Afghanistan
Shadow stood still amidst the rubbles, mask down and clueless.
"What have I done?"
"If only I didn't rush out of the jet like a fool."
"Shit please you guys shouldn't die on me."
He then ran across the crash site in search for them within the rubbles.
"Stacy bring the jet!"
He yelled as he ran, found Jade then carried her, and he also found Mark and carried him too, immediately he ran on a mountain and leaped up into the air.
The jet flew past as he got inside.
"Stacy, can you help?"
{"Yes sir, just place them in the pods."}
Jason then placed Jade and Mark into two pods down the room and Stacy began scanning, stopping their loss of blood.
Jason sat down thinking to himself as he was in serious distress.
{"The last titan, the flame titan has been spawned sir."}
"My God!"
Jason sat upright as a holographic screen came up before him displaying the large flame titan which was literally made of liquid fire and brimstone.
"Where's this?"
{"Indonesia sir."}
"How long before we get there?"
{"We are currently flying at top speed and it will take approximately 2 hours 19 minutes sir."}
"Shit it will be too late by then."
{"Do you want to run there sir?"}
"Yes obviously, that seems like the better option."
{"At your current speed Mach 4, it will take you approximately 1 hour 9 minutes."}
"All I need is thirty minutes."
Jason then opened the door of the jet as a massive inflow of wind came in.
{"Sir, that's logically impossible at your current rate."}
"We breaking limits here Stacy, I'm not giving up and I know what I gotta do."
Jason then jumped out of the jet as his mask formed on.
"Alright Jason, you gotta do this, correct your mistakes and set it all right… For Jade, for Mark, for Mary, and for humanity."
His dark aura began to flow out of him as he was dropping from the sky diving down to the ground.
As Jason got to the ground, he flipped on air, then rolled on then ground and immediately—
BURST! BOOOOMMMM!! WHOOOOSSSSHHHHH!!!!!
There was an explosion of dark aura from Jason and he moved at an insane speed, faster than ever before.
Running so fast that the ground and air gave way, his aura engulfing and flowing out of him massively he moved like darkness itself.
All through the way headed for Indonesia following the path and direction Stacy laid out of him.
As Jason ran the only thoughts in his head that played out was correcting his wrong and fixing his mistake.
He thought about Mark, Jade, and Mary and everyone that would be in danger if this titan succeeded.
"Raaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhh!!!!!!!"
BOOM! BOOOOOMMMM! BOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!
WHOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
Indonesia
"Arrrrgggggggghhhhhhhh!!!"
Shadow gave out as he arrived and in the course of slowing down he collided with multiple masses destroying them before he finally got to a stop.
{"Congratulations sir. Your current speed is 10 times faster than the speed of sound. In professional words, Mach 10."}
Bruised and injured, but healing slowly.
{"27 minutes sir."}
"I guess I still owe you three minutes."
Shadow saw the fire titan ahead already relatively close to the volcano.
"Let's end this once and for all."
Shadow drew out his swords and ran towards the titan, racing ahead of it close to the volcano.
Shadow then turned around sliding on the ground and immediately dashing towards the titan while his dark aura flowed.
"Raaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhh!!!"
With a ferocious voice Shadow gave out as his dark aura flowed into his swords and he released two large dark slashes at the titan.
BING! BANG!
The titan tilting and staggering back a bit, finally spotted Shadow.
"Oh shit."
It then released a wave of fireballs at Shadow.
Shadow running at a fast pace began dodging the fireballs, flames even began bursting out of the ground.
While Shadow did his best in manoeuvring through and across the masses and rubbles in his path.
Unexpectedly a wave of fire burnt, hit, and blasted Shadow away as he smashed and destroyed a building which collapsed and fell on him trapping him underneath.
"Nooooo!!"
"Arrrrgggggggghhhhhhhh!!!!"
Trying to make his way out Shadow tried, but most of his energy was going into healing his severe burn wounds.
"Stacy, can't I stop this healing factor for now?!"
{"If you do that now you will die sir."}
"Then fucking speed it up!!"
{"I'm not in control sir."}
"Fuck!!!"
Shadow watched the titan move to the Anak Krakatoa volcano. It then brought its core and dropped it into the volcano.
KRA! KRA! BOOOOMMMMMM!
There was a massive explosion of larva which shot up over 70 miles up into the air releasing a rain of liquid fire and ash.
{"Just like history repeating itself from the Krakatoa back in 1883."}
"Arrrrgggggggghhhhhhhh!!!"
Shadow gave out as he finally made his way out of the rubbles.
"Even though I failed, I must destroy you!"
Shadow gave out with rage gripping his blades tight and took a running stance.
BURST!!!!!
WHOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHH!!!!
His dark aura exploded out of him as he ran with a sonic speed towards the fire titan.
In the twinkle of an eye, Shadow raced around and on the titan from toe to head, in and out, around and in-between.
"Grrrraaaaaaaaaarrrggghhhh!!!"
BOOM! BOOOOMMMMM!! BOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!
There was a powerful and massive explosion of flames all the more destroying the environment and Shadow was caught up within it.
He got burnt, blasted, and blown away and he flew like a bird.
Crashing, bursting in and out, through and within buildings destroying them and him getting injured and bruised badly.
He finally stopped motion lying on his back and wheezing fighting to breathe, dripping with blood badly injured.
His injuries were healing but slowly as he sat up and saw the sky getting darker all the more, lightning striking, and thunder clapping.
"I've got to end this, I have no choice."
Shadow tried to stand up, but he fell on his knees coughing out blood.
"There's always a choice you dummy."
"Huh?"
With shock Shadow lifted up his head and saw Sentinel in the air, then Mark came and landed.
"How?"
"Well it was painful, like real pain, but her AI Stacy used nano bots to join our bones back, fix tissues and stitched us up as quickly as possible."
Mark narrated as he took off his mask.
"Ehnn wasn't so bad compared to what you must be going through Jason."
Jade landed after deactivating her helmet and walked up to the healing guy on his knees.
"Yeah. Thanks to my healing factor I'm surprisingly alive."
"Lovely. I'm so proud as a scientist."
{"Also your specimen's new top speed is Mach 10."}
"First of all Stacy, he isn't a specimen but my friend and secondly no freaking way!!!"
Jade jubilated as she attempted hugging Jason but held back.
"Mehn dad I wish you were here to see my accomplishments."
STRIKE! CRASH! BOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!!!!
Suddenly from the volcano lightning shot up into the sky and travelled away.
"Stacy, track that now!"
{"Tracking"}
"You good to go Jason?"
Jade offered her hand to help him up.
"Yeah definitely, always."
Jason rising to his feet as he and Jade locked eyes while holding hands.
"Lovely, cause it's time for The Strixx to put an end to this once and for all."
