What happens in the ruins stays in the ruins!
The road to the ruin was smaller than I thought it was, in fact it just turned out to be a trail, but we found it at least. After the servbot barer got stuck once or twice we got to the ruin entrance and started waiting for 40 to return.
"What is taking 40 so long?" I roared at no one in particular.
"We don't know." Everyone replied. As I was fuming and using the finkel to torture the servbots for no reason but to pass the time, Russell and Tutle came up the road to the entrance.
"Hello little friends. why are you so blue?" Russell called as he walked up the road. #37 instantly ran up to him.
"our team mate #40 seems to have gotten himself lost and we our unable to locate him." The servbot said.
"hmm, quite the change in personality, what ever happened to the sweet little guy I knew?" the old man asked half jokingly.
"I'm more serious than my brothers, but I think that you're a good person, and good people always find a good person to connect to…Right?" the servbot said. [
That was #37 the biggest idealist I know of.]
"Well I wouldn't think that is always true but it is common." Russell laughed.
"Here if you want company I can wait here with you." Russell suggested.
"Thank-you." 37 replied. I gave the concept a quick thought and decided against it.
"No, 37 we cant have Russell waiting with you." I quickly informed the servbot.
"Umm, never mind…it would be in our best interest if you go on ahead." # 37 said to Russell trying to explain his sudden change in mind.
"alright, but just to warn you all, Denise has been going near mad recently, putting out a alert for a bunch of guys who look like a evil version of you." Russell said with a sly smile as he walked into the ruin.
[Does he know? Does he know who we are?] A moment or two after Russell left into the ruin 40 finally showed up. 40 was panting heavily when he arrived.
"what took you so long?!" I growled at him when he met up with the group. I could hear Roll puff behind me, so I span around in my chair to face her. "What?! He is putting me behind schedule. I can't waste any time, Roll!" I said self defensively.
"Tron, you can't act like that…" Roll began, but I just tuned her out. I swiveled my chair around and faced the screen.
"Alright everyone inside…NOW!" I ordered not holding back a single ounce of my boredom. The servbots were quick to move into the entry aria of the ruin. The entry card device was simple enough, one scanned their card and then it allowed that one digger or that digger team to enter. The servbots scanned their cards and entered.
"thought I might wait for you. so Denise didn't think to check the diggers guild, hmm." Russell's voice said from beside the door.
"listen, I don't know why she has always disliked you guys, so I'll just warn you stay out of trouble or I'll have to side with her, OK?" the servbots were all frozen in place and could only manage to nod their heads.
"w-we are good guys we, have-have never done anything, umm, bad!" #37 responded.
"Right. Well anyway, be careful out there the Reaverbots and traps here are very dangerous." Russell said, somewhat encouraging somewhat threatening. I looked up from the screen to see Roll standing next to me frowning at me.
"Can you leave I am busy right now." I scowled at her.
"Tron have you thought about being nice to anyone at all? You don't seem to care about your own family even." she said in a calm but threatening voice.
I looked at her for a moment caught up in what she said.[ What is wrong with me? Suddenly after just a few moments I became so hostile I have pushed everyone away…is it because I feel threatened by Roll? Is there something deeper? Bon Bonne, I completely forgot you in all of this I never even tried to cheek on you after I hurt you, and Teisel…I-I haven't done anything for Teisel, what am I becoming? I need to get myself back on track, I can't do everything and I-I think I should put my own pride aside and let progress and kindness go forward.]
"Roll…Roll you, ummm, I, your-your right I-I haven't been the person I should be, forgive me. I-I think you should help me control this mission, I think I might ruin it." I told her, unsure what to say, and ashamed of my own behavior.
Roll looked shocked, "Well that is an improvement, Tron I-I think I should get to know you better." She said, oh how shocked she looked I almost wanted to laugh.
"Alright Roll. Well how about your family, you seem to know enough about mine." I said with a smile pulling a chair next to mine so she could help me control the finkel. Roll sat down slowly, almost as if she was scared by my sudden change. Roll looked at the Finkel's controls and we moved it forward deeper into the ruin, the advance was simple and everything we encountered near the entrance had either been removed or had a way to bypass it.
"Well I was raised by my grandfather, because my mother and father had disappeared on Forbidden Island a long time ago." She said as the servbot team slowly bypassed a trap that had little room to go around. As we moved forward we encountered a few obstacles that the servbots had to manually disable or dig through.
I glanced over at Roll when I had the chance. "I'm sorry to hear that." I said when I had the chance. The servbots reached a new obstacle, a large wall of metal that had a reaverbot guarding it, a Gorubeshu a type of reaverbot who hid behind a large shield until he revealed himself enough to fire his flame thrower gun. The reaverbot looked somewhat like a person wearing a straw basket hat if you ask me. I fired a beckon bomb into it's shield and the servbots threw bombs into the robots shield forcing it back a few feet away from a switch, well they call it a switch but really it is just a button on the floor. After the servbot forced it back they split up and threw bombs at it from all directions, catching it in a cross fire and destroying the robot.
"Miss Tron there is a on the floor should we hit it?" the servbots asked. I was unsure so I let Roll answer.
"Well we might as well try!" she said.
"Miss Roll? Umm, ok." The servbots said somewhat confused, and they hit the switch.
"You know Tron, I know about your brothers and you, but what about your parents?" Roll asked as the large wall lifted up showing a large open space behind. I was thinking, trying to remember my parents enough to answer Roll when the Servbot's frightened cry caught our attention.
"Miss Tron, Roll…h-h-help us!" they yelled as a huge Hanmuru Doll reaverbot came out of the darkness behind the wall. The reaverbot was large using four block-like legs for propulsion and a pair of clubs for arms, the reaverbot's head was also a small blockish cone with a single large eye and a etched smile on it. I quickly looked at Roll,
"Roll! What do we do!" I asked her. Roll grabbed the microphone and shouted commands into it.
"Listen, stay to the sides of these, they are powerful at the front but at the side they are vulnerable, if you have slings or a cannon you can probably break its defenses easily." she told the servbots quickly, in a worried voice. The servbots were quick to obey and hid at the reaverbot's sides and tried throwing bombs at it's feet but to no avail, the servbot on the borer even tried drilling the creatures legs.
"I said use guns or something your bombs are not working." Roll calmly shouted at the servbots. Suddenly a voice from the darkness called out,
"here I think I owe you this one!" and suddenly a red and yellow stick of dynamite flew and landed in-between the robots leg joints.
The servbots all looked very excited and started shouting "Mr. Dantz it's you!"
"Hurry up get in here!" came the reply to their shouts of joy, and not too late either, after the servbots entered into the room a large explosion shook the other room and the reaverbot completely disappeared. The servbots started looking around happily calling out
"Mr. Dantz, Mr. Dantz!?" as they looked around a mining helmet light turned on behind them.
"well I never thought I would see you all ever again!" Dantz exclaimed happily. I looked at Dantz, actually able to remember him, only he didn't make the impression that he was a loser anymore, sure his hair was still uncared for and his thin face was still that of a knuckle head but something in how he held himself and the slight change in his cloths from a simple outfit to a specially padded cloths set, made him look more experienced.
"Hmm, looks like I still have to learn more about safety with those ultra dynamite sticks." He exclaimed rubbing his chin.
"Mr. Dantz it is you! oh, we missed seeing you so much!" #6 shouted excitedly. Roll looked at me questioningly.
"he was a digger we meet up with a few years ago, but when we met him he was the biggest looser I had ever seen." I told her. Suddenly #28 entered the bridge and ran up to my legs,
"Miss Tron…I- I miss master Teisel…I can't sleep, I keep seeing his face." the little robot cried at my feet. I ignored the conversation between Dantz and the others and looked down at the servbot.
"you know I miss him to, even if I cant remember his face, I really want to bring him back and we will do that once we finish fixing the Gesellschaft, deal?" I told the servbot with a smile and a reassuring tone.
"All-alright Miss Tron." The servbot said and started to leave. When I turned around to return to work I found Roll looking at me with a new understanding on her face.
"did you learn that from your mother?" she asked.
"Learn what!" I asked blankly returning to work, now watching as the servbots followed Dantz to whatever he was going to show them.
"How did you learn to act like a parent, to be reassuring and tender?" she asked again.
"I-I don't think so, I don't remember much, I don't think I spent much time with her." I said. Roll looked at me somewhat knowingly.
. ******
We quickly returned to the task at hand, and I was relieved to have something stall our conversation. Dantz had now reached the spot where he had been taking the servbots and he looked about.
"now I have been stuck here for the past few days, I can't seem to find a way I can get past this wall safely, but with you guys and your drilling machine we can get past." Dantz said hopefully. Dantz looked at the servbots with a confused face suddenly and started counting with his fingers.
"Hay weren't their five of you?" he asked.
[What! We lost a servbot already?]
"Don't worry Mr. Dantz I sent #8 back to keep watch, I heard that pirates were coming this way." #26 told him.
"oh, really I haven't been above ground fro some time now. I have been trying to find Perl for almost two weeks now but scene we split up I haven't found her anywhere, and no one in any of the towns claim to have seen her for some time now so I am starting to worry about her." Dantz said, a little concern showing in his eyes.
"hay, I have always seen that little thing flying with you guys but what is it?" Dantz said gesturing to the finkel. I quickly looked over at Roll and pushed the microphone in front of her.
"what do you want me to say." She silently asked as I started flipping on the finkle's speakers.
"Just say hi." I replied. The servbots on the screen all started looking at each other trying to think of something to say when Roll began to speak through the finkel's speakers.
"Well it looks like you got me, my name is Roll." She said. All the servbots quickly took to the lie and joined in.
"yes this is Miss Roll our, ummm, partner!" #16 said from inside the servbot borer. Roll was really talented in her words, but then again that is probably something she learned from being a spotter so long.
"so are you and Perl still together or did you two just happen to be here?" she asked as if she actually knew him. Roll leaned back and whispered into my ear,
"quick write down everything you remember about Perl, Dantz, and anyone else of importance you think I should 'remember'."
"Right." I replied and started writhing. As I watched. I remembered plenty about Dantz, how he was scared by reaverbots, how he couldn't dodge a trap worth his life, and how he saved Perl. I also wrote a small description of Perl, how last time we met she was more of a young girl and how she would utter stuff under her breath, and even how she gave us the key to the last aurora stone after Dantz saved her.
As I was writing Roll leaned up to the microphone and started giving orders to the servbots "all right lets dig right through that wall!" she commanded and #16 complied running the borer right up to the wall and tunneling through it.
"So Mr. Dantz what are you and Perl doing here." A servbot said, getting Dantz attention.
"Sorry I don't even think I answered your question. Well yes Perl and I teamed up after we saved her. Since then I have even been trying to get up the courage to ask her to marry me." He said.
"hmm, well where do you think she might have ended up?" Roll asked.
"Perl might have joined up with a digger team or something deeper in the ruins, but I haven't found any paths that I can use to get any deeper in than this, but I am very hopeful to find her." Dantz replied.
[She probably ditched you, you dork. She wasn't the nicest of people you know]. I looked over at Roll,
"Roll ask him if she might have left him." I told her, which she did but Dantz was convinced otherwise and we continued deeper into the ruin.
. ******
Once the servbot had finished digging a very long tunnel we started to go in, I lowered the finkels altitude enough that I wouldn't hit the roof on the way in and we proceeded. Once we had reached the other side of the tunnel #8 came running through the tunnel.
"Miss Tro……" he started to shout be the other servbots silenced him before he could say my full name. they quickly whispered into his ear, trying to look calm in front of Dantz but it looked like our little cover-up was over.
"Miss Roll, Miss Roll. The police say the pirates have broken into the ruins!" he said innocently. Fortunately Dantz was still very gullible.
"Oh, really we better hurry and find Perl, before those pirates come and cause trouble!" he said and our little procession continued forward. As we moved forward we came across evidence of a camp on a split between two paths and Dantz perked up.
"see I told you someone was deeper in, maybe Perl was with them!" Dantz shouted excitedly.
"Alright lets go forward!" #40 cheered running into the path on the right. As we went on the group found some small groups of reaverbots and after a few instant battles we came to a really nasty trap. Upon reaching it Roll looked at me and proclaimed,
"Just look at that trap! Fire bombs, electrified floors, swinging maces and it looks like a reaverbot on the other side waiting for anyone to get by!" the servbots spent some time looking around the trap trying to find a switch. "I don't think anyone could have gotten by this trap." # 26 said.
"No I can tell someone got by." Dantz said after examining the floor.
[Hmph, I doubt you even know what you're saying.] I thought to myself.
"you can tell because for one the floor current is stronger, almost as if someone added a few extra batteries to it, next I know because last few traps like this the reaverbot sat in the middle of the trap so it could kill people as they tried to get past it." He said,
"well that and I can see Perl's mark over on the other side of it, Perl and I decided to leave marks so we could find one anther wile we we're digging." Dantz added.
"Oh, that is really smart; I wish Miss T-Roll had that idea!" #6 said almost slipping up.
"Hay does anyone have a pair of binoculars or something of that sort?" Dantz asked.
"Why?" the servbots replied.
"Perl decided to get tricky with her signs so when ever there is another way around a trap she would alter her sign." Dantz said taking a telescope from a servbot.
"Yes! There it is, we need to go back and take the other path, that one's trap is off right now." He said calmly, but I could hear a lot of excitement in his voice despite.
. ******
We went back to the camp but were surprised to find someone there waiting for us. "Well, well! Errawk! Look here I found a little group of pests, little worms for a snack! Ki ki!" a birdbot with a rocket launcher taunted.
"A Birdbot?" I silently asked myself. Roll leaned towards the screen,
"they must be here to gather supplies, in order to fix their ship! Quick stop them!" she shouted the servbots all charged forward at the birdbot but were surprised by an ambush by six other birdbots.
"Ouch" one servbot cried as he was hit by a kick to the head. I was incredibly tense right then, I wanted to be there to help, but I wasn't and I couldn't. Roll looked like she wanted to do something to.
"Tron does the finkel have anything you can use as a weapon?' she asked,in a hurried manner. I thought for a moment, the finkel didn't have any weapons except for the becon bomb but that relied on the servbots.
"Wait, we can use the finkel to ram them!" I remembered. Aloud.
"Then hurry Tron! Do it!" Roll shouted at me. I was quick to move the finkel up to one of the birdbots and then increased so that the blow to the birdbots head knocked it unconscious, Dantz then joined into the battle then using karate in order to defeat the birdbots. After we had subdued all but three birdbots ,who had ran away, we tied them up and even sent #40 back to attract the police to the birdbots location. While #40 went to get the police we went down the other path to find the way around the trap. As we walked down the path Dantz gave the servbots a curious look and then asked,
"how did you know about the Birdbots? I mean how did you know they were finding supplies to fix, well whatever they were fixing?" he asked.
[Darn you Roll, you ruined everything! Now look what do we do now?]
"We got into a fight with them that damaged both our ships, we came out in better shape and I didn't think they would show up, they wanted to steal our supplies so they could raid the ruin I think.." Roll said, half apologetically, half prideful.
I leaned over by Roll and whispered, "oh, how ever did you learn to lie like this?"
"Quite! I learned from you Tron, you lie all the time to me and megaman." She retorted. I simply stayed quite after that. We went down a number of hall ways, every now and then I had to use a beckon bomb, to order the servbots to attack a reaverbot that I noticed or to dig a hole or even investigate something new.
. ******
We kept going deeper and deeper into the ruin and as we went we found more and more evidence that someone was here before us. After what now seemed like an eternity of being silent and prompted by the fact that dantz was going to set up camp with the servbots and go to bed I decided to try and ask about Roll's family again.
"Roll, your parents can you tell me more about them?" I asked unsure about myself.
"well after they disappeared I decided to try and find them, I was sure that somehow my parents would be found somewhere with the Mother load, I think that might have been a reason why I have viewed you as a enemy for so long, because you have always been between myself and the mother load." Roll said without a trace of deception in her voice.
"What about you Tron?" she asked.
"My parents were pirates, so of course that is what my brothers and I became. So you have found two 'mother loads' have you found them?" I answered swiftly and turned the conversation back to Rolls family.
"well this is where it gets complicated…(yawn)…you see I found someone who I think is connected to my father might even be him, but the man lost his memory and doesn't want to get involved with his past life. And do you remember the strange event on the Sulpher-bottom, with the woman and the reaverbot, the event that started our last adventure?" Roll asked her head starting to nod, as she and I almost fell asleep where we sat.
"#1 will you go get Roll and me some blankets pillows and mats?" I requested. As the servbot left Roll continued.
"Well, I thought she looked like my mother but did stuff my mother would never do, and as it turned out she was and was not my mother." Roll said.
[Maybe the stress has gotten her, is and is notr a person can't be like that either she is or is not your mom Roll decide already is she or is she no your mother]
. "Hay Roll, I'm pretty tired how about you?" I suggested to Roll hoping she would go to sleep and make more sense in the morning.
"Tron sure it doesn't sound sane, but it is true. See it is my mom, but right now she is being, how do I put this, controlled ,no, possessed by someone else who had saved her a long time ago but needed her body after saving her." Roll said, still not making any sense at all.
#1 finally arrived with the blankets, sleeping pads, and pillows for Roll and I to sleep on. I quickly grabbed my sleep clothes and threw them on while all the servbots had their backs turned. Roll decided to take more time went to the restroom and changed there into the sleep cloths we provided her. By the time she returned, #1 was taking shift using the finkle to patrol around the camp of Dantz and the servbots, and I was lying in my own little bed half-asleep.
Once she had gotten into her bed I smiled sleepily and said, "Good night and good luck with your crazy mom." And fell completely asleep.
. ******
I think I am just cursed with my dreams.
[What do you want from me?] I screamed at the figures around me, one dressed in green he was looking more and more familiar, another dressed in blue and looking foreboding yet also kind in some way. [I can't help you if you don't speak to me!] I now growled.
Next suddenly Bon Bonne appeared in their midst. "Tron, you hurt me! Why? Tron, Tron why…DO you still love me? Do you still care for family?" Bon accused me.
[No! I love you Bon, forgive me forgive me!] I wept. Then as the dream continued the picture of our parents Teisel owned appeared and my parents stepped out from it.
"Tron, oh how you have changed. You're not the kind girl we used to love anymore. Instead your just pirate. You're just like Glyde, Tron, just like him. How dare you deny family" My mother told me.
[No! No! stop it, stop it!] I screamed grabbing my head, the mist of this place now becoming thicker. Next I saw Roll come out of the mist with a slightly older woman, the woman had shorter but same colored hair as roll that except for two sideburns formed a sort of bowl around her head, and she wore bright red lipstick and had bright blue eyes. [Roll help me!] I pleaded.
"why should I, I have my mother. My mother doesn't think I am a crook, I never did anything wrong." Roll replied.
[Roll! Help me!] I screamed now in tears.
"Tron, your mine now!" the blue boy said
. ******
. "No let Go, don't touch me!" I screamed leaping out of my bed. Roll was standing over me, looking both concerned and annoyed with me. Also a bunch of servbots were huddled around with weird expressions on their faces.
"ummm, Miss Tron…do you usually talk bad things in your sleep?" one asked choosing his words carefully.
"What-what did I say?" I asked, not remembering talking as I slept. Roll looked at me with a disapproving face,
"well you started cursing everything, then you started cursing me for almost an half hour!" she said, very angrily.
"Sounds completely different from my dream, in my dream I was begging for your help." I replied. Roll just rolled her eyes at me,
"alright. Tron lets get to work and we can settle this later." She said, calmly. She was almost always calm I wish I could stay as calm as she is.
"Alright." I replied cautiously. The camp that the servbot team and Dantz was almost as we left it, only now Dantz was taking the camp apart. Dantz looked over at the finkel and saw it flying.
"hay does your friend ever sleep?" he asked the servbots.
"Umm, yes but she only, ummm, sleeps when she knows were safe." #35 lied.
"Alright let's go deeper in." Dantz commanded joyously. The rest of the day was not too eventful we ran across a number of ingenious traps that used reaverbots, and almost anything one could find in this ruin to try and crush Dantz and the servbots. After walking a while Dantz turned and looked at the servbots and asked,
"hay what do you guys think. We haven't encountered any large reaverbots for a while, I think that this must be the wrong way to the refractor or something." Dantz said.
"ummm, Miss Roll what do you think?" #37 prompted.
"Well if you are going the right way then there must be a big trap or something closer to the refractor room." Roll replied.
[Of course there would be, I mean this ruin is supposed to be extremely deadly, you knuckle heads.] "Good suggestion Roll!" I complemented enthusiastically.
"Hay did you hear someone speak?" Dantz asked right after I complemented Roll.
[Me and my big mouth!]
"Umm, no Mr. Dantz." #8 lied; we were lying a lot recently.
"Didn't you hear that it, came from up ahead! I think it is Perl! Hurry come on!" Dantz yelled running ahead of the troop of servbots. The servbots first took off following Dantz but then stopped for a second.
"Umm, did you hear that?" they asked each other in alarmed voices.
We stayed quiet for a moment and could hear someone shouting commands behind us.
"Look another camp, they must have gone this way, alright we are going to get those criminals this time!" I could hear Denise shouting to someone.
I grabbed the microphone and took command of the servbots, "hurry get going, if we get deeper in we can lose her quickly, move!" after I shouted 'Move' the servbots took off as fast as they could deeper into the ruin right after Dantz.
After they had caught up with Dantz he lead them through a series of tunnels as he found one mark or heard a sound or another. Finally the winding path took Dantz, the servbots and the finkel into a large cave-like room with a large, black pit in the middle as well as stalagmites and columns everywhere. On the other side of the room sat a single woman, she sat there staring at a door almost as if she was in a trance.
Dantz looked excited to see her, "Perl! Perl over here! Look I found you!" he shouted. The girl got up slowly as if she were tired.
"Dantz is that you?" she asked, almost as if she couldn't believe he had even made it this far.
[Then again I can't believe it].
"Perl, it is me, and look who I found on my way here!" he replied loudly, running around the pit and hugging her.
"Hello Miss Perl!" #6 shouted and waved to her. Perl looked as if she was going to cry.
["Doesn't look like that little brat has changed much, I can't believe that he still thinks she likes him".] I thought to myself, but was caught by surprise when she kissed Dantz on the lips in a passionate way.
Perl almost looked the same as last I saw her, she still had the childish but narrow face she had when we last meet, she also hadn't changed her brown hair from the same old look with a blue ribbon in it , and she still had the same blue dress with a work belt on it, except now she had a large backpack on. Perl after a moment took on a more serious face and asked,
"Dantz, do you still have the room key I gave you?"
"uhh, yea I still do. I've got it in my backpack, do you want if?" Dantz replied. Then she looked a little relieved and muttered something under her breath.
[Thought so, she hasn't changed has she]?
"So, how did you guys show up here?" she asked the servbots with a level of aw in her voice.
"we needed to fix our ship after it , ahh, ran out of power!" #40 lied
…[I am getting tired of lying to these people.]
"Oh, too bad, the refractor is Dantz and mine this time, we have the key." She replied, and then she turned around accepted the key from Dantz, and stuck the ancient card into a slot on the door. The door opened slowly and when it did it revealed a refractor held in a suspension field right behind it. Roll looked confused next to me.
"I thought that there would be a trap or something waiting…DON'T TOUCH THE REFRACTOR!" she shouted into the microphone but too late. Perl grabbed the refractor and the room started to shake.
"ki ki! Suckers!" a birdbot called out from the other side of the room, just as a huge reaverbot came up from the pit. The reaverbot was massive and looked awkward. It looked like a large pincer with a pair of curved blades coming out from it's sides, even more strange was that this Reaverbot was so large that it could not come out of the pit enough to move.
"your done for! Ki ki! With both that reaverbot and we remaining birdbots we'll be too much of a match for you! errawk!" the birdbot said pulling out some sort of computer board as two other birdbot came into the room.
"Dantz, look if the reaverbot moves it might bring the ceiling down on us!" Perl called pointing to where the Reaverbots pincer blades meet with the ceiling of the cavern.
"ummm, Miss, errr, aw, Miss Tron we encountered a lot of these in the ruins of Diana's tear remember!" #37 shouted over the shaking of the room. I grabbed the microphone out of Rolls hands,
"so?" I demanded.
"well, didn't these shoot out smaller reaverbots?" the servbot retorted, and just as he did a pair of similar looking Arijig leaped out of the gigantic reaverbot, but these reaverbots were about man sized, and walked on a tripod set of legs.
"wait, why aren't the reaverbots attacking those Birds?" Dantz asked, pointing out the fact that indeed the birdbots and reaverbots were working together. Roll then snatched the microphone out of my hands,
"everybody look! The head birdbot over there he has some sort of device he must be controlling the reaverbots or something similar." She informed everyone. The first reaverbot advanced on our position and the servbots attacked, though the reaverbot was a difficult enemy by itself. The two other birdbots and a force of now six reaverbots descended on the servbots, Dantz and Perl. The group fought back heroically, the servbots used bombs tripping up the Arijig and destroying a few, Dantz and Perl must have learned martial arts since last we met because they held back the two birdbots all by themselves. As they fought I tried to sneak the finkel past the reaverbot to the birdbot with the control but as I advanced on the bird, I could hear the servbots start crying In pain and Dantz and Perl yell in rage. I span the finkel's camera around to see the reason for the cries.
[No! oh, please no!] I thought when I saw what had happened. All of the servbots were now trapped in-between the pincer blades of the Arijig by their heads and Perl was now being held by the birdbots who had bombs strapped to her back.
The head birdbot looked at the finkel with a look of triumph and started making demands. "look now, errawk, we wont let these reaverbots have their way with your little friends here if you come along quietly understood!" he said looking at the finkel. Roll looked scared sitting next to me, I bet I looked just as scared.
[No! I can't let Glyde win, I am going to just ignore that little brat and take him down before he can realize what hit him we'll have the refractor.] I thought to myself, but then my dream came back to me.
"You're not the kind girl we used to love anymore. Instead your just pirate. You're just like Glyde, Tron, just like him.]" My mother's voice accused me.
"err, you win!" I replied over the finkel's speakers. Both Perl and Dantz looked slightly confused as they noticed the voice from the finkel's speakers changed from Rolls soft voice to my somewhat harsher voice.
"good, now give me your coordinates so Glyde can pick you up. Ki ki! We're getting bonuses for sure this year! Ki ki!" the bird cheered. I was about to give him the Gesellschaft's coordinates when I saw something move behind him.
"hurry up will…oomph!" the birdbot said as Denise kicked him on the back of the head and her police force rushed in.
of course the birdbot just had to accidentally land on the control for the reaverbots, smashing it, letting the reaverbots free from his control. I could see Russell come into the cavern behind Denise and he ran to start fighting the large reaverbot in the pit, it now started spaying Arijig all around, Arijig who started attacking whomever they saw. As for the two birdbots who had Perl the reaverbots who had the servbots turned on them and took them out before they could do any harm, but now the reaverbots were attacking everyone and police were everywhere fighting the Arijig which would make it hard to escape. I looked around into the confusion and saw the refractor lying on the ground. I turned the finkel to face it and fired a beckon bomb into the refractor, the servbots took notice #16 jumped out of the borer and ran to it and grabbed the refractor.
"quick lets get out of here!" I shouted to the servbots.
"Yes mam!" they eagerly replied and started for the door.
"hay! Perl shouted as we made our way to the door. I turned the finkel around to see the chaos that enveloped the room, with the reaverbot in the middle things looked bleak for everyone inside, if it moved too much they would be crushed, if it continued to spit out Arijig like it was then they would be overrun.
"# 35 do you still have the special weapon?" I asked.
"yes mam!" he replied. "quick use it on the large reaverbot!" I ordered. #35 did as he was told pulled out a one shot bonne cannon from his back and fired. The shot flew true, hit the reaverbot and completely destroyed it.
"alright lets get out of here!" I shouted after watching the robot shriek and sink into the pit, but Denise had another idea and started shouting.
"STOP! You're all under arrest!" she shouted and ran towards the servbots, who in turn started running all the faster away. The servbots and the finkel, driven by me, followed the path we took in order to reach the main room. After passing a few small land marks, mostly made by Perl while she was ahead of Dantz, we reached where the camp should have been. Instead we found a horror worse than what was in the main room.
"Miss Tron save me!" #35 cried aloud.
"quick turn around!" Roll shouted at me and the servbots. I span the finkel around and it and the servbots took off as fast as they could, closely followed by a small army of Hanmuru Dolls who pounded the ground right behind the servbots.
As we ran Denise showed up with a force of police men in front of us. "STOP RIGHT….AHHH!" she cried seeing us followed by the large precision of large reaverbots. Now I was leading a small crowd of people through this maze trying to find an escape from the reaverbots. At last we reached the trapped room from before, but now the trap had been deactivated and the room was simply filled with small snake like reaverbots. Denise screamed seeing them and leapt around, hopping from foot to foot still trying to follow us as the servbots, not as afraid of these little snake-like reaverbots quickly made their way across the room and bolted for the tunnel we came in this section through.
. ******
As we rushed forward suddenly #40 stopped and started looking around. "Miss Tron, the refractor! We dropped it!" he whined. "
What!? No NOT now!" I replied. "Quick find it!" the servbots looked around the room trying to find the missing refractor, sure it was a large shining crystal, but this was a large and semi lit tunnel.
"Looking for this?" a cold and smooth voice said from behind us. The servbots turned to face a small robot. The robot was built to look like a skeleton, painted white, and with a skull head. In its hand it held the refractor.
"Give that back!" shouted one of the servbots. I looked at the servbot, it looked like the robots from those really old pirate warnings that one could find on posters and milk cartons.
Roll looked at the robot for a moment and then gasped, "it can't be!"
I looked at Roll in surprise, "what? Who is that? What can't be?" I asked.
"Tron, that's one of the pirobots. They worked for some of the most powerful pirates back when my gramps was just a boy, but they disappeared for no reason one day." She told me.
"so I'm going to fight a ghost, just to get back my refractor?" I quizzically said to her. I then leaned closer to the microphone,
"alright you little pest, give me back my refractor. Or else my kids here will have to turn you to dust!" I threatened. The robot leaned back and laughed,
"I take it that you are the Tron person my master wants so bad. Listen kid, Leon is going to be very upset to learn that you broke our controller, he is also mad to know that you and Glyde are fighting as you are. Now I understand that ,as the birdie says, you are refusing to comply. But I also know that cats like you need to be correctly courted so you will slide with the dance and not fool yourselves up." I didn't understand what the robot said.
"what?" I asked in a very confused voice.
"aww, key mon kiddy cat, don't you speak the tongue?" the robot asked in a frustrated voice.
"I don't understand what you are saying, now just hand over that refractor!" I ordered.
"listen cat, the man sent me fractor fish'n because he knew I'd spy ya… now I know we aren't exactly brothers here but the birdies are right you've got to come along quietly, the big man just wants to socialize with cha." The pirobot said, as if he was being honest.
Roll looked at me with a worried look. "listen, gramps told me that pirobots were deadly and dishonest, and they never worked for just one person. I don't like this." She whispered in my ear. I nodded in agreement and focused on the pirobot.
"I take it your not going to give back our refractor. Boys get him." I said blankly.
"umm, yes Miss Tron!" the servbots replied nervously.
"ahh, the kiddies want to do the hurting game….I am always happy to oblige!" the enemy robot taunted, throwing aside the refractor. The clash was fast the servbots through bombs at the robot and the pirobot suddenly pulled a buster arm piece and returned fire. His shooting knocked down 6, 37 and 40 before we had a chance to get close to hitting him.
#1 came up to my leg "Miss Tron, they can't beat him, he's too tough." #1 insisted. I looked at him angrily.
"well what do I do then?" I demanded.
"well the finkel does have a very, very powerful self destruct system, and well maybe we could grab the refractor blow him up and then just have the others just return to the ship?" #1 suggested. I watched as the pirobot knocked down #16.
"alright lets do it." I said and then started scanning the ground. I found the refractor far enough from the pirobot that the servbots could grab it, which they did. Then I turned the finkel towards the pirobot.
"your not getin' out of the blue boys's grip, they have you tied before you get off this island." He said, aiming his buster at the servbot with the refractor.
"I am not scared of cops. Boys sell the refractor quickly and get back to the Gesellschaft" but remember to leave about ¼ for Mr. Dantz I coldly said ramming the finkel up against him and hitting the self destruct button #1 handed me. Roll looked at me and smiled,
"Tron what now? I must admit your life is a little more interesting than I thought, and you are a little more kind than I thought." She said complimenting me.
"what are you talking about? I just don't want them to become bitter and ruin something for us later." I replied half jokingly.
*******
"What is taking them so long?" I asked as I paced the deck. [Now I wish I didn't destroy the finkel…at least I could see what the heck is going on.]
"Miss Tron they are here!" a servbot yelled coming into the bridge. Finally, now all I had to do was get that list of needed supplies from Roll and we could fix the Gesellschaft. I grabbed the ship intercom's hand piece.
"Roll do you have that list ready." I asked, I wanted to go down to the engine room myself but the servbots insisted I stay on the bridge.
Roll replied in an absent minded tone. "oh, sorry Tron, I guess I got carried away fixing your ship. Yes the list is ready, you wouldn't believe how little real damage their was to the ship. We could probably find the needed supplies in any local junk store." Roll replied over the intercom.
I waited for the servbots dig team to come to the bridge. "Miss Tron we have the money! We got the Money!" the cheered.
"right lets go to the engine room." I ordered. After ordering the servbots I quickly marched through the Gesellschaft and went down into the engine room. Once inside I looked around, I could see metal structures set up for servbots to use while repairing the ship, I could also see the hole that Glyde's ship had blown in the hull, the hole where I threatened Roll at.
"where is Roll?" I asked the first servbot who walked by. He gestured over at a corner of the room. I walked over and wasn't happy to see where Roll was. Roll had found Bon Bonne's body and now was looking in a open hatch on his back.
"What do you think you are doing!?" I screamed at the top of my lungs. "Don't you ever dare to touch Bon! He is my brother, he is my Brother! Stay away from him!" I continued screaming as Roll with a surprised look on her face pulled back from him.
[What has she done! How could I have let her…do, this! I can't even tell what sort of stuff she did to my baby brother…oh Bon, how could I have ever let myself hurt you, oh Bon why, why?] I cried inwardly.
"Babuu?(sister?)" I could faintly hear. "Bon? Bon is that-that… you?" I gasped.
"Bon…Bon forgive me!" I cried hugging him.
"ba bu buu!" Bon Bonne said, joyously.
"oh, huge me you big lug." I cheered. But Bon didn't huge me.
"Bon I am so sorry, I promise I wont ever hurt you like this again." I reassured him, but still he didn't hug me. Roll walked up to me and placed her hand on my shoulder.
"Tron, I don't know Bon's design, only you can fix him, I could only repair him so he could talk again and possibly do other things but he can't move." Roll said calmly. I looked up at Roll, sniffling slightly.
"Roll, I-I have to say sorry again…I guess I am not that good of a person after all. I can't even trust you after you prove to be such a good person." I said feeling guilty yet again. Roll handed the servbots the list.
"These are the needed supplies; I don't think you need me to repair anything." She said walking out of the room. I looked over at #1.
"1 what do you think I should do?" I asked him.
"Umm, I think you should turn around." He said somewhat suspiciously.
"Alright?" I did as he suggested and I suddenly felt a pain at the back of my head and everything went dark.
** ****
When I could regain consousness I found I was hand cuffed to my bed.
"are you sure this is a good idea?" I could hear #17 ask, sounding scared.
"it's the only way we can keep them safe." I heard #31 respond.
"but Miss Tron is going to be mad…she might even hate us for this." #23 said.
"but if it keeps Miss Tron and Miss Roll safe, then we have to do it." #2 retorted to #23. Suddenly I could hear a small scuffle, and a servbot worriedly cry.
"I can't find Miss Tron anywhere!"
"don't worry she's asleep in her room and ordered that we do not disturb her and take off as soon as possible." I suddenly heard #1 lie.
[#1 what? Why, what is this you are doing?]
"yes sir!" the servbot said and left.
"We can't keep the others away from Tron's room forever, and what about Roll?" #17 noted to the others.
"We can keep them active long enough that they wont think about it, and we won't need to keep this up long just long enough that we can find somewhere safe to keep them." #1 asserted.
[What the heck is going on?]
"well I guess we could, I'll keep everybody on a extra strict training schedule. Saying Miss Tron needs us to be at our best to fight this Leon guy, and you can work them hard until we finish our plan." I heard #38 conclude.
"hmm, all I need to do is get one of the other servbot's attention and I might be able to get things back in order and punish those traitors" I said aloud to myself.
"to bad I already tried, but your crew thought of everything." I heard Roll bitterly say behind me.
"Tron, I cant believe, I let myself be influenced by you!" Roll scoffed behind me, sounding a little upset with herself at the same time. I looked behind me to see that thou my right arm was handcuffed with a long chain to my bed the other half of the chain was handcuffed so Roll's right arm was also chained to the bed. Roll was laying behind me in my bed, slightly dirty from doing work on the ship, but her red outfit was still clean somehow.
"Roll what happened?" I asked her.
"you tell me, I was always told that your servbots were extremely loyal, looks like those rumors were false." She sneered.
"Roll, this isn't the time to…"
"time to what Tron? Start regretting the fact that you kidnapped me? Start regretting the fact that I let you use me? I'll never be able to return here, Tron because you used me!" Roll was sounding angrier by the moment.
"Tron, you turned me into criminal, congratulations! I was so blinded by a desire to help you in your need that I didn't even notice that you were just toying with me and threatening me at every turn!" Roll started shouting. "I can't believe that I was so blind! Tron you are just a lying bitch! You don't care for anyone but yourself, and you take advantage of everyone just to get what you want, you're not willing to give anything for anyone else, you just want to take what you want and go!" Roll criticized me, but I was quick to take offence.
"like you are any better! What do you usually do during a dig, hmmm?! Sit there and fiddle with your thumbs until your digger friends bring you your refractor on a silver platter? Wait for someone to buy you stuff, and for what so you can use you small time mechanic skills to fix stuff!?" I shouted back. Roll glared at me.
"small time, if I remember it was you who kidnapped me in order to fix your ship!" she countered.
"and what a good job your doing, I guess getting locked in a room while servbots do the work for you is such a great way of working! I only borrowed your services because I lost too much of my memory even to do as I needed…otherwise I could have fixed the Gesellschaft already and probably both fixed Bon and saved Teisel!" I snapped back.
Roll growled at me and leaped from her spot on my bed attacking me. First Roll only slapped me, hitting me on the face again and again, not hurting me much but ticking me off.
"Roll, you wretch!" I yelled thrusting my knee into her stomach, and then grabbing her hair.
"ahhh!" she screamed as I pulled her hair and threw her into one of the pillars of my fancy bed tarp. But Roll simply bounced of rammed me throwing me back. I then jumped on her trying to hit her, but instead we ended up tangled together rolling around in my bed, pulling hair and slapping each other. Finally we ended up trapped, neither of us thought about the chains that held us to the bed and now we had thoroughly tangled ourselves together and left ourselves unable to move. I sat for a moment breathing trying to figure a way that I could hurt Roll, I figured that she was doing likewise.
[Stupid blond haired brat!] I thought.
As we sat there quietly sore, tired, hurt, and stuck, things seemed to be clearer to me than before. I could figure out way I never liked Roll before somewhat, and I felt as though I could almost remember as if being through this hardship somehow triggered some memories of mine, though I couldn't tell which ones.
"Tron, Tron will you please listen to me?" I could hear Roll say calmly and slowly.
"WHAT?' I snarled back.
"Tron, I'm sorry." Roll said sincerely.
"no, I brought you into this mess…I always screw something up. Now I'm just taking you own with me, forgive me." I admitted how I felt to her.
"Tron, your not that bad of a person, you don't always make the correct choices but you're a good person, at times. But Tron I think all you need is a friend or someone to help you, now seeing a portion of your life I can see how lonely it is. Even with your brothers and the servbots I can hardly see how you get by." Roll told me. I started to cry a little.
"I-I don't know either, I simply do that's it I get by. I wish at times that I had someone like Perl does…she at least has someone to share everything with." I spoke with self pity.
"Tron…you can't give up, not now. We still have an adventure to get through!" Roll tried to cheer me up.
"why, I lost Teisel to someone I don't know, Glyde is constantly harassing us, and now we are tied up by a small group of mutinous Servbots…I lost the Gesellschaft to my own family." I retorted broken hearted.
"Tron, it's only a few of them, I bet we can get the Gesellschaft back from them. Then lets get your brother back, I will then leave so you can go on with your life and everything will be alright, you'll see." Roll said encouragingly.
"Roll….thanks, I needed that." I replied, leaning my head back.
[Wait the servbots chained us both to the same spot on my bed…I think the wood is weaker than it looks!]
"Roll, if we work together, just pull, I think we can break the bed! C'mon!" I told her. Together Roll and I pulled. At first the bed didn't break. We pulled again and it didn't break, we continued pulling until finally the support snapped causing the tarp to crash down on top of us but now we were free, well except for the fact that we were still chained together. Roll and I started struggling to get out from under my bed's ruins.
"hay what was that!" a servbot said from outside my room, and he opened the door just as Roll and I got out from under my bed. "Miss Tron, sorry but #1's plan to keep you safe involves you not having command of the Gesellschaft." The servbot stated, and closed the door behind him.
"So your one of the traitors are you, get over here you little…" I snarled lunging forward with Roll to get the traitorous servbot. The servbot ducked under Roll and me and span to face us.
"Miss Tron, I don't want to hurt you but we need you to stay in here at all costs!" the servbot said pulling out a small bomb.
"How dare you!" I snapped.
"sorry!" the servbot whined and threw the bomb at me. The explosion knocked me off my feet, and threw me into the wall, but I was quick to get up.
"That is it!" I cried and charged. Roll and I caught the servbot this time and both took turns beating on the little rebel.
"Miss Tron, please! We only want you to stay alive!" he cried as I kicked him again and again.
. ******
After pounding the servbot Roll and I left my room and went into the hallway. No servbots were in it so Roll and I moved quickly towards the bridge. After going halfway to the bridge a group of servbots appeared ahead of us. Some of them froze, others took no notice, and a small pair of them turned and ran away. I looked at them all for a moment and then pulled myself up.
"Listen I need your help, #1 has launched a mutiny and I need your help taking back the Gesellschaft!" I shouted. Most of the servbots looked confused, some of the ones who froze also turned and ran. I pointed at the ones who ran away,
"Get them!" I commanded.
"yes mam!" the ones under my command shouted and ran after the rebel servbots, only to come back a moment later saying they lost them. After that #1 sent a sort of warning though the ship ordering all servbots to go to the cafeteria, and I guess also secretly calling his band of rebels to the bridge. I had now four servbots with me, and six servbots had ran away proving their spot as some of #1's cohorts. Roll looked at me,
"Tron, we need to take the cafeteria." She said, just as I was thinking.
"#1 will possibly have some guards on the way to the cafeteria, so we better be ready." I said, warning our band of servbots. Roll looked at the servbots.
" how long has #1 been in control?" she asked.
"Well you two had been sleeping since yesterday, and #1 has been in control ever since we took off which was right after you two went to sleep." They said. I looked at Roll for a moment, then changed my focus on the servbots who were with me.
"did #1 tell you where he was going to take the ship or do you at least know who might be on his side?" I asked them. The servbots looked at each other talked in hushed voices and then one of them turned and answered me.
"well we think that #2, 23 17 and 38 are with him and we think that 9, 11 and 12 might, but we don't know of anyone else, we've been working too hard to notice anything else." The servbots informed me.
"alright we take the cafeteria and then we take the bridge lets go!" I ordered and our little band of servbots soon formed a protective wall in front of me. First I went to my room and found that the servbot who had been watching Roll and me had disappeared. After we passed by my room one of the servbots suddenly relied aloud,
"hay, didn't #1 tell # 30 to keep anyone from disturbing Miss Tron?" [well there is another servbot to add to the traitor list]. As we neared the cafeteria we ran across a group of five servbots waiting outside the meeting room waiting for us.
"ummm, M-M-Miss T-Tron, we c-can't let you go a-any further! T-this is for your own g-good!" the leader of the batch said sounding both scared and convinced by what he was saying.
"listen you little traitors jive up now and I'll only force you to run a million laps through the torture room's gauntlet, but if you fight me I'll have to come up with something new to do to you!' I threatened.
"Um umm ummm, g-get h-her?!" the lead servbot ordered unsurely. This little band of servbots consisted of # 26, 31, 4, 13, and 12. they all ran forward as if to fight hand-to-hand but my bodyguard attacked and with Roll and myself helping they were all beaten easily, although 26,31,4,and twelve got away we were able to capture #13 and tie him up.
"quick to the cafeteria!" I called to our band of servbots, and we all started to run towards the cafeteria. Once inside I found that nearly every servbot aboard the ship was sitting there eating as #21 struggled to feed them all. Some of them took notice of me and waved, while others had confused expressions on their faces, possibly because I was still chained to Roll.
"Listen up! #1 has started a mutiny we need to end it right now! Understand?" I shouted to the servbots, some froze as if the idea of betrayal by one of their own had never even been thought of in their lives.
"y-yes Miss Tron." The room replied with a level of tiredness and confusion in their voices. I counted up how many servbots we had, only 25 out of the 40 total that existed.
[15 servbots are on #1'a side why would so many betray me like this?] After gathering my little force of servbots with me, I made my way towards the bridge, at first I encountered no resistence, but as we neared the bridge twelve of #1's partners attacked us. Luckily, they were outnumbered and didn't use any weapons and so they were overpowered after a though fight. After we tied them up they started yelling,
"M-Miss Tron, No! Please!" but I ignored them and stormed into the bridge, I didn't have any servbots go ahead of me but instead I went alone, except for Roll who was still chained to me.
"Yes, we are going to give over Miss Tron to you mayor and we also have Miss Roll with us so after we leave you can tell Mr. megaman that they both are here, you just need to keep it secret. For their sake please!" I could hear #1.
"1 what are you doing, I am going to torture you so much you'll wish I never made you!" I yelled at him, but Roll's face looked neutral and she stared out the window. #1 on the other hand looked like he would wet himself if a robot could.
"M-M-M-M-Miss T-Tron! How are, umm, you doing today? Nice weather wa're having?" #1 sputtered.
"once I am through with you, your scraps aren't even going to be worth a tenth of their weight!" I continued yelling. #1 looked over his shoulder and I could see #16 driving the ship with a nervous expression.
"where in the world did you think you were taking the Gesellschaft? Hmmm? You little traitor, you were, what going to sell me out or something?" I continued yelling at #1.
suddenly the radio behind #1 buzzed, "this is Kattelox island, the mayor has agreed to your proposal." A voice said through the radio.
"hugh?" was all I could manage. "kattelox? What are we doing here?" I demanded. #1 looked at me almost in tears,
"I won't let them hurt you Miss Tron, I won't let Mr. Glyde or those other people get you. I decided to give you to the Kattelox authorities so they could keep you safe, but I knew you wouldn't agree…s-so I had to, ummm, do this without you interfering." #1 heartily told me.
"#1! I am in charge here, I'll make the decisions. In fact because of this I am never going to trust you with authority again!" I growled at the servbot.
"I am going to lock you and your helpers into the torture room for a month and then lock you into the storage aria for another month!" I decided.
"suddenly the radio behind #1 buzzed again. "this is kattelox, we have a ship coming to retrieve your two prisoners, but be warned you have two large vessels coming behind you at high speeds." The voice informed us. I looked around the room quickly and then shouted,
"quick everyone to battle stations!" suddenly the crowd of servbots outside came bursting in all of them working on one thing or another.
Next the radio buzzed again but this time Glyde's voice came through. "you didn't really think you could outrun us did you Tron? What do you think you are doing island hopping hoping to gather enough supplies to fight us or something? Please." Glyde mocked.
Then another voice came through, "Glyde shut up. Listen this is Leon, Tron I came to get you myself. I need you to surrender right now or all the money your brother spent on that ship will have gone to waste under your watch. Also, if you don't give up right now who knows what might become of you, Bon, Teisel." Leon threatened me.
I then felt a hand softly touch my shoulder. "Tron, I don't think you can win this one, people need to know when to fight, when to run, and when they can do neither. I think it is time we give up." Roll's soft but unwavering voice said to me.
I looked over at Roll. "Roll, I think I might have only gotten you into this so I could take you down with me, but I'm not going to let than happen. This is my problem not yours, I'm sorry for getting you involved and I'm not letting them get you too." I told her and then we marched to the hanger bay with #1 in tow.
Once we reached the hanger bay I turned to number one and asked. "1 were is the key to these chains?" #1 pulled out the key and handed it to me saying,
"Sorry Miss Tron, looks like my idea failed to keep you safe." I looked at the servbot and smiled.
"I am still going to punish you but now I understand what you were doing and I think you're a great person for doing so." #1 lit up after hearing me say that.
"you really think so?" he asked. I looked at him and the few other servbots in the room.
"sure, but right now I need you to get all the spare vehicles, especially boats you can and place them on the hanger door, I also want one drache prepared got it?" I ordered the servbots and then I looked at Roll.
"Alright Roll, I'm not going to be nice anymore!" I said to her
"wait, what is that suppose…" Roll started to ask before I punched her knocking her out. #1 just stood there after I unlooked the handcuffs on myself and Roll.
"Miss Tron!" he exclaimed amazed.
"I told her I'm not letting them take her as well, she's still got her boyfriend to look after." I said sealing her into what would be her escape vehicle. "right." #1 replied.
[P.S. Roll sorry but I read your diary when you weren't looking.]
After I returned to the bridge I could hear Leon was still talking. "hurry up and decide are you going to surrender or not? I'll give you till but the count of thirty. After that, my little kitty, you and your little flying fish are going to be spend'n the rest of your time learning to breathe underwater." Leon was still threatening, but now he was using that annoying slang that the pirobot used. I walked up to the radio and pressed the talk button.
"Will you just shut up? The Gesellschaft surrenders, are you happy?" I asked using an annoyed voice. I looked out the port and starboard windows of the bridge to see Glyde's ship on the Gesellschaft's port side and a strange ship, which was about half of the gigantic suplpher-bottoms size, that looked like a white eye with a tail, and a large reaverbot eye at the front end of the ship. I looked over my shoulder and nodded at #1, who in turn ran over and hit the open button to the hanger door. I could hear a loud noise as the hanger doors opened and all that was placed over it fell out, including the hatch. After a moment a single drache lunged forward racing for kattelox island.
[Your gone Roll, I can't turn to you for help anymore, go help your other friends.]
I could suddenly hear chatter over the radio. "you trying to pull a ship tick, kitty cat? Move to destroy that craft!" I could hear Leon cry.
[Roll, I better chose my words right and be convincing for your sake.]
"no! that ship is empty, no one is onboard it. Leon I am right here on the Gesellschaft! Come here, Leon, I'm here on the Gesellschaft!" I yelled over the radio.
I could hear Glyde's smug voice over the radio. "and how can we trust what you say? You have been working as hard as possible to stay out of our reach, what is keeping you from doing so now?" Glyde retorted as some of his duck looking fighters took off in pursuit of the drache.
"Glyde I am right here, blow it up and I'll still be talking, I wont die." I responded to him.
"yes but you are quite possibly using that drache as a means of allowing some ally you have made to trace your movements." Glyde concluded. "
weather isn't good birdie, I should take this one." I could hear Leon say over the radio. I then could see the great eye like ship fly ahead with a squadron of skull shaped draches flying about it.
"Leon, stop no one is onboard, I can't believe that you all are so stupid. Just let it go, or are you scared that there is someone stronger that you." I tried taunting Leon to get his attention off the drache. I felt more afraid of the eye than Glyde's ship, I knew what Glyde's ship was, but Leon's ship seemed old and mysterious. I couldn't see any guns on Leon's ship but it still seemed like it held more power than any ship here but it somehow could hide it's power. As I watched the great ship of Leon, closed in on the single drache and suddenly released a great number of energy blasts that soared into the drache and consumed it, leaving nothing behind.
I pressed the talk switch on the radio and started screaming. "Roll! You murderous, evil monster! I hate you! Leon how could you, you've killed her!" I dropped down on my knee and cried a little for my friend.
[Unless miracles do happen Roll is dead. But I am a good actor at least, had em going for a while they won't catch my trick.]
