telling Tracie that they have to escape the dangerous field.

(radio) "But how are going to get out of here if we are surrounded by our foes?" Tracie replied. But amidst the chaos, Tracie questioned the feasibility of an escape plan when surrounded by relentless foes.

"EEEEEEyyyaaaarrghhh!" The Green Ox Robosuit pilots screamed into their death! The screams of the Green Ox Robosuit pilots became an eerie chorus, signaling the intensity of the life-or-death struggle on the battlefield.

________________________________

All of the sudden the Air Raid system had just sounded and caught the attention of most pilots in the Robosuits as well as the pilots of the Cybots in the battle field. EEEEEEeeennngg! EEEEeeeeenng!

(radio) "Huh? What is that?" Tracie asks upon hearing the Air Raid that warns about the nearing explosion of the Air Base.

(radio) "Its an air raid! And announcement!" Luna replied and observes how the Green Ox Robosuits started to pull out from the battle field one by one.

(radio) "Of what?" Tracie exclaims and feels. 

(radio) "That there is a bomb in the place!" Luna replied and figured out the countdown.

(radio) "Oh no! We have to run! Now!" Tracie had no other words but to escape the incoming peril.

(radio) "Forget it! How about your friend who just standing there?" Luna reminds of Kyrie who still in the Flight Cybot and not moving. Kyrie is still in state of shock, knowing that he ignorantly killed the delegate from the 13 Space Countries including President Waylen Cambridge.

(radio) "Kyrie! You fool! Move there and help us!" Tracie shouts and communicates to Kyrie, trying to save him. But the Green Ox Robosuits keep coming after them side by side thru firing massive machine guns! Bratatattatattatattatatat!

___________________________

Kbraaaaaaaaaxxxxxx! A squadron of Green Ox Robosuits launch rockets and directly hits the Flight Cybot! KAAbbbooooooommnnn!!!

"Aaaaaarrrrgghh!" Kyrie screams while his Flight Cybot exploded!

"Kyrie!" Tracie screams while witnessing the how the rockets bombarded the Flight Cybot.

He remains calm despite reports of military victories and warnings about the growing influence of the Upsilon Maximillion Foundation. Meanwhile, Lieutenant Phoebe rejects a request for reinforcements and instead orders the self-destruction of Ozone Air Base 01 to eliminate the Cybots.

As chaos unfolds, Major Briana of Earth Force intervenes, attempting to stop the detonation, but the countdown is already activated.
