Note: Wow, I haven't updated this story for a while. I haven't been playing PSU for a while either. So, here's my new chapter!
Chapter 2
The Wreckage of the Linear Line
"Master….Master Will? Please wake up. Your friend is about to arrive soon."
I opened my eyes quickly and got up from my bed. I turned my head to see a weird robot thingy staring at me with these huge orb-like eyes. So that's what woke me up…
"What the hell do you want pesk? Can't you see I'm trying to sleep?"
The robot thing shook its whole entire body up and down, which must mean yes. "But master, your friend Leesha is going to arrive soon to meet up with you. You didn't forget about the ceremony, did you?"
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Better get ready until Leesha get's here…" I got up from my bed and looked around my room.
The entire room was ceramic white. Across from my bed was a counter with a computer phone thing and a flowerpot. To the left of the counter was some kind of item mailbox. There was this door that lead to the shower/restroom. And then there was the living room with 2 swivel chairs and a table.
I walked into the shower and guess what, I took a shower. I wore on my usual black and blue clothing that came out of my nanotransformer. Many things happened after that incident back at Moatoob.
When I registered as a trainee at the reception counter, she told me that she didn't finish Dherek off. I don't understand why didn't she kill him? Probably made some kind of money deal or something.
The training was difficult but I didn't give up. There were some minor virtual missions like killing off several creatures or trying to discern which barrel contained which bomb. We had to find out by listening closely for any ticking noises. Go figure…
And yeah, I graduated just yesterday as a full-fledged Guardian. Not enough real-time experience, but hey, I'll get there soon. I ruffled my white hair a bit and headed towards the door when I heard a knock.
"Hey Will, congratulations with your graduation!" Leesha yelled out, as she handed me a wrapped up box.
"Thanks? Um, what's in here?" I shook the box a bit to hear what the content was, but Leesha held my arm to signal me to calm down.
"Will, that's your graduation present. Open it, open it!" She hopped up and down excitedly. What's with her today?
"Okay, here goes…"I ripped off the wrapping and opened the box to find…a weird thin film of cloth. It had these weird designs going around in a curve.
"So…..what is this?"
Leesha pouted and quickly smiled. "It's a custom line shield design, specifically created for you, Will. Put it on!" She took the cloth and swung it over my clothes.
"Wait, wait! Just give me a sec-"The cloth started to shine brightly and before I knew it, the cloth sewed itself into my clothes. Those curved designs formed in the middle creating a purple star. "Whoa, that's pretty neat, thanks."
Nodding her head, Leesha grabbed my hand and then piped out a, "Now let's go to the ceremony!"
The 1st floor Central Area was already packed with Guardians and civilians heading up towards the Linear Line so that they can see the ceremony. It was the same for the 2nd and 3rd floors of the Colony. On the 4th floor, surprisingly, it was kind of crowded yet there was an easy flow of movement. As we went to the Linear Line platform we passed by a guy with red hair and a girl with brown hair with pigtails. Seemed like they were talking to a bunch of hoodlum Newmans.
Going through many interconnected passageways, we then found our way to the main area of the ceremony.
"Hey look, it's the Divine Maiden!" Screamed out Leesha. All of a sudden, a huge amount of people started screaming. Men whistled and yelled in excitement while the women would cry and clap excitedly.
Purple hair flowing behind her back and her pink robes swishing she was a beauty to see. Heh, Beast and Newman females aren't very bad-looking.
As she spoke, her eyes locked on to someone behind me. Or it seemed that way. I peered at the corner of my eye and saw the red-haired guy again standing next to the little girl that was screaming for the Divine Maiden. The hell?
All of a sudden, a huge boom sound reverberated across the entire area. Debris of the ceiling started to fall off, and panic arose from the crowd. Each civilian started to trample each other to get out, while the Guardian tried to get them safely away from the place.
"Hey Leesha, what's happening?" I yelled out from the screams. Leesha looked at me and shrugged.
"Better check it out. Let's go Will!" Leesha and I ran out the exit and ran a few feet until we met up with another Beast-looking Guardian.
He had light brownish-blondish hair wearing a red coat and black pants. He also held a huge, green sword.
"Leo, there you are!" Leesha said out loud. Leo turned his attention to us when he heard her voice.
"Ah, Leesha! And this is Will? Congrats on your graduation…and hey, you guys couldn't have come here at a better time!"
Leogini S. Berafort, he was one of my instructors during my trainee days. He was pretty cool, and he also hung out with some other Beast…where is he?
"What's happening here? Did the…" Leesha stopped when the ceiling above them fell. By my instinct, I tackled Leesha to the ground so that she wouldn't get smushed by the rubble.
The rubble of rock smashed to the ground, creating a deafening boom sound. Leo also got out of the way safely and held his sword up high.
"Watch out! The Seeds are arriving!"
Looking up, Leesha and I could see several of those weird Pannons jump down from the hole created from the ceiling. No way…how did the Seed get here?
The first Pannon that dropped onto the floor suddenly had some frosty white stuff coming out of its mouth. That could only mean…
"That Pannon's using Barta!" I yelled out as I took out the twin daggers. Taking in a great deal of air, the Pannon then shot out a stream of snowflake looking things and hit me. Now at that time I held out my daggers to block the Technic, but badly enough, I was frozen.
It felt like I was in that frozen state for an hour, but Leo got me out of there by shooting off the ice with his handgun.
"Wow, you guys finished off the Pannons that quickly? Come on now, you should've let me enter the fray…"
Laughing, Leo slapped me on the back. "Don't worry, Will! In future missions you'll be doing a lot of eliminating. Speaking of a mission, we're going to have to head to the 5th floor. And we should send a cleanup crew while we're at it…"
Several minutes later, Leesha, Leo and I got into the 5th floor, the Guardian's Headquarters. There were several Guardians bustling about, getting prepared to send a clean-up crew towards the Linear Line.
The reception lady at the desk was already checking out 4 other Guardians' ID's. When we came up to them, Leo called them out.
"Hey Paul, Warren, Patrick, and Tinny! Glad you guys could make it here!" They all turned around with smiles on their faces. But then they had a blank look on their face when they saw me.
"Hey Leo, who're these people hanging with yah?" asked Paul. Oh shit…he's a HUMAN….
He had short, messy blond hair and wore on a black Kusatarika vest, grey and black Kusatarika pants and black and red Kusatarika shoes. And his smile…irritates me.
"Hey Tinny, come on. Let's say hello to them," he asked the girl.
"Stop Pat, I can greet them from here, okay?" she retorted softly. The girl Tinny, had long lavender hair and she wore on a white and red Gojgoj tunic with blue Gojgoj shorts and brown Gojgoj boots.
"Haha, fine, fine! Hey, the name's Paul. Nice to meet you!" he held out his hand for a handshake. I just grunted and walked past him towards the reception desk.
"Leo, this kid has a pretty bad attitude. Did you teach him any manners?" asked a brown and black spiky haired Newman.
I turned towards him and noticed that he was wearing a blue Gojgoj vest, grey Kusatarika pants, and black and blue Kusatarika shoes. To make it more interesting, his ears were pointed side to side, and his blue eyes shown off his face.
"Paul, don't open your mouth and criticize people when you don't even know them well!" Leesha said, her tone rising.
He held up his arms in defense. "Sorry, all I'm saying that this guy's just a newbie Guardian, right? What can he-"
I materialized my twin daggers out of my nanotransformer and held them up to his neck. I was taken aback when he had his rod at my neck, a glowing red ember that was starting to spurt out.
"Don't talk to me as if you know anything, if you make me mad, I won't be afraid to kill you here and now."
Paul just smirked and whispered, "Bring it on, Beast Boy."
"Paul, Will, settle down and release your weapons. Both of you may get suspended if any of the professors see you," Leo said, his calm tone relaxing me.
I scoffed and allowed my twin daggers to dissipate into my nanotransformer, which Paul followed after.
"Ah well, that was fun. Hope we can do a mission together, Beast Boy. Hey Warren…Warren?!" Everyone, including me, turned our heads to see Warren sleeping on a chair.
He had long blond hair that went down to his neck and wore on a green Humar shirt, pants, and shoes. Huh, he looks kinda like a fusion of a robot and human.
"Huh? What? Oh, hey Paul. We ready to go?" Yeah, I'm guessing Warren's one of those easy-going people of some sort. What a bother.
Paul nodded and waved goodbye to us. Leo called after him, "Don't forget, tomorrow everyone's gonna be doing a mission together! We'll have the mission briefing, so don't be late!"
Warren yawned and waved him off. "Don't worry, I'll TRY to remind Paul." And with that, they both went out of the Headquarters.
"Haha, ah man, they're good guys. Don't worry about it!" Patrick said happily. "Anyhow, here's my Partner card and this here's my girlfriend's card." He took out 2 ID looking cards and handed it to me. "Use that to contact us. Maybe we could do a mission together?"
"Pat! Don't give away Partner Cards to everyone you meet! Come on, we're going!" Tinny's face was red and she dragged Patrick all the way out of the Headquarters.
Before they got out completely, I heard Patrick yell out, "Oh yeah, if you find any good longbows or sabers, please think of giving them to me! I'll trade yah!"
"I won't be using this," I muttered, as I threw both Patrick's and Tinny's partner cards into the garbage can.
With a gasp, Leesha ran towards the garbage can and fished out the 2 cards. "Will, keep these. It'll be of good use in the future, ya know? And anyways, you should be happy that you're already making friends." Leesha looked at me expectantly.
Sighing, I gingerly took the cards and placed them in my pocket. "Fine, but if they start to annoy me, I'm gonna block them out. My first blocked target is probably going to be that Paul guy…"
Laughing, Leo said, "Come on, Will. Give yourself a chance, and hang out with them on your free time. You should get to know them, it'll be a great experience."
Rubbing my temples with my fingers, I nodded slowly. "Okay, okay, I will. I'm going back to my room. I need to get ready for that mission you were talking about."
"Ah, good idea! I'm going back also. See you guys!" Leesha said, and she ran out of HQ.
Crossing his arms across his chest, Leo said in a low tone, "Tomorrow's gonna be a pretty hard day, especially for a beginner like you. Be prepared, okay?"
Noticing the tone of his voice, I nodded and quickly ran out of the HQ. When I got out, a red-haired guy walked past me into HQ. The same guy at the ceremony…what's he doing? Is he a Guardian?
Whatever. 2 minutes later, with the help of the elevators, I got into my room and plopped onto the bed. "Wow, it's been an intense day. Any news for today…..robot?"
The red robot, which was called a Partner Machinery, hovered out from under my bed and placed itself on my foot. What the…
"So you would like to know what happened to today's events, master?" asked the PM.
"Guh, don't call me 'master'. Just call me Will. If you can do that, I'll be happy. And yes, anything happen today?"
The PM had a happy look in its eyes and said in an squeaky voice, "The events that's happened today are the Ceremony Disaster with the Seed, Stolen Koltovas, and-"
"Wait, Stolen Koltovas? Explain this news to me." Wow, I wonder if these news events that are installed in the PM live.
The PM continued, "In a farm area in Parum there've been reports that several Koltovas have been stolen every night. The breeders there have no idea how the creatures could be stolen, as they've been protecting them with a photon-generated barrier to keep other carnivorous creatures from feasting on the Koltovas. They've requested assistance from the Guardians."
I just sat there looking at the PM. "That's it?"
"Yes, that's it," it replied.
I laid myself on the bed and stared at the ceiling. I have a feeling that the mission is going to be focused on these stolen Koltovas. Photon-generated barriers, I've heard those things are hard to bypass unless someone has some kind of switch or tool…
Sighing, I shifted on my side and closed my eyes. I'll find out more at the briefing tomorrow. Ah damn!
I abruptly stood up from the bed and muttered, "I hope I don't get partnered with those people…" I looked at the cards that were laid out on the counter near the phone comp.
I smiled and said to myself, "Meh, I guess it wouldn't be…THAT bad." I lay back down and slept soundly, dreaming about killing the thieves.
………
But the next day, I realized that there are people out there….waiting to wipe out all the Guardians. Who are they?
