We were now making our way deeper into the factory. Velro and the rest of the officers stayed close to me. "Do you know where exactly to go?" Velro asked me. "Yes it's a little farther up" I answered. Suddenly we reached the end of the factory. It was a dead end except for the fact there was a wooden hatch on the ground. "The weapon is under us, and about 10 guards from what I sense" I said. Velro nodded "let's go" he said as he bent over and pulled the hatch open. There were a set of stairs that lead deeper under ground.
I lead the way down the steps with the rest following behind me. I heard the shuffling of foot steps down the stair case. "Hurry get all the documents, their coming!" Someone yelled. "How'd they even get this far, I thought we sent our latest experiment out there to take care of them?" Another yelled. When I finally made it to the end of the stair case I seen that it had lead into a room. There were tables scattered all over the place and 10 men wearing dark tattered clothing rushing around with papers in their hands.
There was a large human shaped pod at the end of the room where the powerful energy was coming from. "Awe man the guardian is here!" One guy yelled. Velro stepped forward "surrender now and we will let you live!" He ordered them. The group hesitated and stood there unknowing what to do. CLAP! CLAP! CLAP! CLAP! We all turned to see a man who had his back turned to us clapping his hands together. "Awww look at Toby, all grown up" he said in a familiar voice. I couldn't sense his mana at all, something about him seemed familiar and that scared me.
"Sir turn around and face us!" One of Velros officers yelled at him. There was a pause, then the man started to turn his head towards slowly. The moment I seen his wicked smile I knew who I was dealing with. I grabbed my sword summoning the yellow armour over my body and cape. I leaped at the man so fast no one had time to react to my movements. I tackled the man to the wall and turned him around. "Carnage! Tell me where Cindy is!" I screamed. Carnage laughed.
"Careful Toby you might actually hurt me" he joked. I lifted my fist and punched him right in the mouth. The back of his head hit the wall causing it to break and he flew right through it. He landed on his back in a dark room. I stepped in through the hole as Carnage got up to his feet wiping his mouth. "Dang, that would've hurt a lot if I could feel pain" he said. I reached out to grab at his neck but he grabbed my arm and pulled me in. He then punched me in the mouth sending me to the ground flat on my back.
"Ouch you're going to pay for that" I threatened as I got up. Carnage just smiled "if I knew you charged money for punches I'd never of hit you, you're such a bad salesmen" he joked. I swung my sword at his head but he ducked and dodged it. "Nope not again" he said as he punched my stomach. I doubled over and he kneed me in the nose. I fell back on my butt dropping my sword and holding my bleeding nose. Carnage looked down at my weapon "ohhhh shiny!" He yelled grabbing the swords hilt.
He tried to lift it but the sword stayed on the floor. Carnage strained to pick it up "how much does this thing weigh a ton?!" He said sarcastically. I jumped up and spartan kicked him in the face send him flying towards the end of the room. I then put my hand out and the sword flew back into my grasp. Carnage scrambled back up to his feet and rushed at me. I focused on ice and shot a blast of ice at him through my free hand. Instead of dodging the blast Carnage reached out, grabbed it and threw it back at me.
The ice hit my feet freezing my legs in place. "What the he-" I was cut of as Carnage leaped up and spartan kicked me in the face. He kicked me so hard that the ice broke and I flew back onto the ground. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Carnage laughed. "It's been fun Toby but my work here is done, I've done the authors bidding for now so now all I have to do is wait till he adds me back to the story again" Carnage said as he ran out. I rushed to my feet racing after him.
"GET BACK HERE!" I yelled, Carnage ran past Velro and his crew before they could react. I tried to go after him but Velro stepped in my way stopping me. "Toby we can't" he said "and why not?" I asked furiously. "We got bigger problems to deal with" he said pointing at the pod. I turned to see that the guards that were in here before were now all dead, Velro and the crew must've took care of them while I was busy with Carnage. I sighed and put the balancer back in its scabbared.
The armour on my body then vanished along with the cape. "You're right we got bigger things to take care of" I said as I approached the pod. The pod had no windows on it and had a key pad on it with numbers. "Looks like it needs a code" Velro said as he came up from behind me. I put my finger towards the key pad and shot a small trickle of electricity at it. BEEP! The pod then started to open up slowly with steam coming from the inside. "Whoa how'd you open it?" Velro asked, "cuz I'm a boss" I answred.
The pod then opened fully and when the steam fully cleared we finally had our first look at the weapon. Me and Velro looked at each other confused. "Are you sure this is a weapon?" Velro asked. "Yes, there's no denying the amount of energy I feel" I answred. We then looked back at the weapon which wasn't a weapon at all, it was a girl.
