The clash

The ground shook violently as Lava's army clashed with General Peter's mech and the military forces defending Ray Tech's facility. The air was thick with the sounds of explosions, gunfire, and the metallic groans of machinery. Dr. Zane Morris ran out and watched from the control room, his eyes fixed on the monitors displaying the chaotic battle outside.

"This is our moment," Zane muttered to himself. "With the Alpha energy, we will prevail."

Meanwhile, just a few streets away, Lucas, Sam, and Steven were walking down the road, enjoying their snacks and discussing their next steps. The ground's trembling caught their attention.

"Did you feel that?" Sam asked, looking around nervously.

"Yeah," Lucas replied, his eyes narrowing. "Something's happening nearby. We should check it out."

Steven nodded in agreement. "Let's move."
