Oh gods don't let me die like this.

We were told by the sergeant that this would be an easy expedition. Just protect some kids while they went on their excursion to learn about agriculture and plants. Me and the other guys would protect the kids From what ever. There could be beast attacks, but its mainly low tier beasts that are in these parts nothing too difficult.

Also incase anyone plans on kidnapping any of the kids, cause, some of these kids are rich and have rich parents, so they're targets for kidnapping.

Me and Sam were guarding some kids out in a field, nothing too fancy. Just a field with some plants, some of them wild some not, some trees around us. Some mutated insects, nothing too difficult to handle. The kids were having fun picking up plants, scanning them with the scanner with them and showing it to the instructor with them.

We have on, official uniforms, the uniform comes with special perks, it's an armor as well. It's been built in such a way that it runs on our Qi. With our Qi we could reinforce the armor. And there are custom made weapons based on our specialty and the kind of fighter we are.

Things were going well, until we received a call. I answered through my comms.

"Captain, good to hear from you, is there any issue?"

"YOU AND THE TEAM NEED TO GET OUT OF THERE NOW. GET THE KIDS AND TEACHERS AND EVACUATE THAT AREA NOW." Captain Obinna yelled causing the entire team to go on high alert. There was urgency in his voice. Thanos tried to get more info..

"Sir what's going on" Thanos asked,

"There's no time for questions. Get out of th-

BOOOOM

He was cut off by the sound of something crashing down.

"Asemota WHAT WAS THAT NOISE" Captain Obinna asked,

"I don't know" Thanos replied, "I'm going to check it out"

."NO. GET OUT OF THERE FAST, BACK UP IS ON THE WAY."

Tha"nos was confused, but he quickly collected his thoughts and started dishing out orders.

"Alright everyone, you heard the captain, this expedition is cancelled, round up the kids let's get out of here. Sam ?"

Thanos called the guy he was paired with.

"Round up the students, let's get out of here"

They were moving as fast as they could, doing their best to lead the kids to the bus that they came in. There was sounds of heavy footsteps coming from the small forest behind them. They urged the kids to run faster but the sound only got closer.

Thanos and Sam turned around to find what looked like a 10ft tall heavily armed humanoid mech suit.

"Sam, get them out of here I'll hold it off" Thanos said and tapped two bracelets on his hands and they instantly morphed into thin greyish gloves that almost entirely covered his forearm. The knuckle part of the gloves had sharp edges.

"I should be here with you " Sam responded worried for his safety.

"GO NOW, GET THEM TO SAFETY AND GET BACK TO BACK ME UP."

He tapped his arm and his entire head was covered in some sort of mask except his eyes.

Sam nodded and led the others away, trying to get them to safety.

Meanwhile Thanos quickly hopped to the side avoiding a red beam shot at him. His was shocked but he did his best to remain calm. That was part of the training they underwent at the military academy.

The mech suit raised it's hand and aimed at him again. A beam came at him but he dodged it by moving to the side. Infusion of Qi to his feet to make him faster, not to mention the armor. Remembering what he was taught in all his Qi battle training, he took a deep breath and allowed his Qi to flow to his hands, enhancing his fists.

Meanwhile, the mech suit stood for a few seconds before shaking, as though it just woke up from being asleep. One of its hands seemed to morph, changing its form until a sword was formed. Now it has a canon on one hand and a sword as another hand.

Thanos carefully observed this change before communicating to his team through his comms. "Guys bring the big guns I need back up, SAM, get to the bus and bring the big guns."

The mech moved as though taking a stance then ran at Thanos, in just two steps it was able to covered the distance between them.

It raised its sword arm and brought it down on Thanos. He rolled away, happy to not be immediately sliced in two. Two seconds later he had a hand canon to his face. A beam came at him but he did his best to dodge.

[I've been playing defense, let's get offensive a bit] Thanos thought to himself as he ran as fast as he could at the mech. Another beam came at him but he evaded, he got to one of it's legs and struck it with his fists..

CLANG!!

A metallic sound echoed, but only a small scratch was seen on the thigh of the mech where he struck. He was astonished that he did no major damage. He readied himself for another attack only to be smacked aside with great force by the leg of the mech.

Thanos braced himself as he stopped rolling on the ground. He tried to get up but was attacked again as a beam sent him flying into a nearby tree. He managed to block with his arms though to minimize the damage.

"Very well I just have to pour more energy into my fists."

Thanos frowned and took a stance. He guided the flow of his Qi to his fists. They seemed to have a small yellow hue know that so much Qi enveloped them. He guided his Qi all over his body to reinforce it, making It seems as though yellow flames covered his entire body.

He got ready and dashed towards the mech with more confidence than before.

As he moved, more red beams came at him but he dodged them swiftly. The sword came from the side aiming to cut him in half but he stopped it with both hands, he raised his leg and did a front kick making the mech stagger from the force.

He ran at one of the legs and threw a swift jab at it, and this time there was a dent, the size of a fist. Thanos smiled and continues throwing fast jabs and crosses while moving round to avoid being hit with the sword.

The mech aimed at its own leg and fired a shot point blank at Thanos, causing him to leave an imprint on the ground.

His body ached all over. The mech raised its foot intending to crush him.

"Oh gods don't let me die like this " he said in a strained voice..
