G.H.O.S.T.: The Vaknar War

WAR

Xavier heard a cackling nearby as he ran towards the headquarters's Deep chambers, where G.H.O.S.T. kept every criminal deemed too dangerous for the Hold. Reaching the central elevator chasm, Xavier ran up to see Shane and Atlas fighting as the rest of the Elites fought the remaining Vaknar top threats. Frost and Toya fought against a tiger-helmed soldier, whose suit was burnt but the anger in her eyes noticed the lack of care she had for the flames, while trading blows with Anitta Von Ross, outfitted in her suit as well. The Chicken Helmed soldier had come back, as he fought against Kane and Oliver, suited up and crazy as ever. Maven found himself fighting a squad of Vaknar soldiers with the rest of the G.H.O.S.T. agents able to fight.
Shane and Atlas were locked in a heated battle.
Atlas slammed his fist in Shane's face and slashed him in the chest.

"You ruined everything,"

"Did I? Did I?!" Atlas said.

"You think I wanted this?"

"This is your doing, what do you mean you didn't want this boy!" Atlas said angrily.

"My doing? I didn't start all of this."

"I wasn't the one that ignited the war, I wasn't the one who took the lives of billions, I wasn't the one who tortured a child to gain his power."

Before he could blink, Shane swung with a cosmic flame erupting as he swung.
Atlas narrowly missed the swing as he unsheathed his Zion Blade.

"I am not the one who outed my kind."

"Shane, what do you mean?"

"The Elites, the Shadow Elites, all of us are more powerful than these human scum, yet we serve them, and for WHAT?!" exclaimed Shane.

"We are protecting them! We are in the process of growing into a force that they can trust, not tear down."

"And how do you know what they think? You're a man turned god."

"I'm a man, a man that loves his people, a man that fights for what's right! Think of your Uncle!"

"The only thing I'm thinking of is you dead at my feet!" shouted Shane as he swung his sword only to be combated by Atlas's own with its demonic flames.
As Atlas swung, the sword split atoms and created a shockwave that blew the floor apart and sent Shane flying.

Atlas stood over Shane with his sword at his neck.

"I'm not your enemy."

"You are now."

"You don't want this, trust me boy."

"I want all that comes, I will do it for my beloved people."

"You're people don't want it."

"What did you just say?!"

"you're wrong, you don't-."

Before he could finish, Shane pulled the sword away from Atlas' control and stabbed him in the chest with a hidden blade.
As Shane stood up, Atlas slowly fell to his knees and a pool of blood began to form.
Shane felt a strange feeling in his head as he looked down to see the blood pouring out organically.
Shane punched his head to try and get that strange feeling out.
As he forced himself up, he backed off from a weak Atlas.
Atlas raised and gripped his chest, he looked down to see a tank panel from his suit.

"Shane, no,...What have you done my boy?"

Atlas tried to stand up and grab his sword.
Shane stopped him.

"Take your sword, and take your death with it."

"No."

Atlas willed his body to take the sword into his hands and held it, muttering the incantation once again.
Summoning a prayer to Tyranos once again red liquid inferno flames leaked out his eyes and his blade reformed to its regular shape before he took one step forward and towards the Vaknar terrorist.
As he stepped three steps forward.
The blade suddenly glowed red as a mist cloud formed, it then formed into the phasing shape of a cloud and sword.
