Colossus By Design: Entry 0090 - Time For Round 2

[January 1, 2146]
[Antarctica]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Epsilon, unfazed by the bristling antarctic winds, continues to jump up and down on the ground topside, directly over the many sub-levels of G.U.D. Headquarters.

As it stomps, electrical energy courses across its massive golden body. The creature cackles and shrieks with the demeanor of a psychopath, if one could even apply that term to P.E.M.F.s.

Within the complex, personnel and international figures scatter about, evacuating to safety zones to try and weather out the assault. In particular, the head scientists and world leaders gather in one such area.


(Denouncer Daiyu Chen): Dammit, where are the Warmongers, Director?!?


(Dr. Jiro Ifukube): I'm sorry, Denouncer, but they were scrambled a few days ago searching the continents for P.E.M.F. activity! Even if we could contact them, it'd take a few days to get here!


Another quake shakes the surrounding foundation, creating more panic among the evacuees.

Back up topside, the Epsilon's jumping begins to crack the ground below it, with each quake causing increasing structural damage to the infrastructure below. Varying military forces on the ground and in the air hit the creature with everything possible, but this only serve to briefly gain its attention.

The Epsilon, showing barely visible annoyance at the futile attempts by the little bugs beneath it, sends out electrical streams in all directions that decimate huge swathes of the military forces.

Back underground, the head scientists and world leaders remain huddled up in a safe room; the walls around them begin to display cracks. As the group cowers in utter fear, a deep and low-sounding rumble, the sound of a roar, resonates throughout the structure, instantly getting the attention of everyone.

Not only is the attention of the survivors caught, but the Epsilon's as well. The great destroyer turns around, just barely able make out an approaching shadow through the snowy blizzard; he knows all too well the identity of the challenger. The Epsilon cackles loudly, and the approaching shape responds in kind.


"SKREEEEEEEOOOOOONNNNK!!!!!!!!"


The Alpha steps onto the land from the sea, continuing to roar at his rival. Both titans begin to walk towards each other; they're all too familiar with each other. Lightning illuminates the area with each strike, showcasing the intense fury both parties display for each other.

As both near each other, the Alpha suddenly paces towards the Epsilon at a much brisker pace, slamming into his opponent and beginning a powerful push. The Epsilon struggles to hold the Alpha back as the latter shoves the Epsilon straight into the surface building of the G.U.D. Headquarters.

The force of the shove sends the Epsilon onto its back; its three heads flail about and cackle madly. As the Alpha approaches to assault his downed opponent, the Epsilon's mouths begin to brim with electrical energy before letting loose a triplet of electrical energy streams all at the Alpha's upper torso, causing the Alpha great pain. He cries out a bit before the electrical stream discontinues, and the giant falls to the ground.

While the Alpha is down, the Epsilon rises to a standing position despite the lack of arms; he's encased in an electrical field whilst doing so. Once back on its two feet, the Epsilon walks up to the still downed Alpha and proceeds to jump on top of him, using its immense size and gravity-defying jumping prowess to repeatedly slam up and down on the Alpha.

The downed titan is visibly in pain and crying out with each blow. However, with his dorsal plates beginning to glow blue, the Alpha lets loose a roar before sending out his pulse attack, catching the three-headed monster off guard and sending it flying off of him and to the ground; its three heads flail wildly after the pulse.

Both parties are now heavily injured and begin to rise to their feet weakly, barely able to stand as they look at each other. The Epsilon, though injured, begins to charge up his electrical beams once again. Just as he lets loose his attack, the Alpha quickly ducks beneath them and slams into the Epsilon with a powerful thud, sending him backwards slightly.

The Epsilon, put off-balance by the sudden body slam, is unable to stop the Alpha, whose dorsal plates start to glow a brighter blue hue. He lets out an intense plasma stream directly at the Epsilon's core body; the sheer force and heat of the attack causes the hydra to recoil in pain.

The Alpha, seeing his opponent stunned further, goes up to the Epsilon and bites down on its middle head. He then quickly moves his head to the side, tossing the Epsilon straight into the nearby mountain and causing the snow on its peak to fall off.

The Epsilon, now critically injured, begins to fly weakly off into the distance with a wobbly and uncoordinated disposition. The Alpha, triumphant but unsuccessful in landing the killing blow, roars loudly in the direction where the Epsilon headed off to. He begins to walk back towards the ocean, but he collapses before he can reach it; the Alpha is now unconscious.n reach it, falling unconscious.
