Aaaannnnnndddd: STORY!!!!
CHAPTER TWO
"17, we have blocked off the exits to the five cities they are most likely in."
"Very good Delta. Do the droids know their orders?"
"Yes sir. The Gama droids in the cities will send out a transmission to the Delta droids around the cities if and when the Senshi strike. The Delta droids will call the Beta droids to reinforce the city exits while the fight is still taking place. When they are seen trying to leave, we will let them see how many of us there are and how strong they are, but we will not go after them or let them know that we have noticed them. The exits will remained blocked until you give the orders to withdraw."
"Very good. 18 and myself will be in the city taking care of the senshi ourselves. After we are done, you may continue to collect slaves."
"Yes sir."
"That is all. You may go now."
"Yes sir."
After the Delta droid had left, a figure stepped out of the shadows.
"I don't know whether I like it better to have droids serving us, or when we actually did everything ourselves. It was fun before. Now it is getting boring." It said in a feminine voice.
"Yes, this world has lost it's entertainment for me as well. But soon we will be able to find other things to occupy us." said the first android.
"That's true. And dealing with those pesky senshi should prove entertaining. I wonder, should we torture them or just kill them?"
"I was thinking we would make them slaves. They are more than strong enough. And to really make them suffer, they will be our personal slaves."
"Ha! Serving those they have sworn to get revenge on. I like it. They'll really hate that."
"I'm sure they will soon become submissive to us; we have dealt with defiance before, and we always manage to break it."
"Yes, this will definitely be entertaining...."
****************************************
Serena leaned back against the wall on the roof. They were on an old school roof, scanning the androids guarding the city. Raye and Lita were leaning over the wall with the binoculars, trying to count the androids and see what kind of defenses they had set up. Ami was busying taking readings on her pocket-sized computer, and Mina was trying to read the data over her shoulder. As the codes zoomed by, Mina blinked in confusion before settling down next to Serena with a sigh.
"I don't know how she understands that."
"Well, she is a genius, Mina," Serena said, closing her eyes. "She just has a talent for that kind of stuff."
About ten minutes later, Ami told the group that she had completed her readings. Raye and Lita said that they had gotten enough information as well. Without opening her eyes, Serena said "Report."
"I read about ten to fifteen androids. They are fairly low in power, but it will be hard to fight so many. However, we could break through their defenses and get away, I believe." Ami said.
"That would work," said Raye. "They don't have much of a formation, and they look kinda unorganized. It shouldn't be a problem catching them off guard." Lita nodded in agreement. Serena opened one eye.
"In comparison to the androids we've fought before, how strong are these?" she asked Ami.
"They are stronger than some we've fought, but a little weaker than the ones we've been fighting the past few months." Ami replied.
"Alright, then we'll see how strong the androids in the city are before we make a final decision. First, I would like to scout at least one more exit, just to make sure that it is the same." Serena said. "Raye and Ami, you too go do that. Lita, Mina, and myself will try to work out a rough plan. When you are done, meet us back here. Then we will go find the city droids."
The group split up to preform they're duties. Serena watched Ami and Raye sneak along the streets in the shadows. She always hated splitting up the group; she didn't like the thought of someone being attacked or captured while she wasn't around, but she thought it was pretty safe right then. Besides, the other girls had told her that they were ok going out by themselves sometimes, and not to worry about them. Serena didn't want them to think that she didn't trust them, but she still worried.
She turned her attention back to Lita and Mina and they started to work out a plan.
*****************************************
Raye kicked open the rotting door. The building, what ever it had been, was falling apart. She and Ami ducking under the collapsing door frame and into the building. They looked around for stairs, but couldn't see any.
"Great," Raye muttered. "How are we suppose to get to the roof without any stairs?"
Ami started coughing from all the dust in the air.
"Maybe *wheeze* we should find another building." she gasped.
Raye nodded and headed for the door. She was about to step out when she saw several droids flying towards them. She stepped rushed backwards and bumped into Ami.
"Raye? What—" Raye silenced her by clamping one hand over her mouth. She pulled Ami over to the wall beside the door and pressed her back up against it. She put her finger to her lips before removing her hand from Ami's mouth, and put her own back against the wall. Slowly, she moved her head closer to the doorway, and peered outside, The droids were flying slowly down the street, floating low to the ground. They were talking to each other about collecting slaves.
"Droids?" Ami whispered. Raye nodded. Ami pulled out her computer to get a reading. The droids passed and Raye let out a sigh of relief. She looked back over at Ami, who was still typing away at the computer.
"Any readings?" Raye asked quietly in case their were more droids around. "Yes, but it will take me a few minutes to decode them," Ami replied. Raye watched out the door for more droids.
"Got it!" Ami whispered a few minutes later. "These are actually even weaker than the others. More powerful than the ones were first fought, but easy enough. I think we fought them before, and they were labeled 'Gama' ... I think that is in reference to their power. For example, Delta would be harder the Gama. Alpha would be the strongest, besides the main ones."
Raye nodded. "That's good, we may be able to have a little fun here after all." She flashed a quick smile at her friend, before ducking out of the building. Ami followed, and they started creeping along in the shadows to another building.
"That one looks like it has a sturdy roof, and it's far enough away from the south city exit." Ami pointed to another building."
"Ok, come on, we'll get more readings from there."
*****************************************
"No, that won't work, what if we aren't near the South End?"
"Ok, maybe not."
"I say we just sneak over to the closest exit after we're done destroying some in the city, and we distract them by throwing a bomb. While they are checking it out, we get away. If we need to fight them, there will only be a few still there and we can just shoot 'em while we're running."
"That's a good plan Mina, but then they could catch up to us. They're faster than we are, and besides, they don't tire out like humans do. We need a way to either not be seen by them at all, or distract them for awhile so we can hide somewhere. Or destroy the ones that do see us, if there aren't too many, but then once the others see them destroyed they will guess what happened and come after us."
"You're right Serena. It sounds good, it just needs some work. Can you make more bombs today, Mina?"
"Sure! I'll get on them as soon as we figure out what we're going to do."
The three girls were still on the roof, hidden behind a wall. No one could see them unless they were flying, but so far they had only seen one droid, and it was flying low.
"Too bad Ami isn't here, we could have gotten a reading." Lita had muttered.
"Maybe they'll see some they can scan, or else we'll get it when she comes back. Don't worry about, Lita." Mina had said cheerfully. Serena had worried about Ami and Raye, but the other two reasoned that they had only seen one droid in the last hour, so there wasn't much of a threat. Besides, they were both loaded with guns.
Serena then started to worry that if they did have too fight, the guns would attract more droids, but she decided not to worry when Lita bopped her on the head and told her that they would be fine. She didn't want to annoy Lita. She was the cook. Serena chuckled at this thought, and the other two looked at her quizzically.
"Nothing," she said quickly. "Come on, let's get back to work on the plan."
Serena put on her relaxed and care-free look, but she couldn't shake the feeling of dread...
****************************************
"Same readings here than at the Western Exit," Ami said.
"They look even less organized than the others!" Raye snorted. "And I thought droids were suppose to be perfect."
"No, just the originals," Ami said with a smile. "The others are just cheap copies used against people who are weaker."
"Bastards," Raye muttered. Ami sent her a sympathetic glance. "Come on, let's get back. It's already afternoon, and Serena's probably getting impatient to start the fight."
They both grinned. Serena loved destroying droids. It really seemed like she had fun, which wasn't something they saw a whole lot otherwise. Sure, she was happy sometimes, but they never really got the opportunity for fun, except when they would stay up late chatting like normal schoolgirls. Sometimes it worried Raye that the time she looked happiest was when she was destroying droids, but she could relate. There wasn't much else to be happy about in their world.
She got lost in her thoughts as they headed back to the old school roof top. Ami had to pull her out of the way once when a droid was coming. After it was gone, Raye swore.
"Shit! I can't believe I let my guard down!!"
"It's alright Raye, it happens sometimes," Ami said gently.
Raye snorted. "Not really. You don't ever let your guard down in this world. Damn!"
Ami gave her a sympathetic look. "Thinking about Serena?"
"Yeah." Raye sighed. "I worry about her sometimes."
"Don't worry. She can take care of herself. And she has us. It's not a good life, but she's doing alright."
"I know." Raye smiled at her friend. "I just like to worry about my friends. Come on, let's keep moving."
Raye pretended everything was alright, but for some reason, she had a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach...
****************************************
"Ok, so we'll have no trouble with the droids in the city. Once we take out a group of them— we can't stay and fight too long, or all the droids around the city will be on our backs— then we will head towards the nearest exit as fast as we can, avoiding all other androids. When we near the exit we will scout the droids and see if there is any activity among them. If they were warned, they might by getting together to prepare for us, or they might head into the city to try and intercept us. If it's the second, we have no problem. If it's the first, or if they don't know anything and are still just guarding the gate, this is the plan:
"Mina and Lita will be setting off bombs just inside the exit and pretty far off to one side. Then they will go farther into the city as fast and as discreetly as they can. The will double back and meet us by the exit, at which time we will make our escape together."
"Hang on Serena; what if while you're waiting for Mina and me, you lose your opportunity to get through?"
"Then we get another plan. No one is going to be left behind, and I'm not taking any chances." Lita sighed, but knew better than to argue. Serena would win it anyway.
"Now," Serena continued, "If there are droids left guarding the gates, we will try to get past them, or destroy them before they know what hit them. If we see we cannot get out, we will try to use the distraction to get out another way. I know it's a rough plan, but seeing how they aren't that strong, the chances of being over-powered are slim. Does everyone agree with the plan? Any comments? Suggestions? Problems?" The others shook their heads. "Alright then. Since it's already late afternoon, I think it would be best if we get some rest and carry out the plan tomorrow morning. We'll stay in the school."
****************************************
An hour later, Lita was busy cooking with the food supplies they had brought. Mina and Raye were training together. Ami was typing away at her computer, gathering all the info she could on the latest droid attacks in other cities. Serena was off in a corner of the building, practicing kicks on a wall. All of them were thinking about the next day.
Normally, they wouldn't have been worried. All the droids were pretty easy to beat for them; normal humans wouldn't stand a chance, but they were much stronger. They didn't know why; they trained a lot, but they still seemed to be stronger than humanly possible. But still, this time they were worried. Not because the plan was risky; they had carried out much riskier plans before, and narrowly escaped death many times. But for some reason, this time was different. Though they did not mention it to the others, each of the girls had a bad feeling....
****************************************
Out beyond the city boundaries, beyond the range of Ami's computer, the Beta droids waited for their orders. The were tougher than those the senshi had faced before. They were the second strongest droids, weaker than the Alpha droids and the main Androids only. They were much stronger than humans, and unfortunately for the human race, they were stronger than the senshi. They stood immobile in their ranks. Unlike the Androids, who were human-based, the droids had no organic properties at all, so they could be made faster and they wouldn't rebel on their creators as Android 17 and Android 18 had.
As the moon rose high into the sky, they waited for dawn.
