Chapter 20 - Black Hound

Amidst the chaos of the mechanized battle, the maniacal laughter of the Black Hound rang out, cutting through the clamor like a blade. His voice echoed with a sinister tone, tinged with madness, as he taunted his opponents.

"Hahahahahah, so three against one, huh," he cackled, his laughter filled with a chilling confidence that sent shivers down the spines of those who heard it. The Black Hound's response was laced with an eerie sense of determination, as if the odds were nothing more than an intriguing challenge for him to conquer.

The atmosphere of the battle shifted with the Black Hound's unnerving laughter, adding an element of tension and unpredictability to an already intense confrontation. It was clear that the battle was far from over.

The Black Hound, undeterred by the odds stacked against him, unleashed a devastating barrage of missiles. Both of his arms bristled with firepower, as he charged his missile launchers and plasma cannon simultaneously. It was a formidable display of raw firepower, a relentless onslaught that filled the battlefield with fiery death.

GENESIS, Asher, and Felix dodged the relentless barrage of missiles and plasma fire unleashed by the Black Hound. Their mechs moved with grace and precision, narrowly evading each explosive threat.

Asher's quick thinking led to a plan. He issued a command to Joseph, "GENESIS, buy us some time. Keep the Black Hound occupied while we wait for the perfect opportunity to strike with our plasma cannon."

In a high-octane battle, GENESIS and the Black Hound clashed with incredible speed and precision. Joseph expertly executed his first move, wielding GENESIS's sword to deliver a deadly strike. However, the Black Hound proved to be a formidable adversary, evading GENESIS's every attack with agile maneuvers.

As the engagement intensified, the Black Hound couldn't resist taunting, "Hahahah, amateur!"

With a swift and powerful kick, the Black Hound caught GENESIS off guard, sending the agile mech sprawling. As it regained its footing, the Black Hound locked onto GENESIS with its plasma cannon and missile launcher, preparing to unleash devastation.

But just as the Black Hound was about to fire, the Hell Brothers, Asher and Felix, had been patiently charging their plasma cannon to full capacity. Seeing the opportune moment, Asher shouted to GENESIS, "Take this, you mad dogs!" It was the perfect moment to unleash the charged plasma cannon and turn the tide of the battle.

As the charged plasma cannon beam surged toward the Black Hound, it collided with the heavily armored mech. An explosive burst of energy enveloped the Black Hound, sending shockwaves rippling through the battlefield.

But in a shocking turn of events, the Black Hound's voice echoed, "You think I'm done?" This cryptic declaration left Joseph, Asher, and Felix in stunned disbelief. They exchanged bewildered glances, each uncertain about the true meaning of the Black Hound's words.

Felix turned to his brother, Asher, and asked, "Brother, how...?" The Black Hound's actions had caught them all off guard, and they anxiously awaited what would happen next.

The Black Hound, seemingly undeterred, initiated a process to purge its heavy armors, creating an enigmatic atmosphere filled with tension and mystery.

As the Black Hound moved at incredible speed, Joseph quickly warned Felix, "Felix, it's coming for you!" With astonishing agility, the Black Hound managed to slice through Felix's mech, cutting it in half and rendering it unable to move.

Fueled by anger, Asher aimed his plasma cannon at the Black Hound, determined to take revenge for his fallen brother. However, to Asher's astonishment, the Black Hound demonstrated an uncanny ability to absorb the plasma cannon's energy beams with just the palm of its hands. It effortlessly redirected the absorbed energy back towards Asher, causing significant damage to his mech and leaving it with only one functioning arm.

In the midst of this chaos, the Black Hound's maniacal laughter echoed through the battlefield. "Hahahahahha, don't you know why we are called the Black Hound?" The situation had taken a dire turn, and the true capabilities of the Black Hound were shrouded in enigma and danger.

The Black Hound spoke with a dark and twisted sense of amusement, revealing the truth behind their sinister name. "We are a band of criminals, born from the shadows of society. War, slavery, corruption – these are the tools of the trade for those in the corporate world. They hire us to carry out their dirty work, to do the things they cannot do openly. They wash their hands of the blood they spill, while we revel in the chaos they create. Hahahahahahah."

Joseph's resolve burned brighter as he confronted the Black Hound. "Tskkk, as long as people like you exist!, the world will never find peace!" GENESIS advanced with sword unsheathed, poised to strike down. The clash between the two mechs happened.

"Hahahaha, you blame us?" Black Hound taunted as it countered GENESIS's attack with uncanny agility, delivering a devastating kick that sent GENESIS soaring. "Don't you see, in matters like these, there is no clear distinction between black and white, only shades of gray."

Black Hound continued with an unsettling grin, "Some will view us as their saviors, while others will see you as their worst enemies."

As Black Hound confidently approached GENESIS, he positioned himself to step on the fallen mech. The cold, heartless words, "Now, say goodbye" were delivered with malice and contempt. Black Hound then took GENESIS's sword, raising it menacingly as if preparing to deliver a final, fatal blow.

In the heat of the moment, Asher unleashed a plasma cannon shot towards Black Hound. Frustration was evident in his voice as he muttered, "Tskkk, this guy never learns." However, Black Hound's sinister cunning prevailed once more. He absorbed the plasma cannon's energy, then redirected it back at Asher's mech. The intense energy blast struck Asher's machine, causing him to cry out in pain, "Arghhhhh," as his mech sustained significant damage. The situation had taken a grim turn, increasing the tension in the battle.

"Brother!" Felix shouted in distress as he witnessed the damage Asher had sustained.

Joseph, fueled by anger and determination, declared, "Alright... if they see me as their worst enemy, then so be it." With that, GENESIS unleashed its potential.

Black Hound, observing the sudden surge of power in GENESIS, reacted with a mocking tone, "Whoa, whoa, what do we have here?" As GENESIS charged forward, it delivered a swift and powerful strike against Black Hound, who managed to block the attack with sword.

"I see... this guy means business. That's why the ARTIFICIAL is willing to pay us tenfold. His bounty is higher than I expected," Black Hound mused.

GENESIS charged forward once more, and in front of Black Hound, it left behind only an afterimage, baffling Black Hound. "Huh? An afterimage?" he said, clearly confused. But suddenly, GENESIS delivered a powerful kick from behind, catching Black Hound off guard. The battle between these two formidable foes continued with intense and unpredictable movements.

As everyone on the Silver Prism motherbase ship watched the intense battle between GENESIS and Black Hound, a glimmer of hope filled their hearts. Their faith in Joseph and GENESIS was unwavering, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation and determination, praying for their success.

The battle raged on between GENESIS and Black Hound. GENESIS, with its incredible potential, pushed forward with relentless force, each strike deliberate and powerful. The mech seemed to move with a purpose, as if it was a force of nature itself. Black Hound, on the other hand, relied on his exceptional piloting skills. He weaved through GENESIS's attacks with agility and precision, narrowly avoiding the devastating blows.

GENESIS swung its sword, aiming to cleave through the Black Hound's defenses. Black Hound, however, twisted his mech, narrowly avoiding the lethal strike. He retaliated with a series of quick and precise slashes, but GENESIS fast enough to dodge it.

The Silver Prism's team watched in suspense as the battle unfolded. Every move, every strike, was a calculated risk. GENESIS and Black Hound. The outcome of this battle remained uncertain. As the mechs clashed, sparks flew, and the battleground bore the scars of their intense fight. The tension was palpable, and the hope for GENESIS's victory.

As the mechs ran out of energy, GENESIS and Black Hound found themselves locked in a deadly showdown. Both pilots knew that this final clash would determine their fates. GENESIS raised its sword, its thrusters flaring to life. Black Hound did the same, his mech's sword gleaming in the dim light.

With their thrusters at full power, they hurtled toward each other, closing the distance with incredible speed. It was a game of seconds now, a test of who would strike the final blow. GENESIS aimed its sword toward Black Hound, while Black Hound's blade was inches away from GENESIS.

The tension was unbearable, and the outcome remained uncertain until the very last moment. As they collided, it appeared as though both mechs would be struck down simultaneously. It was a matter of split seconds, a battle of luck and skill that would determine who would live and who would meet their end in this fateful clash.

After the final blow, the entire team at the Silver Prism Motherbase watched with bated breath as the two mechs clashed in a fierce showdown. Eliza, filled with concern, couldn't help but call out over the communication channel, her voice laced with worry, "Joseph?"

Joseph's voice came over the intercom, reassuring everyone, "I'm still alive."

A collective sigh of relief washed over the onlookers, who had been holding their breath during that intense moment.

Black Hound's mech underwent a transformation, with its chest piece morphing into a flying plane. He glared at Joseph and spoke with an air of finality, "The next time we meet, there will be death."

With those ominous words, Black Hound's mech took to the sky and quickly departed, leaving behind a scene of destruction and uncertainty.

TheForesight's voice came over the communication channel as Eliza listened intently. "We made it. Thank you, The Silver Prism. As promised, we will send you extra credit for your exceptional efforts. Once again, I want to express our gratitude for your bravery and dedication."
