Chapter 8 - Chapter Eight : Death Squad (1)

"Fuck, how did it come to this?" He asked himself as the military service men and women around, quickly responded to the instructions been given.

"Taking precautions sir."

"Yes do so. " He responded absentmindedly as he ruffled his white hair.

"Do we know who connected ?" He asked suddenly as he felt a sudden hunch.

"We don't sir. But we do know it has to be a Bionic sir. "

"How many Bionics do we have ?" He asked suddenly as everyone in the hall who heard him paused for a second to stare at him, as he was quick enough to realise his mistake.

"Oh sorry, don't bother" He said as he walked out of the hall.

'How many Bionics ? we literally in the golden age of our race existence, with artificial intelligence presence like the sands on a beach.' he chuckled as his cell immediately beeped.

"Vice Supreme General!"

He saluted before the visible hologram as the blonde lady before him nodded her head slightly.

"What's the situation ?"

"VSG. PERMAFROST is currently active." He said as there was a solemn silence in his office.

"SInce when ?" The lady asked with a visible frown on her face.

"Few minutes ago ma'am. " He said.

"Confirmed who it's?" She asked again.

"Not yet. But I have a hunch ma'am."

"Spill."

"I think it might be one of the Bionic Ten ."

"Mhmm...continue ." She said as he began his explanation.

"PERMAFROST was created by Bionic 5 under the instructions of Bionic One. At the moment none of the Bionic Ten exists apart from Bionic One. So I think it might be him. "

"Mhmm...General. Have you forgotten what we did to Bionic One ? we cleared all his memories, apart from that of his wife's death, because it was useful and important for us. While it was successful it's also safe to say other lingering less useful memories would still exist, but definitely not PERMAFROST. "

"So you're saying it's not him? ma'am. "

"Most likely. And I guess you're alone ?" She asked as her lips tensed for a moment.

"Yes ma'am, I'm alone."

"Good. You do know that officially, only Bionic One is active. But unofficially, there are three more active. And word of this can't get out as it would bring a high disapproval ratings to the Supreme General."

"So you might think it's the others ?" He asked as she nodded her head softly.

"But anyways, monitor the situation and ensure our servers aren't hacked and get PERMAFROST down, by all means. You know what it feels like when a giant eyeball stares down at a planet, nothing is hidden."

"Yes ma. " He said as he saluted her, the hologram going off.

"Bionic One, what are you up to ?" He muttered to himself,his forehead creasing up.

Meanwhile Cronos stared at the dark sky with its numerous stars, laughing softly.

"It seems they weren't lying.....but they also weren't telling the truth."

Beep!

Beep!

"Yes." He connected to the incoming call as the caller muttered some words to him before logging off.

He casually walked away as he heard the sound of the numerous police sirens, blasting in the distance.

"Time to get a good sleep....cause my revenge isn't over." He said to himself, a wide smile appearing on his face.

"Cronos!"

Cronos stared at his superior as she scowled at him, her emotions flailin, her fists clenched hard.

"Why the fuck did you activate Permafrost ?" She asked as she walked up to him, with an angry facial expression.

"It's mine isn't it ?" Cronos asked.

"It was confiscated by the government after your grave crime." She spat out as he casually shrugged his shoulders.

"If so, then why was it still up ?" He asked as she slowly rubbed her temple.

"But you know, I couldn't remember Permafrost not until the night of yesterday....someone tampered with my memories ?" He asked.

"Fuck....this is going to be a problem ." Queen muttered under her breathe, walking away from him.

Beep!

Beep!

"Ma'am the vice supreme commander is on the line." A pretty blonde assistant quickly said as Queen instructed her to connect immediately.

"Yes ma'am."

"Is Cronos there with you?" She asked as Queen stared at him before turning to the hologram figure in front of her.

"Yes ma." She replied.

"And I guess the other teammates are there right ?"

"Yes ma" she said once again as she stared at the team who were all in an active stance, waiting for their next orders.

"Good. Assemble your team immediately, the Pruitians have made their move and we need to make ours." She said calmly as Queen immediately saluted her.

"Yes ma!"

The call ended as Queen began dispatching orders to the military personnel's around her. Everyone got to work as well as Cronos squad who also checked their weapons and gears.

Suddenly Caramel walked up to the sitting Cronos who was just staring into space.

"Captain, thought of a name for our team ?" She asked him.

"No..." He paused as he turned his head towards her.

"You pick?."

"Me?" She stared at him wide eyed at his suggestion.

"How about the Bionic Ten ?" She said, her eyes smiling more than her lips, hands interlocked behind her back.

Cronos chuckled as he stared at her and then the rest of his team who were busy with their gears and other stuffs.

"You all wouldn't compare ." Cronos said slowly as he stood up.

"Death Squad. " He said as he walked forward slowly.

" And why Death Squad ?" She asked again as she walked by his side, staring at him with a curious facial expression.

"Because she's simply sending you all to your death"

"What about you ?" She asked with a mocking smile on her face.

"Been there before, seen it; its nothing."
