"Idiotic heretics. Scourge, can you accept that mortals are insulting our species?"

"...I suppose."
A creature in a dark purple hood and mantle appears. It has six eyes shining from under the hood and a Homo Sapiens-like spine showing from the back of the mantle.
"Astrum, friend, what is it?"
"Envoy? I'd like to keep the number of participants in this combat to the minimum."
"Who bothers you?"
"Collective heretics, pope of the fractals, incoming Caroleans division to answer this "invasion", you, Scourge and me."
"Very well, pleased to see you."
The creature disappears.
"Slime, ignore Collectives, crush the pope and attempt split forces-"
"SLIME CRUUUUUSH!"
The Astrageldon slime lands on Bishop. It bounces off as if the slime was made out of styrofoam.
"Did I not teach you? Enrage properl-"
"CRUUUUUSH!"
The slime boops Bishop, the slime bounces off again while Bishop is standing still despite the slime's enormous size.
Bishop slowly twirls its thurible around and looks up in the sky as a faint sound is heard. A moment later a number of drop pods are revealed from the clouds, they fall down at immense speed and open. They reveal eight humans with wooden prosthetics, one human with a brass, crank-driven original Gatling's Gun in his chest, and a new-model Glitcher in a dark brown gambeson stylized as a trench coat. All humans are wearing blue greatcoats with yellow cuffs and tricornes and display large Parafocusers, as well as a lead flask-like object on their hips. The Glitcher immediately reveals four Orbs: two of them sparkle and generally resemble a contained ball lightning, and the other two resemble suspended balls of plasma. The orbs rotate around the Glitcher head at a distance where common ball lightnings and plasma would most likely kill him.
"Greetings, Raiders. It is best you avoid this governmental scale conflict and stand back. Crescent formation, artillery stands in center and distracts with shots AROUND the target, go!"
The human with a gun in his chest moves and unloads bursts of fire in areas around the slime, it hops around to avoid bursts which aren't going to hit anyway. While the artillery is distracting, the other humans assemble in a crescent-shaped formation with the Glitcher holding up his hands, controlling his Orbs and giving a signal to hold fire. Once everyone is in shape, the Glitcher shows a fingergun towards the slime. The humans aim their guns at the slime, which is hopping back and forth, being an easy target. The Glitcher shows the fingergun firing, two of his Orbs zapping the slime, and all humans fire their Parafocusers, decimating the slime in a moment. The artillery human cleans up alive chunks that remained and shrugs.
"Were you sure that we needed the whole division?"
"When facing an unknown threat, yes, lieutenant, uh. Sorry, what was it?"
"Lt. Etouxou, sir."
"Right! I need a new databank. Everyone has done well and earns a promotion. Raiders, no need to thank us."
The Caroleans get back into their drop pods and engage a second door. The Glitcher flips all drop pods to face upwards, inserts a small piece of the Orb powering him into each pod, then boards his own pod after flipping and coding it to fly back into the Citadel. The pods release an explosion and fly off in the sky, beginning to thrust in the general direction of where the Raiders came from, over the wall that is following.
Astrum Deus is silent, and Bishop stops twirling his thurible. The arm turrets were destroyed by lt. Etouxou's fire, and the Droden guard kneels before Bishop, who bonks the guard with the thurible and with holy power and hangs it back on his hip, knocking out the guard and beggining to convert it using the bots residing in the thurible. Bishop collects small pieces of slime and assembles them into a friendly slime that comes alive when reaching sufficient mass. Bishop pets the slime, beginning its conversion as well, and gestures androids to continue.
