The Adventures of the

God Squad

Episode 66 "Poisonous Words"

At last with the Mahkas and their neighboring civilization: the "Scorpions" who were fearsome warriors and the Mahkas were true patriots to their cities. Any ideas of a war were finally gone, except the one with Death; that war I knew would never be over he was dead and his forces were crushed along with his evil and poisonous ideas. It puzzled me for a while where and how he got all those actual human guards to fight and work for him, but my question would soon be answered.

(Theme Song)

We received an alert from a police force that were trying to stop a huge bank robbery, but Death's troops were too strong and they had the better position. They called us in and the fight was on! The bank had a strange design that instead of being wide and fat, it was long and thin which made it especially difficult to stop the thugs. We climbed faster than them due to our robot arms and soon the only one left was one who was heading for the top to make his escape, via helicopter. "Anna, go! I'll finish these guys" I said as I grabbed a thug and threw it at the group of thugs that Anna was fighting, giving her an easy climb and caught the thug before he could reach the helicopter. He was trapped in her grip, but he threw some kind of sticky putty on her chest which then exploded, resulting in his freedom, and the two began to fight, one on one.

Anna had a very tough time fighting this thug, since his combat was superior to hers! He fought like he wasn't even trying and Anna was trying her hardest! By the time I got to the roof, he had cornered her at a corner of the roof, her on the roof ground and a blaster at her face! I shot the blaster out of his hands and told him to surrender. "Back away from my wife you bastard!" I demanded. The thug might have been superior to Anna, but he knew that I had never been beaten in combat by anyone besides Scarlett Eye who only managed to parry my talent, but not top it, making me and him the greatest fighters in the history in Slugterra. He threw a smoke bomb on the ground and jumped to the roof of another building and escaped.

I picked up Anna, and climbed down the building and my medical team took her to our hospital. Later that day I came to check up on her and asked the doctor for a report. "How is she doing doctor?" I asked. "She will be alright, but he dislocated her right shoulder, broke both of her feet and caused her to have a concussion. It will take her a few weeks, maybe even a few months to recover, but then she'll be fine." The Doctor replied. I felt horrible by letting Anna fight that thug, but what was done, was done. I had to focus on the task at hand: finding and stopping Death.

I headed back to the evidence room and asked for a report on the robbery. The cops looked at each other uneasily and took out a dead body of one of the thugs and showed it to me. "It says here that his name is Damien Packer, age 19, and he was your..." the cop said as I interrupted and said "My student!" I said in shock. "Why would he be working for Death?" I thought. I could only wonder, but I needed to unravel this mystery quickly before Death's words of poison could spread to other students.

We got a blood sample of the thug that Anna was fighting since she managed to cut his arm and his blood told us his DNA and it showed us that he used to be in her classes in the school, hence he knew all her strengths and weaknesses, so he could easily fight her. I then received a message from Death where he was sitting in a chair with a shady person behind him, with his hands crossed behind his back, with a stern look on his face.

"Well I see you've figured out I'm getting my warriors from, but there is nothing you can do to stop it now. My army is growing greater every day and I have found a suitable apprentice for myself and he is also my successor. Yvan Choly, meet my apprentice: Red Night. I hope you know not to mess with him or me now that our combined strength can match yours, so don't bother to try and stop us. You will fail, it's pointless. Farewell, cold and dark dreams for you tonight." He said as he deactivated the message.

This new apprentice didn't rest well with me. Now instead of just dealing with Death, now he had an apprentice to assist him as well. I was still confident that the two still couldn't beat me, so I challenged them to a public duel with just me and them and their safety was guaranteed. A few days before the duel, my scientists had a special present for me in celebration of the 50th anniversary of my arrival in Slugterra (I was about 65 at that time). They had spent YEARS, in creating a high-powered, multitasked, almost indestructible and unbeatable suit for me. The suit featured over a 1000+ features, but I can't tell them all and I couldn't possibly narrow down the best parts. (If you guys want, then message me or comment and tell me if you want a separate story where I describe all the features of the suit). The suit was greater than anyone could have ever imagined! And on the day of the fight, I was ready!

We met in an arena, where I was equipped with the latest and deadliest weapons that we had access to and the fight began. Death had two swords and Night had two daggers and both villains had guns as well as I did. The two charged at me and both attacked simultaneously, but mine and the suit's speed were just too fast for them, so I was able to grab both, bash them together and throw them away.

The two got back up and began to shoot, but I didn't even move my feet and deflected all the slugs with my staff. The crowd cheered for my success, but the battle was soon going to change. Night charged at me like a rhino, so I redirected his momentum into a nearby pillar causing him to crash, but Death then pounced and tackled me and was about to stab me, but I grabbed his knife. He both struggled, but for some reason, his strength was greater than mine! The knife was close to my neck, so I head-butted him, causing his head to bleed, but while I admired my success, Night snuck up behind me and stabbed me and threw me into a pillar.

I got up, injured an weak, but pressed on. I tried to strike Death, but he grabbed my staff and punched me in the face, then my legs, the beat me to a pulp. I couldn't move and Death and Night approached for the kill, but the security system and guards threw them out of the arena and they ran back to their HQ. The greatest doctors in Slugterra tended to my wounds, but like my wife, it would take time to heal. I asked my officers to take a sample of Death's or Night's blood in the arena and let the scientists test it. The officers were confused why I asked them to do it, but they obeyed. After a few days, my lab boys told me that Death and Night had been injected with a special serum that increased their strength and combat ability, based on how strong the opponent was and how long Death or Night fought. The longer they fought, or the stronger the opponent, the stronger and better the serum would make them. This gave me an idea to beat Death at his own game.

I called my brother Lesyk, head of the Teen Titans, and also protectors of Slugterra (even though they had failed to apprehend any true villains they encountered, but they were fine in stopping normal crime). Since his ability as a fighter wasn't that great and if his opponent was a good fighter, let alone great, then he was toast! But this was precisely what I needed. I challenged Death and Night to another fight, but my brother was going to take my place, but he thought I was joking. "Do you truly think that your younger brother can beat me and my apprentice? But I accept this second challenge that you give me, but this will the end of your career." He said as he turned off the communicator. The people were shocked to see that Lesyk was armed with no weapons and no armour, while Death and Night had everything you could want to have in a fight and thought he was going to die.

They asked to back down, but he didn't listen to them, but trusted my plan to work. The fight began and Lesyk was being crushed, until they had him cornered after only 2 minutes of fighting, and that was lucky! But it was all part of the plan and he knew the risk and conditions to it. Death tried to punch my brother, but he shouted in pain, when he did, as if he just punched a wall of rose thorns, barehanded! Lesyk opened a secret panel on the wall and put on his armour on and took his weapons and the fun had begun. I watched as he easily overtook Death and Night like they were children cat-fighting with him! Death and Night fled in fear and humiliation and I explained what Death and Night had done and the cheered me for and apologized in doubted me and trying to tell Lesyk to back down from the fight, but we forgave them, and I was still the greatest fighter in Slugterra.
