-Rebirth of the Guardians – the long awaited sequel to chapter 5.
Chapter 6 – The Gael
So I can get this out of the way…
-Ahem- DECEMBER FIFTH INTERNATIONAL DAY OF THE NINJA, CELEBRATE IT
Blunt, but exactly what I plan to do. Now you should too.
That was NOT copied directly from chapter 3…
And what about tom and reddy, they both thought odd things last chapter. I have hinted at what reddy really is, just not insinuating him. (Hint: All you need to know is…) And tom, well he's not the same thing as reddy.
-Begin-
Running straight towards the Gael Fury focusing solely on the small green stone he had seen once in his mind he thoughtlessly evaded fire. The pilot must have caught something because his attacks were much more accurate now. Tom didn't even take time to curse his luck as missiles missed him by a hairs width. Nor did he take time to curse his luck as he discovered the wings had multiple laser beam firing mini-turrets which had amazingly precise accuracy. Tom still evaded each attack his eyes closed his mind focused on a single glowing green object. He opened his eyes, and then every mental barrier broke.
Moving at speeds believed only to be possible by a lightning saix and evading hundreds of missiles and lasers shot by the Gael fury. However despite a 10 to 12 fold in increase of skill and power on tom's part the Gael fury's pilot had that much more latent skill in him too. Each move was a move right into the path of a missile or laser beam. But nothing hit. Each pilot had the skill and the focus to end the match in one attack but neither could. Tom however reached his objective first.
In town he reached a series of several building which came surprisingly close to the Gael fury. Tom hopped up each one until he came to the street and the highest building. Then he and his command wolf leapt. Aiming for the wing of the zoid with the boosters on over-drive and the super customized command wolfs natural speed pushed to the max it wasn't and impossible dream. Until the edges of each wing were revealed to have a sharp chain running along them. Tom didn't even try to make it he simply turned down towards the ground and deactivated his boosters once he was safe. As quickly as possible he came about in a loop towards the tower of buildings. The Gael fury pointed at the spot where tom would jump from and began charging a charged particle beam. Tom ran activating his boosters at the bottom. Pressing four buttons on the command panel to allow for his plan to work tom opened the cockpit hatch and un-locked his safety he stood up in a semi crouch ready to jump.
"Partner, I doubt I'll make it through this, so I hope you do." He said. I'm just a relic from an older age which has revealed its knowledge. I don't need to live. Reddy, John, you my zoid. All of you are of the current age and need to help it progress. I would like to live and play my part out further, but since my most important role is done… Tom closed his eyes as he made the jump. "I CAN PUT EVERYTHING EVEN MY VERY LIFE INTO THIS ONE ATTACK!" Tom shouted.
Although he was not a caring or interested person the Gael fury pilot noted that his foe was a person with conviction. He would respect the man called the Ghost fox but who was so much more.
"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" Tom shouted at a broadsword appeared in his hand with a white flash. The Charged particle beam fired. Tom was right in the path; with a focus that not even death itself could deter Tom made a slice and knocked attack aside. "I WILL HELP THE PEOPLE OF THE FUTURE! THAT IS THE ROLE OF THOSE WHO'S TIME HAS PAST!" He said as he made a mark in the Zoids hide that looked like an upper case letter 'A' with the middle line a little large and a slight curve on each line. He was in the zoid. Just where he had planned to get on the back of the zoid and blast a hole into. In front of his was the Gael stone, visible in the center of the crystalline zoid core. Tom ignored it; he was getting the pilot to change his course to somewhere where he could be more potent.
Meanwhile Reddy and John arrived in the base in time to shout out, "There's a massive Zenebas army on the horizon tell you're generals to prepare a counter offensive to fight back!" And then once that was done, "Now we're going to help Tom!" As quickly volunteers of, Perrone, Fred, Oliver, Devon, Bekah and Relena prepared to go save their hero. Everyone else stayed behind to stand their ground and hold the attacking Zenebas army as long as they could if not long enough for tom to return.
The group, with two people in a storm sworder, and three in both the blade liger and reddler went off, everyone armed ready to save the person who meant very much to them.
Tom arrived in the pilots cockpit, when asked to surrender the pilot had a question for him, "Will you let me run and tell the story of the Zenebas defeat?"
Tom looked at the man. A gun and handcuffs in his two hands. "Fine."
"Thank you, I pray that with this the events to come will never come to pass again."
"What did I give you a revelation?" Tom said without emotion.
"Yes."
"Then do me a favor, I can't use a single weapon on this zoid the cockpit is so alien, tell me which buttons to push and head me in the direction of the nearest Zenebas Ultrasaurus."
With a few buttons pushed all of this was done. "I hope I'll meet you in the future sir."
"I doubt I'll survive, but I will try and if I succeed then so do I."
The pilot walked out of the cockpit. "I know where to go, I'll get out and run, if they think I'm just a civilian I'll be fine."
Tom didn't care he was in the cockpit learning about the zoid as fast as he could, he was planning on taking out an Ultrasaurus.
The pilot landed on the ground a few minutes later. He had been wearing a flight outfit that covered his entire head. When he took it off upon landing he looked strikingly similar to tom overall. "I pray that you succeed those Zenebas monsters ruled over my life in an attempt to kill you. I was their ultimate weapon made from the purest genes of the intelligent humans and the purest genes of the wise and noble Zoidians. I hope you will render my existence insignificant so I can move on and maybe be normal."
Some time later the Gael fury appeared over the attacking Zenebas army seeming as if their god had come to shine praises on them. Then it began attacking them with everything, ripping apart thousands of Zoids with its several minute constant assault ending in a massive charged particle cannon through the middle of the enemy force. Then the zoid went soaring towards an Ultrasaurus at the back of the group. Firing its weapons towards the Ultrasaurus, some shots hitting, some missing. Then there was a line opened. A face appeared, recognizing it as the face of the normal pilot the General Sammael (he's back) shouted, "12519 what are you doing attack your own units! Stop this now damnit!"
Tom grinned, "I'm not '12519' I'm hell itself ready to ravage your assault. The past has come back to haunt you. You should know this if you've researched the Gael fury legends thoroughly enough."
"The beast was finally taken down by a champion of great might. At which time it was used by that champion as the greatest weapon against our enemies. The light of the mother shone brightly upon our foes that day."
-Zoidian record, 'the Gael chronicles, the final chapter'-
Heading straight towards the Ultrasaurus tom began to charge of the Charged particle cannon. Once he was ready the Gael Fury's speed doubled.
On the open channel shouts of, "12519 what the hell are you doing!?!" Could be heard. Tom ignored them He charged at the head of the Ultrasaurus, and making a small prayer for those already dead and those about to die tom fired the charged particle cannon immediately after impacting the Ultrasaurus. The explosion that resulted dissolved everything for miles around.
(End of the sub-plot)
Elsewhere the self appropriated 'rescue squad' had run into tom's command wolf which was lumbering along. With John and Perrone shifting to it from their overcrowded zoid cockpits in the reddler and Blade liger they realized the command wolf had been set on auto pilot all the way to Mount St. Helens. It had a written message recorded onto it. One from tom.
I'm just a relic from an older age which has revealed its knowledge. I don't need to live. Reddy, John, you my zoid. All of you are of the current age and need to help it progress. I would like to live and play my part out further, but since my most important role is done…
That was the message's text. It ended there. But there was a voice part too, "I CAN PUT EVERYTHING EVEN MY VERY LIFE INTO THIS ONE ATTACK!"
Then they saw the explosion of the Ultrasaurus.
-End-
Aww… The hero makes a noble sacrifice. Or does he? Read the next chapter to find out. (Spoiler alert, do not select the following text unless you have read my other Zoids fic dysfunctional families) Because you know he didn't because I said so at the beginning of the chapter and have included tom in Dysfunctional families.
Anyways this is the last chapter for our guessing game so someone better guess. PLEASE GUESS SOMEONE!
Random notes, Sammael dies there in that explosion. He never was important he just alluded to more important stuff. Also I ended the sub-plot, which was the resurrection of the Gael fury, the ancient evil zoid that could do something big in the wrong hands. Yep, that was it.
And I wrote the last 3/4th's of this chapter while listening to the .hack//gu song "Gentle hands" which sounds a lot like the end of a video game theme where the hero beats his enemy because he has found his purpose in whatever it is he is doing. This is how I feel about this chapter. So I think the music fits perfectly. And as an aside, that attack he does to the side of the zoid is the tri-edge attack from .hack//gu. Which is just a side effect of listening to that song so much.
