Medabots Betrayals
Chapter 9
The long-ish awaited sequel to chapter 8.
Almost done with this! (Really!)
"Robo-archangel"
Type: RAG Robotic angel
Description (this feels awkward to describe this way) Well first off, mega emperor head. Second there were wings, HUGE wings. The wings were the size of the body. Third, the legs were like baby-blue's legs in style. Third, it was armed with three laser blasters on one arm. They were set up in a triangle/circle formation with a central point which they could rotate around. The other arm (the left one) had a circular missile launcher, with a 4 ½ foot diameter. (REAL big). Fourth, all white, robo-archangel was all white. Yeah, and this guy is 18 feet tall. He has a jet booster on his back. And rocket legs. The wings also have hinged feathers allowing for free movement of the wings and feathers. Not to mention each feather has a small set of three jets.
-Outside-
Marth looked over the people down below him. Everyone with a medabot had a long range attack part attached to them. Most were aiming at the big thing in the sky. A few were just looking upwards because they couldn't do anything else. Marth issued the command. "Turretatron's, missile attack. Both laser barrels fire!" This also launched hundreds of smaller Medabots on their ranged assaults too.
Many of the shots hit other flying things and fell short of the target, but most of the missiles and laser beams were dead on.
-In the office-
"Fire everyone now!"
"Golden arc"
"Shadow arc"
"Now, Arcbeetle, fire the shining pillar of light, the flame of justice, the prominence!" (I made that up)
"Seeker missiles metabee!"
"Don't need to tell em twice Ikki!"
"Seeker storm!" (Just all his 8 missile tubes at once)
"Gorgon laser" (her snake eyes shoot weak laser beams)
"Dragons Fury!"
"Warbandit, hit him hard, hit him fast!"
"ANNHILATION WAVE!"
Due to Tom's excellent run of luck he had to use aki-bot's left arm plus left leg and some chest as a shield. However Tom also had a view no-one else did. He had rushed to the very edge of the office. Near a chair he had hit over Dr. Aki's head in chapter one. He could see the forces on the ground and the ones in Medabots Co. He also saw that many attacks would hit him too. So he bent at an angle reserved for neo's first matrix dodge and watched from a view held by one secret camera as well as one secret observer as robo-archangel was hit by massive waves of energy shot and shell. (Long sentence)
-Beyond location change-
The actual firing was over quickly. However the ball of energy formed by the massive explosion lasted for a while. Up in the office all humans lost sight temporarily. The Medabots couldn't see anything. (Same thing) Down below no-one could tell what was going on, but it was assumed that the medabot was destroyed.
Tom was the last to regain sight but the first to hear. "Impressive, heh-heh-heh."
Perplexed by the sound he heard he felt around for aki-bot's head, but couldn't find it. "What is making that noise?"
"Yes what is making that noise, if you can see look at what you just attacked. I doubt you can, but…"
Tom turned, he couldn't actually see, but his eyes were open. He had no idea how close he was but his sense of direction and sense of hearing brought him almost on target. Robo-archangel, however, was on target all the time. "Target lock, Thomas. Firing great laser." The three lasers on robo-archangels right arm began to rotate around the center point. Then they fired.
"NOOO TOM, LOOK OUT!" Metablue's legs and back armor allowed him the ability to fly/hover dash over short distances. Then another flash of light came as the laser hit Tom. A few seconds later Tom had his jacket out and zipped up on him. While he was holding metablue, who had hit his head on the wall. Tom had not regained sight until the flash came at which point all the others lost it. In that time he had put on his jacket. Why, who knows? (Actually I, the author, do, heh-heh)
"Metablue," Tom spoke up, "thanks for saving me, but something just happened that resigned me to my fate."
Metablue responded without thinking, "What?"
"You hit you're head on the wall you moron."
"Oh that's all, man you should see me on Tuesdays."
"Then remind me when you see me next, I'll be sure to watch."
"Aw how quaint. The medafighter and medabot have a nice last moment together. Ah well onto the others." The voice was back, and in a strange act of mercy has chosen to spare Tom and metablue for the time being. Was it to be his final err (error
)? I dunno, if I gave you a definitive answer it would ruin the suspense. "Robo-archangel, prepare you're ultimate attack. Use all the guns!" Out of nowhere, the sides opened up, as well as robo-archangels stomach, revealing several Gatling guns. "Target lock."
"Transport medapart, black shield!" Tom pressed his medawatch and white knight's left arm became a gigantic black shield. "White knight, excluding me, protect the humans!"
"Tom, but!"
"Just do it!"
"Right."
Metablue spoke up. "Why'd you do it, are you that certain that Robo-archangel will just fall down from the sky for no reason."
"Again, I have resigned myself to my fate."
"But what about the Medabots!"
"Well, if we succeed then dad will rebuild them. If not, well then good luck to you."
"Alright, if you say so."
"Metablue, you say that this guy's medal hatch is in the same spot as yours?"
"Yeah probably. Why?"
"I can't get at his back, so through his front will do."
"Huh, what, WAIT!" Tom had grabbed his sword and was running across to Robo-archangel.
"Eat this, YOU MONSTER!" Tom jumped, but a smash with robo-archangel's right arm sent Tom into a wall. "Ahh!" Tom's jacket flipped up. Revealing something to X.
"What the, what, what, what…"
"My stomach. It was hit by the grand laser." Tom's stomach was essentially gone. "I'm not sure why I'm alive, but I can fell myself getting closer to death as time ticks by. Not weakening, but dying none the less. Figure that the RAG over there should go with me."
"I see, makes sense, I've done similar things. Just that I survived what I've done"
"Well, if anyone asks, you saw a big red mark. Got it."
"Right, the question is how to get that thing."
"Metablue, behind robo-archangel now!"
"Right."
"Where is his medal hatch?"
"About four feet up from the crotch." (Lol, crotch!)
"Thanks. X; have my dad repair the Medabots, if nothing else say it was my last wish. He'll understand."
"Right, huh?" Tom had dropped his five medawatches into X's hand.
"Don't want those to get damaged. Now," Tom bent over X's hand, "Metablue, seeker storm!"
X looked at Robo-archangel then at Tom, "Need any help?"
"No, the bot is distracted, no worries."
"Good luck."
Tom took up a stance. The sword in his left hand, right arm extended around the point, yet a safe distance from it, legs bent, ready to charge. (For Kenshin fans, this is saito's gaotsu stance) "Thanks a lot that really means something." He gulped, closed his eyes and a single tear formed. "Just, I know what will happen in the end." Almost effortlessly Tom surged forwards with inhuman speed and just as the camera spotted him and made the order to fire, Tom was airborne. "YOU MONSTER!" The bullets flew. Physics and momentum could care less. "You need more than that to stop me!" While flesh was torn away a sword struck metal. Going in almost four feet.
Robo-archangel spun around. Now everyone, besides X, who had no idea what had been going on, looked. On the ground people were stunned as someone was on the monster actually seeming to crush it. Meanwhile Tom had a death grip on the sword with his left arm, both legs were tighter than that around the bot, and his upper body was pulled away as far as it could be under the circumstances. "I have to get the whole blade in and knock out the medal. That's it the only way." The Gatling gun in the chest was firing tearing out what was left of Tom's chest. Then he did it. The sword pierced the back Tom came swooping forwards, face smashing the bot. "No, I Missed…"
"Target locked." The targeting laser on Robo-archangels head spun around. A blue circle formed. "Fire." The blue circle produced a blue laser. This shot Tom off. "Missiles, Laser's firing." These too went off destroying more. Revealing things not meant to be revealed. All the while a sword lay in the monsters belly. (That line sounded like it was from the Iliad)
Metablue had been silent witness to all this from his perch in the sky. He was not sure what was going on until the death grip succumb to death itself. "No."
"Target eliminated."
Inside the office a screen lit up. On it was a black face. "Well now, you're hero has become a martyr."
"Quickly everyone turned to face this empty face. "You! You, you, you…" X was silent. He had no clue who this guy was, and could not believe who he was talking about.
"Oh X. Stop denying what you know is true. And just look over to robo-archangel as he disposes of the leech on his body. Archangel."
Archangel was an invitation. The RAG turned around to show no-one was there. "See, he's already hit the g-" An arrow pierced the screen. Everyone turned to face white knight.
"This will not stand!" Was all white knight had to say before a larger cry broke out.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" etc. Metablue was ablaze with power. Even if robo-archangel had no form of energy sensors, the unused damage sensors were reading this energy and this energy alone. Metablue charged.
At the ground several people had gathered around where Tom had fallen. At the front was Emily. Now her brother's bullet scarred body on her lap. She gently stroked his hair while the life drained out of him onto her. "Why, why couldn't the ten days happen again so I could see you, why, why…" Toms face had more holes than Swiss cheese. The blood poured out onto her lap. Emily couldn't have given a damn.
Metablue charged Robo-archangel. Robo-archangel knocked him aside. So he came, again, and again, and once more to be sure. And he just kept coming. White knight spoke up. "Why are you doing this!"
Metablue didn't turn he just put a hand on his knee and one on the floor as he tried to get up. "Because I can't do anything else."
"Oh my, now the knight wants to get beaten too. Well after the people around Thomas are killed." The voice was back without a face. "One of them looks like his sister.
Metablue was ready to explode already. The thought of this evil man controlling this medabot killing his beloved Medafighters sister was the final straw. "THAT IS IT, YOU'RE TIME HERE IS OVER YOU RAG!" Metablue's flame re-appeared, "I HAVE NO MERCY FOR SLAYERS!" The machine guns on metablue's arms faced forwards exploding in golden light.
"The medaforce. Metablue has a rare medal." When the blast struck home it was first diverted downwards, downwards to a dead medafighter.
When the beam of power struck Emily was still in shock. Then she looked up. She couldn't have given more of a damn if Satan and god had come to rip Tom's soul in two and she had been able to see it. "Hm, the sun has come out to shine on you're body, well, well, whatever." Emily finally closed her eyes to cry as Tom's wounds began to heal.
"NO, YOU WILL PAY YOU RAG YOU WILL PAY! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-HHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MEDAFORCE!" This was not the typical force in a medaforce attack. This medaforce had the strength of a thousand medals behind it. Yet it all came from one medabot. Robo-archangel was less than dust. Nothing made it. Nothing except a newly revived Thomas.
Meanwhile the lone figure in the rafters retreated, to report the destruction of two powerful figures.
Then when Emily heard her brother moan she pulled him up to hug him when she noticed something. "EWWW! I'm covered in my brother's blood!"
YAY, only an epilogue left. YAY! Yeah, I write really way to serious climaxes, too hilarious buildups. Just like to mention that this chapter turned out nothing like I wanted it to. This will probably be edited, but not before I edit the earlier playwright style chapters, or maybe not.
And for those of you who read this story from the beginning two things. One (more for those who jus joined after Ch 9 was up) all the chapters but chapter nine are K+. Two, reviewers will get their due in the epilogue.
The epilogue will tie up some loose ends, while making more! Alright I don't think I may tie up any loose ends if the epilogue is shorter than 15 pages… I really write to long stories, ten chapters is short for me.
