Angels were quick to wrath and no strangers to dishing out divine justice. Zero could tell what Null was thinking. He truly was part Angel. Zero couldn't interfere in the matters of humans but he wasn't going to stop Null if he wanted to enact some much need divine justice. He knew there was going to be consequences but sometimes a child had to learn the lesson the hard way.
He had an ulterior motive. If Null truly was attached to some form of Alterra system he had to see what type of risk he was to the galaxy.
Null was not thinking straight, he wasn't sure how much of this was his rage or Jania. Ever since he opened up a mental connection he felt like he couldn't close it fully and her rage and fury were bleeding through the link. He opened up the library and spent 1000EP
**Purchased Gate(2) 1000EP**
Gate level two allowed Null to travel anywhere in the Solar system if he knew its spatial coordinates but used more energy than he possessed in his fusion mode. He hurried and obtained one of his backup suits. He was now ready and he knew there would be consequences for his actions but the rage and anger had overtaken him.
Lisa and Chris had no idea what was going on, but they instinctively knew that the black aura surrounding Null meant death. They were terrified of him and had backed away into a corner.
"What going on?" asked Lisa.
"You will see soon" Zero cryptically answered. Lisa hated when people would answer like that, if you know you should just tell people. Yet she wasn't going to push her luck she was still processing the fact that Angels are real, and if Angels are real does that mean God is real?
Null had returned and was now wearing his suit and had enough energy to gate to Mars. He open up the gate and left for Mars.
**Mission Complete. Reward: +10 energy**
Null was perplexed what mission?. "System what mission?"
** Response: Attend 2100 New Year Soldier Celebration**
'Can the system see the future, or is it controlling me to get the future it wants?' it wasn't luck, that he was present here tonight. That would have to wait until later. It seemed a lot of things were piling up on the 'to think about later' list.
He had about an hour until showtime but he had to discover a method of getting to the correct dome. He had arrived in Elysium but that wasn't where the Miltary parade was happening. Military exercises were held in a specifically designed dome on the other side of Mars. The problem was Null didn't know the coordinates so couldn't gate.
He decided to try something, he took one of the emergency breathing masks from a nearby dome building. Mars was built on redundant safety features so no one would miss it. He wanted to see if his wings were just for show. He ran to the edge of the dome and teleported outside and tried to fly and to his disappointment, it seem they were just for show.
He had to use multiple level 1 gates to finally reach the outside of the military dome. This had taken longer than an hour and the parade had already started. Null had to recover his energy before getting started but he also had to use zero hacking software to hack into audio and visual feeds. He was not Zero and couldn't add random people to his mental network so would need to use good old fashion technology. Divine retribution needs to be explained or he would like some type of hostile alien.
Null looked into the VIP box and saw that the General and John had made it off the station. He was flooded with Jania memories and feelings. The mental link with Jania was still active and it was enough to reignite his rage. It was showtime, he teleported to the highest location in the dome and hacked into the feeds.
"People of mars. I am the Angel of Wrath. Welcome to Judgement Night!" Null looked the part he had his Wings fully extended and the black aura around his body. He Blinked into the VIP box and snatched both General Alexander and Colonel John Carter and return original location.
"These two have been found guilty of crimes against Angel kind. Punishment. Divine Justice"
At the order of their superior officers, the soldiers changed into their decompression survival gear and loaded the live rounds and fire at the boy and his hostages. The officers knew that sacrificing The general and colonel would be justified if they could take out the terrorist with access to weapons of mass destruction
All the rounds converged on the group. "Halt". The Halt spell had been upgraded as Null affinity to motion field had increased. He could now completely stop all projectiles within 5m of him. All the round just stop in midair. "The hubris of humans knows no bounds. The General imprisoned me, an Angel for a month and now you dare try and kill an Angel but that is not your worst crime!. No, your worst crime was trying to create your own Angel"
Null started to play the memories of Jania for all to see. So they could live the torture she had to endure. He had realised it as he was too busy performing but Null had started to use his wings to fly. While carrying the motionless hostages. When he had seized them he had used a technique from the super-soldier program that severed the spinal cord at C4 disabling all possible movement.
The black aura around him started to take the shape of a tentacle. "Now General you shall receive your judgement!" the tentacle penetrated the general chest but there was no blood. After a few seconds, he just disintegrated. "Guilty!". Null then looked at the Colonel and knew he needed a more personal touch. He didn't physically touch him, but the Colonel's heart was in his hand. He had teleported it outside his body. Null made a show of crushing the heart.
He then landed on the group and walked towards the rest of the soldiers. He now had multiple tentacles and they would lash out at random soldiers. Sometimes the tentacle would hit a soldier and do nothing.
"You have passed your judgement don't waste this second chance" Null had fully adopted the role.
