Part 9

Soldiers had invaded the avenue, they had orders to kill on sight. Several Mods came flying in to the scene, bursting and attacking the genarian. “STOP!” screamed Mark, “Don’t atta...”. His head shot back as the genarian hit him. Yoh drew her swords and burst, catching the foe by surprise, throwing him to the ground. She jumped and aimed with her swords, but he dodged, attacking fiercely. Tens of Mods and soldiers were there. The genarian looked around for a second, then disappeared into the ground. “Where’s he gone?” thought Torandis. A huge explosion engulfed the whole place, as all the tanks, helicopters, cars and mechs blew up. All the men were slammed into the ground. “Return to base ASAP. He will come here, and you need your medicine.” said Commander Thuman.

“Sir, should we make preparations?” asked Thuman, turning to General Sorges. The other Division Commanders were wondering the same. “Turn on the defence system. Droids and all. I’ll get ready.”. Not 5 minutes had passed, an explosion was heard inside the UHQ. General Sorges was about to take his serum, so he made sure he hurried. Up in ground level, EF, as he came to be called grabbed an arm, smashed the head with his elbow, grabbed a rifle from the ground and shot three more soldiers to death. Speeding through the hall, he came across 2 droids, spitting bullets so fast, not even him could dodge. So he broke a wall and ran as fast as he could, breaking several other walls. He was being chased by more droids now, but he noticed the trip-wire and led them to the trap. He just kept running without looking back. He heard the explosion behind him, and more droids and soldiers came before him. A Mod was among them, and he was bursting with energy. EF erupted in flames. Enraged, he deflected all the bullets the droids and soldiers fired at him, killed and destroying all of them except the Mod, who was already upon him, striking away at his chest. EF simply grabbed him and blew him apart. With a punch, he broke the ground below him, reaching the first floor, right on top of Sorge’s apartment.

Mark, Torandis and Yoh were travelling as fast as possible through the city, they could see the UHQ already. A tank approached them and a soldier inside halted them. They stopped and said “We are to reinforce the Head Quarters ASAP. Let us through.” The soldier just grinned.

“Did you think you could defeat me?”

“No, but I want to make you see the chaos, the tragedy, the suffering you’ve put me through!”

“I never intended for this.”

In the UHQ, EF was rampant, set ablaze with his full power, he sped through the halls, destroying everything. That was, until he reached a certain section. It was full of traps. Contraptions of all sorts, which he couldn’t be sure to mess with. After all, they were engineered by Mr. Sorges, and he couldn’t cross his heart that they weren’t dangerous even to him.

General Sorges came in, along with a huge army of Norms, Mods and droids. Sorges halted EF as he was about to initiate another strike. “Why don’t we settle this like grown men? Why don’t you stop this madness once and for all?”. EF kept silent. The ground was melting around him with the heat irradiating from his body. He closed his eyes. For a moment there was silence, a deep, deep silence. All the Mods were then enclosed in black flames, which set many a-soldiers around them on fire. “Quit your trickery!”, and with a wave, Sorges pulled EF flying in and head-butted him into the ground. EF got up, only to be struck again. “Why are you holding back? Do you want to settle this, old man?”, said EF with a groan. He then got up and faced Sorges. Without breaking a sweat, the Superior General pushed him, and EF went blasting into one of the traps, a little device Sorges nicknamed The Rat Mower. EF was blasted to pieces. Sorges sighed and turned around, but found himself grappled by some mighty invisible hands. “I see...you have increased your power in secret...”
