Chapter 12

The boy remembered that his first battle in war was one that never officially existed. Kill Joy and the boy were just a mere month from their seventeenth birthdays. (They were born only three days apart).

The two soldiers saluted the fifteen star general and Hagotti stood to his feet with a salute.

The general spoke,”Sit down boys, I have something to tell you two.”

The boys did as they were told.

Hagotti spoke,”I know that I had made you two a promise to never send you to war before your

seventeenth birthdays. Today, I have to break that promise to you, unfortunately.”

The boy spoke,”What do you need of us, sir? Excuse me, if I am too bold for your tastes.”

The general stood up to his feet and faced the wall away from the two lads, with his hands clasped behind his back. The boy knew that Hagotti was both troubled and embarrassed by something unknown to them, at this present moment in time.

Hagotti spoke,”I have four AWOL soldiers that I need you to convince them to return back to base. Four separate search teams had tried and failed to capture them. They are know as the big four as told by the completely down trodden search team members.”

Kill joy spoke,”Why not send out the elites to get them?”

The general shook his head in disapproval.

Hagotti spoke,”If it was that easy. My superiors want me to get the most of all the drafting lately and these four are to be treated no different.”

The two lads were taken back by the general’s comments.

Hagotti spoke,”These men were taken through dubious means under my authority. It was no surprise that would rebel, even during boot camp. I do not blame them for this, but they need to be taken back in the fold, or I will be forced to kill them.”

Hagotti spoke,”Be careful with these four since they are extremely dangerous. They have a

expert sharpshooter named one eyed Bob. Here is his profile picture, which shows his eye patch and his short statue. He is five foot tall and over two hundred pounds. He has the appearance of a bearded dwarf to go along his excellent sniping skills.

The next member is a man named three legged Billy and his extra limb allows him to reach supersonic speed. He primary uses assault rifles and his many limbs. Do not blink around him or you are dead.

The second command of the group, known only as shifty Pete and is over teen foot tall at four hundred and thirty pounds. He is the brains of the group and the best assassin of the four. He can bend his joints like a snake, due to his hyper mobile joints.

The leader of the group is known to us as Mr Big.”

The boy cut off him off and said,”The supreme champion of five sports, Mr Big? The one who has a thirty thousand wrestling match, four thousand mma fight, five hundred strength sport meet winning streak!?!”

Hagotti spoke,”Yes it is the real deal Mr big. I need not tell you to avoid fighting the big four all at one time. Fight them only two on one otherwise return back to base safely. You may have to kill them if necessary, but do try to just demobilize them if you can.”

The boy and his comrade Kill Joy were being sent by an aircraft carrier to the location of the big four, when they were shot out of the sky by missile launcher.

Everyone had to jump out for safety with their light metal based parachutes.

The boy spoke over the intercom,” Kill Joy, are you alright?”

Kill Joy spoke,”Yeah I am okay, but receiving any help from the others is impossible at this point.”

The boy smirked under his helmet as he said,”I would not have any other way! That was the

mission we were given in the first place!”

Kill Joy spoke,”Always the type A personality!”

The boy spoke,”I have got no other choice but to be so, since we are in war.”

The two warriors started to triangulate the location of the attacker,

Kill Joy spoke,”It had to been Bob that took out our aircraft carrier “

The boy spoke,”He is the best sniper of the four AWOL soldiers. We got to separate now or we will be dead meat! He is slow nature in his movements. That is our only advantage for fighting him at such a long range.”

#

It had not been very long after they separated, when the duo was fired upon by one eyed Bob. It was do or die time for the two boys!

Kill joy spoke,”well, this is fun. He is extremely quick sniper. He is missing only by a hair’s

breath. It is like he is just toying with us, one eye or not!”

The boy spoke,”But there is significant time between switching targets. We have got to use that

to our benefit. Just try to dodge attacks, until we figure out where he is situated at.”

Kill joy spoke,”Oh that is so easy for Mr. supersonic speed over here, but some of us move at only subsonic speed.”

The medic was all pins and needles in the conflict as he should be for his first battle. Everybody

was frightened during war, unless they were a liar or a complete moron.

Fear made a person strong in terrible times many times over, throughout the eons of time. A cornered animal was the most dangerous animal that you could have possibly face. The boy regretted having to oppress his fellow man. But he had no other choice than to do so. He was still that loving boy

that his gentle parents, raised all those many years ago.

Hagotti had hope that the big four could be stopped without violence, but that boat had sailed all

too long ago.

The boy prayed,”Help me, Lord to stop these four men without killing them! Two of them are my brothers in You! All four men had been through hell and back. That much I know from their case

files! They are not bad people at heart, just confused is all.”

The boy immediately saw where Bob was sniping from.

It was an old clock tower!

The boy spoke,”Joy I have found him! I want you to keep his attention while I get him from behind. That is our only hope!”

Kill Joy spoke,”Oh boy! I can do it! I will use flash bangs and all over kinds of weirdness to get him off your trail. Just wait and believe!”

The medic kept firing at Bob with endless abandon which took his undivided attention away from the boy. Bob never gave joy the opportunity to see his body out in the open. It was like Bob was a

shadow to the combat medic.

Joy was running his chunky little head trying to kept the one eyed sniper guessing. He only stopped to catch his breath or recharge his laser rifle.

#

Bob could not see that the boy was entering the first of the old clock tower. As soon his foot hit the floor a trip wire was triggered.

The first floor blew up just leaving only support beams.

The boy spoke,”Joy do not enter the tower on the inside, it is set to blow!”

Joy spoke,”I can see that! You will have to climb the tower prince of Rindat style. Have fun with that!”

The medic was in front of the old clock tower.

#

The boy was half way up the tower when he realized that he was being shot at.

The lad yelled,”Get your fat butt up the front of the tower and try to distract him!”

The medic did not have time to argue, as he started to grudgingly climb the tower.

Bob stopped firing on the boy’s side and went up to the front to fire at joy.

The saw that the firing shifted from him to joy, and raced to almost the top of the tower.

Bob raced to shoot at the boy, which caused the boy fall back down the tower almost half way.

Joy was halfway up the tower when his hand was shot and he fell down towards the ground.

His feet got caught in window before he hit the ground.

#

By the time, Bob returned the boy was on top of the flat topped tower!

The boy shot the sniper in his shoulder, which caused him to almost fall off the tower.

He punched the AWOL dwarf in the jaw and knocked him out.

The boy was prepare to strike again when he saw somebody coming up.

“Joy, you finally showed up! Let’s tie up Bob, so that we could go to the next target We have still have three of the big four to beat.”

The medic was unable to talk as he knew that it was just the beginning. But that he had to climb back down the tower.

#

The next target was at a race track.

Kill Joy spoke,”Three legged Billy must be here!”

The two warriors were shot repeatably, as they ran over cover.

Luckily, the wounds were pretty much superficial, so the boys would live for now.

The boy yelled,”The boy is going faster than mach one! He maybe faster than me?”

Billy was just a blur to the two men.

The boy spoke,”He is going mach 1 with ease!”

Joy spoke,”That is insane!”

The former farmer spoke while he raced,”I am not backing down so you can tell your boss that I am not going! I had enough with government trying to rule over my life! They try to take my farm and now my life! No way I will allow to happen again!”

The hickness was just oozing out of Billy's pours.

The boy spoke,”Then let us get it on then, since the formalities are now over!”

The pair were both moving at mach 1 now with sheer ease that made the heavy yoked medic a little jealous. But the medic knew that he had help to beat this speedster or they will probably

die.

The speedster was taken surprised by the duo’s velocity and allow himself to taken by surprise.

Two of billy's legs were shot in the ankles, while he was off guard.

Billy had been demobilized as Joy and the boy both knocked him out with the butts of their assault rifles.

Two down and two to go.

#

The boy and Joy were both in an abandoned bunker that had not been used in over one hundred years. Pete was a natural stealth assassin and darkness was his chosen element. The two warriors were aware of this fact but they were still in the dark. No pun intended.

Pete could come anywhere and everywhere at the same time. The duo were using their night vision googles that came standard issue with the duo’s power suits.

The suits were multiplying their power ten fold.

A high pitched laugh emitted from the bunker.

“I am shifty Pete and I will be not easy as Bob and Billy. I am the brains of this outfit!”

Kill joy and the boy were on guard, waiting for Pete to strike.

Pete spoke,”You will pay for what you did to my friends. I am going to take my time with you two!”

long knives were thrown at the heroes’ heads at lightning speed.

Joy jumped one way and the boy another. But it was for naught.

They dodged the knives but they both got kicked in the heads for their trouble. Pete was extremely flexible to the point of absurdity.

The boys were getting beat like they owed Pete money.

The Boy thought,”Lord, help us!”

A voice spoke,”Sing amazing grace!”

The boy spoke,”Joy sing with me with the outside speakers!”

The medic spoke,”What, have you gone mad?”

They were losing badly so Joy followed along.

#

Pete’s blows were getting less and less accurate.

The two warriors were standing to get the upper hand.

Pete spoke,”Bring it on! I can take it!”

Pete wrapped his legs around Joy’s neck like he was snake. The medic was in trouble but he managed some how to keep an arm between his neck and his Pete’s legs

Pete was at a disadvantage, yet he had a firm grip on the boy and Joy.

Pete laughed,”How do you two like my torture? Does it make you feel good inside?”

The boy replied,”Take this on for size!”

A large energy grenade was placed into the open mouth of the AWOL soldier. The boy held the large jaw of Pete, until it went off inside his mouth.

Pete was still alive but he been knocked out by the blast along with all of his teeth.

Smoke was still rushing out of Pete’s mouth and nose for several minutes after the assault. Pete after fifteen minutes after the blast, finally let go of his grip, and remained silent on the ground.

Joy and the boy finally left for the last target: Mr Big!

#

The duo walked into a large arena that had to seat at the very least thirty to forty thousand people at it’s peak many decades ago. A large wrestling ring that was set up was forty by forty feet

wide and covered by all four sides by a rusty cage with an open top.

The Boy spoke,”Be careful, we are in his turf! He has his special super sized ring with him! It is

designed for giants like him and is extremely harder than all over kinds of rings! It is a cage match, his specialty match that he is the best at, yet along with the harden ring! He does not have to hold back like he does in other rings!”

Kill Joy spoke,”What help you are! I never watch combat sports before I met you, because my

upper class family thought it was just for the lower classed people.”

The two warriors rushed down the walkway to the ring, before Big could jump them before

they entered the cage.

The cage door was already locked with a heavy chain and padlock, so the pair had to climb the forty foot tall cage.

Mr Big made his way down the opposing walkway that the two heroes had walked down. He was wearing old school masked wrestling outfit that he had worn early in his wrestling career.

The lads climbed to the top of the cage and fired endlessly at the former champion.

The smoke cleared and Big was completely unharmed, despite his torn up outfit. His torso was exposed, revealing the black warrior’s scars that he had earned through years of combat. The sight scared the duo.

The combat medic was in complete fear of the incoming foe.

Mr Big jumped flatfooted to the top of the cage and jumped down to the mat below.

The boys expected the ring to shake, when he landed but it did not budge an inch!

Big spoke,”The military sent two runts to stop me! I am flabbergasted! What a joke this is!”

The boy and Kill Joy hit at the waist of Big, like toddlers hitting on a grown man.

Big smacked his chest repeatably, in an attempt to mock the lads.

Mr Big picked up the two heroes and placed them on top of each other.

The boy screamed out,”Gorilla press!”

The two warriors were through one side of the metal mesh of the cage and landed ten rows back

from the cage!

Mr Big started to bellow out his trademark laugh, that shook the boy and Kill Joy to their very soul.

The boy spoke,”My classmates in school always told me that wrestling was fake, but they would not be saying that if they were in my place! They would see how real it really is!”

The two boys return to their feet, raced back to the cage, and climb back in it.

Big spoke,”You are better than I thought you was, but it will still end the same way as all the

many others before you!”

Big raced towards the duo as fast or maybe even faster than Billy had moved in their fight. The wrestler grabbed the duo by the neck and performed a noggin knocker on them.

The boys were still stunned by the blow as they were thrown one hundred feet into air.

Big sucker punched them through a metal beam of the cage, as the whole cage falls apart into broken shards of metal. The boys are knocked farther than they were thrown the first time.

The boy spits up blood as he checked on the knocked out medic.

Joy would live for now!

The boy knew that he had to get back in the ring, before Big had came harder at them. The

wrestling champion hated opponents that wasted time on the outside of the ring. He came at them twice as hard as before, when they would do that to him.

The boy crawled back into the ring and grasped the foot of Big.

Mr Big was completely taken back by the young man’s courage to the point that his bottom lip was quivering uncontrollably.

Big was standing before the fallen boy when he started to grab up the lad into some sort of hold, when Big dropped the boy back to the mat.

Big looked surprised as if had saw a ghost.

“What are you doing here, Coach J? You vanished shortly before I was enlisted!””

The person was as big as Big and wearing a tee shirt with pants, shoes and suspenders. He also had a long black and white beard along with a shaved head.

Coach J spoke,”I am here to tell you that the boy, before you is what we have been seeking for thousands of years!”

Big corrected,”He can’t be one of us! He has none of the signs of our kind!”

The old man smiled.

“He is the first of a new breed and he has his current appearance to hide him from those that wish to destroy him. He will be what we can’t be! He can’t become an emperor as my other successor can hope to be, but he can become a warlord among our tribe.”

Big spoke,”So you want me to protect him, when the opportunity arises?”

Coach J spoke,”That is correct! I had brought your other comrades here after I had healed them completely. They are sleeping in chairs in the first row. I had called the Uranos in and they will be here within minutes.”

Big spoke,”I had been trained by you the last ten years and you taught me all I know when it

comes to being a champion. So I owe you a lot and I will obey your request this day! You need not

worry anymore.”

Big fell to the mat on his butt and sat with his legs crossed awaiting for his recapture by the Urano military.

Coach J vanished into thin air, like he was never there.
