Hey, everybody. I had to delete Reign of Emperor Nighlock because when I posted the first chapter, just like with the next chapter of my other story, it came out as random gibberish.
Everything was in ruin. All of Major Mansion was destroyed. The school, the yards, the lower facilities. There was nothing left. Nothing except fires and dead bodies everywhere. Students, mercenaries, Lockdown, Malfunction, and all of Code Red.
All except one.
Nighlock stood over his dead teammates. His hands were bloodied with the blood of many of the mercenaries. But in his right hand was the dead body of his wife's greatest enemy - Aquaria, a mutant with power over water itself. She was bruised, had a few broken bones and blood was coming out of her broken nose.
"Look around you, Arisa," he told her. "Look at everything you took from me."
"Please, you have to understand," Aquaria begged. "We were hired to do this."
"Who hired you?" Nighlock demanded.
"I can't tell you that," Aqauria replied.
""If you tell me, I'll spare your life and the lives of your siblings," Nighlock told her.
At hearing that he had just threatened her younger siblings lives, Aquaria gave in.
"Galloway," Aquaria said. "He said you should've finished him off when you had the chance."
"He used you," Nighlock replied. "To him, Lockdown and the other mercenaries-"
"Lockdown's a bounty hunter," Aquaria reminded him.
"And Galloway used you all," Nighlock ignored her. "To him, you, Lockdown, and the mercenaries were just tools for him. Nothing more. Nothing less. He promised you payment, didn't he?"
"I need that money for my family's farm," Aquaria replied. "The mayor wants to tear it down to make a shopping mall. Can you believe that?!"
"Galloway would never pay you," Nighlock said, knowing how Galloway thought. "He hates mutants, and he would see to it that they were destroyed. In truth, he doesn't care about your farm."
Arisa looked down in sadness. She had been hired to kill her arch nemesis for no reason at all. She, Lockdown, and the mercenaries were just tools to Galloway, a means to an end.
"When you see him, tell him he should've paid up front when he had the chance," Aquaria said.
Anthony nodded, put on his armor and flew off. Arisa put her hands in the air as the cops showed up to arrest her.
We cut to Chamberlain Police Department, where the cops are completely shocked at what has happened.
In the interrogation room, Carrie is interrogating the man responsible for the incident. Theodore Galloway.
"Here's how this works, Galloway," White Angel told him. "I'm gonna ask you questions, and you're gonna answer honestly or else I'll be forced to use - horrible methods."
"You can do everything you want, bitch," Galloway defiantly stated. "I won't break."
Carrie, not believing it for a second and knowing how Galloway ticked, took out one of her knives and stabbed him in the hand. Galloway screamed in pain. Meanwhile, behind the interrogation window.
"Hey, George, you think most of her fighting technique is based off of how her bitch mother abused her?" one of the guards asked.
"Most likely," Jerry replied.
"Let's get started, shall we?" White Angel said.
Meanwhile, outside the town, Nighlock was heading towards the police station and closing in fast.
"Sir, we have incoming," N.I.G.H, the armor's AI, told him.
Anthony looked behind him and saw other surviving member of Code Red, Air Strike, flying after him.
"Anthony, stop!" the doctor called out.
"No time!" Nighlock called back.
William flew in front of his friend. He held out his hands, begging his friend.
"Please, I understand how you feel," he said. "They were my friends too. But I beg of you, don't do something you'll regret for the rest of your life."
"My only regret is that I didn't do it earlier," Nighlock replied.
He then shut off his friend, and caused him to land safely on a building. Anthony flew off, continuing his path towards the station.
Back at the interrogation.
"What did you do it for?" Carrie demanded. "I wanna know what your stupid reason was this time?"
"'Stupid reason'?" Galloway demanded.
She took his glasses off of his face and smashed them against his head.
"Wow, you hit a guy with glasses," Galloway said, actually impressed. "Well played."
Carrie slammed his head down on the table.
"What… was... your... reason?" she demanded.
"You really think I'm gonna let freaks like the kid take my place?" Galloway demanded. "I was the best agent of the GMR before they replaced me with him."
Carrie massaged her forehead as if she had a headache. This was Galloway's stupidest reason possible.
"They wouldn't have had to replace you if you for once would just have followed the orders you were given and stop putting your fellow agents in danger," she said to him.
Having heard enough, Anthony finally burst in. Neither could see his face, but both knew what his intentions were.
"Step away from him," Nighlock demanded in a whisper both were able to hear.
"Calm down, Anthony," White Angel told him. "I have this."
Anthony ignored her. He tossed the table to the side and grabbed Galloway by the collar and slammed him against the interrogation window.
"You think you can take everything away from me?!" demanded Nighlock. "And get away with it?!"
"You think you're so smart, boy?!" Galloway demanded. "That you know how the world works?!"
"I know damn how the world works!" Nighlock said.
Anthony threw him against the wall on the other side, breaking the table. Galloway got up hastily, trying to keep away from the mutant warrior.
"I was the top number agent!" Galloway said pathetically. "You were just a stupid kid!"
He grabbed the chair sat down in it. Nighlock made it very clear that he wasn't done yet.
"And I'm gonna destroy every last mutant to make it very clear!" he said. "Mutants should not be allowed work in the government!"
Without so much as a warning, Nighlock reached out to Galloway's head and snapped it. He flew off, allowing Galloway's body to slump to the floor, dead.
