Humanity hope.

Meanwhile, Rex's distraction worked a little too well. Even the leader of the Iron Teeth and his twelve minions had joined the skirmish, charging in like a storm, sending the Aegis units flying. Fortunately, the energy shields held, and there wasn't too much damage.

"I am Kairos! Leader of the Iron Teeth! Face me, if you dare!" bellowed the quadrupedal figure, clearly enjoying the theatrics.

Rex, shaking his head, sighed. "Is this guy serious? What year does he think it is? Who shouts out their location and demands a duel these days?"

He straightened up, his voice calm but filled with obvious disappointment. "All units, focus fire on that big idiot."

Without hesitation, the Aegis units opened fire. A storm of golden plasma bullets rained down on Kairos. The would-be warrior yelped in outrage, trying to dodge, but there were just too many shots coming his way.
