The Apocalypse [The Original]

Ch. 28

   Jason got up. It was starting to thunder and lightning.
"Looks like a storm's coming." said Mekkaku. "How appropriate."
"You won't get away with this, Mekk." said Jason.
Jason pulled out his sword and ran at Mekka. Mekkaku pulled out his sword and blocked Jason's attack. They swung at each other with their swords, both either dodging or blocking the other's attack. Jason kicked Mekka and he stumbled backwards.
"It's no use..."
"Don't even think about saying it, Mekk. I'm not gonna give up."
"You don't have a choice." said Mekka, pushing a button on his arm.
"Oh, yes I do." said Jason as a lightning bolt struck a few inches from him. Jason stared at the spot where the bolt hit and then looked back at Mekk. "You do that?"
"The machine has been activated. You're out of time."
"Unfortunately for you, I was on your side for a little bit and I know all about the machine. I've got about thirty minutes to save the world."
"That's not enough time for you."
"I'll be the judge of that."
Jason ran at Mekka and slid under him. Mekka swung but missed. Jason stood up behind him and stabbed him in the back. Jason pulled out the sword and Mekka fell to his knees.
"Not bad, Jason."
Jason raised his sword, getting ready for the final blow when, out of sheer bad luck, he was struck by a bolt of lightning. Jason fell to the ground. He felt strange. He tried using his psychokinesis but it wouldn't work.
"What's happening to me?"
Mekka stood up and turned towards Jason. "Well, well, well. Looks like you do have a weakness after all." He pushed some more buttons on his wrist. "It's over for you." he kicked Jason hard. "You should have never betrayed me."
"I didn't betray you, Mekka. I betrayed my friends."
"Which reminds me; when I'm done with you, they're next."
He turned away from Jason and headed back to the hangar... but was stopped. Jason grabbed his leg. Mekka spun around and kicked Jason in the face.
"Don't worry, Jason. Your time will come."
Mekka broke through the wall where the window used to be and approached Wave.
"Get back, Mekk!" yelled Wave.
Blaze stepped in front of him. Her fist was covered in flames. He grabbed her face and threw her aside. It was Silver's turn. He used psychokinesis to hold Mekka. Mekkaku fired flares that blinded Silver, making him lose concentration. Mekka picked him up and threw him at Blaze. Jet picked up a pipe and charged Mekka. He swung but Mekka grabbed the pipe, bent it in half, and then kicked Jet in the stomach. Sonic and Tails tried to rush him but he fired a rocket at the ground and Blinded them. Before they had a chance to react, Sonic tripped over Blaze and Silver. Mekka grabbed Tails by the tails and slammed him into the ground. Knuckles threw a few punches but Mekka dodged them and delivered a powerful blow to Knuckles' head, knocking him out. He grabbed Wave by her shirt collar and dragged her outside where Jason lay. He pushed her to her knees and held his sword by her throat.
"All right, Jason. Your idea. The last thing you see before you die will be your friend's death."
"Jason! Get up!" yelled Wave. "Please!"
"Mekka..." Jason said softly. "You'll pay for this."
"Jason, what's wrong with you?" yelled Wave. "Get up."
"I'm afraid that Jason here was struck by Lightning, Wave."
"What?"
"I finally figured out Jason's weakness; lightning. It seemed appropriate to call Jason 'invincible'. I mean, what are the chances of getting hit by lightning?"
"Jason! Get up!"
"ENOUGH!" yelled Mekka. "Any last words you'd like to say to Wave before I kill her?"
"Everything's gonna be all right, Wave. Don't you worry."
"What?" laughed Mekka. "'Everything's gonna be all right'? Those are your last words? That's a shame."
"No. It's not. What is a shame is how quickly this is going to end." said Jason.
"That's it." said Mekka. "I'm sick of waiting." he looked down at Wave. "Ready to die?" he said raising his sword.
He was about to swing downward when Jason got up and threw his sword at Mekka. It impaled Mekka in the stomach again. This caused Mekka to drop his sword. Jason caught the sword, Mekka tried to swipe at Jason, Jason dodged the attack and stabbed Mekkaku in the head. He grabbed the blade with his other hand and twisted the sword until Mekka's head exploded. Jason grabbed Wave with his non-bleeding hand and pulled her out of the way. Mekka fell to his knees, headless, and then collapsed to the ground.
