Previously on Big guy and rusty the boy robot…
Later on Dwayne returns to the secret building with the device.
"Was the mission a success?" The general asks.
"It went sweet as sugar." Dwayne responds.
Dwayne is at a bar.
"Give me some gin." Dwayne orders.
The bartender prepares the drink. Dwayne looks over at the adjoining bar stool where a pretty lady is sitting.
Dwayne smiles at her and asks "Hey what's a pretty lady like you doing alone?"
The lady looks him over and just turns her head back. Dwayne gets angry.
"Hey didn't your momma tell you it's not polite to not answer?" Dwayne asks.
He grabs her and she responds by throwing her drink in his face. Dwayne keeps his grip on her.
"That hurt you little bitch." Dwayne says angrily.
Suddenly a big bruiser appears and Dwayne gets thrown out the front door. Dwayne lands hard on the ground. He gets up and brushes off his clothing. He scowls at the bar and throws a rock through the window.
"This body is great. I may stay in it forever." Dwayne says.
And now the continuation…
Melissa is walking home. Something tips her off and she stops and looks around. After seeing nobody she shrugs her shoulder and continues walking. Just as she passes an alley a hand reaches out and pulls her in. Before she can scream a large hand covers her mouth.
"Stay quiet if you know what's good for yah." The voice says.
Melissa bites hard into his hand and throws him over her shoulder. To her shock the guy does a flip and lands on his feet. In a speed that doesn't seem possible he rushes forward and grabs her head. He then slams it against the wall until she is unconscious.
"Over here!" The guy yells to someone.
A car pulls up and the side door opens. The big guy drags Melissa into the back seat. Then the guy jumps into the front seat and the car takes off. The car approaches a large building on private property. The gate opens up and the car pulls inside. After parking the two guys get out and drag Melissa into the building. She gets thrown into a dark room. After a few hours she moans and wakes up. She looks around and tries to get any features but the room is too dark.
"Hello?" Melissa calls out.
"Hello Melissa." A voice says.
Melissa looks around for the source but still can't see anything.
"What the hell do you think you are doing kidnapping me? I'm part of the military and they will bust your ass if you don't let me go." Melissa threatens.
"I know your dirty secret." The voice says.
Melissa's muscles tense up.
"I know you were involved in an illegal operation when you were a little girl." The voice continues.
"I don't know what you are talking about." Melissa denies.
The voice laughs.
"You must have remembered by now. All the genetically engineered humans remember by young adulthood." The voice says.
Melissa doesn't respond and tries to break the bonds but they are too strong.
Suddenly a tube injects into her arm and she screams in pain. After a few seconds it pulls back out.
"It's useless to deny it. The DNA scan just confirmed it." The voice says.
Melissa suddenly falls forward as the restraints are released. She stands up and looks around.
"Why can't I see anything? Night vision should give me something." Melissa wonders.
"You can't see anything cause even genetically enhanced night vision requires even the tinniest light source. This room has been blocked off all light." The voice says.
Melissa is surprised he knew what she was thinking.
"Got a light?" Melissa asks.
Suddenly the lights come on, blinding her but she quickly adapts. She looks around the room for some answers but it is pretty barren. It doesn't even seem to have a door.
"Is that better?" The voice asks.
"What do you want with me?" Melissa asks.
Suddenly a piece of the wall slides open and a man steps through. But something tells Melissa that this isn't the same man that has been talking to her. The man gets in a defensive stance and Melissa knows her purpose. To fight.
The next day Dwayne returns to work.
"We finally have a replacement weapon for the main cannon that was ripped out. I want you to test it today." Thornton asks.
Dwayne seems really excited, more than he usually would but Thornton doesn't notice it. Dwayne gets docked with the bgy-12 and is catapulted out onto the deck. At first the bgy-12 moves like a beginner is piloting it. Mack frowns at that but doesn't say anything. But soon Dwayne gets control of it.
"This is great." Dwayne comments.
Thornton frowns at that comment.
"Err are you okay Lt.?" Thornton asks.
"I'm great. I haven't felt this good in my whole life." Dwayne comments.
This deepens Thornton's frown. He enters the pit.
"Have you noticed Dwayne acting strangely today?" Thornton asks.
"Took you long enough. Something is definitely different about him. Did you notice how he handled the piloting like a beginner at first?" Mack asks.
Thornton thinks for a bit. He looks around and realizes something.
"Hey where's Melissa?" Thornton asks.
Mack looks around.
"I was wondering that myself. She never showed up this morning. Thought maybe she called in sick." Mack responds.
Thornton goes over to the communications console.
"Try to get a hold of Lt. Masterson." Thornton orders.
The officer calls her home but no answer. He tries her communicator but also no answer.
"This isn't like her. I mean I haven't worked with her for a while but she's a good girl. She'd of checked in by now if she was sick." Mack frowns.
Meanwhile outside the bgy-12 is doing back flips and cartwheels. But nobody notices as they are all intent on finding Melissa.
"Let's see what kind of payload this baby has." Dwayne says.
The missile launcher comes out the arm and a bunch fires into the water, causing a bunch of waterspouts. Thornton remembers the test and gets back to Dwayne.
"Okay Lt.. It's time to test the new weapon." Thornton says.
The target appears on the screen in the cockpit.
"The dummy target is made up of the strongest material that we know of. If the weapon is any good then it will destroy it." Thornton says.
Dwayne doesn't lock on right and the weapon fires on nearby abandoned oilrig that lights up like the fourth of July.
"Okay it works." Thornton says.
Dwayne finally lands the bgy-12 and returns to the pit. Thornton approaches him angrily.
"Lt. What the hell was that out there? You were acting like rookie." Thornton asks.
"Hey chill. I'm just a bit off today." Dwayne responds.
Meanwhile Melissa is combating the stranger. He does a spin kick, which she ducks. She does a ground spin, which he jumps over. He snaps his forehead forward which she meets. They continue for a while and neither gets the upper hand. Suddenly a window slides open and a man on the other side claps. Melissa suddenly rushes for the window and tries to break it, but cannot.
"Oh come on now. Did you really think it would be that easy to get to me?" The man asks.
Melissa recognizes the voice as the one that was talking to her earlier.
"Who are you?" Melissa demands.
"I'm just like you. I also was genetically engineered when I was young to be a super soldier. I believe that they called me brain dead and that I would never live off of a life support system." The man says chuckling.
"I was not engineered to be a super soldier. It was done to me so I could function on my own and have a life." Melissa says.
The man laughs.
"For being so smart you sure are ignorant. Do you think the black market cares about healing retards? No it was just a cover to breed a race of super soldiers to be used if needed. It was unfortunate that it was exposed and a lot of babies were taken and reverse engineered. But a lot of them escaped. My parents found out ahead of time and escaped the country." The man says.
Melissa frowns.
"What do you want with me?" She demands again.
"20 years ago a crop was sowed and now it's time to reap it." The man responds.
Suddenly the room fills with gas and both Melissa and her opponent quickly fall the ground unconscious.
That night Thornton orders surveillance in Dwayne's room.
"I don't know what's going on but I don't like it one bit." Thornton says.
The next morning Dwayne gets up and runs into the main room. He stops when he sees Thornton watching a video of his room. On it Dwayne is dancing around happy.
"I love this body. I will never give it up." Dwayne says on the video.
Thornton pulls his weapon when he sees Dwayne.
"Who are you and what did you do with the Lt.!" Thornton demands.
Suddenly Dwayne bolts from the room.
"Follow him, do not repeat do not fire on him unless you have to." Thornton yells.
Soldiers arm and chase after him. One runs down the hallway just to be yanked aside by Dwayne who was hiding. Dwayne takes out a device on his hand and touches the soldier. Suddenly Dwayne goes limp and the soldier looks around. The soldier smiles. A bunch of others run by.
"There I just saw him running down there!" The soldier yells.
The others rush as the soldier returns to Thornton.
"Soldier why aren't you looking for Dwayne?" Thornton demands.
"Sir I found him." The soldier responds.
He leads Thornton back to Dwayne's body.
"What the hell?" Thornton says when he sees the body.
Suddenly the soldier touches his hand to Thornton. The soldier goes limp. Thornton picks up both bodies and drags them into a closet. He looks down at his uniform and sees the General rank.
"Finally I have a body with some power." Thornton says smiling.
Melissa wakes up strapped to a chair again. She looks around but sees nothing but glaring lights above her.
"Welcome back." A voice says.
A helmet is placed on her head. She tries to resist but is too weak to.
"What did you do to me?" Melissa asks weakly
"Just a simple drug to make you as weak as a kitten. For now of course." The voice responds
Suddenly a tube goes into her mouth. Melissa tries to scream but a liquid pours into her through the tube. She gags on it.
"Just relax. You won't drown but only if you don't fight it." The voice says.
After a few seconds of gagging and feeling like she is drowning suddenly she can breathe the liquid as if it was air.
"Your vital signs are normal. Excellent." The voice says.
The tube pulls out and Melissa closes her mouth.
"Why?" Melissa asks.
But instead of receiving an answer a pair of visors snap down over her eyes. A series of images start flashing over her eyes. Violent images of war and killing. Melissa tries to fight it at first but eventually stops fighting it.
Thornton arrives on the deck.
"I want a helicopter now." Thornton orders.
"But what about Dwayne?" The soldier asks.
"Just do it!" Thornton orders.
The officer calls for a helicopter, which quickly arrives and lands. Thornton approaches the helicopter but suddenly freezes up. His left eye twitches and his pinky finger starts to move.
"Are you okay?" The officer asks.
He looks at the moving pinky finger and something clicks. He watches it for 30 seconds and suddenly pulls his gun.
"Raise your hands above your head now!" The soldier yells.
Thornton begins to raise his hands but suddenly barges the officer catching him off guard. The officer is knocked down to the ground. A bunch of officers show up.
"That isn't really Thornton. Stop him!" The officer yells.
The others look confused.
"He's lying he's a spy!" Thornton yells.
The officers look back and forth.
"What are you going to believe me or him?" Thornton asks angrily.
Thornton yells and points his gun. He fires at one of the officers and the others shoot the gun out of his hands. Dwayne finally comes out of it and busts out of the locker. He looks around and sees the commotion on the deck. He sees a device on Thornton's hand and remembers a similar one in the old man's lab. Dwayne rushes Thornton and slugs him. He takes out a small device and presses Thornton's device hand onto it. Almost immediately text begins to appear.
"What the?" The text says.
"Game over." Dwayne says.
Dwayne smiles and smashes the device beneath his foot. Later on Thornton demands an explanation.
"I can't tell you of the mission I was sent on but the man I met there had some kind of device that allowed his essence to go into other bodies and take control of them. He used mine to become immortal." Dwayne responds.
Thornton shakes his head.
"That was brilliant sir. Tapping Morse code with your pinky. You were lucky I knew of that technique." The officer says.
"What?" Thornton asks confused.
"You don't remember that?" The officer asks.
"My subconscious must of taken brief control." Thornton responds.
Melissa wakes up and finds herself lying in the same alley she was taken from. She gets up and walks out.
"Why did you let her go?" A voice asks.
"Because I did everything that was needed to be done. She has no inhibitions now. She will be a true soldier." Another voice responds.
Suddenly a mugger jumps out.
"Give me all your money now!" The mugger yells.
Melissa suddenly drop kicks him and snaps his neck.
"We have reaped what we sowed." The other voice says.
Epilogue...
Dwayne's journal is lying open next to his bunker.
"I am giving him power when I'm in him. But I sensed some of his own."
Dwayne is at a bar. A tough looking guy picks on him.
"Pent up anger that has been stored for years."
Dwayne looks at the man coldly picks up the bar stool and smashes it against the guy's head. The man falls to the floor.
"I've released it."
