"Hello. This is a representative of SF Transporting service, how may I assist you?" I said into my mouth piece. "Hi, I need you to deliver three very special packages," my client on the other side said. "Understood. Are any of the packages fragile or temperature sensitive?"
"Just one is temperature sensitive," said my client. "Understood. On my way to your location." I cut the feed and veered off the highway towards my client's location. I ducked through the various alleyways through out the city and stopped underneath a lamp post by a dock. I checked the tracker on my bike and the location was correct. "Odd, the client is normally waiting for me at the location given to me," I muttered under my breathe.
I got off my bike and took off my helmet, feeling the sweat start to freeze my scalp in the night breeze. I ruffled my hair to try and get some sweat out and put my helmet on my bike's seat. I leaned against the lamp post and waited for my client. I was just about to doze off when I heard sirens coming around the corner. I paid it no mind until I saw a child holding a stuffed animal come running around the corner. Seeing her run reminded me of my little sister before she was trampled by mavericks. I put my helmet on and jumped on my bike with the goal of picking her up while she was running.
I managed to grab her and put her on the small of the seat in front of me. She held onto me without me even telling her. By the time we lost the police, we were in the forest outside town. I helped the girl off and pulled my helmet off. "Alright, you're safe now. Mind telling me your name?" I said to the frightened little girl. She looked away and said something under her breathe. "Can I at least have an initial?" "Pyrrha…" she said. "Nice name, Pyrrha. Mind telling me why those police bots were chasing you?" "...chasing me and Levi…" she mumbled again. Now that I had more time to take it in, the stuffed animal in the girl's hand was a sea dragon and she had a light blue messenger bag on her shoulder. "Is Levi the sea dragon in your arms?" I asked. She nodded affirmatively and hugged it even tighter.
I kneeled and rubbed the girl's head gently and looked her in the eyes. "Did someone tell you to head to that dock to meet someone on a bike?" "Yes," she replied and looked me in the eyes. She showed me a ticket with an address on it with a tag of fifteen thousand credits as the compensation. I scanned the barcode on the ticket and got up. I pulled an extra helmet from one of the containers on my bike that looked small enough for Pyrrha. I put it on her and put her on my bike once more.
We were back on the highway on our way to her destination when Pantheon Riders began shooting at me. I swerved through traffic trying to avoid further blaster fire. I may have had biker gear on, but it's not designed to withstand getting shot. I cursed under my breath and told Pyrrha to hang on to me. I jumped the barrier on the side of the highway, falling 20 feet to the floor below. I let go of my bike and curled my body around Pyrrha and started rolling to minimize the fall damage.
After we were done rolling, I asked Pyrrha if she wasn't hurt. She appeared to be unconscious, but unscathed. I looked all around me and saw that were in a forest just underneath the highway. I saw my bike and knew, even in the dim light, that it was wrecked, nearly unable to be salvaged. I tried waking Pyrrha up before I gave up and got us ready for a long walk to the next available mode of transport.
I put her bag over my shoulder and hiked her up on my back.
"At least he won't leave her to die in the forest."
I started turning my head and body around, trying to find the source of the voice. "I should get my head checked after this delivery is over," I said aloud. "This guy can hear me? He can't be my biomatch." I then thought, "Yeah, better get my head checked."
After walking about 30 meters, a blaster shot narrowly missed my head. I started running but was soon surrounded by multiple pantheons. A woman stepped out from the ring of pantheons, carrying a sword scabbard on her left hip and a large charm over it.
"I'm amazed you made it this far, Mr. Transporter. However, we'll be taking the girl and the biometal,"she said once she straightened her purple coat. "I don't know about a biometal, but you're not getting this girl. It's my company's motto to transport all goods safely without questions and without alteration."
"I was hoping you would say that,"she said as she began to reach for the charm and scabbard. She held out both and said, "Rock-on." She was enveloped in a purple and orange cyclone of flames. When the flames died down, she was in a white armor with orange semi-transparent spikes on her shoulders and back of her head. Her scabbard had turned into two energy swords with orange energy burning the air around it.
"With your despair in failing your delivery, it will make my master ever more powerful. Kneel and wallow in despair, rat," the woman said before she pulled her arms back to strike me down. I flinched before the blades made contact with me, but all I felt was a greater weight in my arms as well as cold metal against my thin gloves. I looked up to see two green hands holding the blades.
"Don't touch my partner's friend, Titania." It sounded like it came from Pyrrha, but it sounded older. The hands pushed the blades away and lifted Pyrrha off of my back. I looked up to see her in an armor of green with purple accents. The green hands sprouting from her back as well as two green gloves that covered her entire arm.
"I see you've taken the lead this time, Model Y. How long until your partner wakes up and you have to stop your transformation?" "Long enough to allow the other relic to find its partner."
"Oh come on, Y. I don't want this guy to be my partner. He doesn't even have any strength within him." "Hey, whoever is saying that, I do have strength. I follow through with my promises." "Fine, take me out of the bag and yell out, 'MegaMERGE' as loud as you can."
I did as I was advised and took out a strange orange rock with a golden insignia on it in the shape of an omega on it. I held it out and yelled, "Mega-MER~~~~GE" at the top of my lungs. The voice then began to glow and I heard, "Bio-link: established. M.E.G.A-Systems: online" When I was finally able to see again, I was holding a gun in my left hand and a purple energy sword in my right.
"I'll draw Titania's attention away while you take care of the grunts. Take this moment to familiarize yourself with your new power," the other voice said. After this, Pyrrha's body grabbed the woman in white armor, I'm assuming was was Titania, and flung her off somewhere.
Once gone, all the Pantheons pointed their buster arms at me. I put the gun at my hip and ran at the pantheon in front of me. I slashed through it and three other pantheons, clearing the circle. "I better get to where Pyrrha is so she can get some help. From what Titania had said, she won't have a lot of time to transform."
"This wouldn't have happened if you were so weak." "I didn't know I was gonna have to fight. If you don't want to help, I can just give you to the pantheons and help Pyrrha on my own." "Who said anything about not helping you? I made a promise to protect that child so long as I still shone brightly. Let's go take this queen's crown." "Copy that."
As I attacked hostiles left and right, I got better and better at using this "Biometal" that I had obtained. The gun was easy enough to use; it was the sword that took real finesse. I even managed to shoot down a twin-copter that looked like a fly. When I got to Pyrrha, she was unconscious and tied up.
"Ah, so the newest player has arrived at last. I was just about to transport this 'girl' to my superiors."
"You are going to do no such thing. She's my package and it's my job to deliver my packages unharmed and untampered!" I yelled as I ran at Titania.I slashed at her and missed, but she didn't know I had my gun in my other hand. I landed a headshot as I sped past her with the momentum from my attempt. She was stunned at first and was rubbing where my gun hit her.
"You're an annoying one, I can tell. What I don't understand is how you were able to hit me while you were moving like that." "If you were a long time customer of Super Fast Transporting, you'd know that I'm the Moving Sniper Neo."
She pulled her energy swords and began spinning them. I readied my own purple saber and held it backwards. She began to try and circle me, but I rushed at her. I swung at her with my saber, getting blocked very easily. She didn't see me bringing my gun close to her abdomen as I was swinging. I let loose the energy I was building up in my gun and released it at point blank on her abdomen. She was sent flying back right before her sword connected with me. When she stopped skidding she tried to get up but fell onto her knees.
"How is this possible? I'm the head of security at my company!" Titania screamed. Before I could say anything, people swooped in from above the treeline and forced Titania out of her transformation. Afterwards, she was knocked out and left on the floor of the forest. I canceled my own and ran to Pyrrha. I picked her up and tried to run from the people, but more came from among the trees and stopped me.
"Great, I traded a headache for a migraine," I said as they began to corner me. Once there was a circle of people in uniforms around me, a woman in a pink clothes with blonde hair and green eyes stepped out from behind them. I then noticed the reploid mark that is standard issue on all reploids. "Everyone, lower your guard. These are the people we're meant to meet," said the woman. The circle broke and everyone began to start heading in a certain direction. I still didn't trust this woman. "Don't worry, transporter. We're here to help you and the girl on your back." "How do I know I can trust you?" "Because I'm the one who made the request."
I stood aghast at what she'd said. What did I just sign up for? I had no idea. I only knew it all began with this request.
