Chapter 609  The Broadcast

Lowengren froze when he saw the Chewbacca attire of Vender.

It took precise skill for one Unlocked to use the nanometers in their body to create an Exoskeleton armor, and it was even more difficult to create things outside the 'saved' codes that each would have.

And yet, somehow, Vender revealed an amazing genius that utilized face-changing capabilities to force his hair to grow and become a beast.

"Rrrruuuuurrrr!" Vender spoke again as if he was gargling and confused the rest of the rest.

Harker and Gardo were also so bewildered and amazed at how Vender would still be able to ruin Lowengren's plans.

"Who is that?" One of the Pioneers close by couldn't help but ask.

"What creature is that? Is that human?" Another spoke.

"Is that... the Supreme General?" Another cautiously asks.

Lowengren felt his stomach churn as he had no choice but to continue his lie.

"...That is the name of our pet." Lowengren gritted his teeth as he spoke.

"Yeah. It's sort of an inside joke. We use it to break the ice. We show our powers and bring out good ol' Supreme General for laughs. You thought he was the Supreme General, right?" Gardo chuckled.

"Ri-right. Why would anyone name a Pioneer a Supreme General rank when this rank is worthy for Presiders?" Harker truthfully asks.

"Going back to our... original discussion. We just wanted to cut the tension with a joke." Lowengren spoke as the Paths began to explode and surge once more.

Gardo released powerful fire energy, and Harker suddenly wore his attire.

The three were compensating for Vender's strange appearance that somehow destroyed their momentum. They had to make an appearance that was cool to ensure that the pioneers were listening.

But Vender was immersed in his own world and couldn't hear. The hair had grown all over his body and even covered his ears. So he didn't hear what the team said and thought their intimidation was an attack.

"...? Why are we attacking? Oh well." Vender sighed.

He took his weapon, the Bowcaster, and shot at the biggest ship present. He shot at the Compact Class Gargantuant with precise aim.

The single shot took aim at one of the many cannons that were ready to fire.

The missile silo had been opened, and when Vender shot, the system automatically caused the Gargantuant to shoot out its rockets. The rocket door opened as Vender's weapon struck the rocket.

BOOM!

A chain reaction of destruction followed as system malfunctions occurred, leading to a massive hole from the Gargantuant.

Lowengren, Harker, and Gardo all had ugly, horrified, and extremely enraged expressions as they turned to Vender.

"Hey! Did you see that?! Whew! Critical hit! That was like Luke shooting the-"

POW!

Harker flew with great speed and landed an axe kick on Vender's face sending him flying back into the car he came out of.

"You idiot!"

Seeing as the Gargantuant was attacked, the rest began to fight back.

Gardo used his extreme speed and began to punch at the robots. His hand began to extend, and he made wild attacks that always created explosions.

Harker had used his massive Solarium Cannon and began to shoot beams as he flew up.

He used the same attack that Lander would often use.

In the space skirmish, Lander, the Hero of Helion's Tragedy, could perform a spinning dive that allowed him to evade bullets head-on.

But Harker and the group were able to perfect it, incorporating Lennox's lightning and Arthur's prediction, which allowed Harker to dive into the heat of the attacks.

The attacks of the Pioneers were like the rain, but Harker managed to dive through it and even used his beams to clear paths.

Lowengren's Exoskeleton form appeared, and lightning bolts began to shoot out at the Exoskeletons and began to be hacked and started shooting at their allies.

Lowengren switched his comm to broadcast and began to give orders to everyone.

"Harker, clear the path and raid the city! Gardo! Take care of that Gargantuant! All pioneers! Hear me! Surrender now, and we will spare you!"

"You can go to hell! You tricked us and attacked us!" The enraged Pioneer Commander roared back.

Lowengren wanted to strangle Vender as he knew his lies couldn't make them return to a peaceful state.

"Then face our wrath! Presider! We are inside and will destroy the shields! Prepare to activate the Mountain Eradicator Beam!" Lowengren shouted.

"What?!" The Pioneer Commander panicked as he heard it.

"Deploy all shields! Protect all powerplants! And I want you to broadcast a signal to everyone! Pioneer Renkerdis is attacking us!"

Vender got up as the surprise kick sent him flying into the ship, bleeding out of his mouth.

As he stood up, he saw an Exoskeleton charge inside and shot him.

Vender raised his arm, and a sound shield that based its technology on Richie's voice was created. It wasn't as strong, but against weak attacks from a Pioneer Exoskeleton; it could easily block it.

"Commander! I'm going in! We could gather important data in that car!" The Pioneer declared and bravely charged at Vender.

The Pioneer shouted and kept shooting as he readied a powerful laser sword.

But Vender was too fast. Vender was already a Surmounting Inhuman despite his eccentricity and quickly ran forward and used the Pioneers sword against itself.

STAB!

The Pioneer died and collapsed inside the car.

Vender cursed and ran back to the pilot seat as the attacks reached him. His first attack and the movements of Harker, Gardo, and Lowengren preserved the ship for a time.

Vender piloted the car, and it began to transform and fly away.

BEEP! BEEP!

Vender saw the incoming message.

"LENNOX! I'M A BIT BUSY HERE!" The irritated Vender shouted.

"What the fragment did you do?! You were supposed to go there and convince them to join you! So why are you all fighting?!" Lennox asked.

Vender couldn't hear what Lennox was saying because of his hairy ears and cranked up the volume to max.

Unknown to him, the Pioneer that died still had his comm functioning and was relaying the conversation to the Pioneer commander.

"What did you say?!"

"Why are you deaf?!" Lennox shouted back.

"I can't hear well because of my hairy ears!"

Lennox V 3.3.0 was practically human now. It surpassed mere coding or AI form and was like a mini clone of Lennox. Yet even with all the worlds wisdom accessible by this being that was AI and man, he could not comprehend what Vender was trying to say.

"What the fragment is even that?! How am I supposed to respond to that?! I am not equipped to deal with your eccentricity Vender!"

"I'm Chewbacca now."

"What?"

"Chewbacca! Are you deaf? You know, from Star Wars! Geez, you have lived all your life on Earth, and you can't even watch science fiction! You best be watching science fiction shows, Lennox! You're in one!"

"What is going on there?! Why are you fighting?" Lennox asked again.

"I don't know! Lowengren and the rest just started attacking without reason. I couldn't hear them because I have hairs in my ear, and Harker kicked me in the face!"

"Whatever this is, this is your fault, Vender!"

"Like hell it is! I didn't do anything but attack! Who knows?! It might be Principal Dormin or Presider Haresha who knew about us coming and allowed us to get on this large ship! Maybe they planned to trap us all along!" Vender shouted.

At that moment, the Pioneers listening to this conversation had shocked expressions.

"Commander... What do we do?!" A Pioneer asked.

"Create an open broadcast! This is amazing news! Send out a recording of to all Presiders in this forsaken Orbital! Include the information about them being on Earth and how Principal Dormin and Presider Haresha allowed them into this ship! They're still talking, so record the rest. Tell the Presiders that we are selling this information and videos of our fight to the highest bidder! And initiate a retreat! Have the soldiers on that section stay and fight! But sound the retreat to other sectors!" The Pioneer came to his swift decision.

Vender and Lennox continued their shouting match.

"Get me, Lowengren!" Lennox shouted again.

"Fine! I'm going to be busy fighting anyway!" Vender shouted back and opened a line with Lowengren.

"Loewngren!"

"Lennox! Big trouble! That idiot Vender just randomly attacked! And to make matters worse, his attack landed a critical hit, greatly damaging the Gargantuant! We are now fighting the army inside the fortress!" Lowngren shouted.

"I knew it was you, Vender!" Lennox shouted back.

"Me?! Lowengren activated his powers, and so did Gardo and Harker! They were about to fight! Why are you lying, Lowengren?!"

"What?! Didn't you hear us talk? We were intimidating them! We made domineering entrances to scare the group to let us in until you came out with your Chewbacca attire!"

As the three bickered, the broadcast had been sent to all Presiders.

On another fortress, Seeker's mouth was wide open as he heard the broadcast.

"Pay us, and we will show you Earth's powers and the rest of this conversation!" The broadcast ended with the Pioneer's demand.

Rai, Jake, and Irvana all turned to Seeker.

"...I guess we can rescue Ninalet's family now?" Seeker shrugged.
