The Storm Mecha helped the defenders repel the Scum Soldiers’ assault on Sihang Warehouse, leaving nearly four thousand attackers dead and prompting foreign officials to question the weapon’s origins. At three in the morning, Wang Han used the Energy Points he had accumulated to fly into the ruined city, where Jin Weixun’s forces prepared to confront him, unaware of what was coming.

Megatron attacked the Shit Country fleet at night, using bombs, guns, and missiles to set ships ablaze and cripple their defenses. Yamamoto Isoroku struggled to respond as Wang Han continued the assault, while people in the foreign concession watched the distant explosions.

After learning that Hua Nation and Shit Country had agreed to a temporary ceasefire and peace talks, Wang Han used the pause to travel to Shit Country and reached Mount Fuji as Megatron.
