Review response:
Silver meta Dragon: thanks for the review, give me just a few more chapters.
Black Phoenix: Sorry, well each aparoid has a different personality plus the rest is answered in this chapter.
Now for chapter 6
Human, Human, HUMAN LISTEN TO ME!
What?
How much longer human?
Don't know, Ajax doesn't usually make us wait this long, but look at the bright side.
And what is that human?
Free music.
Great.
Hey Jr.
What human.
You must have regained your strength by now, so why haven't you tried to take control again.
I can't.
What?
I can't take full control of you for some reason.
Really.
Yes human don't sound so happy, I can take full control for a few hours at the least at full strength.
While the two continued to argue as a young tigress approached them and asked, "You Zavis"?
"Maybe, who wants to know," Zavis asked giving the tigress a cool look.
"Ajax says he'll see you know," the tigress said coldly turning around and heading back to work.
About time.
No kidding.
The pair made their way through the nightclub till they reached a door near the back that was guarded by a pair of grizzlies. "I'm here to see…" Zavis began but the larger of the two grizzlies interrupted him, "we know." Zavis was a little taken aback by this but opened the door and continued into the darkened hallway. The two bears watched as the shadows swallowed Zavis up and the door slam shut.
"How long do you think it'll last in that hallway," the smaller grizzly asked.
"I give it a few minutes at the most," the other grizzly replied laughing.
Zavis walked down the hallway as the light from the doorway illuminated the broad hallway began to disappear. Zavis whirled around and released the restraints on his leg and flew toward the door. He reached it as it slammed shut causing him to slam head first into its metal frame.
"Great," Zavis yelled as he nursed his injured head, "time to get out of here." Zavis reached up and placed his hands on the door.
No wait human.
Why should I?
We need to get off planet and by now the military should be close on out heels. We need to meet your contact and get off planet.
Fine.
Zavis removed his hands and turned around as a low hum filled the area. A series of lights on the floor and ceiling sprang to life and flooded the hall with a light blue light. Then a loud voice boomed from all directions Zavis, it's good to see you my friend."
"Come on Ajax, do we have to go through this," Zavis asked he began to move slowly down the hallway.
"Of course, did you think I would forgive and forget what you did to me." The voice blared.
"Hey it's not my fault one of your little agents cracked in a police interrogation." Zavis shot.
"He had been dealt with," the voice shot back.
"What did do to him," Zavis asked thinking he might suffer a similar fate.
"Well lets just say he will be singing several octaves higher from now on," the voice paused for a moment before saying, "don't fear my dear little human you won't suffer that fate." Zavis gave a small sigh, "you just get to run the gauntlet again."
Great.
What, what is this gauntlet he's talking about?
It's how he tests new recruits.
So why are you worried?
I helped him design the new one based on how well I did when I beat it the first time.
So.
It knows how to beat me better than anyone.
Then let me take control.
Why should I you'll just take full control forever.
Please human, until I regain my full strength I can only control you for small burst. At any time you could more than likely take over again.
Fine you've got control of motion. I'll keep control of everything else.
Suits me just fine human.
Zavis slowly let go of control of his body as he felt Jr. begin to access his motor controls. Zavis stopped at a finger's length of letting go completely just incase Jr. attempted anything funny.
Your resisting human.
Sorry.
With that Zavis relinquished all control. Jr. quickly sorted through their body feeling what worked and what was tired and what was just broken as Zavis continued talking. "So Ajax, when do we start"?
"Now."
A quiet whirling sound came from their left as Jr. turned to see what it was a small opening appeared in the wall and a light hand gun dropped out of the hole.
"You know the rules Zavis. Reach me and you win."
"Alright lets get started then."
"Very well then," the voice suddenly cut out as small whriling sound could be heard from all over the hallway.
Jr. as soon as you touch the blaster the course starts
All right.Jr. reached out and let his hand hover over the blaster while staring at the empty hallway. I wonder he thought as he began to feel the value of the room. To his surprise he could feel the layout of the weapons of the room. Don't want to give away what we can do though he thought as he inched closer to the gun. When he laid a finger on the handle the room roared to life as several mini-guns dropped from the ceiling and opened fire. Jr. rolled to his right to avoid the small laser bolts that shredded the spot where he had just been. I can't avoid that again he thought as several blocks rose out of the floor. Best chance he thought as he made a dive for the nearest one as laser fire zeroed in on where he had rolled. Shoving himself against the block Jr. felt the mini-guns begin to unload on his cover. He could feel the block beginning to loss its integrity and he decided to make a break for the next nearest block. The moment the mini-guns paused Jr. jumped fired and rolled to the next block. With some satisfaction he saw that he took out one of the guns before the block blocked his view of the guns.
"Nice shot Zavis, but that's only one of the guns," Ajax voice boomed over the shrill whine of the mini-guns. Jr. peaked out to see where he could take cover next. Suddenly the guns went silent. Jr. watched and waited for them to start up again. When they didn't he stood and continued down the hallway. When he reached where the mini-guns had dropped he looked over each one carefully to make sure they were out of commission. Satisfied that they were dead he continued on. When he reached the halfway point a familiar whirling sound from behind him as the mini-guns came to life once again. Jr. dove behind another of the blocks as the laser bolts flew over his head. Well that was a dumb move on my part Jr. thought as e looked ahead to the door. Thinking to use the modified leg to just jump the rest of the way the hall seemed to read his mind as several thin red beams began to crisscross the remainder of the hall.
Well now what?
Give me back control.
What, you can't possible make it that far, you said it yourself that you couldn't beat this room.
I can beat this.
Fine but if you get us killed human I swear…
Shut up.
Jr. transferred control back to Zavis as the block they were hiding behind began to crumble under the pounding it was receiving; Zavis took the coat he was wearing and tossed it over to one side of the block. Instantly the guns focused all their firepower on the coat, Zavis then released all the power built into the leg and launched him self forward.
"You fool," Ajax voice boomed around the room as Zavis flew strait at the beams that covered the way to exit in a deadly web of energy. Zavis twisted in mid-air avoiding the first beams by millimeters. A large block shot out of the ground to impede the flight but Zavis twisted completely around and used the block to spring back at the mini-guns, which had just grown bored of shooting his coat. As they targeted Zavis he flipped over once again and slammed into two of the guns and used them to spring back toward the exit. He twisted and turned to avoid the lasers in front and in rear of him. When he neared the block that had tried to stop him earlier he twisted up and did a hand spring off of the top of it that propelled him through the final set of web beams. When he landed at the end of the hall he rolled to keep his momentum and used its force to kick open the door at the end. Zavis continued to roll into now open room until a large ornate wooden desk halted his progress. Trying to clear his head he looked up to see a fat raccoon standing over him with a blaster pointed at his head.
"Well don't Zavis too bad it's time for you to die…"
Katt couldn't believe what she was hearing about Zavis, he seemed like such a nice fur that it seemed impossible that an aparoid was inside his head. She turned to Fox and asked, "Will you let me help you catch him."
"Yea Katt, but you'll be branded as a traitor," Fox said with concern.
"I don't care, he saved me so I need to help him in some way," Katt said feeling pity for Zavis.
"Katt he's not human any more he's an aparoid," Falco began but Katt interrupted, "then the kindest thing we can do for him now is to put him out of his misery."
"Ok Slippy, Peppy, get the Great Fox into space and wait for order, everyone else lets go." Fox said and the team when to their various assignments.
At Corneria's military base General Pepper had fallen asleep as his desk awaiting reports of his scientists. He suddenly jerked upright and looked around. A soft black light shone from within his eyes as he laughed softly.
How close are you to the target?
Not far master, not far at all.
Good, is that worthless bag of flesh giving you any trouble?
No my master, his only rebellion against me is his longing for freedom.
That is sad to hear, I thought I told you to break his spirit.
You did sir but this fur is exceptionally strong, but I am getting there.
Good. I must cut this short my host is waking up. He should contact you in a moment.
Yes sir.
Pepper woke surprised that he had fallen asleep. He quickly contacted the aparoid in Wolf.
How close to the target are you.
Nearly their general.
Good keep me posted.
Pepper began to look over the reports on his desk examining the plan he had laid out, while a soft laughter filled his head, soon he was laughing with it.
Author's notes: Wow that was a really one-sided chapter. Anyway sorry you only got a lot of Zavis in this chapter. The next chapter will probably be the same way. I have a questions/requests for my reviewers. The whole Rosy situation was add by advice of a friend, my question, should she make it to Katina or should she stay on Corneria. It might not change the story much but I just can't decide. So thanks for the reviews give me a few more. Oh side note in the last chapter I use a 3 Doors Down lyric excerpt, I altered the words slightly to make it fit the moment, so in case anyone is offended or in case that could get me into trouble for some reason I now have given fair warning. Please review.
