| [Xa, Commander of the Extropian Army, had pulled back the extermination effort.
|
| The remaining Extropian war-boats moved homeward to Eos Umbra while the
|
| Ironclad warriors collapsed on the shores of Eos Lux, panting and vomiting from
|
| fatigue. |
| Xa stood upon the deck of one
|
| War-boat, ablaze in his forbidden anger, and shouted from his dark heart:]
|
| «You have not heard the end of me!
|
| I will see to your every death!
|
| And when we reassemble for war!
|
| You’ll lay dead!
|
| Then we will truly see where you end up when your life is gone!
|
| No more co-operation… you will lay dead!»
|
| — Xa, Extropian Council Overseer
|
| …And you cannot prepare…
|
| …For what walks your way…
|
| …A terror unbeknownst to man…
|
| …A towering machine of death…
|
| «The Visitors unto Earth shall bow before him:
|
| Colossus!
|
| Extropian kind will soon ascend…
|
| The primitive Humans will burn, and turn to dirt!
|
| The beast of steel. |
| Immortal man…
|
| They forge as one. |
| Colossus: Born!
|
| …The MechaGod is born
|
| His Son is manifest
|
| Colossus: Walk and bring unto them death!»
|
| — Xeno, Extropian Scientist
|
| «We have suffered no loss. |
| We retreat to forge the beast!
|
| One with power beyond your God’s, and you will know no further victory
|
| You have left us weak and injured, but fate cannot be denied
|
| Our destiny to ascend and conquer as Extropians will never die!
|
| Hold your breath, prepare for the worst, your days are numbered
|
| For when we meet again, it will be our last encounter!
|
| You may have won the battle
|
| But you will not win this war!
|
| This isn’t over!»
