Iron Will

Family vs Family, Friends vs Friends

Marcus and all the other soldiers watched as the new fleet began attacking Locks' and Yori's ships. Another transmission appeared for the Confederation Soldiers to listen to. It was General Roy.

"To all Confederation Soldiers," Roy said. "We have been betrayed by the other Generals and even are own president. They have given their allegiance to someone called The Creator. I ask you all to help me stop them. The Union forces have been betrayed as well. They have agreed to help us. Now will you help them and end this war?!"

Marcus looked around at the other Golems from other squads as they raised their riffles. They began shouting calling for Locks blood.

"Those who are with me defend this Mountain." Roy said. "This Creator wishes to use it for something that could spell the end for are very way of life. Do not let him take it!"

Everyone began moving up the Mountain. No one was fighting. The Union and Confederate forces had found a common enemy.

"Marcus," Noah said on a privet channel in his Golem. "The Creator must stand on this Mountain when the moon shines on it. When their he can began the end of the ritual. We must make sure he can't do this."

"Leave it to me." Marcus said.

"Alright team listen up." Leger said. "From what just happened we must listen to General Roy. This Creator guy wont take this rock, right?"

"Sir, yes sir!" They all replied.

"Then lets move." Leger said moving up the Mountain.

*************************************************************

All the Union and Confederate Golems waited on the Mountain for the coming ship that held the Creator. As soon as it came into range everyone fired on it. They couldn't even scratch the thing. Suddenly it's cannons fired on the Mountain defenders ripping their troops apart. Then Golems began raining down on them.

Marcus charged a coming Golem with his sword and cut it down the middle. He looked closer at the Golem in shock. The Golem reached out to grab Marcus but he quickly stabbed it's fuel holder blowing it up.

"Everyone," Marcus called out to all the Union and Confederate troops. "Destroy them completely. They're not piloted by people, they're unmanned."

"Well that makes things difficult." Calvin spat dodging an attack. "These things will keep coming if we don't completely destroy their controls."

With everyone focused on the coming unmanned Golems the Creator's ship flew up to the top of the mountain. Inside the Creator was getting ready.

"I have are Golems ready for us." Mary said bowing to her hooded leader.

"You are to stay here." The Creator hissed. "Watch the ship and make sure no unwanted guests arrive."

"As you wish." Mary said.

The Creator went to his Golem and launched to the planets below. Once he landed his unmanned Golems formed a protective circle around him. Marcus looked to see the Creator's Golem was three times the normal size of a Golem. It had multiple layers of protection.

"This should be fun." Marcus said.

***********************************************

Locks cursed as his ship was surrounded by Noah's fleet. He watched as Yori's ship was torn apart. Luckily his ship had a heavy shield that was at full power. All his cannons began firing back at the coming ships not letting the near the Mountain.

"Sir," A man called. "We have a ship docking."

"How!?" Locks yelled.

"It knew how to get passed are shields." The man replied.

"Send men to go stop the intruders!" Locks yelled. Who could have they knowledge to get past his shields and get onto his ship?

*******************************************

Mason exited his ship with his troops. They fired upon the pawns Locks had sent at them. As two of Locks men charged Mason he pulled his duel pistols and shot the both down.

"Lets keep moving." Mason said.

They began moving from the hanger towards the bridge. Mason tried his best to ready himself. It wont be easy killing his father but he had to do it.

***********************************************

Noah and his own strike team were getting ready to attack the Creator's ship. He had waited so long for this moment. Looking at the picture of himself, Mark, and Mary with their Golems Noah smiled. He missed the old days.

He put the picture in his vest and boarded his shuttle. Soon he would have to fight Mary and he knew that. If only Mark could have talked some sense into her before his death.

"I'm sorry old friend," Noah said out loud. "To save humanity I have to do this. I will reunite you two soon. Also, have some dumplings ready for me when I meet you...in heaven."

With that his shuttle took off toward the enemy ship. A part of Noah wanted Mary to not be there, but he knew she would be. He didn't know how, but was going to kill her, he had to.

*********************************************

Marcus cut down another Golem, but soon more took it's place. He had to get through the enemy lines and get to the Creator.

"Marcus," Angel said. "Are you doing okay?"

"I'm fine," Marcus replied. "We just really need to get past these guys."

"Anyone have any bright ideas?" Flare asked.

"Just keep fighting!" Dominic yelled as he unloaded into the enemy Golems. "The less talk the more kills!"

As they fought through more lines of Golems Marcus felt something was off. He stopped and noticed a bright red light coming from the Creator's Golem. Tic tried to worn Marcus but he was to late. Suddenly a large energy blast shot through Cyclone blowing off it's left upper body and hand. Angel yelled in fear as Marcus' Golem felt to the ground and rolled down the mountain, with half it's insides gone. Including the area where Marcus would sit. Marcus felt pain rush through his body. Even though he knew he shouldn't he closed his eyes to rest he was so, so tired.
