Anima could feel the force from the temporary distortion, but didn't take her focus off the Sharukurusus or Zakobons.
She continued to throw her apple bombs at them, getting rid of each and every one of them, one by one.
She wasn't paying attention, not hearing the running stomp sounds of a large Sharukurusu about to attack her from behind.
She was about to turn around, knowing it would too late to dodge the attack, but the sound of a familiar powered buster shot peirced right through the Sharukurusu, creating a large gaping hole in it, before collapsing to the ground.
Anima turned to see where the source had come from: Mikey.
"Miss Anima!" REI came floating up to Anima and embracing her in a hug.
"Yo REI." Anima said, hugging him back. "It looks like you and Mikey took care of things here."
"Indeed, but it was mostly Mikey though." he said.

Into the tower we went. There were Reaverbots all over the place, searching for us. There weren't very many of the larger ones, but whatever larger ones there were, they were the most dangerous types. A Giwan and Rush Mamoo being the worst. We quietly, walked past them, hoping not to alert them. Too busy paying attention to the Reavers, I ended up kicking a hunk of concrete that the bomb blew up. It skidded across the room, clattering the whole way. All of the Reaverbots turned to face the source of the clatter, and made their tell-tale alert noise.
We ran. It was our only choice. The number of reavers here were much larger than those that were in the ruins. Not only that, but the Boss Reavers were multiple, and they were accompanied by many smaller ones. There was no way we could take them all on. A series of hallways and turns were in front of us, and 42 pointed to around a corner to the left. We hid, and the group of reavers rushed right by us.
"Phew..." 42 sighed softly. "That was a close one. Too close for my taste. Be more aware of your surroundings, Purifier."
I nodded back, and we continued down the hallway. All of the doors we passed were locked, and the ones that weren't just lead to empty rooms or small treasures, which we looted. We'd be damned to let this bastard have more money to procure more deadly weapons and defenses.
At the end of the hallway, there was one large, metal door. 42 and I approached it slowly. We stood to the sides of the door. 42 gave me a nod, and with that, we bursted through the door. On the other side lied a sort of garage or repair station, filled with reaverbot parts, guns, among other mechanical devices.
42 stood at the door while I searched the room for any clues to where we went from there. I put Snake down in a chair next to an oil-stained desk. I examined some of the documents scattered on the desk.
"What a dump." 42 remarked. "But what can I expect from a group of trashy assholes."
"Yeah!" I cackled. "Let's see... Weapon schematics... schematics... more schematics... Reaverbot: inner works... " I shifted through the papers a little quicker, getting impatient, "AHA! Finally! A Notice from Damage!"
I looked back at 42. "Well, go on. Read it!" he said.
"Dear minions," I read, "The intruder from MLU is to be kept under strict watch in the prison cell wing, ensuring he will not escape. In the event that any further intruders from MLU or MMLS come to rescue the prisoner or take back the weapon, the focus of attention should switch to the intruders' annihilation. That is if the Reaverbots don't get them first." I licked my lips, as they were dry with anticipation, "Also, Hawkeye, get to work on that new weapon. I've been waiting for it for 3 months now, and you haven't made any progress! Get to work, or I'll throw you in the cells with the hostages!"
"Not even a 'sincerly, Damage' or 'love, Damage' in there. What a guy." 42 smirked. "So, judging by the letter and the location, this must be Hawkeye's lab... We'd better smash all of this heavy machinery."
I nodded at 42, and pulled out my energy sword. Loud crashes and bursting of circuitry were heard all around us. Sparks flew all around the room. Engines, computers, tools, all were destroyed.
"Yeah!" I shouted. "That'll learn 'em!" I picked up Snake and headed to the door.
Just as we were about to leave the room, we heard a low whir and a loud grinding. We turned to face one of the walls pulling away to reveal a giant, composite Reaverbot. Looking closer, we saw Hawkeye piloting it. It was a humongous Reaver with a Hanmaru Doll's body, An arm of a Rush Mamoo's trunk, it's head was the cockpit where Hawkeye sat, its other arm was that of a Giwan, and it's lower body consisted of mixed Reaver legs, varying from those of the Sharukurusu to those of the Guynee Toren. The chest of the beast seemed to be hatched, meaning more weapons could be hidden inside of it.
"You thought you could escape! Don't be so sure!" Hawkeye peered around the room. "What the hell did you do to my room?!"
"You like it? Purifier and I decided you needed some help with interior design. We chose the 'Ultramodern Post-Apocalyptic Wasteland' theme." 42 cackled.
"AGH! YOU LITTLE BASTARDS!" He pulled a lever, and the Reaver revved up. It sped towards us, and we dodged it. 42 and I took a few shots at it, and then it aimed it's trunk-like arm at us. Ice crystals shot out like machine gun fire. 42 and I took cover behind Hawkeye's desk.
"This thing is a controlled Reaverbot made out of other Reaverbots..." I yelled over the loud Reaver's engine. "It could have any multitude of Reaverbot weapons hidden on it... We have to be careful."
"Let's just think for a split second... How do we fight this thing without getting flattened?" 42 asked.
