What's wrong with Flashfire? Part 5

"We can't let you do that!" Blackfire shouts as she flies in front of the robot.

The robot stops walking, processing her words.

"Question: How so?"

"If you ask the Earth governments to forego violence," you answer, "there will definitely be nations that refuse, forcing you to resort to your secondary strategy."

"And if you do that," Blackfire continues, "your destroying of their militaries will only make those nations hate you and your creators, and they will want to declare war against them. You will be creating more of what you wanted to destroy!"

The robot processes all this before speaking again.

"Then it is clear," it begins, "the only fit choice of action... is to immediately invoke Secondary Strategy."

"What?! No!!"

*WHAM* The robot slams one of its giant arms into you and Blackfire, and you two are swatted away like flies.

The robot continues on towards North America as you and Blackfire tumble and fall.

*WHOOSH* You steady yourself with your flight power, and catch Blackfire in your arms.

"Flashfire!!" you yell down at the house. Your sister walks back outside, pigtails still long and ropey.

"You can help us fight this giant robot!" Blackfire shouts.

Flashfire's face brightens up, and she flies up as fast as she can with the extra weight.

*WHOOSH* The three of you fly at the robot, starbolts at the ready.

*ZAAN* The robot's eyes fire a wide lazer beam, and the three of you scramble to dodge it.

"Am I the only one who can't fire eye lazers yet?!" Flashfire shouts.
