Whatever it takes

Sinister plans

The settings sun turned the sky a crimson red the advancing Theocracy forces had halted once they saw the four metal giants waiting for them outside the walls of the last remaining city on the island.

A skinny man barged into the tent his dark purple hood hiding his face as he knelt down to a man. Who wore a mix of leather and chainmail with a sickly colored purple claw mark that ran from his neck to Below his collar

"My lord some of the followers are getting antsy about the Giants even the demon general's-"

The lord held up his hand silencing his informant. "Yes I know, it seems that the survivor of that scavenging team were telling the truth after all. Although I highly doubt these "giants" belong to the Lorrens, it seems I was right."

"Right about what my lord?"

"There's a third party interfering in my prophecy"

The lord looked back over the map infront of him rearranging the pieces until he stopped "yes yes yes! This may be the only way for us to pull this back." He quickly turned to his messenger "tell the general's that we'll split are forces in half we'll keep a sizeable forces here and flank them from the sides."

"The giants are only defending the main gate, if we're able to punch through the flanks and kill the king and destroy the city this third party should leave seeing as they would gain Nothing from it."

"You truly are brilliant my lord!"

The messenger was met with a kick to the head knocking him onto his back side "that means go and tell them! And stop ass kissing before I have you disemboweled!"

The messenger scrambled to his feet as he ran out the tent to go relay his orders. The lord sat on his chair biting at his nails drawing blood 'this battle will determine the fate of my cause and my entire life, oh great malefactor please watch over me.'

"There moving" Thermidor stated "they seem to be splitting up there forces from what my thermals can read there both atlest a good chunk of there manpower."

"They plan on flanking us" Mazel spoke up "Overlord you take the right, Rook you take the left." Both LYNX  Fallowd his command even if they hadn't known him for long if he was a good friend of Thermidor then he was ok in there book. "Oh and stay hidden we don't want to ruin the surprise for them." Mazel called out one last time.

"Now that were alone Max I have some questions." Opening turned to face Unsung.

"I do to Mazel but I believe that yours is more important so I'll say mine first if that alright with you."

Opening nodded

"When I turned back to Ostdarva and left for that Carpals mission you were still alive, so tell me what happened?"

Mazel stayed silent for a few moments before finally answering.

"Well with your death at the hands of strayed ORCA fell apart most of the members died either by the League or by Strayed. He hunted a good number of ORCA members atlest those left alive to the point where only me and him remained, I had a run in with him once. We fought, he disabled Opening, didn't even say anything and flew off. Then he moved on to Collared-"

Mazel again stayed silent giving Thermidor time to digest the info and for himself to continue.

"Strayed's dismantled the entirety of Collard, he killed most of them the only ones spared were low ranks that he had a bond with at some point like Ash and Marry. Last I heard he was working with Line Ark and the League used the last ounce of their strength for one final push, and then the Answer came for me. And next thing I know I'm here, so now for my question."

Unsung nodded "ask away"

"You mentioned Line Ark during the meeting with the Lorren King
So I'm guessing the League report I read about them being obliterated was false, so is HE here to?"

Unsung nodded again "yes he is"

Mazel let out a sigh "I should have expected the kid to be alive if both me and you are here, tell me is he sane?"

Unsung looked back at the tree line keeping an eye on the enemy movement "from what I can tell somewhat although I believe he wishes to repent for his actions.
My current theory is that his high AMS, Morrgan and the constant betrayals sent him over the edge and Old King took advantage of that I'm sure you remember the events back at Big Box when both of them took off together."

Malzel hummed "I do."

Big Box

Mazel and Thermidor ran down the hall towards the hanger as alarms blared as they rounded the corner they came to the set of doors that led to the hanger and  the body of Neo Nidus on the floor a single bullet wound to the head and Kasumi Sumika trying to pry the door open.

Thermidor was the first to speak "what the hell happened"

Kasumi was quick to respond "no time to explain just help me get this damn door open!"

With a lot of effort they were finally able to pry the door open Thermidor immediately saw two people he saw Old Kings NEXT Lisa at the end of the hanger which immediately pointed at them drawing the attention of the other person in the hanger.

Strayed who was already half way into his cockpit turned around his dull emotionless eyes made contact with Kasumi's. He ignored her and continued embarking into Morrgan.

Kasumi drew a pistol from a holster on her thigh and strated shooting some of the bullets ricocheted off of Morrgan's armor. Kasumi ended up dumbing two mags into Morrgan until she ran out of ammo. She then threw the empty gun at Morrgan which as expected didn't do much.

Morrgan ripped herself from The Hanger locks that kept her in place. The murderous intent radiating off of the machine like a invisible weight. As she reached the end of the hanger Morrgan turned it's head, it's crimson eyes staring right at Kasumi before it turned back as it's boosters unfolded and it jettisoned off after Old King.

Present Day

"You know we probably should have gone after them" Mazel said

Unsung turned to him "maybe but it would have probably lead to an early grave for both of us"

Both stayed silent after that until the peace and quiet was interrupted by the sound of energy weapons and heavy ordnance.

"I think it's time we cut the head off the snake" Unsung faces the camera as it's crimson eyes glows  brigher as the scene Fades to Black.
