[ Tech building ]
Whence Luna and Senya finally decided to nest, the CF core wasn't the only thing in the room emanating a warm blue.
Behind a pair of glowing sparks no doubt would spook the twin Technicians, following an urging voice, too little to be of any danger, pressing them to not judge any harm upon him.
"It's me! It's me, Neon!" The leader of Soldier arrested their attention, shortly before stating the obvious; "The lights went out!" Nice call, genius. Intent on helping, though not sure with what, Neon scooched down to where Luna was working, to where his whole face, not just his eyes, were illuminated by the compound's heartbeat.
Instantly intrigued by anything shiny, what caught Neon's eye was not merely the CF engine, but that same glow pumping from Luna's stellar gloves as well.
"Luna, what is this...?" He asked, observing her work around it. The explosion knocked him back to his feet, drawing one of his famed spray cans in effort to prepare himself for a fight. "And what the s**t is going on outside?!" Nice choice of words too.
It's the Che Guevara," In enter Romeo, who managed to lift the rest of Luna's garage door with little effort. The cyborg entered pulling up his sleeves, prepared to go to work. "The Elite Guard's flagship from way back in the day."
"Well, why's it attacking us?!" Neon seemed less concerned with the fact that an airship practically from beyond the grave was attacking them, and more that it was the VHEG themselves. Which, honestly was a good call on his part.
"For the last ******** time, even if the VHEG still were around, aren't we cool with them now?? This all seems very deus ex machina if you ask me," He noted, placing his hands at his waist.
"They seem to be forcing their attacks on the D-men though,"
"Dude, I don't care!" Neon stomped, leaning against the window. "If they have a problem with one of us, they have a problem with all of us." Suddenly flipped over like a pancake, Rome made no effort to level his strength, asserting the commanding Soldier rightfully.
"Neon! When're you gonna get it through your head, man? All the Techs know it," Rome began to explain. "Tenack and his dogs are psychopaths! Whaddya think those first few coupla months a peace were, for free? I warned ya, now s**t's hitting the fan!" The cyborg asserted. "Kiba and his crazy relatives bided their time, and now they're finally starting to fight back!"
Yanking Rome's hand away, with strength rivaling the cyborg, Neon looked into his eyes sternly.
"You don't think I know all that?? We'll deal with the Demo problem, not them." He let go off his friend's arm. "In the mean time, we can't start ousting our own. If we lose the Demo's navy, we won't have any other big-rigs to fight for us. We'll be sitting ducks!"
Indeed, after the Zurg War, battles had become just as aerial as they were on the ground. Since the introduction of airships... war had evolved.
