Across the threshold: Double Dragon 05

Across the threshold: Double Dragon 05

Walking back to the fortress, the C.P.D.F.agents and Beo were each carrying their helmets in their hands. Turning to Beo, Chipp said, "Look Beowulf, I know you're after Verdian, but what your outburst was incredibly underrepresented!" "Yeah well," Beo said,"Verdian was known as a kook because some vision he had before G Zero was completed." "Mordecai told us everything," Chipp explained, "about how G Zero can manipulate requiem energy like a wizard from a fantasy novel." "(Like Guydalf from the Warlock on the silver mountain.)" Q interjected. "Yeah," Beo said looking to the forest, "well whenever I brought it up with my uncle, he would say that Verdian and his brother were visionaries among visionaries, even impressing Dr Lightbringer the head of Lightbringers inc. To everyone  However, one day, he was exposed in a scandal when he was caught with his hand in some dockworker's pants. At that point he lost it, first he had a dream about G Zero destroying a city, causing him to turn his back on the artificial man project. Then he tried to coerce the team who discovered the energy to leave the project, only suckering Mordecai in but Lightbringer fired his rear after that. Finally he led a group of maniacs to take everything the Artificial man was developing at the time, killing Dr Lightbringer and my dad in the madness. Hey what's that?" Int the bushes nearby was a leg sticking out like a pipe sticking out of a garbage can. Reaching the bushes the six found a sirian in his underwear, beaten and hands tied behind his back. "Who is this guy?" Wisey asked as Chase and Chipp woked together to pull the siran out, "A robbery victim?" "Looks like it, though he's still breathing." Chase said checking over the body, "He's beaten all over, as if a group of people beated the (censored) out of him" "Hey!" Beo said tugging something in the bushes, "I found another one!" Pulling out a catira, Chipp checked him as well saying, "He's also alive!" "Geez, someone was having a (censored)y day." Beo said, squatting down, "Could be the dragon and his machine-" "No," Chipp said, "we're near the entrance. Chase and Wisey found our dragon friends near the tower which is all the way in the back. This must be the work of someone else."  Hearing this, Wisey suggested, "What if the dragons were a decoy?" 

Back in the fortress Scott and James stood in Binn's and Omnidec's way of leaving the fortress. Scott raised his armorizer and demanded, "Alright, who are you?" "Something you shouldn't be worried about sir." Binn said moving his hand to kaiser's gun again, "Just let us through and we won't be in your hair for long." Looking back, Omnidec saw Blueacon marching out of the prison looking for the the two.  Suddenly Scott's comm beeped causing the sirian to pick it up and asked, "What is it?" Immediately Chipp's Voice came through the comm saying "Scott we found two guys tied up here! There could be impostors in the base!" Quickly holstering the comm, Scott rushed at the two exclaiming "Form CHANGE!" as his Black Flame armor materialized in holographic fire. Seeing this, Flipp charged as he quickly threw off his disguise and transformed into his fish like form. "You shouldn't have done that!" He exclaimed before the two clashed sword to razor metallic sharp fin.

Seeing the two groups clash, Blueacon cursed and transformed into his noid form, unleashing his whip blades from his arms. As Blueacon marched towards the 2 on 2 fight, Clay suddenly flew out of the door frame and landing hard on the ground causing the noid garuda to spin around. "CLAY!" Blueacon exclaimed rushing towards the former drone, "What happened!?" Arm bleeding oil, Clay answered, "Kaitres! She broke free!" Cursing, Blueacon got up as Kaitres stepped out of the rubble, cracking her knuckles with an errely happy smile. "Sorry about that, your boss wanted me to stay put but I can't just wait on the sidelines for too long. Let's fight!" Looking from the four at the gate to the deer like warrior in the prison door, he called out to the crowd behind him, "I'll handle the deer chick! Help the agents at the gate! "

Breaking off from the weapon lock, Binn laughed and said "You know, I don't usually get this much action from you guys! Usually we take out a target and that's it! but with you guys, I can really stretch my fins!" Seeing this Omnidec tore off his helmet and raised his metamorpher, shouting "FORM CHANGE!" Seeing Omnidec's armor materializing, james pulled out a blaster and shouted, "STOP!" Turning to the young sirian, Omnidec pulled out his melee weapon and pointed it to James and asked, "Your not suiting up?" "No, I'm not an official agent." James answered, "But I was trained by the best of the best!" Pulling out a chip, Omnidec tossed it into the ait and pressed the button on his metamorpher, causing the chip to flash light a strobe light as a crystalline figure appeared out of the light. Landing on it's feet, the construct was an imposing figure made out of diamond. "Meet my monster, uhhh, wait I don't know what to call him." "I am Ore." The entity stated, "What is that you desire comrade?" "Oh," Omnidec said, noticing the massive crowd of bucketheads rushing towards them, "Can you take care of the crowd behind us?" "As you wish." Ore said, moving towards crowd. Suddenly, James fired upon the entity, causing Ore to turn to him. "Don't worry about the kid!" Omnidec exclaimed, "Just take care of the crowd!" "Confirmed." Ore said before Omnidec rushed at James, knocking the sirian to the ground. Raising the head of his hammer to James' neck,  Omnidec said, "My hammer can easily smash your skull I if swing hard enough, so don't do anything reckless!" "Yeah well," James said smirking, "Reckless is my middle name!" Suddenly James kicked the humonculus off his feet, allowing the sirian to grab his blaster and fired upon Ore again, catching the construct's attention away from the crowd, allowing them to attack the construct.

Reaching the gate Chipp and the others found Scott tangling with the fish like Binn while James shot at a massive crystalline construct. "What the (censrored) is that?" Chase exclaimed, "Do you make constructs that big?" "I don't know." Beo answered, "The scientists made them, not me!" "Come on!" Chipp exclaimed, putting his helmet on, "We need to bring that thing down!" As the five place their helmets back on, they rushed to help out when Omnidec, getting up, immediately knocked James aside and began to shoot at them forcing them to take cover from the explosion. "Nice to see you again!" Omnidec said, pointing a gun at their direction, "You are persistent I'll give you that!" "Mordecai told us everything!" Chipp exclaimed, summoning a shield, "It's Omnidec is it?" "Yeah," Omnidec said, "you're mingling with the Jewels now?" "Oh don't worry." Chipp answered, as Beo and Chase slowly moved towards the gate in the brushes in a pincer like formation, "It's only a working relationship. If you surrender, we can give you amnesty for you and your brothers." "And sister!" Omnidec exclaimed before spotting Chase in the bushes and forcing the garuda back with a single shot, "Don't forget about Flaron!" Seeing this, Beo emerged and shot at Omnidec exclaiming, "Oh Verdian gave you names! That's cute!" "DANG IT YOU SON OF A (CENSORED)!" Chase exclaimed, "You are supposed to remained hidden!" Getting up, Omnidec shot back at Beo forcing the Draken to hide exclaiming, "And you Beowulf! I know your weakness! You need about ten feet touse your time dilation power!" "First, its only slows things down!" Beowulf explained moving closer, "Second, you forgot about one thing!" Suddenly, Omnidec felt a massive heaviness on his body. "I can focus on one target at a much longer range." Cursing Omnidec pulled out another chip before throwing it to Beowulf's face and pressing the button for summoning the construct. Seeing another construct form into existence Beo quickly released his hold on Omnidec and fired upon the construct as it finishing molding into a feline form. "(Censored CENSORED CENSORED)!" Beowulf exclaimed shooting at the life form, "How many constructs does one guy need! Wait, I brought 5 chips with me." "As many as I need!" Omnidec exclaimed after shooting at him, before suddenly being hit with an electric bolt via Chase's crossbow as Chipp emerged out of the bushes. Getting up, Omnidec saw Chipp rushing him with a shield ready and fired upon the ceasarian, catching only his shield, causing it to explode. Flying back Chipp dropped his gun, forcing Chase to fire upon Omnidec as the humonculus ran into the forest, accidentaly hitting Beo in the helmet, sending it flying. "You (censored)-hole! Watch where you shooting!" Beo exclaimed before the newly formed cat construct bit his arm, causing him to scream in pain, "GEEZ! Get off me you stupid cat!"
Getting up, Chipp looked to his decimated shield and threw it aside as he grabbed his gun to give chase to Omnidec. "Not this time!" He said before vanishing into the bushes. "Chippy!" Chase exclaimed before turning to Beo who was punching the cat trying to unlock it's jaws. "Shoot!" he said before turning to Wisey and Q who were holding the wounded bucketheads. "Get them inside the fort!" "(You sure about that?)" Q asked pointing inside, causing Chase to turn to see Ore smacking a contingent of Bucketheads into the air while Scott and Binn tussled at the entrance. "Oh..." Chase said flatly before raising his crossbow and cocking it, "help the old Englishguy will you." Immediately he ran past a struggling Beo who exclaimed, "Hey! Get back here and help me!"

Activating the solo burst Chase shot at Geo, causing the construct to stumble and turn to his direction. Noticing this Scott kicked Binn away, and activating his solo burst function on his G saber and aimed at Binn, pulling the trigger. "Why do you fire at me?" Geo groaned as he fell to his knees while Binn screamed as the G saber's blast sent him flying, "I am only doing what I was told to do. uuurgghhh." Falling down Geo's eyes close as Binn fell to the ground looking like a burnt fish ape. Getting up, he glared at Scott and then to the other agents with malice saying, "Th-this is not OVER!" Suddenly he ran up the wall and vaulted over it.  As they tore the construct off of Beo's arm and throwing it aside, Q looked to Scott and asked, "(You alright?)" "Yeah," Scott said helping James up, "but that knight ran off." Suddenly the cat like construct then bounded off to Geo as he dissipated back into a chip form. Grabbing it in it's jaw the cat like consteuct ran across the fortress grounds, leaping in between Blueacon and Kaitres in the middle of their battle. "What- is that that cat!?" Kaitres stammered as the construct leaped over the wall and into the marshy forest behind the wall. Taking this opportunity, Blueacon tackled the deer warrior in the stomach, causing her to drop her weapon as they fall to the ground. Immediately a lot of the bucketheads piled on the two, pinning Katries down. "HEY! No fair!" Kaitres exclaimed, "It's supposed to be Mano a mano!" "Should we help?" Wisey said, helping Q pulling out one of the injured bucketheads from the bushes. "Yeah," Chase said, getting up, "Let's get these guys in." "What are you going to fry those monsters?" Looking from the draken to the wall, Chase said, "Yeah, let's hope we don't have to fry anyone else today."

Reaching a cliff, Omnidec stopped in his tracks and looked down to ravine below. "What the heck!?" Omnidec said before as a voice exclaimed, "FREEZE!" Turning around, Omnidec found Chipp behind him aiming a G saber to the humonculi's face. "It's over," Chipp said, moving forward, "Surrender and -!" "I know, I know," Omnidec stated, raising his hands in a nonchalant fashion "You'll give me and my brothers and sister amnesty, well I'm sorry but we have some unfinished business." "G Zero?" Chipp asked, causing Mordecai to open his eyes wide and ask with a flat "What?" "Yeah, an advanced version of your unit series that has an ability to manipulate requiem energy, a G-Unit! Am I wrong?" "So Mordecai did tell you everything." Omnidec said, lowering his arms and aiming his gun, "Well it doesn't matter! Once we find the armor piece here, we'll be one step closer to stopping G zero." "Not if I have something to say about-" Was all Chipp could say before the cat like construct jumped in between them. Immediately the sound of an engine was heard from below causing Omnidec to look back and see the hover car piloted by Tavo with Twin Drake and a already healing Binn in the back. "Jump in!" Tavo exclaimed. Seeing this opportunity, Omnidec grabbed the cat constructand leaped over the cliff and landed onto the ship, rocking it as it flew away. Cursing, Chipp fired at the hovercraft only to miss as it disappeared in a flash of light. "(Censored)!" Chipp exclaimed holstering his G saber, "Not again!"
