High above the city of Lavadale, one of the 7 major cities that was built at the base of an extinct volcano on a large tropical island. A plane carrying Gutz and a squad of spec ops soldiers opened it's doors. Gutz stood up grabbing a parachute and turned to the soldiers, "Ok! We'll run through the briefing one more time! We are about to drop into the city of Lavadale! Our mission is to take back the forward operating base and pave a way for our good men and women to push up and hold the line on the outter perimeter! Everything for the city rides on this!" The soldiers stood up and saluted. "We are clear! Go go go!" The soldiers one by one jumped diving toward the city with Gutz being the last to make the jump. As he descended towards the city all he could feel was a deep anxiety. He was nervous and soaked in sweat, unsure if the mission would even make a difference. He took a deep breath and pulled his chute and as it unraveled the sudden slow in his fall knocked the wind out of him for a second. As the ground grew closer Gutz readied himself for the landing, once he hit the ground he quickly removed the pack from his back and regrouped with the squad. Gutz silently approached the sniper of the squad, "what's the current situation?" He asked.
"So many of those things are crawling about, you weren't kidding when you said they are unnerving to look at... rats, foxes, wolves, its weird..." the sniper scanned the city some more. "There, the embassy building, looks like thats where they're making their final stand"
Gutz nodded, "ok, you stay here and provide covering fire, Alpha 1 through 3, you flank from the north, I'll flank from the south, we'll apply preassure in a pincer and thin out their numbers"
"Yes sir!" The soldiers responded as they moved out.
Gutz moved around and began approaching from the south being careful not to draw too much attention until he got close to the embassy building.
Gutz spoke softly into an earpiece, "on your go Alpha 1" Gutz looked in the direction of where Alpha 1 was approaching from. He watched as Alpha 1 gave hand signals for the squad to get into position and nodded towards Gutz and Gutz nodded back. "Clear for hot" Gutz readied to rush in.
They began moving towards the embassy opening fire. Gutz rushed towards the embassy using his daggers to cut through furnetics that were in his way. "Remember! We get them and pave a way to the FOB!" Gutz run up to the front door of the embassy and motioned for Alpha 1 to breach and flash. Alpha 1 nodded and pulled out a flash grenade before checking the door and pulling the pin and opening the door, tossing it in. The flash went off and growls and groans from the furnetics were heard. Alpha squad began to move in taking out furnetics as they made their way through the building towards the roof. As they reached the room the squad that had been making their final stand there sighed in relief when they saw Gutz and the spec ops squad.
"Thank fuck you guys are here!" One of the soldiers said.
"We have no time for idle chatter, Monofer is on his way with a transport truck. We are going to pave a path for througu to the FOB that was lost and have reinforcements sent in through that path" Gutz motioned for everyone to pile down the stairs towards the transport truck that was now rolling up.
"Perfect timing there little dude!" Monofer hopped out of the driver seat to let Gutz drive.
"Of course, hop in the back with everyone just in case" Gutz ordered Monofer.
"You got little dude!" Monofer happily hopped into the back bed of the transport truck and they began to drive off.
After a few minutes a rumbling began to shake the truck.
"Ummmm do you guys feel that?" One of the grunt soldiers asked.
"Unfortunately yes" Monofer said before turning his attention to a mechanical creature speeding its way towards the truck.
"Is that? What the fuck? Gutz step on it! We have company!" Monofer shouted.
Gutz looked in the rear view to see it closing in fast, "we might not be able to out run it!" Gutz shouted back.
"Shit! Ok! I got an idea! You guys give me covering fire!" Monofer shouted to the soldiers before jumping off the back and using his ability to manipulate sound to give him enough speed to keep up with the truck.
As the creature got closer Monofer could make it out. It was cyborg like, it's legs were metallic and the bottom of the metal legs where wheels almost like rollerskates it was using. It had boosters attached to its back and a half mechanical mask over its face. Its tail was metallic that had a blade on the end. It's mask read "Prototype C-17 Speed Demon" Monofer was unnerved by all the forcefully installed mechanical parts leading to them looking rather grotesque.
The Speed Demon lunged at Monofer using it's tail, Monofer quickly brought up his blade and blocked and countered the attack cutting the metallic armor on it.
The soldiers in the back of the transport truck began firing at the Speed Demon as it effortlessly dodged and weaved, avoiding the bullets. Monofer sent out a shockwave of sound at the Speed Demon causing it to stumble a bit and fall behind before picking up speed again.
"God damn this thing is persistent!" Monofer changed his stance and held his blade underhand as he blocked another attack from the Speed Demon. Monofer skid across the ground for a second, the pavement taking a chunk of fur from him. "Fuck!" His skin now red and raw in the area he lost fur from. Monofer grit his teeth as the Speed Demon locked in and sped up towards him. The Speed Demon made quick precision strikes with it's tail, each on Monofer struggle to block.
The Speed Demon spoke, it's voice metallic and raspy, "Why help these worthless creatures? You were made to be unstoppable, to rule over the city of Dubplis. So why throw it all away for them?"
"Because..." Monofer paused before speaking more "they have the right to live just as much as we do!" Monofer used sound waves to jump back and ran his finger around the ring of his blade. The ring lighting up in an RGB fasion and the edge of his blade lighting up as well as. "And if that means I have to kill you father... THAN I WILL!"
