Chapter 21 - THE FATHER

The squad cautiously made their way through the dark and eerie cave, each step echoing through the cavernous space. The only sound other than their footsteps was the occasional drip of water. As they approached through the cave, a voice boomed out, causing everyone to jump in fright.

"We know why you're here, and we won't let you end our organization," the ominous voice said. "Proceed any further and I promise you, you will all die."

The agents were all trembling with fear, except for the twins Rioana and Fiona, who stood with their heads held high and a look of determination in their eyes. Rico, who was always level-headed, remained calm as well.

"We're not here to fight you," Rico called out, trying to diffuse the tension. "We just want to talk and find a peaceful resolution."

There was a moment of silence, and then the voice spoke again. "You expect us to believe that? You've already killed many of our members."

Rico took a deep breath and spoke firmly. "We had no choice. Your organization was causing harm to innocent people. We had to stop you."

The voice growled in response. "You will pay for your actions. Prepare to meet your end."

The squad braced themselves for an attack, but nothing happened. It was almost as if the voice had disappeared into thin air.

"Keep your guard up," Rico warned. "We don't know what they're planning."

As they continued forward, they came across a slope that led further down into the ground. There were still no signs of any enemies, but the agents couldn't shake off the feeling of being watched.

"Let's proceed forward slowly," Rico said, motioning for everyone to follow him.

With weapons drawn, they made their way down the slope, ready for whatever lay ahead. The air was thick with tension, and each step felt heavier than the last.

As the squad entered deeper into the cave, they could hardly see a thing. The darkness was suffocating and the only thing guiding them was the light from their torches. Suddenly, there was a deafening flash that illuminated the entire cave, blinding them momentarily. As their eyes adjusted, they saw that the cave was much larger than they had anticipated. It was at least 200 meters high and had multiple levels, all of them towering above them ominously.

As the light slowly faded, the agents were confronted with the enemy - a group of at least 20 individuals, all of them looking heartless and filled with a murderous intent. The squad could feel their hearts pounding as they prepared to face off against these ruthless opponents.

I am the Father, the leader of this organization," the enemy leader spoke with a deep, menacing voice. "You have come here to bring an end to us, but you underestimate our power. You see, we are not just an organization, we are a family. And like any family, we will protect each other at all costs."

The Father's eyes glinted with a cruel intelligence as he surveyed the agents before him. "But you have courage, I'll give you that. Most people would have fled at the mere mention of our name. 

Despite his emaciated appearance, Father exuded an air of menace and malevolence that made him seem larger than life. His pallid complexion lent an almost ethereal quality to his presence, while his thin, sinewy frame suggested a lethal kind of strength that belied his physical frailty.

Father steps forward and begins to speak with a deep and commanding voice, his words echoing off the walls of the cavern.

"My brothers and sisters, we are not the true terrorists here. The Beast organisation is the real evil in this world. They have committed heinous crimes against humanity, and it is our duty to stop them.

They have brainwashed the masses into believing that they are the protectors of society, when in reality, they are the ones who are causing destruction and chaos. They manipulate and control people for their own selfish gains.

We, on the other hand, are fighting for a just cause. We want to bring about a better world, one that is free from oppression and tyranny. And we will stop at nothing to achieve our goal.

So I say to you, my brothers and sisters, let us show the world the true face of the Beast organisation. Let us fight with all our might, and let us emerge victorious. For we are the true heroes of this world, and we will not rest until justice has been served."

Father's words ring out through the cavern, and his followers cheer in agreement. Their determination and resolve evident in their eyes, as they prepare to fight for their cause.

With a fierce growl, Rico transformed into his beast form and launched himself at the Father, ready for battle. The Father, however, was quick and agile, dodging Rico's attack with ease. In response, he conjured a magical power and sent Rico flying into the cave walls with a bone-shattering impact.

Fiona's eyes widened in horror as she recognized the source of the father's magical powers. "He's a Ferra," she exclaimed, her voice shaking with fear. "What's he doing all the way out here?"

Rico, still recovering from being thrown against the cave wall, rose to his feet and snarled at the father. "Leave him to me," he growled. "You guys take on the others."

Taizen, Mionara, and the rest of the agents charged forward to engage the enemy, their weapons at the ready. The clash of steel on steel filled the cavern as the two sides battled for supremacy.

As Taizen charged towards the enemies, he was surrounded by a group of four. They were all wielding swords and were ready to strike. Taizen was quick to dodge their attacks and counter with his own swift strikes. He spun around and kicked one of the enemies, knocking him to the ground. However, Taizen was soon caught off guard by another enemy who managed to land a hit on his shoulder, causing him to wince in pain.

The twins were working together, using their speed and synchronization to take out the enemies. They moved in unison, attacking from different angles and confusing their opponents.

As the battle raged on, one of the agents, Sara found herself surrounded by three enemies who seemed to be toying with her. She fought valiantly, but her attackers were too strong and too numerous. Despite her desperate pleas for help, the other agents were too occupied with their own opponents to come to her aid.

Sara could feel her strength waning as the enemies closed in on her, taunting her with their twisted grins. They seemed to take pleasure in her struggle, as if her pain and suffering were mere entertainment to them. But she refused to give up, knowing that her fellow agents were counting on her to hold her ground.

However, her efforts proved to be in vain, as one of the enemies landed a fatal blow with their weapon, causing Sara to collapse to the ground. The others quickly followed suit, mercilessly hacking away at her lifeless body until there was nothing left but a mutilated and unrecognizable corpse.

The rest of the agents watched in horror and disbelief as their comrade was brutally murdered before their eyes. It was a stark reminder that they were not invincible, and that the enemies they faced were not to be underestimated. The air was thick with the stench of death and blood, as the battle continued to rage on, each side determined to emerge victorious no matter the cost.
