Ch. 3: Arik the Pirate
Harry was rummaging through his cupboard for his missing watch. He was sure that he left it on his shelf by the bed, but it was nowhere in sight. Oh for god sake, where did it disappear to? Mira better not have taken it!
He went over to his sister's glass storage and looked through the many watches she had collected. He saw his watch at the very end of it and growled. "Oh very funny sis!" he yelled all the way downstairs. He heard Mira snicker and grinned when he heard her choke over her cereal. He grabbed the key from her pillow and unlocked the case, retrieving his watch. He joined his sister downstairs. "Why oh why do you do that all the time?"
"Just a game, she replied, and a chance to see that again." She pointed at his sour face and laughed.
Harry grunted. "Oh whatever. I'm off!" He grabbed an oatmeal bar and walked out the door.
Mike was already up and heading to work, yawning as he passed the testing center. He was bored to keep seeing the same sights over and over again, but it couldn't be helped. All he had to worry about was his next assignment which he wasn't looking forward to since he was still tired.
When he reached the office, he saw Marcia was already there like always. "Good morning Marcia," he said.
"Good morning to you too, she replied, and Harry's still not here yet."
"That's strange. He's always here before me."
"Not today", grunted Harry who walked in.
Mike gave him a glance. "What took you this time?"
"My sis pulled a fast one on me and I didn't have time for breakfast." He slumped on to the sofa to take a breather. "Man I'm glad this thing's still here."
"Then why don't you just move in here and sleep all day?" Marcia teased. She only got a small grunt and turned to Mike who shrugged. She felt sad upon turning to him; her face resembling the depression she suffered for awhile.
Unfortunately for her, Mike took notice of it. "Hey, something wrong?"
She only turned away. "N-no, I'm fine, everything's fine."
Mike wasn't giving her any look of compassion, but rather, one of disappointment. Harry did the same. "Come on Marcia, he said, both of us know that face well enough. What's wrong?"
"Really, it's nothing." She was getting flustered and growing gloomy at once. It was a lie to say it was nothing, but she herself didn't even know why she felt this way.
Mike felt it partially and decided to let her be. He sat down on the sofa across from Harry. "You know, I think that those guys could be other members of "Z".
Both hunters stared at him. "How's that?" Harry asked.
"Because of how they us illegal weapons. I think they are trying to obtain Rahu by using them."
"It does make sense to use illegal parts to fight Rahu," Marcia pointed out.
"That's right, and "Z" is the only group that made so many," Harry added.
Mike nodded again. "It's just a thought, but it makes the most sense."
"Actually, I have more proof of it to be true." Harry and Mike turned to Marcia who had spoken. "My brother knew that man, Volk, from the other day. He said he was his friend from "Z", and another person loyal to Mike's father."
"Mike's father? That's strange, because if that were so, why did he attack us?"
"He was attacked first Harry, Marcia reminded, so he had to defend himself. And besides, I don't know for certain. Sergei also told me that he fled with some men after Mike's father died who opposed Oboro and Eliza. They were few in number, and needed to get stronger if they wanted to overtake them."
All 3 sighed. "Hey, where did Ernest go anyway?" Mike asked. Both Harry and Marcia shrugged so he walked to the door, knocking. "Hey Ernest! Open up already; we're all here!"
No answer came. He turned back to them and Harry immediately got up. "OPEN UP COFFEE SUCKING, POETRY WEAVING, CHEAP SALARY MORON! WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU FOR AGES!
He still didn't get an answer and slammed the door with his hands. Marcia sighed before noticing Ernest's cell phone on the desk. "Hey, he doesn't just leave this when he leaves."
She opened the phone and found a note in it. Mike and Harry looked over her shoulder as she read it out loud:
Hey guys. I'm going to be busy with a new tournament going on later today, and I didn't want anyone to bother me. I've signed you guys up as well even though you're Class-S anyway. We still need good publicity for Steel Hearts since we're still low on jobs, and I know you'll actually enjoy this one. Haul your butts over to the Gym. I'll meet you there.
Ernest
Mike and Marcia blinked, but Harry fumed. "Another freakin' tournament? Can't the guy ever give us a break on these days? And what does he mean, 'enjoy'? I'd sooner enjoy the police squad!"
"I don't think he would've left like this without telling us over the phone anyway," Mike informed.
"Yeah, he must be expecting something good, said Marcia, folding up the note.
"Oh, who cares? I'm not going and that's that!"
Marcia gave him a glare, but Mike grinned. He figured out a way to play this game. "What about the ladies Harry? They'll all be disappointed if you aren't there. Maybe Ernest left early so he and Linda could fight together again."
Harry suddenly flew into a rage. "ARGH, THAT ERNEST! LINDA IS MINE, AND MINE ALONE! NO ONE CAN HAVE HER, BUT ME! I'M COMING LINDA!" And he rushed out the door. Marcia gave the laughing Mike a weird glance before laughing herself.
"Bad idea yet very effective, she said.
Mike let out another laugh and followed Harry out the door with Marcia in tow.
Sergei walked out of headquarters to his house; he was given a break for the day for his large share of work and was hoping to spend some more quality time with Marcia. His mask was still on and never came off since he put it back in place.
As he walked, he heard someone in the bushes next to him. He stopped, ready to dive if he had to.
"It's been a long time old friend." A man in a black robe stepped out from his hiding place. Sergei's eyes widened.
"It can't be. You're still alive?"
"I was sure you would've heard to new of my attack yesterday."
"I did, and now I see. My sister told me about you Volk."
Both bunches of hair were still weighed down with no wind, and it only made Volk's face all the more mischievous. "Your sister? Who-"
Then he understood why she looked familiar. "Siblings! What a surprise Sergei! And I must say you have a beautiful and strong sister."
"You didn't come here to chat did you?" Sergei's response only made Volk frown. It was simple to tell that he was right.
"I'm afraid not old friend. I'm here to hunt down that sister of yours and add her to my ranks. Of course, I would welcome you back as well with open arms, but my master wouldn't after he heard to new of Oboro's betrayal."
Sergei's visible eye blinked with his other. "And why is that?"
"He has become like them, greedy and corrupted. He wants Rahu for himself, as well as powerful commanders, such as your sister."
"If you think I'll hand her over, you can think again Volk. My sister is not like him." His eye darkened. Volk only shrugged.
"Orders are orders Sergei. And for now, I can't disobey him. I have not the power to defeat him, and I don't want to see more people fall to Rahu's wrath."
"Then leave him and come to us."
It was Volk's turn to burn sanity. "I will not abandon my duty Sergei. I can't escape him anyway, no one can. I can't stick around any longer, goodbye." And with a flick of his cloak, a flash bomb erupted, blinding Sergei who covered his visible eye. As expected, Volk was gone.
I suppose I'll let things go on their normal course, he thought, after all Volk, you must still fulfill your duty to be free. You were always like that.
Underneath his mask was his expression of a smile as he walked.
Ernest was having a good long session of yelling at Harry after he swore at him so badly while Mike and Marcia watched and sighed.
Harry turned to Mike. "IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT! YOU TOLD ME LINDA WOULD BE HERE!"
"I never said she would be here Harry. I said she might come to fight with Ernest in case it was a 2-on-2 match. Guess it isn't."
Harry only hung his head. "Argh, why me? Why?"
Mike and Marcia only laughed while Ernest gave a loud: "HMPH!"
Mike suddenly caught a glimpse of a battle and turned to watch. Something was very strange. He had never seen a Robo like the one he saw in there. It was that against a Javelin with a Dragon Gun, a Wall Bomb, a Seeker Pod, and a Feather Leg set. The other Robo had the Eagle Gun, a Titan Bomb, the Reflection Pod, and Short Thrust Legs.
But it wasn't just the Robo that caught his attention. The holosseum was also very strange. Before he could examine it, he saw the unknown Robo swing from a rope and fire the Eagle Gun in the air. The shots lingered, but the Javelin didn't watch them. It fired the Dragon and Seeker Pods, both of which did nothing. The Robo jumped off the rope and began a series of hard maneuvers in the air.
A tricky flyer type, Mike thought, but which one is it?
He didn't have time for an answer because the Eagle shots began diving down at the grounded Javelin. It quickly vanished to avoid them, but it reappear right in front of the enemy Robo. That Robo fired the Titan right in its face and dived down to avoid getting hit. Then it fired the Eagle as fast as it could and the Javelin fell before exploding. It was an amazing performance to Mike and he really wanted to fight this guy in the tournament.
Both of the commanders pulled out from the dive and the losing one immediately ran off, crying. Mike watched him go, confused.
"He's just another loser."
The winning commander, who was a young boy, walked up to him. He had red hair that had a few spikes growing upward and to the side. His clothes were composed of red shorts and a black vest with a white shirt, and his eyes were black. He snickered. "They're all losers. Everyone I've fought is a loser."
Mike was angered by his rude mouth. "What makes you say that? Losing doesn't make you a loser."
The boy turned to him. "And how would you know that?"
Mike fumbled for an answer. "B-because-losing is not the end of the world. You always have to chance to realize your mistakes and make up for them. Everyone's a winner when they think like that."
The boy only scowled. "Think that all you want, but a loser is a loser. Maybe I'll prove it to you when we fight, if we fight."
Mike's eyes burned. What a brat! I guess I'll have to put him in his place! "Why wait? Why don't we fight here and now?"
"I'm not wasting my energy on a loser like you."
"Then how would you know I'm a loser?"
Mike got his full attention at last. "You really don't know how to respect people, no matter if they win or lose. Looks like I'm just going have to make you!"
To his surprise, the boy smiled. "You know, I like you a bit. That aggressive attitude, your style of appearance, yeah, I think you'd be an interesting commander. My name's Arik. I'll see you in the finals, if you manage to live out that long."
Without even waiting for a response, he left Mike standing there. Just when he felt like pounding him, Ernest put his hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry about him. Just focus on the matches and you'll be fine. He'll be surprised to see you at the top when he's on the bottom."
Mike turned. "Ernest."
He couldn't say anymore because Sophie had stepped out. "Alright people, it's time to begin the tournament! Before I do though, I'd like to introduce to old champion of our last tournament! Please give a big hand for Mike!"
She presented him in a standard style of waving her hand over. Mike only scratched his head without much enthusiasm. When he saw Arik flinch in surprise, he grinned. That'll make it all the more sweeter, he thought.
"Alright then, I'll present the first round contestants: Ernest versus Harry!"
"Ha! This will be easy!" Harry shouted.
"Then we also have Mike against Paul!"
Mike turned to a boy who suddenly stepped back into the bar. It was an amusing sight and hard not to chuckle.
"Marcia takes on Gary! Followed by Arik and Rena!"
The list went on for awhile and finally it finished. "Very well then!" Sophie yelled. "First 5 doubles take your positions!
Mike was still surprised that Paul was extremely nervous. "Hey, don't get so rushed, he advised, or you'll lose for sure."
"Yeah, right, Paul said.
"Come on, let's go!" Both of them dived and likewise with the others, except for Harry and Ernest who were glaring at each other like their was no tomorrow. Finally they dived and the battle started.
Harry's Glory popped out with the Flare Gun, the Tomahawk G, the Spider G, and Stabilizer Legs. He was able to see Ernest easily because the arena was Sudden Death. The Metal Bear Ernest used had the Shotgun, the Gemini, the Ground Freeze, and the Formula Legs.
Harry was going to start it out with a Tomahawk, but Ernest had already fired the Gemini and he had to move forward to evade. The Metal Bear turned and fired the Shotgun which almost hit Harry dead on, but he ducked and only got blasted on the head's tip. Harry countered with the Flare and Ernest was too slow to avoid. The Bear's defense kept it going however, so Ernest drew Harry in and hit him with a Freeze Pod. Harry was caught unaware and was frozen solid. Ernest drew in closer and fired the Shotgun which hit dead on. The ice gave it a small barrier so the Glory was able to withstand the blast.
Harry jumped and thrusted back-right behind the wall, but Ernest followed and poked out his shotgun from behind the wall. Harry didn't run from the blast, but he charged it and passed through it. He flew into the air and fired his Flare from the highest point he could muster. The flares caught the Bear at their last point, giving Ernest the most damage possible. The Bear wasn't through yet. It jumped and fired its last Freeze Pod which fell to the ground and then fired the Shotgun at Harry. The Glory dodged by shifting, but Ernest fired his Gemini again and Harry was forced to land. The Ground Freeze picked up his position and rushed at him. Harry launched a Spider Pod to protect him and it took the blast. What Harry didn't take into account was that Ernest was right above him, Shotgun pointing to his head. He fired and the Glory's head was blown off and the body fell.
Mike was not at all pleased with his opponent's strength. He had already ambushed him from behind and knocked him down, following with a full throttle assault from his Rayfall at the helpless Shrike. It exploded soon after and Ray 01 shook its head.
Sigh, not exactly a good match. I told him to stay calm.
The Criminal was attempting to hit Marcia with its Dragon many times, but every shot missed its mark. Marcia jumped up and fired the Homing Star and 2 missiles hit it hard. She followed up with a Speed Pod which blew her opponent up high and charged from the ground to the air, knocking it down. The Criminal ran out of power and the Milky Way crossed its arms again.
All 6 of the finished commanders withdrew from the dive. Mike walked over the Paul. "Hey, good try at least, but don't get intimidated by your opponent next time. It limits your strength."
Paul only gave him a sad look of defeat and walked away without saying anything. Gary didn't seem that way after walking off. He was actually feeling happy at the moment. Harry on the other hand, was bewildered. He lost to his own chief. "What the heck? How could I lose to someone like you?"
Ernest laughed. "It's because you're still long off from my skill! Better keep training Harry or you'll never catch me!"
Harry only hung his head as he had done so often. Mike came up to him and patted his back. "Don't worry about it. We've still got this."
"SO WHAT! I WANTED TO BEAT ERNEST!" Harry stomped off while Mike watched.
Arik finished his fight and walked over to Mike. "So you made it? I can tell since your opponent walked off. Guess you might be a challenge after all, since you were the winner last time."
He went to get a drink while Mike glared at his back. He's really getting on my nerves. I'm going to take him down!
Time passed in the tournament and most of the people were already sent packing. It was finally down to the semifinals and the 2 fights were down to Mike on Marcia and Ernest versus Arik.
Mike faced Marcia. "Alright then; heh, it's been some time since our last battle."
Marcia smiled. "Not really, only 2 days. Well, that won't stop us from having a good fight. But I'm still no match for you, you know."
"Hey, things can change Marcia. Who knows, I might've even lost my touch."
"Not likely, so let's go!"
"Right on!"
Both of them dived.
Ernest was facing Arik intently. "So you're the guy who spoke with Mike. Sorry to say, but you really caught his bad side."
Arik snickered. "So I see. It doesn't matter, after all no one has a chance against me, not even you."
"We'll see about that." Ernest dived and Arik followed suit.
Mike and Marcia had already started their battle. Ray 01 had all the parts it used against Rahu III and the Milky Way still used the Homing Star. Its other weapons were the Standard K Bomb, the Float F Pod, and the Feather Legs.
Marcia started it out with a blast from the Standard K which Mike avoided. He then countered by jumping over a wall and blasting the Freeze at her. Marcia air jumped to avoid it, and fired the Homing Star while Ray 01 fired the Rayfall. All the shots connected and both Robos landed. Marcia dashed to her right to the edged of the stage. She didn't find Mike and continued searching. She suddenly gasped and fired the Homing Star to her left. She could hear a boom and then a whizzing sound, so Ray 01 had gotten away. She turned to the left to find 2 Reflection Pods coming at her. She fired her Standard on instinct and they Pods blew up on contact.
Ray 01 came forward from her right and charged, knocking her down. Marcia was still fine, and fired the Homing Star as she fell, hitting Mike in the left leg. Mike fell, but copied her tactic and shot her with the Rayfall. Both Robos overloaded and collapsed. Ray 01 got up later and the Milky Way did the same. They both dashed away to start anew.
The Milky Way jumped again and fired the Homing Star and Standard K simultaneously at Mike's position. She saw the Ray 01 leap out and fire the Rayfall, so she dived while launching her Float Pods. She flipped back over as she landed and Fired the Homing Star again.
Mike saw it coming and did a twirl in the air to his right before dashing. He launched his final Pod behind and ducked behind a wall. She's gotten better since the tournament, Mike thought, I'll have to be extra cautious.
Mike adjusted the nozzle on the Rayfall which gave it the stalling ability. Then he fired, revealing his position. Then he jumped over the wall and ran, firing more rounds of the Rayfall. He saw the Milky Way above him and dived forward to avoid the Homing Star. He looked up again to see the Float Pods approaching him from the front. Redoing the nozzle again, Ray 01 fired the Rayfall, destroying them both.
Unfortunately, the Milky Way had gotten into position and fired the Homing Star. Then an explosion was heard and the Homing Star went slightly off. The last Reflection Pod had sought out its prey and caught it. Ray 01 got hit on the shoulder from one missile, but it was a small price to pay. He fired his Freeze, casting an icy chamber around the Milky Way. He fired his Rayfall and the lingering shots also fired from their posts, destroying the Milky Way.
Both Mike and Marcia returned to their bodies. "Hey, you've gotten much better than last time," Mike commented.
Marcia smiled again. "Yeah, I've been doing some more training with my brother, but I'm still not strong enough to beat you. Looks like I'll have to triple my efforts!" She giggled, watching Mike smile. Suddenly she blushed bright red and looked at him wondrously.
Mike caught that sight. "Huh, something wrong?"
Marcia shook it off. "Um, no, nothing, I'm fine. Say, how 's Ernest doing?"
Mike smacked himself on the head. He had forgotten Ernest! He ran over to the match field, but it was already over. Ernest crossed his arms. "Well, you won." But I did take it easy on you.
"What, you're not running off like the rest of them?"
"Well, I'm not like the rest of them; I'm like your next opponent." He pointed to Mike who had just arrived. Arik glared at him.
"You're going down this time. No one can beat me."
Mike's veins throbbed. "You? Beat me? It would take years of training before you could do that!"
Arik smirked and walked off. Sophie stepped forward. "So now we have our finalists! It's a new rising star now named Arik against the former champion of the last tournament, Mike!
The crowd started cheering, and none of those cheers were for Arik. Ernest walked up to Mike. "I let him win that one. Mike, you should see what he can do."
Mike nodded and took his place. Arik glared at him from the opposite side. "Alright, I made it this far, so I'm not losing to a loser like you!" He got lots of complaints and "boos" from the crowd and he gave them the same glare. Mike snapped him back to him.
"Getting nervous already? Well you should be anyway! Now let's go!" He dived and Arik did the same.
Ray 01 looked around the surrounding as it appeared. It wasn't any holosseum he was expecting. It was a ship surrounded by shallow water. The ship had many black sails and the details of any pirate ship. The doors were sealed off however so no one could get in.
Before he could walk up to the stem, an Eagle shot came after him. He jumped back to see a Robo hanging from one of the ropes from above by the highest sail.
"Behold loser! I am the Pirate! Now brace yourself!" He leaped down from the rope, still using the same weapons from his first encounter. He fired many Eagles while descending and let one Titan Bomb loose. Ray 01 had to retreat backward to avoid and the Eagles soon followed. Mike then jumped up and grabbed one of the ropes and swung upward, and as he let go, he did a double back-flip while firing his Sniper rapidly. The Pirate did an air dash to dodge, but failed to notice the Sky Freeze Pod in front. His reflexes were very good however, and he manages to avoid a direct hit, and only his chest was frozen. He fell to the ground as Ray 01 grabbed another rope and descended down to the stem.
This is kind of fun, he thought, firing his Sniper and Tomahawk G at Arik. The Pirate model jumped back and fired more Eagles that lingered and he let loose all of his Reflection Pods. Too bad for him that Mike knew how to handle something like this, and he leaped up over the stairs and fired his Sniper again, while activating his other Freeze Pod. The Pirate dodged by jumping and dashing to another rope, swinging up to the crow's nest. The Eagles he fired started chasing Mike, but he managed to outrun them.
Arik was getting frustrated and fired another titan from above before swinging down from the sails. He landed on the edge of the wood holding the sail and saw Ray 01 jumping back to the stem to avoid the Titan. Then he fired more Eagles and jumped again, looking for his Reflection Pods. When he didn't see them, he cursed.
Ray 01 jumped over the Eagles and fired the Sniper again, but got blasted from behind. One Reflection Pod had survived the last blast from the Titan Bomb and crawled its way up. The shot missed by a large margin and the Pirate landed in front of Ray 01. It charged, but Ray 01 leaped over it and fired the Sniper which had no effect on the charge. Then the Pirate turned and fired its Eagle which blasted Ray 01's Sniper out of his hand and it sprawled on the deck. Mike jumped back to the Starboard side of the ship and fired a Tomahawk, preventing the Pirate from jumping.
Arik ran forward, firing the Eagle, but Mike released his Sky Freeze launcher and it knocked the Pirate back. Mike did a side-somersault and grabbed the Sniper before firing another Tomahawk. The Pirate did a small leap back up the stairs, but Ray 01 fired the Sniper and the railway block Arik from moving. So he leaped overboard and grabbed one of the cannons sticking out to dodge.
Who is this guy? Arik thought. He began swinging up on the cannon and leaped on to it before jumping back up and firing a Titan again.
Ray 01 saw this and leaped back, knowing he couldn't charge through it. Then the Pirate did another charge forward, but Ray 01 was too far back. So he jumped up after the charge to grab a rope.
Mike was thinking hard. The ropes seem to be his strength here since he can always leap around without problems. I guess that means I'll have to get rid of them. Mike fired his Tomahawk at Arik, but he leaped from the rope to the next. That's what Mike hoped for. He fired his Sniper at the top of the rope and it snapped. As the Pirate grabbed it, he began to fall and crashed on to the ground, taking a large amount of damage from the height. It tried to get back up, but Ray 01 charged it and it fell for good.
Both of them returned from their dives and Arik was stunned. "What? No, impossible! How could I lose in my own holosseum with my own Robo?"
Mike smiled. "You still have a long way to go if you want to play with the big boys Arik. And you should start learning how to respect your opponents before you put them down."
Sophie stepped forward. "And so, our champion managed to hold his title yet again! Let's hear it for Mike! From STEEL HEARTS!"
The crowd roared with cheers and applause and Arik only growled. He ran out of the Gym, crying. Mike saw him and frowned. He still hasn't learned his lesson. Well, I can't do much more now.
Suddenly he was drowning in people asking for a match or an autograph and he had to fend them off. Marcia and the rest helped him through and they escaped, running back to the office. Ernest panted. "Well, now I don't think holding back the fact we beat Rahu is any good now. You really did us in Mike, not that I blame you."
Mike sighed. "Well, I'm going to head home then, if you don't mind." Ernest waved him off so he left. Marcia watched him go.
"Hey Marcia, what's up? Harry asked.
"I don't know really. I guess I'm just tired. Could I leave too?"
"Go ahead Marcia," said Ernest. She thanked him and ran off. Harry was about to leave too when Ernest held him back. "Hold it, you're not as lucky this time."
"Aw, come on chief! If they can leave so can I!"
"I'LL BE THE ONE TO DECIDE THAT! YOU'VE STILL GOT SOME WORK TO DO AFTER YELLING AT ME LIKE THAT BACK AT THE GYM!"
Again Harry hung his head. Why me?
Mike walked through the testing center and said hi to Trish. As he made his way back, he saw Arik sitting by the road on the grass, still crying. Mike shook his head and went over to him. "What's the problem?"
Arik turned. "You! You're the problem! Thanks to you, I've lost for the first time! I never lose and I never would, but thanks to you I did!"
Mike sighed. "Winning isn't everything Arik-"
"IT IS! WHY CAN'T ANYONE SEE THAT? JUST HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU LOST?"
Mike sat down by him. "One time, just like you."
Arik gasped. "Then what's wrong with you? Why don't you cry after losing?"
Mike glared at him. "What does crying solve Arik? Tell me."
Arik struggled like Mike did in the Gym, but couldn't find an answer. Mike smiled. "Crying doesn't do anything for you. You have to learn to accept your losses and learn from them. That's what you should be doing instead of crying after you lose every match. You're only wasting your time like this."
"But I-"
"Listen, come by tomorrow and join us at Steel Hearts. You'll learn everything you need to about what you should be doing."
Arik beamed. "Me? Join Steel Hearts and become a bounty hunter?"
Mike nodded and Arik smiled. "Alright then, I'll drop by. For now, I'll just go home." He stood up and began to walk away before stopping. "Hey Mike."
"Yeah?"
"…thanks." And he walked off. Mike smiled. Well, he might be able to turn over a new leaf now. Guess we'll see him tomorrow. And he walked back home.
Alright then, another chapter done, and my longest one yet. So you meet another character, Arik (yes that's spelled right), and a new Robo, the Pirate. So I've decided to do something new here. After I introduce a new part or Robo, I'll give you its details on my next chapter before I start it. That won't apply in certain times though, so don't be surprised if you don't see something. Oh, and sorry Zero for giving your Robo a crappy ending, but…um, just don't hurt me, PLEEEEAASE! Well anyway, read and review, and I'll try to get the next chapter out soon!
