The ripped up photographs of the power plant soon joined the torn pictures of the ore mines in the middle of the table. "Nice work, Romeo," Said Auto teasingly as the four sat around the circular table.
"I really shouldn't have said that," Rock muttered under his breath.
"You're right, Rock," said Blues sternly, "You shouldn't have."
"He was just playing along, Blues," said Roll in Rock's defense.
"Roll, be quiet and listen," Blues swiftly ordered. "Rock, by giving that Virtuloid an attachment to you, she's more than likely going to be hanging around you and your targets more often, increasing the risk of her finding us out. From now on, you will only speak to her and any other Virtuloid as a means of defending the secrecy of us and our operations. Is that clear?"
Rock hung his head. "Yeah," He murmured.
"Good," said Blues, ignoring the stares he gathered from Roll and Auto. "Now for the next target. Rock, take your pick."
Rock took what was left of the stack of photographs, and flipped through them again. "I don't know," Rock murmured, rubbing his chin. "I would like to take out the weather tower, but do you think Marie would be around there?"
"Yes, I think so," said Blues. "If you want to avoid Marie for awhile, then I suggest you focus on the hydro-electric dam as your target today."
Rock looked through the photographs again. "Yeah, I don't think Marie would like to hang around anything that noisy," said Rock, putting the pictures down again. "Auto, I'm attacking the dam next."
"I'll get the machine ready," said Auto, quicky rising. Almost as soon as he turned, Auto stopped. "Oh, Rock, I'm almost finished that adapter I was talking about. You want to wait 'till I'm finished and take it with you?"
"Out of the question, Auto," Blues said sharply before Rock could reply. "I want that gadget thoroughly tested before you install it on Rock. As for you, Rock, we can't afford to sit around and wait. And with that female Virtuloid thinking that you're her friend, she could be trying to track you down right now for all we know."
"Blues," Roll said meekly, "I really don't think we're that desper-"
"We've come too far to start taking unessecary risks, Roll," Said Blues quickly. "Auto, ready the teleport machine and start testing your device. Rock, you're leaving immediately." Blues stood up quickly, and walked past them towards the doorway. "Roll, man your station," said Blues, pausing in the doorway. "And Rock, good luck."
When Blues had disappeared, Rock, Roll, and Auto were stunned silent. "What's gotten into him?" Auto asked.
"I haven't seen him this on edge since," Roll paused, "Well, never."
"I think I know what he's feeling," said Rock as he stood up. "I lost everything but my life, and if I'm going to destroy Masterframe and restart everything, I'm not going to make any more reckless mistakes."
"Yeah, we have come too far to fail," Roll admitted as she stood up. "If we lose you, we can't just build another and start over so easily."
"I'll finish my adapter as soon as I can, Rock," said Auto reassuringly, patting Rock on his shoulder. "Now let's get you to the dam."
*******
Rock found himself at the foot of a long bridge. A raging waterfall roared underneath, and a small doorway lay in the middle of the brigde, leading into the main building hovering just inches above the falls. "Hey Rock, you reaady to level this place?" Roll's voice aske him inside his helmet.
"Sure am," said Rock, charging his arm cannon.
"Good luck," said Roll.
"I'll be needing it," said Rock. Charging down the brigde and into the doorway, Rock yelled, "Look out, Virtuloids! Here I come!"
As soon as his feet crossed the threshold, Rock was greeted by hordes of mechanical monstorsities inside the brightly-lit dam. The roaring turbines of the dam muffled out the furious firing of his arm cannon, shooting down anything that darted his way. Keeping his legs moving, Rock ran full speed ahead, always firing and never looking back as he rushed through the dam.
A jet-like drone sped past his face, whipping its wing across Rock's face. Rock yelped as he tumbled to the ground, skidding along the floor as the jet drone looped back towards him. Clamoring back to his feet, Rock began to charge his cannon, aiming the barrel at the speeding drone. Seconds before the drone sped into him again, Rock unleashed the energy in his arm cannon, shooting the drone down in a violent flash. Rock watched the drone nosedive into the floor and explode as he continued his mad rush into the dam.
Running as fast as he could with a swarm of more flying drones chasing after him, the buzzing of turbines inreased as he neared a large doorway, and Rock felt like his eardrums would burst. Gritting his teeth as the noise loudened, Rock could barely keep his eyes open enough to see a gaping pit in the wide room in front of him. Sucking in a deep breath, Rock leapt off the edge of the pit, rushing forward with an amazing burst of speed. Millions of turbines lined the floor below, and had Rock not willed his feet to jump again, he would have fallen to a tearing death. The double jump was just enough for Rock to reach the wall on the other side, and as soon as Rock clamped his hands on the wall, he began to slowly slide down the smooth steel. Looking upward, Rock quickly noticed a series of rafters suspended all over the ceiling. Coiling his knees, Rock sprung off of the wall, nimbly catching the edge of the closest rafter. Springboarding from rafter to rafter, Rock steadily climbed up to the ceiling, and an open door was a welome sight to his eyes once he reached the top. Leaping through the threshold, Rock's relief quickly turned to depair as another heavy shutter slammed down as soon as his feet hit the floor, sealing him inside the short hallway, opposite to yet another shutter. "Great," Rock muttered, readying his arm cannon again as he ventured towards the shutter. As soon as he neared, the shutter flew open, revealing to him a giant tank of water, spanning the entire room, with nowhere else to go but down inside. Ready to fire at anything at any time, Rock stepped over the ledge and dropped into the tank below.
The icy-cold water was a shock up Rock's spine, but he slowly began to adjust as the machines in his body quickly worked to warm him. Greatful that he no longer needed to breathe to survive, Rock let himself sink to the bottom of the giant tank, gently landing on his feet on the steel bottom. The echo of his feet hitting the floor bounced all around the water, and Rock opened his eyes. Rock was surprised to find that he could see just as well underwater as he could on dry land, and he readied his arm cannon. "Come on out, Virtuloid, wherever you are," Rock thought to himself as he slowly trudged along the bottom of the tank.
Rock looked up, down, and all around, and yet no Virtuloids were to be seen. "I wish Roll could tell me where this guy is," Rock thought to himself.
Suddenly, Rock heard a small whirr echo around the tank. Rock's eyes quickly focused on the middle of the floor, where a small hole had just opened up. And with a violent shake, the hole gaped open, sucking the water down. Rock struggled and kicked against the vicious current, powerless to stop himself from slowly being pulled towards the drain. Just as his feet were dangling by the edges, the drain suddenly shut closed, and everything was calm again. Looking up, Rock saw the surface of the water had dramatically fallen, and the lights overhead shone into the depths of the water much brighter than before.
Just as Rock began to wonder if there was a Virtuloid in the area, a sudden splah from behind him made him sluggishly turn around. Two quick blasts of current pummeled into his chest, and Rock was sent gliding backwards in slow motion. His shoulders hit the edge of the tank, and Rock slowly slided down to the bottom. Struggling to stand in the water, Rock locked his eyes on the humanoid figure before him. "Let me guess," came a slithering voice into Rock's helmet, "you're the Blue Bomber."
Rock was amazed. "How did he get his voice into my com system?" Rock wondered.
"Audio transmittor override," the voice repled a Rock studied the short, stocky robot in front of him. "Able to intercept and reply to any form of electrical communication. A rare gift of mine."
The Virtuloid began to kick his legs effortlessly, the large flippers on his feet gently propelling his green and blue clad body towards Rock. "And you're a Virtuloid, aren't you?" Rock thought back.
"Hydro's the name," thought the Virtuloid, looking at Rock from behind a mask and goggles as he slowly advanced. "You've got a lot of nerve attacking my dam."
"You've got a lot of nerve hunting down humans," Rock replied, charging his arm cannons.
"You must be malfuctioning more than everyone says you are," thought Hydro. "Let me put you out of your misery."
Rock grit his teeth, and aimed his cannon at Hydro. "Likewise."
Bracing his knees, Rock let out a gigantic blast of energy from the barrel of his cannnon, shooting through the water at Hydro. Hydro nimbly twisted to his side, hardly slowed at all by the water, letting Rock's blast smash into the side of the tank. The steel walls buckled, yet held firm. As Rock charged his cannon again, it was only when Hydro angled himself like a torpedo at Rock that Rock noticed tow large cylinders attached to Hydro's back. And after a loud hummung filled the tank, Hydro shot forward. Rock was too surprised to fire, and Hydro rammed his head into Rock's chest, crushing Rock against the walls. Rock winced as Hydro shoved a small tube strapped on his wrist into Rock's face, with Hydro snickering quietly. "Pathetic," Hydro thought.
Rock suddenly caught a grin. Willing his weapons to shift formats, Rock quickly held his hand to Hydro's face and thought, "Not so fast, pal."
Hydro's eyes suddenly bugged out. "You wouldn't," Hydro thought.
Rock grinned cruelly. "Really? Why wouldn't I?"
"The shock would kill us both, fool!" Hydro retorted. "Or don't you know that water conducts electricity?"
"I know," thought Rock, "But not if I'm out of the water."
Rock's hand suddenly switched to his cannon, and he let out a quick blast into Hydro's face. Hydro yelped and screeched as he was knocked onto the floor, and Rock crouched low. Putting all of his stength into his legs, Rock leapt upwards, shooting with amazing height through the water. As soon as he broke past the surface, Rock re-formed his hand, switched weapon format again, and unleashed a violent jolt of lightning into the tank. Rock splashed back into the tank seconds later, relieved to find the electrical current gone.
As soon as Rock hit the bottom again, he noticed Hydro shaking violently on one spot, trying to keep his balance. "Like that, Hydro?" Rock taunted, ready to spring back up to the surface again. Hydro was quick to overcome his shocked stiffness, and before Rock could crouch again, Hydro pointed at the drain cover and ordered, "Open!"
The drain suddenly opened again, and Rock found himself being pulled towards the hole again. As Rock struggled to fight the raging current, Hydro simply kicked is legs in the water and let his propellers spin, keeping him above the drain as Rock was only inches away from the opening. "Have fun in the waste cooler," Hydro sneered as Rock's toes began to slip under.
With nothing left to resort to, Rock willed his weapon format to switch again, and sprouted a giant drill from his cannon. And just as Rock was about to be sucked down the drain, he planted the drill into the side of the pipe.
The tank suddenly shook, and a loud whine echoed all around. The drain covers quickly sealed shut, and Hydro was left with Rock again. "Open!" Hydro commanded again.
When the drain did not open, Rock snickered and reverted back to his arm cannon. "Ready for more?" Rock taunted, firing two blasts into Hydro's chest.
Hydro was sent gliding through the water again, hitting the side of the tank and gently floating to the bottom again. Just as Rock was about to leap above the surface again, Hydro aimed the small tube on his wrist at Rock again, and a short, violent burst of current blasted against his chest. Rock was sent sailing into the side of the tank again as Hydro swam back to his feet. Looking back at the drain as Rock slowly fell to the ground, Hydro ordered, "Open!"
The drain creaked and whined, and the cover slid apart again. Rock barely found time to struggle against the current again as he tried to clear his head. "This time, you're going down the drain!" Hydro declared, watching Rock struggle to plant another drill from his cannon into the floor. The violent current tugged and pulled Rock, and Rock's anchoring was ripped in two in only a second. Rock struggled and fought with all of his might as Hydro continued to sneer and snicker, effortlesly keeping himself afloat. With his body rapidly tiring, Rock knew it would only be a matter of time before he lost his strength and was sucked down the pipes. "Come on," Hydro snarled in frustration, "just drain already!" Ready to cave in at any moment, Rock whirled himself around in a last-ditch effort, aimed his cannon, and shot another drill at Hydro.
The tip of the drill clipped Hydro's side, and his left propeller cylinder suddenly sputtered out. Hydro yelped as he and Rock were sucked towards the drain, and just as the water level was completely drained, Hydro's thick body slurped into the drain, plugging it completely a Rock slid gently into him.
"No fair!" Hydro whined aloud, struggling to pull himself out of the drain.
"All's fair in love and war," Rock taunted, kneeling down behind Hydro and placing his hand on top of Hydro's head and shifting weapon formats. "Of course, you're not my type."
With that, Rock let a jolting surge of eleectricity course through Hydro's body. As soon as Rock stopped hs electrifying assault, he felt his cannon begin to download Hydro's weapon system. As soon as his cannon stopped tingling, Rock stood up and eagerly switched formats. A large nozzle now pokedot of his cannon, and once Rock willed it to fire, a thick blast of water came shooting out with violent force. "Thanks, Hydro," said Rock. Raising is foot, Rock stomped on Hydro's head until he forced the stocky Virtuloid into the drain, and the tank immediately began to whine and violently quake. "Looks like I've jammed something important up," Rock said with a smile, holding his helmet close to his ear again. "Hey Roll! Mission complete!"
"That was quick, Rock," came Roll's voice in his helmet as the sides of the tank began to split and scream.
Within seconds, Rock was warped out of the collapsing tank and vanished.
"I really shouldn't have said that," Rock muttered under his breath.
"You're right, Rock," said Blues sternly, "You shouldn't have."
"He was just playing along, Blues," said Roll in Rock's defense.
"Roll, be quiet and listen," Blues swiftly ordered.

When Blues had disappeared, Rock, Roll, and Auto were stunned silent. "What's gotten into him?" Auto asked.
"I haven't seen him this on edge since," Roll paused, "Well, never."
