Sorry this one is shorter than I wanted it to, and it took a while to load. I've been working on chapters for all chapter stories instead of one at a time. So, enjoy the end to this one!
The Quest for the Gearmaster
Chapter 5
The Power of Madness
Gearmaster made the Goliath stomped on the ground, attempting to intimidate Lu and Max.
"Lu." Max whispered.
"Yea?"
"Take the left side, I'll take the right." Max said. Lu nodded. The two slowly moved to Gearmaster's left and right sides. Max aimed his gun at the mech, switching it to plasma rounds. The bolts hit the Goliath with ferocious force. He blocked most of them with the energy shield, which was starting to glow faintly. Lu attacked the right side, and tore a hole into the Goliath with Excalibur. Gearmaster swung the right arm at Lu, hit him, and sent him crashing into a already damaged tree. The impact split the tree in two. Max jumped at the Goliath and grabbed onto it. Gearmaster swung the arms around, trying to throw him off. Max jammed his gun into the Goliath's side, and fired.
"Gah!" Gearmaster yelled. He managed to aim his mini guns at Max. He shot Max off of the Goliath. Max fell down onto the ground, and Gearmaster stomped on him. "Time to die, Max!" He charged the Goliath's left arm, and aimed it at Max's head. Before he fired, something tore through the Goliath's chest. It was Excalibur. Lu pulled the sword out of the mech. The Goliath stumbled around for a few moments, and then collapsed. Gearmaster was ejected from the destroyed mech. He struggled to get up. "Damn it!" Gearmaster cursed. Max turned his arm back to normal.
"Alright, Gearmaster, your terroristic ways are at an end. Any last words?" Max asked. Gearmaster scoffed.
"Sure. Take a look behind you." Max and Lu turned around. 20 people in black suits of armor stood behind them. They had pole arms on their back, and all held heavy looking chain guns. "Meet the Shadow Guard. A gift from some friends in high places. There are more, just these 20 were given to me. They were bored sitting around, so I let them have fun with the nearby town." A few bus-like vehicles were nearby. "Oh, by the way, all of the townspeople and their Pokemon are in there. Now, I take my leave." Gearmaster put his hand out , and a big portal opened. The Shadow Guard entered the vehicles. They drove into the portal, and disappeared. Gearmaster walked to it.
"Wait! Where does that portal go?" Max asked. Gearmaster smiled.
"Why don't you find out? See you soon." Gearmaster went through the portal. It stayed open several minutes after that.
"I think I have to go through there." Max said. Lu grabbed his arm.
"Not without me. You can't do this alone." Zoroark showed up.
"But what about the Order?" He asked Lu.
"Take control until I get back. Don't worry, I'm sure we'll be fine." He hugged his friend. "Be strong man. I'm sure we'll come back ok." Lu walked towards the portal.
"You don't have to do this, Lu." Max said.
"Yes, I do." the two turned to the portal. Max took a deep breath.
"Let's go. We have an asshole to find." The stepped through the portal.
The end.
More to come. A MAJOR path cross.
