“URGH… IS THAT ALL YOU THRACKERS GOT?!” Kaze shouted as he cut down every single Kren that advanced on his position.

  Wielding only a single Pulsar Saber whilst still encased inside of his ‘commandeered’ suit of

  Voltairan Knight Battle Armor, Kaze heroically fought off the increasing Kren threat with Lero fighting just as bravely not too far away from his position.

  Lero mindlessly roared as he cut down two Kren before driving the tip of his golden bladed Pulsar Saber through a third’s chest, breaking through its secret biomechanical armored chest plate, killing the poor unknown alien life-form that was imprisoned within its horrifying shell.

  Kicking the third Kren off his blade, Lero took a moment to collect himself as he looked over the countless Kren that both he and Kaze had slew in their desperate attempt at saving the innocent life-cycles of the still escaping secret slaves of Emperor Voltair.

  Looking over at Kaze, who had just cut the head off of another Kren, Lero called out, “JORRAKAN!”

  Before Lero could call out for Kaze again he was attacked by another Kren.

  Slashing its chest before fatally slashing its throat, Lero lowered his scaly and bruised brow and shouted, “JORRAKAN!!!!”

  Hearing Lero’s call, Kaze headbutted a Kren before turning to him and asking, “WHAT?!”

  “WE HAVE TO STOP THE KREN BEFORE THEY LEAVE THE SCRAP ZONE!” Lero shouted before taking on another trio of Kren.

  “URGH… NO THRACKING RAXX, YOU RANNUKAN SKOGGER! RAH!” Kaze furiously returned before cutting down two more Kren. “TELL ME SOMETHING ELSE THAT I DON’T ALREADY THRACKING KNOW!!!”

  Glaring at Kaze, Lero looked away from him and past the Kren Flood to see the hole in the ground that they were coming out of.

  Narrowing his eyes, Lero said, “There… THERE!!!”

  “WHAT?!” Kaze shouted as he drove the tip of his Pulsar Saber through the center of a Kren’s abdomen.

  “URGH… OVER THERE!” Lero pointed out as he fought off more Kren. “THE KREN ARE COMING FROM THAT HOLE! URGH… RAH! OVER THERE!!!”

  Looking to where Lero was pointing at, Kaze caught sight of the ‘Kren Hole’ with his Battle Helmet’s enhanced vision.

  “I SEE IT!” Kaze relayed back to Lero before taking on a few more Kren.

  “WE HAVE TO CLOSE IT!”

  “AND HOW IN THE THRACK ARE WE GOING TO DO THAT, YOU OLD SKOGGER?!”

  Looking around the Scrap Zone for any help in closing the Kren Hole, Lero spotted both his and

  Kaze’s ‘ticket’.

  “There,” Lero huffed after spotting one final Pulsar Missile that was attached to the left wing of one of crashed Voltairan Astro-fighters.

  “OVER THERE!” Lero shouted to Kaze, gaining his attention. “THAT ASTRO-FIGHTER! ATTACHED TO ITS WING IS A PULSAR MISSILE! DO YOU SEE IT?!”

  “URGH… YES! YES, I THRACKING SEE-- URGH… RAH!!!!” Kaze roared as he cut down another Kren.

  “JORRAKAN, CAN YOU JUMP OVER THERE, PICK UP THE PULSAR MISSILE WITH YOUR ARMOR’S ENHANCED STRENGTH, AND THROW IT DOWN INTO THE HOLE?!”

  “YOU WANT ME TO DO WHAT?!”

  “YOU HEARD ME, YOU DEAF THRACKER! GO OVER THERE TO THAT ASTRO-FIGHTER, PICK UP THE PULSAR MISSILE, AND THROW IT DOWN INTO THE HOLE! IT’S THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE KREN FROM COMING TO THE SURFACE!!!”

  With no Kren attacking him for a brief moment, Kaze looked away from Lero and over at the crashed Astro-Fighter.

  Knowing that he could definitely jump over it, but not wanting to take the risk of being blown to smithereens by the Pulsar Missile, Kaze shouted, “I… I can’t do it.”

  “UGH… WHAT?!” Lero shouted after taking out another Kren with his Pulsar Saber. “WHAT

  DID YOU SAY?!”

  “I SAID THAT I CAN'T DO IT!!!”

  “WHY THE THRACK NOT?!”

  Kaze did not respond. He chose to stay quiet and fight off a few more Kren as Lero desperately pleaded for him to take the missile and throw it down in the hole.

  “JORAKKAN, PLEASE! YOU MUST DO IT!” Lero blared. “YOU MUST CLOSE THE HOLE WITH THE PULSAR MISSILE! TIS THE ONLY WA-- AGH!!!!”

  Just then, Lero was overwhelmed by a sudden rushing horde of Kren.

  Noticing this was Kaze who shouted, “LERO!!!”

  Seeing Lero vanish beneath a mob of Kren, Kaze was about to come leaping to his aid before hearing the cries of women… And childlings.

  Turning his armored head to the left, Kaze spotted a group of childlings, along with their mothers and older sisters, who were being run down by a flood of Kren.

  Knowing that they would surely die, along with Lero, Kaze put aside his fear and acted on his instincts.

  “URGH… NO!!!!” Kaze shouted as he quickly leapt over to Lero’s position.

  Cutting down the Kren that mobbed the former Rannukan Mercenary, Kaze pulled a slightly injured Lero up from the ground and blasted off up into the air.

  Landing between the childlings, the women, and the Kren, Kaze dropped Lero to the ground before turning towards the impending monsters.

  Squatting downwards, Kaze let out a powerful war cry before leaping towards the Kren.

  Splattering them all due to the sheer ferocity of his powerful leap, Kaze slaughtered the impending Kren as he directed himself over towards the crashed Astro-Fighter.

  With the impending Kren having been taken care of, the childlings and women quickly came rushing to a fading Lero’s aid who watched Kaze land near the Astro-Fighter’s crash site, causing a slight smirk to grow on his battered and bruised face.

  “Urgh… Alright. ALRIGHT!” Kaze shouted as he now faced the crashed fighter.

  Spotting its final Pulsar Missile, Kaze said, “Alright, you thracker… Come here!”

  Pulling the Pulsar Missile away from the Astro-Fighter’s wing with his enhanced strength, Kaze stumbled a few feet backwards.

  Regaining his footing, Kaze looked down at nearly one ton weighing Pulsar Missile and said in shock, “Holy thrack!”

  Hearing the deafening screeches of the Kren that were clamoring out of the fourth hole in the ground off in the distance, Kaze turned towards its direction.

  Zeroing in on the Kren Hole with his enhanced vision, Kaze lowered his brow and said to him, “Alright, Azir. You can do this… YOU CAN DO THIS… YOU CAN THRACKING DO THIS! RAAAAH!!!!!!”

  Leaping up into the stormy skyways with the Pulsar Missile held beneath his right arm pit.

  Looking fifty feet down towards the Kren Hole that he was striding over, Kaze lowered his brow again before letting out another powerful war cry.

  Hauling back the Pulsar Missile with both of his hands over his armored head, Kaze threw it downwards whilst shouting, “THRAAAAAAACK YOOOOOOOOOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

  After throwing the missile downwards, Kaze turned away as it fell inside of the Kren Hole.

  A few milli-cycles later, the Pulsar Missile exploded inside of the Kren Hole, creating a shockwave that sent Kaze flying face first into a massive mountain of scrap.

  Then, all that Kaze could see was darkness along with the imperiled cries of Kren, men, women, and childlings echoing all around himself.
