Chapter 7: Rebirth
Naruto was losing his mind from worry. The A.I. Chip containing Serena had being taken into R and D to find out what was causing her degradation and they'd been hard at work for nearly four days. Four days, Naruto had been without his wife, four days he hadn't known whether or not she was going to make it or if she'd die.
Naruto looked at his desk, a picture of him in his original ADST armour with Serena's arms wrapped around his shoulders.
Naruto smiled at the picture sadly before he left the office. He'd never been the religious type, but then, if there was a time to pray, now was it.
R&D Labs
The scientists were arguing madly over what to do about a project they'd been working on. While others prepared an unknown object away from the group.
"We can't use it yet, it hasn't been tested, for all we no it would destroy her." One scientist argued.
"We don't have a choice, we know the problem is her interface chip, we need to get her out of that thing, SHE is fine but she won't be if she stays in that thing, it's degrading and when it fails, it'll take her with it." Another replied.
"Besides, the project is the only chance she has, she's running out of time, it's now or never. We simply need to wait until the squad transmits the data from the ship, we need to know whether or not the project will accept her." Another scientist argued.
"This project could increase our numbers with mechanical soldiers, and yet we build it for her, why are we even bothering with her, she's a computer program, she's not even alive and yet our "brave leader" married a machine." the first scientist snarled.
"You will not speak that way about Commander General Naruto. He saved all our lives, freed countless slaves, liberated Yuki no Kuni. I even heard from Royal Team that he fought off Doto's entire honour guard, we are renowned throughout the elemental continent, now there is a chance for peace, we owe him." The second scientist replied in anger.
"Enough. We will prepare the project, this is non negotiable. When Specter and his Valour Team send the data from the spirit of fire we will modify the project to accept Serena." The third scientist yelled.
The first scientist grumbled while the rest glared at the first.
"I don't trust him, call for security to watch over things." the second scientist said.
The third nodded and left to fetch a group of ADST guards.
Hi No Kuni
"This is Valour One to R&d, we're approaching the cave where the spirit of fire is, over. We'll be sending your the AI data shortly. Over and out." Specter said as he drove a warthog with Valour Two, Daisy on the gun. Valour Three, Carolina Rex was driving the second warthog with Meta on her gun.
The pair of vehicles entered the cave, the Spartans jumped out and ran straight for one of the openings that Naruto and his sisters used to enter, a lifeboat port and ran through the halls towards the bridge.
Upon entering the bridge Daisy immediately set up a wire between her armour and the AI hub.
"This is Valour Two, uploading data." Daisy said urgently.
"This is R&D, receiving and data and making adjustments to fit parameters." R&D replied.
"You mind telling us what's so important about this project, you should be working on saving the General's wife." Specter grunted.
"The project and miss Serena go hand in hand, this will save her and give her more freedom as well." R&D answered.
"Can you show me the specs or what it is we're helping you with?" Specter asked.
A minute later, an image flashed on Specter's HUD causing him to whistle.
"So this is what it is. That all artificial?" Specter asked.
"Partially, we used UNSC tech with flash cloning along side an old project that had been put on ice back on earth." R&D said.
"I remember, hard to believe they began making AI constructs after that. What was the last generation? NS-5?" Specter asked. ((I-Robot, I do not own))
"Yes, we used the same format from the historical files from both the spirit of fire and from the Halsey clan's help, the Forward Unto Dawn. The Commander General will be pleased, provided that we succeed." R&D said proudly.
"Somehow I think you will. Alright, we're packing up over here once the upload is complete. Good luck." Specter said turning off the link.
"Upload complete." Daisy said pulled our her wire.
"Well done. Spartans move out." Specter said as he and the rest of Valour Team left the bridge.
R&D
The scientists moved their project onto a bed of some sort before plugging in a large cord into the back of the project's head. They then place Serena's chip into an AI module revealing Serena whom was looking worse for wear.
"Hold on, Ma-am, We'll have you out of there in no time." A scientist said while the guards kept watch after forcibly removing one scientist who tried to disrupt the transfer.
"Beginning download." A scientist said as Serena vanished.
The machine shut down.
"No! What happened?" A scientist screamed as a guard and a scientist checked the power, a breaker removed from the breaker box.
"Find him and arrest him." A captain said and a number of guards left the room.
"Did she make it?" A scientist asked worriedly.
The rest looked uneasy until they saw something, it was small but they all saw it.
1 hour later, Naruto's office.
Naruto sat in his chair, he prayed that his wife would pull through but even still. He was lost and had no idea what to do when there was a knock on his door.
Naruto ignored it.
They knocked again.
"Naruto? It's me Aqune." Aqune said from outside.
"Come in." Naruto said trying to sound calm.
Aqune walked in smiling.
"Naruto I have great news." Aqune said happily.
Naruto looked up at her shocked.
"She's going to make it?" Naruto asked hopeful.
"Even better, might I introduce, Serena, in the flesh." Aqune said smiling as a woman walked in wearing a black and white suit.
The suit at white lines along the ribs and chest along with white striped on the legs and arms. She had a small white collar on her suit as well as that it was form fittingly skin tight.
She had brown hair coming down to the small of her back in the same style as that of Serena.
Naruto looked at her shocked stupid. "Serena?" Naruto asked.
The woman smiled. "How do I look in my new body?" Serena asked.
She got her answer Naruto grabbed and pulled her into a tight hug.
Serena simply returned the act smiling lovingly.
"I'll leave you two alone, I have an ass hole to deal with at the prison." Aqune said smiling wickedly.
Naruto looked at Serena confused.
"Later, but for now." Serena kissed Naruto.
Okay cheesy chapter, you all wanted Serena to live, I figured I had to first figure out what's causing her to fragment or rather what's causing her signal to fragment, then came how to save her. I mean, a flash cloned body reinforced with cybernetics should be easy, The UNSC had FTL travel and space capability and AI adding on Mjolnir and an essentially cyborg body is nothing compared to all that, also adding what Uzu has built so far.
Now then, Serena Uzumaki's appearance, currently out of armour is based off Mari in her plug suit from evangelion which I do not own. Why I chose this form for her is that it kinda has the whole mecha girl look to it without allot of extra crap added onto it and it still has the robotic feel unlike many underlays. Also since she is essentially a biomech now or cyborg now, expect some awkward learning experiences for her.
I know the chapter was short but it was mostly centred around saving Serena, next chapter will feature focus on Serena's learning about her self and negotiations with the Kiri resistance.
