Remnant's Protectors

Clash Of Irons

3rd POV

Axel and Ferrum eye each other. They then uncover their faces. Ferrum shows disgust.

Ferrum: "That is one ugly knockoff."

Axel: "Funny. Was gonna say the same about your rusty hunk of junk."

Ferrum: "This is a work of art!! It's the pinnacle of my genius, my wealth. Like me, it is perfection."

Axel: "You've got an ego. I hate egos."

Covering their faces back up Axel fires a rocket at Ferrum. He lets it hit him head on. When the explosion subsides he is shown to have taken no damage.

Ferrum: "You see? I have sustained no damage. Thus proving my suit's superiority."

Axel: *internally* "I really hate this guy. Gotta find a way to bend that gold suit of his."

Hovering Axel takes off towards Ferrum. He's soon tackled and flown away.

Ferrum: "Unhand me!"

He repeatedly slams his elbow onto Axel's back. But he unleashes a blast under Ferrum's chin that launches him high into the air. Then aiming both arms he launches multiple missiles at Ferrum. They engulf him in an explosion but like before he takes no damage.

Ferrum: "You're very stubborn. Allow me to show you how it's done."

He disappears as a trail of light. Axel crosses his arms, barely managing to block a punch from Ferrum. Ferrum then kicks Axel in his side with enough force to partially expose his side.

Ferrum: "That's how you do damage."

Axel: "You talk too much."

Grabbing his shoulders Axel headbutts Ferrum's helmet. Slightly backing up Ferrum does a wide right hook. Axel however ducks then sends a right hook into Ferrum's side. But as he makes contact he unleashes a grenade. It explodes annoying Ferrum.

Ferrum: "When're you ever gonna learn? That's not gonna work!!!"

Holding out his hands he unleashes a beam from both palm blasters. It hits Axel sending him backwards. Holding up his arm it's left to take the full brunt of the attack. Meanwhile Axel deploys a rocket on his wrist.

Ferrum: "Really?"

It's fired heading straight for Ferrum. He lets it hit him. When the smoke clears he smiles under his helmet.

Ferrum: "You really need a better attac-"

He groans holding his chest. Looking down his eyes widen as his chest armor chips and falls off, exposing his chest.

Ferrum: "How!?!?!"

Axel: "Making your suit out of solid gold was your biggest mistake. Gold cracks and bends under extreme stress. That's why I kept hitting you with all those rockets. I was weakening your suit. You traded function for fashion. If you were truly smart then you'd know that."

A vein bulges out of Ferrum's head.

Ferrum: "I've got my entire world under my thumb!! I control everything electronic!! I'm the smartest person in my universe!!! Compared to everyone else, I'm a fucking god!!!!!!"

He blindly rushes at Axel. But being level headed he twists to the side. Then grabbing the back of Ferrum's helmet he unleashes a palm blast point blank. The force rattles his brain, knocking him out. His body then goes limp.

Axel: "It's always the most prideful that fall the hardest."

Something pops out the side of Ferrum's head. Grabbing it it's revealed as a chip. Inserting it into his helmet Axel is presented with every file owned by Ferrum. He smiles.

Axel: "Some of these could greatly benefit the world. I'm sure he won't mind if I use them."

He tilts his head.

Axel: "What's this one?"

Selecting the file he smiles.

Axel: "You'll greatly benefit me."

Downloading the file to his suit he taps a holographic screen on his forearm. With one final tap a portal is opened.

Axel: "Thank you Ferrum."
