Elites Chapter III: New Empire Rising

XX

Rwenzori Mountains, Uganda

In the mountainous plains, one truck was slowly navigating the narrow path to leveled ground. There were three men in the truck, and one person in chains in the back. "Go check on the prisoner." Said one of the guards. The one in the center got up from his seat and went into the back. He stood directly in front of the prisoner, who was bruised and bloody. "Nobody's coming. Your body is now property of the android Kaiser." The prisoner replied angrily "Do you really think these chains can hold me? I've broken out of cages before, this one will be no different." The guard responded "Yes but this time you have no powers. We made sure of that before we even chained you up Mr. Johnson. You're not going anywhere."

Unbeknownst to the Endgame operatives, Sapphire was following behind on his glider. After many hours of silence, he finally turned his intercom back on, and said "I've found Redman. It's only one truck. I'm going in." "Be careful." Amber replied in his earpiece. "We can't afford to lose anyone else to these attacks." In an instant, Sapphire lowered himself until he was only forty feet above the truck. He converted his left arm into a cannon, and aimed it at the truck. In an instant, the truck swerved out of control and came to a stop. Two of the guards stepped out of the truck with guns loaded, while the other tried to start it up again, to little avail. "We must've been hit with an EMP. Secure the prisoner." The driver said. As one guard walked around to the back, he noticed the jet black glider on the side of the mountain. Before he could signal for help, he was frozen in ice. Another guard quickly rushed around and saw Sapphire. He fired a few rounds before getting knocked backwards, and was kicked into the side of the truck. As he fell to the ground, it left a dent on the side.

The last guard quickly grabbed a pair of gauntlets, and got out of the truck through the front doors. Around the back, Sapphire fired a couple of bolts through the lock and opened the back doors. "Time to go Redman." Before he could climb inside to free Redman, Sapphire was hit in the jaw with extreme force. He flew into the side of the mountain, where he lay. "Like I said." The guard said smugly. "You're not going anywhere." Zach quickly got up and threw few punches at the guard. The operative dodged many of his blows, and punched back with greater force because of the gauntlets. "I'm not gonna get out of this guys." Sapphire said over the intercoms again. "Stay where you are, I'll come get you!" Amber responded frantically. Zach quickly replied "No! Don't come for me, it's exactly what they want you to do. This is all an elaborate trap, they need us to go after the others because they want to take us too. Don't follow me!" Zach took the tracking chip off his mask, and crushed it only seconds before getting knocked down by the remaining operative. "We got him. We're bringing both back now." The operative said, as he helped the injured guard back on his feet.
