Even Platyborg gets his own chapter now :D
I can't believe I've made him so evil, must've been all those Tom Clancy stories. Teehee!
Platyborg's POV
I followed the fugitives through time and space, as per my master's orders. I was determined not to let them get away because they left me with some unfinished business. The search brought us to this world, where people are capable of controlling the elements. No matter, I thought, for my army can overwhelm their forces with ease.
We tailed the fugitives again, all the way from the frozen tundra, to the ship, and ultimately to this large metropolis. Compared to the Tri-State Area, it looked totally backward and ancient. It would be easy pickings for us.
According to their conversations, they would be spending the night in that island across the bay. I waited for them to leave before I sent my army to infiltrate the city, then I made my way to the said island. Using my superior disguise capabilities, I managed to hide within plain sight for hours, yet remained inconspicuous. It was already night when they arrived on the island. Finally, my plan was falling into place.
As the lights went off one by one, I placed small but potent charges on their doors. After a few minutes, I had placed charges on all of the rooms on the island. All but one room.
I did a stakeout across the said room, which was particularly noisy at this time of the night. I tried to identify the source of the noise, which, apparently, was a bunch of young girls playing some game I have never heard of before. The charade of theirs lasted for hours, which I agonizingly endured. After what I thought was an eternity, someone came to their room and told them to go to sleep. I mentally thanked the person, and made me feel bad that I had to send them all to their untimely doom, but loyalty to my master comes before anything else, so I brushed that thought off my mind and I did the last step of my plan. After I placed the last charges, I checked the time. Five minutes before midnight. Perfect. I radioed my soldiers to get ready.
I pulled out a remote from my pocket and I flew out of the island. Without any more hesitation, I pressed the button. The sight before me was nothing short of magnificent.
