Took me long enough!

Story written by @SILVERPANZER with TUPL contributions

The sun sets. An A-40C moves into position. The war rages on, even under the peaceful night skies. Yet this dusk was a moment of peace; no bullets flew just yet. He was having a good day. They were all having a good day.

Until the fog rolled in...

Command: Havoc! What's going on?!
A-40C 108: I don't really know.
Command: What do you see? What is it?!
A-40C 108: Uhm... I can't see anything. All I see is this stupid fog. I'm heading back to base.

With the Havoc out of the area, there was no one to oppose what was about to happen. So he struck.

Back from the dead, the Thermonuclear Psychopath charged down the mountains of the Wright Isles, eyes set on the Churchill that had taken him out when he was just an M-99. But in his blind rage, the TNP forgot one thing: he was going against a highly experienced tank hunter.

Already aware of the attack, Churchill simply waited for the TNP to get close. Then the fight started. Churchill had the better armor, more weapons, more experience, he was winning and by a surprisingly large margin. But then...
The sky turned red.
In a second wind fueled purely by rage and hatred, the TNP charged at Churchill with no sense of fear, pain, or caution- and it worked, albeit not without taking his own damages. Regardless, he had successfully dealt critical hits to Churchill, and he was on his last leg.

The TNP attacks with full force.

Stunned both mentally and physically, Churchill lies barely conscious, trying to limp away.

However, no comrades die that easily. Back for a rematch, Manface the Second appeared on the battlefield, armed, upgraded, and ready for a fight-

Charging into battle...
-Except he wasn't. He fired a few shots, but to little avail. He was quickly tackled by the TNP, and only survived due to his high speed and six wheels making for a swift escape.

...Badly damaged.

From the sky, help arrived. The T-59 tried his best to suppress the TNP, firing his laser on full. Unfortunately, though, the T-59 had received poor upgrades prior to the fight. The TNP took advantage of this, downing the T-59 and possessing him. Both the TNP and T-59 continued to now fly.

T-59 going down.

On the ground moments before possession.

But what's this? Someone put all their upgrade stats into aura. Like a steak knife cleaving through warm butter, a green light pierced through the fog with a wind that, surprisingly, blew away the foggy cover which the TNP loved so much. And if that wasn't bad enough, Thermo's real issue was the source of the force: Takusha.

The TNP wanted not a fight with a full-power Takusha, so he landed in a panic and sent the T-59 to deal with her. This would've been a good move, but Takusha was ready for it. After a short skirmish, she took down the T-59 with her EMP beam, and de-possessed it in the process.

Takusha flies away from the EMPed T-59, which can be seen in the blue circle.

With the fog gone, it was time for the rest of the agents to enact their plan; Operation Diversion was about to begin.

Several NMR tanks and drones, like the RD-06 and KV---------------2 shown above, began to group the possessed tanks towards Wright Airport. The KV---------------2 asserted absolute dominance, scaring even the TNP as his possessed tanks were slowly cornered onto the airfield. But even when surrounded and outnumbered, the TNP's enslaved tanks refused to go down without a fight.

XT3R "Faux 404" and two RD-06s tackle one of the two possessed BTA-60s.

The second BTA-60 was much more successful, effortlessly chucking an RD-06 into the air.

*A different RD-06 with wings added on falls and sinks into the water after a critical hit.

Absolute chaos, Ivan and Cy tackle two of the six possessed Imperial Cheetahs, that RD-06 is running from a different Cheetah, what's next?

Cy and an RD-06 tackling one of the Cheetahs, with the former using the latter's "tails" as a knife to cut the Cheetah's tracks.

The Cheetahs slowly fell, but the BTA-60s stood strong. Yet the NMR, Faux 404, and the massive army of RD-06s stood strong. Despite his small size, the Faux 404 did some of the biggest hits against the possessed Enargite VIIs.

Firing again as the BTA-60s finally start to retreat.

Faux using his smoke grenades to hide from the raging Enargite VII making a final stand.

One down, one to go. Faux and an RD-06 open hot pursuit on the final standing Enargite VII possessed by the TNP.

With his minions down, it's back to the TNP. Assuming the chaos had left everyone distracted, he looked around to finish off the Churchill and claim his revenge. Yet he didn't find the old tank hunter. Instead he found the Like and Subscribe button-
I need to sleep
Instead, he found Takusha waiting for him. Thus began the final battle of the final fight.

Takusha and Thermo fought fiercely, exchanging blows and retreating as needed. The fight also kept switching between air and ground, but one thing was certain; nobody was giving up. Takusha dealt quite a few good hits, as did the Thermonuclear Psychopath, but between top-of-the-line upgrades and sheer Soviet Bias, Takusha shrugged off most hits, albeit still struggling to lay the TNP low.

However, help came when it was needed most. Out of seemingly nowhere, Churchill returned with his "Crocodile II" attachment, shooting flames onto the TNP and virtually cooking it.

Critically wounded, the TNP fell down, only for the Churchill to tackle him and throw him into the ocean- just like last time. Thermo tried taking the Churchill into the water with him, but between Churchill's strength, the TNP's weakness, and Takusha interfering, the TNP would be alone as it plunged onto the water.

Bottom: The Thermonuclear Psychopath, virtually incapacitated, floats in the water, while Churchill clings onto the hill for dear life.

Sometime later, other NMR forces would arrive to recover the TNP.

Mitchell on his way.

The Thermonuclear Psychopath would be detained and studied, determined to figure out how he was created and how to stop him should he return.

However, out of the blue, as if possessed, Manface attacked Mitchell, firing several rounds at him- or more accurately he tried, but thanks to his heavy damage, his weapons were terribly off, instead striking the floor in front of him several times before charging at the MiG. Churchill, Ivan, and Mitchell proceeded to attack the seeming traitor, but he was quickly disabled by Takusha.

Mitchell: Wh- hey he's not moving.
Ivan: ?? ??????
Takusha: No, I've tranqed him. We don't need ANOTHER Thermonuclear Psychopath to deal with. Yet.
Collective: Yet?
Takusha: Well, of course, now that we have him in our custody, it's only right that we make our own Thermo-
Mitchell: Woah woah woah, you want to make more of them?!
Takusha: If we possess this power, we would be uns-
Ivan: ? ????? ? ??? ??? ??? ?? ???? ???????
Everyone turns towards the POV in question
