Wolfwood's View
I remain still as the hover chopper goes by over us. Jake looks to me as he's stretched and flattened himself over me like a sheet. The flex armor's prickles up a threads from itself to represent grass. And refracting affect working fast as Jake taps the dial on his arm. With us both invisible I check my mini radar to watch the chopper leave the area. But the damn bastard is doing rounds once more making a pass over us. Jake looks at me nervous as always and his face is kind of funny. I stifle a laugh as he groans at me. "So what was it like?" Jake looks at me confused as always. I peak out from under him to see the chopper heading east.
Getting up slowly he stays wrapped around me as we make progress into enemy territory. Why does Jake's breath smell like vanilla? Jake "What are you talking about dude?" Pressing on I simply sigh. "I mean when you and Finn were younger. You always watching his back when you went out to adventure and stuff. He told me you two would always have adventures played so you wouldn't get bored." Jake "Yeah Finn and I use to get into a whole mess of trouble. Most of it was because of my bad advice at the time." I chuckle "Yeah I remember your kid blowing up at you for being the too cool for being a grandpa. Still can't believe you of all people are a grandfather." Jake "Hey I'm the coolest grandpa there is. So don't you forget it."
I shake my head "I know but its pretty funny to think about it... Jake me and the rest of my side of the family only got to know Finn when he was already past being hyper and fun. You all watch him grow... watch him make mistakes. But it kind of pissed me off at how much heartbreak he had to deal with on his own." Jake "Yeah his journey really made him mature. I kind of only had flings before I stayed with Lady so I was horrible at giving solid dating advice. Before you and Finn came back to life a few years ago. I stopped by to pick up Marcy, Bon, Bella, and Eleanor I was able to talk to the masters. Well not in person but in my mind I heard their voices. It was creepy at first before they told me my favorite phrase Finn used it when he called me. They told me how looking back on ones life you realize how reckless you were. They also told me that being young is just that. Your reckless until you firmly take control and look at yourself. Finn's had twenty plus near death experiences, fought beings that came super close to destroying the world, heck he even burgeoned his way out of losing his youth to a leprechaun whatever that is."
I start to laugh hard having to stop and cover my mouth. I shake my head "He wasn't lying when he told me that story? Ah man Finn's really been through hell and back in his younger days." Jake chuckles "Yeah and you want to know what's funny? When I talked to Finn before meeting with you for this mission. Finn told me if given time to change anything... he'd change nothing. Finn told me that messing with time is stupid. He admitted to wishing no harm could befall his family. But it'd mean being selfish and that would change how the world works. Or some junk like that. But most of all he told me that if he could tell his younger self one sentence. It would be avoid trying so hard and just do what his heart normally does." I nod "So he learned from the Tree..." Jake "Wait what tree what are you talking about now dude? I mean how much crazy junk have you a Finn been doing while you were dead?"
"When we were tasked with our assignments the Dwarves told us to do what we needed to understand life. Finn for one assignment forgot his life." Even hearing Jake gasp in my ear I continued after rubbing my ear. "He forgot about all of us and lived in an alternate world. The place was pretty much separated into tribes or clans. One clan was the Pilloween's, another was the big brows, and the last was the Tins. Finn ended up wandering around and soon stumbled into the Pilloween's capital village as a wyvern beast of some kind was attacking. Finn killed it out of instinct and was claimed as the Pilloween's new protector. Years went bye and Finn married the chief's daughter and had two kids with her. But Finn wander around looking for something that he lost before becoming their protector. And like the loving woman she was the daughter stayed with Finn as he wandered. After looking for so long Finn stopped telling his family sorry for dragging them in his haunt for the unknown. But they said they loved it and still loved him. Finn aged until his was an old man in a wheelchair. And as he breathed his last breath he smiled feeling his alternate daughter sat beside him... With her twin boys on her lap."
Jake "So he died without finding out why he was sent there?" Shaking my head "No Finn died with the simplest of lives answers. That if you constantly look you'll loss sight of what happiness you already have at your side. Finn stopped and accepted the fault of what he did. And that family still loved him. Finn is now accepting that in life you can't always find that special something that'll always keep family together. All he can do is accept how things are and wait with open arms for the moment were he'll accept an apology for the pain that his family feels." Jake sniffles "Dude you better not mess this plan of yours up." "Don't worry Jake I won't and neither will Arch and Galiant." Jake "So why aren't we going after the Merc's with those two?" "Because the window for the time lapse is short. The Shifter won't be able to see us thanks to the slight reality distortion that Prizmo granted us. Now focus Jake we've got about another two miles to cross." Jake "Fine but at least tell me why Finn couldn't come along already? I mean if anyone has the best chance at killing that Shifter guy its him. So why leave him out?" I sigh "Just think of this as the final push he needs. Now cut it we have to be quiet from here on."
Third person's View
True to her words Glenn is using the Mercs as punching bags and torture dummies for the Unics to laugh at. Demo grunts as he was hanging off the ceiling by his knees and being punch all over. Poor guy without booze he's a mess. His voice reached several octaves when one of the Unics torturing him and Scout punched him in the groin. Glenn smirks slowly dies away after the twenty-minute mark. And now slowly rolling into an hour she is bored. She thought the Mercs would be begging at this point but to her shock none of them were even complaining. Sure they scream or shout in pain from the torture but outside of being tortured they just kept quiet. Demo was soon strapped to a chair to Scouts horror a Unic them starts to zap his chest with a pair of jumper cables. Scout being subjected to her face being rapidly dunked into a tank of cold ice water. Glenn growls "Enough drag them back to their cells. We'll try to get info out of the busty one and the fat one in an hour." As the Unics drag off the Mercs Glenn felt a shiver up her spine. It was odd to her she never felt the ominous shivers before.
But shrugged it off as just someone looking into her grave. Leaving the room and walking down the hall with her two guards. Glenn didn't notice the slight shimmer coming from the vent above her as she continued to walk. Exhaling very slowly you see the faint glow of Arch's eyes as well as her breath drifting through the air like settling dust. Gallant from where he is in the outpost had his eyes glow faintly but he exhaled a more heated breath. Gallant nods "Move fast Arch we are on a schedule." This was the two partners ability called Share sight. One could see through the eyes of the other and vise versa for a plan of attack. Or to alert the other of danger and even to call the other for help.
Gallant sits ready to burst from his hiding spot. He never was the kind to sneak through enemy lines. Least of all have to sneak inside anywhere inside a damn metal box. He'd prefer to bash his way through then hide. But even he noticed how sensitive the situation is. Gallant holds his spot inside the steel box waiting for his time. Sliding from the vent Arch uses her phase mist hands to reveal the inner workings to her. Thanks to Finn's teachings both not only have a slight magical bond thanks to the Share sight. Both have control over their Meta being powers.
Arch's power is called Phase mist powers. Her hands become cloaked in a mist of sorts allowing her to reach through pretty much anything. She can then alter the insides of things quickly creating distortions and weaknesses in the object. As Arch pushes forward she comes upon two guards standing by a door. Unic guard "Did you hear from Intel there might be vampires helping the joint attack on the Garnet gates." Unic guard huffs "So I heard all you need is a fucking sunlight right? Shit all our guys need to do is to point our shoulder lamps at them and they'll run."
Unic guard chuckles "Well did you forget that the Macko guy hurt two of King Finn's wives. Because of what he did the vampire queen was dethroned. I'll let you guess they're out for revenge." Unic guard "Let them it'll make us winning all the better. Fuck that pussy and his cunt wives." With the guards distracted Arch uses her hands to carve a hole into the metal walls. But not before sending a not to Gallant about not letting any Unic run after those two's comment about their teacher. With her hands weaving through the walls metal. Arch's hands almost make the edges of the hole she's creating turn liquid. Pulling the piece of wall loss Arch ducks into the other side. Making a quick patch to keep the piece in place. Following along the new hall Arch jumps to the ceiling and holds on as three Unics come from through another door.
Unic "Why do we have to feed the prisoners?" Unic "Cause asshole we need info and it's a tactic. We give them something small here and there. And they might let a few pieces of info slip to us." Unic "That's stupid we should just keep beating them until the tell us. And eat in their faces until they crack. I'd burp in one of their faces after I finish eating just to fuck with them." Arch growls in her throat as the Unic walks away laughing at his idea. Arch looking to the room drops down without a sound. Crouched and read she pulls a curved long dagger keeping it flushed against her forearm. Getting into the room Arch sees the various pits and one guard keeping somewhat watch. While the other is looking at a monitor. Unic guard "Which ones did that Glenn chick say she wanted to torture next?" Unic guard "The fat guy and the chick with the big tits." Arch glares at the two and moves to them fast. Phasing her hand Arch stabs her wrist knife into hearts. Hearing the convulsing and coughing of her partner the other Unic turns. As the other turns Arch twirls around slashing across the Unics throat. Gargling her blood the Unic drops forward dying as she tries to stop the bleeding. Getting to the cells Arch looks down the first seeing a very bruised Medic. Medic "Good to see you fraulein mind giving us a hand or two?" Arch nods lowering the rope ladders for the Mercs to climb up.
Engineer "Hooo damn I feel like a mule kicked me then walked over my back." Arch "Well the good news is we can get you out." Demo grumbles as he sits on a folding chair "And the bad news sweetheart?" Arch "That only me and Gallant are here to get you out. The invasion of the Garnet gates aren't for another hour. And they only plan to take the gates then the immediate area for coverage. It'll be another two days before they push back the Unics lines to here. Let alone all the way to where the Shifter and the Unics leader are hold up." Spy "And word from the boss what's his plan? What did he tell you to do?" Arch "This isn't master Finn's plan it's Mr. Wolfwood. I'll explain later for now I believe these all belong to you." The Mercs smile as Arch hands them their stuff from within a collapsing magic pouch. Dressing as fast as they could the Mercs do a shell count.
With only under half their ammo they'll be pushing to make every shot count. Especially Scout seeing as her lever action buckshot doesn't have that much range. Spy "We also have to see to it that we destroy as much of this place as we can. They're housing one of the remain portions of their comms net here." Arch "Don't worry Gallant has that part he's in position to make the most noise and the most damage." Using her Share sight Arch gives Gallant the go a head. Gallant smirks slipping on his helmet the large knight flips and primes the detonators in his hands. Gallant smiles "Let the games begin..." Pressing the plungers for the switches the whole building begins to shake and rock from the several support beams suffering damage along the cliffs ledge. Even some of the mountains roads detonate causing patrols and even wandering personnel to duck or die in the blasts. The base sirens blare as Gallant emerges from his large box laughing like a twisted jack in the box. In either hand he's holding his twin axes at the ready. Gallant "Come on you liverless sods come and taste Luster and Duster!"
The first few Unics were caught completely off guard as the large man easily takes them down. But that doesn't last long as four squads converged onto Gallant and begins to open fire. As the energy rifles bolts make contact with Gallant's armor he holds his axes forward and crosses his arms. As the Unics stop to reload Gallant laughs "Victory I claim now lads!" To the Unics shock the energy that Gallant was shower with transfers to his axe heads. Spilling Luster Gallant slams it down onto the floor creating a shockwave that not only knocks the Unics off their feet. It kicks up chunks of the metal floor to act as scattering shrapnel. Wounding and maiming anyone unlucky enough to be hit. Gallant laughs as he presses forward happy once more to have his axes taste battle. Spinning his axe Gallant disarms one Unic to then kick him in the chest sending him flying through a glass window. Gallant spinning his weapons with ease sweeps the legs of three Unics. Cleaving them clean off by the knees. Gallant laughs as he hard charges forward allowing his armor to absorb the energy weapons bolt. Allowing him then to redirect that energy into his weapons.
Several floors up Arch and the Mercs were moving to capture the bases antenna and the vehicle depot. Splitting off at a junction Arch headed to the depot with Heavy, Sniper, and Pyro. The other Mercs heading to destroy the antenna. Glenn was freaking out no one told her that she would be facing Meta beings that weren't on her side. She thought either they were under the Unics pay or the Seeker's were brainwashing them. And Glenn for sure wasn't about to sit around and let her sister catch her. Glenn 'Another day then sister but today I will live with my revenge to nest somewhere else.' Getting into a hover chopper Glenn orders the pilot and the squad inside to escort her back to the main base. As they were leaving Glenn took a quick look to see Arch and three of the Mercs begin to fight the Unics at the loading landing for the depot.
Glenn "Another day for revenge sister. Pilot tell all hover copters close by to kill anyone not heading back to main base. We can't let the prisoners tell anyone what they know." The pilot nods as she relays the message across the air traffic. With the cool air once more reminding her of where she is Pyro wishes she had a jacket. Not just her skintight leather suite that would normally insulate her from her flamer. Changing her canister Pyro switched the type of flames she is using. Now lobbing balls of flames down onto the remaining enemies Pyro laughs as the Unics scream in pain from the balls exploding on impact.
Clearing the area the Mercs find three trucks. Heavy pulls two dead Unics from the back of one truck as the other Mercs come rushing to them. Arch "Oh good Gallant has made it topside and disabled their power and main guided defense system. But now he's saying that we have three heavily armed choppers heading our way. With orders to kill not capture." Scout "What else is new let's get why the gettin's good!" With all three trucks full the Mercs floor the gas pedals putting as much distance as they can with the Unic outpost as they can. Only stopping briefly for Gallant to jump on. As they kick up the small amount of dirt and ice they hear the whining of the hover copters. Pyro sitting next to Demo starts to mess with the radio. Demo "Lass please stop we don't have time to enjoy music right now." Pyro simply slaps his hand away going back to looking for something to listen too. In time she stops as one of Finn's song start to fill the air. Tapping her hands Pyro hums along to Finn and the Elder Gods We will Rock you.
Fox's View
I exhale as Connor just sits their looking off into the open sea. Hearing the radio message from my earpiece I tap Connor. "Another hour until they get here and from the looks of it they'll have to work against a tropical storm that's moving in." Connor "Well that just means us disabling their ships heavy and sinking them that easier. We can use the rain distortion of the water to our advantage. But also we've confirmed from our spying Meta being that some vampires will be helping in the assault. Do you want to slow them down before we go after the ships?" Connor "After for right now lets disable them enough to keep them from landing more troops. And with them out and trying to get their ships working again. Our forces can move in and take them out." I exhale the smoke from my lips "You sound as cold as your mother when she threatened that girl from trying to sleep with you when she was drunk."
Connor "My mother wanted my first time to be special like she and my mom's did with my father. But I still don't understand their eyes how they looked at me as the weaker child." Exhaling I look at him then to Dree. "I don't fully get it C. Your dad was like you younger he worked to be the badass he became. Plus he did say that sometimes his powers made he feel weaker." Connor "My bad couldn't find the balance in his powers. He has the power to move large masses of land but poor flow control. Doing tasks that require him to focus for extended times maxes out his control and drains him faster. It's the whole reason why he can't use his powers to grow back his arm. It's primarily why he prefers to use his powers in battles. Or when he's making something he can be fast and pure instinctual."
I shrug "Whatever you say so did Deadmau say what we should do if we see him?" Connor "He simply said that we are to wait for his call after my dad arrives. The rest of the time we stick to the plans the Unics and our Lady has given to us." Exhaling again I spit the used smoke from my lips. "Lady Sunic still hasn't said what that weird sword she has is for. Nor why Deadmau needed all the son's of Death. Doesn't it worry you a little about what they plan to do to make sure they win?"
Connor "War isn't for politics, not for bleeding hearts, or hand outs. Its to crush our enemies see them driven before us and hearing the lamentation of a partner we claim. But not for the soft or politically favorite. We as warriors and soldiers who have one job... kill anyone who stands in our leaders way. Lady Sunic guided us when our families refused to look at us equally and loving. The words of the old world speak of loyalty and faith showed us our path to the High guard and its ways of control over the chaos of free will. My father knows the weakness of mortality... and now you will to Fox. Mortality is freedom itself. We can choose to be anything but some know that control a ruling iron force is what's best for people. Some do it small while others large. But when the world has too much life it uses its influence to cause chaos and weed out those unneeded lives. My father wanted harmony for all. And so did yours but look where we are. Those of the Republic are in shambles because of their own stupidity thinking that it was the fault of their leaders. When the people were asking too much not know the limits of themselves. Now they are no longer a problem. And soon the Empire will fold at our Lady's grasps."
"You do know that your dad won't let UOK or Colony fall so easily?" Connor "Lady Sunic and Deadmau knows. That's why they worked so hard to hurt my dad using my moms. I wish the only just kidnapped them and used doppelgangers to make him angrier. But I understand their need even though I dislike it. As for Colony technology will be its own downfall. And with UOK on its own and my father emotionally exhausted they will fold too. Then our Lady will reshape the world under a principality government. Where order will overrule freedom and kindness. Where you must earn every thing, from food to the love and respect of all. Then the chains of mortality will be fixed and we will have true peace in the world. Just as Lady Sunic trained and taught us." Nodding I light another smoke to sit and wait for the ships to make for the gates.
Smiles; Well shit someone's going to get a serious grounding after this.
Jester; Yeah Connor's off the deep end with Fox tagging along. So yeah hope you all liked it share, comment, and favorite if it's not too much.
Smiles; Peace off and WE'LL HUG YOU ALL LATER!
