L.T.O. base infiltration Part One

In a desolate, unknown landscape, rain is pouring from the sky. The sky is filled with so many dark clouds that it makes the entire area feel pitch black.

In the middle of the landscape is a huge crater that stretches for miles upon miles. It stretches so far that some people would take years to cross it.

A young Mr.Mink is on the left edge of the crater, wearing a long, slick black coat, black cargo pants, and a sweater.

"What is this?" Mr.Mink mutters to himself.

The heavy rain causes Mr.Mink's bright red hair to cover the devastated expression on his face.

As he trembles, Mr.Mink lifts his hands, and when he does, he sees them covered in blood.

"Why? Why! Why! God damn it, why!" Mr.Mink screams as he presses his hands against his face.

Mr.Mink falls to the ground as his body continues to tremble.

"Aarrghh!"

After remembering this moment in his life, Mr.Mink snapped back to the moment at hand. Mr.Mink stares at Ego, who has a smile on his face, with a shocked expression.

"Why are you looking at me like that, Invincible? You look like you've seen a ghost, dude," Ego remarks as he giggles.

Mr.Mink tilts his head in confusion as he starts to walk around Ego.

"How are you alive? How are you even here? Better yet, how are you standing in front of me at the same exact age as that day?"

"Well, I could say the same for you, can't I? I guess both of us have our ways, huh?" Ego says with a sadistic tone.

"Stop fucking with me and tell me what you want!" Mr.Mink screams in distress.

"Oh, come on, silly; I know you know why I'm here. I came with L.T.O. to get that dagger, just like everyone else."

"L.T.O?"

"Oops, I let the name slip. Ah, it doesn't matter; the boss was going to reveal it all soon anyway." Ego says as he puts his hands behind his head.

"What do you mean, boss? Are you saying all of this is an organized attack by one person?" Mr.Mink asks with a concerned expression on his face.

"Oh, you seem real interested, don't ya!"

"Would you shut the hell up? How are you here right now? No one could have survived that day," Mr.Mink screams as he grabs Ego by the collar with both hands.

"Oh, wow, Invincible. Have you changed or something? The man of chaos I know was less about questions and more about, well, you know..."

Ego grabs both of Mr.Mink's hands with a devious expression on his face.

"Chaos!"

Ego instantly disappears but then reappears behind Mr.Mink with a wrench in his hand.

Ego swings the wrench at Mr. Mink's head but gets dodged.

"You know, even with my powers, I could never manage to land an attack on you all those years!" Ego shouts as Mr.Mink avoids three more of his attacks.

Mr.Mink does a backflip and kicks the wrench out of Ego's hand.

"And that will stay the same forever!"

Mr.Mink kicks Ego in the chest using the flex technique, sending him flying towards another roof.

"Heh, yeah, maybe, but we both know..."

Ego flips in the air and gracefully lands on the roof.

"I'm the only one who can keep up with your speed," Ego says with a cocky expression.

"Why are you so obsessed? I want nothing to do with you, kid," Mr.Mink says with a conflicted expression.

"Well, you're going to make this chaos interesting, so I'll keep on going until the end of time!"

As the attack on Grava City continues, another invasion begins in a far-distant area sandwiched between time and space. In this area, the sky is black and blue. In the middle is the same mountain with a fortress on top of it where L.T.O. had their meeting after they found the first dagger on the beast king's body.

Inside the fortress, it's dark and gloomy, with everything colored gray. At the entrance to the fortress, eight men guarding the front door are wearing all black, including a black mask covering their entire faces, and it seems there is a black aura emanating from them.

Suddenly, at the fortress's door, a red portal appeared.

The guards all came together at the portal and started walking slowly toward it. As they walk to the portal, mist begins to fill the room.

As the guards get blinded by mist, a string shoots out of the portal, and when it attaches to one of the guards, an electric current shocks the guard, knocking him out.

After that, two guards get sliced in two from the waist. Then three more guards get all of their heads knocked together by some big hands, knocking them out.

The last two guards jump back to each other and start looking around, but then two gunshots go off.

"So what the fuck are these things?" Frax remarks.

The mist vanishes, and all the guards are laid out on the ground in pieces, with Exploiter, Mary, and the Snachro brothers standing over them.

"So sad these aren't even humans," Ruth says as he stares at the three guards at his feet.

When he looks at the guards smashed in heads, he realizes that wires are poking out.

A red portal appeared above the group, and out of it, Satch dropped down next to Ruth.

"Hey, so this is what robots look like."

"They're not just robots; they're augmented cyborgs," Exploiter says as she reloads her golden silencer pistol.

"Yeah, and I'm guessing you have a reason for knowing that?" Mary says as she also reloads her pistol.

"Well, I am the one who thought up the idea for them, but I was never an engineer, so whoever built them must be brilliant, even though they are unfinished."

Exploiter looks over to Mary and notices that she is kneeling next to one of the guards, taking a picture with it.

"Yep, that's the photo right there! I'm about to post it! Wait, there's no service in this place?" Mary says with a vibrant tone.

"Mary I hope you're taking this mission seriously."

"Yeah, yeah, of course, just trying to enjoy my time as well."

Mary puts up her phone and jumps over the guard's body to get to Exploiter.

"You said these things were unfinished; what's wrong with them?"

"Well, for starters, they are not supposed to be this easy to beat, and also, the augmented cyborgs are supposed to be robots with OGI tanks from actual humans. It seems whoever made these hasn't gotten to that part yet," Exploiter says with a curious expression.

When Mary hears Exploiter's words, she chuckles a little.

"Now that's sick," She remarks with a smirk.

Exploiter starts walking to the stairs with Mary.

"Me and Mary are going to find the dagger; I'm sure it's upstairs in the main room."

"And what will me and my brothers do?" Satch asks.

"You three will stay here and wait for us and hold it down because I'm sure the security Bearlotic will be here soon," Exploiter orders with a calm expression.

"Oh, that's it. Sure, we can do—"

Satch pauses for a second and starts thinking.

"Did you just say security, Bearlotic?" Satch screams with a panicked expression.

"You just realized what she just said?" Frax asks as he holds back his laughter.

"So sad our brother has hearing problems," Ruth remarks with tears in his eyes.

"Why the fuck are you crying?" Frax shouts with a disgusted expression.

Suddenly, from the entrance ceiling, a giant brown bear-like beast with a row of teeth that goes all the way to its ears slams down onto the floor in front of the Snachro brothers. Its eyes are completely white; its arms are long with sharp claws; its stomach has a zig-zag cut on it; and it's standing on two feet.

"Raaaar!"

The Bearlotic screech is so loud that it hurts the ears of everyone in the area.

"Hey, Exploiter! You can't just leave us here!" Satch screamed with a panicked expression.

"I'm paying you a large sum of money for this job. Snachro brothers, make sure you all stay alive so I can pay you the other half of your money," Exploiter says with a cynical expression.

"Bye-bye. You boys have fun!" Mary shouts with a childish expression.

Satch grits his teeth after hearing Mary's comment.

"Well, I guess this is what you get when you mess with the Exploiter."

Satch opens up his pocket dimension and jumps into the portal.

"Ah, shit, I guess the Snachro brothers have to make a beast a pet again," Frax says as he leaps out of the way of the Bearlotic's attack.

"So sad we have to fight such a peaceful beast," Ruth remarks.

"Rahhhh!" the Bearlotic screams with a terrifying expression.

"Do you still feel bad about what we're about to do to this beast? Dumbass!"

"So sad; unfortunately, I do not."

Satch comes back out of his pocket dimension with a minigun in hand and a belt around his torso with six grenades hanging from it.

"Alright, bros, let's get it started. This beast has muscle on top of muscle, so..."

"Yeah, don't die; we know," Frax says as he walks toward the beast with blades growing from his hands.

"So sad—"

"Shut the hell up, Ruth; stop with that sad shit already!" Frax screams.

In the battle with the Bearlotic, Satch begins to take the lead as he prepares his minigun.

"The shit we do for money, goddamn! Let's get this bread the right way, boys."
