Chapter 45: The Story of Revenger
Revenger: I am... Revenger.
Steven: Revenger? Okay, so what are you doing here?
Revenger: I am here to hunt down the Gara Droid leader, Gien.
Steven: But aren't you a Gara Droid?
Revenger: No, I am not. He is not my creator.
Steven: Then who made you?
Revenger: Please sit down, this will be a long story.
Steven and Revenger sits down on boxes he used as chairs.
Revenger: Are you aware of the Gara Droids rule of how no droids are to have sentimental emotions like love?
Steven: I think Peridot once made mention of it when sometime after she joined our side.
Revenger: Steven... most Gara Droids you encounter always show a dark and destructive side, but there are or were some that did care about others and had a soft side. But we are not allowed to show that kind of emotion. If we were to get caught of having that, the sentence for it is death.
Steven eyes opened wide with a horrified look.
Steven: You're... you're not serious are you? Gien kills his own subjects if they show signs of love?
Revenger: It's the truth.
Steven: That's terrible, no cruel and awful!
Revenger: It is...
Steven: So then where did you come in? Were these droids your family or friends?
Revenger: It's more than that. They are me.
Steven now looked confused.
Steven: I-I don't understand.
The scene shifts to a flashback and whatever Revenger explains is what's showing in the scene.
Revenger: After he killed them, their remains were thrown into Homeworld's scrapyard. The bodies were destroyed, the life sparks however weren't extinguished, but they were in turmoil. All they could feel now was anger, pain and hatred. They all merged into one new spark and reanimated the body parts to combine together. Finding the the best and least damaged parts, they merged together into a new being. Me. I broke out of the scrapyard and began looking for him. I at first wanted to kill the Diamonds since they were partially responsible, but Gien had more control of the army and he enjoyed killing us, so he had to come first. After realizing he wasn't anywhere on Homeworld, I made my way to the docking bay. But I got caught and soldiers from both droids and gems came after me. But I made quick work of them and killed those that got in my way. Soon I got a hold of a ship and made my way to Earth, but I was being followed by a group of Aerodroids. My first idea was to fight, but instead I decided to let them attack so I could use the escape pod and get out quickly. They didn't notice me leave and so I made my way to Earth.
Flashback ends
Steven: So, these Gara Droids that died they wanted revenge on Gien and wanted him dead, so they made you?
Revenger: Yes, I have their memories along with their powers. One of them actually seems to know you.
Steven: R-Really?
Revenger: Do you remember fighting an elite named Saguaro?
Steven eyes open wide and remembers the events that happened int Fierce Love parts 1 and 2. Saguaro was sent to make humans lose their humanity by making them eat metal appliances so they can become Gara Droids. He and his brother Chollas teamed up against him and the gems, but they managed to overpower them.
Steven: Yeah, I remember him. We beat him, but he disappeared afterwards. Is that where he is now, he's a part of you.
Revenger: Yes, he was strong elite, but his weakness was that he cared for his brother Chollas. Gien black mailed him if he didn't win, Chollas would die. During your last fight with him, Gien disected Chollas to figure out why he had sentimental emotions. When Saguaro returned, he found his brother dead. He tried to avenge him, but was too weak from his battle and Gien made quick dispose of him.
Steven: I-I had no idea. Now I just feel bad. If he had told us what was going on, I would have helped them.
Revenger: He couldn't chance it.
Steven: Okay, so I get where you came from and why you are here. Now, did you really take down that elite and his army in the woods?
Revenger: Dart Shot? Yes.
Flashback begins.
Dart Shot: Who do you think you are trying to kill my lord?
Revenger: Tell me where he is now if you want to live.
Dart Shot: If I want to... you do realize you're outnumbered by uh, let's see there's me, Viggo, Bomber and how many soldiers, um 8,9... Ah forget it! The point is there's a whole bunch of us and only one of you!
Revenger: ( groans) You are fools. All of you...
Revenger forms a wrist blade on his right arm.
Dart Shot: So you want to play it that way uh? But enough talk, have at you!
Dart Shot sends his soldiers at Revenger. They all charged at him. Revenger took them down as if they were nothing. He blocked their attacks and slashed them, he fired his lasers from his arm and shoulders at them. But he also killed them in a brutal ways, cutting them in half, ripping off their lims or decapitating them.
Viggo: This is no droid, he's some kind of demon.
Bomber: Those gems must have made him, just look at him. He's nothing like the droids we have.
Dart Shot: Damn it! I've had enough of this guy! No one just shows up mocking the Gara Droids!
Viggo: Dart Shot, don't be a fool, we must retreat!
Dart Shot: NO! If he is really here to assasinate my master, I won't let him. I will bring his head to him and make him proud.
Bomber: Let him Viggo. Dart Shot is one of my best elites, he's conquered seven planets and never lost a fight. Show him what your made of Dart Shot.
Dart Shot: Yes Bomber the Great.
Bomber and Viggo back away to let Dart Shot fight Revenger.
Revenger: Dart Shot... that name sounds familiar now.
Dart Shot: It should, I am the most feared elites of the Gara Droids, even the Diamonds favor me as the best.
Revenger: Is that a fact? Than show me that.
Dart Shot: Oh I will.
Dart Shot used the gattling gun tail and fired at Revenger. He dodged the attack and fired his shoulder cannon at Dart Shot. Dart Shot dodges the attack and fired an eye beam at Revenger, knocking him down. He was four feet away from him, so next with both of his claws he stretched his arms at him grabbing his right arm and the shoulder cannon from the distance, he pointed them away so he couldn't fire at him.
Dart Shot: Hehehehehe! Did you really think you could beat me. I wasn't bluffing when I said I was the best.
Revenger: That was impressive, but you made one mistake.
Dart Shot: And what's that?
Revenger: You should have grabbed both my arms.
Revener with his left arm free formed another wrist blade and cut off his Dart Shot's right arm. He yelled in pain, but as he did, Revenger fired his arm cannon at him making Dart Shot let go of his shoulder cannon. Dart Shot was on the ground, trying to crawl away, but Revenger slowly approached him and stomped his foot onto his leg.
Dart Shot: AAAAHHHH!
Revenger turned him over so he could look at him. He rips the gattling gun off his tail and stabs him in the chest.
Dart Shot: S-Stop it... I'm...I'm just following orders. Please d-don't... k-kill me.
Revenger: So were you under orders when you turned against Zylpheza?
Dart Shot: W-What...
Revenger: I remember now. 543 years ago you ratted him out because he didn't want to conquere the planet Athenia because he felt what he was doing was wrong. You two got into a fight over this and after he beat you, you promised to keep it a secret, but in the end you told Gien and got him executed. You worthless, untrustworthy, piece of slag! He was your best friend but you sold him out just so you could earn respect from Gien!
Dart Shot: How...do you k-know about... t-this? Did you know him? Who are you?
Revenger: I am Revenger and let's just say that Zylpheza and I were close.
Revenger with his free arm stabs the second wrist blade into his eye and the screen goes black.
Flashback ends.
Revenger: He was a fool trying to go up against me.
Steven: I can't believe he did that, betraying his friend and having no remorse for it.
Revenger: After I dealt with him, I continued my hunt for Gien, until I came across this creature.
Revenger motioned to the cat.
Steven: The cat?
Revenger: Yes, what beautiful creatures they are.
Steven: Yeah, they're common pets that most people have.
Revenger petted the cat.
Revenger: I like this...cat.
Steven: So a little while ago you went into town to get food for her?
Revenger: Yes...
Flashback happens again as Revenger narrates the scene.
Revenger: I was continuing my hunt for Gien when I came across a road. Then I heard a small meowing noise. I looked and saw the cat on the road, but what I also saw was a transportation vehicle ( a car) heading right towards it, but it appeared to be swirving side to side. I acted fast I got in front to stop it.
Revenger gets in front of the car and stopped it with both hands. The driver who appeard to be drunk got out looking mad.
Drunk driver: Hey buddy. Did you not see me coming? What were you trying to do act all super hero or something? I mean what are you supposed to be?
Revenger just looked at him with that fixated firm and serious gaze.
Drunk driver: Hey man, are you even listening to me? Are you lost or what?
Revenger: You almost killed this creature.
Drunk driver: What, the cat? So what if I did?
Revenger: Are you saying if I wasn't here you would have killed it anyway?
Truck Driver: Maybe, what's it to yah?
Revenger walked up to him.
Drunk driver: Oh, you want play hero huh? Fine, bring it on.
The drunk driver got out his fists ready to fight. But failed miseribly when he landed a punch on Revenger, hurts his hand. As he yells from the pain, Revenger punches him across the face. But he pucnched him so hard it sent him flying into the wind shields of his car, breaking it. He falls back down on the ground and coughs out a bit of blood and realizes he knocked out his tooth. He looked up and saw Revenger walking towards him. He got back up and got into his car. He tried to drive away, but Revenger was holding onto the car with one hand, keeping him from escaping.
Drunk Driver: Hey come on man, I'm sorry. Really.
Revenger: Are you?
Revenger with his other hand slams his fist into the hood of the car, ripping out the engine and dropping it.
Revenger: I don't people that kill for no reason.
Revenger pointed his hand at the car and a light formed on the palm of his hand.
Revenger: Die.
He fired an energy beam at the car and killing the driver in the explosion. He got out of the cat safe in his arms.
Revenger: You shouldn't be on the roads. It's dangerous for you.
Revenger places her down as the cat looks up to him.
Revenger: Go on now.
Revenger turns around and walks away. He heard the meows and looks down. The cat was following him.
Revenger: No, I cannot stay. Go home.
Revenger walks away, but then notices the cat still following im.
Revenger: I said no. Don't you have someone to go to?
The tilted her head to the side giving a small meow.
Revenger: You're alone aren't you?
The cat walks up to him with both of her paws reaching for him. Revenger couldn't abandon her and picks her up.
Revenger: Very well. You may accompany me on my mission. Come on now, uh cat.
Before Revenger could continue on his mission he had to take the cat somewhere safe for them to hide at. He found a junkyard and went in. He forged a small fort for her to hide in and found some old pillows.
Revenger: There, you can stay in here.
The cat walks in and looked comfortable. She tried chewing on the pillow, but stopped.
Revenger: You're hungry aren't you.
The cat responds to him with a meow.
Revenger: Very well, stay here. I will get you some food.
The cat stayed put and Revenger moved out to find some food and water for her. While he searched he came across Beach City. He went in and the residents were a bit uneasy around him. They stayed away from him, thinking he was one of the Gara Elites. Ronaldo spotted him and got excited.
Ronaldo: ( gasps) A Robotman. This is perfect.
Peedee: Do you really have to interview him? I mean just look at him, he looks like he's going to kill someone.
Ronaldo: I live for danger bro, getting an interview with a Robotman will be the blog of the century. Now come on cameraman!
Peedee: I have a name brother.
Ronaldo rushes towards Revenger with Peedee filming.
Ronaldo: Excuse me, Mr. Robotman!
Revenger: Hmmm?
Revenger turns around and see's Ronaldo.
Revenger: What do you want human?
Ronaldo: Allow me to introduce myself, but I am Ronaldo Fryman, the one and only host of Keep Beach City Wierd and you're the first Robotman I have encountered. You're kind has been attacking our town lately and I just want to know why for our viewers.
Revenger: I don't have time for this.
Revenger tries to ignore him, but Ronaldo keeps pursuing.
Ronaldo: Wait no, I just need a few answers. Why are you attacking us? Do you come from the future and are you some kind of Frankenstein monster robot.
Revenger stops on his tracks. He turns to Ronaldo looking offended.
Revenger: Excuse me?
Ronaldo: Well I've seen what some of the other Robotmen looked like and you appear to be different, like you're made of parts of other robotmen.
Revenger: You dare call me a monster?
Ronaldo: Oh I didn't mean it like that, I just...
But Revenger had enough of him and slapped Ronaldo across the face with his back hand, sending him flying into a wall.
Ronaldo: ( thumbs up) I'm okay...ow my face.
After that this caused panic in the town and everyone ran from him. He didn't seem to care and progressed searching for food. ( The next scene is him narrating what he was doing next. What he describes is what is happening)
Revenger: I kept moving until I saw this building that said groceries. I went in and looked to see what to get her. I found the bag called cat food and a jug of water. I made my way until the people in there wouldn't let me go saying I had to pay for it. I didn't feel like killing them since they were more annoying so I blasted the wall to scare them off. I was encountered by the Earth's police force and then you.
The Flashback ends.
Revenger: And so here we are now. While I hunt down Gien, I wanted to take care of this cat.
Steven: Revenger, I see what you're trying to do. But you shouldn't steal and killing is wrong.
Revenger: But he deserved it.
Steven: Judging from what you described, he was drunk so what he was doing was illegal, but the police are supposed to deal with that. Not by killing I mean and you can't just go around killing people.
Revenger: Why?
Steven: W-What do you mean why? It's wrong.
Revenger: Why?
Steven: Because you just can't.
Revenger: Why?
Steven: ( sighs) Okay look, I'm not the type of person that likes to kill people. I kept trying to convince Gien to stop what he's doing, but he won't listen. I am convinced that he may not change his ways and I won't stop you on that, but you can't go around killing people. It's illegal.
Revenger: Fine then.
Steven: But look, if you really want Gien. Why not join our side?
Revenger: ( sharply) No. I work alone.
Steven: But we've been dealing with these guys for months. We could use more help on the team.
Revenger: But I'm not a gem.
Steven: You don't have to be. I consider one of my friends a Crystal Gem and she's human.
Revenger: But you're comrades will not except this.
Steven: They'll listen to me. Some of my new friends were considered enemies, but they joined our side.
Revenger: I'm not interested in joining your team.
Steven: You don't have to join us, but at least help us. We should help each other.
Revenger: If I help you, will you help me get Gien?
Steven: I'll do everything I can.
Revenger looks away for a moment and then back. He'll do whatever it takes to find Gien and fulfill his purpose.
Revenger: Fine then. Let me talk to you're commrades.
Steven: Okay, but one more thing. You can't kill any more people.
Revenger: I won't kill anymore people.
Steven: You pinky promise.
Revenger looks at him confused.
Revenger: What?
Steven: You take out your pinky finger and say " I promise not to kill anymore people."
Revenger groans and shakes his head, but does so. He takes out his pinky and makes his promise.
Revenger: I promise not to kill anymore people.
Steven nods takes out the flare and fires it in the air to signal the others. With minutes, they all arrived. When they first saw Revenger behind him, they formed their weapons ready to attack.
Steven: Wait stop! He's not going to hurt anyone.
Revenger: Crystal Gems. I am Revenger, please hear my story before you judge me.
Garnet thinks for a moment and then decides.
Garnet: Very well. Please tell us about yourself...Revenger.
Revenger tells the others the same story he told Steven. They couldn't believe his story, but it was true.
Pearl: That... that really is messed up.
Peridot: Well I guess that explains why I never saw you before.
Garnet: So now that we know who you are and you know we are not with Homeworld, what is it that you wish to do now?
Revenger: So now I ask you one question. Do you know where Gien is?
Garnet: We know, but we can't go there.
Revenger: What do you mean you can't?
Pearl: Entering the Gara Droid's ship is pratically suicide.
Amethyst: Last time we went there, we barely made it out alive.
Revenger: But you didn't have me. Take me to the base now.
Steven: Whoa wait Revenger we shouldn't make a hasty decision. We should plan this.
Revenger: I am the plan. You saw what I did to those droids and Viggo and Bomber. I was made for this.
Bismuth: Just let him go Steven. If he wants to slag Gien for us he can.
Revenger: One more thing.
Revenger picks up the cat.
Revenger: The cat must come with me.
Garnet looks at her and immediatly takes a liking to her.
Garnet: Okay then. Let's stop by at the temple first. And remember...
Revenger: I know. No killing people.
The others lead the way for Revenger as he followed them from behind, holding the cat still. They didn't know what to make of him. They didn't hate him, but didn't trust him either. Steven walked back a little to check on him.
Steven: Hey Revenger. You know it's kinda cool to have a droid fight with us instead of against. Once you stop Gien I can show you so much here on Earth. Maybe you can start a...
Revenger: Steven.
Steven looks up to him.
Revenger: Let's get one thing straight. I don't care about this planet or the life here. I'm only here to kill Gien. I may have promised not to kill anyone and I have no intentions of destroying the Earth, but once I fulfill my mission, I'll leave this planet and never return. Got that!
Steven looks down and sighs.
Steven: ( frowns) Okay, I get it.
Revenger walks ahead and Steven is the one who is behind now. He can only hope now that Revenger would maybe give everything here a chance.
Meanwhile at Gien's Ship.
Bomber and Viggo were being treated by medical droids. Gien and Huntress enters checking on the two of them who are still being repaired.
Gien: So... you lost again didn't you Bomber?
Bomber: But it wasn't those gems my lord. Honest.
Viggo: He's right my lord. You're being hunted.
Gien turns to Viggo.
Gien: Hunted you say.
Viggo: That droid that rampaged back on Homeworld, he's here. He calls himself Revenger, he's here to kill you.
Huntress had her eyes wide opened and looks at Gien. Gien was only mildly surprised.
Gien: What does he want with me?
Bomber: Some revenge that he kept talking about.
Gien: Revenge for what?
Bomber: He didn't exactly give full details on that.
Viggo: Check the footage, my lord. You must see this.
Gien turns on the monitors and see's footage Revenger's fight with Dart Shot and the duo.
Gien: Now that I do see his face, I can now confirm that I have not made this one before. But I am however impressed with his power. He could be useful to us.
Viggo: I don't thing he'd want to join us.
Huntress: My lord if he joins the Crystal Gems than they can lead him here. It's not safe for you.
Viggo: I agree with Huntress. We should relocate the ship.
Gien: Very well. Acha!
Acha enters.
Acha: Yes.
Gien: Inform the crew to activate the ship. We must relocate at a different location immediatly.
Acha: Yes my lord.
Acha leaves to inform the crew leaving everyone else behind. Huntress noticed how Gien seemed to be so fixated on Revenger.
Huntress: My lord, you're not serious on trying to convince this droid to join us are you? You heard Viggo he said that he's here to kill you.
Gien: Not to worry Huntress. I use more than words to get who I want in my team. ( silent chuckles)
To be continued...
Author's Note: That's it for this chapter. I wanted to make Revenger because I realized that I have no heroic or anit heroic characters in this story. But can he realize the value of what Steven is fighting for and make friends with any of the gems? Find out next time. I hope you enjoyed. Please read and review. Thank you.
