Disintegrate by Androidfish7

Later that day

Blake and Isack arrived back home, as Blake stepped off the boat. Blake then proceeded to enter Caldon's workshop. "Blake! How did the mission go? Do you have time to help work on the AV 22 WAR Osprey Gunship?" Caldon asked. "Yeah, I do. What have you done so far?" Blake asked. "I've installed both Vulcans, got the engine working, loaded it up with gas, poured countless millions on it in my life, and lost 3 wives while building it. Ready to help?" Caldon asked. "Yeah, I think I am. All this thing needs is an armor reboot and some flighters (Military term for 'wings') and it's sky worthy." Blake said. "Well, let's get to it!" Caldon exclaimed. At the moment, the Admiral entered the workshop. "Blake, when you get done here, please come find me? We need to discuss something" Admiral said. "Yeah, sure, sounds good" Blake said, as they got to work.

5 hours later:

Blake put the final nails into the wings. This AV 22 WAR Osprey Gunship was now air worthy. "My life's work is complete! Yeah!" Caldon cried out in joy. "Well, sounds like we got a killing machine ready to fly. Now, I gotta go, I'm sure you have more things of your own to tend to." Blake said. "No no no no! That AV 22 WAR Osprey Gunship is the completion of my life! There is no more for me than this!" Caldon exclaimed. "Alright... Sure, have fun with it" Blake said, as Blake went to greet the Admiral, who was outside of the building. "Hello Admiral" Blake said. "Blake, we're 1 step away from eliminating The Commander. All there's left to do is strike down his defenses, and we will have his head tomorrow." Admiral said. "I'm assuming the castle is heavily guarded?" Blake said. "Of course! We're not gonna walk in there without having to kill, and a lot. But first, for this AV 22 WAR Osprey Gunship to be able to do it's job, we need you to disable their defenses. At the castle, The Commander has 4 Patriot Missile Systems. These will have the AV 22 WAR Osprey Gunship, along with the remains of Caldon's sanity, flaming and crashing in seconds. We need you to disable these in anyway possible. It's not gonna be easy, but I know you can do it." Admiral said. "I will do my damndest." Blake said. "Excellent, but you've had a pretty full day, I'd suggest you do this at midnight, under cover of dark, which isn't for 4 and a half hours now. Go talk to Isack at midnight, and this will do it. We can overthrow this corrupt dictatorship and eliminate your high value target all in 1 day." Admiral said. "Awesome, I will be sure to do this." Blake said. "Would you come meet me at the bar too? I have something I'd like to say" Admiral said, as Blake and Admiral both walked to the bar.

At the bar, Pittee, Despear, Miseree, and Komona were holding small glasses of whiskey. Admiral picked up a glass. "In honor of Blake Winger, and all the service he has done for the Loyalist Community." Admiral said, as everyone took part in a cheers, and everyone drank their glass, including Blake. After that, the group took part in small talk until midnight, when Blake had to go.

Blake greeted Isack. "Looks like this is it? Good, I've had it with Caldon yammering about that Gunship, it sounds like that guy is obsessed with that thing!" Isack exclaimed. "Hey, come on, be compassionate, that man has lost 36 years, 3 wives, and millions of dollars building that thing, and it's about to help us in a big way. Just keep your mouth shut about it." Blake said, as Isack shrugged, and they were away.

2 and a half hours later:

Blake and Isack arrived at an island, apparently the island with the Commander of Acid in it, because the clouds were darker than a Massochist's nightmare, and the waters were stormy, so Isack had to be careful navigating. When they arrived, Isack told Blake some troubling news. "I think I've come down with the plague. I can feel it. This is our last boat ride together" Isack said. "I'm sorry to hear that." Blake said. "What's going to suck worst is becoming a Weeper and dying like that." Isack said, as Isack showed Blake a series of rat bites alongside his arm. Isack was going to die of the plague. Blake took a look into Isack's eyes and saw the bloodshot of plague victims. Blake then took out The Avenger. Blake impaled Isack, and mercy killed him, so he didn't become a Weeper. "You were a good guy Isack." Blake said. Blake then got off the boat and onto the island. Blake saw heavily armored and armed Town Watch Guards patrolling the area, especially the area around the Patriot Missile Systems. Blake knew that if the Guards sounded the alarm, the Commander of Acid would have time to escape. All of a sudden, Blake heard a familiar voice. "Hello Blake." Blake then turned around. "What the hell are you doing here?" Blake exclaimed. It was Karie on a boat with Eugene. "See! I told you I was the best navigator around!" Eugene exclaimed. "Blake, you've been gone way too long, we all got worried!" Karie exclaimed. "Have I ever NOT been just fine? God dammit you two. Well, I'm not turning you back, so just stay with me and BE QUIET" Blake said, as Karie and Eugene followed Blake. Blake saw 2 Town Watch Guards along with several Tallboys and an Arc Pylon near the Patriot Missile Systems. "I got it" Karie said, taking out a M82A2 sniper rifle. "What the hell are you doing? I said be quiet!" Blake exclaimed, as Karie put it away. "Aye. I think I know what to do" Eugene said, as he took out a Hunter Crossbow of his own. "Perfect. Karie, do you have the Love Maker?" Blake asked. Karie took it out. "I don't go anywhere without it" Karie said. "Alright, guys, Eugene and I'll take out the Guards, Karie you aim for the Tallboys. And you have to hit them in the spot with the oil tanks or it's no good." Blake said, as the group got ready. It went smoothly, as no alarm was rung, and Karie's master precision made quick work of the Tallboys. "Alright, move up, the Missile systems shouldn't be far" Blake said, as they approached the Missile systems. Blake found and disarmed 3 of the Missile Systems, and would've disarmed the 3rd, but then 2 more Town Watch Guards appeared "Crap! Hide!" Blake said, as the group concealed themselves in shadows. "Dammit, someone's down. Get on the loudspeaker, we don't need the alarm though... Not yet." the Guard said, as the other Guard walked out of the room to complete this task. Blake slipped out from the shadows and slit the Guard's throat, and disarmed the last Missile System. "Okay, good, now what?" Karie asked. "We wait until our 'friend' shows up" Blake said. Just as Karie was about to ask who this was, Blake heard something. "That would be our friend" Blake said, as the AV 22 WAR Osprey Gunship began to spin onto the scene. All of a sudden, Blake someone jump out of the thing, and the AV 22 WAR Osprey Gunship began to spin up. Some Town Watch Guards left their posts, but they were annihilated by the 2 Vulcans easily shredding them through. Blake could hear Caldon maniacally laughing, as there were many alarms being rang. "God dammit! He's gonna get away! We gotta move!" Blake exclaimed, as the group moved. They came up onto a large, tall, 5,000 foot long tower. Blake could see a sign on the top of it, that read "COMMANDER'S CHAMBERS". "You guys! I have to fly! Try to meet me at the top!" Blake exclaimed, as Karie and Eugene began to sprint up the spiral staircase. Blake flew and crashed through the window. There, Blake finally came face to face with the Commander of Acid! "Why Blake... So nice of you to visit!" The Commander said, as she, running faster than anyone Blake had ever seen, sprinted out of the room, and into a long, rocky hallway, with no walls. All there was to be seen was a long, skinny hallway, WITH NO WALLS, and a long, 5,000 foot drop to a rocky wasteland. "Come! Let us finish this!" the Commander exclaimed, as the Commander unsheathed a 2 Toxic Katanas, Katanas with horrid after math and even wicked-er strike. Blake took out The Avenger. "Time to die!" Blake said, as they met each other halfway through the hallway. Blake got the first strike, striking the Commander in the side with The Avenger. However, since Blake had not been wounded, the strike did not do a lot of damage, as the Commander counter struck. All of a sudden, the door Blake had entered was busted down. Karie and Eugene had finally made it up the tower. Eugene shot at the Commander with the Hunter Crossbow, but the bolt missed. "Haha! Think you have me outnumbered? Think again!" The Commander exclaimed, as the Commander took a leap back, all the way to the edge of the cliff. Blake dashed up and swung, but missed with The Avenger, and the Commander counter struck, and this blow hit, slicing at Blake's right arm, the arm holding The Avenger, with the Toxic Katanas. Blake then struck back, and having taken a blow, The Avenger did a little more damage. Eugene than took out a small Broad Sword and charged at the Commander of Acid, as Karie stayed back and tried to fire the Love Maker. But then, Karie was ambushed from behind, but there was no escape, as the person who ambushed had a Toxic Dagger to Karie's throat. "Eugene!" Karie called out, as Eugene turned around. It was the Admiral. The Commander stopped fighting and smiled evilly. "Surrender or the girl gets it" the Commander demanded. "What?" Blake said, as he turned around. Blake's eyes widened. "Admiral?!" Blake exclaimed. "Yes Blake. The whole Loyalist thing was a sham, we were really just prepping you up to fail. Funny thing is, it makes it so much easier that your allies have come" Admiral said."YOU #$%ER! I'LL TEAR YOU APART!" Blake exclaimed, but Blake took one step, and the Admiral turned to the cliff. "One more step and we both fall to our death!" Admiral exclaimed. Meanwhile, Eugene turned around and took an attack of opportunity against the Commander, COMPLETELY catching her off guard, as Eugene struck the Commander with the Broad Sword directly in the throat. The Commander, while now mortally wounded, picked up the Toxic Katanas and struck Blake right in the shoulder. Blake turned around and slit the Commander's throat with The Avenger, which now dealt more damage than a meteor storm, due to Karie being taken hostage. "HAVE IT YOUR WAY!" Admiral yelled, as Admiral pulled and Karie and Admiral began to fall the 5,000 foot death drop. "NO!" Blake exclaimed, as he ran after them. Blake began to spread his wings, but the AV 22 WAR Osprey Gunship spun in on them. It was going to make saving Karie impossible, as it could gun Blake down in a matter of milliseconds. "YOU!" Blake yelled, but no matter how Blake looked at it, nothing could be done for Karie. Blake soared after the AV 22 WAR Osprey Gunship, and before the Vulcans could turn on Blake, Blake flew into the Gunship, and without thinking, slit Caldon's throat. Blake then took control of the Gunship and flew it down the rocky cliff, but found it was too late, that the Admiral and Karie had both completed the fall. " #$%ing $%^&!" Blake yelled in anger. Blake ditched the AV22 WAR Osprey Gunship, as it flew out of control, and Blake flew to Eugene. "What happened?!" Eugene exclaimed. Blake looked at Eugene in sadness. "God... DAMN... Oh God..." Blake said, as he covered his eyes with his palm. "I saw you fly down there!" Eugene exclaimed. "There... There's no way... They fell, nobody was surviving that." Blake said. "Oh my God" Eugene said, as he looked at the Commander's dead, lifeless body. "Well, she's dead, at the very least." Eugene said. "Was it worth it?" Blake said. "Good question." Eugene said. "We... We can't... We can't stay here anymore. We gotta go. We can't stay." Blake said, as the Town Watch Guards were now scaling the tower to get to Blake. "Let's go" Eugene said, as Blake put Eugene on his back, and they flew away.

Back at the Mansion

Blake and Eugene arrived. Eustace and Scorpio greeted them. "What happened? Did you win? Where the hell's Karie?" Eustace exclaimed. Blake looked at Eustace with the sad look of depression. "Have someone else tell you. I don't know... What the hell do we do?" Blake said, as Eustace got worried. Eugene then told Eustace and Scorpio everything that had happened. "Oh my God." Eugene said. "You know, Karie was not my favorite, but 'tis always displeasing to see an ally die. Even though Karie ended my peace streak and burnt a non hostile land to the ground, Karie was a strong ally." Scorpio said. "Aren't you guys worried about Blake? That's 2 very important people in his life, GONE" Eustace exclaimed. "We really should keep an eye on Blake, shouldn't we?" Eugene asked. "Yes, but we shall heal his son... At this time is very dire, we cannot let that boy die." Scorpio said. "Scorpio's right, Byron's in critical condition, we can't let him die" Eustace said. "And you 2 should know... I finished off the Commander of Acid" Eugene said. "Someone had to, I guess." Eustace said. "What a crappy day" Eugene said. "Well, this Commander breathes no more. We must now tend to Blake." Scorpio said, as the group entered the mansion, and pondered their next move.

The End.
