Foneques tore through the waves of guards and soldiers that came at them. Ariel kicked her way through them.
"We gotta find Orion! Where is he?" Ariel shouted.
Another guard came running at her but he was shot away by Chromia.
"Go Ariel! Find Orion!" Chromia shouted. "We can handle these guys!"
Ariel nodded and continued to run forwards before something came shooting at her. Sensing it and dodging the projectile at the last moment, Ariel jumped back.
"Hmm, quite the ruckus you kids have been causing here." Darklight spoke from the higher floor. "Looks like we're gonna have to put you down."
Ariel took out her fans. "Not a chance!"
The Elite jumped from the second floor and the younglings ran towards them.
Orion had rested his helm on his knees, and was in recharge. He didn't notice the Judge open the door to his little space.
"Optronix." The Judge spoke.
Orion's helm snapped up in surprise at the sudden noise. He shuffled back in surprise.
"I am not here to harm you boy." The Judge continued.
"Then what do you want?" Orion asked.
"To talk with you."
"There's nothing to talk about, and even if there was, I wouldn't talk to you."
"Then listen. I am here to speak with you about you after the Quintessons return." The Judge said.
"What of it?" Orion demanded.
"They will most likely want for you to return." The Judge replied.
Orion's optics widened before he scowled. "No. I'm never going back."
Orion stood up and glared up defiantly at the Judge. "And you can tell them that they won't have a place for me to come back to because I will defeat you...we will defeat you and send you all to the Pit!"
"Optronix—"
"No! Optronix died all those millennia ago. My name is Orion Pax! That is who I am and nothing will ever change that!"
The Judge returned Orion's glare. It looked as though he was going to say something but the walls around them shook. Cracks began to form and there was shouting and sounds of combat to be heard from right above them.
"What is going on up there?" The Judge demanded.
Orion looked up at the ceiling with wide optics.
A fight? Could it be that his friends had found their way to him? Or was it something else entirely? Either way, Orion figured that he could use the ensuing chaos to escape unnoticed.
Orion sighed, grabbed the tracker and ran past the Judge, towards the door.
"And where do you plan on going?" The Judge asked. "In fact, what do you plan on doing? You do realize that your quest is a futile one don't you? The Quintessons will rise, whether you collect the tools or not."
Orion turned back. "Yeah, and I'll be there to stop them."
Orion turned around again and ran out of the room.
Ariel dodged the hit from Darklight and returned it with a sharp slash with her fans.
Chromia was in an intense combat match with the femme wielding the chain scythe. The blue femme did her best to avoid the flying blade and get hits in in her opponent at the same time.
Dion was rapidly spinning his staff in his servos to deflect the small blades being thrown at him by the sniper femme.
Then all of a sudden, the siblings were back to back.
"Hey brother. How you doing on your side?" Chromia asked.
"Eh, could be better Chrome Dome." Dion replied.
"Hmm...wanna switch dance partners?" Chromia asked.
"Sure." Dion replied.
The two siblings then turned around to face the Elite member their sibling had previously been facing.
Chromia went straight for the sniper femme, tonfas blasting a path through the incoming blades.
The chain scythe wrapped itself around Dion's staff. He overpowered the femme and pulled on the chain, pulling her with it.
Ariel blocked another kick from Darklight.
"Where's Orion?" Ariel demanded.
"Mm, not telling." Darklight replied.
Ariel growled and threw a punch which Darklight caught.
"Oh ho! That was so cute! You're such a cute little femme! Like a little Cyber-puppy growling for food!" Darklight mocked.
The older femme threw Ariel back and the smaller femme stumbled to get back on her pedes.
Ariel roared and charged at Darklight. She jumped into the air and sent a spinning kick right to her face.
The femme Dion was fighting was really agile and flexible. She dodged his attacks by twisting herself in all directions, he barely dodged her swift movements.
Then the femme took out a pair of fingerless gauntlets. She put them on her servos and they lit up with a small white light.
The femme then came at Dion, fist raised.
Dion blocked her punches with his staff, but she got a lucky shot in and hit his arm. When her fist made contact, he felt a strong surge of energy pass through his limb before it went numb. Dion's arm dropped limp at his side.
"What?" He demanded.
Dion held his staff with his other hand tightly.
"What did you do to me?" He demanded.
The femme shrugged.
"I just disconnected the nerve receptors in your arm." She answered casually. "Don't worry, it'll wear off in a while."
The femme came right at Dion and continued to easily punch him. Before long, the young mech collapsed, limp, onto the floor.
"Dion!" Chromia exclaimed. It was then, with her back turned, the sniper femme ran over to her and knocked Chromia out.
Ariel sensed her friends fall to the ground.
"Chromia! Dion!" She exclaimed.
Ariel used all of her strength to push Darklight away and ran towards her friends.
"Foneques!" Ariel yelled.
Foneques looked over from his own little fight with the rest of the guards, to see the younglings unconscious. The beetle chirped and ran over to them.
He rammed himself into the Elite femmes, sending them flying into the wall across the room.
With some struggle, Ariel and Foneques managed to lift their incapacitated friends onto his back.
"Hey! Come back here!" Darklight shouted. "I'm not done with y–"
Darklight was cut off by a sharp hit to the back of her helm with a pipe. She dropped to the floor. Standing behind her was Orion Pax, holding the pipe he had just used to knock out Darklight.
"Orion!" Ariel exclaimed happily,
"Hey Ariel." Orion replied as he ran over to them.
"We came to rescue you!" Ariel said as Orion helped her onto Foneques.
"Yeah! Thanks!" Orion replied.
The two younglings got onto the giant beetle and Foneques ran right through the front doors and surrounding walls, and took off into the Iacon skies.
The two Elite femmes woke up on the floor by the wall.
"Ugh. Jeez...wasn't expecting that." The agile femme groaned.
"Uh huh...wait, Darklight?" Her sniper compatriot spoke.
The two femmes ran over to their unconscious leader.
They helped her up.
"Darklight are you okay?" The agile femme asked.
"Errgh...okay." Darklight replied.
The sniper femme helped Darklight onto her pedes before an alarm sounded on her armour computer.
"Oh, I'm off then." The femme sniper spoke. She turned around and took her visor off.
"Where're you going?" Darklight asked.
"Don't you remember?" The agile femme said. "She's off to looove!"
"Ha ha. Very funny. See you two later." The sniper spoke before walking in the opposite direction.
"So Orion! Where're we off to now?" Ariel asked.
Orion took out the tracker and activated it. Several minutes later, the tracker beeped.
"Hmm...looks like we're going back to Kaon." Orion confirmed.
Yup...yup.
