Chapter 287: Phallic Wars

Inside the Command Center of Fifth Fortress, the Commander and the other soldiers had to take sides. Many of those who were Planteds were forced to talk about what they know about the Presiders.

"Who is this Presider?" Commander shouted in rage. The worries of the battle outside, General Barak's mysterious actions on the air, and the conflict within had made Commander Owens fall into the brink of despair. He shot one Planted who was called into the room and threatened to kill again.

The rest of the soldiers were forced to keep on scanning the surrounding areas for any possible signal. They were also searching for the return of the WGP.

"Maver! Tell me what you know! I do not have time for these stupid games! Who is the Presider?"

"I don't know!"

Bang!

Another Planted who was brought inside was shot at the head.

Bang!

"AHHH!" Maver was shot at the leg.

The surrounding soldiers did nothing. The moment Commander Owens began questioning them about the Presider, almost all Planteds lost their color. It was clear that they knew something about this Presider and agreed with Commander Owens's drastic and brutal methods.

"Tell me!" Owens then aimed for another Planted.

"Ah! No! Don't!"

"Tell me who this Presider is?!"

BOOM!

The heart of the Planted erupted, and the blood and gore exploded out. The small bomb inside his heart was triggered.

The rest of the Planted's expression had turned sour. Many began to bite their tongue or take in deep breathes.

The entire chest of the Planted was wide open, and the organs were sent everywhere. These were Planteds, and as such, they all had planted bombs in their heart.

Owens felt his heart freeze as he saw that.

He stumbled down to his butt.

"Ho-How?" He couldn't understand it. All of his soldiers underwent various scans, and none of them had detected a device planted in their hearts.

BOOM!

Another explosion occurred, and another Planted's body fell down.

"Commander. Promise not to kill us. Your words and questions and the rising fear in us that causes our hearts to beat are the triggers." Maver said slowly. His arms were trembling.

"A bomb! You have a bomb planted on your heart!" One of the soldiers murmured in shock.

"Planted… So this is what it means!" Owens turned to Maver.

"You are Planteds… I understand now… " Owens gazed at them with a very strange expression.

"We can tell you the information, but the trigger in our hearts have already been revealed. It's fear and words that you have said that cause these bombs to blow up." Maver spoke slowly and very clearly, trying to keep his emotions in check.

"Sir! We have detected powerful electrical signals from the sea! And it's surfacing!"

"Can the Behemoth detect or see it?"

"Behemoth 1, we need visuals on the surging energy. Do you copy?"

"Acknowledged, HQ." The pilot answered and immediately began to move to meet the approaching energy.

More of the sands began to gather around it and formed a large lizard-like creature.

Because of this, the strength of the sandstorm weakened as it focused on a specific energy point.

At this moment, the Kyogre moved at full speed.

"Hey, kiddies! You better move! I can only help you until about a hundred meters from the sea. After that, I got to retreat and get Dolphy."

The storm had begun to fade as the Kyogre moved closer and closer towards the shore.

The Exoskeletons and the Armors, along with the mortars, immediately began to attack the Kyogre.

But the Kyogre did not evade this time but rushed forward to meet all the attacks. If it began to employ its evasive maneuvers or use other means to block the attacks, it would slow down its charge and could reveal the WGP Exoskeletons.

"Alright… Now, where was that button? Right. There it is. Walls of Jericho recording number three." Vender selected the protocol.

"Activating Romeo Alpha Protocol. This protocol is a one-time use, sound shield. Do you confirm?" A voice similar to that of Lennox confirmed the protocol.

"Confirm." Vender confirmed.

A powerful sound force erupted and created a sound shield.

The sound of drums echoed out before it led into a disco dance styled instrumental with synthesizers, guitars, and other musical instruments.

The volley of attacks, which consisted of rockets, lasers, bullets, and mortar shells, approached the Kyogre, but then the vocals finally began, which created a powerful sound shield that enveloped the Kyogre.

"We're no strangers to love! You know the rules, and so do I." The voice sang.

"A full commitment's what I'm thinking of… You wouldn't get this from any other guy!"

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The Caliphates' attacks reached the force field, and a series of great explosions that caused the shield didn't even waver or showed signs of withering.

"Is that…? Rick Astley?" Vender's Wife marveled as she recognized the legend of the Post Modern Era.

"I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling… Gotta make you understand." Richie's voice continued to sing.

"Never gonna give you up! Never gonna let you down! Never gonna run around and desert you!"

"Never gonna make you cry! Never gonna say goodbye! Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you!"

The sudden broadcast that took everyone's attention was played all over the base.

But what was amazing was the powerful shield that could take on the entire salvo of the base.

The Kyogre rose from the sea and flew higher, and continued to take on the attacks.

Magantae and her team took advantage of this distraction and rushed towards a rather unguarded portion of the base.

At that moment, a powerful lightning bolt charged out of the sea as an Exoskeleton emerged and charged towards the large sand monster.

The Exoskeleton's movement was so fast that before the large Behemoth could attack, the Exoskeleton had already pierced through the sand head of this creature.

SMASH!

The Lightning energy vanished as the Exoskeleton went into a freefall. The sand had immediately begun to attack it and invade all possible gaps within the suit.

"I will not die!" Salathiel's angry roar exploded, and another powerful lightning explosion occurred. But this time, the lightning had a strange reddish hue, which was unlike the bluish blast that Lowengren's metal cubes had.

"It's Commander Salathiel!" Just as the WGP Commanders successfully infiltrated the base, they immediately identified their ally.

BOOM!

The sands erupted as the Commander's Exoskeleton broke-free from the sands and charged to the skies.

"Lock on to that Exoskeleton! I need visuals at all times!" Owens immediately ordered.

The nearby soldiers immediately moved to keep the spotlight towards the Exoskeleton, and the large Behemoth caused the sand near the Exoskeleton to glow red to make the area visible.

There, the soldiers finally saw the form of the Exoskeleton.

"It's- It's!" Maver saw the screens and recognized them.

All over the Exoskeleton, protruding shapes followed the same form of the weapons that Maver made his Planteds use.

"Dildos!" Magantae exclaimed as she saw it.

Lightning Energy continued to zap out of Salathiel's Exoskeleton. And the flashes kept on illuminating its terrifying form.

"He did it! He managed to incorporate the dildo on to his Exoskeleton!" Commander Drinths trembled in joy.

"He must have done this to draw the Commander and leave the ship." One of the Commanders couldn't help but conclude. A twinge of guilt covered his heart. The only logical conclusion was that Salathiel had done this to allow Magantae to retreat and head to the vessel. But they decided to use his sacrifice as an opportunity to infiltrate the base.

"What are you saying? We follow the Fleet Admiral's order. We can still save Salathiel!" Another Commander berated.

"This is our choice! No point hesitating!" The Commander added.

The Kyogre had already retreated as the amazing song reached its conclusion, and the Walls of Jericho ended.

"Oh my goodness! That's some hardcore Exoskeleton right there! Isn't that a WGP Exoskeleton?" Vender broadcasted, which was heard all over the base again.

"The blue vessel has retreated! I want half of the army to attack that Exoskeleton! And bring me one of those dildos!" Owens commanded.

The army reformed and began to move towards the location of this lone Exoskeleton.

"Behemoth 1! Attack that eye-sore!" Owens ordered.

The Behemoth moved, and the sand storm raged once more. The mouth of the Behemoth opened, and a red light started to appear on it. But just as it was to fire…

BOOM!

A crystal-like green horn smashed at the back of the large Behemoth. It pushed through the sandy body and struck something hard.

The large sand monster suddenly began to crumble as a large Armor was pushed out of the sand monster's body.

"Sir! The Behemoth was attacked!"

"Reform that sand form and harden it! Activate Sand Hardening protocols!"

"We don't have enough energy to do that!"

"Activate all emergency power protocols! I don't care if we don't have permission! If that Behemoth is destroyed, we will all die!" Owens shouted.

The sand swiftly rushed towards the large Armor that had stumbled and began to reform into the Behemoth.

The Kyogre that was retreating fired several rounds of mortars aiming at the floating green horn.

"You're here, too? Die you green dragon!" Vender shouted as the attacks struck the green horn.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Several explosions rocked the green horn, but it was unfazed. And as the armies watched, they were surprised as it looked as if the flames from the explosions were being devoured.

"It's eating the explosion?" Maver marveled.

"Is it Eradication?" Owens asked a soldier.

"No, Sir! It does not resemble Pangean tech! It has radiation but no heat!"

Several cracks appeared around the strange green horn.

Soon the hard casing of the horn fell down and revealed bright green energy.

The green hue formed the shape of a long green serpent with two arms.

"Desolation and Cold Fusion? Acting together?" Lowengren couldn't help but comment in the darkness.

"The couple have been progressing in their combat abilities. Meng was kind enough to send me their analysis. It's weak but to put on a show is easy. That's why I had Vender use weak rounds to make it look like it's strong."

"You Overcomers are disgusting. But seriously…? Rayquaza?"

"It's a fitting end for this battle." Lennox V2.3 answered.

"You're insane!" Lowengren cursed.

"I prefer the term passionate."

"What… is that?!" Pioneer Flantter, who was at the side, was stunned at what he saw.

"The design! No doubt! It's similar to Presider Straviaa's design! This suit! I can detect some similarities!" Flantter exclaimed.

"You better report that to Straviaa. Butlet me tell you a secret. Pridgeon has long believed that someone among the Presiders has already discovered the legacy of the Lost Primordial. And he is slowly feeding information to those people! So be wary, Flantter! Presiders will soon begin to kill and devour each other."

Flantter was stunned and immediately began to note the techs.

"If you reveal to Presider Straviaa that this Exoskeleton has some strange green desolate tech or cold fusion, it will make her greedy. It's up to you if you want to report it. But Presider Pridgeon would rather have that information to himself." Lowengren added.

"I-I understand! I'll only report the similarities of the Supreme Exoskeleton!"

As Flantter continued to scan the schematics of both, he was bothered.

"If I may ask…"

"Yes?"

"Why is it that they have those… those strange weapons?"

"What? Your suit isn't equipped with that?" Lowengren asked with a strange tone.

"E-equipped?"

"It seems Presider Pridgeon won't need to worry about Presider Straviaa if she doesn't have that tech. But you know what… since she did help Presider Pridgeon in a way, I guess it's alright to at least make her aware of Phallic Techs."

"Phallic techs…" Flantter was amazed at the domineering name of such techs.

"Phallic techs?" Lennox frowned.

"Just play along with it." Lowengren chuckled.

"Alright. You asked for it."

"Wha-What?" Lowengren was confused at that comment.

At that exact moment, Alean and Salathiel received unusual orders.

"Let's fight! You fake Empress! I'll give you a taste of these Lightning Rods!" Salathiel shouted.

"Interesting! Do you want to start a Phallic War with me? Let's see which Phallic Tech is superior! The WGP or the Lost Primordials Phallic Techs! In the name of Emperor Sebastian, the Phallic King! I will defeat you!" Alean shouted, and the green energy around him went wild.

The sand nearby began to crumble, and some even began to burn.

"They- They are fighting? Why?" One of the soldiers next to Owens was shocked.

"What's going on? What exactly is happening?" Maver was even more confused. He thought this was the Lost Primordial, but they suddenly began to fight.

"Commander… What do we do?" A soldier asked.

"Let them fight..." Owens ordered.

Lowengren, however, was not pleased with the little joke that Lennox played on him.

"Very funny. Very very funny."

"Why are you complaining? That's a very good title. Sebastian Hoross, A.k.a Lowengren. He who treads the Phallic Road."

Meanwhile, next to him, Pioneer Flantter had sent the report of what he just heard to Straviaa.

"Phallic wars! So this is the next level technology! Amazing. So there is something special about that shape Phallic Techs! Can Presider Pridgeon bestow one to me?" Flantter asked Lowengren.

"Don't disappoint me, and I can ask him. But he can only bestow the lowest Phallic tech to you. There are four tiers. I have the second-highest tier. Tier B Phallic Tech."

"It's alright! I'm ok with the last tier! I want the D! I want the D!"
