-Lady Protecta out!
When the light faded, Violet looked around wildly. She coughed. Lassie "the spirit wolf" appeared in front of her.
"Are you alright, Violet?"
"Y-yes…where's Brainy?" She felt scared. She stood up, nearly losing her balance from being thrown around too much. She searched for the robot boy but the dust clouds hidden him and his mother.
Another figure walked towards them.
"Brainiac4.0, what have you done with him?" she growled.
The Coluan woman stared into her soul. "Tell me from your perspective why my son had helped you, human," her metallic voice felt cold as ice itself.
"Vi!"
Jordan came running though the smoke; apparently time had unfrozen him too. His skidded to a halt when he saw the lady that stood before Vi and Lassie. He slowly ran to Vi and his older comrade put and arm around him protecting him from this person.
"V-Violet, who is she?"
"Brainy's mom, apparently."
"Brainy's m-mom?"
Violet glared at the Coluan. "The reason why because he followed his heart. I am one of his good friends who had lost her memories during a battle that I do not remember. He stood by me and saved me time and time again," her voice trembled.
"Well said answer… but that's not the correct one!" Brainiac4.0 charged at her, a laser like drill formed in her right hand. It was only inches to Vi's pale face when she had stopped it with her own hands, her face looked determined. The Coluan woman struggled but could not break Vi's hold. She yanked her arm back and vanished into thin air. Lassie knew that she just turned herself in invisible so she could ambush the young girl.
Lassie growled and the spirit wolf's energy flared from within her metallic body. She pounced on the invisible figure and thrown her to the ground.
"Enough!" she barked.
Brainiac4.0 threw her off and charged at Vi once again. Jordan tried to protect her by becoming a monkey and leaping onto the robot's face but was yanked off and thrown to the side.
Violet stood her ground. She wasn't going run now. Brainiac4's hand became a laser sword and she ran at Vi like a mad man er…woman.
Vi jumped out of the way. Brainy's mother turned and wildly slashed at Vi only to watch her dodge every time. But soon dodging wasn't going to help her. The sword swung near her feet causing the Imskan to trip and fall. As the sword came down towards her face, Vi rolled out of the way and onto her feet as rocks and dirt flew everywhere. She drew back her fist and punched Brainiac4 in the stomach.
Brainiac4 doubled over in pain but regained her posture. She swung at Vi again only to find her feet meeting Vi's foot. She fell down again and breathed heavily.
"Leave…Brainy…alone," was all her opponent said when she had spotted something near the creek. Vi, Lassie and Jordan ran over and found Brainy lying in the water , faced down.
"Brainy!" Jordan cried. Vi held his body in her arms. She began to fiddle around in her pack for the mini machine that loaded all of Brainy's backup files into him.
"Give it to me, I got another backup chip from him before we entered Imsk's atmosphere," Jordan said. Vi handed it to him and he loaded the chip into the machine. He then connected the wires to Brainy's forehead and another to his chest.
"Loading process beginning now," said the machine's voice. It seemed to be as slow as the real machine.
"96…97…98…99…100"
"Revival complete."
Brainy's eyes fluttered open to see those who he cared about around him. His head rested on Vi's lap.
"Are you o-ok?" Jordan asked.
"Hm? Yea I'm fine." Brainy gave a weak smile.
"You should have seen Vi, she kicked your mom's butt!"
The four looked up to see Brainiac4 standing there, her hands at her sides. Jordan looked he was ready to fight her again, but Lassie stopped him. "Do not fight, child. I do believe that she understands now,"her voice whispered. The Durlan nodded but still stood in a ready position.
The woman began to speak. "Indeed, I am starting to see through my son's eyes. I may not fully understand why he broke away from his people in hopes of this dream. But I can see why he has adapted to being with others." At the last word, she smiled. For some odd reason she began to act like a human more than a robot. Just like Brainy.
"I am truly sorry, Querl."
Time began to move again and Uncle Jorge rushed out. "What in blazes is going on-" he stopped in mid-sentence when he looked around.
"Did I miss something?"
"Uh…yup you missed a lot of things." Jordan piped up.
"I-it was my fault, sir. Really." Brainiac4 spoke up. She had explained everything as Jordan and Vi had helped Brainy up.
"Erm… I still don't get it madam but you're free to stay, do you want any coffee? My wife makes a good batch of coffee," Uncle Jorge said, scratching his head.
"Yes certainly." Brainiac4 turned to look at Violet. "I believe you earned these, young lady." She handed her a box. Vi opened it and saw 6 more shards.
"Thank you," she cried, hugging her. Brainy rolled his eyes. His mother looked at him with a serious expression on her face.
"As for you young man," she began to say, "You best wash up. And after that I want you to help Mr. Digsby out."
"MOM!" Brainy yelled, blushing.
"Don't Mom me, Querl Dox! After that I want you to …" Brainiac4 started to act just like a mother. She didn't care if her son was a hero, he still need to do some chores, and was to help out with the Digsbys. Jordan stood there and howled with laughter.
Vi walked with Lassie. "So why did she call me, Salu?" she asked quietly.
"It's your real name. Your birth name. Well one of your birth names, my child," Lassie answered.
"Really? I mean I don't remember anything."
"You will understand when you receive your last shard, Violet."
"When will that be?"
"In time…" Lassie stopped and wagged her tail.
Vi looked at the sun slowly setting in the distance. When? When will she find her last memory? When will she find out who she truly is? All she knew was that she was placed on this journey to find herself again. She walked toward a wooden swing that hung from a great tree. It was her swing when she was a child but she didn't know that.
She swung back and forth, reflecting on all of her adventures she currently remembered.
Waking up to see this boy who she had never met before…
Finding out her name…
Receiving her quest…
Almost being killed by her friend…
Getting captured on Colu and nearly being deleted…
Being attacked by Brainy's mom…
Receiving her second to last shard...
Hoping to find her last shard…
"Hey."
Violet turned around and saw Brainy leaning against the tree's trunk. Lassie had gone home already.
"Hi…" she said.
"I was done with my chores , finally. Sorry, I found out that my mom is acts just like a real mom. How should I put it? Oh yeah…a crazy neat freak."
Vi giggled.
"I thought that she was kinda cool, Brainy," she whispered.
"Yeah…I guess its alright that I have a mom. Wish I knew who my dad was."
Vi's smile turned into a frown. "I still need to find the last shard."
"I checked the map, its no where to be found, Vi."
"I know, all the spirit wolf said that it will be found in time…"
"I know. I also wanted to inform you that Cosmic Boy wants us to go back to the ship soon."
"Ok." Vi hoped to find the last shard but it would have to wait. Perhaps she would find it soon, wherever it may be. She got up and followed Brainy back to the farm as the sun set behind them.
