The Little Girl and the Ottomans
Chapter 9
The giant robot, with syndicate members inside, left all of them at the hide-out as it strolled towards Algiers at a leisurely pace. Everyone stood there, speechless as it's hulking form disappeared in a sandstorm that was coming their way. Their shock quickly went away after Soldier, and Medic who was unfrozen, finally landed. Val and her friends expected them to be dead, but they got up like it was nothing. They were shocked at first. Nobody could survive that fall. Val was really worried about Dark. Somehow, she had taken a beating far worse than Vida could've ever dished out, thanks to Danny. She could sense that Dark was unconscious, which she was thankful for.
"Anti-magic shields. Never in the entirety of my existence have I heard of such a thing," Devlin said. Yılan only shook her head as everyone began to move out.
"That robot is heading for Algiers! Men, get in the airships," Darumai ordered. They entered the large planes and they took off towards Algiers. They hope they can get there in time before the syndicate unleashes hell on the city. As the soldiers and Val's friends began to discuss on how to approach the situation, Val decided to take a nap.
Val awoke to find herself in her dreamworld again. In front of her laid Dark, who's body was broken and battered. She was breathing. A bright orb formed in front of them, which then transformed into Crystalia, the Goddess of Life, New Beginning, and the Galatrias.
"Val. It's time."
"T-time for what," Val asked. Crystalia looked to the side, with Val following her gaze til they saw a portal, showing the giant robot destroying Algiers. Val's eyes widened as she gasped.
"The USSO's Earth will fall to evil, and when that happens, they will take ours. We must not let that happen. That is why I'm bestowing you this." Her hand opened, revealing a ball of energy. Val could sense it's power from where she was. "The Gate of Beginning. Take it, and save both Earth's from evil's wrath." Val looked at Dark, who gave her a pained nod. Val agreed, and the ball of energy flew to her. The action caused her to wake up, her golden dragon markings and eyes were glowing. Everyone in the airship she was in was shocked to see that. Suddenly, energy began to fill their bodies.
"Today! I am a GOD," Medic yelled as his own hands and eyes were glowing. Everyone else was as well, even the soldiers. Val then teleported them to Algiers, where the robot just finished firing it's tiberium creator. The area that it hit was covered in a green crystal that began to spread. The syndicate members were shocked to see them. They didn't expect them to get here in the blink of an eye.
"What!?"
"Take aim!" The giant robot aimed it's hand at the airships as they landed. Everyone was teleported out, all ready to destroy the robot. As well, lights began to fall from the sky, which formed into a Galatria army!
"I can sense great energy coming from them. It's as if the gods are against us now," Lofel said.
"Fire!" The robot fired a laser at them, but the Galatrias, along with Val and co., were all unscathed. The syndicate's eyes were all as wide as dinner plates as Val gave the order to charge.
And with the snap of a finger, that power the Gate of Beginning gave Val, vanished. The Galatria army turned back into light and ascended into the heavens. Everyone, besides Soldier, Demo, and Engi, gasped in horror as the ball of energy that Crystalia gave Val floated above them. A dark mass soon swooped in and grabbed the ball before transforming into...
"Hello foolish mortals! Your little child just tried to end this little story before my part was even hinted at!" Everyone, even Vida herself, was shaking in fear at that...thing. How can one thing be so horrifying!?
"S...story?"
"You all wouldn't understand, since your just characters! While I...am a demon in the system!"
"Characters-"
"You know what, I'm just gonna go and get rid of this thing. Hey other syndicate members! Take care of them will yah! Once your done, capture the females and send them to Istanbul. I'll collect them from there. And that includes the young ones as well." And just like that, the thing disappeared. Their fear went away, and they looked up to the robot, who stared down at them, it's visor glowing yellow. The plasma cannon at the center of it's chest began to charge up with energy.
"Yo incoming," Scout yells.
"Every bug for himself," Peygamber yells. They all tried to dodge, but the plasma beam fired. It was too large for most of them to dodge. Devlin tried to teleport them all out of the way, but it seems like it went missing. How can one of her powers go missing!? The blast engulfed the building, along with the buildings and concrete behind it. A huge wall of flame and smoke billowed up from the carnage as the robot shined it's visor down at the rubble. Those heros were still alive. Well...except for one.
Darumai, the greatest general of Skyway Patorl, was impaled by a falling metal pipe. Everyone, minus Dark, Soldier, Demo, Scout, Engi, Tracker, Vida, Devlin, Medic, and Sniper, all had their eyes wide.
"Darumai!" The kids rush over to him. Quinn pulled the giant metal pipe out of him, while Val let a tear fall on him. But nothing happened.
"What?" She tried multiple times, but it was no use. He was dead. Really dead.
"What do we do now? That giant robot is basically invincible! How are we even going to hurt it," Sniper questioned. Shifu slowly got up and looked at the robot, which continued it's destruction. Shifu then got an idea.
"Can one of you manage to get inside that robot?" Everyone looked around at each other. "Soldier, Vida, take Val and get inside that robot. There should be a door under it's foot. Shoot it and let it step on you!"
"What!? I am not letting that thing step on Val," Vida yelled.
"Move up," Soldier yells. He grabs Val and began to use his cow-mangler plasma launcher to jump after the robot.
"SOLDIER!" Vida began to chase after him. They soon arrived at the robot, who was getting ready to step. Soldier fired a blast from his plasma launcher, which contacted it's foot, opening a hatch. Vida shielded Val as the robot sent it's foot down. Instead of crushing them however, they were sent into a small compartment under the plasma cannon. It seemed to be a holding station. They noticed Jenny on the floor in one of the cells.
"Jenny!" Val rushed over to the bars. The bars moved on their own as Val stepped in. She ran over to her, gently shaking her. "Wake up! It's me Val!"
"V-Val!?" Jenny sat up and looked at her. "How did you get in here!?
"We took a shortcut. Come with us! We need your help," Val told her.
"What's the point. I have no idea why I feel..."suppressed." Without my gadgets and strength to help you all, were basically hopeless against this machine," Jenny retorted. Vida was surprised. She never saw Sumer, or should I say, Jenny, so depressed like this before.
"Just come with us then." Vida then grabbed Jenny, but began to wobble due to her surprising weight.
"How heavy is she," Vida questioned.
"I'm 600 pounds, that's what my mother told me," Jenny told her. Vida, Soldier, Val, and Jenny find a hatch and open it, dropping out of the robot after Soldier deployed a parachute. They landed on the ground softly and quickly ran back to Shifu and the others.
"Are you okay Jenny," Gem asked.
"I'm fine...mostly." Jenny sighed and sat down. "You may think I'm your last hope, but the syndicate is right. How am I going to save everyone without my gadgets and brute strength to back me up?"
"Were a sorry, buncha' losers," Demo said, drinking more scrumpy before tripping over some rubble.
"Hm...hang on," Peygamber said. He entered Jenny, since she is a robot, and began looking around inside her body. He noticed a little, blinking device with the syndicate's logo on it. "I fount it. It looks like one of those suppressors the syndicate uses!"
"A suppressor? Now that's cool. Do those only affect robots or something," Damien asked Jenny, who was surprised to find out she had one of them inside her the whole time.
"The kind inside me only affects robots, but Germany has produced some suppressors that stop a person from using all of his or her magic," Jenny explained.
"Can you try and get it out," Gem questioned Peygamber. The mantis humal tried his hardest to pull it out, but it was stuck to her mainframe like it was fused to her.
"I can't. It seemed to have fused itself with her mainframe." Soldier scoffed and began to reload his plasma launcher.
"I'm sorry guys...I failed you," Jenny told them.
"No. Your not done yet." Jenny looked towards Shifu with angry eyes.
"But I can't! That suppressor is fused to me! I can't get it out and neither can Peygamber! Were toast," Jenny retorted.
"We are not failing until I say so! Val. Go see what you can do," Shifu gently ordered. Val nodded and walked over to Jenny.
"Jenny..." Val's dragon markings returned and her eyes glowed gold. Energy began to enter Jenny's body, which began to head to the suppressor. The energy began to overload it's systems, and it short circuited, unlatching from her inside. Jenny suddenly felt her body feel...whole again. She slowly sat up and looked at her arm. When she tried it back at the battle in Shin's hideout, she could only unfurl her buzz-saw for some reason. This time, she tried to activate something else. A compartment opened in her arm, and a blaster came out! She then got up on her two feet, and tried something else. Boosters unfurled from her metal pigtails, back, and feet.
"Thanks kid. Now, time to save the world!" She flies up to the giant robot as it sliced through an immigration station. "Hey bird-brain!"
"Did someone?" The robot turns around, seeing Jenny hovering in front of her with a menacing glare. All the members in the syndicate gasped in shock, well except for Danny.
"Of course she did."
"How did you..." Shin was at a loss for words. He thought the suppressor would keep her from foiling with the syndicates plans. But now she's out of their grasp, and she now has access to all of her gadgets and other things she's known for. "Kill her now!"
"Bring it on!"
The giant robot aimed it's right hand at her and fired a tiberium laser at her. She dodged quickly, but wasn't able to dodge the giant hand coming at her. The robot punched her into a building, causing it to crumble on top of her. However, she simply got out of it like it was a pile of snow, and charged back at it. The giant robot fired a few anti-air rockets from it's shoulders, aimed at Jenny, who simply kicked them away. The rockets exploded into a bunch of firework-like explosions.
"What!?" The robot then fired liquid tiberium at Jenny, who dodged out of the way. The liquid tiberium hit a building and turned into crystals. Jenny fired an energy beam from her hand, shooting at the robot's left arm. It wasn't able to put it's shield up in time, and the energy beam cut clean through it. The hand fell to the ground, producing a dust storm that filled the surrounding area for a few seconds.
"No!"
"Take that syndicate," Jenny insulted. The robot then brung up it's stone ray and fired at her. She dodged, but the stone ray hit a bronze statue, turning it into stone. From it's back, four spider-like legs emerged, lifting the robot into the air. The robot began firing more tiberium crystals at Jenny, who dodged each and every one. It then switched to it's tiberium spreader, and sprayed tiberium seeds. Jenny quickly moved out of the way of the tiberium seed cloud, but she was swatted away again by the giant robot. She crashed into the ground so hard, it caused a short earthquake throughout the city. It then fired a plasma ball at her from it's nozzle-like nose. Jenny got up quickly, not even scratched from the fall, and unfurled a baseball bat. She whacked the plasma ball right back at the robot, destroying the plasma nozzle.
"How about that," Jenny yelled. Shin's face contorts in anger.
"Fire the plasma cannon," Shin yelled to the Boss Wolf, who had joined with them to command the weapons. But Jenny was zooming around too fast for him to see.
"But sir, she's moving too fast for me to hit her," he said.
"I SAID FIRE AT HER! FIRE!" The plasma cannon begins to charge up. At 100%, Boss Wolf turns towards Shin.
"Sir. The target is moving too fast. I can't hit her," Boss Wolf told him. Shin finally had it, and threw a knife at Boss Wolf's chest. He falls to the floor as Shin takes his place. Boss Wolf was right. Jenny was moving too fast to get a hit. So, he did the next best thing.
Aim directly at the others. At Val.
Jenny's eyes widened when she noticed the direction the plasma cannon was aiming. Shin grins evilly and presses the button to fire.
"No!" She flew down to try and save them, but it was too late. The blast hit their location, vaporizing them all into the very finest of atoms. Or so she thought, more on that later though. She, as well, was caught in the blast. The blast sent her straight into a building, which collapsed on top of her. After a few minutes, Jenny emerged from the rubble as the syndicate's giant robot loomed over her. Breathing hard, she slowly gazed around at the destruction caused by the robot. None of her friends could be seen anywhere.
"N...no..." Jenny looks back at the giant robot, and she swore she could see Shin's gloating smile. She stared at the robot with a long, burning glare. She then stood up before activating her thrusters again, taking off into the sky. Shin laughs as Jenny reached the height she wanted to go. Shin looks at her as Jenny closes her eyes.
"As you wish..." he looked back at the other members of the syndicate. "Let's finish this." All of them, except for Danny, grinned menacingly as the robot pointed it's tiberium laser cannon at her. As a dark storm cloud appears overhead, the lights in the robot turn on. Cain, who was in control of the tiberium cannon, fired it at Jenny. She scrunches her eyes as the laser rapidly approaches. It was just seconds away from vaporizing her when she reached out her hand. A larger wing came out from her shoulder, and she whacked it away. Shin and the other members of the syndicate stare in pure astonishment as their eyes track the laser's flight into a building nearby, completely destroying it. Jenny grins and lifts her hand to notice the wings.
"Wah!?" She then noticed a glint off to her right. She zooms in on the building's top with her eyes to see everyone alive! Val was hopping up and down, cheering her on, as well as the other children. Dark scoffed and looked away as the other adults either smiled or looked on in determination, a determination for her to win. By this time, Shin and the syndicate had recovered from their shock and become determined to kill Jenny once and for all. Vexus caused the machine to fire a laser from it's visor. She stops smiling and readies herself. She grabs the laser with the magical wings, fumbling with it before tossing it high above her head. It hit another building, once again destroying it. Jenny yells in triumph, but hovers quickly to her right as Cain fired another tiberium laser at her, barely missing her.
"Kill her! Somebody kill her," Shin yells. The syndicate members continue their assault. Jenny redirects a stone ray and dodges a tiberium laser and a bunch of rockets. They continue firing, but she redirects them all. Shin looks on in horror as Jenny begins redirecting the blasts towards the robot. The robot's rocket shoulders, stone ray, and the robot's visor are destroyed by their own ammo. "What!? No!" Jenny redirects a tiberium laser at the last weapon, the tiberium launcher/laser, destroing it with ease, while also taking off the robot's whole right arm. With no other choice, Shin activates the plasma cannon in the giant robot's chest. She readies for it, and at 100%, it fires. Jenny grabs the blast with her magical wings, and begins to yell as the momentum of the blast begins to send her backwards. The blast was really taking a tole on her, as a few feathers on the magical wings fell off. It spins in her hands as she hovers into the air, taking a spiral of smoke with her. She stays in that level, a light surrounding her as she tries to keep the blast from exploding. Shin is stunned by the sight. The light goes away, as Jenny aims the ball back at the robot.
"For Earth!" She forces the ball made from the plasma blast to aim directly at the chest of the robot. The ball then discharged, sending the blast directly back at the robot. Shin braces himself, but doesn't realize that Vexus helped the others get back to where their forces were before it hit. The blast hits the robot, exploding into an almost nuclear-like blast, obscuring everyone's vision as dust and smoke filled the surrounding area.
When the smoke cleared, most of the city and the robot were nowhere to be seen. But soon, the head of the robot fell to the ground, along with Shin. On the ground, a broken Shin coughs as he regains consciousness. He looks up at the head of the robot, seeing it spark and continue saying "DANGER" over and over on the computers. He turns his head to see the city he wanted to destroy, basically now a big dust flat. Shin smiles, but falls into disbelief.
"H-how did you..." he turns his head slightly to see Jenny, along with those he thought he vaporized. "How did you do it?" Jenny only smirks.
"I have friends you know. Friends that know magic," she replied.
"Shin, you are under arrest for mass murder, terrorism, and the destruction of Algiers," Vida told him.
"I'm not going down so easily," Shin retorted.
"Admit it Shin, your defeated. Now where is Danny!? I want to kill him for what he done to me earlier," Dark demanded. Jenny scans the robot head, but finds that no one is in there.
"Dangit, Vexus must've helped them escape," she said.
"You are a bad bird," Val tried to insult. Shin only laughed as he managed to stand up.
"You think your so tough!? I'll show you who's tough. I'll show you all who's tough!" At that, Shin gets his sword out. Gem charged at him and tried to punch him, but he simply grabbed her hand with his claw and spun her around in the air before kicking her back to Vida. He didn't realize that Dark was there, and she punched him, which launched him a few yards away. Shin stuck his sword into the ground to get him to stop. He was about to attack again, but his body was surrounded by a tractor beam. He struggled to free himself as he was pulled back to him, thanks to Quinn, who was in her armor mode.
"Like I said before, you are under arrest," Vida told him again. Shin tried to break free, but it was useless. He sighed as multiple Skyway Patrol airships arrived. They landed and more soldiers got out. They shocked him to death, knocking him into stasis mode and dragged him into one of the airships.
"Hey bird-brain, you suck at fighting," Scout insulted.
"Would you like a second opinion? You are also ugly," Medic added with his own insult.
"We did it though," Gem said as she got back up. "We beat the syndicate! Our worlds are saved!"
"I don't think were done just yet lad," Allyssa told them.
"What do you mean by that," Vida questioned.
"Like Jenny said, the other syndicate members are nowhere to be seen. Vexus must've teleported them all before Jenny blew up the robot...and most of Algiers," Allyssa added. Jenny sighed when she remembered that.
"But, we managed to get Shin...at least," Yılan told them.
"Your right. Let's head back to base. There are already plans drawn to rebuild Algiers thanks to the quick action of Skyway Patrol, so no worries for now. Let's get back," Allyssa said. Everyone got in one of the airships and they took off back to Skyway Patrol HQ. However, they didn't realize a few green crystals had survived the blast. And now, they begin to spread.
It is done! Woo! This seems like the end of the Shin Saga. I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. If you have ideas for the next chapter, leave a review.
