Chapter 7
He shielded his face as the power beam shots ricocheted off him. He smashed through the glass, sending shards flying in all directions. He landed hard, and rolled a few times before getting back on his feet. He scanned the room, and found he had landed in the main lobby of the building. He was instantly surrounded by soldiers. He activated on icon labeled "Shock coil", and was ready to see what it could do.
When he pulled the trigger, a bolt of lightning shot out, and appeared to suck the soul out of the unlucky soldier standing in front of him. He fell to the ground, and appeared to have passed out. The rest of the soldiers hesitated, and looked ready to bolt. Finally, one of the soldiers returned fire, and Tensirus ducked, the power beam shot hitting another soldier. He destroyed three soldiers with the shock coil, and the rest of the men scrambled away.
He headed through a huge hallway, and into a door with a highly decorated label saying "Mayor". When he entered, he saw the most horrible sight he had ever seen. There, sitting in the chair, was the lifeless body of the mayor; a gunshot wound in the chest. As if it wasn't before, this proved the GF weren't just here for criminals.
"In the mayor's office! Sylux is in the mayor's office," came the voice of a soldier. Sylux? Who is Sylux, thought Tensirus. The door smashed open, and five soldiers stormed the office. When they entered, they didn't see anything. That is when Sylux dropped from the ceiling, crushing two soldiers beneath him. "Fire," screamed the soldiers. The remaining three shot rapidly, and Tensirus had had enough. He was tired of all the gunfire, and would put an end to this invasion. He switched to power beam, and dispatched of the soldiers with a single shot to the chest.
He couldn't control his rage anymore. How dare they invade is home! What gave them the right? He was experiencing a feeling he had never had before. He was…he was bloodthirsty.
He ran out of the room, and darted down the halls. He exited the building, and saw an all out war in front of him. The Cylans had gathered an army, but were still horribly outnumbered. He joined the battle, attacking any soldiers in sight. They rolled in one of the huge tanks, and began annihilating the Cylan army. Tensirus sprinted toward the tank, hoping to get there before the whole army was gone.
The tank aimed in his direction, and fired. It was about to hit him when everything froze. Three figures appeared before him, and appeared to be peaceful. The beings looked very skeletal, and had many spiky protrusions sticking out everywhere. The whole face was what appeared to be a fiery orb.
"The ultimate power lies in the Alimbic Cluster," the three said in unison. When they spoke, he heard them perfectly; but no mouth was moving. Tensirus was stunned. Who were these beings? And how had time itself frozen?
"Wh..who are you? What is the ultimate power," asked Tensirus. He stood there, gazing at the three. He expected an answer immediately, and when he didn't get one, he became angry.
"Tell me who you are! What is this ultimate power," he yelled. The three just stood there, not looking like they were going to offer any information. That was it, Tensirus was through with these fools.
"Why am I wasting my breath? Why would I need it anyway," Tensirus said angrily. He started walking away, ready to join the battle again.
"With this power, you would be able to save your home," said the three. Tensirus turned around, but the three were gone.
