POWER: A Tale of Greatness

CHAPTER 38

"Knight Guardian."

The captain dashes towards Guardian, pulling his fist back. "There's no way you'll survive after this!"

Guardian blasted his thrusters and flew straight to his dashing opponent, "Demolition Aim!"

"Accumulative Shock!"

The ground beneath them waved like the ocean, moving outward, sending the unconscious soldiers up in the air.

"You're too bulky to move. Too bad your sacrifice will help none of your allies!" Walter dashed around and stomped Guardian, crashing onto the ground.

"Argghhhhh!" Guardian pushes his torso straight up. "Is that it? Oh, I forgot, I can't feel any pain!"

"Then I'll make you!" Walter pressed his foot on the ground, facing towards Guardian. "Transversal Shockwaves!" Sending waves travelling onto the ground, blasting the android up in the air.

"Thrusters blas–"

Walter tapped Guardian's armor, "Concentration Jolt," and sent him flying higher up in the air.

"What was that?!" Guardian began flying once more and used the momentum to dive bomb his opponent. "Warning, system damage, forty-seven percent... Shut up, system!"

"No matter what you do, you can never defeat me." Walter exclaimed, preparing another attack. "None of you little mice can ever escape the talons of the hawk!"

"Great Aim..." Guardian transformed his arm shield into a hammer and began spinning it. "... Hammer!"

"Counter ..."

"... Shock."

Walter opened his left palm and openly received Guardian's punching hammer.

"So... fast!"

The total force of Guardian's attack transferred into Walter's left arm and accumulated to the right fist.

"Futile..." Walter punched Guardian in the face, using its own power against him.

...

"Ever since I gained consciousness, I've always wanted to know my real purpose in this world..."

"...it's either becoming a useful machine..."

"...or a working robot that follows orders with accuracy..."

"...but none of them really clicks into my system, as they are not what I am truly meant to be."

"Then, one moment, I heard him. Pleading, crying..."

"...I opened my eyes for the first time, and I saw him..."

"...a boy who was crying in front of me..."

"...the boy who worked hard building me..."

"...the boy who dedicated his whole life just to make me work..."

"...he did everything..."

"...just to make me work..."

"...just to..."

"...give me life."

Several months later...

"Come on, come on."

"I, the machine, began to shake for a while until I stopped."

"Please, I need you."

"My master whispered while his tears began to shed from his eyes. I don't know what to do or feel at that time, I wasn't the sentient 'me' at that moment. I was a heartless, being."
