The Undying Mecha Emperor

But golden mechas were no slouches whose movements could be so easily impeded, and especially not by mini blue dragon clones.

VROOOOO!!!

The European golden mecha maxed out her throttle and exploded away at full speed!

There was nothing we could do except to watch her quickly disappear before our very eyes.

It truly was a high level battle.

The exchanges were short and heavy, and the weaker party immediately beat a retreat as soon as the odds were stacked against him or her.

At that level, there were no hard headed fools who would overstay in a low stakes but dangerous battle.

Well, maybe not exactly none.

A few seconds later, one such fool showed up before us.

The American golden mecha which was flung by the barrage of powerful lightning bolts had made his way back to the battlefield!

But before we could attack, he raised his hands up in a show of non-aggression.

"Wait! Don't attack! I am not here to continue our fight!" The American said.

GRAAAAHHHHHH!!!

The blue dragon roared menacingly at the golden dragon. But the Ancestor held it back from attacking.

"My name is Jackson Brown-Smith. I represent one of the two superpowers of this world. We would like to engage in dialogue with you." Jackson said.

"Just disable and capture him. There is no need for lions to dialogue with rabbits." Princess Augustine said with a yawn.

"You have found a very, very interesting fella there, Bruce. I really like her." The Ancestor said with a laugh. But he did not make a move.

He merely got the blue dragon to growl softly in a show of willingness to listen.

"As expected. You understand me. America is the strongest country in this world. Would you like to discuss your intentions and your plans with us? I am sure we can come to an accord." Jackson said amiably.

"An accord? Haha! When has America been so meek? This dude is obviously extremely scared of us!" I laughed loudly.

But Bruce Pang's face remained serious.

"This dude is very crafty. Our answer might very well reveal much of what we want to keep a mystery." Bruce Pang said softly to the Ancestor.

"Just capture him. You guys are being very meek yourselves. Quickly! I want to get my pick of the energy core from the blue dragon!" Princess Augustine said impatiently.

"I do not think that he would be so stupid as to stay here if he doesn't have a trump card that would ensure his escape. Capturing him would be no easy feat." The Ancestor said gravely.

"Not answering is an answer. I hope you understand that, old man." Princess Augustine said. "Make a decision!"

"A bird in hand is better than two in the bush." I said. "Capture him and get whatever he has to offer. Surely whatever you want to gain from engaging in dialogue with him couldn't be more valuable than a golden mecha and the information its pilot possess?"

"How about an alliance with America? Would that be more valuable than a golden mecha and an enemy out of them?" The Ancestor said.

"No." Both Princess Augustine and I said at the same time.

We glanced at each other and shared a conspiratorial smile.

"An alliance is a weakling's idea of peace. It leaves the power in the hands of your "ally". True peace is when you have the power in your own hands!" Princess Augustine said wisely.

"Indeed. You took the words of my mouth. I could not say it better myself." I nodded in agreement.

"Hmmm. If this is how the younger generation thinks, then our country is definitely destined for war." The Ancestor said ruefully. "But so be it. Little girl, you seem to have a lot of strange powers. Can you disable him for a few seconds?"

"Three seconds." Princess Augustine said.

"That's good enough. Please do so whenever you're ready." The Ancestor said.

"I am always ready." Princess Augustine said and wiggled her fingers.

"I really need to learn how to do that." I said as I watched her wiggling fingers in fascination.

"Ha! This is not something you weak life forms are able to do. Only Ascended Beings like me can do that." Princess Augustine said proudly even as another massive bubble shot out of G-Drake at high speed.

Blub.

Jackson was on the defensive against Blue Storm and was caught completely unaware by the surprise attack coming from us. And as such, the bubble successfully wrapped around him and froze him in place.

However, because he was ready for battle, he had most of his power standing by, and was able to wield them almost instantly to break out of the bubble wrap!

Crack!!

A massive crack appeared on the bubble wrap, a split second before it disappeared altogether!

All in all, only less than two seconds had passed!

"Oops." Princess Augustine said with a giggle. "The weakling is not as weak as I thought."

But thankfully, the old man was done.

He took the time Princess Augustine bought for him to rapidly gather Blue Storm's energy and made a full sized clone!

"Oh you sneaky bastard! So you had no intention of dialogue huh? Fine! Then feel the full might of the United States of All Americas!!" Jackson shouted before the full sized and two mini clones flung themselves at him!

Crunch!!

Crunch!!

CRUNCH!!

They bit into his mecha with their powerful jaws and held him in place.

"Good! Now for the finale. Frozen Winter!" The Ancestor shouted.

Immediately, a massive burst of ice energy shot out of Blue Storm's maw and smashed into the golden mecha!

"FOR AMERI..."

Whoosh.

The entire golden mecha was frozen solid before Jackson could finish his sentence. And with that, we had successfully captured our first golden mecha!!

But apparently, capturing the golden mecha wasn't the most exciting thing at that moment.

There was something even more interesting.

"What the hell? The blue dragon actually has control over the ICE Element?! That is an advanced element!!" Princess Augustine shouted in shock!
