“God’s Gift” Jeremiah Vastrix stands in the middle of a room while putting on a black bodysuit. It’s the suit that goes underneath the Hammer Industries Shocktrooper carapace armor. Not only does it prevent chafing, but there are several places where it acts as an interface between the armor and the man.
Jeremiah sighs as he begins to put on the carapace armor like everyone else in the room. He won’t be wearing a helmet like everyone else, but the HUD display that they have will be available in his cybernetic eyes and communications in his head.
They have discovered the location of the Cloning facility where Tarrasques were being cloned and sent to kill Jeremiah Vastrix. It was no surprise that the facility was in Africa. Tunis, Tunisia to be exact. So, Jeremiah has decided to lead a strike team to take the facility down. They were at a Hammer Industries security base in Cagliari. A city on an island to the West of Italy.
The idea is for an air assault onto the facility. There will be several air strikes as defensive emplacements on the outside of the facility will be taken out and Jeremiah will be a part of the ground team that will land in a safe locale and enter the facility to destroy the research with a virus and set up explosive charges to wipe out the last remaining Tarrasques from the face of the Earth.
It’s a Hammer Industries owned facility so fellow Shocktroopers will be defending the facility. They have been marked as enemy on the HUD so that friend from foe can be detected.
Jeremiah takes a break from putting armor on, having armored his legs and pelvis so far. He lights up a cigarette, blowing smoke into the air. The Captain of the strike team gives Jeremiah a dirty look, having armored up everything but his helmet. He bums a smoke from Jeremiah, lighting it up as he takes a seat. His name? Captain Gilbert Harris.
CAPTAIN HARRIS: So, you have made it to the End of Days final round? Who are you facing?
Jeremiah just smiles as he smokes his cigarette, seeing as how other Shocktroopers are getting finished armor I guess up and leaving the room.
JEREMIAH VASTRIX: We don’t really have to do this.
CAPTAIN HARRIS: You are the CEO of the company and heading out on a strike. It’s unusual. I just thought I would get into your head space to see what you’re thinking.
JEREMIAH VASTRIX: Alright and you know who I’m facing then, I’m sure. I face a man named David Carloni, otherwise known as Death Trap. He’s the MCCW World champion. He thinks that he’s a big deal, but I just don’t think so.
CAPTAIN HARRIS: He is their World champion so you would think that he would be kind of a big deal.
Jeremiah nods, blowing smoke into the air and flicking ashes onto the floor. He taps his right temple with a grin.
JEREMIAH VASTRIX: There’s nothing that this database cannot handle. I did defeat Saint Rocco after all. I didn’t really think I was going to be able to do that.
CAPTAIN HARRIS: You have to take this seriously to be able to win. Just like this raid is going to be serious. We’re going to be killing Shocktroopers loyal to Cardinal Mariano Urizar. I know their loyalties are different than our own, but it will still be fellow security. It won’t be pleasant.
JEREMIAH VASTRIX: I know. I am taking this as serious as I can. I need to be able to end the Tarrasque threat before one of them gets lucky and actually kills me. I’m pretty sure that the Cardinal is part of the old guard that wants me out of the company by any means necessary. I just can’t prove it yet.
Jeremiah finishes the cigarette and returns to putting the carapace armor on with the Captain’s assistance. When finished, Jeremiah strikes a pose in his white carapace armor minus the helmet. His eyes gleam blue as smiles.
JEREMIAH VASTRIX: I’m going to end the threat that Tarrasque represents before I can tackle the old guard.
Captain Harris shakes his head with a chuckle.
CAPTAIN HARRIS: You have a long road ahead of you.
JEREMIAH VASTRIX: Not really. We’re a short flight to Tunisia and then another short flight to the final night of the End of Days. Shall we go?
Captain Harris flicks his cigarette butt away and stands up with a laugh.
CAPTAIN HARRIS: We shall.
Jeremiah Vastrix and Captain Harris are the last to leave the room. They head outside where three transport helicopters wait along with several attack choppers as well. Jeremiah walks by one of the attack choppers on his way to the transport. He rubs a hand along a missile launcher.
JEREMIAH VASTRIX: This will make short work of any defensive emplacements that the facility will have. Just like I will make short work of Death Trap. He’s getting on in age now. He won’t be able to stand against my youthful assault.
CAPTAIN HARRIS: Aren’t you in your thirties? You’re no spring chicken, you know.
JEREMIAH VASTRIX: I feel like I’m in my twenties now with all of the work done to help recover from injuries inflicted by Belial in North Korea. Maybe I should fly one of these babies…
The pilot looks like he’s about to get out of the chopper when Captain Harris shakes his head no.
CAPTAIN HARRIS: Maybe it’s better if you remain with the ground forces. To ensure that the job gets done on the inside of the facility. Would hate to miss a Tarrasque and have your fiancé pay the price for it.
Jeremiah quickly considers it and motions to the pilot to remain in his seat.
JEREMIAH VASTRIX: Yeah, you’re right. I want to make sure that Tarrasque is wiped off of the face of the planet. Just like I want to make sure that Death Trap is defeated so I win the tournament.
CAPTAIN HARRIS: What title are you going to go for?
Jeremiah just shrugs, making his way toward the transport. Other shocktroopers are loading up still, getting into their harnesses in the cargo area. Jeremiah lights up one last cigarette before the journey to Tunisia begins.
JEREMIAH VASTRIX: Death Trap wrestled before and had a scare of head injuries. Maybe a few knocks to the ole noggin will make him remember that he’s scared to get injured and make him tap right out. I don’t know how he plans on making me tap when I can just shut off pain receptors.
CAPTAIN HARRIS: You can’t change the course of blood to keep it flowing to your brain.
JEREMIAH VASTRIX: That is true. I cannot do that. So, I will have to keep out of Death Trap’s Death Trap.
CAPTAIN HARRIS: We do need to go. Are you finished with that yet?
Jeremiah smirks as he flicks the cigarette butt away.
JEREMIAH VASTRIX: Let’s do this shit!
Jeremiah Vastrix and Captain Gilbert Harris walk up the back ramp of a transport and get locked in. Jeremiah looks around at the faceless helmets of the shocktroopers, his cybernetic eyes piercing the veil of their helmets to see to their actual faces. He commits these to memory as they will be the lives that he depends upon to help him raid the cloning facility.
JEREMIAH VASTRIX: This isn’t going to be an easy battle. We might be killing friends in this, but they are on the wrong side of history. Will we regret taking their lives? Yes. Does it have to be done? If they will not surrender, yes. Are we ready to end this once and for all?
Jeremiah gets a resounding “Yes!” In response. He feels the ground give way as the choppers take off into the air and begin their journey to Tunisia. Jeremiah swallows hard, knowing that if they release their army of Tarrasques that it might be the death of them all. Time to nut up or shut up…
