Chapter 25 – Make Your Choice
It had been less than an hour since the match between Scorpion and Razer. All Chaos.Inc pilots were now in their VIP room looking glum. Scorpion sitting in a chair with his head in his hands, Omega standing by the wall with his arms folded, Tyrant still hadn't moved from the window. Chaos sitting on the chairs with Dusk sitting next to him. Luna standing by Tyrant watching him as if expecting him to say something. The room had been deadly quiet since they had all arrived.
Several more minutes pass before the silence is broken by the door opening, with Kaos and Anubis entering looking around the room at the pilots. Kaos says after seeing the state of the pilots
"you lot are pathetic. You see one guy who is a good pilot and you all get depressed."
Tyrant doesn't turn from the window but says "you knew didn't you?"
Anubis adjusts his tie before saying "of course we knew, but it is no reason for been depressed like this."
Tyrant this time turns around and practically shouts "WHY THE HELL DIDN'T YOU TELL US THAT RAZER WAS A HUMAN PLUS"
Kaos unfazed by the shouting says "because it shouldn't matter."
Scorpion makes a grunting sound as Chaos says "you may think that but this is not your day, human plus pilots are rare these days unlike during the corporation wars. When one turns up normal pilots like us have no chance against them."
Dusk looking confused asks "what is a human plus?"
Tyrant turns back towards the window and says "before Mars was colonised a war raged here on earth, you know that. But what is not known by many is that during the war a break through in science was made. It was a method of increasing a pilot's skill and abilities. It didn't work so well on earth at the time but the experiments went to Mars when it was colonised. During the Corporation Wars, the disorder incident and the war against Leos Klien, the human plus projected advance a hell of a lot. During the wars it was believed that more than 200 pilots were transformed into Human plus pilots. Even the great hero of those wars himself was a human plus."
Tyrant turns around and faces all in the room before continuing
"you may think that the human plus is a good thing from the fact it super powers a pilot but the truth is that it is not a good thing. It is experiments on humans to turn them into the perfect killing machines. They never achieved it and the closest they got was making people go insane. From what I have heard about the experiments is that they would inject stimulants into the blood stream to enhance reflexes, intelligence, and many other traits. But this is where the problem came in, not all people could handle these increase in traits and eventually those who couldn't would die, not quickly but slowly and painfully. There was also the case that some pilots were experimented on against there will. But most disturbing of all is that there was rumour that on both Earth and Mars scientists were trying to find a way of infusing the DNA, more specifically the genes that affect the attributes required for been a pilot, into unborn embryos. The DNA that was injected into these embryo's was said to taken from the best pilots there was. If that stage of human plus research had been complete then they would have been able to breed an army of unbeatable pilots."
Omega scowling says "so how do you know that Razer is a human plus?"
Kaos sighs and says "he knows Razer is a human plus because he knows the signs."
Tyrant nods "yeah, I thought he might be when I first saw him. but I didn't have any evidence back then but now I have found a lot more information on him and the human plus program it is not difficult to figure out that he is."
Tyrant looks at Chaos before continuing "When I first saw Chaos pilot I assumed he was one as well. I never told anyone but I kept watch. Now comparing him to a true human plus I can see that Chaos is nothing compared. Chaos is highly talented there is no doubt there but there, but he is not a human plus."
Kaos says after listening to Tyrants speech "all that information about the Human Plus program was correct but you missed something out. The human plus program was shut down after the war was over. There is no way anyone can now become a human plus without using the black market and there is also no cure for those who have been transformed. But there is also a major downside to been a human plus that was never documented, there is no record of anyone living for more than 10 year after been tranformed."
Kaos takes a deep breath and turns to his son before saying "the choice is now down to you Chaos. You can walk away from the final and not face Razer or you can face him and be beaten as easy if not easier than Scorpion was."
Chaos looks at his father and says "what do you mean 'be beaten as easy as Scorpion' do you think I am going to lose?"
Kaos looks away and says "yes I do think you are going to be beaten. Scorpion is a fine pilot with a lot more experience than you. Scorpion at the start of that match gave Razer a good challenge. That challenge fully activated the Human plus in him. he is going to be atleast 10 times more powerful than he was today during the final. I wouldn't be surprised if the fight only lasted 30 seconds."
Chaos growls with anger before saying "I don't care about his abilities, nothing is going to stop me from winning the finals. I will beat him and I will walk away with the knowledge knowing that I beat the best there is. Besides nothing can beat Hell Storm, it is just to powerful."
Tyrant speaks up saying "I designed Flaming Scorpion to be double the power of Hell Storm and Scorpion couldn't even stand up to him once Razer got serious. You can't win this tournament."
Chaos smiles slightly and says "then it is my job to prove you all wrong and perform the impossible"
Scorpion looks up and says "I will help you Chaos. Power alone will not be enough to stand against him, you are going to have to walk in there with a world class strategy to stand against him."
Tyrant shakes his head before saying trying to hold back his laughter "I guess that mean I best get to repairing the wing units on hell storm. Or one step better work on making them a lot stronger than they already are."
Omega smirks and says "if the others are helping then I guess I will as well. You are going to need someone to train against."
The 4 guys stare at each before they start laughing and Chaos shouts out "FOR VICTORY" followed by the other 3 cheering as if Chaos had just one the tournament.
Kaos whispers to Anubis "so what do you think?"
Anubis shakes his head and whispers "they are totally crazy, but then again so were we at there age."
Kaos smiles "yeah, every pilot at there ages believe they can do anything."
Chaos and the other guys stop cheering before saying almost at the same time "lets get started"
End of Chapter
