The War On Infogrames
Part Two: Echoes of History
Chapter Four
The inside of the building was
silent. Right behind the main door, a red laser beam continued to travel
up and down. On the wall to the left of the laser, a loud sound could be
heard from the nearby vent. Suddenly the vent opening fell to the floor,
and GWB slipped in feet first. He turned to his left and two steel doors
slid open.
Two guards happened to be sitting by the
metal detector, smoking cigarettes. They took one look at GWB and asked
him where he came from and what his business was. GWB just smiled and put
his right hand in the inner left pocket of his trench coat. The guards
motioned their hands toward their gun holsters, but GWB continued to smile as he
pulled out his.... sunglasses. "Relax, gentlemen. I have a
proposition for Mr. Fong. Is he here?"
The first guard answered him.
"You can't see Mr. Fong without clearance. Do you have any?"
GWB smiled again. In a millisecond he whipped out his Desert Eagles and
sprayed the guards with bullets. Both bodies dropped to the floor.
"Here's my clearance," he said with a smirk. As he walked
through the metal detector, it beeped loudly. GWB just laughed as he
continued walking down the hall to the elevator.
Suddenly, the doors opened and ten guards
rushed out. GWB just continued to smile. "I love this
job," he quipped.

Meanwhile, Dragitron was still outside when
he heard gunshots ring out. "Oh great," he said with a sigh.
"It looks like GWB said hello." Then he threw a grappling hook
onto the roof of the fortress and began to climb. When he reached the top
floor, he looked through a neighboring window, and gasped at what he saw.
The evil visage of Bill Gates was
illuminated in a dark room by a pair of laptop computers. On one screen
was the unforgettable face of Kirby Fong. But on the other was a face
hidden behind utter darkness. Nothing was shown, save for two dark blue
fire-like eyes.
"Those eyes!" Dragitron murmured
in a seemingly total catatonic state.
The unknown man's eyes stared straight
through Gates. 'The shipment of Kaiju Kandy is on its way to our
headquarters at Sony in Japan. I trust that your game is almost
complete?" Gates had a lump in his throat. "Yes sir!
I assure you that once the subjects consume the catalyst, all will go according
to plan. We are now in the process of fixing any bugs the game might
have."
"Hmmmm," the stranger responded.
"I look forward to hearing from you shortly, Mr. Gates." Then
his screen turned off. Suddenly the face of Kirby Fong grew angry.
"Gates!!! Don't blow this for us! We had a deal, and I expect
that the shipment will be made on time!!! Inform me of any progress from
here on out!" Then his screen, too, turned off.
By this time, Dragitron had regained his
composure and heard everything. Without thinking, he burst through the
window and tackled the startled Bill Gates to the ground. "I heard it
all, Gates!" he screamed as he raised one of his swords to strike down the
billionaire. "Now you and your entire empire are going down!
You know the murderer of my father! And now I'm going to return the favor
by killing you!"
Suddenly a hidden entrance slid open.
A large reptilian arm grabbed Dragitron and flung him across the room. The
creature was somewhat man-like in the physical sense, but it had a long,
tapering snout with dozens of razor-sharp teeth. Its arms were large and
muscular, as were its legs. The skin appeared to be a dark green mottled
texture. A long tail swung from side to side.
Gates dusted himself off and laughed
nervously. "You fools think you can stop us? You have no idea
what you are getting yourself into! Now I'd like you to meet our
prototype. He is a kaijunoid, a bio-engineered cross between man and kaiju.
He is the future of this planet, and you are his first meal!"
