Two days later...
It's a new day, and at the Glitch Tech Headquarters, and guess what? Aaron's here.
He was originally here to talk with Phil for an upgrade for the Tech's tech, but he was finished faster than he thought, so he took this opportunity to check out the H.Q. with the free time he had.
We see him in the game room where almost everyone ends up meeting up at, and he had just finished introductions with Nix and Bergy.
Five then had the idea to show everyone N, which brings us to now.
On a holographic screen that came from Aaron's watch, it showed a sillhoette of the robot in question.
"Alright, N, come on out." Aaron said as he pressed on it.
A second later, some pixels and electricity came out of Aaron's watch, and made the shape of N...in battle mode. I'm talking claws and wings out, teeth jagged, and X across his screen.
He slashed his claws twice making everyone back up, Five and Miko, were the only ones not scared while backing up.
"N, we're not fighting anything right now." "Oh, my bad."
N's eyes were put back to normal, he put away his wings, then switched his claws for his normal hands.
N paid no attention to the frightened looks on everyone's faces, and turned his attention to his first two human friends.
"*waves* Hey, Five. Hi, Miko."
"Hey, N." "Sup, N & M's."
N then turned his attention to everyone else in the room.
"I'm Serial Designation N. Nice to meet you." The Murder Drone introduced, "I'm pretty much the brains of teamwork I have here with Aaron."
"He's not." "Aaron, wait! You weren't meant to tell them that! (under breath) Biscuits..."
Aaron patted N's shoulder and said, "You don't need to lie to make a good impression, N. No two beings are the same. Just be you."
N smiled. "Thanks, Aaron."
Aaron continued, "You guys have pet Glitches, so I'm making partner Glitches. This is N. He's from a video game I've been working on called Murder Drones. He's a little...off sometimes, but he's a cool guy."
Everyone who wasn't Aaron, Miko, or Five, cautiously went up to N.
The robot held out a hand to Bergy, who moved back in fright at first, but after seeing that nothing happened and the kind smile on N's face, he hesitantly shook it.
After seeing N was harmless, at the moment, everyone started socializing with him. This is going well.
A bit later...
"And, he's done it again." "NOOOO! *slumps out of seat*"
That's the sound of Miko losing to Aaron on a P.V.P. game. He's played against everyone in this room, and he hasn't lost yet. For a guy who's lost an arm, he's pretty good.
Miko was so close to winning, but Aaron rope-a-doped her and won.
"*gets up and points at Aaron* You cheated!" "How could I possibly cheat?" "You have a robot arm! How is that not cheating?!"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey! This arm may have a built-in fan, multi-tool, deep tissue massager, rock drill, weed wacker, taser, whipped cream dispenser, and a lot of other things, but never have I ever used it to cheat."
"*scoffs* Whatever." She said before taking a seat. Aaron rolled his eyes and stood up to stretch. He's sure there was gonna be no getting through to her.
N, who was sitting on the floor watching every match, and wasn't wearing his hat on the count of Zarha wearing it, he placed a comforting hand on Miko's shoulder.
She felt a little better.
"What a shocker." said a sarcastic voice.
In their heads, everyone groaned minus Aaron and N.
In came the most experienced, yet most annoying Glitch Tech out of everyone working here: Mitch Williams.
Said person walked over to Aaron.
"So, you're the Meta Runner everyone's been talking about." Mitch said before examining Aaron's getup, "Honestly, I was expecting more."
"Just call me Aaron. You must be the fabled Mitch Williams, who I've heard so much about."
"The one and only." he said, wiping his knuckles across his shirt before saying as he walked away.
He looked back at Aaron and scoffed, "Phil really could've hired better."
"Oh, you did not." Aaron said, activating his Meta Gear.
"What are you gonna do about it?" Mitch said with a smirk.
Time for a Quicksilver moment.
For those who're unfamiliar with Quicksilver moments, it's when a character with super speed does something so fast, that it looks like everything else is in slow motion. However, to us, that character in question moves so fast, that what it looks like they did in a few minutes, actually happened a second or two.
Anyway, right after Mitch said that, time slowed down. Everything and everyone's like in super slow-mo. Aaron was the only one not though.
He winked at the viewers, yes you, before running off with the super speed from his gear, leaving his jacket behind and floating in the air.
He came back with three different fountain drinks and a parfait and placed them upside-down above Mitch's head before opening the tops on the fountain drinks.
He ran off again and came back with a black felt marker and drew on Mitch's face some glasses, big eyebrows, a goatee, and on Mitch's forehead, the crest/symbol that's on Aaron's gear.
He ran off one more time and came back with a string of Christmas lights. He ran around Mitch with them and they were now circled around him in the air. All it took was a swift yank and they would be wrapped around him tight.
But before he did that, he ran back to his coworkers and pulled their phones out of their pockets, turned on their cameras, and placed them in each of his friends hands, putting their thumbs on the button to take the picture. As for N, Aaron placed his own hand into the Murder Drone's hand and turned on it's camera and did the same.
Aaron then ran to get his jacket, put it on, and ran to a socket in the wall.
But he then remembered something. He ran to Mitch, and moved one of his own fists up to his faces, then ran back to the wall.
He plugged in the Christmas lights as he deactivated his gear and leaned against the wall with his own smirk.
When that happened, time was back to normal and camera clicks were heard after Mitch punched himself in the face, fell to the floor wrapped up in the lights, as the drinks and parfait splashed on his hair and top of his head.
Mitch was at a loss for words as everyone laughed at the picture on the phones.
"Wha-? Huh-? What just ha-?" He didn't know what to say.
"You were saying, Mitch?" Aaron said, checking his knuckles out on his mechanical hand.
Mitch scowled before struggling in the bind he was in. He got free and said with irritation in his voice as he was trying to get the stuff out of his hair, "Well played..."
Aaron called out after him, "Oh, and look in the mirror. You got a little something on your face."
After he walked to N, and was given his phone back, he said, "That my friends, is how you dethrone a king."
"We are gonna get along great." Zarha said.
As if on cue, T.A.R.I. called Aaron on his glasses.
"Yeah, give me a minute, guys."
Aaron privately chatted with T.A.R.I.. After he was done, he looked at N and said, "N, come on, we're heading to the east side of Bailley."
"Why?" he asked, putting his hat back on.
"Why else? We're going to war. *activates Meta Gear* C'mon!"
Aaron ran out of the room, and N flew after him.
Everyone knew where they were going, and they decided to join in on it. Even Mitch, who was almost knocked over by Aaron running by.
Out on the streets, the Techs were in their vans, and Aaron and N were speeding in front of them: Aaron running, and N flying.
I'm surprised N can actually fly as fast as Aaron can run.
"Okay, N, first time out in the field. You ready?" "Ready!"
Saying that, Aaron spawned his blasters into his hands, and N's hands were switched with his clawed hands.
The two of them sped ahead, and what was ahead on the east edge of Bailley, were a bunch of spaceship-like drones that were black and green.
Right now, all you could see were two blurs taking out drones left and right, one yellow and silver, and one blue.
"Leave some for the rest of us, you two!" Five said over comms.
"You're too slow! Get over here already and join the fight!" Aaron said back.
It didn't take too long, but by the time they got there, a third of the drones were already gone. Those two were that fast.
"Took you long enough." Aaron said before ducking as N sent a drone flying towards the ground.
"Sorry!" "It's good, N. You're doing great!" Aaron said as he spun around and kicked a drone.
Now that the Techs were joining the battle, the fleet of drones were depleting quickly.
After taking out some more from the sky, N landed next to Aaron. Aaron smiled at N before he noticed something in the far east.
"Uh, anyone else seeing a huge Mothership in the distance? Trying to make sure I'm not crazy."
Everyone looked where Aaron was looking and saw something heading towards the area in the distance.
Like Aaron said, it was a huge Mothership with the same color scheme as the drones. It was too big to not see.
"Relax, you're not crazy." Nix said.
"Thanks. Glad to hear it."
It was far away, but if this ship was near Bailley, everyone in town would see it, which is the last thing we want to happen.
"By the time we finish up, that thing'll be here!" Haneesh said.
Mitch looked unhappy as he looked towards Aaron and N who were respectively looking back with a smirk, and slurping a soda with a straw while waving.
How and when N got the soda, I'll have no idea.
Anyway, the two were fast, but he wasn't gonna let some newbie and his 'friend' one-up him.
He looked down at his gauntlet and activated his boost, but when he looked up at Aaron and N, they were already gone.
Mitch looked into the distance and saw a blue blur and a yellow and silver blur heading towards the Mothership.
"Oh no you don't." Mitch then used his boost and ran after the two of them. His pride couldn't take the fact that the new kid was almost as good as he was.
Everyone else however called out to Mitch, because they needed the extra hands to deal with the drones, but he was already gone.
As for the Meta Runner and the Murder Drone, they made it a good distance away from it, but then, compartments opened from both sides of the ship.
Some released slightly smaller drones that were like the others, but were the size of a living room recliner. Other compartments opened to reveal huge cannons that were aimed at the two of them as they got closer.
"Look out!" N exclaimed.
At high speed, the two of them dodged blasts from the Mothership and the drones.
After that, Aaron said, "N, give me a ride."
N flew above Aaron, who held his hand out to him. N grabbed it, and swung Aaron on top of him. His grip function made it possible so that he wouldn't fall off of N's back while he's standing.
Aaron readied his blasters, and N switched his clawed hands for his missile launchers. In a second, they flew around the ship.
While flying around it as fast as they possibly could, the firepower from the two of them made pieces of the ship fall off.
Mitch was running after them on the ground, but he stopped.
Why? Because after Aaron and N shot off the cannons on the Mothership, it's thrusters started to fail from the damage, and the Mothership started a fast decent towards the ground.
Mitch suddenly thought it was a good idea to run the other way.
The Meta Runner and his partner Glitch had to make this fast as they are.
They flew by Mitch, and N snatched him with his tail wrapped around him.
"N, fly backwards!" "I've never done that before!" "Just shut up, do it, and have some faith in me!"
N reluctantly flew backwards and the two of them kept shooting the falling Mothership.
And it's working.
With all those hits, they managed to blow the ship to bits!
Aaron and N cheered for themselves as what was left went into Aaron's gear.
"Nothin' to it but to do it! N, you were phenomenal!" "Really?" "Yes, really! Slap me some metal!"
N then smiled as he high fived Aaron's cybernetic hand.
"Yes, whoo-hoo." Mitch said sarcastically, "Now will you get us to the ground already?!"
"We can drop you right here and now, you know."
No reply.
"Good."
They then flew back to their co-workers, who were glad to see them.
Later...
"And, he's done it again. Still think Phil could've hired better?" "Rematch!" "We've done three rematches!"
If you couldn't tell, Aaron and Mitch were playing the same P.V.P. game as earlier when everyone headed back. Aaron beat Mitch four times.
The first time, Mitch thought it was beginner's luck. The next few times, he couldn't let go of his pride and wanted a rematch.
As for everyone watching, it was rare for someone to beat Mitch Williams. So everyone was quiet.
"N, you wanna turn?" "Sure. I love doing anything."
N grabbed the controller, but Mitch didn't let go. It turned into a tug of war until N accidentally flung Mitch into the wall.
"Shoot! Sorry, Mitch! Are you okay?!" N panicked. When you're a robot, you sometimes forget your own strength.
Mitch's response was a groan.
"See? He's fine." Aaron said, "Now c'mon, I'll teach you how to play."
N took a seat, and the two played...ignoring Mitch's death glare as he was stuck upside-down in the wall.
