Path of Totality; A TDS Eclipse Event Story

🌘Chapter 18🌒

      "Damn it," Fallen King simply said as he was trapped. Void Reaver took this as a chance to get up and away. His poor stomach was bruised to all hell and so he went to go see if the tower doctors could help. He trusted they would watch the new titan carefully.

      Sure enough, Gravescout tried to make a run for it, but Fallen King dragged him back by the back of his neck. It wouldn't hurt him, but it stopped him from getting away.

      Gravescout began screaming again, all that work just down the drain. The others groaned in anger and annoyance.

      "This is annoying! We should just let him run out there and let the towers deal with him!" Nuclear King yanked his hood down to his ears to block out the noise. Swordmaster perked up at the suggestion. "Brilliant! They manage to subdue you all the time, let the brat get a taste of that and let's see him come running back!" Swordmaster planned as he opened the hanger door.

      "Shouldn't we let Commander know?" Frost Spirit worried. Swordmaster thought about, but shrugged, "We never give warning before. Now, let the beast go." Fallen King happily did so and let Gravescout scramble away and into the tower camp.

      It was silent among them for a moment. Then, Frost Spirit spoke up, "Do you think Void Reaver will be mad we did this?" Swordmaster kept on looking towards the camp, "Absolutely."

      Sirens sounded off in the camp and towers scrambled around to get in position. Towers scrambled to get supplies on trucks and away from the path of destruction that is about to occur.

      Freezer yelped as he jumped out the way in time to avoid being stomped to death. Gravescout checked his foot to see if he did get anyone, but it was just covered in dirt. He screamed in anger at it.

      The titan had quickly learned how to become bigger, making it easier to destroy and to be shot at. However, Commander gave the order not to shoot at him. The other towers found it stupid, but who were they to go against their leader's judgement?

      "The other titans will come get him!" Commander assured them, believing it true. He was left unknown about the betrayal as he ordered towers to move out and move supplies around.

      A shrill scream had him turning to the attacking titan. He gasped in horror as Gravescout was picking up Bunny Medic, who was trying to get Freezer to stop shaking in place and move out of there.

      Gravescout opened his maw, Bunny Medic screaming louder. "Attack!" Commander screamed, his voice booming out to the nearby towers. Everyone was already ready for the command, so shots were instantly being pelted on the titan.

      Electroshocker shot at Gravescout's hand, making him drop Bunny Medic. The medic screamed as she began to plummet from the height, but was caught just in time from Warden, who was in his whole SWAT gear. Right now, his objective was to get the doctor to safety. He ran out of there, getting her to a safer position.

      Gravescout screamed out as they kept shooting at him. He tried to move forward, but one well timed hit from Sledger hitting his ankle and freezing it had him toppling over like a toddler who lost their balance.

      Towers moved out the way as the titan landed with a thud. Gravescout tried to get back up again, but towers surrounding him made him whimper and flop back down.

      "Is it bad I was hoping for more of a fight?" Electroshocker added in as he kept aiming his tazer at Gravescout. "We could still keep it up, the damn brat may not like it," Militant gruffly said. The towers kept their distance, waiting for Commander's orders.
