    Mimics, perhaps among the most dangerous of all the Xenoids, these aliens absorb the Machine Warrior bodies and turn them into their body, they go as far as assimting their internal circuits and be "pilots" of such machines, whichplement their powers and grant them the ability to do many modifications on the go.


    They were also perhaps much smarter than the Normal Xenoid and the Brute Xenoid, capable of much more advanced thinking process, prediction and theorization, they could instantly predict movements, n out strategies, and y with their victims.


    "G-Get away from meee!"


    "Why?! Help meee!"


    "N-No, you''re not real!"


    "Help meee! It hurts!"


    They reproduced the sounds of the former pilots that died inside the machines to y with the heads of their enemies, either luring them closer or making them panic, enough for them to easily lower their guard.


    The pilots were surrounded by the mimics, who mocked them as they continued talking in the voices of their fallenrades.


    "Please help me…!"


    "Don''t believe ke, he''s a hack!"


    "We need your help!"


    "We''re inside! Please free us!"


    The pilots continued trembling as they heard the voices, shing against the Mimics while bing slower and hesitating. The mimics took advantage of that, attacking fiercely with powerful weapons and great reflexes.


    CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!


    "Aaaaggghh! Heeelp!"


    One of the pilots got caught in between their tentacles and then had their chest pierced by an electrified, fleshy red spear, dying as the machine warrior''s core exploded.


    BOOOM!


    The other pilots panicked as they nced at one another noticing how far they were from ke and his three generals, things looked hopeless!


    "We shouldn''t have ran away out of panic, dammit!"


    "T-This is all your damn fault!"


    "No, it''s your fault you fuck!"


    "I didn''t do anything!"


    ming each other and fighting against one another, these pilots only ended worsening things for them, as the mimicsughed maniacally, seeing how they were making them fight between pilots!


    They got closer, and closer, and closer, creeping in to take another victim!


    Yet…


    FLASH!


    A giant crimson spear reached the nearest Mimic, piercing their chest and then exploding into zing crimson mes.


    BOOOM!


    The Xenoid inside screamed in agony as it died burned and destroyed, while the other Mimics nced in disbelief at the scene as a crimson colored, thin-looking machine appeared.


    She looked nothing like the other Machine Warriors, with a feminine and slender figure, apletely unique model never seen before!


    "W-Who''s that?!"


    "Ah, is that…?!"


    "ke''s robot?"


    As the surviving pilots nced at her, she suddenly disappeared, resembling a spark of crimson light, and then reappeared again above the heads of the mimics, swinging her crimson spear once more which returned to her hand.


    "I won''t let you touch them."


    SLAAASH!


    She swung the spear horizontally, releasing a huge wave of me-like demonic and vampiric aura, infused to the brim with electromaic energies.


    Eleanora was able to also use her spear techniques through these huge spear weapons, recing Mana and Spirit Energy with Demonic Energy and Electromaic Energy, it worked!


    "Gryyaaeerrgh!"


    The Mimics screamed in agony as they were sliced apart, only for Eleanora to rush forward and stab their bodies several times, finishing them off one after another after they exploded.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    "Are you okay?! Return with the other generals!" Eleanora said.


    "Y-Yes!"


    The surviving pilots, five of them, flew away as quickly as possible, reaching the other pilots and forming a muchrger, resilient troop.


    Eleanora followed them, but shed against the iing Xenoids that chased them after, using her nimble body to easily move around space as if even the stillness of space wasn''t a burden to her.


    Her speed was so high it was virtually teleportation in these conditions of zero gravity… In fact, it was all within her fictional sci-fi machine, made with the mechanics of the VR Game, its ability to move at lightning speed was perhaps exaggerated.


    However, this exaggeration gave her tremendous speed and power.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    The Xenoids could simply not even touch her.


    "We have to quickly get back with ke, those Xenoid Titans are nning something weird!"


    Meanwhile, a simr scene was going on as a huge spider machine moved across space, creating spiderwebs out of electricity and using them to capture the Xenoids, frying them slowly while injecting acidic venom inside of them.


    "Uwaah, that''s amazing!"


    "I never thought there was such a machine warrior model before?!"


    "That''s not a machine warrior, it''s more like a personal model?!"


    The pilots watching the scene couldn''t believe it, as Hendrick seamlessly fought dozens of foes on his own, capturing them and weakening them for the pilots to finish off one after another.


    "Master is nearby, let''s regroup with him!"


    Hendrick led the pilots further towards therge quantity of pilots and machines, rapidly bing one with their squadrons.


    At the same time, Saphira controlled her machine the same one that her father piloted in the VR Game, infusing her powers into it, her demonic and electromaic energies manifested as immense and paralyzing cold.


    The Xenoids that dared get closer were immediately beginning to freeze as they touched her aura, all while having their muscle tissue paralyzed almost instantly.


    This coupled with the machine guns enchanted by her possession powers made it so she could bombard them with freezing attacks with ease.


    BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!


    "You''re not getting closer to the survivors!" she said angrily. "This is a bit weird to use, but not too bad either! Please, survivors,e with me!"


    She led the survivors to the safer areas with many other pilots to protect one another while she gunned any Xenoid that drew closer, freezing them into giant ice cubes.


    As all the pilots wereing together after ke''smands, he nodded, ncing at the three Xenoid Titans. The rest of the surviving smaller Xenoids, roughly a hundred and fifty more, gathered around them, as both armies regrouped and nced at one another.


    "If we cannot beat you on our own then… we shall unify, as we''ve always been one and the same."


    One of the Xenoid Titans spread out their arms, as the smaller Xenoids started fusing with his flesh and blood, all while the other two Titans began to hug him, fusing with him as well.


    "So this is what they''re going to do…"
