We return with a new chapter of this curious story. Actually, this chapter will be something different. Well, we will see a little more about the villains. This chapter was inspired by my loyal reader Jaybird06. Which deserves my sincere thanks for the idea. Without wasting more time, let's start.
Bubble Guppies Fanfic
Bubble Guppies Teen Years: The Last Bubble Guppy
Chapter 9: Desperate Measures
It did not take much time since the destruction of the great watchtower. The most important telecommunications tower of the Cadaverini Empire. The stealthy and meticulous attack of resistance managed to give a significant blow to the authoritarian government. That event would have great consequences. Thanks to Mia Gentilella's message, small revolts began to emerge. In the ruins of the cities, in the mines and in the prisons small rebel groups that caused fights and riots began to leave. For now, they were weak but significant movements. For now, it is time to see certain important things that began to happen after the attack.
The powerful and fearsome members of the elite arrived at the concentration camp, where it was their headquarters of Operations. The five cyborgs gathered in the main hall of the elite. Cyborg Nonny decided to pass all members for a protocol scan to begin repairs for the damage caused by Miranda. While everyone was scanned and passed to a superficial repair, one of the cyborgs began to agree.
"Member number 5 of the elite, I request to ask a question" Cyborg Deema asked him.
"Request accepted. Ask your question, member number 1" Cyborg Nonny accepted her request.
"I think I'm suffering from anomalies. I listen to voices in my system and do not come from our operating system. I listen to a name called: Deema. Do you have some knowledge about the subject called Deema?" The blonde asked with her mechanical voice.
"Negative. The name of the subject Deema is not registered in any known database. According to the previous analysis, your chip may be damaged and major repairs are required. I request that you return to your recovery capsule to start the mental chip repair process. Unfortunately, I do not have the knowledge of the design of the chips. Those are classified data and only Master Gregory has access to them. So I will ask our master to proceed with your recovery process. Is it clear, unit 1?" Cyborg Nonny explained.
"Understood, member 5" Cyborg Dema decided to enter its recovery capsule and several cables and drones began repairing some of their systems. The other Cyborgs entered a dream while they were inside the capsules. While Cyborg Nonny decided to retire to look for her chief, Gregory. What nobody expected is that Cyborg Dema did not enter that state of sleep, she began to see everywhere and the voices of her head began to appear again.
"Well, you've certainly come to the right place"
"Supplies!"
"The suspense is maddening!"
"It can not be possible! Gil! Molly! Goby!...I MISSED YOU ALL THIS TIME! BUAAAAAA"
"You haven't lost your dramatic personality, friend Hahaha"
"Yup, definitely that she"
"Okay, maybe I exaggerated a little"
"So….are you in love with me?"
"...Yeah…...Actually, I fell in love with you recently. I thought I only saw you as a friend like in kindergarten. But then little by little I was attracted by your beauty and personality. You are a kind and tender boy. And you endure my follies"
"I ... fell in love with you recently. You are a beautiful girl and I like the way you are. You are funny, responsible, and perhaps somewhat dramatic, but that is part of your charm. And for that and more I love you"
"And….I love you too, Goby"
"What happened, guys?"
"Mmmm wait a moment? Do you know who they are?".
"What kind of question is that? Of course! They are my best friends"
"WHAT?!"
"So...Do you remember us?"
"Yeah...I remember everything. Hey ... although ... I'm confused about what happened after the accident"
"Hurray!"
"Come here! Group hug!"
"YEAH. WE TOTALLY ROCK! I LOVE ALL OF YOU!"
""We will do our best. All for the happiness of our children ... and ours"
"I love you!"
"And we love you too!"
""That was….wow…." Goby was speechless "Euh…Deema?"
"BUAAAAAAAAHHHHH THAT WAS SO CUTE! THAT WAS SO CUTE AND MOVING! BUAAHHHH"
"Yeah Deema….I admit I shed a tear or two"
"Deema! Deema Deema!"
"Deema Deema!"
"AAAAAAGHHHHHHHH! STOP! WHO IS DEEMA?! AGGGHHHH ERRORRRRR!" Cyborg Deema started to scream loudly. She began to suffer from a severe headache. She covered her head from the excruciating pain. Something was bubbling up in our blonde guppy.
While this is happening, we will look at the Cadaverini Palace, home of the imperial family. In that huge place, we can see a huge library full of files. In that great room, we see two guppies talking. And indeed, it is surprising who was conversing with each other.
"I'm surprised you're here. What motivated you to start studying regarding the affairs of the empire? I thought you weren't the studious boy" It was James with a curious tone.
"Well, very soon I will become a governor, right? So I thought it would be good to know something about the politics of the Cadaverini, right? I would sincerely like to start governing in the correct way. And he would start correcting all the mistakes of Bossi and Jane" Gil explained his new purpose "My marriage to Jane is inevitable. I want to at least take advantage of the power I will have to improve the lives of the citizens of the empire. And I'm not just talking about the privileged class, I want ALL citizens to live well...Even the slaves and the poor. I don't want to be a slave dictator"
"Tsk Tsk. A Bubble Guppy will always be a Bubble Guppy, right? I understand that there is still good in you. But you have to be realistic, you would have to face the big fish. It's not just Bossi, you would have to face the leaders, commanders, the Sinister Guppies. Being the husband of the Supreme Leader will not make you invincible" James intervened.
"So be it. I have nothing to lose. When the wedding happens and I get political power, I will change a lot of things…..But I must know the laws before the Wedding... Hey, James? Where is everyone else?" Gil asked confusedly.
"Supreme Leader Bossi is making an important trip. Gregory is still in the concentration camp. Robynn and Harris...well...I don't know where they are but I don't want to know...they're probably doing private stuff...Scarlet, we haven't heard from her. Possibly, she is busy. And Jane...I think she's in Wedding preparations. Bossi assigned me to serve you in everything you need" James explained the entire agenda.
"Serve me? Or are you just watching me to prevent me from trying to escape? It's the same" Gil rolled his eyes. Luckily, the blue-haired boy was using an electronic device to access the files. There were almost no paper files, only digital ones. While Gil was studying, he found a secret file. "Huh? "Jane Reed"...That girl...is very familiar...Wait a minute! She is Jane! But I thought Jane was Cadaverini" Gil discovered an interesting file. James jumped in fright.
"Those are classified files! They are secret files! You can't read them!" James tried to avoid him to read it.
"Ejem…..Excuse me….But as Jane's fiancé...Future husband of the next Supreme Leader...Gives me higher authority than you...So I'm your boss" Gil smiled mischievously.
"That's not how things work" The advisor said bothered.
"Well...let me see the file or else...I'll tell Jane that YOU plan to usurp the throne. And you know? Jane will believe me" The blue-haired boy put him in a bad position.
"Grrrrrr. I hate when someone else is right...As you wish, my lord..." James bowed to him reluctantly.
"Alright….I have to read this...What have you been hiding all these years, Jane?" Gil began to find hidden data. And the boy learned the truth about Jane Cadaverini...or rather...the truth about Jane Reed. The boy was filled with intrigue and surprise as he read the reports, investigations and testimonies of Jane's life. Basically, he started discovering the events of "Jane's Origin". Although Gil hated her, that didn't stop him from starting to feel some empathy towards her. After all, he will always be a Bubble Guppy.
Time later, in the same imperial palace. We can see the future Supreme Leader relaxing in a Jacuzzi in a dark purple bathing suit. She wanted to relax from the stress of politics and wedding plans. Since Bossi was away, she had to attend to political situations. At that moment, a servant from the mansion appeared before her.
"Miss Jane….Master Gil is here. He wants to come see you. Do you authorize his visit?" The servant said with respect.
"Of course! Tell him to come here!" Jane said happily.
"Understood, madam" He called him. Gil decided to approach her. The servant left them alone.
"Oh hi, dear! Do you enjoy the view?" She said in a seductive tone showing off her body in a bathing suit. Gil looked away a bit.
"That is debatable. But Jane... I wanted to talk to you about something very important" Gil wanted to tell her about his research.
"Really? Of course. I'm all yours. Is it about the wedding?" Jane asked curiously.
"Not really. The preparations are perfect and the cake is magnificent" Gil was trying to sound natural. He began to have a better attitude towards his own forced wedding. He wanted to maintain a new positive attitude in his adversity.
"I'm glad you like it, honey. Hey! I'm glad to see you more cheerful about the wedding" Jane smiled sincerely.
"Well….I guess I have to accept my reality and well... I guess I'm willing to be your husband... I think" Gil commented nervously.
"Don´t worry, dear. I´ll be the best wife. I will be the best woman of your life" Jane said happily.
"(Sorry…..but that title is taken)" Gil thought about it, remembering Molly and his mother "Anyway….The reason for my visit is…...I want you to be honest with me. As a future married couple, we should trust each other, right? I want you to tell me the truth about yourself... Does the name Jane Reed sound familiar to you?" Gil asked her. We cannot deny that this question made Jane very uncomfortable.
"N…No, dear….That name doesn't seem familiar to me" The girl said nervously.
"Well…Euh…Jane….There is nothing to hide me. I…I read a secret file about….you…..I didn´t know that you aren't Bossi's daughter….At least….you're not his blood daughter" Gil tried to use the right words.
"Ugh….There are files that are prohibited, Gil" Jane crossed her arms.
"I know and I´m sorry. My intention was to study more about the politics of Cadaverini so that I could rule competently by your side. One thing led to another and I ended up realizing about your past" Gil explained everything he knows. Jane lowered her gaze "Hey….Why didn't you tell me about this before? Have you really been carrying all that pain alone?" Gil used a tender tone of voice. Jane was silent for a long time. Evidently, Gil found out about Bossi's daughter's painful past. Everything she suffered and what made her the future dictator.
"I….I….I don´t know. I think...my past doesn't fill me with pride, you know? It was a horrible time in my life...and it still hurts. I didn't tell you anything because... I don't want to show weakness. Also, I don't feel like you could have helped me. You had a great life with your loving friends and family. You don't understand what it means to have a painful past" Jane commented about her reasons.
"Jane...if you had told me that from our first relationship...we would have looked for the best way to help you with your situation. My friends would have helped you!" Gil expressed.
"...Even HER?" Jane was bothered. We know who she is talking about.
"...Even Molly….." Gil answered in a low voice "Anyway…..Jane…I'm sorry you couldn't talk to someone else about this. That's why he led you to do horrible things. But hey...It's never too late to change, you know?"
"Huh?! Me? Change? You are kidding me, right?" Jane asked confusedly.
"Of course not! Think about this. There is no more reason to carry hatred and resentment. You already have everything you want. You rule an empire and well... you're going to marry me. You don't think it's time to start looking for new goals, new paths. Stop thinking about your evil father. Stop thinking about your abusive peers. Stop thinking about those kidnappers...And...Stop thinking about your hatred towards Molly...She...is gone...And it doesn't make sense for you to continue like this . Listen, if you want to start changing... I'll be by your side to help you. Jane...if you really love me...Try it. Do it for me" Gil took her hand to calm her. Jane was shocked with his very kind attitude. That was the Gil she wanted.
"Are you….talking seriously…. Do you believe I can do it?" Jane was shocked. She didn't believe him.
"Of course. If you want to prove to me that you love me... you will do it for me" Gil smiled at her.
"Why... Why are you so nice to me all of a sudden?" Jane blushed a little.
"Just because I'm going to be your husband by forced marriage doesn't mean I can't be nice to you. I just have to accept my fate. And well, I want to look for the positive side of things and not complain. That's how we Bubble Guppies were. It seems that I will always be a Bubble Guppy in my heart" Gil explained his motivations. Jane decided to hug him softly.
"Gil...thank you...You...did what I needed...I think...I think you are the only person capable of...helping me to be... ..better...I think so" Jane was very confused for her own words.
"It´s a long process, Jane. There are many things to change. But I will be by your side to help you" Gil said with a nice tone of voice.
"Thanks, Gil. You know...for you...I'll start trying to change some things" Jane said with sincerity.
"I know you will, Jane. If you really change for the better... Possibly... you can conquer my heart" Gil gave her a little hope that he decides to love her. That caused the emperor's daughter to smile.
"In this case….I´ll change for you!" Jane decided to run away happily. She was going to start with the process. Or at least….try it. Gil was thoughtful about his own words. Could Jane really change? Was he really going to love her if she changed?
"(sigh) Forgive me, Molly. Looks like I have to get on with my life...Without you... I'll marry Jane whether I love her or not. After all, my mom's life is at risk. In addition, I will try to change things from my future position. It's time to start correcting many things" Gil said to himself. He decided to follow Jane to help her with the future wedding and with her future therapy.
We will look again at the Concentration Camp of the Cadaverini Empire. But we'll be looking at a bunker near the main labs. At that time, there were many soldiers and scientists working at the same time. Two very important people arrived.
"Lord Cadaverini…..Your presence at my headquarters honors me. To what do I owe this honorable visit from the Supreme Leader" Gregory said bowing to him.
"I'll be honest, Gregory. I've come to pressure you. My daughter and Gil's wedding will be very soon. And the political situation is not very pleasant. Since the day Mia Gentilella, the leader of the Resistance, sent that message, things have changed. I have received reports of insurgency groups in various places controlled by my forces. There are rogue groups popping up out of nowhere like an infection. I have records in Graystone, BubbleCity, Seaweed City, Coralreefy and many more places. My men have been able to beat them but I fear that the rebel movements will get stronger. We need to crush them before they multiply further" Bossi explained his concern about the control.
"You need not worry, my lord. Commanders have beefed up their squads on Harris' orders. And the Elite will be ready soon after some maintenance checks" Gregory answered quietly.
"I don't see that you understand the reason for my visit, do you? Principal Gregory...I want you to show me "it" Bossi ordered seriously.
"Are you talking about my Masterpiece? See, boss, there are still a lot of details to…" Gregory tried to explain to him.
"I said….SHOW me! The resistance is becoming dangerous and I don't want any inconvenience for the wedding or for the control of the empire. So...I need to see "it" now..." Bossi pressed him.
"(sigh) Alright….Okay…." The snail decided to take out a remote control and pressed some buttons "DREADNOUGHT, Get up and obey your master!" At that moment, a huge capsule appeared in front of them. The capsule slowly opened and something huge came out of the capsule. It was a huge machine 4 meters high and very wide. It was too armored and the funny thing is that it had two huge arms and two huge legs. The body was fully armored. On the chest of the machine was a smaller capsule of an individual covered in wires. But since the armor was heavily armored, the capsule was covered and reinforced. The head looked like a heavy case with a large visor.
"Wow wow...I see what you did with the funds you requested. Tell me, director...explain this thing" Bossi was surprised to see this warmachine.
"Lord Cadaverini...You are contemplating the future of the military forces of your empire. My invention is my first mega-soldier. The first super soldiers were the Elite. But they were just prototypes for this. Meet the sixth member of the Elite. He is my first D.O.O.M unit. His name? Dreadnought. This new mega-soldier has great characteristics and abilities. For example...bulletproof and explosive proof…." Gregory ordered the soldiers to attack his newest creation. The heavy soldiers drew their miniguns, rocket launchers, and grenades and attacked Dreadnought. However, after many bullets and explosions, the new soldier was still standing without a scratch. Even Gregory ordered rockets and missiles fired at him and the result was the same.
"Impressive…." Bossi analyzed it.
"Oh and that's not the best. This new soldier...Has all the special abilities of the Cyborg Guppies! For example...it can fly like Deema….." Gregory pressed a button and Dreadnought activated his huge rocket pack and was able to fly a bit. He was slower than Cyborg Deema, but he didn't use wings, just his backpack had the flight boosters.
"It has explosive abilities like Goby" The snail engineer touched another button and the huge soldier activated two cannons in his hands that could fire volleys of bullets and grenades. The damage was greater than Goby's attacks.
"In addition, it possesses close combat skills like Oona" He touched another button and a red sword bigger than Oona's came out of Dreadnought's right hand and managed to deal some good damage.
"It has thermal vision and metal claws like Zooli" Another button was pressed and Dreadnought's visor's eyes turned red and the machine's fingers turned into large metal knives.
"And finally...It can hack and control technology like Nonny...Although it's a work in progress" Grgeory pressed another button and the new war machine fielded battle drones similar to Nonny's, but smaller and faster. "
You really did make a killing machine...You make me proud, dear friend. I have a question: The other cyborgs had systems that allowed them to control themselves...but I see that this "Dreadnought" is remote controlled. Why did you do that and not give him an artificial mind?" Bossi asked curiously.
"Dreadnought is too dangerous to have a mind of its own. Therefore, he can only be controlled with this control. Only you can use it" Gregory was smart with the design of the sixth member.
"I see... I see that my plans are improving. With this machine, the Resistance will be crushed once and for all. And you know, friend? I still haven't been able to conquer the whole country or the world. But with Dreadnought...that will be possible...or better...an army of D.O.O.M Soldiers! With them...The Cadaverini Empire will expand throughout this country...And then...all over the world!" Bossi said with a evil smile.
"But making more D.O.O.M Soldiers will be impossible with the resources I have. We will have to put more pressure on the slaves in the mines...And conquer more cities. And we can use Dreadnought to force the new cities. I never thought that my invention would be a fusion of Darth Vader, Megatron and Shredder" Gregory said funnily in the last sentence "And to think the test subject was useful after all"
"Test subject? Is that thing a cyborg? I thought it was a robot completely" Bossi was surprised.
"Sure, Supreme Leader. And I think you and I know who the person inside the machine is" Gregory smirked evilly.
"With this thing…..The Resistance will die!" The Supreme Leader smirked evilly. It seems that it is not enough to have taken over BubbleTucky and the neighboring cities. Now, with the appearance of Dreadnought, the taking and conquest of the country was possible. And with the start of manufacturing more D.O.O.M Soldiers, world conquest was possible. Bossi wanted more and more. And above all, crush the rebels and opponents of his empire. However, unbeknownst to them, something was happening on the other side of the Concentration Camp. We see a person lying on the floor. It was a girl with curly blonde hair. Or at least a cyborg girl. She was in that state for a long time.
"Brain Chip Irreparable Damage in Elite Unit 1. Human Nervous System Activated. Human brain activity: 100%. Recovered Memories: 100%"
And then…..She opened her eyes.
I'm sorry the chapter took longer than expected. It has been difficult for me to finish this chapter due to work and family issues. But we'll see if this week I can write more.
I'm tired for now, so I'll just say don't forget to support this story with your reviews. And see you in the next chapter of this great story. I love you so much!
