Fireteam X: Book 5, Chapter 3: Talos Protocol

[b][u]Episode 3: Talos Protocol[/u][/b] "Atheon?" Kabr winced. "Why are you doing this?" he fell to his knees, and his friends looked at him in confusion. "Kabr, you are an asset. I am able to take control when I need you." a mechanical laugh rang out through his head. "Like now, for instance." "That tells me how, but not why." Kabr grunted, getting to his feet. "Uh... Kabr?" Toland put his hand on his friends shoulder. "Who are you talking to?" Kabr waved him off. "Why I am here in your head is the same reason the Cabal are on Phobos, because the Vex don't want this secret to get out." Kabr held his head in his hands. "There are entities that the Vex have locked away. Chronovores, Vex units with the purpose of devouring corrupted timelines. The site the Cabal are excavating is where we have sealed one of them away." "So why take control of me now?" Kabr roared in pain as his senses overloaded. "Get back!" he yelled at Dredgen and Toland, who tried to approach him. "What's going on?" Dredgen's fingers started to inch towards Thorn. Aru'un began to back away, stammering. He didn't want to be near Kabr. "I'm taking control now to stop the Cabal. Trust me Kabr, this is for the good of everybody, not just the Vex." Atheon paused. "Activating Talos Protocol." "Kabr! What is going on?" Dredgen grabbed Kabr buy the shoulder, but was met with a punch to the chest. "Stay... back... please..." Kabr was breathing heavily, when he spoke again, his voice was hollow, emotionless. "Talos Protocol engaged. Eliminate all potential threats." his voice changed back again. "Run!!!!!!" He charged straight for Aru'un, who tripped, barely getting out of the way in time as Kabr hurtled through the viewport, falling to the ground below. Dredgen looked at Toland. "Any idea what just happened?" _______________________________________ *BOOM!* Kabr struck the ground with the force of a meteor. He rose from the crater, facing an entire Cabal battalion. He locked eyes with their leader, a juggernaut of a Cabal. "Warning! Multiple targets detected. Threat level; urgent. Priority target marked with Void shield generator. Success rate; 92%. Without injury; 64%. Engage." he charged the Broken Legion. "Stop him!" Valus Trau'ug roared, and the Broken Legion attacked. Kabr hit like a battering ram, breaking through their front line. He threw his shield, decapitating a Centurion, and rapidly dispatched a handful of Legionaries before catching the shield. He leapt into the air, propelling himself off of a Phalanx's shield while charging his shield. While midair, he launched a powerful blast of void energy from his shield, straight at Trau'ug. The Cabal general shrugged off the blast, laughing. "You'll have to try harder than that, Guardian!" Kabr watched as the shield around him changed from Void to Arc. "My shield generator is unique! You can't rely on energy to beat me!" Kabr charged straight at Trau'ug, and slammed him with his shield. "Then it would appear a physical assault is more effective." he moved to slam him again, but was stopped by an enormous fist, and was thrown across the base. The Cabal General looked around, furious at all of his dead soldiers. "I'm not done with that Guardian yet." he growled. _______________________________________ He groaned, getting to his feet, ignoring the excruciating pain. "What do you still want from me?" "While you were dealing with the Cabal, I was erasing all of their files. While in their system, I found schematics for a weapon that might have the potential to eliminate the Chronovore." Atheon paused. "It's on a Cabal land-tank, which is why there is a slight change of plan." "Which is?" Kabr fought harder against Atheon, trying to resist his control. Atheon's answer shocked Kabr, causing him to lose focus. "We're going to acquire that weapon, and we're going to destroy the Chronovore ourselves." _______________________________________ To be continued...
