  Nevertheless, as the smoke clears, the Veox Twins look up and witness Victoria rolling out of the smoke. She appears fine, before landing and watching the smoke.

  “Damn, he caught me one good time,” She says, spitting out blood and looking over her shoulder with an agitated look, “Oy! You could’ve helped me out a little bit more here, huh?”

  All of a sudden, a hysterical laugh echoes through speakers and sends a chill down the spines of the Calamita Team. It is Eric’s laugh. The rooms are going red, and a siren starts blaring.

  “Fuck! Were we too late?” exclaims Victoria, tightly gripping the handle of her beam sword.

  “Oh shit!” shouts an angry Saul, frantically looking around.

  Daichi stands there in silence, his head down and grip tight on the handle of his sword.

  [Grand Atlas Coliseum]

  As the people advance to leave, they too suddenly hear the siren wailing and stop to hear it. Just then, the center of the coliseum starts to open as a stand brings back the Sovis bots.

  “What the hell? Why are they bringing the Sovis bots back up?” says a curious Tatyana.

  “Maybe, they’re here to help us out, right? I mean, that’s what they were built for,” says Parker.

  “Something doesn’t feel right about this,” replies Luke.

  Everyone turns to see the Sovis bots appearing from the ground. They are all confused about what is going on. “Why are they up here again?” Just then, the Sovis bots in a mass flies high into the air. There are so many of them that at one point, they block the very sun, creating an actual eclipse in the process. Everyone looks up, and they all have the look of fear on their faces, looking at the piercing red eyes above.

  “What the fuck?” exclaims a frightened Luke.

  “Those eyes weren’t there before!” says Akira, shocked.

  “Holy shit!” Tatyana exclaims in shock as well.

  Suddenly, all the Sovis bots begin to fly down, coming for the people in the Coliseum.

  It takes seconds for the Sovis bots to crash land into the stands, confronting the people. They reveal their faces, full of anger, at the people. Instantly, people start screaming and racing to get out of the chaotic hell that has only just begun.

  The Sovis bots begin grabbing people all around them, and with their wrist-mounted blades, they begin stabbing these people dead right on the spot. Luke, Tatyana, and Akira cannot believe what they are witnessing.

  “Fuck! Let’s fucking go!” shouts Luke, grabbing Parker’s hand and racing up the stairs, pushing many people out of the way.

  Tatyana and her sisters do the same; so does Akira and his mother. The horror is too much for them to bear. The Sovis bots, who had previously shown much kindness to the people, have returned as they promised, only to end their lives. Many people are being slaughtered right in this coliseum. Eric even goes outside to the balcony to watch the Sovis bots slaughter these innocent people and hears the blood-curling screams of those whose lives are being taken from them in mere seconds. Eric steps over King Daimus’s body and rests his arms on the balcony railing, smiling at the horrific scenery.

  “What a beautiful scene!” exclaims Eric before starting to laugh hysterically.

  [Grand Atlas Coliseum/ West Field Factory]

  “Hey! Stacey! I can hear the fucking screams again! What the fuck happened?” yells Victoria.

  “They’re all being slaughtered! Dammit!” Stacey angrily shouts back through Victoria’s earphones, “The terrorists hacked into the Sovis bots and are now attacking people!”

  “Fucking hell! Who the hell are these people?” Saul shouts in anger, stomping his foot on the ground and creating multiple cracks across the ground.

  “Whoever we are dealing with are very, very smart! What the hell could be their true motive here?” Daichi joins in.

  “I couldn’t give a shit less. We have to stop them. NOW!” shouts Victoria, flying towards the door and kicking it open. She flies inside, the Veox robots following behind her.

  Saul and Daichi do the same, blasting through the door and flying through a very long and dark tunnel.

  The Calamita Team’s face show nothing but pure rage upon hearing the echoing screams from way above. They’ve failed, and now, the repercussions are beginning.

  As they continue flying through the pitch-black tunnel that seemed to go on forever, they eventually do find a light at the end of the tunnel. They fly faster toward the light, until a flash of white hits their eyes…

  [Grand Atlas Coliseum/ 50th Room]

  The three of them fly in to what appears to be a massive room with window and floor paintings as well as a very long stairwell that leads to many more floors. The Calamita Team land on the black-and-white tiled ground and look around frantically to find where they should go next.

  “There’s a stairwell, but by the looks of it, we can just fly quickly up there to the 100th floor,” Victoria speaks, pointing to the stairwell.

  “Victoria! Watch out!” shouts Saul, dashing and grabbing her out of the way of a dark electric ball that was coming for Victoria. The ball crashes against the wall, causing an explosion of dark electricity in the process. The Calamita Team turn and are confronted by Drozo, who is in an all-black armored suit with a red sphere and a white N placed on his chest. Steel gauntlets are his main weaponry.

  “You are not going to stop the plan,” declares Drozo.

  “What fucking plan?” shouts Victoria, pushing Saul off her and walking towards Drozo with the Veox twins floating in behind her.

  “To destroy your land!” comes the cold reply, changing his bored expression to anger.

  Chapter End

  Chapter 4

  Survive

  Just as the Calamita Team is about to progress, they are stopped by a large man, who is called Drozo.

  “Just who the fuck are you people!” shouts an angry Victoria, “What the hell is the meaning of all this?”

  “I don’t have to explain that to you. Just know this: This city, and even this land named as Atlas, are doomed,” replies Drozo. “Anything that you three do now will be futile…”

  “You can kiss my fucking ass!” retorts Victoria, being furious at Drozo now. Drozo says nothing but gives her a mocking smirk, which infuriates her even more.

  “Veox 1, Switch to Verox!” shouts Victoria.

  One of the Veox robots body emits a bright pink light as it transforms into one of the Verox pistols. It then quickly flies over to Victoria’s hand, and she wastes no time in pointing her firearm and firing it rapidly at Drozo. Drozo looks focused as he begins charging towards Victoria even as the bullets are directed right at him.

  Drozo slides left and right with a swift pace as he tilts his head quickly to avoid the bullets, all while charging after Victoria by the second. Victoria’s eyes widen at how fast Drozo is coming towards her. But, just in the nick of time, Saul intervenes and places a punch right in Drozo’s face, sending him flying and crashing into the wall.

  Saul doesn’t stop there; he continues to charge at Drozo. However, Drozo flies out of the smoke, and in a matter of seconds, they collide fists in the process, creating a shockwave into the room. The rattles in the room emanating from the shockwaves does nothing to deter their fight—; Saul and Drozo begin trading blows as if they had only seconds left into the final round. They do not stop throwing one heavy punch after the other. But, Drozo suddenly gets the upper hand as he sends a heavy punch to Saul’s stomach, causing Saul to cough out saliva only to be kicked in the face by him again. The kick sends him crashing into another wall. One of the Veox robots suddenly zooms over to Drozo and begins swinging its wrist-mounted swords at Drozo with flair. Yet, Drozo was manages to keep up, easily swaying its attacks. Seizing the opportunity, Victoria secretly swoops in for the kill, flying towards Drozo fast to send her knee crashing against his skull. However, Drozo manages to spot her, and his eyes move towards Victoria quickly coming towards him. He swiftly kicks the Veox robot, sending it crashing t
o the ground, before blocking Victoria’s knee attack by putting up his arms in defense. Victoria bounces back and starts firing more shots at Drozo. Drozo keeps his arms up over his face, making the bullets ricochet off his armor.

  “Fuck off!” shouts Victoria, gritting her teeth.

  Before Victoria fires once more, Daichi intervenes and tries to swing his katana at Drozo. Drozo, again, easily evades Daichi’s sword attacks before kicking Daichi to the stomach and sending him crashing against the wall.

  As Drozo turns to check around him, his eyes suddenly widen as he spots Saul coming at him. He reflexively twists his body and sends a punch to Saul’s fist. The collision of their blows causes a shockwave again. This time, its more powerful than the first. It rattles the room and creates cracks on the windows and the floor. Saul seems to be unmoved at the result of the punch. He simply smirks and sends a forceful fireball at Drozo’s face, causing Drozo to be engulfed in flames. His body is sent flying up and crashes against the wall.

  “Veross!” shouts Victoria. The Veross rifles quickly form into her hand, and she points them both towards the hole where Drozo crashed and begins firing rapidly. The fusillade of bullets causes the hole to get bigger and bigger before triggering an explosion, making Victoria finally stop.

  Moments later, Drozo is seen falling out of the hole motionless. However, just as his body is about to hit the ground, he suddenly positions himself and lands on his two feet. In a flash, he bolts towards Victoria and betrays an expression of pure evil in his face with his fist cocked back. It is enough to strike fear into Victoria’s heart.

  “Fuck! I can’t move for some reason…” a fearful Victoria thinks to herself.

  Before Drozo manages to send Victoria a mighty punch, she is able to glide back quickly, and a massive fire crescent-wave comes crashing at Drozo on his side, causing him to crash into the wall once again. Daichi immediately runs towards the spot where Drozo was sent, holding up the Xiu blade in his hand. However, he is greeted with punches as Drozo flies out of the wall and attacks him. But, Daichi is able to collide each of Drozo’s punches with the Xiu Blade, and each time he does, Drozo’s gauntlets begin to turn hot red. This happens to the point to where Drozo suddenly glides back and stops and shakes his hands, as steam rises off the hot red gauntlets.

  “Shit…that’s hot…” mutters Drozo to himself.

  The Calamita Team gets together, and Drozo is surprised to see that they still do not look tired after having fought against Drozo foor this long.

  “I like you three,” smirks Drozo, “This will be a fun fight…”

  [Grand Atlas Coliseum/ Parking Lot]

  The chaos ensues as the Sovis bots fly around like flies. Some even swoop down to attack the guards who desperately try to fight back, but to no luck. Even the chief guard is out there. He luckily manages to shoot down a few of them.

  The Sovis bots fly around the parking lot, and fly even further into the depths of Atlas City. Many people have already gotten into their cars and are speeding out of the parking lot.

  Amongst the many people racing to their vehicles are Luke and Parker, Tatyana and her three sisters, and Akira and his mother.

  As Luke looks up, he is shocked to see the Sovis bots flying around frantically. But, he quickly races to a black car, pulls out the keys, and presses the unlock button. He quickly heads over to the driver’s seat, as takes the passenger one. They both open the door at the same time and head inside.

  Tatyana and her sisters race towards a large red SUV. Tatyana pulls out the car keys unlock the car before taking the driver’s seat. Kelsie and Shyla head to the backseats, while Tori heads for the passenger.

  Akira and his mother race to a blue car. Akira heads for the driver’s seat, while his mother heads towards the passenger seat.

  After everyone goes into their respected vehicles, they waste no time in speeding out of the parking lot.

  [Atlas City]

  Everyone makes it to the streets, despite it being blocked up after what has transpired. Silence prevails in their cars. All of them look traumatized after what they have just witnessed back in the coliseum. As they drive by, they even catch glimpses of people carrying dead bodies or gravely injured people.

  It is too much for the three drivers to see. They all simultaneously whip out their phones and make a three-way call.

  In a matter of moments, all of them connect. They set their phones on the phone stands which is located where their radio is set up. It’s all silent as they pick up. None of them look as if they want to be the first to speak up. It takes a moment before Tatyana suddenly lets out a sigh, breaking the tense silence.

  “Ok, so where the fuck are the Dynasty Soldiers? People are…fucking dying right now…” lets out an angry Tatyana.

  “Don’t worry! They’ll be arriving shortly…” replies a saddened Luke.

  Just as Luke says this, Tatyana witnesses the Dynasty soldiers in the sky. They fight against the Sovis bots, easily disposing them off. Some Dynasty Soldiers even land to the ground and disrupt the traffic, attacking the Sovis bots in the process. The Dynasty Soldiers wore dark blue battle armor with a light blue visor helmet. The features of their helmet resembled that of a dragon’s head, and a small gold face of a dragon was placed on the armor’s chest. They had a black-and-blue rifle placed on their lower back, and a beam sword handle placed on their upper back. Some of the Dynasty Soldiers had even blocked the traffic, advising many oncoming drivers to take a different route.

  “Now that’s more like it…But what are they doing now?” says Tatyana, looking agitated.

  “They’re trying to stop traffic since all of this chaos is ensuing. We have to take a different route quickly and head home,” advises Luke.

  “Yeah, my lane’s blocked too. But I think I can find a way…” replies Akira.

  Luke and Akira take a left, while Tatyana makes a right. They quickly drive off and avoid traffic quite easily.

  It is nothing but silence from there, as the drivers make many turns, getting away from heavy traffic as much as possible. But, the deeper they go, the more and more they witness the city driving down into chaos. It was quite unbearable for them to watch, but it got even worse…

  They all pressed on the breaks, being confronted by people who were attacked by the Sovis bots. There were no Dynasty Soldier in sight.

  “Ugh, you’ve got to be shitting me!” shouts Tatyana, slamming her hands onto the steering wheel.

  Akira sits back and lets out a stressful sigh as his mother looks on in horror.

  “Damn it all!” blurts out Luke, gritting his teeth while tightly holding on to the steering wheel.

  “Is there any way to go past this TT? This is getting fucking ridiculous!” says Shyla.

  “It’s fucking blocked! There are people everywhere!” replies Tatyana.

  “Oh, my goodness…!” gasps Kelsie, beginning to weep.

  “Luke, I’m scared…!” Parker says, holding onto Luke’s hand.

  Akira, Luke, and Tatyana all look furious. There was nowhere to go. People were all over the place, running from the attacks of the Sovis bots. Some tried to fight back, but to no avail. It was a lost battle, and the drivers carrying their loved ones looked as if they were making a risk-taking decision. They all sat back on their seat and let go of the steering wheel, simply witnessing the hell that was in front of them. They couldn’t stand it any longer…

  [Grand Atlas Coliseum/ 50th Floor]

  The Calamita Team all slide back and look worn out, gasping for air. They watch Drozo brush the dust off his battle armor before looking towards the Calamita Team with an angry, yet dull face.

  “Surely, you all are worn out by now,” says Drozo. “You three...are no match for me. I’ll tell you again, it is futile. You will not win. But I have to admit, I’m quite glad to able to withstand against one of Dynasty’s strongest…”

  “Fuck off, will you!” shouts Victoria, as the Calamita Team charges towards Drozo yet again. Drozo ge
ts ready and braces himself for yet another onslaught.

  [Grand Atlas Coliseum/ King Daimus’ Office]

  Eric has his eyes glued on to the laptop screen, with his fingers moving rapidly on the keyboard. His eyes move left and right, as he types all sorts of mysterious codes. Michelle leans against the door, looking quite annoyed while staring at Eric.

  “Got anything yet?”

  “Can you SHUT UP!” shouts Eric, cutting Michelle off.

  “Drozo is having all the fun against those guys, and I’m sitting here bored!” says Michelle drily.

  “Well… Go fucking…outside and kill some guys or something. I don’t care…” says Eric, continuing to type, “Wait…!”

  Eric’s eyes widen, and he suddenly stops typing as he presses the space bar. Moments later, the bookshelf to his left begins to separate itself. Eric gets himself out of his seat fast and faces the bookshelf, which reveals a silver door.

  “I’ve found it!” declares Eric with a sniveling smirk, “a

  All this time, it had been behind this damn bookcase!”

  “Speaks a lot about how smart you are at this hacking thing,” quips Michelle, walking past Eric and going towards the balcony door. Eric has an agitated look on his face as he watches Michelle exit the room and enter the balcony.

  “he’s so annoying…” mutters Eric to herself, “It doesn’t matter…now it’s time to end all of this…!”

  [Grand Atlas Coliseum/ 50th Floor]

  This time, Victoria is sent rolling across the ground before she hops back up with her hair down and looking very exhausted. Seconds later, Daichi and Saul are sent flying and crashing into another wall behind Victoria. Drozo slowly begins to walk towards Victoria while cracking his knuckles.

  “You guys just don’t quit…!” shouts Drozo angrily.

  “Saul! Daichi! I’m heading to save the king and take out the mastermind behind all this!” shouts Victoria.
