Episode 14: Tetronian War - Part 4

Meanwhile, at the galaxy's farthest reaches, Tetra landed on planet Arc, a world she had long suspected of harboring loyal Tetronians. But instead of finding allies, she was met with a horrific scene: a ravaged planet, devoid of life, and scarred by genocide. Despite her exhaustive search, no survivors remained. Amidst the ruins, a distress signal caught her attention, beckoning her towards Earth. The message revealed a dire truth: Earth was under siege. Without hesitation, Tetra set course for the embattled planet. En route, she encountered the drifting remains of Teknight, a grim portent of the devastation to come. 

Back in the battle-scarred skies, DarkLight faced a brutal demise at the hands of a formidable female Tetronian. With a single, mighty punch, she shattered his dark light manipulation, dispelling his blinding particles and sundering his light and darkness powers. As she absorbed his abilities, DarkLight's form reverted to its human state, leaving him powerless and vulnerable in the face of death.

However, the female Tetronian's triumph was fleeting. Unbeknownst to her, Teknight had shrunk to a minuscule size, turned invisible, and infiltrated her internal organs. With a sudden, explosive burst, he erupted out of her body, unleashing a devastating blast that sent shockwaves through the battlefield. Meanwhile, the enormous Teknight, still reeling from a powerful punch delivered by a male Tetronian, stumbled and crashed to the ground with a deafening impact. As the male Tetronian prepared to strike again, Teknight swiftly counterattacked, unleashing his massive Xentrocurnia prime tech chainsaw. With a deafening roar, the chainsaw ripped through the male Tetronian's body, tearing him in half and sending his entrails splattering across the battlefield in a grisly, gruesome display.

In the heat of the battle, Kingpin met a gruesome demise at the hands of Tetron, a formidable male Tetronian warrior named after the fabled lost planet of Tetron. With a crushing blow to Kingpin's jaw, Tetron sent him soaring through the air. In a swift, simultaneous motion, Tetron seized Kingpin's leg mid-flight and yanked him with incredible force, decapitating him and tearing his body in two from the waist down. The severed half of Kingpin's torso was callously discarded, crumpling to the ground like a lifeless doll.

Meanwhile, Zipporah emerged victorious after a grueling battle, leveraging her intangibility to devastating effect. She phased through her opponent's body, extracted his skeleton, and incinerated his remains with a precise energy blast. 

Elsewhere, Stardust's battle against the Tetronian raged on, pushing her to the brink of defeat. Just as all seemed lost, Mimic arrived, bringing crucial reinforcement. United, they harnessed their combined strength to defeat the foe. But in a stunning turn, the Tetronian reconstituted, poised to strike Stardust down with a treacherous surprise attack. With a final, heroic act, Mimic unleashed his full might, sacrificing himself to alter their molecular structures and trigger a catastrophic explosion that obliterated the Tetronian. Stardust, consumed by shock and anguish, collapsed to her knees, overcome by grief. Instinctively, she unleashed a maelstrom of her powers, annihilating nearby enemies as she wept uncontrollably, her sorrow and fury intertwining in a devastating display.

Noticing Stardust's vulnerable state, Green, amidst the chaos of his own intense battle, sprang into action to shield her. As enemies converged on Stardust, still reeling from Mimic's sacrifice, Green swiftly intervened, placing himself between Stardust and the encroaching foes, his protective instincts kicking in to safeguard his comrade in grief.

As Blast battled the alien horde, a female Tetronian struck with lightning-fast ferocity, catching him off guard. She seized his head and slammed him into the debris with bone-crushing force, sending his body crashing to the ground. Despite his valiant struggles, Blast was powerless to resist. Teknight, witnessing his comrade's distress, rushed to intervene, but was swiftly engulfed by the alien onslaught. Meanwhile, Blast's final moments were a gruesome spectacle, as the female Tetronian pinned him down with her foot pressed cruelly against his shattered pelvis, before tearing him asunder with merciless precision, ripping his torso in two with a sickening crunch, and spilling his entrails onto the ground. His severed form, with blood and viscera dripping from his mangled spine, was then callously discarded, a grim testament to the Tetronian's unyielding ruthlessness.

Supreme, after a ferocious battle against a female Tetronian speedster, lay mortally wounded, his abdomen slashed open with surgical precision, his intestines spilling out like entrails from a butchered animal. His internal organs, now exposed to the harsh environment, quivered with each labored breath. Despite his critical condition and crippled healing abilities, Supreme refused to yield. With a fierce determination, he unleashed a devastating blast from his eyes, a final act of defiance. However, Tetrix countered with unrelenting brutality, clamping her hand over Supreme's face, ensuring the blast would become a deadly trap. The explosion tore Supreme's face apart, reducing it to a grotesque, pulpy mess, his eyes obliterated, his skull shattered, and his brain tissue splattered like gore-soaked confetti. The once-mighty Supreme now lay supine, his head a mangled, unrecognizable horror, a grim testament to Tetrix's unyielding ferocity.

ThunderBolt, facing off against the male Tetronian Tetro, met a grisly demise as Tetro's fission ability allowed him to grasp ThunderBolt's arms and tear him asunder with inhuman strength. ThunderBolt's body was ripped in two, his torso severed from his limbs, his internal organs spilling out in a gruesome display. In his final, agonized moments, ThunderBolt summoned a colossal lightning bolt from the heavens, but it proved futile against Tetro's unyielding power. 

Witnessing ThunderBolt's brutal slaughter, Nature's fury reached a boiling point, and she transformed into her most formidable incarnation, becoming one with the primal forces of nature. Consumed by vengeance, she unleashed a maelstrom of fury upon Tetro, tearing him limb from limb, his body disintegrating into a bloody, smoldering ruin. His lifeless corpse was then incinerated, reduced to a smoldering, charred husk. However, Nature's unbridled rage drew the attention of other Tetronian warriors, and she soon faced a formidable foe. A fierce Tetronian warrior unleashed a deafening thunderclap, vaporizing Nature's body into nothingness, her molecular structure disintegrated, leaving no trace of her existence.

As OLX and Madmat desperately tried to evacuate civilians, they confronted Tetris, the female Tetronian speedster responsible for Vox's brutal slaughter. Her twisted smirk ignited Madmat's fury, and he disregarded OLX's caution to focus on saving lives. With unbridled rage, Madmat charged at Tetris with incredible velocity, but she mirrored his movements with sadistic ease. The two collided in a blur of motion, until OLX intervened, delivering a powerful punch that sent Tetris flying across the ravaged landscape, her body crashing into a mangled heap of twisted metal and concrete. Undaunted, Tetris rapidly recovered and exploited her speed to create two identical clones of herself. 

The trio of Tetronian speedsters relentlessly pursued OLX and Madmat, their battle shaking the surroundings with deafening crashes and showers of gore. Despite their valiant efforts, Tetris and her clones overpowered the heroes. The real Tetris and her clone pinned OLX against a mangled vehicle, forcing him to witness Madmat's agonizing demise. One of them immobilized Madmat, then vibrated her hand at blinding speed, phasing half of his skeleton out of his body, his bones bursting through shattered skin like jagged spears, his internal organs spilling out in a gruesome cascade. Madmat's screams were silenced as his head was twisted from his shoulders, his eyes frozen in a permanent scream, his body a grotesquely deformed, blood-soaked husk. He collapsed in a pool of blood, his body gruesomely dismantled.

With her clones dissipating into nothingness, Tetris turned her attention to OLX, her eyes blazed with malevolent intent. She vibrated her hand with immense energy, shattering OLX's Curtechyian aura shielding and draining his speed. "Without your speed, you're nothing but a fragile human," Tetris sneered. "A pathetic relic of the lost Curtechyian race." 

As OLX's life force ebbed away, memories and Tetra's words about him holding back flooded his mind. On the cusp of death, a fierce determination ignited within him. When he opened his eyes, the immense energy crackling around him stunned Tetris. His body and eyes were charged with lightning and Curtechyian force energy, his veins bulging with electrified power. With a single, brutal thrust, OLX sent Tetris flying, her body crashing into a mangled heap of twisted metal and concrete. 

As she struggled to rise, which left her astonished by this new display of power. "What power is this? I want it", Tetris declared, attacking OLX with blinding speed. But OLX dodged her assault effortlessly. He seized her by the neck, his grip like a vice, and accelerated to faster-than-light speed. He slammed her against debris and obstacles, her body shattered like glass, her screams echoing through the air. Then, with a merciless flick, he tossed her aside like a broken doll. Recovering with severe, gruesome injuries, Tetris faced a barrage of rapid, merciless attacks from OLX, who struck from all sides with incredible speed. Each blow forced her against a building, her body cratered into the walls, her bones shattered like twigs. The final, devastating punches from OLX caused the structure to collapse on her, entombing her in a gruesome, bloody grave. Each attack drained Tetris of her speed and life force, ensuring her demise was permanent and agonizing.

OLX, overwhelmed by his newfound speed and energy, unleashed a maelstrom of destruction upon the alien creatures and Tetronians. His path was littered with the grotesquely disfigured bodies of his victims, some phased through with their screams silenced as their molecular structures disintegrated, leaving behind only a mist of blood and shattered bone. Others had their internal organs and skeletons ripped apart, their bodies contorting in impossible ways as they crumpled to the ground. Some exploded on impact, their bodies bursting into showers of gore and splintered bone.

Tetrix, a female speedster and twin sister of the deceased Tetris, chased OLX with a hunger for vengeance burning in her eyes. Their movements blurred with flashes of light, the air distorted by their incredible velocities. However, OLX's body began deteriorating under the strain of his speed, his skin cracking and bleeding, his muscles tearing, his eyes bulging from their sockets. He gasped for air, his lungs burning, his chest heaving with exhaustion.

Tetrix seized the opportunity, grasping OLX by the neck with a vice-like grip. OLX's gasps grew more desperate as her grip tightened, his vision blurring. Sensing her sister's death and knowing OLX was responsible, Tetrix prepared to deliver a fatal blow, her eyes blazing with malevolent fury. But before she could strike, Tetra intervened, her powerful force ripping Tetrix in half, her body torn asunder, her internal organs spilling out, her screams echoing through the air.

OLX passed out from exhaustion, saved by Tetra's timely intervention. As he fell, he made brief contact with Tetra, their eyes locking in a moment of understanding. Teknight shared a similar glance with Tetra, their bond forged in the heat of battle. With a nod, Tetra took off, leaving behind a trail of destruction and death, the consequences of their conflict hanging in the air like a challenge.

Teknight, now facing Tetron, observed the armor's origin with a mix of fascination and horror. "You will pay for your insolence," Tetron declared, advancing with a menacing stride, his eyes blazing with an otherworldly fury. Teknight fired a Tetrenium shot, but it bounced off Tetron's invulnerable form and shattered, the fragments embedding themselves in the surrounding flesh like razor-sharp shrapnel.

"Mere humans like you are unworthy of such technology," Tetron continued, his voice dripping with contempt, as he prepared for the confrontation. His body began to twist and contort, his limbs elongating like rubber, his skin stretching to the point of tearing.

As Tetron charged toward Teknight with a lethal strike, Teknight deftly avoided the blow, but not without Tetron's fist grazing his armor, leaving a trail of mangled metal. Teknight responded by unleashing a Tetrenite bomb and gas, the explosion rocking the ground, the gas spreading like a noxious cloud. But Tetron inhaled the gas, his body absorbing it like a sponge, and released steam from his mouth, the vapor carrying the stench of burning flesh.

With a sinister gaze, Tetron swiftly apprehended Teknight, seizing him by the neck, his grip like a vice, crushing the armor's metal like paper. "You'll die with that armor as I squeeze the life out of you," Tetron declared, compressing the armor with his bare hands, the metal creaking, the sound echoing through the air like a death knell.

Seizing the opportunity, Teknight injected Tetron with the Ultra Virus, the needle sinking deep into his skin, the virus coursing through his veins like liquid fire. The virus began to take effect immediately, weakening Tetron, his body beginning to distort, his skin stretching, his muscles tearing.

Tetron's grip relaxed, and Teknight broke free, his armor self-repairing, the metal mending itself like living tissue. "Courtesy of Tetroid's remains," Teknight remarked, as Tetron's condition worsened, his skin and hair falling apart, his body swelling, developing rashes and large boils, the pus from the boils melting his decaying skin like acid.

The surviving Tetronians watched in stunned silence as Tetron's body began to dissolve, his screams echoing through the air, his limbs disintegrating, his torso exploding into a mess of gore and entrails. "Taking advantage of your ignorance, I had to test your durability. Tetrenium and Tetrenite proved futile against you, but the Ultra Virus was the last resort," Teknight continued, as Tetron's remains disintegrated into a puddle of festering goo.

The remaining Tetronians exchanged nervous whispers, their concealed fear almost palpable. Teknight, sensing their terror through his advanced scans, seized the opportunity to broadcast a stark message over the speakers. With calculated bravado, he boasted about his ample supply of Ultra Virus, emphasizing that even if his reserves were depleted, his formidable Tekdroids were already infused with the deadly pathogen. The Tetronians were faced with a stark ultimatum: abandon Earth or succumb to annihilation.

Initially, the Tetronians resisted, fueled by skepticism and a lingering sense of superiority. However, as the reality of their situation sank in, they reluctantly acknowledged the authenticity of the threat. With a mixture of anger and humiliation, they vowed to retreat and regroup, their departure a temporary reprieve rather than a permanent surrender. "We will return when the time is right," they warned, their parting words laced with a menacing promise of retribution.

As Tony descended from midair, Mark's eyes blazed with a mix of anger and confusion. Amanda and Mark Junior lay motionless, their unconscious bodies a grim reminder of the chaos. "How long have you been hiding this from me?" Mark demanded, his voice trembling with rage. Hurt and offended by the secrecy, he yelled, "Does Mom know about this, Dad? Is there any normal person in this family?"

Tony's calm demeanor only fueled Mark's fury. "Mark, I can explain," he said, trying to soothe his son while placing a reassuring hand on his shoulder. But before he could continue, Tetra arrived, her eyes lighting up with relief upon seeing her family safe.

The moment of reunion was shattered when Tony was struck from behind by a powerful energy blast. The attack burst through his chest, sending his heart crashing to the ground with a sickening splat. Mark's eyes froze in terror as he watched his father's life slip away, his body crumpling like a puppet with severed strings.

Mark swiftly caught his dying father, trying to hold him up, but Tony's body was a limp, bloody ragdoll. "Dad! Dad!!! Please don't leave me!" Mark pleaded, his voice trembling with tears. Tony's weak voice barely whispered, "Read...my journal...Mark..." before his eyes glazed over, his body going still.

Mark's anguish turned to rage as he watched his father die. Tetra pinpointed the source of the attack and rushed toward it with fierce resolve. She confronted Tetrox, tearing him apart with unrelenting force. His organs and shattered remains fell to the ground, his screams echoing through the air as he was dismembered.

Tetra's fists ripped through Tetrox's torso, pulling out his entrails and tossing them aside like trash. His limbs were torn from their sockets, his bones shattered and crushed. Tetra's rage was unrelenting, her fury fueled by her loss. She shredded Tetrox's body, leaving nothing but a bloody, pulpy mass.

But even that was not enough. She tore through the air, her fists blazing with energy, and obliterated Tetrox's remains, leaving nothing but a smoldering crater. The victory was hollow, her heart heavy with grief and rage. Tetra descended from the sky, her shoulders slumped in sorrow, her eyes burning with tears. She mourned the loss of her husband, her partner, and her friend, the weight of her grief crushing her.
