This Is a disclaimer for the anime series, Familiar of Zero
Day 27 Dawn
A feeling of loss fell at the sight of Techs dull eyes that stopped glowing there neon color in the night. Louise could only stair at Techs unmoving body that was in her arms "he's dead…" was the only thought that ran thru her head "he's dead…dead" Yak reached down with a robotic arm and gently closed his creators eyes for the last time. Even if he was only a souls AI that's only purpose was to destroy and fallow orders, he understood the human ideals. Same could be said about his comrades that stood with him.
They, unlike the Weapons, Vehicles and Buildings Tech made, would talk and bicker like humans. He even said they were all siblings in one big family, and they in turn thought of him like a father, as he did create them and give them purpose. But what now? They had no idea what to do. At this point Teach wou-
"Wait" said Gorge getting everyone's attention "Tech said ececu-? Dose that mean he wanted to say Execute?" they looked at one another in confusion till Yak said "Yes, but Execute what? I wasn't told a Plan to execute after all this, how bout you?" "Negative" the two droids said at once.
It was deathly quiet till Louise gasped "He did tell me a something called…" she ran thru her head trying to remember what Tech said, and putting the Droids on edge "What could this guy come up with for something like this?" Agnes whispered to Henrietta who shrugged "I don't know. He often pulls things I would never think of doing"
After a few more second Louise exclaimed in victory "Plan R!"
No sooner did the words leave her mouth did a spot on his back make a beeping noise. She (with Gorges help) turned Tech over to see one active Sonic Disk, that popped out and flew to shoulder height where it stayed. Louise got up and looked at it curiously as a green light swiped over her and said "Identity confirmed: Louise Francoise le Blanc de la Valliere. Now playing message"
Its top flashed and glitched a bit before showing a Holo image of Tech standing with tux on with some flowers tucked under his left arm.
"Hey…if your getting this message…then I'm dead…I wont lie to you, I was expecting this to happen. I thought I would live longer, but my condition was only getting more grave the longer I tried to hold it off with my stuff. I know your probably angry I never told you of my soon to be death. But the thing was, I had a plan"
Tech then looked at them and grind like a Mad Genus once more.
"this message is also playing because, Louise, you initiated Plan Retrieval. Your Mission, if you chose to accept, is take this Sonic Disk to these coordinates. After that is done, you will receive the next part of your Mission…and one more thing…don't touch anything unless your told to!" with that the message blinked out and a Map of Tristain opened up, blinking one location.
"The Forest? Why would he want us to go there?" Agnes asked looking at it "I know why" Dunk said looking at it "So do I" pitched in Yak "Statement: Same here" X9 also said.
They all looked at them as X9 explained "Explanation: Tech knew if something went wrong, he could use a back up base. This base was kept secret from all but a select few. Team Alfred, Team Bravo and Squad Charley were told this secret. But what this base holds we do not know…but we will soon" he looked at Louise as Dunk said "Tech chose you to do this task. So we will accompany you there" Henrietta then stepped up and asked "would it be fine if I came as well? I wish to help by repaying Tech anyway I can" Agnes walked up to Henrietta and threw in "if her highness goes, then I fallow"
All the Droid Commandos looked at one another before saying "It will be acceptable, the Base was to hold only one thing and one thing only before it was complete and destroyed" they then about faced and began to walk away. Louise grabbed the Disk and run after them the rest began to fallow, except Gorge. Henrietta stopped and asked "Gorge? Are you not coming?" the droid commander looked at her and back to the dead boy and said "I can not come with. It is not in my place and rank. I must do what I can, and that is to do what Tech would probably want" he reached down and gently picked up the body and saying "I must take his body back to The Lab for cryo-stasis. It will serve as a memory for us who he created" and with that he walked away with MAEA's by his side.
Henrietta looked on for a moment before running to keep up with the other group. She could only wonder what the boy had in mind.
They came to a Drop-Ship that soon made haste to the allotted area and landed in a clearing. They then began to hike there way there, going around logs, rocks and streams before reaching a Steel Door. The Disk beeped and floated pulling out of Louis's grasp putting up the Hologram message once more.
"Good, now what you must do next is insert the Disk into a slot while putting your face up to the girded pad. Once that is done fallow the arrows. If you primitives can do that much, I'll be impressed"
Louise wanted to grit her teeth at the end at his insult, but did as it told. She walked up to the door and found a slot. She put the Disk in and put her face in front of a Girded panel. It scanned over her face and scanned the Disk, letting the doors open. On the inside it was dark and lit with bright blue tubes, that seemed to pulse with power "Surprise: Whao! Are those E-Gel Tubes!" X9 asked in surprise "they are…Tech must be doing something big to go to such lengths" Dunk answered stepping in.
Agnes looked to Yak and asked "What are "E-Gel Tubes" Yak?" the reply was swift "E-Gel, is a concentrated form of power that does not get easily detected by radar. It is thick and very corrosive, and is not advised to use near populated areas. The Tubes are used to move it along, as they are made to take on its corrosive abilities" "Corrosive? Is it harmful?" Henrietta asked "Sarcastic Reply: Naw, not at all. It only eats thru most Metals and Flesh in 1/4th of a second on contact"
Even know Louise wanted to glare at the droid, she couldn't help but not, as she paled at the idea of a Tube breaking on her. It wasn't a pleasant thought.
After a few more minutes of walking, an exit could be seen at the end of the hallway. Once they reached it, they felt there jaws hang (but the droids. They didn't have any)
There in front of them was a hallowed out cave, able to fit ten of the Fortresses that Tech just destroyed. But that wasn't what made them slack jaw, it was rather the Huge Ship colored with Blue and Black that filled most the cave that had them. The body was a slender shape and had platforms with numerous windows and entrances. Turrets dotted the hull from front to back. Some the size of houses, some the size of carriages and the rest were smaller then that, but were more in number. How he made this in such a short amount of time was beyond them. The Disk Beeped once more, and Louise let it Float back up with Hologram Tech, with a big Smirk.
"I'm guessing you've meet Secret number 2 by now. This little Toy is called. *ah-ahem* Lab Indigo, a mobile base I made. My main attraction is inside"
With the message done, it floated back to Louise, to be held once more. They could only wonder what he had in store next. They walked down the steps and walked to the huge mobile Base. Inside it had smooth white hallways, with rounded droids going about checking things as they did and getting out of the new comers way.
They continued to fallow the lit up arrows till they reached a door that opened up to a room with nothing in it. Except a tube holding something in it.
All droids did a good impression of gasping for air at what they saw "Disbelieving Statement: I don't believe it!" "No way!" "He actually did it!" the three humans looked at the Droids, with Yak explaining to them "This is Project X250! it was a small rumor to us Droids he had. Something that was to be his greatest achievement!"
They looked at the tube and back at Yak who continued "A Droid, with the Power to Evolve! It was to be able to learn new information and be able to adapt and change its body. Tech tried so many times to make one, but all failed…he didn't have the right AI or Power source for it. Those were beyond his power" they stayed quite from there. Louise then took steps to it and asked "But why did he want to bring us here?" once she was close enough, the Disked beeped. Louise let it go and watched as the message played once more with a more the serous looking Tech.
"Louise, this last thing you are to do is going to be very important. Do not, I repeat DO NOT…mess this up in any shape or form" for once they felt intimidated by his voice. It was more commanding and strict then they were use to. It the played on "if any Droids are accompanying you, I want them out of the room. What will happen next will fry there circuitry" with out a word the three Droids left, closing the door behind them.
"next, take the small sphere the Disk is about to give you. Once you have it, walk over to the Capsule and let the clawed arm do the rest of the work while you run to a safe distance. Exit the room if you must, this probably wont work, but I must try one more time…and if it fails, tell Siesta thank you for me…and thank you Louise"
With that, it cut out and the Disk floated down to the ground, opening a compartment and holding up a marble sized ball of green energy. It glowed with a peaceful hum, and had three glass looking rings spinning around it. It seem to float in place, and after it was out of its compartment, shorted out the Disk. Louise seeing it full of power, put her hand to one side and went to nudge the thing by the other side. When her hand got so close, it moved away as if there was an invisible shell around it and floated into her hand. She carefully lifted it and looked it over.
It was beautiful and the rings held rainbows in them as they spun. It floated just a half inch above her palm and felt warm. For some reason she felt at peace while holding it. She then walked over to the Capsule and leaned down to what looked like a door. It opened and held out a small three prong claw. She put her palm close for it to gently garb the sphere before going back in.
The Capsule then glowed bright Neon Green in seconds, and Louise ran back to Henrietta and Agnes.
Electricity began to arc all over and light poured from the different areas on the Capsule. The tubes overhead sparked and some broke off, flying about wildly at the sudden spike in power, and after half a minute it all calmed down. Then the Capsule opened up reveling Tech, who stagers out of it "TECH!" they chorused running to him "how did- you where-" "what dead? hey I told you, you would know what to do when Plan R needed to be done" Tech said grinning. Henrietta looked him over and asked "but how did you make a body? no one could ever do that!" Tech shook his head "no, no, no. it's not a flesh body, it's a robotic one. true fitting ones self into a Prototype Power Matrix system was tricky, but it worked" Tech said casually to there gaping mouths "so you-" "dead…but alive...that reminds me"Tech then bowed and said "allow me to reintroduce myself. I am TECH. Technologically Evolving Cybernetic Humanoid"
They could only look at him before Louise yelled "YOU STUPID DOG! Why did you scare me like that! I though I lost you" she clung to him and cried. True she was angry, but she didn't want to lose him. Sure he was annoying and acted self centered and rude at times…but he was happy to show his wonders to all.
Tech patted her head and scratched his head of shinny Silver hair. He had to admit, it was nice having his stuff off. It felt so new and all his gear was now part of him. He was glad he was all cybernetic now to, Louise would be suffocating him if he was organic at this moment. He let the girl cry for a few more seconds before saying "you know I have some work to do right?" they all looked at him "work?" Henrietta voices in confusion. Tech nodded and got a now calmer Louise off himself "yes, Lab Indigo should be able to fly now. Normally I would like to have it at peek efficacy, but this area was to be abandon as soon as it was either found or used" he then walked past them and headed to the door while going thru his new HUD in his head. Once he stepped out of the room, the three droid Commandos showed there surprise at seeing the experiment not only work, but Tech, in some ways, cheating death. They brimmed with questions like the others, but were ignored, saying it was time to get his new base up and running.
After a few more seconds of getting use to his new cybernetic mind, Tech activated Lab Indigo. He then turned back to the rest with a grin and said "come along now, this place is about to take its first maiden voyage, and its going to be a bit rickety"
-Above Ground at a near by Village-
In a small farm filed, a Farmer toils away at the ground to ready the ground for seeds. They had just finished there harvest of an herb not to long ago and were getting ready to make the next batch. He finally stopped to take a rest and wiped his head of sweat. A voice soon caught his attention and he looked to his right. It was one of his more younger daughters coming to give his a glass of water. He could only shake his head, she should be at the house cleaning the dishes. However he could only smile at the young girls wanting to help her father while he worked.
After she got to him, she gave him the water, to which he thankfully took and drank. As he savored the cool water, he patted her head in affection while smiling down at her, as she smiled back up.
The moment turned from peaceful, to slight panic, as the ground rumbled and shook. Two of his son's one an older daughter came running, while stumbling with the ever shacking ground.
"Father!" his eldest son yelled "What's going on?" "I don't know Joshua! In all my years, the Earth never shook so much!"
As they tried to hold there footing, a Thunderous noise was heard, along with hundreds of panicking Birds from the forest ahead of them. Dirt and dust flew and the forest begin to heave up into the air on its own. Soon, more and more of the forest that was near a mountain, begin to rise and move away from the ground. Tree's, Earth and Stone began to fall from the thing that had come out of the ground, and with one finale heave, a Huge Blue and Black ship, more larger then the ones of Albion, rose out. Once it was free of its Earthy hold, it rose higher still, before just sitting in the sky.
They could only look up in aw at the giant ship before them, as it stayed in place.
Then, the rear began to flare to life with strange energy, pushing it forth. They then watched as something so big, could move so fast in such a short time. Its heading, there capital of Tristain.
========Notes========
I know, long wait, and little read, but I was taking some time off if you must know. Pulse you can consider this the first part of Act 2
More will come, but not as fast. And there will be more in the future, and a more unique Tech, being a cybernetic and stuff.
