Chapter 46
The Anophyst Escapade
They stopped warping through space, and finally stumbled upon The land of Melequis, Nasfer. Eidolon saw a bunch of ships land and some standing guard, as some of them swarmed Nesc by storm. Within seconds, Eidolon was barely able to get through the crowd, but now as they see Eidolon, they began aiming everywhere on him, wanting to know why he was here. Nesc gave out an order to stand down, and they all put their aim downwards to the ground, and gone back to their posts. One of them mentioned that the team was already there, and the Melequis agreed to not turn them into mindless zombies, because of their eternal thanks to the Cedran.
"You found him yet?" Nesc asked.
The Acolyte nodded and proceeded into the gate of Nasfer, as Eidolon followed the Acolyte himself without no hesitation. Nesc also followed and held out his axe. When other eyes saw it's sharp blade, it was mind threatening, to see that one of their own was holding a weapon on Sacred grounds. They finally found a square on the ground, near an isolated area with the sun shining like lasers, and the ground radiating like glimmering ponds. Then the Acolyte called out; "You know what to do" and the citizen pulled the lever and the trapdoor came from below them, and made them fall into a lit area, where they saw a grey pebble, having electricity flowing through it.
"Nesc? Is that really you?" Vekar asked.
"In the flesh Vekar." Nesc happily said. "I have been doing fine."
"Care to explain how thousands of your troops just stormed in and began swarming around Lvret's Erilian friend?" Vekar said in a low tone?
"I need to make sure he does not hurt anyone." Nesc replied. "However, I am very sure he is going to kill me first before I even have a chance, and that is why some of my friends are here."
"Wait, Where is Feria and Ytrian?" Eidolon asked.
"Back where the Acolytes can handle them." Nesc answered.
"Ack, just follow me, Maybe you can pull it off." Vekar demanded.
They were now so close to finishing Nesc's intent, but the problem was, Could they do it in time? Nesc experienced first hand how easily he could take down a target, and he was only using a portion.
"Any thing you might know him by?" Eidolon asked.
"Dragon, black, desolation powers, hard skinned, calm, ongoing, will do it if it benefits others." Nesc explained.
"Wait..." Eidolon said with shock. "Did you say a Dragon that is Black?"
"Pretty much." Nesc said. "Know him?"
"No, but I did hear Equinox mention him. I seen him before, and your description doesn't quite match what I saw." Eidolon replied. "At least not the artificial intelligence that is with me when I was reconstructed."
"Are you one of the Acron?" Nesc asked. "Just wondering."
"What is that? Some alien race? I do not know what you are talking about." Eidolon answered.
"You sound like you was reconstructed as a machine, am I correct?" The Acolyte named Qalurat asked.
"Minority is true. Mind has some knowledge that I got when I first stood up, anything else was just pure me, Eidolon." Eidolon joked.
"You got anything on him?" Nesc asked nicely.
"Yes, but I do have this last report." Eidolon stated. "It reads: -We saw a strange looking cyborg, walking up to Akaz, as he obliterated an unknown ogre, with an unknown origin. We captured them all, Including the Sevawings, but it seemed so Futile, as they escaped with the help of other Cyborgs. They all seemed like acquaintances to each other, including our new recruit, Enazar Akuon. They all aided in their escape.-"
"Anything else?" Nesc demanded.
"Yes, one second.." Eidolon responded. "-We sensed a strange darkness, and we all felt empty, and was being destroyed from the inside. It was no virus, but some kind of magical aura that was almost vice versa to our first success of bringing back the past, Eidolon. On that day, There were estimated three hundred dead, before the cause of the lost lives arrived. It was what Equinox said, Rhenka's son, and her son, Akazan Thadrae.-"
"What the... He somehow has a kill aura..." Nesc concluded.
"No, It is his mind that controls it, and he might of accidentally thought, kill someone..." Eidolon thought out loud. "But who?"
"Probably his own enemy." Eidolon guessed.
Soon murmurs began coming to their senses, as they started to hear: "You got his jaw?", "Can he escape?" , "That was easier than I thought" From multiple Acolytes. Nesc knew that he was close to his newfound goal, Protect everybody from harm, something that Arianas did not think at first hand. Eidolon walked ahead, and saw him being held down, as he shown no sign of resistance, almost like he was just allowing it. Suddenly, Eidolon heard a little voice from his mind, or what he thought was a ghost.
Eidolon, Something is coming, Tell your friends to watch out for anything suspicious.
That gave him a grave warning, that made him hustle back, and tell Nesc about that phantom voice, so that they may be aware. Then the phantom voice spoke again, being now a similar voice, a very familiar one as well. Tell him it is not him, Something is really coming... It was sounding like Talya, but is it true she is dead? Or, is she using some kind of artifact to speak to him, and another to see into the future? This baffled Eidolon, but once he reached Nesc and Vekar, he did what the ghostly voice told him to do.
"Watch out, There is a chance of us all being obliterated or captured right now!" Eidolon warned.
"Oh by Akaz? Yeah, I knew that." Nesc replied.
"No! It is not him! It is coming really fast!" Eidolon warned again.
"And who told you that?" "You know that Melequis has the strongest defenses and second to best offense." Vekar said.
"Talya..." Eidolon said.
"Must be a lie. Let me at him." Nesc said.
"Oh well, waste your life as we all know it. Sealing him away is not going to stop a predicted tragedy." Eidolon said.
Nesc walked up to the crowd, being surprised that his unit actually captured him, although he did not see any weapons, only hands, arms and silence. The Templar jumped into the cage, and landed with no weapons in his hand. His target seemed harmless, yet he was not fooled, as they both knew that both of them meant trouble. He looked around him, as he looked like he was asleep or almost half awake at the least. Even though he was being held down with a ton of force, he still managed to not wake up, like he was a heavy sleeper. Akaz however knew it was him, and unlike Talya, knew exactly who was coming, as one eye gave him the knowledge that it was the Acron ready to invade. He had to buy himself time so that he could escape, but for the greater good, regardless if he is sealed away or not.
"Above you." Akaz tried to divert his attention. "You are forgetting that your enemy is right at your doorstep."
"Be quiet. Your massacre ends now." Nesc spoke.
"What are you talking about..." Akaz asked.
"You killed almost 300 people when you entered." Nesc stated.
"I might know this, but it was the criminal's fault for corrupting their mind." Akaz said with a calm tone.
"Huh?" Eidolon questioned.
"Only reason why they died is because my aura is like the Sentient tower, start ridding the unpure from my presence." Akaz explained. "But hey, a very mechanical warship broke the barrier, so you might want to do your thing that you did earlier. Heh. Heh."
"We got to hurry now! He is speaking the truth!" Eidolon warned.
Suddenly, rumbles came from the sky, as wind started coming from the sky, and Akaz's gaze at the sky was blocked by a Acron warship. A ton of Cyborgs crashed down, and a stasis field gone down and captured them all, without any hesitation. When the Warship lifted off, they were all lifted, suspended in midair, as they saw the huge invasion, and the comms were now jammed. Fire was spreading everywhere, and explosions filled the air. They were finally lifted on board, and then they all were lifted onto the big floor, being as hot as fire, and as unforgiving as pure torture.
"Now we are talking... The Commander and a Erilian. Best day ever." The Cyborg said. "You shall all suffer with full force."
Done, 4 chapters left. Lets go!
