FINAL WAR: ENTOMONS
Chapter 14: General Henry vs Stag King

Chapter 14: General Henry vs Stag King

Island 2 Cluster, Asteroid Field.

"Everyone! Get ready for battle." Henry shouted. The 1 hour break time was gone just like that. It felt like it was only a minute.

The combat soldiers stood up and flew out of their temporary camps. They started taking positions in the asteroid field.

"The enemy will be here in 10 minutes. Brigadier General Evelyn! You lead the combat soldiers and set up a defensive perimeter.

Air Commodore Samuel! You will support Evelyn with your battleships.

Major General Li Wei! You will join me in battle." Henry gave out multiple orders.

"Yes, Sir!" Everyone shouted. Major General Li Wei was one of the decorated combat Generals. His combat power was next to Henry. Li Wei suit was called "Taurus", a 4th gen Atom suit. It was a towering 43 meters tall red giant. His main weapon was a double-sided ax. It was one of the most destructive weapons in the military. The weapon was both thick and heavy, it can both cut and smash through enemies with sheer force. The suit's main strength was raw power, but in return, it sacrifices its agility.

Steam puffed out from his nose as he got ready for combat. The Elite soldiers got ready for the battle as well.

Henry then communicates to his command post.

"Send in the Battlestar I! And get the UVA bombs ready." Henry gave out orders.

"It's ready, Sir!" An officer replied from the Warship Battlestar I. Warship as it's in the name, they are purely made for large scale wars. Humans have only 9 Warships, which tells you how expensive and difficult to produce the Warships.

"Buzzz… ."

"Buzzz… ."

"Buzzz… ."

You can hear the buzzing sound coming from every direction. It was drawing closer and closer. The soldiers were getting nervous. They had never faced such a large number of enemies, not to mention the enemies were more powerful than them.

"Good lord!"

The soldiers exclaimed. They saw seas of Entomons coming from every direction. Never in their dreams would they imagine something this outrageous.

There were a lot of Entomons which they had never seen before. As they were slowly closing in. Right when the swarms of Entomons approach 100 miles.

"FIRE!" Henry shouted.

The Warship then fired rounds of UVA bombs(Ultra-Violet Antimmater bombs). It travels at the speed of 27,000 miles/sec into the void and pierces through the sea of Entomons. Everything went quiet for a moment

The new swarm of Entomons was led by a large Stag King. When he saw something ominous coming towards them at an incredible speed without any noise. He suddenly felt restless, his instinct told him that it was something extremely dangerous.

"SCREECH… ."

He makes a loud screech, telling his army to get away from the light, but everything was too late.

"BOOOOM… ."

There was a flash of blinding light.

The clueless Entomons were dazed as they looked at the blinding light passing through them. Everything into dust. The blast ripped across the space killing billions of Entomons. All of the Entomons within the radius of the fireball which is 18,500 Mile were turned into dust. The radiation spreads and burns through the smaller and weaker Entomons into crisp, and the air blast blows away all of the Entomons. That's more than 5,000 times stronger than Tsar Bomba 100 Megatons, and that's 1-year energy output of the sun. One of these missiles could destroy the Earth. Henry sent 10 more missiles into the swarm ripping 10 large holes into the sea of Entomons.

It was a success. More than half of the Entomons were wiped out.

Everyone cheered when they saw the Entomons miserable conditions. The sad thing is that they don't have any more UVA bombs to kill the Entomons. Each Warship was given a specific amount of UVA bombs. 

Higher grades of Warship were given more, like General Rick’s Battle Star II is given 15 UVA bombs while the rest is stocked on Earth. Humans stop manufacturing mass destructive weapons because they thought it was not needed anymore, but now it seems their decisions  were wrong.

The old and less powerful Uranium Antihydrogen bombs(Antimatter Hydrogen bomb) are stored in a secured location because of its harmful nature to the environment. Most of them are already dismantled and use it as fuel. Uranium is a very rare and limited resource and is only formed in planetoids with specific conditions, so they have run out of Uranium a long time ago when they were still a budding civilization, or they just make it illegal to farm. 

And they have found many new minerals which are far better than Uranium as a replacement.

The Stag King was blasted away by the radiation and flung him a few miles away. But nothing happened to him –– he shook off the dizziness and found a way to balance his flight. Not only him but most of the Noble Entomons survived the blast. As long as they are not within the range of the fireball, they could survive almost anything.

"SCREECH… ."

He watched many of his subordinates screeching in pain. Half of his swarm had already turned into dust. He was seething with rage.

"SCREECH… ."

He let out a long screech and charged straight into the sea of humans. The swarms followed behind him in a frenzied manner.

"Everyone! Release everything you got." Henry shouted.

Everyone started firing their weapons at the incoming Entomons. The bullets and lasers tore through the layers of Entomons, bringing them down like flies. But the Entomons kept charging towards the humans. Now, they were just a few miles away from the human camp.

"Brace for impact!!!" Shouted Henry. Led by the Stag King and his subordinates, they rammed straight through the human defense and started slaughtering the humans. The Entomons were going on a rampage, destroying everything within their vicinity like a mad bull.

The new Entomons were much stronger than the one they had fought, and the Noble Entomons were much larger and stronger than the previous one. This time the number of the Noble Entomons was around tens of thousands, and most of them were 50 meters tall, and the Stag King stood 54 meters tall.

The Stag King and his elite warriors were charging through the human line of defense and destroying everything in front of them.

"Bzz… Bzz…"

They charged through the bullets with extreme speed and tore the Atom suits like paper toys.

"BAM… ."

The Noble Entomons smashed and crushed everything in their paths. They were unstoppable and almost invincible.

"All Grade 3 and above Atom suits. Stop the Noble Entomons." Henry shouted, and led his Elite group of soldiers and flew towards the crowds of Noble Entomons and started slaughtering them.

"Bam…"

The elite soldiers on both sides started fighting against each other. Winter Wolf and Taurus join in the battle and start killing the Noble Entomons.

The Stag King finally notices Henry and his team killing his warriors. He became furious and charged straight towards Henry followed by his two Protector Entomons. These Protector Entomons were middle-class Noble Entomons. They stood 53 meters tall and had a more thick and rough surface on their bodies. 

The Stag King was destroying everything in its path as charge straight for Henry with his Scissor horn.

Henry had already prepared for this. He smashes his nearby Entomons into a pulp and flies off to a distance.

"Li Wei! Hold off those two bugs – I will treat you to a bottle of wine if we survived this."

Henry said and took off to a nearby asteroid. He landed on the surface, and waited for the Stag King ready to duke it out. His strategy was simple, get the Stag King away from the battlefield and fight him in a deserted area.

"I will take your word for it." Li Wei replied and looked at the two gigantic Entomons approaching.

Li Wei stopped right in front of them and blocked their paths. The two Entomons became furious and tried to grab Li Wei with their scissor horns, trying to crush him, but Li Wei dodged it and swung down his ax on one of them.

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

"Bam…"

A loud sound echoed throughout the battlefield as an intense battle of the titans began. The Protector Entomons was slammed so hard that it flew across space and slam against one of the asteroids. Li Wei stomps his foot and jumps across space at an incredible speed and lands right on the top of the buried Entomon with incredible force, burying  the Entomon deeper into the ground.

"SCREECH…"

The other one got angry because he was ignored. He screeched and flew straight for Li Wei.

The battlefield was getting intense. The number of Entomons was overwhelming, but the humans stubbornly refuse to give up their positions. The battleships took down large groups of Entomons with their highly advanced weapons. They deployed many miniaturized missiles which are stronger than Tsar Bomba 100 megatons – dealing tons of damage, and holding back the swarms of Entomons.

Rain bullets and lasers were fired across the battlefield shredding the Entomons into pieces. The Entomons were also fighting back, Spitter Entomons spit highly corrosive acids to the Atom suits melting them into liquids. Bio-suits could be seen bursting out of the Atom suit and retreating back from the front line. While retreating, they use their guns and lasers to fight back, trying to contribute as much as they can to win this war.

Leviathans also crashed down into the humans and sucked up a large number of humans into their mouth.

The Warship and the MotherShips release their high energy weapons dealing tons of damage to the Leviathans – but the Leviathans were too big to be taken down by a few bullets.

Watching all of these itches Henry's hearts.

"Activate the UV-Beam. Notify all of the Motherships to target those Leviathans." Henry ordered, and activated his blue energy shield. As soon as he activates his shield.

"BAM…"

He was a smash and slammed against a rough mountain.

He stood up and looked at Stag King who was ready for another attack. Without waiting for the attack, he slammed his foot and charged straight for the Stag King. The Stag King saw this and opened up his sharp scissor horn trying to catch Henry. Henry dodged the attack and went for his neck.

Without anyone realizing it, a sharp 7 meters high-frequency claw appeared from Henry's knuckle and went straight into the crack between the neck. Luckily for the Stag King, the claw went only 3 meters deep due to his thicker shells – which surprises Henry. 

‘Normally, I can slice through Noble Entomons easily, but this one has a thicker, and much harder shell than I thought.’ Henry thought.

But he still managed to slice through a few meters which were more than enough for him. At Least he knew he could kill this Stag King.

"ROOAAR... ."

The Stag King roars loudly as blue blood squirts out from his neck. He became frenzied and swung his scissor horn wildly. The rampage Stag King almost crushed Henry with his body,  but he dodge the wild attack climb on the top of the Stag King. 

“Drip, Drip, Drip…”

After a few seconds, the bleeding stopped and the tissue started repairing itself. Henry clings tightly onto Stag King and looks at the wound with amazement. But the wound didn't repair the shell.

'I guess, the shell takes longer time to heal.' He thought, and pierce straight through the gap between the shells.

"SCREECH..."

The Stag King screeched with pain as he madly rolled and crashed into a small mountain. When he crashed, Henry was fling into a mountain creating a deep impact. If there is one weakness in the Entomons, that is their flexibility.

The cloud of dust settles down slowly, both of their eyes locked onto each other. The Stag King was now cautious of Henry, he looked around and saw the two of his subordinates were tangled up with Li Wei, and they were not doing well either.

'This human is too strong. He is not only fast but also very cunning. I cannot win this fight alone.’ He growled in his stomach. 

‘Stag Queen will be here within an hour. I only have to drag this out for an hour. There is no reason for me to fight to death against this insect.’ He thought... He steadied himself and waited for Henry to initiate the attack.

Henry was surprised. He didn't know what was going on – but he cannot drag down this fight anymore. You never know when another swarm of Entomons will show up. He slammed his foot and went straight for the Stag King. Both of them started clashing again. This time, the Stag King was in a defensive position. So, Henry didn't get the opportunity for lethal blows.

"UV-Beam is ready. Group Captain!" One of the technicians reported.

"Lock the target on those Leviathans!" Group Captain Aaron said.

"Target Lock, Sir!"

"FIRE!!!"

Group Captain Aaron shouted.

"Zzzzoooooom… ."

"Zzzzoooooom… ."

"Zzzzoooooom… ."

There were multiple light flashes across the battlefields, space was almost distorted due to the extreme intensity  of the Violet beam. Everyone suddenly got distracted and looked up at the bright flash of lights. The energy was so intense that they felt like their souls were almost sucked into the light. 

Before they realized what was happening, they saw 2 Leviathans floating lifeless in space. When they looked closer, they found a large hole in their heads. Besides them, there were also 3 Leviathans wriggling in pain as their bodies were critically injured. The beams had burned a hole through their bodies and luckily missed their vital organs. But they can't heal or regenerate with that kind of wounds. It's just a matter of time before they bleed to death. The remaining Leviathans got scared and retreated far away from the battlefield. The violet beam was so powerful that it ripped through the Leviathans like it was an empty space.

"Group Captain! We have 75% Energy remaining," reported one of the pilots.

"Charge it again!" ordered Aaron.

"Group Captain! 11 Leviathans are heading towards our direction. I think they're targeting the Warship and the MotherShip." One of the cabin crew hurriedly reported.

"Dispatch every battleship and tell them to distract the Leviathans for 2 minutes. And tell them to aim for their weak and sensitive spots."

"Yes, Sir!" Replied the crew members.

The reserve battleships were dispatched and headed straight for the Leviathans.

On the battlefield, Li Wei was having a hard time on the battlefield. The Protector Entomons were tougher than he thought. His attacks weren't doing much damage, he can see many small cracks on their shells, but not a life-threatening one.

He was dodging and smashing their heads and crevices with his ax, but it only enraged them more.

"BAM…"

One of the Protector Entomons smashes him into a rocky mountain.

Li Wei grinned and stood up slowly from the crumble rocks. He shook away the dust and looked at the two Entomons charging at him. He gripped his ax tightly and shouted.

"COMMON YA BASTARD!!! Show me what ya got!"

He slammed his foot and took a big leap while putting up his energy shield– he swung his gigantic ax onto the head of one of the Entomon.

"BAM…"

He smashed one of their heads and in exchange, he got smashed by the other Entomon.

This time, his suit suffered heavy damage, but it slowly repaired itself. The repair consumes a lot of energy. The fight was in a stalemate for now, but he wasn't sure if he could win this battle.

"Group Captain! UV-Beam will be ready in 30 seconds." The technician reported.

"Lock the target on those incoming Leviathans, and inform Lieutenant General Henry that this is our last UV-Beam. Our energy cannot fall below 50%." Ordered Aaron.

"Yes, Sir!" The crew replied and hurriedly sent a message to Henry.

"Sir! 3 of the Leviathans seems to be coming for our Mothership." One of the crew members reported hurriedly.

"How long till it's fully charged?" Aaron asked. 

"21 seconds, Sir!" replied the crew member.

"How long till the leviathans reach us?" Aaron asked as he looked at the Leviathan heading towards them. Thousands of Prugnator-Droids and battleships were shooting and bombarding the Leviathans, but nothing seems to be able to stop them.

"15 seconds till they reach us, Sir!" replied the crew member.

"We don't have enough time! Put the Mothership in self-destruction mode within 15 seconds. Detach the Command post, and announce an emergency evacuation." Aaron ordered with a resolute face.

Union Commanders are known for their decisiveness in decision making.

Inside the Mothership, everyone was panicking. Those who were closest to the Command post rushed to the Command post while the other rushed towards the escape pod. Even though 15 seconds was a short period of time, it wasn't in this 26th century. They all had ultra-fast hover pods powered by magnets, and vacuum lifts powered by suction force or air pressure; with these technologies, they don’t have trouble reaching their destination in just a few seconds..

In the Command post, an Ai was scanning the whole ship for life signatures, and checking if anyone misses out on the warnings. Droids were sent out to evacuate the people if necessary. It was an efficient system. Everyone was out of the Mothership within 10 secs.

"All personnel! Retreat away from the Mothership Centurion 3SA-734. It will self-destruct in 13 seconds. Stay at least 50 miles away from the Mothership. I repeat! Retreat and stay 50 miles away from Centurion 3SA-734." Aaron sends out warnings to everyone.

Everyone flew far away from the Mothership Centurion 3SA-734.

The Command post detached itself from the Mothership and flew away from the battlefield. The Mothership went into auto-pilot and flew straight for incoming Leviathans.

"Impacts in 7sec ..6..5..4..3..2..1..0.."

Before the Leviathans could realize what was happening. The ship they were targeting came straight towards them.

"BOOOOOOOM… ."

The Leviathans and the Mothership collided, creating a terrifying explosion. The fully charged UV-Beam energy was also discharged on the impact creating an explosion that brightened up the whole battlefield. Even the Entomons pause for a second and awe at the explosion. It was truly a beautiful sight to see.

The Leviathans were battered and charred from the explosion. They did not show any signs of life anymore.

"ROAAAR… ."

The other Leviathans roared with anger. But before they could grieve, they saw 4 bright flashes of lights coming straight at them. They were startled, but before they could blink, a large hole burned through their bodies. It was another round of UV-Beam from the Warship and the Motherships. 7 dead, 3 heavily wounded, and one remain unscathed.

The human's cheered when they saw the death of the Leviathans. These Leviathans had caused too much damage to the humans in the battlefield.

With that, humans have finally depleted almost all of their energy. Only the Warship had a few more rounds of UV-Beam.

The Stag King was enraged when he saw the Leviathans being killed. He brought more than 70 billion subordinates – now they are down more than half. He can't accept this.

"ROARRRR… ."

He roared loudly, and charged straight towards Henry. He tried to snap Henry with his scissor horn, which was exactly what Henry waited for. He has been waiting for the Stag King to open up his defense. He dodged the attack and went straight for the previous spot where he had injured the Stag King. 

Chuk…

He bore a deep hole into his neck with his frequency claw. This time, it went all the way in. But It still wasn't enough to kill the Stag King. His vitality was too strong. He clings onto his neck and slashes a few more times, trying to rip his head off.

"SCREECH…"

The Stag King screeched loudly and swung his head wildly. He finally felt a sense of crisis, and an intense amount of pain. But he suddenly came back to his senses and looked towards the dark abyss. He suddenly grins. His back up has already arrived.

Henry also suddenly felt a huge sense of crisis. His instinct told him he should leave fast. If he didn't leave, he would be dead meat. He jumped off the Stag King and flew off from the Asteroid. The Stag King didn't chase him. He just bowed towards the dark abyss.

All of the Entomons suddenly stopped attacking and flew into the Dark Abyss.

Henry's soul shivered as he looked at the incoming enemies.
