The negi responded with an equal amount of force, meeting their attacks with their own energy blasts. A good number more of negi did fall. Only a few hundred were remaining as they started taking down WARDEN drones and bypassing many blasts. By the time they got to the barricade, only a good hundred remained...
But then, reinforcements arrived. They were not Coalition forces.
Miniscule holes started to appear in the hull as the negative energy was at work. It would not affect the negi, but the Coalition would not be so lucky. Could they survive in the vacuum of space? The negi could. They would thrive there, in fact, in the cold darkness.
Portals opened on the other side of the barricade, and through it, an army of... K2323-cyborgs came through. They were the cyborgs created by C2323 that had been taken over in the secret K Lab, now the Plex Labs... The cyborgs began to take out Coalition forces from behind their barricade, while negi tried to break through it from the other side.
