(A/N: The first half of the chapter will feature Mikekolt going in alone by himself and will also feature the newly introduced Sky-Stick from Spider-Man 3 because that film deserves a little more love than you think. New Goblin is the inspiration behind the Arsenal-Fox here as well as the Arkham Knight but that's not the point. The rest is finding the drugs and from there to the next chapter, finding a way to create some diversions away from a tight guarded bridge that goes over the river to the southern half of San Hjierantruvalo. Oh and of course I've taken upon myself to add in the Metal Gear MK. II as apart of one of the tools to use for recon, since Lethalruin nor the Dragons are involved in the fight at all. From here on there'll be some kind of action involved here in these chapters. Enjoy)
Landing on the shores based off Costa Rica while also having his wings retract back into their place as it was that which was going back to his scale armor, Mikekolt stood from the ground and brought his sword out since he could practice a few swings of the blade and it's one place he can actually cut anything and everything at will; time for him to go insane with it. There was a tropical mangrove forest on the left side and coral reefs on the right, being the place for all of those sea turtles to come and bury the eggs that were laid. This beach had few coconut trees with a wooden dock going out to the seas along with some oil drums, fallen logs dotted along with balls around and about in the area; while the beach had some training scarecrows for his skills so that he can counterattack whatever the Komodo Unit throws at him. The sky looked a little cloudy with the sun still present but nevertheless is still beautiful
Taking a few slashes of his sword and proceeding to cut down a few scarecrows with swift to deadly speed in just a matter of seconds where he moved onto the trees that he split in half all with a upperslash launching him into the air; swinging his tomahawk back down to where he landed on the ground. The slot in his palm spiraled open to drop a bomb into his hand as it's apart of his new chained gloves for his war armor, he threw one against the gate and it's explosion melted the door down as well as some parts of the caged fence where he can go through to proceed because it's going to be a dangerous trip that's for sure. The sunlight had given the mist in the morning a golden color as the forest was expansive enough to have an squad of snipers posted about because those soldiers can eat a bag of dicks when it came to dealing with them. Finding himself in a crater shaped basin that was small and having snipers shooting at him but not calling out an alert to the others, Mikekolt hid behind various trees to logs out of sight using his Octoflauge to become one with the environment; taking cover as of course his cowl was affected as it covered most of his face. Wearing his binoculars as he gave a nod to flip them onto his eyes peaking out to the side slightly to see a few soldiers directly waiting for him in the distance, here he's got himself something of a clear path over towards the facility where he can get back to Hervatlock and his squad back at the hospital
The anti-malaria preventive drug shipments has to be there in one of the rooms and if not it would have to be a shipment report at best, he's not letting anyone else be infected by that tropical malaria. But as soon as he came out of the basin and leaped over a log in the way, out of nowhere a Komodo Unit slashed his wristknife downwards diagonally toward his direction; forcing him to jump onto the tree next to him and leap off to the dodge the second wristknife that swung diagonally upwards against the tree he was on, which had gotten stabbed into it's bark. Mikekolt landed a scorching kick against the brute's spinal armor thanks to the vents on the bottom of his boots, landing just as the brute freed one of his blades and confronted his enemy. Like before the brutes had their own looks as with all of the Komodo Unit built into a formidable force to combat against Mikekolt's powers, equipment and abilities he had: "No more fucking around in our territories, this time I'll cut you to pieces 'til you die Castle!" He pointed towards him before gouging out a knife from his other hand, now wielding two blades just for him; Mikekolt's evil shadow was gonna love this as he got into a defensive stance
Komodo Brutes had thicker upperbody chestplates that were raised and slanted on the edges along with having a pair of six beltstraps that went across below them, the upperbody armor was segmented of course to be clear. Their three ribbed thick belts went across their waists having two large pouches on the sides and in the process, they wore a pair of armored chaps along with a crotch plate that went on the front and back; this is something Mikekolt doesn't wear for reasons of his own that he's not willing to explain. Their helmets still had that round cylinder shaped nozzle for breathing in gasses but the eyes looked like they were tightened around their heads, having two round knobs on the sides that slanted diagonally off towards the sides as well; a pair of straps were found on their shoulders that went over onto the back since the knobs that stuck out from the back was a bumpy spinal cord consisting of them that wasn't used for anything really. Although they did happen to sport multitudes of thick cords that went all over their bodies, not for pumping their armor with strength but for amplifying their electrical power into their wristknives as well as their shields and seismic gauntlets to greaves. Their shinguards were heavy plated while their boots were clawed on the front for kicking the hell out of their victims, their kneeguards as well were taken from his war armor while their gloves were tightened enough to turn them blue underneath. Their vambracers were equipped with vibrational shockwave attachments to preform some serious damage, another reason for being apart of a deconstruction crew. Finally, while the soft patenting on their armor would be their weakness after couple of more attacks; it was actually to protect them from their own vibrational weapons and on their thigh to legs they had three medium sized straps going all around
Just as soon as the Komodo Brute starting rushing towards him he dodged the first left swing that went upwards followed by the next right swing that also went upwards, while the third swing went downwards and dodging backwards as the fourth swing was aimed upwards like the first two while the brute ended with a fifth upwards x-crossed slash with both knives. All while there was a thick golden to orange trail emitting from the blades whenever slashing at the air. Mikekolt retaliated with a strike to the brute's head with the Gauntlet of Frynir until he then landed a number of punches to his lower guts, rapidly increasing the pressure as he then took him by the head and smashed his helmet against his forehead. This would not stop the brute as he switched to his electrified seismic gauntlets and boots that could stop him in countering his unarmed attacks
He was just getting started as he pulled back both arms with a fast knob ticking sound was heard before changing to a vibrating rumble, at that point was a death wish as Mikekolt ran off like hell to escape the incoming blast where the brute sent his fists forward towards his direction where a earthly bombing sound was heard afterwards. The blast of the seismic gauntlets were all ringed around itself while also looking a projectile that was impacting to the surface of the earth. Mikekolt could not escape the blast as he was hit as well as being sent to smash against the wall where the rocks collapsed from the top, where a pile was soon formed and he was now laying in a position as it looked like he was sitting on a chair
The Komodo Brute approached to finish the job in dealing with him but Mikekolt would not go down without a fight and swiped his unsheathed claws before jumping into the air, so he can land a deep mauling on the Komodo Brute's patented armor before kicking him in the lower jaw with his clawed boots; boosting upwards into the air thanks to the vents sprouting flames and allowing him to hover without breaking his legs on impact to the ground. Landing back on the brute before digging his boot's claws to blades into his neck with him leaping off, in order to preform a deep stabbing multi-claw swipe against his face and body before he had come down. In a final stand where he switched to the tusked shield against him, Mikekolt got both arms up as the Komodo Brute ran over to bash it against him which proved little to stop his death; catching the tusks with his hands and pushing it back before throwing it off to the side where he then flipped his tomahawk onto his right hand to fire his claws into his neck which was exposed. Chopping into the exposed neck to further kill him to the point of close instantaneous death, having no remorse nor honor to his opponent he shot both black webs to his chest before pulling him downwards where he killed him instantly with a knee to the face and clawed boot to kick him directly head on in the face and skull. Time to get a move on as the Komodo Unit's going to investigate soon if he didn't leave right now
Running through the tropical rainforest of San Hjierantruvalo and having his Octoflauge begin to activate just as the enemy patrol investigated the fight that concluded with a man down at a few distances away from the sniper basin area, as that seismic shockwave was loud as fuck; he leaped toward the stone wall that was closed in to the entrance leading into a facility built for the native's worksmen before sliding across the floor all the way to the left corner. Taking a more suitable camouflage in the process as from there he looked on ahead to observe who were guarding around this area, the pathway leading outside of the rainforest and to a more open field like area which then had a stone path laid out for transport vehicles to enter and exit through as they pleased
This supply facility was found on elevated ground near the ocean above the shipping port as it was that large thick three-way stone dock down in the distance. Housing several forklifts as well as shipping crates, cargo trolleys and a management cabin which was on the far end from where he was taking a clear view from his position. With stairs and a upper catwalk leading to the room on the side, it contained communications equipment for contact with the Komodo Unit's personnel with a observation balcony; with an makeshift torture chamber for bringing in prisoners and interrogating them for information. That observation balcony was where he needed to go in order to reach the communications equipment inside, the room was sound proofed and was dark inside with shuttered windows that were jammed so it remained in a downwards position. So there's no threat of alerting the radioman since he was on full duty and the security was looking tight enough as it is, time to move ahead as there's also another warehouse on the back of the cabin; maybe that can be his way back to his squad
Taking out his Revenant's Talon III before coming out of hiding he ran up to the soldier before landing a right hook to his face, his dual extended upperwrist blades sprouted out in the few moments to spare before gutting him in the stomach where the then preformed a upperslash to his jaw. Firing a round of bullet arrows that hit the second soldier in a matter of seconds as he was taken down but the third swordsman jumped onto the scene, blocking and deflecting his bullet arrows away from him; swinging his blade wildly to block them. His crossbow was then kicked out of his hands before being forced into using his vambracers to block a number of attacks, swinging his arms around to counter each of the strikes using his mounted blades. After a three strike sword hit to his arms the Komodo Unit swordsman swung his blade to his chest where he clapsed it in between his hands, resulting in a power struggle as both of them pushed back and forth against each other; the two of them were getting close to disarming an another and killing them as the both of them looked into each other's eyes, pushing one and the other's strain against their respective opponent.
His Revenant's Talon III dual crossbows resembled a KSC Manufactured Vz-61 Scorpion with two upperwrist blades acting as bayonets for the both of them although in a bronze color, being more bigger than the actual SMG and a fact that the stock itself could not be flipped over; just having a multi-hook stock like always and being like a hybrid of the Vz-61 Scorpion, K-PDW trigger guard and Z-5RS for the assault rifle AK-47 styled clip SMGs
This power struggle between Mikekolt and the Komodo Unit swordsman tipped in the favor of our hero as he disarmed the soldier with a parry and swift punch to the side of his face, he reclaimed his crossbow using his black webshooters before switching to his tomahawk as he slammed it into his opponent's knees to cripple him. Using his upperwrist blades to execute the swordsman with a couple more slashes to kill the soldier, ending the confrontation that's between him and Mikekolt as the next one begins soon once he reaches the communications room on the top floor of the cabin; as the radioman will soon share the same fate
He ran past the large shipping crates and climbed up the steps seeing no enemy patrol left as it looks like he's cleared the last of them out at least until he heard footsteps to his direction; Octoflauge helped him hide from the incoming patrol when he came near looking around, turning away. He came out of hiding and continued to the rest of the way up the stairs and broke through a barred gate to enter inside, closing and locking it so no one can know he was here; he stalked close to the doorframe where he heard the radioman inside. Apparently there was a prisoner who finally gave into the torture and talked before dying evidenced by the bleeding, leaking down from the prisoner's mouth and recieving no physical training in resisting torture; whom this prisoner was and what it was he was interrogated for was not coming back. He got out his knife and moved in to kill
Mikekolt entered the door to which the communications equipment was locked inside as he came to attack him, but the radioman foresaw this and came to defend himself; getting into a second power struggle between the two as the opponents were forcing their arms to another and the other. He twisted his arm over and flipped his tomahawk into hand where he gutted him in the guts, spewing up blood from his throat before taking him at knifepoint where just one thrust of death was a second away if he didn't start talking. What he's trying to know was at best information about that snowboard styled glider he heard about three months ago, no name except for the nickname of Sky Stick: "The Komodo Unit designed a snowboard glider for aerial strikes, where is it being held?" He demanded information from the radioman who complied to him
"Back hall of the warehouse, maneuverable and meant to combat Dragons in the sky who're getting in our way" The radioman explained as Mikekolt gave out this stern response
"I do not want to see any security guarding the warehouse" Mikekolt growled
"None of the guards out here have access inside, no alert's trigger if it gets stolen from us" The radioman told him more as Mikekolt threatened
"If you're lying then I'll punctured the other one..." Asked about what he meant by puncturing the other one Mikekolt stabbed him in the lung for him to drown in his own blood before collapsing to the floor; still breathing in one but weakened as he couldn't breathe as much as he needed to
Knowing where to go next he exited out through the door and jumped off the balcony with a touchdown, seeing the warehouse up ahead as he accelerated to the entrance; getting in and seeing the glider just sitting there ready for him to take it. And take it he did as he slashed off all connecting wires that restrained it to the pedestal and took the board out. Throwing it and jumping onto the board, he hijacked it away from the hands of the Komodo Unit unaware of a tracking device being planted by the radioman as it looked like this at least in it's prototype:
This transportation vehicle was like a snowboard that was straightly horizontal but tilted towards the bottom near the ends while the tips were tilted upwards, two propellers are on both sides of the black grids near the raised round bumps on the tips; two more were found on the bottom as well underneath in the same spot where they were located above. The one in the center had a rectangular screen and had the same perforated holes but smaller, while on both ends had three sharp thrusters going diagonally down on the sides as boosters to keep a balance while riding. The bottom of the center below the board had a round edged heater shape that acted as the main booster with five barbs on the end and bullets on the front, near the tips was a three pointed shape that was black while the rest was a silvery color; having two blades on one end and the propellers acting like flamethrowers. There was a bomb storage that appeared flat on the surface before popping upwards to the user's hand, coming out of the quarter circle slot that came out from the side; while the green propellers turned red and beeped should it go out of control before homing into the user underneath, in order to save them from falling off. There were also splintered red streaks on the black parts that went on the silvery surface, the user is mostly flying horizontally but can step on the propeller to turn vertical and ride like a real snowboard. The screen on the other hand had a white sphere with an lime green outline, followed by a shamrock to deep olive green that surrounded the white sphere in the middle. Finally, the Sky-Stick itself was ridden by every one of the Komodo Unit soldiers and tested out on the site
He took the time to learn how to control the Sky Stick while flying to the hospital to get back with his squad as the anti-malaria preventive drugs must be found, Hervatlock's life hung on those drugs and he's not stopping until he gets them to his ally and his men who got infected as time went on without him. One step on the propeller he switched to vertical control and in the process rode it like an actual snowboard as he was speeding quickly through the skies and haul his ass back to the truck where Hervatlock's health was deteriorating by the minute. The fact he wasn't aware of the beacon on the Sky Stick didn't last long as he found out about it as he was halfway there, destroying it with a bullet arrow as he doesn't want them to know who is recruiting their own men against them
HTTYD
The hospital was small with minimal facilities located in the mountains, the buildings are at least two stories high. Along with the main offices, the medical facilities and various storage areas; there were various buildings to the north, east and west of the main hospital with the main trenches that were tall acting like the pathways for Mikekolt's squad to get through. The anti-malaria preventive drugs must be in there
Hovering down to the truck parked he gave out in relief that his squad hasn't been spotted at the time of his absence and looks like the coast was clear for him to land, leaping off from the Sky Stick and rappelled his way down to the ground with his black webshooters; all without a single chance of alerting the others of their presence. He saw Adamel hiding nearby thanks to a box and decided to go into the main building, sneaking by some scarce soldiers which were not all that many in the area to begin with; seems like his squad's been busy alright. Entering inside he made his way across the main administration desk to find some medical staff, they know full well he's not one of the Komodo Unit and will not attack; but they will call for help from the other soldiers as they're not brave to stand up against him. Shooting some venom serums to knock them all out and proceed on all while finding a empty room near the bed, it was when Hervatlock contacted him
"One of our men just spotted a new kind of Komodo Attack Glider nearby, I'm thankful you're back at the nick of time; and I can see the drugs aren't there. Better check the others then and take your time searching each of them in order" Hervatlock informed him
"Just keep laying on the ground and don't get up. The malaria might've gotten worse when I left to lose the heat back at the communications base" Mikekolt told him before going offline
Having taken out the medical staff he dragged them to his other comrades hiding in a box in the meantime before searching the other rooms, which he did just that as he got a group of their own medical team on their list of squad members. Mikekolt walked through the hallway of each room searching for the anti-malaria drugs while his other men scouted the hospital in the position as if they're patrolling on through, all given areas to seek out intruders while in a sense carrying soldiers back to the truck secretly because the Arsenal-Fox whom they all gave and called him by the name thought that he's better off doing all the fighting. After looking and searching plenty of other rooms there weren't any sign of the drugs to be found, he got contacted by Hervatlock and suggested something wasn't right here; using the shipping log will shed some light on things at the director's office. So he gathered a three man squad by his side and headed upstairs of the main building, finding the shipment log on the desk laid out for them to read
According to the shipment log on the desk of the hospital director the drugs were all used as it was a large supplement for quite a rather small medical facility like this one. Every last one has been hauled out to the research lab north from where they're at, this will turn into a race against times if the drugs were used up at the lab. Damn the Komodo Unit, the natives aren't the only ones coming down with drug resistant malaria as well; even the soldiers can't fight when they're infected with a tropical parasite like that. Just then in the distance high above there was a Lakotanbvell A84-Attack Chopper flying near the hospital in search of him and his ill fallen ally, looks like Lt. Bostonswelter found out the two escaped the prison and were all now ordering a search team on them; an ambush if more like to recapture him
Lakotanbvell A84-Attack Choppers were large in their own right as both sides featured a cargo bay door that slid down to the back for adding additional items, passenger doors that hinged upwards on both the left and right of the helicopter. Two pilot seats on the top to bottom, an seat on the top pilots the vehicle while the bottom operates the weapons which both raising upward glass window doors were large enough to not bump their heads when flying. Pair of two submachine guns on the backsides of the attack chopper on the lower pilot's seat were found. Dual interweaving rotors that were kept inside protected and not exposed out in the open on the back while there were two wings going diagonally downwards to the bottom, as they were loaded with a ten missile count box that could be fired out from; while the top had a thinner trapezoid shape that fired out an chained restricting net to capture and constrict the victims the more they struggled, being weighed down by heavy balls on each end. Some gear on the bottom that could be raised or lowered for landing as they were tank tracks, with dual pairs of landing skids on the bottom with two of each next to each other on the left and right sides. There were multiple rescue lines to carry even the heaviest of cargo back somewhere to where a base was posted, the propellers on the top consisted of three that spun rapidly in a matter of seconds; the soldiers who were carried on board had a infantry release trap door that sent them rappelling down with their restraining cables to swing from and reach the low ground. This is also the kind of attack chopper to be equipped with missiles that split into an multitude of many, just so they can leave no enemy unscathed from their assault. Finally, this attack chopper although being a multi-purpose helicopter for it's multiple features; is still the ideal way for aerial assault and the tank tracks themselves are tightened so they don't dangle in the air if by accident, they're released by the pilot themselves
"Where are the prisoners chief and why have they not been caught as of now? They did not escape this region because the soldiers reported some cells are empty, but if they escaped San Hjierantruvalo then I will make sure you pay the price greatly for this!" Lt. Bostonswelter was piloting the attack chopper and talking to the chief-in-command from the tanker incident several months ago
"Castlekroftservkhall has not left as I assure you that his last transmission was monitored at the communications base, he was denied help and backup from mainland Whiteburah Isle; I intercepted that transmission and posed as his friend to give him false information about his situation to lead him astray. There are no reinforcements arriving and no rescues being made while no backup or cavalry coming to aid him. What I'm doing is misleading him with info that will lead him to the wrong path. That information since his escape is supposed to kill him-" The chief-in-command was then interrupted by Bostonswelter who didn't want to hear more blabbering
"Enough of this! Call Luciftreuz and get him back here, he will lead the search team as well as assure that the research lab stays secure at all times" Lt. Bostonswelter ordered the chief-in-command as his patience was running low by this point, either he gets the microfilm or his execution. Alongside him behind the seat was the same machete wielding man who was asleep and a cloaked man who unknown to the others was actually their leader Grashunov. He looked down to the hospital's lower window and spotted Mikekolt watching them from above, it took a while for him to guess his identity before confirming that it was him; it was Castlekroftservkhall whose been leading a one man army against his forces. Too bad he had no knowledge on the truth that one of his own had betrayed his family, his name happened to be Pieuvrekolt who was worse than a treacherous weasel or a slithering liar of a snake. In order to show what kind things he was capable of he decided to tell his lieutenant about the intruder at the hospital, he wants to show him what scars that the Warlords gave to him after removing him from office at San Hjierantruvalo
Mikekolt moved away from the shuddered windows and left the hospital building, returning to the truck afterwards before driving out of sight; moving to somewhere in the region that's north of the hospital. It was there that the squad started talking about what was gathered by him and them together
Not a single does of the malaria drugs in the hospital and every last shipment was hauled off to the research lab up north according to the shipment log, not only do the squad know what the location of it was but the flight path of the attack chopper was followed back to the next destination. The research lab was at least two stories tall and built on some terrain that's hard to spot from the outside, although one of the floor was accessible; this was because the rest were locked off as the main floor contained various terminals to equipment for research as well as monitoring the soldier who attacked Mikekolt that night's status. That lab also contained smaller buildings being used for storage of various materials, equipment to medicine including the likes of the anti-malaria preventive drugs and ammunition as well. There also happened to be a heliport that's in disrepair. Mikekoly learned many soldiers that his first blood captured all in one while he was absent, learning of their strengths to many of their downfalls as they've got medical staff for their squad; though when one of them saw his blueprints for a remote mission support droid they had to question him
"Arsenal-Fox, mind explaining the RC remote mission droid you call it here?" One of his men asked him
"A miniature tank shaped droid meant to deliver support to the allies like us, provide ammo as well as act like reconnaissance; activate Octoflauge abilities and electrocute to stun whom comes in contact with it's electrical retractable restraining cable on the side of it's body. Have them knocked out of the fight and has wheels for the feet with a mini viewing screen to give soldiers a map and communication on the left side, while the cable's on the right side. Though flapping that display like a wing may cause some serious heart melting though, just try not to let that happen when using this because no matter how adorable it behaves; it's still a supportive tool nevertheless" Mikekolt explained as he was writing down all of the features on the tool of sorts
"You're not down on all those soldiers out there with smaller hands than yours judging by the controller used for the droid is designed, thinking we should call it the Duke Controller" One of the soldiers speculated as the others agreed on the name
"I have yet to set up a technical unit for our squad and already I'm getting requests to build it, name of the droid will be called the Arsenal Komodo MK VII/VIII" Mikekolt shook his head and decided that it'll be the first thing that's created, though he will not need to use it so much as it'll be for places he can't spy on without exposing himself in the process. "Arsenal-Fox is the one the Komodo Unit has a reason to keep fighting and therefore, I designed this to help us out in a squad made of disgruntled soldiers" Mikekolt explained the name
As the night fell on the peninsula like before Mikekolt drove to the research lab and made an stop at the entrance of the only part that was accessible to them, jumping out as he would let his soldiers handle the recruiting around here while he did the fighting. The drugs will be the first thing he finds inside and fires a round of venom serums to knock them out for the others to take them. Meanwhile his men pinpointed a number of several things such as a heliport on the top floor and once he was finished knocking them out, he took over his main objective as he got himself a move on. Heading through the tall raised corridors with few lights that lit the pathway. Eventually he came up the ramp to find the heliport mentioned before and choose to spy on their leader, see what he's capable of as well as learn something new about whom it was that attacked him that night
"What's his status now?" Lt. Bostonswelter asked as one of the medical staff informed him
"His memory is currently being reinitialized and readjusting his nerves in the tank, by this kind of estimate it'll take... at least another twelve hours before he's ready to fight again" The staff informed him
"Half a day on this peninsula? He has to be readjusted after each deployment and he's not that much better than a prototype, hell a test subject at least" Lt. Bostonswelter grimaced
"The fluid in the tank takes time to prepare an with such limited equipment along with some personnel, readjusting our razor honed soldier isn't as-" The medical staff was interrupted by him as he told him he knew
"I understand because that's why I expected better from the medical chief, the prisoners are taking their time in letting us know they're here to be found. We'll bring out the tank as soon as the fluid is stabilized as this is the perfect job for our soldier, make all the necessary preparations for when we find the main escaped prisoner Castlekroftservkhall and Hervatlock" Lt. Bostonswelter ordered
"Understood sir" The medical staff replied before leaving
Grashunov felt something had went wrong when he was alerted by the medical chief about what was about to happen, he understood and grabbed Lt. Bostonswelter in order to stop his movement; he predicted that the scaffolding above was unstable and would be coming down just about now. The steel rods broken away with wooden planks falling to the ground, worker after another fell from the top and over the railings; hitting the stone floor with hard impacts all in the same. Most to half of the scaffolding collapsed into a pile as the three all remained unharmed in the slightest but not so much for the workers, with a wounded one asking their leader and lieutenant if the both of them were alright. Grashunov remained silent before he spoke: "We are not wounded in the slightest" He replied
"Forgive us Mr. President, are there any wounds you sustained?" The soldier asked the former president
"Fate never sees one removed from office thanks to the Warlords be damned like me hurt, now just lie still and do not move; I am calling in a medical team to assist in the treatment" Grashunov contacted the Komodo Medics and had them take the man off to the hospital of which they flew over by the side from the attack chopper. He then turned to the man and as he started to announce to the other workers, a golden electrical shockwave brusted out from his mouth and amplified his charisma filled speech that altered the minds of those he gave falsehood loyalty and strength to those who followed; swelling up with powerful trusting emotions in his soldiers but also to instill fear into enemies to cause riots to break out. All in all it's the power of persuasion more or less, here is what he says:
"This is your President of San Hjierantruavlo speaking as I apologize for all sense of urgency of what has transpired so far: do not think for a moment I hold the work that was all built in effort above your lives in the highest of regards. This research lab being built is what will be necessary in order to ensure the new nation of mercenaries becomes our reality, what has happened here is the work of the Warlords who have betrayed us. It is absolutely vital to the strong roots of our nation that the three of them must pay with their blood staining on those resignation papers that they have presented to me at the office. But do not forget that you of all resources here are no less valuable than that of I myself trapped to adorn this infernal suit of an armored skeleton. One that will lead the deadliest and most capable army the Hunters have ever seen, one that will end the time of when the Archipelago's warriors are discarded like tools; pawns and puppets of their superiors. Thus it is you who are her first citizens and nothing below our riches to spirits of fighting. I can only pray that such priceless people and resources shall not be sacrificed in vain because of them!"
Grashunov finished as all of them lined up in front of him ready to take his orders as he had won their hearts and minds with his premonition. Mikekolt heard everything before leaving as he could not listen in on anymore of what he has to say to his fellow men, leaving for the sleeping tank as he heard from the doctor; believing it to be in the main floor of the research lab
He arrived at the main floor where he found the tank that housed the soldier who attacked him that night, finding his machete wielding enemy asleep as he looked over his unconscious body. He looked so peaceful and when looking around he found his weapon and his sidearm hung up on the board
His armor was on display while his appearance looks like this: he was an late teenager with a bladed mullet that went down the starting point of his spinal cord, having a darkened v-shaped to eastern wide chin strap stubble beard on him that grew lightly
He was also naked but his groin was not exposed to a loincloth blanket that was laid on him softly but in that chamber looked cold as the winters of the Archipelago due to the frost on the screen. Mikekolt went over to the desk and looked down at the papers to read up about his attacker, his name happened to be Zero for that matter
There wasn't that much to say about his armor as his lower body looked the same like his war armor shinguards, though his upperbody was given some change as the front of his shoulders were exposed; not having any sleeves at that matter and wearing sleeve gloves as well that's all armored plated in between with large hole perforated plating. His right arm which was his machete arm was a darkblood red color but that was just about it. A harness on his upperbody that acted like his belt for his melee weapon and that's just about all he could really see from him. There's not that much he can find about Zero which only made him more intimidating by the looks of that
Finding a box of anti-malaria preventive drugs inside he took it from the shelf before heading to a chute that neither of the staff but the medical personnel knew about, that is until a door opened to find a nurse standing by. "This room is supposed to be off limits, but if it's the anti-malaria drugs you're looking for; you came to the right place" The nurse told him as she came to him
"You knew I was coming for them, medical chief I assume" Mikekolt spoke as she came to him
"Komodo Unit's medical chief is elsewhere at the moment, head through the chute to escape and go to the bay; you'll find an surviving member of the unit there. One that will help in your mission to confront our leader" The nurse told him as Mikekolt did not question on why she was helping him, but instead nodded before jumping into the chute and coming outside of the building just as some agents came in
"Are you alone, we've just received information that there's a intruder" The first one asked her
"Someone reported seeing a suspicious truck parked nearby" The second one informed her
The nurse denied any and all questions asked before having them leave as she was ordered to prepare Zero for readjustments for another twelve hours in the morning. In the meantime as Mikekolt and his squad got away from the research lab, one of the soldiers talked to him of setting up a spy unit to make better use of the new recruits they're picking up one by one. He agreed on this and began to send them out to different locations in San Hjierantruvalo, sooner or later he will be meeting with Grashunov; find out what he plans to do and stop him. But as with every bit of new intel he discovers, the Komodo Unit have new inventions based on him and his allies to ensure their victory in taking him down. Especially when Grashunov's ambitions become clear as to why he's targeting what he seeks to destroy, it's going to get a lot more worse up ahead
Before we go any further I'd like to introduce some variations in the Komodo Unit soldiers in a term of their looks and what they appear to be. So here we go: not all Komodo Unit soldiers look identical to each other as each of them have their own aesthetic look to them, such as the officers and snipers like the ones down below here listed
Komodo Officers for example: flattop to visor caps that covered their ears with cowls to hide their mouths and noses. Having black combat uniforms with some armored plating like all of the others based off the Naval Infantry of Russia and high armored officer's boots. Two belts with two parallel suspenders going over their shoulders and wielding a carbine crossbow on hand
Komodo Snipers: a few of these soldiers utilize ghillie suits to maximize their Octoflauge tech on the environments like these. Armed with those semi-auto Chinese Sako TRG M10X-Z/M10 Lapua Magnum sniper rifle based crossbows which in actuality both are bolt action rifles, one reload for every shot that's made. Their uniforms are a combination between the officers and the minigunners. An armored snapback cap with the visor bill of an baseball cap and of course a communication headset like the heavy gunners
Komodo Commanders: known to wear berets that don't droop to the sides due to looking like it's excess waste based off the French berets sporting the Komodo Unit flag slanted near the right side. Wearing armor that's a combination between the heavy gunners and minigunners alike with their chests exposed although they wore an plated undershirt when it came down to that. Their gloves were full sleeves that covered their arms up to their fingers. Wearing the same communication headset as before with flat rectangular to square shaped earmuffs, and shiftable ribbed handband with microphone swivel on the side. Wields full-auto crossbows and throws grenades as well as use knives to slash if someone gets too close
Komodo Medics: White armor based off the heavy gunners and officers with heavy vest that sported five large pouches on the front as well as on their belts, their shoulder guards had a red cross as well as having a minigunner backpack that also had pouches filled with medical supplies; with wiring that powered their defibrillator gauntlets. Their helmets were beehive shaped and carried tuskless shields to help protect the victim from gunfire while they are in the process of going through procedures to bring their lives back on the line. Their weapons consisted of serum jet injector guns with a heavy carbine to keep enemies at bay, but their most dangerous weapon was the defibrillator gauntlets which can provide them with barriers of electricity; but once their victims were down and revived back into the fight, they can't do it again as the ultimate price for this kind of support. The reason is because the defibrillator has to be charged before it can be used again, by the time it is charged enough to emit the life saving capability; the victim is long gone dead
Komodo Grapplers were brutes who were armed with stronger armor as well as one of their more infamous features: electrical charged scorpion pincers that can block against flaming sword strikes while their armor was thicker as well but can still be taken down with effort. Bigger and more profoundly vicious than the other brutes as they can smash through stone walls, crush and impale their enemies as well as obstacles in their way. They excelled greatly at close quarters combat as they could grapple their enemies before slamming them to the ground, throwing them off to the sides and smash them further all by holding them at their legs. They also had some projectile bombs that they can shoot out from their pincers as well. Finally, these soldiers were lethal in unarmed combat as they don't need weapons to show why they're the most deadly of them all
Komodo Parasoldiers shared the same brute design of their armor but with a more bulkier look to them on their upper armor that made them look like a Frontliner in similiar vein but are not actually the same soldier in fact. Not only are they armed with dual arm blades and arm mounted dual shot crossbows, but also a large disc shield based off the Tusked Shield's combat mode that was also electrical to block sword strikes. In addition they had jetpacks on the back to let them hover and gave them a high degree of mobility to allow them in either harassing from a distance or charge at them in close quarter combat. They had two long horizontal flat type wings on the top while having two shorter horizontal ones on the bottom. Finally, these were actually bulked up Komodo Unit soldiers who were armed with aerial advantages but if one of the wings is taken down as there were high hopes for this design; down they go crashing to the earth and aside from that Parasoldiers as their name had gave a suggestion, were made for high altitude drops
Komodo Frontliners were brutes who wore the thickest and bulkier armor plating based off Grashunov's exoskeleton, the chestplate had ribbed segments on the front muscle outlining from the top to the bottom; wearing a ribbed muscle undershirt armor underneath while the heads were a little sunken underneath the raised neck guard. Having a full crotch plate along with thigh armor as well as biceps and vambracers that along with the rest of the armor were all thicker and bulkier, even the shoulder guards themselves. On the sides of their wrists were mounted Stoker Flamenentatels as they blazed through opposing enemy lines. On their backs were believe it or not large jetpacks that was found on the Komodo Attack Gliders as a pair of dual exhaust ports were found on the left to right and center close to each other, with a mounted missile on the top center to fire towards their enemies. Their attack method was to rush their enemies through their jetpacks increasing their speed against them, where they can backhand bitch slap the smaller lads while flying past them and crush them under a bear hug where they slammed their backs against theirs two times and then on their knees; these Frontliners would then slam them to the ground and use their flamethrowers on the victims. Finally, they can clear out enemy lines and obstructions that blocked their way with greater power in their strength
Komodo Eviscerators were assassins who wore full armor even when their skin were exposed underneath since they wore black ribbed tank tops underneath their chests, this allowed the assassins to become incredibly dexterous and agile to avoid attacks with no obstruction at all to their movements. Having two long serrated scimitar like blades as seen on the Sky Stick as they both flipped from their elbows which extended to their reach and increased their lethal nature. These blades spun out from a position that could be locked in place to follow the kind of upper arm and forearm movements when they swung their weapons at their opponents as they were also given the name of Komodo Assassins. They wore battleskirts kept on by a belt with two pouches on each hip next to each other in a row, carrying Scorpion crossbows as the side arms that also had bayonet blades attached to them. Komodo Eviscerators also used the sniper rifles to execute intruders as well. Finally, bulking up did not make them slower as the eviscerators might not be heavily armored as much but they still can bulk up like all of them; their speed made them deadlier and hell on their opponent's stamina to try and land a single strike on them
Komodo Unit soldiers which are the standard troops have two of the same classifications in a sense: one who utilizes full-auto crossbows and one who uses swords as their main weapons. All of them have access to the restraining cables mounted on their wrists to apprehend their attackers. There are females in the unit but most of them are men with two halves being female to add in diversity. What do you think about this now? Seems legit doesn't it and makes a little more sense as well. Oh and one more thing for me to post here, the appearance of the Arsenal Komodo MK. VII:
The Arsenal Komodo MK. VII/VIII had a thick and wide trapezoid shaped body, with a three clawed tentacle on the right side which also had a cylinder cuff on the end of the claws; there was also a rectangular shaped viewing screen that went out to the left side acted like it's wing. The bottom of the body had the top of an spherical octagon with a medium to thin shape disc that had downward slanted edges. The pelvis joint was a vertical pointed inverted trapezoid that went forward and back, with a ball in the center which was where the two rods from the legs connected to; a round wheel shaped joint on the top of the legs. Having a trapezoid head on the top connected to two extending hinged rods on the top of it's body that also extended up and retracted downwards into the body, with eight laser like lenses on it's front face. The thighs sharply went down but not quite to the knees that went forward, before the ankles on both legs went the same way down to the wheels. On the back were roofed covers while the wheels on both legs allowed it to move more flexibly on rough terrain. Finally, this is just an prototype and not the final version as the real one will have more features than this
