Vyser: Alright the next chapter!

Tech: And now I'll be revealing my plot in this chapter.

Vyser: I guess Zeek took the chapter off again didn't he?
Tech: Yeah, well it is summer after all. So I take it I have to do the disclaimer.

Vyser: Oh, yeah.

Tech: Very well, Vyser does not own Tales of Symphonia or the characters you the reviewers submitted. He only owns Zeek and myself.

Vyser: Oh yeah, a cookie for Andrain John for finding the purpose mistake I put in last chapter.

Tech: That was a mistake and you didn't realize it.

Vyser: Quiet you fool, Andrain instead of a cookie you get Tech's left foot. (Steals Tech's left foot and mails it to Andrain)

Tech: Hey! I need that!

Vyser: You've probably got replacements.

Tech: Just because that's true doesn't mean you can steal my mechanical feet.

Vyser: Anyway, if anyone can find any mistakes that is not grammar or spelling then you either get a cookie or something from one of my original characters. Enjoy!

Chapter 27: Midnight SwordFight

Beneath the star filled night and Techno City, we find Tech working on some weird machines, which are covered with sheets so they couldn't be seen, in a laboratory. All of a sudden a cloaked person approached Tech and caught Tech's attention. The time was 10 p.m.

"Master Tech," Said the cloaked person as Tech turns towards the cloaked person.

"Ah, 9, I take it you've gotten the upgrade I assigned you, correct?" Tech asked as 9 lifted his cloak to reveal his new self.

9 was now very different. He still had Tech's face, but his hair was now blonde, he was extremely thin, his hands had six fingers (two thumbs on each hand) and his fingers were small yellow claws and his feet were the same even though you could see through the boots. His skin on his arms and legs was replaced with dark blue armor that was spilt in the middle. Instead of ears, they were replaced with metallic horns that would create a visor over his entire face. He was wearing clothes that revealed his new form.

"Sir, I still don't realize I needed this upgrade," Commented 9 as Tech sighed.

"Make sure no communication systems are active while I speak with you," Tech commanded as 9 went to do what he was ordered and quickly returned. "You did it already?"

"Yes master," Replied 9 as Tech grinned.

"Excellent, anyway, Exodus has been a great leader, but after all I've done for him, I should be a dark general by now," Tech began explaining. "Since I'm not and I'm not controlled by him via dark spirit, I figure that its time for a new leader. And in order for me to do that, I require my own generals. You and five others are going to be my Mecano Generals."

"I see," Replied 9 as Tech was looking through a nearby box. "Sir?"

"Its time to finish your upgrade, with a new personality and a new name," Tech stated as he held up a computer chip. "Because of how you are technically made again, I find it appropriate to call you Gyro. Now here are you orders, after inserting that personality chip, I want you to find the Renegades base and find Kai. After doing so, contact me and I'll relay the rest of the commands."

"Master Tech, before I proceed, who may I ask are the other Mecano Generals?" Asked Gyro as he began to insert the personality chip.

"I've selected you, and the Tech-droids 7, 2, and 5, and the last ones are going to be a surprise," Tech answered as he went back to work on his machine which was Tech-droid 7. "After I finish with the next Mecano General here, he'll be joining you on the mission."

"As you say master Tech," Said Gyro as he left the laboratory.

---------------- -------------------------------- /////// ---------------- --------------

It was past midnight outside the Renegades' base, Kai was still snoozing quietly. Meanwhile, inside the Renegades' base was a different story, Kratos was trying to get back at Yuan for what he did to Sera. Yuan was hiding from Kratos with his sword in hand.

"Yuan where are you?" Kratos yelled as Tailys came out of a room.

"Kratos, its past midnight, you taking your revenge on Yuan tomorrow?" Asked Tailys.

"I might as well, Yuan could be anywhere," Kratos replied as he left to go to his room.

As soon as Kratos was out of sight, a huge sigh of relief was heard.

"You can come out Yuan," Tailys said as Yuan came out of Tailys' room.

"Thanks for the help, I'll be returning to my quarters now," Replied Yuan as he made his way back to his room.

----------- -------------------------- -------------- /////// --------------- ------------- ---

Meanwhile, back outside the base, Kai is still snoozing when suddenly Gyro appears in front of him.

"Wake up," Said Gyro, but Kai didn't wake up. Gyro quickly kick Kai in the side instantly awakening him.

"What the! Who in the world are you?" Yelled Kai as he drew his sword.

"Listen, I was sent by Tech to assist you in your mission," Answered Gyro as Kai put away his sword.

"Then what's my objective then?" Asked Kai.

"To eliminate Lloyd's past, present, and future. But for this particular mission you are going to eliminate Lloyd's past, Kratos," Gyro answered as Kai looked impressed. "So now lets get this over with."

"I like your style, what's your name again?" Kai asked as the two went to Renegade's base.

"The name's Gyro, and your style is impressive as well," Replied Gyro as the two reached the door. "After you."

"All right! Shadow Blade!" Kai yelled as he drew his sword and quickly slashed the door and opened the way into the base.

--------------- / ------------------------- / -------------------- / -----

Yuan was just back in his office when the alarm went off.

"Not another attack," Yuan sighed as he turned on the screen to see Kai and Gyro. "Well at least there's only two of them this time."

Andrain and Kratos quickly ran into Yuan's office to see what was going on.

"Who's attacking now?" Andrain asked as Yuan showed them the screen. "Oh, these guys look like push overs."

"Don't judge merely appearances," Kratos stated as the Gyro and Kai were just standing there. "It looks like they're waiting for something."

"We might as well see what they want," Said Yuan as he grabbed his weapon.

The trio quickly left the office and headed to where Kai and Gyro.

"Don't think that I've forgotten," Kratos commented.

-------------- ------------------ -------------- //////// ---------- ------------------- ---------

Kai and Gyro were waiting for their opponents to arrive.

"So what exactly can you do Gyro?" Kai asked as he raised his sword.

"I have been programmed with multiple forms of martial arts," Answered Gyro. "I also have a few other surprises in stored."

As soon as Gyro finished Kratos, Yuan and Andrain came into the room each with their weapon in their hands.

"Who are you and what do you want?" Asked Kratos as he, Yuan, and Andrain got in their fighter stances.

"I'm Kai, and this is my companion Gyro," Kai introduced. "And I've come here for you Kratos."

"So I take it I get Yuan and Andrain?" Questioned Gyro as Kai nodded. "Excellent."

"You're going down then," Andrain said as Gyro crossed his arms.

"You'll see that getting to fight us you'll be beaten in no flat," Added Yuan as Gyro quickly shot his arms to his sides and four long blades appear from atop of Gyro's fists (two on each hand).

"We'll see about that!" Gyro yelled at the top of his lungs as he charged at Andrain and Yuan.

"This is the end of Lloyd's past!" Yelled Kai as he jumped into the air with his sword.

"You will not win!" Kratos replied as he brought his sword to clash with Kai's sword.

Gyro had jumped into the air and was spinning like a wheel and slashed at Yuan and Andrain who managed to block the attack. Gyro quickly used this to kick the two warriors with his feet, sending the two backwards. Kai and Kratos continued to sword fight and they were even move for move. Gyro charged at Yuan and Andrain, but they managed to dodge and counter attack, forcing Gyro to raise his blades in defense. Yuan and Andrain kept using all of their strength to push Gyro back.

"Face it Gyro! You'd need to sprout more arms fight us!" Yelled Andrain as Gyro smiled.

"You can give up now if you want," Yuan commented.

"You know, I think I'll take you up on that idea Andrain," Gyro replied as suddenly his arms spilt into four arms each with their own blade on them (Think of General Grievous). Two of the blades were blocking Andrain and Yuan's swords while the other two blades were getting ready to stab Yuan and Andrain. "Take this!"

Adrian and Yuan quickly broke off their attacks to dodge Gyro's attacks. Gyro quickly charged having two blades each going for both of the warriors. The attack was like a blitzkrieg of blades, but Yuan and Andrain managed to dodge or block the attacks barely though. Meanwhile, Kai was continuously slashing at Kratos, but his attacks were either blocked or they missed.

"Hold still!" Yelled Kai after Kratos quickly dodged a slash.

"Anger will get you nowhere," Kratos replied as he blocked Kai's attack.

"Take this!" Kai yelled as he kicked Kratos in the stomach and pushed him back a little then Kai took this opportunity to slash Kratos. Kratos was slashed across the chest, his clothes had a huge rip in them with blood dripping out slightly. Kratos had his left arm covering the wound. "You were saying? Anger and strife give me strength."

"You'll never win," Said Kratos as Kai was looking for something in his pockets.

"Die," Kai replied when suddenly Gyro was thrown into Kai sending the two flying.

"Kratos! You okay?" Asked Yuan as he and Andrain ran next to Kratos.

"Only a flesh wound," Kratos answered as Kai and Gyro quickly got up.

"Gyro! What are you doing! I almost had him!" Yelled Kai as Gyro got up.

"That Andrain guy used a powerful magic attack!" Gyro answered as another person wearing a huge black cloak entered the base.

"Gyro," Said the cloaked person.

"Now what?" Asked Andrain as Yuan helped Kratos to his feet.

"Gyro, you remember me as 7, but now I'm Drogue," Drogue introduced as he threw off his cloak to reveal his true self. Drogue looked like a much taller and much muscular Tech, only with long black hair with the same type of visor as Gyro. He had gears on his wrists and his ankles had half gears, he had cut in half drill on his waist that went back, his black pants were ripped, his feet were drills and there was a many drills on his belts that went up on his chest. "Tech says that we should return … with Kai."

"What! I'm not leaving, I'm so close to getting part of my revenge!" Yelled Kai when suddenly Drogue grabbed Kai by the clothes and pulled him away. "No!"

"Let's go Gyro," Said Drogue as Gyro quickly grabbed something from his pocket.

"Right!" Gyro yelled as he quickly threw a smoke bomb on the ground and the three enemies disappeared into the night.

"Kratos let's get you to the infirmity," Andrain said as he helped Yuan get Kratos to the room.

-------------- -------------------------- //////////// ------------ ------------ -------------

"Why! Why did you take me with you ! I could have defeated Kratos!" Yelled Kai as he punched a nearby tree.

"Well you see, Master Tech wanted to take you with us so he could offer you a deal," Drogue explained. "A deal so that you can take your revenge against Lloyd and be extremely powerful."

"And what's the cost of this?" Asked Kai.

"Neither of us know, you'll have to ask Master Tech about that," Replied Gyro as Kai was scratching his chin.

"I'll listen, but we'll see what he has in mind," Kai said as Drogue and Gyro grinned.

Vyser: Well now, it looks like Tech is starting to make his own plans.

Tech: You got that right, soon my Mecano Generals will be finished.

Vyser: Don't get cocky you still have Lloyd and the others to deal with along with Exodus and his dreamos and Dark Generals to deal with.

Tech: I've already finished the two more Mecano Generals, and they were sent to Misty Water Springs to deal with them.

Vyser: Great, not only do Lloyd and the others have to deal with Marina and Chaos, but now they have to deal with your Mecano Generals.

Tech: And I've still got two more Generals to create.

Vyser: Listen, I'm setting up another limit on reviews. This time, it's going to be 8 reviews before I update again. And don't worry, after two weeks, I'll update if I don't get the reviews.

Tech: So review, or face a fate that's worse than being attack by my Mecano Generals. And that fate is that this story will not have updation.

Vyser: First off, don't threaten the reviewers, and second updation is getting contagious. Oh no I used it! Run!
