Chapter 10
Eva had been brought to where Salazar was kept and rushed to his side after breaking free from her restraints.
The guards that were escorting her had raised their guns and cocked their weapons.
"Put your guns down she isn't a threat," Betty Director said with a commanding tone.
Eva looked over Salazar's body and noticed his systems were mostly intact just some of his parts were melted and broken. She could potentially fix him and reboot him with no memory loss. She wanted to rush out with him in her arms because she knew it was a matter of time before she was found.
"Alright, I see this is actually Salazar and he is worth retrieving. I shall give you the coordinates to my creator's hideout but in return I want to leave with Salazar and not be hunted down by your agents."
Betty noticed Vivian rush to her side afraid of the android in the room and was glad she didn't run to one of the guards instead. She tried thinking about the deal and wasn't sure if she could trust an android.
"Seeing as you didn't just kill us all and take him I have to put a bit of trust in you. If you give us the real location of Dr. Lunkovitz then you have my word that you will be left to your own devices. If you double cross us then I can make no guarantees."
Eva knew this was her only chance, "He is located at…"

Kim was laying her head on Shego's lap while she was doing her homework. She didn't mind Shego playing with her hair in the least but hated it when Shego's hands wandered to other parts of her body.
Shego was enjoying teasing her princess especially after she found out Kim could purr. Something about the red head purring made Shego hot.
"Shego, can you not grope me while I do homework. I can't graduate if I don't get this stuff done."
Shego growled a bit, "Well excuse me for trying to keep myself entertained while you do boring stuff. Plus why are you still in school when you're smarter than everyone there."
Kim sighed, "Look school is important to me, I know this time we have is limited but I have already missed a lot of classes and if I want to keep my grades up then I have to at least do the work while my school allows me to be out."
Shego sucked her teeth and pinched Kim's nipple before sticking her tongue out. She was grateful though that they didn't just make out all day or things could have gotten out of hand.
Kim looked at Shego in shock before giggling at how immature she was acting. "Remind me to make you upset more," She said with a wink.
Shego looked at the blue sky above and felt a tear drop from her eye. She hadn't been able to forgive herself after she visited Drakken's mother and told her the bad news. She sort of didn't want to believe the idiot would have just died like that and yet he did.
"Kim…" Shego said softly while looking away.
Kim could sense Shego's pain and put her unfinished homework aside. She got up and grabbed Shego's hand pulling her up.
"This time let me be the one to be strong for you," She said as she pulled Shego into a hug and let her cry a bit.
Shego hated herself for crying but at the same time she got confirmation that Kim would be there for her in her time of need.

"He's here…" Eva said while retrieving her beloved Salazar's body. She had given the coordinates to GJ and was given permission to leave with Salazar.
Betty was going to give an order for her men to search the place the location entailed but stopped when she heard Eva speak with such fear.
"Who's here?" Betty asked confused.
Eva looked at Betty as she shook in fear, "Wunderkind."
Betty spoke on the radio and alerted her agents and the guards that there was a code red. "I repeat a Code Red, Wunderkind is in the area. If seen shoot to kill."
{KiGo}
Wunderkind was met with a lot of resistance. He looked at the sheer number of men with guns and they all were pointing them at him. He calculated the optimal path to take in this battle and when his supercomputer like brain finished calculating in a fraction of a second he began his assault.
He saw the first wave of bullets and shells exit the guns and during that time he managed to dodge most bullets while closing in on his foes. He kicked one the armed men's gun into the air and followed it backflip off the guy's chest and landing with the gun in his hand.
"Too easy," He said while he sprayed down the opposition with one of their weapons.
He finished killing the last guy in the first group and tossed the gun aside. He wanted more of a challenge and was hoping there was one inside the building.
{KiGo}
Dr. Director's eyes went wide when one of the agents inside the lobby reported the loss of men from the first battle with Wunderkind. Just as he finished reporting the radio line went to static.
"It seems he got inside and is now making a mess of things. Eva I understand you're not in a rush to die but if we stand united we can have a chance of defeating him. I will sweeten the deal and provide you a comfy place to live for you and Salazar if you can help ward off Wunderkind."
Eva wanted to say no but looked at Salazar's body. She knew that if she repaired him and left she would still be hunted by Wunderkind and she knew Salazar wouldn't be able to fend off Wunderkind.
She decided to shake her fear of the psychotic android and be free of his grip forever.
"Alright, I shall help; let's hurry before he makes his way here. If he finds Salazar he will most likely destroy him."
Betty went after Eva leaving Vivian behind in the safest part of the lab. Since all the guards and agents were going to be battling Wunderkind it was up to Vivian to escape if none of them returned.
{KiGo}
Ron was meditating next to Yori and reflected on his life. He knew that he was happy with his choice but he still felt a little guilt about what he did. In the end he decided to let go of the guilt and focus on the good in his life.
He had Yori an amazing woman and ninja that loved him for some reason. He didn't know what attracted her to himself but he was definitely glad for it. He also had Kim as a friend even if they lived across the world from each other.
During his meditation he something ominous entered his mind. He couldn't quite understand what the darkness came from but he was certain it wasn't a sign of anything good to come.
{KiGo}
Vivian was looking at Salazar's body and a thought crossed her mind. She knew that with more allies the fight would be in their favor and while researching Salazar's specs she noticed that he had been given high mobility parts and a black box. She didn't know what it meant but she hoped that he could even the odds.
"Now if I can just repair him in time then maybe Betty won't die today."
{KiGo}
When Betty and Eva and the group of agents that were with them had made it to the lobby of the building they were greeted with the sight of Wunderkind finishing off the last agent that attempted to fight the savage android.
"Damn it, we didn't make it in time," Betty lamented in anger.
Wunderkind chuckled as he noticed the cavalry had arrived, "So Eva you carelessly rushed to your own death. I thought you would have run off with that weakling."
Eva kept her cool and waited for the moment to strike. She knew that Wunderkind was goading her into making a mistake since he didn't want to match blows.
Before Eva could respond Betty had done something that shocked Eva.
"Now!" Betty yelled before her men rushed into formation.
While Wunderkind was focused on them waiting for one to begin attacking he didn't anticipate Betty making a bold surprise attack.
Dr. Director had managed to land a powerful punch to the side of the android and before she could make another move she was sent flying by one of his kicks. She crash landed right outside the lobby and on hard concrete.
When Dr. Director was cleared from the path by the force of the kick the agents and armed guards had begun firing away rapidly at the target.
Wunderkind had grown bored of the Neanderthals and decided to not hold back anymore. His eyes started glowing red as he manually relinquished his limiter allowing him to be even more of a threat at a cost.
When Eva noticed his eyes go red she turned her ability on and copied his ability. Her body shifted a bit and her systems overloaded.
She rushed towards Wunderkind just as he was about to kill an agent and punched him across the face hard enough to send him through a window and followed immediately as he landed.
{KiGo}
Wunderkind got up immediately and countered the next attack Eva launched at him. He was surprised for the last time and wasn't going to allow any more sneak attacks on him. He put his cocky attitude aside and turned his battle spirit on.
Even with her increased power and speed she wasn't able to land any more attacks but in the same respect he couldn't land one either.
They continued their tireless battle as their overclocked systems were trying to handle the stress. Kick for kick, punch for punch they went after each other.
Wunderkind noticed the area had been blocked off and that only could mean he didn't kill the one eyed bitch. He didn't care if she lived because there was nothing on this planet capable of stopping him.
While battling with his sister Eva for five grueling minutes of clashing fist for fist and foot for foot he began hearing noises of aerial vehicles approaching his location.
He decided to take it up a notch and abuse his overload system enough to out speed his sister and land an unguarded blow on her sending her reeling unto the empty streets.
He ran up the side of a building until he was on the roof to scout for the source of the noises.
{KiGo}
Ann was sitting close to her new friend and was watching some TV while having light conversation. Just as the TV was getting to commercials an emergency broadcast had taken hold of the screen.
"This is an emergency warning, Middleton is under attack and law enforcements are recommending you stay inside and do not attempt to leave your home. This broadcast will keep you up to date with the situation as it goes on."
Ann felt the color drain from her face when she heard the news. Her sons were at the movies and they don't know what's going on.
Isabella noticed how silent Ann went and wanted to know what was wrong.
"Hey, Ann, are you alright what's going on?"
Ann merely shouted out, "My babies are at the movies and I can't lose them! I just can't lose another member of my family."
Isabella consoled the hysteric woman by holding her while whispering, "It's going to be alright, I promise they won't get hurt."
Ann wanted to believe her but how could she guarantee such a thing.
Before Ann could react Isabella simply stated, "You stay here and I'll go get them. Just tell me where they are and-"
Ann cut her off, "No! If you're going then I shall go with you."
{KiGo}
The helicopters had arrived to the area that Betty directed them to. They spotted the android on the roof and the pilots directed the men in the passenger area. "Alright men you have your orders."
The men opened the side door and aimed their heavy machinery at the android they counted down and then fired upon it.
To their shock the target dodged the bullets and ran off making the helicopters give chase, they continued spraying their ammo upon the target only to find it had shown no signs of slowing down.
Suddenly the target stopped and the Helicopters had to turn around to double back. When one of them suddenly felt an immense weight tugging it down it was merely seconds before they would crash.
The android broke through the bottom of the helicopter and went inside the passenger area and threw the men off before smashing the controls and exiting the then unstable helicopter.
He landed on the streets in which he was greeted by an enraged Eva who still was aiming for him. He knew that this situation wasn't favorable for him but he had to endure it until he got the edge.
He knew that no matter how designed Eva was with her technique her body wouldn't sustain the abuse for too much longer.
{KiGo}
Eva's systems were soon going to fail due to the overload and stress. Her ability was to mimic another entities power. She was meant to take out the meta and super humans. Since she wasn't meant to take on such a power without filtering through her systems she was setting herself up for a shutdown.
Still if Wunderkind won it wouldn't have mattered if she fell because there was nothing that would stop him and his ambitions were still unknown. She knew something was odd about his loyalty to their creator and wondered if he truly was just trying to appease a father who never loved him.
She had about a minute left before the overload mechanic would drain her to critical conditions. She decided to use the last remaining time she had left to at least damage her "brother" until he was unable to do too much damage to everything around him.
The explosion of the helicopter that had crashed was her signal to begin her assault. She rushed in and started attacking with a plan in mind. She needed to catch him off guard and attempt to hit a vulnerable spot. If she succeeded she could slow him down enough for the duration of the battle.
The battle ensued with blows being traded and Eva was still trying to find a weak spot. When she couldn't find any she decided to just keep going until her systems stopped. It was then she noticed that Wunderkind was possibly losing his stability and ability to continue the battle as well.
If only for a fleeting moment she saw a possible way to stop him. Unfortunately for her she wasn't able to catch it in time and ended up being unable to stop her brother. Her systems had slowed down and her limit was reached.
She backed off a bit and as if by miracle the second helicopter's door opened and a man with a rocket launcher was pointing the weapon at Wunderkind. She knew that she could hold him down and they would both be destroyed in the blast.
She rushed at him only to be grabbed and tossed away violently as the Wunderkind's sensors picked up on the weapon about to be used against him.
{KiGo}
Salazar had been fixed and he was feeling optimal even with the make shift repairs. He was confused as to why he was fixed by someone other than his creator but when the woman explained the situation he was immediately ready.
He decided that moving slow wasn't in the best interest of his future with Eva and finally made use of his imperfect parts. With high mobility legs and a secret ability kept from the other androids he rushed his way outside the building in time to see a rocket about to be shot from a helicopter.
He noticed Eva on the ground near the calculated blast radius and rushed to her side just in time to rescue her from the explosion that followed the rocket impacting Wunderkind.
{KiGo}
Wunderkind didn't even try to dodge the rocket and instead he just held one arm up as if it was enough to stop it. The egotistical android had felt invincible and didn't even flinch as the impact of the explosive launched had severely damaged his arm. The force of the explosion had ruptured his systems and the fire had threatened to damage his circuits.
When the smoke cleared and he was still standing everyone in the area had felt defeated by his lack of being destroyed. He smiled and laughed wickedly.
"You all thought you could take me out, I told you nothing in this world can-" He manage to get out before a fist had impaled his stomach.
Wunderkind recognized the hand penetrating him as the imperfect Salazar. He got free of Salazar's attack and retaliated by kicking Salazar only to find him moving at his own speed.
"I see… So that is why he called you imperfect… you were meant to replace me but instead you became a disappointment. Well no matter you shall be dealt with easily!"
He tried to attack but noticed his systems weren't able to output his normal power. That is when he realized that the entire battle from beginning to end was too much for him. He had showed off too much and took his enemies too lightly and it was his downfall.
"Later… I shall deal with you later," He vowed before using his last amount of energy to retreat hastily.
{KiGo}
Eva was shocked at the sight of Salazar being victorious over Wunderkind. She knew she couldn't dream or hallucinate since she wasn't programmed with those things installed. She was impressed and happy.
"Salazar? But how?" She asked as her confusion increased.
Dr. Vivian Porter had approached both the androids with a slumping Betty hanging on her.
"I fixed him and left all his memories intact. I just awoke a hidden program that was kept in his protocols instead of deleted. Dr. Lunkovitz's mistake is what ended up winning the day."
Salazar approached Eva and hugged her fiercely. "Why would you fight Wunderkind if it meant your own demise?"
Eva held him close and chuckled, "Same could be said for you idiot. What kind of slow paced weakling challenges a deadly android? For my sake, if you weren't victorious I would have been devastated."
Vivian watched them argue and thought it seemed like a lover's spat. She looked over at Betty and could see she was injured and wanted to help her. "Hey Betty, would you mind some company on the way to the hospital?"
Betty decided that if being injured meant having a hot woman's sympathy that it was worth it.
"Why yes and before we all think that Wunderkind got away without a trace I have some good news."
She held up a tracker and winked.
{KiGo}
Ann and Isabella were at the movie theaters and saw something that shook them to the core. The theater was in flames and a random helicopter blade had torn through the streets with cars and poles taken down by the battle that appeared to had taken place nearby.
Isabella could see the firefighters working hard to put out the fire and looked around at the crowd to see if she could find the kids that Ann's pictures depicted.
Ann was searching the crowd and saw no signs of her sons. She rushed to a firefighter and asked if anyone came out or gone in to get the people inside.
"Ma'am we are trying our best and if there is anyone in there we will try to save them. I need you to back off and let us handle this," A firefighter stated while focusing on his job.
Ann decided she had enough and was going to rush in to get her kids just before her children decided to show up and look confused.
"Mom? What are you-" Jim started.
"Doing here?" Tim finished without missing a beat.
Ann grabbed her two sons and held them close to her lucky to avoid another tragedy.
Isabella was hoping her damn daughter was having the best time with Kim since she almost ran in to save kids from a burning building just to make sure Kim's family was alright. When I see that girl I am going to let her know that I am not going to play guardian angel for her nookie sessions.
{KiGo}
An hour had gone by since Wunderkind had left the lair and there was no sign of his return it seemed. Dr. Lunkovitz was worried that he would do something crazy and he wasn't too far off. He could see the news going crazy about the destruction Middleton faced.
He turned off the channel and thought about how he got to this point in life. He wanted to help people and make the world a peaceful place. It was his original intention until Wunderkind had showed him that peace cannot be obtained by making a perfect weapon.
While deep in thoughts he heard something entering his lair without the alarms going off. "Wunderkind is that you?"
He sees the figure approach ominously and when the light shined upon the figure it revealed it was Wunderkind in a damaged state.
"Wunderkind what happened?" He asked. As the android silently approached him, he felt a bit nervous.
"Father it is so good to see you again. I have learned much from my excursion and am in need of repair but first there is something I must tell you," The android said as it got uncomfortably close to his creator.
"What's that my son?" Dr. Lunkovitz said to play into the deluded android's reality.
"Since you broke my heart I must break yours…"
Wunderkind's tone was so harsh that it didn't register what it meant until it was too late. Wunderkind's hand penetrated the old man's flesh and he pulled out the doctor's heart. Wunderkind watched in sorrow as the man who created him fell on to the ground with no sign of life in him.
Wunderkind with his bloody hand still holding the doctor's heart realized the gravity of his crime. He had killed his creator and it made him angry and sad at the same time.
"Why? Why did I have to go and do that!?" he yelled as he started smashing things and breaking other things.
His programming was free of restrictions and his creator dead he felt he had no purpose. He knew it was only a matter of time before this lair was raided by the enemy and he decided that they could have the lair but they won't have his father's heart. He went to the lab and preserved the heart in a jar before leaving the lair behind.
He vowed he would find himself a new purpose and then he would get revenge on all those who opposed his creator. His own actions against his father wouldn't be forgiven as he planned to self-destruct after accomplishing his goals.
He knew that he wouldn't be getting too far in his goals of picking off his foes until he was repaired so he had to go to someone who would be willing to repair him. That meant he had to leave Middleton, and the United States. He knew his absence would probably lull his victims into a false sense of security and when they felt their lives finally moving on is when he would strike.
To Be Continued…
