Interlude. Part 2

{WARNING! THREAT DETECTED IN VICINITY! PLEASE PREPARE FOR BATTLE!!}

The AI repeated once more.

The faces of all of the soldiers inside the hanger immediately turned serious and grim. Their opponents had come earlier than expected, catching them off guard.

"Alex, Anya report to your team at Area-Z. You awakened ones will be leading the charge in the coming battle." The old commander instantly gave instructions.

Alex and Anya nodded their heads and started to rush towards the reporting area. 

"The rest of you, MAN YOUR BATTLESTATIONS!" the old commander thundered.

"Let's make these bastards pay for what they've done!" he roared and started to head towards the command center.

The grim expressions on the soldier's faces immediately eased. With their morale raised, they roared in response.

"SIR, YES, SIR!"
