Stargate: Universe's
Mankind's Only Hope
Bullet blasts were everywhere, filling the entire room of the left wing. Every shot and explosion was completely deafening. Very fast, precise, and also difficult to predict. However, that did not apply to the man with the machete and shotgun in both hands. The man avoided every shot very easily. Jumping like a rabbit, and dodging nimbly like a wolf. In the midst of all the chaos in the left wing room of the last hope of mankind, the man moved here and there like he was doing the greatest circus show in the history of mankind.
“About, how many times have you fired at all these beautiful iron walls, man ??”
“Be quiet, fucking clown !!”
“(Sigh) Everyone always calls me clown, huh ??” mummy Flambeau.
Running out of patience, the Exceels instantly shot towards Flambeau while circling, shooting in all directions nonstop. The room was getting chaotic and damaged thanks to all the shots from him. Again, the result is still the same. Not a single bullet could hit Flambeau. All he got, precisely a back kick that hit his stomach, threw himself to hit the iron wall of the famous Bulwark is very strong.
“You know ? I should have come here to bring enlightenment to people like you. But it turns out, the brains of the monkey offspring were already filled with the darkness of the world to the point that even our divine light could not penetrate it. It's unfortunate, isn't it??”
“Cih !! That enlightenment of yours, that makes the human monkey brain come back to the surface again!!”
“Badness....”.
In one blink of an eye, Flambeau had darted towards the Exceels, kicking them once more until it pierced through Bulwark's iron wall. That kick was something that could not be avoided by him. Like a punishment from God. An anger, which brings woe and regret for straying from its light.
“Truly already damned, full of futility and stupidity. Is that what you are proud of ? Build a place among the space vacuum, to avoid what is inevitable !!?”
Death is inevitable, but still, Exceels is still trying to distance himself from the grips of death. He dragged his body with both hands holding a double-gifted pistol from someone he once knew, who he said was, it is the only place where the people he knows can put their last hope safely in the midst of the destruction of this world. He has given new hope to those who hide behind his body, but unfortunately, those who take refuge behind him will never come to his aid at this time. Flambeau, setting foot on the face of the Exceels, said that it was time to forget about the life of humanity that he had always protected along with his team, along with his 'family. Knowing that his prey was not going to move anymore, Flambeau decided to end the Exceels' life sooner than he had intended, directing his shotgun to the Exceels' head.
“Say, 'adios' !!”
So, this is the end, huh ??
...****************...
8 Minutes earlier.
Protect him, Incurso. Him, still a child.
Incurso recalled with someone once standing between himself and Exceels in the past. Someone who has always united the two of them into what people call a perfect brother and sister. He should be the one who breaks all obstacles with both hands, and Exceels is the one who steps forward and creates new possibilities for all those who take refuge from the destruction of the world. But once the person disappears swallowed by the earth and time, the bond between the two is finally severed. He just destroyed everything that was in his way, and the Exceels just always walked beyond him. The two are always competing, trying to defeat the god who took someone from between the two. Only to find out in the end, that the god too, had now taken one more thing from them.
“You all stick to Limbo. I'll pick up Exceels.”
“Wait a minute, not like this our previous plan !!” exclaim Maria instantly.
Incurso had just turned back and had not even taken a single step, but Maria was already before him, blocking his path. All the mechanoids and Militus who were with him stopped at that very instant, putting their gazes towards the two. Incurso sighed, and then walked up to Maria while looking at her sharply.
“You know what I do whenever something gets in the way, don't you?”
“Try to do that to me.”
Incurso looked back. All eyes were on him at this moment. The scenery behind there, as if like a deja vu from the previous incident when Silvia came to him while angry. He could not possibly repeat the shameful incident in front of all the mechanoids and Militus who were below his rank.
“My shortcomings alone will not change your power up to 180°. There's one Prophet on the left wing, and I have to take over that fight right away. After all, my sister was much more knowledgeable about Limbo than I was.”
“Good reason, former occupier. Are you sure about your sister??”
“He can, believe me. This is not the time to destroy, but to repair.”
After saying that, Incurso then patted Maria on the shoulder as he walked past her, heading in the opposite direction from Limbo. Everyone including Mary watched him walk away for a while, before finally deciding to continue their journey back to the Limbo room. It is true what Incurso said. This is not the time to destroy man's only hope, but to fix it.
“Helena, let me know Exceels now.” Incurso told Helena via comms on her left wrist.
A few seconds later, after a brief pause with an extremely deafening static sound, Helena finally appeared on the Comms Incurso in the form of a hologram. He seemed to be very busy behind the hologram screen, just like everyone else right now. Everyone he knew was doing their job.
“You should be quick, Incurso. He can't beat that damn clown Prophet like.”
“I've guessed......”.
Incurso closed his comms channel, and after that, he immediately rushed towards the left wing room where Exceels was currently. To him, if the Exceels could not be saved now, it would be the same as the human race that lost their only last hope. He can't let that happen, and he'll never let that happen either. If the evil god's hand was trying to take his only brother as the evil gods did to their 'father, then he only needed to smash the hands of those evil gods with his power.
After all, that was indeed the purpose of being born in this world long ago. To break down any obstacle that seeks to fight against man.
Destroying, what is impossible to destroy.
...****************...
“Say, 'adios' !!”
The voice distracted Flambeau instantly. As soon as he turned his head towards the source of the sound, he was immediately struck by a mysterious, extremely powerful impulse, making him hit the iron wall behind him. However, the explosion did not look alien to the Exceels. He looked up, and at that moment, he saw Incurso walking towards him.
“Incurso..
“You look so bad know, novice engineers.”
With just one blast of tonfas at the hands of the Incurso alone, signs that the Flambeau would soon bounce back looked like it would not happen in a moment. Exceels took a sigh of relief, then slightly raised his body facing the face of Incurso who was already squatting before him at the moment.
“What are you doing here ?? Shouldn't you go to Limbo with the others ??”
Hearing the Exceels' question, Incurso pondered for a moment, then turned his tonfa so that its long end was facing towards the Exceels at this time.
“Which I know is only a way to destroy, while you, know everything about the giant machine of the 'Babel. I can destroy this fucking clown, while you can fix that giant machine. Isn't that what we both always do when Scire is with us??”
Together with a figure named Scire, the two of them seemed like they would never be defeated. Together with that figure named Scire, they seemed to have risen in rank to become immortal beings. They are like eating the peaches of the gods who give immortality to a mere ape. But when that figure named Scire had finally left the two of them, what was left of the togetherness they once had ? Just a memory. But thanks to those unforgettable memories, the two were finally able to return to how they were. Although the figure of Scire is now no longer with them, but thanks to memories that they can not forget it, they can finally prove, that what is impossible is, they can still destroy. They can still change. They can still fix it.
Exceels held the tip of the tonfa that the Incurso had thrust at him, then looked Incurso in the eye with a serious look.
“You are fine if I live alone ??”
“Pastya. I'll really enjoy this destruction, rookie engineer.”
“Hmph, whatever you say, maniac crusher.”
Exceels stood up and kept both of his pistols in his pants pocket, replacing them with the tonfas Incurso gave him. Exceels patted Incurso's shoulder three times as a farewell, then walked towards where Limbo was. And while the Exceels were walking away leaving him, Incurso stood back facing towards Flambeau whose body had now been enveloped by the might of Star Net while stretching out both of his hands. Incurso grinned, then immediately turned to his horses. Yeah, he's really gonna really enjoy the destruction of that damn clown right now.
“Waw, really a family drama, huh ??” mummy Flambeau.
Incurso only scorned in annoyance, then immediately shot towards Flambeau along with his raised fist.
“(Sigh) Everything is always the same....” muttered Flambeau.
Flambeau simply tilted his head to avoid Incurso's violent blow that split the wind. Knowing that Flambeau had lightning-fast reflexes, Incurso pulled his fist once more, then performed a quick jab towards Flambeau's face. Again, Flambeau was able to avoid it easily, making a back flip of three afterwards. Flambeau was not affected by the slightest blow, making Incurso even more excited and grinning on his own without him noticing.
“Try more, fucking man.”
“You asked for it, clown !!”
After leaning his body forward, Incurso instantly pushed his body to dart towards Flambeau. Once he got close to him, Incurso rained down on Flambeau with a barrage of fists from his cybernetic hands. Every hard and fast blow could be easily avoided by Flambeau. None of his body parts had ever been hit by a blow from Incurso. Flambeau eventually grew bored, deciding to fend off one of Incurso's punches that led to his head with his machete. The two of them, then looked at each other for a moment.
“You are really very boring, know.”
“Incidentally, I can make you no longer bored.”
Flambeau scoffed in disbelief, then turned Incurso's right hand by turning his machete. At first he intended to slash Incurso's body with his machete after Incurso's right hand moved away from him, but what he didn't know was, it was actually what Incurso wanted. With a swift movement as his right hand swung upward, Incurso's body emitted a bright blue light, and he had instantly struck Flambeau with a photon shield formed on the front side of his body. The thrust was so strong that it threw Flambeau back into the space of Bulwark's left wing behind it. Without a second thought, Incurso took out his sniper rifle, aiming at Flambeau, who was still lying on the floor.
“It's very easy, clown !!”
Just as the trigger was being pulled, an explosion of blue-colored energy shot through the air. That left-wing space instantly trembled violently thanks to its explosion, as if it was about to fall into an empty void. It was as if Incurso destroyed humanity's only hope with a shot from his sniper rifle, but he actually destroyed one of humanity's threats. Flambeau's body was no longer visible after being devoured by a thick puff of smoke from the huge explosion. Incurso lowered his rifle after waiting for a while. There was no sign that Flambeau would rise or strike him back. Incurso observed the puff of smoke for a moment, said a final goodbye to one of the Prophets, then walked back towards the direction of the Limbo room leaving the left-wing room alone.
He thought that with the disappearance of one Prophet who attacked Bulwark, the hope of mankind had been saved again, but it was not as he had expected, when suddenly, he had, all the lights in the hallway all over Bulwark just went out. His frame instantly sounded a deafening alarm. Spontaneously, he immediately opened the comms on his left wrist, but the screen was not as blue as usual. The comms screen was precisely red, and a writing was written on the screen.
I'm not dead yet, you fool !! You are the ones who are actually dead right now !!
The IMP has been replaced with the queen, and that means, all of you are in my hands, and so are we, the Prophets !!
I'm not dead......... It's just that I'm living again in another dimension invisible to you mortal beings !!
Gods*** you all, mortales !!
The alarm bells from his frame said that the infection rate of the virus around him had exceeded the limits he could withstand with himself, as well as the current Bulwark. In the end, man's only hope has indeed been destined by the impossible to defeat or destroy. The final fate of mankind was indeed predestined from the beginning by them, namely to be destroyed. No matter what humans do to sustain their lives, everything will only end in one word. Vain.......
That damn clown joined the virus !!
