JACOB: WildC.A.T.s’ mission

log, Entry 12: "The war-like

country of Yurgovia has resumed

hostilities against its peaceful

neighbour Lucitain."

And since HALO Enterprises’

European headquarters are in

Lucitain, I’ve got several

hundred employees in danger.

(Beeping)

The Lucitain troops are

moving in to defend the town,

Jacob.

But I admit I’m worried.

The Yurgovians may attack at any

moment.

Then, for heaven’s sakes,

close up shop, Sergi.

I’d rather lose money than

lives.

(Ground rumbling)

(Creaking)

Very well, I’ll commence the

evacuation.

Sergi, has the attack

started?

No, it’s an earthquake!

(Ground rumbling)

Sergi, come in!

What’s going on there?

(Blades swishing)

Hiyarr!

Argh!

Urgh!

Twice you have fallen for the

same ruse, Warblade.

You know what they say,

Zealot: the third time is a

charm.

Aargh!

Or is that three strikes and

you’re out?

All right, take me down.

I am unarmed.

Don’t mind if I do!

How typically human of you.

Aarh!

You will never be a great

warrior until you overcome your

human flaws.

That does it.

Aaah!

Bad move, buddy.

And anger is the worst of

your weaknesses, it distracts

you, when all you should seek is

my destruction.

Lady, you’re crazy.

To defeat the Daemonites, we

must show them no mercy.

Save your macho act for

Helspont.

I’ve had enough of it.

He must learn.

Like you said, he’s human--

well, mostly human, and we

aren’t put together as neatly as

you.

We care about things like

compassion and mercy.

A true warrior strives to

correct his flaws, not commend

them as virtues.

In the real world, it ain’t

that simple, Zealot.

Attention, WildC.A.T.s!

Everyone to communications,

and, people, I mean now!

Our regional headquarters in

Lucitain was wiped out, along

with the rest of the town.

But where do we come in?

Natural disasters aren’t our

style.

I do not believe that this

disaster was natural.

What do you mean, not

natural?

No one can cause an

earthquake, can they?

This area has been

seismically stable for over

6,000 years.

And they’ve only been hitting

countries at war with Yurgovia.

My conclusion is that the

Yurgovians have developed a new

super weapon, one which causes

earthquakes.

In the hands of the

Daemonites, a weapon like that

would be bad news for the entire

world.

And if they haven’t heard

about it yet, you can bet your

gold-plated annuities they will.

I’ve arranged for you to be

hired as mercenaries.

WildC.A.T.s, you’re going to

Yurgovia.

Sounds simple enough.

Sure, all we’ve got to do is

waltz into a warzone.

(Exploding)

I thought Void said

this border crossing was safe.

Even Void can’t know

everything.

Jump!

Okay, team, scatter them.

Drifter and Maul, watch our

flanks.

(Zapping)

(Exploding)

These Yurgovians sure know

how to make a tourist feel at

home.

(Gunfire)

(Exploding)

All right, let’s play,

soldier!

Brrgh!

Game over.

Whoever they are, they’re

mopping the floor with us.

Then let me handle them.

That’s what you hired me for.

(Blade swishing)

(Exploding)

Warmongering scum!

(Blade swishing)

Ha!

You will wish you were civilians

by the time I am through with

you.

Urrgh!

Take away their weapons, and

they’re nothing but cowards.

(Blade swishing)

Urgh!

Then perhaps you’d care to

see what a real warrior can do.

Argh!

Ugh!

Lady, you’re starting to get

on my circuits.

(Lasers zapping)

The Coda!

It’s not possible!

Yargh!

(Booming)

(Exploding)

I must stop her.

Uh, Zealot, we’re on a

mission here, remember?

She was using a clef blade,

Grifter, the weapon of the Coda.

I know; I saw.

Then you know what I must do.

Yeah, but it doesn’t mean I

have to like it.

They’re running away.

I think we did it.

That was just the welcoming

committee.

We’ll soon get a full reception.

Where’s Zealot?

My guess is she’s gone to

settle an old score.

Grifter, what are you saying?

That woman who attacked you,

she was a Coda.

A Coda?

Zealot should have known better.

We have a mission.

Listen, Spartan, I’ve got to

go after her.

She could be heading into some

serious trouble.

Our first priority is to find

that earthquake weapon.

Zealot can take care of herself.

The trail ends here, or does

it?

(Blades clanking)

May the light of the Coda crown

us with glory.

You can stop right there,

Artemis!

You dare show your face among

us, Sister Zealot?

You are now the Coda’s prisoner

of war!

The Yurgovians are looking

for us.

I could swat it down.

Then they’d really know where

we are.

Let’s move.

We’ve got to locate that

earthquake weapon.

Wait a sec.

Where’s Grifter?

Don’t tell me he went after

Zealot.

Great, now there’s just four

of us against the whole army.

I formed the Coda to fight

the Daemonites, Artemis.

How dare you turn them into

soldiers for hire!

Did you think we were your

puppets to do with as you

pleased?

By selling our skills, we grow

prosperous and powerful.

You have succumbed to the

worst human weakness of all:

greed.

Not greed; ambition, Sister

Zealot.

One day we will command those

who hire us.

The Coda will rule!

This world won’t have a

future if the Daemonites win.

Correction, Zealot.

It is you who has no future.

An incoming communication for

you, Sister Artemis.

It is urgent.

The plan worked perfectly, Pike.

In our guise as mercenaries,

we’ve been able to prolong the

war.

And the Yurgovians have

finally completed the

earthquake weapon.

Its location is 10 miles due

east of your current position.

Well, what do you know?

Excellent.

Then we shall prepare to

complete our mission.

Assemble the Coda.

We must prepare to move out and

take the weapon.

(Thumping)

Urgh!

Keep back, all of you!

Now, you’re going to take me

to Zealot, nice and easy and no

tricks.

The only way you’ll see your

friend is as my prisoner!

Seize him, sisters!

Perhaps you sisters would

like to talk to these!

(Gunfire)

(Blades clanking)

Nice shot, but you won’t get

away with this.

Lock him up with the traitor

Zealot!

We could use your computer to

find the weapons location.

Then let’s get wild.

Voodoo, flank left.

Warblade, hit the guards.

Maul, keep an eye out for

choppers.

Take them out, team!

(Zapping)

(Exploding)

Two men against one woman:

not fair.

(Yelling)

You should have brought more

men.

(Zapping)

(Crashing)

Boo.

Bummer, it broke.

Now let’s find out where that

weapon is.

Urgh!

(Crashing)

PIKE: The Coda is preparing

to move out and seize the

weapon, but there’s one problem.

What kind of problem?

According to their

intelligence, the WildC.A.T.s

are also in Yurgovia.

Those Kherubim pests!

I don’t trust those Coda women

to succeed, especially with the

WildC.A.T.s around.

I want you to handle this

personally, Pike.

I will not fail you, Lord

Helspont.

Okay, so this wasn’t one of

my better rescues, not like the

time we first met, huh?

You saved my life then.

I am still in your debt.

Look, we can’t just hang

around this dump.

(Chains clanking)

Your pal’s are working for the

Daemonites.

What?

This is all my fault.

Zealot, you can’t blame

yourself for everything.

I created the Coda, and I

should have stopped them long

ago, when I had the chance.

Whargh!

You have turned the Coda into

a band of mercenaries.

I will not allow it.

Warrgh!

Under my command, the Coda

will become the most powerful

weapon the world has ever seen.

Yargh!

Arrgh!

You can’t do it.

Your ridiculous code of honour

won’t let you.

Leave this temple, all of

you!

Whoargh!

(Crashing)

You will regret this day,

Zealot!

(Chains clinking)

I thought you said mercy was

a human weakness.

It is, and I’ll never make

that mistake again.

I know you aren’t going to

like this, Zealot, but deep

down, I think you’re just as

human as the rest of us.

Hurry.

I can’t access the main

command net.

See if you can bust in.

What does it say?

10 seconds until termination.

Then we’re in trouble!

Hit the dirt!

(Exploding)

Let me guess.

You didn’t find the weapons

location?

You win.

So now what?

We keep searching the area.

Hurry!

We must reach the weapons

centre before the WildC.A.T.s

do!

You ladies ain’t going

nowhere.

Now, Artemis, it is time for

our reckoning.

Aaargh!

Urgh!

Urg!

I’ve waited a long time for

this.

Farewell, Sister Zealot!

Yargh!

Aaargh!

Naargh!

Urgh!

(Blade clanking)

Hyargh!

(Blade clanking)

Yeearr!

Hurrh!

Arrg!

(Whirring)

Urgh!

The Daemonites are our sworn

enemies.

How dare you do their bidding!

(Whirring)

Wharrgh!

Arh!

Ugh!

Don’t even think about it,

ladies.

Huh!

Urgh!

You were my sister.

You betrayed me.

You betrayed our cause!

Very well, sister, finish it!

I can’t.

Listen to me, all of you.

I taught you how to fight,

but I failed to teach you why.

If the Daemonites win, you and

every human on this planet will

be slaves.

The wealth you seek will mean

nothing!

You have the power to make a

difference.

The choice is up to you.

You’d better go, while you

can.

You did all you could, but

it’s not going to happen.

Let’s beat it.

This is just great.

We’ve got to do all the work

while Zealot and Grifter are off

playing games with the Coda.

That’s enough, Warblade.

Griping won’t help us find that

weapon.

GRIFTER: Attention, shoppers:

today’s blue light special is--

Grifter, are you and Zealot

okay?

Better than okay, pal.

We found out where that

earthquake gismo is.

Oh, right!

I knew they wouldn’t let us

down.

We’re moving into position

now, Lord Helspont, but we’ve

lost contact with the Coda.

I must have that earthquake

device.

It will enable me to excavate

the Orb.

I’ll take it myself if I have

to.

Then do so!

Once the Orb’s power is mine,

Earth will only be a tiny

stepping stone to the entire

universe!

GRIFTER: No guards on the

west wall.

It looks like a piece of

cake.

What happened with the Coda?

Let us concentrate on the

task at hand.

That bad, huh?

Worse: the Coda’s after

whatever’s in there too.

Then let’s not waste any

time.

WildC.A.T.s, get ready to

attack.

They’re moving in.

Do we strike?

Not yet.

We’ll give them just enough rope

to hang themselves.

Ugh!

The weapon’s got to be in

there.

Come on, let’s move, now!

(Exploding)

A Daemonite hovership.

We’ve been set up!

(Exploding)

Take cover.

(Lasers zapping)

This will wash away some of

our troubles.

(Lasers zapping)

I’ve got news for you,

Voodoo.

Our trouble’s just begun!

(Exploding)

Rrggh!

(Exploding)

(Lasers zapping)

Come on, guys!

It’s time for some cover

strategy!

You’re right.

Think of one.

Only one thing matters: we’ve

got to stop the Daemonites from

getting that weapon!

(Lasers zapping)

Let’s get them, now!

(Yelling)

You’re surrounded,

WildC.A.T.s.

You’re finished.

We haven’t even started,

Pike.

Maul, get us in there.

Grrr!

Let’s rock and roll!

(Vibrating)

Hold on!

Hold on, to what?

(Ground rumbling)

Gotcha!

It’s only human to help a

friend.

I know, Warblade, I know.

Urgh!

Hit them again!

We’ll send them to the very

core of the earth!

(Lasers zapping)

What the blazes?

The Coda!

(Lasers zapping)

What?

They’re supposed to be on our

side!

Don’t tell me, you idiot;

tell them!

(Lasers zapping)

All right, Pike, it’s just

you and me-- correction-- you me

and my staff.

Urgh!

Nyah!

Hurgh!

Hargh!

Yargh!

Nyargh!

Have you come to your senses?

Perhaps I can’t resist a good

fight.

Urgh, urgh, urghh!

WILDCAT: That’s where you

belong, in the dirt!

I don’t have to take that

from the likes of you, Wildcat!

Go ahead, give me all you’ve

got!

With pleasure!

(Lasers zapping)

No!

Urrgh!

Beat it, you little pests!

You fool!

You destroyed the weapon.

All is lost.

We must flee.

Ha, those jerks blew up their

own weapon!

And won’t old Helspont be

thrilled when he finds out?

Warblade, find the computer

files and destroy them.

We don’t want them building

another one.

Consider it done.

You fought well.

You spared my life, and now

we’re even.

But this changes nothing

between us.

The Coda will fight for anyone

who will meet our price.

If the Daemonites are

victorious, wealth will mean

nothing.

The real war is with Helspont,

and until the Coda joins that

battle, I will consider them my

enemy!

I should destroy you for this

miserable failure.

Still the setback is only a

minor one.

The WildC.A.T.s are unaware of

the Orb’s presence on this

planet, and without that

knowledge, they are fighting in

the dark!

Destroying that weapon did

the impossible, Jacob: the

Yurgovians are asking their

neighbours for peace.

Ah, Sergi, there’s nothing

sweeter than a happy ending.

Funny, you don’t look happy,

Marlowe.

Why did the Daemonites want

that earthquake weapon?

They could have done a lot of

damage with it.

No, it’s not to be more than

that.

I know how Helspont thinks.

He’s after something, something

big, I can feel it in my bones,

and we’ve got to find out what

it is, before it’s too late.

You were right, Grifter.

Humans are not that simple.

Neither are you.

You showed mercy to Artemis.

And for a moment, it awakened

her sense of honour.

Yeah, but it didn’t last.

What if she sells the Coda out

to Helspont again?

If that day comes, there will

be a reckoning between us, a

reckoning that only one will

survive.
