Tyrantula

As GENESIS initiated its assault on Tyrantula, the mech's sword whirled through the air, aiming to strike it. Yet, before the blade could make contact, Tyrantula responded with a flurry of relentless attacks, its metallic limbs moving with unnerving speed and precision.

Joseph, in control of GENESIS, executed evasive maneuvers, luring Tyrantula's attention toward the sleek, agile machine. Each calculated movement aimed to keep the spider mech focused on GENESIS, providing a window of opportunity for the Hell Brothers and BEOWULF.

Meanwhile, the Hell Brothers, Asher and Felix, seized the moment. Charging up their plasma cannons. The duo waited for the optimal charge, a moment that could tilt the battle in their favor.

But Tyrantula, with its heightened sensory abilities, detected the energy surge building between the Hell Brothers' plasma cannons. With swift and alarming agility, it diverted its attention from GENESIS and lunged toward them, aiming to disrupt their charging process.

Tyrantula wielding its menacing scythes with all four of its formidable arms. The lethal blades gleamed menacingly as they sliced through the air, aimed at Asher and Felix's mechs.

Sensing an opportunity amidst the chaos, BEOWULF seized the moment. With unparalleled precision, he aimed his rifle, releasing a shot intended to divert Tyrantula's attention. The bullet streaked through the air, a mere distraction in the grand scheme of the battle.

Tyrantula, its sensors heightened to an extraordinary level, detected the incoming projectile. In a swift, almost eerie response, it halted its assault on the Hell Brothers and evaded the bullet's trajectory, showcasing its unparalleled agility and reflexes.

Joseph's surprise echoed through the chaos, "He dodged it?!"

William, calm and collected in the face of adversity, remarked, "I see. We'll need to try another approach."

Abu's taunting words cut through the tension, "Hahahah! Is that all you've got?"

Abu begin his first move by Tyrantula leaped high into the air, its mechanical legs propelling it with stunning agility. With a thunderous force, the spider-inspired mech delivered a powerful thrust kick aimed directly at Felix.

"Felix!" Asher's voice rang out in shock and desperation. The clash of metal echoed across the battlefield as Tyrantula's powerful kick struck half of Felix's mech.

Enraged by the sight of Felix's partially destroyed mech, Asher seethed, "How dare you!" His mech's systems hummed with charged energy, powering up the plasma cannon as he hurtled toward Tyrantula.

With a furious roar, Asher unleashed the plasma cannon's searing blast at Tyrantula, but to his dismay, nothing seemed to affect the menacing mech.

"Hahahahahaha! Nothing happened!" Abu's mocking laughter reverberated through the chaos.

However, in a sudden turn of events, GENESIS swiftly struck the backside of Tyrantula, leaving behind a series of ominous cracks.

Joseph's voice cut through the tension, "It's working?"

Seizing the opportunity, Asher maneuvered his mech with lightning speed, targeting the crack marks on Tyrantula's back armor. A precise shot from his plasma cannon hit the vulnerable spot, momentarily paralyzing Tyrantula.

"Hahahaha, I see... you managed to strike me," Abu's voice echoed with a mix of surprise and acknowledgment at their successful strike against Tyrantula.

As Tyrantula activated its additional arms, Abu's voice resonated, "Time to get serious." The mech expanded, morphing from its initial four arms into a daunting six-armed monstrosity, stunning both William and Joseph.

Tyrantula swiftly pivoted toward Asher's mech, its three right arms brandishing scythe-like blades. In a brutal assault, it struck, cleaving through half of Asher's machine, leaving a path of destruction in its wake.

"Darn it!" Asher's voice echoed with sudden shock and frustration at the devastating blow.

As Tyrantula prepared to deliver the final blow to Asher and his mech, BEOWULF seized the moment, taking aim with his rifle. The bullet streaked toward Tyrantula, but the formidable mech intercepted it, slicing it cleanly in half. However, it was a diversion—BEOWULF swiftly reappeared behind Tyrantula, his rifle transformed into a high-tech cutting weapon.

Just as BEOWULF was about to strike, Tyrantula, with lightning reflexes, evaded the attack by leaping backward, narrowly escaping BEOWULF's calculated assault.

Joseph's surprise was palpable as he exclaimed, "BEOWULF!"

William's response was calm yet filled with a hint of concern, "Things are getting pretty wild right now."

Joseph inquired with a sense of urgency, "Are you going to activate that thing?" referring to BEOWULF's Berserk mode.

William hesitated, his voice tinged with caution, "Maybe... but we don't know what might happen. I don't want to risk harming my comrades."

William's voice cut through the tension, "But don't worry, if we follow my plan, we might be able to defeat him."

Suddenly, Abu's maniacal laughter echoed across the battlefield, sending chills down Joseph and William's spines. "Hahahhahahahaha!"

Confusion gripped Joseph and William. "Huh?" they uttered simultaneously.

Abu continued with a twisted glee, "You know, the Bartender had a daughter... You want to know what happened?"

Joseph, a mix of shock and disbelief in his voice, asked, "What?"

"I killed her," Abu's words dripped with a chilling nonchalance.

"The day the Bartender freed me from slavery, that very night, I decided to end her life! Hahahahahaha," Abu laughed maniacally, reveling in the horror of his confession.

William's shock turned into a frustrated grunt. "Tskk!"

Joseph, struggling to contain his anger, seethed, "How could you..."

The revelation sent shockwaves through the Silver Prism Motherbase. Crimson Queen and Lionel Lockhart, usually composed and collected, were left in stunned silence at the depth of Abu's depravity and cruelty.

"Before I end her life, I want her to feel the agony," Abu uttered calmly, sending a chill. "I'll make sure she can't move, cutting the nerves in her hands and legs."

William recoiled in shock, "What in the world are you planning?"

Joseph, restraining his anger.

Unfazed, Abu continued, "Once she's immobilized, I'll end it slowly, slicing her throat until the final breath escapes."

Joseph couldn't contain his outrage any longer. "How dare you!" he erupted. Suddenly, a surge of emotion ignited GENESIS. Its mechanisms thrummed to life, and across the screen, the letters G.E.N.E.S.I.S. glowed in a vibrant ruby hue, signaling the awakening of its latent power.

William's voice cut through the tension, urging Joseph to keep his composure.In a sudden burst of uncharacteristic action, Joseph maneuvered GENESIS into an unexpected move.

With astonishing agility, the mech delivered a powerful, bone-jarring kick to Tyrantula, sending it reeling. Everyone present could feel the shift in Joseph; this time, it was evident that he was different.

GENESIS advanced slowly toward the incapacitated Tyrantula.From within the cockpit of Tyrantula, Abu's voice resonated with an unsettling satisfaction after being struck by GENESIS. "Yes! This is what I wanted!"

Joseph approached, his voice dripping with disdain. "Someone like you shouldn't even be called human. Even animals are better than you," he seethed, as GENESIS aimed its sword menacingly at Tyrantula.
