The Apocalypse [The Original]

Ch. 20

   Mekka jumped down and landed on the runway with a thud. All the military personnel grabbed their guns and ran outside. An alarm started blaring and guns started firing at Mekka. The bullets had no effect.
"Foolish humans!" yelled Mekkaku. He raised his arms and fired rockets.
The army men started to scramble as the missile impacted a bunker. Then Mekka turned one of his rocket launchers into a machine gun and started firing.
Jason looked out the window.
"Guess I should go out there."
"Be careful." said Wave.
Jason gave her a quick smile, headed to the exit hatch, and jumped down. He looked around. Everything was on fire except for one building. He must be in that one, thought Jason. So that's where he headed. Mekk moves fast, Jason thought as he entered the bunker. He saw dead guards everywhere, all with bullet holes.
"Whoa." said Jason.
He continued further into the bunker until he found some stairs. Once he descended into the base's basement, he saw Mekka looking through machine parts.
"Well, well, well. Your handy work?" asked Jason.
"Ah, Jason." said Mekka as he turned to face Jason. "Have you finally realized your true destiny?"
"Actually, I'm here to stop you. For good."
"Well, good luck with that." said Mekka.
Then, in the blink of an eye, Mekka grabbed a table and threw it at Jason, slamming him into the wall behind him. Jason pushed the table away and ran towards Mekka. When he tried to do a flying kick Mekkaku grabbed him by the leg and slammed him into the floor. Mekka knelt down and held Jason down by the throat.
"You can't win, Jason."
"Oh, yes I can." Jason said, coughing.
Jason used Psychokinesis and threw the table back at Mekka, sending him flying backwards. Jason stood up and caught his breath. He picked up a metal pole from a nearby table and headed for Mekka. Mekk stood up.
"Hold it, Jason." said Mekka.
"What now?" asked Jason.
"What if I had proof that you were created for destruction?"
"Well, I'd say 'show me'."
"Come here, then." said Mekka, holding out a small device. It had a file loaded onto it, titled 'Project #7485'.
"Okay." said Jason. "This better not be a trick."
"Oh, I assure you. It's no trick."
Jason cautiously walked over and took the device from Mekka. Once he started reading it, he couldn't stop. He began reading the file out loud.
"An experiment was made... to activate the apocalyptic machine."
"Do you see, now?" asked Mekka.
"Yes." Jason said. "Yes, I do. My powers were created for the sole purpose of world domination. I just... can't believe it. All this time and I was meant to destroy the world?"
"No. Not destroy. You're supposed to help create a new Earth."
"A new Earth?" asked Jason.
"Yes. But first, your former friends." said Mekkaku.
"You mean... Wave and the others."
"Yes. In order to succeed with our plan you must first eliminate them."
"Eliminate?" asked Jason.
"Yes. We can't allow them to get in the way."
"Yeah, you're right. So, I'll return to the ship, play nice, and then--"
"Kill them." finished Mekka. "Kill them all."
