Chapter 20: The Heinous Hex (Part 3)
Order then wall jumped over SNT and used his body strength to slam the chimera back to the ground.
The magma creature then got off of the chimera and spawned a small flame from his fist.
"Look into my eyes SNT!!! And tell me the truth!! Did you poison Alicia and Cream in the chao garden?!!" Order shouted,
As SNT slowly got back to her feet, Order quickly grabbed the chimera by the throat and began choking her,
"Order... I know you can't remember... But..." SNT shouted as she was suffocating, "You have to... remember... You have to remember that me and Alicia are... friends!"
Order gasped upon hearing the chimera's words. He let go of SNT's throat; causing SNT to fall to her knees to catch her breath.
But as the chimera was trying to breathe again, Order began to create an earthquake around himself and his prey.
"Friends?!! Don't make me laugh!!!" Order growled,
The chimera then got closer to the magma creature and looked the creature in the eye, "It's true Order. There was also a time where I even considered you as a friend."
The magma creature gasped once again, "What?!!!"
"You are the god of salvation, Chaos' brother, and the second guardian of the Master Emerald."
SNT then got closer and closer to Order, "If my words can't convince you, then listen to my heart. Cause if you don't then you will listen TO MY FIST!!!" SNT shouted as she made a fist towards Order; threatening him.
Suddenly, her special aura began to glow around her body. This caused Order to feel uncomfortable around the chimera.
"...Erk..." Order grunted in confusion.
Once the special aura stopped glowing around the chimera, she slowly placed her hand over Order's shoulder. "If Alicia and Cream are hurt, then let me help you."
"SNT... You?..." Order looked at her while raising an eyebrow.
Suddenly, their conversation was cut short when SOR ran towards them and aimed her gatling gun towards the chimera.
"What are you doing Order? You have the abomination right where you want her! Now quit stalling and finish her off!!!" SOR yelled.
Order then turned around to look SNT deep in the eyes.
"What are you doing? FINISH HER!!!" SOR demanded.
The magma creature then lowered his head, and spawned a flame from his hand once again, "Forgive me SNT..."
But suddenly, Order closed his fist and swung his hand open towards SOR, emitting a flamethrower in her direction.
"But it would seem like I've acted too hastily." Order chuckled.
"Order!!!" SNT smiled with delight. She then ran towards the magma creature to give him a big hug.
Nearby, SOR was down on the ground; injured from Order's sudden attack.
She then slowly returned to her feet and spawned her gatling gun once again towards the chimera.
As SOR readied her weapon, the rest of the Heinous Hex gathered around to investigate what was happening with one of their members.
"Order... what are you doing?!!!" Tarantula shouted,
The magma creature responded by taking up his fighting stance against his former teammates.
"Cream once told me to trust my heart. And I owe it to her to do exactly that!" Order responded.
The 8-legged drone grinned, "Oh Order, Order, Order, if you really trust your heart? Then kill the person who hurt your friends." Tarantula then lifted his claw and pointed it towards SNT.
But Order shook his head, "No... I can tell that SNT didn't do it!!
I know... because of this feeling... an overwhelming scream deep inside my mind. Can you hear it?" Order shouted while looking at his former leader.
"This is no time to play games Order, finish the job!!!" The 8-legged spider growled.
"Heh heh... And this pitiful scream inside my head. It's telling me... DO NOT LET SNT DIE!!!" The magma creature roared as he began to emit flames around his body, while SNT took up her fighting stance.
But Tarantula gave Order an unimpressed look and face palmed himself with his claw. "Why do heroes always have to scream their feelings?!"
Suddenly, SNT began to curl into a ball while Order took to the air and began to fly towards his former teammates.
But before Order can attack Tarantula by covering his body into a mobians sized fireball, his attack was intercepted by Tarantula's laser; sending the magma creature crashing into a wall.
But something strange was happening, Order only managed to take minor damage from Tarantula's laser.
The magma creature then slowly lifted his hand and began to absorb the drone's laser. Once the laser was fully absorbed, the laser itself shrank into nothingness.
"I'll show you true fear!!!" Order yelled as he swung his arm and shot out the exact same laser Tarantula attacked him with.
Realizing what was happening, the Heinous Hex tried to retreat from the direction of the laser, "Thunderwave, SOR... go after SNT, she must not leave this place alive!!!" Tarantula shouted.
Eventually, Order's attack missed his teammates, but half of the stadium erupted in flames.
Meanwhile, SNT was avoiding a barrage of bullets from SOR's gatling gun.
Frustrated, the red and purple chimera spawned a knife from her pocket and began slicing and hacking away towards SNT.
But SNT grabbed onto SOR's hands and struck her face with a tail whip attack.
She then posed for the camera by stretching out her hand and performing the peace sign.
But funny enough, the audience was too busy evacuating the stadium, as they were all panicking and running for their lives.
SNT then rolled her eyes annoyed, "Finally, some peace and quiet!"
Meanwhile, somewhere near the blast site; Void, the ministers and the girls were still unconscious after getting attacked by the Heinous Hex earlier.
Eventually, Void was the first to wake up, followed by Catney and Saki simultaneously.
By the time everyone got back to their feet. Void walked towards the area where the flames were burning, "Oh no!!! SNT!!! Where are you?!!" Void shouted,
All of a sudden, as Void heard a chimera spin dashing nearby, he turned around and met up with STAK's spin dash attack. The male chimera bowled the poor anti-virus and the 2 girls over like bowling pins.
But Void wasn't ready to call it quits. He slowly got back to his feet while holding onto his side.
Furious, STAK curled into a ball again and tried to spin dash once again.
Only this time, STAK used his upper body weight to side Void in midair. Thus, slamming him into a wall.
But Void was smart this time; he quickly drew his sword and stabbed STAK's tails downward, causing both the robot and the male chimera to fall to the ground. STAK reacted to the stab but didn't look to be in pain. The anti-virus knew he had to get distance from the male chimera and escape. He couldn't overpower him. Not in this current state at least.
Void then quickly got to his feet, loaded a thermal clip into his sword and fired an energy beam towards the male chimera. STAK's fur was seared but he didn't seem to feel it.
"Catney... Saki..." Void whispered as he ran to o check on the girls. He grabbed hold of them to get them all out of the male chimera's sight before he recovered from the blast.
As Void got the girls to a safer location, STAK coughed from the fresh burns and landed on his knees. He punched the ground as his angst aura flared in his frustration, "Dammit!!! F*ed over by another stupid robot! Why can't they just stay f*ing down?!"
Nearby, Void gently put Catney and Saki back to their feet, "Ladies are you okay?"
"I think so?" The cat girl responded looking unsure.
But all of a sudden, a group of Infinite clones dressed up as Saki but with white school uniform; as opposed to black. They began to surround the trio with AK47s in hand. They raised their rifles towards the pair and began to wait for instructions.
Funny enough, nearby was a conveniently placed sub machine gun that was located a few feet away from saki.
She quickly rolled the gun over, clocked it and began to smell the metal from the gun's armor itself, "Oh yeah..." Saki smiled with bliss.
She then began to open fire on all the Infinite clones, destroying them instantly before they could even shoot her.
Meanwhile, Catney quickly transformed back into her magical girl uniform.
As this was happening, Infinite the jackal quickly charged towards her, and tried to launch a projectile towards her.
But Catney was unphased by his attack.
"NO!!! IT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!!" Infinite shouted as he started to panic.
"Psssh, are you done? Good... My turn now!" Catney smirked.
Catney then spawned a giant golden ax, and charged towards Infinite. She then performed a Shin Goku Tatsu (Raging Demons) attack towards Infinite before slamming him to the ground with her giant ax.
Tarantula wasn't happy with what he was witnessing, "How could this happen?!!! I had everything sorted out!!! Everyone of that experiment's enemies all in one team!
All those virus lessons; taking over Content Control... infecting that stupid rabbit and that worthless porcupine!!! Attacking the chaos!! Kidnapping the condemned!!! I should be winning!! I cannot be defeated by the likes of those filthy animals!!!"
As Tarantula was lamenting on his failed plans to destroy SNT, Thunderwave quickly scooped up all the injured members of the Heinous Hex, and blasted off; away from the destroyed monastery.
Back on the ground, Order was just standing next to the 8-legged drone the entire time while he was monologuing about his failure,
"What... was that... you said?!!" Order growled,
Tarantula was so startled by the magma creature's presence that he began to crawl away from the creature.
"Order!! Wh-where you..." Tarantula stuttered.
But Order immediately interrupted the 8-legged drone by emitting fire from his fist.
He then jumped forward and placed his burning hand towards the drone's mouth, thus gagging him with the very metal he was created with.
"Silence!! I don't want to hear another word from your mouth!!!" Order yelled.
Furious, Tarantula spawned his claws and tried to punch, uppercut and swipe at the magma creature.
But Order managed to avoid every attack that was thrown towards him.
He then reached for one of Tarantula's claws and grabbed hold of it. "Oh no, you're not gonna stop what's about to happen!"
He then snapped it off of the drone's body, and stabbed Tarantula with his own claw.
Tarantula then tried to perform another laser eye attack on the magma creature.
But Order quickly spun his tail like a fan; creating a shield to protect himself from Tarantula's laser. He then jumped over one of the spider-looking drone's hand and slammed his body onto the ground.
"YES!!! THAT'S HOW IT FEELS!!!" Both Void and SNT shouted in unison as they were cheering from the sidelines.
Order then noticed another hand that was attempting to shoot a web towards the magma creature.
But before the spider drone's hand could wrap the magma creature with the spider web, Order just simply touched the spider web, causing the entire hand to engulf in flames, and burn into a cinder.
With one last attempt to destroy Order, Tarantula unleashed his second claw towards the magma creature.
But Order quickly side-stepped to the side and grabbed the claw from the drone's body before snapping it off.
Order then lifted the clam and struck Tarantula's face, causing the spider-looking drone to short circuit.
He then quickly grabbed Tarantula by the throat and growled, "This is for everyone you hurt!!!"
Order then stood on top of the 8-legged drone and engulfed himself into a large fireball; thus, destroying Tarantula within the flames.
He then turned around and ran off to greet his new friends,
"ORDER!!! YOU DID IT!!! YOU KILLED TARANTULA!!!" SNT showed excitingly,
"It's the most I could do for all the trouble I caused you." Order chuckled.
Void then slowly approached the magma creature looking shocked, "Umm, excuse me Order? If that truly is your name... how in the hell did you manage to beat Tarantula so easily?"
Order closed his eyes and responded, "A machine built like that has no chance against the power of a god." In the distance, a male chimera's face blushed at seeing all of this happen.
He then turned towards the anti-viruses, "But more importantly... Can you really help Alicia and Cream?!"
Minister Sophos slowly approached the magma creature and smiled, "Yes. But OneHalf's unique payload makes removal harder. Simply removing the virus and cleaning up the MBR (Master Boot Record) will leave the data encrypted, requiring backups to restore it.
As such, our special tool which only we of the United Anti-Virus movement are authorized to use is needed to decrypt the entire hard disk before removing the virus."
Order laughed, "Heh! I didn't understand a thing you just said, but if you're saying that you can save them... then that's all I need to hear."
"Noted." Void responded while nodding his head, "Now let's get out of here."
Order then got on all fours and began to ignite like a fireball. He then jumped into the air and threw himself into the boulders that were blocking the exit for our heroes.
Once Order destroyed the boulders with his human torch powers, the exit door was finally open for our heroes to make their escape.
"Yes!!! We're free!!! FREEDOM!!!!" Catney shouted with joy as she ran for the exit.
Order then turned his head towards the chimera and the anti-virus robots, "Past here is the exit of Sin Serials, and the entrance to Content Control HQ. There, you'll find all the victims that those b*ds kidnapped."
"WELL, WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR?!!! LET'S KICK THEIR A*S!!! VIVA LA RESISTANCE!!!" Saki shouted while lifting her fist in the air.
And with that, SNT, Order, the 2 girls and the anti-virus robots were all heading towards the exit of the monastery.
Meanwhile, somewhere in a dark village near the now destroyed monastery of the Sin Serials, Thunderwave had touched down on the roof of the largest house in the village.
Once on the ground, the remaining survivors of the Heinous Hex disembarked from Thunderwave's claws.
"Ughh, where am I? What happened ?!!" SOR moaned while trying to feel her head,
But suddenly, STAK jumped up and landed on his feet; ready to put up a fight, "Why did you take me away from there?! I don't need anyone's help! I could have outlasted them all and destroy them!"
"It would seem that doesn't matter for we have lost." Infinite responded with his eyes closed and his arms crossed.
Frustrated, STAK took out his piko piko hammer and slammed it towards Thunderwave, "Just like Eggman, that stupid robot spider couldn't keep control over one of his most powerful members!!! But at least Eggman didn't get killed from it!!! And now Order is gone, and I never got to kill that robot-boyfriend of SNT's!!!"
SOR looked at STAK confused, "Wait, Tarantula was the leader? I was following Infinite!!!"
Infinite chuckled, "And I expected better from SNT's 'Arch Nemesis'. And did you hear his voice go bust after what Order did to him?... How pathetic."
"Is this the thanks we get for listening to a stupid robot?! I knew better than to join a team lead by a robot!" STAK shouted,
All of a sudden, a dark monotone voice began to speak towards the group, "That's because he never gave you the recognition that you all deserve."
Frightened, everyone huddled around Thunderwave and took up their fighting stance,
"And who might you be?" Infinite asked while pointing towards the air.
"I ye be the only robot who hasn't lost a single battle in over the last 10 years." The sinister voice responded.
SOR quickly took out her knife and began swinging it around in hopes to intimidate the mysterious figure, "Don't even think about trying to fight us!!!"
"Who says that I have intentions of putting up a fight with you?" The dark voice spoke once again, "After all, divided... you seem to have fallen. But together... We can conquer the anti-virus world, and spread fear into the hearts of millions.
All I offer of you in return, is the truth."
Infinite seemed confused, "Truth? What truth?"
"You are all nothing but puppets, being controlled by an arachnid robot with no control over authority. For the last 10 years since I've been a leader, I've held control over many armies. I can turn you all into true killing machines, as I've done to my fellow soldiers; time and time again." The voice explained.
STAK wasn't amused, "You're talking some big talk over there! How about you prove it to us?! I'm a man of action rather than pretty words!!!"
SOR then took a few steps forward and asked, "Who the hell are you?"
Suddenly, a mysterious silhouette emerged from the walls of a nearby rooftop and began to approach the troubled team.
As he walked towards what was left of the Heinous Hex, his dragon wings began to sprout and his eyes began to glow red.
"My name is Dragon. And I am a true leader, in every sense of the word. I have shut down hundreds of virus author groups, invaded the U.A.V academy. And I never lost any of those battles in the last decade." The figure responded while bowing before the group.
"But that's not important. What matters now, is the fact that we all survived the destruction atop Sin Serials. It is truly a victory in and of itself. But if we should win, and IF we win... then we can all get what we want!!!... VENGEANCE!!!" Dragon roared.
Dragon then raised his arm and raised his hand towards the two chimeras, "So you must be... STAK. And you must be... SOR. How lovely."
Both STAK and SOR hesitated at first. But they eventually softened up to Dragon and shook his hand.
Dragon then slowly began to walk towards Infinite's direction, "And you must be Infinite. Content Control has told me a lot about you."
Without hesitating, Infinite and Dragon immediately shook hands with one another.
And finally, Dragon focused his attention on Thunderwave, "And you must be Thunderwave... Yes, I've seen all your profiles back at Content Control HQ. A mute one, aren't you?"
"..." Thunderwave responded with static radio frequency.
"Hmmm, very well then..." Dragon chuckled, "Welcome aboard the new Heinous Hex... Dragons!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!"
But as Dragon was laughing maniacally, his laugh was suddenly interrupted by Thunderwave's radio static. "..."
Dragon looked back at the large robot confused, "Huh? What is it?"
"..." Thunderwave replied,
Dragon was shocked, "You found the whereabouts of Tarantula's remains?"
"..." Thunderwave said as it nodded its head.
Suddenly, Dragon's eyes slowly began to glow red, "...Show me."
