The Black Market

Chapter 5

"Colonel Sanders, what do you think will be our best option now?" Cale glanced at Colonel Sanders briefly before firing two shots which killed two enemies who were unaware of their exact location.

Colonel Sanders sweat trickled down his forehead as he carefully thought of possible ways to overcome their current predicament. Although the enemies don"t know the exact location they were hinding in, but it is only a matter of time before they were discovered.

"The enemies don"t know our exact numbers. They might be currently thinking on how many we are. So if I was the general of the opposing side, I will test the waters by letting about twenty percent of my soldiers fight. By doing this, I will be able to estimate..." Colonel Sanders blabbered his thoughts, but when he saw the darkening look on Cale"s face, he swallowed the words he was about to say and just remained silent while he looked at Cale fearfully.

"Skip the boring c.r.a.p and just provide me with the most effective plan. Do you understand me soldier?" Cale said while scaring Colonel Sanders.

Colonel Sanders nodded his head like a chicken pecking on rice. He cleared his throat and said "For now, we should regroup with Saber and Uriel. If we remain here, then within ten minutes we will be riddled with holes from their laser guns."

Cale nodded his head in agreement and led the group in their escape, when suddenly they heard the sound of several fighter drones firing multiple rounds of laser cannon towards them.

The drones were about one meter in diameter with black turtle shape. They were fully plated with Z-Steel metal and Meteorium Ore. Each of their heads were attached with mini laser cannons. On each of their sides were high powered energy rifles. As long as they have sufficient energy, then these little flying dragons are capable of firing unlimited amounts of energy beams.

The sudden emergence of more than twenty fighter drones scared them witless. They fired their enhanced weaponry towards the drones, but their bullets merely bounced of on their tough armors.

Cale pulled out a weapon from his back and fired a shot towards one of the drones. His terrifying looking gun emitted a blue muzzle flash and a long beam of blue light emerged out of it which traveled swiftly towards a drone, intantly destroying it.

Major Murphey glanced at the weapon and gaped in shock. "Isn"t that the "Blue Dragon"? I thought Dr. Nicholas haven"t finished making it. To think that this particle beam weapon was capable of instantly destroying a fighter drone."

With the advancement of human technology, several geniuses also emerged and helped the Alliance maintain a deadlock with their unknown enemy. One of these geniuses was a young scientist named Nicholas. He discovered a possible way on how to accelerate energies without an electric charge. Although it was nowhere near the proposed theory that particle beams can be shot on a speed close to the speed of light, but the model of the weapon he created which was the Blue Dragon, was strong enough to rival the advanced weaponries of their enemy.

"Go! I will buy you time. Leo, take this flashdrive with you. Don"t worry brothers, after destroying these little mosquitoes, I will chase after you. Don"t waste time, just go!" Cale handed the flashdrive to a middle age man with a long Z-Steel sword on his back as he shot another beam of blue light which destroyed another fighter drone.

The Phantom Wolf Squad followed the command like it was a heavenly decree. Colonel Sanders and Major Murphey looked conflicted but they still followed the order and escaped with the Phantom Wold Squad.

Cale saw that they were already far away. He smiled and turned back his head towards the approaching enemy. He looked like an enraged lion who lost his cub. He fired multiple particle beams while evading the laser beams shot on his way. But despite his dexterous evasion, he was still hit by an energy bullet.

He held his shoulder which now has a gaping hole.

He gritted his teeth and endured the excruciating pain, before firing another volley of particle beams.

After destroying the last fighter drone, Cale who now has another two gaping holes on his stomach and right leg, spat a mouthful of blood and knelt on the ground with one knee. He was breathing heavily with his eyes half closed.

"Not here! I won"t fall here just yet! Aaarrggg!!" Cale shouted at the top of his lungs like an injured dragon. He stood up with great difficulty and chased after his squad, but before he can take another step forward, he felt the ground tremble. He turned his head back and saw something that made him smile hopelessly.

Cale looked at the darkening sky, he saw flashes of lightning from time to time . Heavy rain poured and drenched his injured body wet.

"The heavens doesn"t want me to live anymore. F.u.c.k you! I will die a glorious death and even that metalloid can"t stop me here! Phantom Wolf Squad, escape from here! Allow your captain to give you some time to escape! Continue living my brothers!" His angry roar resonated in the gra.s.slands.

His squad which was now faraway from him, heard his shout over the radio. They all felt sad and wished that they could die with their captain in battle, but his orders were like laws to them, they dare not disobey him.

They swiftly got inside the hummer and drove out of the Ndebele border. All of them were suppressing their tears to fall as they clenched their fists in extreme sadness.

A middle age man with a long Z-Steel sword on his back was holding a flashdrive gently like it was a fragile little jade. While holding back his tears, he said to the rest of the squad "Let"s continue living! That was his final order. We must hold unto his words until we breathe our last."

The men can no longer hold back their tears, and they all sobbed like little kids who lost their father.

In the gra.s.slands of Ndebele Village, a bloodstained man was tightly clutching his scary looking weapon and used it to remain standing. He smiled brightly which was a stark contrast to his current plight.

He was now standing on where Saber planted the enhanched bombs. His goal was to lure "The Vanquisher" and die together with it. Although the bombs placed down below were not strong enough to destroy The Vanquisher, but he still had one last item that can multiply the strength of the explosion.

"You stupid metal sc.r.a.p! I, your granddaddy Cale is here to give you good ol" fas.h.i.+oned a.s.s whooping!" Cale taunted before spitting another mouthful of fresh blood.

The Vanquisher put away its huge energy gun and pulled a long jade sword on its back. It walked slowly towards Cale, wis.h.i.+ng to prolong his agony by making him feel despair.

Cale smiled and turned on his radio, he waited for The Vanquisher to step on where the bombs where located before he pulled out a blue liquid from inside the long barrel of his Blue Dragon.

This blue liquid was the source of energy of his weapon and a personal concoction of Dr. Nicholas himself. This liquid is full of unstable chemicals which will cause a ma.s.sive explosion at the slight contact with fire.

"Saber, detonate the bomb." Cale said calmly with a profound smile.

Saber trembled when he heard the order. His heart was in turmoil but he still pressed the b.u.t.ton in his shaking hands.

"Boooooooommmm!!"
