Chapter 2
*later that same day*
*Daniel's Home*
"Steve, have you seen Daniel lately?", Asked Esther.
"No dear, but don't worry. I bet he's just spending time with Johnny. You know how much those kids like to play that game station or whatever it's called.", Steve said calmly. He didn't even put his newspaper down.
"OK. But it still worries me. Daniel has never stayed out this late.", Replied Esther.
"Well, it's only ten o'clock dear. To teenagers, it's not late until you see the sun rise." Steve said now partially annoyed.
"Alright. But if he doesn't come back soon, I'll call the police.", Esther said.
"Fine, go right ahead." Steve said as he put down his newspaper and picked up the remote.
*Battle field*
"Holy crap guys!! We are getting killed!!", Said Hank.
"I know! ..............Crap! I'm out of ammo! Time to take this hand to hand!", Said Matt as he charged at the enemy forces.
"No, don't Matt! You won't be able......" Hank yelled, but before he could finish Matt was already a pile of scrap metal.
"NNNOOO!!!!!" Hank yelled. Soon after he was boosting toward the mysterious MT's who had presented such a challenge to those 5 skilled pilots.
Just then, an AC over boosted between Hank and the MT's.
"What the hell!? Who are you?!?" , Hank yelled.
"*It doesn't matter*"
Then the MT's started to attack the mystery AC. They unloaded a barrage of machine gun fire all at the same time!
The AC just shook it off and boosted toward the MT's. In one swift motion, the AC slashed downward at the group of MT's. A laser blade hit each of the 4 MT's causing a huge collective explosion.
The AC turned around to face the AC he had helped.
"Thanks a lot sir." Hank said gratefully.
"*It was nothing.*", a voice from the AC said.
"What's your name man? The arena could use someone like you.", Hank said.
"*Just call me Grizzle*", said the AC.
"OK Grizzle, nice to meet ya. My name is Hank. I owe you my life man.", Hank replied.
"*Debt Notified. Your assistance will be required later. Tell no-one you saw me here, and take the mission money for yourself. You can use it to fix up your AC, and buy newer, better weapons. You will need it.*", said Grizzle.
"Thanks man, But when will you need my help?" Asked Hank.
"*I will notify you when that time comes.*" answered Grizzle as he walked away.
*Daniel's Home*
"Steve, it's midnight. Can I call the police now?" Asked Esther.
"Sure, but the missing person needs to be gone for 1 day, not 8 hours." Steve replied.
"I'm calling anyway." said Esther.
Just as she picked up the phone and started dialing, the house started rumbling.
"What the.....!", exclaimed Steve.
"Is it an earthquake?!" Esther asked with panic in her voice.
"No! Look outside! It's an AC headed this way!!" Steve yelled.
Then the shaking stopped.
*AC Cockpit*
"* Destination acquired*
{[Internal dialog] *computer* "Daniel"}
*So this is home*
"Yes it is."
*It is smaller than my home*
"That's because you lived in a giant underground factory! Dummy!"
*I do not understand the word 'Dummy'*
"Never mind. Just get down from here so I can go see my folks."
*I'm afraid I can't do that Daniel.*
"Why not?!?!? You said I could go home!"
*We are home, but if I cut the human link-up now, then you could be damaged from the process.*
"So how can I 'cut the link' with out being hurt?
*We need to visit my maker. He will know what to do*
"NO! I want to go inside my home, NOW!!!!"
*That is not possible*
"AAAARRRGGGG!!!!!"
From the outside, the AC can be seen flaying it's arms around in a weird manner.
*Daniel's Home*
"Look at what it's doing now!" Steve exclaimed.
"Yeah, It looks like the pilot is having trouble with his new AC." Esther replied.
"Or maybe it's one of those old 2 piloted AC's and the pilots are having trouble deciding what to do." Steve said.
The AC then took off and flew away going west.
[Internal dialog]
"Where are we going!?!?"
*To visit my creator*
"And that would be where?"
*Latitude 140, Longitude 36*
" In English please!"
* That was English*
"I mean what town is it in?"
*Hanover*
"But that's where we just were!!!"
*Germany. Not USA*
"WHAT?!?!?!!"
*You want to be able to leave this Cockpit, don't you?*
"Yeah"
*Then settle down and hang on*
Grizzle's over boost then activated.
Looking down at the ocean was amazing! I could see whales swimming. Even the largest of them was dwarfed by Grizzle. This AC is amazing! I can't believe I took out those MT's as easily as I did. It was like the AC was reacting to what I was thinking. Maybe that's what that tube thing was for..........
*minutes later*
"*Destination acquired*"
Right outside was a mansion of some kind.
*This is where my creator lives*
"Well......don't just stand there! Call him out!"
*I do not want to scare the neighbors. I will call his phone and speak with him directly*
"You can do that?"
*Yes*
"Cool"
*dialing noises*
Person on phone: "Hello?"
*Hello master*
Person: "Who is this?"
*Grizzle*
Person: "Grizzle?! No! It can't be! You where deactivated!"
*Daniel has re-activated me. By the sound of it, I think it was by accident.*
Person: "Let me speak with him."
*alright*
Daniel: "Hello? This is Daniel speaking."
Person: "Hello, this is Dr. Williams. Do you realize what you have done?!"
Daniel: "No. But I want out! This Thing you made had attached itself to me, and I can't get out of it! You have to help me!"
Williams: "Foolish boy! You Merged with Grizzle?!?! I don't know if I can help you or not!"
Daniel: "Please! You have to help me!!! *starts crying* PLEASE!"
Williams: "Alright! Ok! Just stop crying! You're hurting my ears, boy."
Daniel: "Thank you sir! Thank you!"
Williams: "Hmmm.....I'll have to get out my really large ladder."
Daniel: "No, that's ok, I'll just lift you up. Just step outside and I'll take care of it."
*click*
Moments later, Williams stepped outside. Then Grizzle lowed his hand and Williams stepped up onto it. Grizzle raised his hand to where the cock pit is. The door opened.
"*OK, let's start this!*"
