closer to
get the most out of charging them. A grid was placed below the monsters
feet, above its head and to all four sides around it. Since it had
decimated Xen so well earlier Gold now had a name for it.
    Gold: "You won't survive this, Murder Cube!"
    The sheer volume and speed of the golden projectiles had
completely obscured Gold's view of what was happening, but he knew that the
monster was being ripped to shreds and burned inside of that cube of death.
There was no way out, Xen had learned that the hard way.
    BOOOOM!
    An even larger explosion had sent the energy orbs scattering
throughout the cosmos. This wasn't of Gold's doing, he knew. Before
he could think, something was upon him and grabbing him by his throat roughly,
crushing much of the life out of him. The beast's grip had no give to it.
Gold felt helpless as he tried to kick his way free to no avail.
His own physical strength was nothing in comparison to this mad beast.
Its fiery yellow skull bore down upon Gold like the sun, huge and hot,
and was nearly half the size of Gold's body. Its voice boomed in Gold's
mind.
    Creature: "Weak. Weak! Weak.
Weak!"
    The creature had two voices, one slow and ponderous the
other quick and erratic. Gold hadn't heard either voice before.
They then spoke in tandem.
    Creature: "To waste such power on you was a mistake.
You are not worthy."
    Gold: "What are you creature?"
    Creature: "Not weak. Rotkennk."
    Gold: "You are them, the Masked Ones? You
brothers are more terrifying than I had imagined."
    The giant Rotkennk creature flexed its claws down on Gold.
Even whilst being strangled Gold didn't let his newfound bravado die away.
    Gold: "But nothing I can't handle."
    Gold flared his aura up and summoned forth as much power as
he could. The creature's hold on his throat tightened however and it
grabbed his left arm.
    Gold: "More POWER!!!"
    His powerful aura had now surrounded both him and the
creature. Tiny wisps of smoke were rising from the creature's body and
became bigger and more numerous the longer the creature held him. The
monster didn't flinch however and it didn't hesitate either. With minimal
effort it ripped the arm from Gold's shoulder socket. Gold screamed out
in pain and though realistically not even he could hear anything thanks to the
vacuum of space that surrounded him, his voice rang out clear as day. The
Builders were the most biotic organisms on K’OS and so Gold bled briefly until
the nanites quickly stopped the blood loss and offered him some pain relief.
    The monster still held him tight by his other arm, the one
he was glad that he still had. It pulled him closer much faster than he
could react to and into one of its massive knees. Thanks to the pain,
Gold was losing much of his concentration and his aura began to fade.
Because of that he caught the full fury of the monster's knee thrust.
Before he could fully contemplate this new pain, the beast kicked him
upwards of his current direction. He was left to his own devices, but was
losing consciousness fast. If there were anywhere to fall or any gravity
to help the process he would've done so already, but all he could do now was
float. He waited for the end, but it was taking a lot longer than it
should have.
    Gold: "I...I (coughing)...I am a fool. My power
led to my doom, but I was the one that hastened it."
    He could still summon power, but now he was tired. The
experiments performed on him by the Overmind's had taken their toll, escaping
had taken its toll, running had taken its toll, and fighting with the Masked
Ones had taken its toll. If he were somehow able to survive this fight
what did he have left for him? He could see nothing, but more of this
pain and destruction in his future, more of this dogged pursuit of his very
power and he didn't want more of that. Maybe it was the timid Builder in
him that craved to be able to create and to not be the cause of destruction.
    Gold: "I honestly had fun with this...this power.
It is accursed that much
