Hey everyone! I'm back with the next chapter! C:
Just something important for you guys: This "chapter" shall be split into two parts just because I don't want the chapter to be too long and mush it into one chapter and because this part of the story will be kind of lengthy. Sorry for any inconvenience!
And we've finally hit 5000+ views on this story, thank you all so much! Just reading this story means a lot! C:
As for questions about romance in the story: There definitely will be some of that, but not yet. I want to develop the story a bit more before anything like that, but it will happen! C:
Thanks to anyone who has followed/favourited this story so far! :D
Now that all of that is out of the way, let's move onto the next chapter~!
Add grips the piece of Nasod technology happily in his hands before chucking it into the Dynamos' PC hologram. The hologram engulfs the entire piece and begins to commence the experiment that the Tracer had installed into it just minutes before, Add grins with absolute excitement as a question box appears on the hologram. Add leans closer to the hologram and stares at the question.
"START OPERATION?"
Add glares with his purple-glowing eye at the 'yes or no' buttons on the screen before swinging his head back and releasing a large, insanity-filled laugh as he looks at the question.
"What a retarded question! What do you think, you piece of garbage?! Of course I want to start the experiment! Kahahaha!" He shrieks with joy as he continues to laugh, the Nasod Dynamos take the answer from its master as a 'yes' and begins to run the codes of the experiment in its system. The Nasod piece from the bandit called 'Banthus' and other metallic materials in the waterway, that Add was stuck in earlier, hover in mid-air in front of the Tracer as it slowly starts to spin around each other frantically as more purple-coloured electricity forces itself into the flying, floating scraps. Add watches the experiment happen with glee, amused as the pieces carefully disintegrate and disappear, causing a darker purple light to appear in its place. The Tracer's left eye glows more and brighter as the dark purple shield-like power emits from the hovering hologram proceeding with the experiment.
Light blasts crazily as the floating pieces spin faster and faster, the electricity from the hologram holding the Nasod piece quickly becomes unstable and fires out multiple shockwaves out of it, completely obliterating the surroundings of the cave the Tracer was standing in. Add's big smile eventually turns into a confused frown as he watches the electricity zap and shoot closer and closer to him. He shakes his head and glares angrily as the hologram quickly begins to break down under the heavy pressure of the electrical blasts coming from the experiment inside of it.
"What? What?! What the hell is going on? A malfunction?!" He screams with anger as the hologram begins to grow, it and the scrap pieces inside explode with energy, throwing Add off his feet and flying backwards. The Tracer frantically gets up from the explosion glares at the ground and sees the large cracks in it. He wanders over carefully to the purple light remaining from the explosion, the Nasod Dynamos fly to his side as kneels over to the floating ball of purple light and slowly reaches out to grab it with his skinny hands, the Nasod Dynamo's PC hologram appears again with another message written on it as the Tracer holds the ball of light.
"WARNING: UNKNOWN VARIABLES DETECTED, UNABLE TO FIND INFORMATION IN DATA." The hologram has written on it, the Tracer glares little longer at the hologram before swiping it away with his other hand. The silly warning meant nothing to him, not when he had the result he was looking for in his palm.
"Activate Nasod Armour Mode! Kehehe!" He cackles with delight as the ball of light expands and curls around Add's body, changing his appearance, his jacket changes from white to black along with the rest of his clothes. His eyes glows with excitement as the Nasod Dynamos change shape as well, the Tracer senses the change of the amount of power within him and his creations.
"Nasod Armour Mode is now active, ready for use." The Nasod Dynamo's PC voice informs the Tracer [Psychic Tracer Attire] as he laughs as hard as he can. Add turns around and sees the giant boulder covering the only entrance and exit in the cave. Add shakes his head and grins.
"The explosion must have done that…though…that's not particularly a bad thing. Let's see how this new creation works, shall we?" He giggles with happiness and anticipation
The Psychic Tracer walks up to the boulder and clenches his right hand into a fist, ready to attack it. He swings his fist back and watches with a large smile as the purple, electrical currents swirl around his hand before he punches the boulder. Rocks and dust blasts around him from the force, he stares with his smile still intact as the boulder no longer exists in front of him, he raises his hand closer to his face and glares at it.
"Heh, this is good…very good indeed. I truly hope you're ready, Wally! I already know that you're on an airship from the data scan of the piece of Nasod technology you left behind for me, our encounter will happen soon…and I look forward to it!" He laughs and speaks to himself as he steps outside of the cave, his temporary laboratory, and is greeting with the bright rays of the sun. The Tracer seems startled as he sees a floating object high in the sky, he squints his eyes and places his left hand to his forehead to see better as he looks up. An airship…there's no mistaking it…that's an airship.
"Kahaha! Speaking of the devil!" He cackles as he leaps frantically onto the Nasod Dynamos and flies upwards to his next target, Wally.
The engineer gasps and pants as he dashes to the silent man standing quietly with his arms folded, the engineer waves his hands around as he runs closer to the man. He stops once he reaches him and breathes heavily, trying to catch his breath. The man raises an eyebrow and glares at the engineer, the engineer lifts his head and tries to speak to his boss.
"Sir…flying man…coming…open…open fire…he's flying…the airship will…" He attempts to say while continuously taking in deep breathes in the middle, the boss shakes his head and stares irritatedly at the panting engineer.
"Catch your breath before speaking to me, I cannot understand a single word you just muttered." The boss commands the engineer, the engineer nods and pants some more. He talks again once he was no longer tired, he looks worriedly at the boss before reporting the bad news to him.
"Sir, an intruder with some sort of flying machines is quickly heading towards the airship at a great amount of speed. We can't identify the man, do we have permission to fire and set up our defence mechanisms?"
The man glares at the engineer a small while longer before taking a deep sigh and shaking his head, and begins to give the obvious and logical answer to the asking fool.
"What kind of question is that…? Of cour-" He starts to order, his Nasod Arm begins to feel as though it's burning. The Taker grabs hold of the arm with his human one and stares at it as large drops as sweat pours down his scarred face, a chuckling voice in his head surprises him.
Hello once again, Raven. You recognize my voice, don't you?
'Yes…you're the one. You're the one who saved me at the last moment, I can never forget your voice…what are you doing inside my head…?'
I've just contacted you to ask for a favour. Do not stop the intruder from boarding your airship, allow him to reach you.
'What? Why? I don't understand.'
It's very complicated and hard to explain it…but all that you need to know is that he's extremely powerful, do not underestimate someone like him. He'll easily defeat your men and come for you last, take him down…kill him. I've seen the future; he'll get in your way to your path of revenge. Can you let something like that happen? Wouldn't you want to crush someone like that with your own hands?
'Yes…I would…I would like to kill him myself.'
Keheheh…then make me proud. Show him the power I have bestowed upon you, show him the power of the Nasod Arm.
The Taker opens his eyes and sees the engineer stare at his boss, confused as the boss simply glares quietly at his robotic arm, and repeats the question again for him.
"Do you give the permission to fire down the incoming intruder, Sir?"
"No. Don't."
"What? But Sir!-"
The boss grabs the annoying follower and grips his shirt with his Nasod Arm, he glares at the engineer with pure anger.
"I. Said. Let. Him. Board." He hisses with rage as he chucks the engineer backwards, the enginner quickly gets up and looks scared in front of his boss.
"Y-y-yes…Sir." He nods, the feeling of being unsure of the order being very clear in his tone of voice and his stuttering. He salutes his boss before dashing away to tell all the others about the boss' words. The Taker lifts his Nasod Arm again once the engineer is out of sight and glares at it again.
"You want to take my revenge away from me…? The revenge that I rightfully deserve…? The revenge, chaos and destruction that I had promised…? Well, I'll rip you apart…I shall not be denied of my revenge!" He hisses with rage through his teeth as he glares in the distance as a small figure flies closer to the airship and boards the other side of it.
Kehehehe! I've waiting for far too long! It's time to watch the Taker and the Tracer in a one-on-one…this is going to be most entertaining indeed….especially at a time like this. This ought to solve my boredom at least for a while…
"Kahahaha! What a bunch of shitty weaklings! None of you stand a chance, none of you! Pulse Cannon!" The Tracer laughs with absolute delight as he fires four electrical bullets that home in on the Black Crow Snipers and Gladiators leaping towards him, the bullets hit against them, making them shriek with utter agony as it rips several parts of their bodies off. The Tracer grins, cracks his knuckles and watches the Nasod Armour come to life around him.
"I hope you're all ready for this, this is my ultimate creation! Kaha!"
Add teleports right next to the crowd of Black Crow fighters charging towards him, he punches with his left arm first. The punch sends a bright-purple shockwave immediately after the Tracer's first punch, hitting every single fighter standing before him. Add laughs as he follows his heavy punch with a barrage of faster punches, blood gushing out from them every time they were hit with the Tracer's new power, two out of the fifteen Black Crow fighters survive. A Sniper and a Commander, they dart forward bravely and quickly to Add once his punches had ended in hopes of catching him off guard. The Black Crow Sniper stands close by and fires three ordinary bullets to the idle and grinning child while the Commander dashes right up to him and swings his huge sword downwards to the Tracer. The Tracer laughs, grabs the sword with his right hand before it hits him and squeezes. Shattering the sword completely, the Black Crow Commander steps back with shock of the boy's power. The Tracer's eye glows brightly as he stabs his Nasod Armour-covered hand into the Commander's stomach and watches as his corpse flops to the ground. The Sniper stares at the scene and frantically drops his gun and raises his hands to surrender.
"Please…please don't-" The Black Crow Sniper begins to beg to Add as he steps closer with blood and guts still fresh on his hands and an insanity-filled smile.
The Tracer flies forward and kicks the Sniper's head off with his left foot, the head shoots away from its original body and rolls, with crimson blood following, across the airship's floor. Add wanders over to the disembodied head and places his black, cool-looking trainers onto it, his grin growing wider than before as he laughs into his hands.
"Kahaha! Don't you know how many times people have begged for their lives so far? Do you?! More than you can your idiotic, pathetic friends could possibly imagine! Don't expect mercy, it's utterly disgusting." He hisses, irritated, before pressing his foot down and listening to the familiar crunch of the skull. It never gets old.
Add's eyes turn left and right, scanning the entire airship as he walks up to the ledge and stares at just how high up they were on the ship, it almost frightened the Tracer. Rapid winds flow annoyingly through his white hair and into his eyes. He didn't like being up here, he didn't like it at all. The faster he found Wally the better.
"So, he was right. My followers would be absolutely no challenge to you, and you came the exact same time and day that he told me you would…I wonder…does he really does have the ability to see the near future?" A voice mutters with irritation as he walks up to the distracted Tracer, Add spins around and glares curiously at the scarred adult with a strange-looking, silver arm.
"Who on El are you…? Are you Wally?"
"No, I've never heard of any Wally before."
Add regains his insane grin and laughs hysterically at the Taker, he stares happily at the silver arm of the serious man halfway through his laugh making him do it even harder. The Taker glares at the white-haired, creepy child and raises his right eyebrow at him as Add continues to laugh.
"What's so funny, kid?" The Taker questions Add as he cackles.
"Because, whether you're the Wally I'm looking for or not doesn't even matter! Not after seeing that! That's a very advanced piece of Nasod technology that you have got there, it's far more advanced than the piece of tech that I fought from that annoying bandit! Who did you get it from?!" He asks frantically at the silent, serious-looking Taker as stares at the Nasod Arm.
"From a man that told me to kill you."
'What? Kill me? Who in hell is he talking about...? Wally…? Keh, no. That's not possible, this man named Wally doesn't even know I exist. I didn't leave any of the bandits or Banthus alive…there's no way that he could know about me. Who is the man that gave him that arm…? Kah…it doesn't even matter, does it? That Nasod technology is coming with me!"
"Well, say goodbye to that arm of yours! It's about to be mine! Kahahaha!" Add laughs as the Nasod Armour is resummoned and curls itself around the Tracer with purple, electrical currents, his eye glowing with excitement once again. The Taker clenches the Nasod Arm's hand and watches as flickers of flame circles in it, he raises his head and glares at Add.
"You want this arm? Come and get it." He mutters with determination as the purple electricity-covered Tracer flies towards him.
