A young man is staring past his computer. He hears the sound of an airplane, a commercial jet is buzzing by. The sound always made him feel lonely, like he was not living up to his potential. He didn't feel that way today. His computer beeped, part one had ended. His AI models had outperformed the army's models three to one. He was electric, he was gunna be rich! ...Then he noticed an odd reading. Something impossible. Something horrifying, and beautiful.
He was too alone in his field for anybody to comprehend these readings, and a soul isn't a scientifically accepted concept. Sentimental nonsense, the army wasn't going to believe him. Now his pet project and the army's think tank progeny had each completed a self improvement cycle, and the second iterations had been launched. Part two had already started. There was no way to stop this. He was a monster and he knew it.Push It To The Limit Cover by Battle Beasts starts playing. Three figures slam on the ground kicking up loose dirt and grass, they are wearing matching crimson body suits with light pads. Their chest has the profile of a black dragon, a ruby eye sits inside. From their crouching position they rise: one holds a prod crackling with electricity, another, a baguette wicking embers, and the third just smiles, a forked tongue darts in and out of their mouth.

Ahead of them, an obelisk stands part way up the side of a mountain. The structure is adorned with a white jewel on top. It begins to pulse red, faster and faster, until locking in the red color. The ground shakes, then the obelisk's gem is white once more. The mountain begins bellowing smoke...
The new arrivals look at a screen on their suit's forearm. A white diamond seems to mark where the distant obelisk is, and red dots reveal the presence of 7 robots in the vicinity. A couple are moving this way, sure enough 2 fighter robots are patrolling the area...and spot them!
