In the Kransachesterlaji Mountains where the Komodo Unit medical chief Queen's office was, Mikekolt recovered from his injuries that he gained when fighting through his way to here as now that he can leave his bed at last. He went to work on a few things such as reshaping one of his Revenant's Talon III system weapon forms which is the missile launcher into a box kind of shape that he can get a better grip on, attaching a new four-shot box at the front; sporting a rectangular shaped handle underneath for one handed shoulder mounted firing. Being that he was shirtless throughout the time he looked back at his muscled undersuit, he spared and took no expense in creating a newer version of his secondary layer that can protect his naked exposed upperbody skin from damage when he realized the potential dangers that he can be facing some dangerous and risky results from the battlefield. Not only that he also created an harness for himself to lay it over that so he can be reminded of his previous version, he really did like the black and green color scheme but he didn't want to look too much like Drayko; so to compensate he wore a jacket and here it was below
His new armored muscle suit had horizontal and diagonal ribbed padding that was strapped to the material made from his pants that was covered with the usual seamless diamond pattern textured fabric that was slightly squished, which also had some armored platings that were all integrated into the suit to provide some defense and the chestplate covered the front and back. Taking a combat vest from the Komodo Unit but retaining the clothes as well as second layered jacket from the previous version, there were also three parallel straps on both sides as well as an extra chestplate that went just about around the front to back; also having some red streaks as well from the legs and the chest for some added color. The chest had two trapezoids facing the front three ribbed segmented stomach that then went upwards on all three sides including the front, which had another three just on top of that which were smoother than the last. With tri-laid leather sneaking armor that had more horizontally ribbed biceps to knees just on the leggings, this also had two straps that went diagonally upwards to the beltline with yet an second pair of dual parallel straps that wrapped around the thighs with armored slidings right on the sides for fashion; flattened armored kneepads and bracers appeared on the arms with an additional flattened armored backplate, what was also accommodating to the design was an flattened vest on the front also for fashion. But that was just the first half of the suit as there was a whole lot more to be seen after being given a highly resistant stretchable and dead on defensive overlay suit to be bonded with the entire muscle suit so that the two becomes one. The upper half had a H-shaped pattern of seamless diamonds raised with metallic platings for the muscles to be seen flexing out in the form of two dents for the upperbody to be seen, it's front had a gambeson like shirt with three medium to small lines that goes across the torso as there were two more belt like straps on the upper collarbone. The shoulders had two narrow razor blade like eyes that went upwards from the sides as the front of the arms were black, of course the underarms were green down to the wrists. The lower half on the other hand had a armored green siding on the sides of both the thighs while the front had three ribbed parallel beltstrap lines that went downwards underneath the groin, the bottom of which had three of each tribal barb to spike and spiral patches of seamless diamonds; wrapping around the knee were five grooved paddings and the rest of the foot was green. Around the top edge was also green but was faint as the steel color was darkened alongside the main color itself, but if that wasn't enough there were more patterns to be seen. The midsection had a brace surrounding the left to right frontal thighs before going downward to wrap around the leg, having a green stream following from down below the darkened black color; having an ankle pattern with an black seamless diamond pattern on the sides and green color on the heels. The beltline also had beaked down green eyes like on his cowl with two more on the top, having tribal barb to spike and spiral plating that went towards the lower chest but stopped and then shot forward again; all while having three clawmarks on the bottom of the plating. The upperchest plating was smoothed out with two Sigma (Σ) letters facing the center of the muscles, with it happen to be two tribal and smoky flare like Dragons that resembled his detailed insignia; having the aesthetic that it was smeared with blood but also had the look of being blurred out by the heat waves. Two masked fox tricksters with tails of nine and both wielding the Ninestrike swords in their fangs facing each other, while the camouflage was the same as his battleskirt just so it can drive home the fact that it was based off the San Hjierantruvalo Peninsula. At last there was a chestplate that kept the same design of the mentioned tattoo like armor plating on the suit, and it gave this one some color to make it look more bloodied and scorched as well; the chestplate had bold upperbody pectoral muscles as well as eight inverted trapezoids on both sides that both faced the center, coming with green edged seamless diamond pattern streaks that went up from the hips and the thighs towards the gut muscle. Finally, the rest's covered and protected with an added harness
His harness consisted of two rectangular guards that went around the neck in the middle of both of them while having two duckbill shoulder guards that went outwards and downwards for comfort on the shoulders as the two of them were laid down on the left and right sides of the neckbone collar. There were two straps that went above and near the ends of the guards which went into a kind of solid dual belt hoop to smoothly go through down three times until it stopped. In the middle of it was a half-octagonal shaped pad where a black shield plate was resting up against it, hooked onto place with closed thick hooks in which they looked like the kind of round circle but opened up near the start of what was supposed to be the upper edge diagonal corner of the shape ending with a serrated razor bladed harpoon barb; downward curved edge that then went inwards like a triangle before going up and forming a rounder edged pyramid that kept itself bolted to the shield shaped plate that looked like his tusked shield. Across from the two collarbone paddings were Sidi Flexforce straps that used double pitch roller chains that were horizontally straight and had a 1mm rectangular round edged ring that helped connected it together in the middle. On the three straps on both sides there were widened round triangular rings had allowed the hooks to be closed and connected, also with a belt loop that up and over behind it. From under the armpits there were tri-split straps that went diagonally upward to the shoulder pads where the straps looped around, the same rectangular ring was on the top which was a little thicker this time with a narrow downward pointed bottom for the hook to be attached to and on the bottom was a strap that looped in a down and under form that then closed the hook in the same hoop shape. The front of it kept the same design of his former desert armor that melted in the microwave hallways eight and a half years ago: perforated cushions that slanted diagonally downward from the top to bottom on the sides as well as tri-weaved and tri-layered fabric to give the harness some substance so it doesn't look too hollow. The main front was a chestplate that would look like his new Bravo Armor which of course is without the eye catching features as it's simply a upperbody breastplate that had the upper pectoral muscles shaped like the lenses of his new pair of glasses, exactly as it was shown in front of anyone who looks at him. It was still black but underneath had that green color which is dominant as the secondary color, having black perforated cushioning that soften even the hardest of blows taken against him. The pec muscles also had no nipples because both of the following discrimination followed by warrant arrest orders and exile will follow along with a execution of whoever thought that was a good idea to add unless they shot bullets or lasers but that would've taken him extra weeks. Two more thick straps went down while appearing to be a little bit slanted off to the sides, having a collar that surrounded his throat and curved downward front gap at the front which was widened for free movement but narrow to not be struck by blunt or bladed weaponry. Also on the front was five buckled straps lined upward in a parallel lined structure, with medium raised surrounding pads that covered his sides that is the front all the way to the back behind him completely; using a click buckle for the straps as well as having a trio of horizontal rectangular pouches stacked atop of each other. The back of course also had a rectangle that was perforated in the middle between all four pads, which leads to the main shirt that's used being a comfortable and flexible material with perforated armpits down to the waist on either side. The entire harness was edged with black filling for the cracks and mix between the dark tuscan midnight brown to army and uniform olive to light kelly to lime and amazon to parrot green color for the rest of the cushioning up on the front. Finally, the sheath didn't intervene with the new one built for his sword; flexible enough for him and to be able to fire the trigger that can shoot the blade out into his hand to draw it out faster, as every second counts when fighting the Komodo Unit and it gets even better when a real sheathe for the reconstructed folding and retractable frequency tempered blade is built. Adding onto the previous addition was a series of buckles and tightened fabric strips which are slipped into the actual harness itself, it consisted of tri-weaved fabric rectangular strip of raised seamless diamond jude patterned fabric with five alternate types of buckles that were found all over the utility harness that was met to work with the actual harness itself. On the top to bottom on either side it consisted of the square shape that had a trapezoid on top which had holes on either top side which in return had a vertical solid rectangular bar sprouting out at first before having a horizontal bar which slants upward on the edges, going straight afterwards having a looping bar in between as the both upper edges had two spherical shapes on the corners with a hole in the center of them; connecting to the ends for the sides. The center buckle that went across had short slant edges on a vertical rectangular shape with a slightly smaller plate raised upward a bit near the ends and having a vertical bar in between for looping. The second buckle was a round edged square with a slightly smaller plate raised near the edges and the slit at the bottom went over the looping bar through the buckle itself, found on the upper pectoral muscles as after that followed the third one which was a lower half octagon shape with diagonal downward slants on the corners having a straight top roof and a looping bar in between. The next one went off the sides a bit as it was a wankel shield shaped buckle with a looping bar in between on top of the solid rectangular bar, with the lowest bottom slit having long diagonal upward slants with short walls and a smooth roof. The fifth buckle was a variant of the third which as same as before but with a extra looping bar on top of the one in between, layered above the strip. The sides on the waist had a half-square and half-rectangle which had a looping bar in between, being used for the main belt on the suit. Being connected to his lower thighs which had a vertical buckle with a looping bar in between appearing as a cylinder in the middle and having straight edges with nothing more as this was found slanted forward to both thighs on the front, now it was completed at last and if he's not fighting the Komodo Unit's most dangerous forces then he's taking on the life of a mercenary of deadly fortune by arming himself ammunition pouches; think of it like a paratrooper harness
Mikekolt was a like an author who never thought he was satisficed with what he created as he wanted to add in the RD54 Paratrooper combat gear harness with the leather duty suspender belt combo from what they call Soviet made craftsmanship as it had two top-half sideways octagonal shaped vertical ribbed pads on the lower pectoral muscle's sides, so instead he substituted in having at least a pair of five bombs which he'll be referring to from now on as his grenades attached on the front harness straps which gave him one look that told others in their faces: "Hey brother, that's right I've fought on the frontline before; and I love that smell of scorching hot gasoline on the battlefield" As for his bandana that dangled he redesigned it to be segmented like the square linked belts that dangled in front of him on either side, he's got it overlaid with thicker single plates above the dual square linked segments; which had a number of random tribal swirls and spirals with some Dragonese Rune engravings depicted on the front. Two tail ends on each side rested underneath his shoulders while the other two on the back went down his spine or at least in between his spine, flailing about in the wind as well as allowing him to wear a durag with the also tribalized Dragonese Rune Calligraphunk graffiti, Rime Grimm, Trajan Bold and Old English font which did say something unlike previously and that was: "Killer Queen Bee" along the left side edge as he can pull this upward over his hair like his hood on the back. He went back on using dual holsters for the Revenant's Talon III's separate crossbow design and instead opted to use them for spare ones crossbows so he doesn't have to switch out the formation to use them, thinking that it would suit him much better. He added in the dual drumfed cannons and stick bomb launcher for the war armor for frontline assaults, at the same time he took to redesigning his lightweight beltfed machine gun into something that is a little more like him for example down below
The lightweight heavy beltfed machine gun formation for the Revenant's Talon III had a vertically railed and ribbed handguard taken from the Chinese QBZ-03 and the American SR-47 on the front which would've acted like a pump action handle for intimidation as if he was getting ready to execute them. It had a inverted scalene shaped skeletonized retractable shoulder stock that slid inside the firearm itself, the lower rail based off the RPK-74 and front of the upper half octagonal shaped beltbox found on the bottom was an attachment that was based off the M72 Law and the rare China Lake Grenade Launcher that had the barrel itself get removed from the handle and straightened out fully; combining that is a crossbow lever so he can fire the auto-ejecting and reloading attachment as this was a heavy weapon indeed! The skeletonized shotgun underarm grip was grooved to fit in the hand so there aren't any slipping hand issues with a short downward curved tail that went outward from the back of the handle at the end like his ancestor's Tiburonkolt's carbine rifle, it had the bulky inner body of the FN Minimi Paratrooper which was based off the WWI water cooled machine gun which as of course featured a conical tip that had ten dual mini barrel slots for the look of it which will make twenty in total as the slots were filled with closed barrels stacked atop of each other as well as situated next to each other on the sides. On the sides were small rectangular shaped magazine clips that stuck out downwards from atop of the beltfed box underneath them, the both of them were attached and fitted into place on the diagonal edges of both sides to give it a more bulkier appearance. The trigger guard was a forward Glock 19 G4 guard while the trigger itself was a long multi-scraped down tri-laid bat'leth holed shaped trigger, the top was reinforced and the feeding ramp was polished down to a mirror sheen so it doesn't have internal feeding issues. The lack of a ejection port from the reciever allowed this to be ambidextrous and the low fewer number of apertures meant this will not jam with mud and dirt when used on the field, this was looking more like it was made for the jungle environments. It did have some optional features like a rail stabilizer which was the only necessary one, a mount for the sniper like scope and a laser sight which was the most innovative aid that a man could have if shooting something like this. His jacket given to him by Queen when choosing from her closet was located down below here
The front of this jacket made of dark brown leather with lighter brown edges had three railed ribbed upward slanted pockets on the lower stomach's sides, the wrists also had a same kind of lighter brown edge that went across; the shoulder's starting edges were a little bit slanted away from the left and right side of the shoulders themselves. At least having an rectangular slab that went across to the collar and above the armpit was a line that went across towards the other side as well, the collar having that same line around and two beltflaps that stuck outwards away as if to tighten the outer neck in the winter. Likely to be lamb's wool had lined the jacket inside as well as the cuffs and the lower lined edge around, it's a slim build with some not too tight sleeves with even some metal ringed holed beltstraps on top of the lining itself at the upper waist. The short collar flared out on the left side and slightly on the right, he did find it to be comfortable of course as a line on the upper backplate went across with two borders curving inward on either side. There were three parallel lighter colored stripes on the biceps with a high rising pocket that went upward towards the closed front, the inner collar was also lighter brown edged but of course the outer one was darker with a stud on either side of the middle throat that had an rectangular gap in between. But there was a piece of someone's beard that looked like it had come from an animal called the wolverine, with the in-between of the brown line and lamb wool cuffs it had a thick tall square shaped strap that didn't feel like it was there nor did it wrinkle when moving. Like the rest of his things he had ideas to modify this jacket to be more like himself that he chose it to be, examples being: forward facing trapezoid shaped shoulder guards on the black underlaid shoulderpads that went forward as well with two vertical ribbed straps coming out of the upper shell on top, two upper pectoral plates slanted upwards while going around the neck at the back having studded strips on the edges, three upward facing strips below that, pair of bracers that matched the shoulderguards that went down forwards towards the knuckles and had mostly black and golden bronze lined color scheme with his signature green color thrown in. Underneath the three stripes is a diagonally upward slanted overarching pad which had an trapezoid shaped merlon-embrasure pattern with the edges smooth and the inner pattern being a leathery kind of tire pattern and underneath the bracers which were decorated it had brown rubbery like edges near the tip; while coiling below in front of the biceps was an dual black striped golden bronze colored brace. There was so much to add on here like a tri-coattail on the back if he wanted to make this a trench coat, for now he's keeping it like it is
Looking at himself in the mirror he might not be so Viking-like now but he's his own person so he missed the part it was supposed to matter either way, he thought of himself as looking rather dashing and accepted his imperfections like his scars with specks of dried blood on his face that also stained his beard; he can get that cleaned up in no time. He changed his buckle on the middle of his belt to match that of his shoulder insignia he drew in the dirt when they were chased from the guest house upon his breakout. His old one is now used to replace that spider on the front of his necklace, enlarged a bit so it can be more like a few of the Witcher medallions that the people of the same name wore around their necks and it didn't get in the way of his collarbone or chest
At last he designed his dual sword sheathes to both resemble his lightweight heavy frontline beltfed machine rifle formation for his Revenant's Talon III as the boxes was replaced by an J-shaped AK-74 magazine clip, having a trigger to fire his sword out to draw it out faster but of course the design of the rifle itself was slimmed down to fit in the sheath cover; he had this idea from thinking about combining the two together so he can draw out his blade with a hit of his trigger in the guard that can shoot into his hand. Komodo Unit technology can do every imaginable thing can't it? That doesn't mean it can't replace some of the classic tactics and it's not what they're trying to do, he understood that well. As a bonus he wanted to add for them shinguards bomb dispensers to drop them while he ran from his pursuers so they can slow all of them down, even kill a few while he's on the run should that time come
Among the list of some ideas he had were some new clothes so his Bravo Armor isn't all that he wears, the frontliner armor that he captured for himself to use for the bigger and filthier jobs, a trio of arm blades that came out on both vambracers to slash and stab along with two extra diagonal grenade straps across his chest to coincide with his bandoiler of bullet arrows and at last; a few more features for his gloves like claws that sprout out from his knuckles, and a pair of three-barreled lasers that can cut through areas to clear his surroundings with even the briefest of contact. They slide out from underneath his handplate though he can't use it more than once, it's a one shot weapon so it's more like a final resort he can't focus on what was all around him. The Komodo Elites according to Queen that he has yet to take on were equipped with this, but they're going through with making a improved version so they can continuously use it for clearing out surroundings
He was upstairs while packing up everything into his dufflebag including his weapons, jacket that Queen told him that he can keep as a reminder of the kindness she showed to him along with his design journal which was where he was writing down his ideas. He's gonna head on out of here to regroup with his main squad but not before he had something to eat, taking a sour cream and onion potato chip bar to get his blood pumping along with some last minute pull ups so he can at least get his energy up before he disembarked from Queen's office. She told him about the colonel that was coming here but didn't tell him that Grashunov was also approaching her building in the mountains, or at least inform that he was alive since he had not been seen for three weeks. There was the sudden sound of a radio frequency going off which made him investigate downstairs, peaking through the doors to look around for a kind of disturbance nearby a Komodo Sniper who held a dart rifle shot him in the upper pectoral muscle which made him twitch it; removing the projectile fast he was shot by three more as he fell backwards being caught by Queen who lowered him down
"You'll be alright, it's just to make you safe" She comforted him as the other Komodo Unit soldiers came running into his sight including the three snipers
"Mr. President: we've got him secured, just like you wanted; now let's load him onto the AS532 Cougar and get this man to Paratheon" The Komodo Commander informed the leader as Mikekolt began fading from consciousness, after all that preparing he got taken down so easily. Guess he just needed some calm days to soothe his mind before he would have to fight again as that kept his blood pumping
"I'm not gonna let them hurt you alright? Mikekolt...? Mikekolt...?" Queen's voice faded into echoes while his vision had fully turned to darkness and passed out with the Komodo Commander taking his equipment, wanting to see his contents which their medical chief saw as a violation of the medical privacy's patient confidential and thus did not condone that act
Inside the capsule tank where Mikekolt's body was his hair was spread all around him on top of the pillow, greased in sweat as he was stripped down to his black shorts; arms crossed like a coffin and laid against the vertically ribbed leather cushion that went up and down as it also went upwards along the sides. The pillow used memory foam and buckwheat as it's slanted up against the headboard's border, there was a horizontal bar of a window that could be seen on the top as it's the only thing that the user can see while inside. Heated warmth inside was given as it shuts off all five senses completely, silencing the victim underneath as this did not come without a weighted blanket and another one to go on top that depicts a dark night arctic darkblood river lodge picture with both green eyed wolves and red eyed foxes in a location like this. It was tight and confined enough to lay down on the user's back as the cushions felt like a little more liquid was underneath but that's just compressed air from underneath the unrippable leather
This entire capsule was contained within the bay's storage box carried by a Komodo Transport Chopper with it's cargo filling in for the missing body like the Sikorsky CH-54 Tarhe, having an pair of two side flanking Attack Choppers with it's infantry carrier version behind it far behind in case there was trouble coming this way. All three of them flew across the flat desert dunes among the sands far away from the mountains and all Komodo Pilots kept in contact with the others, no sign of trouble was here to stop them. There was nothing but the stout mountains in between them as the three all flew on through, the desert sun was hot but it's a field day for them Pyrostokers as it felt like an accomplishment. Mikekolt might not have been burnt to death but he was captured, he was finally taken to a far away place where he cannot get out of their sight. Exiting through the canyons they were only just two more miles away and then they can lower him down to the truckbed that was waiting on Grashunov's orders, in the time it took them though; the Komodo Unit decided to reminisce on something back then
After the Titan Uprising, the Komodo Unit left the regions but were still getting sightings due to the villagers who swore to have seen them still around here after supposedly they came to have fled from the Archipelago; no one knew their leader and no one knew what part of the world did they come from. Mikekolt was aware of that fact as since he refused to come back home he instead went to search for any traces that were left behind. Returning to the base at the Snarling Deserts he went to work on laying siege on what was built, but it was a trap that resulted in the total destruction of the anti-Komodo Unit armor that had been melted down. Except it wasn't the Armor of Bludvist, it used iron which explained the increased weight. He succeeded in the end while leaving many of the Komodo Unit bases smoking in ruins, KHAW Tanks were as expected by them destroyed as all of them wanted them gone seeing results of how it performed. But it was the death of their comrades that they wanted him dead, now they have that chance as this day; it was their victory over Mikekolt. If he escapes they ain't worried, they've been growing stronger and deadlier by the hour; their forces will kill him
Once they've come across the base that was the Paratheon facility the transport dropped four of it's cables on the corner for the Komodo Unit soldiers down below to grab onto, it hovered in place just underneath the flatbed as Officers stepped out of the armored bearcat transport vehicles acting as the replaced support for the IWAR Jeeps; all of them along with their Pilots joining in to take the cables when the carrier lowered the storage down onto the flatbed. It's process was slow but their grip was both good and tight to remain steady, touching down on a few inches towards the right side when the Commander told them: "Left port, left port!" The others did as told moving the storage perfectly on the spot. After that it was time to drive on through with a convoy defended by not only the bearcat transports, but also their APCs with the top turret being manned as well. Driving through the ruins of a neighborhood that once blushed with life, bushes, concrete streets and houses; they arrived at the Paratheon facility as the back doors of the ice cream parlor opened from the sides to allow them entry, closing as the last APC stopped to stand guard before entering in case of intruders waiting to follow them inside
The convoy continued driving inside to the end of the wall where the elevator was, workers of the maintance crew waiting when it stopped as the drivers came out from inside the doors to open up the back of their storage. Taking out the capsule which was then wheeled down to the back, looking inside to find their human subject had arrived at last. Queen solemnly shook her head at what they'll do to him as when it comes to Paratheon, the colonel had all but the right to have complete dominating authority to outrank Grashunov at least in his mind; he is still in command of the Komodo Unit because he is their leader. Down the elevator they went as the map showed the complete schematics of the facility, it was made up of four branches and are color coded as well. Green for highest floor entrance and exit, blue for the first floor, yellow is second, orange is third and red is lowest floor which is where he was going. At this moment Grashunov walked by watching them take Mikekolt down to the lowest floor where he will be kept under surveillance. Walking away back to the command bridge, one of the Paratheon workers stood up
"Attention on deck"
"Carry on"
Watching the viewing screens to see that he was down to the lowest floor, now it was time to turn his attention to Queen as he looked down on his medical chief. It seems she's following through with her part in this plan to turn him over to the Komodo Unit, if not then he still has the ICBPSM on his hands. True to his beliefs he put the cluster missile loading on hold while he's busy at this time, if he can't turn him then he'll have to send his forces after him; he just wants to see how much hell he can go through before he eventually escapes. Hearing a call from the second floor requesting him, Grashunov nodded as it seems like one of the colonel who is barely walking thanks to him had fallen and he can't get up
Mikekolt remained in stasis for the rest of the night before waking up in the morning, finding Queen who had been watching him sleep; she wanted to take him to a place that she knew of in her childhood. Agreeing to the idea in exchange for fresh air he went to the location that is the house that she lived in, before leaving to be the medical chief that she is today. He could smell the dust that coated the abandoned structure, see the hanging menus for this parlor of sorts and even got a vision of what Queen used to work for before leaving. That sweet scent of ice cream from the Paratheon facility never left him, he actually felt nauseous and fell to the floor; taking the sliding glass door frame to break his fall. He wanted to go back, Queen was disappointed but obliged to his request; checked his temperature and noticed he's starting to show some symptoms of drug resistant malaria. Was it wise to give him the elixir that had been given the name Project Asclepius?
HTTYD
Walking down the hall to the lower levels she swiped her card but was locked out, the third time she did it immediately called in the Komodo Unit soldiers who escorted her to the office of Grashunov. Seemed like he was terribly angry in a foul mood, the colonel didn't outrank him but he's got news for Queen
"Grashunov, I can't access his containment cell to give him the anti malaria drugs. What is all this?" She asked as he turned to face her
"Paratheon had decided to turn all the study of our threat over to the colonel. I don't set the god damn policy 'round here but I'm still taking orders" Grashunov explained and continued before Queen could even ask the next question, having his back turned as he then walked to the other side. Pounding the desk which under his strength it split into half startling her, he's never been this infuriated before. "Damn the colonel for going around me like this! We have a lot of powerful people that want in on this, lots of money to be made at the mint. But you know the worst part about all of this?" He turned back to face her explaining his frustration at the colonel, taking a seat when he asked her
Queen remained silent but knew what he was talking about, he won't see him again once she is forced to leave
"When I first fought him back at the town, I didn't give him a second thought that he's going to be responsible for killing nearly one fifth of my men. He was just collateral damage, well he isn't anymore is he? As for what you can do, you can go home now. I'd tell you to go and say your goodbyes to our nemesis you sympathize but I've been informed that for now all further and future contact is out of the question" Grashunov sent her off from Paratheon, as he turned his back looking down at the first floor from the office; this was all hard for him to make her leave but everyone wants a piece of his nemesis
Queen boarded the chopper as the pilot flew her back away from the desert regions, over the swampy marsh wetlands afterwards and back to the town that she was supposed to arrive. As for Grashunov, he growled to himself and decided that the colonel needs his rank stripped of along with his command before he kicks his ass back down to captain. Mikekolt was no better either as inside his containment cell he was washing his face, slicking his hair back and softly caressing his wounds from the mountains. There was a toothbrush at the sink but it's sad to say that he "accidently" flushed it down the toilet. Oops. His equipment was at the evidence locker where many of the Komodo Unit soldiers were playing with it, studying with field tests outside where it's their playground and leaving the rest of it untouched. He dried his face off with a towel as he was shirtless, just left in wearing black pants when the sound of stomping was heard outside booming
Footsteps came next approaching the exterior before the door was opened to the side, from there the colonel made himself present as the soldiers warned him with caution about what their subject was capable of even when incarcerated. He didn't have tuberculosis again and Grashunov made sure of that. The colonel on the other hand was the Komodo Officer that's supposed to be dead from his tropical leishmaniasis due to enlarged liver and brittle spleen, those wounds still showed but he was alive and well. Mikekolt growled at his presence when he asked him
"Good morning how you feelin' bud, rations alright in here for you?" The colonel asked
"I know you" Mikekolt snarled
"I'm flattered, now for what I want: see I need your cells to trigger some distress signals. You know, so you can get that blood boiling again and I can carve off a piece of the real you within before it gets analyzed; patented and given to all soldiers with increased results of our serum based on your endurance and willpower to live. You mind?" The colonel explained
"Fuck off, colonel" He refused
"Not too lookin' too well in feeling under the weather to make much of a choice there" The colonel stepped forward with a high voltage stun baton, electrocuting him which sent their subject slamming against the sink with his lower spine; hurting him before he fell to the floor. "Come one, aren't you feelin' angry towards Mr. President? After all you've only got me to play with now that Queen's given up hope on taking care of your major scars, and has now gone back to town" The colonel growled before shocking him again
"You're lying!" He accused him as he tried getting up
"You know for me, this is a win-win situation the fox has gotten himself trapped in. You break out and all these soldiers come in to kill you while I perform the autopsy. You refuse the demands of the colonel..." Once again he electrocuted him with the baton. "I'd mop the floor with you, and perhaps on accident I go too far to break your neck. It's bad science but it's more personally gratifying for me" The colonel threatened and gloated in front of his face, Mikekolt swept him off the floor as he took something and held his hand in a fist formation
The three shocks towards Mikekolt only made him twitch in pain as he continued to hurt him, now Queen would never let him do this to their subject; however given that she orders him a number of stupid ass restrictions with what to do with him he's elected to ignore them. "Come on! Let's see what you've got"
"Never... never again" Mikekolt stood his ground, biding his time when he needed to escape. That response angered the colonel and for that he brought out a heavy kanabo tonfa, using it to smack him across the face hard which made him bleed; taking out a few teeth along with it as blood came down his lips. Although he used a bit of the Project Asclepius serum to regrow his lost teeth, Grashunov should not know what he did to harm him. The 32nd President was watching on the monitor, scowling at the colonel for his actions when he stated this
"You know consciously, you may be in full control. But subconsciously, I bet that's the real story. Get this man into the experimental chamber, I want to jumpstart his brainwaves right now" The colonel ordered, not knowing that he stole his keys when he was punched back
Next thing he knew Mikekolt was taken out of the containment cell to be inserted into the capsule within the experimental chamber, dark room lit by nothing but purple and indigo ultra violet lights with some green to the corners of the large capsule which was vertical of course. Wide and stout but tall and vertical, thick cables connected to either side with the subject slumped downwards; suspended by elastic straps while also being kept underneath some liquid and chunky hot steaming mud to increase the weight. Drown him in it dare he even escape. On his chest were a number of cables that connected to the disc, drills to allow siphoning of his darkblood; inside he no longer wore pants but instead black short shorts that felt tight but were loosened to allow freedom. He was kept unconscious while the capsule itself was slanted forwards to have him face toward the ground, glass is strong enough to not allow him to break through it and he was wearing goggles to help him breath. He was still holding onto the keys that flew out when he swept the colonel off the floor though, not only was there water keeping him suspended in the middle but vents were also there to allow his serum which were actually performance enhancers to enter his bloodstream thanks to the promachloraperazine for the catalyzation
The performance enhancers is supposed to increase strength, speed, evasion which is a fancy term for agility since he's not acrobatic and prefers to remain on the ground for the fact that even under ideal circumstances; acrobatics can be a tiring form of agility to use in combat as well as perform. Endurance, focus, leaping, regeneration and of course durability were all increased by eight hundred percent but resulted in boosting highly violent aggression as a side effect. The Komodo Unit tried it out on a Alpha Speed Stinger that was captured, but it lost it's sanity that so it's guts had to be ripped out to kill it; that's been filtered out but not the violence. What happens is that there's a rush of drowsiness first before power, increase depths of respiration followed along with thickening muscle tissue; the heart races through over a few hundred beats per minute but also results in blubbering, writhing as they're all undergoing a grand mal seizure by violently shaking while their eyes are blank. Blood foams from their mouth while their skin pales before all of that is silenced when the emergency ventilation is hit, but at the heart gives out if not done fast enough. Resuscitation will revive them of course, that's not to say the victim will undergo a moment of aggression beforehand
The colonel jumpstarted the brainwaves in his mind, watching the monitors closely when he stirred in his unconsciousness; twitching from the earlier electrical shocks before. Impatiently he was waiting for something to happen, but he looked like he was undergoing some kind of dream sequence about his deceased half-brother Breyerkolt. In the meantime he was called by Grashunov to explain his earlier behavior, not taking his eyes off him who twitched again with his body moving and his head turning to the side away from the others who watched in the monitors. He brought up his communication box to talk
"Colonel, I want to see in you office right now" Grashunov demanded
"Can't do that Mr. President, I'm undergoing an experiment here; the performance enhancers are coursing through his veins right now without him knowing" The colonel explained
"That aggression surge he's showing is going to cost your life" The President warned him
"You're not in command here, I am"
"Dammit colonel, do not make me take back the elixir that saved you from that brittle spleen because I will-"
"You're not in position to be making any stupid threats to anyone here in Paratheon"
"God dammit, I am the 32nd President of the San Hjierantruvalo Peninsula and this is that man speaking: you will follow my orders" Grashunov's voice activated as the rings traveled through the signal, affecting him as he agreed to him
"Yes, Mr. President; forgive me for... this act of hostility" The colonel told him
"And it better stay that way or I am shutting you down" Grashunov threatened
"Understand, Mr. President" The colonel told him
Ending the communications with him, he returned his attention to the monitors seeing how their subject was doing. He struggled internally with himself before when at that point after a series of cosmic space like visions involving blue, orange and a sea of stars afterimages his eyes snapped open alive and awake. He started to shake around in the capsule as the colonel looked satisified
"Bingo, that must've been some serious jumbo PTSD nightmare right there" The colonel told himself. Mikekolt was beginning to rock his head around in the water, he kicked his legs and moved his arms to no avail. He was however beginning to breathe and heave more erratically as a result of the performance enhancers, or the super soldier serum that he was undergoing before the vapor started to fill his sweat. Although it didn't manifest right away like with his darkblood running in his veins mixed in with Drayko's, it took some time to make itself aware also like when he was beaten half to death hard by Breyerkolt when he couldn't save him at a much earlier time. He decided that now was the time to begin. "Alright do it now, start the darkblood extraction; I need a sample of him now that he's got the restrained aggression in him"
The worker pulled back to begin the drilling process, cutting into his chest that resulted in an painful siphoning of his blood. Although this wasn't working the way he wanted to due to the amount of resistance that Mikekolt was showing, grunting when the drills were piercing right through his skin into his lungs. A number of muffled screamings were heard in his struggle as the woman next to the colonel told him
"Sir, we have a negative on drill penetration"
"Dammit drill him harder, give me full RPMs; come on Holman, come on!"
Mikekolt squirmed around as eventually he broke his restraints on the wrists and ankles, he took the extraction drills and ripped it out of his chest with ink clots of darkblood leaking out into the water. Removing the mask when he stood on the glass window of the capsule, water started to leak out from the upper edges causing a red pulsating alert to go off; jamming the enemy radars while also informing Grashunov of the events that were taking place down in the experimental chamber. Revealing the keys he stole from the colonel who was watching and checked his pockets for them, Mikekolt started to use them as claws to punch against the wood above him as the water was draining out from the leaks. He punched harder the second time which were causing the keys to dent, for the next two times he did nothing happened as the fourth time he did blood was spurting out of his white knuckles. His fist was becoming an bloodier mass, leaking down his entire hand. The next three punches impacted the wooden dent further when he looked at the exit at the side, the water's now halfway gone but with that focus in mind he continued to punch away at the makeshift coffin that he was buried in. Giving it seven more blood spurting punches until he tore away at the wood, now drowning in the liquid chunky mud which overflowed. The colonel was paranoid, he has to have that sample of him right now
"Should I send in the Attack Team to kill him?"
"No, I can't do anything with a dead body; come on!"
The colonel seemed to have forgotten about doing the autopsy in his paranoia of wanting to have a sample of his darkblood. Suddenly, the cables broke apart along with two cap halves on either side when the rest of the water at the side snapped off; spilling out into a cascade mixed in with hot steaming liquid chunky mud that Mikekolt punched through, climbing out and digging himself out of the grave to freedom. He let out his angriest scream due to how much enormous pain he was going through, after that he got rid of the mud on his skin with the water that drenched him; his hair still slicked backwards but not the bangs that remained on his face. He damned Grashunov's name as the colonel who was a little more calm told the one who suggested to kill him
"That's it, put him to sleep"
"Engaging sleeping gas now"
The vents that were installed in case this happened started to fill the room with sleeping gas but he merely clogged his nose with his hand, the Paratheon workers inside were in trouble. Mikekolt just won't give up and allow himself to fall asleep, the water sprinklers in case of a fire even went off which also washed away the hot mud that he was covered in. Slicked in water he was standing his ground against the sleeping gas that was deployed to
"It's not stopping him!" The worker called out
Just then he jumped off the raised platform and ran for the exit, leaping into the air to flying kick down the door that sent it spinning towards the other side of the wall. Now he was free from the chamber, he started to run for the evidence locker where his equipment was; but the colonel knew where he was going and intended to stop him from where he was right then and there. So he ordered this command
"Ready? Send in the containment unit, non-lethals. I repeat: non-lethals only, I need a blood sample from him!" The colonel ordered before going out to the case that contained the drill syringe, having a shoulder stock for steadied hands as he hobbled his way over there. In the meantime above Grashunov was attracted to the monitor that showed him running towards the evidence locker
"Mr. President!"
"Jesus..."
Down below the colonel ordered the containment foam to be deployed as the Komodo Unit soldiers started to come down the opposite side of the hall that he was heading through. The President started contacting the colonel as it seemed he learned absolutely nothing from his demands that he is the one who is in charge here
"Colonel, talk to me" Grashunov ordered
"Everything's under control, Mr. President. I'll let you know when I need you" The colonel denied. Paratheon Security came through consisting of the Komodo Unit soldiers, officers and a heavy gunner wielding an grenade launcher that used twist priming pointed shells to fire. The containment foam came through as they immediately sprayed Mikekolt with it, he was trapped in once again as they expanded around and left him incapable of escaping
"Unacceptable, unseat your asses down there; I want a full blown evacuation of Paratheon. I'm shutting you down!" Grashunov followed through with his earlier threat from before, he ended communications with him but the colonel wasn't going to stop
"Lockdown" He ordered but the worker from before asked him
"Did you not hear what Mr. President said?" The colonel angrily turned around to rephrase his command
"I SAID LOCKDOWN!" He screamed and pointed at him, taking the syringe drill with him as he left the command room of the lower levels. After that he walked down a few miles from the evidence locker, coming down the halls to confront Mikekolt who was still trapped in his containment foam prison. "Clear the way, I need a blood sample!"
"You heard the colonel, clear back!" The Komodo Commander told them, following his orders as the colonel approached their incapacitated subject
"All right take it easy, this is gonna hurt a whole lot and I'll be enjoying every second of it!" The colonel sadistically told him as Mikekolt calmed his body but refused to move when the syringe drill was activated, taking his head that he refused to move which had him try to pry and force him into position so he can take a blood sample from the back of his neck. He was growling, heaving and breathing more sporadically until he grunted and kneed him in the crotch; sending him falling backwards to the ground. Mikekolt learned from his previous experience with the containment foam, therefore he started to rip himself out as it made plastic ripping like sounds of dried stretching rubber; all while the colonel was gritting through it all
Paratheon Security started to clear out as the heavy gunner cleared his weapon on command, holding a specialized rifle in case of events like these which looked like this: This break open grenade launcher was based off a wz.83 Pallad D launcher with trapezoid sides whose flat surfaces faced forward towards each other on the wire stock in the center before it went straight on the top to bottom sides of the attachment port and oval ribbed bar. There was a extended barrel with a railed handguard based off the H&K MP5SD6 submachine rifle, having a round edged square shaped sightmark sight that was attached to the top rail as it had a flattened lower base. The break action broke off downward from the front of handle where it was hinged on both sides, at least a few meters away like a double barrel shotgun as it can be loaded with any grenade launcher ammunition. The shells used were based off from a VOG-17M Grenade shell that had an slanted cone shape, allowing it to have a thinner shape cylinder in the center with a tipped cone on the top; on the bottom was a knob that could be twisted to be activated and will not detonate until after a few seconds upon hitting whatever it strikes, just to clear things up it was identified as a M2 on the printing
"Give me the M2!" The colonel ordered as the heavy gunner threw him the weapon, leaving at the intentions that he was having. "So long vixen, it's time to d-d-d-d, dddddd-die!" He stuttered like the Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters intro before flipping his launcher into it's firing position, firing the M2 but instead hitting the containment foam which due to rubber-like qualities it rebounded off against a pipe as the colonel turned around to see the impact; beeping as his fate sealed resulting in a deadly explosion that engulfed the man. Mikekolt used the dried foam as cover from the fire before he got out
Now's his chance to get to the evidence locker and take back his equipment from the Komodo Unit
HTTYD
"Mr. President, we've lost the colonel" His main worker who was an African woman stated
"About time, lockdown the entire facility immediately!" Grashunov ordered, satisified that he is back in command of Paratheon
The entire facility's doors on all levels closed, locking themselves tight with the monitors all stating that Paratheon has been locked down as ordered. Grashunov saw Mikekolt walk into the darkened hall of where the elevator that was used to take him down was, wearing half of his Bravo Armor that he had to rush through due to the lockdown taking place. A male worker started to talk to him
"Sir, he's still moving towards the first floor" He informed him
"Evacuate the main hall, now!" Grashunov ordered
Back down in the main hall from below the command center, the elevator was sent flying up scaring and frightening the innocent workers as a shirtless slicked back haired Mikekolt came through; climbing out of the pit where he carried his shield in case the Attack Team is called into action. Mikekolt started to head for the exit but Grashunov thought at the last minute
"Send in the heavy weapons, call in the Attack Team down there!" Grashunov ordered
The Komodo Attack Team now using rifles based off his lightweight beltfed heavy machine gun, his ten barreled revolver grenade launcher, his shotgun and his missile launcher as the armored vest wearing shield carrying attack teams came in to form a blockade from below. All of them firing at once forcing Mikekolt to hide against a cart that ran on rails, explosives fired had him bring out his shield to guard against them before he backed up and kicked the rail guided cart towards them. The Komodo Attack Team was forced to scatter away from the incoming rail cart, one however who carried a railgun took aim before firing; hitting him from his shield to send him flying backwards but throwing it against his neck, coming right back to kick him in the neck as his head came falling off revealing it sliced through him
Out of nowhere he was ambushed a Komodo Unit soldier who held it's sword with a steadied grip, slicing at the air while he dodged backward; kicking him in the knee but the soldier only took this time to headbutt him. Now that he was stunned the soldier aimed for his left arm to slash through, bringing it down through as he let out a scream with blood squirting out into a multi-spout of blood that stained the soldier's armor. When he was about to taken down, he took a Deathgripper Acid Flare grenade and shoved it into the helmet's snout hole; kicking it in the lower jaw before jumping and performing a revolving kick to send him flying backward against the pit, blowing up as his sword stabbed the ground. He ran for their fallen Komodo Medic and took the Asclepius elixir, injecting it all into where his left arm was where it began
His bone grew back into an arm before webbings started to wrap all around it, steaming as it's veins to tendons to meat were formed from liquid steaming blood that solidified itself; all in the while he was grunting and gritting. Pounding against the floor when his skin burned itself onto the hamstrings, also evaporating with steam before cooling off as it matched his skin at last although his tattoos took a little more time to reform. Nevertheless he had his left arm back so there's that, no more need for his prosthetic arm thanks to the Asclepius elixir. But then the Komodo Frontliners were coming in, forcing him to think fast but not smart like an barbarian
"Contamination, system readings are redlined; standby for backup power!" Grashunov was looking at the main hall as Mikekolt picked up the rail guided crane hook, and threw it toward the generator that blew out sparks; trapping the Frontliners who were coming this way to deal with him at the sealed doors. He then looked at the monitor to see him now having found out where the command center was. Knowing full well with what he was doing he activated the increased strength for his Bravo Armor that he fully put on at last, taking the elevator disc that he reared back with all murderous intent
"INCOMING!" Grashunov shouted, the elevator disc was thrown at the command center and all workers ducked for cover but some of them were cut half; separated from their waist and left laying down on the floor as screams of pain were heard. The African woman survived as she took the keyboard. "Shut down all power to the main hall" He ordered
"Mr. President?"
"We're taking the fight outside to him"
Doing as told the worker turned off the lights, redirecting the power to the exit as Mikekolt did not hesitate in the slightest to climb his way out of this hellhole. He was on the run now from the Komodo Unit instead of him hunting them down, so once he got outside the entry to the Paratheon facility he was blasted by the intense sunlight all around him due to being cut off from the outside world. Looking around for a split second as he's shirtless again thanks to him deciding it's too dangerous to put on fully put on his equipment while he's chased, he did not wait another moment to run like hell for it
Running for three miles away from the Paratheon facility, he sped down the flat desert lands consisting of various shrubs all around him; greasy and coated in sweat from the heatwave it never came apparent to him that he would have to run this hard. Once he's at a good distance away from the Komodo Unit he started to leap into the air, followed by another one that had him jump higher and a third one that was longer until with full power he activated the vents of his boots to launch himself into the air; flying away without his dragons before he started to land down back at the abandoned neighborhood in front of the old house that Queen told him that she lived in. That leap resulted in brimstone burning soles but it was worth it, after that he decided to sit down so he can wait for the heat as in the pursuing Komodo Unit forces to blow through
Looking at Queen's house though he couldn't help but think back to what happened, it wasn't long ago that he visited this place; it was in the morning in fact. He and Queen were walking, alone with each other. He didn't say a word because he just wanted some fresh air, he went with whatever she told him about; even swung on the swings in what was once her backyard. Entering inside the house he felt like he's been here before but can't place a finger on it
He was told not to dwell on those thoughts of as if this house was familar to him, it didn't do him well to forget how to live in the present. He followed up on her words as he explored all around with what was once a neighborhood that brimmed with life even in the desert, there was no denying one fact and that was when he felt like this place was different to him. This is out of his boundries so to say by all these exposures to modern lifestyles compared to what it was like in the Norse Age lifestyle back in the Archipelago, but he's sure the Knights felt that way too when coming to Whiteburah Isle. Clearly, there's not a day that went by thinking of what they saw
Come to think of it, nostalgia from another point of view came to him but that might just be a different person like Queen for example. While he thought of this to himself he came down to ask his ancestor if he ever experienced this modern like setting that clashed with his own time, like it was at a battle with each other butting heads. Tiburonkolt told him in his mind at least that it felt like a revolution went on back at the land that others thought was a illusion, a land that did not exist in the West. Called it America, at least the north and south continents as it's bridge was called central and that's where the city that his nemesis Cortés had been an govenor of; for all immigrants that were taken prisoner in his siege on the Aztec Empire. Now it's doing well even after his absence, alongside Auditore it's also one of the cities he visited the most because of his mother's blood in him
He let out his call to see if any of his Dragons were close enough to fly him away from here to get back with his squad, he waited for a few minutes for them to call back; nothing else came. He let out a second call to no response several minutes later, he must be too far from them to have them hear him. Looks like he's gotta start trekking but where to exactly? Just then there was something that struck Queen's old house ruins, causing some pieces to crumble to dust which made him cover himself
A silent explosion was heard moments later which allowed it to absorb and siphon all nearby sounds in a form of an delay before finally unleashing a loud, boosted sonic shockwave ring that blasted all ruins of the houses alongside sending Mikekolt flying backwards; thrown a distance as the air was deafened by the vroom sound it let out. It's a eargasm to both him and even the Komodo Unit, surely that would be enough to have them hear the explosion
After being thrown a distance away from the once standing ruins of Queen's old house, struck against a rock that smashed his nose causing blood to gush out into solid bubbles that started to splash onto the sand. He stood on his knees to find that her old house no longer stood, the neighborhood was gone and swept away like the last remnants of the old kingdom belonging to the former King of the Barbaric Tribes in the Archipelago. The Champion of All Who Stands Above Him, that was the title of Hiccup Horrendous Haddock I; the first ruler in the era of the new kingdom as there wasn't much difference between two kingdoms
Bjarkeianth, better as known under the title of the deceased king in his time was the only ruler who although he's a scrawny lad when he was young; he was nothing short of being a benevolent ruler who went under a lot of stress that made him take a risk that costed his life. So he wanted someone of who too is scrawny but like him is intelligent to become a better king than he ever did, and his wish was granted when he came to save his home. The rest of the story is known from here
Queen would be most saddened to find that her home no longer stood here, when he looked toward the west after hearing a sound he found that the Komodo Unit's artillery cannons had fired jericho cluster missiles into the air towards his position; splitting into many as three are shot in a volley using two burst shots. Mikekolt shot two black webs to escape by catapulting himself out of firing range, dodging the missile impacts though he was grazed by a few on his way to the other side of the desert dune mountain in the distance; swinging through old and derelict houses of the neighborhood until he reached his destination. Zipping upwards into the sky before falling, sliding down on the sand that for the life of him he could not stand up right without collapsing due to the unstable shifting sands of this dune. Eventually though in several minutes that went by slowly, he found himself some sunlight and caught his breath; this might be a good time to put his Bravo Armor back on and he did just that
Next, two shells were fired near him and was forced to run toward the east side but tripped a number of mines that caused a sandy explosion with bullets impacting against him; tumbling downward onto the lower dunes that were streaking with blood that poured downward. He looked back up after standing and growled, god dammit the Komodo Unit won't give up! At the distance a mile away there were a squad of tanks coming to his position formed up in a horizontal line, all of them fired in a volley with their cannons and missiles; forcing Mikekolt to take cover in the dunes while the Komodo Pilots and Gunners were blocked by the sandy explosions that covered their enemy. Though he took this chance to use a duo of palm trees strong enough to sway backwards and launch him toward the squad of tanks
"Driver: stop" The Komodo Gunner ordered and repeated himself before finally stopping the tank in it's tracks. Keeping a look out for their escaped subject on the line, he looked up and took the full auto anti-tank rifle along with the others as Mikekolt landed just a short distance away from them. He started to run towards the middle but veered off when gunfire came to stop him in his tracks
"Gunner, traverse right! Traverse right!" One of the drivers told the gunners as Mikekolt slipped a bit on the terrain when rushing toward the tank that had the gunner who shot at him first, the vibrations in the ground rumbled underneath him as he did; equipped with his war armor
One of the Komodo Unit's hailfire tanks fired it's three cannons in a three shot burst, forcing him to divert his course when he shoulder charged into the side of one; kicking it over with a mighty Spartan forward kick. He brought out his sword and sliced off the two side barrels first before taking the middle one, allowing his Bravo Armor to bulk up in order to swing the tank to the other side smashing it like a hammer; spinning it around himself before he released it to send it towards another one of the tanks, blowing up with the two wheels rolling away in a wobbly fashion towards the other sides. He targeted a second one that he used his crossbow for, firing four missiles at time towards one and shooting his shoulder mounted ones toward another; he spun around in a tornado firing his vambracer mounted submachine guns which eventually destroyed them but he's not out of the woods yet
Other tanks took advantage of him as the Komodo Gunners taunted him which worked, as the Castlekroftservkhall took the bait and boosted towards them; allowing them to fire the three cannons at once which blew him off his feet before the driver attempted to run him over but Mikekolt took out his blade to slice through and get in. Cutting down the soldiers inside that took him on, he scattered his Deathgripper Acid Flare grenades inside before jumping out to destroy it. Leaping toward another tank with the gunners blasting him every chance they got, he threw a grenade belt down inside and moved onto the next one; using his missiles to take out that and continued the cycle. Using his ring of missiles that spun out from his vambracers to destroy one that was ready to fire, and slashed through a trio of them couple of times that blew up
This was madness, how many more can he fight before collapsing?! In the heat of battle that was driving him insane he let out his dragon call hopefully this time that he can get help, he needed them more than he knew now. But due to the amount of gunfire drowning it out, he decided not to bother anymore and just continue fighting these squad of tanks. Nevertheless he remained strong, using his missileback to fire at one; scattering stick bombs to another. He fired the drumfed cannons on his back to take out the other. Now there was only a few more left, throwing a Deathgripper Acid Flare grenade into the hatch before leaping onto the head of the tank that he tried to rip off; moving to the side where they can't hit him when all fire is focused on him. Ripping off the head from the covered side, the soldiers within were about to shoot him before he turned it around to cover himself from the three cannons; killing not only the driver and gunner within but also seriously breaking his shoulder when the cannons made impact with his makeshift shield
It wasn't just his shoulder that was broken, his left upperchest was aching under the strain; it should be no wonder that the thrill of the battle can make someone like him not think clearly about his tactics. He stood back up but held his chest when he dragged the head with him, he ain't letting go once he approached the second to last tank. He reared back at first and again, before he slammed the head against it's side; using it as a war hammer of his own before he broke the head off after rupturing the mines inside that blew it up. Now he moved onto the last one before him, jumping on with his boosted aggression as a result of his blood having the performance enhancer vapor in his bloodstream. He moved toward the hatch and stood over, raising it like he's aiming the spearhead towards the driver; letting out a scream when he reared back and impaled his head through with it. The gunner inside is the only survivor, faking his death so he can report to Grashunov about the tank squad; getting up when he saw Mikekolt running far far away as he leapt a couple of times before boosting away
The Komodo Gunner climbed out of the tank and began walking away from what's left of the tanks, leaving them behind when he looked back. Afterwards he contacted the headquarters at the Paratheon facility, reporting directly to Grashunov
"Mr. President, I have some bad news here" The Komodo Gunner told him
"Let's have it then" Grashunov expected it but was interrupted by Lt. Bostonswelter who was also on the line
"I've briefed him about the now super soldier vapor enhanced Arsenal-Fox, I assume that this is about that" Lt. Bostonswelter told him
"It is Lieutenant, requesting a National Command Override over the death of the colonel: our fox is unsecured, he had broken out of the hound and the hunter's trap. I need everything we have to stop his actions" Grashunov ordered
"You're expecting casualties on the innocent people of this peninsula?" Lt. Bostonswelter asked
"Not if I can help it Lieutenant" Grashunov told him firmly
"Already on the move there, Mr. President" The Komodo Gunner told him, switching to communicate with the commander to tell him the news. "Command has fallen back into the President's hands, Commander. Get ready to send in the gunships, let's catch ourselves a fox"
"Consider it done, keep us posted corporal" The Komodo Commander told the gunner whom was revealed to be a corporal
The commander looked up at the cloudy blue undertoned skies of the swampy marshlands he was in with the rest of the Swampmarshers, not much difference from others who were using liquid shooters but they did have openfaced helmets with side skirts and goggles on the front for decoration; along with using hot boiling liquid chunky mud to spray so they can burn their enemies as the wetlands, swamps and dried grass wheatfields would've killed them all if the Pyrostokers were called into action. They're also covered in thick clothing for their armor with many pouches and used long battleskirts to trek through even the most deepest of mud, camouflaged with lots of mixed green to brown colors. Not much to say about this one, and not much to say about the Komodo Coastalbankers either as well; they used a mix of boiling hot fire mixed with sand grains to blind their enemies in the eyes, if not then at least scorch them but most of them they're just simply soldiers meant for beach warfare. Not much difference, but the Aquaticradiers are different and they're their partners for that kind of battle
Mikekolt better enjoy as much of his freedom as he can, it's not gonna be long before they start coming in to knock on his door. As mentioned before, the Komodo Unit becomes even deadlier by the hour and sending in the gunships will prove to be just that for him to fight. Get ready for more action by the hour that comes
