The War On Infogrames
Part One: Visions of Deceit

Chapter Eight

         The ground shook as the titanic kaiju continued their battle.  Phantom Godzilla was blasted backwards by Space Godzilla's corona beam, and Gigan's eye laser amassed more damage.  The demon began to feel the effects of both attacks since it could no longer phase out.  In desperation, Phantom Godzilla randomly shot his beam weapon into the air.  The blasts did not hit their intended targets, as Gigan veered to the left and avoided a close call.  He screeched and rammed Phantom Godzilla with his buzzsaw, and the beast collapsed to the ground.

Now it was Aqua Mothra's turn.  The moth god split into hundreds of smaller versions of himself and began to assault the inner workings of Phantom Godzilla's mass.  The zombie screamed in agony as its already decomposing flesh began to bubble and melt.  Within minutes, the form that was once Phantom Godzilla was reduced to a puddle of acidic waste.  The phantom beast was no more.

Moments later, MeWantFudgeSickle, FuryOfPowerX, and Guy Wearing Black burst through the main door to Fong's Headquarters.  Gojira64 was assisting Dragitron, who was screaming in pain.  Fury ran over to Meltdown Godzilla's statuesque body.  GWB headed for Fire Rodan, who called to his avatar.  The flying reptile stared into GWB's eyes.  "You're gonna be okay, Rodan.  We've been through worse situations before."  Fudge walked over to them.  "He will be fine," he reassured GWB.  "My skills in the dark arts will allow me to mend his wound."  Fudge began to recite a few words in an unknown language.  A strange red aura surrounded Rodan's wing.  Within moments, it returned to its normal state.

Fudge then walked towards Meltdown Godzilla's lifeless form.  He looked at Fury, then smiled.  After reciting the same incantation, Meltdown Godzilla began to move again.  The other kaiju roared in approval, all except Space Godzilla.  He was looking at his compatriot Dragitron.  G64 was consoling his Commander, but Drag began to shout insults.  "That bastard!  That son of a bitch!  I will hunt down Corpsefire to the ends of the Earth!"  He was holding his left eye.  Fudge rushed over to take a look, and Drag moved his hand away.  Everyone gasped.

Where Drag's left eye once resided, there was now nothing.  A long red scar went from his left temple down to his left cheek.  His eye socket was a burnt hole.  Fudge looked away, taken aback by the disgusting sight.  He then shook his head at the other agents.  "I can't help him.  His sight has been stolen from his left eye.  I can't give it back." 

All were silent for a few moments.  Suddenly, GWB's eyes widened in terror.  "The bomb!  We've got to get off this island before it's too late!"  The agents began to run towards their kaiju.  Suddenly, a dark figure appeared out of nowhere in front of them. 

The figure stared at the agents for what seemed like an eternity.  Then he raised his right arm, and pointed it at Infogrames Headquarters.  A small black laser appeared from the being's index finger, and shot out towards the structure.  As it neared its target, the laser widened until it covered the entire building with a black sphere.  The being turned his palm upward to the sky, and closed his hand into a fist.  The sphere began to shrink until it completely consumed the base.  All that remained was a smoking ruin, and an odd black dot that hovered in place where Infogrames Headquarters once stood.

The agents stared in disbelief.  Gojira64 looked at this strange creature and asked him who he was.  The being turned to him and replied in an oddly soothing, echoing telepathic voice, "Who I am is not important.  But if you must refer to me by a name, I am sometimes called Black16."  Fudge looked on in awe.  "So you are the presence I felt when I first landed on the island!"  He turned to his fellow agents.  "When I had first stepped foot on Infogramia, I felt an odd chi in the skies above.  When I looked up, I could have sworn I saw two blue flames staring back at me."

Black16 acknowledged Fudge's sighting.  "Yes, that was I who watched you.  I know all about your Agency and your current mission.  I am here not as a friend, nor am I your foe.  I am here simply to see this through."  Black16 turned to walk away, but Dragitron grabbed him by the left arm.  Black16 turned and stared hard at the man, as if subconsciously telling Dragitron to let go, but the warrior was unfazed.  "What are you, and why did you just destroy Infogrames HQ if you aren't on either side?  Answer me, damn it!" 

       Black16 continued to stare.  Then he answered Dragitron's interrogation.  "The time will come when I will reveal all to you.  Your only concern now should be the whereabouts of Bill Gates' secret country.  Return to your base of operations.  Your employer will inform you of your next destination."  Dragitron let go, but he still didn't trust this stranger.  Black16 began to walk away.  After a few steps, he stopped and snapped his fingers.  The black dot exploded immediately, sending an enormous shockwave across the island.  The agents covered their faces as debris flew everywhere.  Even the kaiju began to defend themselves from the full force of the explosion.  When the smoke cleared, the agents turned back to Black16's direction, but the entity had disappeared.
