I was at a large building. The logo of the company that had deployed the Disassembly bots was on the wall. The JC Jensen company, known for making futuristic technology and helping humanity to live a better life through Earth and other planets. The CEO of the company was in his office and was not in a good mood whatsoever.
"And you may tell me why you were rebuilt and came back here, Serial Designation J," he asked in a commanding tone as I stood in front of their leader with a nervous gulp. "You were assigned to go to the planet known as Copper 9 and were supposed to eliminate the remaining bots there before the infection could have expanded. So dare tell me how you ended up here."
I had to steady myself as I looked at the CEO. "W-Well..."
"I'm waiting, but you know I'm not an easy man. Time makes money and you're ruining it." He snapped. I gulped and then spoke.
"Well, we were doing that for about two months so far and eliminated the population of the remaining worker bots up to 89%. We were up to 90 but we had something occur that caused our mission to stop."
"And dare tell me what caused this?" He raised a brow at me.
"I-It was a worker bot. She was known to be a rebel and wasn't as gullible as the rest of her kind. She thought about our strategies and came up with her own. With also making one of our own to go rogue as well."
"Could it be Serial Designation N by any chance?" He asked as I nodded. "I was afraid of this. He was most of our system and didn't have the full means of understanding with the trust he lacked and had. And you're saying this worker bot had caused his system to be corrupted."
"Yes, after I found out, I was infecting him with the virus that was meant to be used of the Disassemble Drone become corrupted. It worked but then he survived it with the help of another one of our comrades."
"Was it V?" He asked as I shook my head emphatically, making him blink in surprise. "What other comrades would be there? I picked only three of you to go there."
I blinked as my visor eyes showed full confusion. "Sir, there were four of us that went to the planet Copper 9 and we were told that it was a four-man mission."
"Who the hell told you that?!" He demanded as I backed away. "Tell me. Now!"
"F-from one of the executives of the company. He told that we had four comrades. Me, N, V and F.S."
F.S. What Designation was he? He didn't have any data on that Disassembly Bot. He was- Wait! F.S as in short for...
"J. I have an assignment for you to do. Now!" He ordered her in serious toon.
J stood steady at her boss as he looked at me with pure fury. "Find out who was the worker that gave you the order and bring him to me. Either in good or bad condition I don't care. What I want is him alive no matter how you do it. Do I make myself clear?" He ordered. I nodded quickly.
"Good, so leave me as I have a call to make." He dismissed me.
I hurried and left as the man sat back at his desk. He went under the desk and pressed a button that was underneath the table. Soon the wall behind him split to reveal a big flat screen. The TV started to turn on and show glitches. Soon the screen lit up showing a dark silhouette of someone or something on it as the figure sat on a throne. The figure on the other end eyes showed which were orange as they looked at him. It was as if he was looking at his very soul.
"....What have you called me for? I am not to be disturbed by anymeans for now."
The CEO bowed his head. "My apologies, my lord. I have called you for a certain news. It's bad, as I would say." He spoke in sacred toon as his heart was beating a mile away. One wrong word and it's the end of him if not careful.
"Speak..." His tone was not pleasant as he promised pain in the end. The CEO sweated bullets as he was trying to ease his breathing.
"The thing is, my lord, that the problem we thought that had been eliminated years back... is actually not as we expected."
".... So, he's alive and I can say he was under your nose as you thought and slipped by without you even noticing, if I'm right. And I am."
"I'm truly sorry, my lord! I was in the meeting room when this took place. The one who would have snuck him in had gotten-"
"All I'm hearing are excuses. So why are you wasting my time and not doing it yourself and anything else."
The man dreaded as he could feel the seriousness in his master's voice. He nodded quickly as the screen went dark. Right then, he began to check on the desk as a holo screen lit up. He started to type on it, sending out signals
Outside the company a man was going through the truck as he tucked his hand over his face to hide his identity. He finally put the box in and closed the truck. He went towards the driver seat and closed the door. The man had a laptop on the other seat as he opened it and inserted a USB in it. The screen lit up as it started to show display of files and a program that formed around.
He took out a black phone and quickly dial a number. He waited for the caller to pick up."Yeah it's Me....... Hah yeah. It's done...... They didn't had a clear suspicious yet but now do..... Yeah I call you later I'm sending the data to you now.... Yeah, You to." The man hung up as he started the engine and drove off.
Present Time:
"Hah!" Flash dodged a swing and gave his own as he clashed with the sword bot. "Seriously, man! Can't you give me a break? I've just known myself for two or three days. Why are you after me as if I know you like now?"
"Quite the talker, as it's your coping mechanism, isn't it? Always hated that when-" He was cut off by a headbutt, making him stagger back as Flash jumped and spin-kicked him right in the neck with a heavy blow, chopping it off. "How's that for a coping mechanism... Yeah, it was bad, but still."
He flipped back as the body still moved on its own, swinging the swords. The head grew back as the Assassin kept on his assault. He deliberately kept on pushing Flash behind the corner as his attack patterns got more erratic; each attack was different than the last as Flash kept on evading the sword with his energy blades and his metal sword, making clanging sounds as they collided. He side-stepped and ducked from the side swings, using the ground for support and using his hands to push himself up to avoid the downswing. He delivered a swift blow to the assassin's chest, making him stagger back, but he didn't stop there; suddenly, the assassin's hand disconnected from his arm, revealing an energy rod holding it together. Flash went wide-eyed, exclaiming, "Seriously! You have long electric joints. Am I fighting in an anime or something?"
He jumped in the nick of time as the hand came towards him in a punch. The assassin smiled as he was waiting for this and moved his arm as the hand changed direction in mid-air and came at Flash, grabbing him by the leg. However, he didn't have time as he was pulled down hard, crashing onto the ground. He was then thrown around the area, getting hit with multiple objects. "Ha!" He hit the wall. "Gah!" He got hit by a store. "Come on!" He was flung towards a building and again, and again.
"WOULD YOU CUT THAT OUT!"
Flash had enough as he whipped his new weapons; three energy blue claws came out of his hands as he sliced the hand straight off, setting him free. He landed on the ground as he got back up. "You're in for a surprise. I found the new weapons a while back and had an urge to use them." He ran at him in quick speed and blinded him by the second, hitting him in the face, but the assassin bot blocked it inches away from the attack. Flash grabbed his hand in mid-air and jumped behind him, hitting him in the back with his claws and kicking him to finish the attack. The assassin bot flipped in mid-air and used his swords on the ground to stop the momentum and used them to launch at Flash, hitting him back.
Flash had to think fast as this guy was getting to his open area and not giving him an opening of his own. As he came towards him and launch an assault his body glowed blue as he used his hand to block the strike. When the fist made contact, it heavily broke in halt as he scream in pain, giving him the clear opening. He saw the pain look of the enemy and launched a direct hit at his face with his hand glowing. The assassin bot was flung back as pieces of his mask and face broke from the impact of the punch. He crashed into the wall, creating a crater.
"Hah! TAKE THAT!" Flash fixed his injured hand as he shook it a bit. He went towards the attacker to ask for questions when suddenly he got up and threw something on the ground, making a big light that blinded Flash for a second. He looked to see he was gone. "Dang it, he got out." He muttered. "Great, who the hell is after my back to go this far?"
He needed to go back right now as he needed rest. "Gotta go back before he gets Uzi or the others." He quickly used his wings and flew up fast.
"For the last time. I'm not going to kill your stupid Boyfriend! So why don't you leave me alone!" V shouted
"And for the last time. He's not my Boyfriend! So why can't you get it right!" Uzi shouted back.
This has been going on for a while as both girls were in an arguing mess as they had gotten together. Uzi wouldn't stop trying to get answers from V on what she had been doing outside. But she wouldn't budge and kept on saying she simply talked with Flash. Talk, Yeah right. She's gonna get to the bottom of that and nothing will stop her.
"I know you were up to something and nothing good. You coming back that easily without any sort of struggle and willingly. And let's not forget you were hear trying to kill me every minute." Uzi kept on accusing."So let me hear it buster. What really happened! And no more of the bullshit of you and him making out! I had enough of hearing it and N wining about this."
V clearly wasn't phased by her look as she kept on her poker face."Fine. You wanna know the truth. Simple, He promised me that he'll fight me with his new weapons and give me a well fight. I was getting pretty board on just fighting you guys who couldn't fight back and hide except you who did fight but still almost lost. Flash and N are the only one to give me a fight. And Flash the only one I wanna go all out on and kill. N..... Not feeling it to kill that guy."
"So he agreed to this.... Huh. Actually I can believe that one." She muttered."Ok, Now you have a good explanation on that so I won't bother much. But I wanna know something. Why is Flash different. I know his not a Disassembly Bot and his also not one to be created by the company. Cause what ever he is, He's clearly made different."
"Oh, And how you say that?" V raised an eye brow. Thinking she may get it so she Humor her on more as to not let his secret out yet."He could be from the company and was made by an enemy to infiltrate us and kill all of us and you."
"There's some logic to your words. I mean who knows what those humans are and what they have caused so they may have made Flash to do there dirty work. But, at the same time it's not that... He talks way to different and the way he looks after me the time you wanted to kill me... It's like he's."
"Not made by the company but someone else." V had to give her some credit. She can keep her crazy face on and her pocker face on."Eh, Don't know don't care. All I care about is getting me some oil and killing more of your kind. And for right now..." She went close to Uzi face as she had her crazy smile."You are making me hard not to kill you and slice and dice you aswell."
Uzi got back and held on to her gun as she gave her a glare. A fight would happen and it won't be pretty."Ok you know what lets calm down. This isn't getting us anywhere and as long as this is happening were gonna be going on a complete knockout fight."
"Hm, I wanted to do this. But since I did my swear so I'll agree to this and we'll call this a draw." V got back on the seat." So mind telling me about what you and Flash been doing this past few days. You been out a lot."
"He took me to some stores that somehow still got the goods so far on anime and Light novels. I really like this new Manga called 'Vigilante' Flash said he'll be getting the Show out as he already has the DVD." Uzi explained to her as she had her time of day with Flash."I say the Manga is good and with the past story and the Main character."
"Is there blood shead?"
"Oh yeah, There's the best fight and the slaughter fest the human do to one another. My favourite was Vigilante first introduction with the Child murder." Uzi explained as she did liked the fight and the intro. V smiled "You know there are changes in Manga and The Dramas as some don't fully go with the plot right."
"I know but it's just- wait how do you know about that? Didn't think you'll be one to watch it." Uzi said with a raised brow.
"I got curious on one of the Drama called City Hunter. It's anime was a bit different but good with R Rated things but the series were a complete different attention with all the plot twist and such. So I got some in mind and before leaving the Earth. I snatched a few series that are still in releasing as I'll get the update everyday on them and a bit more." She told her with a smirk as she show her a pad with the series on it.
"No Way! You gotta let me use it!" Uzi exclaimed as she try to reach it but V held it back."Come on! I wanna see it!"
"Nope! This is mine!" Now another argument came up as she and Uzi try to wrestle for the Pad.
As that was happening inside the pod. N right now hanged upside down as a bat. He was right was on sleep state and was getting rest. He didn't wanted to burn down his system with all the work and all so getting a bit rest was good for him. Plus he's mind wasn't on this as he was thinking on how his friend is different and what is the secret between Uzi and her mysterious eye. It all doesn't make sense and it's getting him in a bind.
"N....N! Hey N! I need you hear buddy!" He quickly snapped out as he looks to see Flash calling him from below."Could you get down hear! I'm gonna need help!"
"Coming!" N said as he flew down towards him."What do you need brotato. Anything happened." He said trying to play a swang.
"First of all, Worse swang ever. Second of all. I just got attacked by another one of the assassins." Flash quickly told him making N worry."Wow. Another. But we just got away from the last one and he wasn't much friendly to be precise. Well he did leave a gift behind."
"Yeah, But he's still out there and he may cause another attack and may hurt Uzi and V... V may held her self well but Uzi won't and that also doesn't mean he may go easy on V by not tricking her. So you and I need to work together on stopping him." N eyes widen when he heard this.
"You mean like a buddy buddy adventure!"
"More like a Hero and Sidekick but you know the Basics. So anyway let's go." He told but N had a question in mind."Wait, I'm still confused. Why not we have get help from the girls, Uzi is good with her weapon and she can also help in modified."
"We can ask her later. She'll be to reckless and she hasn't fully know what danger's there actually are and what they can do. She'll ran in and cause more problems for all of us." N frowned as he heard Flash say that. That may be true but he didn't have to say it like that."Come on, Once we dealt with this guy we'll tell her about it later. She'll get over it once we give her some new tools."
"Well.... Ok then. But let's hope what were dealing with won't be to much or else we have to put them in the battle."
"Don't worry, It be ok." Flash waved his worry as he and N soon flew off. As they went away few moments later Flash was running towards the pod as he didn't slow down.
He opened the patch and jumped in as he sees Uzi and V doing there own thing."Uzi your Ok!"
"Flash? Yeah I'm ok. V didn't get a chance to do anything to me so yeah. How-"
"No time! V we got a new enemy in our hands." V smiled menacingly as he explained to them on what happened and who he fought back there and the abilities of his."Wait, So this guy is more of a quick kill guy then cause he wanted to end this quick and you said he can fight without a head meaning his another Disassembly Drone then.. Or something else." She theorised.
"What else he may be then." Uzi chipped in."If he's hear to kill Flash then he's a gunman for hire or something cause the thing about killing you is not everyone thing. You said the Samurai bot wanted to test things out with you so which means he was hired to kill but wanted to do on his own."
Flash nodded."That's the sum of it actually. The thing is that this guy after me. I think he wasn't alone in the matter." He told making them blink."Hear me out. He didn't come hear alone as I could some how feel that there was another one with him. As he/she was helping him in the matter."
"So it's a two on one." Uzi said
She quickly thought about the scenario in her mind. With each anime she had watched and got heavy knowledge over bad guys plans is that they always come on groups and sneak attacks. But that only goes with those who want to endlessly kill there enemy or are two egoist to not let go of there kill. Witch mean that they would some how give an opening to find them or bait them with-"Um Guys. Where's N?" She suddenly asked.
"I don't know I thought he may be with you guys. I didn't see him outside or so." Danger rang in Uzi head as she heard this."This isn't good! N might be in danger!"
Flash and V shared a look as they thought about this. Yeah. He could be in danger and one that may be out of there reach.
N and 'Flash' have been flying for a while as N looked around to see if he spotted anything at all. It was quite hard to find someone around with all the snow and all so he scanned around the areas to see any unsourced energy fuel.
"We've been looking for this person for quite a while and we still haven't found him yet. Are you sure he's still around?" N asked as he looked at his comrade But all he received was quite."Um Flash anything wrong?"
'Flash' soon went down below as N fallowed him. They both landed on the ground as 'Flash' turned towards him."So, What do you find? Did we found the enemy? Are we gonna kick ass?!" He cheered.
"Yup we are now." N smiled excitedly But before he knew it something hit him on his stomach really hard. No not that. Something went through his stomach right now. Something sharp. He slowly looks down towards his stomach as he sees a fist implanted in it and the owner of the hand was standing Infront of him with a toothy grin."F-f-L-Flaj-Flash? What's g-Gk-Going on!"
"Oh it's so easy to fool the sunder heads. They don't even see it coming do they." 'Flash' spoke in a female voice as He/She pulled there fist back from his stomach as there was a badge on it witch was showing a loading process."Hah, Another on caught in this. You guys can come out now!"
As He/She shouted out, Some worker drones started to come out of the buildings and broken cars as they were all wearing black leather clothes and wore police raide helmets and held up equipment that was of standard police raids. N couldn't move as his whole body was in lock down for some reason as what ever this imposter did had stopped him in his tracks."Got a fresh one hear. He's a bit of air head so try to go easy on him and make sure steel doesn't break him to much. I wanna have my share of fun in it." She told as she pressed her side head and the body changed as now standing in Flash place was someone else. This one was a female worker drone that had long red hair and wore a pink shirt and a black sleeveless jacket with styled pants. She had pink visors and a start symbol on her cheek."Surprised little guy. I bet you are with all this but can't spill the beans just yet so you have to wait when we get back to the guild. You'll get your answers soon."
As she talked to him the worker drones were carrying him over as they started to take him away. N try to give out a cry for help or anything but he couldn't move one bit."Hey, Don't bother trying to call for help. Your friend will be joining soon enough. And the chip implanted in you keeps you from doing anything so your pretty much useless." He heard one of the worker drone saying to him.
"Oh Gary, Lighten up a bit. He's a young boy and don't spoil the fun to quick. We still have a lot to cover up."
As they went on there way. They didn't notice someone or something was watching them from far off with it's one yellow eye. And it was hungry for fresh oil and metal.
[Back on Earth]
Inside a big room, There were people working around with computers and a big screen was on top showing the map of the planet.
At there a girl stood over watching the screen with not losing focus. She had purple long hair and orange skin. she wore blue and black jeans and shirt and a black jacket with a lightning shape emblem on it with a shield. She watched the map with focus and had to memories each spot."Anything on the hist so far." She called out to the near worker.
"Negative mam. The spy's haven't contacted back and the one who did so far hasn't come back yet." The worker told as he gave the report." Any report on the team so far. Have they gotten to meet the him or not."
She got the same answer like before."Dang it. Fine then once the spy's contact back make sure you get the update report on the company and the Gigi's got it. I want them on my desk as soon as possible." She ordered as the worker nodded and left.
As she went back to her staring just then another figure came in the room wearing black suite."You look down. Anything happened." Asked the person.
She looked at the figure and signed."Not now Spike. I'm not in the mood to go with small jokes. I'm trying to get this done. The retrieving team haven't contacted back in a while and the spy's are still in out of getting back the data on JC Company." She saw him held up a Flash drive Infront of her."You got it."
Spike smirked cockily at that."well, did you ever doubt me for a second. I had my skills work just fine in the field of hacking. And they didn't even notice it till later." He explained as he handed her the Chip."So, Now that it's done, You may want to ease up a bit as I got a report back. I got food news and bad news. Which do you wanna hear first."
She simply waved at him to give both."Ok, So the good news is Flash is on the planet we thought he was and safe. The bad news is the Emperor knows as well as the company." He gave her the Abridged version as he waited for the response. He got it when she banged her fist on the wall in anger."Yeah, He's sending out some of the league of Assassination wannabe to get your Brother's head on a silver platter."
"Dang it! One wasn't enough!" She muttered in anger as she has now new mission."Ok, I'll think of something new to have backup for him. You get this chip to the recovery team and the Hackers. Find out what's in it and report back later. I gotta make a call."
"Will do." He saluted as he left her alone. She quickly got into action by taking out a black phone so no one can hear her conversation. She dialed a number on it as she waited.
"Come on Scott, You know how I do things, If someone is in trouble then I'm gonna help no matter what. Even if I don't get appreciated. I still feel fine as long as the the others are safe."
She closed her eyes as she remembered those words. Those exact words he told her. She stopped her self form crying as she focuses on the task Infront of her. That is helping her brother.
He woke up later as he found himself in some sort of dark room with the light coming only from above. He was still paralyzed and couldn't move around much as he waited for whatever was to come. Suddenly, he heard steps approaching him.
As the figure came towards him into the light, N's eyes widened in shock at how large he was. Larger than a truck, perhaps, or a boulder. The figure wore a dark metallic suit that had red glowing eyes and also had two large antennae on his head and down below his eyes, making it look like a crown and mask. He also wore a faceplate over his mouth that had teeth-like designs. His hands were covered in the same metal with two large bracers that had spikes on them, which were also on his feet as well. His back had a machine gun attached to it with a heavy arsenal of bullets. The large armored figure looked at N as he could tell he was glaring at him, and it certainly didn't seem like a friendly gaze.
"You have all the time to look me up, Murder Bot. It will be the last thing you'll see when I'm through with you." He spoke in a deep, hostile voice as he glared at him. "But, you're going to be a bit lucky for now, because someone wants your little partner's head, and they're giving us the records we need to make it happen. So, be patient then." The Armor Bot said as he could see the eyes of the Murder Drones filled with shock and fear. He smirked, knowing he was going to enjoy this.
Inside a CCTV room, the video was being shown of what was happening in the room as two bots were looking at the computer. "Hahaha. Oh look, looky, he's gonna be going into battle with Gutsy! I hope he doesn't break him too much." A female voice giggled.
Let's hope so; we don't want to make our guests angry now, do we? He was kind enough to donate this equipment to us, and he even gave us these models in question. The second voice said as it was also female, just like the first one, and they continued to chat along. By the way, where is he?
He stood in the same room as them. "I want to catch you off guard," he said, his voice laced with menace. The first girl pointed at him, her eyes wide with fear, but she couldn't help but let out a creepy giggle. "I love surprises, and I definitely gonna love this!"
Back in the room where the Murder Drone and Armor Bot were, a figure was watching them from the shadows. It was revealed to be the Assassin bot himself, waiting patiently for his prey to arrive. What better way to get their attention than having someone take care of the Murder Drones? As they say, 'An enemy of my enemy is my acquaintance.' All I have to do is wait for the right moment.
