(A/N: This is where the new blood comes on in and also the last chapter where stealth is apart of the story because Portable Ops is really short, so I decided go with Peace Walker just so I can extend the trials that our heroes must go through and do everything I want with him. All future chapters are rewritten by me so enjoy the previous versions if you will because this may be the last time you read them in their original form. Enjoy)
Reaching the patrol base on the mountainous desert region of San Hjierantruvalo using the hijacked truck stolen from the prison the two comrades found themselves imprisoned in at the same location, our hero was assorting his arsenal of weapons he was armed with. He is shifting around his list of weapons in his dufflebag as considering what he's loaded with, he didn't seem to use much of them and some of his weapons were contradicting others. So he decided to construct a balanced armory he was equipped with as well as his kind of tools, his projectile axes were used for hitting someone up high at close quarters that he can't reach as he figured he could base them off his father's axe as well as the Omega Primal theme Drayko is so fascinated with. His venom serums were mostly used for toxic lethal tranquilizers so he can slowly kill someone while the other lower does are to knock them out albeit with some pain involved. His upper wristblades extended outwards to be longer like the brutes when he's unarmed and his grappling hook function was for out of reach areas that were too high for him to climb, since though the black webs from his lowerwrist webshooters were useful they were not something he wanted to climb from to higher ground at the cost of a capsule. His armor was equipped with strong Octoflauge tech that allowed the user to fully blend into the environment that all in all surrounded the user which was months ago, his skintight pack which was the Vamparic Skeleton-VIII is still on his back to provide him flight when needed; but then again he was opting to use more of a glider that he can attach to his back, ride atop of it and hang from the bottom while he fired his crossbow which was something that he is going to be working on with the technical staff he'll be capturing. His variations for the RT-III were all loaded into one for easy access and his sword had thinner holes that looked like all of them were never there. Once Mikekolt balanced every weapon of form from his wristflipping right hand tomahawk to his flaming Phoenixripper sword, he took a moment to breathe one silently through his nose before heading outside of the truck from behind into the night
He snuck up to the large and long rectangular shaped harbor shipping platforms being tarped from underneath and getting down to his knees, he listened in to the conversation between the two soldiers. Apparently this banter had a mention of stolen parts of the weapon that is to be used for attacking their motherland, the document that arrived the other day from their headquarters mentioned it. The threat of that weapon being aimed to their home was not sitting well with the soldier who seemed more concerned at best while the second called it suicidal. Though doubts were rising of the fact that it was just a threat and bluff, that didn't stop others from wondering what parts they're guarding for this kind of weapon; to the Komodo Unit it was a powerful ballistic missile which was intercontinental for that matter. It sure ain't no run-of-the-mill missile that's clear to them and a leader like Grashunov would in no way ever target their home, he's not that kind of man to do that at all. Mikekolt could hear them no more as the soldiers returned to their patrol afterwards, he moved on over to where a large square shaped pit that had some stairs were; sneaking over to where the other set of them were before making a turn to the right and hiding in the shadows just as a guard walked over. He got down to the floor where his armor activated transforming in the process into the detail of the environment that was soaked up all around him, this is the reason why they are the best when it comes to making weapons and equipment that's as advanced ahead of the Norse Age. All the Changewing's camouflage does is provide a optical illusion as it's based off a chameleon's camo, a octopus is practically unpredictable when it comes to the all terrain environment from any place; anywhere in the Archipelago for that matter
"Our commanding officer's secured the document regarding the events of the Tanker months ago when we took over, shame he's coming down with tropical leishamiasis. God damn it that ain't thing compared to the fact I came in with full blown measles, in fact he's already starting to bleed with an enlarged liver and brittle spleen that can't stand a punch. Not enough time to reach the hospital and he's too weak to put up a fight of his own. Poor guy" He thought out aloud to himself before moving on with Mikekolt leaving his hiding spot, that was more about their commanding officer than what he wanted to hear from the soldiers
Going back to it's natural state after leaving the environment matching the details soaked up thanks to the Octoflauge installed in the armor, he entered inside where he found that sickly officer whom the soldier was thinking about. Having not spoken in such a long time he turned to his sinister and evil shadow as his cold blooded silent snake persona returned, now more deadly since the death of his half-brother Breyerkolt and since he was denied revenge he's taken out his brutality out on them. A metal knuckled tipped fist pulled back from when he approached from behind before slamming the fuck out of his spleen, the action caused the commanding officer to collapse onto his knees where Mikekolt then got a grip on him; with an tomahawk to the throat and knife to his face he forced him to talk. Not saying a word on what he's doing. However he had no information that was vital to him except for exploiting the weaknesses of the Komodo Brutes he might encounter, he left him for dead to slowly die from his severely ruptured spleen that caused internal bleeding from within; as he's just that absolutely merciless
Searching around the patrol base for the secured document regarding the aftermath of the tanker hijacking several months ago that he was responsible for, he eventually found what was needed locked away in the main officer's desk that he broke the lock off from using his tomahawk. Taking it out and deciding to leave he took the back door outside to assure that he was never here from a moment to spare as the soldiers were called in to aid their commanding officer in getting over to the hospital near the rail-bridge. Mikekolt used this little diversion he caused to get back into the back of the truck as soon as possible, driving from the patrol base in their mobile headquarters
Throughout the night upon returning back to the truck Hervatlock read the document which had confirmed a number of their suspicions. Grashunov's going to use this weapon through the use of the parts in order to reclaim the Bludvist's Legacy, not only that but his demands are as outrageous as he's looking to create another microfilm of funds. Outlining the details of a launch plan as the date and time are not mentioned for security reasons, but it all seems like a bluff to the both of them. There's no god damn way in hell he's actually going to launch this weapon into a specific target unless the Dragon Hunters start coughing up the remaining half of the legacy that was stolen. He doesn't sound like the person who's greedy for money but it all seems like he's just a man who wants his funds returned to his soldiers, no one at all is willing to give it up all for the sake of keeping it to themselves. Mikekolt wondered if this is how he would become had he kept the legacy in his possession before it was taken back, but Hervatlock assured him that he's nothing like him and that he used the funds wisely to establish his own territory on their neighboring advanced island
Then again the Komodo Unit just eliminated Hervatlock's team without mercy or remorse in action just at the blink of the eye, who's to say that Grashunov is what Mikekolt's true enemy is when he becomes evil. If those renegades are serious about launching that what the two of them assume to be a ballistic missile then they're not only out of their mentallity but they're highly dangerous to the Archipelago as well. They cannot be allowed to enter their borders at all costs because until the clearer picture of what's going on here is given the two of them are going to assume the worst of the worst, overreact now to laugh about it later than to ignore it and regret it later. This is no solo mission to take on alone because they're the only two that's on top of them to stop the renegade unit, act until the deadline comes. Hervatlock asked him if he had a feeling not all of them were satisfied at all with their leader, some of them looked to be griping about Grashunov's ideals and moralities out of what he's heard from them a few months ago. He was keeping a eye on them even before he hijacked that weapon out of the tanker since he knows they've evacuated the headquarters eight years prior
Remembering the words about using their enemies as their allies, Mikekolt gave Hervatlock a suggestion of using their grievances against Grashunov as blackmail to persuade them toward their side; sowing discord on the enemy was a basic element in warfare of the mind since the time of the Chinese Philosopher Confucius. If they're to play their cards right then the they'll might know what's happening in San Hjierantruvalo about the threat of a ballistic missile on this region. Mikekolt agreed on this and now it was clear to them about the first thing to do while stranded on hostile territory like this, discover the soldiers facing heavy grievances to their leader's ideals and moralities; take them out and at the least have a chat about them in joining their resistance designed for counteraction. A tactic that'll be the first thing that's to be done first thing in the morning because Hervatlock could really use some rest, fever of his giving him the behausans of a headache from the dizziness that's not been affecting him after being imprisoned weekends ago
Mikekolt did not sleep as he moved to the front of their mobile headquarters and kept the lookout for signs of a Komodo Unit convoy that he can ambush. However he did happen to receive a call from his best bud over the communication box that he took from one of them. Using the reserved frequency as usual as he seemed to be worried about him, he replied to the radio of everything that's happened so far and that he along with the rest of his best buds can provide them all with fire support whenever he needs them. Rainserviper and the rest of his Dragons agreed with this decision, although he might not be with him as much like before he still needs their help from behind the lines of San Hjierantruvalo. Ending communication with his farewell telling them that he misses them all, he'll come back home alive since the Komodo Unit ain't worth the shit that's smeared on the atrociously threatening acts they had committed here
Afterwards all that's left for him to do was watch the rest of the night end and the sun rise in a new morning light, still thinking back to himself working at his lair where he would assume his sabotaging from behind the shadows on various sites of their enemies he and Drayko had shared together. Speaking of his bud he went over to the drawing board for his ideas just in case he manages to capture some technical staff guru soldiers who can develop new pieces of equipment for them. Yeah, then they would be able to build a mobile terminal acting as a mission support for the soldier and carry out various functions like locked doors as well as an way to lure enemies into traps; who in the right mind doesn't want a droid buddy to help the soldiers out like this? He'll keep it for a substitute in terms of being with no access to any of his best buds outside of hostile territory, he'll give it the name of: "Arsenal Komodo MK. VII"
In the next following day in the early morning of dawn where the sunlight started bathing the truck, he was outside drinking away some warmed hot chocolate from a canister that he kept just in case he ever gotten thirsty on times like these. Afterwards he hopped right back into the truck and stood over his ally who was startled under his sudden appearance: "Good morning" His voice was soft on the first part but clear on the second as he replied in the same way as Hannibal Lecter with a calm tone of voice. He got up and headed back into the driver's seat, choosing the supply depot as the next destination in mind as well as a good spot for the two of them to find a suitable recruit for their resistance to fight off the Komodo Unit forces
Mikekolt dropped out of the truck from the back as it stopped after pulling into the supply depot right on the eastern side, landing on the ground with his two front feet as the spikes and sheathed blades for skating on slippery surfaces stabbed into the ground. He then got a call from Hervatlock to inform him of the mission at hand on frequency: 142.86 which was to be reserved for the chief in command of missions, his idea since he could prove him with suggestions on what to do next: "Alright here we go now Castle so let's review what we've got here so far, we're discovering and scouting out for soldiers having grudges against their leader; listen in to what they say and once he's all ripe for the picking in our all famous forbidden fruit pie take 'em back to the truck when they're all alone so no one can trace us back here. Put one in a good choking hazard hold for me if this job's going to be done" Hervatlock told him as Mikekolt replied
"Recieving advice from a commander on the other side, least neither soldier we catch will be lonesome without someone to talk to; someone who really wants them to know that they're a smooth talking ally of mine" Mikekolt replied
"Now I'm just breaking the Arsenal-Fox's balls here, you'll cut yourself 'til you'd be bleedin' out of me if you keep all that up that's for sure. Give 'em hell and bring one back as our very first souvenir if you will" Hervatlock told him before going offline in the communications
"I'm looking for more of a heavy gunner for our army here as I mentioned before, Mikekolt out" He made his first move heading to the north of where he's looking in the front, all wide open space as there was a raised stone wall along the right making a turn to the left right near the end of the canyon wall. The ground was ramped up to the west side's raised platform that had a railing along the edge. Along with the main warehouse this depot contained a bunker as well as a locked room to detain one of the more rebellious personnel inside. Some bushes were found on the top of the canyon wall while some crates, stacks of shipping boxes and of course some stacks of wooden planks were found scattered throughout the area. The ones in position who were guarding this location was few and far between as Mikekolt looked ahead, once he found what kind of soldiers were guarding the area; like always he gave himself one hell of a sinister smile because it looks like he's just found the perfect and suitable candidate
Komodo Heavy Gunners wore flattop ushanka shaped armor-plated helmets with a baseball cap shaped bill that went outwards in front of them underneath the frontal facing flap, as the helmet itself was also covered by a KGB soldier styled hood as it looked like it came from the ANA version of the gorka suit and the BVD vest combined into one; meaning that the hood is a dual sided rounded edged square shape which slanted downwards on either side, all while the left and the right were curving overhead into the center. Not done there, the hood is also where the two bottom sides had a forward facing square shaped flap that's slanting off to the left and right sides respectively a little bit; the back of the hood sloping downwards onto the back of the collarbone and having that rounded look as if it were a shell for the head. On the sides of their goggles which bore the same resemblance to that of the minigunners, there's a rectangular shaped sunlight visor that helped provide protection from the glaring hot sun; no soldier like them was ever going to have their eyes irritated and burned by the rays again. It's traditional that these heavily equipped soldiers have cylindrical shaped filtered mouths, with an added cowl that went halfway over them and a official flag of their unit on both sides from their cheeks. On the front of their flattop caps were two halves of the trapezoid platings that faced the center for extra forehead protection, while there happened to be a thick square of a rod that went diagonally downward before turning over to the side and stopping in front of the right side of the cylindrical shaped mouth; acting like a pair of communication headphone muffs that had a flat vertical rectangular shaped dual ear cover which was apart of the helmet itself. Most notably was the fact that their heavily armed but lightweight defensive armor is a series of both overarching half trapezoid shaped chestplates that went over the collarbone, a pair of closely locked beaking duckbill shaped shoulder guards; tri-strapped shin guards that's cuffing around the legs along with an added kneeguard too above, and sabatons that covered the roof of the boots that they wore for protection against the solid earth. The armor worn all had a grime washed shadow and charcoal grey for the chestplate sides along with the greaves to a brick and rust red color for the edges of both the soles and the shin guards respectively, a dark gordons to nero and an verdun olive green color was given to the shoulder guards which also shined with a white colored reflection for the light to reveal that swamp like grime. The back of them were large duffle bag like backpacks which held everything they needed along with missiles on their left to right sides, as there were two shoulder straps that rest on them with a horizontal strap going across the front underneath their armor; dual magazines which slanted off downwards to either side as well as three pouches that went across the stomach, and equipped with some of the most highly lethal and dangerous weapons the Komodo Unit has to offer. These included box shaped missile launchers that held four in the front, SPAS-12 double barreled shotguns along with lightweight heavy beltfed submachine rifles, grenades along with grenade launchers and demolition charges that could be detonated at the handle shaped trigger. They're the kind of people he can use as he gave a sinister smile right at the first sight of them, wearing the same kind of camouflage on their battleskirts as him and of course having every little feature of his armor including the stronger bulkup ability; that'll be his first target. Finally, some of them were scarce but effectively patrolling through down the supply depot as both their vambracer and shin guards were made to look refined with all that smeared stains of scorched grime on them, not to mention the leathery texture of the hoods based off the raincoats worn in rainy weather that comes to San Hjierantruvalo
HTTYD
Komodo Heavy Gunners carried full-auto eight to ten shot grenade launcher crossbows, light weight spreadfire crossbows that can break down even stone walls, and Rumblehorn Missile Launchers that the new model now had a handle on the top that went forward. Heading over to a spot behind the right wall where he can see the heavy gunner alone by himself, he fired off a black web that connected to his back and sent him flying over near to the truck; coming out of his hiding spot before knocking him out with one powerful punch to the skull. Afterwards he proceeded to carry the heavy gunner over his shoulders where he slipped him inside, his first capture has been completed as he joined Hervatlock inside to look over the knocked out soldier; whom was starting to recover quickly
"I should've known!" The Komodo Heavy Gunner came in to attack as Mikekolt blocked him in the process as he held his arm against him
"You heal faster than the others" Mikekolt took notes of this soldier. Suddenly, the Heavy Gunner caught Hervatlock in a chokehold as he took his sidearm; aiming it towards him before Mikekolt slammed him to the ground by the neck upon rushing over to him with fast reflexes. "Quick thinking as well. You're a good soldier since they've trained all of you more than well" He complimented and as soon as that was all over, now it was time to get down to persuading this soldier over to their side
"Who... are you?" The soldier asked him
"Let's call myself Mikekolt" He introduced himself
"Mikekolt, a false name to protect your identity? Are you with the Komodo Unit or with the Dragon Hunters?" He asked as Mikekolt shook his head
"I'm not with the Dragon Hunters nor with the Komodo Unit, I'm just a mercenary" He replied
"Just a mercenary? Then why-"
"We're here to stop the Komodo Unit from attacking both homelands, Grashunov betrayed the Dragon Hunters and stole documents regarding a new weapon to attack whatever he's planning to target. He's framed my comrade here for spearheading the revolt and is being blackmailed with a threat. Moreso however is that Grashunov's using the weapon and it's parts for bargaining chips to demand the second half of the legacy, it was stolen by someone. We're here to put a stop to it, our mission is to free the soldiers of San Hjierantruvalo from his control and capture the traitors in the Komodo Unit. I can understand that you are not willing to help us take down your unit but we need soldiers who have grudges against him to help us free the rebels from Whiteburah Island. Will you join us?" Hervatlock explained and asked as their victim only asked
"You're here... to free us, and you want me to help you defeat Grashunov?" He glaringly recalled before laughing out at the dumbassery of this guy and Mikekolt, oh how misled these guys were
"This is not a joke here dammit. Mikekolt you think he's been brainwashed like the rest of them?" Hervatlock asked but Mikekolt showed no response to his question, but the soldier sure did as he questioned him in returned
"Brainwashed, is that what you think is happening here? You have been misled by your false sources. We did not revolt because of the Dragon Hunters, it was our homeland that betrayed us first!" The Komodo Heavy Gunner had no choice but to tell them about their reasoning on why they were apart of the insurrection
Mikekolt laid down on top of him as he knew this was going to be a long story for him and he was curious to know more about the Komodo Darkblood Unit to begin with, see what kind of sappy tale that they have for the both of them to listen to. The soldier known as Adamel as he would start calling him for now until he could find another one began telling the story
"We have stood guard over this god forsaken missile silo in the desert incapable of reaching our friends and loved ones because of the ghost level secrecy of our mission. Climate under the sun is brutal while our meals were while the best we ever had started leaving a meager taste after awhile and our comrades were being slain by either disease or fighting off rebels that were seeking this place as their own. We still went on carrying out our mission with our beliefs that efforts we give were all for the good of our motherland, but how did they award us back? Abandoning us here and being left for dead on this base"
"You're talking about the policy shift in the late Empress Jacqueline's rulership over the isle? If the existence of this missile silo came into the light then this fallout could undermine her position in the Strategic Limitation Talks that our new ruler was promoting, that's why-" Hervatlock was interrupted as Mikekolt closed his lips with his hand, turning back into his evil shadow at the mention of politics that he was not interested in hearing. Adamel continued speaking and showing the same of kind of similarities between him and Mikekolt
"The soliders of the Komodo Unit has no use for political rationalities. What matters to us the most is that our gold fabled motherland erased us from existence only to do something even worse, rather than allowing us mercenaries coming from our respective homelands of the Central American based culture and Eastern European coasts; everyone removed all traces of communication as well as cutting off our supplies. They sought to isolate us from the world and make it look as if though this was the work of a few renegade soldiers, we were abandoned by our countries but that's not all..."
"That's why you decided to follow Grashunov?" Hervatlock asked as Mikekolt remained silent, the threat of targeting his family was strong enough to make him go into his evil shadow faster; in fact the sacrifice of Breyerkolt made him go into his evil shadow more often than not if he was silent for a few long moments
"Grashunov was a president who told us mercenaries that he would built us a heaven, not of militia but for them to remain out of the brutal reality of the people who call us chemical and failed disasters of enhanced soldiers. We do not follow him out of fear but out of hope, he is the one who will deliver us justice but the only thing we fear losing is that kind of justice; he is the main reason we follow him over you. You will never stop him from building the weapon meant to target the main source of corruption in the Archipelago" Mikekolt started to speak in his real voice at that time, destroying the main source of corruption in the Archipelago being what caught his attention the most as he was sure Grashunov was out for revenge. Most likely towards the Warlords from removing him from office
"Justice... that's the kind of meaning that changes from one day to the next. Warriors like me do not bring that into our tasks we're given, the only people who need a reason to fight are a kind of warriors who fight for a reason to live. Politics are nothing but fickle judgement that change with the times. Warriors like us need nothing to believe in for as long as we remain loyal to ourselves. He sacrificed himself out of loyalty not to justice and not to his tribe but to himself and his brotherhood to me, to himself just so I can live another day" Mikekolt's evil shadow became worse and colder with water dripping down his skin from the steam coming out from thinking about his half-brother. Getting off as he sat on his knee when he started to speak
"Your brother... the one who taught you, who was he?" The soldier asked him
"Breyerkolt is the name, he sacrificed his life from Savage while Drayko dealt the final ending blow to Maeve back then; eight and a half years ago. I was denied revenge against Savage for that one action as I let Dagur kill the rogue Outcast Lieutenant instead to stop him from taking over his tribe. Not this time as I will actually get my revenge by taking down the Komodo Unit for good, but I'm not the right person to do this alone; I don't rely on human allies as much as I do to my Dragons since they're the only kind of family I left. This time's different as I'm just in the same kind of shithole as you mercenaries are, cut off from contact from them. Now I have to build my kind of army to rise against this threat as I can't do too much alone" Mikekolt monologued as the soldier underneath him immediately looked up, using the hints that he's given away to him and finally discovering his true identity
"Drayko? The Legendary Dragon Rider himself? Then you must be the Arsenal-Fox. You're the hero who shut down the Dragonroot Company and saved Dragonkind back at the Archipelago, you're the one who's been fighting us since we've been called upon to help out in taking you out!" The soldier exclaimed upon finding out his identity
"A fearsome warrior never let's himself hit the ground with his back, he always stands tall even when he is about to die a bloodied and beaten death; never letting their back hit the ground or let his spirit be broken by the fall of someone close to you should they ever die once. Those are the kind of words Breyerkolt spoke to me before being killed by Savage, I still can't take them to heart" Mikekolt replied
"Fight until your last breath, not to justice and not to your tribe... but to yourself. Does he truly plan to threaten our motherland?" He asked him as he couldn't think that after all that had happened back then, he couldn't risk seeing the place he grew up in be targeted by the president of San Hjierantruvalo
"Yes, the Arsenal-Fox procured documents from the patrol base that confirmed as much but did not say what the weapon was out of security reasons. If launched from here then this missile we think it is one could deliver a devastating blow to every major island in the Archipelago as well as Whiteburah Island and perhaps some parts of the motherlands. I know it's hard for believe that Grashunov would be using you for this but-" Hervatlock was interrupted
"No. I believe you, not as a member of the Komodo Unit but as a warrior like him. We knew of this threat but we had no further opinions on our motherland's army who shut us out of the real world. Just the motherland themselves as our friends and beloved ones are dead" The Komodo Heavy Gunner told him
"I appreciate it and it looks like there's nothing left for you to lose now" Mikekolt told him
The soldier got back onto his feet and caught his hand just like Breyerkolt did when he was saved from falling, assuring their alliance between the two: "Arsenal-Fox, I will follow you. Give me and all other new blood our mission" He told him
Now with this soldier on their side, all it would take is a few more soldiers to set up a team of his own; expanding his army to a bigger size so that he can fight Grashunov's forces. For now they're starting out small but they'll become a threat to them soon
Settling in with the established Arsenal-Fox squad comprising of the three of them, Hervatlock had decided to go over the plan with Mikekolt but showed symptoms of coughing; concerning his fellow comrade but asking him to ignore it instead. If they're going to gather intel then they'll have to recruit more new blood to their one man army squad, which Mikekolt agreed as their first recruit was with him to aid in gathering a bunch of more new recruits. Hervatlock was coming down with something alright and it looked like signs of tropical malaria, it was no better with that leg of his snagging on his nerves. Mikekolt took over and drove off back to the communications base, getting out with Adamel going off to hide nearby; just because he was a Komodo Heavy Gunner didn't mean that he wasn't looking like the rest of the unit, he just didn't have to act strange around them
Adamel pinpointed each of the Komodo Unit soldiers locations on the communications base before he started going after every one of them, while Mikekolt got back inside the building to find out where some preventive drugs were after the symptoms started showing up. The two of them worked out respectively as Adamel captured some of the soldiers inside of the truck, while Mikekolt searched all around aimlessly to no success. He remembered that the commanding officer had spleen he punctured and decided to interrogate some medical staff who were tending to the man, heading outside of the building to look for any of them. Unfortunately he rushed out of the building and smacked a door against one of the patrolling soldiers, alerting the others with that classic split second shriek that informed him that he's fucked up and now they're onto him
Mikekolt ran up against one of the soldiers running towards him before jumping forwards to land an revolving kick with a scorching trail of flames gliding across the soldier's helmet, also having the blades on the bottom come out to slash across it's neck; killing him instantly. The others rallied up their forces on him as he shot a black web towards them, sending them to fly over towards the canyon wall with a deadly impact. As soon as they came with tusked riot shields in their hands now it was time to switch to a more powerful weapon for him to use, a gauntlet to be exact. He came running up to them with his fist reared back underneath before uppercutting them into the air, jumping to smash them back down to the ground. Going over to his projectile axes to take out some of the snipers on the rooftops
Throwing three at once towards the snipers on the rooftops and killing them all, Mikekolt got out his sword to deal with the swordsmen who were coming in close from the sides; jumping off from the walls of the buildings and deflecting the swings with his defensive stance before cutting them down one by one. Spinning in a cyclone of wild slashes and ending it all with an powerful stab into the last of the Komodo Unit soldier's head, spinning around and cutting off it's head just like with blood spraying out into a sprout just like that. Mikekolt ran back to the truck to inform Hervatlock that there were no drugs in the communications base, while Adamel in the process told him about a hospital that was in the sector where his former squad patrolled through. Seeing that he was already in a heap of trouble, he knew that Mikekolt had no time to hide somewhere safe until everything was cleared out
"I'll meet you at the hospital once it's clear, look over Hervatlock in my absence and tell the new blood recruits everything about what's happened. I'm sure they will join us" Mikekolt told him as Adamel nodded
"I'll tell them that the Arsenal-Fox is building an squad, I'lll keep finding new blood to add up the numbers in different areas" Adamel understood before heading back into the truck
His Vamparic Skeleton-VIII's wings sprouted out from the side on command and took off into the air, flying off from the communications base and through the air. Adamel took control of the truck before backing out of their parked position, driving out to the side and then going forwards as their next destination was the hospital where the preventive antimalarial drugs was shipped off to. From here on out it was going to be a far more dangerous job to do out in the San Hjierantruvalo Peninsula, but far more easier now with their first blood recruit that is helping them out. He had his dual Revenant's Talon III crossbows out just in case which were based off the Vz-61 Scorpions
With many more of them to follow in the footsteps of Adamel, there's only a matter of time before his squad is enough to take them head on in a real fair fight as stealth would be much as it is necessary this time; Mikekolt would rather have some action to go with the sneaking...
I've been taking my time with the concept of Arsenal-Fox being a villain in his own story that is in the main HTTYD Universe titled: "Arsenal-Fox: Dark Side" because he represents the dark side of Hiccup thanks to his former friendship that he ended with him due to how violent he's become over the years. He even threw away his life debt he owed to him since he was trying to drown Snotlout in retribution for him doing the same, it gets worse in the concept where he ultimate abandons the Hairy Hooligans Tribe in the end and becomes the villain. What I'm saying here is that I've decided that he could use an actual glider instead of that Sky Stick that I introduced him with in the next chapter
Here's the idea for the new glider: it's integrated from his Vamparic Skeleton-VIII being that it's a skintight backpack therefore it detaches itself to shift into a glider with it's blade wings splitting diagonally upwards. Having two Phoenixripper colored flames coming from it's boosters on the back and having both of the Sky Stick's sprouting blades, coaxial propellers on the sides and three diagonally upward flames also on the sides underneath. It had two slots for his Deathgripper Acid Flare Bombs and variants for him to use when he needs a few of the projectiles for bombings. It is split in between and can shift sideways to turn sideways as it also be ridden like a snowboard like the Sky Stick. Finally the rider can hang off from the glider and have it reattach itself back onto the user itself and removed at will, having two ribbed lines on the left to right like a skeleton ribcage based off the Red Goblin's flaming glider when he bonded with the Carnage symbiote
