4014 Batworld
Chapter 14 Daniel Boone vs. The Black Skull General
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!!" Agent 4014 shouted at Defender, who only sighed, and shook his head.
"I'm afraid not....the metal Baseball bat you used was in contact with the SCP for far too long....thankfully the two of you used the cleaning station when we picked you up to stop whatever the artifact could do to you both. Your baseball bat on the other hand....was not so lucky. Site Director Otus had to order the baseball bat, and it's chip inside it to be impounded, immediately" Defender explained, as Agent 4014 looked down at the wristpad which had no signal on it.
"Great....without my main melee weapon to help me in battle.....I'm going to be an open target.....do you have an idea's to fix this?" Agent 4014 asked, as Defender nodded.
"Doctor Plague say's he's constructing a weapon to use for the job, and know's of a certain shop to prepare you soon....for now...you, and Essy need to stay here...inside the Foundation. The two of you will be in a temporary set of quarters until thing's are sort out....luckily there will be 2 individual's who will take your place" Defender explained, as both Agent's gave him a suprised look, as they spoke.
"Who?" Essy, and Will asked, as they heard the familiar office door open, as Daniel Boone entered the room itself with a sigh.
"You sure really stepped into a lot of shit today Will.....I'm surprised that you would break a bat on your first SCP hunt" Daniel Boone explained, as Essy rolled her eye's.
"Listen cowboy....that was a very dangerous SCP, and if it weren't for my order's to sit on my ass....I think I could take care of an SCP all by myself" Essy growled, as Daniel let out a sigh.
"For Will's marefriend you sure get fired up pretty easily.....but that doesn't matter. Defender.....what do you suggest my new mission is....Shadow is waiting for me outside" Daniel explained, as Defender explained the mission.
"There is an old warehouse of the LQS that had reported some major Spade Agency activity.....we are sending you on this mission for you to find out what's going on. Someone could be planning to attack it.....so be on guard" Defender explained, as Daniel nodded. He excited the SCP Foundation, finding the beautiful pony he had taken care off, as she got up to depart with him. Shadow could tell that something was on his mind, as she walked with him, as the two went to a mini teleporter they had for a while, to get to every place they went. Daniel Boone himself had mostly been thinking some recent thought's.
The two had teleported a few blocks from the warehouse, as Daniel Boone had rented it for the day. He made sure that the LQS paid him at all time's to provide for him, and Shadow. Daniel was a mysterious bat pony who only expressed, or told of who he was to his partner Shadow. "Hey Daniel....I'm going to take a bath real quick.....I smell like street" She half joked, as Daniel just turned to her before speaking.
"Be battle ready....I'll make sure I keep an eye out, in case we have attracted trouble" He told her, as Shadow gave him a nod before entering the shower. Daniel sat there thinking of a memory from a long time ago.
50 Year's Ago....The Great Changeling War
Battle of Brickhead.
Daniel Boone had lined up with the other soldier's on his other end. He only needed a pistol, due to being the best shot in the entire company. His old friend, and him pinned themselves at the barricade, as Changeling gunfire, and plasma fire, lit the place up. "Man those bug's really are trying to hold back the capital defense, no wonder there Queen has yet to get back-up" His old friend Felix snarled, as he smiled.
"Keep it together Felix....we need to find an opening fast" Daniel told his old partner, who gripped the MP5 in his hand's.
"Sound's about right....how do you suppose we take that sandy valley dead ahead....it is our only gate to set up a defense in the valley" Felix, asked as the male drill seargent spoke up.
"HOW DID THEY KNOW WE WERE COMING.....FELIX, DANIEL.....FLANK AROUND THE BACK AREA, AND MAKE SURE YOU EXPOSE THE TWO SIDE'S.....THEN WE'LL BOX THEM IN!!!!!!!" The Seargent shouted to them, as the two stallion's saluted before quickly sprinting to each side. Daniel Boone, pulled out a gun, as he used his quick eye, and quick thinking use a single ricochet bullet to wound all the changeling's with a single shot before shooting them all where their brain's would be, killing the Changeling's easily. Felix on the other side was using a sliding tactic, and the rapid fire from his MP5 to take out the black changeling's.
He even picked up, and used some of the Plasma weaponry, as he used that firepower to help push forward. Daniel Boone then fired a revolver quickly, as he spotted a sniper a few mile's off, as the pistol bullet shot the changeling in the head, and made him fall from his viewpoint. This helped them pin the enemy down, as many of the Changeling's were shot to death. The Drill Seargent, managed to stay unscathed, as the other's had a few scratches on them. Daniel felt something was off. There should have been more Changeling armies, trying to secure this point, where were the other Changeling's?
The other battalion's had pushed through, as they had secured much of the operating bases ahead. Why did the squad bot move up....why were they taking it so slow....something just wasn't right, and Daniel knew it. He made sure to help them push forward. The Seargent himself, asked for a soldier to meet up with him at a private area nearby to scout ahead. Daniel Boone, and Felix waited a few minutes before they moved forward to ask their battle leader what the game plan was....only to see him shoot one of their men in the back. Daniel was the first to react, shooting the Seargent in the head, as he collapsed to the ground dead.
It was revealed that their Drill Seargent was a Changeling that had infiltrated their rank's. He managed to grab something from his battle leader's pocket, and notice that many other battalion's like them had traitor's. "We've been betrayed.....Daniel....what do we do? They have everything set up, and planned perfectly....how do we take the border of the Badland's to get to the Changeling hive?" Felix asked, on the verge of shock, and panic. Daniel began thinking his thought's through, until he came up with a solution.
"Call the Wonderbolt Air Force. We need a Jupiter Strike to finish off the Changeling's" Daniel Boone explained, as all the stallion's, and mares were in shock.
"A JUPITER STRIKE....BUT THAT'S A MAGICAL BLAST FROM THE PRINCESS OF FRIENDSHIP.....PLUS, WE MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO ESCAPE SUCH POWERFUL WEAPONRY!!!!!!!!" Felix shouted, as Daniel Boone sighed.
"We've fought every battle, and the Changeling's aren't making this easy, plus I can see from far off that they've got Squad Walker's on their way" Daniel explained. A Jupiter Strike was a Magic Nuclear Bomb made from the power of the Element's of Harmony. Squad Walker's had four Changeling Gunner's who were driving, and firing a railgun turret. Felix turned to a radio man, as he spoke to the stallion.
"Call in the Chinook's....were booking this place" Felix ordered, as they called in the evac. They sat, and camped at the evac site as they managed to help gun down any Changeling's that were trying to press the attack at them. Finally the Chinook's began to approach until a huge plasma rocket took out one of the chopper's.
"SHIT, SHIT, SHIT, SHIITTT. PLASMA LAUNCHER'S.....EVERYPONY GIVE THE CHOPPER'S COVERING FIRE!!!!!!!!!" Felix shouted, as they began opening fire, as Daniel fired many bullet's to saving more chopper's going down from the Changeling's with Plasma rocket launcher's. They were lucky, as with all the fire around them....they managed to get in the Chinook, as the Jupiter Strike was almost completely charged up. Everyone started getting ready to battle there enemies, as Felix, and Daniel got into the helicopter. The Chinook was beginning to fly over, as the loading door was still open.
A huge Plasma Rocket launcher, shook the Chinook around, until it finally got back on track. Daniel panted as the place rocked him. He turned around to see that Felix....wasn't there. "Felix.......FELIX!!!!!!!!!" Daniel shouted, as he watched the magical energy of a Jupiter Strike approach, as his chopper had gotten away as a few tear's ran down his face. "Goodbye.....old friend" Daniel said to himself.....seeing the battle where his old friend who had stuck with him....was now deceased.
*****
Daniel Boone remembered that mission all to well, and the sad part was that Felix's body wasn't found. He wiped the tear from his eye, as he didn't hear the door open before turning to see Shadow emerge in just a towel. Daniel Boone was a bit suprised, seeing how much Shadow had grown. When he first rescued the mare who had an accelerating growth rate she was a small filly, now she become a full adult. When he fed her, she was super adorable, and cute....the mare in front of him who had fully grown up, despite only two year's passing.
Shadow had the best pair of D-Cup breast's as she gave him a unique stare, doing her best to hide a blush. "W-Why are you staring at me like that?" Shadow asked, as Daniel shook his head, while also hiding a blush of his own.
"S-Sorry....it's just that in our time that I've worked with you....I've never seen you as the beautiful mare you are until today" He stammered. Shadow was having trouble trying not to blush, as she silently came closer, and sat down next to him, her heart beating out of her chest. H-He....He's finally noticed....he really is starting to like me Shadow thought to herself. Ever since she had grown up, Shadow had been recently developing feeling's for Daniel Boone, and do to him being the serious one almost all the time....he didn't really return the feeling's. Shadow liked seeing him open up, and it warmed her heart.
Shadow smiled, as she crawled toward Daniel Boone, and bravely kissed him on the lip's. Daniel Boone's world froze for a minute, as he had felt something in his life he had never experienced. The warmth of a mare's lip's.....and it just so happen to belong to his partner who almost alway's came with him all the time. Shadow enjoyed every minute of that kiss....his lip's being dreamy, and beautiful, as she had always wanted. After the two seperated, Daniel Boone gave her a stunned look before being able to utter his next word's. "W...W...What....was.....that......for?" Daniel stuttered, as Shadow gave him a deep look in his eye's.
"Luck" She whispered to him softly, as she quickly went to a private room to get herself dressed before coming back.
*****
Many hour's had passed, as it had been late at night. Daniel Boone hung out near the area to the warehouse wearing his mask, and Stetson hat, as Shadow shot him a worried look. "Are you sure about this Daniel? Do you really think it's wise for you to take on this mission on your own?" Shadow asked, as Daniel turned to her before studying her worried expression. He let out a sigh before speaking. "Don't worry Shadow.....if I can't handle this....I'll have you come back to help me out with the rest of the mission....now I should be able to cut off the Agent if I take the upcoming alleyway to get to the building....wish me luck."
Daniel told her, as he leaped over a huge edge with style, while making a break to the alleyway that was a few blocks away, as she gazed at where he was heading, and let out a worried sigh. "Be safe.....Daniel" She whispered, as he continued running. He could hear the Spade Agency getting ready, as he finally reached the alleyway, and froze. At the opposite end of the alleyway, he heard the strange breathing that was heard, as The Black Skull General looked at Daniel Boone with hatred, and rage in his eyes.
"It's been a while......Daniel" The Black Skull General snarled, as Daniel looked at him with shock.
"How do you know my name?" Daniel asked, as the Black Skull General spoke.
"You, and I used to be friend's, until you were the one who left me to die on that battlefield. Because of you I was abandoned, and forgotten by the side I fought for during the Great Changeling War" The Black Skull General spoke, as Daniel Boone was shocked, as he figured out who he was talking to.
"FELIX!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" Daniel Boone shouted, as Felix snarled.
"I've already got a name for myself that has struck fear, and killed the thousand's of people with my newfound power. Even after I was abandoned....I searched long, and hard to build up the Empire I needed to bring my vengeance upon you. For year's I planned....securing my throne stolen from Sombra's power, and claiming his sword as my own....bending, and breaking it to my will....and then....the LQS, and you....became my enemies" Felix explained, as Daniel clenched his fist in anger, as he pulled out his pistol.
"So all this time....you were him.....your the leader we've been gunning for....You....are The Black Skull General" Daniel realized, as a chuckle came from Felix, as he clenched the handle of his sword.
"That's right......" He snarled, as he pulled out Sombra's sword, as the blade itself was immiedietly bathed in the shadow dark magic, as Felix got into a fighting stance. ".....and this will be the day that you will draw your last breath" Felix snarled, as Daniel also got in a fighting stance, as he aimed his revolver at his former partner. For a while the two stood silent, and battle ready, until Daniel made the first move. Instead of using Ricochet's, or kill his enemy, he instead fired his pistol straight on. Felix used the hyper speed of his sword, slicing each bullet in half before charging at his old ally.
Daniel managed to dodge the massive sword slashes that The Black Skull General's sword had given to him. Daniel fired at an exposed area, as he hit the protected chest armor of Felix, only forcing him back. Felix then swung the sword on it's chain like a rope dart, as his first attack barely missed Daniel' neck. He twisted again to dodge another attack like this, using the opposite side of his shoulder. The Black Skull General had enough, as he used the chain to spin the blade like a chopper's blade's. He began slicing, and bringing the building's down, forcing Daniel to jump to the Warehouse roof. Felix leaped high into the sky, and fell onto the roof his sword ready.
"You don't have to do this old friend....I thought you were dead, if we had known you were still alive. I would have had the search party, do anything to find you" Daniel tried to shout, as Felix snarled.
"YOU....LEFT ME.....TO DIE......AND NOW IT'S YOUR TURN!!!!!!!!!" Felix snarled, as he threw an immense amount of dark magic at him with the blade, knocking him into a pillar that supported the entire structure. Daniel Boone felt blood trickling down his head, as he looked up at Felix with a growl. Daniel didn't hold back any longer, as he fired his bullet's to ricochet off many of the poles, as they kept him distracted. Daniel went for the open spot, as the revolver cocked another bullet, and fired it straight at Felix. The Black Skull General was knocked back from the force, before taking more gunfire that pushed him back.
Felix roared, as he used a huge dark magic energy slam, followed up, by another wave of dark magic to knock Daniel off the roof, and land onto the harsh concrete below. Daniel groaned from landing on his back, and leg the wrong way, as he limped a little, trying to think of a strategy. The warehouse bursted open, as a huge, bulky stallion from the Spade Agency appeared at the entrance. He was covered in futuristic, black Juggernaut Armor, while sporting a massive flamethrower. "Thank's to getting a DNA sample of Valkyrie....I managed to get enough material for my prototype soldier. "He's known as Death Flame.....hope you two get along"
Felix cackled, as Daniel was forced to take cover, as the flamethrower was fired. Daniel was sweating from the immense heat, while also bleeding. He pulled out his revolver, and started to reload each new bullet in the gun to get the job done. After he had fully re-loaded, he turned his attention to the soldier. He leaped out of cover using some of his soldier training to dodge the huge flames, as he fired at the flamethrower to destroy it. After taking 5 bullet's, a huge napalm like explosion detonated in front of the Juggernaut, as his body melted. Daniel watched the flames burn before Felix's sword appeared out of nowhere with it's chained extending, as the sword went through his shoulder.
"GET OVER HERE!!!!!!!!" The Black Skull General shouted, as he yanked him through the flame's, and landed a powerful punch to the face before hoisting the rest of him back on the roof, and knocked him into another pillar. Daniel's body crumpled, as he could barely keep his consciousness. Felix stood over him with his sword ready, as he raised it to finish the job. The sound of a gun going off was heard, as Daniel's revolver was smoking from the shot, as it breached Felix's armor, and gave him a very critical wound. Felix began to stumble, as Daniel wobbled trying to regain his footing. Felix, and Daniel had a powerful battle, but right now...they were too weak to continue.
Daniel managed to fire another shot in Felix's leg, and another that tore through a small part of his hip. Both of them fell backward, as they crumpled to the ground....as they were both out cold. The Black Skull General, and Daniel Boone layed there, motionless on the roof of the slowly burning warehouse.
*****
Baby Star had searched the area thoroughly before finally finding her master, out cold on the warehouse roof. Baby Star grunted, as she brought The Black Skull General up, as he roared. Felix had woken up, as he tried to use whatever strength he had left to lift the sword to strike, but failed. "My liege....your wounded....stop trying to fight me" Baby Star said, as The Black Skull General snarled.
"I have to finish this.....I have to kill him" Felix hissed, as he staggered a step toward Daniel Boone, as Baby Star decided against it.
"You'll have to do it another day....right now your too wounded to move" Baby Star explained, as The Black Skull General let out a sigh, as he stared at Daniel's unconscious body before speaking.
"Another time Daniel......" He growled, as he limped off with Baby Star, carrying him to the Spade Agency. ".....Another time" His word's repeated, echoing throughout the inky blackness of the empty street's.
*****
Daniel woke up, feeling huge amount's of pain. He had many bandages on him, along with an arm, and a leg cast. Shadow had stayed beside Daniel all night, as he saw her head, laying on his leg's. Daniel was a bit suprised, but gave her a warm smile, as he let his hand's ruffle through her mane. Shadow let out a soft groan, as she opened her eyes, seeing that Daniel was awake. She let out a sigh of relief, as she hugged him greatly, while he layed there confused for a few second's before hugging her back. It took a few day's, but despite his wound's, Daniel had fully healed from his battle with Felix.
Whether it was his old friend, or partner in the war....he had to come clean for the LQS. He could tell that something about the SCP Foundation wasn't right. There was something going on in there that felt a little too hostile for him to continue. He wanted to make sure that he was recovering in the hospital....or so it would seem, and that meant there could be other's who may want to see him, and his partner.....permanently axed off.
Author's Note
