When the smoke and fire balls of the explosions cleared, Hardwire was sure that the gun boats pilots must have been surprised to see the flyer taking all that heats and remaining unscathed. The sock of the pilots were just seconds long. They moved into evasive maneuvers, both gun boats taking opposite directions. Hardwire didn’t mind, he activated the Maxi guns and punched in the fusion drive in micro seconds he was behind one of the gun boat, he pressed the trigger of the gun and in 3 seconds flat, armored bullets the size of cannon shells tore through the gun boat, blowing apart its metal body and shredding the boat to metal pieces. A fire ball blossomed and the parts scattered in several directions. The second gun ship turned around at full speed, coming behind the MAX 2,locking on and focusing on the air vent. Hardwire saw this but allowed the boat to make its move. The gun boat poured in the remaining of its rockets and shoot his plasma cannons the the flyer, they just washed over the flyer’s shield and exploding harmlessly. Hardwire turned the MAX 2 slowly to face the gun boat, and punched the trigger of the Maxi guns again. The gun boat simply disintegrated.
The two Mantis hover tanks were on their way with heavy speed to support the gun boats but turned back and fled when they saw how easily the gun boats were destroyed. It’s so easy to over look the MAX 2 flyer when looking at the exterior without considering the massive internal modification and upgrade it has undergone. Within eye links the flyer swop down on them, engaging the Maxi gun again, the hover tank spew holes that bleached smokes and slowly they crashed to the forest floor. Though the gun boats were more armed that the hover tanks, yet the hover tanks were built with more heavier and dese armored covering. But none of that made any difference to the Maxi guns.
Re: MARVEL CHRONICLES (science Fiction) by Apollux(m): 9:07pm On Feb 25, 2017
The attack air cars and CH APC scattered living the troopers on ground stranded. Hardwire knows he can’t get all at once going after them. He locked on them with the long range rocket and clicked the trigger Four rockets belched out of the twin tube under the flyer’s wings, flew in the directions of the four vehicles. Soon four explosions decorated the sky about the green forest.
“Hey boss I took out all their big guns but you are going to have very unhappy Mantis troopers to contend with as you pull out of those places. “ Hardwire called out to Marvel on the com link.
“Alright. Acknowledged. “ Marvel replied him.
♻ ♻ ♻ ♻ ♻
“Time to go Mole. “ Marvel headed for the sealed metal door with The Mole trailing behind. “As for you Dr. Guthrie, well you may decide to continue hiding here, seeing at this place is already compromised, well that won’t do your health any good. “
Before Marvel could get to the door, several more explosions rocked the cave.
“Perimeter defenses down” said the cyborg in his normal cold voice. “ All mines have been deactivated and the ones with anti tamper settings, remotely detonated. “
“Ok, that means they will be coming in soon. “ Marvel reached into his combat webbing and pulled out a HE frag grenade, activating it but holding down the count down. A heavy metal clang sound was heard even through the closed door. “That should be them breaking through the front door. Do this guys even know they are trapped? “
Marvel open the metal door, sprinted into the passage leading out of the door. Just few steps ahead he got to where the passage branched into two directions. A peep at both sides showed him Mantis troops already covering both possible exits. He pull his hand from stopping the count down on the frag and threw it at the right hand direction. He pulled back when lazer fire from both end were directed at him.
The screams of fear were drown out when the frag exploded. Thuds of bodies hitting the ground came in from the right branching.
The Mole came behind Marvel. “How are you doing so far?”
Re: MARVEL CHRONICLES (science Fiction) by Apollux(m): 9:09pm On Feb 25, 2017
“A frag to the right path won’t be enough to clear that part, but will be enough to disorganize them long enough for me to go in. The problem is my back will be exposed to the left side that is also filled with marauding troopers.
“Ok Marvel, I got the solution right here. “ The Mole gave Marvel one of the plasma guns with him and tenderly caress the other one. “This mean bit.ch here is the answers to all your prayers. “ He smiled with gleaming teeth and his artificial eye having glowing a bit more red.
The Mole ran at the corner to the left turn and slid down as he got there just in time for lazer fire directed at him to go above him. He would have been cut to ribbons if he was standing. While still sliding on the floor, he brought the plasma gun’s muzzle to the direction the lazer fire was pouring from and pulling back the trigger. A normal plasma gun shoots concentrated heat in form of microwave light beam. More like sustained lazer fire but much bigger. But the plasma gun that was used by The Mole have undergone some major upgrades. When the plasma beam gets to the target area, inertia takes over, the beam stops and explodes. Incinerating every combustible materials around. So when the blast from The Mole’s gun got to the area the troopers were gathered, it exploded. Spilling out intense heat, the super multilayered Kevlar body armor put on by the Mantis troops simply melted into poodles, their flash flayed, then char and turn to ash. Their bones simply crumbled to dust.
“A good way to serve dinner, I love my barbecue extra crispy. “ The Mole still held his disarming smile. Care to do the honors for the right part.
Re: MARVEL CHRONICLES (science Fiction) by Apollux(m): 9:10pm On Feb 25, 2017
Instead of saying anything Marvel peeped at the right side, pointed the second plasma gun down the passage and fired. The remaining troops that survived the frag attack got incinerated by the exploding microwave.
“Time to put this dump behind us. “ Marvel said to the Mole taking a step forward. The cyborg jumped in ahead of him, ran at the broken down exit door at full speed and got blown back by a rocket exploding on him. The cyborg crashed on the ground heavily amidst smoke and dwindling fire.
Marvel and the Mole got to him as soon as the smoke cleared. “That definitely must have hurt. “ The Mole quipped.
“I’m not harmed. “ The Cyborg said as it got up. “The rockets explosion wasn’t strong enough to penetrate my shied, but its shock was enough to kick me of my feet. “
“So you want to try that again or you have a better strategy? “ Marvel asked him.
“I was able to get a glimpse of what we have to face outside. Three men are with standard rocket propelled grenades, the source of my recent attack. The one is armed with a merlin anti-tank sub missile. Five hidden in the trees are equipped with long range magnetic charge HE explosive rifle. Then forty troopers hidden in the trees and grasses are armed with standard troopers assault lazer and projectile rifles. “
“Good view cyborg, at least your full heady suicidal charge was good for something. “ Marvel said with a tinge of bitterness.
“My name is Dr. Bryant “ The Cyborg said in his usual cold voice. “It will be ideal, Mr. Marvel, if you address me thus. “
“Whatever. “The bounty hunter yawned. “Any way you planned to get out of this?”
Re: MARVEL CHRONICLES (science Fiction) by Apollux(m): 9:11pm On Feb 25, 2017
“Two of what is out side, do I really perceive as threat to me. The merlin anti-tank sub missile and the magnetic charge high explosive bullets. The bullets can by pass my energy shield and attach to my body through its magnet before exploring. “
Before Marvel could say anything, Dr. Guthrie came into the passage.
“I already have an escape route planned long before now, “ he said nervously. “But I fear if we take the escape route leaving those enemies outside, they may come in and stop our escape. “
“They have called in reinforcements, ETA to time of arrival is 15 minutes. “ The cyborg put in.
“Ok, I think, you, “ Marvel said pointing to the t the cyborg can go out first and we” pointing to The Mole, “will cover you. “ Marvel spoke into the com link. “Hardwire I will need you to do a single run around where we are, target the tree and grasses, that should give us some space to come out. Also take note, heavy reinforcements are expected here in less than fifteen minutes. “
“Alright boss, I got that. “ said his voice on the com link.
Hardwire dropped the MAX 2 within seconds to a range to engage the human targets. He switched the tactical target display to thermal imaging. Saw several heat signatures. He brought the flyer into target ranged, cranked up the mini gun. Brought up the fire control and pressed it down. The quad barrels of the mini gun started spitting hot armored bullets.
“Route clear, targets either scattered or pinned down. “ Marvel heard Hardwire’s voice from com link. “I’m pulling back into concealment. “
“Acknowledged, “ Marvel replied him. “Mole time to move. “ He threw the second plasma gun to The Mole, which he handily caught in mid air, and brought up the MAC penetrator.
Re: MARVEL CHRONICLES (science Fiction) by Apollux(m): 9:12pm On Feb 25, 2017
The cyborg ran ahead of him and jumped up as soon as he got to the broken down exit door. When Marvel got to the door, two things surprised him. The first was the cyborg jumping. He saw the cyborg going higher up than a single bound should take him. As he watched, the cyborg kind of seem to hover in the air and did an effective air maneuver that put him at of the way of a rocket directed at him. Instead of the cyborg dropping down, it twisted in the air again and dived to avoid a second rocket directed at him. Then it hit Marvel, the cyborg can fly. That thought almost made him forget the danger the cyborg is in. The second thing was that he saw trees and grasses cut down expertly, Hardwire must have really taken time to clear this place up. A surprised at any of the troopers survived.
Marvel noticed that though the cyborg dodged the two rockets, both were still going after him. That means they either have smart targeting locked on the cyborg or that may be the magnetic stuff he talked about. Marvel noticed that the rocket shooter was lining up for another shot. He brought the MAC penetrator and focused on the rocket man. He checked and saw that he was in effective range to hit the shooter. He pulled the trigger and saw the man’s head blow up.
Fire came at him from several directions after taking out the rocket shooter. Marvel dove to the ground to avoid the shots. The Mole stepped up with the two plasma guns spitting flames. The microwave shots took some directly, the others ducked behind trees and grasses. But it didn’t do them any good. As The Mole continued shooting, the tree and grass caught fire, the men behind them got incinerated.
Marvel looked up to see the cyborg two hands came up at the two directions the rockets going after him were coming from, both hand morphed into cannons, releasing orange colored beams that touched the rockets and the blew up. While still in the air, lazer fire from tree tops and grass started hitting the cyborg. He just brought both hands down, the hand charging form from the cannons to quad barrel lazer guns. Both hands pointing down started pouring down heavy lazer fire. Those shooting at him didn’t have a chance. The whole are under him turn to ash within 30 seconds. Former human figures turned to blackened charcoal where they stood. Effectively, all opposition ended.
He flew to where Marvel and The Mole were watching him in astonishment. “We have to leave now with Dr. Guthrie, the reinforcements are 5 minutes away. “

Chapter Ten


The trees here are not heavily packed but still well enough for one to hide in. But it’s increasingly getting very difficult to avoid the patrols that their numbers have been steadily adding up for the past days. The grass and smaller plants gives her necessary cover but Jade knows it’s a matter of time before she will be forced into a position of confrontation. If that ever happens, she has lost.
She is trap, that became obvious two days ago when she got out from the heavy current of the flowing river. How she didn’t die from her fall into the dam’s water fall was a miracle. She knew she passed out at a certain stage but the need for air must have knocked her back to consciousness.
She had seen the patrols shortly after she regained consciousness and hid her self. She didn’t know how thoroughly the patrols were until she tried calling her air car to come down. Even with the camouflage, it had been seen and shoot down. Jade almost went out of her mind with grief as she watched her beloved air car’s debris crashed into the forest floor.
That told her that air and land of where she is have been cordoned off. Then she had continued to o encounter the Mantis patrol units in increasing frequency. The had changed search pattern several times and with careful observation Jade have known the different types of patterns used. The knew them all, their weaknesses and blind sides. She took advantage of those and avoided them. But their search grid is getting tighter, she may nit be able to evade them for long again. She is hungry and way tired. For two days she had survived on drinking the less than clean water and wild fruits that had hurt her stomach after eating them. When she sniffed her nose, her body smells like a decaying beef. Dawn what won’t she do to get a warm bath.
Re: MARVEL CHRONICLES (science Fiction) by Apollux(m): 1:40pm On Feb 27, 2017
She dropped down suddenly to avoid an unexpected search party that just appeared. A new search pattern must have been initiated again. These corporate guys are bent on getting her. This showed her the value of her discovery but deep down she is still convinced she didn’t get everything. As she peeped above the top of the grasses, she noticed the search party consists of two Mantis troops slowly moving and watching carefully around. If the continued in their present course they will get to where she is presently hiding. Jade quickly made her move. She moved in between the grasses without creating rustlings and walked on the balls of her feet to maintain silence. A cracked sounded impossibly loud from a place she just stepped on and she immediately dropped down and stopped moving. Praying to the stars with all her might that the pair of troopers didn’t hear it. She had stepped on a dead wood hidden beneath a soft layer of sands.
“Control this is search party fourteen calling. We noticed a disturbance in search grid twelve, going to investigate now. “ one of the troopers spoke onto a wrist com.
Damn the heard the sound. She can’t evade them now. She will have to deal with them now and move away far from here and pray others won’t find her. But for her long dose she plan on evading them? She will deal with that in it’s appropriate time.
She brought her keen edge combat knife, her hand gun was lost during her fall. Fortunately her knife and sword hilt are still on her. She studied the coming pairs and noted that they are wearing full combat amour of several layers of super Kevlar and gleaming black armored chrome helmet with dark visor. The only exposed place is the thin line between where their armored clothes stopped and the helmet started.
Jade flattened her body to the floor preparing to spring as they got closer. When a foot appeared before her face under the grass she jumped up, grabbed the trooper by the jaw, lifting it up to expose the uncovered neck and sank her combat blade on the sport. Blood spurts from the wound and poured on the second trooper, covering his visor and temporarily blinding him.
“Wha-“ was all he could say as Jade threw the bloodied knife on target on the trooper’s neck under the helmet. The blade went in deep leaving only the handing visible on the trooper’s neck. The black clad patrol Mantis twitch then fell down.
Re: MARVEL CHRONICLES (science Fiction) by Apollux(m): 1:41pm On Feb 27, 2017
Jade quickly retrieved her knife and was cleaning it when suddenly she whirled her left hand reaching for her sword hilt pulling it out and activating the sword.
“A very good way to die quickly I must say bringing a sword into a gun fight.” Marvel said looking down at her from a hover bike.
Taking some seconds for her shock to wears off, she stood twirling the katana. “Trust me I use it a lot better than most people use their guns maybe better than you too. And I believe this is a weapon made when society was still civilized. “
“And trust me girl, you won’t last a second if you go against Marvel armed with that. “ The Mole said from the other side, on a hover bike too with gun ports opened.
Jade turned around to look at the diminutive ebony colored man. A cold shiver went down her spine. She has heard of the Mole of course, non of what she heard is good and pleasant. That man is dangerous and unpredictable. She even heard he is a cannibal and eats the hearts of his enemies literally. The scared face with a single human eye and the other eye gleaming Ruby red. Top of his head covered with a shinny metal dome. He may look small but everything on him screams menace.
Re: MARVEL CHRONICLES (science Fiction) by Apollux(m): 1:42pm On Feb 27, 2017
“How did you guys find me? “ Jade asked finally nit really directing the question to any of them.
“You have an SOS emergency beacon on. So it lights you up like a neon light in the dark. “ Marvel decided to reply her. “Your boss wants us to get you back. “
“Oh well nice seeing a change of heart from the ever pompous bounty hunter Marvel. Thought you weren’t interested. “ Jade glared at him with arms crossed and her chest.
“Anyway this isn’t a rescue mission. Not anyway. “ Marvel brought the hover bike lower and closer to the CSC agent.
“But I thought you said-“ Jade started to protest.
“That is what you thought not what I said. “ Marvel crossed his hands on the drive control of the bike and looked down closer to Jade. “We are going back to that facility and retrieve a sample of that virus and possibly see if there’s an antidote near by. You coming? “
“Ok I will tag along but I kinda lost my gun and I’m near starved to death. “
Marvel threw something at her which she caught mid air. Looking at it turned out to be a a NOVA pc303 auto pistol. “I heard you have a particular fancy for that gun. As for the hunger, it will have to wait a little longer. “
“Alright but how do you plan dealing with the search patrols and the perimeter that obviously have been created around this whole area.? “
“The same way I deal with all my problem. “ Marvel replied. “Point my guns at them and pull the trigger. “
Casting an uneasy glance behind her at the silent Mole, floating on the hover bike, Jade said, “You guys got to tell me how you got to me without alarming every stinking Mantis troopers patrolling these paths. “
“My advice, if you plan on living long to discover that, I’d advice you stop casting ugly eyes at the Mole. “ Marvel cranked on the hover bike. “Unless you planned walked, you’d better hope in with me. The Mole won’t carry you because you may end up as breakfast when he gets hungry. “

Thanks will do just dat.
That is one problem with writing / writers, editing personal works is a bigger task than writing. Dat is why we need editors.
As for me most times I write on the go; in a bus, when I can steal time away from work, just before drifting off to sleep etc.
But will try and proof read as much as I can.

Jeffery Wildwinter gave a pout as he stared at the huge monitor before him. The display was split in the middle. Two people were each showing on one side of the display. On the right is Nicolas and Dalmar on the left. Jeffery didn’t like the particular probing questions from the head of Iris Securities.
“ Mr. Dalmar I have assured you that the virus is ready, will be sending it to you immediately. I had to hold on back the delivery for a few days because we had a break in at the AgenGen complex. I had to come down here and see things for myself. “ Jeffery stopped for a while, allowing himself to breathe from the oxygen tank attached to the back of his power chair. The display was above a long metal table with other minor buttons and consoles . He moved the chair by the control attached to the arm. Touched a particular palm print security port. A green light ran over his palm to authenticate who he is. “Like I said earlier from what I know, the attack was carried out by a single person, masked. But while Corroborating other reports I found out the burglar was a female.”
“Yes we already know that Mr. Jeffery.” Dalmar said via the display screen. “We heard the act might have been carried out by an Earth watch under cover agent. We already located and dealt with two of them, this one may have been inserted below our sight. “
“Like we have been trying to tell you, our fear concerning earth being aware of our plans is becoming a possibility. We just need to know what the present status is of your search for the burglar and the certainty of taking possession of the virus. At this stage, the plans should be accelerated. “ Nicolas tried to reduce the sting Dalmar’s speech must have caused.
“Yes Mr Nicolas, I’m aware of your concerns that is why I came down personally to supervised this and make sure the delivery is done without any hitch.” A small compartment opened from the table and Jeffery pulled out a stainless cylinder. “Here is the vial where the virus is. You will get it soon. “
“Excellent Mr. Jeffery.” Dalmar said. “So what is the latest on the intruder?”
Re: MARVEL CHRONICLES (science Fiction) by Apollux(m): 2:38pm On Feb 28, 2017
“We are still searching for ‘her’. We discovered two of our search patrols killed as at the last report. That proves she may still be alive. “
“But what if she has help. After three days, she shouldn’t be in a shape to fend off attackers and engage in prolong concealment. I’d suggest that you assume you have more undercover agents around that area. “ Nicolas put in looking rather plain in his white suit.
Before Jeffery could reply, Dalmar came in. “That makes sending the virus to us at once more pressing. The subject to carry out the attack is already primed. “
“Alright will be sending it now. I will be delivering it by a fast cargo air c-“ A loud explosion sound cut off the CEO of Syntech in mid sentence.
“What’s that? “ Asked the image of Dalmar on the screen.
“I believe this complex just got attacked. “ Jeffery wheeled around the control consoles on the table, checking out the camera inputs from the perimeter defenses. He got angry with the limited security options left here just so the public don’t get worried. They wanted this place to look as innocent as possible so the high security work going on here will not be discovered. Unfortunately this place have been the best location to brew the complex DNX 2 virus, because of easy access to the native micro organism paired with the Dengue virus, the swamp worm. A blind and limbless animal that carries the X ingredients in its guts. It will take a long time for earth’s IPEA or GCDC for that matter to find out what it is and before they can get an antidote, it will be too late.
“That means you may not be able to get the virus out again if earth’s agents are already there.” Dalmar said with concern.
“I will get the virus to you at the arranged time, earth agents or not. “
“ And how do you plan accomplishing that, Mr. Jeffery? “
“I have a surprise waiting for them. “ The CEO of Syntech cut the communication then and started activating several security set up.

Marvel twisted the hover bike control and moved the bike in zig zag patterns to avoid the several lazer fire directed at them. “Hey Mole clear my back.”
The Mole brought his hover bike close by and activated its mini gun. The bullets hammered down in the area the lazer fire had come from. Three black clad bodies jumped and convolves as the bullets hit them.
Marvel spoke to his passenger “I have to drop you somewhere around here, with your weight I can’t maneuver the bike well. “
“Ok, just get me close enough so I can get to the complex on foot. “ Jade said back to him. After dropping her some meters from the complex, he pulled back on the speed of the hover bike. “C’mon Mole time to get into that place. They will be bringing in their armed air patrol soon from the areas they have gone on search. “
The Mole acknowledged with a nod and brought his bike in line with Marvel’s own.
“Hey boss, an air car just got in your area and I also just sighted a gun boat coming. I have to deal with that, the air car is waiting for you at the entrance to the complex. “Hardwire’s voice crackled in the micro com link in Marvel’s ear.
Seconds later the sky some distance behind him blossomed with the fire ball of an explosion. That should be Hardwire taking out the gun boat. “Mole, I have to bait that air car out and you take it from behind. “
“Ok” the Mole simply replied through the com link.
Marvel brought his bike within the area around the gate and the Mantis police air car flew up to confront him bearing proudly its blue, red and white colors. The air around the hover bike got struck several times by lazer fire from the air car. Marvel swerved, jerked and rolled to avoid all. With Jade out of the bike, it became more maneuverable. He did a 180 degree turn and was just in time to see twin rockets from the Mole’s hover bike strike at the car and it blew up in a massive fire ball.
The bounty hunter indicated with his head that he is moving toward the compound. The Mole acknowledged with a fist then two fingers. Marvel looked at the magnification screen on the hover bike and saw squads of troopers mounted at the gate, armed with guns and RPGs pointed his way.
Re: MARVEL CHRONICLES (science Fiction) by Apollux(m): 3:30pm On Feb 28, 2017
Well Marvel didn’t plan to keep them waiting. He pulled down the speed of the hover bike to it’s maximum of 250km/h and activated the rockets under it. He moved the bike. The bike was like a speck on the sky before the eyes of the complex defenders and in two seconds it was bearing down on them appearing like a dark shadowed blur and releasing two rockets at the gate. Twin explosions blew the gates inwards and knocked off the bodies around it. Marvel break quickly before the bike will be taken too far. As he turn back to the complex he saw that the Mole’s bike was already there doing mop up, cutting down any survivors with the mini gun. When Marvel got there the place was clear totally and the Mole had landed the bike waiting for him. Marvel stopped beside him too.
Marvel touched the storage compartment of the bike and brought out his tools . First he strapped on his twin holsters for his gauge 4 and M2000 pistols. He put on an elastic combat webbing hanged with frag grenades, termite and phosphorus detonators. Spare clips for his MAC penetrator. He brought out the penetrator, slapped in a fresh clip and knocked in a round into its chamber.
“Let’s get in. “ he said to the Mole who already have a plasma gun on his hands, a utility belt on his waste loaded with grenades and extra power cells for the plasma.
“Hey don’t get in there without me, you will get lost in the labyrinth of that building if I’m not around to lead the way. “ Jade called out to them, running in through the gate from the forest.
“I thought you got rid of her. “ The Mole said bitterly.
“Ease up man, you know we are supposed to bring her in as part of our job.”
“Yes I know that Marvel, but I don’t like her. “
Marvel waited till Jade got to them. “Stay behind us lady so you don’t get hurt. “
“Hey spare me the chivalry bullsh.it crap. I can rake care of myself. I have been doing that since your mon still had you on magnetic clip diapers. “ Jane said loudly with face turn red with rage.
“Says the ignorant girl who brings a knife to a gun fight. “ Marvel turned away from her. “Mole watch her and spank her if she gets out of line. “
Jade’s next retort got swallowed back down when she saw the dark look the Mole gave her.
Re: MARVEL CHRONICLES (science Fiction) by Apollux(m): 3:31pm On Feb 28, 2017
Marvel pulled out his mini drone, set it up to spy ahead for him while he stayed back to view the data sent to him through his wrist com. As soon as he finished studying the display, he ran in and slide down. Lazer fire from inside the building hit every where around the door he got in from searching for him. He rolled to the left , smashed through a door and got into an empty room.
“Stay back Mole till I clear this place.” He screamed at the top of his voice. He checked his wrist com display noting the distance of the shooters from him. He pulled out two frag grenades. Before moving he noticed that there is another door opposite the one he just entered through in the passage. He ran through the open door across the passage and crashed into the second room. He threw the first frag grenade. As that one left his hand, he came around and threw the second one. Screams came from down the passage that the explosions drowned. The twin explosions followed each other. As the smoke cleared, Marvel called in to the Mole to join him. He saw a shadow stagger into the passage, Marvel shot him without a second glance. The Mole caught up with him as Jade trail in behind. The short passage lead into two corridors, the left into a large wide room. The right into a long passage again having several doors on opposite sides. Before they could take another step, a door open on the right side disgorging Mantis troops.
“Get back” Marvel shouted as he pulled back into the short passage with the Mole behind him. But Jade jumped ahead into the right passage making several graceful moves that will shame the best ballet dancers of earth. Lazer fire flew through the spaces surrounding her, but her jumps, twists, turns and landings on her light feet were carried out with a serene control of every anatomy of her body. She got close to the shooters and her katana’s blade popped up. Her hand was a blur of speed and motion. With every move, flesh was sliced, heads severed from their bodies, lungs and stomach punctured. When she stopped, seven bodies were laying down at her feet, leaking blood.
Re: MARVEL CHRONICLES (science Fiction) by Apollux(m): 3:32pm On Feb 28, 2017
“Impressive if I must say so my self but you have to duck” Marvel dived into the right passage and pulled her down just in time as a grenade launched from a tube passed overhead and detonated further down the passage. The Mole rolled in, plasma gun lifted, he directed his fire at the direction of the grenade shooter. The plasma gun spew out microwave beam that caught the shooter and the heat burnt him to crisp. Screams of pain sounded behind the burnt shooter, as those behind him experienced the second and third degree burns from the plasma shot.
Marvel untangled himself from Jade, ran down the direction, with his MAC penetrator pushing ahead, as he got closer, he pulled the trigger. Three troopers screaming in pains got cut down. He moved towards the large room at the left side of the passage.
The room was wide with several cages that must have held animals in the past but all now empty. All the cages were arranged on top each other and by the sides in height of four. With a rough count, Marvel got about forty cages. Beyond the cages were thick iron doors, all locked with just a tiny slit with armored glass to peep in through. On each of the doors are painted words and letters. Test subject one to test subject ten on each door. When Marvel looked into all the doors through the glass slit he saw grotesque misshapen bodies. Their shapes so contorted he couldn’t tell if they are humans or animals. Well here lies one of the evidence of the illegal genetic experimentation carried out by the corporations. He looked back at Jade who came closer and brought out a recording device and began to document as much as she can.
Marvel turned back and looked at the door they just came in by. In very large letters, the words RECYCLING PLANT was mounted. He continued looking through the doors and noticed that the doors with test subjects seven to ten were empty. He noticed another door leading to a second wide room. He moved into that one and stopped wondering about what happened to test subjects seven to ten.
In the room are ten metal and glass capsules, four were occupied with several humanoid shapes but more than three meters tall. Grafted in with mechanical parts, immersed into thick colorless liquid only four of them where occupied, the other six where empty.
What the hell are the corporations involved in here? Are they creating cyborgs? Could this be where Dr. Guthrie got his ideas from? But these don’t look humans any more. They have been mutated beyond recognition.

Something on the wrist com display caught his eyes.
“Mole we are about to get visitors. “ Marvel ran back to the previous room and directed them how to prepare to welcome the troopers on their way coming.
Three Mantis troopers ran into the room and fell down by the bullets from the penetrator. Others coming behind them pulled back. Marvel stopped wonder about that when a remote controlled armored personnel shield drone broke into the room. The Mantis troops hiding behind it and shooting at three of them. Marvel, the Mole and Jade all had covers but were pinned down by the fire and Mantis troops have began entering the room and fanning out, taking positions to fire from. Marvel stood from his hidden place shot at the drone, the armor piercing bullets bounced of the body of the drone. He dropped back to hiding when the troops behind the drone shot at him. His amour took several lazer bolts hits but the heat sink armor compensated for it, dissipating the heat.
The Mole stoop up too and directed fire from the plasma gun at the drone. The microwave heat blast hammered at the drone. The drone’s body glowed bright orange as the beam struck it. Some of the troopers behind the drone succumbed to the heat, dropped down as their lungs and throat got charred. Those not affected ran back into the passage. But the drone continued to move in. The power cell of the plasma gun ran dry and the Mole dropped down as lazer fire from the hidden troopers chased him back into hiding. He plugged in a new power cell replacing the depleted one.

Marvel pulled out a frag grenade, threw it at the slowly moving drone. The grenade hit the body of the drone with a loud clang sound and exploded. Shrapnel from the explosion tore through some of the troopers behind the drone. Few dropped with mortal wounds from the grenades. Others pulled back again. But the drone wasn’t stopped. More troopers poured in. A frag grenade was thrown at the hiding place of Marvel. He jumped out, ran the short distance to another cover before the grenade exploded. Under cover Marvel saw that his heat sink device was blinking red. Some lazer blots must have hit him again. He pulled off the spent power cell and put in the spare with him. The heat sink came on again.
Marvel knew that the frag grenade won’t stop the drone, he just needed to clear out some of the troopers behind it but he got a more serious response than he bargained for. He palmed his termite detonator, made sure the magnetic clamp was active. Jumped out of his hiding place, ran towards the second room, shooting with the penetrator on his left hand. Dropping few of the troopers that had come out from behind the drone and throwing the termite detonator at the drone. The small aluminum colored cylinder hit the center of the drone and got attached to it by the active magnetic clamp. The termite exploded with a bright flash scattering phosphorus coals on every path the drone. As the white hot coals touch the body, the drone armored cover started to dissolve and break down. Within seconds, the drone was a broken down pieces of machine parts that still continued to break down. The Mole and Jade opened fire on the exposed troopers with the plasma gun and the NOVA pc303. Some dropped down from lazer fire, others just got turn to charcoal where they stood. Marvel standing at the entrance to the second room mowed down the rest of the troopers that have found their way into the room. Within seconds it was over.

From the second room, Marvel noticed another locked door, after examining it he shook his head sadly. “What ever it is we are looking for may just be behind this door, but we can’t get through. It is heavily armored and reinforced. Also it have a laminated layer on its surface that is a proof against my termite grenades. So nothing I have at the moment can open it. “
“Oh don’t look so down casted, the door is actually not locked against you. “ A voice sounded from a tiny vox box located at the top of the door. The sudden sound of the voice jerked them all into attack stance. “Oh don’t get tensed up, I’m the only one here and I’m relatively unarmed. Come and see for yourself. “
A barely audible click sounded and with a low hum the door slid apart. Revealing a white walled room with the appearance of a big lab. Glasses, test tubes, huge glass bakers with organic parts of living organisms in some sort of liquid solutions occupied a large section of the room. Another part of the room is taken over by delicately looking medical equipment, an x-ray cube, a medi bot box. The latest of a gene sequencing machine with a large monitor showing countless figures scrolling in fast speed. At the center of the room is a large metal table, with few consoles, a data analyzer device, a holo monitor and someone sitting on a power chair that hovers some centimeters above the floor. The man sitting on the chair appeared sick. A huge tank is fixed at the back of the chair, with tubes running from it to the man’s face having a mouth apparatus he can use to breath from it when needed. A life support machine was affixed to his chest blinking with different colored LED lights, connecting to his body with several linking pipes supplying nourishment and filtering waste. His skin look dead white. A sudden rancid odor permeate from him.
