Global Pioener: Earth Second Change

They then realized that the Ankylosaurus was still lying on its back and had no way of moving normally.

Major Deri looked at its massive body, then said,

"Let's flip it over."

The Pioneers immediately moved to the side of the Ankylosaurus's body.

Deri stood at the front.

"Ready."

Everyone took position and placed their hands against the thick layer of mechanical armor covering its body.

"Push!"

They pushed together.

"HEEUP!"

The Ankylosaurus's body shifted slightly, but then stopped again.

Fajar took a breath.

"It's insanely heavy."

Deri nodded.

"One more time."

They took their positions again.

"Ready!"

"Push!"

"HEEUP!"

The massive body shifted again. One of its legs almost touched the ground, but the weight of its body caused it to fall back into its original position.

"Not yet!"

Rangga joined them, pressing his shoulder against it.

"Together!"

They pushed again.

"ONE!"

"Two!"

"THREE!"

"PUSH!"

This time, the Ankylosaurus's body shifted much farther. Several Pioneers nearly lost their balance as the creature's body began to move.

Fajar immediately shouted,

"Don't stop!"

They continued applying pressure, and the Ankylosaurus's body finally began to roll.

BRAK!

One of its legs slammed against the ground. However, its body had not completely returned to an upright position yet. Deri saw the opportunity.

"One more time!"

Everyone pushed again.

"HEEUP!"

With one final push, the Ankylosaurus's massive body finally rolled over completely.

BRAAAK!

All four of its legs touched the ground again, and the Ankylosaurus was now standing.

It did not attack or swing its tail. It simply stood there, looking passive. The Pioneers slowly removed their hands, and Fajar immediately grabbed his waist.

"Good grief..."

"Flipping it over was more exhausting than fighting it."

Rangga chuckled as he looked at the Ankylosaurus now standing calmly.

A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

"The important thing is that it worked."

Deri carefully observed the creature.

"Now let's see... what exactly this thing can do."

Meanwhile, on one of the live broadcasts showing the activities of the Garuda Pioneers on Savannah Island...

At first, viewers were still following the battle tensely. But a few moments later, the atmosphere in viewing rooms across Earth turned to confusion.

On the screen, several Garuda Pioneers could be seen standing beside a Mechanical Ankylosaurus.

The creature they had previously seen as a dangerous monster was now simply standing there.

Not attacking and not swinging its tail. Even when several Pioneers pushed its body together to flip it over, the Ankylosaurus merely complied without putting up any resistance.

Comments flooded the broadcast.

"HUH?!"

"What the hell is that?"

"They were just fighting that monster, weren't they?"

"Why are they pushing it around now?!"

"DID THEY TAME THE MONSTER?!"

Before people could even process what they were seeing, Rangga walked over to the Ankylosaurus.

He examined its body for a moment then, without the slightest hesitation, Rangga climbed onto the back of the mechanical creature.

The surrounding Pioneers simply watched and Rangga then raised both hands.

"HEY!"

The Ankylosaurus began to move.

Slowly at first then it began walking in circles around the area.

Rangga remained standing on its back with both hands raised, while the other Pioneers followed from below.

The live broadcast camera captured the entire scene clearly.

The comments became even more chaotic.

"NO FUCKING WAY."

"IS THAT THING A PET NOW?!"

"RANGGA IS RIDING AN ANKYLOSAURUS?!"

"WHEN DID YOU LEARN HOW TO RIDE MONSTERS?!"

"IS THIS A SURVIVAL WORLD OR A DINOSAUR-PETTING WORLD?!"

"HEY, IT'S ACTUALLY GOING AROUND."

"THE ANKYLOSAURUS IS LISTENING 😭"

"Garuda Nation is turning monsters into vehicles now?"

"WORLD ADMINISTRATOR, PLEASE EXPLAIN."

In several places, analysts even began recording the footage again because they could not believe what they had just witnessed.

They did not yet know how the Garuda Pioneers had made the mechanical creature become passive.

They also did not know the function of the device attached to its neck.

All they knew was one thing.

A few minutes earlier, that creature had been one of the most difficult monsters to fight on Savannah Island.

Now, Rangga was riding it around in circles as if he were testing out a new vehicle.

At the Presidential Office of the Garuda Nation.

Inside the meeting room, the large screen was still displaying the live broadcast from Savannah Island.

President Prabu sat silently, while General Surya could only stare at the screen as well.

There, Rangga could still be seen on the back of the Mechanical Ankylosaurus as it calmly walked around.

General Surya finally spoke.

"...I don't know what to say."

President Prabu sighed.

"Neither do I."

The two continued watching the screen. Several staff members in the room no longer even knew what they were supposed to write down.

"So..." one of the staff members finally dared to ask, "is it being controlled by our Pioneer now?"

General Surya turned toward him.

"We don't know."

"How did they do it?"

"We don't know that either."

President Prabu added calmly,

"All we know is that they managed to make the creature non-aggressive."

He looked back at the screen.

"And Rangga is riding it right now."

Before the conversation could continue, a staff member suddenly received a notification.

"President, there's an incoming call."

"From where?"

"The Green Jaguar Nation."

The staff member then added,

"And another one from the Golden Lion Nation."

President Prabu nodded.

"Put it through."

The main screen changed to a video call. The two presidents of their allied nations appeared on the screen.

The President of the Green Jaguar Nation spoke first.

"Good afternoon, President Prabu."

"Good afternoon."

The President of the Golden Lion Nation greeted him as well, though his expression was far more curious.

"We'd like to ask you something."

President Prabu could already guess what it was.

"About the broadcast?"

Both of them nodded almost simultaneously.

"Yes."

The President of the Green Jaguar Nation pointed at the screen behind him.

"We just saw one of the Garuda Pioneers riding a Mechanical Ankylosaurus."

The President of the Golden Lion Nation added,

"And not hunting it... We'd like to know how they did it."

President Prabu was silent for a moment, and General Surya turned toward him. The two exchanged glances.

Finally, President Prabu answered honestly.

"To be honest... We don't know yet either."

The two presidents on the screen looked slightly surprised.

"You don't know?"

General Surya shook his head.

"We're only receiving the same broadcast as you."

"We don't have any information about the device they used or how the Pioneer managed to make the Ankylosaurus become passive."

The President of the Green Jaguar Nation then smiled.

"Interesting."

The President of the Golden Lion Nation chuckled softly.

"So even the Garuda government doesn't know."

President Prabu nodded.

"Not yet... But we'll ask the Pioneers for an explanation when the next opportunity to send information arrives."

"With the message exchange seven days from now, we'll ask them to report what happened."

The President of the Green Jaguar Nation nodded in satisfaction.

"Of course... We'll be waiting."

The President of the Golden Lion Nation looked back at the broadcast, which was still showing Rangga.

"However, I have to admit..."

He smiled broadly.

"This is the first time I've ever seen a Pioneer ride a mechanical monster."

"Instead of hunting it."

General Surya smiled faintly.

"Looks like our Pioneers are becoming harder and harder to predict."

President Prabu merely shook his head as he looked back at the screen. There, Rangga was still sitting casually on top of the Ankylosaurus.

"Yes... And it seems we'll have to start getting used to things like this."
