The Commander was walking up the stairs with Claus following him. He never mentioned where they were going so all Claus could do was follow silently. They ended up in front of the Chimera Lab. Walking inside they noticed that the scientist was typing something on the computer while Lucas was sitting at a desk looking some papers over. The scientist looked up and saw the Commander heading toward him.
"Ah Commander, you must be here for your weekly check up."
The Commander nodded his head. It was required that all human chimeras were to get a weekly check up to make sure that their systems are running correctly as they should be. Walking over to a machine that had wires hanging off of it he picked up the wires and started attaching them to his body. He put three on his arms, two on his legs, four on his chest and one on his forehead.
The scientist started typing on the computer attached to the machine. After pressing a button the machine came to life. The machine started sending small shocks throughout the Commanders body as it started scanning his systems. After a minute the machine turned off as the results appeared on the screen.
"Well sir, you systems are running fine as usual."
The Commander rolled his eyes as he started taking the wires off. "Of course they're running fine I'm the perfect chimera. I was built to be flawless after all." He then handed the wires to Claus.
Claus held up his hands and shook his head. "Oh no thank you, I just had a check up yesterday."
Lucas scoffed. "Liar, you haven't had a check up in 6 years." he said not even bothering to look up from what he was doing.
Claus glared at Lucas unable to believe that he told the truth. He told his brother that he always hated check ups even during his time as the Commander. He wasn't comfortable with getting shocked. The shocks weren't the kind that you get sometimes when you touch metal, but more of the tingling kind.
The Commander glared at Claus. "I despise being lied to. Just get your fucking check up and stop being such a pussy."
Claus sighed as he grabbed the wires and started attaching them to his body. The machine was turned on once again as it started to scan his body. Once done the scientist looked over the results and sighed.
"Well it seems that some of your enhancements were severely damaged to the point where they are no longer functional. We'll have to replace them."
Claus groaned. "Can you not? I don't need the enhancements."
The Commander shook his head. "Unacceptable. I don't tolerate people who are not in perfect condition. Replace what was broken. After that have the General meet me outside so we can began my assignment." with that said the Commander left the Chimera Lab.
The scientist padded the operating table. "Alright get up here."
Claus sighed. It was only the beginning of the day and it already sucked. None the less he walked over to the operating table and lay down on it.
"Okay, let us begin."
The Commander was walking up the stairs to the 14th floor where the storage rooms are located and also the place where the Tyrants were held. Walking inside he saw the rest of the scientists looking the Tyrants over.
The Tyrants were a mutation formed by different animal and alien DNA mixed into them. They were 8 feet tall. They had razor sharp teeth, a Drago's head, a body made from a muscular alien. Feet that looked like they came from a T-Rex. Dragon wings on it's back and a large tail. They had the seal detector built into them so they could find the seals by themselves. They could also shrink their size down to five feet. There were 100 Tyrants in total.
The scientists looked over and saluted once they saw the Commander. "Good morning sir!"
"Prepare the Tyrants. I want them all loaded up into the Pork Beans in one hour."
"Yes Commander!" the scientists said as they activated the Tyrants.
The Tyrants came to life as they looked down to the Commander. They were all programmed to listen to the Commander's orders and only his.
"Listen up Tyrants. I want you to follow the scientists to the Pork Beans into pairs of two. Once inside you will wait there. When everyone is set to go you will be sent to your assigned locations. Remember those of you who are paired up with a human must follow them everywhere they go."
The Tyrants nodded their heads as they shrank down before following the scientists out of the storage room.
The Commander watched them leave before he left to go gather the forces together.
"Okay you can wake up now."
Claus opened his eyes as he slowly sat up. He looked at his chest to see a new scar that was made. Shaking his head he put his shirt back on before hopping off of the operating table. "How long was I out?"
"Only 30 hours."
Claus's eyes widened. "What 30 hours!? Oh god the Commander is going to kill me!"
"Just kidding, you've been out 30 minutes."
Claus sighed with relief. "Oh thank god, don't scare me like that. Well thanks for repairing my systems. Now if you'll excuse me I better take my leave before the Commander gets impatient. See you later Lucas." he said before leaving.
Claus exited the Chimera Lab as he started heading downstairs. He then began to think about his job today. He was to prevent the people from his village from getting involved with the Commander. He knew that everyone would be angry especially those who had their son or daughter taken away from them. To be honest he knew that it would be hard to keep everyone calm and he hoped that he wouldn't have to resort to violence because that's the last thing that he wants.
Claus continued walking until he reached outside. There he saw everyone all who were gathered in a group. He saw the Commander by the mother ship and walked over and stood by his side.
The Commander coughed loudly gaining everyone's attention. "Alright everyone it's time to begin our duty for day. Each of you will be assigned a specific location and will begin your search for the seals there. Whoever finds a seal will make a note of it's location and bring it to me. Now I'm not expecting you to find some seals, but if you do then report it to the General. Each of you will have 3 Tyrants with you so make it worth it. Now if you run into any resistance do whatever it takes to stop them even if that means killing them. Do you all understand?"
"Yes sir!"
"Good when you finish your search report to the General and head back on over here. Alright General rally the troops."
Claus nodded his head. His inner commanding personality came out as he started leading the children into Pork Beans. He then watched as the Pork Beans floated in the air before taking off. Turning around his jaw dropped when he saw the Commander lifting a giant submarine. He couldn't believe what he was seeing, that submarine had to weigh at least about 30,000 pounds or maybe even more and yet the Commander was lifting it without struggling. He walked over to the Commander and stood next to him.
"How much does that weigh?"
"38,000 pounds."
"How in the hell are you lifting that?"
"I have muscle enhancers in my arms which allow me to lift up to 40,000 pounds, 20,000 per arm."
Claus knew the Commander was strong, but he didn't think he was this strong. If the Commander could lift that much weight then he was clearly holding his strength back during their fight. If the Commander used his full strength then he could snap a person's body in half as easily as snapping a twig. He also has a muscle enhancer in his arm, but that only allows him to lift 500 pounds.
This quickly proves the difference in strength between the Commander and Claus. The Commander was clearly the superior chimera between the two of them and clearly was the most deserving as the tile of commander.
Claus then began to wonder what would have happened had he didn't gain his memory back and was still with the army. Would he still be the commander or would this guy have replaced him. Would he have been given the same enhancements as him or would he have remained the same. He didn't know nor did he want to know. He's glad that he got his memory back and he will stop at nothing to get the Commander his memory back. He suddenly felt a tap on his shoulder and looked up to see the Commander staring at him.
"Ready to go?" he asked.
Claus noticed that the mother ship was in the air with the submarine tied by lots of rope underneath it. He watched as the Commander started climbing up a rope latter before he started following him. Once inside he pulled the latter inside and shut the door before the ship took off.
Arriving at Tazmily Village the mother ship descended until the submarine touched the water. The Commander opened the door and hopped out landing on top of the submarine. He started untying the rope before tossing it on land. It was then that he noticed the villagers coming out of their homes with angry expressions on their faces.
"Hey, how dare you show up here!"
"Return my daughter to me at once!"
"Hey General it time for that crowd control!"
Claus nodded his head as he jumped out of the ship and landed on the submarine. He then jumped on land and walked over to the crowd drawing out his sword and pointing it at the crowd. "Back off."
Everyone stopped and stared at Claus with shocked expressions on their faces.
Seeing that Claus had everything handled the Commander hopped inside the submarine and started it up. The submarine started sinking before going completely under water.
As soon as the submarine was gone Claus sighed as he put his sword away.
"Claus, what is the meaning of this? Why are you with him? And where's Fuel?"
"Where's my Nana?"
"Yeah, and my son Nichol!"
Claus sighed as he rubbed the back of his head. "One at a time please."
"Claus?"
Claus frowned as he saw his father push through the crowd until he was standing in front of him. "Dad."
"You called me dad. So you aren't brainwashed?"
Claus shook his head. "No, I'm not. I'm very aware of what I am doing."
"By that outfit you're wearing I would assume that your part of the army? So why did you join the army after everything they did to you?"
"The Commander killed Lucas so I made a deal to join the army in order to bring him back to life as a chimera. It worked and now Lucas and I work for the army."
"Lucas is there too?"
"Yes. As for the children they were turned into chimera's and brainwashed. Trust me I don't like it anymore then you do."
"What!? They turned Fuel into a chimera? Unforgivable. When he comes back up I'll give him a piece of my mind."
"Just leave it be Lighter. Fuel is doing just fine. The Commander will kill you without hesitation. Look I'll figure out something. For now just stay out of it okay?"
"Fine."
"Thank you."
The Commander was traveling underwater looking for the seals location. He was using the radar to try and find it's exact location. The signal seemed to lead him to a small cave underneath the island. Traveling through it he soon came across a spot where he could surface. Heading up there he soon rose to the surface. He opened the hatch and saw that he was in an underground plateau underneath the island. He was surprised to say the least. It was then that he saw a giant black dragon which appeared to be sleeping. Getting out of the submarine the Commander walked over to the dragon and stared at it's face.
Suddenly the dragon's eyes snapped opened and it stood up staring at the Commander. "Who are you? How did you even get here?"
The Commander pointed at the submarine. "That's how. Hmm, a dragon underneath Nowhere Island, you must be the legendary Dark Dragon am I right?"
"Yes and who might you be? Did you come to steal my power?"
"I am the commander of the Pigmask army and no I'm not here for you. I actually came here for some sort of seal."
"The only thing down here is that crystal ball thing up ahead. It gives off a nasty aura so I stay away from it. Why do you want to know?"
"I'm here to destroy it."
"Fine be my guest. I tried to destroy it but it didn't work."
"That's because only I can destroy it. Now if you'll excuse me I'm off to destroy it."
The Commander turned around and walked away. After walking for a few minutes he came across a black crystal ball with black aura surrounding it. He figured that this was one of the seals that Fero was talking about. Raising a finger he was about to preform PSI Rockin when the seal started shaking.
A black mist came out of the seal and moved toward the commander. The mist started altering before taking on the shape of a giant bull carrying a battle ax. The bull roared before slamming it's foot on the ground.
The Commander drew out his swords and lit them on fire. This was completely unexpected. Fero never told him that a monster would show up. Narrowing his eyes he ran up to the bull and slashed both of his swords only for the bull to block it.
The bull swung it's ax at the Commander only for it to bounce off of his body doing no damage.
The Commander laughed. "Sorry buddy, but physical attacks and weaponry have no effect on me. Try using PSI."
The bull snapped it's fingers as PSI Thunder started surrounding the ax's blade. The bull swung the ax as lightening bolts shot out toward the Commander.
The Commander dodged the lightening bolts before charging toward the bull shooting out flames streams at the bull.
The Bull spun the ax around in attempt to block the flames.
However the flames spread apart and moved behind the bull before hitting it in the back.
The Commander used this chance to cut both of the bulls arms off causing the ax to fall on the ground. He then cut the bull in half vertically as it disappeared in a puff of smoke. He put his swords away before walking over to the seal he lifted his fingers up. "PSI Rockin Omega." a spiral of red, blue and yellow energy shot out and hit the crystal ball causing it to crack before shattering.
The ground started to rumble violently for a minute before stopping. The Commander looked around before shrugging and headed back toward the submarine.
Claus was sitting by the water waiting for the Commander to come back when the ground started shaking causing him to fall on his back. The shaking lasted for only a minute before stopping. "What the fuck was that?" it was then that he saw the submarine resurface before the hatched opened and the Commander climbed out.
"Well mission complete General we can head back now."
"Okay and what about the submarine?"
The Commander deployed his wings and picked up the submarine. He flew over to land and slammed the submarine on the ground snapping it in half. He then flew over to Claus and grabbed him by the arm before tossing him inside the mother ship. He then flew inside the ship before retracting his wings and slamming the door shut as the ship took off.
The ship arrived back at the base and landed on the ground before the door opened up and the Commander stormed out and walked inside.
Claus walked out of the ship and followed the Commander wondering what he was so pissed about.
The Commander kicked the meeting room door open and stormed inside. He glared at Fero. "First seal is destroyed. Now mind telling me why your master's seal created a monster that tried to kill me?"
"My guess is for protection, I really don't know. However you completed your task and that's good."
"Yeah, I'm jumping for joy. Now I'm heading back to my room for the rest of the day, don't bother me." the Commander said before storming away.
The Commander walked inside his room and took his boots off before pulling off his socks. His metal foot clanked as it touched the ground. He then took his helmet off before placing it on the nightstand. He then walked inside the Bathroom.
Claus was walking up the stairs and toward the Commander's room carrying a tray with steak on it. The chef sensing the chilling aura that entered the building knew the Commander was in a bad mood and made steak since it was the Commander's favorite and it always put him in a good mood. Upon arriving he opened the door and noticed that the Commander had removed his helmet. Walking over to the table in the room he set the plate down just as he heard a door open. Claus turned around and his eyes widened when he saw who the Commander really was. "Ness."
The Commander glared at Claus. "What are you doing in my room? I didn't give you permission to be- is that steak I smell?" The Commander suddenly smiled as he walked over to the table and picked up the tray that held the steak and began eating. "Yum, just what I need to lift my spirits up."
Claus couldn't believe it. The Commander was really Ness all along. After 4 years of praying that Ness was really alive he finally felt relief. Claus felt like he was about to cry so he quickly walked out of the Commander's room and into his own. Walking over to the bed he sat down on the ground with his back against the bed. He pulled his knees to his chest as he finally sobbed unable to handle his emotions anymore.
