Requiem of Chaos

As the sun began to set and the street lamps began to click on. Pain sneakily leaned against the wall of the small café as Pinkie followed behind him. He raised his hand to stop her and slowly looked around the corner. Nothing was wandering the street for a few seconds and then he saw a lone Death Hunter stalking the street in search of food. Pain looked back as Pinkie and pointed to the window next to her. She seemed to understand and reached into her puffy hair to produce a hair clip. She finagled the clip into the lock on the window until a small click came from the window. Pinkie slowly opened the window and easily climbed into the window even though she carried the large Minigun. Pain waited till she was inside before he too quickly climbed into the café through the window and slowly and quietly shut the window.

“What now?” Pinkie whispered. Pain thought for a moment before he looked around and found a door that led to the back of the café. Pain told Pinkie to wait there as he walked into the back. Once the door closed, a small orange glow came from the bottom of the doorframe. Once the glow disappeared, a pink glow then took its place before it too disappeared. The door opened and instead of Pain, Panic skated out into the café’s foray. One of the long snake arms came from the saucer on Panic’s back. The tip was a drill that spun and pointed upwards. Pinkie cocked her head before Panic rolled towards the stairs as four more snake arms with three long claws slithered out of the saucer and began helping Panic up the stairs. Pinkie just followed Panic until they reached the roof of the café.

“What now?” Pinkie whispered as they stood on the roof. Panic didn’t say a word, but a long snake-like arm came from one of the compartments of the saucer. It's long three appendages wrapped around Pinkie's body before three more snake-like arms slithered from the saucer on Panic’s back. The three arms lifted both Panic and Pinkie before they walked from the cafe rooftop to the root of the building next to it. They did this several more times as they quietly headed towards the museum. The street was now filled with Death Hunters that continued to look for food, but never once looked up to see Panic and Pinkie going from rooftop to rooftop.

They stopped on the rooftop of a grocery store. The long snake-like arms slithered back into the saucer and it quickly detached from Panic’s back and glowed pink. It transformed back into Pain. All three stood on the rooftop and started across at the large object in front of them. Across from them was a large, black knight. It sat on its knees with both its hands clamped on the handle of its sword that had been embedded in the roof. Its head hung low and it seemed there was no living being inside the suit of armor.

Pain, Panic, and Pinkie all stood there for several minutes before Pain hissed, “Switch Panic.” Panic nodded and glowed orange before he changed back into the sword that was wrapped in cloth. Pain grabbed the handle of the sword and waited. After several seconds Pain pointed his sword towards a hatch at the top of the building and ordered, “Climb down and head towards the museum. Meet up with the other, I’ll deal with this.” As if on cue: the suit of armor came to life. It began to stand up as the metal plates clanged against one another. Once it stood straight up, it ripped its large sword from the roof and readied itself.

Before anything could happen, Pinkie quickly ran towards the hatch and pulled it open before she descended down the ladder. When she reached the bottom and set foot on the aluminum floor. The middle of the ceiling exploded and collapsed into the middle of the store. Pinkie covered her eyes as the dust filled the store and she quickly moved the collar of her shirt over her mouth and nose. As the dust began to settle she saw the suit of armor standing in the middle of the cereal aisle with the right holder on its side. She then saw Pain standing in front the suit of armor. The two ran towards one another before colliding in the middle as their swords collided with one another.

The suit of armor quickly swung its right fist towards Pain, but he was able to duck underneath it and was able to hop onto the handle of his sword and kick the helmet off the suit of armor. He had expected to see someone inside, but instead when he landed back on the floor and readied his next attack. He saw nothing but purple miasma swirling where the helmet once was. The helmet had flown off and bounced on the floor with a metal clang before rolling towards Pinkie and stopping in front of her. She picked it up and moved it around in her hands before the miasma suddenly shot from the suit armor and towards the helmet in Pinkie’s hand. Pinkie quickly dropped the helmet and ran from towards the entrance of the store.

The miasma didn’t follow Pinkie; instead, it flooded into the helmet and as it did. The helmet lifted back up and floated towards the suit of armor. Once the helmet was back with the rest of the armor, it charged towards Pain. Pain sidestepped the sword swing and swung his sword towards the armor's helmet. Its right gauntlet grabbed Pain’s sword before it flung Pain towards the entrance.

As Pinkie broke the threshold of the store’s entrance, Pain crashed through the large window making up the front of the store and rolled on the ground. Pinkie quickly ran over to Pain as he slowly started to get up. His right arm was sliced open from rolling in glass and skidding across the asphalt. The sword glowed orange and changed into Panic who stood up and seemed to look forward.

“I see it too,” Pain said as he stood up straight. Pinkie looked towards where they were looking and saw another suit of armor. However, instead of black armor, the suit was made of white armor with silver miasma seeping out the cracks. She watched as the black suit of armor crashed through the glass doors and looked over towards the white suit of armor. She hoped the two would fight one another while her, Pain, and Panic could get away. However, her hopes were shattered when the black suit of armor walked over to the other suit of armor and stood next to it.

“My, my dear sister, look what we’ve caught in our web,” a boy that looked to be the age of ten said as he walked out from behind the white suit of armor. He wore a black T-shirt and black pants with a duffle bag hanging on his right hip.

“Yes dear brother, it seems two flies have wandered too far into our den,” a girl that looked to be the same age said as she walked out from behind the black suit of armor. She wore a simple white dress with a duffle bag hanging from her left hip.

“Get going Pinkie. You don’t want to get caught in the crosshairs of this fight,” Pain stated.

“But they’re only kids,” Pinkie retorted.

“Yes, to you,” Pain said before he explained, “Shadow and Silver.” He pointed to the boy in black first and then the girl in white before he continued, “ Two of the most sadistic murderers from our world and I highly doubt you want to be part of this fight. Just head to the museum, the others should be there shortly.” Pinkie nodded before she raced off towards the museum.

“Why dear sister I think he has got us mistaken for himself and his brother,” Shadow said.

“Yes dear brother, it seems he’s confusing us for their blood-soaked tyrants,” Silver said.

“Ready?” Pain asked Panic who simply nodded. Pain turned back to Shadow and Silver as a twisted smile formed on his face

Rarity quickly ran towards the wall of the building and quickly stood as her back rested against the wall. She quickly took out a pocket mirror and held it out around the corner to see what awaited her in the street. She let out a sigh of relief as she saw nothing but street lamps lighting the sidewalks and road. She quickly walked around the corner and slowly walked down the street towards the museum.

“Why aren’t there any Death Hunters around?” Rarity asked. The small purple spider on her right shoulder simply shrugged. Rarity sighed after a few minutes and stopped. She turned to the spider and asked, “Can you not use me as a taxi?” All of the spider’s eyes rolled and it crawled down her arm. Rarity shivered as she felt the hairy legs of the tarantula that slowly crawled down her arm. The Tarantula jumped from Rarity’s arm to the pavement before it glowed purple and changed back into Viper. She stretched after the glow disappeared before she let out a satisfied sigh.

“So why are there no Death Hunters prowling around?” Rarity asked again.

“I don’t know,” Viper said as she shrugged. Rarity let out a frustrated sigh as she continued to walk down the street. Each dark alleyway they passed, Rarity aimed her Sniper rifle at and waited for something to jump out at her. When nothing did, she moved on. Viper on the other hand just walked casually down the street with her arms behind her head.

“How can you be so calm, a Death Hunter or other abomination could jump out at any moment,” Rarity said.

“Not likely,” Viper said matter-a-factly before she added, “Changing into animals allows me to have a great sense of smell and so far. I haven’t smelled anything that resembles anything from the hive.” Rarity stopped and looked at her in complete shock which turned to frustration

“Really,” Rarity said a little annoyed as she lowered her gun and added, “You could have said that sooner!” Viper stopped and turned to her and simply shrugged again before continuing down the street. Rarity let out another frustrated sigh and quickly caught up to Viper. Why did I get stuck with her? Rarity thought.

Rarity suddenly bumped into Viper’s back and quickly jumped back. She looked at her quizzically, but before she could say a word. Viper lifted her right hand and placed a single finger up to quite Rarity. Rarity watched as Viper quickly sniffed the air like a predator searching for its prey. For several minutes, Viper continued to sniff the air until it seemed her short purple hair started to fizzle like a cat's tail when cornered. She let out a low growl as she hissed, “Run.”

Rarity slowly started to walk backward and when she turned around she stopped. Her eyes widened and she began to slowly walk backward towards Viper. She let out a small squeak as she walked past Viper and simply lifted her hand and pointed towards where they had just come. Viper turned to where Rarity was pointing and saw a large silver spinosaurus standing behind them. Its long arms dangled underneath it as its mouth opened and closed with each breath, exposing its large dagger-like teeth.

“Head towards the museum, meet up with the others there,” Viper ordered before she added, “I’ll deal with this.” Rarity didn’t question her order as she turned around and ran down the street towards the museum. She didn’t stop when she heard a roar followed by another and then the large footsteps that came after that.

Mark and Fluttershy walked down the middle of the street towards the museum. It seemed Mark wasn’t too worried about being seen while Fluttershy stuck close to him, hugging her shotgun close to her body. Fluttershy looked over at Mark and asked, “Are you sure we should be out in the open like this?”

“We’ll be fine,” Mark reassured her before he boasted, “Anything that comes near us I’ll just rip apart. Nothing can harm me.”

“How is that exactly?” Fluttershy asked as she looked over at the ripped part of his hoodies shoulder and remembered seeing one of the Death Hunters piercing into his chest.

“Nanobots,” Mark admitted.

“Nanobots?” Fluttershy asked.

“Yeah, when I was 12 I had an accident that left my heart damaged. The doctors told my parents I might not survive to my 13th birthday. However, there was a very experimental procedure that might have kept me alive. It was called the Steel Heart program. It would replace my damaged heart with one made of flexible titanium, but not only that: the heart would create and house Nanobots that would travel around my body and repair any damaged cell in my body. My parents weighed the outcomes and agreed to put me into the procedure. It was a marvelous success, but because it was still an experimental procedure. There was a downside to this,” Mark explained.

“What was the downside?” Fluttershy asked.

“The Nanobots could repair damaged cells, but would also cause damage. They destroyed my nerves system and because of this. I can’t feel pain, which might seem nice in hindsight. However, when you can’t feel when you need to take a piss, it can cause some very uncomfortable situations. Which is why they tried to fix this issue, but they couldn’t get the Nanobots to fix the damaged nerves. They injected me with more Nanobots to see if they could fix it, but that didn’t work. So instead, they updated them so they could tell my brain that I need to use the toilet,” Mark explained.

“So you can’t feel any pain?” Fluttershy asked.

“Nope,” Mark said flatly before he demonstrated. He took his ring finger on his right hand and bent it all the way back. Until the sound of broken bones came from it and the skin connecting to his palm split open and blood trickled down his hand. He then moved it back and waited. Fluttershy grimaced when she heard the bone break. Mark waited for several minutes before he wiped his bloody hand on his hoody. The blood had stopped and he showed Fluttershy that the ripped skin had healed. He flexed his hand and showed that the bone had been mended before he added, “See, I’m basically indestructible.”

“Care to test that?” a voice asked. Mark and Fluttershy stopped and turned around to see a man standing behind them. He wore a plain white T-shirt that was covered with a lightweight black coat. His hands were covered with gloves that didn’t cover his fingers. His gray pants were stained with what looked like bleach stains and his tan boots had large scars and cuts in them. On top of his short brown hair were Victorian style goggles.

“Get going Fluttershy, I’ll take care of this guy,” Mark said with a smile as he popped a few joints in his knuckles.

“But he might be able to help,” Fluttershy argued.

“Trust me; this guy isn’t here to help us. I’ll explain everything later, just get to the museum. I’ll be along shortly,” Mark said. Fluttershy slowly back away before she stopped and took a deep breath to ready herself for the fight ahead. Mark quickly shot a glared at Fluttershy and yelled, “Go to the museum! NOW!” Fluttershy jumped and quickly sprinted towards the museum. Mark watched before she was out of sight and turned his attention to the man standing before him.

“That girls gonna thank me later for saving her from a psychopath like you,” the man said as he reached for a test tube that was latched to his belt loop. The clear liquid inside the tube suddenly changed to green goop as he touched it. A Chester cat grin formed on Mark’s face.

“I’ll show you what this psychopath is capable of,” Mark retorted.

A Death Hunter fell to the ground with a dagger between its eyes. Zack walked up to the lifeless creature and ripped the dagger from the creature’s skull. Rainbow Dash walked up to Zack and asked, “Why do you get to have all the fun?”

“We’ve been over this: if you fire off your AK. You’ll attract a whole swarm of Death Hunters and I don’t think you want that many Death Hunters on top of us,” Zack explained again. He let out a frustrated sigh as he did it.

“So what am I supposed to do then?” Rainbow asked.

“Just keep a lookout and tell me when you see another Death Hunter. I’ll take care of them,” Zack said before he mumbled, “Why’d I get stuck doing all the damn work?”

“What?” Rainbow asked.

“Never mind, just keep an eye out,” Zack said.

“I’ve been wondering: how are you able to create all sorts of weapons?” Rainbow asked.

“My Liquid Metal allows me to create all sorts of weapons, but I can’t willingly create weapons from my mind. My Liquid Metal has to cover a weapon first to get the dimensions, length, weight, density and other measurements to be able to create it. Firearms are more difficult to create. The dimensions of those aren’t harder to create, but it’s getting them to work properly. Guns usually have inner workings that my Liquid Metal might not be able to create. I’ve found a way around it, but it’s still hard to operate when you have to concentrate on the weapons,” Zack explained. Rainbow nodded before she continued to follow Zack.

The two continued down the street for several more minutes before Zack stopped and raised his hand to make Rainbow do the same. Rainbow stopped and asked, “What?”

“Shut up,” Zack ordered before he closed his eyes.

“Excuse me?!” Rainbow asked, but Zack didn’t respond. He simply stood there with his eyes closed. After a while, he began using his tongue to create a clicking noise. He waited 10 seconds before making another clicking noise. After several minutes he opened his and turned to Rainbow.

“Someone’s coming,” Zack stated.

“How do you know?” Rainbow asked before she added, “all you did was make weird clicking noises.”

“Sonar,” Zack said flatly before he explained, “Remember how my Liquid Metal needed to cover a weapon to be able to create. Well, I can duplicate more than just weapons. A few years ago I was able to get a sonar system and I’ve kept it a part of my brain for several years. Those clicks activate the sonar.”

Rainbow was about to ask how that worked when she heard loud footsteps in front of them. They seemed deliberately loud like whoever was walking towards them wanted them to know they were coming. Rainbow quickly aimed her AK towards the sound of the footsteps before she asked, “A swarm of Death Hunters?”

“No,” Zack simply said before a man walked out from behind a broken down SUV. He seemed much older than Rainbow and Zack. He had a duck dynasty beard with what looked like the remnants his last meal with slick, greasy black hair. He only wore light blue jeans with gray snickers while his upper body was bare and showed off his chiseled body that had several scars.

“Friend of yours?” Rainbow asked. The bearded man let out a scoff before he moved slightly and motioned for Rainbow to run past him.

“Get to the museum,” Zack said before he added, “I’ll handle this guy.”

“Screw that,” Rainbow said before she stood her ground and added, “I’m not going to just run off and leave you. The two of us can take this guy.”

“Please reconsider Mrs.,” the bearded man said before he added, “I do not want the blood of the innocent on my hands.”

“Get to the museum Rainbow,” Zack ordered before he added, “I’ve dealt with this guy before. Don’t worry; I’ll catch up with you later.” Rainbow looked back at Zack before she nodded and ran towards the bearded man. She thought about running past him, turning around, and shooting him in the back. As she ran past the bearded man, her eyes widened as she saw small pillars of emerald diamonds slowly growing from his skin. She quickly looked forward and ran towards the museum without looking back.

“Now then,” the bearded man said before he turned towards Zack. The diamonds continued to slowly grow until it covered his left arm up to his elbow. The diamonds smoothened and then glistened as he flexed his fist and the diamonds scrapped against one another. The diamond seemed to coat his arm like a gauntlet. The bearded man looked from his diamond covered arm to Zack and added, “This time I won’t let you escape. I will get that bounty on your head.”

“Fat chance Christian,” Zack said with a laugh as Liquid Metal seeped from his skin and began to coat his right arm up to his elbow. It then hardened and created a gauntlet. He flexed his hand and listened to the metal scraping against itself.

“We’ll see who's laughing after I kill you, get the bounty from not only your head, but your comrade’s heads as well, and be called a hero,” Christian said. The two stared at one another before they suddenly ran towards each other. The two swung at one another and as Christian’s left fist coated with emeralds collided with Zack’s right fist coated in metal. It created a small shockwave.

Chad slowly creped down the wall of the building before he stopped and looked around the corner before he quickly looked back and ushered Applejack towards him. Applejack quickly ran up to him and asked, “Are we in the clear?”

“No, we’ve gotten past the Death Hunters, but now we have a new obstacle in our way,” Chad admitted before he pointed to whatever was around the corner. Applejack slowly walked past Chad and peeked around the corner. She gasped and quickly retraced back and looked at Chad who simply nodded. Applejack collected herself and once again looked around the corner.

In the middle of the street was not a Death Hunter, but it shared the same pitch black skin like the Death Hunters. However, it was more centipede-like. It had ten sections of its body, each with a sickle-like leg that kept the creature four feet above the ground. At the front of the creature was a long stick figure like body with long thin arms. Each arm had four fingers, each with long claws. At the top was a basketball shaped head with no eyes. Its mouth seemed to open and close with every breath as the bottom half of the jaw seemed to split in two now and again. Every now and again the sickle-like legs tapped on the ground as the head would wobble back and forth.

“Death Stalker,” Chad said as Applejack turned to him. He crept towards the corner and began to explain, “They’re like the security system for the hive, but they’re not the only issue, however,” as if on cue, a screech echoed throughout the still air. Applejack jumped at the sound and looked around for the source. Chad simply ushered her over to him and pointed to the sky. She let out another gasp as she watched the creature in the air circled around and let out another screech. The creature in the sky was a large sphere that looked to be as big as a human head. Four bat-like wings were divided into two on either side of the sphere. In the middle of its sphere body was a vertical mouth filled with needle-like teeth.

“What the hell is that?” Applejack asked.

“The second part of the Security system: Death Seeker,” Chad said before he explained, “The Death Stalker’s use their legs to send out vibrations in the ground to find anything that gets close to it, while the Seeker’s use sonar to find anyone that might get past the Stalkers. The two use each other to protect the hive and find food.”

“So how can we get past them?” Applejack asked.

“Pain said if you take out the Seekers, it will be easier to get past the Stalkers. However, we can take them both down in one fell swoop,” Chad said before he looked up towards the sky. Above Chad and Applejack were two circling birds: a mechanical owl and a mechanical falcon. Chad brought the watch to his mouth and said, “Take out the Seeker first, then the Stalker.” There was no response from the two birds, but the falcon soon flew away from the owl and towards the Death Seeker in the sky. The owl soon flew to the edge of the roof and landed before letting out a “Who” that had a metallic twang to it and sounded like an owl’s call being played through speakers.

The falcon soared through the air high above the Death Seeker. The falcon suddenly closed its wings and dive bombed towards the Seeker. It re-opened its wings, but never flapped them. Instead, it continued to soar towards the Seeker. It passed by the Seeker and after it did. The Seeker’s wings suddenly stopped and suddenly its body split in half. The two halves fell to the ground as the falcon righted itself and flew towards the Death Stalker. It passed by the Stalker around its neck and for a moment the Stalker didn’t seem to notice. Then, its head fell from its thin neck and its body began to scuttle around for several seconds before it fell limp on the ground.

The falcon then flew towards Chad and Applejack. It flapped for several seconds before it landed on the ground in front of them. Applejack was in shock and could only utter one word, “How?”

“Easy,” Chad said before the Falcon outstretched its wings to show that the tops of its metal wings were sharpened like blades. Chad pointed to the falcon’s wings and said, “Its wings are as sharp as blades and can cut through most anything. It’s an easy way to kill some of the hive without being seen.”

“Where did you get these?” Applejack asked.

“I built them myself,” Chad said before he added, “Let’s get going before the smell of their blood attracts some of the other hive.” Applejack nodded before they quickly ran down the street. The mechanical owl flew ahead of them scanning the streets. After half a mile it began to hoot and fly and a circle.

Chad quickly stopped and raised his hand to stop Applejack. He waited to see why the owl was acting up. Applejack looked at the owl in the sky before she asked, “What’s wrong?”

“It senses danger ahead, that’s why it’s circling and crying out,” Chad said before he added, “It seems it’s not part of the hive. Otherwise, it would simply attack it. Something else is around.”

Applejack waited for several seconds before she started to hear humming coming from behind a van that was on its side. After several seconds, a little girl the age of twelve skipped out from behind the van like she was playing hopscotch. She stopped on her right foot and waved her hands as she tried to keep from falling. She placed her left foot down and looked over towards Applejack and Chad. She smiled warmly and waved to them which sent a shiver down Applejack’s spine.

“Leave this one to me AJ,” Chad said.

“But she’s just a child,” Applejack argued.

“Looks can be deceiving,” Chad said before he added, “She’s part of The Reapers.”

“Reapers?” Applejack asked.

“A group of Guardians that defected from the government because they felt the hive should be the dominate species. They felt that humanity should subject themselves to the hive mind and give in to it. Many of the Guardians died because the hive saw them as threats, but those who showed their loyalty seemed to be accepted by the queen and protect it from destruction. They call themselves The Reapers,” Chad explained before he added, “I don’t want you to get in the crosshairs of this battle. Get to the museum and try to stay out of the hives sight. I’ll catch up later.”

Applejack nodded before she took the street to the left of them and quickly ran towards the museum while the little girl watched her. It seemed she was more interested in Chad then following Applejack.

“Please don’t tell lies,” the little girl said. Chad looked from where Applejack was to the little girl and a smile formed on his face.

“Are you mad Alice?” Chad said before he added, “You don’t like being called a Reaper?”

“We are not The Reapers Chad, we are the Guardians,” Alice said before she pointed to Chad and added, “You government dogs are the Reapers. It’s what the batshit insane government calls you after all.” The air ripped next to Alice like a stone was thrown in a pond before a large bear walked out of the ripple. It seemed the bear was a combination of a brown bear and porcupine as the spines on its back seemed to rattle as it stared at Chad.

The watch on Chad’s wrist glowed and green strands of ones and zeros flowed out of the clock face. It swirled around before it collected in front of Chad and glowed bright green. When the light dimmed, the mechanical tiger stood in front of Chad and roared to let its presence be known.

“I won’t allow the government to invade innocent worlds because it refuses to try and fix its own mistake,” Alice said.

Twilight and Rex made it to the museum without ever seen a Death Hunter or other creature of the hive. Twilight gawked at the size of the museum before she frantically looked around before she said, “I don’t see any creatures of the hive.”

“Yeah, it should be swarming with creatures of the hive. I wonder where the Watchers, Seekers, or Stalkers are.” Rex questioned as he looked around. Twilight slowly walked closer to the museum trying to see if she could see any signs of the hive. Rex looked around and when he saw there was no one around. He turned to where Twilight was slowly advancing towards the museum. Small sparks of lightning slowly sparked around his right hand as he thought, take out your partner before getting to the museum.

Before he could act a voice screamed, “Twilight!” behind him. The lightning quickly disappeared as he turned around to see Pinkie run up to them. When she reached them, she bent over to catch her breath while wheezing, “Pain. Panic. Fighting. Armor.”

“Whoa there Pinkie, take a breath and catch your breath,” Twilight said. After a few seconds, Pinkie finally caught her breath and began to explain.

“Pain and Panic are under attack by two kids with living suits of armor,” Pinkie blurted out.

“Wait, what!?” Rex said, but before he could ask any more questions. Rarity ran up to them and frantically began telling them about her experience.

“Oh, my gosh, Viper and I were attacked by a dinosaur. A damn dinosaur!” Rarity stated. After that Fluttershy, Rainbow, and Applejack all meet them in front of the museum with stories of how their companions were being attacked.

“Shit, so the Reapers are here,” Rex cursed before he looked towards the museum and added, “We need to get into the building and kill the queen. After that, we can deal with The Reapers.” The group nodded and with Rex leading. They ran towards the museum. However, Rex skidded to a stop as two people walked out from behind pillars standing outside the museum’s entrance.

“More!” Rainbow said before she aimed her AK at the two men. One of them men had bright orange hair and was wearing a black cloak without a hood, but with its collar up and covering the bottom half of his face. The other man wore a suit of crystal blue armor with white mist seeping from the armor itself. His face was covered in a half gas mask with dual cartridge respirators and with every exhale, white mist spilled out of the sides. He had his blue hair in dreadlocks and his eyes were as black as doll's eyes.

“Damn it,” Rex said before he turned to the group and said, “Find another way in. I’ll handle these Reapers.”

“What! And leave you here against these two?” Twilight argued.

“I’ve faced worse, besides. You’ll be helping me by keeping the hive inside rather than coming out and causing more chaos,” Rex said with a smile. Twilight stood there for several seconds before she nodded and lead her group of friends to the side of the museum. Once the group was out of sight he let out a frustrated sigh and turned to the two standing in front of him and said, “Great, I’m the one that gets the Dragoon Twins.”

“Are you ready Frost?” the man in the cloak asked the man in the crystal blue suit of armor. Frost simply nodded before the man in the cloak looked back at Rex and said, “It’s been a while, hasn’t it?”

“Yeah Pyro, it has,” Rex said as lightning began to swirl around his body.
