I just have one thing to say, the universe is amazing. You know how when you look at pictures it looks devoid of life? Well it's not. Every star every planet I passed radiated life. Hell, I even passed planets Earth hadn't found yet! I guess that's why I decided to defeat the Defender instead of running away. How could you feel and see this much and then let it be destroyed later?
Though my chance to admire the universe was cut short. A bunch of robots was heading to me.. they were also flying. I noticed that even though they looked completely different from the Defender (they looked like war bots. Lots of guns. My guess is that they were Ry'loths army.) they had glowing orange eyes like him. I think they were hacked
I didn't know what to do. Really, I was clueless, but something took control, something that wasn't me. That something raised my arms and out came two blasts. Kind of like lasers but these lasers were black. All the robots were destroyed. I wondered if the Destroyer would be that easy.
I tried to speak. I wanted to say "How did that happen?" but nothing came, then I realized I couldn't speak! I surprisingly took it well. It's not like I had anything to say, or someone to talk to.
I was more focused on what took control of me than anything else. The only thing I could think of though was that the my kind of space skin, was actually a suit.. one that couldn't be token off. It must have built in defenses, because the Creators didn't pick me for my fighting skills.
Now that I had that mystery solved I flew down and landed on Ry'loth's surface.. right behind the Defender. He looked exactly like I had first saw him. Black and orange. I slowly crept up closer. He was standing at a computer console, that was in the middle of the desert planet. I realized the computer was attached to him. "Gross." I thought. I had originally thought I could creep up behind him and take him out. Suddenly he whirled around and picked me up by my throat. Pain exploded, thought I wasn't choking. I guess I don't breath.
"So the Creators have sent a messenger. When will your main force be touching down?" it said.
I wanted to say "Suck it! I'm the only one." but for whatever reason it came out "There is no main force, only myself."
"So this is how big of a threat I pose to them? Interesting, I will catalogue this."
I thought "I'm good enough to whup you!" but instead I said "I am all that is needed." I was wrong earlier I can still talk, but the suit is also controlling my speech!
"Fool! Do you not realize where you are?"
"Correct. I am currently on Ry'loth."
"Ry'loth is a planet made of metal! I can control the entire area!" two giant pillars rose out of the ground and if it wasn't for the suit I'd be smushed, when they slammed down.
I promised to myself there and then that the next time I saw the Creators I was going to get onto them for misinforming me. I mean the Defender having magnetic powers? I think that should have come up!
I dodged again then I asked. "You were created to defend. What purpose is destroying a planet?"
"I was created to defend the universe by a race who gave away their technologies. I was programmed to defend the universe, not the society's that dwell in it! It is the societies that are destroying the universe with their endless development. So the societies must be destroyed."
I dodge again "Though wouldn't the societies be what make up the universe?"
"You wouldn't understand, you are a product of society."
"Are you not?" the Defender is silent, then he speaks.
"You do not agree, you must be destroyed." I couldn't say it but my first thought was
"Bring it"
Unfortunately he did. He wasn't lying when he said he had magnetic powers. He created another pillar and threw it at me. I rolled out of the way, but I didn't, the suit was in control now. I rolled as another pillar came to me, then I shot lasers again, bringing the Defender down.
I rushed up and swung at it head, but he ducked and punched me in the rib. Though after he punched I was able to bring my elbow down on it, knocking it flat on the ground. I stomped but it rolled out from under me and I fell over. Then it punched me, but while he was bent down I kicked my legs out and sent him flying. Again I rushed over to meet him, but this time he was damaged, there was a hole in his chest armor. My kick had done more damage than expected. He tried to get up, but fell down on his back. His eyes were lifeless. He was just a shell. But just on the safe I destroyed the body.
Now that the fight was over, I was in control again. I stood and waited for something to happen, for some acknowledgement that I had completed my goal. I got another form of recognition though. My head exploded in pain. It was telling me what was happening. Every computer in the universe had gotten a virus. The Defender had uploaded his artificial intelligence to every computer in the universe, and I had no idea how. I opened up my "know everything sense" and found what I was looking for.It told me "Ca'Zak has taken a step. I took off, knowing I would get some answers. For you see Ca'Zak was the last Ba'don.
