Universe (Part 4): The Apocalypse

Chapter 4

Then the sound occured. The loud sound took a few seconds to travel throughout, all there was is a crater. Everything else was gone, except for un the middle was standing there, Steve and Sam, and a body. A bunch of pieces of meat was on the ground.

"That fool, look at him now-" Then from behind Steve came Brick.

"SUPER PUNCH!" Brick yelled out. The punch immediately destroyed a part of Steve's body. Steve was pushed back, and Sam was immediately cut in half. Brick just stood there in rage, breathing in and out over and over again. "Good always wins..." Brick says. Then he looks over to the bodies of Steve and Sam. The bodies layed there, but there was no blood. Instead there were mechanical parts inside, circuits and wires. Then the head of Sam turned toward Brick.

"Steve and Sam are dead. I cant believe you fell for that. But still, I have a prize for you. I'm only going to tell you this once." The robot of Sam says to Brick. Brick listened closely. "The only way to shut off the entire army of robots in the world is by going to the capital of the US located... in Washington DC, in the capital building there is a lever in the most down area that says emergency shut off. Shut it off and you'll turn off all the units... goodbye, Brick..." The power then shut off on the robots. I. The distance the car began to come back for him to pick him up. Brick got onto the car and they began to drive back to base.

"What happen then?" The driver of the vehicle asks Brick.

"A lot... I'll explain it at base to everyone." Brick says and they drive back to base. Brick explains everything when he reaches base, and now all the soilders are mad at the US.

"What are we going to do next then?" A soilder asks Brick.

"We need to prepare to attack that damn factory, we need to call everyone we can, and expose the corrupt government while we're at it. But from now on. We are officially not a part of the United States anymore. We are all men and woman united as one group to save the world." Brick says and the crowd cheered once he finished his sentence. The base then got right to work, they began trying to contact soilders all across the world, and some of the soilders volunteered to take some aircraft and vehicles for them. And so the preparations began. The base was heavily armed and upgraded and even a airfield was implemented. That base, was called Merg. They following 2 months they prepared as much as possible, thousands of soilders were equipped and ready in case of an attack from the US.

"Are the planes ready yet?" Brick asks a soilder.

"Yes sir, they are ready!" The soilder responds.

"Just call me Brick, no need to call me sir, it doesn't feel right. But anyways, let's go." Brick says. Then they aboard the planes. They were equipped heavily and brought some planes with tanks on them. They were set. And so Brick entered the plane. In the plane was Larry and other important men to the Merg army.

"First flight?" Larry asks Brick. Brick chuckled nervously.

"Kind of, my last flight was arriving here for the first time, very bumpy landing." Brick then sat down on his seat. Then the plane began to rotate around the area. At first the plane moved slowly and the engines were slowly becoming more and more silent the more time he was on the plane

"Washington DC... I heard from the soilders there it's a fucking warzone... bodies piled all over the capital building's roof and road... oh my god..." Larry says. Then the plane stopped. The plane speakers were then turned on.

"Welcome aboard everyone, please remain seated and have you're seatbelts fasted. This is going to be bumpy." The pilot said. Then the plane comepletly stopped. Brick looked outside the window, it was dark and he could see only a few lights of the buildings. Then the plane began to move foward, going slowly.

"Is this what it's like to fly in a plane? This is making me uncomfortable..." Brick says. Then the plane stops again. Then out of nowhere the sound of the engines roaring began to be heard, the sound of other engines of the planes also began to be heard in the distance. The plane began to move slowly, it felt as if the whole inside was being moved by the sheer force of the plane. Then the plane stopped once more, the only thing ahead was the runway, and to the sides were tens of other planes. Each with hundreds of men all ready to fight, and this may be their last fight and flight. The plane then went foward, going slow, then pacing faster, andd faster, and faster, until it seemed as if they were moving at the speed of sound.

"Lets not hope for this to be our last fight, but hope for this mission to be successful." Brick says. Then the plane began to go up high into the air at intense speeds. Brick grabbed the arm rest on the chair as the plane went up, he closed his eyes as the plane moved around. Then it felt as if the plane was going up and down, left and right. Then Brick looked out the window as the plane calmed down.

"Its beautiful isn't it?" Larry asks Brick. Out the window was the lights from hundreds of cities with still working lights and lights from the military base.

"The world is so big... to think that this isn't even 1 thousandth of the land in the world... and it's still expanding... amazing." Brick says. The rest of the flight went smoothly. Until they got near Washington DC.

"Attention all passengers, we are arriving at our destination, please fasten you're seatbelts and get ready." The pilot says through the speaker. Then plane quickly descended and they managed to make a landing on a nearby clear area.

"Everyone, I just have one last announcement to make before this." Brick says as he goes on top of the plane.

"What is it sir?" One soilder asked.

"Listen, the whole world is counting on all of us, everybody in here is now officially a man, let's put away all our problems and negative energy, forget about you're bad past, because the present is now what matters. Because in the end nobody is going to be there to remember you're past when your dead. So please, work together and we'll be able to overcome this great challenge. But that doesn't mean everyone will be able to go home unfortunately, as someone once told me. I can't save everyone, and they are right. So take care of yourselves. Now let's head towards the capitol building. We begin the assault on my command." They all drove to the Capitol building with thousands of men behind Brick with guns and tanks, and planes in the air. They arrive at the building and all over the building were bodies piled on top of eachother, the the roof was bathed in blood and the sky was a dirty orange with orange clouds. Brick looked as all his men got into position. Then there he stood in the middle of the road.

"Almost..." One soilder quietly says as he aims into the White House.

"Everybody is in position... ready when you signal." A soilder tells Brick through radio.

"Now." Hundreds of rockets were shot by the helicopters at the White House, then out of the doors came giant robots. Then the ground near them rumbled and out of the ground came out hundreds of large robots that shot out anti emp's. "I have to save a bit of energy... but for now.. Super form!" Brick yells out and runs towards the barrage of gunfire of the robots. Brick was quickly getting shot everywhere and he managed to generate a shield around him to block the hits, he quickly ran towards the White House doors straight through the crowd of hundreds of robots.

"Dont let him enter. Or else I shall show him the wraith of the cold." A voice says. There was then a small breeze that made Brick a bit cold.

"The temperature just lowered... each time I get closer it gets far more colder... what is this?" Brick then gets stepped on by one of the robot's, luckily Brick quickly grabbed the robot's foot and pushed it away.

"Everyone! I'm about to rush in! Let's do this now!" Brick yells out and he rushes at the doors of the building. Then he quickly opens the doors in a rush, only to be pushed back by a powerful force.
