The sound of the rubber combat boots pounding against the ground behind him was notice enough. Defense was key, and this gate was the most important part of the wall. Sixteen stood between it and the Dante forces that were bound to charge at the drop of a dime.
Another set of soldiers were just behind the gate, waiting for orders. They?d be his back-up units in case the charge was overwhelming. Sixteen stood calmly, scanning the battlegrounds. The temperature was a breezy sixty eight-degree?s, with clouds emerging from the east. Rain was due at any moment, he was sure of it.
Checking over his systems once more, the android tapped into his super computer brain. Power Supply, functioning at one hundred percent. Weapons, all operational. Main and battle systems, all running smoothly. It was then, when his zoom function caught the bulk of the opposition?s army.
?Hiro, bring out the reserves. I?m sure we?ll be needing them here. Paragus will take the bulk of the pressure, but it?s up to us to relieve him when that time comes,? Sixteen monotoned.
With the order, the gate opened once more. The sound of metal on metal was the only thing he could here as the android watched his remaining troops exit Monte Cristo, and stand guard at the door. Hiro stood next to him, checking his own pair of binoculars.
?What a dreary day for the end of a war, don?t you think?? the Commander asked, trying to keep his general?s mind off of the battle.
?Yes it seems as if you are right. I expect rain soon, don?t you think?? replied the soldier, quickly.
Sixteen nodded once, acknowledging his ranked officers thought. He could tell that Hiro was trying his absolute best not to show any fear in his posture or tone, and his best was very good indeed. There was nothing noticeable about him, or any of the troops in sight that suggested fear, but more of pride and honor.
Now he could only trust his own instincts, as well as the soldiers around him. There were so many different things that needed to happen in the next few minutes, the average man would go insane with anxiety and pressure. But the android only increased his coolant mixture, and there was nothing to worry about.
?These are the people who killed my savior Hiro. These are the ones who killed Garlic, should we let them trample us over?? questioned the orange hared commander, looking down at his companion.
Again, Hiro nodded in agreement. Sixteen knew that Hiro was a strong follower of Jr.?s ways, and had pushed for him to become commander at least a month ago. There was no way he?d let there commander get off the hook, not ever.
?System power-up restrictions level one nullified, battle systems ready!?
