Wind Clan looked at Sonic Clan. The leader stroked his chin. "Hmm. If you are joining together to form a coalition, why should we join you? There is no point if we cannot rule over the humans." "Listen. That might be true, but this senseless fighting is going to get too many of us killed. You included." I said. 06-001 walked up to me and tried to menace me, but it did not work. I saw all that he had to offer aside from his organ. He decided to reveal it then. A smooth black hole in his stomach opened up. I fought the urge to finger it. It was the size of the lotus that Cameron and Caleb could produce. We got the special one and they got the standard one. 06-001 pressed against me belly to belly. I could hear it ticking. There was also a light suction that I could feel coming from him. He was in the safehouse, so he was obviously holding back in order to not destroy the whole building. "The implosion bomb. Nice." I said to him. "Yeah. Mine actually works unlike those mutts." I did not doubt that. Because he was an example of a pure-bred Wind AEP, the damage and range for his organ was high.
Ava's bomb could leave a dent in me. About 30% of my health would be gone at full range. Even if he was holding back, at point blank range like this, I was looking at a good third of my health gone. The actual explosion would rock me too. I'd go deaf and be stunned for some time. Not something you wanted in combat. It would even make it easy for these assholes to kill me. "Not going to move?" he asked. If he wanted to play a game of chicken, we could. I pressed further into him. 06-001 began to look strained. After a minute he stepped back from me. He pressed his hand in front of the hole. The implosion bomb was manually diffused as it slowly closed. Even then, there were moments when it opened wider again. 06-001 had to grimace and make sure it closed all the way. Once he was done, he sighed in relief. 06-001 then glared at me. "Crazy fucker! I could have killed you! You want to die or something!?" he spat. I just looked at him. It was very interesting to see that the implosion bombs actually had a big weakness. It could not be left idle, or it would become harder to control.
I offered an alliance with Wind Clan. Everyone went crazy at the idea. "I like that game we just played. It's better than non-aggression pacts." I offered. The AEP units just looked at me. "You really are crazy." 06-001 said. I just looked back at him. "Maybe. But you know I am strong and ready for a fight. What do you even have to lose here!?" He smirked and looked at his clan leader. The leader rolled his eyes and said "Fine then. We can have an alliance with you." 06-001 and I shook hands and he pat me on the back. "Okay. Since we all allied, why don't we just calm down?" I said. Wind Clan said "Our opinions on humans won't change, but it's clear our agenda is not served by blindly charging into several AEP units. Wind Clan. We're leaving." They all got up and left the lounge. That left Radiation Clan. "You cowards!" the clan leader called after them. He then looked at us. "We don't back down to pathetic humans like you guys. If we're here, we fight!" The clan then all went hostile to us. We had our work cut out for us to kill them. There were ten of them. Luckily three were PEPs.
