The Last Prince of Rennaya - Draft

Improvise

Kaletor chuckled to himself as he flew away from the fortress, unnoticed and cloaked.

"I don't see why they were so worried. After we kill them all, we can just take their ships. Let's see... now where would they deploy their weak?"

He felt a mass amount of life dissipating from a nearby outpost, holding majority of their weapons and arsenal.

"Looks like I can kill two birds with one stone. What's going on over there?"

He hurried over on a stone platform he made. Arriving to the site, about ten minutes later, just to find a shiny new grey, white and blue, thirty-foot tall robot, cutting down giants and soldiers with a massive photon sword.

It paused seeing him flying towards them, as other siegemech launched rockets into crowds of Cerian soldiers, charging at them and hiding behind stationed barricades. One by one, drawing their last breaths.

Kaletor couldn't help it. Feeling excited, he called out to the pilot of the giant robot. He had never seen another species capable of building technology, that Hadoron and their top scientist had been perfecting.

"You there! The one controlling the giant warrior. Face me in battle!"

Simultaneously, he raised large golem the size of the robot, out of the ground in front of it.

Selvin wasn't too shocked to be encountering a child of Atlas on his mission, however he didn't hesitate to improvise, after carefully reading his opponents power level, he braced himself.

Facing the giant stone golem in front of him, threw away all fear. Sarah had made him a new Nova Prime suit, using data from his fight with Abon.

She found ways to increase durability, and maximize energy efficiency for battle.

She decided to call this new Nova tech, the Prime Ultra.

The golem reached for the Prime's head trying to rip it off, however Selvin stepped back quick, unholstering the pistol on the Prime's belt, and fired three critical shots down its body.

Kaletor laughed out loud and floated closer, as his golem began to crumble.

"It seems you're worthy of a good fight. Let's see what you're made of!"

He raised his palm forward and yelled out.

"Titanic Hammer!"

Out of the golem rubble, a massive arm formed, swinging around while it manifested, a detailed humongous hammer into it's palm, landing a deafening blow to the Prime Ultra. Sending it flying across the field of soldiers, engaging in deadly combat.

"Protect the General!"

Some of the soldiers called out, firing at Kaletor.

He snickered, as he raised stone barriers to protect himself from the incoming fire. At the same time, quietly behind the soldiers, golems rose up. Sneaking up behind them, then snapped their necks and bashed their helmets in.

Selvin woke up from the AI of the Prime Ultra, blaring warning signs of damages incurred from the recent attack.  It would take several minutes for the nanites to repair and rearrange damaged parts on the siegemech.

He could feel a slight concussion from smacking his head on the side on the console. Selvin got up and quickly regained back control of the Prime Ultra and started making his way back to Kaletor.

"Mary, Status?"

Selvin named the AI inside the Prime Ultra after his late wife, so that she would always stay by his side during battle. She could also be transferred to his Nova Lite suit, helping him out as his personal secretary.

"As of now, 13 dead and several injured while you were unconscious. The rest of the soldiers have taken cover. Kaletor has wiped out majority of the android militia that came with us and the Prime suit is at 63% health."

Selvin gritted his teeth at the death of his soldiers.

"I have to stop him or slow him down, until a Nova can make it here. Otherwise, he will kill us all."

The AI whirred processing some more information.

"I've already alerted Saphyra and we have the Sky Hammer on standby. Please be careful Selvin."

Selvin took a few deep breaths, then prepared himself, seeing Kaletor in view, having his way with his soldiers.

"I will Mary... Don't worry, I will."

At Valtorin's Main Aircraft Hangar...

"Hurry up Druqen, Kari will be onto us soon. We've got to get out of here, before it all goes to shit!"

Arna was desperate, regretting the fact that she went behind her father's back because of greed. 'How much would it cost?' She asked herself over and over, yet couldn't come up with an answer.

The enemy attacking them, were way too organized to be like the primitive insects, that her and siblings had joked about.

"We underestimated them."

Druqen looked at her, still doubtful, if this was their best move. He didn't want to waste any opportunities, but he wasn't willing to lay his life down for a lost cause. That was his only reason, he agreed to help her escape.

Their shuttle raced through the sky, picking up speed while cloaked. Druqen picked a path, avoiding the attacking ships still raining thunder. Suddenly he started to get a warning on his radar of an incoming large object.

"Arna we might have some trouble."

Arna grunted, then unstrapped her seatbelt.

"Release the door, I'll destroy anyone trying to stand in our way"

Druqen's face turned pale.

"Wait Arna-"

The shuttle rocked intensely as something grabbed hold of it, stopping it midflight. The view of the cockpit shifted, from the sky, to Machia's face, which had morphed to resemble Kari's.

"Going somewhere?"

The siblings began to tremble in fear.

Druqen was erratically pressing buttons on the console, trying get the shuttle to escape, however he came to realize, there was no way out of this situation. He looked up, defeated, as Arna spoke, unable to keep the fear out of her voice.

"Kari, this isn't what it looks like... we were only going to radio in for reinforcements. We would have been back in no time."

Kari let out a soft-hearted laugh.

"Even if I were to believe you, we could have died by the time you came back. Wouldn't it have been better, to stay and help us drive off the ambush?"

Kari's expression turned serious, which Machia mimicked.

"We came here to avenge Hadoron and our other siblings... Where you really ok with abandoning your blood?"

Arna was taken back by the question, Druqen was speechless and filled with guilt.

"No... No... Sister that's not it-"

Kari smiled.

"Good, I'll forgive you both, if you do one thing for me."

Arna looked up, feeling a slight ray of hope.

"We will do anything...Right Druqen."

Druqen nodded without looking up, giving his approval.

"I'm sorry sister. We'll do whatever you ask of us."

Kari was ecstatic.

"Well, it's simple. I'll need you to die for me."

The siblings eyes went wide. Processing what she was saying.

"NO WAIT-"

It was too late.

Amaara just caught up to Simon and Koji, who were shocked by scene they were witnessing. Machia, chomping down on the cockpit of the shuttle, swallowing everything inside. She realized what had just happened.

"Wow, she's really the type I hate the most."
