Claus groaned as he slowly opened his eyes. He placed his left hand to his face trying to remember what exactly had just happened. It was then that he noticed his right arm is broken and suddenly the memories came back. He tried to stand up only for sharp pain to shoot down his back causing him to fall back down. Gritting his teeth he once again tried to stand up this time ignoring the pain that was coming from his back. He slowly made his way out of the house he crashed into and back outside. Upon leaving he noticed that the Pigmask mother ship was no longer there and he cursed.
"Damn it, this isn't good." Claus said as he slowly started walking back toward his house. Upon arriving he opened the front door and walked inside. Shutting the door he noticed that Lucas was sitting on the couch watching TV.
Lucas upon hearing the door open turned his head to see his brother limping toward him. It was then that he noticed that Claus's metal arm was broken and his eyes widened. "Oh my god Claus, what happened?" he asked as he ran over to Claus and began helping him walk seeing as his brother looked like he was about to collapse at any second. Walking over to the couch he helped his brother sit down.
"Lucas, call everyone and tell them to meet us here. Also call Dr. Andonuts and see if he has a spare arm for me and if not ask him to make one for me."
Lucas nodded his head. "Okay, but you didn't answer my question."
"I'll explain everything when everyone gets here."
"I'll be right back." Lucas said as he started walking away while pulling out his cellphone and started dialing a number.
Claus sighed as he leaned his head back and stared at the ceiling. He started thinking about his encounter with the new commander and how ruthless he was. He remembered him calling him a traitor and he knew why he called him that. He knew that the commander's strength greatly exceeded his own and he could have easily killed him. Though he didn't understand why the commander didn't kill him seeing as though he was upset at him because he left the army to live a peaceful life.
A few minutes later Lucas had returned. "I called everyone and they're on their way over now. Dr. Andonuts has a spare arm for you so Poo is stopping by to get it. In the meantime, how are you feeling?"
"My back hurts from being hurled into a building and being blasted in the back as well."
"Let me see your back."
"Excuse me?"
"Let me see your back." Lucas repeated.
Claus groaned as he slowly stood up and turned around. When he did Lucas could see a hole in Claus's work uniform. He lifted his shirt up and he heard Lucas gasp. "What is it?"
Lucas walked over and touched Claus's back causing him to flinch. "Your back is completely scorched. I can faintly see black and blue mark underneath the scorch mark. You must be in a lot of pain."
Claus pulled his shirt down and sat back down on the couch. "I'm fine Lucas. It's nothing I can't handle."
Lucas sighed. "If you say so."
About 15 minutes later there was a knock on the door before it opened up and everyone walked in and walked over to Lucas and Claus. Poo handed Claus the arm he had been carrying. "Here you go Claus."
"Thanks." Claus said as he took the arm and attached it to his body. He started moving the arm up and down before making a fist. He then transformed the arm into a gun and he nodded his head before turning it back to normal.
"So what's going on? Why did you call us here?" Paula asked.
"Porky's back and so is the Pigmask army."
Lucas, Kumatora and Duster's eyes widened. "WHAT!?" all three of them shouted.
"Yeah, he's free from the Absolute Safety Capsule. Some weird alien guy named Fero freed him and he said that he was the one who brainwashed the Pigmasks this time. That's not all they also have a new commander who I can say for sure is dangerous and strong. He's the one did this too me. Seriously he easily ripped my arm off and destroyed it as easily as crushing a potato chip. He's way stronger then me and he can easily kill me and that's what he wants to do. I mean he called me a traitor which means that he's mad that I left the army."
"Wow, so what does this Fero guy want?" Jeff asked.
"He said something about needing the commander in order to free his master. However I have some bad news. The Pigmask army kidnapped all of the children in Tazmily Village as well as Onett."
Ninten's eyes widened when he realized what Claus had said. "Claus, where are my sisters?"
Claus looked away. "I'm sorry Ninten, but they were captured along with the others."
Ninten clenched his fists as tears started falling down from his eyes. "You bastard, WHY DIDN'T YOU PROTECT THEM!?" he screamed as he ran toward Claus only for Ana to hold him back. "Let go of me Ana! I'm going to punch his face in!"
"Ninten, please calm down. I'm sure Claus tried his best to save them." Ana said hoping her words would get through to him.
Claus nodded his head. "Yeah I really did try to help them, but the commander wouldn't let me. Look they also took Tracy too. Do you have any idea how Mrs. Anderson feels about both of her children now gone?"
"I don't understand, why would the army kidnap children?" Lucas asked.
"It's because they're going to turn them into human chimera and mostly likely brainwash them into joining the army."
Ninten began to panic at hearing this. "They're going to turn my sisters into chimera's? We have to save them right now!"
"We don't know where their hideout is. I'm sorry Ninten, but there is nothing we can do about saving them. However we can train ourselves in order to get stronger."
Ninten fell on his knees as he placed his hands on his face unable to believe what was happening. His poor sisters were going to be turned into chimera's and be forced to join an army. He never wanted to drag his sisters into that kind of life. He wanted them to live a happy life and free of violence, but it seems that destiny has other plans. "Are you telling me that I might have to fight my sisters at one point? I could never do that."
Claus sighed. "Hopefully it won't come down to that."
The Commander was sitting in between Tracy and Porky tapping his fingers on his knees. He began thinking about his encounter with the traitor. While he hated him for betraying the army there was something else about the former commander that had him conflicted, yet he couldn't figure it out. He shook his head getting the thought out of his head.
"So Commander, I have to ask you something."
"What is it Master Porky?"
"Why didn't you kill him? You said that you were going to and yet you didn't."
"You want to know why I didn't kill him? It's because he's weak. I scanned him and could tell that he let himself go. I want to kill him in a fight and I want him to last a while in order to entertain me. That's why I didn't kill him. Though hopefully he has the brain to train himself in order to become stronger."
"I see. Well do whatever you want with him. I'm more concerned about his brother."
"Ah yes, his brother. Forgive me for not seeking him out in order to kill him."
"That's alright. Now what is the status of the new chimera?"
The Commander lifted his right hand up and a holographic image of a chimera appeared out from the palm of his hand. "The Tyrants are 99% completed and should be completed as early as tomorrow."
Porky nodded his head. "Good."
"You know Porky I heard from Lucas and Claus about everything that you did. So who did you kidnap this time?" Tracy asked.
Porky smirked. "Commander take off your helmet."
Tracy watched as the Commander started taking his helmet off. When it was off her eyes widened. She was staring at none other then her brother who supposedly died 4 years ago. Tears started running down from her eyes. "Brother?"
"Brother? I'm afraid you've mistaken me for someone else. I was created in a lab so it's impossible for me to have siblings." the Commander said as he put the helmet back on. He then reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out an Ipod and put headphones into his ears before he started blasting music.
Seeing as how the Commander could no longer hear Porky took this opportunity to mock Tracy. "Well Tracy, do you like my catch? Pretty impressive huh?"
"You mean to tell me that all this time he was alive? And he's been with you?"
"Yep. We need him so we captured him simple as that."
Tracy didn't say anything else as she continued to stare at who she now knew as her brother.
About 10 minutes later the ship arrived back at the base. The Commander took his headphones out of his ears before turning his Ipod off. He then walked toward the door and exited the ship. He walked inside the building and went straight to the Cafeteria to get something to eat. As he passed by the stairs a familiar voice stopped him.
"Oh Commander you're back from your mission. Were you successful?"
The Commander turned his head and saw Fuel standing at the bottom of the stairs. He was wearing a yellow Pigmask uniform. He started observing him and saw that his left arm and right eye were mechanical. The boy was saluting him with a serious look on his face. The Commander grinned before nodding his head. "Why yes, Fuel I was successful. Thanks for asking. Are you the only one completed?"
"Yes sir. Is there anything you need me to do?"
"Yeah, we have new recruits coming in. When they enter the lab make sure that they don't try anything funny."
Fuel nodded his head. "Yes sir."
The Commander watched as Fuel started walking toward the newcomers ready to help out if needed. He then turned around and continued making his way to the Cafeteria. Upon arriving he walked over to the counter in front of the Kitchen where a Pigmask was standing there ready to take people's orders. When the Pigmask saw him he saluted.
"Good afternoon sir!"
"Good afternoon to you to. I'll take the usual."
The Pigmask nodded his head. "Give us 15 minutes and it'll be done."
"Alright." the Commander said as he walked over to a table and sat down.
15 minutes later a Pigmask walked toward him placing a plate with 4 steaks on it in front of him. "There you go sir, just how you like it."
The Commander licked his lips. "Thank you, you're dismissed."
The Pigmask saluted before walking away.
The Commander wasted no time in digging in. 4 years ago someone have made steak for dinner and he was immediately drawn in by it's smell. After tasting it steak quickly became his favorite food. He could eat it for lunch and sometimes even dinner as well. After finishing his steak he went upstairs into his bedroom. Upon entering he took his helmet off and placed it on his nightstand. He then kicked his boots off and climbed up on his bed. He reached over and picked up a remote off of the nightstand and turned on the large flat screen TV that was attached to the wall on. He then started flipping through the channels until he found something he liked on.
The Commander continued to watch TV for a couple hours when a knock was heard on his door. He sighed and put his boots and helmet back on. Walking toward the door he opened it to reveal a Pigmask saluting him. "What is it soldier?"
"Sir all of the children are completed and Master Porky wishes for you to start their training. They're already in the training room waiting for you."
The Commander sighed before nodding his head. "Alright, I'm on my way."
"See you later sir." the Pigmask said before leaving.
The Commander walked out of his room and went down the stairs to the 6th floor. Walking toward the only door he opened it and walked inside. Sure enough all of the children were there waiting for him. When they saw him they all saluted.
"Alright newcomers welcome to the training room. This floor originally had multiple rooms, but we merged them together to create one giant room. This is where you will be spending your time for the next week. Now this room can shape shift into various obstacles in order to train you. For the remaining of this day you will do physical exercises. I'm going to change this room into a obstacle course. All you have to do is complete it as fast as you can. However if you mess up on any part you must start at the beginning again. Understood?"
"Yes sir!"
The Commander nodded before walking over to a panel on the wall. He started pressing buttons before pulling a lever.
The room started to change. Various obstacles started coming out of the floor. From rock climbing courses to jumping fences spread across various parts of the room.
"Alright begin now!"
The Commander watched as the children started running toward the first obstacle which was to rock climbing. He watched as they started to climb up the small mountain. He noticed that a few kids were struggling to climb while others climbed over it easily. It was then that Fuel came across fast swinging hammers that were made of rubber. He watched as Fuel easily avoided them while the some of the other kids barely made it through like Mimmie, Minnie and Tracy. As he continued watching he noticed that Fuel made it through first with no mistakes. Next to finish was Mimmie, Minnie and finally Tracy. Everyone else had messed up multiple times and were now about half way through the course.
"Commander, how did I do?" Fuel asked as he ran up to the Commander.
"You didn't mess up once Fuel, I'm impressed. Mimmie and Tracy you messed up once. Minnie you messed up twice. You 4 can sit down and rest while we wait for the others to finish."
Fuel, Mimmie, Tracy and Minnie sat down next to the Commander.
About 15 minutes later Nichol was the last to finish as he slowly made his way to the others and collapsed on the ground.
"Hmm, must have damaged his circuits from being knocked by those hammers a lot. Oh well no pain no gain. Alright everyone I've decided that you're done for today, but tomorrow we'll make up for today, got it?"
"Yes Commander!"
"Good now I will show you to your rooms. Some of you will be paired in twos, but don't worry every room except mine has a queen sized beds so you'll have plenty of room to share. Now follow me." the Commander said as he started exiting the room with everyone else following him.
After showing the kids their rooms the Commander went back to his room. He arrived just as a Pigmask placed a large pan of baked ziti on his nightstand. The Pigmask saluted before exiting his room. The Commander walked over and began eating. Once he was done he placed the pan on a small table in the corner of the room. Walking over to the dresser underneath the TV he opened a drawer and pulled out a pair of pajamas. Setting the pajamas on the bed he removed his helmet before taking his jacket off. He then removed his boots, socks, pants and shirt. He then put his pajamas on. Climbing into his bed the Commander continued to watch TV until it was 10:00pm. After using the bathroom he went straight to bed making sure to get enough sleep for tomorrows training lesson.
