Chapter 5: Failure
Location: Zartotock 5
The small dark room remained dark, the only light coming from the machine. Inside the devise, a horrid twisted creature, half alive and half completed, grew at a rate that would make any genetic scientist proud. Mussels attached to the bone, then came to life as fresh blood flowed through them. The brain swelled and snugly fit inside the exposed cranium, flaps of skin quickly covered the eyes, the eyes that have driven the minds of thousands beyond insanity. Ollran looked on with the widest of grins. It was only a matter of time now.
Outside, a Dodrando transport landed and unloaded the passengers…the Soul Guardians. They disembarked and stared at the near rock face. It had a steel door on it, in plain sight…save for the fact that it was nearly pitch black on the planet. Ollrack walked toward the door. "Ha, pitiful design…I don't even see a lock."
"Because that door is not meant to keep people out…there really isn't any need to." Aileta said dully.
"Should we just walk right in?" Erick asked. "I mean…who knows what traps they have set for us." Aileta walked up to the door and kicked it open. She created a rock with her mind and it fell into her hand. She tossed into the cavern. Nothing happened. "Works for me." The guardians entered. It was a straight path, just a hallway that led into the cliff. They soon reached another door. Again, no lock whatsoever. Tiffany placed her ear on the door, she heard someone typing, but nothing else.
"I think our culprit is in there." She whispered. Aileta began to approach the door, but Electrifying put his hand on her shoulder, stopping her.
"We should all go into this together, no risks." He said.
"I'll knock down the door." Ollrack said. "3…2…1" Ollrack kicked the door right off its hinges. He and the other guardians ran into the dark room. One by one their gaze fell on the stasis tank, and what lay inside. Electrifying was most astonished…never before had his arch nemesis been so powerful, yet incomplete. Ollrack saw Ollran at the controls. "Shut that thing down right now!" He commanded. Ollran laughed and turned around.
"Too late, its out of my hands now, the machine is playing little role in his completion now…his own genetic material is healing itself…I'd give him 5 minutes at the rate he's going…and then you asshole guardians will be way our of your league." Ollran laughed at his accomplishment. He had succeeded.
"Then we'll just have to take care of him before he wakes up." Ollrack growled. In front of them, a cloaked figure crouched down, hidden from the guardians in the shadows. Black Phoenix stood and revealed himself to them.
"And what makes you think I'll let you do that ass." He said, opening his cold penetrating eyes. Aileta ignored Electrifyings restraint and walked to the front of the group. Phoenix smiled. "I never knew you to be a vengeful one." Ollrack said. This was not the first time David was killed. The first time was during Sicrons "apocalypse". And he saw the same rage in Aileta then as she did now. Sicron had a huge influence on Aileta, and David almost seemed to even it out. Ollrack almost pitted Black Phoenix.
"He's almost complete!" Electrifying announced. Surely enough, the last pieces of Sicron were forming on his body.
"I suggest you move." Aileta shot at Phoenix as she drew her trusty Metroid disc. "Fusion attack, NOW!" she ordered. The soul guardians powered up their staffs. Aileta threw her disc at the stasis tank. The others followed by shooting their attacks together at the disc.
"Lighting thrust!" Thousands of electrical energy bolts fused with the disc.
"Light Stream!" A beam of light pushed the weapon faster.
"Shadow implosion!" The tips of the spikes that rimed the disc were coated with dark energy.
"Spirit beam!" The entire disc was enveloped by a blast that could shake the gods. Phoenix jumped out of the way and could only watch as the deadly weapon rocketed at his potential master. Just before the disc could strike the tank, Sicrons eyes snapped open. A ball of fire rose up and blocked the disc. It dropped to the ground with a clank. Sicron let lose his energy and the glass that surrounded him shattered. Gallons upon gallons of stasis fluid spilled to the ground. Sicron stepped down and looked upon his old rivals with his ever famous eyes that have caused so much pain. He smiled.
