Once he got ready, Xerox did not pay any attention to if Charlotte had stayed or gone to rescue. Sneaking in through the North entrance of the substation, he made it through to the hanger. In the hanger, most of the mechas were charging, but two were ready, a SAM08G and a GIM52A. Exactly what he needed. Laying out his tools from his toolbox and some other equipment, he was spotted. An alarm was blaring aloud. It was to Xerox's plan and expectations. Equipping his gauntlet and taking his spanner off his back, he prepared for battle. Soldiers pouring into the hanger. Not wanting to shoot, in case they ricocheted in the enclosed space. The hand with the gauntlet extended at a frightful pace, launching some disc blades, cutting through some soldiers at random. Numbers were charging at him.
Xerox was vastly outnumbered, but he was taking down numerous soldiers while taking a few hits. Smashing them with his giant spanner, and with powerful punches and kicks. Taking some cuts, kicks and punches, he must of taken about 50 in this manner. His gauntlet had a low number of discs to launch, and had ended up using it's other disassembled form as a whip to get some range. Taking another punch, Xerox felt power surge through him. Power, energy, adrenaline, whatever it was to be called, it was time for him to unleash it. Slamming his spanner down, and punching it on a certain spot, it reverberated. A shock wave pushed people back. He had the room, he had his tools. It was time for the Rise of the Machines.
Rushing towards the two mechas, with tools in hand, he disassembled the SAM08G and GIM52A at lightning speed. The soldiers tried to come in to attack him but were in awe at the speed he was disassembling the two machines. Not only that, they had trouble approaching, the spanner on the ground would vibrate again and again, causing a shock waves. The shock waves were smaller, but prevented them from engaging him. Over the course of 10 seconds he had disassembled the two machines. He then began assembly. Combining the power sources, and reconfiguring the limbs, the joints, everything was changed. Xerox's limit break was fading away. Finishing it, he had combined the two mechas, creating his first full-sized mecha. It's performance, firepower, everything was superior to it's previously uncombined parts. It was only inferior in it's power usage, consuming more power for the speed to move.
Taking his spanner and tools, the soldiers tried to charge at him, the mecha, being changed to a voice activated control, swept the Galbadian soldiers through the wall with it's arm as Xerox called out, "Left arm sweep 14 meters." A large portion of soldiers were hit against the wall, bleeding all over, dying. The others ran, trying to get backup and getting into some of the mechas outside. "Down." Xerox commanded, the mecha leaned down, and Xerox got up on it. "Forward". he called out, it started moving forward, walking through the wall of the hanger. It won't last long though, only about 5 more minutes of juice It was difficult to give it power efficiency while boosting power and mobility. It continued through the front entrance to the East, squashing some of the soldiers and not being effected by their attacks.
"Stop." Xerox commanded once more, having taken some distance from the substation. "Fire the Type D explosives." he called out. Having modified the machines, he also disassembled the weapons and made better weapons. With this, the mecha had fired at the substation, blowing up the whole substation in a giant explosion, followed by he explosions of the mechas in the substation. Within seconds, the mecha powered down. The enemies scattered away from the substation, the few who remained alive at least did. Getting down, Xerox activated his ESS, underneath the mecha, and it fell into the rift, being stored away. "Mission complete." he felt relieved, but he was in danger. Taking cover to the trees, he had little energy left after forcing his limit break Rise of the Machines to last longer than it should have. He sat down, on alert. Taking a few potions from his ESS he waited to recover.
Suddenly, in the direction of the tower, Xerox saw the beam of light coming from it. Communication? But, the interference ... Unless ... Xerox had a bad feeling and was suspicious abut some sources of information, but could not do much, he continued to rest, until Charlotte would hopefully use the item he left with her.
Rue painfully watched the Vinzer come into his mane. Normally uncomfortable about the idea, he had to accept it at this point in time. After it had nestled in, Rue continued to move. Vinzer was not heavy, so Rue could move at a reasonable pace. Seeing soldiers, Rue flanked around, climbing the tower with it's own limbs.
He watched the situation unfold of the beginning of the interrogation, but he could not just go gun-ho and jump in. Rue understood, he had limited fighting capability, against many opponents like this. Suddenly he heard Eika approaching and eventually coming up the tower, followed by Syrus and what seemed like the other SeeD that came to assist Jericho. With Eika taking attention, followed by Syrus who froze the girl and Jericho who started to fight, the attention was drawn onto the three. Waiting a little longer, Rue jumped down, deploying the DS to shield bash the lieutenant, Ace from above. Landing, he quickly went to free the captured Instructor Duncan. Although, he was sure the Instructor did not want him around, Rue was still obliged to help with the rescue. The moomba's shield was rather big for the moomba himself, but it's fine, since it was designed for human use. While freeing the Instructor, Rue was sure to keep the shield between himself or Duncan and any assailant.
