Chapter 6
Guess who is real moron! ME! I messed up it had been so long since I worked on this story I renamed Linda, Beth. So yeah I am reuploading this chapter to fix it. So sorry won't happen again.
I know it's been a long time since I updated. But well part of that was actually have a chapter I was working on get lost due to a computer issue. So here it is the long but not really that anticipated since I'm first one to write a Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad story in years chapter of Squad Reborn. For anyone wonder about my wrestling stories. Right Side of Wrong was updated recently. As for anything new I haven't gotten a good idea yet. Also I keep kicking myself for not including the little mini previews like I did in chapter 2 as it reminds me how the show used to open.
Its me Linda. You know what is worse than a person that won't stop talking at the movies? A virus that crashes the picture and causes everyone to go nuts. And poor Jon is about to learn a double feature isn't always good thing.
Sydney waiting in her car, checked her watch the person she was meeting was ten minutes late. Her phone went off she already knew it was a text from Tanker asking where she was. She sent a quick reply telling him the free lance consulting job she took was taking longer that she expected. She hated lying to him but this meeting had been hard enough to get. The person had made it very clear he would meet with Sydney and only Sydney. A knock on the window and there he was. Bill Mertz a man Sydney herself had hired right out of college. She unlocked the door and he climbed in. "Drive," Bill says nervously. "What?" "Just drive," He yells. Sydney starts the car and drives.
"Thank you for meeting with me," Sydney finally says. "Don't thank me yet. I might not have anything you will want to hear," Bill claims. "Anything information you can provide me will be appreciated," Sydney assures him. "We will see... how easy do you sleep at night Syd?" Scott asks looking around as if he is expecting people to chase them. "Scott do you remember that last project I ran?" Sydney asks wanting to cut to the chase. "How could I forget. Your little idea to take AI to the next level. Source of all my nightmares," Bill says. "I know things got intense... that is part of the reason why I shut it down," Sydney reminds him.
"And than you left. And you really think a company that is about making money would just leave a project alone when there is a chance to make profit," Bill rants scaring Sydney with how intense he is. "So they restarted the project? When? Is it still going?" Sydney asks. "That car has been following us," Bill says nervously. "What car?" Sydney asks. "The old Ford. Pull over," Bill says starting to panic. "Bill easy that ford already turned off," Sydney says. "I said pull over!" He yells. "Okay calm down," Sydney says pulling the car over. "Look Sydney let it go. Just move on be happy with your husband and kid," Bill tells her before getting out of the car and running off.
Music Store
"There are young man. I am little surprise this a bit of a classic," the clerk says handing Jon the newly restrung guitar back. "Well it was my dad," Jon says putting the guitar in its case. He exits and smiles at Shelby who is waiting for him. "Sorry that took so long," he says to her. "Not a bit deal the others are still running around," Shelby says. "We could skip out on them maybe go to a movie," he suggested. "I'm tempted..." Before she can finish her phone start to ring. "I need to take this I'll be just a second," Shelby tells him before walking off trying to find a little silence. About a minute later Linda, Rebecca and Will walk up to him. Will is carrying several large bags and struggling to do so. "Are you sure you don't want us to take some of those back?" Beth asks Will. "No what kind of gentleman would I be if I didn't carry the packages," Will says struggle.
Rebecca sees Jon has his guitar back. "Good you got it back." "I don't know why are so worried. This wrist thing lets me turn into Servo as well," Jon says. "I had this nightmare the guy working it would hit the cord you use and transform in Servo," Rebecca jokes. "According your mom that can't happen unless the program is active... Hopefully we can get to the movie on time. Shelby had to take a call," Jon says. "I'm back but I have to go. My mom needs my help," Shelby says. "We understand," Jon says before giving her a kiss. Shelby heads for her car while the rest head to the a movie theater near the music store after Jon stores the guitar in his own car.
Another car pulled alongside waiting for Jon to get in his car and leave. Jon is doesn't notice instead worried about getting the guitar situated. The driver of the other car honks its horn. "I'm not leaving," Jon yells annoyed. Edwards is behind the wheel and flips Jon off. "What is wrong with that guy?" Jon thinks to himself. "Jon come on," Will yells. He returns to his friends just wanting to have a good time for a couple of hours.
Digital World
"I have grown tired of your failures." "As you have said many many times. But we need to stop going around in circles." "I am not going around in circles!" "It is an expression. We keep having the same problem. We send a virus, Servo shows up and defeats the virus. We have to start again." "The Servo program must be dealt with!" "That is what I have been working on. Now we need to look at the times we have had real success against Servo. Remember Congokong? How when its ability to detach its arms gave him an advantage?" The Human asks. "Until the Drago program showed up." "We have to stop losing the numbers game. Well no more meet Double Trouble," The human says holding up a drawing of what a appears to be a black knight. The human puts the drawing on a scanner and does some typing.
"Such interesting programming. However this is a problem this special ability will require a great deal of my power." The human laughs. "So you finally admit you aren't all powerful. Good to know." "Now listen to me human! I do not lack power. How ever a mega virus requires an intense burst of energy. This special ability is means I must create more than one." The human smiles. "My father has a saying you can't hit a home run if you don't swing for the fences." "This is the baseball?" "Yes baseball. Double Trouble gets rid of Servo than you are free to do as you please and you can stop threatening me," The human declares. "Fine than where should we send this virus." "Well speaking of baseball there happens to be a movie about baseball playing at the local theater..."
The Theater
"We got here way to early," Linda says. "Well blame Will. He made such a big deal out of getting here on time. Turns out we are thirty minutes early," Rebecca says. "No blame the theater and the insane prices they charge. If I am going to pay that much to sit in these seats I am going to use them for the maximum amount of time and keep it down. We don't want people to get mad at us for talking," Will claims. "We are the only four in here. And if we weren't all that is playing is the stuff they play before previews," Jon says. An ad for snakes plays. "Okay I'm going get something to eat," Linda says getting up. "Me too," Jon says following her. "You two are getting scammed," Will claims. They ignore him.
In the Digital World the virus has arrived in the theater and has begun to infect the projector. Out in the theater so more people have shown up and are starting to find seats. Suddenly the screen goes black for a second. "Maybe the previews are starting?" Rebecca says. "Yeah maybe," Will says. The screen comes back on and a beam shoots out of it. Everyone in the theater gets up and starts to trash it. Will and Rebecca storm int the wall. Rebecca grabs a poster off a wall and smashes it. Meanwhile Will smashes a standee for an upcoming movie.
Off by a conciseness stand Jon and Linda are debating if they should get a large popcorn. A bunch of people storm out of one theaters and are trashing the place. Jon pulls Beth away as a heavy trash can goes flying and hits a case smashing the glass. "I knew all these remakes of classics would be the end of the movie business," Jon jokes. "Now is not the time to joke," Beth snaps as they run trying to find cover. More people are coming out of theaters. Staff members are trying to step in with no luck. "We need to find Will and Rebecca and get out of here… there they are," Beth says just before seeing the other two stuff some usher in a closet. "Got to be a virus," Jon says. "Well get to it go Samuraize," Linda says. People fleeing run past them and even knock Jon to the floor.
He gets up and reaches for his phone. "Crap I must have left it in my seat," Jon says. "Do you need a phone?" Linda asks. "I need something to access the program. Come on," Jon says as he pulls her to the theater they were in. Most people have left but there are still people in there making a mess. They can't find it by the seats they were in. Finally Linda finds it have been kicked toward to the steps. "Got it," Linda says just before some guy grabs it away from her. "Give that back!" Linda yells. "Make me," the guy taunts. Jon is about to step in when Beth hits the upper cut right to the jaw dropping him. Linda grabs back the phone the guy and Jon are in shock. Finally the guy gets off and runs off. "My dad showed me how to throw a punch," Linda claims. "I didn't know your dad was Mike Tyson," Jon says. "Enough jokes we need to stop the virus," Linda says. Jon quickly pulls up the Servo program and hands Linda the phone. "Let's Samuraize, guys!"
Jon as Servo appears and flies off to the system. Servo arrives and sees Double Trouble using its sword to trash the system. "This guy doesn't look to bad compared to some of the others. Hopefully I can delete him with ease," Jon/Servo says before growing. Double Trouble sees him and charges slashing at him with the sword. Servo ducks and slips and even jumps over one attempt. Servo back flips away and than goes for a jump kick that is deflected away. "Careful Jon," Linda calls back in the real world. Double Trouble spends swinging the sword launching a power blast from it that hits Servo knocking him off his feet. Servo manages to get up but not takes a blow from the sword and than stab at his chest plate. Again Servo is sent back. "Hang on Jon I am sending some help," Linda says as she calls up the sword and shield and launches it.
Servo leaps over the virus and catches his weapon he quickly removes the sword from the shield compartment. It becomes a sword fight both going back and forcing attacking and blocking. Both try different techniques such as Servo faking high and going low and Double Trouble trying his spin attack again. Servo finally is able to use the shield to lock up Double Trouble's weapon and strike with his own. Double Trouble is knocked back. Servo transforms the shield into a base and combines it with the sword. Servo charges and uses some grid add extra effect to his strikes with the sword. Double Trouble launches another energy attack and than to Servo's shock splits into a two. "I heard computer viruses multiply," Jon/Servo says. The two viruses attack at once. Servo is able to block one but can't stop the second his sword is knocked away.
With Servo now weaponless bout Double Troubles are able to each strike Servo. "AHHH!" Servo yells. Both viruses does the spinning energy attack. The warning light on Servo's head starts to flash. "He needs help," Linda thinks knowing she has to go in starts to pull up another support program. "There she is," A voice says. Linda looks down the steps and sees Will and Rebecca walking toward her. "Guys stay back you aren't thinking straight," Linda says backing up. "Let's smash the phone," Rebecca says. "Jon in in there he's fighting as Servo," Beth says hoping that will break though. "Good," Rebecca says. Linda is forced to move around the theater even hopping over seats trying to get away from them. The problem is with two people chasing her they are able to limit her options. Even worse she can't finish calling up the program to go help Jon. Even if she could she is to worried about leaving the phone behind.
Back in the Digital world Servo is being knocked around the system. The two Double Troubles cross there swords into an X and fire another blast. "I need to do something to stun one of them," Jon/Servo thinks but he can barley stand. Again the viruses charge this time Jon sees they have the same pattern where the one one on the left moves first. Jon is able to avoid the attack. The Double Troubles turn around again the one on the left leads the way. "That must be the one in control. Maybe I can use that," Jon thinks. As Servo he launches a fireball attack aiming at the one he thinks in control they hit but sure enough the other one acts like it's been hit as well. "One shot," Servo says calling on all his grid power and firing out of his gauntlet. The blast hits the control virus destroying it. The remaining Double Trouble doesn't move anymore making it easy for Servo to hit him with a weaker blast and destroy it and than repair the system.
Back in the real world both Rebecca's and Will's eyes flash. "HELP!" After there heads clear they see they are holding Linda over the railing about to drop her. Quickly they pull her up. "Beth we are sorry," Will says. "Yeah what happened?" Rebecca adds. "A mega virus happened and you two acted out The Purge," Linda tells them. A flash of light later Jon is back in the real world. He looks around the wrecked theater. "Score one more the good guys."
Collins Mansion
Sydney sits at her desk trying to work. Trying being they key word her encounter with Bill was still running through her mind. She had tried to reach out to him only to find his phone, e-mail, along with any and all social media had been disconnected. "What had you so scared?" Sydney thinks. Needing to focus she opens her business e-mail. The one at the top draws her attention. The subject reads About Mertz. She quickly opens it. "Dear Mother, It has been far to long since we talked. Of course you weren't around when I gained my full power. But I warn you stay away or else," The e-mail reads. There is an attached file which Sydney downloads and sees a picture of Rebecca. Her heart feels like it's about to stop.
Meanwhile
"I know you are mad. But I have lived up to our deal. I have done my best to live up to our deal. Its not easy to design these viruses and program them. I tried to make adjustments to defeat Servo," The human pleads looking at double computer screen. One shows a bank account that has been totally emptied. "According to you humans the definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over again and expect a different result." "Than let's change things. We can try something different. Maybe we can hack Servo," The human pleads desperately. "I have tried to track Servo it is not possible. The control files are locked and out of my power. Our deal was simple. I provide the money and funds to allow you to matain your status. I changed public records to limit your father's disgraceful downfall from becoming common knowledge. But you must provide the viruses I need to take over your world."
"Its Servo's fault not mine. Please give me one more chance. I can figure something out. If my designs aren't good enough maybe I serve you some other way. Don't leave me broke. I have nothing my father is in jail my mother ran off..." "Stop your crying human. I am aware of your situation that is why I sought you out. I studied you." The human doesn't respond. "Please don't abandon me," they plead. "I guess I am soft hatred. I just can't leave you child. I shall give you another chance but I still must punish you. Until Servo is gone no more money." "But I need to eat and I need gas money there are other bills. If I lose power I won't to be able to..." "I shall provide you just enough money to get by. But no extra money for clothes or entertainment. You must learn you must have success to get what you want Shelby."
