“Calamita, change!” shouts the Calamita Team in unison.
Suddenly, a huge gust of wind surrounds the three, and their eyes change color. Victoria’s eyes change to pink while Saul’s go bright red and Daichi’s gold. Neck down, their bodies get engulfed with corresponding lights: Victoria’s pink, Saul’s red, and Daichi’s gold. Seconds later, the silhouetted faces of pink, red, and gold dragons appear behind them. The Dragons roar as their heads push forward and fuses with the Calamita Team. At that very moment, the bright lights clothing their bodies shatter away like shards of glass, revealing the Calamita Team in full body armor.
They all have a heavy black battle armor, with stars matching their colors running down both sides of their arms, their sides, and legs. They have a golden belt with a golden star on the buckle and on their chest. What is unique is that both of Saul’s hands are engulfed in a red flame, and Daichi can be seen with a scabbard on his back. The Calamita Team is formed!
“The bosses are here for another beating on robots!” Victoria says with a smirk.
“Let me handle this…!” Saul volunteers, walking forward.
His walk turns into a charge toward the Sovis bots. Saul quickly cocks his right fist back before suddenly sliding his feet forward to slow down; skid marks with flames appear on the floor after him.
“Take this! Inferno Wave!” he shouts in anger.
Saul stops himself and at the right time, hurls his right fist forward onto the swarm of Sovis bots, which results in a massive red wave of flames swallowing them all in the process. The damage is immense, and all the Sovis bots disintegrate to mere ash.
“Good job, Saul. Now let’s keep moving,” Victoria says, running past Saul, Daichi on her side.
They all dash forward, but suddenly, they find three fast-moving purple energy balls flying toward them; unfortunately, they find no time to move out of their way or stop. The three purple balls of light encircle all three of them, confining them separately within purple bubbles.
“Ah hell! What’s this?” Victoria shouts excited.
“Damn…I can’t…move…!” Saul exclaims angrily, struggling to move his suspended body in the bubble.
Suddenly, poof! They are no more to be seen. They have vanished into thin air …
[Grand Atlas Coliseum]
Luke holds on tightly to Parker’s hand as the two approach the top floor to get out of the arena.
“Dammit…I never worry when Victoria is on the job…but, for some reason…I’m worried for her right now.” Luke says.
“Don’t be. Your sister is badass,” Parker assures him.
“Yeah…I know that,” he says with a smile.
Parker takes her fingers and places them on Luke’s chin, pulling him in for a kiss. After they kiss, Parker looks passionately into Luke’s eyes as he stares at her with a blank expression.
“Why are you kissing me at a time like this?” asks Luke, confused.
“To calm you down, of course! You always like that!” Parker replies with a smile as she gently pats him on his left cheek.
“I guess I wasn’t supposed to react that way.” says Luke, still puzzled.
Scoffing at him, Parker gently pushes Luke’s face but gets closer to him, laying her head on his arm.
“Your sister is like the empress of Atlas…she’ll be fine. She’s done hundreds of missions across the world and always came back in one piece. She’ll be fine. Let’s just focus on getting out of here,” Parker assures him.
“Yeah,” says a relieved Luke, resting his head on top of Parker’s head.
Meanwhile, Akira and his mother, the Knight sisters along with them, are just starting to move out; although, they are still glued to their phones, despite all the commotion and the gunshots that echo every other moment.

“I need a status report on the whereabouts of the CalamitaTeam immediately!” shouts Stacey commanding the operators in front of her .
“They are all located deep in the Arena’s underground factory, but all in separate locations!” cries out a male operator.
“Victoria is in the West Field Factory, Saul is in the South Field Factory, and Daichi is in the North Field Factory!” yells another male operator.
“I need the soldiers out in the arena to assist the people immediately!” orders Branch furious, showing up beside Stacey, and as soon as she hears Branch’s voice, she appears angry as well.
“Don’t worry Stacey. All this will be resolved as quickly as possible. There’s nothing to fear,” Branch tells her.
“Please…I’d told you earlier that something bad was going to happen! There should’ve been soldiers out there, not fucking guards! Now, hundreds of them are being killed trying to take out the terrorists who clearly know what they’re doing. You ignored my warnings, and now we’re here,” Stacey replies angrily.
“Our job here is to get shit done when our people are in danger. Let’s get this mission finished and call it a day. I’m heading to my office now,” Branch says as he walks back. Stacey shakes her head in exasperation, before breathing in and breathing out.
“Okay, everyone. Get those soldiers out there and keep an eye on the Calamita Team!” Stacey orders with a more serious tone and look this time.
[Grand Atlas Coliseum/ West Field Factory]
Victoria opens her eyes and finds herself lying down and looking up at lights. She quickly hops back up on her feet and looks around frantically, realizing that she is in a massive blue-steel room.
“Just where the hell did I end up in…?” wonders a curious Victoria.
Victoria moves her eyes slowly and ends up discovering a door quite far away at the end of the room.
“I don’t know how I ended up here, but I have to get out now!” Victoria says out loud.
“Hey guys, can you hear me?” Victoria hears Saul through her earphones.
“I can hear you Saul, loud and clear,” Victoria responds.
“I’m alright guys,” comes Daichi’s announcement.
“Where are you guys located? I’m in a huge steel room right now,” Victoria asks as she walks around surveying the place.
“Same here,” replies Saul.
“I am as well…I’m surprised the arena has something like this. What is it used for?” asks Daichi.
“So, apparently we are all split up in different locations. Can you guys find an exit anywhere?” Victoria asks them.
“Uhh…yes. I do see a door from afar,” replies Saul.
“Yes, I can now see a door far away from where I’m standing,” Daichi replies.
“Stacey! I know you can hear us! Just where are we right now?” Victoria shouts, rolling her eyes.
“All three of you are in the underground factory. I don’t know how you guys ended up there, but it’s good that you guys found the exit. Surprisingly, going through that door leads high up into the 50th floor. It is a huge room. From there, you must blast your way up to the 100th floor and take out those terrorists and retrieve King Daimus’s body. However, it’s going to take a while to get up to the 50th floor.” explains Stacey.
“No problem. Let’s move, team!” Victoria commands the rest.
As soon as Victoria begins running toward the door, she hears a huge crash. Victoria springs back thrice before stopping and looks up to find a massive black gorilla robot, about 10 meters tall and with piercing red eyes, growling in front of her.
“Oh, you’ve got to be shitting me right now!” exclaims Victoria, scanning the gorilla in anger.
“Shit…! How did they end up here!” yells an angry Saul, moving his eyes left and right. He is surrounded by red and blue ninja robots with bright red cyclop eyes and sharp kneepads. “The Solar Bots…here?”
“Well, I’ll be damned,” Daichi bursts out, confronted with three massive black scorpion robots with piercing bright red eyes. Daichi grabs on to the sword placed on his back and glares at the enemy before him, “You’re in my way!”
he challenges them, raspy and threatening.
“Now, move! Arrive, Verox!” shouts Victoria. Her hands generate pink electric bolts, and in the next few seconds, two pink pistols take shape in the palm of her hands. She quickly takes tight grip of them.
Victoria wastes no time and points her Verox pistols at the gorilla; she pulls the trigger, shooting pink plasma bullets, flashes and streaks jolting around them . They begin heavily piercing the gorilla, but Victoria does not stop there; she continues to fire rapidly.
“Tch, not enough!” realizes Victoria, holding her fire and jumping back once more.
“Arrive, Veross!” she orders.
Electricity covers the pistols, and in seconds, they transform into Veross, dual black and pink assault rifles. They look quite heavy for Victoria, but she carries them with ease, pointing both and firing heavy rounds of bullets at the gorilla this time. The gorilla charges at her fast, swinging its massive hand toward her; Victoria easily dodges the attacks, glides across the floor, and keeps firing at the gorilla. The gigantic robot continues storming and swinging its arms wildly. Victoria, however, is clearly too experienced, dodging all its attacks and continuing to fire till the gorilla’s body begins to shows cracks all around it. Just a few more rounds would shatter the gorilla into pieces.
“Almost got you, you little shit…!” snipes Victoria with a smirk.
Suddenly, the Gorilla attacks even faster, and this time, it is lucky enough to strike Victoria hard. It sends her flying and crashing against the steel wall, creating a dent in it and causing Victoria to stay stuck on the dent. Her head is hanging down, and she appears unconscious; She is still holding on to her Veross rifles. The gorilla robot lets out a furious roar before slowly stomping towards Victoria.
[Grand Atlas Coliseum/ South Field Factory]
Saul yells in anger as he starts charging after the solar bots. These solar bots are quite fast, sprinting left and right all over the place, but their speed isn’t enough for Saul’s immense power, smashing the lot of them with his fists as soon as he can catch them. Saul slides his feet forward and backward multiple times, as if he was if he was in a skating rink, only to smash his fists and elbows into the solar bots. One punch at the bots results in their bodies disintegrating into ash. It appeared to be quite an easy fight for Saul; however, more keep appearing by the second to a point where Saul jumps high into the air and fires off a fireball from his right hand. It annihilates a great batch in the process before he lands back on the ground.
After Saul lands far from his foes to catch some air, he doesn’t look surprised to find even more of those solar bots charging at him fast.
“Boy, oh boy! They just don’t stop! But, I love it…!” Saul voices with a smirk, “Inferno Wave!”
Saul storms towards the solar bots with his right fist cocked back. It doesn’t take long before Saul hurls his right fist forward; he lets out the true power of the Inferno Wave yet again, obliterating another huge batch of solar bots. After they are destroyed, Saul unclenches and clenches his flaming fists, moving his neck around just before a loud thud sounds behind him. He looks over his shoulder to find yet more solar bots approaching him from a distance. He hears another thud. He looks to his left and finds another large cluster of them coming after him. Saul can do nothing but flash a smirk at the sight.
[Grand Atlas Coliseum/ North Field Factory]
Daichi, last but not the least, is against three massive robot scorpions before him. He wastes no time and charges after them fast, but before he can attack, solar bots descend from above to protect the scorpions, throwing rounds of kunai at Daichi.
Daichi is fast enough to swiftly jump and whip out his Katana, dodging a lot of the kunai amazingly with his katana. Now, the Solar bots storm after him to assault.
Daichi stays afloat in the air, waiting for his enemies to come toward him. When they get closer, Daichi swoops forward and begins slicing the oncoming solar bots to pieces. There are many, but such a number isn’t a problem for Daichi, calmly slicing every one of them down as their limbs keep crashing into the ground. Two Solar bots try to ambush Daichi from behind, but he performs a spinning slash, slicing both of their bodies in half in a flash. After the two are disposed of, Daichi turns and looks down at the motionless scorpions.
“Patient little bugs are they,” voices Daichi, floating back down to the ground.
As soon as his feet touch the ground, Daichi instantly starts dashing toward the scorpions.
“Change! Xiu!” shouts Daichi.
Suddenly, Daichi’s Katana bursts into flames and ultimately transforms into a long flaming sword, its hilt carrying a fire dragon with sharp green eyes and the red-hot blade emerging out from the dragon’s mouth. The steel sword had fiery designs embossed all over it, and a gold chain is attached to the butt.
“Fire Wave!” shouts Daichi, swinging the Xiu blade, and a long crescent-shaped wave of fire shoots out of the sword, crashing down on all three of the scorpions and starting a massive explosion in the process. Daichi stops, unsure if they have all been disposed of.
His eyes suddenly widen, finding three of the scorpions' tails gunned at him. However, Daichi swiftly glides to the right as their pointy tails crash to the ground where he was previously standing. Daichi swings his Xiu blade and sends another fire wave shooting towards the tails. It successfully burns them off clean.
As the grey smoke clears, Daichi looks to his right and is shocked to find the scorpions transforming into black humanoid robots with long claws on its hands and their own scorpion tails.
“Oh…now they have evolved,” says Daichi, “Doesn’t matter…I’ll freeze you all to death! Change! Knucker!”
Suddenly, a blue foggy mist forms around the Xiu blade, transforming it into the Knucker blade, a short aqua-blue sword with its hilt showing a water dragon with clear green eyes, and again, the blade shooting out from its mouth. The steel of the sword was ice blue with a cold mist emitting from it. The sword had icy designs all over the blade and a gold chain attached to the butt. Daichi prepares himself as the scorpion humanoid robots are walking towards him in unison, their eyes flashing at him. Although, Daichi is unfazed by them, staring at them with focus and anger.
[Grand Atlas Coliseum/ King Daimus’s Office]
Eric is watching the Calamita Team going against his creations; he looks surprised as he watches them. Just then, Michelle and Drozo enter the room, but Michelle does not look happy, tossing her rifle onto the ground.
“Okay, all guard’s dead. Now, Eric, hurry the fuck up and find the secret location!” she shouts.
“Ugh…Michelle, can you just be quiet? That’s exactly what I’m trying to do right now!” Eric shouts back.
“Well, you better hurry…I sense the Dynasty Soldiers will be arriving soon…” Drozo cuts in.
“Don’t worry about them. We can handle the puny beetles. No problem,” replies Eric, rapidly typing on the laptop, “Hehe! Only 5 minutes left, Calamita Team.”
[Grand Atlas Coliseum/ South Field Factory]
With only a few minutes remaining, Saul slides back sweating, and finds even more Solar bots before him.
“Damn! Time’s wasting fast. I have to end this immediately!” Saul thinks to himself, “Time to dish out a big one!”
Saul charges after the Solar bots once more before suddenly leaping high into the air.
“TAKE THIS! INFERNO QUAKE!” shouts Saul.
Saul quickly swoops down into the middle of this huge crowd of Solar bots, and strikes his right fist down into the ground, instantly igniting all of them into flames. The steel ground suddenly begins melting till lava streams begins to form. Saul flies back up and watches in silence as the Solar bots get burnt to mere scrap.
[Grand Atlas Coliseum/ North Field Factory]
The scorpions crawl fast toward Daichi, and before one of them could strike, he mysteriously flies past them, turns and sends three crescent ice waves at them from the back. Just like that, the ice waves freeze all
three humanoid scorpions into blocks of ice. As Daichi stops his feet from moving further back, he quickly takes speeds up and charges toward the ice blocks. In seconds, he swings his sword at the three blocks rapidly before stopping, causing the ice blocks to be slowly, but surely, destroyed into tiny ice pieces.
“Easy,” declares Daichi.
[Grand Atlas Coliseum/ West Field Factory]
All that is left is Victoria, still motionless in the steel dent, and this time, the Gorilla is close enough to end her right here.
“…I…have to…unleash…my babies…!” she whispers, “Come…Veox…!”
Suddenly, pink electricity formed around the Veross rifles. Victoria lets go of them, and in seconds, they begin floating forward. It isn’t long before these rifles transform into twin personal combat robots. They were mostly pink and silver, and have bright green eyes with twin silver horns placed on their forehead and a gold sphere on their chest. Their bodies and height resembles much of Victoria’s, wielding wrist-mounted steel blades as well as holes in the palm of their hands.
They both take guard of Victoria and waste no time charging at the gorilla.
The Gorilla swings its right arm, but the Veox Twin Robots are like flies, flying all around the gorilla. At the right moment, both the robots suddenly land on the ground, and in unison, they charge forward and slash the gorilla with their steel blades a few times before kicking it square in the face. It has enough power to push the gorilla crashing all the way against the opposite side of the wall.
“Thank you…my babies!” Victoria says in a low tone, revealing a smile as she slowly raises her head up. Suddenly, Victoria shows anger as her bright pink eyes flash. She suddenly pulls out the hilt of a sword from behind her, and presses a button on its side, beaming a pink sabre in the process.
“It’s time to end this!” she shouts in anger.
She jumps out of the wall and assaults for the gorilla stuck in an even bigger dent in the wall. As Victoria gets closer, she lets out a war cry and in seconds, pierces the gorilla’s chest with her beam sword, stopping her feet above the gorilla’s chest. Everything is silent for a few seconds before the gorilla lets out a deafening roar. A massive explosion occurs, engulfing Victoria within it. The Veox twins stand far away from the explosion, only gazing at it
