Chapter 10 : Siege of Schicksal

Before Raven's united legions fleet could make their way to the HQ, Hyperion and its reinforcement fleet had come back first. They parted ways with the Immortal Blades and Marika's fleet, as they went for a report and repairing.

Durandal and Rita are coming to the Overseer's office to ask what's going on with these suspicious assignments. On the way to the main building, they saw a lot of aircrafts leaving the HQ, carrying dozens of soldiers. Rita had a good guess on what might be going on, but she still wasn't sure so she didn't tell Durandal.

"Overs-" - Durandal opened the door without knocking, hoping to see Otto sitting on his chair, with his cock. But she only saw Amber cleaning the desk in the office.

"Welcome back, miss Durandal, miss Rita, how could I help you?" - Amber greeted them.

"Where's the Overseer?" - Durandal asked and looked around, things that belonged to Otto were gone.

"..."

The silence from Amber didn't feel good to Durandal and Rita, since she will answer any question immediately, but now she's just standing there… Her eyes covered made this conversation harder to continue.

"Don't tell me that he…"

"No, Overseer… He left this." - Amber had no choice but to give them his letter before they misunderstood the situation.

"..."

Both of them read the letter carefully in order to understand its meaning… In case there's a hidden message inside it. But there was none.

"How long since he left?" - Durandal asked.

"Since the day before yesterday. According to the letter, we should be broadcasting that video in a few more hours." - Amber said.

"... Right at this time…" - Durandal mumbled.

"Is there anything wrong?" - Amber asked.

"There's a lot of unusual urgent missions…"

While Durandal is retelling the story to Amber, the Hyperion crew is making their way towards the repairing area, while half of the crew headed to the medical areas.

"Ah… It's been a while since we've been back to the HQ…" - Kiana said as she stretched her arms.

"Hmm… This place still hasn't changed at all." - You said while walking with the Valkyries.

"You've been here before, Captain?" - Kiana asked.

"Of course he had been… idiotka… He must have visited this place many times before due to his rankings even before being promoted to become our Captain." - Bronya said.

"Bronya's right…" - You looked around, the only times you've been here is for promotions, and to mee-

"Defensive system deactivated."

The robotic voice was heard from the speakers in the entire area and surprised everyone. Nobody knew what happened. You looked around, the lights are still on, doors are still working. Only the turrets and the mechs on the outside are shut down…

"...."

"Maybe a malfunction?"

"Doesn't seem like it… What's that?" - You looked outside the window, and saw a ship approaching the base from the skies.

It doesn't look like a Schicksal's ship, but rather painted darker and more advanced. Also it is heading towards your direction without slowing down.

"Hey hey hey shouldn't we be dodging-" - Kiana said but she got dragged away by the others who were already doing that.

"WHAT THE–"

"You can't run from me!" - Right at the moment before the ship could have crashed into the building, it changed direction and turned around, dropped someone into the building, the person wielded a giant, fiery sword.

He cut the building in half, separated you away from the others and stopped you. Then he landed inside the building, standing right in front of you, but looked at the Valkyries.

Your Valkyries stopped and tried to reach you by attacking the mysterious man in front of you, but when they realized who the man was, they stopped and fell back.

"Hmph."

"Hey hey… isn't that…"

"We're in big trouble this time…"

"..." - You looked at the white haired man, wearing a long, dark coat standing in front of you, you felt like you've seen him somewhere before… "Wait… Uncle.. Kevin? Is that you?"

The man named Kevin standing in front of you turned his head back slightly, enough to have you in the corner of his sight.

"You know me?" - He asked coldly.

"Y- YES!! I LOVE YOUR NOODLES VIDEO! ESPECIALLY THE ONES WHERE YOU ROAST THE SHIT OUT OF THE PEOPLE COOKED NOODLES WRONG!!!" - You shouted with excitement.

Kevin turned around, he seemed less cold, but more proud and happy.

"Mmm I see!! A fellow follower of mine!" - Kevin proudly said, which confused the other Valks behind him.

"Damn, I missed some of your streams, but I've bought the membership."

"Hahaha!! It's alright!"

"So why are you here?" - You asked innocently.

"Basically my channel is terminated."

"... Wot."

"Also my noodles."

"....wa-"

"I'm here for revenge. Your crew is responsible for it."

"Uhhh-"

"How foolish of you to attack us, Kevin!" - One of the Valkyries shouted. "To attack the stronghold of Schicksal's Valkyries, you were asked for death!"

"..." - Kevin turned around, ready to wipe the floor with the Valkyries.

"Don't you realize who's standing behind you?" - The same Valkyrie shouted.

"Who? Isn't he just a noodle enjoyer like me-"

"He's our Captain Y/n!! Our Hero during the battle against the Herrscher of the Void and Benares a few days ago!!!!!"

"....." - Kevin stopped all thought, he listened carefully to what the Valkyrie had to say…

"Just when all hope is lost!!! He stood out among all of us and challenged the Void's Ruler! With only one shot from his pistol!! He damaged the Herrscher's mind and forced her to retreat!!!!!!"

Something snapped. And it ain't Bronya and Fu Hua in the Everlasting Flame animation.

"Fear our Captain!" - The Valkyrie continued to repeat that sentence, and then the others joined.

"Fear our Captain!!"

"Fear our Captain!!"

"... So it was you…"

They all stopped chanting after sensing something extremely threatening… In one second, they received a lot of pressure from Kevin. He slowly turned back to you. One hand holding his blade. The other put his hand on the blade.

"You…. Ruined… My…. NOODLES!!!!" - The sword caught fire and Kevin swung the blade at you.

You dodged in time, but the building was cut in half and exploded. You would've died if he hit you… Even if it's just a scratch. The Valkyries tried to rescue you but they got pushed away by Kevin, so it’s up to you against him.

You decided to run away first, you can’t even think straight in this situation. You jumped off the collapsed building and landed on the ground, running out in the open and hiding among the disabled mechs. You tried to catch your breath, but you couldn’t. Kevin immediately destroys the mechs you were hiding behind.

“CAPTAIN!!!!!” - Kiana shouted.

“He’s gonna get killed for sure…”

“What can we do?”

“Nothing… We’re not his match…”

“We can only believe that the Captain will defeat him like how he defeated the Second Herrscher…” - Himeko said.

However, you have no weapon with you this time, because you didn’t think that you’d be fighting someone in the HQ, let alone fighting the strongest man alive. You’re gonna die here for sure, if it wasn’t for him missing some of the attacks on you. Upon dodging his later attacks and success, you thought of your luck again. What if your luck could save you? But how? That’s the only question you needed to answer before you could rely on your luck, it’s too risky as you could die any moment now. One moment of carelessness could cost you your life.

“What is he doing? He’s going to be killed!!”

“He’s slowing Kevin down by using these mechs, also using them as a cover so he can do something he’s been planning for… Looked like he’s just trying to run away but he wasn’t, he’s already got a plan in his head… To fight against him.”

“NO LADIES I AM FIGHTING FOR MY LIFE HERE”

As Kevin ripped open the vehicles parked around, you found yourself a pistol and few other tools dropped from these wrecked vehicles.

“Jackpot.” - You grabbed the pistol and shot Kevin. Through some magic of luck you’ll be defeating him with that shot, you thought so. But nothing happened, the bullet didn’t even scratch Kevin, he stood there normally.

“...” - Kevin looked at the bullet that fell from his coat to the floor.

“Aw shite.” - You grabbed a metal plate and threw it at Kevin.

He parries it. Then it exploded.

You throw a Nokia phone. "Parry this you filthy casual!"

"Huh! Come!!" - Kevin accepted your challenge and was about to parry the phone.

In order to make a weapon suitable in the hands of the strongest man himself, MEI and her fellow coworkers have spent months creating and shaping the Cleaver of Shamash… Manage to cut through everything with its heated blade.

However, at the time, there were extremely durable things that it couldn't cut through - The Nokia phones. Challenged by this, MEI decided to give her all to this blade. And finally, the day has come when Kevin managed to cut through the Nokia phone in one strike. It was then that the Cleaver of Shamash held the ability to cut anything.

"Come!!" - As Kevin shouted, the blade collided with the nokia phone and created a powerful shockwave, as two extremely strong objects clashed.

The Valkyries were surprised and unconsciously dodged, as they thought something exploded, but nothing did.

Such a thing should be easy for Kevin. After all, he had done the impossible already, doing it a second time shouldn't be that much of a challenge. That's when he made his fatal mistake, too confident in his blade without caring about its conditions… And not to mention…

THE PREVIOUS ERA.

Vill-V was reading the reports of how MEI created the strongest blade that could cut through Nokia phones with ease. She chuckled. “Strongest blade, you said? GAME ON!!!!!”

It was the “Expert” Vill-V.

And so she invented the nth Kevin Killer - “Nokia Phone - Obsidian Pro Max X Double Snap Golden Prime Steampunk Super XXL edition!!!!!!!” The upgraded version of Nokia phone that has more durability.

It survived from the Finality’s attack on earth.

It was found by primitive humans.

It was used as a thing to break giant rocks.

It was discarded.

It was found by people in the medieval age.

It was kept as a thing in a family.

It was passed from generation to generation…

Until now, it was possessed by a Schicksal pilot.

And you just found it, in his bag on a plane that was cut by Kevin.

The Nokia phone hits the weakest spot of the blade that was crumbling the whole time, and then the blade snapped in half after colliding with the Nokia phone, the phone went through and hit Kevin’s face, almost breaking his nose.

“....”

The pieces of the God Key fell to the ground, making the clang sounds. Everyone was left there speechless. As Kevin grabbed the phone and threw it to the ground, the ground cracked.

“... You… What have you done to my…” - Kevin looked at his sword, which is now broken.

“... I don’t fucking know bro.” - You thought, but stayed quiet in front of Kevin.

Kevin’s confidence and determination were broken with the blade, as he recognised you as an opponent that cant be underestimated. He dropped the remaining of the God Key to the ground, and jumped out of everyone’s sight.

“You won today, Captain of Hyperion!! I have underestimated you, next time, I will come back with everything I have to crush you!!” - Kevin said.

“...” - You stared at him flying away back to the ship. “...” You said nothing.

Everyone just came down to your place and cheered.

“That was an amazing fight, Captain!!”

“Ye!!”

“Can’t believe you managed to break the blade of someone who used to slay herrschers for lunch!! Using a very simple tactic, yet you managed to outsmart Kevin!!”

“...” - You were about to turn around to look at them, but a big explosion in the distance surprised you and the others. “What now?”

You looked at where the explosion took place, and saw many more aircrafts, carriers slowly entering the HQ’s airspace. They are raining the HQ with bombs, with carriers deploying the mechs and infantries down to the ground. They also targeted the big buildings first.

But what surprised the high ranking ones the most are the defensive turrets, although reactivated, aren’t shooting at these hostile ships at all.

“What the…”

“Ma’am Theresa!” - Amber contacted Theresa, she seemed to be as surprised as she is now. "The enemy is at our doorsteps!”

“No shit!! How come our turrets aren’t working? Are they hacked?” - Theresa asked.

“NO!! They bypassed all of our defensive lines as if they were Schicksal’s verified allies!!”

“That means we are under siege by traitors… And… There can only be one person who is capable of uniting this massive raiding army… From Schicksal itself…” - You said.

As you stared at the fleet invading the Schicksal's HQ…

On the battlefield… Many mechs were destroyed, the bombardments have turned many parts of the HQ into rubble, the air is full of smokes from both fire and explosives… A man could be seen walking across the rubble, dead guards,...

"I never wanted this."

His footsteps were heavy. As if he was carrying some greater duty on his shoulders.

"I never wanted to unleash my legions."

He walked through, and looked at the skies. Followed him were his loyal warriors, fully armed accompanied by massive combat robots.

"Together we've purged the unclean that tried to destroy all."

A fellow guard rose from the rubble and tried to charge at him with a bayonet, but he was impaled by a sword.

"You stole powers from the Keys and lied to your sons… Mankind has only one chance to win… And if you will not seize it, THEN I-"

"Ahem. This is Otto Apocalypse speaking, attention all of you nerds currently hearing this broadcasting on the HQ and maybe some bases far away." - The speakers, buried deep below the rubble, and the ones that are still intact far away worked again.

"Ahem. I have resigned from my position as the Overseer of Schicksal. The new overseer will be Theresa Apocalypse, my most precious granddaughter. Effective immediately."

As the broadcast kept going on, the traitorous troops raiding the HQ slowly stopped their advance, and looked at each other confusingly.

"I am not currently here at the moment. To avoid letting you guys panic, and to show people that I am not a responsible person at all, I have moved back to my hometown, Kolosten. So if you have any problem with me, please come to Kolosten to talk it out with me."

"......."

"Bye. Oh and also, Ravenblood you son of a bitch if you're hearing this WE CAN CURE THE FUCKI-"

The broadcast stopped.

"..." - Raven took his phone out and called Otto. While his loyal troops looked at him.

"Yes this is Otto, who are you?"

"You're in Kolosten?"

"Ye, why?"

"Fuck you." - He turned his phone off and turned around. "Come boys… We gonna… Go…. TO KOLOSTEN!!!!"

"WAGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

His men chanted war cries all over the base again. And the massive traitorous fleet retreated with haste, leaving an entire sector of the HQ destroyed. Everyone was left confused and surprised.
