THE WAR OF FATE
Part
Two: The Dark Citadel
Chapter
Eight: The New Breed
Samrong sat outside the top balcony of the Dark Citadel, overlooking his army.
Thousands of Gray Ninjas and Kaijunoids waited eagerly for their master's words
of wisdom and war. The main platform of the Garula lowered to the ground
level of the canyon. One hundred stasis pods, rectangular in design, stood
upright on the platform. In the center of the machines were Kirby Fong and
his new pet, A1.
"I gave you a second chance, Fong," Samrong called out to him from the
Dark Citadel. "Make the best of it."
Fong nodded and pressed a red button on a remote control in his hand. The
glass covers of the stasis pods slid open and smoke poured out of each pod in
unison. When the smoke cleared, one hundred reptilian creatures stood at
attention, their tails swishing the air behind them. Their faces were much
more humanoid than an average Kaijunoid, looking more like Rex Raptor than
anything else. Their bodies were muscular and streamlined, and the
creatures stood upright. They didn't slouch like the drooling, brainless
Kaijunoids.
Rex made his way through the crowd of assassins and jumped onto the platform.
He sniffed and snarled at the new arrivals. One of them had a scar running
down its right cheek. Rex put his arms on the creature's shoulders and
laughed. "Just like in the future," he said. The creature
looked at him oddly. Rex understood the look.
"In the future, my second-in-command had the same scar. It was an
accident during training. It seems even in the past that some things still
come to pass." Rex walked around the creature as he continued
talking. "You shall be called Skar, named after your future
self!" he proclaimed. Rex turned to the larger audience in the
canyon. "These are Metakaiju! They are my brethren! They
are the new breed of life on this planet! Soon, they will be the ONLY
breed on this planet!"
Samrong scoffed at this notion. "Pfft. That's what HE
thinks," he said to Galex, who stood next to him. "Now
then," he said, turning his attention back to the audience below.
"You will all be split up into six battalions, under the guidance of one of
the Six Eyes. Rex, you can have your Metakaiju. Just having one of
you around is enough to give me a headache. I don't have time to baby sit
them, too." Rex nodded in approval as Dracatron, DaRokSez, and Spyder
snickered at the remark.
Samrong pointed to the horizon as the sun began to set. "A bright
light shall shine forth from the Dark Citadel when the Eclipse occurs.
Your job is to annihilate the opposition. When I open the Abyss, our
numbers will increase a thousand fold. At that point, the war, and the
world, will belong to us!"
