SUPREMEO Vol.I: Trials Of The Machine King

Chapter XIX (arc2): The Horde

  King Yafeu gets shown a feed through his helmet and its Sigmond sitting on the King's throne

In a condescending tone he says to his former prisoner, "You don't seem so happy to see me? It's not because I'm sitting on your chair is it?"

King Yafeu replies, "How did you get out?"

Sigmond answers, "I could tell you that but I think your friend Amaro needs help."

The King yells, "WHAT DID YOU DO!?"

Sigmond tells King Yafeu, "Well long story short. He's buried in the dungeon under ten thousand low level combat droids. I gotta tell you though Yafeu it's pretty amazing, whatever you drilled in his head about droids not having a choice in human disputes he honestly believes that. He's trying to fight through the horde without damaging these out of date droid's memory cards."

King Yafeu tells Sigmond, "I should've left you for dead." Sigmond laughs and replies, "Shoulda, coulda, woulda but you didn't! ENOUGH with the arguing kid! If you wanna save your friend hurry up over to the dungeon. I made a brand new pathway for you to enter. You can't miss it! Just look for the smoke and metal bodies pouring into the mountainside."

The King now visibly frustrated charges toward the castle at a faster pace. Supremeo follows and asks the King, "So what is it?"

King Yafeu replies, "The explosion earlier was set off by the worst of our criminals of this land, the empress's advisor Sigmond Dominus. It's been a decade since he has seen sunlight. I hope your creator put all the information on him in your memory cards.

Supremeo replies, "He did. How did he get out?"

King Yafeu tells Supremeo, "I don't know. I was thinking about asking him..."

The two arrive near the castle and just like Sigmond said fumes of smoke are emanating out the blown off pathway. And combat droids are pouring in the entrance.

King Yafeu thinks to himself, "If these guys are still pouring into the dungeon Amaro must still be in there!" The two immediately land near the pathway and begin to fight through the horde. King Yafeu yells toward Supremeo, "No headshots!"

Supremeo asks, "Why?" The King explains by saying, "Most of these droids memory system is packed into its head. Their eyes usually don't glow red like this. Sigmond must be controlling them somehow. We can put them out temporarily and repair them later."

King Yafeu unsheathes his katanas and tells Supremeo, "Sigmond thinks stalling me by putting innocent lives in front of my way will work!?" With a tighter grip, King Yafeu's blades begin to flow with extreme heat. Like a bolt of lightning Sigmond dashes toward the entrance.

The King takes out a handful of droids heading towards the entrance but is blocked by more droids in the entrance.

Supremeo is right behind King Yafeu shooting down droids that approach the King's back.

At first, they approach 1 by 1.

Then they approach by the dozen.

Supremeo switches his attack from his fireballs to his fingertip gun cannons.

His Panoptes lens shows hundreds of more droids approaching the blown off entryway. Supremeo yells to the King saying, "There's too much!!! I won't be able to hold them off for too long!" King Yafeu tells Supremeo, "Just give me a little more time! I'm almost through!"

King Yafeu manages to create a small opening to the dungeon and catches a glimpse of Amaro swinging his sword before getting buried underneath the attacking combat droids.
