Hercules ran towards Adam who fired two plasma bolts from his hand cannon at him. When the plasma bolt came in contact with Hercules's chest it dispersed as if it was a lightbulb malfunctioning. Hercules grabbed hi. by the neck punching him five times before throwing him to the side. Adam quickly recovered. Even though Adam only had one eye liberalism. His sight in his other eye was started to turn blurry and dim. Adam circled green and black energy around our feet which started to turn to a blur. He sprinted toward Hercules traveling at least six hundred thousand miles per hour. He jumped in the air kicking Hercules in his chest, doing absolutely no damage to him. Hercules grabbed Adam's leg ripping in off making green fluids and blood spray all over the ground. Adam pushed himself away from Hercules by boosting off his chest smashing into the ground. Adam only now had one leg. He started to crawl away like a worm. Hercules walked up to Adam kicking him in the face, making blood squirt out of his mouth knocking out some of his white metallic teeth. "You are nothing but a weapon." Hercules kicked Adam in the ribs making him smash through a nearby boulder. Adam could no longer see. His body was now beyond repairs. It took to much damage. Adam somehow got on his feet only using one leg. He lifted his leg up causing green and black energy to gather around it. A giant wave of energy came out of his leg. The giant wave of energy brightened the entire area. Hercules was engulfed by the giant wave of green and black energy.
A giant explosion occurred causing a mushroom cloud to rise into the air. Adam took a deep breath hoping that Hercules was eliminated turning to nothing but ash. Adam smashes his head a boulder allowing him to regain his eyesight once more. His vision was red because of the blood that leaked from his head into his eye. Adam looked closely at the smoke and saw a humanoid figure walk out of the smoke. It was Hercules. He did not have one scratch or bruise on his body. His body was covered in dirt and smoldering ash from the explosion. Hercules wiped the dirt and smoldering ash from hid body with a piece of his lower body clothing which was a pants with a chain made from Night stone wrapped around it. "Tch." "Was that your trump card?" Hercules threw a beam at Adam's other leg which was taken off like a lego piece. Adam collapsed on the ground cracking the fragments of his mechanical spinal cord. Hercules walked up to Adam hovering over him. "All you Resistance bastards are going to die." "Starting with you." Hercules turned his hand into a fist getting ready to punch a hole through Adam's face. Adam's eye started to flash red. A red shockwave occurred pushing Hercules back. Adam began to levitate floating in the air. "You were wrong about that being my trump card. "My master placed a powerful canister in my heart containing a very lethal poisonous gas that could wipe out any life form effect by the gas." "It is called Vile Gas." "Even if I die, I will take your life, as well as your comrade's." Adam punched a hole inside of his own chest pulling out his heart. He ripped open his artificial heart which was only used as a sac to hold the Vile Gas in place. The canister was a very small one with red gas inside of it. When Adam was about to push the button on the canister to release the gas, Hercules jumped in the air grabbing Adam by the head-crushing his head like a grape. Blood and green fluid leaked into Hercules's hand.
Adam dropped the canister out of his head making it fall to the ground. Adam's body dropped on the ground like a bag of cement. Hercules levitated to the ground examining his body. Hercules looked at the canister on the ground and noticed that it was cracked open. Red gas started to ooze out. Hercules tried to avoid the Red Gas but he didn't. The Red Gas was sucked inside of his nose into his lungs infecting him. No matter how tough or strong you were you would be infected by the Vile Gas. The first signs of having Vile Disease was blood in urine and stool. A couple of days later you would find yourself coughing up blood and vomiting. The second stage was brain trauma causing hypertension. It would also turn your body pale with red veins all around your body. A fever will fall onto your body causing your body and organs to fall you. Then the last stage was death. Your heart would explode killing you instantly. There was no cure for Vile Disease.
Hercules kicked Adam's body which sailed me to the air crashing on the ground. Even though Adam's body was destroyed he wasn't. He was AI. Hercules covered his face trying not to inhale any more Vile Gas. He looked at Adam's body and noticed that it was twitching. Static Energy raised out of Adam's body. Adam left The City Of Ruins heading back to his master, Cornelius Advent. Hercules picked up his cloak pulling around his body. Rx-23 watched the entire battle. Ever since Hercules went to work with Rx-23 he hadn't heard him talk once. Both Hercules and Rx-23 were getting ready to take their leave from The City Of Ruins. Hercules would later die for. being infected by Vile Disease. Rx-23 should no signs of emotion or feeling because he was actually like a puppet on strings being controlled by the puppet master. He was being controlled by another Council Of Fate member named Cruz. Cruz was famous for using powers making people do things to satisfy his laugh. He was controlled Rx-23. He placed strings from spiritual silk which were almost unbreakable. They were in his spinal cord.
Cross's Location...
By the time Cross and his family and friends made it to the giant hole where the Ruined Temple used to be, Hercules and Rx-23 were gone. Jesse looked at the ground and saw fragments of the Hercules mask. He picked up the pieces of showed it to Orion who showed it to Cross.
