The swarm surrounded them.
Arin's tactical display showed Titans closing from every direction.
But he wasn't fighting alone anymore.
Two Guardians meant twice the power.
G-01 leaped forward using its thrusters.
Its massive blade sliced through two Titans at once.
Behind it, G-02 deployed missile pods from its shoulders.
Dozens of explosive projectiles launched into the swarm.
Massive explosions lit up the dark ocean.
Still, the Titans kept advancing.
Arin gritted his teeth.
"There are too many."
Astra responded calmly.
"Commander, your system is adapting."
Suddenly the interface flashed.
NEW SKILL UNLOCKED
Guardian Synchronization.
Arin activated it instantly.
Energy surged between both machines.
Their movements became perfectly coordinated.
Now they fought like a single entity.
Swarm Breaker
The battlefield shifted immediately.
G-02 grabbed a Titan and slammed it into another.
Meanwhile G-01 dashed through the swarm like lightning.
The Titanbreaker Sword glowed brighter with every strike.
Arin's reflexes improved rapidly as the system enhanced his neural control.
Within minutes…
Ten Titans had fallen.
Then fifteen.
Then twenty.
But the system suddenly issued a warning.
UNKNOWN ENERGY SIGNATURE DETECTED
Arin looked toward the horizon.
Something enormous was approaching.
And it was bigger than the rest.
