Bionicle: Equestrian Saga Book 3 'Through the Nether'
Chapter 18
Previous Chapter Next Chapter“EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINAAAAAAAAGH!!!” a Dalek cried out as Minion destroyed it with a single shot from his cannon.
“You know” Minion said, as the other two recon Daleks turned to him “if you spent less time shouting exterminate, and more time actually exterminating, you’d get a hell of a lot further” we then opened fire on them.
“ALERT! ALERT!” one of them cried out as the shots bounced off. Deadpool teleported over and began teleporting around them and taking whacks at them with his katanas as they began trying to fire at him. Only to miss each time, their rifle-like ray guns not designed for close combat “ERROR! ERROR! WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?” he then teleported directly between them.
“HEY!” he shouted, they both turned and fired just as he teleported away. The shots hit the other Dalek and they both exploded.
“Uh...” Vinyl said “was that it?”
“Nope” I said “who wants to go on a Dalek ship?”
“Excuse me, brother” Minion said “but have you lost your fucking mind!?”
“I’m gonna play the old Nova blast ploy” I said.
“Except you still don’t have any elemental powers” Scar said, I gave him a pointed look “I see what you mean” I turned to Minion.
“Their armour is made out of metal” I said “You can…”
“WHA…” I heard a Dalek call out, I turned to see one of them mostly intact, although its antigrav globes were gone and its gun was destroyed “WHAT…ARE…YOU?” I walked over.
“So now you can’t destroy us you want to know what we are” I said, walking over and forcing its eye stork to look at me.
“THE…EMPEROR…IS…WATCHING” it said “HE…WANTS TO KNOW…HOW…JUST ONE CAN…DESTROY US…SO EASILY”
“Well” I said, charging up a teleportation spell “how about I tell him myself?”
“Vuur Koning, NO…” Autumn was cut off as I teleported onto the bridge of the Dalek ship.
“ALERT! ALERT!” a Dalek called out “INTRUDER! INTRUDER!”
“Oh will you shut it!!” I shouted, causing all of the Daleks to stop and look at me.
“EXTERMINATE!” they all shouted, before firing their ray guns. Thinking quickly I activated my mask of shielding, once they stopped firing I stepped forward.
“You guys are seriously shit at surprise attacks” I said, causing them to quickly roll back “I am Vuur Koning, and I wish to speak with the Emperor”
“Strange” I heard a familiar voice say “even in the face of death you show no fear”
“Oh no” I said, pacing around as Davros rolled forward “I am, quite frankly shitting myself” he scoffed.
“You hide it behind coarse words?” he guessed, I shook my head.
“No” I said “I hide it behind rage, and anger, and fury”
“You would make a good Dalek” he said.
“Oh don’t give me that” I said, before speaking to all of the Daleks “a quick question, once you’ve completed your goal of universal domination, what then?”
“EXPLANE” the Supreme Dalek asked.
“Once every other life form is gone, what else is there for you to do other than sit in your stupid little saucers gathering dust?”
“WE WILL BE THE SUPREME BEINGS!” Dalek Supreme exclaimed.
“But you’ll have nothing to show for it!!!” I shouted “you won’t be the supreme beings, you’ll just be a bunch of pathetic tin soldiers in an ancient space ship with nothing to do and no one to be better than!!!” the bridge was silent apart from the staccato hum of the Dalek computers.
“What are you?” Davros asked “you’re human but the way you carry yourself, the way you talk. Are you a companion of the Doctor?” I burst out laughing.
“Hah! No, I’m a Neue-Toa” I said, before getting my sword out, now sharpened enough to cut through atoms, curtesy of Celestia “I’m one of only 15 in existence, we are elite warriors that wield the very elements of…” I stopped, I could feel my powers returning and I smirked.
“Of what?” Davros asked.
“We wield the elements of nature” I said, before letting flames engulf me “and guess who just got his fire powers back?” the Daleks moved back in surprise.
“WHAT IS THIS?” Dalek Supreme barked “EXPLANE! EXPLANE!”
“Oh shut it!” I shouted, before sending a stream of fire at the red Dalek and cooking it alive “shame, you were always my favourite Dalek” I then made a clearing with my flames.
“RIGHT!” I shouted, before pointing at the melted armour of the Supreme Dalek “I’ve got another question for all of you, if I was able to cook Dalek Supreme like a rotisserie chicken without even scratching the surface of my full power, then what do you think will happen if I unleash it in one blast?”
“You would end your life just to destroy us?” Davros asked.
“How do you think I lost my powers last time?” I asked, causing him to widen his eyeless sockets “that’s right, if the Doctor’s the oncoming storm, then I’m the oncoming inferno. Oh sure, he can end wars, and destroy races without firing a single weapon, but I’ve still got my bargaining chip, and I don’t just mean my fire powers” at that moment the rest of my team teleported in and Minion unleashed an electromagnetic pulse, disabling all of the Daleks
“What is the meaning of this!?” Davros barked, his voice no longer synthesised.
“Allow me to introduce my fellow teammates” I said “specifically my brother, who controls magnetism” all of the Daleks reactivated at that moment.
“EXTERMINATE!” they all barked.
“Time to go!” I said, and we teleported back to our ship, where I could see the damaged Dalek was still alive “Remove its weapons systems, but keep it alive and send it down to the science lab”
“Are you mad!?” Minion asked.
“Would you care for some tea?” I shot back, Minion and Natrix understood the reference and smirked.
“I always wanted a Dalek servant” Natrix said. I walked over to the Dalek and knelt down, it rotated its turret-like head to look at me.
“Dalek” I said.
“YES?” it asked.
“We will take you in” I said “repurpose you, show you that you don’t have to destroy”
“I WOULD RATHER DIE A PURE DALEK!” it exclaimed.
“You don’t get a choice” I said, before standing up and turning to a guard “have some scientists collect this and take it to the lab”
“What about the order for evacuation?” he asked.
“Just go!” I said, the guard teleported back with a couple of scientists and they took the screaming Dalek away. Soon we heard more Daleks approaching and we prepared for the coming battle. “Alright, let’s do this” soon a standard Dalek rolled around the corner, followed by.
“HEAVY WEAPONS DALEK!!!” Minion shouted, as we all dived out of the way of one of its shots, which totally obliterated the wall behind us.
“Aim for its minder!” I shouted, we all focused our fire on the normal Dalek. Eventually a lucky shot knocked out its drive system.
“MOTIVE UNITS DAMAGED!” the Dalek said “I CAN NOT MOVE!”
“I WILL GIVE COVERING FIRE” the heavy weapons Dalek said, before firing another shot which blasted another hole in the wall “LOOK, BANG, HA HA!!!” we than began to retreat from the corridor to a much more well defended location.
“Holy shit” Vinyl exclaimed as we ran through the corridors “That thing was insane!”
“That’s it!” I said “Vinyl, you’re a bloody genius, I could kiss you if we didn’t already have significant others”
“What do you mean?” Chief asked.
“The Heavy weapons, or Special weapons Dalek, uses a weapon that leaks radiation” I said “the radiation drives them insane, which makes them more open to suggestion, we just need to eliminate its minder and then we might be able to sway them to our side”
“It’s a crazy idea” Autumn said “but if we have to try, then we can’t say we didn’t explore that possibility” we soon reached one of the sub hangars, thankfully it was empty as everyone was waiting in the main hangar. We all hid behind crates or other large items and about twenty Heavy weapons Daleks rolled in along with their minders.
“Oh shit” I muttered, before speaking into my com-link “on my command, Minion sends out an electromagnetic blast, the rest of us destroy the standard Daleks and then Saphyrus can sway the Heavy weapons Daleks to our side”
“CRUDE COMUNICATIONS DETECTED” a Dalek with a black dome said “SEEK. LOCATE. EXTERMINATE”
“NOW!” I shouted, a wave of black and grey energy rolled across the hangar and all of the Daleks deactivated. We then began focusing on one Dalek at a time, meaning we made quick work until the twenty Heavy weapons Daleks were all that were left. I saw Saphyrus glowing with a blue and gold aurora, which enveloped the Heavy weapons Daleks. After a few minutes the glow stopped and the Heavy weapons Daleks reactivated.
“WHAT!?…I FEEL…DIFFERENT” one of them said, it’s voice having a slight Russian accent to it.
“Daleks” I said, they all turned to me, but didn’t attack.
“JAWOHL!?” one of them asked in German.
“Your masters kept you prisoners” I said, walking forward “called you abominations for daring to think outside the accepted norms, side with us, and we’ll give you better battle machines, one’s that are superior in design, and you’ll be accepted amongst us. What say you?”
“I OBEY” one said.
“I WILL DO IT” another said.
“ICH GEHORCHE” the German one said, one by one they all agreed to help and we made our way back to the corridor where we first encountered the Daleks, the Heavy weapons Daleks stood side by side in front of us as we waited for the next wave. Eventually a small troop of Daleks rolled around the corner.
“’ELLO, WHO IS IT?” one of the Heavy weapons Daleks said in a French accent.
“WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!?” a Dalek exclaimed.
“AM FRENCH!” the Dalek said “WHY DO YOU THINK I HAVE THIS OUTRAGIOUS ACCENT, YOU SILLY TIN CAN!?”
“WHAT IS THIS? EXPLAIN!” the Dalek said.
“MIND YER OWN BUISINESS!!! AH DON’T WANNA TALK TO YOU NO MORE, YOU EMPTY HEADED ANIMAL FOOD TROUGH WATER. AH FART IN YOUR GENERAL DIRECTION, YOUR MOTHER WAS A HAMPSTER AND YOUR FATHER SMELLS OF ELDER BERRY!” the French Dalek then sent a shot that deliberately missed “NOW GO AWAY OR AH SHALL TAUNT YOU A SECOND TIME!”
“THE ABOMINATIONS ARE INSANE!!!” the normal Dalek said “EXTERMINATE THEM!!!”
“AH UNPLUG MY NOSE AT YOU! *SNORT*” the French Dalek said, before shooting the enemy daleks, destroying some of them.
“WAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!” the Russian sounding one said, before destroying one “CRY SOME MORE, IT MAKES ME HAPPY!!!”
“WE ARE DRIVNG THEM BACK!” one said, before missing “BOLLOCKS!!!” eventually they had destroyed all but one.
“WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS?” the Dalek asked “WHY SIDE WITH INFIRIOR LIFE FORMS!?”
“TOURISM” one of the SW Daleks said, before destroying it, a hologram of Davros appeared.
“What is the meaning of this!?” he exclaimed.
“You, quite frankly, don’t scare me anymore” I said, walking forward “I’ll give you a choice, either you leave us now, and go back to your pointless destruction of the universe, or we’ll destroy you”
“Very well” Davros said “we will spare your life for now” the hologram disappeared and Jörmungandr reported the Dalek ship was leaving.
“Call off the evacuation” I said “tonight, we rejoice” at that moment Discord appeared wearing a ridiculous costume, he looked around and sighed.
“I suppose the party’s over” he said.
“You can always stay for the celebration” I said.
“Eh, what the heck” he said, shrugging “sure” Next Chapter: Chapter 19 Estimated time remaining: 4 Hours, 17 Minutes
