THE WAR OF FATE
Part One: The Resurrection
Chapter
Two: Heading Out
The jumbo jet known as Green Jester flew over the ocean on its way to Beijing.
Inside the agents were waiting patiently to arrive at their final destination.
The Alpha and Beta Teams were positioned at the front of the plane and were
discussing a plan of action. "The egg containing Bagan is positioned
inside a grand cavern on the outskirts of the city. It's rarely ever
guarded, since the majority of the world has passed off Bagan as a mere
legend," Fudge said as he looked at the schematics of the city of Beijing.
"Apparently the only way to free him is to power up the Keys with both
light and dark energy." Deathwing jumped out of his seat.
"That explains everything! The hieroglyphs in Orloch's tomb, Fury's
'brother,' and DaRokSez!"
Ness looked strangely at his teammate as he gulped down a hero sandwich.
"What the hell is he talking about?" he asked. Deathwing shook
his head in a disapproving fashion at Ness. "What I'm trying to say
is that DaRokSez disguised himself as Fury's brother in order to get him to
comply with the Garai Tai. DaRokSez practices black magic, and Fury has
pure energy flowing through him. Samrong plans to use the two to free
Bagan!"
Shadow meanwhile seemed to be having trouble breathing. "What's
wrong?" UG90 asked. In a few seconds, Shadow seemed to be just fine.
"Hmmm? Oh, it's just something that happens when the time of a full
moon approaches. It's sort of a signal. We've got a couple of days
before I transform, so don't worry."
"So what's the plan?" GWB asked. "Are we going in, guns
ablaze? Or do you walk in and negotiate?" G64 looked up from
the schematics and shook his head at GWB's sarcasm. "You never did
know when to stop. In any case, we know that Samrong isn't the negotiating
type. We'll go in with a small force (namely, us) and stop the ceremony
from happening at all costs. Remember, if we fail, the world as we know it
is screwed."
--------------------
"Fury, allow me to welcome you to the Garai Tai," Samrong said with a
smile. "I'm glad you've decided to help us out. We're almost at
Beijing so I'll need to debrief you and your... brother." DaRokSez
stood next to Fury. The agent turned to DaRokSez, but saw Khalm in his
place. "Are you ready for this?" Fury asked him. DaRokSez
flashed him a false grin. "Of course, brother. This is our
destiny. We will change the world forever!"
Samrong put his hands on Fury's shoulders. "You and 'Khalm' will
channel your powers in order to give the Three Keys their full strength.
When that is done, I will use the Keys and an ancient incantation to free Bagan,
and then we will make the world a much better place." At that moment,
Galex walked up to Samrong and whispered something in his ear. Samrong's
happy smile changed to a blank stare as his twisted mind absorbed everything the
giant had to say.
"Understood," Samrong said as Galex left the room. "Fury,
I'd like you to meet someone, if you don't mind."
