I do not claim CC but I claim my characters. Vladamir, Maraxus and Su Ling
Thank you to Guardian54 for the first review. Oleg is dead but Maraxus was merely giving an example for how things would work. But thank you for noticing.
Chapter 2
(SECRET LABORATORY/ SAHARA DESERT)
"You called" Maraxus grinned as he entered the room.
An eerie red glow filled the room.
"Yes" the voice answered, "I need your assistance."
Maraxus stepped into the glow, "What do you need?" he asked calmly, "Whatever it is I can get it."
"I need Yuriko Omega" the voice spoke.
Maraxus raised an eyebrow, "Figures, the child possesses incredibly powerful psychic abilities. What do you need her for?"
"What you have just said my comrade" the voice spoke thoughtfully, "I need her to assist me in restoring my own abilities. After the time distortion and my imprisonment I have lost most of my abilities."
Maraxus stepped closer to the source of the red glow. A large glass tank filled with who knows what stood in the centre of the room. Suspended inside the tank was a brain. The brain of Yuri.
"Then we must restore you my friend" Maraxus' eyes stared at the brain, "Without you we shall have no Psychic Dominators. Once they are constructed the world shall belong to us."
"Indeed" the brain communicated telepathically to him now he was close enough. "But first I need that girl. Can you do this for me?"
"Consider it done" Maraxus bowed his head slightly before turning to leave.
"Wait a moment"
Maraxus turned back to the glass tank.
"I have a gift for you. It's on the computer"
Maraxus walked over to the computer console and switched on the screen. His face lit up.
"Thank you very much" he grinned, "I'm sure the other Commanders will join me once they see what I've got under my command."
"Be sure the Allies do not find where the designs came from"
Maraxus nodded as he downloaded the schematics, "Rest assured they will not." After placing the disk carefully in his jacket he walked to the door. "Get some rest Yuri; we need your brain to avoid damage."
After leaving the lab the red glow slowly faded as Yuri fell into an induced sleep.
(ROME)
"Commander our men are reporting several great beasts tearing through our tanks. Like monsters!" a frantic Conscript reported to Commander Moskvin.
"What are you babbling about?" Moskvin turned to a monitor, "Someone out there answer me."
The screen flickered on and he glimpsed a squad of Tesla troopers being thrown around like rag dolls. Their heavy armour was protecting them but as he watched a group of what looked like tank sized men with arms the width of an average man appeared. They tore the armour off the Tesla troopers and crushed the pilot inside. One of the monstrosities lifted a Hammer Tank and hurtled it into a Stingray.
"Run for it!" the remaining troops abandoned their vehicles and resorted to running as fast as they could away from the mindless animals.
"Tell them to hold their ground" Moskvin demanded. "What the hell are those things?"
"Sir" a squad of Conscripts approached, "The, things, are heading this way. Our tanks are being torn apart and the Bears are smaller than them, as a result we are losing ground fast."
Moskvin gritted his teeth as he walked over to a Bullfrog transport. He did not like having to retreat at all.
"Sir" one of the escort guards pointed.
The rest of the squad were changing. They grew taller and broader, their arms expanded to three times the original size and their skin turned a dull stone grey.
"Smash it all" one of them droned.
The group dropped their guns and instead they used their massive fists to smash holes in buildings and tanks alike. One sprinted across the ground faster than Moskvin could have believed and shoulder tackled the Bullfrog. It split in two as the Brute charged through it.
The sounds of approaching helicopters shook Moskvin from his daze. Four Twinblades flew over and unleashed a stream of bullets at the creatures. The bullets tore through several of the Brutes and one of the helicopters landed beside Moskvin.
"Sir we have to evacuate now" the pilot called.
Moskvin scrambled in and the helicopter took off.
"Smash" one of the Brutes pointed at the helicopters.
The dozen super humans picked up anything they could. Bodies, rubble, tanks and even each other were flung at the Twinblades.
Moskvin looked out of the window to see a Sickle about to crash into his Twinblade.
"SHIT!" he screamed just before the helicopter went up in an explosion.
The Brutes stared around, looking for something else to smash when a high pitched whistle drew their attention.
"Well done" a man wearing a blue uniform walked over to them, "Well done you mindless Brutes"
"Smash?" one of the Brutes scratched his head.
"No smashing" the man answered, "You serve me and only me. Understand? I am your master."
"Ma…mast…master?" one of the Brutes asked.
Maraxus rolled his eyes and pressed a button on his belt, activating a psychic device Yuri had designed to control the Brutes. The Brutes held their heads as their free will vanished and they bowed submissively to the much smaller and considerably weaker being.
"Now, come with me" Maraxus walked away and like obedient pets the Brutes followed willingly.
Several Chinooks landed nearby and the Brutes boarded them. The pilots had strict orders not to look at what the cargo was so when they were fully loaded they took off.
"Take us to these co-ordinates" Maraxus ordered.
(TOKYO)
Commander Su Ling received a call from Soviet Commander Vladimir.
"Can I help you?" she asked politely.
"The Allied dog Maraxus just killed Moskvin!" he bellowed over the phone.
"Okay," she held the phone away from her ear, "And what did you expect? He was fighting him, how did he win?"
"One of our scouts reported seeing giant men with incredible strength lifting our tanks and throwing them." Vladimir was really worked up.
"Okay, so why did you call me?" Su continued in her calm manner, but still held the phone away in case he started yelling.
"I want you to find out what he is doing. Contact him and arrange a meeting. I think he likes you, hint that you may team with him and use that to try and get what he's up to."
"And why should I?" Su asked loftily.
"Because something is wrong." Vladimir muttered, "He tries to form an alliance with us, along with the warning if we say no. The next thing he appears with super human soldiers that kill off a Soviet Commander. If you can get close to him then we can find out what he is up to, and for a bonus you'll be safe from him while he believes you are on his side."
Su Ling thought for a moment, "I'll see what I can do. But this is between us only. Understand?"
"Da comrade" he hung up.
(SECRET LABORATORY)
"And that goes over there" Maraxus directed the Brutes with new equipment. "Super human strength makes moving heavy components very easy."
"Enjoying yourself?" Yuri asked amusingly.
"Very much so" Maraxus grinned. "The Genetic Mutator on Soviet troops was a resounding success. So we now have obedient slaves to guard you as well as keep this place running. All under our control."
"And I am sure that those other Commanders will try and infiltrate. Be on your guard my friend."
"Just hope its Vladimir" Maraxus rubbed his hands together, "I would hate to have to kill Su."
"Ah, so you have a fondness for the female?"
"No" Maraxus quickly denied, "I just do not want to kill a lady. Her looks, concentration, and impressive record have nothing to do with it."
"You know I can read your thoughts comrade?"
Maraxus smirked at the glass tank, "But I know you would respect my privacy."
"Indeed" Yuri admitted.
"Master" one of the Brutes grumbled, "The defences are in place and working. The jamming equipment is set up as well."
"Excellent" Maraxus nodded. His phone started to ring, "Hello?" he answered.
"We need to talk" Su's voice rang out, "Meet me in at the Eifel Tower tomorrow at noon." She hung up.
" Be careful" Yuri warned, "She may be wanting to join us, but if she is a spy then you must kill her, or bend her to your will."
"As you wish" Maraxus left the room.
So Yuri is the mysterious figure behind Maraxus. A Genetic Mutator and Brutes, haven't seen those since Red Alert 2. Please review, anonymous reviews are accepted.
