Past Ghost
Chapter one: The wanderer
Xxxx
I can hardly believe that it has gone such a long time. A long time since we separated. How long has it been again? I have never been good at counting. I guess I didn't need to count back then. You were good at it though.
I miss the days when we were together, dong all kinds of stuff. I remember when we flew across the sky together, fought together, endured our pain together. I remember being there for you when life was unfair to us… and most of all I remember how we played and had fun together. It wasn't often but I did cherish those moments. If I could turn back time, I would go back to those times.
But those moments are gone now, gone with the wind. You are no more then a ghost in my memories. No matter where you are now, you are still my brother. No matter what I do or how many years that goes by, I will never forget you. Not even if I wanted to. During the nights I go back to the time when you and I walked side by side.
I keep a watchful eye on the surroundings around me as I walk down the mountain passage. I have learned to be careful during all these years. You wouldn't recognize me now if you saw me. Back then I was full of life, I could move around without a fear in the world. But as the years have gone by I have learned the hard way that it is best to stay hidden. Does that remind you of someone?
There aren't anyone left alive that I know, they are all gone now. The robots we knew are gone, along with the humans… but then again, you did say that they were weak and would one day go under. How right you were. No human can fight age I guess.
I stop in my tracks as I pick up the sound of footsteps. I turn my head a little so that I can pick up where it comes from. I quietly walk down the path forwards the sounds, making sure to stay hidden. I move slowly so that I don't make a sound. I must watch where I place my feet so I don't accidentally kick a rock or something.
Reploids… now isn't that unusual? Hear my sarcasm?
They have been around these parts a lot lately. Why? I have no idea. But I want to find out. I have lived here ever since you left me. You could say that I consider this my territory. And you know how I feel when someone is intruding on what I consider mine.
There they are. Hmm… one, two, three… a lot of them. What? I'm lousy when it comes to counting! So sue me! Reploids are so much bigger and more advanced then the robots I used to know ages ago. They are even more advanced then us together, bro. That is why I never want to get myself involved with them. I wouldn't stand a chance. In my current state I wouldn't be able to defend myself against a human if I tried. You are laughing at me, aren't you? But that is the truth. I have lived long enough to see them evolve; I have seen them get stronger and stronger. The ironic thing is that they don't need humans to evolve. They help each other. A little like us I guess.
I sneak a little closer to the Reploids, wanting to hear what they were doing here. I can't do anything about it, but it might be good to know. It is a small army down there but three of them are sticking out from the mass. I believe that they are the leaders of group. I stop only a few meters away and press myself close to the boulders around me. I can hear and see them perfectly from here. The 'army' was standing in a half circle around the three 'leaders'.
"What are our orders? There is nothing here, only rocks and sand"
"Well, Dragoon, we have orders to stay here until sir Sigma comes. Why this location, I don't know, but we stay and that is that. Live with it"
"Chill it, Yammark. We don't need to wait long so there is no need to get hostile"
The dragon, lizard or what ever reploid turned to the bee looking robot and scratched his head. "I hope you are right, Izzy. I would really like to get this over with so I could get back to the volcano. It's a bit chilly around here. Besides, Mattrex and Blaze are waiting for me. We have a score to settle" he said and smirked.
He looks horrible when he smirks. Reminds me of the old geezer. Now that brought really nasty memories back…. Hu… I will sleep uneasy tonight…
The one that looked like a bug… yeah, I said bee but now when I have a closer look at him he looks like a small bug with a moustache… there is the horrible images again. Anyhow he turns to the dragon looking reploid… man this is getting hard. Explaining all of this…
"And what 'score' do you have to settle?"
"Magma rugby"
"I'm not even going to ask what that means"
"Your loss" the dragon said and turned around. He narrowed his eyes a little and turned his head to the side. "What is that?" he asked his comrades.
Izzy turned to see what the dragon was talking about. He spotted a large boulder that had tons of scratches on it. All the boulders around it were smooth and unmarked so the scratches made it stick out a lot. The bug looking reploid flew over to the boulder and touched it, inspecting it closely. "It doesn't seem like there is anything of interest about it" he said after a few minutes.
Yammark walked up next to the bee and had a look himself. "Nothing, hu? It seems like the boulder is blocking a tunnel or something" he said.
Dragoon locked his upper jaw once and brought rubbed his hands together. "Let's move it. I mean, then we have something to do until Sigma comes" he laughs and grabs a hold on the boulder. The huge boulder slowly gives away under his hands.
I gasp as I see what they are doing. That boulder… they mustn't move it! That boulder hides memories of my past. It is also your resting place, bro. I know I won't live if I get into a fight with them but at the moment I don't care! The memories are more important than my life!
The feeling… the heated rush that moves through my body when battling… I feel it. After so many years I feel it again. And it feels great.
I growl loudly and dash over to the group. I throw my body at the dragon, making him topple over. If he had been aware that I was going to attack him he probably wouldn't have fallen since I'm a lot lighter then him. I guess I caught him by surprise… or he is weaker then I thought.
I land on my side and quickly get up. Is there something remember you teaching me it is to never stay down for long. Everything I know about battling I learned from you.
The army moved forward when they saw one of the leaders fall. "You ok, sir?" they all asked.
Dragoon shook his head and growled as he got up. He threw a heated glare around him as he pushed back the soldiers that were trying to help him up. "Who the hell was that! Who dared to attack me! I'll kill him!" he snapped.
Izzy blinked as he spotted the dragon's attacker. "What? Now that is odd. I haven't seen anything like that before" he mumbled.
Dragoon growled at the bug and turned to face his attacker. He frowned at what he saw. "A scrawny robot dog? That pathetic thing attacked me?" he asked before throwing his head back and laughed loudly.
Man, his laughing hurt my ears. I growl loudly and bare my silver white fangs. It takes me two seconds before I have my fangs buried in his exposed throat. My weight combined with his made him fall over again, landing hard on his back.
'If they are dumb enough to expose themselves to their enemy, use their stupidity for your own gaining'
Your words ring true in my ears as I twist my body one before slamming my claws into the underside of the dragon's chin. I'm amazed how easily the metal rips under my teeth and claws. The taste of blood coloured oil that flows over my tongue juts makes me bit down harder.
"GAHHHH! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR, FOOLS!" The red and white dragon reploid roars as I start to pull at his throat, slowly tearing the insides apart.
I hear the sound of a plasma shot whistle through the air and I quickly withdraw my fangs and jerk backwards just as the plasma shot passes my head. One would have thought that my reflexes would have gone bad over the years but I even amaze myself. I never stop moving as I charge the reploid who had fired the shot. It really looks like an improved Sniper Joe. Good thing. They were the main target practice I used when you and I trained, brother. I feel the metal crumble under my bite as I get a hold of the reploid's face. A soft sizzle is all that is heard as it slumps to the ground.
I yelp as something slams into my stomach and I'm thrown a yard away from the sniper. I land hard on my back but I'm back on my feet in no time. I growl as I see that it was the other bug looking reploid leader that had kicked me aside. Damn it! I'm not a dog that you can kick around! I curse myself for not noticing him coming though.
"What is the matter with you all? Especially you, Dragoon? I mean, it is just a robotic dog. It shouldn't be a problem for any of us" Yammark snorted and poked at the slain soldier on the ground before him.
"Ke! I was just taken by surprise, that's all" Dragoon muttered as he got up for a second time. He wiped off a small amount of bloodish oil from his chin and growled as he saw it stain his hand. "But no worries. It is as good as destroyed"
I lick my upper lip as he advances on me. I must stay sharp! I look a little to the side of the dragon reploid to see my marked boulder. At least I have gotten their attention away from it.
I dash to the side Dragoon vanishes from before me only to appear in the spot I was in a second ago. I'm quick to grab his leg and pull it from under him before I ran at the filthy bug that had kicked me. My way is blocked however by the mass of reploids. My eyes widen a little in surprise.
'No matter what, never hesitate. That will be your downfall if you do'
Instead of stopping I run faster. I might have a chance against one of them, but not this many. But at the moment I don't aim to kill.
Just before impact I use all my strength to jump over the sniper. In midair I bring out my front paws so that the first thing that hits my target is my claws. My weight and the earth's gravity makes my impact hard and brutal. Armour rip like paper under my claws as I strike an unfortunate sniper. But I don't only concentrate on the victim under me. At the same time as impact I reach out and bury my fangs into the arm of the reploid beside me. With a mighty heave I toss him over my head and throw him into the crowd behind me.
I'm amazed how easily they are defeated. They aren't all that stronger then the Sniper Joes from my past. A little bigger but not all that stronger.
In a fluid motion I attack the next Sniper. Now I'm fighting to survive. I mustn't stop moving!
"What is going on here?"
I look up from where I have my nose buried in the chest of a sniper. Around me all reploids freeze at hearing the voice. I jerk my head back and drop the wires and metal junk I pulled out from the sniper.
In the middle of the battle field, around where I first attacked the dragon reploid, stood a massive reploid. His ice blue eyes scan the area and the few dead reploids that lay there. His face was hidden behind a black hood but his eyes glowed within the darkness.
Behind the newcomer was a few new reploids in different sizes and shapes. But my attention was glued to the hooded one.
Dragoon, Dizzy and Yammark bowed slightly before the new reploid. "Sigma sir" they all said at the same time.
Ke! Only weaklings hide themselves within a cloak. No true fighter hides. He must think that he is so cool and mysterious like that. I'll rip his head clean off!
I launch myself at him. Even if I didn't succeed I would try.
His movements are fast but I managed to see the fist that was aimed at me. No chance in hell that I would be able to avoid that. But still it didn't mean that I would give up. A satisfied crunch greeted my ears as my white fangs dug into his fist. It hurt a lot but it was worth it.
Sigma wasn't amused. He muttered as the robot dog hung on to his fist. "All this trouble for this nonsense? FOOLS!" he roared and swung his fist against the rock wall.
I'm not kidding when I'm saying that I saw stars before my eyes when my head hit the wall. Everything blackened before my eyes as a loud crack rung though my head.
Yet I never let go of the fist between my fangs. You would have been disappointed in me if I did, wouldn't you, bro?
'Never give in. Never yield. Never surrender. Never give up. That is a golden rule. Never forget that…'
Brother…
My conscious is slowly giving in to darkness.
'Never forget that… … … ... … ... …... Treble'
I won't give up…. Bass.
