Arc 5: Avengers, Part 1
Author`s notes: This happens in May 2050. This is a pretty interesting Arc, as it begins very roughly and integrates probably the longest appearance of the girls. It is also of a great importance for later on; however I had some troubles writing it, as I soon felt like I was going either too fast or too slowly, and this on many times; however the result, as of now, is a-okay. Read and have fun, and don`t forget to leave a review!
While this arc is being written, I want the review count to rise to 15 before I post the next arc. You have plenty of time. Arc 5 is three chapters long; I have to write those three chapters before I work on Arc 6. That`s why I want the review count to rise to 15. I repeat: fifteen, 15. Pretty please?
A voice pierced through the dark night surrounding the lost island. The crazed human, holding a multicolored spherical stone like a trophy high over his head, was already claiming victory.
"NO ONE CAN STOP APOCALYPSENIOR!" The man yelled like a dictator. He had wrinkles, a twitching eye, and a mouth forming an evil grin after this yell of victory. He was wearing most unusual clothing with a shirt claiming the existence of extraterrestrials and a pair of jeans with holes.
"We`ll see that!" another guy said. He was wearing normal jeans, but his shirt was red with a yellow, smiling face on the left, on the front, near the shoulder. "Kevin`s here to stop ya!" he yelled and attacked. However, the man self-proclaiming himself Apocalypsenior used the strange stone like a weapon-shield that blasted Kevin away without harming the teenager.
Michael looked at Batara. "Reassure me. You have a plan against that crazed guy?"
Batara had already speed-dialed on his affairs cell phone the number of the E.A.S.E. "Yes. The reinforcements are coming. Hopefully we`ll get that sick-o back on the right track." However, none of them could speak more as two tall figures stopped them.
"Where do you think you two are going?"
"Our leader is going to stop you!"
The two very odd-looking characters wore a spacesuit-like black outfit that stuck to their body. They also had some fluorescent green-colored oval protectors on their shoulders, their knees and their elbows. They also wore gloves over their strange hands and boots that looked like from outer space. The only other place that was fluo-green was their pelvis` protector, which was a triangular-shaped metallic object. Some kind of beginning of armor. The last thing strange about them was that their heads were totally covered by a helmet of some kind. It fully covered their heads, and it was impossible to see though. We could not even see the eyes. There was only a small circular hole where the mouth should be. And yet, no mouth was visible by this hole either. Batara recognized these masks as they resembled those worn by an extraterrestrial species in a very old science-fiction series.
"Stop right dead here, the weirdos!" One of them claimed.
"Weirdo?" Michael asked. "If someone is a weirdo, well it`s you!" And the blonde teenager was grabbed by the pale blue shirt and smashed on a nearby statue.
Batara could hardly believe what he was seeing. To think all that had begun with the discovery of a ship somewhere in Nevada recently, and finally it ended up into an all-out fight against this man, his "friends" and his newfound weapon.
Kevin retried what he was doing, only to be thrown back again, and onto another of those tall statues called Moai. Just WHY were they on Easter Island? It made no sense at all. And no matter how much Batara would explain in great details, Kevin only understood that there was a crazy man who had found a ship containing a weapon and two bizarre beings inside.
Holding the sphere high over his head, Apocalypsenior began mumbling something and suddenly he was rising from the ground. He was floating. Was it one of the many powers of this stone? "Hand my head, drown my fear, until you all just disappear!" the man yelled, and an energy beam blasted from the stone. It struck Kevin, but it bounced off the teenager and hit Apocalypsenior back. "How?"
Kevin`s pupils had already turned red. Plus he could see a blue aura around him. That`s it, his power had come back. The same power he used against Despair, and more recently against a falling cannonball.
During that time, Michael and Batara were struggling against the two strange characters wearing masks. Thy were underpowered in front of those two bizarre people. But they left the fight suddenly as their master called them.
"End-of-World! Armageddon! Get me rid of that pesky red-shirt teenager!" Apocalypsenior yelled.
Batara smirked. "Apocalypsenior is really focused on destroying the world, isn`t he? The three names refer to this kind of thing," he whispered to Michael.
"I know! That guy is sick."
End-of-World and Armageddon attacked Kevin, who turned around and attacked back. Kevin struck Armageddon with a good punch at the chest. However, End-of-World was aiming at Kevin from behind, and already running at the teenager. In a fraction of a second, Kevin turned around, threw End-of-World over his shoulder in a great judo move, and the two accomplices hit each other and fell on the ground. Kevin approached them and got ready to deliver a final blow, a finishing move, when Batara yelled at him.
"Kevin! The real enemy is there!" Batara yelled, pointing at Apocalypsenior.
Kevin turned to the strange old man, and prepared for an attack against the one who had begun all that. However, he did not have time to do more as a spaceship flew over Easter Island and landed, throwing Kevin, Apocalypsenior, Michael and Batara on the ground, and making the sphere shatter into six pieces.
The panel opened and revealed another being, which resembled a lot to End-of-World and Armageddon. The mask was very similar; however it has two large spikes, like horns, pointing to the back. End-of-World and Armageddon recognized this being, as it was their leader.
"Leader Kalim!" they yelled in unison.
"Kalim?" Batara wondered. "I have already heard this name somewhere..." he thought.
The one named Kalim walked toward Apocalypsenior, pulled out a strange-looking device that reminded of a gun, and shot the old man right at the heart. The conspirator died instantly, as the weapon`s ray had pierced through him and through his vital organ.
"That`s what you get, old man, for stealing technology you cannot control yourself," the thing said, putting back the gun-like device on himself. "Himself", because the voice sounded male, even though it had nothing human.
Batara looked in amazement to what had happened. "Um... thanks?" Batara tried.
"Thanks? Thanks?" Kalim answered, raising his own volume at each word. "Don`t say thanks for this. This is pitiful," he said, pointing to the dead corpse of Apocalypsenior.
"But... you killed him!" Michael replied. "Won`t you be in trouble or something?"
"In trouble?" the person said behind his mask. "We can`t get in trouble under your laws, you know. We are anything but human."
That`s when Batara understood. "You are extraterrestrials, is that it? I suppose those two are as well?"
Kalim looked at End-of-World and Armageddon. "Yes, they are." To prove it, he removed one of Armageddon`s gloves – the hand`s palm was green and covered with small scales, and the five fingers had short nails that were shaped like claws, even though they were too short to be. Kalim grabbed End-of-World and Armageddon, and packed them in his ship. "Those two have been infected by your culture, your Earth life and their master`s "beliefs"." Kalim grabbed each piece of the sphere and also packed them inside his ship.
Kevin couldn`t believe what was going on. Extraterrestrials really existed? Wow, that was very strange.
Kalim looked at them again. "Pitiful humans."
"Hey! Watch out with the words, or we`ll pay double!" Kevin yelled and he ran to Kalim, who simply pushed him back.
"Listen, you three. You are the only ones who know what happened. You are among the rare humans who know we are here. What I did today is... a favor. You wouldn`t understand why, and we won`t tell you either. I`ll go hide these pieces to avoid anyone can take them all again and cause havoc all around your blue planet."
"Um... got it," Batara said, though he had no idea what was going on.
Kalim embarked in his own ship, and the strange vehicle flew away from view.
"Well, time to go home," Batara told his friends. "Your parents must be worried sick."
Life had slowly come back to normal four days after this very strange evening. Kevin seemingly felt more and more suspicious about Kathy. He felt lucky she was not in his class, or else he would really have felt like being spied on. The truth is that ever since their duo mission inside the God of Robots, Kathy had grown likely to know this strange Kevin Kartner more… she was eager to know more about this teenager, not a bright light yet a hero… but she was more than anything surprised by that teenager's abilities. It looks as if Kevin could get a superhuman strength when in great danger.
That Thursday, Kathy came out of the school bus she uses to get to school every weekly morning, and met up with Michelle there. They both headed up inside Sainte-Esperance High School. While the morning was quite normal for both girls, things worsened during lunch.
Kathy grabbed her lunchbox and opened it. "Great, more salad sandwich with ramen and a bottle of water. What do you have in your lunchbox Michelle?"
"Not much actually," the blonde-haired girl replied, "just the usual stuff. A TV dinner to heat up in the microwave, a grape juice and a yogurt."
"I trade the ramen for the yogurt," Kathy bargained.
"You crazy?" Michelle replied. "It's not like I am going to let you have my only dessert of the day!" Then, seeing Kathy wasn't listening anymore: "Where are you looking at?" Michelle followed her friend's vision and saw she was looking at Kevin, who was in the waiting line to finally enter the cafeteria's kitchens and pick his lunch meal.
"He's pretty cool isn't he?" the brown-haired ponytailed girl said, taking a bite on her salad sandwich.
"Kevin?" Michelle asked. "He's forever wearing the same red shirt with a smiley. Plus it's a long-sleeved shirt. Isn't it hot by this time of the year?" The blonde girl stopped to look at Michael. "Him, however… he's more my style."
Kathy nearly choked on her bite. "Michael?" She laughed. "With his beige shorts and his pale blue shirt? He's got a few too many pounds too, hasn't he?"
"Yeah, but he's Aryan, which means he can't be bad."
Kathy sipped on her water bottle. "Yeah, right. No matter how heroic this Michael may be, I bet he will never reach Kevin in terms of coolness. Besides, I think I remember him last year or the year before… or two years ago… he was threatened by these brainless jerks," Kathy finished, pointing at Calvin's table. This made the two girls laugh.
"Yeah, they are pretty brain-dead," Michelle said. "That Calvin is an idiot; I can't believe he is doing intimidation and racket." She peeked at the brute's table. Calvin, still wearing his headband, had unleashed a belch worthy to be the school's record, and his friends were laughing at this feat.
"They are total idiots, not like Kevin…" Kathy said, almost daydreaming.
"…and Michael…" Michelle replied, which made Kathy laugh again. But Kathy did not have time to reply as the said boys were coming to a table with their plates.
Kevin looked around. "Oh great, no more places."
Michael saw an empty table, but it was right next to their female doppelgangers. "Why not there?" he asked.
"I don't want to spend a whole lunchtime close to two girls who are spying on me and laughing with such a high pitched voice that it breaks my ears."
"…eardrums," Michael corrected.
"Whatever. Ah, and whatever for the table too, let's go." Kevin approached the table but took the seat farthest to Kathy. Michael took a seat closer to Michelle however.
The girls quit chatting about the boys while the boys only talked about yesterday's hockey game's results and extreme hoverboarding, and most of all not talking about love nor romance.
The rest of the afternoon went slow for the guys. It was so boring! Kevin spent almost half of it yawning. Of course Michael, who sat close because of a school project in the making, was there to shake his friend up when he was drifting to sleep. The girls also found their own classes boring; was it really useful to know about history in the third century B.D.? Boredom was on both sides, but it may have been because of an expected free day tomorrow. It turned out they had no school this Friday, which is something that happens very often in Quebec in middle school and high school.
Finally the bell rang, giving them a reason to leave. Kevin and Michael left their things in their lockers and hurried outside and toward the school buses.
The next day was supposed to be calm. It could have been; Michael was typing up ideas for a novel, or for a fanfiction, and Kevin had plans to do some aerial tricks with his Hoverboard. However, both their phones rang at a few minutes of interval. It was Batara. The phone first rang at Kevin`s.
"Kev, I need your help, and fast!"
"What`s the big deal, Batara? I am in break right now."
"You`ll rest later, I need a hero. Seriously, Kevin, we are in big trouble."
"What`s the big deal again? We can win against everything!"
Batara sighed. "Listen… it`s terrible at the E.A.S.E. William is freaked out because six boarders of the Maximum Security Monster Jail have escaped."
"Oh no…" Kevin said.
"Yep. Luckily, William Wong integrates trackers in the robotic boarders to ensure scientists can find them again when they escape. He needs our help for this. Oh, and he also needs to know who could have done that."
"Okay, I`m coming!" Kevin said, hanging up the phone, and he ran out to tell Michael. Just as Kevin had climbed up the small staircase leading to Michael`s house`s front door, the blonde teenager was coming out, in his usual attire. The two simply nodded in a way meaning "let`s go" and left on their bicycles toward Batara`s place.
They arrived fifteen minutes later. Batara hurried outside; Fastos was already outside, seemingly not knowing about the great "danger" Batara was talking about. The grasshopper robot was cleaning up the windows while humming a tune, although it was not really humming, rather making a sound that looked like humming.
"Guys, there is a great danger!" he yelled.
"We know, we know…" Michael said. "You told me that trice."
"You said what, four or five who escaped?"
"Six robots, Kevin. Among them… Despair."
"WHAT?" Kevin and Michael yelled. They remembered only too well that Despair. The robot with fourteen arms, fourteen weapons, and a danger rating of fourteen on ten.
Kevin had finally beaten that behemoth thanks to a weird ability that had not been seen on any other human then. Even though the three guys were not really asking themselves questions about that detail, it sure was strange. It had happened again six months later, when Kevin created a magical shield to destroy the huge cannonball that was coming crashing on the God of Robots and possibly destroying a huge area of the continent. Kathy was the only one that had seen this second sudden apparition of a supernatural strength in Kevin, but she probably thought she was hallucinating.
"Not only that," Batara said. "Sorrow, Anger and Terror also escaped."
"Who?" Michael asked. He had never heard of them.
"You remember when I said I had built three brothers for Despair? Well that was true. After they were built, I sent them to the E.A.S.E.'s Maximum Security Monster Jail along with their leader Despair. I was crazy, you know. Why build robots if they were to be locked up for life right after?" Batara asked.
"So you named the three robots in a similar manner to Despair, and that`s how Anger, Fear and Sadness are named now."
Batara corrected his friend. "No! Sorrow, Anger and Terror. Plus, much like Despair being a master of cold steel weapons, they all have a field of competence. Sorrow has old-school weapons, Terror has guns, and Anger has strange weapons."
"Weird…" Kevin said. "Wait, how many weapons in total now?"
"Well, fourteen plus ten plus eight plus seven… Thirty-nine," Batara calculated.
"THIRTY-NINE?" Both teenagers yelled.
"However, only Despair has the rolling ability," Batara tried to reassure them. As if this was going to reassure them.
However, soon, Kevin felt spied on. He turned around to a great tree on Batara`s front lawn. "Who`s there?"
"Nobody!" a girl voice said from behind.
"Well, if there`s nobody, I wonder why I asked…" Kevin said, as his two friends face-palmed.
Batara went there and looked behind to see Kathy. "What are you doing here, young lady?"
Kevin and Michael approached. "Kathy?" Kevin said. "You are spying on us!"
Kathy looked down. "Don't suspect someone of things that were not planned at first." She came out in the light. "Listen, I was calmly reading in the park when I saw you two zoom in front of it with your bikes. You had a weird look on the face, and you were too hurried to look around. So I grabbed my bicycle and followed you, in case I could help."
Kevin pffted. "Yeah, right. Got any proof of what you are saying?" Kevin had barely ended the last word that Kathy was holding The Picture of Dorian Gray, proving not only she was reading, but also what she was reading. Her own bicycle was also resting on the tree she was hiding behind of.
Batara shook his head. "Sorry, young lady, but the reason I called Kevin and Michael for concerns them and them only. They are the only ones who have to know what is going on and what we will do."
"Or else?" Kathy said. Then she remembered. "Oh, mister Byzlack! I remember you from the great fiasco in January. Good work in making the tallest and most dangerous robot ever," she said with irony.
"Listen, young lady, for one I thought it was danger-proof, but one of my enemies took control of it. It is in no way because of me."
Kathy smirked. "Yeah? Who was the architect, the designer, the leading brain of the project?"
Batara sighed. "Okay, if you want so much to know about it, then come in with us." Fastos opened the door for the four of them, but Kathy couldn't help but glance at the grand grasshopper robot, thinking that it was a pretty cool creation. Fastos entered after the four humans.
"So, mister Byzlack… what`s the big deal?" Kathy said in a manner similar to Kevin`s some time ago. Batara explained everything to her, at the same time explaining about the E.A.S.E. and the robots. "Okay… that`s too weird for me. Bye," she said, walking to the exit.
"Wait, Kathy!" Michael said. "If those six robots are left out in the wild, we will need a lot of help. We are only three after all. Please…"
Kathy thought about it for some long seconds. "You are all persistent. I guess that you`ll force me into helping you?"
"No!" Batara said, "But you should really help us. I know the Girl Trio can be helpful in this."
"Fine… I`ll call them." Kathy took her cell phone out and called Michelle and Bertha. "Hi! How`s it doing? …Sure, I`ll go in multi-call with Bertha okay? … …Okay, Bertha? …Yes, I need your help. …I`m at Batara Byzlack`s house… Okay, here is the address…" and she gave them the address.
Fifteen minutes later, the teenage girl and the woman were at Batara`s. Kathy welcomed them, and Batara invited them in, even though he was not used to having so much people in his house. In a few minutes, the situation was explained. This scared the two girls.
"What we will do? We have no talent whatsoever. We are girls, not quarterbacks or muscles!" Bertha said.
"Call Calvin the Idiot for that," Michelle said jokingly.
"It`s not time to joke, girls!" Michael said. "Six robots have escaped. But we are only half that number. We need you!"
"I suppose you need us at the E.A.S.E.?" Bertha said, smirking.
Batara stood in shock. "You three? To the E.A.S.E.? Better ask me to create a pink elephant or a peppermint tree!" Batara said, laughing. "No, seriously, that`s impossible. The code of the E.A.S.E. doesn`t allow anyone from the S.I.M.P.L.E. to visit the E.A.S.E. until they finally make a discovery worth it and deserve their place there."
Kathy looked at Kevin and Michael. "And them… have they seen it?"
Now Batara`s brain hamster was racing full-speed to find a reason. "Um… uh… Well… they are my friends. They were… guests. They were not even close to be scientists or anything, only guests. Bertha is too close for this, and she might discover the secrets we hold…"
"That`s not fair!" Michelle yelled, entering Kathy`s game. "If they could go there as guests, why couldn`t we? After all, right now Bertha isn`t a S.I.M.P.L.E. scientist, she is the everyday woman who happens to be our friend!"
Batara sighed. "Fine… I`ll call mister Shigemoto." Batara took out his affairs cell phone and speed-dialed Miyaru Shigemoto`s affairs cell phone number. He waited some minutes, some painful minutes, until it answered. "…Hi mister Shigemoto. I have something of great favor to ask you. …I know, it is a time of crisis, but what I want to ask you has something to do with this." Batara explained the situation to his superior. He only got a vague answer as Miyaru Shigemoto could not decide whether the three girls could come, after all they had nothing to do there… he reticently accepted. "Goodbye, see you in a few hours." He turned off his cell phone. "Okay, you three can come. But we will really have a lack of space in my jet…" he glanced at Bertha`s rounder belly, although the woman understood.
"Hey! Do not laugh about this, Batara," Bertha said. "Would you like that if I called you Dwarfara?"
Batara grumbled. "No." That last comment reminded him of Oranic who had a lot of fun calling the short scientist by this stupid nickname. "Okay, get in the jet. I think we can make some space in there."
Batara led them to his laboratory and opened the door to it, revealing his most secret rooms to the three girls. By pressing a secret button, he opened the underground hangar, revealing the jet, which was indeed quite small. It was not easy for them all to fit there, but they finally succeeded. Batara turned the machine on, the ceiling (Batara`s backyard) opened, and the jet left toward the E.A.S.E. Tower.
The gang arrived at the E.A.S.E. three hours later; the four teenagers watched a movie during that time. Bertha discussed with Batara, although he would never reveal a thing about the E.A.S.E.`s secrets or a way to climb the ladder and finally reach the organization's level. The surprise was greater for the 31yo woman when she finally saw the grand tower resting on an island in the ocean. The jet landed carefully in the E.A.S.E.`s hangar, and the door opened for the six people to get out. Batara led them out of the hangar, through the peaceful synthetic fake forest of the island, then toward the grand park with large fields of grass, although it is as synthetic as the forest, and finally they reached the E.A.S.E. Batara put his palm on the fingerprint reader and the doors opened, letting them in. By the biggest of luck, Veronica and Hyeronimus were already there. William Wong was sitting on a chair close to them.
"Hi there!" Batara said, recognizing them.
"Hello Batara!" Veronica said. Hyeronimus only waved a hello. "It`s a total mess here. No one else is here; they are all searching around the planet for those six runaway robots."
"But why exactly did Miyaru called me here for this work?" Batara asked. "It`s the only thing I can`t explain. Along with who freed the six robots."
"It`s really simple," William said. "Four of the six robots have been created by you. Despair, Sorrow, Anger and Terror all escaped, along with two robots who were new boarders since only two months; residents of Japan, I think you know who I`m talking about."
Michael knew. "You mean… the Rhondas? Impossible, I electrocuted them to death."
William smirked. "You know, when they were brought here, they were rebuilt on the demand of Donarudo. He wanted them intact. He of course wanted them to have an all-new A.I. card in their robot brains so they`d forget about their murderous ideas. Sadly, looks like someone freed them."
Bertha was amazed at everything; all those desks, all representing a country and all counting a certain number of chairs for the number of E.A.S.E. scientists by country… this high ceiling that also happened to be a spread-out map of the world, a geographically accurate unfolded plan of Earth. Bertha could not believe it, it was… no word could describe this feeling. It was her first time inside the E.A.S.E. and she now hoped more than ever to finally find her place here…
Kathy and Michelle couldn`t believe it either. It was a wonderful place. Some kind of utopia? No, impossible. This piece of land probably had secrets; after all, Kathy heard Batara chat with Bertha on the trip. He kept his mouth shut on certain details. That meant this place wasn`t clean of all crimes… but said crimes probably were not going to be revealed anytime soon. Michelle didn't believe it either. It was so cool. That place was huge too!
There was a spiraling staircase climbing up and leading to the higher floors. However, they were needed on the conference floor, and considering the situation, it wasn`t time to spend energy on climbing a set of stairs. An escalator was placed near them, so they took it for a speedier rising to the conferences floor. The Trio, their three girl followers, William, Veronica and Hyeronimus got in and Batara selected the conferences floor. Kevin noticed Veronica had a name tag saying "Veronica Vallieres", and told it to Batara.
"Ah? Oops, my bad. Sorry, I forgot her family name the other time, but now it`s fine."
The escalator stopped on the conferences floor and opened its doors, letting the nine people out. Batara led them to the biggest room. Miyaru Shigemoto was already waiting there. They all took a seat, and Miyaru explained the situation. Everyone listened to the Eldest.
"The six robots who escaped the Maximum Security Monster Jail are…" He turned on a projector and showed a picture of each robot as he was naming them. "…Despair… Sorrow… Anger… Terror… R3… and ROMIS. As you probably already guessed, four of these robots are walking weapons. They have a total of thirty-nine weapons, which make them quite… invincible if they fight together. Let`s say a knight in Medieval armor wouldn`t survive very long even with his protection. As for the two others, R3 and ROMIS are, or rather were two robots who aimed to ruin the Rhonda Company but apparently stumbled on Michael Marchand, who electrocuted them after a series of trial and error in which he successfully destroyed their entire "family". We also know that the Despair Brothers are not related in any way to the two Rhondas, we only suppose that they have all been freed for the same motive."
"All freed? Wait…" Michelle began. She hadn`t said much yet, but she was trying to, now. "…doesn`t that mean someone has helped them?"
"It is the case, sadly," Miyaru Shigemoto said. "But I give the spot to William Wong, the security operator. He is the one who found out about the disappearance."
Kevin, Michael and Batara were used to all this action. It was not the first time they had problems with robots; it was rather the fourth time. However, Kathy, Michelle and Bertha were scared now. They were really wondering what they had been thrown into. Veronica Vallieres and Hyeronimus Hetmann were also very surprised by what was going on; this case was anything but normal.
"Thanks, boss," William said, taking a seat near the projector. "Many clues have led me to believe it is a scientist of the E.A.S.E. who freed the six robots, and probably not for any good motive. And not any; someone who knew of those six robots and also of their abilities. Also, I found a strange liquid 0n the crime scene… after our leader, Miyaru Shigemoto, analyzed it, we found out it was the regenerating potion used by Carlos Cyrano, AKA Oranic, to gain the strength of his twenties."
"Great," Batara mumbled. "I KNEW it had to be Oranic`s doing. But why?"
"Apparently… the reason is this," William said, as the projected image changed to the sphere the Trio had seen the weekend before.
"That`s… that`s the sphere used by Apocalypsenior a week ago!" Michael said, and the girls thought this was a pretty strange thing he just mentioned.
"Well, apparently Apocalypsenior was hoping to destroy the world or cause terror on the many continents thanks to this strange sphere. Apparently, it has the power to disrupt the balance of nature and cause disasters around the world. It is alien technology, so it is an extremely advanced technology; thus we still haven`t found out how this sphere changes the atmosphere and causes disasters; however, its instructions are very simple. The only thing I don`t understand is that it understands the English language," Mr. Shigemoto resumed.
"…Wait…"Michael said. "After our short battle on Easter Island, that alien who grabbed the Sphere…"
"Are you sure it was an alien?" Hyeronimus asked. "I know they exist, but why would one even bother to visit Earth?"
"…" Michael thought, speechless by the logical reasoning brought by Hyeronimus. "…whatever, if they weren`t, then the disguise was successful, and the flying machines were also quite alien-like. But why were they speaking English then?"
"See?" Hyeronimus refuted. "It must have been a human playing a trick."
"Ateention people!" William yelled, bringing their attention back to him. "For what we know, the six pieces of this powerful weapon have all been hidden in caves around the world, in hopes nobody would ever find them again. I think Oranic hopes to get them all thanks to the robots and then use this weapon to finally take control of the planet."
"…Imagine if he was able to control the nature!" Batara said. "He would throw disasters toward the great governments, terrorizing them and making thousands of victims, and he would ask for supreme power. The world would be his!"
"That is, if he does not destroy the world first with this technology…" Miyaru Shigemoto said.
"What is the plan exactly?" Veronica asked.
"Well…
"William began. "Since they are all robots, one thing can be very useful in stopping them, and Batara should know what."
"You mean the Debug Laser?" Batara asked, showing one.
"Yes… a direct laser to those robots` heads and they will be unable to do a thing, which means we can bring them back here and lock them up. However, since they are all on a different continent, it may be possible that they go through their task already. So, to make sure we catch them on time, we will all leave for one location. Here are the teams: Kevin with that teenage ponytailed girl, Michael with the blonde short-haired teenage girl, Batara with the tall woman, Veronica alone, Hyeronimus alone, and I`ll go myself on another location."
"But… how will we do to retrace those pieces? We have no idea where it is, and so we can`t know where to search for them!" Michelle said, using her logic.
"That`s when one machine comes in handy," Miyaru Shigemoto said. "A scientist, some years ago, after we discovered the existence of extraterrestrials, has created a machine that is able to connect with all the satellites to get a whole picture of Earth. However, this machine`s main ability is to find any metal that is not known on Earth. If those six pieces, all for the same sphere of alien technology, is made with materials that have never been seen on Earth, it is possible to retrace them and we will know where they are."
"Then, what are we waiting for?" Hyeronimus asked. "Let`s go!"
To be continued…
Author`s notes: Sorry for finishing this so easily, I had problems finding an end. I`m a week late in my writing, but that`s mostly because of my parents always asking me to get off the computer. I am forever busy on three thousand things (almost not exaggerating) and thus my writing suffers. However, I am proud to announce that the next chapter will also be the hundredth page on Word!
Read you soon!
