The Last Warrior
Chapter 6:Kane's Fortress
"Are you ready Slade?" Page asked through the intercom.
"Ready." Slade said as he looked around the training room. It was very wide and high. and every inch was covered in padding. Then, a small door opened in front of Slade and a robot about a head smaller then him came out.
"Slade," Said Page, "Meet Zenith the sparring robot. He will be your opponent."
"Ok." Slade said as he started to stretch his calves. "You won't be mad if I break this guy will you?"
"Don't worry about it." Glenn said. "If Page had a dollar for everytime he had to fix that thing he'd be richer than Kane."
Slade smiled and shut his eyes in concentration.
"Whenever you're ready Slade." Eve said to him.
"Go ahead." Slade said with his eyes still closed.
Page pressed a button on the control panel and Zenith darted foward at Slade. He engaged Slade in combat, punching and kicking furiously, while Slade just dodged effortlessly with his eyes still shut. Then, Zenith threw a powerful punch directly at Slade's face. Slade caught the robot's arm, opened his eyes, and kicked the robot right in the gut. Zenith flew almost to the other side of the room before it stopped itself. Slade was immeadiately upon him, attacking like crazy while a crooked, half-smile spread across his face.
"Look at him!" Ena said in amazement, "He's enjoying this!"
It was true, Slade was clearly enjoying his fight. He kicked Zenith in the back, punched him in the face, and grabbed his arm again.
"Time to end this." Slade said as he threw Zenith into the air.
"What's his power at?" Eve asked.
"About 15." Page responded.
"15? And this guy thinks he can take Kane?" Aiden said indignantly.
Just then though, the power reading skyrocketed as Slade began to power up.
"What's this?" Page said dumbfounded. "5000, 10000, 100000!"
"What the hell!?" Aiden yelled.
Slade then put his hands together at his wrists, and then put them at his side.
"KAAAAAAAAMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEE-!!!!!" He yelled.
"What is that!?" Una yelled as the power level went up past the 300000 mark.
"-HHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEE-!!!!"
The entire room began to shake at the power. The reading was at 500000.
"HHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!" Slade yelled as the giant beam of blue energy turned Zenith into dust and ripped a hole in the cealing.
Slade came out of the room and went into the control station. Everyone stared at him with expressions of amazement and fear( and in Aiden's case, a little anger).
"Uh, sorry about Zenith and the roof. I got carried away." Slade laughed.
"Don't worry about it." Page finally said. "If there's on thing I love, it's something to fix."
Slade picked up his coat and went back to his room. A minute later, there was a knock at the door.
"Come in." Slade said.
Eve walked into the room still looking surprised.
"Slade?" She asked. "What was that back there?"
"The Kamehameha Wave. One of the most difficult moves I know." Slade said.
"Wow." Eve said. Then after regaining her composure, "Slade, you know we're planning an attack on Kane's palace."
"Really?" Slade said as though not beleving her.
"Yes, it's been in the works for a long time, even though we could never bring it to light. But I think with your help, we'll be able to do it."
"Hmmmmmmm." Slade said. "How far is it from here?"
"About 2 miles." Eve said.
"2 miles?!" Slade yelled. "I must have been traveling for longer than I thought."
"Why didn't you just fly there?" Eve asked.
"Kane would have noticed me and I wanted to keep the element of surprise." Slade said as though this were obvious.
"Oh," Eve said. "Well, are you in?"
"Hell yes!!" Slade said.
They reached the outskirts of the dark building and hid behind a group of rocks. Eve was relaying the plan.
"We are to blast the door and split up once were inside. Then, make your way to the main chamber where we will destroy Kane."
"Go in there with guns blazing huh?" Aiden said. "Sounds good, but what will he be doing?"
He pointed to Slade.
"What do think I meant by 'destroy Kane'." Eve said with a smirk.
She looked over at Slade. He was looking at the castle with gritted teeth. His knuckles were white with anger and his palms were bleeding.
"Are you alright Slade?" Una asked.
Slade didn't answer, he just kept looking at the castle with his eyes squinted in anger. Finally he said,
"I'll clear a path for you." Then he flew off.
"Hey wait!!" Eve called after him. But he was too far gone already.
He flew over head the outer guards and fired blasts continuously below him. The guards were caught compleately by suprise as they were blown apart. Eve and her team ran inside the fortress and split up as planned. Slade was charging right through, ignoring everyone, with only one thought racing in his head, "Get Kane."
Then he stopped. He reached a large chamber. On the far wall was a high stoop, with a throne on top. Two men were on top of the hill. One sitting, one standing. Slade knew them both. Aragog the general, and the one that Slade knew and hated the most. The one he had seen in both his dreams and nightmares.
Kane.
