"What is he doing?" Humot asked in anger, "Don't tell me he is planning to take down all our fighters? Is that even possible?"
Maekun Hitla stepped into the control room with a smile on his face, "If he is the bomb that I created with my own hands, then it might be possible."
All the Terrorists in the room bowed down, "General."
"But the bombs you created weren't like this – they do not move on their own," Humot reasoned.
"They do move on their own, but not without prior orders. That bomb you're all seeing on screen is defective! We need to destroy it or it might become a very big blockade to our cause." Maekun's smile turned into a frown after he realized the severity of the situation they were in. He turned to face a techie beside him, "Sanzo, activate the rest of the NTs (*NT means Nuclear Terror) – their mission is to destroy NT-600!"
"How many should we activate?" Sanzo asked.
"For now, launch 50." Maekun answered.
"50? Isn't that too much? I think five would be enough." Sanzo spoke as he activated the 50 NTs.
"NT-600 is special. The others won't be able to take it down easily," The general walked closer to the screen as he crossed his hands behind his back like a typical boss.
The fighters shot out several missiles at Ryan. His rocket launcher revealed itself out of his back and shot out five rockets before moving back into its place. Four of those rockets destroyed 10 enemy missiles out of the initial 50 while the last rocket destroyed an enemy fighter. That fighter crashed into another fighter, causing their downfalls.
Ryan set the laser's destructive power to level Mega, then he began firing his mini-guns at the incoming missiles. A few seconds later, his eye lasers also joined the firing squad, resulting in the explosions of several more missiles. Python! Ryan said and hacked into another fighter. He made that fighter crash into another, right after firing about three missiles at the other fighters.
A missile fired by the enemy successfully reached Ryan's body space, but before it could touch him, Ryan used his rocket booster and shot himself meters away from the impact site! The blast pushed Ryan further away from the point of explosion. In mid-air, he focused his gaze on the twelve fighters remaining, and the red bar appeared again.
Missile Launchers: [UNLOCKED} These are located above your jaw and possess highly destructive capabilities.
All targets have been acquired! Your missiles are now ready for attack. Missiles do not affect your expiry date, neither does it affect your lives; but after its usage, you would be rendered immobile for a while.
"Not bad. Twelve missiles launch!" Ryan shouted out and a spot above his jaw opened up to reveal twelve small-sized terrifying missiles.
Are you sure you want to fire now? Firing more than three missiles could render you immobile for days; do you still want to fire? The red bar asked.
"Fire all twelve missiles at the acquired targets!" Ryan roared out and the missiles jumped into the air, closely following the enemy fighters. As soon as the missiles made contact with the fighters, they exploded immediately, ending the battle.
Ryan felt his legs tremble and shiver before he fell on the wet grounds. His eyes became blurry then he passed out. He turned off the timer. Looks like I underestimated myself. 10 minutes was more than enough!
"He actually did it? He destroyed them all!" Humot cried out before turning to face the general. "General, I have failed you. I will take full responsibility for our loss and resign from my position as Lord of the Gates."
"You did not fail me, Humot." Maekun grinned, "That defective NT just showed me how powerful my creations really are! And he's just one of them! Just imagine what we could do with our hundreds!"
"We would be able to take over the world!" Humot smiled happily.
"Go and inform Lieutenant Madera to round up our men! We are marching to Ugaine very soon! We will show them our power!" Maekun grinned evilly.
"But sir, Ugaine are still currently fighting a war with Ruzzia! We cannot interfere until one of them loses!" Humot replied.
"We will aid Ruzzia in winning the war, then we'll double-cross them." Maekun laughed.
"General, if we didn't have those technologies you designed, I would have called you crazy." Humot smiled.
Maekun nodded his head and laughed, "If you had called me crazy, I would have your head sent to your family as a token of my gratitude."
Humot laughed out loud, "My mother would laugh at my death, so would my father."
"You know that's not true," Maekun turned back to face the screen. In the screen, 50 NTs moved quickly through the air. They resembled small flying jets which looked kind of terrifying.
Lynnette ran to Ryan and tried to wake him up, but he couldn't, he had lost his consciousness. "Ryan wake up! Your brothers are here!"
The red bar appeared in front of Ryan's eyes again, blinking more rapidly than normal. The constant blinking caused Ryan's eyes to open up slowly. "What now? Can't you see I was trying to sleep?"
NTs are approaching! I've readied the EMP. Would you like to activate it now? Note; using the EMP would take 10 of your lives. Normally, it shouldn't affect your lives or your expiry date, but given the fact that you're out of commission, your lives would be used instead of your energy.
"Those NTs, are they like me?" Ryan knew that there was no way those NTs had consciousness like him, but still, he was curious.
They are manually controlled, but advanced NTs such as the NT-505 and the NT-007 might possess artificial intelligence.
Ryan glanced at the NTs dashing through the air and smiled, "Can I also do that?"
Yes, but for now, I've locked it. I'll grant you access to it when you're ready. Should I activate the EMP?
"Do as you wish," Ryan replied.
Gladly, Mr. Bonnier.
Ryan's eyes shot open immediately, How did she know my last name? I never revealed that to her! An intense amount of a nearly invisible energy burst out of Ryan and spread out into the air, covering over several kilometers. Any electronic systems within this energy was shut down immediately, including Ryan himself.
Maekun laughed out loudly while the rest glanced at him in shock. They expected him to be furious, but he just kept on laughing. Then, all of a sudden, the smiles turned into a dreadful look, "I can't believe this NT-600 is now a big problem to us. After the EMP waves die out, fetch the NTs and bring them back to my lab – proceed with the plans for the war, I'll deal with NT-600 myself."
