"I represent the neo machina. You have one chance to surrender or be destroyed." The robot says.
"Neo Machina?" Diana asks.
"No chance in that. I only fight for the u s of a." Big guy jr. says.
The robot takes out its sword.
"Then you will work for nobody." The robot says.
-- Multiplicity --
"The man you are after. Poindexter. Man he isn't the one in charge." The man says.
"What?" Thorton asks.
"He's just a pawn in a larger more evil scheme." The man says.
-- Deux ex machina part 1 --
"So can I know who I am working for?" The machine master asks.
"You will merely call us by our designations." The second cyborg says.
"Number one."
"Number two."
-- The machine master --
"I am a representative of the Neo Machina. We will take back this city that was made ours many years ago. And we will do anything to take it back. Cross us and you will regret it." One says.
One's eye glows red before the signal cuts.
"Computer run a match on the signal." Thorton says.
The computer runs through and makes a match. The computer identifies it as number one of the legion ex machina. The same results are sent to the pit crew and Dwayne drops his cup on the floor.
-- Melissa's secret --
The beginning….
Big guy jr. and Rusty are fighting something. Big guy jr. gets slammed against a building by an energy weapon. Rusty gets flung back and fires on something unseen. A huge robot is revealed. Before Rusty's blast can hit it though a bunch of orbs come up and form an energy shield that easily absorbs Rusty's blast. Suddenly they change configuration and form one big line. A huge blast fires from the line and hits Rusty head on. He is flung back into a building. When he comes back out he has a dent in his head.
"Time to go hypersonic!" Rusty yells.
He shoots forward at a fast speed while Dwayne is fighting to get the bgy- 12 back up but the controls are pretty much fried. Rusty hits the barrier and is flung back again. He gets up and touches his head.
"That would of hurt, if I had any pain receptors." Rusty says.
Dwayne finally gets the outside speakers to work.
"Don't fire on it anymore son. It just absorbs your weapon fire and uses it against you." Big guy jr. says.
The robot just simply stands there as if it is waiting for something.
"Why is it just standing there? Maybe I can't do anything without outside energy." Dwayne says.
Melissa appears on screen.
"I did a scan on the robot and you're right. Its power source is like a solar battery in function. It doesn't have a power source of it's own but it is charged up with outside energy." Melissa says.
"So if we don't fire on it then it's useless." Dwayne says.
Suddenly the robot gets up and smashes it's fist into a building and energy flows through it as if it touched a power line.
"Or not. Uh this isn't good. The bgy-12 is down and even if it wasn't, none of our weapons are effective. Any ideas on how to not be destroyed?" Dwayne asks.
Melissa works on something and then shakes her head.
"I can't find a weakness. If this is from the Neo Machina then they have improved their robot making skills a lot since the legion ex machina." Melissa responds.
Dwayne gulps as he sees the robot face him and Rusty and power up its main weapon. Dwayne grabs the control sticks and fights with them.
"Come-on you old hunk of junk. Get up!" Dwayne grunts.
But there is no response. Suddenly a fast flash of light cuts through the robot and a second later it splits in half and lands on the ground sparking. Dwayne looks in surprise and sees a figure standing next to the wreckage. It appears to be a ninja in the usual black clothing. It cuts something into the wall then disappears.
"A ninja? Never seen one of those around here." Dwayne says.
He looks at the wall and focuses on what was cut into it.
"Ronin?"
Soon an airlift appears to bring big guy jr. back to the Darkhorse for repairs. Rusty is brought back to quarks. A serious meeting takes place on the Darkhorse.
"Today's battle brought the necessity of this meeting. As today showed the robots of the neo machina are far more powerful than the legion's and our weapons are not enough." Thorton says.
Everybody nods his or her heads grimly. Thorton sits down.
"I have decided the only hope we have right now is to recommission the bgy- 11." Thorton says.
"But wasn't that destroyed?" An officer asks.
"The remains were lifted from the ocean a year ago and it was since rebuilt. But we kept it aside cause we didn't need two. Until now." Thorton responds.
"Who's going to pilot it?" Diana asks.
Thorton looks at her.
"Oh no. Did you forget that I'm paraplegic and in a wheelchair? How in the hell can I pilot it?" Diana asks.
"I can modify the cockpit so you won't need to use your legs and the wheelchair can dock and sit behind you for easy access." Mack responds.
Diana sighs and then smiles.
"Fine I was getting tired of sitting around the pit crew and doing nothing." Diana says.
"Hey." Mack and Melissa say at the same time.
Thorton stands up.
"Okay as of this moment the bgy-11 is now officially back on duty as well as Lt. Masterson." Thorton says.
He shakes Diana's hand.
"Welcome back soldier." Thorton says.
Diana salutes him. Meanwhile at the Neo Machina base the last recordings of the robot are being viewed. The playback freezes on the view of the ninja.
"What is that?" Two asks.
One scans his memory databanks but doesn't find a match.
"I don't know but it did destroy our best robot." One responds.
"But the main weapon test was a success." Two says.
He looks back to another robot that looks exactly the same as the first.
"All the replacement needs now is a modification so that the ninja won't be able to cut through it this time."
Meanwhile Rusty is on patrol after getting his head fixed. He looks around and lands when he sees the strange ninja. He walks up to him but the ninja doesn't react.
"Hey you are the guy that saved us the last time." Rusty says.
The ninja doesn't say anything or even acknowledge Rusty.
"Thanks." Rusty says.
Rusty holds out his hand but the ninja still does not react.
"I haven't seen you around here. Where do you come from?" Rusty asks.
"I have no home." The ninja finally responds.
Rusty laughs.
"Oh come on. Everybody has a home. What's your name?" Rusty asks.
Suddenly the ninja screams in pain. His body goes into convulsions at such a fast speed that it appears that he has 3 heads, 6 arms and 6 legs at one time. The ninja raises his sword up prompting Rusty to get out of there.
"Who am I?!" The Ninja yells.
Rusty reports in at what he saw.
"Sounds like the same one I saw after the battle was over." Dwayne says.
"Ronin? Without a master." Melissa says.
Suddenly a blast knocks Rusty down. Another robot like the first appears. The big guy signal goes off.
"Don't worry Rusty. Help is on the way." Dwayne says.
"Don't fire on it remember." Diana says.
Rusty holds his head where the dent used to be.
"Don't worry." Rusty says.
Soon the two BGY's appear.
"Two big guys?" Rusty asks.
A conference is going on in the two robots.
"Any ideas on how to take this out?" Dwayne asks.
"From the data pulled it seemed like the shield can only appear on one side at a time. What If we triangulate the fire?" Melissa asks.
"That could work. Try it. It's the only thing we can come up with right now." Thorton says.
The big guy's stand on opposite sides of the robot.
"Son get on the opposite side of me and prepare to fire." Dwayne says.
Rusty flies over to the other side and readies his weapon.
"Fire!" Dwayne yells.
All three fire at once. Dwayne's fire hits the shield but the others hit the robot and cause a lot of damage.
"Again!" Dwayne yells.
But this time a 360-degree shield pops up and all the fire is absorbed. A devastating blast hits all three at one time knocking them down.
"Damn. What the hell?" Thorton yells.
"It appears to have a 360 degree shield after all." Dwayne responds coughing.
"Why didn't it use it until now?" Thorton asks.
"Could it be one of those kinds of robots that are adaptable? They learn from their battles?" Melissa thinks.
"If that's true then we are in trouble." Dwayne responds.
Suddenly the ninja appears and tries to slice down on the robot but is thrown back by the force field.
"It's him again." Rusty says.
"It worked. He can't penetrate it to cut it now." One says back on the base.
The ninja gets back up and looks at his sword. He raises it up and throws it at one of the shields. The sword hits the shield and seems to short circuit and brings it down.
"Rusty fire!" Dwayne yells.
Rusty fires over and over through the downed shield. After a few blasts the robot explodes. The ninja quickly disappears.
"Hey you forgot your sword." Rusty says.
He flies down to pick it up and notices something carved in the hilt.
"Ronin."
Back at the Neo Machina base one and two are outraged.
"I am putting a bounty on the head of this ninja. If any members see it you are ordered to destroy it at all costs. Repeat destroy this ninja." One says into communications.
"I can see he might be a problem." Two says.
Meanwhile in the city on top of the tallest building stands a familiar figure. He looks down and pulls out a new sword. He puts it back, jumps up into the air and disappears.
