Chapter : The Genius Roar
[Scene 1: The Storm Arrives]
The skies of Fiorst were suffocatingly calm.
But that calm was suddenly broken.
Boom!
The steel gate of Mr. O's headquarters shook violently, as if a divine hammer had fallen on it. It was not a hammer, but a giant gorilla's fist, whose eyes blazing with primal anger.
Behind her, an army of nightmares sprang up. Hybrid horses pulling carts out of bones, and nameless monsters roaring with a sound that shatters glass.
At the head of this army, on top of a black horse like a piece of the night, sat a man dressed in a strange costume that resembled that of a magician.
Dr. T.
A confident and cold smile was drawn on his face.
In the control room, Mr. O raised his eyebrow in surprise that he couldn't hide.
"T... Himself?" he whispered, shock creeping into his voice. "Has this man gone mad? All this... For one young man?"
Press a red button.
"They launched the robots."
[Scene 2: The Dance of Destruction]
Hidden gates opened in the walls of the headquarters, and an army of shiny robots emerged from them. Its laser weapons were targeted, ready to annihilate any threat.
But T laughed. A short, sharp, contemptuous laugh.
"This junk?" he said in a voice that "or" heard over the tappers. "You won't stop me."
He gave an invisible signal.
**"Swoop!!" **
The army of monsters moved like a wall of death.
The giant gorilla grabbed one of the robots, crushing it in her hands like an empty soda can. The hybrids ran over their ranks, leaving behind metal wreckage. The communication towers, which were the pride of Mr. O's architecture, fell like fragile dominoes.
The headquarters was burning.
"Catch your animals and leave!" shouted Mr. O through the speakers, anger coloring his voice. "The city is not an arena for your folly!"
"T" slowly lifted his herbaceous cane.
In an instant, the monsters stopped. The gorilla, which was about to crush another tower, froze in place. The silence that ensued was heavier than any noise.
"Prepare me for Akai."
T's voice was quiet, but it was whipping the air like a whip.
"Otherwise... I will make this place a monument after an eye."
[Scene 3: The Snake Trick]
Mr. O launched more robots, but one of the gorillas suddenly swelled, doubling in size until it became a living mountain blocking the horizon.
"I found her..." Mr. O whispered to himself, his eyes shining with a malevolent gleam. "The head of the snake. If you drop it, the chaos will stop!" *
Aim the main plasma cannon in the control room directly at T.
A beam of pure energy shot at the speed of light.
But T swerved with his horse a fraction of a second before the beam went off. Sharp, fast, and terrifyingly precise movement.
T looked directly at the surveillance camera and smiled.
"I'm Dr. T. I'm the best. No one touches me."
Mr. O stared at the destruction around him. Buildings are burning, robots are debris. He understood.
The battle is lost.
But the war is not over.
He made his malicious decision.
"I'll give him back Akai..." He whispered, and a poisonous smile appeared on his lips. "... But not alive."
Press several buttons. In one laboratory, a small medical robot was booby-trapped with precision explosives. The robot stepped out, holding Aki's sleeping body in his metal arms, and slowly advanced towards T.
T narrowed his eyes.
"Strange... Giving up so quickly?"
He stretched out his stick and commanded one of his flying beasts, a creature that resembled a little dragon.
"Bring it."
The creature set off, gently grabbed Akai from the robot's arms, and flew it back.
Once Akai is safe...
**Fash!! **
The robot exploded into a ball of flame and smoke. The shock wave pushed the monsters back, but there were no casualties.
"I knew... You deceiver."
T said it with a cold smile, as he watched the scattered debris.
He grabbed Akai in his arms, held him tightly, and whispered in a voice that no one else could hear:
"I will never leave you again... You are my family."
He turned around on his horse, left the place, and his army of beasts surrounded him like a mythical caravan disappearing in the dust of battle.
In the control room, Mr. O was watching the devastation. The muscles of his face were trembling with pent-up anger.
"He's going to... He will pay a heavy price."
He raised his encrypted phone.
"Dimitri... Chemist B... Attend immediately. We've started."
In a quiet bedroom deep in the base, Gina slept soundly, collapsed from exhaustion, not knowing that the world she knew had changed forever. Mr. O entered her room and gently placed his hand on her forehead.
"It's hot... The young man is exhausted."
He sat silently beside her, his eyes threatening the whole world with an ending that no one had yet written.
> ... The real struggle begins now.
