Chapter 4: Upgrade

We don't own the characters involved.

Genom Headquarters...
Mason headed for Quincy's office. "Hello, sir," he said.
"How could you?" Quincy asked.
"How could I what?" asked Mason.
"You sent five Boomers to try and capture the cyborg," Quincy said.
"I was only thinking of what we could learn about him," Mason stated.
"Bullshit," Quincy said. "Don't try that again."
"But, sir, he could prove valuable to us," Mason said.
"ENOUGH," yelled Quincy. "You won't go after him again to test him again. He'll
be destroyed, got it?"
"Yes, sir," Mason lied as he left. Mason still wanted to test Robocop.

Knight Sabers HQ...
The Knight Sabers and Robocop arrived there. Priss and Nene headed for their own
ways. "Give me your weapons," said Sylia to Robocop. Robocop handed the Auto-9
and Machine arm to her.
"There," Robocop said.
"Linna, tell him about Genom and Boomers," said Sylia.
"Sure," said Linna. Linna and Robocop walked towards the door.
"After the Earthquake of 2034, Tokyo was rebuilt using Boomers built Genom.
Boomers are supposed to help people, but a lot of them go rouge. Sylia formed
the Knight Sabers to fight them. I'm latest addition to the group. I, sadly,
also work for Genom," she explained.
"Members of the company are involved, I take it," said Robocop.
"Pretty much," said Linna. "The armor are called hardsuits. They are equipped
with weapons to help us fight them."
"Who was the boy I met, while leaving?" asked Robocop.
"Mackie, Sylia's brother," said Linna.
"Family," said Robocop. Inside, Robocop replayed another memory.
"I want to be just like you when I grow up."
"Can you do that, Dad?"
"Something wrong?" asked Linna.
Robocop turned to Linna. "Nothing," he said.

K's Garage...
Nigel was working on a motorcycle when Priss came up. "Well, what brings you
here?" Nigel asked.
"Motor's messed up," Priss said.

A.D.P.D. HQ...
Leon was at the shooting area. The fact that Robocop had used bullets still had
him disturbed. "Why the hell would a Boomer use bullets," thought Leon.
Daily came in. "Still wondering about the 'Boomer', huh?" he asked.
"Yea," said Leon.
"Well, we don't know who made it or why it uses bullets," said Daily.
"Wong, I'm busy here," said Leon.
"Okay," Daily said as he left.
Nene came in. "Hello, Leonardo," she said.
"SHUT UP!!!" Leon shouted.
"Well, bye," Nene said.

Knight Sabers HQ...
Robocop was checking the history of Tokyo/Megalo City. He leaned back in the
chair he was in. "So, The cop I met and the Sabers are the good guy," he
thought.
Sylia came in. "The weapons are ready," she said. Robocop got up and followed
her into the training room. She handed him the Auto-9. "Fire it," she said,
pointing to a hologram of a Boomer. Robocop began firing it at the hologram. It
was firing laser blast at rapid fire pace. Robocop stopped.
"What did you do?" he asked.
"Upgraded your weapons," she said. "Try the Machine arm."
He removed his left hand and put on the Machine arm. He fired the machine gun
part of it. It also shot laser blasts at rapid fire pace. He then tried the
missile launcher part of it. It shot out energy blasts that caused explosions.
He then tried the flamethrower. The flamethrower wasn't upgraded. "I see the
flamethrower wasn't upgraded," Robocop said as he removed the machine arm and
put his left hand back on and his Auto-9 back in its holster.
"Well, that was already dangerous to Boomers," Sylia said. "Genom's been
experimenting with Interdimensional technology. I think that's why you are
here."
"Very likely," said Robocop. "Why did you bring me here the first time?"
"To test and save you," Sylia said. "Besides, you didn't seem like a Boomer."
"That's true," said Robocop.
"Look, Alex," said Sylia. "I'll try to get you back to your universe."
"Thank you," said Robocop. Then Robocop went back to the table he was on when he
was first there, undid the drills that held his helmet, put it on another table,
and went to "sleep".

Genom Headquarters...
Mason was in his office. He began to rub his neck when he felt something. He
picked it up. "So, the robot put a tracker on me," he thought. "Hook, line, and
bait."

K's Garage...
Nigel got done fixing Priss's motorcycle. "Here ya go," he said.
"Here," she said giving him the money it cost to fix it. She then got on and
left.

The Knight Sabers H.Q....
Linna was that Robocop was asleep. "Look, Sylia, I'm gonna go," said Linna.
"Bye," said Sylia.

Inside Robocop's mind...
Robocop was remembering sometime after the incident with John and the killer who
John killed. "Where are you transferring to?" asked John.
"Metro West," Alex said.
"Pretty rough."
"Yeah, well."
"Alex, the guy would have walked..."
"Don't say it."
"You're always welcomed to come back."
Robocop woke up. Sylia held a sling with two attachments on it and the Machine
arm. "Thought this would make it easier to keep up with the gun arm and hand,"
she said as she put the Machine arm on one of the attachments. She then put it
on the table that Robo's helmet was on.
"Thanks," said Robocop. He then went back to sleep as Sylia left.

Genom Headquarters...
Mason got on the commlink with a scientist. "I want Boomers all over the first
floor," ordered Mason.
"But, sir..." stated the doctor.
"But, nothing," said Mason. "GET IT DONE!"
"Yes, sir," said the scientist. Mason leaned back and smirked.

The Knight Sabers H.Q....
Robocop was having a dream based on a memory.

In Robocop's mind...
"They made this to honor him."
"No."
"Your husband is dead."
"No."
"I don't know you."
"This can't be happening."
Robocop woke up. He got up and grabbed his helmet. He put it on and put the
nails in place. He then grabbed sling that the Machine arm was now attached to.
He put it over his shoulder. He walked to the armory and grabbed some blasters.
He then walked to the garage and took a motorcycle. He got on and rode off.

The Hot Legs Bar...
Priss arrived. "Sorry, I had to leave," she said. "I had some business to take
care off."
"Let's start then," said Maxon.

A half-hour later, on a road...
Robocop stopped. He looked up and saw he was at Genom Headquarters. He got off
and entered. "Where are the executives offices?" Robocop asked.
"Top floor," said the guard.
"Where is the development lab that the Interdimensional technology is" Robocop
asked.
"Top secret," said the guard.
Robocop grabbed the guard by the shirt. "Where's the development lab where
Interdimensional technology is?" asked Robocop.
"B-basement," the guard said, frightened.
"Thank you," said Robocop.
"You're not going anywhere," said a voice.
Robocop turned around to see Mason and ten Boomers. "You're mine," Mason said.
"Yeah, right," said Robocop. Robocop switched from his left hand to his machine
arm and blasted all ten Boomers to bits. Mason ducked. He then got on an
elevator and headed for the top floor.
"Damn, better warn Qunicy," said Mason.
