Chapter 7: the infection begins...
finally, the countdown had started, not just the one of the rocket that would bring z-12 to his "exile" but also the countdown to the begining of the problem...
meanwhile, at the pyramid...
Eggman: the time has come! you got your orders! take this contention unit along with the virus, remember, dont stop until number 12 gets infected!
Robot: understood, commencing mission...
Decoe: shall we send the armor to z-12?
Eggman: not yet... we cant take any risk until he gets infected and under my full control, until then, he'll be on his own
meanwhile... the countdown was reaching 5 when z-12's comunicator activated
z-12: yes dr...?
Eggman: its time, procceed according to the instrucctions i gave you
z-12: finally! i was getting bored... i'll do as planned dr.
Eggman: you better
it reached 0, it launched now
as a special caution G.U.N. had made the spaceship bigger in order to fill it with guard robots that would take z-12 out with no problem, as a plus, z-12 was locked in a room with electric walls, so he would get more and more hurt while trying to escape, minutes passed, the voice in the computer announced that they would be reaching the space colony in a few minutes...
z-12: ok... time to get out of this cheap cage
with ease, z-12 made his way out of his cell in the spaceship and also take out all the security robots, he did it so silently that the people monitoring at G.U.N. didnt notice
just as planned, the spaceship got inside the ARK, before getting out, z-12 had another transmition incoming
Eggman: wait in there, help is on the way
z-12: help?
Eggman: your wounds haven't healed completely, have they?
z-12: correct...
Eggman: what i'm sending you is a robot that will inyect you with a special substance to accelerate the healing procces, that way you wont have any problem
z-12: copy that, i'll wait here... -he goes out of the ship to the hangar, he just sat down there like a puppy waiting for the master-
Eggman: ... -on his thoughts- poor and innocent... he has no idea that he will be the carrier of one of the worst virus ever manufactured! once everything works, mobius and the earth will fall under my power and my superior intelect! not even sonic will save them, they will be left with no other choice but make me their empereor!
2 hours passed
Eggman: do you copy?
z-12: yes i do dr.
Eggman: the robot that will heal you will arrive in any minute now, i'm on my way aswell, before i arrived, the robot will have injected you with the healing substance
z-12: copy that... but... there wont be any side effects?
Eggman: you dare to doubt me?? did you forgot who's in charge!? IF I TELL YOU IT WILL HEAL YOU, ITS BECAUSE IT WILL! -he activated the button on his control to electrocute z-12-
z-12: -he falls to his knees- AAHH.... i'm... i'm sorry! ... i didnt mean to doubt you!
Eggman: hmm...
the transmition cut, a big metarex-looking robot arrived to the hangar
z-12: you're the one that came to heal me?
robot: dont move... i'm here to do my mission...
it quickly grabbed z-12 by his face and then holding him with his other hand, then some strange robotic tentacle came out of the robot and injected z-12 with a black ooze-like substance, z-12 had the horrible sensation that a worm started crawling underneath his skin, but he had orders, and he wasnt allowed to doubt dr's plans, so he got himself infected at 100%
Eggman: good boy... -on a screen in the robot's chest-
z-12 fell to the floor once the robot let go off him, he quickly took his hands to his stomach, and started coughing out that black ooze, slowly, some strange black marks appeared on his face and body
Eggman: i think you deserve a treat... it will take me a while to arrive, so, feel free to explore this space colony, re-activate it if possible, its part of the mission anyway
z-12: -breathing slightly fast- understood...
he left the hangar and with ease made his way to one of the doors in order to explore, not even expecting that he would find something interesting..
