A portal opened blinding everyone in the room and two figures stepped out, as the portal closed one of the men spoke out,
"There should be more of you, where are the rest? I count only eight."
After a few seconds of silence, Fortress spoke from the back of the room,
"Sorry to let your expectations down, who are you? I am Charlie Mills but you can call me Fortress."
One of the men stepped forward, the light shone over him revealing shock blue hair, eyes and tattoos all over his face and right shoulder he spoke out to the group facing him that were still in the shadows,
"My name is Arec Logg, but you all may call me Mask and this is my friend, Cross"
He pointed back towards the other man who had stepped out of the portal,
"We are from the future sixty years exactly, 2091, where the war is still raging on, and we are still losing. We've come back to change things so hopefully less of you will die. First, who exactly are in here?"
Another man spoke out,
"I am Silvar, a geneti. Here with me is Frostflare, Volt, Howl, Weaver, Ordnance, Dragon and you've already met Fortress, you're looking at the remaining leaders of geneti in A.S.H's southern hemisphere."
He raise his hands to display the men and women behind him, sitting and standing,
"And what can you two do? Are you geneti? Meta?"
"I am a geneti, one of the last and Cross is a hybrid, I don't believe you will have witnessed the first wave of them. The hybrids are geneti who were taken in and brainwashed, given cybernetic implants and new abilities with the intention of hunting us out, we captured Cross and returned him to our side, many others though, many of my friends we did not."
The room shook and the lights flickered, stones fell from the ceiling and then a piercing siren sounded. Silvar turned to the group, speaking out to them,
"They're here! They must have sensed the portal! Dragon, Fortress you two head down to the tombs, take the people through the mine doors we have to leave!" Volt, Weaver, Frostflare and Ordnance, you're with me, we have to give them time, frankly I'm sick of hiding here, time to show these aliens what happens when you mess with the leaders of A.S.H!"
"Me and Cross are with you two, Silvar, we can help."
Arec stepped forward with his and out and Silvar shook it.
When Dragon and Fortress had left the room the group proceeded to the battlements, when they got there they lined up looking out over the mountain, Weaver drew her daggers, Volt primed, Ordnance created a psionic suit, Frostflare coated half and half fire and ice, Mask turned invisible and Cross put up a force-field as well as pulling a futuristic cannon off his back. Lightening spread across the skies and thunder roared, rain started to fall and droplets rolled off their hair and skin before splashing into the ground. Cross yelled out,
"They're coming! ETA thirty seconds."
Still nothing ahead,
"Look to the skies!"
Pods dropped from the skies and into the ground, out of them poured Alyrix beings, hundreds of them, some nearly 20 foot tall and others like spiders.
"Now!"
Silvar shouted as he projected a sphere of magnetic energy into the middle of their pods which pulled the walls together and collapsed inside them selves. Volt shot off a bolt of electricity and entered a spark dash, Weaver was close behind him with her daggers, dodging plasma blasts and swords, diving through the jaws of the creatures and climbing up them, Ordnance coated himself completely in his armour and created a gigantic psionic axe and jumped into the midst of the aliens causing a shock wave, slicing and smashing the creatures down, Frostflare froze the creatures at their feet and encased them totally in ice while throwing blasts of fire out towards the enemies, Cross was high on a tower, blasting aliens with his cannon and pushing them back with his force-field and Mask phased through them ripping them apart as he ran. Bolts of brilliant pink electricity were flying across the courtyard and battlements as Volt shot them out into enemy clusters and Weaver stood on the rampart slicing through the smaller creatures while evading every attack, and running up walls. Statues of ice littered the battleground which Ordnance punched shattered with his axe. Whatever metal Silvar could find he would shred and charge and project into the Alyrix like a wall of a thousand splinters, blasts of energy showered the ground from above and parts of Alyrix littered the floor. After a few minutes a deafening roar made the ground shake and the courtyard started to collapse, the group dodged and dived and jumped to avoid the concrete falling beneath them. All was silent for a few seconds and then gigantic and armoured claws reached out of the abyss, a monster emerged, nearly 60 foot tall with a slanted, pointed face with 5 eyes, it's body was coated in salvaged material, bolts and plasma, it stood, over the chasm beneath it all four feet on the ground and it's massive teeth dripping, bearing down on them. Lightening striked around the group and the rain increased, the wind billowing.
"War-Naught! Take cover!!"
Volt shouted, and the group dived into whatever cover they could find as hundreds of lasers tore through the walls and an energy blast destroyed the outer gate completely.
