“ I will never get used to this damn armor Arnuk. This is nothing like the armor I had back home” said Brom

Arnuk helped him adjust the armored strapped behind Brom's back.

“ Brom this armor is hundred times better plus you got to get with the times” Said Arnuk

The pilot switched the green signal on the airship and lowered the back pad. Below them was a forest that stretched for miles and beyond that the iron fortress of the Warlord. The moon was much brighter for tonight, and Brom knew would help then be unseen on the covers of darkness. The black armor both men had on was suited for night op missions. They went through the dark forest weapons ready at all times. After the long trek, they stopped and found cover in front of the onyx color compound. Brom looked used his abilities and used his dark vision, to see if there were any guards on the top of the ledge. He spotted three Tiger men with their AK-47 rifles strung across their chest. There was two on top of the ledge and the third one on the ground in front of the compound. The Tiger men looked anxious and kept walking back in fourth always on guard. Still hiding behind a dead tree Brom slid across to rank.

“ I’ll take the ones on the top, and you take the third on the bottom,” Said Brom

Arnuk looked at him as a crazed person

“ Where the hell is your pulse rifle? Did you leave it on purpose again?” Said Arnuk annoyed.

Brom couldn't help but chuckle at his friend's face and took out his katanas.

“ Oh you know I’m not a fan of those human weapons I like to get up close,” said Brom

Brom concentrated his Chi to his legs and jumped thirty feet in the air towards the two Tiger men on top. The tiger men didn’t have time to react as they saw a blur. Brom sliced the first Tiger man's arms off and drove his other sword through his temple. The second tiger man turned around and saw the bloody shreds of his comrade and raised his gun. Brom dogged him and sliced at his legs. The tiger man fell to the ground with his bloody stumps. He was about to scream in pain as the sword struck his head. Arnuk raised his large revolver and aimed at the third Tiger man and shot at his target. The tiger man head expounded like a pimple. His brains splattered aginst the wall behind him. Arnuk took out from his belt a grappling hook and joined his friend on top. They looked inside and found more guards. They took them out with quick precision. After taking out the guards, they went deeper inside and found the central circular level of the compound. Both men found some cover behind some walls, and they could see there were at least fifty large tiger men armed to the teeth. Then boom noticed the warlord with the scared right eye on his throne of human bones. Trakkios was lounging and slicing off meat from a dead deer carcass with his curved blade. He sat and stared at the eminence bonfire he created. Next to the warlord in a cage was the senator. The senator looked disheveled and his face covered in scratches and dust. Trakios knew tomorrow they would all be rich men and after the money was given to them, he would make a feast on the senator's bones and record the whole gruesome scene to the world. He stood up and just his metal armor. “My warriors tonight we celebrate because tomorrow we will be kings. With this wealth we will get from the weak government of the U.S.A, with the money coming in we can buy the bombs we need to make America crumble to our feet. They will fear the name Lord Trakkios, and the people will know the year of the tiger is opened them. Arnuk and Brom looked at each other and couldn't help but hold in their laughter.

“Who does this editor think he is taking over the world with just fifty men on some damn island” Brom thought. They heard enough of this guy Arnuk got from his gun belt and changed hs ammunition to his fire bullets. He rolled out and raised both revolvers and fired five shots. The bullets hit their targets and engulfed five tiger warriors into ash. The other soldiers heard this and turned to see an orc. Trakkios roared and told his men to fire back.

“ My warriors the enemy is here fight them to the death and show them what the strength of a tiger is!” Said Trakios. His men were shooting back, and Arnuked jumped across and rolled to cover the metal wall. Brom saw this and charged his Ki into his swords. The Swords turned to a light blue covering the blades in a wisp of energy. Brom jumped forward and swung his swords in a circular arc. The blue energy shot out and took the form of blades slicing the tiger warriors in layers of dead meat. The screams could be heard across the forest. Trakios was hit from the shockwave of this attack and flew off his throne. He staggered back up and couldn’t believe his eyes. Half of his men were gone, only twenty men left of his little club of terrorists. Brom staggered a little he knew that move does take a lot out of him. But he saw his friend cornered, and he needed to act fast. He saw from afar Arnuk racing towards him and helping him up.

“ Why the hell did you use that move of yours I was fine” Said Arnuk

“ Well you know me I’m always in the mood for theatrics,” said Brom laughing

They looked around and saw the tiger men stand up. It was two against twenty, and somehow Brom loved the idea of a challenge. The tiger man surrounded the two mercenaries with any weapon they could find in the compound. Brom and Arnuk were back to back wondering if they will die today. The Tiger men charged at the two warriors, Brom and Arnuk moved with such fluidity that it felt like a dance of death. Arnuk dodged and rolled around shooting his elemental bullets at his enemies in front of him some Tiger men were frozen or electrocuted to death. Arnuk dodged a sword slash and pushed the barrel into the tiger man's chest. Half of his chest exploded in a charred mess. Brom battle instincts kicked and remembered a time where he was surrounded by enemies and loved taking them all on. This was no different as he swings his blades in an upward ark taking out two heads in the process. He flipped in the air dodging bullets and slicing them in half. The Tiger men were shocked at how fast he was. He rewarded them expressions by slicing their stomachs open and having their intestines hang out. Trakkios couldn’t comprehend his men were being slaughtered everywhere. Who were these men to come to his island and picked his men off so quickly? He saw his second in command being sliced in half barely blocking the dwarf's attack with his sword. After the screams of his men had died down, he saw in front of him two men covered in his men's blood. Trakios kicked at his the cage and pulled out a grenade launcher. He began shooting wildly at Brom and Arnuk. Jumping out of the explosions like it was a game from was having fun. He didn’t think Arnuk was thinking the same thing. Arnuk dodged the blast and aimed at the barrel of the grenade launcher and fired. The bullet collided with the barrel and exploded on impact. Trakkios hand was blown apart. He screamed and slouched to his knees. He looked at his hand then saw the dwarf coming. The dwarf was coming closer sword drawn.

“ Please don’t kill me I beg of you. I didn’t mean to kidnap the senator” Blubbered Trakios.

“ You warlords are all the same just cowards hiding behind their men. Letting them do the work while you sit on your worthless throne. Burn in hell you son of a bitch” Said Brom

He raised his sword and moved in a downward arc slicing the warlord head in half. Brian and blood spread all over his throne. With the carnage in front of them, they took the senator out of his cage. His eyes tried to just from the flames and bodies around the compound. He had a look of surprise and astonishment.

“ Wait for an orc and a dwarf? Aren't, you guys, suppose to hate each other? Said the senator

“Yeah, we get that a lot senator I’m Brom, and this big guy is Arnuk. We are here to take you back to your family sir” said Brom

The senator was overjoyed that he couldn’t stop thanking them both. He was happy that this madness was over that he started to cry with happiness. Arnuk called in for the airship to pick them off the island. The mission has been useful and they took out a maniac who thought could change the world. In the airship, he couldn’t help but believe that there has to be something more. This mission was too easy for them. If felt like it was planned, but that was only his paranoid thoughts. He waved them away and closed his tired eyes and tried to dream of something better. From afar the corner of the forest, a man in a skull mask and a leather jacket stood on top of a tree and finished taking the photos of the carnage on the compound. He pulled from inside his coat and did an unknown number.

“ Sir its ghost and I have some great news. The sources were right Brom alive and kicked. I’ll keep a watchful eye on him. I won't pursue until you give the signal. Over and out” said Ghost

The unknown man put the phone away and snapped his fingers. A portal opened out of the air, and he stepped in with the portal closing behind him.
