Anarchy Unlimited

Chapter 4

Tank awakens.. What happened?.. He remembers an explosion.. Matt! Where's Matt. I have to get up.. ARG! Sharp pain.. Tanks falls back into unconsciousness..

Hours before..

Matt: "But you didn't, your under alot of pressure. I owe you so much, my life over and over again"

Tank: "No you don't you don't owe me anything.. your my brother.."

Matt: "That's my point.. Tank.. you don't owe anyone anything, you have always given 1000 percent +... now come on get in bed ok? Get a good nites sleep, and tomorrow we'll take the day off and go play some astro ball? how bout that.. I'll kick your ass again"

Tank laughs.. "Ok bro.."

Matt: "goodnight Tank"

and than...

INVASION...

Tank and Matt walk out into the hallway to a very strange sight.. empty hallways.. no sounds whatsoever, which seemed very odd to both of them as there was always a radio blaring, people talking, something.. But on this horrid night there is absolutely no sounds to hear..

Matt: "This is strange I feel like I just walked into an episode of the twilight zone.. "

Tank: "Yeah no kidding.. we better head to the council chambers and see what's going......" Tank is interrupted by an explosion, Tank quickly motions Matt to stand in back of him.. Armor plated robots with very big guns emerge in front of Tank.. "We’ve come for Matthew" the lead robot says..

Tank: "You want Matt your going to have to come through me to get him!"

Lead Robot: "So be it.."

At a glance Tank counts 6 of them.. Suddenly every robot fires their blaster at Tank, the Lasers pierce Tanks skin, but he will not fall. if he falls he has failed.. Than another explosion in back of them, more armour plated assholes.. Tank and Matt are surrounded..

Tank: "MATT FOLLOW ME!!!" suddenly like a bowling ball racing down a bowling alley, Tank Runs, runs as fast and as hard as he can toward the 6 bots in front of him, Tank bulldogs his way through without a problem, "STRIKE!!" he yells gloriously!!

Matt: "Why aren’t the other ones shooting at us?!?!"

Tank: "Probably because they want you alive, get behind me again! NOW!"

Tank stops running and turns around and stands his ground with Matthew behind him. Matt knew Tank would never run from a fight. The bots stop a few feet away from them..

Robot: "Give us Matthew and we won't have to kill your stupid ass"

Tank: "News flash from the surgeon generals office boys, I'm bad for your health!" Tanks giant hand smashes into the bot in front sending it flying into the other robots, Tank grabs another bot and throws it through the wall, Tanks arms pound the ground causing the earth beneath them to shake..

And than, 

Darkness....

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

The Moirai cruiser drove slowly through space. Silently, like in the dead of night. Its elegance only interrupted by the dispersion's of the odd nebula.

Inside, the Moirai counsellor sits, staring into space. He appears mesmerized. He does note the dreary interior of the cruiser. He is elsewhere. Dwindling on times past, present and the future.

Atropos at one time could not see the future. He saw only the present. He could not see past the treaties, negotiations, compromises and appeasement's that his government had made. He had fought long and hard with his companions. Anarchy, the spirit of change and freedom; Katrina, the representative of love and caring and Libby, the source of wisdom, truth and justice.

But now...

It was all blurred. He had fought for a way of life that was not his own. He had fought for others way of life

"You will come to me soon."

He hears the voice of Massacre. He hears the voice of something familiar. Something like a call to arms.

He reflected. He had been called one day sooner by Lachesis. He must come at once, at the utmost importance. All had changed. The future of civilization depended on this.

But why? What was the connection here? Massacre, the Moirai? Why had he been so stern with his most valued companion; Anarchy? 'I must leave'.

True, he had begun to resent his position as 'personal intelligence for Anarchy'. Yet, this was Anarchy. His most trusted ally. Somehow, this time, the Moirai had to come first. In his senses, he knew that something had happened.

A strong part of him remembers the old teachings. The beginning of the new order. The beginning of the new great dynasty of the Moirai. Atropos, being the human that he is wishes that he is part of this. A new order that can bring peace and tranquillity to the troubled galaxy. He wants this more than anything. Is the truth finally coming?

The Moirai counsellor sits and stares. He is elsewhere still.

Perhaps he has been led astray. perhaps Anarchy has kept him down. Perhaps it was his calling to bring the new order. Who is Anarchy to challenge? The Moirai....the oldest and wisest of the mystic ways.

But Massacre....

"Why would I kneel to him?" Atropos speaks aloud.

There is a greater picture. Perhaps a united new Moirai order will bring this unity that Atropos seeks. Finally bring the acceptance that the Moirai would desire...After all, Atropos is Moirai and after all, lets think about where his loyalties lie; is he human, looking for some kind of compromised peace with all? Or is he Moirai, the ancient rulers, who are destined to rule again? He is one of THEM.

Atropos stands up. His mind is made. He must seek out those that would call to arms. He must seek out those that can make his unity.

"You will kneel before me"

He heads for the planet of the Moirai. A new, desolate planet chosen by Lachesis and Clotho. A place for them to practice without prejudice. A place for them to refine the truth....

When there, he will send his ship back. Those who know the truth of this way will follow....

His mind focuses on two things;

He is Moirai....

He seeks Matthew.....
