The Terror of Admiral Overdrive - Chapter 3
The 1st Preatorian fleet pulled into sight of the enemy. The enemy fleet was massed and waiting for them.
Damn! They were waiting for us all along. This is Lieutenant Johnson to the fleet. All ships prepare weapons systems and launch fighters. Engage the enemy.
Veritech fighters and mobile suit divisions poured out of the Preatorian capital ships and flew straight for the enemy. They were met by the enemy fighters. Both sides open fire and the battle began.
This is red leader. Red Squadron, take that clump of fighters over there.
Red 5, this is Red 2! You've got one your tail.
I can't shake him! I can't shake him! I need some help!!! PHHHZZZZZT BOOM! Thanks Gold 3. Watch out, here comes three more of them!
I see em! I'll get the left one! Hey, look out!!!
The preatorian fleet grouped together and powered up.
Okay. Fleet, this is Johnson. Arm Reflex cannons and prepare massed fire on the enemy capital ships. On my command. Wait......wait......wait...and...FIRE!!!
The Preatorian fleet let loose a hale of reflex blasts, melting and incinerating half of the enemy fleet. The Rain of Death tactic worked perfectly for the situation.
Okay, charge the reflex cannons and prepare for the next attack! Hurry!
Inside the complex, Templar9000 and Admiral Overdrive flew toward each other, beam swords in hand. They clashed several times, neither one making a a lethal blow. After several minutes of blade fighting they floated back and stared at each other.
Hmmm, not bad Admiral. You warmed up?
Yes, I'd say that was sufficient.
Good! In that case, prepare to die!
Templar9000 powered up, surrounded by a dark green aura of energy. A smirk passed over the admiral mechanical face, and then he powered up himself. Both warriors charged at each other, this time to fight for real. The fighting was faster and more intense. Blades swirled and clashed. They spoke while they fought.
Nice try Admiral! Hah!
You'll have do do better that, vermin!
Finally, their blades clashed and came to a stand still, as each one worked to overpower the other. Templar was losing, then the Admiral, and back to Templar9000 again. With one last shove, T9000 sent Overdrive's sword off to the other side of the room. He raised a hand, fire one small, powerful blast, and the sword burst into pieces.
Well Emperor. It looks as if you have beat me at the sword.
So I have. But this is far from over.
Templar9000 discarded his weapon, stretched his arms out a little, and waited.
So, lets try this again, shall we emperor.
and with that, the two of them launched into a frenzy of punches and kicks. They were pulverizing each other, T9000 sending a punch to the admiral's stomach, the admiral returning a kick to Templar's side. They were battling so fast, that no normal human could follow them. Templar9000, in the air, formed into a Kamehameha style position.
Psionic Shockwave!!!!!! his voice resonated throughout the room.
Blast of Fury!!!!!! Out of one of Admiral Overdrive's shoulder cannons, a bright blast was emitted. The two beams met in the center. Both of them worked hard to overpower the other's beam. The admiral, seeing the lack of favor, put his full power into it. Templar9000 couldn't hold it, and the admirals beam sent into the far wall, creating a huge hole.
Urrgg! He's stronger than me. He bled from the lip, arms, and legs. He felt weaker.
No! I can't let him beat me! That's IT!
The wall exploded, and out of the remains, Templar9000 walked out, fully powered up. He felt strong and determined. The admiral looked in awe at the strong power of the warrior below.
Well, I admit Templar that I'm impressed, but you're still no match for me.
Templar9000 was breathing hard, both from being tired and from anger. He wanted to tear the admiral apart.
You're through Overdrive. Die!
Templar9000 flew up at him. The two met in another frenzy of kicks and punches. This time, the favor was clearly in Templar9000's favor. At high speeds, he flew up, punched the admiral in the gut, kneed him in the back, and slammed him to the ground. Overdrive forced himself back up. As he flew back up to fight, Templar9000 came at him and let loose a fury of punches to the gut and chest. The admiral was battered up, doubled over with damage. Finally, Templar9000 stopped and spin-kicked the admiral as hard as he could. Overdrive sailed downward and smashed into the ground, causing the entire to be destroyed. Templar9000 floated down into the ruins, watching his opponent lay flat on the ground.
You're through admiral. Don't worry, there's no surrender for you. Only your termination.
Argghhh! Silence fool! Argghh!
Admiral Overdrive pushed himself back up and powered up, angry and embarrassed. Feeling his face plate, the admiral noticed that he was badly damaged. His left arm was disabled, his right shoulder and middle section badly damaged.
What's the matter, admiral? Are you hurt?
Fool! You have a made a foolish mistake.
Overdrive powered up, angered this time, and charged at Templar9000.
Uh oh!
The admiral was about to charge right in to him, but before the admiral could make it, Templar performed a powerful uppercut, smashing the admiral's chin with his knee. Overdrive flew up and smashed into the ceiling and then dropped and slammed on the floor. After recovering for a moment, Admiral Overdrive pushed himself up.
Don't think you've one just yet, Templar9000. This isn't over. You have yet to see my full power! Observe. OVERDRIVE!!!!!! The admiral began flashing, slowly at first but getting faster, until finally his power erupted, causing T9000 to shield his eyes. When the dust cleared, Overdrive stood anew, but more powerful, and with more weapons. Templar9000 realized with horror that Admiral Overdrive's power level had sky rocketed.
What the...how..did..you get...?
Silence. Die fool!!! AHHH!
The admiral shot towards him, elbowed him in the stomach, punched him in the gut, kicked him, and slammed him to the ground.
Above the planet, a field of debris remained where the the enemy fleet once held position.
Commander Johnson, they're gone. No enemy vessels detected on our sensors.
Excellent work everyone. Now, lets get down to the planet and clean up what left.
The preatorian fleet began dispatching Veritechs and mobile suit divisions to overthrow the enemy ground troops.
Templar9000 pushed himself up from the ground.
Don't...think...I'm strong...enough......Done...for......No!... mustn't......giveup......
He stood up, wiped the blood from his face and arms, and began powering up.
Okay, Overdrive! That's it!
The admiral floated down toward him, smirking, and loaded with power.
Don't fool yourself Templar. It's over. You've lost.
T9000 charged at the admiral.
Fool. You'll just never learn. Overdrive kicked out of his sight, sending him crashing into another wall.
He could barely pull himself together when suddenly the admiral revealed all of his weapons.
I've been waiting for this moment, Templar9000. I've prepared a little present for you. Eat this!
Suddenly, Admiral Overdrive unleashed his full force, fired every energy weapon he had at the weakened warrior.
You enjoy this pain, don't you Templar. Don't you! Well, HAVE A LITTLE MORE!
Pain shot throughout his body, burning him everywhere. After several minutes, the blasts stopped. Templar9000 fell to the floor.
Well, that did it. He's gone. said the admiral to himself.
ergh! Not............yet............
WHAT! Still alive?! How can this be!
I've...got...more...fight...in...me...left...Just..wait. Hehe.
He stood up, beaten, bruised, and bloody.
Well, suit yourself, Templar. If you want more pain, then just ask for it.
T9000 clenched his fists and powered up with whatever he had left in him. He was furious.
Damn it. That's it! I've had it with you! KAAAIOOOKEEEENNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TIMES TEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The dark green aura around him turned to a very dark red. His power level shot up sharply.
My god! How did you-
Silence, just die!
He flew at Admiral Overdrive and knocked towards the wall, then shot behind him and upper cutted him toward the ceiling, then shot above him, and with two fists, pounded him as hard as he could into the ground.
The Kaiokin effect began to ware off, but the damage had been done. In in Overdrive form, Admiral Overdrive couldn't take the damage. Before he even hit the ground, the admiral burst into 10 pieces.
NO! HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN?! I'M SUPPOSED TO BE THE STRONGEST!
Die Admiral Overdrive. Die!
NO! What are you going to do?! Oh my...! NO! NOOOO!
PSIONIC SHOCKWAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hours later, Templar9000, commander Johnson, the governor of planet Sovereign, and all of the top staff stood outside of what remained of the capital building.
Governor, the enemy complex has been destroyed, and all of the enemy forces have either been captured or destroyed.
I can't thank you enough sir. We were all afraid for our lives.
I'm glad the situation resolved in the best possible way.
Yes lieutenant?
Sir, we need to get you to a restoration chamber. You're badly hurt. Docter's orders sir.
That wouldn't be a bad idea. Well governor, I guess I'll talk to you when things return to normal here. Goodbye.
Goodbye. Thank you.
They left the planet and returned to the fleet. Templar9000, upon return, departed his comrades for the trip home, and spent his time in the restoration battle. Before he entered, though, Lt. Johnson came to talk to him.
Sir, tell me something, if you will please. We didn't that complex, and we never found any traces of Admiral Overdrive.
Templar9000 smiled.
Lieutenant, I destroyed Admiral Overdrive and the complex with my final Psionic Shockwave. Since that was the admiral's last and most powerful body, I don't think we'll have to worry about him ever again. Anyway, I should probably get in here. I trust you'll keep things smooth and running cleanly until we arrive back home.
Yes sir.
Well then, goodbye. I'll see you when we get back. and with that, Templar9000 climbed into the chamber, sealed the hatch shut, and began the restoration process. Johnson saw his superior into the chamber, then left to return to his duties.
Inside the chamber, Templar9000 thought to himself. If Admiral Overdrive wasn't destroyed the first time, who else survived. How many more people will have to suffer because someone is trying to get revenge on me? How many more will I have to fight to save both myself and my friends. Only the future holds the answers, but for now I have an empire to run and a life to live. But I'll be ready for them. I'll be ready......
