Magantae had reached and found the metallic cubes hidden. Because there were no soldiers, the group was able to find the metal cubes easily.


    "Should we activate it here?"


    "No. We should activate it outside! We have to use it in an area where we are sure there are dildos!"


    "But we don''t know where General Vender hid those!"


    "It could be anywhere outside! It should have been spread out. General Vender designed it to blow up the base. So it should be everywhere! We just need to activate it outside!"


    "But Admiral! It''s too chaotic outside! Dune World has been activated again! We will get detected, and with the many protocols activated, I fear that this weapon''s attack won''t even reach the enemy!"


    "We also have that strange Exoskeleton fighting the base! Why is General Joab Barak attacking this ce? I thought that…"


    "We don''t know. Our priority lies the same. That Commander who is fighting Sthiel needs to die! We cannot prove the treachery within the WGP! We don''t need to worry about whoever is attacking this base. We just need to save General Vender, Sthiel, and prove the identity of our enemies!"


    The group nodded.


    "Alright. Move out. Communication from here is weak. We need to move closer to Sthiel as the sandstorm is distorting our feeds."


    Several tremors were felt as they could sense immense radiation above.


    "Let''s go!" Magantae immediately charged off and began to shoot down the walls of the building to reach the outside.


    The powerful sandstorm had struck with all its might, and the WGP raced towards the sky.


    But even with this, Owens had no time to care or even look at the detected group. His eyes stayed focused on General Joab Barak.


    ntter was having a hard time. The tactics that Owens used were effective as they limited his range and attacking capabilities. As the battle continued, Owens was learning more and more about ntter''s limitations.


    "Send a squadron on this location. Order them to immediately rush to this point and deliver heavy covering fire if ever the General moves close. And tell them to wait for my signal to retreat!" Owens ordered.


    The Exoskeletons followed, and it looked as if there was something suspicious on that location. ntter noticed it and immediatelyunched heavy attacks using a strange light.


    The metal roof of the location suddenly changed as if it became soft and copsed.


    But that attack struck nothing.


    ntter was furious as he saw how he wasted a vast amount of energy and attacked nothing.


    "That proves it! He isn''t aware of where the HQ is! Follow mymands!" Owens sneered and made a peculiar arrangement.


    Lowengren watched and was impressed.


    "What an impressive man. Cold-Reading and Warm-reading being employed in battle. With a little push, I could make this man a deceiver…" Lowengren smiled.


    "For now… where are those WGP?" Lowengren began to observe the movement of the WGP and made reports to inform the group. Lowengren has already merged with the soldiers through his lies, and everyone in the room acted as if he was part of the core team.


    "There it is… Lennox, inform Alean and Sthiel of their location."


    "Already done."


    Sthiel and Alean''s battle wasrgely orchestrated by Lennox, who provided the calctions of each attack.


    The attack was fast, and Sthiel moved as much as he could, but Alean could easily evade it with her faster perspective.


    "It''s been a while since I had fun wearing this. Thest time I wore an Exoskeleton was in the Undersea battle between Pangea and the SPU…" Sheughed.


    "Head to this quadrant. Sthiel, ready yourmunication line. I will create an interference that will allow you tomunicate with them."


    Lennox overcharged the electrical currents that powered the sandstorm, and it created a slight weakening.


    But since it only happened on the area where Alean was, Owens did not notice and continue to ryplicated instructions to his soldiers to deal with ntter.


    "Com… S… Do you copy?" The static line suddenly connected, and Sthiel was able to hear Magantae.


    "Admiral?!" He voiced a surprised sound as Lennox instructed.


    "We have the cubes! But we cannot activate it!"


    "Give them to me! It needs an ignition! I''ll use the cubes to activate the many lightning rods in this base! But we need to deal with the sandstorm!" Sthiel exined.


    "We don''t know where the base is! Dive inside the sandstorm and move closer to our location! Use the Nuke Emitter and set it to explode at thirty-five percent! General Vender left two cubes!" Magantae ordered.


    "Alright! I only have limited energy remaining. I will need to rely on the lightning to attack as an explosion of that level will drain the Nuke Emitter!'' Sthiel answered.


    "Do it!"


    And so, Sthiel suddenly dove down and headed towards the sandstorm.


    The sudden movement of the two drew the soldiers'' attention in the headquarters and reported this to Owens.


    "Sir! The WGP and the Lost Primordial are diving in the sandstorm!"


    "It must be trying to use our sandstorm to shroud the battle! Observe their movements! Since they are moving there-"


    BOOM!


    A powerful explosion suddenly urred. The Nuke Emitter created an explosion that was far stronger than it was.


    It was aimed at the center of the sandstorm. Most of the st didn''t spread out as the sand buffered the explosion, but it created a space that had no sands as the shockwave had not only thrown off the sand but weakened the intensity of the sandstorm itself.


    Sthiel moved towards the open area, and Magantae charged and threw the two metallic cubes towards Sthiel, who hastily move to catch it.


    Alean also emerged and used the voice changing system in her suit.


    "Ha Ha Ha! You missed!" Aleanughed as she charged forward.


    "But this won''t!" Sthiel answered. He then held out the cube, and Lennox sent a small charge into the cube and activated it.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    Several shes of lightning bolts sted out while arge bolt struck Alean''s suit.


    "NOOOOOOO!" Alean shouted painfully.


    The lightning bolts in the hands of Sthiel continued to rampage and struck the many nearby buildings.


    BOOM! BOOM!


    Several mechanisms and turrets on the building exploded out like bolts of lightning emerged from inside it.


    The sudden chain reaction began to damage the various devices that were causing the sandstorm.


    "Sir! The attack! It''s damaging and draining our power source! The sandstorm is weakening!" One of the soldiers reported.


    Owens was and nced at the many reports, and his eyes grew dim.


    Lennox, who had already controlled and manipted the base''s entire power supply, used the metallic cube to link the lightning energy of the cube to the base. And as one bolt kept on hitting Alean, it allowed Alean to power up the prepared weapon.


    The lightning that was hitting Alean did not hurt her as it was all being channeled to power up arge ball. The energy contained in therge ball continued to rise.


    "shes of Lightning… Peals of Thunder. The stronger the lightning is, the louder the thunder!" Alean heard Lennox''s cold voice from within the suit.


    And with that, Alean threw the ball. On the perspective of the WGP, it looked like Alean threw the ball in desperation.


    "Die!"


    The ball was thrown with barely any power, and it didn''t fly towards where Sthiel was but fell from where Alean was. And this was where the sandstorm was gathering.


    Therge ball fell for a few seconds before detonating.


    "REPENT!" The voice or Richie thundered, and a powerful shockwave blew up.


    BOOM!


    With Lennox already doing what he can to weaken the devices that power of the sandstorms, the sudden shockwave sted all the sand away.


    The sandstorm had immediately vanished.


    Magantae and her team were struck by the shockwave and were thrown off.


    The many soldiers, Exoskeletons, and Armors in the base also suffered from this st.


    ntter himself was sent flying.


    The shockwave had no heat but only pure raw power that would blow everything away.


    As such, most who were in their Exoskeletons or Armor survived the st, and only a few were killed from the sudden whish.


    Then there was silence.


    The explosions caused all fighting to stop, and the sandstorm itself disappeared.


    Only Alean''s suit remained flying.


    "You fools! Don''t mess with the Lost Primordial!" She shouted angrily.


    But then, Sthiel''s figure emerged from the rubble below.


    "I win this phallic war!" Sthiel answered and spoke as if he had difficulty breathing.


    He raised the metallic cube in the air, and it began.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    The lightning bolts charged wildly everywhere. Instead of directly attacking Alean, it rampaged to the nearby surroundings.


    "The dildos have been ced! Thisnd is mine to conquer! Lost Primordial, get LOST!" Sthiel shouted.


    The entire base trembled. Explosions were happening everywhere.


    The manyputers that were being used suddenly erupted deep inside headquarters one after another as powerful lightning bolts kept striking the area.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    Theputers and other devices began to explode on their own.


    "What''s happening?!" Owens cursed.


    "DILDOS! THERE ARE DILDOS EVERYWHERE!" Lowengren shouted amidst the chaos.


    "Sir! Dildos! There are dildos nted all over the base!" Lowengren continued to report until another explosion urred and cut off the line.


    The lightning bolts suddenly exploded out and began to attack the nearby areas.


    The soldiers who were guarding the nteds were attacked with several bolts.


    "Escape now!" Maver shouted as he tackled the remaining soldiers. The scuffle continued as many tried to remove the constraints. Some lost power and simply fell on the floor.


    The lightning exploded out and somehow divided the area. Maver and the nteds were on the other side while Owens and his soldiers were on the other side.


    "Commander! We have to retreat! HQ ispromised!" A soldier shouted.


    Owens nced at the remaining monitors that were functioning and could not help but sigh.


    "Commander Owens!" Lowengren suddenly appeared. But this time, he was not wearing a Caliphate uniform but different synthetic clothing. He was also wearing the familiar mask he wore when he was first captured.


    "You! That voice! You''re alive!" Owens was stunned.


    "I have no time to exin! One of my allies in the ship that captured us managed to escape during the battle! We are now controlling the vessel that brought us here! Commander! We must retreat! Head towards the southern area and wait at the beach! We have to flee!" Lowengren urged.


    Owens''s lifeless eyes were resurrected.


    "Move! Men! To serve the Caliphs, death is not the answer!" Owens shouted as he led his team down.


    BOOM! BOOM!


    The room began to cave in as the lightning attacks were rampaging.


    Lowengren and Owens were separated as various explosions threw the two apart.


    "Commander, go on ahead! Your life is more precious than mine! Besides! I have some unfinished business with Maver and those other nteds!" Lowengren rushed off towards the other direction.


    Owens tried to stop Lowengren, but the other soldiers began to pull Owens back as HQ''s explosions grew stronger and stronger.


    The entire base began to copse as explosions urred from within. The integrity of the structures gave way, and the outer damages that previously did not threaten its stability became the factors that caused many of the buildings to fall.


    "DIE!" Sthiel shouted as he raised the cube, and a lightning bolt shot towards Alean.


    Alean was struck and flew with incredible speed and disappeared in the darkness of the night.


    The many lightning energies soon died.


    ntter was stunned at what he saw.


    "Ugh. It looks like that idiotic WGP thinks he killed that Lost Primordial. ntter managed your base. I''m looking for that suit that disappeared. Don''t worry. The WGP no longer has any power to fight." Lowengren''szy voice transmitted new orders.


    ntter was looking at the entire base in shock.


    "This… is Presider Pridgeon''s power?!"


    Fifth Fortress has been utterly decimated.
