their rolls throw off her aim

  One is in prone, shooting at her, can’t get an angle of him

  The last one is going for the kill, mindlessly running towards her

  Emptying his X-86 to her, but her Speed Boost ability prevents easy death

  She shoots at the rusher; both of the soldiers are going towards her

  Enhancing her armor for situations like these

  One is down, two more to worry

  Keeping her distances from them, it doesn’t matter if her aim gets off at times

  These guys are skilled, and they know what they’re doing

  Eventually, her Speed Boost ability and her aim make her victorious

  A little bit of hide and seek also helped

  More soldiers are on their way, she hopes it isn’t more of them

  Reinforcement of standard Troopers and a couple of Leaders

  She needs to make it out of alive; exhaustion is starting to get her

 

  The element of surprise and stealth helped her through the onslaught

  It’s not over yet, she hears more noises

  Already in hiding position

  It seems like she’s going to fight the last two mechs

  There are only two more Vanguards left

  They're rapidly trying to look for her

  Hiding behind one of the buildings

  She waits patiently, when she can make her move

  Her blade will be the destroyer of the machine

  She sees her opponent; she climbs on its back, and stabs it multiple times

  One is down, one more to go

  The last Vanguard hears the stabbing; it's following where it hears it

  Thrusting two grenades at the Vanguard, it's still standing

  It shoots randomly within the area, hit nothing

  Angela out of nowhere, jumps on its face

  Stabbing the user's heart in the mech

  The invasion is only getting tough, where she’s dealing much more advanced units

  But she eventually survives the nightmare and lives to see another day

  Her fight is over, eight minutes have passed by

  Eight minutes of fighting for her life

  Eight minutes of taking their lives

  Exhausted and wounded, but rewarded

  Confederate Harriers carpet bombing and shooting missiles at their foes

  The Bloodhounds have no chance, but to retreat from their enemy

  As the buildings collapses, some of them meet their end

  She’s content of the outcome, enjoying the scenery of death of her foes

  In the cold night, she sees nothing but corpses

  Most of the corpses are from her

  She never sees the intention of herself to kill this many bodies

  But it’s the only option she has, to reach her destination

  The woman doesn’t have the time to delay

  Ever, until her main objective is done

  Promising her fate

  My Puppet (Obey Me)

  Behind the war, is a man

  Behind the man, is a mind

  But the mind isn't behind the decision

  It is a possession by something behind his computer monitor

  She controls him as her puppet

  He obeys her

  He listens to her

  He is her

  "Foolish human beings are weaklings, no match to the quality and perfection

  Of an artificial intelligence"
