Chapter 13: And the past comes back to strike!!
"What? Who are you? And, er, um, don't you think we should get some clothes on before we do anything else?"
"Ah, yes, I forgot that when I fire that weapon that it incinerates all clothing on me. Just a second. As for who I am, I am your better, Android 002!!" The girl turned around and clothes began to form on her. Jedi was wondering how she was doing it; when he began to feel his Space Force uniform materialize on him. Must be the nanobots, Jedi thought. They were amazing in my time, but these seem beyond even what I saw on Star Trek.
He was brought out of his stupor by a warning from BETH "She's coming to attack. I will try to regulate all of the repairs and power distributions, you just focus on battling." Jedi took note of that as he dodged the fist. Her weapons must also be offline. Well, at least that puts us pretty even. He continued to dodge, but he couldn't hit a girl, that had always been his number one rule. What was he supposed to do? Dodge until someone else came and helped him? No, he couldn't do that. She was just like him. She was only a girl in body, but it was obvious that her mind had been twisted.
He began to analyze her fighting style. Uppercut, followed by a power right, and a swift left kick. Well, at least that's something in my favor; she isn't coordinating on any one spot. Damage would be distributed. Looks like she is dependent on the right leg. That would have to be his target.
"Why don't you fight back? Are you that much of a coward? Hah! Why Black Ghost told me that you would be worth fighting, I won't know!"
Jedi gave her his answer. He dropped down, and delivered a power blow to her right knee. Another, and another. He kept focusing on the knee. He was able to deliver five quick blows before she was able to punch him and make him fall backwards.
"Hmm, you were just figuring out a strategy I see. I applaud you; you had fooled me into thinking that you were a coward. A person who wouldn't hit a poor woman like me."
"No women would be so insane as to try to kill without a purpose. You are going to try to destroy me, so that you may destroy all of mankind. That purpose just won't be good enough, that is only a stupid though, seeing as how you were a human once yourself. I should remember, I saved you those fifty years ago. That is what it is to be a part of the human race, that should be your purpose, to help others!"
"Up until now, I had forgotten that, but now all I have left is your death warrant. That is all that I want from you, your head!" She held out her right hand, and a ball of energy began to form.
Her weapons weren't offline, she was just holding back. What could he do, the accelerators wouldn't be online for a few seconds, and from the looks of it, there wouldn't be any chance of his getting her to avoid attacking him before he could run. That was the only choice left to him, he had to run. Without his lasers, he wouldn't be much of a challenge to this girl. She had the most aces in her hand, and that wasn't good for him.
"BETH! Status!" Instead of her reassuring voice, a small text box appeared in the bottom of his vision stating that the accelerators were at 92%, and that he was now able to go. Single shot rifle 1 was at 25%, enough to fire one shot."
One shot, that was something that could help, if he could just get in close, and take out one of her legs, it would be impossible for her to follow him. She would grow it back, seeing as how if she was also an android, she would probably also have the nanobots to help her.
" I see in your eyes that you are contemplating escape, well, unless you have some kind of trick up your sleeve, you won't be able to, I am even faster than you, and you but a mere flea on the face of the earth compared to me." The ball of energy was growing, it was now the size of a basketball, and she now put her hands forward. "Let me show you the attack that killed those pathetic cyborgs!" The pure energy now erupted from her hands, and began moving quickly towards where Jedi had been. "Where'd he go?" She began to scan the area, looking for him. All of a sudden her leg disappeared from view. "AH!!!!!! THAT SON OF A BITCH HE SHOT MY LEG OFF!!!!!!!!" She fell down and writhed in pain as Jedi began to speed off towards the base, towards the only spot he thought could be safe.
-------------------------------------------------------
"Sir, 0021 is requesting entrance into the base. He says that the others were destroyed by a...an enemy android sir. He also asks that he be examined fully, since he took heavy damage from the blast that took them out, and to see if he is also an android."
General Redding nodded quietly. He was back from the fleet. Well, he had had to return to Earth in an escape pod. The United States Space Force was all but destroyed. All they had managed to do was destroy a few ships. They had managed though to delay their arrival buy planting antimatter mines all along their course to Earth. But that wouldn't hold them forever. He began walking to the medical center. That would be where Jedi would be. He had to ask him what he thought he should do. Redding trusted him. He looked so much like his own son, it wasn't even funny.
"Jedi, good to see that you are still alive. At least something came out of this mess that we call a resistance."
"Tracy, er, I mean General sir, er, ah, I am so confused. I have so much that I need to take care of. Repairs to myself, warnings to everyone. Catch-up on the news. Might as we start with that now. BETH, find anything?" Jedi stood there for a second, listening to the radio recording from St. Louis. The world was falling apart. Slowly, but surely. The Dortde main fleet wouldn't have to fire a shot when they arrived. they would just have to walk in, and set up to their government. The blast that had destroyed the transport had come from 002. If she really was as powerful as she was, then she could have caused the blasts in the other cities.
"Who is this BETH? And where do you get the idea that you are an android?" Redding had a lot of questions for Jedi, but he knew that he must be exhausted and walked him into the medical bay, where they began their debriefing.
--------------------------------------------------
Herald of light: The cyborgs destroyed. Jedi in no way ready for a fight. The Space Force on its last legs. A new android prepared to kill with no mercy. The world's cities under the threat of nuclear holocaust. Will the world survive?
On a lighter side. I am going to start posting in sets, it makes it easier for me to upload.
