You might not see me around here for while. Why? Because I'm patiently awaiting the delivery of my very own copy Kingdom Hearts II! And seeing how once I start a videogame I don't stop until a finish it, I will be gone for a week or so. Just thought I'd let you guys know.
Another note, this chapter will be the first of any of my stories that will have anything major to do with aliens. That's right. Those little, green, Mexican, a cappella singing, midgets who were hated across the universe so now they want to destroy it. No, wait, that's something else. I mean those little green men in giant glass plates.
Chapter III: Mr. Null and Mr. Void
"So Gamma X is flawed?" A scientist spoke up, looking at the armor on the table.
"Yes, it is thinking on it own, something must be out of place." Another said.
"Okay then, is it disabled?" He asked.
"Yes, it needs a host, specifically that child."
"I see… let's start then." As the men started to try and disassemble the armor, it began to glow. "Huh?" Gamma X then got up and readied its bazooka and fired. It then broke through the wall and found Zack sleeping. The armor's crystal shattered and four large black tentacles grabbed the boy. He screamed as he woke up to find the armor absorbing him.
"Ah!" He screamed. It was soon silent as the armor fully absorbed the child.
"Hey!" A guard yelled. He began to fire at it, but the bullets bounced off. He screamed as Zack, now Gamma X, grabbed him and threw him into a corner. As he began to get up, a small gun appeared on Gamma X's chest and fired several bullets at the man, killing him.
"There is no escape… the end of the world has come!" Gamma X said, running through a wall of the government complex.
… … … … …
"Warning: Gamma X has escaped! I repeat: Gamma X has escaped! All personal isolate this threat immediately!" Everyone in the facility from guards to lieutenant generals came rushing out with the most powerful weapons they could find. Gamma X soon found himself surrounded in a large storage room, full of tons of old aircraft and weapons, with a bit of alien technology. Live wires were scattered across the floor and there were a few old steel cans of water, which had been rusted shut. There were no lights in the room, the only light was provided by the moon, which could be seen through a large whole in the upper half of the left wall and ceiling.
"Surrender Gamma X, you're surrounded!" A soldier said. There was a rumble and Halloween walked in with the old Gamma super-armor, which may be his only hope to stopping his creation.
"I must say, Gamma X, you have put up a good fight, and you truly are intelligent, but it ends here. I must not let anymore gossip of military weapons gone berserk spread through the media."
"You forget, general, New York City is one of the largest cities on earth, and at this time they are the news media capital of the planet. News will spread whether you like it or not."
"This I know. That is why New York City will be permanently silenced after your destruction."
"You speak as if you can destroy me in that hunk of junk you call my prototype! If this is true, you are sadly mistaken, general." Gamma X dashed towards its prototype and fired its bazooka at it, sending it flying into a wall. Hundreds of tiny guns began firing as Gamma X circled around the military officers, killing them all. "This is the great power that created me? You weak fools rely too much on your stolen Martian technology and aircraft. That's how you created me, isn't it?" Halloween slowly got up and spoke.
"You know too much. If word gets out…"
"You humans truly are pathetic. If I do not bring your destruction upon you all, you yourselves will end up bringing it. You hide what is most important from those who could help you, swallowed up in your own pride, to far gone to care." Gamma X then warped out of the old base, leaving Halloween with the lifeless bodies of his fallen comrades.
… … … … …
Dan and Jake blasted Gamma X simultaneously as he attacked NYC. "Fools. You should know by now that my barrier is unbreakable! Stand back, and watch as I bring my great judgment upon this inferior race!" Gamma X kicked Dan into a building and blasted Jake deep into the ground and flew into the air. "Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!"
"Simulation ended. Congratulations, you have scored an… F - 0."
"Dang it!" Dan yelled as he hit his fist against the wall. "We can't even beat a simulation." He sighed and walked out of the room and grabbed his can of soda from a table. "We've taken down inter-dimensional demons,"
"Sirus Dragonheart," Jake added.
"And the Huntsmaster." Dan finished. "But we can't break a worthless armor?"
"There's more to him then that." Jake said. "I just hope he isn't composed of what I think he is."
"What do you mean?" Dan asked.
"Meta-fiber. It's an alien substance that coats any type of metal or steel and makes it nearly unbreakable. Few things can destroy it. Two things can destroy it: The impact of something very large going fast, such as a planet the size of Jupiter made of the same substance, or a crash from somewhere incredibly high up. It is the strongest substance in our universe."
"Alien?"
"Roswell. The Roswell crash was nothing more then a meteor, but what was inside the meteor was what fascinated the government. Inside was the first meta-fiber discovered by man, which was protecting an alien computer chip. If what I'm thinking is correct, then the government used that chip, and that Meta fiber on the Gamma and Gamma X super-armors. That's what makes them so special."
"How do you know all this?"
"I worked in the government for a year or so in a mission of mine. That's when I first heard of your enemy, he was just being promoted to a Colonel by the time a joined. No aliens exist today, though. They brought an end to themselves."
"Gamma X…"
"Gamma was an alien god. Or so they called him. After he died the alien civilization tried to bring him back to life. They were successful but the reincarnation brought an end to them. Our government is just repeating the mistakes of another civilization. Those who don't study their history are doomed to repeat it, Dan."
"Exactly. But if I know Halloween, he did this purposely. He has a great mind… if only he would use it for the right things."
"Guys!" Hannah ran into the hall with a frightened expression on her face. "You'll never believe it… Sirus is back!"
"What!" Dan and Jake asked simultaneously.
"Exactly! He's attacking Washington D.C. as we speak!"
"Lets go!"
… … … … …
Halloween tore through the burning remnants of cars and buildings and appeared behind his son, anger on his face. "Are you trying to get the president to kick me out of the military? What in the world are you thinking?"
"I'm sorry… father. But adjusting my memory? Now don't you think that's a bit to low?"
"So you were faking it."
"Yes. Don't you get it? I am destined to rule this world. Gamma X and your forces are just mere obstacles that I can easily manipulate and eliminate."
"You truly are a mastermind, Sirus. I'm sorry, son, but I'm afraid you won't live to see the next day!" The general wrapped a meta-fiber coated whip around Sirus and kicked him into a burning piece of rubble.
"Very nice. But you forget…" Flaming chunks of metal rose to the air. "I am a master of telekinesis!"
"Ah!" Sirus' father dodged each piece of rubble and sent one back at him, but was surprised when Sirus caught it.
"Nice try, father." At that moment, the three dragons came flying to the scene. "Dragons. We meet at last." The three were confused. "Alas, I ran out of clones. That Chaos was one nasty creature, killing me like that. Oh well. Father over here was stupid enough to revive me. This is the first time we've ever met face to face." This Sirus was different from the others. Instead of grayish silver, it was snow white and he had gold eyes, instead of red like many other forms. He wore a black cloak with a medallion of the star Alpha Centauri on it. Underneath the cloak was a black bodysuit with a white stripe that started at the neck then spilt like a Y onto the arms, and was continued with another stripe that came out of it, which also split like a Y and ended at his black boots. His hands were covered with black gloves and he wore brass knuckles.
"So you are the true Sirus." Jake said.
"Yes. And I have learned well. Father here has been storing much data on your fighting techniques that I had full access to. I would have watched my two favorite clones, Seymour and Skullex, fight you, but I've been running from Chaos for such a long time. Congratulations. You have just helped me in my quest for universal domination!" Jake dashed toward Sirus and attempted to claw him, but he simply stepped out of Jake's way. Dan and Hannah attacked simultaneously with two elements: Fire and Ice. Sirus froze the elemental projectiles in mid air and sent them back to their creators. "From what father's data suggests, you should at least be a tiny bit of a threat. I guess he was wrong."
"I'll be taking my leave now…" Halloween said as he disappeared in a red beam of light.
"Coward." Dan said. He lunged his claw into Sirus, who caught it and twisted his wrist before sending a blast of air into Dan's abdomen, sending him flying into Hannah. Jake dove towards their foe from the air, but was pushed back by a blast of air.
"I am a master of the seven elements: Storm, Fire, Ice, Earth, Darkness, Light, Sky and Void. Anything you can throw at me I can easily parry."
"Parry this!" Dan punched Sirus' face, twisting his opponent's head backwards. Sirus twisted it back in place and left Dan puzzled. Dan didn't have long to grasp the situation however, for he was sent high into the air by a pillar of earth. The large pillar then sprouted two more, which were sent into the abdomens of Jake and Hannah.
"This is just too easy."
"Think so?" Sirus turned to see a dragon that was not in his father's files, Kaelyn.
"Another American dragon? That was unexpected, but it is no threat to me. Die, mortal!" A swirl of Flames and Earth were headed straight for the fourth dragon, whom parried it by flying into the air. Sirus rose to the air as well.
"You're in my element now, Sirus."
"So you have heard of me. No matter, I can take you down, just as I did with the others!"
"We'll see about that!" Kaelyn flew head first into Sirus' abdomen with incredible speed, catching him off guard and sending him back a few feet.
"Good move…" Sirus grabbed Kaelyn's head and pushed her downward, into the ground. "Good, but not perfect."
"I don't believe it…" Kaelyn said. A blast of dark magic then knocked her cold.
"I think I'll spare them for now. They make GREAT entertainment!" Sirus laughed and disappeared in a black void.
End Chapter
Seven. Pages. Long. I really got to stop righting for a while, I'm getting blisters on my fingers! Oh, and about those elements, Storm can also be called Wind, because that's what it is. And as for Sky and Void, Sky I really don't know, I just felt like adding it. Void, however, represents a power few obtain. It can only be called upon by a creature of pure evil. A.k.a. my cat. Or Sirus. And the chapter title, well, Gamma X would be Mr. Null, so take a wild guess on Mr. Void. Till next time.
