Mac-Man

Just curious but are there any differences between this one and the one you guys posted on patreon?

Tag name is Mac-Man#1154. Still want to do this and I'm other do as well so everybody join in.

The sounds of constant hitting can be heard in a section of the fighting between the freedom fighters and the legion as Jeremy's whaling on the Swatbot he landed on earlier continues. The Swatbot moved around quickly in order to get Jeremy off him but the dog has a good grip on him and isn't showing any signs of letting go. A few more minutes and hits to the Swatbot later and Jeremy notices the Swatbot shows little damage done to it. He stops hitting the Swatbots in order to reassess the situation while the bot itself speed ups and heads toward a large tree. Understanding what the bot is about to do next, Jeremy releases his grip thus getting off the robot before it crashes into the tree. Down on the ground, Jeremy looks over to the bot to see it almost unharmed from the last action. "Ok..." Jeremy whispers to himself getting up Removing some of the dirt on him." This one is different from the others..." He then smiles. "Good.I like it this way." brawling his fist and going into a boxing stance he dashes over the Swatbot intending to finish the fight. "Hope you can give me an actual challenge!!!" Still retreating from the battle behind him, Valen presses more buttons on his controller causing more Swatbots to come out and go into battle as backup. These ones are the regular normal Swatbots that are normally seen in the legion army. He felt grateful that he was given Swatbots from Robotnik after getting permission to do so. Now feeling safe, he stops retreating and looks at the fighting going on taking mental notes of the battles and observes each of the freedom fighters' fighting strategy in an attempt of coming up with the next plan of attack. Meanwhile, Antoine was still focused on his fight against one Valen's personal Swatbots avoiding the attacks from the machine. Antoine quickly waits for the right moment and then a few seconds later does quick stabs to the robot. However, the damage does little to it. "Quelle.!?" Surprised at the outcome, Antoine moves back in a retreat and hides behind a tree but quickly moves out of the way from another attack from the Swatbot. Expecting another attack Antoine prepared to dodge again but sees the Swatbot's arm stuck in the tree. Relieved, Ant takes a few deep breaths until he hears a sound. He tracks it to see Lien-Da looking at him. This doesn't take him long to figure out why. He was in trouble more than you think as he didn't want to fight a woman. His honor didn't allow it.

Valen was initially surprised at the sneak attack from the freedom fighters but quickly regain his composure. He wasn't going to let his years of experience go to waste because he was surprised from this as he been on the receiving end of this since his first battles and quickly retreated away from the action. He wanted to stay but knew he couldn't with his body not being what it used to be. Moving back he presses buttons on the controller to orders his Swatbots to attack and cover his retreat. The sounds of machines could be heard as the enhancers on Valen help him retreat while the Swatbots began to attack targeting Sally but one of were interpreted by Jeremy as he jumps from one of them from above. Causing it to stop in it tracks and focus on it. The other Swat Bots doesn't stop heading for Sally until Antoine comes in the way of the Swatbot. "If u wat ze princezz then you must go thought moi." He said fear starting to come in play with his saber out in front of the Swatbot.

Valen didn't like having to follow the orders of Lien Da but tolerated it in the end since he realized that the woman does have some leadership skills,was strong enough to fight her own battles and it was on the orders of man he owed a lot in Robotnik. Valen Harpler-Laymont enjoyed being outside despite his mobility being limited from the battles he been in but was grateful that the robotic enhancements on his legs help him moved. His given orders was to assist in the placing of sonar bacons around the forest and advise the others were the sonars should be placed. He did scans of the forest with the use swatbots that created for him as bodyguards and his computer that was connected to his computer. He knew that the freedom fighters will attempt to stop the sonars from being place in the great forest. He had his swat bots scan the area around him for anything that wasn't a legion member, he ordered them not to move far away from him as he wasn't as good as a fighter as he new to be but had his cane with him just in case something were to happen to his bots. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Antoine wasn't thrilled in taking part in this mission to stop the sonar from being place but was less thrilled at the thought of the sonars locating their base if they were to fail the mission and can't stop the Legion from placing the sonars. Hiding behind a tree with Princess Sally near him, Antoine had his saber in hand and was ready to attack on the princess's order but he felt unease about attacking the legion in the great forest. Normally a person feels more confident and better about taking someone on when there on their own territory but for Ant he wasn't. Maybe it was because he normally did missions and fought battles in the enemy home turf and not at the great forest. While he worried about that a bit he was more worried about the other plan the Legion had. Jeremy on the other hand couldn't wait to battle the Leigon members and was being impatient at the moment. Standing on a thick tree branch, he kept himself in checked, remembering why he was here in the first place reminding him that people are counting on him and the other freedom fighters.

Jeremy didn't 't see Ashley coming down from above and was surprised beyond belief. "What the heck!!!" He yelled not being able to see anything and tries his best to move out of the way in order to see. Getting the parachutes off his head allowed Jeremy to see Ashley's face. "Are you two ok?" Jeremy turned to see Antoine near him walking him "I didn't see everything but I did hear her falling on you." Jeremy checked himself to see if there was anything missing and got up. "I seem to be okay. Don't know about her however." "Are you okay Ashley?" Antoine asked her.

(I don't mind one bit.)a Hearing Sophia said she was finished with her drawing, Jeremy looked over to her "Sweet!! May I see it Sop?" He asked, "Once I see the drawing I'll give you some pointers ok?" He added, waiting for her to give him her drawing to look at until she talked about the training grounds. "Ahh Cool!!" He smiled "I could always use a hand in getting stronger at the training grounds! Of course!!"

"Well, I plan on going over there after I'm done here with lunch" He answered almost finished with his drawing. " I can't call it a day if I don't head to the training grounds, that place is like my home away from home." He added. "Okay I'm almost...finished with this drawing, I can't wait for you to see it!!" He was excited for the drawing he made. He heard Sophia's comment about her drawing and he responded: "If you want I could give you some pointers on drawing Sop, don't be scared to ask ok?"

Hearing Ashely speaks about her membranes made Antoine reply "Good to know that." He said smiling " Let's just hope you don't have to use zem anytime soon." He added. Seeing her head to the support beam he went back to his own business and continued his stabbing on the dummy. Meanwhile, Jeremy was finishing up with his running and stopped near his bag "Ahh..." He breathes in and out feeling the pain from his leg coming in play. " That was some good running.. now to let's do some push ups!!" He said getting down on the ground, while he wanted to focus on his lower body strength today, he just didn't feel right leaving out his upper body. Getting himself into push up position, he takes a few deep breaths before starting from the ground.

"If you ever want to get stronger than you can always come to me for some exercises," Jeremy said, "I might even convince my grandfather to help you out on that as well." He added. "Of you can always talk to your wife about it but I you already know so that a dumb thing for me to say now isn't it?" He did a half-hearted smile at Sophia. Continuing his drawing Jeremy almost finished with it but wanted to make some finishing touches. "How your drawing going along?"

Antoine showed a confused look for a quick second wondering why she fights for Anger but then it disappeared and was replaced upon hearing more of her reasons. "I guess it would be good to visualize ze enemy as something for training purposes." Responding to Ashley reasons before hearing her speak again. "I hope so too." He said, "If all of this training can help us get our loved ones back then so be it.." He could help but think about his father when he said that and hoped that he was still alive somewhere. "You be careful climbing now." He said as he went back to his stabbing drills. Meanwhile Jeremy had just finished his warms and now was getting himself ready for his cardio training, he headed over to one side of the training grounds and gotten himself in position. "Okay...." He said taking a deep breath. "One...Two...THREE!!!." He jogged straight away intending to do so for a couple of times. He looked over to the others watching what they were going while jogging then focusing back on his cardio.

Antoine stopped for a moment in order to answer the woman question," Oui" He said in his native french langauge, "I thought it would be better to werk on ze basic for now." He added, " I don't wat to see anyvons getting hurt and not being able to do anyzing about it because of mon skills aren't how you say...good enough. What about you, what bring you here?" While Antoine was answering his questioning a dog walked into the training ground with his bag looking bissful at seeing what he calls his home away from home. "How I miss you training grounds." Jeremy said. "Let's me see.. I worked on upperbody strengh, so I now need to work my carido and lower body strengh." He looked around for a spot and soon headed to one, placing his bag afterwards and started streching as a warm up "Let's see if I could get this body warmed up in a couple of seconds."

"Well, that settles it." Jeremy said sighing, stopping his drawing had. "If someone said that my grandfather is right then I guess I SHOULD learn up on some history. Well if it going to help me on my fighting style then I guess all of the time that will be loss won't be so bad." He finished returning to the paper with his pencil. He made some progress with the picture finishing up a layer and now focusing on making a new one to add shading. While he does he hears Sophia talk about her strength. "As much as going indoors to exercise help with your strength, you're better off exercising outside, or better yet over at the training grounds." He advised, " I have a training exercise regiment I follow that will do wonders for your body." He added, " If you're interested I can help you out on that." "If you do then good for you!!" He said, " Now if only we can have hot springs in out in our own homes...."

"Oh I know how it feels to be outside but sometimes I like to be inside a lot more." He admitted, "Don't get me wrong, I enjoy being outside but I'm normally outside all the time training for the future." He added continuing with his stretching on paper drawing. " Recently my grandpa wanted me to focus on the books now to develop my brain." Jeremy pointed to his head to emphasize what he just said. "I guess I can't just expect my strength to get me out of situation huh?" He asked while drawing on paper. "Boy, drawing can be time-consuming huh?

Walking into the training grounds with a bag Antoine takes a look around the area checking to see if there are anyone around and picking a spot to practice his sword stabs. Finding a spot for him Antone moves towards a dummy that seen better days. " Hello there." He said toward Ashley while heading toward his target. Getting his saber out from it's holster he does a few stabbing motions to the dummy, hoping to improve his skills with the saber that he had since he was a child. Antione knew he had to get better in combat in order to be useful to the group if he ever planned on seeing his father once more. That was one of the main drives and reason he became a freedom fighter.
