Intergalactic Warriors: An interlock

A fight with the claws of Iron

He was now standing. A storm was coming and soon the sandstorm will reach where he was. He knew that he has to wait for a few moment. His mission was done and if it's wasnt ..well that is no more his business. He has to see Firemetal and get back to LIQUIDSTEEL ,it was the base of the Xivallians and it was a big stationery spaceship on outer space close to the orbit and hangs above planet Xival. A crackled sound. Ironclaws paid attention, it repeated itself. He turned and there he was the least expected person, STORMRISER.

Stormriser was a lone wolf, he needs no park and no pact. He kills and never cares. He works for no one. Ironclaws has always been his nemesis. As long as Ironclaws knows Stormriser has always bwen travelling from one planet to another. And he alone knows what his mission, nobody else knows.

"Come to dine with the devil?" Ironclaws turned towards him." There is a storm coming" he pointed at the fast-approaching sandstorm.

Stormriser. An assailant on mask, with two swords, one of his sword was made of electrical discharge, that when one was struck with it, first they will be electrocuted then giving him the edge to kill the person with other steel. No one has seen Stormriser true identity not even Firemetal.

"Well old dear friend." Stormriser said." Came to tell your daddy what you found here?"

"Stormriser.... what I love about you"Ironclaws grimaced."...is the fact that you never stop making a fun on our meetings"

"Fun you say" The other assasin replied." Last I check we were fighting the last time we met"

"Oh" Ironclaws bellowed with laughter."you got me there. Yes that's true where I nearly wanted to gut out your balls from its socket" he laughed the more.with his mask on , the sound was convulsive.

Stormriser was puzzled. What was funny?

"Well"he said."I think you got it wrong my friend...I was the one that wanted to cut your tenor off. So its a win-win"

The storm was just only two kilometres towards them now.

"Then, let's go again my dear friend..No harm for a rematch" Ironclaws drew his sword.

Stormriser knodded. Then he likewise did same. First the steel blades then the electronic one.

Ironclaws was the first to attack. He striked but Stormriser dodged. He did same again now targeting Stormriser's chest but was blocked by the steel sword. Stormriser them kicked him on the temples, Ironclaws fell backwards, simultaneously somersaulted. He was now standing with his sword pointed towards Stormriser.

"You see my friend. Today may be the day that one of us gets out of this alive" Ironclaws was feeling confident and same time agitated.

"To be precise." Stormriser replied." I am long dead before you could say that. You can't kill a dead man again"

Now it Stormriser that attacked first. He was striking with all his zeal. Ironclaws was skillfully breaching the attacks, the clash of their swords making a resounding noise.

Stormriser kept striking as Ironclaws kept breaching. Ironclaws then with ease, leaped into the air and was swiftly at the back of Stormriser and stab him on the rib. Stormriser fell down but instantly regained his composure. An assasin shouldn't show weakness no matter what. He then without thinking much advanced towards Ironclaws, striked first abruptly with the steel sword, Ironclaws breached then he smite him with the electronic sword on the leg.

"Ugh" Ironclaws groaned.and went aback.

The sandstorm was now upon them. They could barely see each other. They were now fighting with instinct. Stormriser proceeded to take TRANSPARENT SPECTACLES from his pocket. Wearing it, he saw Ironclaws take to his heel amidst the storm. He sprinted towards likewise.

Ironclaws could trace the incoming a spacecraft that would soon be in sight with his tracker. He knew that looking back was danger. That BLOOD-CLOTTED heart Ironclaws would be behind. He ran as much as he could. He was no coward. But now was not time to bravery, he thought. Stormriser who was at his back, saw that Ironclaws was never going to stop, he searched for gun, a silent plated pistol made for space with poison coated bullets. One hit from this bullet paralyse one, if it hits the heart, it could kill one. He shot but missed, he repeated but still couldn't get Ironclaws.

"Damn" he muttered.

If he lose Ironclaws, he has as well lost the bounty's money. And the terrible storm wasnt helping things at all.

Having ran for a moment, he stopped the sandstorm has stopped. The sun was on its peak once more. Stormriser was looking at what direction Ironclaws would have gone. Where he were, was a desert, Infact, sixty five percent of Resmore was a desert. He removed the spectacles. He couldnt still male put yet where the fellow was. He thought he might have lost him. But something in him made him think that Ironclaws is still in hindsight. There were large rocks on closeby. Maybe he should go and check them. He was walking cautiously and was alert of any movement. Assasin know what other assails are capable of doing especially one in hiding. Any hideout was suspicious. His two swords were at his hands. He walked round each rock, to clear his curiosity.

Just when he had thought he has lost Ironclaws eventually. Their was the humming sound of a flying spacecraft approaching. It was sure definitely going to be the Xivallians. He knew they were coming. He then decidedipped to hide. This was no time to fight Firemetal, who knows he might be with them. The craft landed with the inscription"Xiv-814". Looks familiar. The first figure to emerge, was the scrupulous, dangerous, hard-hearted, power-driven and cosmic-powered FIREMETAL. He was almost seven feet tall, his physique exhibits aura and dominion, almost all part of his body looks enhanced. He has kinetic strenght and a manipulator. Looks like he was the only one that came out from the craft. He smelled the air.

"Damn outright" he grinned.

From nowhere, Ironclaws appeared.

"You terrible sneaker" Stormriser cursed. He wondered how he couldn't find him. Stormriser made sure that where he was, they couldn't see him and he had a better view of the who scenario. He was hiding in betwixt a two giant rocks that co-joined.

"Master"Ironclaws bowed.

"You have information " Firemetal said.

"Yes"

"GET IN"

Ironclaws proceeded towards the craft. Firemetal scanned the area with his eyes. He noticed a kind of movement within the rocks at the left far end. He dismisses it as nothing and then ascended into the craft that opened its mouth like the seawhale.
