Chapter 33
Kristie and her team waved to everyone as they step one stage, the team cheering her on.
Meanwhile...
Barron looked over the stadium, finally it was time to strike.
Barron: You all, go to the stadiums and attack...this one is mine.
Barron wickedly smiled as he flew to the stadium. He finally landed on the field where he was meet with a load shriek, covering his ears in pain. He looked up at see Freefall on the roof of the stadium, glaring at him.
Barron: Heh, like the final boss of a video game...the Rusher of both sides has come.
Freefall sighed as he flew down and landed a few feet from Barron.
Freefall: Barron...just give up. You know in the end even if the plan succeeds your going to loss.
Barron: So, what if that does happen. I have all the time in the world to kill you all and create a world where my views are respected.
Kristie: I will rise in resistance
Sing the oath of rebellion
And cease-fire on this high wire
Head to toe in vanity
When those eyes in the mirror stare back at me
I'm reminded that the ghost of pride is clear to see
Barron and Freefall stood their ground. Freefall could feel his fellow Rusherz fight the army for the remaining Megacores...and if he was going to go down he would not give up.
Kristie: Wipe away the weakness
Will you let those scars define you?
Or will they adorn you as we carve our way to victory?
Doubt is crying out but I refuse to let it drown me
Wearing down my fight till nothing's left
He would go down fighting. He screamed!
Kristie voice: I SAY CRIER
Freefall and Barron clashed their hands, pushing eachother back.
I SAY LIAR
Freefall tackled Barron to the sky, preventing him from taking out his weapons.
I SAY RISE IN HELL
Barron responded to him by swinging him away from him and back in the air.
I stand gazing down at death as they say... WAR
Freefall quickly flew up as Barron sent arrows after arrows at Freefall as he charged at him.
I'LL WAGE WAR
I HATE WAR
Freefall manage to dodge them as he sent a Screech at Barron stunning him.
They say fight for peace... but what is that?
Barron stopped himself from falling in mid air.
Barron: You got guts facing me alone...your much more of a threat than the Dolphin.
Freefall: DON'T YOU DARE BRING HIM INTO THIS!
Kristie: Raise a shield to the bullets
Hold my ground, all I got now
But I'm defensless, all but helpless if it gives beneath my feet
I turn from the mirror - that desperate plea
I refuse and can't believe those eyes belong to me
Freefall pinned Barron to the wall after tackling him.
Freefall: I swear to the core and muses if you even try what you did to Sonar again-
Barron: And what will you do?
Freefall screeched in his face.
Kristie: Come on, one more breath
My ravaged voice betrays me mid-shout
Will you never hear those final words I failed to choke out
I tried to survive by putting all my faith in instinct
But now I regret - what have I done?
Barron ears rang as the screech rumbled in his face. Barron knew he had to do something so with a scream of response he kicked Freefall away.
Kristie voice: I SAY CRIER
Barron charged at Freefall sword and shield in hand.
I SAY LIAR
He smacks Freefall with his shield as he stuns him a bit before Freefall wiped the blood from his nose.
I SAY RISE IN HELL
Freefall kicks Barron in response, actually making a scuff mark on the armor.
I am just about to BURST as they say... WAR
With that both sent punches and kicks at one another, anger flowing through them as strategy left them both
I'LL WAGE WAR
I HATE WAR
There's no end to this... can't you see that?
Kristie: A cowardly facade weaves into my voice
As I call for war, blinded by this far-fetched noble cause
Although I had a choice, I believed the lies
But it's all a dream, ending when I open up my eyes
After a while, both Barron and Freefall landed on the ground panting. Barron's armor had scuff marks and even a few small dents in it. Freefall had bruises and cuts on him, his nosebleed running down his face. Freefall sighed, he could feel the remaining Megacores being taken from the others. He had hoped that his friends were alright. He had one more ace up his sleeve though...if Barron was going to achieve this plan he wasn't going to take the entire country down with him.
Kristie: Come on, one more breath
My ravaged voice betrays me mid-shout
Will you never hear those final words I failed to choke out?
Tried to survive by putting all my faith in instinct
But now I regret - What have I done?
Freefall raised his head to the air and screeched, LOAD. The screech vibrated across the land, Barron covering his ears.
The owners heard Freefall screech. They nodded, giving Lgt. Taylor the nodded.
Lgt. Matt Taylor: *In wacky tacky* Alright everyone! Get everyone underneath the stadiums ASAP!
Kristie voice: I SAY CRIER
I SAY LIAR
I SAY RISE IN HELL
Barron threw Freefall to the ground, preventing him from stopping his Freefall descent to the ground.
I stand gazing down at death as they say... WAR
I'LL WAGE WAR
I HATE WAR
Freefall closed his eyes as he felt the impact of the earth and a wave of pain going through him.
They say fight for peace... Does it exist?
My hand, can you reach it?
Freefall slowly opened his eyes halfway.
My cry, can you hear it?
He saw Barron holding the Megacore in his hands laughing.
Can you, can you tell me, if this "dream" was worth it?
Freefall: W-Was it worth it...B-Barron.
My hand, can you reach it?
Barron turned to Freefall, who was crumpled on the ground.
My cry, can you hear it?
He took off his helmet, showing his face after so long.
Can you, can you help me?
Barron: YES.
Wake me from this nightmare
And with that Freefall fell into darkness. Barron laughed wildly to the sky.
Barron: YOU SEE ENDGAME! THIS, IS HOW YOU BEAT THE GUARDIANS AND RUSHERZ!
Barron flew off, leaving Freefall on the ground.
Freefall slowly regain consciousness, seeing Liberty over him and himself back at the HOK. Freefall teared up.
Freefall: He won...
Liberty brought him into a hug
Liberty: The real question is...how long shall he relish in his victory?
Barron placed the last Megacore in place, both Nega and Mega core reacting violently. Barron opened the sky ceiling above and with himself in the middle, he sent a wave of energy full of madness into the air...and the sky turned a dark blood red.
The final battle begins...
To Be Continued...
