The black beam engulfed Arachne"s body and giant explosion occurred making the Eastern Corridor shake. Green blood splattered all over the place. Shade hands were now burned and bleeding. Shade walked away and headed for the Tenth Floor.
Maddox's chambers.
Maddox was aware of Arachne"s death. He poured himself a glass of wine and drank it. Next to Maddox was The Captain Of The Death Strike Task Force Team, Ali. Ali was 7'3 and weighed 524 pounds. "I have a mission for you Ali," said Maddox. I want you to kill the one sent by Cornelius Advent. "His name is Shade." He is Cornelius Advent's greatest work yet. "He has a mind of his own." "He will be a formidable enemy if you don't be too careful." "He will not be a problem." "All machines are the same." They all have a core in their chest. "Once I rip the core out of his chest and crush in the palm of my hand, Shade will die instantly." Maddox began smiling. "You can proceed with your mission." Ali walked out of the Maddox"s Chambers and crunched his hand into a fist.
Near the Tenth Floor...
Shade began walking up the stairs of the tenth floor. He walked up the last flight of stairs and took a deep breath. Just down the hall was where Maddox was. When he began walking down the hall and could felt powerful energy heading hid way. The ground began rumbling. He looked forward and saw Ali. Ali held a spiky mace and a shield. He dragged the mace across the furnished red rug which began shredding. "You must be Shade." "I heard a lot of information about you." You killed the legendary demon spider Arachne." "I must congratulate you." Here. Ali tossed a see-through at Shade. Shade caught the see through the jar and opened it. It was chocolate chip cookies that were frosted. He took one of the cookies and bit a chunk out of them. He chewed it up and swallowed it. "Taste good doesn't?" said Ali. Ali was a born fighter. He was not the sneaky type. He didn't use food to poison his enemies. Shade placed the lid on the cookie jar and rolled it to the side. Shade pulled out one of his swords and shoved it in the ground. Ali began twirling his mace in the air. He began running towards Shade like a rhino. Shade evaded Ali and stabbed him in the back. Ali quickly turned around and shield bashed him in the chest. Blood squirted out of hid mouth and he smashed in the wall.
"You measly little blade will not harm me Shade," said Ali. Shade stood on his feet and spat blood out from his mouth onto the ground. He looked at his sword and saw a chip in it. He stuck his hand out and fired two beams from his hand cannons at Ali. Ali smiled and placed his shield in front of his body. His shield was alive and had a mind of its own. It was named Minos. Minos The Shield had a face on it. The beams dispersed as they came in contact with Minos. Ali pulled his mace out and smashed it on the ground with cracked up.
