File 16645: Rion's Awakening
Lilia stood before the capsule as it opened, with Rion's frozen body inside. It had been six years since Rion had launched the virus into Dorthoy's sytem, shorted out and died. Lilia was finally able to retrieve Rion's dead body back to life, through the backup data of Dorothy. She slowly approached Rion's body, and watched as his eyes slowly opened.
"Welcome back, Rion."
Rion's soft blue eyes tried to unscramble his blurry vision, as he finally locked eyes with Lilia. Smiling, Lilia walked over to a small computer, typing in a small code to release Rion's body from the wires and insertion plugs in his body that kept his body from deteriorating. "This will hurt some Rion ..." she sweetly replied. All of a sudden, Rion experienced a sharp shock to his body as the wires and insertions released their tight grip of his skin and resorted back to the sides of his body. Rion lifted his right hand and moved it about, finally retracting it itno a fist.
"Good ... it works." he replied.
Lilia looked away sheepishly, remembering that Rion was completley naked. Rion slowly sat up from his lying state, and looked towards Lilia. "Where ... where are we, Lilia?" he asked, as if he were a curious child. "We're in an underground base, which protects us from the Galerians ... Rion, we are still at war with our evolved technology ... with Dorothy." she replied in anguish, as Rion's eyebrows stitched in anger. "Dorothy? How can she still be alive if we implanted that virus into her?" he asked.
"Rion ... you must understand. You were caught in Dorothy's backup memory, which is how I was able to bring you back. Dorothy still lives. She has found ways of regenerating herself, through her children, the Galerians. Our war with them has increased ... Michelangelo City is now in ruins. We, along with the army, are the last ones fighting for our survival against Dorothy. If anyone can stop Dorothy and her Galerians ... its you, Rion. You ... are our last hope."
Hearing Lilia's words, made Rion wish he were back in his cold sleep. He had returned to a world worse off then what he left behind. In his mind, he cursed his father ever creating Dorothy, and cursed Dorothy for ever making Galerians. Yet then again ... he wasn't the real Rion. He was a Galerian with the downloaded memories of the real Rion. But his war was with Dorothy ... not the humans. Lilia, still with her back to Rion, gestered to Rion's side. "Your clothes are there ... get dressed. Then we'll talk more." she stated, walking away as Rion grabbed his clothes.

"So ... how many more Galerians has Dorothy made?"
Lilia turned to a dressed Rion as he approached her from behind. Lilia had been typing into her datastream on the main computer, Elaine. "Since you died, Dorothy's back up memory has kept her alive, leaving us no way to destroy her. She has created four main Galerians." Lilia opened a file on her computer, and magnified it on a large image screen in front of her and Rion. Walking closer, Lilia showed images of the last Galerians.
"There's Parano ... Nitro ... Spider, which infiltrated in your reoccuring fight with Dorothy in your back up memory ..."
"But ... I had killed Spider."
"No, Rion ... he had only fought you in Dorothy's back up memory ... his real body was nowhere in there. You destroyed his data that was exsistent in Dorothy."
"So ... Dorothy placed an image of Spider from her memory to throw me off course. She did it, to try and keep you from resurrecting me."
"That's correct."
Rion sighed heavily, feeling himself getting more and more frustrated with Dorothy's still present exsistence. "You said there was four last Galerians ... you left one out."
"The fourth one ... is the last and worst Galerian of Dorothy's creation. He is the most powerful and dangerous of the Galerians. He is what we've been hiding from and fighting for the past six years, and very few have survived. He was made by Dorothy to resurect her should her system crash. He's been searching for us ... to stop our research that can harm Dorothy and to make sure you can no longer hurt her. He's looking ... to destroy you completley Rion. He ... is Ash."
Rion casted his eyes down towards the floor, clenching his fist tightly in anger. "Lilia ... I will do whatever it takes. We have to destroy Dorothy once and for all." he replied. Lilia nodded her head, and turned her computer off. "Come with me ... we'll go to the main deck upstairs. We'll see our current situation." Lilia lead the way to the elevator as Rion followed, yet suddenly ... he felt a surge of power strike his head. It was as if he could feel the presence of someone ... a Galerian like himself.
"Rion? Rion, what's wrong?" Lilia replied.
Rion fell to his knees, holding his head as Lilia ran to his side. "Rion?" she asked again, holding his arms. Suddenly the pain stopped. Rion let go of his head and looked to Lilia. "It .. stopped. Lilia ... I felt the presence of a Galerian."
"Was it Parano? Ash?"
"No ... I didn't sense any of those four. I sensed ... I sensed ... another. Someone ... different then the others. I think ... they're might be another last Galerian ..."
"Rion ..."
