Major Lexus hurried to the radar room, driven by Lieutenant Farah's urgent message. Upon entering, he questioned, "What's happening, Lt. Farah?"

Lt. Farah, with a serious expression, responded, "Sir."

Major Lexus, feeling the urgency, demanded, "What's going on?"

Lt. Farah conveyed the unsettling news, "Sir, the radar shows that Earth's Robosuits, the Dashing Squids Robosuits, are disappearing one by one!"

"Somebody is destroying the Dashing Squid Robosuits!" she added, her distress evident.

Frustration overcame Major Lexus, "That fool, Commander Barbosa! He sent those Robosuits for sea exploration without proper defense."

Disappointment and annoyance colored Major Lexus's voice, "They don't even have a hand grenade in those Robosuits." The absurdity of the situation mixed with urgency in the radar room.

__________________________

Its a fact that the Dashing Squids Robosuits are immersion like Robosuits used for marine studies. Dashing Squids Robosuits are 40 feet underwater Robosuits in color gray, white and orange. Merely for research purposes.

Indeed, the Dashing Squids Robosuits, with their sleek 40-foot frames adorned in shades of gray, white, and vibrant orange, are not your typical combat machines. Instead, they are designed to explore the depths of the ocean, akin to underwater laboratories, assisting in vital marine studies.

______________________________

"Ah, they're in trouble," Major Lexus grumbled, watching the radar as the signals of the stuck Dashing Squids Robosuits vanished.

Even though he was from Ozone, Major Lexus felt worried for the Earth Force troopers led by Commander Barbosa. "Commander Barbosa is making a mistake," he said, his frustration clear.

"They don't even have a machine gun in those Dashing Squid Robosuits. The pilots in those Robosuits can't fight back against whatever enemy they're facing," Lieutenant Farah remarked, her disbelief apparent.

_______________________

Tut Tut Tut!!!

Tut tut tut!!!

The radar beeped urgently, making everyone in the room pay attention.

"Huh? Oh no! The Dashing Squids Robosuits. Th-They vanished from the radar!" Lieutenant Farah said, her eyes wide with surprise.

"It could be explosions. You know, when a Robosuit gets totally destroyed," Major Lexus guessed, but he was wrong. It wasn't a regular explosion.

"See, there were 12 Dashing Squids Robosuit signals before, but now there are only 3 left!" Lt. Farah read from the radar.

"Commander Barbosa didn't take it seriously. Earth Force thinks it's just debris and malfunctioned Robosuits falling from our Ozone Space Shuttle," Major Lexus explained, his frustration clear. Simply put, they sacrificed a group of Robosuits to recover the Flight Cybot, and now they were suddenly gone.

"What's happening underwater there?" Lt. Farah wondered, echoing the confusion shared by everyone in the room.

"Quick! Alert Lieutenant Gyro and the others!" Major Lexus ordered urgently, remembering that Lieutenant Gyro and the team were also underwater, searching for the sunken Cybot at that moment.

"Sir, they're about half a kilometer from the Cybot!" Lieutenant Farah reported, eyes on the radar showing the active signals of the Blue Sharks Robosuits. They were safe, at least for now. Yet, a tense atmosphere lingered as the mystery of the disappearing signals left everyone on edge, pondering the ominous events unfolding beneath the waves.

The radio room on the Earth Force Ship in Manila Bay turned chaotic when they found out the signals from the Dashing Squids Robosuits were gone. Alarms blared, and everyone started talking quickly, making it feel rushed and tense.

"Commander Barbosa! We are under attack! Our Robosuits underwater!" shouted an alarmed Earth Force trooper.

"By whom? By Ozone?" inquired Commander Barbosa, the weary General of Earth Force. He looks like unease in the Earth Force Ship control room.

"No, sir. The survivors from the Dashing Squid Robosuits said it's not from the Ozone Empire. It's actually an unregistered one!" The Earth Force trooper shared, glancing back and forth between the radar and the video feed from the submerged Dashing Squid Robosuit pilots.

"It's not Ozone. They were the ones who asked for our help to recover their sunken Robosuita in the first place, so what is the point they'll do that?" Commander Barbosa remembered, thinking about the initial request for assistance.

"But hold on! An what? An unregistered Robosuit?" Commander Barbosa exclaimed.

"Yes, sir. Our survivor pilots can't identify it either," the Earth Force trooper clarified.

__________________________

"Tut tut tut tut! Tut!" The radar signal beeped, indicating the loss of units beneath the sea.

"Sir! We lost all our units underwater!" reported the Earth Force troopers.

"Ggggrrrr, we're clueless about what's happening there," Commander Barbosa said, frustration evident in his voice.

As the Earth Force Ships in Manila Bay dealt with the mysterious disappearance of its underwater Robosuits units, a feeling of helplessness settled in. The unregistered Robosuit had evaded detection and successfully neutralized their advanced Dashing Squids Robosuits. The uncertainty of the situation left Commander Barbosa and his team on edge, grappling with the unknown threat lurking beneath the sea.

___________________________

"I've got a plan! We'll take down that mysterious Robosuit that attacked our units, whoever they are!" declared Commander Barbosa, a determined glint in his eyes.

"Whoever's piloting that Robosuit is undoubtedly strong, destroying all our underwater Robosuits so quickly! But they made a big mistake!" he added with conviction. Commander Barbosa pondered the underwater crisis from the Earth Force Ship's window. His crew anxiously awaited his decision, their attention fixed on his next move. The Earth Force General stood at the forefront, leading his resilient crew through the unfolding situation.

"Sir? What should we do?" asked the Earth Force troopers, eager for Commander Barbosa's decision.

"Get ready!" Commander Barbosa declared eagerly.

"Launch a shower of torpedoes and hit that area!" he bellowed, his voice carrying a hint of urgency.

"Now!!!" he ordered promptly.

"But sir, our survivor troops are still there underwater," voiced the concerned Earth Force troopers in the ship's control room.

"Do as I say! They are soldiers; they understand the gravity of such a decision!" Commander Barbosa exclaimed firmly.

"Yes, sir!" the Earth troopers responded promptly, swiftly preparing the Torpedo Launchers for action.

In the tense naval ship control room, Commander Barbosa's drastic decision unfolded, setting the stage for a daring turn in the underwater confrontation.

Tahiiiiiiinkkkkk!!!

Tahiiiiiiiiiinkkkk!!!

Tahhhhiiiiiiinkk!!!

The torpedo launchers on the naval ship roared, making loud metallic sounds. The control room felt tense as the crew got ready for the torpedoes to be launched. The torpedoes were ready to cause chaos, like awakened beasts. The pulsating sound was a crucial moment in the intense confrontation beneath the waves.

KBBRAAAAAMMMMMMMMNNNNN!!!

Target Locked - announced the computer voice, creating a tense atmosphere.

"All torpedoes are set to go!" declared the Earth troopers in the control room.

"Torpedoes are ready, sir!" reported the Earth Force trooper on the control deck.

"Fire at will!!!" Commander Barbosa ordered with determination.

"Got it, sir!" responded the Earth Force trooper, swiftly pressing the fire button.

Tut tut tut!

Tahiiiiiiiiinkkkk!!!

With precision and urgency, the Earth Force troopers initiated the launch sequence, firing a powerful barrage of torpedoes from the Earth Force Ship. The air crackled with anticipation as the deadly payload surged toward its underwater target.

Kazzzoooommmmnnn!!!

Kazzzoooooooooooommnnn!!!

A relentless barrage of torpedoes surged forth, propelled by the Earth Force Ship, on a mission to obliterate the mysterious threat beneath the waves.

Torpedoes are hitting the exact spot where the Dashing Squid Robosuits were. Explosions everywhere, like a wild storm. Each blast echoes, like raindrops hitting paper hard. The underwater world becomes a battlefield, explosions dancing in the dark, wiping out the mighty robots.

Kaboooooommnnn!!!

Kaboooooooooooomnnnn!!!

Trakakbogooooooommnnn!!!

Trakaaaaaakbogggggooooooommnn!!!

The deafening symphony of destruction echoed through the ocean depths, a thunderous display of firepower aimed at erasing the mysterious threat beneath the waves.

KAABRRRRRAAAAAAAAMMMNNNNN!!!

____________________

The torpedoes echo through Major Lexus's submarine in Manila Bay.

"Sir! Look! They fired torpedoes right at their Robosuits' spot!" Lieutenant Farah said, watching the monitor.

"How reckless! A commander risking lives, launching torpedoes just to kill an invisible enemy, endangering his own men!" Major Lexus remarked.

Major Lexus found it hard to understand why they needed to use extreme measures against an unseen enemy. Sacrificing a whole squadron seemed too much to him.

"A typical Earth Commander!" Major Lexus said.

"Commander Barbosa doesn't deserve a star!" he added.

In this tense situation, the clash of leadership styles is clear. Major Lexus, with his different approach, contrasts with Commander Barbosa's traditional style.

"Sir, we need to leave; the explosions are close! The torpedoes might affect our submarine!" Lieutenant Farah urged.

"Let's go," Major Lexus said.

Kazzzzzzzoooooooommnnn!!!

Kagraaaaaaaaahhhh!!!

Major Lexus and his Ozone troops' submarine quickly rose from the depths, moving away from the area. This tactical decision was made to prevent any harm from Commander Barbosa's intense attack on the hidden threat in the water.

_________________________

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!" Tracie screams, deftly dodging the torpedoes underwater.

In the midst of exploding torpedoes and Major Lexus's submarine strategically pulling back, Tracie's voice pierces through the tumultuous waters.

"You cowards! I almost got killed by your torpedoes!" she shouts from the cockpit of her Cybot Dark Angel.

Amidst the chaos of the clash between Earth Force and Ozone Empire in the depths of Manila Bay, Tracie's frustration echoes. The underwater battlefield remains tense, and the fate of both sides hangs in the balance.

The Cybot Dark Angel, a 36-foot marvel known for its speed and agility in close combat. Its cutting-edge noise control system allows it to move with swift precision, and the ability to manipulate light makes it nearly invisible during close encounters. This advanced Cybot excels across diverse terrains, showcasing versatility in land, water, and air battles.

However, its weakness lies in the lack of long-range firepower. Without machine guns for distant engagements, the Cybot Dark Angel relies on its exceptional close-quarters combat skills to dominate the battlefield. A technological marvel, it brings a unique blend of speed, stealth, and adaptability to warfare.

SSSSwaaaaaaaaaaazzzzhhhh!!!

Kaaaaaaagggg----Raaaaaahhhhh!!!

The Cybot Dark Angel rages on, slashing through Earth Force's Dashing Squids Robosuits with its Quantum Axeblade. Each swing wreaks havoc, turning operational units into wreckage. The true culprit is revealed—the formidable Cybot Dark Angel, a dominating force in Manila Bay's depths. Amidst the chaos, the Cybot deftly maneuvers, dodging Earth Force's torpedoes. The underwater battle echoes with clashes and explosions, showcasing the Cybot Dark Angel's destructive might and evasive skills.

It's now clear who caused the destruction of the Dashing Squids Robosuits in Manila Bay.

_____________________________

At the same time, Tracie skillfully dodges the never-ending stream of torpedoes from the Earth Force Ship! The underwater battle becomes a hectic struggle for survival, with explosive waves looming over her Cybot Dark Angel. Each escape is a tense moment, and with every second, the chase beneath Manila Bay's turbulent waters grows more perilous. The clash of explosions creates a high-stakes pursuit, elevating the adrenaline-fueled tension in this life-or-death underwater confrontation.

Slaaaaassshhhh!!!!

Zikkkkkvlaaaaaashhhh!!!

Slaaaaasshhhh!!!

Twaammmmmppppp!!!

"I'm coming for you, Earth Force! Get ready!" Tracie declares while expertly guiding the slashing Cybot Dark Angel through the Dashing Squids Robosuits!

Amidst the chaos, the uncontrolled fury of Cybot Dark Angel introduces an unpredictable element to the underwater clash, crafting a cinematic display of action and suspense. The result of this fierce underwater battle hangs in the balance, as both sides fiercely vie for control beneath the surface.

"EEEEEEEEEEEeeeeee!!!" Tracie's scream cuts through the chaos as torpedoes relentlessly rain down on her, making the already chaotic underwater battleground even more tumultuous. The explosions create a whirlwind of debris, further complicating navigation in the turbulent waters.

Kabooooooooommnnnn!!!

Kaaaabbbbbooooomnn!!!

Kabooooooooommnnnn!!!

Kaaaabbbbbooooomnn!!!

Trakak-bogoooooooomnnn!!!

Ka-goooooooommmnnn!!!

Explosions keep happening underwater, making a chaotic and destructive symphony.

"I need to get out of here," Tracie says urgently, steering the Cybot Dark Angel to dodge the ongoing attacks in Manila Bay.

Kaboooooooooomnnn!!!

Kagooooooomnnn!!!

Kaboooooooooomnnn!!!

Kagooooooomnnn!!!

"That might be the last batch of torpedoes," Tracie remarks, her keen instincts telling her that surviving the raindrops of massive torpedoes from Commander Barbosa's ship was a narrow escape.

_____________________

Kazhaaaaaaaannkk!!!

Kaaaaaaaziiiinkkk!!!

Unfazed, the Cybot Dark Angel persists in its fierce attack, cutting through the wreckage from the torpedo onslaught with its powerful Quantum Axeblade. The underwater battleground turns into a chaotic scene of destroyed Dashing Squid Robosuits, showcasing the intensity of the ongoing battle.

Kchaaaaaaankkkk!!!!

Ziiikkvlaaaaaaaaaasshhhh!!!

Tracie remains resilient amid relentless attacks, guiding the Cybot Dark Angel through rough waters with determination, despite physical exhaustion.

_______________________

"Aaaaarrrrrghhhh!!!" Tracie's cry echoes in the abyss, revealing the toll of the intense battle and the struggle to navigate the underwater chaos. The outcome of this clash remains uncertain as Tracie fights against the elements and the remnants of the Earth Force's assault.

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!" Tracie's panicked scream cuts through the chaos, the explosions echoing in the underwater battleground.

Trakak-bogoooooooomnnn!!!

Kagoooooooommmnnn!!!

___________________________

Despite the constant explosions, Tracie bravely clears a path through the debris, finding a moment of safety in the chaos. With determination, she declares, "Okay, I'm done here!" Her voice shows strength, even amidst the chaos. Quickly, she adjusts her Cybot Dark Angel's position underwater, pulling a lever to rise to a safer level.

Taaaaahhhiiiiiiiinnnnnkkk!!!

Klaaaaaakkkkk!!!

The Cybot Dark Angel rises, breaking through the surface of the sea with a powerful surge.

Splaaaaaaaasshhhhh!!!

"Let's get out of this mess!" Tracie asserts, her determination unwavering as she maneuvers through the turbulent waters, leaving the chaotic battleground behind. The surface awaits, providing a momentary escape from the underwater turmoil.

____________________

Splaaaaaaaasshhhhh!!!

Tahiiiiiiinkkk!!!!

With a resounding clang, the Cybot Dark Angel initiates its ascent from the depths of Manila Bay.

Tahiiiiinkkkk!!!!

Kazoooooooommmmnnn!!!

The Cybot Dark Angel shoots upward, each motion showcasing its strength. Breaking through the surface, it emerges victorious from the chaotic underwater battle. Hovering on the water's surface, it stands as a powerful presence amid the waves.

Splaaaaaaaasshhhhh!!!

"There you are!" Tracie's triumphant voice carries across the sea as she spots the Earth Force Ships in proximity.

Tahiiiiiinkkk!!!

"Sir! What is that?" The Earth Force troopers observe in astonishment as the Cybot Dark Angel reveals itself.

Tvuuuuuuuuummmnnn!!!

The Cybot Dark Angel's eyes light up, a warning of its formidable strength. Tension rises as both sides await the unfolding situation with increased anticipation.

"Oh no!" Commander Barbosa exclaimed, his surprise evident in his voice.

"It's a new Robosuit?" echoed the bewildered voices of the other Earth Force troopers, their uncertainty mirroring the intensity of the unfolding situation.

"Now, let's find out who's up first," Tracie declared from inside her Cybot Dark Angel, anger evident in her voice as she glared at the Earth Force Ships responsible for the torpedo onslaught that had almost taken her life underwater. Tension heightened as the imminent clash between the Cybot Dark Angel and the Earth Force Ships approached.

___________________________

"Sir! That might be the unregistered Robosuit that the survivors of the Dashing Squids Robosuits pilots were telling us earlier!" exclaimed the Earth Force troopers in commotion as they saw the Cybot Dark Angel looming near them.

"No! It's not a Robosuit! It is a Cybot!" declared Commander Barbosa, urgently making his way out of the Navy Ship's control room. Realizing there was no way to confront the formidable Cybot standing before them, the only option was to escape.

"Hurry! Jump in the water! Evacuate the ship! Evacuate the ships now!" Commander Barbosa arises from his seat and ordered and repeated.

The Earth Force troopers rushed to evacuate the ships, desperate to distance themselves from the impending threat.

______________________

Tahiiiiiiinkkk!!!

Taaaaahiiiiiinkkk!!!

The Cybot Dark Angel raised its left arm, menacingly targeting the Earth Force Ships. Tension filled the air as the situation intensified, prompting Earth Force troopers to scramble for safety.

Tvuuuuuuuummmnnnn!!!

The Cybot Dark Angel's mysterious weapon appears! It looks like a power drill-like weapon. The SKY DRILL! A massive signature weapon of Cybot Dark Angel aside from the Quantum Axe Blade!

The Cybot Dark Angel's Sky Drill zoomed through the air, controlled skillfully by Tracie. The spinning drill left behind a trail of destructive energy, heading straight for its target.

Tut tut tut tut!

TARGET ACQUIRED! -*computer voice*

"Take this!" Tracie exclaimed, her voice filled with determination, as she unleashed the full power of the Cybot Dark Angel's signature weapon.

Kazzzoooooooommnnn!!!

KKKaaaaaabbbb---raaaaammnnn!!!

The Sky Drill collided with its intended target in a cataclysmic explosion of energy and debris.

Kavlaaaaaaaaaasshhhh!!!

Kaaaaaagggg-raaaaasshhhhh!!!

The impact echoed through the air, a testament to the sheer force unleashed by the powerful weapon.

Kblaaaaaaaaamnnn!!!!

The Sky Drill's relentless assault continued, piercing through the defenses with unyielding precision.

Kaaaabbbbbbbgooooomnn!!!

The resulting explosion resonated, marking the triumph of Cybot Dark Angel and the devastation left in the wake of its formidable Sky Drill.

TrakaaaakkkkBoooggooooooommmnnn!!!

Kaaaaa----GGggggoooooommmnnnn!!!

"Major Lexus! Sir! The Earth Force Ship above us lost its signal!" Lieutenant Farah exclaimed, her eyes on the radar.

"There must be someone who's behind this," the other Ozone troopers in the radar room reacted with concern.

"Never mind that, focus on Lieutenant Gyro's task," Major Lexus commanded, his attention unwavering.

The submarine continued its journey through the depths of Manila Bay, the mysteries of the ocean hiding the unfolding events.

_________________________

"Rest in peace," Tracie murmured inside the Cybot Dark Angel, her gaze fixed on the sinking Earth Force Ships.

The sinking ship echoed the unresolved conflict and the heavy decisions of battle, reflecting the ongoing tensions between Earth Force and the Ozone Empire, hinting at a looming conflict.

"Damn. The Earth Force's Underwater Robosuits and its ships had just wiped out!" Lieutenant Farah said while looking closely at their submarine's radar.
