Chapter 28
Crimson Omen
At the top of Azura was the massive weapon. A Gear weapon that has been worked on since the beginning of the Locust War. A last solution to stop this. Yet resources over the years had been collected in order to finish its round gold platform of Azura held it in place. The area was clear of any Locust or Gear soldiers. The skies were filled of large smokes, explosions went off far below at the beach and Azura's lower floors. Sunlight was lowering little by little. Wind moved slowly as clouds caused shadows across all of Azura.
The last scientist was thrown into the ground as she bled from her right leg. Gritting her teeth and gripping her pain she slowly crawled. Starring into the eyes of her attacker was Myrah slowly walking towards her. Molly struggled to move as she felt death was near. Myrah smiled at her and looked up seeing the machine that she heard the rumors about all these years.
"This is what…Fenix and the rest were working on" said Myrah
"All these years…what a waste" said Myrah
A sudden bing came alive from the elevator 20 feet behind Myrah. Looking back she saw gun fire pass by her. Running away towards the ledge she jumped. Echo rushed out, Sarah grabbed ahold of Molly as she helped her up. Mary covered them, Sarah looked forward.
"I'll get her inside take care of Myrah "said Sarah
Bronx looked around seeing nothing then a loud scream came from they're right. A massive Locust beast a "Royal Beetle" flew with Myrah on its back. Echo aimed they're weapons.
"Michael Fade….Bronx Fade. …The last of the Fade's" said Myrah
"You may have killed my Generals. …But now I will kill all that you have brought to Azura!"yelled Myrah
"We won't let you!"yelled Mary
"Hahaha…why do you think over the years we killed your leaders, targeted your elite army, your elite Gears" said Myrah
"Onyx guards, Prescott, Fenix….all that was done was to bring you down to this, to extinction!"yelled Myrah
"Killed the Fade's because of their involvements and motives….I saw to end your brother's life Ray Fade" said Myrah
"You bitch!"yelled Bronx
"Even your mother, Madeline Harrison Fade " Mother Onyx" " said Myrah
The machine began to activate slowly as Myrah flew towards fired their weapons head on. Fade ran forward along with Bronx moving towards the machine they fired at the glowing pieces behind its open wings. Mary grabbed ahold of a hammer of dawn weapon. Mary took aim trying to get a solid signal pointed towards Myrah and her beetle. Fade, Jack and Bronx headed towards it firing their weapons. A long thin red line beeped pointing at the back of the beetle as Mary targeted them. Myrah looked back, a massive red burning beam of power struck her and her beast. The beetle screamed as it was being burned alive. Moving away wildly from the laser Mary tried to follow. Myrah gasped for air as she felt the incredible sense of death. Angered she made her beast charge again.
"ALL OOF HUMANITY WILL DIE!"yelled Myrah
Fade looked at her, saying nothing besides holding his trigger finger ready. Bronx switched his lancer to his boomshot and took aim. The Beetle's back released small mini bugs with bombs attached as they exploded in their path. Myrah flew by them and slammed into the massive protective glass. Rapidly pounding away into the glass as it cracked. Fade tossed a grenade into its open spots as it closed. The beetle screamed and fell onto the ground. Myrah pulled on its back making it move. Mary pointed at it again as the laser hit them. The beetle flew away up into the sky as its golden armor cracked. Myrah coughed in pain. Her armor was burned along with parts of her face. Bronx fired his boomshot into its wings as it screamed more.
The machine's engines sounded off as it began to charge. The electricity raged through the entire outside. Myrah screamed aloud in anger as she sent her beast once more flying into mouth bit into the top of the antenna. Boomshot ammo exploded beside its teeth. Myrah held onto the beetle even if it was at an angle. Myrah pulled herself up gripping tightly. Mary pointed once more and the laser struck into the beetle as it gripped onto the turning gears with its armored legs. Sarah looked at the top of the machine from inside as it charged Molly turned knobs and adjusted the mechanisms to work. Molly planted the new data that they had worked over the years on. Sarah looked at the screen as she noticed the planet "SERA" with Imulsion everywhere and remembered what Fade said before.
"Imulsion?.."said Sarah
"Yes we target that and all that are infected with Imulsion will die" said Molly
The Magnetic waves flowed through the locust and targeted the Imulsion in their blood. Within matter of minutes all of Sera. The entire planet was being cleansed by this machine. Locust screamed and fell dead their body's showed massive signs of veins everywhere throughout their blood vessels showed. Jace lowered his lancer and raised his left and Olive cheered as all the rest did as well.
Molly pulled the switch down ward and the machine activated. Magnetic waves of light glowing blue moved through Echo. Instantly affected the Locust within the entire island of 's beetle screamed flying away. Myrah yelled as she felt the machine's affects flowing through her body. The beetle flew up Echo looked at it as it then began to fall off the roof. Myrah fell off as well but onto the steel ground, her mouth bled out blood. Coughing she gritted opening her eyes she could see the boots of a Gear. Looking up she could see Fade and Bronx.
"You….Homosapiens…."said Myrah
Fade looked down at her and walked away as Bronx followed. Jack looked down the edge seeing the dead beetle in the ocean shore. Myrah died instantly as her heart began to slowly stop, her blood couldn't continue any longer. The light in her eyes faded away into darkness. Jack looked at the machine as it kept going and going without stopping. Bronx couldn't believe it the machine was saved, Molly looked back. Hoffman and Bernie walked slowly towards Fade as Hoffman shook his hand and gave him a hug.
"God damn it kid you did it!" yelled Hoffman
"Thanks Colonel, we all did "said Fade
Fade walked towards the sunlight at the edge of the Azura roof. Looking out towards the horizon. Fade held his white crimson omen Lancer in his right hand. Looking down at it he placed it on his back. Sarah walked out of the machine's room. Walking slowly towards Fade she tapped his back. Looking back at her she smiled at him. Both looked forward at the glowing sunset.
"It's finished…I can't believe it we have a tomorrow" said Sarah
"…Finished..."said Fade as he grabbed his Onyx guard Helmet and slowly took it off
The compressed air hissed as he did, taking in a fresh breath of the ocean side Fade looked forward holding his helmet in his left hand. Sarah smiled looking into his scared face.
"There's a friendly face that I've missed for a while now" said Sarah
Fade smiled towards her and held her hand.
"We got a new day ahead of us Sarah…if you'd still…."said Fade looking into her eyes
"Yeah I have Michael…I have been waiting on you to say that for a while" said Sarah smiling
Bronx and Mary hugged as they watched from a distance both Sarah and Michael having a moment.
"Oh just kiss her Fade! It's not that difficult!" laughed Mary
Fade looked at them as Jack made a thumbs up. Fade smiled looking down both kissed holding each other close.
