Alex Final Wars 2: Dark Alex, Chapter 6 - Second Assault
Sorry it took a while to get this chapter out, I've been focusing on college stuff recently. But, I won't keep you waiting any longer, here's the chapter. ------------------------------------ More US warships and aircraft had arrived near the island of Guam, and they were ready to meet the new Chinese fleet in battle. Alex had the typhoon land and be prepared to take off. It would act as an emergency escape ship in the event friendly forces were overrun. All members of Heroes had been spread out over the island, ready to counter any assault, while US soldiers guarded the typhoon.
Alex, Toothdee, Jack, Skye, and JayJay were currently digging into a defensible position near the beach, ready to counter the Chinese Assault. Sandbags and concrete blocks protected the small dirt trench they were in, looking over the beach. Machine guns and other soldiers were all ready to hold the line.
“I can’t stop thinking about those poor people,” JayJay said, while she and Alex placed sandbags in a wall. “Oh the aircraft carrier, all of them just wiped out”
“I know, this is why we’re heroes, we want to protect people. But it can really break your spirit when you work so hard to protect the innocent, yet fail”
“How are we supposed to deal with it?”
The captain placed his hands on her shoulders and looked her straight in the eyes so his words would have more of an effect.
“We keep going. We can’t stop because of one loss. If we stopped every time we failed, we would get nowhere fast. You like helping the oppressed right?”
“Of course!”
“There’s always going to be more people to help. If you failed once, that doesn’t mean you’ll fail again. Keep striving forward towards your goal of helping the oppressed. And we all have each other to lean on for support”
The wolf let the words sink in. It didn't fully heal the pain, but she felt a little bit better.
“Thank you”
“Don’t mention it”
000
Sometime later all the defenses were ready, and the soldiers were in battle positions. The Chinese fleet had arrived offshore, being lead by the unknown warship.
“There they are,” Toothdee said, using binoculars to look at the fleet of enemy ships offshore. “And there’s that strange ship”
The weird lead ship did indeed look like the typhoon, except it was bigger, possessed more weapons, and as Retsuko had mentioned earlier, it was all jet black in color, while the normal typhoon was mostly light gray and blue in color.
“What’s the deal with that ship?” JayJay asked, while Alex examined the vessel, which even flew exactly like the typhoon, hovering a bit above the waterline.
“I’m willing to bet money it belongs to our dark counterparts,” Alex said, giving the binoculars to JayJay so she could look closer at the mysterious dark ship.
“Well, time to see how it fairs in battle,” Toothdee said, pointing to approaching US warships.
“You ready for this?” Alex said, to JayJay, knowing the battle was about to start.
“Yes, let’s do this!” the wolf said, fist bumping Alex.  
Cannon blasts rang out as the warships began to fire upon each other. The Black typhoon revealed its main gun and promptly fired upon a US destroyer, immediately rendering the vessel useless. The main Chinese and United States fleets then engaged in battle, while Chinese landing craft and helicopters raced towards the shoreline.
“Everyone ready! Here they come!” Jack yelled, getting in a ready position. Anti-aircraft fire destroyed some of the helicopters, but many still reached shore and began wreaking havoc. Meanwhile, the boats landed on the sandy beaches and Chinese soldiers jumped out and started their assault.
The friendly forces on the shore opened fire, downing many Chinese soldiers, but they could not take them all down, and soon the positions where Heroes and US soldiers had dug in were already being overrun.
“Watch it! Grenade!” Toothdee yelled as a metal object landed nearby.
“I’ve got your back!” Alex said picking the grenade up throwing it back towards the Chinese soldiers, where it detonated.
The captain stopped using his rifle to fire at enemies on the beach and switched to his sword so he could cut down Chinese soldiers nearby.
“There’s just too many of them” Skye yelled as she reloaded while taking a quick glance at the sea battle “and our ships aren’t doing too well”
US ships were falling quickly, being pounded by the dark typhoon and the rest of the enemy fleet. In fact, one warship had already been destroyed and was crashing against the beach, actually taking out a few of the Chinese landing craft.
Despite how quickly the beach had been overrun, Alex and his team felt pretty good, they were taking down many Chinese soldiers and it looked like they might hold the trenches. Then suddenly Alex felt someone hit him in the back and kick him to the ground. Turning around, Alex saw his dark counterpart standing there, ready to do battle.
“That's for stabbing me in Chima,” Dark Alex said. “Time to see how skilled you really are”
2 more dark figures appeared, the dark versions of Kion and Jasiri, both dressed in armor that seemed to be heavily battle damaged from previous fights, but still extremely strong.
“Break their lines, and deal with any of his friends,” the Dark character said to his subordinates while gesturing to Alex.
“With pleasure,” The dark version of Jasiri said while taking out her sword. Her weapon was 2 thin blades extending from either end of the handle, with a metal ring also going around the handle, giving the whole weapon the appearance of a long thin line with a metal ring in the center. The hyena pressed a button on the handle and the 2 blades started spinning around the ring, acting as a giant deadly saw that Dark Jasiri promptly used to cut down hostile soldiers.
Dark Kion also preceded to take on US soldiers, but his weapon didn’t look too different from the normal Kion's weapon, apart from being darker and with more battle scars.
“Come on” Dark Alex taunted, taking out his weapon, which was a Chima style sword with a chi energy chainsaw embedded in the hilt, any part of the sword that would be a normal blade was now also a cutting saw.
While standing back up, Alex noticed that his enemy’s sword lacked the chi blaster component of his own, but the energy of the chainsaw and the center of the blade was bright red. The captain knew this meant that his counterpart was using the chi for evil, which should go without saying.
Drawing his own sharpened blade, Alex charged at his enemy, who dodged the strike and attempted a strike of his own but was deflected. The pair’s blades collided together, sending sparks flying. As they fought, Alex realized that it was hard for him to keep up with his counterpart’s attacks, even though he was a master swordsman! Whenever Alex managed to get a chi blaster shot off, the blast would just be deflected by his enemy’s blade.
Dark Alex used a nearby concrete block to leap into the air and perform a powerful downwards strike on his foe, knocking Alex off balance. The evil swordsman then performed another heavy attack, followed up by a kick that pushed Alex to the ground once again. But before Dark Alex could finish off his opponent, a voice sounded out.
“Hey!”
The swordsman turned to his right see JayJay aiming her machine pistol at him. Dark Alex quickly crossed his arms over his chest, and when he did, a beam of energy projected from his gauntlets, forming into a shield around the area in front of his chest
JayJay opened fire, but her bullets hit the energy shield and bounced off, not breaking the barrier.
Alex jumped up off the ground and moved away from his counterpart, who was still standing strong, unfazed by the hail of bullets. Eventually, JayJay ran out of ammo and had to reload, and when she did Dark Alex was able to deactivate his shield.
“Move!” Alex said, taking the wolf by the arm and pulling her away from the crumbling US defense line. The pair linked up with Toothdee, Jack, and Skye, and began retreating back to the Typhoon as artillery bombardments rained down, making the earth shake. Toothdee used her radio to tell everyone to head back to the typhoon, and she was quickly answered by other teammates, who were speaking in tones of disbelief.
Alex spotted a Jeep nearby, having been driven half off the road. Military vehicles didn’t require keys, and the group quickly got inside, with Alex driving. But soon after the Jeep started moving, a Chinese attack helicopter spotted the vehicle and engaged it. Alex swerved to avoid the bullets that struck the road, kicking up small bits of asphalt. Toothdee rooted around in the Jeep and found a small single barrel grenade launcher. But luckily Alex managed to get the Jeep into a nearby tunnel, and the helicopter stopped its chase.
Unfortunately, the aircraft returned again when the Jeep left the tunnel and fired missiles at the vehicle. The Jeep shook and the driver’s side door opened causing Alex to be thrown partly out of the vehicle, his left hand gripping the steering wheel keeping him from falling to the road below. Noting that Alex had a better shot than anyone else, Toothdee handed him the grenade launcher, which Alex grabbed in his one hand that wasn’t on the steering wheel, before aiming at the helicopter and firing. The grenade hit the cockpit and the aircraft went spinning before crashing into a building. The captain quickly pulled himself into the car and regained control of the vehicle, and the team soon arrived at the typhoon.
000
US soldiers and the other members of Heroes all boarded the typhoon, while Alex was on the bridge getting ready to take off.
“Everyone’s on board, sir!” The voice of a soldier said via the radio.
“Affirmative” Boehm responded, getting ready to pull the typhoon up off the ground. However once the ship lifted above the local buildings, Alex saw the mysterious black vessel, the Black typhoon, hovering right in front of them, with its massive main cannon ready to fire.
“Alex watch out!” Toothdee yelled, attempting to fire at the vessel with weapons systems.
Thinking quick, Alex gunned the ship’s engines and turned slightly so they wouldn’t hit the enemy vessel. This caused the blast from the black typhoon’s main gun to miss the ship and instead obliterate a building on the ground below. However as the typhoon fled at full speed, it scraped against its dark counterpart, causing damage to both ships.
“They’re turning around!” Toothdee said, noticing the black typhoon preparing another shot. Alex guided the ship into a cloud bank, and moved erratically once inside, trying to avoid being hit. Toothdee activated the ship’s radar jammer and the ship’s cloaking system. An image of the sky around the ship was projected all over the ships retroreflective panels, rendering it invisible. The typhoon fled at full speed, quickly leaving the combat zone and the threat of destruction by the Black typhoon.
Alex sighed and rubbed his head “let’s get to the nearest military base. We can drop off the soldiers and refuel and rearm”
Toothdee nodded and began to plot a course. This was a severe blow to Heroes, although they had held off one Chinese assault, in the end, their dark counterparts arrived and successfully captured Guam, leaving the team with the crushing feeling of defeat. ----------------------------------------------- Well, there you go! another exciting chapter! I hope everyone is enjoying this story! please leave a review, and I'll see all of you later!

Chapter 1: Tying up loose ends
The bridge of the typhoon was an unusual shape when it came to warship bridges, then again the typhoon was not your average warship. It didn’t float, it flew, something that set it apart from other US warships. The bridge of the vessel was sort of semicircular in shape, with multiple chairs where individuals sat and controlled parts of the ship via computers and buttons. The curved side of the bridge was made of a large glass panels that enabled perfect viewing of the surroundings, while at the same time being capable of resisting high amounts of damage. A small set of stairs near the center of the bridge lead to a raised captains chair, that had 2 horizontal levers for driving the ship. Right now the bridge was completely dark, all computer displays on various control panels were off, save for the main screen which provided the only lighting. Alex and Toothdee stood on the bridge, watching the illuminated screen. Projected for their viewing, was an orbital view of a meterex compound in a remote location. Both of them were dressed in black combat fatigues, which were standard issue for the Heroes organization. The pair also wore high quality armor, which looked golden in color. The armor was heavy duty, and could stop a lot of damage from bullets and blades alike. The armor also contained a Chi slot, enabling the wearer to use an orb of chi to “chi up” for intense battles.
“This is it” Toothdee said “the last pocket of meterex resistance that we have found. With it gone, the meterex will be no more”
“Let’s hope so” Alex said “but I have to say, every time a meterex group crawls out of the woodwork, Heroes gets a boost in funding, so I’m not complaining”
Heroes was an organization that Alex, Toothdee, and some of their companions set up after they put down the meterex forces that were staging attacks all over the world. Funded by world governments, mainly the US, who were impressed with their work in the meterex war, the organization was a well known force for good. Normally tasked with stopping dangerous groups like terrorists or gangs, they also participated in peacekeeping and relief efforts.
“Ha, neither am I” Toothdee said, responding to Alex’s claims of increased funding for the group “But this compound looks heavily fortified. We haven’t spotted any armor or vehicles, however there are a lot of troops”
“What’s with the large satellite dish? Just communications?”
“I believe so. But how do you want to play this? It’ll certainly be a tough fight”
“Don’t worry” Alex said, holding up 2 fingers “I have 2 new heroes fresh out of training who are just itching to get out in the field”
The door behind Alex and Toothdee opened, flooding the room with light. 2 figures dressed in combat armor walked into the room, a young male Zootopian lion, and a young female Zootopian hyena.
The lion had a bright red mane shaped like a mohawk and eyes of light brown, while the hyena had long hair with a purple streak, and eyes that were dark purple in color. The 2 individuals were also dressed in standard Heroes combat fatigues and armor. The pair stopped in front of Alex and Toothdee before raising their hands in salute.
“Kion Priderock reporting for duty” the lion said.
“Jasiri Outlander reporting for duty” the hyena said.
Alex and Toothdee saluted the pair, before Alex told them “At ease”
Kion and Jasiri placed their hands behind their backs while Alex went over the plan.
“Ok, Me, Kion and Jasiri will head into the compound and plant explosives throughout the building. When detonated these will create a chain reaction that should destroy the entire compound. There is a power plant at the center of the base, we will concentrate most of our explosive firepower there, to deal the most damage. We are also tasked with retrieving any information we can find at this compound. Information that might alert us to any pockets of hidden meterex activity, should they exist. After the explosives are planted and intel recovered, Toothdee will come and pick us up in a helicopter, before we evac and destroy the compound”
Kion and Jasiri nodded in unison, understanding what was going to transpire.
“Let’s see how you 2 do in the field” Alex said.
“We won’t let you down” Kion responded, ready to get into a real combat situation.
“Judging by your training, there’s no way you could. Now head to the hanger, let’s get our gear.”
The typhoon’s armory was located near the hanger bay, meaning that you could just grab your gear before hopping into a vehicle and heading out on mission. Rack of all kinds of weapons were situated on every wall, holding every kind of weapon from rocket launchers to knives. Workbenches also resided in the room, alongside proper tools, in the event someone needed to modify or work on their weapon. The entire room was also locked with a retinal scanner, preventing unauthorized access.
Upon arriving at the armory, Kion picked up one of his weapons of choice, a long sword with a simple design. The sword didn’t have a fancy trick it could do, or elegant engravings, but it was made from a material that was capable of deflecting most small arms fire. The lion swung the sword in his hand, making sure the balance and weight was perfect, before tucking the weapon into a holster on his back. He also carried firearms, such as a pistol and rifle, but he loved using a sword. There was something almost elegant about a sword, using it was almost like a dance on the battlefield, except a wrong move might result in death. Kion also donned a flack jacket that looked like a leather coat, making it both functional and somewhat fashionable.
Jasiri put on a combat helmet that was designed for Hyenas, before picking up a pair of pistols. The guns were decorated with purple lines and markings, and the weapons had been modified to fire quickly, while still delivering a powerful punch. The hyena tucked the pistols into specially designed holsters on her hips. These holsters would automatically refill Jasiri’s weapons with a fresh magazine if the hyena just held the pistols in the right position a tiny bit above the holster. Because she duel wielded, her reload time was much quicker than manually inserting a new magazine into each pistol.
While his partners got themselves situated with their gear, Alex picked up his weapon from a table nearby. A G36 assault rifle, modified with an extended magazine, forward grip, and a powerful scope. The weapon was painted in a shiny golden color, and could shoot powerful shots at a high rate of fire. Alex also grabbed his sword, a Chima style weapon, consisting of a gold colored hilt and one large silver colored main blade split into 2 smaller blades, with an area of unfilled space going up the center of the weapon. When wielded by Alex, chi power would fill the space at the center of the weapon, allowing him to deliver devastating strikes to opponents. But what really made the weapon special was the chi blaster embedded in the hilt. This enabled Alex to fire chi blasts while at the same time engaging opponents with the blade of the weapon, allowing him much more dexterity on the battlefield.
Alex also carried an A.J.M. 9 pistol, which was hard hitting and silenced, making it perfect for stealthy operations. Lastly, Alex wore what looked like normal sunglasses, but they were anything but normal. They contained a heads up display that could mark objectives for Alex, recognize faces with a camera on the nose bridge, and even tell Alex how much ammo his weapon had left by linking to sensors in the gun. Alex put the rifle and sword on his back, tucked the pistol in his holster, and donned his sunglasses, before the team picked up other gear they would need, such as medkits and grenades.
Once the team was geared up, they were ready to move out. Getting into a helicopter piloted by Toothdee, the team was flown towards the meterex base, but they would have to land and hike in for part of the journey, as flying the helicopter any closer could alert the meterex forces. Alex, Kion and Jasiri got out of the helicopter once it landed, and Toothdee lifted off before flying away, ready to pick up the team once their mission was complete.
Human, Lion, and Hyena hiked through the woods that made up this part of the world, taking periodic brakes so they would not be to tired when battling the meterex in the compound. Soon they came upon a constructed barricade, and that’s when the team knew that they had reached their objective.
“Here we go, get ready. Safety’s off” Alex said.
“How about a kiss for good luck” Kion whispered to Jasiri.
“Not now Kion, we’re in the middle of a mission”
“It doesn’t bother me” Alex said. “Feel free to show affection, but I will say this....”
Jasiri obliged Kion’s request with a quick peck on his cheek.
“....is this Star Wars? Are you two gonna kiss for luck before swinging across a chasm?”
Kion chuckled while the team moved into some bushes nearby, to keep hidden as their eyes scanned the clearing in front of them. Soon the group spotted 4 meterex soldiers on guard. The sun reflecting off the brown metal that made up their bodies, and their large purple eyes watching for any enemies. Weapons clutched firmly in their metal hands. Most Meterex were spindly and thin robots, but their heads were large and shaped sort of like a rounded triangle.
The group snuck closer to get in a better attack position, before planning their strike. Alex gave the signal, before opening fire on one of the meterex units. The bullets quickly subdued the robot, and Alex directed his attention to another meterex unit. Jasiri opened fire with her pistols, aiming for the head of one robot. The shots shattered the eyes and armor of the unit, quickly rendering it destroyed. Jasiri then targeted another meterex unit nearby, just as Alex had done. Sprinting out of cover, Kion swung his sword with all his might, decapitating a meterex soldier like a hot knife going through butter. Alex and Jasiri both opened fire on the last hostile unit, quickly killing it under a hail of bullets.
“Move up” Alex said, as the team continued down an alleyway before emerging into another small courtyard. This courtyard however contained a heavy meterex unit. Standing half a meterex taller than normal meterex unit, and purple in color, this unit’s body was blocky in shape, along with its large legs and arms. A cube shaped head sat upon the unit, with a big red eye that fed the robot information. Embedded in its hands were heavy machine guns, along with powerful fists for melee attacks, or lifting objects.
“I’ll handle this, boys” Jasiri said, stepping towards the heavy unit. The robot emitted a loud, almost battle cry like sound, before charging at the hyena, who dodged out of the way. Jasiri used this opportunity to fire her pistols at critical points on the meterex, dealing heavy damage. The hyena once again dodged another strike and used the same tactic of firing at critical points. The heavy meterex slammed its fist onto the ground, trying to crush Jasiri, who evaded the attack and jumped onto its arm. Running up the robot’s arm, Jasiri jumped off its head, while dropping a grenade onto the unit. The grenade exploded violently, destroying the unit while Jasiri landed on the ground.
“Good job” Alex said, complementing the hyena while the group continued deeper into the compound. As they entered the next area they were greeted by 3 normal meterex as well as 2 elite meterex units. Elite meterex looked the same as normal meterex, accept they were yellow and black in color. Also in their arms were a pair of blades for engaging hostiles in melee combat.
Jasiri got into a firefight with the normal meterex units while Alex drew his sword before him and Kion approached the elite meterex. The pair clashed blades with the meterex, sending sparks flying as they fought. Alex deflected a strike from the elite unit before getting into a sword lock. Kicking the unit back, Alex slashed the meterex’s blades out of his way, opening the unit’s guard and enabling him to stab the hostile in the chest.
With his opponents defeated, Alex turned to see Kion severing the head of his own opponent, while Jasiri finished off the last meterex soldier.
“All clear!” The hyena yelled.
“Let’s move inside” Alex said “see if we can find and capture the meterex commander, they have to have some valuable intel”
The trio headed through a small door on one of the buildings, and Alex spotted what appeared to be a structural support column on the side of the large room they were in. He quickly took out a small bundle of C4, and attached it to the column, before arming the device. After the charge was planted, the team moved down a large hallway, and came face to face with 3 more meterex units. These meterex looked like normal units, but they were each equipped with a shotgun and assault rifle, both built into their hands.
“Oh boy, specialist meterex” Alex said
The units opened fire, prompting the team to fall back to a more defendable position.
“I haven’t seen much of this kind of meterex” Alex said as the meterex entered the room and engaged the team “but watch out”.
Alex tossed a grenade that landed near the feet of one unit, exploding and reducing the unit to scrap metal. Jasiri began to use crates as cover, sneaking around behind the units, before popping out and blowing the head off one. The hyena got back in cover as the last unit focused its shotgun fire on her, while at the same time continuing to suppress Alex and Kion with its rifle.
Alex drew his sword and got out of cover, getting into a ready stance. The meterex unit opened fire on him with its rifle, but Alex used his swordsmanship skills to deflect the bullets, all while slowly approaching the unit. Once in striking distance, Alex cut the unit’s arm in half, before swinging his blade across its body, putting it down.
With the threat eliminated, the team continued down the hallway, until they reached a point where the hall split into 2 paths.
“Kion, Jasiri” Alex said, “you 2 go right and plant the remaining explosives. I’ll head left and find the commander and extract any intel”
The lion and hyena nodded before the team split up to achieve their objectives. Continuing through the base, Alex ran into an elite meterex unit and a heavy meterex unit. The elite unit swiped at Alex with its blades, but Alex managed to defend against the strikes using his sword. The combatants got into a sword lock, and Alex removed one hand from his blade’s hilt so he could draw his pistol and fire at the meterex unit. Once the elite unit fell to the ground, Alex barely had time to get out of the way of a strike from the heavy unit. Jumping off the wall, Alex was able to get on top of the elite unit and stab its head with his sword. This, coupled with a few shots from his pistol, defeated the unit, enabling Alex to continue onwards.
Sprinting to cover as much ground as possible, Alex encountered 2 normal meterex on a set of stairs. Both units fell to a few pistol shots and sword slashes as Alex kept going.
Reaching a room with a bunch of computer equipment, Alex spotted 2 more specialist meterex, unaware of his presence. Taking out his rifle, Alex emptied a full magazine into one meterex unit, putting it down. The second unit moved towards Alex, firing its weapons as Alex took cover. When the unit got close to where Alex was hiding, he jumped out and stabbed it in the head with his sword.
After making sure the area was clear, Alex began to check the computers for any intel he could salvage, only to discover that the equipment had been wiped clean of data. There was nothing left, the servers were fried and a few were shot full of holes. However there was one piece of gear still working, a device that kept track of meterex in the base, so their movements and attacks could be better coordinated. Looking over the screen Alex noted that there were not to many meterex in the area where Kion and Jasiri had went, hopefully that would mean they set the rest of the charges quickly and easily.
Alex also spotted what appeared to be the signal of a meterex commander, coming from an area not to far away. This commander was the last source of intel, and Alex raced off to capture this meterex unit.
The next area Alex came to was a large room with catwalks suspended above the floor. Alex came out onto one of these catwalks and was traversing to the other end of the room when a bullet whizzed by him.
Turning to see who had fired at him, Alex spotted 2 sniper meterex. These units had one large eye that they used to find targets at long distances. There was no cover, so Alex drew his sword and got into a stance. One of the snipers fired a high power shot at Alex, who moved his sword to make contact with the bullet. When the bullet struck his sword, it ricocheted off the blade and struck the other meterex sniper, killing it. When the first sniper was distracted by his companion dropping to his own bullet, Alex pulled out his pistol and shot the sniper in the head.
The next room Alex came to was shrouded almost entirely in darkness, but similar to the last room there was a single catwalk running the length of the room. The floor space of the room was totally taken up by electrical equipment, as this was the power plant area of the base.
Alex spotted the meterex commander standing in the middle of the catwalk with his back towards him. The commander was teal in color, and looked like a normal meterex unit with larger body structure. His head design also contained more jagged points, and he had a multitude of armor plates flowing off his back onto the floor, almost like a robe.
“Alex!”
Searching for who called his name, Alex spotted Kion and Jasiri heading towards him from the other end of the catwalk, from the other side of the meterex commander.
“Charges are placed!” Jasiri said.
“Good work” Alex responded, keeping a gun trained on the meterex commander. “We need to capture this guy. All intel was destroyed, we need him to tell us what he knows”
Kion and Jasiri nodded and trained their weapons on the commander, who remained silent and unmoving. Just as Alex was about to open his mouth to say something, the commander spoke.
“I suppose your here to take me prisoner” the unit’s voice was metallic and didn’t really contain any noticeable tone.
“Yeah, no duh” Kion said.
The meterex commander laughed and turned towards Alex.
“I know you believe this to be the last pocket of resistance, but no, you are wrong. There is something much more terrible coming”
“What are you taking about?” Alex Asked
“The fact that you are oblivious to your end coming closer and closer”
The meterex commander walked to the side of the catwalk.
“A force that you will be unable to destroy, even thought your heart, like the sky....”
The commander looked at the trio of heroes one final time.
“...Will be on fire”
The commander then jumped off the catwalk, landing on some power plant equipment, causing a chain reaction. Sparks flew and the equipment burst into flames.
“Well, looks like we have no intel” Alex said, disappointed “but we’ll worry about that later, right now we gotta get out of here!”
“There was a staircase leading up over here” Jasiri said, pointing back towards the way she and Kion had come from. Alex nodded and the team raced off towards the staircase while Alex called Toothdee for a rapid extraction.
“Toothdee! We need an immediate evac!”
“Coming your way” Toothdee said, and Alex heard the sounds of an engine start.
The trio reached the staircase and climbed it, finding their way out onto a roof. Alex lit a flare so Toothdee would be able to spot where they were. The compound was catching on fire, as the power plant overloaded and caused chaos.
“Incoming!” Kion yelled.
A meterex force was climbing the staircase they had come from, and they were ready to stop the team. The force consisted of 2 heavy meterex, some sniper meterex, and a couple of normal meterex.
“Jasiri!” Alex said “detonate the charges!”
“But Alex, we’re still in the compound!”
“Leave the details to me”
Jasiri took out the detonator and pressed the button. Large explosions went off nearby, with one blast even destroying some of the meterex forces that were attacking the team. There was only one heavy unit left, and it charged forward towards Alex, who dodged the strike. The unit continued to swing at Alex, who dodged its strikes. Unfortunately for the heavy unit, it was left open to an attack from behind, and Kion stabbed the unit with his sword, killing it. Jasiri took down a normal meterex soldier and then focused her fire on the sniper meterex. Alex also took out his rifle and opened fire, resulting in the last 3 enemies being put down under a hail of bullets.
More meterex entered the area, consisting of an elite meterex, 2 specialist meterex, and a flamethrower meterex. This unit looked like a heavy meterex, but was painted red, and as the same suggested, was equipped with a flamethrower.
“Take down that flamethrower now!” Alex yelled, tossing grenades into the group of enemies. The flamethrower unit moved forward, and engaged with its flamethrower. Jasiri took down a specialist unit, before needing to dodge the stream of fire from the flamethrower unit.
While Kion dueled the elite unit, Alex ran up to the other specialist unit and his it with his sword, destroying the unit. Alex then fired with his gun at the tank on the flamethrower unit, causing it to explode and destroy the meterex unit.
Just as Kion destroyed the elite unit, a third wave of meterex appeared, consisting of all types of units they had encountered. As the group prepared to battle, suddenly a missile struck the group of enemies, destroying them. The team looked up to see the helicopter, before Toothdee hovered nearby so they could get on. Toothdee’s timing was perfect, as right after the team had jumped on the chopper and the aircraft pulled away, the building they had been on exploded. The entire compound was burning or destroyed, and most, if not all of the meterex were dead.
“Where’s the commander?” Toothdee questioned.
“We didn’t get him” Alex said. “And they destroyed all their intel”
“Damnit, that’s not good Alex”
“No, it’s not. But don’t blame me, they destroyed their intel before I got to that room, and the meterex commander killed himself”
“He was acting strange as well,” Jasiri said. “He said ‘there’s something coming, your heart and the sky will be on fire’ what do you think he meant by that?”
“If we had him we could ask him” Toothdee sighed, although the compound was destroyed, they had lost 2 sources of intel. However, unlike Toothdee, Kion and Jasiri were happy with the way their first mission turned out and shared a victory high five. They had performed exceptionally and were ready for whatever else faced them.

Alex Final Wars 2: Dark Alex. Chapter 2: War
The flight back to the typhoon was uneventful and normal, with just some chatter between the team to break the silence. However, Alex did wonder what the meterex commander had been talking about. The commander said he had been in contact with someone, maybe that’s what the big satellite dish was for. As they neared the ship Alex looked over the typhoon. It really was a marvel of engineering, equipped with the latest technology and possessing the ability to fly, despite its massive weight. The vessel carried a skeleton crew and was capable of being operated by one person if necessary. When the crew, usually Alex and Toothdee, we’re away on missions, the typhoon’s automated systems kept it locked down and secure. The ship’s structure consisted of a long engine like shaped main section, with smaller sections built off it. These smaller sections were mostly wings or areas that added more rooms to the ship’s inside. A large conning tower with the bridge extended upward near the rear of the ship, and near the bow was a landing strip and hanger, with the strip being lined with palm trees to add a bit of nature.
Situated inside the typhoon’s hanger and vehicle bays were cars, tanks, speedorz, watercraft, planes, and helicopters. Everything the ship's occupants needed to achieve their objectives. The armory was fully stocked with all sorts of weapons, from swords to even a few prototype railguns, alongside workbenches in case someone felt like creating their own weapons. The typhoon itself was equipped with heavy cannons, machine guns, missile launchers, and everything a normal warship might possess. The interior was also very developed, and modifications had been made to ensure the occupants were comfortable. The whole ship could also be crewed by one person if the situation demanded it.
All these qualities made the ship the perfect headquarters for Heroes, and it would help them to make sure world threats did not go unnoticed and unchecked. Alex was the group’s leader, having the rank of captain, despite being rather young. Toothdee was second in command, with both of them acting as the organization’s highest authority, though usually, Toothdee was subordinate to Alex.
In the past the team had done jobs for the government, usually doing something like taking out an illegal organization. But they had also gotten themselves into a fair share of situations that they had to fight their way out of by themselves. After the Battle of Zootopia, where the city was freed from meterex occupation, the government had decided to give the team an official name and symbol, more monetary funding, and almost unlimited independence. To Alex and Toothdee the situation had seemed almost to good to be true, but they were glad the team’s combat prowess had lead to this. Heroes was a faction that was capable of defeating any threat, and achieving any objective.
The symbol of this strong organization consisted of a yellow curved ribbon, with the word “Heroes” on it I’m black ink. Above that was a white fist, symbolizing strength. The typhoon was covered in this logo, along with the team’s weapons, gear, and vehicles, and to many, it was a symbol of hope.
Being so lost in thought, Alex almost didn’t notice that the helicopter had landed inside the typhoon. Toothdee went up to the bridge, while the other 3 mammals headed to the armory to get rid of their gear.
“You two did good,” Alex said to Kion and Jasiri, unloading his rifle and placing the unused ammo in a case.
“Thank you” Kion replied, with Jasiri adding that it meant a lot to them.
“Don’t mention it” Alex said, putting away his sword. “I knew you two would do great”
The trio finished putting away their weapons and gear before Toothdee called them to the bridge via the intercom.
“Alex, Kion, Jasiri, please report to the bridge”
Upon arrival at the bridge, the trio saw Toothdee looking at a computer and sighing.
“You alright?” Alex asked before Toothdee stood up and turned to the group.
“The Chinese fired at a US warship passing through territory they claim is theirs, but it’s really international waters. They killed most of the crew and completely destroyed the ship. Congress has voted to declare war in response to further Chinese aggression. As of this moment, the United States of America is at war with the People’s Republic of China”
There was heavy silence in the room as everyone thought about what this meant. The worlds 2 most powerful militaries were going up against each other. Alex hoped that this conflict did not permanently scar the world in unrepairable ways.
“Damn,” Kion said, while Jasiri shook her head.
“I’ve been told that Heroes has been given full operational authority to act as it pleases, as long as we’re fighting the Chinese” Toothdee said, before sighing.
“Well, there’s no use being down about the outbreak of war,” Alex said “what happened, happened, and it’s our job to deal with the fallout. I’ll go tell our analysts to get to work on a preliminary report that could give us an edge early on in this war”
“Tell them they’re going to be having their work cut out for them,” Toothdee said.
“Will do!”
Alex walked through the hallways of the typhoon, till he came to a room that said “Analysis and Logistics” on the door outside.
Entering the room Alex was greeted by rows of desks with computers, alongside large servers, and stacks upon stacks of paper strewn about the room. A small coffee maker sat on one of the desks and the air was filled with the hum of computers.
“Haida! Retsuko!” Alex said, not sure if the two were in the room or not.
“Coming! Coming!” A female voice said from behind one of the servers nearby.
A female red panda and a male hyena, both hailing from the city of Tokyo Japan came into view and walked up to Alex to speak with him. These 2 managed all of Heroes data and logistics. While the job might not be action-packed, it was no doubt necessary.
“Have you heard the news?” Alex said, quickly getting to the point.  
“That we’re at war?” The hyena, Haida said. “Unfortunately, yes”
“anyways, I need you to create a preliminary report, updating us on everything we need to know to get an edge on the Chinese in the early stages of this war”
“Already done!” Haida said, retrieving a packet of papers from a nearby printer, before grabbing a stapler.
“Make sure it’s stapled at a 45-degree angle!” Retsuko, the red panda said.
“Yeah, I got it”
The hyena stapled the papers together, before handing the packet to Alex.
“Thank you, you two work quick”
“Well, that’s why we’re here,” Retsuko said “And believe me, this job is a lot better than our last one”
“Don’t even get me started” Haida said.
“You should have seen our boss’s face when we gave him our resignation letters!”
“Ha, well as you were,” Alex said, leaving the room, and subsequently hearing the pair inside start flirting from the outside.
Alex looked through the packet, it mentioned known Chinese base locations, a few bits about Chinese troop movements, and detailed info about many other topics relating to the Chinese military. This was certainly going to be one hell of a war, and Heroes was about to be very busy.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, now that conflict has broken out in the world, things should get interesting. Also, I'm pretty sure that China will ban this post in the country. But I hope you all enjoyed this chapter!

Alex Final Wars 2: Dark Alex, Chapter 25 - Cruise Control
In the waters outside Zootopia, a large yacht meandered through the darkened ocean on a peaceful night. It wasn’t a particularly large vessel, however, you still could get lost if you weren’t careful.
Many would view a trip around the ocean on a yacht as a luxurious experience. The peaceful seas, delicious food, and enjoyable activities would make anyone wish for this amazing experience. However, that’s not what the mammals currently on board the vessel wanted. They only wished to be off this boat and wanted nothing more than for this experience to end.
It turns out that Nick’s dark counterpart had been leading the latest Chinese assault, but now that the invasion had been thwarted, he and his remaining forces were attempting to retreat. They had been cornered by US and Zootopian forces, and to avoid being killed or captured, they had taken hostages at a nearby pier. Friendly forces then pulled back, fearing for the lives of the hostages. The hostages were bundled onto a yacht, which then slipped anchor and headed out to sea.
Facing a dangerous situation where innocent lives were at stake. Heroes were called upon to rescue the hostages, and eliminate the hostiles. Specifically, Nick, Judy, Jack, & Skye would be undertaking this mission. They were all geared up & ready to get out in the field.
As the yacht passed under a large cloud, it was shrouded by darkness, and the moonlight couldn’t provide much illumination. Undercover of darkness, a small zodiac boat made haste towards the hijacked vessel. Carried aboard the vessel were the rabbit & fox pairs that would soon stop the yacht in its tracks.
“How are Kion & Jasiri doing?” Judy asked as the boat continued its advance.
“They should be fine,” Jack said. “No serious damage. I tried to make them rest a bit, but they are really determined to get back out and into the fight as soon as possible.”
“That’s what happens when your home is threatened. Nick and I feel the same way.”
“Well, so do me and Skye.”
Closing in on the vessel, Skye cut the engines, otherwise, the sound would alert the Chinese guards. Jack prepared a crossbow with its bolt fitted to a rope and fired into the side of the vessel. The bolt dug in and held firm. The other end of the rope was then attached to a small winch, which pulled the boat closer to the yacht as Jack cranked it.
Nick was ready with his bow and silently fired an arrow, hitting a Chinese guard in the head. The fox then turned the bow on some lights and a security camera, destroying them & shrouding the area in darkness. The zodiac boat pulled up to the yacht, & the group of mammals used grappling hooks to clamber up onto the deck.
Moving forward, the team downed another Chinese guard and quickly hid the body into a supply closet nearby. The group then headed into the vessel, looking for the crew quarters, since that would be the most logical place to keep the hostages. Another Chinese soldier came down the hallway, but before she could react, Jack had already shot her with a suppressed weapon.
The team then split up to cover more ground, Nick, and Judy heading to a lower deck, while Jack and Skye went to an upper deck.
Nick and Judy continued through the ship’s halls, weapons at the ready, ears, and eyes scanning for hostiles. The pair soon came upon a large group of Chinese soldiers, all gathered around a central area. Assuming this large group was guarding the hostages, Judy radioed her allies while Nick kept a lookout.
“Jack, Skye” the rabbit whispered. “We’ve located the hostages.”
“Ok, we’ve found a security room,” Jack said. “I can see the whole vessel from here, I’m sending Skye down to assist, I’ll provide overwatch.”
“Roger.”
Judy terminated the call and gave a nod to Nick. The pair took cover, lined up their shots, & fired.
Bullets & arrows struck enemy soldiers in the head, instantly killing them.
The other soldiers Were slow to react, and the 2 warriors were able to put enough shots in 2 more Chinese soldiers to put them down.
The other enemies took cover and returned fire, shots flying back and forth. A few more Chinese soldiers arrived and began to press their advantage, slowly moving towards the fox and rabbit. But this act left their rear flank exposed, and when Skye appeared behind them, she emptied a magazine on the group, taking out 3 hostiles.
“Mind if I join you?” Skye said, joining her friends. She didn’t like leaving Jack all alone, but the hostages came first.
“Heads up,” Jack said through the radio. You have more hostiles incoming. 2 from the hallway behind you, 3 from the hallway to the left at the junction.
The trio spun around and aimed their weapons down the hallway. When the enemy soldiers turned the corner, weapons drawn, they stood no chance.
3 more enemies came into as the group reloaded. However, they were eliminated just like all the soldiers before.
Now that the area was clear, the bunny and foxes went to work on opening the crew quarters cabins, using their weapons as tools to reach the handles of larger doors.
“We’re with the ZPD and ZIA, we’re here to rescue you.”
Once the hostages understood the situation, they were told to keep in their cabins while the team regained control of the vessel. But letting the hostages know they were being saved certainly calmed them down. But all of a sudden the boat was thrown into darkness, & even stopped moving. The only light came from the full moon.
“Damnit, someone cut the power,” Judy said, flipping on her night vision goggles.
Skye and Judy took up positions to defend the hostages while Nick went to join Jack, who was already moving to the breaker room.
The fox found his way onto the main deck, but as he rounded a corner, suddenly a gloved fist hit him in the face. His bow was plucked from his hands and thrown to the other side of the deck. The fox was slammed about, dropping his pistol as he attempted to unholster it. His taser was also thrown away, the enemy wanting to disarm him completely. He finally got a good view of his adversary. It was his counterpart, rifle on his back, geared up, and ready for a fight.
Nick kicked his dark counterpart back and quickly tackled him. The fox flipped the dark warrior over and managed to get the rifle off his back to try and use it himself. But the other fox would not let this happen, grabbing the weapon. The 2 shoved and fought over the gun before Dark Nick pushed both foxes over a countertop and into a small snack bar area that was used to serve guests. They hit the floor hard, losing grip on the rifle and causing it to slide under a large freezer in the snack bar area. The 2 got up, and Dark Nick kicked his enemy away and drew his sidearm. He fired, but the ZPD fox sidestepped and ran as quickly as he could, with his armed enemy having to track him with the firearm.
In a flash, Nick flipped over a metal counter table in front of him, hid behind it, and pushed with all his strength towards the dark fox. The table was for larger mammals, meaning the officer had trouble moving it, but the bullets simply indented the table as they struck. Nick slammed his opponent into a wall, struck his arm, grabbed the sidearm, hopped back, and pulled the trigger.
The gun clicked. All the bullets had been used up. Before Nick could do anything else, his counterpart shoved the table back at him, disorienting the fox, and followed up with a few melee strikes.
The fight stopped for a moment, both combatants taking a step back to size up their opponent and breath.
Nick looked over his dark counterpart. The evil warrior didn’t pack a melee weapon, but his claws were long & sharpened.
It was now a strict paw to claw battle, and it would only end with one of them defeated.
The 2 mammals clashed together, claws and fists flying everywhere. Each combatant combining attacks and dodges into a fast-paced combat sequence.
Dark Nick swung his tail up & used it to stun his enemy before shoulder charging the ZPD fox and causing him to stumble back and slam into a large metal machine that was up against the wall.
There was a whirr from behind Nick, and he quickly realized he’d hit the machine’s on button when he was thrown against it. It was a large ice chipper machine, probably for creatures bigger than a fox.
The fox grabbed a small cooking knife from one of the prep tables and threw it like a throwing knife.
Nick’s counterpart wasn’t expecting this and had to quickly dodge out of the way. At this moment, Nick charged into his opponent and threw him against the wall. He followed up with a series of punches and strikes, scoring plenty of hits on the dark fox.
The ZPD officer then grabbed his counterpart and pushed him against the ice chipper machine.
“Goodbye,” Nick said.
The fox kneed his dark rival in the center of mass, stunning & disorienting him. In that second, with all his might, the ZPD officer threw his dark counterpart headfirst into the ice chipper. Screams quickly turned into low gurgling noises, as the top half of the dark fox disappeared into the device. The chipper soon ground to a halt, dripping and overloaded with material.
Nick breathed heavily, it was over, the other fox was gone. But Nick noticed that his enemy had dropped a communications device during the scuffle, which he quickly recovered.
“I think that was the hardest fight I’ve ever had,” Nick said to himself, grabbing a popsicle out of the freezer before leaving the snack bar, and heading to join the rest of Heroes.
000
The yacht was cleared, and US warships moved in to recover the hostages and take the vessel back to port.
Nick, Judy, Jack, & Skye were all commended by their friends for the exceptional work they displayed.
The Chinese had once more tried and failed to take Zootopia, & had suffered heavy losses. Another dark hero had been defeated, bringing their numbers down even more. This seemed like a time for celebration, but there were more pressing concerns. Analysis of the communications device recovered from Dark Nick revealed a disturbing recent transmission.
“Situation is too hot. To many hostile soldiers in the vicinity. Too far away from safehouses. Won’t put intelligence gathering operations at risk. Attempting to retreat via sea.”
This could only mean one thing. There was a network of Chinese spies in Zootopia.
