And a yellow beast arose as if it had been born on the very land of Magog itself. It’s three heads hungered as they hissed and snapped at the very air around them. Their combined eyes raged with energy, each one of them blazing as if they were the sun itself. Their heads arose high, almost toward the Heavens forcing Adam to take a few steps back at the sight before him.
Maybe I was a little hasty for shooting you the way I did, Love, uttered Adam, the hesitancy in his voice chopping his humorous attempt to diffuse the situation. Rest assured, I too do not care for the matters of Earth.
Madison stern look would not be swayed, her determination obvious as it was evident that both were birthed from her icy heart. With not even a moment of hesitation she commanded her new beast to attack, their fiery breathe super charging the air as it rained down at Adam.
Adam could do nothing more than take cover under his cape, delaying the inevitable as Death waited for its new prize. He could feel Deaths cold eyes peer into the holes slowly created by the attack. Adam’s breathe would quicken, the perspiration all but finished as the heat was beginning to be as fatal as the flames itself which began to crawl up his back.
Adam would begin to scream in agony, not knowing if the Talmud Queen even heard his misery. His nose would be filled with the aroma of his own flesh burning. He had never encountered one of the Talmud, but he would vouche for their ferociousness if he survived his initial encounter.
His options were limited, the pain excruciating, and his time running short. His eyes locked onto the many chasms which opened upon the land by the revelation of the Power Batteries. The irony that Magog could be his savior left a sour taste in the space pirate’s mouth.
Adam would grab two capsules once again, the vortex capsule creating a short burst of concentrated air, hopefully dispersing the fire while also unleashing the cryo capsule, which would solidify the area in a block of ice to shield him from the dragons breathe. Madison had the obvious advantage, especially with the arena at hand, thus he would time both capsules with the igniting of his booster boots. It would be a short burst, one created for short travel from one vessel to another, but the burst would send him close to the chasm .
He was running. He wouldn’t deny it, but broken pride would heal much quicker than being burnt alive. The burst would cut as expected, sending Adam falling into a deep cavern with no ending, his boots firing sporadic burst to get deeper into the cavern until the darkness of Magog inner layers consumed him. He readied his pistol, hoping to take one final shot at the Talmud witch if presented, only the solid surface of a deep cavern welcoming the maze which was truly Magog.
His eyes would adjust to the pitch black as his hand guided his way through the familiar cavern walls, shafts too narrow for her dragon to follow. There was always the possibility of a cave in, but Adam was a digger, expecting such a scenario as his energy saber even created a few intended collapses. He would crawl and dig through the entire prison planet if needed to get to his ship, the Quasimodo. He would see Madison once again, whether it be soon if she followed him down into Magog or later with the full force of revenge fueling his lone desire.
As the Fighting Queen engaged the pirate, craters on Planet began to open revealing underground ship storages. It was here that the power batteries destined for Earth rest
Adam had noticed he had struck a nerve with the Talmut Queen, his view uninterrupted as she balled up her fist in annoyance to his presence. He would get caught in the flood of energy which she released, his cybernetic eyes doing their best to filter out the unexpected distraction. Her attack did not pierce any of his being, thus its intense magnitude meant to cause retina distortion causing the eye itself to close causing blindness. Luckily, Adam was used to operating in the darkness, he was raised in it, his cybernetic eyes given to him as a youth amongst the asteroid minds to keep operating in darkness while the intense flare of his mining blade sliced through rock and metal. Adam viewed the world differently, good and evil blending into the standard gray which he viewed the galaxy.
The attack still had some effect, his cybernetic upgrades filtering out the sudden surge of energy from his unexpected opponent, momentarily losing his target. He had spent years amongst the outer rim gladiatorial circuit after he escaped the asteroid mines. It was there he fine tuned his skills of survival and death. Action became instinct. He had learned for every strike there was parry. For every attack a counter. He would need a moment for his eyes to adjust, but also need that same moment to stay alive. There was no time to think, only to react if he were to stay alive.
Adam's body readied, his Marauder Box informing Adam of an energy signature forming for a strike to his flank. Adam's eyes focused, the blur of color solidifying into a sword mere inches from his face, grazing part of his shoulder as he shifted his body into that of a tumble away from her strike. The wench tried to kill me, Adam thought while forming other silent expletives as one hand grabbed his own energy saber, its eruption causing a noticeable hum, while the other hand released two cartridges from his belt which held his cartridges to his blaster. There would be no care for which cartridge he would release from his belt, his hand activating the first two which would be the sonic cartridge and the explosive cartridge, both releasing their designed effect much like a grenade following Adam's path. The effect would be that of creating time, if it also damaged his opponent it would be a blessing, but his hand would slide to his pistol drawing it toward Madison once he tumbled to his feet, squeezing the trigger on instinct and first sight of the Talmut Queen.
The ground beneath them would upon, as if the planet itself was trying to swallow Adam whole. He would not recognize the Power Batteries but the chasm which they created was a welcomed appearance, seemingly altering the ground beneath them which was their battle field.
