A bipedal robot with a spinning gattling gun for a right arm is dropped off on the rooftop by some drone which flies off. Combat systems are Green. Commence hostage rescue.

Marco looks at the bipedal robot, seeing and hearing that it's not enemy. Marco just kept going until he sees a group of criminals which he starts shooting at the group, soon seeing a hostage and goes over to him and uses his knife to cut the ropes that were keeping the man tied up Hostage: Thank you *drops a box before running away* Marco sees another group of criminals coming

Hostiles detected, Scythe weapon safety disengage. Metabolize element 82, inefficient meatbags. the tri-barreled minigun on it's arm begins spinning rapidly, aimed it at the criminals, and let loose a hail of bullets, ripping apart the unlucky cannon fodder while suppressing the rest. Continue operation as enemy is suppressed.

Marco looks at the robot again, before rolling his eyes and runs, soon jumping over a box and shoots the criminals that were hiding behide the box, he soon noticed noticing something in the criminals pocket's, he grab it and it was a piece of paper with Rebellion Army's logo and he read it what it said before throw it away and shooting it "I knew it, theses aren't just criminals. Their apart of the Rebellion Army!" (Rebellion Army logo: https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/metalslug/images/1/12/Rebel_Army.PNG/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/100?cb=20100609142126

Objective updated: Crush rebellion uprising. while it is still shooting, it scans for weapon crates. Crate located. Contents: Iron Lizard upgrade.

Marco shoots the Rebel in the head before going to the crate and uses his knife to break it and grabs the Iron Lizard https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9xhPvEOpog Marco soon runs the door after shooting some more dudes, he soon sees some helicopters with gun flying to the roof and starts shooting at the two

from its hiding place among the shadows of the ceiling, a small, humanoid device, roughly the size of a child drops down, adjusting itself for a moment before a perhaps overly-cheerful voice sounds out from within it Do you even know what the rebels are rebelling for? It is truly rare for humans to go out of their way without a single excuse for themselves

Warning: Scythe weapon system over burdened. Resorting to standard flesh grinders It minigun shifts into a normal robotic limb and picks up the nearest rifle as it follows Marco and it's sent a message to the child sized marionette. Rebel Ideology: Nazism. Total Objective: Totalitarian control of nation. I am the wrench to their cogs.

Marco, who was now in cover looks at the humanoid device "Well theses rebels are a bunch of terrorists at formed their own group but they're lead by a man named Donald Morden. We can safely assumed that they seek to establish an authoritarian state or possibly a totalitarian one, and Donald wants revenge on the Regular Army, aka the army that i'm apart of, he was one of us until his son was killed in the Central Park bombing caused by an intelligence failure on the part of the Regular Army" Marco shoots some more rebels

*Sitting in a room, surrounded by numerous bodies of rebels and his own robot, Blade, Nero shakes his head.* What ideological imbeciles are these people? Huh. It's honestly pathetic. Blade: Targets detected. Only attack if they become a nuisance to me. I don't care for these fools. Blade: Yes master.

Ha. Ha. Ha. Level of admiring of human stupidity: Exceptional. Reaper goes back into stance as he shoots down more rebels troopers as one by one gets a bullet to the head with terrifying precision.

Soon two rebels come out, what seems to be carrying a huge slap of rock with weird letters on it Rebel 1: well guess were Rebel 1 looks at the dead rebels and at everyone else and drops the slap he was carrying Rebel 2: Look what you did! Well guess its time to start running Rebel 1: Agree The two rebels run away, soon what appears to be a cloud shooting lightning at all the dead bodies, soon the dead bodies get up. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/metalslug/images/b/bd/Zombie-Rebel-Walking.gif/revision/latest?cb=20160724135032 "and now there are zombies"

The device pauses for a moment, red eyes flashing as it searches through some sort of database or another, it ends up closing its eyes to remark There have been several bombings at locations referred to as "Central Park", even in recent history, so much so it is difficult to differentiate. Not that it matters. The device opens its faintly glowing red eyes, darting between the rebels, Reaper, and marco This whole incident is a pathetic display of human arrogance. They for venting their meaningless frustration through the incitement of fear and endangerment of lives, and yours for believing you have any more right to decide than the rebels do.

Human arrogance. That sounds about correct here. *Nero approaches the group, his cane clacking against the ground as he walks. Blade walks behind him, emotionless masked face looking at the ground. Nero observes everyone with cold eyes.* I would suppose you three are the clean-up crew, yes? Get on with it. Everyone here is intterupting my research and I'm not exactly happy about that.

Zombies. Dr. Richthofen experiments has gone negative. Preparing for pest extermination. Reaper breaks the rifle in half and prepares the Purifier flamethrower. Probability of Firebreak getting hostile: 0.001 percent.

"I agree" said a snow white haired girl with a slight chuckle floating behind the child sized robot, her crimson eyes sweeping across the room.

Marco just starts shooting the zombies until he ran out of ammo and one of the zombies jump on him and explodes https://i.pinimg.com/564x/a4/12/dd/a412dd5064d7aa3fb1e96f077e197dff---bits-slug.jpg Soon some lightning hits marco's and he gets up, now a zombie. He takes out a pistol and starts shooting at the zombies, seemingly able to control himself

Ha. Ha. Ha. Levels of Sympathy: Zero. Reaper continues to be amused as he crushes a rebel zonbie's head with it's free hand.

Don't lump me in with those idiots. The device backs away, almost bumping into the white-haired girl in the meantime. Hearing her voice, it swiftly turns around and scuttles off to the side to get some space have you been following or something? Or maybe you were just bored and followed the sound of gunfire too

Marco shoots a box open and it revels and medic bag. he walks to it and soon he was back to being a human "You know, im suprsied no boss has came out yet and tried to fight us yet"

*Nero glances over to the white haired girl and the other "device"* Are you not? Hmm. Then what are you two. Lost Children? Creations of a lesser genius? Worthless to me then either way. Unless you're offering to be meat shields, of course. Hmm Hmm Hmm.

"Tis the latter. Humans can be quite entertaining at times when they wallow in their hubris." The girl would giggle to the robot. Seemingly interested in it for a moment before turning her attention back to the others. Despite that she would continue her conversation with the small robot. "Life is but a journey of choices and I find entertainment in watching where such choices take humanity."

Ident: Major Marco. Commencing area scanning. Protect Reaper as scans continues. Reaper throws away the empty Purifier flamethrower and begins scanning the building.

"I am nothing of interest. Tis better to ignore me." She would say to Nero with a smile. Not a single hint of ill intent could be felt behind it. As if she still maintained her innocence even as she watched this massacre unfold around her.

Soon a blue tank goes up to the two that looks like kids, and soon a holographic projection of a girl with a petite frame, purplish-pink eyes, and dark blue hair styled in twin-tails. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/metalslug/images/6/6c/MS-Alice_MSA_idle.gif/revision/latest?cb=20161025112711 ???: Hello... Marco was soon on a computer, hacking stuff that will let them have the advantage in his fight

This unit is designated stealth and observation unit Uno. The creator is irrelevant for someone like you. After casting its gaze at Nero for a moment, Uno scuttles a little closer to the window, positioning itself to pierce through the wall with its pointed limbs and scale it to roughly eye level as it looks back at the white-haired girl Its pitiful really. No matter how long they're given, no matter where we go, they always repeat the same stupid mistakes. Its simply how this detestable world works.

I don't like you, White. You seem to be the type of person who watches people from up on a pedestal and thinks they know what's best for these foolish humans. I hate people like you. Blade: Master. Glass houses. Silence, Blade. *Nero glances at Uno* And you are irrelevant to me. Do you really think I would debase myself to the level of a child like your "creator". Tch. How pathetic you are.

"Tis true. Humans are foolish creatures. They will struggle against a fate they hath not the power to resist. Soak the ground in the crimson of their fellow man for the same ideals. Even destroy the world around them simply for their own convenience." She would smile as she looks back at Uno "Yet there is still beauty in such a world. Humans who see such beauty and strive for better" a warm smile that seemed to belong to a mother gazing at her children yet soon after a chuckle would escape her lips as she turns back towards the tank. "Though I guess it is such beautiful ideals that cause humans to be so foolish to begin with." She would then look at the hologram and introduce herself "I am Alice. Tis a pleasure to make your acquaintance."

*The hologram looks at Alice and gently smiles* ???: Your name is Alice? It's also my name as well but with a MS- at the beginning of it Marco shoots some more rebels as he hacks the computer

"Tis not mine place to presume what is better. That is the height of arrogance." she would say to Nero as she turned to him without removing her smile. "Thy choices are thine own to make." She would then float a distance from the tank and simply watch

*Nero shakes his head.* Unless you have absolute knowledge, everyone assumes something. Even the gods themselves do that. That is what life, not just humanity, does, my dear. Assume things. Humanity is a group of ideological imbeciles. That is indeed true. However, to assume that you yourself do not have ideas of what is better for those you call foolish. That, too me, is just as arrogant as what you accuse me of. For why call them foolish if you do not think you know better, yes?

Uno closes its eyes for a moment, before looking back to regard Nero We'll see about that. For now, we'll just accept the distaste is mutual. The device steps closer to the nearest window, casting one final glance at Alice as it begins to climb out one cannot build a perfect machine with imperfect parts. No matter how much these few may try to improve their situation, it'll always fall flat in the end. Still, if one finds fault with a system, is it not their duty to guide it to the correct path? Its either that or let it drive you mad. without waiting for a reply, the device finishes climbing its way out of the building, and out of sight, its limbs making a faint clinking sound as it makes its own way through the city

Marco and the blue tank soon leaves Mission complete

Alice would simply giggle at what Nero said. "Absolute Knowledge huh?" as if looking off in the distance "Even with Absolute knowledge humanity would still make the same mistakes." She said more to herself as a mumble than to Nero "I shalt not deny nor affirm thine accusations. I am simply mineself. Nothing more, nothing less." Maybe she had lived far too long and observed far too many worlds. She wouldn't deny that she could be wrong. Her views were simply things she created from her own experiences. Besides, her knowledge was one thing she would not contest with someone else. She would then turn her attention back to the hologram. "Tis a beautiful name"

Nothing more and nothing less, hmm? Heh. I suppose I can respect that if nothing else. *Nero turns and starts walking away.* Come Blade. We're leaving. As for you, girl. The name is Doctor Simon Nero. I hope we never meet again, but I'm never that lucky.

"Tis a pleasure. Thy may call me Alice." She said with a smile once more 'Though meeting me in the end is inevitable' she thought to herself as she watched him leave. She would float outside as she looks at the moon with a sigh and then float away to the distance, not looking back.
