As Malcom turned to walk away an alarm started blaring throughout the entire hallway. "Sounds like your friend wants another go at my base. I guess your not done here after-all, try not to get swatted this time kid," Malcom instructed as he made his way toward the elevator.
"Can you do this?" Carol spoke into my eyes as she grabbed my arm tightly.
"If I'm being honest, this is all I'm good for I have to do this," as I said the words my heart started racing. I pulled away from carols grip and made my way to Malcom.
The ride to the top was anything but quiet, with loud explosions going off above. A buzz sounded as we reached the target floor. The doors opened and I froze on the spot. He had grown in size, being almost as tall as the underground base itself. How could I compete with that, I was amazed.
Then I saw them like lights flying around at first glance but at second, Soldiers each using some kind of talent. "Is this how you maintained peace in this continent?" I turned to ask Malcom. Lit bright blue Malcom floated past me and said, "I knew you thought you were special kid, Keep up!"
Then he flew towards my cloans fearsome mask which had also been lit a dark red flame. Geez the guys a damn mech and you want me to keep up, I scoffed as I formed my suit. Dark blue flames poured out of my dragon mask as I jumped around in place, "Honestly I think they can handle it," I said as I looked towards Carol.
She looked at me then looked around. Piles of burning jets that looked like they were thrown or stepped on. Soldier corpses laid scattered around the base in uncountable numbers.
"We kinda brought him here you know?" Carol said in a sarcastic tone.
"Yea so what, you tried to warn him, plus I feel like I'll be too reckless and get hit by their weird magic," I responded as I watched a soldier in a sas uniform leap from a tank onto my cloans right thigh. The soldier's entire chest suddenly broke out in flames as he began relentlessly assaulting his position.
He sent a right hook and as it landed I could see an explosion before he sent another blow. " Damn who is that guy!" I shouted toward Carol, who had been watching right beside me. " Damn dude your loud..." She responded as she rubbed her ear with her pinky finger. " I get it, I get it," I said with a laugh as I began bolting towards my cloan.
I stopped about halfway because I noticed my cloan had gotten rid of all the jets. "Lucky me he cleared plenty of space" I shouted as I raised my arms outward. I formed an attack helicopter with dual mini guns and rocket launchers then jumped in. The cockpit was small and It made me a bit nervous but I launched the engines and began firing the guns at my cloans left leg emptying the clips as I closed the gap.
He threw an uppercut that caused the propellers to malfunction and stop. As the bird dropped I opened the hatch and formed a rail gun targeting his left leg again, I fired a shot that shattered his armor breaking off the leg from the thigh. I leaped toward the falling piece of metal, pushing myself off as I reached a safe height.
I hit the floor and a loud bang that shook the bunker sounded. I turned to see my cloan leaving his mech and returning it to oil as he vanished into the smoke caused by the fall.
The sas soldier jogged toward me and offered to help me off the floor. I was taking a knee so I took his offering, as I gripped his wrist he said,"Chris Syco right? I like your style good work bro"
"Thanks, if I'm being honest your a ranking reason I was motivated to fight at all." I responded with a firm tone. This man was amazing to me. The resolve he showed pushed me past my limits today, I think I might owe him a favor. " My name is Ashik, I am from fideram but I was raised on CMP territory, you like my fire yes. This i commend, it means you have good eyes. Now I must go" As Ashik spoke I smelled a strong alcohol scent hidden behind his heavy accent.
That was cool I guess, I looked around to find my helicopter wreckage and returned it to oil. Carol walked up as the last of the oil reached my hands. "See you could do it, I never doubted you at all!" She said as she suddenly reached for my mask. I launched myself backwards to dodge her attempted strike. "What the hell are you doing Carol?" I shouted as I formed a sword in my hands.
"I'm not who you think I am, let's make that clear first," Carol spoke in a soft tone as she drew a pistol firing 3 shots at my head. I blocked all three rounds with the sword then formed a bullet proof shield and charged her, knocking her unconscious with a single blow. "Must be her cloan, how did this even happen?"
As soon as I muttered these words Malcom landed next to me. " Let me guess she was a cloan?" He said while looking at carol. " Yea that's my take, she said she's not who I think she is and she made that clear," he responded. Where is Carol?
