The War That Transcends Timelines - 72 Zero Vs Kyle

Time: 2 hours and 55 minutes until Phase one

Location: HMS dreadnought’s Arena

POV: Kyle’s

‘Dammit’ I curse, the fight has been going on for 5 minutes yet no clear winner is shown, ‘Splitch’ I cut in Zero’s arm, lightly a shallow cut was made, but at the same 4 steel needles penetrate my clothing into my arm that was holding the sword, we, of course, weren’t battling to the death, these are minor injuries but can hamper your combat abilities drastically. I switch my sword to my other hand, Zero looked surprised but didn’t spend too much thinking about it, I take out My Tanto and put it in my right arm, I charge right at him, using both my weapons to assault two sides at the same time, causing Zero to drop his bundle of needles and take out a second knife to defend himself. Just as he was going to block My two weapons did I use a feint with my Katana to strike above together with my Tanto, forcing him to cross his knives in a to absorb the impact, but than Instead of using my Katana and Tanto I only used my Katana. Zero anticipated this making one knife horizontal to absorb the Katana’s attack while the other blocks the Tanto, his eyes glanced at my Tanto, ”I admit defeat!” Zero shouted, he saw that the Tanto wasn’t going to be used to stab or slash but to be thrown, as my fingers hold the tip of the Tanto instead of the grip. He wouldn’t be able to defend himself against the throw, the throw was also from below, thrown with a backhand to gain more speed and strength in close combat, he clearly had lost even though he anticipated the 99% of the attacks, he didn’t take into consideration that I had the skill to throw the Tanto, as that was almost impossible.

”Well fought Constantine.” I praise him, ”Thank you sir, It seems I am not your match.” He replied humbly. The crowd was still trying to process that just happened, in less than 8 minutes it came to an end, but he took less than a few seconds to beat the Silver skulls, this means that the Black hand had very High mastery in combat, the Injuries were minor, just that they hit nerves and muscles used for fine motoric functions, with some treatment it will heal in a few days, I suffered more of those injuries thanks to the needles, these Injuries I inflicted on Constantine(Zero) won’t compromise phase one which he leads. I take of my Gas mask, showing my normal white mask covering my left half of my face, ”IN THE MARSHALL WE TRUST!” all people saluted when they saw the man in front of them, it was none other than their leader, admiration heighten seeing their leader being stronger than their number one gold skull and Silver skull, 8 Red skulls watching by the side were admiring their Marshall’s prowess. ”Lets go Nova.” I said while walking out of the arena. People made a path for me to walk out, ”Lets head for the bridge.” I continued to say as we walk out of the Arena and head for the Elevator.

Time: 2 hours and 45 minutes until Phase one

Location: 1st Industrial City, population 120,000, Lab XII

POV: Mackensen’s

”Warning, breach of safety detected at lab XII, containment protocol 4 Initiated, closing all airtight doors, opening all Bio-Chemical safety areas, activating secondary and tertiary Vents, all personnel please remain in your area, anyone located at the gas exposure must seek a Biochemical safety areas immediately, if you are exposed to any gas or chemicals please report it.” The commander overseeing the 1st Industrial city said routinely over the intercom. I dash for a Bio-Chemical Safety area next of me, in it were 8 other people, some cleaners and scientists, the scientists looked around awkwardly, ‘This is the reason I do not like visiting this place, this is the 6th time this happens in one months time.’ I sigh dejectedly, 30 minutes pass in the room when the all-clear was given again, men in fully enclosed suits walk out of the room where the pipe was broken, I started to walk to Stefan’s (Adelger’s Apprentice) office, ‘Knock knock’ I knocked on the door and opened it, ”Ah Mackensen, you are here for the checkup again are you?” Stefan asked with a smile, ”Yes” I just replied flatly. ”Ah it is going great! We have almost been able to produce the Sarin gas! Currently, we have prototypes which are close but not close enough, also we have problems with equipment being unable to handle the production process due to erosion and extreme heat….” Stefan talked on and on without stopping, ”Stop!” I ordered him, ”Ah excuse me I got carried away.” Stefan laughed awkwardly, He handed me the report, I took it and headed for the exit, ”Stefan whatever you do, like our Marshall said, do not touch them or edit the SS created virus Nr.266.” I said harshly, Lab XII also stores the most potent weapons we found, our Marshall grades their danger, he could accurately classify gasses and Bio-weapons but with Virus Nr.266 which we found in an underground SS lab he could not classify nor Identify hence the SSS level of security around it, I also have to remind Stefan to never touch or meddle with SSS grade Bio-chemical weapons.

I walk out ‘I never want to meet that crazy person again, that glint in his eyes trouble me.’ With that thought, I board the train back to Central(HQ).

Time: 1 Hour Until Phase 1

Location: HMS Dreadnought’s Bridge

POV: Kyle’s

”Marshall! we are entering British airspace, we are now turning off all external and most internal lights, sorry for the inconvenience.” the captain said, ”Don’t worry, I am not bothered by this.” I said while activating My Wanderers headgear’s Night vision. ”Crew this is your captain speaking we are going silent, no light permitted unless, inside the hull, No loud sounds permitted, All gunners and active crew make your last checks and ready the main batteries.” the captain ordered over the intercom, ‘This will be the last moment of relaxation after this everyone will be tense and ready for battle.’ I thought dejectedly, the Black, Silver, Gold and Red skulls have all seen large amounts of combat through missions, the white skulls as well but the least of them all, Ravens as well.

‘This will be the first step to war, the spark that will light the largest fire the world has ever seen, we shall win!’ I roared in my heart, a bit of anticipation and emotion came back but seen subsided again.
