The Tyrants prepared themselves to face their enemies, the humans. Erik, on the other side, awaiting the arrival of humans were more than happy. The Tyrants, Tyrant Shifters, Impostors, all were together in this. Erik wanted to kill them all so he could establish rule of Tyrants, and him being Father means him ruling. Erik thought victory was his. He couldn't stop grinning.
On the other side, Operation Squad members were burning in rage. Their thirst for revenge thrusted their movements. Especially Madelyn and Aaron. They both were his closest companions, whom Erik betrayed. Every Operation Squad member looked at their enemies in distant being prepared. The fight for humanity rests on their shoulders. There are two ways now. Win and let Humanity live, or Lose and let Tyrants destroy humanity. Of course everyone was fighting for their species.
With the time approaching, every leader, followed by their teammate advanced. However, Lionel wasn't there. On the other side, Tyrants approached the soldiers. Aaron converted into Wawet and entered the fight scene, assisted by Madelyn. They both reached Erik, defeating Tyrants in the way.
"Welcome to my Kingdom!" Erik said with a grin.
"Why are you doing this? Please, tell me the truth" Aaron said transforming back from Wawet.
"What? You don't know? I do this to rule world!" Erik replied.
"Why? Why you have sudden change in heart?" Aaron asked.
"You really didn't get the fact? I'm not the Original Erik Spencer." Erik said.
"What do you mean!?" Madelyn asked shocked.
"Remember the first fight? Erik Spencer already died in it. I took his place. Erik was indeed eaten by a Tyrant. I saw him and copied him. After you killed the Tyrant and everyone left, I went inside the Tyrant and found Erik's dead head, consuming which I took over his memories. A typical Impostor trait." Erik said.
Aaron's jaw dropped. Madelyn's eyes widened. This whole time, there was an Impostor along with them.
"I mean, how can a normal human with no relation with a Tyrant suddenly become a Shifter? You all should've thought that." Erik said laughing.
Madelyn choked a little.
"Well none of these matter now. My plan to infiltrate, wait till the right moment and be a Father is successful now." Erik said, "And now after killing you all, I shall be the new ruler of the world." Erik transformed into the Tyrant, which was now greater in height, had more mass, looked more deadly. He growled after transforming.
Watching him convert, Aaron converted as well. They both growled at each other for a while and started fighting. Madelyn too wanted to join in but she couldn't. Moreover, Erik seemed much stronger than before, even though only three days have passed.
On the other side, Lionel reached the depths of the Jungle. Suddenly, a both sided axe came flying, getting stuck in a tree.
"There you are Shirogane." Zedd says appearing from behind trees.
Lionel glares at him.
"Today, one of us will be freed from our sufferings for once and for all!" Zedd said and transformed into Minotaur.
Lionel took out his sword and prepared his grapple gun. Minotaur stomped in front of Lionel, trying to scare him. Lionel was prepared for this, he sliced his leg. Minotaur might've thought to play around before attacking, but Lionel was serious. Minotaur fell on his knee, struggling to stand. He tried to punch him, which Lionel dodged, and moved a bit far. Minotaur was surprised. He then opened his fist, to find one of the explosive shuriken stuck in his hand. The moment it exploded, Lionel attacked his other hand, cutting his wrist. Minotaur screamed in pain. Lionel found a major opening. He seized the opportunity and grappled on his shoulder, striking his sword blade against the first arm, then he takes out his S-Bomb Gun, and shoots some bombs on his neck and jaws.
"Consider this as farewell gift Zedd." Lionel says, and does a backflip, while the bombs explode.
Zedd falls on ground.
Lionel takes out his sword and decapitates the fallen Zedd.
Zedd Moretti is finally dead.
On the battlefield, the soldiers were facing a huge resistance coming from Tyrants. There were many casualties on human side, but they were fighting with everything they had. Jacob showed great skills as a leader. He wasn't made a leader, but he was leading the army well. Lionel noticed that from distance.
Suddenly, the Cerberus arrived, attacking from behind, eating some of the soldiers.
The soldiers tried there best, but the Tyrant was ferocious. Jacob couldn't let any other soldier die, so he told everyone to retreat and hold. He then drew his sword and ran towards the Cerberus. He jumped to pounce at the Tyrant. Cerberus was ready as well to attack. Suddenly, few distraction explosives attacked Jacob and he fell back. Cerberus jumped over Jacob. Jacob was saved. Suddenly, few shurikens attacked Cerberus' legs, and an explosion occurred. Cerberus fell on the ground. Appearing above Cerberus was Lionel, who glided and landed on its neck.
"This was for interfering in my business." Lionel said and pressed a button, creating an explosion at its neck, killing it instantly.
"Puppy's down. Attack others!" Lionel said. Everyone ran towards the other Tyrants.
Lionel led forward his hand to pull Jacob up.
"What you did was pretty reckless. Don't do it again. Think with your brain. Not heart." Lionel said, while pulling Jacob.
"Yes sir!" Jacob said.
Lionel turned around and grappled away.
On the other side, Lycan and Wawet had a tough fight. Both were bleeding badly, but had no time to heal. Wawet and Lycan might be good fighters when in Tyrant form, but Lycan had more experience. This gave Wawet slight disadvantage. However, due to this battle, both of them were exhausted, this gave an opening to Madelyn, but she stopped, looking for an opportunity.
Wawet tried to pounce attack, but since he was exhausted, he couldn't find balance and fell. He screamed loudly. Lycan found him in a defenseless position, so seizing his opportunity, he jumped on him. Wawet tried to move him away using his legs, but couldn't, since Lycan stood on his legs, making him unable to move them. He even held Wawet's hands to not let him use them.
Lycan was slowly approaching Wawet's neck to bite him, when Madelyn cuts Wawet's legs and hands, making Lycan disbalanced and fall. Both Wawet and Lycan screamed. Lycan was off guard. Wawet seized the opportunity by healing his legs simultaneously and hitting Lycan. This time, Wawet got over Lycan. Wawet pulled Lycan's limbs and tore them. Lycan screamed in pain. Madelyn again seized the opportunity and threw explosives in Lycan's mouth. Wawet then force shut Lycan's mouth, creating an explosion in his mouth.
Lycan deformed back to human.
Madelyn stood near fallen Erik. She took out Lionel's sword, ready to kill him. Wawet stood there witnessing the scene. Madelyn held the sword. She started remembering the moments they both passed together. She points the sword at Erik's neck and cuts it in one stroke.
As Erik's head fell on ground, a gust of wind flew. Father of Tyrants was dead. Slowly all Tyrants started falling, their bodies converting into debris, shifters transforming back to their original species, including Wawet becoming Aaron, and Impostors becoming dead carcass.
Tyranny came to and end. Years of miseries, destruction, death caused by these beings has finally come to an end.
Madelyn sat down on her knees. She started looking at the sky, blankly, again, lost in her thoughts. Aaron and Lionel went near her to bring her back to this world.
"You did it Madelyn." Aaron said.
"No. We all did it." Madelyn replied.
Many soldiers were lying dead on the battlefield. Many Tyrant carcasses was there as well. The team went to stop Guard Tyrants never contacted back again. They never needed to.
Lionel removes his cowl and sits on the ground near Madelyn.
"So Commander, what now?" Lionel asks Aaron.
"Commander?" Aaron asks.
"You are the new Commander as per the orders of previous Commander." Lionel replies.
"To be honest, I don't have any idea." Aaron replied, "Won't they disband Operation Squad now?"
"I guess they will." Lionel replied.
"Its better if they don't." Aaron said.
"Why?" Lionel asked.
"If you remember, before the Tyrant re-appearance, terrorists were an issue." Aaron said.
"Actually, you are right. My first mission in army was against terrorists as well." Lionel said.
"And if you remember, the new case of Torak?" Aaron said.
"Yes, if there are many uprisings like that, we may have issues. Nice idea Aaron. We can go and have a talk with General." Lionel said.
"Ok sir." Aaron said.
"You are my sir now. No need to call me sir." Lionel said, "Though I think of retirement now."
"Retirement?" Aaron asked.
"Yes. With this broken, old body of mine, I feel like I'll be a more of a burden instead of being a help." Lionel replied.
"I guess you are right, you need rest after what you have done for everyone of us." Aaron said.
"You speak like a Commander already. Nice to see that." Lionel said.
"What about you Madelyn? Where will you go?" Aaron asked Madelyn.
"No idea. What about you?" Madelyn asked Aaron.
"After re-creating Operation Squad, I might be busy there." Aaron replied.
"You can come with me. After all the only known family Poppy has left is you and Trent." Lionel said to Madelyn.
"Are you sure?" Madelyn asked.
"Yes. They'll be happy to meet you." Lionel said.
"I can say about grandpa, but can't say the same about uncle." Madelyn said.
"You know when you witness." Lionel said.
"Madelyn found a family, now I can go without any worries." Aaron said sighing.
"Call me when you are going to meet General, we go and talk about Operation Squad together. (To Madelyn) Come lets go." Lionel said getting up.
