The air was dark and old. Faded greenish light poured from cracked lighting. Slabs of concrete had fallen off the walls, leaving the naked machinery. Designs of some caliber flashed upon the ground. Welcome to Mines 2 A.K.A where things get rough.
Chuih glanced back at the way they came in. Boy, were tings different on this side of the transporter. Sparks occasionally rained down from ill treated wiring above. Dust flew with every step. Hunter Chuih, in blue plastic again, MAG, in normal blue mode, and Ranger ChuBei, in yellow spandex, thought it was very strange.
"I think this is very strange." ChuBei thought in audio.
See.
"Looks like a scene from Terminator, or um…MDK2, or Robocop." Chuih rambled.
ChuBei looked at Chuih. "Robocop?"
"O.K, not Robocop. …Metropolis?"
"Which one?" MAG interjected.
"What do you mean which one?" Chuih asked his mechanical apparatus.
"Which Metropolis! You know, the classic 1920's American black and white Metropolis, or Osamu Tezuka's 2000 theatrical anime Metropolis."
"The anime. By that I mean all the grody parts." Chuih added.
"RIIIIGHT… Well, if we're going to answer the 20 questions, we should go." ChuBei stated.
"Hey! What about Hunter ChuBach?!" Chuih shouted.
"Oh! I forgot about him, I was too busy doing wacky antics in the first part." ChuBei mournfully addressed.
"Dude… Oh well! Let's go find another message machine!" Chuih happily completed the conversation. The other two nodded.
Finding a message machine proved difficult. These mines seemed to be missed all together by the infamous ChuPea.
"HEALP! SOMEONE HEALP ME!" A voice screamed. The triad gulped and glanced at each other.
"Uh…DO NOT WORRY! WE WILL ….uh, SAVE YOU!" Chuih called.
"ALRIGHT! COOL, THANXS! JUST KEEP GOING NORTH TILL YOU REACH A LITTLE COMUPTER ROOM! I'M IN THERE!" The voice replied.
"K." Chuih hollered.
After many treks and battle with the various Gillchics and their lame cousins, the zombified Dubchics, the Hunter party reached their destination. Upon opening the door, an awful surprise greeted them in the face.
"Hello. Would … you … like … to … play … a … game?" A digitized voice said as monotonous as Al Gore. Before the Hunters was a very large Bat Computer (y'know, the one from the Bat Cave. It was like, 50 stories tall. Ah shut up…)
"Gah! It's HAL!" MAG screamed.
"No, no. I'm Ben Stein, err… Calus, the computer! WHAZZUP?!" The computer, Calus, spoke.
"DooD! You're like an android who can't do anything! That's gotta suck!" ChuBei smiled.
"Ja dood. Here's what I need help with. I was doing some online chattin, y'know, in AOL Instant Messenger and met a girl; I think it's a girl. We became good friends and all, so like, yea. She's really worried about me after this whole, you know, disaster thing, so can you tell her I'm really a computer and stuff." Calus hmmed.
"Uh…when we get back, sure thing! Anything for a fellow pimp!" ChuBei winked.
"ChuBei, you're not a pimp anymore." Chuih growled.
"Oh. So what's her name?" ChuBei sighed.
"Elly Person." Calus said.
There were immediately stifles of laughter. The two space mice's cheeks puffed out as they tried to hold their giggles.
"What? What's so funny?" Calus asked.
Chuih tried to speak through fits of muffled giggles. "Ghmph…Nu-Nuthin. Hehe."
"You guys are laughing at something! What's so damn funny!?" Calus was agitated.
The three heroes immediately set to full blown laughter. Chuih fell on to his back, while ChuBei fell on his stomach, clutching his sides.
"BWAHAHAHAHA! Wheh…" Chuih wiped his sparkling eyes. "Alright. Elly …Mhpgh... Person."
"O.K…" Calus would have sweat dropped if he had pores. Ah, why not? Callus sweat dropped.
"Wheh…Almost as funny as pie. Say, getting back to business, what happened here? Looks like my old apartment." MAG got to the point.
"I-I can't really say… You see the entire network-"
"SEGAnet?" ChuBei interrupted.
"-No, the S.H.I.T network-"
"SHIT network?" Chuih interrupted this time.
Calus sighed. "Subterranean Heavy Industrial Tech network… has been infected by a nasty computer virus, the aptly named … Vol Opt."
A great thunder was heard and lightning flashed. The hunters instantly shivered.
"Yes, Vol Opt came in and set all the robots to destroy everything. Even myself is infected. I am fighting against him, but I am losing, and soon will become a pawn in Vol Opt's game…"
"Talk about a party pooper… We'll be sure to tell Elly …Peeerrrsssooonnn for you." Chuih said.
"Thnxs doods. Here, take this, it contains all of DR. OSTO's research." Calus's CD drive opened and a CD labeled Doc Osto's stuff slid out. ChuBei took it.
