Ascension The Last Heir

Chapter 09

Meanwhile in the Control Room, Dylan and Victor managed to reach Control Room. There they witness two lesser and a huge Draiczuins guarding the door.

The huge Draiczuin seems to be distracted by a comm transmission while the two lesser keep a close eye on things. "Distract the Draiczuin while I take care of..." said Victor before interrupted by Dylan.

"Are you kidding me? How about you take care of that, draiki thing, whatever and I blast those other guys?" replied Dylan. "Alright then." Replied Victor. The two engage.

Victor managed to get the jump on the huge Draiczuin while Dylan blasts one of the lesser guards but the other manages to get close to him and begins to attack him with its spear, Victor leaps back and jumps with full force, striking into the huge Draiczuin's heart causing it to turn into ashes, then he shoots the other who was attacking Dylan, "I had that." said Dylan.

"I'm sure you did, my prince." replied Victor sarcastically. The two managed to head inside where they see a huge alien computer which seems to be the prime controls for all ships.

 Victor Cyrus uses the computer and tries to self-destruct the Legion's fleet but fails continuously with no knowledge of using Legion technology. "Dammit...." said Victor furiously. "You need any help?" asked Dylan.

"Like you would know anything about Legion's technology?" asked Victor. "It does kinda looks familiar...hold on, (he gets in front of Victor and begins to operate the computer) and there...and that's it... and done, you’re welcome by the way." said Dylan who manages to activate self-destruction on all ships except the ones that have landed.

 "How did you know?" asked Victor. "This computer is very similar to the ones tha.......wait a min... these stuff.... that’s what Arthur was building or the guys he was working for." said Dylan as he looks through the Computer. "Explain, now!" said Victor.

"Okay back in the days, I used to work for a guy named Arthur, he was a small-time crime lord but then he started to work with a company, MORPHfYS Corporate, I think.

With their firepower and technology, he was unstoppable but he needed someone with technological expertise without the backing of the company to avoid backstabs from them, that's how I got to work with him, the technologies I used are in fact the same as the one legion uses, in fact the same." said Dylan.

"So Legion does provide their technology to humans, but you said something about Arthur was building?" said Victor.

"Well, the company didn't just give these machines for free, each time they would ask us certain stuff which were pretty air tight to steal for them, I even kept a track of the equipments they asked over the years." said Dylan (Dylan shows it through the computer.

"It's a, a beacon... The Legion was called to Earth. Oh no." replied Victor who begins to head out of the room. "We need to stop them before they could get their hands on..." said Victor.

“Hold on, hands on what?" asked Dylan as he follows him "Dra'king." replied Cyrus as he heads out of the room.

Meanwhile on the Ancient ruins under Legion's Base, Irvikh and his minions proceed through the ruins where they meet Lucas Rutherford, the CEO of MORPHfYS Corporations who was part of legion all along.

"At last, it is an honor to meet you my lord. Said Lucas. "Spare me your babblings Lucas, tell me, where is it?" asked Irvikh.

"Right this way, but you have to know, we haven't gotten any response from the teams we sent inside." said Lucas.

 "Only with the sword of the Dra'king anyone can pass through." said Irvikh as he proceeds into the ruins. "Never in a million, would I have thought such power resides in a place like this,

still I worked quite hard to bring you up to this point, you know?" said Lucas as he walks with Irvikh along with few of Legionnaires.

 Irvikh completely ignores everything he says and keeps walking through the ruins, as they proceed, they find many Bones and flesh splattered everywhere.

"What could have done this?" asked Irvikh. "The void of the Dra'king himself, his darkness still lingers in this place, forbidding anyone who lingers here." said Irvikh.

"So, as long as we have his sword, nothing can harm us right?" said Lucas.

Irvikh ignores and proceeds, then just as he walks, he comes across the door which is locked by bindings of the Empire. But before he could draw his sword, he hears a tremor within the walls.

"What was that?" asked Lucas, then suddenly a huge demonic being emerges from the shadows and stabs Lucas with its claws and carries him. His face begins to emerge and is none other than Blake, who looks rather huge and demonic and twisted.

Irvikh draws his sword and points it at Blake. He tries to control him using the sword. Blake tries to shake it off by coming closer to engage him but ultimately falls under Irvikh's control as he kneels down to him.

“That is quite fascinating, I think it was one of the mercenaries we sent down there.” Said Lucas.

Irvikh then proceeds, he inserts the sword inside the pillar in front of the door which opens the huge door.

He then proceeds inside where he finds the Tomb of the Dra'king along with his treasures resides. "Finally, after 500 years, this is where they locked you up." said Irvikh.

Then he proceeds closer to the tomb and opens it and finds all the belongings of the Dra'king buried inside.

Several Moments pass as Victor and Dylan arrive at the entrance of the tomb after being fully equipped and ready to face Irvikh where they meet Blake, now under the control of Irvikh.

 "Is that a person?" asked Victor. "A friend, actually, guy's name is Blake, met him a long time ago, he used to be quite nice." said Dylan.

 Victor stares at him for his comment. "Hey, Blake, wow you look big, anyway sorry about your brother though, you know me, right?" said Dylan.

 Blake doesn't respond, then he begins to get ready to fight. "It is pointless to talk to him, he is fully under the Legion's control, you know, that right?" said Victor.

"It was worth a try." said Dylan as both of them draw out their weapons. Victor leaps and strikes rapidly while leaning back and forth.

 Blake defend some of his attack but despite getting hit by Victor's strikes, Blake thrashes on the ground to knock Victor down. Dylan uses his jetpack sends drones to blast him. This makes Blake furious as he grabs the pillar on the front and throws it to Dylan.

Dylan however, manages to fly around and blast him with a big energy strike using his weapons. This knocks Blake down giving Victor the opportunity to stab him in the head.

Dylan becomes relieved when he stabs him thinking he had successfully defeated him but despite stabbing him in the head Blake gets back up and takes the sword from his head and throws it. "s**t, we need to come up with a plan." said Victor as he climbs Blake and grabs the sword and lands in the back of the ground near Blake.

"I am trying, he is like the freaking Thanos or something, let's wear him down then." said Dylan who keeps blasting him while Victor strikes him without getting caught.

Suddenly Dylan comes up with a way to defeat him. "Wait I think I know how." said Dylan. "I am all ears." said Victor. "Exactly!" replied Dylan. "What?" asked Victor. "His ears, here you go." said Dylan as he throws a pair of grenades to Victor Cyrus.

Then Victor catches the grenades realizes begins to attack. Dylan absorbs the full energy of the armour and blasts at Blake.

This knocks Blake down as it damages him critically, Victor rushes towards him and puts the grenades inside both his ears.

Then he pulls the plug and leaps back, the grenades blasts and explodes his head, Blake's body then falls down. "Yeah baby, that's how we roll." said Dylan.

"Don't start celebrating yet, come on, let's finish this, once and for all." said Victor.

The two venture into the entrance and into Dra'king's Tomb where they notice Irvikh now wielding the Armor of Dra'king.

"I've been expecting you, and you (looks at Dylan) My, my, a descendent of the Duke?? Is that all you got? I am.... thoroughly disappointed." said Irvikh with a grin.

"For a guy who lived more than 500 years, you don't look so tough too." replied Dylan doubtfully. "Are you really this desperate Victor? To hand over your empire to this... fool rather than a tyrant." said Irvikh."Says the guy who just robbed a grave, and by the way, prince or no, I came here to do one thing, take you down." replied Dylan.

 "So, you came here for revenge then..." replied Irvikh as Victor interrupts him.”The power of the Dra'king is too much for any being, even for you." said Victor.

 "I am no ordinary being, am I?" replied Irvikh.

"Enough talk, let's finish this once and for all." replied Dylan.
