Chapter 25: CHAPTER 24
"I warned you" general Zack said proudly "but now you have tasted my patient, and left me with no choice."
"What do you mean? Let's get out of here." Rex said to the general, he couldn't believe his ears.
"I won't leave until I raise this place and these barbarians to the dust." Zack chuckled and typed something on his control pad.
"No" Rex said aloud. The people in the arena might have heard that as they started running helter-shelter. Mother's calling out to their children, brothers calling out sister and wife calling out husband. The whole place was in total disarray.
"You can't do this"
"Watch me Rex, just watch and learn" the general said and Rex stared at him thoughtfully.
"Now I understand. You wanted to destroy this place all along, it was never your intension to report back home that this place actually exist." Rex pointed accusingly.
"Bravo. Look who's finally gotten smart." The general said "Anadan is the only place where life is meant to be and should be. I was born to keep it that way."
Rex stared into the eyes of his co-solders standing next to the general; they were new cadets who would do nothing but to follow orders. None of them met his gaze, they were in the same league with the general and Rex knew he could do nothing, they must follow orders. Rex for the second time that day missed being captain general.
"I won't let you do this; I don't mind to die trying." Rex pointed his gun at them with determination.
The general chuckled. "This is hilarious; can't you see you are outnumbered?" Rex stared around him. The keepers under the general's command were all pointing their guns at him.
Rex cursed and regretted for once in his life that his keepers were not with him.
"You don't have a choice but to surrender, even with your speed glow you can't defeat all these keepers. The extractor power has limits." Rex spat angrily at the Generals words. He reached out for his powers again but like before, he felt empty. If only he could glow, the general's warning would have been meaningless. Rex was about to drop his shocker gun when the sticky dark mud swallowed up the whole keepers, about a hundred of them.
Rex turned behind and was surprise to see the queen in the pit ring. Her eyes were ablaze with a desert sun and her dark hair was now white and was dazzling like a pure diamond.
"Run Rex. Run." whispered a soft voice in Rex's head. Rex was sure that those words belong to the queen, but he hadn't seen her moved her lips, her lips were locked when she said that.
"How did...you..., what...are" Rex stammered and stayed put. "No I won't." He said firmly. Just then, an icy spare pieced his black armor and embedded itself in his heart. Rex shrieked with anguish and held the icy spare.
"Why?" he asked the queen who caught him before his kneels could reach the ground. "It wasn't me" Rex heard her sobbed. From the corner his eyes he caught the king making another spare out of the air.
"Where you go I go. We die together." The queen whispered. Before Rex closed his eyes to darkness, he saw a vague image of the queen stabbing herself with a dagger.
"Kneel" the king's voice thundered and the crowd shuddered. The whole place shock as the king's whole body disintegrated into white smoke and floated down to the pit ring.
"I have waited for this day" the king was saying "now that it has come you would serve my purpose" he finished and laughed wickedly, just as General Zack and his companion, held their throat and struggled for breath. Misty air surrounded their head and chocked them to death
