Thank you all for the reviews with this whole outbreak thing going on I got plenty of time to write. I will most likely update again after the weekend.
Meanwhile, in the library's vault, an artificial voice rang through the vault. "Attention Librarian awaking procedure activated, outside data compiled, report construction systems operational."
My eyes opened and my body warmed as I felt the last of the blue gel drain away. I quickly rub my eyes to remove any possible gel that remained. Then I stood up and looked around and to my utter disappointment, everything was just about the same. The only thing that was different is a chair next to a small wooden table that has three items places upon it. One of the items is a white piece of paper most likely a note and the other is a bottle of wine with a fancy glass. Then I like over to see three security units staring at me.
I do wish they could have given them a little more personality but hey it was not my call. "Master Librarian we have compiled a report upon your awakening. Were are also at a level 3 security alert. Would you like to hear the report? They informed me in unison.
"WAIT WHAT! repeat that last part again." I demanded while looking at them hoping I misheard them.
"Would you like to hear the report?" They replied in the same tone. I forgot I needed to be specific with these particular replicants since they are connected to the central computer network there basically one being.
"Did you say we are in a level 3 security alert?" I asked them calmly and clearly as I could manage.
"Affirmative they have just accessed security door one and are locked into combat in the kill room. Shall I give you the full report?" They, he, she, it informed me. I let out a sigh of frustration as my first few minutes awake are proving to be a headache already.
"Yes give me the report," I commanded as I took a seat in the large comfortable chair and read the note on the pice of paper.
"Dear Alistair I hope your long sleep went well. If no one from the order is here to greet you then it's best to assume the worst my boy. But this should cheer you up I have finally done it. I have made the perfect wine. You better drink or so help me if you save it I will haunt you. I can do it too I'm a necromancer damn it.
Signed your friend and mentor Dr. Ekon.
With that, I pour myself a glass as the androids begin there to report on all that I missed. "You have been in the tomb 9942 years and there have been several interesting events we have recorded. But due to the fact time is short we have condensed the full report. Earth has been invaded by aliens and now machines battle android who are now attacking the library. You must prepare to battle the android or escape the facility." They laid all this on me at one and I couldn't help but burst out laughing much to their confusion.
"Ok report accepted get ready for battle, I will be joining you shortly," I was expecting to wake up when shit was to go down but this is insanity. With those words, they began making the way to the elevator but stopped before leaving me to make my own preparations.
"What are you going to do." The one on the left asked? With a heavy sigh, I stood up lifting my wine glass in the air.
"Well I'm going to do the best I can," I replied feigning a cheery manner. Now I'm not the picture of human fitness by a long shot but my magic more than makes up for it so I guess I got to hope for the best but thair is something missing.
"OH VETITO!" I yell out, I know I could just summon her to me since she is my creation but I just wanna surprise her after all these years.
"MASTER ALISTAIR IS IT REALLY YOU?!" Screamed my first living creation as it flew around a large set of bookshelves where she was most likely resting until my return but slowed down as she narrowly avoided slamming into me.
"Yes, it's really me Vetito, did you miss me?" I asked my dear companion.
"Oh Master it's been far too long, please don't do that again Master." She begged and if she was capable of shedding tears there's not a doubt in my mind that the robe I wear would be dripping wet.
"Don't worry Vetito I plan to do no such thing in fact I believe we're about to go on an adventure," I tell me creation who seemed elated by the news.
"That's excellent news Master I also dream of seeing the outside world again." She said egger to leave the library after all these years.
"Now Vetito we have a duty to protect the library so we will return once we've to lead the intruders away if they prove to stong. Well, maybe a day or two exploring the outside world wouldn't hurt." I tell my grimoire to seemed to be itching to get out of this place for a little while. altho time seemed to pass instantaneously for me I know the grimoires of this library most likely suffered waiting all these years.
"Of course Master Alistair." She said egger to follow me once again. I will have to say I also look forward to doing a little exploring. Still, though I need to be prepared and right now I'm just wearing a robe but that can be easily fixed. I concentrate for a moment to feel my magic imbued into my creations to call them forth. There was a simmer around my body. Then the formal wear I removed 9942 years ago appeared on my body along with two rings one made of led with a yellow gemstone and the other gold with a blue gemstone. This is the beauty of specializing in enchanting a truly difficult art to master since one must master many different craftsmen trades. However, that did not prove too much of a problem since I always liked making stuff in arts and crafts. Though that passion I would learn many trade skills to become a master craftsman.
You see it was always a dream of mine to brath life into objects during my childhood as I played with my toys. It was that direr that lead me to read books about the subject and developed my love for books at a very early age.
"Computer I want you to lock down the library and delete all existing pin codes and biometric data but my own. Then you are to constantly scramble my passcode before resetting it back to its original state between 1:00 and 1:03 pm each day. As the acting director that is my order." I explained my order to the computer mainframe that runs the vault and library's systems.
"Order confirmed" The booming voice of the computer replied. I turned to Vetito and took a deep breath. I guess it's time to personly defend the library and hopefully lure away the androids attacking the place.
"Alright, Vetito lets get up there and do our stuff," I said while looking for any survival surprise which I luckily found lying near the elevator door. So I grab the survival kit beside the elevator door.
"Yes, master we will emerge victorious after all this is not out first battle," she said reassuring me that I'm making the right choice. So I click the button and wait for the elevator to arrive. After about a minute it finally arrived and the sight with it did not instill confidence in me. The evader had contained a mess of bullet holes or what I assume was made from bullets. Then there was artificial blood and gore from the two androids that had previously used it. Poor things appeared to have been mowed down as soon as the door opened. Well, regardless I enter the elevator with Vetito and click the kill room floor.
I then let out a hardy laugh of excitement and something else as adrenalin runs rampant through my veins. Vetito and my rings are not my only creations infused with my magic. I then call upon a few of my creations all of which have been safely secured down in the vault. I conjure a tower shield and longsword to hover in front of me. I waited as I felt the elevator stop and with bated breath, I waited for the enviable sound of combat to fill my ears. To say that I'm nervous would not exactly fit the description of what I'm feeling now. I'm not really afraid as I am sicked by this sense of nostalgia I'm feeling. Nostalgia for a time when angels would guide my hand in combat, a time when the order and all who were in it, myself included were enthralled to the watchers.
I know no one is perfect and we all have done something we regret willingly or not but I'm free now, free to fight for a cause I believe in and I will protect humanity's knowledge down to my last breath. The doors open and something bounces off my sheld. While mechanical voice from the other side says something that made me feel a little bit better about this.
"Warning old-world magic detected. magic weapons have a high probability to penetrate all defense systems." Said the voice but it wasn't done yet.
"Warning organic being detected, classification human." Finished the machine as I took a step forward keeping my shield in front of me.
Then I move my sheld to my left to see their shocked faces. They must have never had to battle an enchanter before. Then I call upon a few of my other creations and three more tower shields created by yours truly to appear around me protecting each side of me. Then I summoned my weapons. I spent so long crafting this from scraps of ore. First was my longsword I already have out named Foe Breaker as cliche as it sounds, I was going through a phase. Its gift is its amazing strength in which it lashes at my enemies making it quite difficult to block. Then there's a medieval dagger I named Heart Piercer; this evil dagger's only desire is top pierce the heart of an enemy. Its gift is that it will pass through any physical none energy barrier my opponents have.
Next, I conjure up my mace named Bludgeon and this sadistic mace for some reason has a love for sweeping the legs of my enemies before smashing their knee caps. I have no idea why it likes to do that but hey it does a good job. Finally, I call for my scythe namedHeartless crescent. Now I don't know how this weapon will work against androids since any cut from this weapon is extremely poisonous and they are not organic beings.
Once my weapons were conjured I commanded them though my magical connection to them. I ordered my shields to spin around me for protection while my weapons did the same except vertically spinning to confuse my unwanted guest.
Altho conjuring all this was near-instant but I'm surprised they haven't charged at me yet. Well I will give the I wanna say, Gothic Lolita clade women and actually somewhat casually dressed male the first move. Such a shame I'm going to have to kill two lovely female android and a little boy in appearance at least.
I think this would make for an interesting boss fight. The team I would choose would be The Greatest Jubilee boss theme.
