Two more of his robots had been destroyed. Things were looking rather bad for Valence at this point, and it made him much more angry than he was before. What’s more, he hadn’t actually had the foresight to give any of his robots any ranged weapons this time, and he watched as Kiko simply dodged the melee attacks of his footsoldier robots with ease, and began to speed towards him.

He made a mental note to give his soldiers ranged weapons later. At this point in time though, it seemed that Kiko was trying to reason with him yet again.

As the girl flew high above the heads of the robots to approach Valence directly, the young inventor took the initiative to hop off of the submarine and run behind one of the many crates that dotted the port. This was probably one of the few times someone thought to target Valence rather than his robots. To be fair though, he normally operated from his “secret laboratory” or whatnot, using monitors and screens in order to talk to (and insult) the various heroes that would stop him.

As Valence came up with various “justifications” as to why Kiko shouldn’t target him, he decided it was time to use that “secret weapon” that he had been keeping within the submarine. He pressed the touchpad of the Universal Manipulator™ frantically, causing a rumbling to sound from within the submarine, followed by several stomps and clangs. From the submarine appeared the final robot, [url=http://pre12.deviantart.net/32ec/th/pre/i/2013/075/7/5/mechanic_giant_robot_knight_by_zelldweller-d5y7ups.jpg]significantly larger than the footsoldier robots prior[/url]. It had no hands, and was instead equipped with two guns in the place of gauntlets. This was the “Crusader Bot” - and a prototype of it at that. The metallic being crashed onto the port from the submarine, began to aim toward the Machine Doll during her flight - and prepared to start firing.
