Hello everyone as promised here's another weekend chapter for you all to enjoy.

Without much of anything elese to say lets get started while I treat my face injuries from fending off a basketball sized micro-scarab that I currently have trapped in the basement.

Chapter 2: Uneasy Agreement

? P.O.V

"I said tell me human!" The creature that was once my creation demanded as it tightens its grip around my neck. "I, lord Batearis, demand you tell me now!" Lord? Is he some sort of king or what.

Whatever this thing is begins to gain its footing as he rises, lifting me off the ground in the process. It then brought me closer until all I can see are the hate-filled emerald green eyes piercing through me like daggers as it growls bearing me it's serrated teeth. At this point it's a good idea to just give this thing what it wants.

"I'll talk…I'll talk." I was able to force out these words causing the creature to loosen its grip allowing me to take in air much easier. "What consists your body is a multilayered nanobots mesh that is capable of shaping itself into any form for any purpose. Its self sufficient as the entire colony can consume any biological materials and repurposes it as either energy or materials for constructing new nanobots." After finishing it looked over to its other arm and looked at it as if concentrating. A little after though a faint green shine appears on his forearm before a growth began to emerge like a tumor before it started to expand and take form into a scythe-like blade that is the length of its arm. I then begun to see a wide smile form on its face before it starts to laugh as if it won.

"Hahahaha! Excellent, with this body I can reclaim my title as the true monster king from that wretched beast and his partner." Wait what!? Did he just say monster king?

"Wait though, the body you have is incomplete and still has flaws in it." This makes the monster immediately stops and replaced its look with that of annoyance as it begins to glare at me again. Despite this I continue "First off the bio-conversion rate is too slow, if you consume too much too fast then you'll become sluggish since most of the energy will be directed to processing the material. Second you're starting out with less nanobots than if the growing phase were to finish." I was met with an angry growl from the "lord" as a response to my statement.

"Then fix it then!"

"Fine, but certain procedures will have to be taken to fix these flaws and that will take some time." It looks at me with skeptical eyes before dropping me.

"Then your first task, my minion, is to fix this flawed body."

"Sure thing." I mumbled before continuing. "Voice activation 72993, passcode: Omega, operation: termination."

"Wait, what?" A confused expression appeared on its face before its body starts to melt like butter. It recovers from the shock quickly and turns its attention towards me and with a furious expression the monster starts to crawl towards me once again but I start to move away in response. Little by little the creature loses its solidity before eventually only half of it remains as it continues to crawl towards me with an unquenchable resolve. Just as the now barely recognizable blob was about to grab my leg once again it lands harmlessly as what's left completely disappears into its own puddle of now deactivated metal.

Damn that was too close, but now at least I killed that thing off for good. I haven't used that code since the last model went haywire and nearly destroyed the place. But what it said earlier about being the Monster King, is it really true or just a glitch in its system? Considering what just happened that possibility is there but not likely, but if so then what made the model act like this? Regardless that champagne will have to wait.

I get up and prepare to clean up the mess when I hear gurgling coming from the puddle which instantly grab my attention. I observe the now stirring puddle of liquid metal as its surface begins to bubble with a green dim green light emitting from the center. From that light a short bulbous mass starts to emerge as it shows that it is the source of the glow.

"You dare betray me so soon minion!?" A more metallic voice comes through as its owner expresses its anger. How is this possible, all the microbots should be deactivated. "I cannot be denied of my vengeance, I have already escaped death once, do not think I can't do so again!" I quickly ran and got a nearby electric staff that was laying around and as I activated it it lights up to life as arcs of electricity emits from its toonfork tip. This should do the trick.

"This is for all my colleagues you killed you monster!" I rush at the reanimated blob with the pod in hand but before I could impale it the section I was going to strike for retracted as a a even dimmer light emits from it. I tried again but the same result happened and the blob monster starts to laugh at me attempts before speaking.

"Do you really think that I sent the monsters that killed your fellow apes? You're sorely mistaken human."

"What makes you think I can take your word?" I demand as I make another strike that misses its mark.

"Because I see human as a lion sees ants, weak creatures that don't deserve my slightest attention. Even if I knew about your abode I wouldn't see any value in it as it's made by you humans." Way to insult me and my dead friends you big-headed asshole. "However, I may know who you truly want to point your anger at." I stopped my attacks at its statement but kept my guard up as I kept the staff pointed at it.

"You better speak quickly then." I glare at the sentient heap of slime as I kept the electric staff close to the writhing mass.

"Even I know that monsters aren't known to play well together unless one were to take up the mantle of leadership and keep them in line. I just so happen to encounter one who called himself the Monster King who was accompanied by another. They are Orochi and gyoro Gyoro respectively. I also saw a couple of other monsters under his rule as well and though I may have just met them but I won't be surprised if they caused a little trouble with some humans." I became wide eyed at this, I still can't be sure if that's the truth but its the best I have in finding out what happened all toes years ago. "Come on, you look like and intellectual, I'm sure that you already know what to do." Despite the taunting tone of its voice I'm starting to really think about the offer. This thing may be a monster but it makes a valid point and though I may be disgusted by this fact, I gave in.

"Fine, I'll let you go, but don't get any ideas about sinking your claws in my back." I start to make my way to a nearby terminal with my staff still in hand. I look down on it and sighed in relief to know that it's still working. I go through the various files until I come upon the one labeled Icarus. A select it and I scanned the file until I see the activation label marked as disabled and I hesitated to actually select the option. I'm not sure if I should really release this beast, it's a monster that I despised and if its identity is true then it could a grave threat to the world.

"Come on, get on with it!" This made me jump as I realize that it is right next to me. I immediately select the option switching it back to activated.

I look to my right to see the puddle start to come back together as a humanoid form start to emerge from the now shrinking mass. That same dark green armor start to form across the body while the whole form completes itself. The face quickly forms as the body and armour finish forming revealing a smiling face that quickly started to look down upon me again as the now complete monster stretches its arms out before letting out a relaxed groan.

"There you go, that wasn't so hard now was it? And by the way I would prefer to sink my claws in your gut just so I can look you in the eyes as die in front of me. Now get on it with you fixing me. Minion."

I sigh before replying "That would be easy if I still had the proper equipment but a certain somebody broke them. Also I have a name you know."

"As if I cared, now get working minion."

"It's Maxus Starge, now it's gonna take some time to repair it all."

"Then I should be heading outside then to test the limits of this new body." He started to walk away before I interject.

"Wait, your body still have those kinks that need to be worked out!"

"A king never sleeps when retaking their throne. Your equipment better be fixed by the time I get back." The monster quickly exits the room leaving me alone in my laboratory once again. I put my hand in my scruffy brown hair while I sigh in frustration before getting to work on fixing my equipment.

How the hell did I get myself into this crap?

Okay so my face is starting to feel a little better now so lets see what I have in the trivia list *searches through my mess of a desk* aha there you are, now lets see.

Trivia of the day:

I originally wanted Maxus to be the generic mad-scientist that was quickly killed after meeting Batearis in the original draft of the story but I decided to have him the way he is now so that Batearis can have a way to evolve and be a source for future development for the fallen king. Plus I have a lot of funny ideas for their interactions.

With the trivia done I hope that you fellow readers and writers have a nice day or night wherever you may be.
