New Bot on the Block
Prologue
(A/N: Welcome viewers to a story I've been wrangling in my head for a while. First off i like to apologise for it being another romance story, but i assure you i will go back to an incomplete story after this. Secondly, I sincerely hope you viewers enjoy my stories so far, and i will accept complaints on them and try my best to fix them. Anyway, enjoy the story.)
In the orbit above Cluster Prime, inside the warship among the Cluster Armada, there was an explosion in the R&D labs; red lights were signalling an emergency protocol, alarm horns were blaring and a thick cloud of smoke was coming out of a broken containment chamber. The Ship's AI announced "Attention Cluster Staff and Security Personnel, test subject #09 has breached containment. Due to the threat this subject possesses, Code-9 is now in effect: All staff proceed to their organised safety zones and all Security Personnel prevent the subject from leaving the vessel. The test subject is deemed armed and adamantly dangerous." The Cluster Scientists, Chemists and Assistants fled to their safety zones as Cluster Forces took tactical positions throughout the ship; however, they expressed doubt as they heard rumors of his exceptional combat skills from the head scientist.
Before they could react, they were laid on their back; their weapons and equipment shattered with a single sweep of quantum energy and they, along with some scientists who were looking out through the windows, saw him as the song 'Rules of Nature' from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance played in the background: it was a humanoid figure, standing at about 6' 13", covered in what looks like dense black armour, with his face covered by a holomask and a face appeared on it, having 2 oval eyes and a mouth frowning down upon them, saying "Heads up…" They expressed fear from his power and he dashed up ahead in a stream of Quantum energy, taking down defence turrets and Arc Pylons without any effort, when Vexus' voice rang through the PA "Son… please think rationally; you really want to leave this ship, bound to that pitiful planet? Won't you rather turn back to your bed and rest?" Test Subject #09 replied sarcastically "Good point, mom… Pass."
He then blasted through some heavy blast doors with his combined Quantum Hand-Cannons in 3 shots and took down some Cluster Forces in swift movement with nothing but unarmed skills. As he reached the last corridor leading to the retractable bridges leading to the escape pods, a dozen of Sphere-Bots blocked the way with their weapons at the ready. The P.A. then went on again and Vexus warned "I'm dead serious: Turn back now and we can forget this would ever happen." Test Subject #09 replied "Yeah… not a chance." He then crossed his arms in front of his and light blue enrgy swords materialised from his hands and effortlessly reflected the laser blasts back at the Sphere-Bots, destroying them with ease before he cut through the blast door and stepped over it onto the retractable bridge.
He then felt a vibration and looked down to see the bridge leading to the escape pods retracting into the walls, when the PA rang again and Vexus said "I will not allow you to leave this ship. This is your final warning: turn back to your unit and power down NOW! If not, we will follow your pod to Earth and shoot it down without regret." Test Subject #09 then remarked "Well, you can TRY… but you won't stop me fleeing." He then jumped across the room and fell downwards as Vexus laughed deviously at his attempt, when he activated his thrusters and Vexus blurted out shortly after she saw through the camera "What?! HOW—"Test Subject #09 then replied "Jokes on you… 'Mom'."
He then flew to the other platform and pried open the doors leading to the Escape Pods and stepped in, when he saw Vega in the room and Test Subject #09 blurted out in surprised "Vega? What are you doing here?" Vega felt reluctance and replied "I knew you would escape here… so I wanted to help you escape, regardless of the consequences." Test Subject #09 is astounded that Vega wanted to help him escape, when Vexus over the Pa announced "When I get my hands on you Vega, I'LL—"Vega disabled the PA system and said "Please… use this pod. But you must change first… can't let the Cluster find you like that." Vega then approached Test Subject #09 and turned off his Holomask to see his face, which she smiled and remarked "I've got just the colour tone for you…"
As more Cluster troops advanced towards the Escape Pods, Vega firmly held Test Subject #09's shoulder and spun him around in a quick blur before putting on a mask and wielding a spray torch and painted him in white and blue before putting her index finger on his head and spun him to the Pod she gestured earlier and he sat on the puffed chair as the pod door closed and Vega told him "Get to Earth; the device you planted on the Ship's Navigation system should help your escape exceptionally. Good luck… Leo." Leo turned his head and smiled at Vega before replying "Thanks Vega. See you."
The Escape Pod then ejected and blasted off towards the planet Earth, when Vexus bellowed "Turn the ship portside! Blast that pod into bits!" The ship then turned to the right, when the Navigation Console in the Ship's Helm began to glitch out and suddenly went out, as well as the whole ship, making Vexus scream out in frustration. She then groaned unamused and said blankly "Well, at least the failsafe in his head should work." Leo then felt some migraines in head and it went worse and worse; he then screamed in pain, wishing it would stop, when it stopped… Leo felt it had gone away, but also his fully functioning powers as he realised the pod isn't outfitted with parachutes and screamed as he was heading to a hill on the outskirts of Tremorton before crashing and blacking out.
