Dark Force Destructor-chapter 23
By Dac
Chapter 23
After a brutal fight against Agent Matrix’s monsters, Ice and his handpicked team escaped the lab and left to find their missing friend Seth Rex. But the road is not easy, as they just found out! They walked straight into the clutches of the menacing Captain Dac! His guns cocked and ready to squeeze the triggers, he is showing no signs of letting them pass, which is going to make it difficult to get by him! And just what other sinister plans does the mastermind have up his sleeve? Where is his accomplice? Where is Seth? And where is the Dark Force Destructor?
24 November 2001
Madblast Tower
11.50.22 a.m.
“Bet you thought you were clever,” smirked the captain. “But while you were down playing with Matrix and his monsters, we took the time to set our little trap up. We’ve been waiting for you! SHARKEY! THEY’RE HERE! BRING HIM OUT!”
A small door opened at the side, revealing another downward staircase. The major stepped out, dragging someone behind him. He had one hand aimed at the head of the person in his other. Ice stiffened as he recognized the badly beaten prisoner.
“Seth!”
Seth looked at him.
“I’m sorry, Ice. They got me while I was unsuspecting.”
“It’s not your fault.”
“It is! I should’ve been watching my back!”
Dac and Sharkey sniggered. Everyone except Seth glared daggers at them.
“You evil…vile…disgusting…” growled RaptorHiss through clenched teeth.
Sharkey grinned.
“Anyone twitches and your friend gets it!” he raised his gun to Seth’s head.
RaptorHiss snapped and shot towards him. Sharkey raised his gun.
BANG!
RaptorHiss dropped to the ground, a hole in his head. He was dead.
“Pop goes the weasel,” cackled Dac.
“You sons of bitches!” roared Ice.
“Watch your tongue, Torbie,” cautioned Sharkey with a sneer. “Any more words and this one cops it too.”
Ice stiffened again. He couldn’t do anything without endangering his friend’s life, and he knew it. But everyone was watching Ice, and no one noticed what Seth was doing. Then Ice looked at him, and opened his mouth to say sorry, but instead his eyes widened and he yelled in horror.
“SETH, NO!”
Everyone wheeled. Seth was holding a grenade and the pin was missing. Sharkey dropped his gun in shock and stood paralyzed with sudden fear.
“Don’t worry, Ice. Like you always said, death is no regret. Goodbye.”
The explosion rocked the room. The shock wave blew Dac into the wall, and all the humans flew back through the door. Only Ice remained standing, the look on his face terrifying the others. Dac climbed to his feet in rage.
“Oh, perfect! Thank you very much!” he roared. Spinoboy11 stared at him.
“WHAT THE HELL DID WE DO?!! YOU GUYS KIDNAPPED HIM!”
“YOU KILLED THE ONLY FRIEND I HAD! YOU’LL PAY FOR THAT, TORBIE!”
Ice was seething with rage.
“My…name…is…ICEBREAKER!”
Suddenly a second explosion sounded, but no shock wave came. A yellow ray engulfed Ice, and he seemed to radiate with power. The sheer energy caused the tower to shake and rumble.

Yvonne looked to the roof in confusion. The tower was groaning under a terrible force high above. She did not have the sixth sense to feel energy levels, but she knew all too well who the power belonged to. The roof started to split slightly as she uttered a single word.
“Ice…”
***
“FIRST DAN, THEN CYROS, THEN RAPTORMARK, THEN RAPTORHISS AND NOW SETH! YOU AND YOUR DESTRUCTOR WILL PAY FOR THIS, DAC!”
The floor started to crack. Dac gaped with astonishment as Ice’s power caused the rubble at his feet to rise and splinter in the air. But what was most astounding was the fact that his hair seemed to spike and glow white…and his eyes turned red…then they went normal…then red eyes and brilliantly white hair…then normal…then…then…
Dac backed into to the wall.
“OH MY GOD!”
All the humans looked at him.
“HE’S TRANSFORMED! HE…HE…HE’S BECOMING AN ULTRA MARJINNER!”
“What?”
“The…the prophecy goes that a Marjinner must have an inner rage too terrible to control…then he…powers up and grabs a whole new power…and he becomes the Ultra Marjinner, a fighter so powerful he can obliterate an army of humans with a flick of his wrist!”
Ice looked up.
“So that’s it? You are about to be undone by your own actions?”
“Not me, pal. I have someone on the inside that can fix you no effort!”
Dac turned and ran.
“NOT THIS TIME!”
Suddenly Ice appeared in front of Dac.
“What the…”
“Cop this!”
He delivered an uppercut into the captain and sent him sprawling into the wall. He ran over and picked him up and threw him into a section of the wall. The wall blew away, revealing an odd little hidey-hole, very dark, and seemingly empty. Then they heard the voice.
“You fool, Torbie. You didn’t know there was a lift tube here, did you? Well it just so happens that it goes to the Destructor! Let’s see what you make of him!”
Dac increased his energy and flew up out of reach.
“GOD DAMN IT!” yelled Ice. “I HAD HIM AND HE GOT AWAY AGAIN!”
“Relax, Ice,” grinned Spinoboy11. “He said it’s a lift tube. Let’s go and meet him up there!”
Ice grinned.
“OK, let’s go!”
He blasted at the rubble, revealing a platform that could levitate.
“Hop on, guys, this party is over.”
They all stood on the platform and waited.

Dac reached the Dark Lord’s room, out of breath. He heard the sound of a blast far below, and gulped while running into the room.
“Captain? What is the meaning of this?”
“I’m sorry, sir, but I have important news!”
“Well?”
“First of all, we lost the battle. They outnumbered us. I’m not sure but I think I’m the only survivor. Dino-Snore, Dark Hunter, mxpx8690, Agent Matrix, his monsters and Sharkey are all dead.”
“And you let them die?”
“No, sir, it was…”
“I don’t want to hear anymore on that subject. Tell me what else is nagging at your brain, I can sense something.”
“Yes, sir…well, it’s Torbie…”
“Torbie?”
“Yes, he…er…became…transformed into…an Ultra Marjinner…”
A silence followed this. Finally, the Destructor spoke up.
“What kind of fool do you take me for?”
“Sir?”
“I have told you time and time again: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AN ULTRA MARJINNER!”
“But sir!”
“NO BUTS, IDIOT! YOU HAVE LET YOUR COMRADES DIE, AND YOU ARE PLAGUED BY A MYTH! FOR THE LAST TIME, IT IS A LEGEND! AND I THINK YOU NEED THE LESSON RE-TAUGHT!”
That familiar finger appeared once again, but this time, something interrupted Dac’s mythology lesson. The wall and door to the lift tube blew forward, and Dac was buried under the rubble. The Destructor stopped, stunned by this. Then a voice broke through the room.
“Ah, so, you must be the Dark Force Destructor I’ve heard so much about.”
The chair spun, and the darkness masked the face under the cloak.
“And you are our renegade Torbie.”
“Renegade? I prefer to call it refugee.”
“Refugee? Er, that is absurd.”
“And so are you. We heard your little conversation as we were coming up. You don’t believe the myth? Well then, let me prove it for you.”
From the gloom came a burst of light, and Ice was lighted up, his face had a smirk on it.
“Well, now, my friend, you’ve seen me. Can you show me the same courtesy?”
“Gladly, if you really want it. Prepare to meet a face from the past, Icebreaker!”
The Destructor stood up and lowered his hood. Ice and his friends gaped at the face that grinned back at them. A face they had believed imprisoned. A face they had trusted, made jokes with, and had fun with since they were children.
“DILO-DUDE!”
