4014 Batworld
Chapter 7 Flight of the Valkyrie
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAgent Z needed to make sure that she was ready. She had to run every check-up throughout Valkyrie's system, making sure she was 100% battle ready. Valkyrie herself was almost amazed that she was able to be alive, and ready for action. Her creator had programmed her with what she wanted for this city. Right now to her it seemed she was protecting the innocent, as a prototype weapon that could do so much. Her claw's, her blue firebreath, her strength. Ponies were depending on her, and she could.....not.....FAIL!!!! She followed her creators instruction's to attack some training dummies.
It wasn't enough, but Valkyrie herself wanted to make sure she wouldn't cause harm. "Alright Valkyrie, we need to test your magic, and power to be able to take on the two enemies who are running loose in this world, are you ready to proceed?" Agent Z asked, as Valkyrie nodded, ready to proceed with the training itself. One target was presented to her one by one, as the A.I. Hybrid took off with incredible speed. Her claw's sliced, and butchered the wood, causing the destroyed splinter remains to fly off. Valkyrie was very well co-ordinated....although she didn't have wings, she fought much like a Valkyrie, using height, might, and sheer power to destroy her targets.
Valkyrie didn't even hold back, her dragon flame's scorching some of the metal ground beneath her, and her wooden dummies. Within a few second's, Valkyrie had defeated her test dummy target's, and made sure that they were all destroyed. More training sessions were on the go, as Valkyrie did her best to end her enemies, and her success rate was through the roof. Agent Z looked at the finished test result's with a serious look on her face, while also pushing the glasses further up her face before giving Valkyrie a serious look. "Your ready" She stated seriously, as she brought her creation to the surface as planned.
She had set her site's on something that she wanted, as well as the Spade Agency, and LQS. They were all after a specific device that was kept in a museum. This device was experimented on during the Great Changeling War, but it became too dangerous for use.....as it's creators proclaimed. This device was known as a super cube....with very concentrated thought through magical spell's, it could be a powerful energy source, a powerful piece of armor, or a Doomsday device. This device was beneficial to her, but when she discovered it, so did the LQS Agency, and the Spade Agent's.
This was a perfect opportunity to nail three bird's with a single stone. Agent Z had to plan her moves just right....otherwise....they were in trouble.

At the head of the deeply hidden Spade Agency was the figure completely covered in Shadow, who sat on it a shadow covered like throne. It took him years to find it, and make it part of his technological power, but the black warped version of King Sombra's shadow throne, only made the Black Skull General himself be even more terrifying. No one knew his name, his power, his weapons, his magic, or the technology he used for himself, and that suited him just fine. He would only show himself when it would deem necessary. The minions that approached him were, Bloody Mary, Baby Star, and Toxic Queen.
"My three best aces....you have arrived as I have planned....I have a job for you" The Black Skull General told them....his very unusual breathing, echoeing throughout his throne room. All of the three aces bowed respectfully, as he spoke again. "My beautiful Toxic.....speak young beauty, you know of the job that I may have asked you" The Black Skull General spoke again, as Toxic Queen herself rose, and spoke.
"My liege you know of the Super Cube that will help us.....its power could be very useful to you, for your future plans" Toxic Queen explained, as The Black General spoke again.
"I know.....which is why I'm sending you all to retrieve it....I need for you to get there as early as possible to draw our enemies out, then take them out, and retrieve the artifact" The Black Skull General ordered, as all of them bowed respectfully to him. The three of them began to depart, until The Black Skull General stomped his foot, getting all of there attention.
"Only Baby Star, and Toxic Queen will be going on this job.....Bloody Mary.....I have a task for you, that will reward you very handsomely, along with you being able to do something up your alley" The Black Skull General told them, as Bloody Mary let out an insane cackle before speaking.
"Sound's good boss.....I can't wait" She smiled, as The Black Skull General discussed his plan with her, while the other's prepared to complete the task that they had been assigned.
*****
The SCP Foundation was mostly very quiet after one had gotten use to it. If it wasn't nice to see the harmless SCP's, the other guard's, or talking with Doctor Plague himself, the SCP Foundation was the most boring assignment ever given to the following three Agent's. Right now it was lunch break, as Essy, Will, and Alice sat at a very seperate table as they chatted among each other. "Ugh....this coffee just doesn't feel the same as the good shit we have" Essy groaned, as she continued to sip it, trying to adjust to it's taste.
"At least it isn't meat loaf day....there meat loaf can sometimes taste like a bunch of dog turd's on a cardboard stick" Alice groaned, as Will just rolled his eyes.
"Well at least its better when the Foundation gave you an SCP 999 plushie for you to sleep with at night" Will explained, as Alice smiled, while looking completely nervous.
"Oh yes....it's nice enough that they loved me so much to give me a plushie of SCP 999" Alice smiled, as Essy spoke.
"They gave it to you....BECAUSE YOU KEPT STEALING SCP 999, and SNUGGLED IT EVERY TIME YOU WENT TO BED, SENDING THE GUARD'S IN A COMPLETE PANIC, MULTIPLE TIMES!!!!!!!!!" Essy shouted, as Alice turned red with embarrassment as she spoke, while awkwardly laughing.
"Wha-ha-hat......Me? No of course not.....I would never steal, the most adorable, cutest, little SCP every night, just so I can snuggle him like a little slimeball.....Eh heh heh heh" Alice chuckled sheepishly, as Will gave her a deadpanned look.
"Your not much of a good liar sis" Will told her, as Alice shot him an annoying glare.
"Oh shut up" She whined, and Will merely chuckled. After all of them finished eating there lunch, they started to finish up with their coffee, until Defender approached them.
"Ah Defender.....you're here, so tell me....why have you come all this way to see us, when we are working hard for the SCP Foundation?" Will asked, as Defender spoke.
"I've got another mission for you, and Essy....it will give the two of you a break from the boring hours of the SCP Foundation for you....the two of you ready?" Defender asked, as Essy laughed gleefully.
"Finally.....some EXCITEMENT!" She hissed at that last sentence, as Defender also de-briefed them about the artifact, and to acquire it. They knew their mission.....and they knew what to do.
*****
The museum itself was the same one that Essy, and Will had fought in before as Will looked at the place, then turned to Essy with a smile, as they were on the roof, of a rather futuristic Sky Scraper. "Hey Essy.....isn't this the place where you kicked me in the ball's?" Will asked, as Essy turned away with a face of embarrassment.
"I really, really, regret that, but I'm also glad your still able to have sex with me even after that" Essy mumbled, as Will chuckled nervously before turning his attention to the museum. What none of the three parties knew, was that they were all there....without the other's noticing. Baby Star, and Toxic Queen were already getting into the building to find the artifact.
"There.....Toxic Queen, and Baby Star.....those are two of the Spade Agency sisters" Essy explained, as Will smiled.
"I'll take Baby Star.....you go for Toxic Queen....does that sound good?" Will asked, as Essy cocked him a smile.
"You know it babe" She teased, as the two of then used a special grappling zipline to surprise the sister's, as they were both caught off guard. Essy did a front flip, as she extended her leg's, and kicked Toxic Queen off the roof, and into the alleyway. Will threw his metal baseball bat, as it gave Baby Star a brutal hit. Blood sprayed from Baby Star's mouth, as she collapsed to the ground. Both parties were prepared to fight each other, each one having their own specific battle.
*****
Baby Star, managed to shake the hit off, as she used her hand's to jump up on all four's, while Agent 4014 attracted the metal baseball bat, back to his wristpad. Baby Star pulled out a futuristic shotgun that had many abilities to it. Agent 4014 charged at her with his metal bat, as with a yellow magical glow Baby Star's shotgun changed into some metal gloves, as she swung her fist, connecting with the bat. The collision's sent a painful ripple through their arms, but they both ingored it, as their weapons met, blow by blow. Agent 4014 did his best to get around her, but Baby Star had a good defense. Agent 4014 swung the baseball bat, and caught her off guard with a shot from his handgun.
Baby Star was knocked back, feeling the blood dripping from her shoulder. Agent 4014 charged at her with his bat at the ready, but thanks to her speed, she used her fist to bash him with a huge hit, sending him down through the roof, as he collapsed to the ground of the museum. Agent 4014 pointed his gun up, and fired again, as Baby Star, barely managed to dodge the bullet before nearly falling off the building. Agent 4014 managed to get up, as he began running up the remaining stairs to the roof, kicking the steal door down to face his opponent. Baby Star was already roping her way down to the device as she eyed the object perfectly.
Agent 4014, directed where he wanted to strike, as he used enough momentum to tackle her, back into the museum's second floor, near the device as they both crashed to the ground painfully. Both of them managed to get back up, as they took a few minutes to recover from their fall's. "Your....not.....getting in my WAY!!!!!!!" Baby Star roared, as she bumped her iron fisted gloves together, and charged. Agent 4014 did the same, as he swung his metal baseball bat at her. Baby Star ducked from the attack, and slammed her fist into his gut knocking him upward, and flat on his back.
Baby Star charged, ready to bash his brain's out, but Agent 4014 rolled to the side, as he quickly threw his bat at her knocking her back, then using his wristpad to attract his baseball bat back to him, as it bashed right into her again. Baby Star stumbled as her blind luck, managed to help her dodge a bullet from Agent 4014's gun. Baby Star got back into the fight, as she replaced one of her metallic fist's with a handgun as she fired with precision accuracy. Agent 4014 managed to dodge, cover, and weave before tackling her out the window. Both of them landed with an ugly crunch as Toxic Queen came out quite battered, as an angry looking Essy joined the fray.
Baby Star panted, out of breath as Toxic Queen did the same, as Agent Spade had her sleeves ripped, while holding a gun in one hand, and one of her Kabal sword blade's in the other, as she pointed the gun at Toxic Queen, as Agent 4014 did the same with Baby Star.
*****
Both Toxic Queen, and Agent Spade fell off the roof before hitting a dumpster lid, crashing onto the alleyway floor. Both of them seperated, as Toxic Queen managed to leap back, coming to a huge stop, as she drew two toxic knives from her pocket, as Agent Spade smiled, drawing her Kabal sword's. "Alright ya Toxic Bitch.....let's dance" Agent Spade growled, as the two of them begin matching blade, by blade, blow for blow, at hyper speed's. They were both super fast, and it was easy for them to adapt. Toxic Queen kicked Agent Spade back before throwing one of her knives at her, as Agent Spade, barely dodged the blow.
One second, was all Toxic Queen needed, as she managed to charge in quickly, while swinging her other knife. Agent Spade managed to dodge the blade, but the process made her rip a sleeve of her outfit. Agent Spade, pulled out her gun, as she fired a single bullet that went into the building, as Toxic Queen barely managed to dodge it. She tackled Agent Spade to the ground, as the two of them wrestled aggressively, trying to kill one another, while the other sleeve of Agent Spade's outfit also ripped. Agent Spade had enough, as she tossed Toxic Queen over near the end of the alleyway before firing, bullet after bullet at her with her gun.
Toxic Queen took a hit from the shoulder before being chased to a clearing, coming across Baby Star as the two of them now stood, back to back, as Agent 4014, and Agent Spade had cornered them with their gun's cocked, and ready.
*****
Both Agent's were ready to end the fight, but Agent Z clapped in amusement as she held the artifact that she needed in her hand's, as she smiled. "How fitting.....you both are so expectant to kill each other making me get closer to my goal.....how fitting" Agent Z smiled, as Will gave her a puzzled look.
"I'm sorry....who are you again?" Will asked, as Agent Z laughed.
"I am Agent Z....an enemy to both of your fellow agencies....and I've come for this artifact as well, but first I want to see all of you fight my new creation" Agent Z spoke, as within a flash....Valkyrie herself appeared on top of the roof.
"Target's acquired.....I am awaiting your command Mistress" Valkyrie spoke, as Agent Z grinned.
"Take them out" She roared, as Valkyrie turned her attention to her enemies. She leaped high into the sky, as she slammed down on creating a huge crater. Agent 4014, and Spade dodged it, while Toxic Queen, and Baby Star were knocked back into a building's wall, as their bodies crumpled to the ground from the extreme hit. Agent 4014 grimaced, as he faced Valkyrie. She shot flames from her mouth like a dragon, as Agent 4014 barely dodged Valkyrie's powerful flames. Agent Spade switched her gun out, with her other blade as she charged at her with a few powerful hit's, getting Valkyrie's attention.
Valkyrie pulled out some energy cannon gun's, as she fired, knocking Agent Spade into the wall, as she crumpled upon the hit. Warm blood leaked from her head, as Agent Spade clutched her wound from the powerful weapon. Valkyrie prepared to fire a killing shot before Agent 4014 fired an emp grenade from his gun as it gave Valkyrie a painful electrical shock that surged through her, as the machine turned to her Agent 4014. Valkyrie fired one of the gun's again, knocking him back with a painful attack, as he layed on the ground bleeding badly. Valkyrie turned her attention to him, as she charged her weapon for the killing blow.
*****
On the high top of the roof, Bloody Mary sat patiently, with a very powerful laser sniper rifle, as she loaded it with a specific blue energy bullet. One bullet was all Bloody Mary needed, so she couldn't miss. She remembered the instruction's the Black Skull General gave her as Bloody Mary sat, and waited for an opening. She breathed in, and out patiently, aiming the sniper rifle at Valkyrie. She watched the fight carry on, until Valkyrie stood over Agent 4014 as she had her opening. Bloody Mary breathed in, and out, as she fired the high velocity bullet which slammed into Valkyrie who let out an agonizing scream as a medium sized chunk of her body was blasted from her.
Valkyrie layed on the ground unconscious, as Agent Z quickly rushed to her aid. She still had the artifact, and took it with her, when she ran off with an injured Valkyrie. Toxic Queen, and Baby Star managed to climb to the roof with an angry stare as they both stared at Bloody Mary angrily. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE......THIS IS OUR JOB!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" Toxic Queen roared, as Bloody Mary chuckled.
"Oh don't worry sis.....it's also mine....I did my job as requested, and we completed our mission" Bloody Mary smiled, as Baby Star twitched, before speaking to their youngest sister.
"YOU FOOL.....WE DIDN'T COMPLETE OUR MISSION......THAT OTHER AGENT BOBO, AND HER PET GOT AWAY WITH THE ARTIFACT......WE ARE COMPLAINING TO THE MASTER ABOUT THIS!!!!!!!!!!" Baby Star snarled, as the two of them dragged Bloody Mary with them, back to the Agent Spade's hideout.
*****
Agent Spade got up painfully as she grabbed her friend, and lover, as she began to limp to the only safe place she knew at the time. She carried Agent 4014 with her, hoping that she would do everything in her power to keep him, and her alive. It was a long shot, but it was her only hope, as she continued to walk down the dark road's. Elsewhere, Agent Z had repaired Valkyrie with ease as she managed to have her pet live again. Sadly, she learned an unsettling truth about the artifact she had stolen....as she just put it on a shelf as decoration, while waiting for her next move.
*****
A very angry pair, of Toxic Queen, and Baby Star stormed through the Agency, until coming back to the Black Skull General's throne as they stood there, angry, but disappointed after dragging Bloody Mary with them, as the Black Skull General spoke. "Well ladies....how did the mission go?" The Black Skull General asked, until Baby Star sighed before speaking.
"We.....failed......my liege, an Agent, and her android managed to get away with the relic" Baby Star sighed, as The Black Skull General smiled, as his next line surprised both Baby Star, and Toxic Queen.
"Good" He spoke softly, as all of them had a broken look on their face, as Bloody Mary smiled, as the Black Skull General turned to her.
"Bloody Mary....did you succeed in the task I gave you?" The Black Skull General asked, as she nodded.
"It is done my liege.....the material went where you suggested, and is ready for pick up" Bloody Mary smiled, as the Black Skull General nodded.
"Excellent....now Baby Star, and my beautiful Toxica you both deserve an explanation. The artifact that was in that museum is a fake I had made sure that they would pick up. Year's ago after the Great Changeling War, I found the artifact in a temple, and replaced it with a perfect copy that fooled any technology, unless someone tried to use it as the original artifact. When I found the artifact I used it's power to bring King Sombra's shadow throne to me, as an extension of my rule....along with getting something else" The Black Skull General explained, as the Toxic Queen stammered her request.
"B-B-But....if you knew it was a fake....why did you send the two ot us separately, while Bloody Mary would engage the android with her sniper rifle?" Toxic Queen asked, as The Black Skull General grinned, as he spoke.
"I knew that putting it in a museum would serve as the perfect trap, and when my spies told me of Agent Z, and her beautiful Android Valkyrie....I realized I needed a piece of that Android to further develop a technology I have.....and it went well. The prototype has been perfected by a mercenary group in the darkest streets of Sin City....waiting to be plucked for my cause. I had to keep the two of you in the dark.....otherwise my trap would have failed. You all did good, and will now be rewarded as promised" He smiled, as they were all given three briefcases loaded with money as they enjoyed their reward, until Baby Star spoke.
"My liege, shall we retrieve the prototype you require?" Baby Star asked, as the Black Skull General smiled.
"Actually......I'll do it myself, I haven't gotten off this throne in year's....and now it's time I made my presence known" The Black Skull General spoke as he readied his weapon, and walked off his throne to engage his enemies.
