Chapter 6: The Virus
Location: Juggernaught; experimental hacking room
"All right Aileta, if everything goes well, well have proven the devise is a success, and defeat Sicron again." David said as he launched the assault hook into Sahatroe's mother ship, the modified Thornicon cruiser.
"But Sicron is should be able to shield himself from the explosion."
"Not really. He's in his Sahathroe body now, and he can't with stand that kind of blast." Aileta understood and stepped into the scanner. "Transfer Aileta, scanner Aileta, Vitalization!
Location; Sahathroe's Thornicon ship computer mainframe
Aileta assembled in the familiar white environment. "Aileta, was the transfer a success?
"10-4 David, everything is functional"
"Good, the system is a 100% successful transfer rate. The gray line of course leads to the tower, you're really close." Aileta had no trouble reaching the tower. Aileta entered and slowly walked toward the center of the rings, lighting them up one by one. When she reached the center she began to rise and eventually reached a higher platform. It lit up as her foot touched it. A few more steps and a screen appeared. Aileta placed her hand on this. The screen read: AILETA, then CODE DODRAINDO. But something happened then, the screens all turned fire red, rather than dropping into darkness.
"David something's wrong..."
"I'm on it...its...I don't know what it is." Aileta checked the screen again. Instead it read: CODE SNAKE.
"David, its Sahathroe, he's infected the program." Just then the screens around her shot out trails of red energy, binding and constricting her. Soon she couldn't even move or even speak, but she felt herself dissolving, materializing.
Location: Thornicon ship, scanner 26
Aileta opened her eyes to see that she was in a scanner. She thought that maybe David pulled her out of there. But the doors opened to reveal Sahathroe, smiling like only he could smile.
"Hello again." Aileta gasped at the shock of his presence. Sahathroe grabbed her neck and yanked her out of the scanner "I would have let you die on that old planet, but I discovered you have something I need from you, now. Jeremy overlooked something in his materialization program, something that makes you more than human. He didn't remove you synthetization ability, or you matter manipulation ability. But being physical give you new limits. You can make objects, yes, but you can also replace objects, delete objects, but most of all, transform objects. I tried to get your obidence through torture, but that didn't work. So let me make it simple; change my body into something powerful enough to destroy even Electrifying. And if you don't, I'll make you wish you were never born...and you know I can keep that promise." Aileta couldn't believe she still could do that.
Suddenly an alert on Sahathroe's computer screen. He dropped her and checked the monitor. He looked stunned as the screen told him...the scanner door closed, then opened again. David emerged with a pissed of look on his face. "Ah David, this works out perfectly." David felt something on his leg. He looked down to see three of the biggest Boa constrictors in existence. Without warning he was overwhelmed and pined to the floor. A single smaller red snake slithered up his chest and poised for a bite. "That one is my own creation, a single drop of its venom could knock out an Electrifying. I'm curious what it would do to you. Aileta...if you refuse my offer the first thing to go is David's life. Make your selection." Aileta was caught between the middle. She now, more than ever realized that she was in love with David, and he couldn't kill him off like this. But she wouldn't hand over the Void to Sicron either. After switching back and forth, Aileta made her decision...and hoped for the best.
(A/N: Uh oh, a cliffy. Well to find out how it ends you must read the final chapter: Time to end this war once and for all...again)
