Mammoths_65 tale 4

God looks on at the field where Anon once was. Death and pain litter the land as The Infinity Coalition walks over their bodies. All-Father barely alive looks up to see them, Hunters, and they were the real deal. True blood-born children of the Infinites. Hunters were just that the literal offspring of the Infinites. A Hunter looks to All-Father. All-Father smiles, as the Hunters pull out their guns. One of them points a revolver, a .357 magnum. God watches as All-Father flips them off then a bang is heard. The Foundation, the best they had dead, and now the O5's were next. God turns to an Infinite as she approaches. "so you really want me to go to him", "yes now go and bring him". The Infinite moves instantly from Heaven to Purgatory. The Reaper's realm a place of neutrality and reality. A place where all were judged as they truly were. The Reaper covered in dark robes fine and made of the purest blackness he could find. The Infinite approaches as she sees an Anodyne leave. Anodynes the Reaper's version of Infinites, but they were far sadder as they had been lost ever since they were born. The Infinite knows she can't dwell to long on that, she has to get this done quickly.

The Reaper turns to her "ah, come to join me, while it's not your time yet Infinite. But I could make an exception, for you" the Reapers voice was like a piercing pain, yet there was relief behind it. The Infinite hands him a piece of her soul, "for Anon and all the Foundation members that just died, you'll get me". The Reaper could almost be seen smiling through the shadows that covered his face. The Reaper takes it then pulls out a black staff that then creates a blade, silver and pure at the end of it. The Reaper slams the staff to the ground, "it is done, now you come with me". God looks on hopeful that this time they won't die. "go my child and make your way to all your salvation". Anon-1 wakes up and sees All Father leading the rest of the Foundation forces he has towards the base. All Father looks to 1 "good you're awake, we'll need your what comes next". 1 smiles as he sees his squad, but then hears it "look to the sky to find what you seek". 1 looks up but sees only the clear blue sky, he looks closer. He then uses his Future Sight and sees they all die. 1 turns to All Father "when you see the gate open order a Kinetic strike". All Father looks to the gate of the base they are headed for and sees 10,000 forces rush out. All Father calls the O5's and demands "I need a Kinetic Rod strike now". The O5's rush and orders it. As The Infinity Coalition rise like a wave about to consume the Foundation it rains down.

The Infinity Coalition's forces crumble as the Kinetic Rods strike utterly decimating them. The Foundation force charges forward unopposed to the base as the gate closes. Foundation vehicles slam into walls and burst through halls as they pass by the gate. Anon jumps out their Humvee to immediately be met by gunfire. Samsara rushes forward and blows through the troops. The Mole Rats push against all they can, while the Maz Hatters set everything they can to fire. A Trapper runs to an alarm as Samsara push their way to him. An alarm blares as blue lights show how dark it is in the base. Anon use this to their advantage and do nothing but use their Future Sight. Anon kills hundreds of Infinity soldiers and then sees a Hunter run by. 2 tries to run after him but 1 stops him. They clear the section their in and everyone looks on with pride. They made it, their in The Infinity Coalition. Anon thinks of how great this retribution will be, but 1 can only think of how he lost Sahara. 2 punches 1 "get your fucking head in the game, I know you miss her but now is not the time". 1 nods in agreement and everyone gathers around All Father.

All Father, he was always the best of them all, the one that could lead anyone to victory. All Father looks to everyone "alright people this is it, we made it. But it's not over; the easy part is done and now comes the true trail. The Trail of Man, for these people are not men. They are monsters who have hidden in places like this for years, and today we drag them into the Light then watch them burn". Everyone cheers before All Father orders "Mole Rats head back to the gate and get it open for our forces. Samsara find the commander of this base. Anon, I know this is asking a lot. But I want you to find any Trappers, then kill or capture them your choice. And finally Maz Hatters, this place likely is running on some serious contaminants, find them then use them to destroy this bases power". Everyone nods, but 4 asks "what will you do"? All Father smiles "I'm going to find the Hunters, I'll have my troops move throughout this base, and try to cause as much damage as they can". Anon are shocked he wants to take on Hunters, and on his own too.

Everyone gets moving as All Father starts to walk down a hall not destroyed. All Father walks for hours as his MTF's move to their objectives. All Father stops as he sees a Trapper, the Trapper was in his way. The only way down the hall, All Father stops to think of what he should do then hears another 3 Trappers coming down the hall ahead of him. All Father sees a door open and ducks into it. As All Father hears them pass by he breathes a sigh of relief. He doesn't know if he really should take on a Hunter, let alone a team of Trappers. With quickly just one was able to tear apart Samsara, he can't imagine how Anon will fair better. All Father slaps himself and composes himself enough to think straight. All Father looks around to see control then sees light turn on. All Father ducks as the Trappers he saw just a few moments ago enter into an arena. A large room with bright white lights is what the Trappers see as the floor they step on is silver with a grey grid on it. The room starts to change and a Hunter appears in front of them. All Father can't help but shake this feeling he's been far closer to Hunters before, and that time it didn't go so well.

All the Trappers look to the Hunter as she says "listen up children, you said you wanted to be children of the Infinites. Then prove yourself and beat me". All Father watches as the Trappers circle her. One of the Trappers rushes her, but she grabs his arm then breaks before breaking his legs. "weak, is this the best you could muster". All the remaining Trappers run to her as she dodges each strike and each one missed she breaks something of theirs. Within only 30 seconds all the Trappers are wincing on the ground, holding broken bones and ripped skin. The Hunter walks to each of them then puts devices on each of them. They all instantly heal and get back up sore and tired. The Hunter then looks up to the control room "hello All Father, did you enjoy the display". All Father gets a look of shock that she knew he was here the whole time. All Father tries to act tough "oh I'm ready but are you". He then looks to the controls and presses buttons that have weapon symbols on them. In the Arena Anderson robots and G.O.C. members are thrown down to the ground. The Anderson robots get up and charge the G.O.C. soldiers, only for the Trappers to destroy the bots. The Trappers kill the G.O.C. soldiers next, taking them out within seconds with no struggle. The Hunter looks pleased "guess you Trappers are capable. Prove you're worthy of the title and kill All Father". All Father laughs until the control room moves down to the arena and throws him out.

The Trappers all wearing armor made of that mysterious metal, glare at All Father like wolves about to feast. All Father gets up for the Hunter to throw him armor. All the Trappers wait as he puts it on. The armor was layered over itself like the Trappers but had the paint and symbol of the Foundation. "kill him" The Hunter then taps a panel on her wrist and mountains take form, with one lifting her to the highest point. All the Trappers and All Father are in a valley between the mountains that seems like it stretches for miles. The Trappers run to him and he prepares himself, as the Mole Rats move back to the gate. Rat-1 sees it a panel that can open the gate but gets shot by a sniper. The Mole Rats carry him back behind a wall, then Rat-3 looks past it to see a massive garage filled with vehicles and guns. He then looks up to see rafters and a single sniper waiting. The sniper sees him and fires but Rat-3 moves back in time. The sniper pulls out a Barrett .50 cal and loads it with Anti-Armor rounds. The sniper then attaches a Heartbeat scope onto the Barrett. As Rat-1 heals from the Stem Cells, they see a round hit the wall and dent it. "shit move" the second round goes through almost hitting Rat-3's leg. Rat-4 moves out into the open first and pulls out his DMR, an M110 DMR. He aims it and fires hitting the snipe in his eye. The sniper screams and then walks backwards to fall 100 feet to his death. Blood and guts splatter along with the armor he was wearing.

Rat-1 looks to Rat-4 "good shot". Rat-4 then runs over to the panel and opens the door to see a Kamov Ka-50. If fires hitting Rat-4 with it's 20mm cannons. It then continues to fire taking out the rest of the Mole Rats. As it moves into the garage to land, the Mole Rats start to move again, but stay as still as they can. As the helicopter lands and Hind lands not long after it. Out of the Hind a high-level GRU agent steps onto the floor. Then soon follows a team of what looks like Black Ops, but they all have an Infinity tag on their arms. They then escort the Agent into the base as the Mole Rats see out of the open gate, hundreds of Ospreys, UH-60's, and Pave Lows fly by all with the T.I.C. initials on them. The Mole Rats realize they can't take on that many, no one could. It was like the Infinity Coalition was planning on revealing themselves and just had managed to drag the Foundation in with them. The Mole Rats watch as the Agent leaves down the hall and leaves 12 Russian Spetsnaz behind. The Spetsnaz wore all the same thing black camo, with plates of steel covering their arms, legs, and torso, with face masks made of steel and helmets made of Kevlar. The Mole Rats know not to move to quickly. As they try to move in the garage, Maz Hatters find one of the cores of the base. It was amazing it ran on Dark Matter and uses the force it exerts to power everything. They can see tubes leading energy through them into lines going out in every direction. They look closer at the Dark Matter and could see it was highly unstable and if not constantly fed it would die off.

Maz Hatters look for controls and Maz-1 finds a manual. "the manual reads, if there is a breach in the containment of the Dark Matter it will immediately shut off and new material will be needed to make a new piece". Maz Hatters look at the Dark Matter and how it glows black in the center with a purple glow around it. Maz-1 throws a grenade at the clear glass around the Dark Matter. As the smoke clears they see it not even scratched. Samsara run by after that and find the Maz Hatters. Maz-3 stops them "hey could you help us"? Samsara-1 looks at the Dark Matter "sure but after that you'll need to help us". Samsara all move to the containment cell for the power, it was circular so they knew they just had to shoot it in the right way. Samsara all light it up with bullets bouncing off and going in every direction. One of the stray bullets hits Maz-2 "fuck". Samsara-3 walks up to the containment cell and punches it with nothing happening. Samsara-2 looks at it and notices the Dark Matter is constantly pulling on the glass. Samsara-1 looks at the Dark Matter "maybe we just need to find some way to feed it too much". As she says that Samsara-2 and 3 throw a desk at the glass. Samsara-1 ducks then yells "what the fuck was that, are you trying to hurt me". Everyone stops as they hear the glass bulge then start to crack. Samsara runs to cover as the Maz Hatters just stand there. The glass breaks and goes into the Dark Matter, which then starts to take the form of a Black Hole. Force and exertion at the most extreme levels are thrown around and then the Black Hole collapses on itself.

As the Black Hole collapses on itself the entire base shakes, and All Father falls forward but manages to punch a Trapper in the process. The Trappers get up as only three of them are left, All Father is still surprised he managed to kill one. He knows pulling out the guys heart was brutal but he had to. What's worse though is All Father was getting tired, he may have that device in him but it's not helping. All Father prepares himself as the Trappers run to him again. All Father slides passed them hitting each of them in the nuts. Each of the Trappers fall to their knees. The Hunter laughs a bit as he hears her over the radio "impressive that an old man like yourself is able to keep up with us". All Father just glares at the Hunter with hate "us, your lazy ass has been sitting up on that mountain watching me kick the Trappers asses". "and how good you are at it, maybe I should make you a Hunter, I mean you'd fit right in". All Father scoffs at the idea "a Hunter someone who puts others in danger but never themselves, you Hunter were a threat at one point but now you're all just talk. The Hunter goes quiet, then orders as the Trappers get back up "stop, he's mine. He wants to talk shit about the Hunters, fine but he'll have to face me for that".

All the Trappers stop and go grab their dead friend, then leave the arena. The Hunter hits the panel on her wrist and the mountains disappear. As the Hunter walks forward she laughs "oh you have no idea how good this'll feel beating you up". All Father tired of her and her ego yells "SHOW ME YOUR FACE"! The Hunter stops "are you sure" she says this in a tempting way then leans against the a rock trying her best to be seductive. "because you may not like it". All Father yells "now dammit"! The Hunter removes her helmet and All Father falls to his knees, "no, no, not you, not now". It was Light Bearer. "hello father how are you"? All Father didn't want to believe it. "don't you find it odd that when I turned 20 I left you and never showed up again till Anon was found". All Father gets up "how, how did you do this". Another Hunter steps out "because she is mine, and I can make her do anything I want". This was the Hunter that killed all 39 squads of Anon, the one Anon was looking for. Light Bearer walks around All Father "I had a clone made of me that the Trapper team then killed, I'll admit watching you cry over my dead body was heartfelt. But I'm a Hunter and we must serve the Infinites and The Infinity Coalition, not you". The Hunter beside her steps forward "you can join us, so can all the other MTF's they've proven their worth". All Father stands up then looks to his hands and sees the blood of a Trapper. He thinks of how his daughter is dead and whoever this is, even if it's the real one. It's not her.

"no, I cannot join you" All Father looks down and the Hunter walks to his side. "that's a true shame, but it is what it is, so get the fuck out my base". All Father turns to the Hunter "no, I came here to kill a Hunter". The Hunter turns around as Light Bearer stares on. "so you want to die"? "whichever one ends with my foot up your ass is fine". The Hunter laughs "so be it". All Father prepares himself but is shot, he looks to the Hunter, and never even saw his gun get drawn, but he sees it smoking in it's holster. All Father looks down and sees a hole where his heart was. All Father then falls to his knees. "no more healing, no more help, and no more ways out" The Hunter then leaves the room. All Father falls face first and Light Bearer stares on, she knows she should feel sorrow but she just goes blank then leaves.

Anon looking for Trappers stumbles onto a comms room. As they all enter they see lights turn on to reveal hundreds of screens. The glow of all that is happening shows off each of their helmets. Anon-2 being a the best tech walks over to a computer and pulls out a disk. He then puts it and it starts to download everything it can off the system. Anon all see the screen flicker then turn to one image. They see a GRU agent being led passed all the Foundation forces dead. They see a Black Ops team moving killing any of the Foundation forces left. Anon all watch to see him enter an office. The GRU agent sits down as a man in a chair asks "so how was your flight". The agent speaks with a heavy Russian accent "you know how it was, it was bearable, but I did get to watch my forces gun down an MTF from the Foundation. Thank you for the warning". The man in the seat turns around to reveal it's the Hunter that killed Anon all those years ago. Anon all look shocked and can't believe he's actually here. And for some odd reason they don't move they just stare and watch. The Hunter gets up "you know Russia has been trying to find us, I thought we had a deal. You let us be and we don't wipe Russia from the map". The agent starts to look nervous "you know you can't just kill me, I'm more important than you know". The Hunter breathes in and then out "you're right I can't, but he can". A clone of the agent then steps behind him and the agent turns around. "oh fuck", the clone starts to strangle the agent, Anon watches as the agent tries his best to struggle but can't move enough to do anything other than scrim. The agent's throat starts to turn red as he reaches out for the Hunter. The agent mutters out "you'll die they'll find out". The agent then dies.

The Hunter breathes in and then turns to the clone "go, take his card you have his DNA so whatever he had access to get it. Then stay in Russia till we say otherwise". The clone replies "it will be done", it was scary to Anon how even the voice of the clone sounded just like the agent. The clone stops after he takes the card, and looks at the body then moves on. The Hunter turns to the camera "hello Anon how are you, I hope you enjoy the show". Anon then try to get out of the room but the door closes shut. 2 hits the door and pulls back "oooowwww, fuck did that hurt". 1 kicks the door to no avail, they all then look back to the screen to see All Father fighting Trappers in a valley. All Father kicks on of them back then grabs another and snaps his neck he then shoots the remaining ones. As the one in his arms goes limp he pulls out a knife and rips off the Trappers chest plates then cuts out his heart. All the Trappers heal up to see one of them dead. The Trappers are visibly angered and rush All Father all at the same time. All Father slams the ground and lifts up and large piece of dirt, he then throws it to one of the Trappers as he catches, another gets to him and he throws the Trapper into a rock. The final Trapper gets to him only to have his arms ripped off. All Father stumbles back as he hasn't had to fight like this for a long time. Anon watch and cheer him on. 2 mentions "that's why he's All Father". All Father then looks up the mountain and calls out the Hunter sitting atop it. "you gonna come down now" the Hunter just ignores him. All Father then sees all the Trapper get back up and rushes them, then slides and hits each of them in the nuts. 4 grabs his "damn that had to hurt". All Father gets up as all the Trappers fall to their knees.

Anon continue to watch as the rest plays out. As All Father demands the Hunter to take off her helmet, Anon watch close with anticipation to see what they look like. 1 gets a look of horror as he see Light Bearer alive, and she's working with The Infinity Coalition. Anon's jaws all drop, they then see the Hunter walk next to her and explain how she's his. 1 looks low as he hears that, Anon then all look up as they hear a bang only to see All Father shot. All Father falls to his knees and they see Light Bearer leave. 1 breathes heavy and starts to take in too much oxygen as the door to the comms room opens. All of Anon except 1 rushes to All Father. 3 calls it in "ALL FATHER IS DOWN. I repeat All Father is down". All the MTF's rush to him as Anon gives his location. 1 looks to the screens and sees the download done. 1 grabs the disk and makes his way to All Father. As he walks through the halls he remembers that day. The day Light Bearer, Sahara killed his family. He remembers her killing them because they were going to reveal the Foundation to the world. But now he wonders if she killed them because they were going to reveal something greater.

As 1 arrives in the room he sees Samsara have put a heart pump on him. "All Father is going to die, he won't make it". Maz-2 tells everyone that as 1 walks to All Father. All Father looks to 1 "I want to speak to 1 and only 1". Everyone leaves as 1 kneels down. All Father looks barely able to move or speak "1. You have to bring her back. I know you likely want to kill her. But she has…she has information we could use, to beat these men". 1 looks to All Father "but, I" All Father interrupts him "no we need her alive, I need her alive. I know that doesn't make sense. The O5's will want her dead. Don't let them kill my baby girl, don't let them kill her. I want my Light Bearer alive". 1 tries to say something but All Father dies. 1 stops and stares at All Father. He can't understand he's actually dead, then reality hits him like wall, "no, no, you stupid old man. You couldn't just let us deal with it". 1 grows in anger and screams. 1 then just stands there and remembers when he met All Father the first time. "well, well, well look at these great men. How strong they are". 1 looks to All Father dead and remembers he died. But long ago, and the gift God gave him was life.

God then shows up next to All Father's body and everything stops. God looks to 1 frozen in place, he then looks to All Father "such a good man, and yet such a horrible life". God cries a single tear and a when it hits the ground turns to a bed of grass around All Father. God leans down and a flower, neon blue with a purple center appears. "these will be Crows as a homage to your last name, All Father". God then leaves and the Reaper comes.
