IPL Storyline Mission 4: BBco Collab, Part 6
As the mech’s cannon arm fell apart, pieces of its casing falling off into the waters below, the trainers battling it around Perry whooped and yelled.
“That’s it!” one shouted. “That’s gotta be it. It can’t attack any more! It’s only a matter of time, right?”
Perry shook his head. Yes, the ferry was now safely out of harm's way, but his old eyes were following the course of the mech’s progress, settling on the long, thin bridge between Challenger and Selfyr Island.

"The monolith of Kanto can't stand tall if it's missing it's load bearing beam: The Defense Minister. "
With over 100 votes, it is time to close the Kanto Minister of Defense contest. Thank you to everyone that voted, and to all 12 of our contestants! The competition brought out some exemplary characters, but as decided by the community, only three made it to the top. In no particular order:

Mordecai Jehovah
Dao Nguyen
All three share the spirit of the position in one form or another. However we have deemed Dao Nguyen to be the most qualified for the position. An iron fist in debates, stoic and well versed in war... Kant
