Chapter 1: Retrieve
"Well well, what do we have here," said a pink and black reploid with a black visor.
"Hey magician I have found something," said the pink and black reploid. Another reploid-like person comes out and look at the specimen.
"Well well. You did well for your first dig rider," said the blue reploid-like person.
"So what do you want us to do with the specimen," said Rider as she touch the capsule with the lettering ATHENA HALSBERG.
"It is a reploid artifact by the looks of it. 21XX those are hard to come by especially the condition this one is," said Magician.
"Gwen! I found another capsule," said a male reploid of red and orange. Rider looks at this one in particular as if she likes him.
"Archer we will have a talk later but for now lets see this capsule you found," said Magician who wears all blue armor like a reploid. As the three walked, a reploid of yellow and brown came up to Rider.
"Hey Rider, you lost the bet. Archer found one before you did," said a reploid in yellow and brown.
"On the contrary. I found a capsule of a 22nd century reploid. A little girl reploid but none of the less a reploid. So where is my 200 E-crystals that you promised me, Saber" said Rider.
"Curse you," said Saber as he pulled out one E-crystal. Rider was about to grab it and Saber pulled it away.
"I need to see your reploid first to believe you," said Saber. Rider smiled and point to her dig.
"Follow that path. I am curious what Archer found. While you are at looking at mine find one of your own or you will lose more than my bet," said Rider and Saber remember another bet he made with another reploid.
"I better find one quick," said Saber as he left in a heart flash. Rider smiled and followed magician. When they find another capsule, it has the name SNIPER KOTHARI.
"A militia reploid that is really hard to come by. It must have been from the old Kothari base which is now a military museum. This one is odd. Most of the Kothari reploids were either dead from the previous maverick attack or were in the Repliforce and later become mavericks. If she is still have the virus then we definitely going to need Mallira's help," said Magician.
"Are you sure that cyber-elf will help out? After all she is-" said Archer as Magician cuts him off.
"Mallira's genetics are spliced and manage to live longer than most cyber-elves but she is our only chance we have when it comes to a maverick reploid," said Magician.
"I hope you know what you are doing Gwen. If any of the sages know-" said Archer.
"I hope none of the sages know. We will be in trouble if Master Thomas and Master Makil finds out. I will be most likely," said Magician.
"Hey Gwen I found another capsule," said Saber as the other two follow him with Magician lagging behind.
"Nice work, saber," said Rider as she looked at the capsule said STRIDER HOKISHO.
"If we revive her, we will have Strider and Rider," said Saber as he laugh at Rider. Rider was not pleased with the joke.
"Hey now calm down you two. We are here for a dig not for messing around," said Archer as he stands in front of Strider's capsule.
"When we will revive them I am dying to know whose is the strongest," said Saber.
"Certainly not yours," said a reploid of gray and green accompany with another reploid of red and purple.
"Well well Castor you are confident that mine is going to lose," said Saber. The other reploid look at Saber with an evil eye.
"Berserker and I found another capsule and was shock to find it," said Castor who is gray and green.
"What a bookworm like you found," said Saber as they all walked to the capsule. The capsule was like the others but has the name ILLUMINA SKY.
"Illumina??? Well this is remarkable. She is still in stasis like the others we found. She will make any professor or robotology happy," said Magician.
"Ok lets move these capsules to the museum lab and revive them out of their stasis," said Magician. All of the reploids who find a capsule were going in their position to remove it from the ground and head it to the laboratory for revival.
"Lancer get your lazy butt up and help me," said Rider. A blue and white reploid look at the pink and black.
"Hey no one orders me around," said Lancer. Rider look very angry that she was teamed up with him for the dig and she dig the capsule herself.
"Well do something useful and cut the wires that holds the capsule," said Rider. Lancer called his Ice spear and cut the wires down.
"See I helped so there," said Lancer as he went to his lazy position and sleep. Rider rolled her eyes and use her tools to take the capsule. Once all four capsules were in place. The transporter of the museum took the capsules and the team that found it.
"Magician Larish. You have done a great job. Your team Rider Star, Lancer Pike, Archer Sound, Saber Quarrel, Castor Spells, and Berserker Force are recognize for finding these four capsules," said the Museum scientist Dr. Light Marril, a reploid of orange and green.
"So when the revival start," said Saber. Dr. Marril look at the specimens that the group dig.
"The revival starts tomorrow," said Dr. Marril, "In the meantime go and fetch Dr. Scorpio. See how his team found."
"Ok sir," said Archer as he took off in a flash. The others look at each other and Rider looks at Saber.
"Where is my E-crystals?" said Rider to Saber. Saber looked at the pink and black reploid and choked.
"I give them to you tomorrow," said Saber. Castor look at Saber and smiled. He look at Saber.
"From what I have seen. Rider dig up 2.48 seconds before Archer found his and Berserker and I found our 0.01 second before you. So that means you lost 200 E-Crystals to me and whatever you owe Rider,? said Castor. Saber paid Castor 200 E-Crystals off the bat.
"I did expecting to loose to you Castor but I was not expecting lose to Rider as well," said Saber.
"Well better pay her tomorrow or you will get the pulp beating out of you by me," said Berserker. Saber look at Berserker and gulped. Rider was thankful that Berserker is helping her out.
"Well we have a long day tomorrow why do not we all have rest and watch the revival tomorrow," said Magician as the other reploids agree with Magician and clock out. Archer come back with the report and follow the group who help him with the dig.
