Chapter 25: Machines Of War

At Wutai, the only warning that Alex was able to give to Godo was Shinra is starting to get more serious in their efforts to make them kneel.

Currently, the engineers and mechanics were finishing up the last touches so they could send out the bots to cause absolute mayhem on Wutai.

"Fuck, this is going to be a shit show. Stupid ass Wutai being jackasses. They don't know what they're dealing with." Ramiel sighed in exasperation. As they might have fucked up the plan entirely. Dead or not, the perpetrators have messed with the equilibrium.

"Sir, what would you like to control with your sister?" One of the engineers went up to him and was excited to have one of their machines be controlled by a 1st class SOLDIER. Basically a god amongst men.

"Hmmm, I guess I'll take the armored infantry troop? But I'll change something about it first." Ramiel gave a shocking answer to the lead engineer.

"But sir, wouldn't the scorpion sentinel the best for you two? Having the most versatility and mobility of all the robots?" The engineer was confused and Ramiel patted him on the back.

"Let me show you how lethal those things can be with the proper user." Ramiel smirked at him and they went to the makeshift hangar where the robots were in storage.

Ramiel picked a brand new armored shock trooper and replaced its armor with sturdier metals. He then deleted the current AI operating system of the machine and replaced it with his RPG one where he could control it with virtual reality.

He also took off the machine gun arm to make the thing much lighter and replaced it with a small Mako capacitor for some extra juice. Putting one of his natural made Materia on it and added a couple of few arms with handheld light sabers instead of it being built in.

"There, all done. I guess Alexandra would want one as well." Ramiel nodded in satisfaction at his work. He proceeded to make one more for Alexandra, though it is much more tame. Without the extra arms and just having a light saber on it. As she preferred to use one weapon.

"Umm, commander Ramiel. That will definitely fry someone's brain if you connect with that thing through a deep dive. Are you sure you'll both be fine with that?" The engineer marvelled at the modifications and wanted him in the weapons development department.

"Of course, this will be fine. Oh, I'm missing something." Ramiel took out a spray can and started painting a silhouette of an angel on the chest plate of the robot. He also added a one winged angel on Alexandra's.

"Okay, let's rock." Ramiel returned to their HQ that was located at the farthest part which was the beach at the south. The scouts quickly erected strong radio towers and redirected their satellite's functions at Wutai so they could have great communication.

"Now, let's commence our little mission then." Ramiel will pressure Wutai a bit so they could take them more seriously. How horrible machines made only for war and destruction are. They committed war crimes first. Then it's fair game.

"Hmph, they're very lucky my brother isn't an evil bastard." Alexandra remembered one of the compounds in his storage. Nerve agents, absolutely evil chemicals that would give the victims a horrible end worse than a dog's death.

Ramiel synthesized one based on his knowledge back in earth about a medication that cures diseases that cause nerve damage. A derivative of neostigmine that has a trifluoro ketone on it. A nerve agent so toxic it could even affect the twins due to its properties.

A part of the G-series nerve agents, once administered to a human and binds to receptors. It was basically incurable. Also working incredibly quickly with 100 times more potency than Sarin nerve gas. And Ramiel could supplement its instability with Mako. Meaning he could launch a chemical attack at a whole city and everyone can drop dead in just minutes.

At the front lines, a battalion of robots marched through the forests and was being led by two small armored robots that were clearly a cut above the rest.

The trees were being trampled by the scorpion sentinels. The crab wardens and Gigantipedes just rolled through them like sticks.

It was definitely not a stealthy army. But that wasn't what they were aiming for in the first place. Shinra was going for the brute force approach. And machines were easily replaceable.

Also, a shipment of parts and more robot soldiers were already on the way. Shinra was really furious about the loss of many 2nd class SOLDIERs.

The march was stopped by heavy amounts of gunfire that came from the cover of the trees. Which Wutai loves to do, but their guns couldn't do anything and the Scorpion sentinels charged up their lasers in their heavy tails. The machines swiped their beams of heat that could cut through steel through the forest and everything went quiet. Shortly accompanied by the sound of trees falling down.

The army continued its march and after a while of their tireless and rhythmic advance. A battalion of Wutai soldiers were waiting for them. Dozens of monsters with them that wielded their large axes and blunt weapons.

They were being led by the elite group of Wutai, the crescent unit. Wearing samurai like armor while wielding gun lances.

"Fire at will, no more words are needed." Ramiel ordered. The Gigantipedes and Crab wardens immediately aimed their missiles at the enemies and launched everything they could.

Hundreds of missiles were launched at the opposing army and the roar of high caliber machine guns began to reap the lives of the enemy.

"Quickly! Cast your best shields!" The commander of the opposing army ordered and was quite surprised by the breach of the etiquette of war.

The missiles crashed at the Wutai side and rained hellfire on them. They were just barely able to cast barrier spells with Materias. But a lot of soldiers still died. And continued to do so with the merciless gunfire of the shock troops.

Ramiel and Alexandra who were controlling their robots entered the fray and stood in front of the commander.

"General Kenobi, you are a bold one. Leading your troops here after you violate the Geneva suggestion." Ramiel spoke through the speakers. But the commander was confused about the whole thing.

Ramiel brandished his light sabers and one of the robot's hands gestured for a choke. The commander started to float and was having a hard time breathing, his eyes widening in shock.

"I hope Godo doesn't value you too much, because nobody here will be leaving alive." Ramiel looked at Alexandra's robot and she nodded, jumping into the fray as her skillful mastery of the blade sliced through the enemy troops without mercy. With every slash of her light saber, they exploded into bloody pulps with the superheated weapon.
