THE
THREE KEYS
Part Three: The Key of Mind
Chapter
5: The Fires of Revenge
The roar of the Kaijunoids was cut short by the sound of gunfire.
"Keep firing! Don't let those bastards through!" Rampage yelled
as his soldiers continued their assault. Kaijunoids dropped by the dozens,
but there were too many and they began to overrun the line of defense.
UG90 huddled all of the young agents together. Some of the children were
crying, and UG90 tried his best to calm them down. "Don't worry.
Everything's going to be all right." A young girl hugged his
leg. "Why are they all fighting?" she asked. UG90 looked
down at the girl. "I don't know," he answered.
"People fight for their own reasons."
Ness and Shadow led the older agents into battle. Ness led the battle
charge as Shadow stood back with the reserves. "Wait for my
signal," Shadow said. The front line was hit hard, with Kaijunoids
and agents flying all over the place. The agents were being overrun, and
Shadow let loose his group. "Charge!" he yelled, and the agents
ran forward to assist their brethren.
Ness grabbed the heads of two Kaijunoids and slammed them together. A
third charged at him, but an uppercut sent the beast flying into two more.
"Where's the real challenge?" Ness joked. Suddenly, the mob of
Kaijunoids broke apart as Galex made his way up to Ness. The strongman
looked at the giant. "You again?" Galex cracked his neck
and went for a punch, but Ness sidestepped and decked Galex in the head.
Galex felt his cheek, then threw his own punch, sending Ness to the ground.
He put his foot on Ness' chest and pressed down, hearing the ribs crack.
"Argh!" yelled Ness.
GWB tackled Galex from the side, sending him to the floor. "Why don't
you pick on someone smarter than you?" he said, pulling out his Desert
Eagles. Galex returned to his feet and held out his axe. GWB looked
down at Ness. "This isn't gonna go well," he said to the fallen
agent, who could only look up and grimace.
---------------------
Awsome 1 opened his eyes. He was still alive, his body stuck under
concrete. He struggled to get free, but a reptilian hand flung the rubble
off of him. A1 slowly got to his feet, only to have his face meet a fist.
He crashed into the lab table (or what was left of it) and dropped to the floor.
Rex stood over him and growled. "You are the Creator, are you
not?" He looked around the room. On the table was the Wyrm
Jade. "The First Key!" he exclaimed. Rex silently walked
over to the table, picked up the Key, and bent down near A1. "I am
honored to finally meet you, Creator. You are responsible for me, but you
do not know it yet. I am a Metakaiju, the next step in Kaijunoid
evolution. I am your masterpiece from a future that shall never be.
However, we can change all that." Rex snapped his fingers and a large
Kaijunoid picked A1 up off of the floor. "Take him to the Garula,"
Rex said with a smile. "There is much to be done."
Rex looked at the Key in his hand and it began to glow. "The other
Key is here somewhere. I will find it, and be rewarded for my
efforts!" He left the lab and began to search the rest of the
compound.
-------------------
'Brother, it is time." Khalm walked up to Fury. The agent
turned to Khalm. "Must I really go?" he asked. Khalm
nodded and smiled. "In order to destroy the evil of this world, you
and I must unleash Bagan. Please, come with me and we'll meet our destiny...
together." He held out his hand and Fury took it. Khalm stared
into Fury's eyes, and suddenly they glowed an odd yellow color. Fury's
eyes followed suit. "Good," Khalm said. "Let's
go."
------------------------
Dragitron and Dracatron stared at each other. "I won't hesitate to
kill you, brother," Drac said, pulling out his sword. Drag responded
by pulling out his swords and combined them to form Ragnarok. "No,
you won't hurt me, Drac. Corpsefire is controlling you. Fight it!
You've got to resist him. I'm not going to harm you!" Drac
stared at his brother with an emotionless face. "Such a pity.
I'll have to kill you without much of a fight then." He pointed his
sword at Drag as Samrong watched in approval. "How delicious.
My archenemy will die at the hands of his own brother!" He looked at
his watch. "It's almost time. What is taking Rex so long?"
----------------------
A group of Kaijunoids charged at Fudge, who seemed to be sitting and meditating.
G64 watched in horror as they all piled on top of him. "Oh no,"
he thought as his eyes grew wide. However, a strong wind picked up and
blew the beasts off of Fudge, who was unharmed. The blast of wind sent
them flying in all directions. Fudge calmly stood up and pulled out his
broadsword. He looked up at G64. "Find Fury. He
disappeared a few moments ago." G64 nodded and ran off.
"Where the hell did Fury get to?" G64 asked himself. He ran
around the side of the compound where he saw Fury talking to a familiar form.
He stared in shock.
It was DaRokSez.
Fury and DaRokSez were shaking hands. G64 couldn't believe it. He
took out his shotgun in anger and fired a shot at DaRokSez. The villain
deflected the shot and wrapped his cloak around Fury. In a flash, they
both disappeared. "Shit," G64 yelled. He turned to warn
the others, but Spyder stood in his way. "Where are you going, little
vermin?" he asked inquisitively, with a hint of malice. "Ssssurely
you don't think I'd let you get away and warn your friendsss. They will
find out in due time, but not now. Not now." Spyder threw off
his cloak and backhanded G64 with his arm. Tucking in his arms and legs,
Spyder crawled over to G64 with his spidery legs. "Sssleep, little
one. Sssleep," he said as he began to cover the agent's body with a
web-like cocoon.
------------------
Rex wandered into G64's room, the Key in his hand glowing incredibly bright.
He looked around until he saw the WKAT trophy. "Ah ha!" he
exclaimed. Grabbing the trophy, Rex ripped it in two. Inside the
wooden base was a small moth-shaped piece of platinum. "The Key of
Mind, the Moth's Essence!" he said with a laugh. His laugh was cut
short by the roar of Deathwing. "That's why you joined the
tournament!" he growled. "You knew the whereabouts of the Key
all along, and you played us like a bunch of fools!" Rex laughed.
"Believe me, there wasn't much playing involved!" He jumped out
the window and Deathwing charged after him.
-------------------------
Dragitron blocked the swing of Dracatron's sword. "Stop this
madness!" he cried out, but his words fell on deaf ears. Drac swung
again, this time harder than before. Again. And again. And
again. Soon Drag was pushed back to a nearby cliff. "I'm
going to kill you, Dragitron. There's no way to escape," Drac said as
a familiar gray mist formed behind him...
