One Week Later
--
Lt. Robin lowered his binoculars.
"Constrictoro's Fleet!" He shouted.
They shouldn't be here. Hollow had been sent to track the pace of the army.
He watched, as many members prepared to let in their new 'army'.
He strolled to the other side of the Great Wall, to gaze at them.
Commander York had wished to use an ancient source of protection, and add it with technology to create a modern, unstoppable fort.
It was so unlike York's strategies, not that Rob had known him personally for long.
He now glared down at what was even more unlike York. The man was going insane.
Scratch that. The man had gone insane.
He now looked at his 'army'.
As though the goblin-armored men hadn't been enough of a danger, he now looked at the once-men who he doubted even knew what was being done to them.
They were the creatures like that of the monster that had stalked not too long ago.
The Lizard, as he had been called. Just the Lizard.
Thousands of them now approached Robin's side of the wall. The wall now to protect the other half of Asia from being taken-over.
Constrictoro ruled all of Europe, and was conquering Africa–or had already done so, since the fleet was here.
Where was York? He was supposed to be here soon with his stronger fleet of even-more powerful lizards. The ones which looked more like iguanas to him.
York said the animals were like pack-animals, and wouldn't arm each-other if they were together. But what about people?
And all of them had been kept in Lizard form threw their technology.
Others and soon Robin, too, cleared the way from the top of the wall, so that the lizards would get by without harming them.
Now Constrictoro's fleet approached.
Creatures, like that of the symbiote form seen before, appeared. Only they were of green crystal; but they still moved, with their fangs and mouths open, letting out their shrieks.
They moved almost like a wave, and soon approached the wall.
Robin was now within the wall, as the lizards were at the top of it.
Many members fired at the symbiote soldiers, from within the wall, without success.
The symbiotes began climbing the wall, wishing to get to the real enemies.
The lizards were ready to meet them, raising their claws.
The symbiotes reached the top, leaping at the lizards.
The lizards bit had their heads, with their wide jaws.
The symbiotes clawed, and tried to tear at any inch of the lizards.
Soon, many burst threw the walls, and were now in the place the humans were taking shelter in.
The lizards pranced, and attacked, but the symbiotes seemed to agile. Taking advantage of the seeming-invincibility, itself, of the lizards.
The symbiotes glided threw the wall, and were on the other side. Crashing into the last fortress they had left.
They began to run, and swash, and attack at the thousands of lizards outside.
They were making good time, simply going past the lizards, as they attacked any they could reach on the way.
The symbiotes did not have to defeat them; only get past them.
One the symbiote's side, something was chasing the remaining symbiotes.
It was York's fleet of special lizards.
The ones which seemed to be able to handle the symbiotes, and even throw them.
A few hundred would be enough in this case.
Then something else green could be seen in the distance.
Constrictoro.
A green cloud of jewels stabbed threw the lizards, cutting them apart.
Then, in the haze, a black figure could be seen.
Hollow. A traitor.
Dmitri should have known spying wasn't the work he liked.
Now he was Contrictoro's employee.
Hollow flew forward, on the green-glider that remained, and had been given to him to track the army. Robin had figured this was what had happened, the moment he saw the fleet approached the wall.
--
Dmitri turned around when approaching the great wall, from the enemies' side.
He knew what had happened.
He leapt forward to greet him, as Hollow was already heading for him.
Dmitri removed his coat; revealing what had been installed in the last week.
Three metal tentacles came from his shoulders.
Constrictoro had reformed himself, and seen Dmitri's additions, and tried to attack him from behind. Though Dmitri's tentacles could see him.
While on the front, Hollow collided, and drew his knife.
Dmitri released his stingers, and parried the knife.
Constrictoro's solid crystal form crackled as it moved, and attacked the tentacles.
The two outer tentacles collided around Constrictoro, trying to keep him from moving, as the middle-one attacked.
Hollow strongly held the stinger from moving, and cut the right off.
Constrictoro crackled, and his left hand became a knife, and cut-off one of the tentacles.
The other two tentacles attempted to lift Constrictoro.
Dmitri quickly parried Hollow's knife with his left stinger.
Constrictoro crackled and his other hand became a second knife.
The tentacles were both cut-off with one swipe of both hands.
CRASH!
The great wall was being smashed open by the other lizards. They had destroyed the smybiotes, when they ran, and they had not counted on the regular kind still having strength; nor had Constrictoro, as he had only attacked the new ones.
Constrictoro saw that his fleet and armies had been defeated, and broke into a cloud of crystal again, attacking the normal lizards, now.
Hollow knocked off Dmitri's second stinger.
Dmitri quickly picked up one of the severed tentacles, and swung the heavy metal at Hollow.
Hollow ducked and swerved, as needed.
Dmitri swung it over Hollow's head, and the tentacle's knife ejected automatically, killing him.
Constrictoro had already finished killing the lizards, and glided back, to kill the human beings, who were now out on the field, by Dmitri.
He saw Robin and the others running, and getting away.
Dmitri quickly ducked, protecting himself with the three tentacles, and Hollow's body.
The green swirling gems went by, stabbing into Dmitri, before leaving.
