Gears threw out it's mouth, intending to bite off Cypher's head but he stepped to the side.
[Fire Beam Activated]
A blaze of fire erupted in Cypher's left hand and was released at Gears, blasting it away and causing it to smash into one of the statues in the park.
[Todoroki Shoto Selected]
[Strength: 12]
[Agility: 17]
[Speed: 21]
[Level: 2]
[Skills available: Ice Path, Fireball, Fire Beam]
After levelling up different characters, the stats of the characters increased and they also gained an extra skill. So cool! Ryan thought.
Gears quickly got up while Ryan was distracted by his thoughts and ran towards him while opening it's wide jaw with powerful teeth.
But Shadow arrived just in time and blocked the attack.
[Shadow Wall Activated]
A wall made of swirling shadows manifested in front of Ryan and blocked the attack. Instead of thanking Neo with his words, Cypher just nodded.

Meanwhile, Silver and Voltage ran speedily towards Andy.
"You're not the only ones with cool Mech suits." Andy tapped a silver wrist band and suddenly, he began to be covered head to toe in metal. His head was the only thing that wasn't completely covered except for a mask. The Metal was red with white and black stripes on the boots and gloves with sharp exterior objects. He also had an extra limb coming from behind him like a long tail.
"He's like a Tiger." Silver thought as she threw out a Metal boomerang towards him but it didn't do anything to his chestplate and it returned to her.
Voltage was finally in striking distance and activated a Skill.
[Surge Palms Activated]
[-10 Energy]
Voltage through a punch and instead of electrocuting him, Andy's armor was Mech Suit chestplate was only slightly scratched by him.
"Weak. Given your abilities, you should have done more damage." Andy grabbed Voltage's head and squeezed it tightly before kicking him back.
Luckily, Silver was there to catch him.
"Are you alright?" Jane asked.
"Yeah, I am. But his suit is so powerful. It has to be made partially if not entirely out of Yunec." Jason told her and she was shocked.
[Damage has been recieved]
"Don't heal it yet." Jason gave a command.
[Damage has not been regenerated]
Silver and Voltage ran towards Andy again.
"The same attempt?" Andy sighed and the tail on his suit extended out in front of him and began to change. It transformed into a pointer and began shooting lasers towards them.
[Thunder Barrier Activated]
[-10 Energy]
Voltage's attack blocked the numerous lasers coming towards him while Silver pulled out a bigger metal boomerang and threw it at Andy, managing to slice off the tail part of his suit.
"Good one. But that was the only part of it made of regular steel." Andy's steel claws became sharper and he ran towards them but for some reason, he hesitated and this gave Voltage an opening.
'I didn't even notice.' Andy thought.
Voltage threw a kick at him but Andy raised up his arm in time and blocked it. Andy then threw a strike at him with his claws and pierced through his face, leaving claw marks.
"Ja.. Voltage!" Silver wanted to help so much but all the gear she had on her proved to be ineffective. Since Jason wasn't a professional, he didn't have access to special metal to make his Mechs powerful.
* * * *
Cypher selected Ice Path and tried to trap Gears in the cold ice. The ice took some time because the two of them were quite a distance away.
Shadow worked on keeping the Mech Tiger in one place. Gears pinned Shadow to the ground and attempted to sink it's teeth into him but luckily he activated the Shadow Skin Skill and prevented any damage.
[Abyssal Bolt Activated]
Shadow released the powerful black ball at Gears' face, causing it to fly into the sky and shortly landed on the ground. When the Tiger got up again, it didn't see Shadow again. Instead, it saw itself being consumed in cold ice from it's legs up to it's neck.
They wanted to celebrate but with that kind of technology, they doubted it was done yet especially since the ice stopped just on it's chin.
*Roar
Gears' insides began to glow up in a mesmerizing purple color and in a powerful wave of energy, it broke out of the ice.
"Huh?" Cypher was shocked.
With this increase in power, Gears prowled towards Cypher and strike the latter with it's sharp claws, causing blood to drip from Cypher's chest.
[Severe damage has been taken]
[-30 Energy]
[Injury Healed]
Shadow grabbed Cypher and quickly activated the Shadow Hop, jumping into the air but the Mech Tiger followed suit and jumped even higher than they could.
After fully recovering, Cypher turned around and quickly changed forms.
[Katsuki Bakugo Selected]
[-5 Energy]
[AP Shot Selected]
Cypher released numerous explosion bullets towards the Mech Tiger and managed to stifle it's approach, making it fall to the ground.
[Energy: 35/100]
Shadow landed them back on the ground but they also noticed that Gears was still standing although partly damaged since it's legs were missing a few parts.
* * * *
When Voltage had levelled up, instead of giving him two Basic Skills like Shadow, it gave him just one Skill.
[Volt Wave Activated]
A release of violent blue lightning bolts was released towards Andy and they managed to push him back, causing him to stagger a bit but he got his footing back after a few seconds.
"Pathe.." Andy wanted to finish when he realized that someone was pointing what used to be his Tail Laser strapped to their hand behind him.
"I may not have good tech but I know how to make good Mechs." Silver said. While they were busy fighting, she had picked up the broken tail and done her magic.
"It's you. Such a beauty, I must say." Andy said, charmed by her and she blushed a bit.
"What are you talking about? Why are you treating me like this?"
"I would never hit a lady but tell me, why are you with these.. crude boys?" Andy asked her with a slight frown as she still pointed her new laser towards him.
"Why are you after the Watch?" Silver asked him, ready to pull the trigger if he didn't answer.
"I can't tell you that, can I?" Andy smiled as he dashed towards her before she could pull the trigger and disarmed it before leaving her tied up to the ground with special metal ropes.
"And as for you.." Andy ran back towards Voltage.
* * * *
[Explosion Blast Activated]
[-10 Energy]
Cypher shot out a close range explosive attack and Neo followed up with a kick. Gears tried to grab his leg but Neo slyly spread his legs out and performed a split then used the Abyssal Bolt and blasted Gears away from them.
[Energy: 25/100]
As Andy was running towards Voltage, Gears had hit him and smashed most of his suit and Gears was also affected, losing all four legs.
Andy got up but saw Cypher, Voltage, Shadow and Silver in front of him. Andy quickly got up and tried to punch them but Voltage activated his Thunder Barrier quickly and stopped his attack.
They didn't even realize it but there were a few helicopters flying above their heads as well as news reporters hiding in the park and had captured most of what had happened.
* * * *
Meanwhile, five cars were rushing towards the Park at a faster speed than was possible for cars. The cars were a shiny silver color with a G on each side written in black.
In the car at the very front, a beautiful purple-haired woman was there but unlike regular cars, this one drove on it's own with just a GPS.
"Why did this take so long?!" She asked no one in particular, trying to mask her anger.
"We had the coordinates wrong six times? Someone must have hacked into the system?" Liz thought as she could finally see the open gate of the park. Hovering above the park, she could see a few helicopters and reporters with their cameras on.
Once she walked in with her squadron, she saw a group of four people wearing clothes like those out of a comic book or anime.
"What are you four doing here?" She couldn't tell who they were but they looked like teenagers. When she said this, she got their attention and they turned around. She also realized that there were two figures behind with one of them looking like a robotic large animal.
* * * *
Cypher transformed again after he and his friends saw the Gyro behind them.
[Finral Roulacase Selected]
Ryan's hair became brown with a streak of green dye at the edges. He also had a green shirt and brown trousers with a black shoulder coat on with a bull on it.
[-5 Energy]
[Spatial Portal Selected]
A green portal appeared below Andy and Gears and they disappeared to wherever Cypher had chosen to send them.
"Hey wait!" Liz shouted, ready to stop them but they disappeared into another portal.
"Who were they?"
Someone commented under a video about Cypher, Silver, Shadow and Voltage.
"Yeah. They looked like superheroes."
"The one who opened that portal seemed to be their leader and I remember him calling himself Cypher."
"So they must be called Team Cypher."
"Nah, that's lame."
"How 'bout Cypher Squad?" One of them commented.
