Zilvex's POV
Crunching numbers, calculating probabilities, predicting outcomes, and deducing all kinds of factors, Zilvex was fabricating the final touches on his master plan. Soon, he would be ready to start preparations.
Hacking into security systems across the nation, he found the ideal locations to commence his three-phase plan.
Phase one was separating Silvex and Shadex. For this part, he would need to have the brothers suspect two locations. There was a good chance they'd split up to check these two places. He already had two cities close to Adventure bay chosen - Coastal City, and Lunar Peak.
Lunar peak was a cold snow-ridden town high up on the mountains, past Jake's Mountain. It was rare for the snow to completely melt there, and the city was well known for it high-tech research center. Zilvex would stage a simple break-in there, aiming to purposely be caught on camera. Since the head of the institute knew Ryder closely, this info would surely get relayed to the PAW Patrol. Zilvex would then use the tracking chip on Rocky to see if Silvex and Shadex catch on the info there.
Coastal City was a huge metropolis, only trumped in size by Los Angeles. As such, it was not a surprise there were many, many cameras all over the city, both traffic and security wise. Zilvex would use his hacking skills to gain access to every camera database in the huge city, and edit them, to all display a clear image of him at timed intervals so it would seem he was heading in the opposite direction of Adventure Bay. If this went well, the news would spread like wildfire, and since Coastal City is known for its dark alleyways and crime rate, Zilvex was sure Shadex would come here, using that factor to blend in.
Cue in phase two, capturing and trapping Shadex.
There was an abandoned warehouse close to the dockside of the city that had thick walls. The inside was completely empty so Zilvex could build an energy cell in there to hold Shadex in. Normally, Zilvex could create an energy cube prison that could last an hour, but if he could build a machine that mainly focused on the task for him, he could get it to last three times longer, as well as use the city's energy grid to power it discretely.
Three hours would be more than enough time he would need to commence the final phase of his plan
Kill Silvex.
With Shadex trapped, and unable to contact his brother thanks to the density of the energy prison, Silvex would be alone and vulnerable. The cube was designed to hold Hellhounds, something Shadex was no match for, so he would have no way of breaking free from the energy prison. Silvex would be at Lunar Peak, so a quick flight over there, and then confront him with the battle plan. Wear him out, and strike at the right moments. When he's at his weakest point, deliver the final blow, finishing him off, and in turn, making Shadex fade away from existence.
Perfect. Time to prepare.
Flying into the scrap yard at Adventure Bay, Zilvex, cloaked and flying low to the ground, began scavenging the parts he would need. Since he could literally change metals and minerals into what he needed, anything would do to make the parts of the prison he would need. As he searched, he opens his link to Rocky's track to check on him.
"Go long Wocky!"
It appeared Rocky was playing catch with Zuma. After monitoring him for a while longer, Zilvex stopped to continue his scavenging.
Halfway through though, he could hear two engines approaching the scrapyard. Hacking into the database of the traffic cameras, he could see it was Ryder and Chase. He perks his ears up…
"...so Mr. Porter asked us to go see what was in the scrapyard. It could be that Android thing that attacked the stadium."
Damn! He was spotted! Zilvex silently scowled at himself to uncloaking too soon. No matter though, Ryder and Chase would never find him, he had tons of data on their every aspect of their lives in his memory banks, so he was ready to throw them off the trail.
Leaving the materials he had gathered so far in a pile that would not make them seem out of place, he sprayed them, himself, and the surrounding area in the scent of cats. Then he cloaked, just as Ryder and Chase pulled into the Scrapyard. He quietly made his way over to a spot out of sight.
"Okay, Chase! See if you can sniff him out!" Ryder's voice rang out.
"Chase is on the case!" Came the reply. Zilvex turned on his silent mode, making all of his internal systems run at their quietest settings to make him less noticeable.
It was a minute later that Chase began sneezing.
"Are you okay Chase?" Ryder called hearing his Shepherd break into a sneezing fit.
"I'm Achoo! Fine Ryder… Just… Just… ACHOO! Sneezing… I think I smell… Ca-Ca-Caaaachoo!" Chase rubbed his nose after that last sneeze. "Cats." He finished.
"Guess it wasn't the android after all, probably Humdinger up to his old tricks with the kitty katastrophy crew. Keep looking for any trace of them Chase!"
An hour later, the two gave up and resorted to go bug the Mayor of foggy bottom about it. As soon as their engines could no longer be heard, Zilvex uncloaked, and immediately resumed Scavenging. He didn't want to spend another moment here, knowing that the PAW Patrol could be on to him.
It took him only a half hour to get the last of the things he needed. Perfect, the only thing he needed that wasn't here as a plutonium drive which would supply most of the power to the energy prison. If it relied completely on the power grid of Coastal City, it would cause a blackout and the officials would then track the outage to the warehouse, and then things could get ugly from there. The only Plutonium drive nearby, was ironically, at Lunar Peak's research facility, Which meant the 'break-in' would have more than an attention gaining purpose.
Cloaking with everything he had gathered teleported to his hideout, he leaves the scrapyard, making sure he was absolutely unseen as he left.
"He'll love it!"
Zilvex came to an immediate halt right over Mr. Porter's store hearing a voice that could only be identified as
Silvex Knyght.
Locking his vision onto the store, he watches a blonde teen with a red-haired girl exit the store's front doors.
… No, this wasn't the Silvex he was after, this one looked like an alternate version. He watched the two get into what he assumed was the red-haired girl's personal limo (Hard to miss it since it was SO PINK!), and drive off to the Lookout. He made a mental note to check on Rocky's tracker to see if he could find out more about this Alternative Silvex as he resumed his journey back to his hideout.
Putting the final energy circuit and fuse into place, Zilvex stepped back to analyze his work.
A cube frame, with machinery surrounded at the bottom and attached to a small terminus, and a large cable input on the other side, it was ready. Now he had to get it to the warehouse…
Taking off from his hideout after checking if the coast was clear, Zilvex zoomed off to Coastal City while cloaked, the journey taking only ten minutes thanks to his fusion-powered jets. He arrives at the dockside and lands on the roof of the warehouse he was going to set up in. Making sure the nearby cameras began 'experiencing technical issues', he began to work on the setup.
First, he opens a large spatial portal and carries through it the energy prison and sets it up in the middle of the warehouse's main floor.
Next, after closing the spatial portal, he began removing several of the ceiling panels so he can create a sight easy enough for Shadex to spot him. It would be like a Venus fly trap using its sweet scent to attract its prey.
Lastly, he hooks up the energy Prison to the main outlet in the warehouse, and repairing the fuses in the breaker box and overriding the power blocks set on it, the Energy prison, in a very slow manner as to not attract unwanted attention, began charging up. Checking the terminus of the prison, Zilvex could see at this rate, it would take five years to completely charge it to full power. Now all he needed was the plutonium drive from the Lunar Peak Research facility. The break-in would commence tomorrow. Until then, he set three sensors around the warehouse, so he would be alerted if anyone entered or drew near.
He took his leave, cloaking once again, and ending his static field on the nearby cameras so it was like he was never there.
Arriving back at his hideout, he switches into low-power mode, sitting on the floor, and leaning his back against the wall. He immediately opens his tracker on Rocky.
All the pups, plus Ryder, Alternative Silvex, and the red-haired girl, whom he found out was called Pedz and sister of Ryder, were all watching a scary movie at the moment.
Listening in to their conversations, he gathers a little more data. His cover-up at the scrap yard worked, Ryder saying he was suspicious Humdinger was snooping around there since he didn't answer to the boy's demands earlier that evening. Alternative SIlvex was a celebrity, known for his techno music and remixes, Pedz also a celeb for being a rock star of random and wild sorts. Her taste in color was something disturbing to Zilvex. She was way too interested in pink.
Deciding that was enough, Zilvex stopped monitoring the group. He opened his communications module.
[No new messages]
This was the fifth-day Zilvex was without any form of contact from the Chaos Insurgency, which was concerning. After he completed his goal of eliminating SIlvex and Shadex, he'd need new directives, otherwise, he would have no purpose.
[Project Z.I.L.V.E.X to Chaos Insurgency, do you read?]
...
[Repeat; Project Z.I.L.V.E.X to Chaos Insurgency, Do you read?]
...
...
[Project Z.I.L.V.E.X to Commander Dusk, do you read?]
...
Still, no reply came after waiting for an hour.
The Chaos Insurgency made one mistake thanks to the early invasion of the ShadowHawk Corporation. They had failed to give Zilvex a proper means of getting and sending any information to and from the Chaos Insurgency aside from a simple text message system. So Zilvex had no idea the Chaos Insurgency was completely wiped out, no one able to respond or even receive his messages, and ironically, Zilvex wasn't able to know that his sent messages weren't being received.
Concluding that he would report immediately back to the Chaos Insurgency's base after completing his mission, Zilvex went into hibernation mode, where he was using as little energy as possible, while also remaining alert enough to know if someone was close to him.
It would only be less than twenty-four hours before operation Fall from Grace would commence…
Shout out to Decker (AKA Leader of the League of Writer's account), for allowing Silvex to be a part of his 'Rise of Decker' and 'The Return of Chaos' stories. I cannot express how much it means to me, thank you so much for allowing my OC to be a part of a great series. As for the rest of you, please respect him and treat him nicely. He is not a machine and cannot write chapters as fast as others can because of his personal life.
