chapter 17

Pete was fighting his red colored trooper while battling out in the shadows at Mach twenty-five.

Coach J had made sure that all members were able to move at least that speed as a bare minimum.

Both warriors were shifting their bodies around seeking who would get the next blow. The battle had been a stalemate.

Both of the assailants started to release all of their energy and start to throw all sorts of hidden blades aimed in every sort of direction imaginable. Pete is grazed by the trooper's blade, as is the foe.

This goes on for several minutes until the shifty assassin is able to get behind the Iborian trooper.

The enemy's neck was snapped and his heart was gored through with a knife.

Yet, the trooper was unfazed by the attack and twisted his torso around at the waist. He stabbed Pete in the back with two sharp knives.

Pete yelled out, "Fuck you, Buddy!"

Pete wrapped his slender body around the assassin, as he was a snake. His foe's body was shattered beyond repair, as the remains fell to the ground.

Bob and his enemy were running behind chest high crates, as they were in never-ending snipping match.

Bob had been setting mines around the battlefield, as the elite trooper had done as well.

Both warriors had set off the mines and the floor was starting to be mangled under the series of explosions.

The Urano sniper had to throw some floor spikes that gored through the enemy's foot. This caused him to be unable to dodge the impending assault. The trooper was destroyed in the explosion.

Billy was racing around his red colored trooper at amazing speed. He was moving at Mach three-hundred with such a grace that it was as if he had been this fast all along The farmer sped in an infinity symbol around his foe while firing a barrage of automatic laser rounds at the trooper. Billy had

utterly wretched the foe beyond repair.

Nearby, Kill Joy was using his power suit's advanced supercomputer to cause the trooper to harm itself.

The medic shouted, "Stop, hitting yourself." to the wounded trooper. Soon the trooper relented to death.

A voice that could be heard from overhead spoke, "That was just a warm-up to your hell! Try my new and improved combat mechs!

Deathmask saw that all of the mechs were green colored but he still felt uneasy, so he commanded, "Men, don't get sloppy here! They won't be as easy as the last ones!"

The nearest mech was over two-dozen feet and weighed at least ten tons. The mech was moving at the officer's speed, despite its large size.

Deathmask was starting to take blow after blow by the mech when he has finally had enough. He wraps around the machine at incredible speed, leaving slice after slice on the mechanical foe. The mech turns blue and heals itself whole again.

Deathmask spoke, "I will use the force from my Urano armor. My top speed is Mach three-hundred- and sixty! (Over forty percent the speed of light)!

The officer sliced the enemy's tough metal into oblivion, but the victory was just a false one as the mech turned blue.

The results weren't much better this time, as the same result had occurred.

The mech spoke, "Is that it?"

The mech formed back together again now with an orange tint to it.

"The voice spoke, "This batch isn't like the others since it updates its system to meet the needs during combat!"

Deathmask wasn't impressed as he found all the weakness in the mech's defenses,

Now the foe was in its final form.

The voice speaks, "Enough! You six have proven yourself ready for the big show!"

The remaining fighters vanished into thin air.
