Chapter 6: Collateral Damage
The scene changed back to the Starr Force spaceship where everyone minded their own business.
Max: Hey Colette any signal of where Wangzhou is?
Colette: Still no sign of him, he's been in hiding ever since he left the pack with the rods.
Then they heard Gartox growl.
Gartox: I can't believe that piece of shit left us to rot in these cells! When I find him, he'll wish the day that he was born never happened.
Kurai: Chill out you bumbling oaf. There's no use of threating him now, besides we're going back to stasis soon enough which means the rest of our days and lives will remain frozen.
Brock and Crow appeared outside their cells.
Brock: Alright alright, no need to yell out here.
Crow: Yeah, once we catch Wangzhou you're going back to prison.
Gartox growled as he didn't want to go back there.
Kurai didn't care as he claimed he was used to prison.
Rudechaw was afraid of going back there.
Rudechaw: I'm afraid to go back there...
Raijin flashed them all the middle finger.
Raijin: This is Wangzhou's fault, none of this would've happen if he accepted that dumb deal with those benefactors.
Bull: Silence convicts.
Raijin: Who the hell are you to tell me to shut up! I'm a force of nature and I can eradicate you!
Bull: Well you're the one inside a cell so look who's talking.
Then suddenly Col. Ruffs appeared.
Col. Ruffs: Since there's no sign of Wangzhou I guess it's time we go out and look for him throughout the city.
Dark-Er: And how are we gonna find him? He's basically gone from existence.
Kaori: I don't care we will go after him.
Max: Then let's split up. Me, Bo, Brock and Crow will take east. Kaori, Mani and Mortis will take west. Dark-Er and the others will search north and south of the city.
Crow began walking out of the group.
Crow: Sorry, but I'm going solo for now.
Mani: What do you mean?
Crow: He and I have a lot of history and if someone's gonna get him inside a cell then that's gonna be me.
Kaori: Hey that's-
Crow flew off the ship.
Bull: Sometimes he can be a jerk, a big jerk.
Bo: That's just who he is for you right now, but once you get to know him he's a sweet guy.
Col. Ruffs: Uh huh, now let's go. Colette, you and Squeak guard the convicts.
Colette saluted to Ruffs.
Colette: Yessir!
Squeak: *Happy squeaks*
They then left the ship.
Kurai: Hey, can I at least get some water? Thirsty right now.
"Crow's side"
Crow was flying in the air.
Crow: Where the hell are you Wangzhou, where's that shiny metal ass of yours so I can grab it and throw it in stasis.
Crow then saw a figure that was on a rugby field, so he flew down.
He then landed on the ground and hopped and grabbed one of the fences and climbed up.
He peaked his head and saw Wangzhou walking into the scene as he carried the nuclear fuel rod case.
He then saw the figure and so did Crow, the human/bird hybrid was surprised to see who Wangzhou was meeting.
Crow: No way...
This was who he was seeing.
(Yeah that's my drawing, hope you like it :).)
Wangzhou: Execumancer, I'm surprised that you're still alive. I heard that you died a long time ago. So you must be one of the benefactors that wanted me released from stasis.
He then placed the rod case on the ground.
Wangzhou: And I see you're now Corrupted just like me, which raises the question... Is Corruption really dead now, if I may ask.
Execumancer: Lord Nebotus may be gone from existence but the source isn't actually dead, as you can hear me out... He didn't create it. He only discovered it.
Wangzhou: So you're saying that Nebotus didn't create it? Interesting. How did you get a hold of that kind of power?
Execumancer raised both his hands, despite his jaw being wide open he could talk very well.
Execumancer: Thanks to an old acquaintence of mine, I got Corruption.
He cackled.
Execumancer: How ironic... I warned Max and her gang about Corruption, I should've just kept my mouth shut and find the source so I could be more powerful.
Wangzhou: But it didn't happen. Anyways I brought you what you wanted.
Execumancer approached and shoved Wangzhou away as he scanned the fuel rod case.
Execumancer: Nuclear fusion fuel rods, just what we needed.
Wangzhou: Why do you want these anyway?
Execumancer then pointed at a large beacon.
Execumancer: With this and the fuel rods, I can use it on the highest point of Super City, it'll initiate a signal strong enough for Lord Nebotus to be summoned down to Earth...
Crow was surprised.
Crow: Highest point of the city? That will not only summon Lord Nebotus but...
Execumancer smirked.
Execumancer: But it'll also unleash a shockwave so powerful that will wipe out all life of this mudball of a planet.
Wangzhou grit his teeth.
Wangzhou: That wasn't a part of my deal, I wanted to rule Earth as a living planet, not a lifeless wasteland!
Execumancer: You're ambitions and objectives to me are meaningless, Wangzhou. And just like the others that you abandoned, you served your purpose. Find another shithole to rule.
Wangzhou grit his teeth as his hands glowed blue and fired blue energy blasts at Execumancer.
He then used his powers to create a Corrupted magnetic force field to block the shots.
He then used the force field as a huge energy blast and fired it at Wangzhou to which it hit him and he was out cold.
Execumancer approached the knocked out emperor, he used his powers to pull a metallic sharpenel from out of nowhere.
Suddenly...
???: Execumancer...
Execumancer: What?! Can't you see I'm on the middle of something, dude!
???: Leave Wangzhou, he's of now use for us. Max and her team can come and pick him up. Focus on the task at hand. Go to the highest point of Super City and activate the beacon with the fuel rods and summon Lord Nebotus. It's time for Corruption to rise again!
Execumancer groaned.
Execumancer: Fine!
Crow lowered his head and activated his communicator.
Crow: Guys, I found Wangzhou and one of the benefactors on the rugby field...
Execumancer heard his mumbling.
Execumancer: I knew that someone would follow this bitch.
He then used his new telepathy powers to see through the barrier and saw Crow.
Execumancer then fired the sharpenel and it was so strong that it caused the barrier to break and it fell on Crow.
Execumancer: Alright, it's time to end this once and for all!
He then picked up the fuel rod case and used his powers to carry the beacon and flew off.
Then suddenly the team appeared and found Crow underneath a debris of the barrier parts and began freeing him.
Max: You alright Crow?
Crow: Yeah, you won't believe what I just saw.
Mani: What?
Crow: I saw Execumancer... He was Corrupted...
The name struck so hard on Mani's mind.
Mani: He's back?!
Col. Ruffs: So it's true, he's alive.
Bo: Wait you know Execumancer?
Col. Ruffs: Of course, I've been on the hunt for him for so many years until he recieved protection from the Ordo Drakkonis and I couldn't touch him.
Kaori crossed her arms.
Kaori: Where's Wangzhou?
Then Dark-Er and Brock came into the scene and held the unconscious Wangzhou.
Dark-Er: He's out cold.
Brock: What else happened Crow?
Crow: He and Execumancer had a fight, but before that happened Execumancer said that Lord Nebotus wasn't the one who made Corruption. It was someone else.
Max: Interesting.
Crow: He also said that he needed the fuel rods for a beacon that's powerful enough to summon Nebotus back from the Void, but he needs the highst point of the city for it.
The gang was surprised.
Brock: Highest point of the city? That's the Super City Collosus, the new construction building that mayor Gale is planning to build, it's currently on a construction site.
Mortis: Then we have no time to lose, we have to stop Execumancer before he summons Nebotus.
Kaori: But what do we do with him?
Dark-Er: I'll take him back to the ship, you guys go and stop whoever that is.
They nodded and left for the highest point of the city.
The scene changed to Execumancer who was ontop of the newly build Super City Collosus, he placing the beacon on a spot.
???: Excellent, now add the fuel rods. It's time!
Execumancer: Yeah yeah, just shut up. It helps me focus.
The heroes made it and were below the building.
Bo: It's so high, by the time we get there he'll just activate the beacon.
Kaori: We need someone to distract him for now.
Mani: I'll go.
They turned to him.
Brock: Are you sure little man?
Mani: Yeah, it's clear that he wants me since I killed him before, I'll buy you guys some time. Just trust me. Just throw me up.
Col. Ruffs: Bull.
Bull cracked his knuckles and grabbed Mani.
Bull: Get ready soldier!
Mani nodded and he was thrown so high from the liuetenant and he landed on the top of the building.
He saw Execumancer adding the first fuel rod.
Mani: Hey!
Execumancer turned around and saw Mani.
Execumancer: Ah Mani, it's been a while hasn't it?
???: What are you doing?! Focus on the mission!
Execumancer: I remember the last time where you killed me via a shredding machine but I would love to see you suffer but I moved on from you.
Mani was confused.
Mani: What do you mean?
Execumancer: My obsession with torturing you has ended, now I wanna see Max suffer like how you did.
Mani: It seems like you never change do you?
Execumancer: I never planned on it, and thanks to Corruption I'm much more powerful than before.
Mani smirked.
Mani: Well show me what you got!
Execumancer: I bet the others are coming so this will be just a warm up.
He then used his powers and commanded all metal around them and fired it at Mani who dodged it!
Mani: Klaatu!
He fired 3 green orbs at Execumancer who punched them away
Execumancer then used one of the sharpenels and threw it on Mani and it hit his cape as it trapped him on a steel pipe.
Execumancer: Haha, still the same weakling as before. What's the matter Mani, there's no Lindworm to save you right now cause I heard that he's gone now!
Mani: He's not gone, he's busy kicking Nebotus' ass right now.
Execumancer: That's what you think.
He turned around and began adding the fuel rods into the beacon.
Then suddenly from an elevator the rest of the gang appeared.
Crow: Not an entrance that we expected but we'll take what we can get.
Execumancer added all rods and turned around to face them.
Execumancer: And your too late, I've added the rods. Doomsday is about to commence!
Max: Get him!
They all ran towards him and circled the Corrupted cyborg.
Execumancer: Come on, this will be easy.
He used his powers to fire Corrupted magnetic waves and sent the heroes flying across the building.
Max got up and she fired laser shots at Execumancer but he ignored them.
Execumancer: Max...
He teleported in front of her and grabbed her by the throat.
Execumancer: Just like with Mani Pulate in the past... You're gonna be my new plaything for amusment.
Max: Even after you died, you didn't change and thanks to this Corruption you seem even more psychotic than before!
Bo fired arrows at Execumancer and then ran towards the cyborg and tried to punch him but the cyborg ended grabbing his hand and crushed it.
Execumancer: Weak!
He tossed Bo away as he almost hit Mortis.
Mortis dashed towards Execumancer and tried to slash him but he used Max as a meatshield which prompted the vampire to stop.
Execumancer tried to kick Mortis but Kaori tackled him from behind and he let go of Max.
Execumancer then saw Bull running to destroy the beacon, so he casted a Corrupted magnetic forcefield as way to block attacks.
Execumancer then turned around and blocked a punch from Kaori and she then pulled her sword and Execumancer used a sharpenel and both their weapons clashed.
Execumancer: Even with a purified upgrade you still look inferior to me!
Kaori: And I see you still look like a demented baka as before.
Execumancer shoved her away and then punched her sqaure in the face.
Mortis tried to attack him but Execumancer ducked and launched the vampire at Brock who was going to fire rockets at him.
Bull: CHARGE!!!
He charged at Execumancer and blasted his futiristic shotgun at him at close but Execumancer blocked the shots and kneed Bull to the gut and launched him at Max who dodged it.
Crow fired his daggers at Execumancer but he used his metal bending powers and fired them back at Crow who flew away and dodged them.
Col. Ruffs fired at Execumancer with his blaster.
Execumancer fired a sharpenel at Ruffs but the dog dodged it.
Execumancer: You're starting to piss me off!
Max then did a jumping kick to Execumancer and sent him stumbling to Mani that got out and did a dropkick to his back.
Bull got up and he speared Execumancer and they both lied on the ground.
Mortis: It's over Execumancer, your plan is going to fail!
Then the beacon glowed green.
Execumancer smirked.
Execumancer: Are you sure about that?
He laughed as the heroes were shocked.
Execumancer: Lord Nebotus will retuen and there's nothing you can do about it.
Col. Ruffs: We'll see about that.
Col. Ruffs then threw a small beacon towards the larger one.
Col. Ruffs: Bird is the word!
Then suddenly from the skies a huge missle fell down and it hit the large beacon, destroying it in the process.
???: Noooo!!! Impossible!!!
Execumancer: Oh shut up!
Max: Who are you talking to?
Execumancer: Fuck you.
Bull then pulled out a pair of handcuffs.
Bull: Time to rot behind bars you criminal.
Execumancer shoved Bull away and ran towards the edge and flew off.
Brock: Damnit! He's gone!
Col Ruffs: I'm afraid that this won't be the last time we see Execumancer.
Max: You're right but we did stop the beacon from summoning Nebotus.
Bo: And from destroying all life on Earth.
Mortis: If he comes back we'll be waiting...
Bull: Let's go back to the ship.
To be continued...
OK guys, this was chapter 6.
Peace out!
