Chapter 11: Grey's Awakening
Magician walks towards Girouette's room and waited for Laura and Girouette. Girouette shows up with Laura as Magician closes the door.
"Gwen what is the problem that you wanted to speak to us alone," said Laura. Magician sighs.
"You know it is my families job to watch the biometals and keep tabs along with the legion," said Magician.
"Yeah. We know that. Even though you gave us Model Z, O, and X, we keep them with us," said Laura, "I have Model X while Girouette gets Model Z and O."
"Well apart of that I have to make sure that it was not used. Marone stole Model A from me and used it. If it has been used Grey will wake up. I do not want to deal with Grey at this point but as of now I have to," said Magician.
"Oh dear. Isn't Grey volunteer himself to be lock up and have his capsule release when a biometal is used?" asked Girouette.
"That is what I heard too. However if it is true or not, I do not know. All I know as long as my cousin has biometal A on her hands and activates it, I am sure that Grey will pick up its signature," said Magician.
"Ouch and from what I heard he is not too fond of humans," said Laura. Magician sighs.
"That is the problem. He isn't too fond of humans. I do not know what am I going to do. It is too much for me to even understand if he is going to kill me or not," said Magician.
"I do not think he is going to kill you. But he will ask for the biometals. If you know where they are at," said Laura.
"Yes I do but how can I explain that four of the legions has it and top of that my cousin has Model A," said Magician.
"You have a point. Well do you know where is Grey hidden?" asked Laura. Magician sighs.
"He is at the outskirts of Area H," said Magician. Laura picks up Model X and has a smile.
"Perfect lets go," said Laura. Girouette looks at Laura as if she is doing something stupid.
"You know that area is a suicide mission. One step and we can see our deaths," said Girouette.
"Why do you think I am bringing Model X with me. I am not going over there without some type of protection," said Laura.
"I will go as well. I still have magic to use," said Magician. Girouette looks at Magician and sighs.
"I am not going to let you go in that condition, Gwen. I am coming too. I something happens at least I am going to make damn sure that you have some cover ground. Laura we might need to Double Megamerge if it comes to it," said Girouette.
"I am glad you are coming as well," said Laura to Girouette. Girouette sighs as he knows something is going to happen.
"Though I do think we will need someone else help as well. Someone who has experience being on dangerous missions," said Girouette.
"If you talking about Zero, Omega, Axl, or X, I am not wanting them to go there. Especially when Grey woke up. He will get confused," said Magician.
"True, he will think Zero or Omega is one of us and will get confused if all four of us together in ZX or OX form. Same if we used only model X and X is there. He will get confused," said Girouette.
"And Axl he will asked him to give him Model A which it is not good," said Laura.
"We cannot take the Guardians of Neo Arcadia due to the fact that if I explain Model P, H, F, and L is back with the legions and he sees them the first thing he is going to do is attack," said Magician.
"Well that leaves us with Sniper, Rider, Fate, Destiny, Athena, Strider," said Girouette.
"How about I am going with you," said a voice as Iris was at the door. The three people look at Iris.
"Iris, where you listening all this time??" asked Laura. Iris sighs as she was but she looks at the group.
"I am sorry, I did listen to you. Though I can heal humans as well as reploids. If you are going then it is assure that I am going to be needed," said Iris.
"You can come under one condition. You must come when we call you. Too early will cause problems," said Magician.
"I come when you needed me. I will be there," said Iris. The three humans nodded. All four went to the portal and go to the location of what Magician puts in. Iris transport them out of the floating base and into the coordinates. Magician got her gun out.
"MEGA SYSTEM ONLINE. MODEL X. MODEL Z. DOUBLE MEGAMERGE," said Girouette and Laura in unison. Both humans transform into their ZX form.
"Lets go," said Magician. Fair enough Iris was giving directions for them to go. Fate looks at Iris shoulder.
"Hey Iris what are you doing?" asked Fate. She saw the three humans in a dangerous place.
"You are navigating for three humans?" asked Fate. Iris sighs as she puts down the mic.
"Yes. I promise them I help them out. They wanted to retrieve something and I cannot change their minds. So I am helping them out," said Iris.
"Well, send me there. I am going to help too. Just do not tell my sister. She will think this is a huge party of killing," said Fate. Iris sighs as she teleported Fate to the location of Girouette, Laura, and Magician.
"Fate what are you doing here?" asked Laura. Girouette has the same question for the witch hunter.
"I asked Iris if I can help out. I told her specific not to tell my sister or she will bring people that you do not want," said Fate.
"Ok well if you are going to help then lets go," said Magician. The four people heard a shot coming from somewhere. Magician dodges as well as Fate. Fate pulled out her gun and fired back at the direction, what appears was a huge mechanaloid.
"Great a mechanaloid," said Magician as she start firing her laser gun at it. Girouette and Laura went at it with Z-Sabers. Fate and Magician provides the long range support and in no time the mechanaloid fell down. The group continue walking and run into many more mechanaloids. Iris help out and leading the group. The group stop and a person was standing there.
"Marone Tahara," said Magician. Marone looks at Magician and smiles. Magician was not in a pleasant mood.
"Well you came a bit too late cousin. Grey has awaken. And by the looks of it. He got out of this cave before I get the chance to see if the rumors were real," said Marone.
"You stupid idiot. He is activated since you first use Model A. Of course you won't see him. He is walking around. He is not far I know that," said Magician.
"Well Gwen the first one finding Grey is going to have him in the team," said Marone as she left.
"We must find Grey but where are we going to find him?" asked Laura. Fate hold up a card and it disappear.
"Strange he is defy the world around him," said Fate. Magician has an idea and hope it works.
"Iris can you track a reploid movement around this area. Gender Male. Gray hair, blue green eyes," said Magician.
"Roger that," said Iris as she start scanning the area. Sure enough she found him at Area H.
"He is inside Area H and what is bad we just got a report that Area H has been under attack," said Iris.
"Oh great. Well it cannot be any better. We are going to Area H," said Magician. Iris sighs. Magician, Fate, Girouette, and Laura went to the area and started to pick off irregulars and other mechanaloids. One mechanaloid was a huge one and Grey was spotted. Magician fired her laser at the mechanaloid. Fate also fired her gun at the mechanaloid. The two megamen went at it and knock off the huge mechanaloid off its feet. Sure enough the mechanaloid exploded. Pieces of shards hit Laura, Girouette, Grey, Fate, and one piece hit Magician as she did not feel the pain.
"You must be Ashe descendent," said Grey to Magician. Magician sighs as she knows it is true.
"Yes I am. I am Gwen Larish. Most called me Magician," said Magician. Grey looks at Magician.
"You have failed. I found out that one of the biometals have been activated. Something tells me that these two only has two of 7," said Grey.
"More like 3 out of 8," said Laura as she corrects Grey. Grey looks at the Laura with the evil eye.
"Tell me Gwen Larish. Why are you here when you supposed to find the other biometals," said Grey.
"Four of them she cannot get. It is in the hands of the legion," said Girouette. Grey sighs.
"Model P, Model H, Model L, and Model F are back at the legion hands. So I guess I have to battle them again," said Grey.
"Well then I need Model A," said Grey as he looks at Magician. Magician sighs. Laura looks at Grey.
"She does not have it. Another of Ashe descendants has it by the name of Marone Tahara," said Laura. Grey was about to shoot Laura.
"She is right. One of my relatives haves it. I do not know where she went. I do want that biometal back as much as you do," said Magician.
"You humans make the same mistake. It is no wonder you needed help," said Grey. Laura started to snap.
"You tell you that we are weak. I did not risk my butt off just to get shot by bunch of Mavericks," snapped Laura. Girouette looks at her and holds Laura back.
"Just as I said. Make the same mistake. Aile did the same thing and what happened to her. Dead," said Grey. Laura got really mad as Grey is comparing her with her ancestor.
"It may be true but also reploids makes mistakes too. I do recall that you made few of your own," said Fate. Grey got his gun out and was ready to shoot at Fate.
"Now, now there is no need to point guns at me. I did not fire at you," said Fate. Grey put his gun away.
"Guardian HQ pick up five," said Laura as she de-merge as well as Girouette. Grey look at the two humans.
"You both look the same," said Grey. Laura kept her mouth shut as Girouette open his mouth.
"We may be cousins but we believed that our parents used to be twins. I still believe so," said Girouette.
"I see," said Grey. They are all inside the Guardian HQ. Grey has a cold sight that Iris did not like.
"Welcome back," said Iris. Grey looks at the colorful reploid. He did not say a word but has this cold stare.
"Grey this is Iris of Repliforce," said Fate. Grey heard about what happened in the 22nd century and looks at Iris coldly still.
"Please to meet you," said Grey as he walks off. Iris looks at Grey strangely. Fate sighs.
"We need to explain to Grey about Few people here or he will attack," said Magician.
"Lets go and get him," said Laura as she follows Grey. Grey has the annoying look at Laura.
"Is there a reason you are following me," said Grey. Laura looks at Grey. Laura knows what she needs to say and tries to tell him.
"I just have few important things to say to you that is all," said Laura. Grey looks at Laura.
"First of all do not be frightened, there is ancient reploids here. Some we cannot explain. Like Harpuia, Zero, Leviathan," said Laura.
"Wait a minute. Are you saying that the biometals are now living reploids?" asked Laura.
"Not entirely, most of their souls are reploids. There is a piece within the biometals. It is very complex situation and one scientist Dr. Scorpio have found how to make the reploids from the biometals into real life. What is more shocking that the biometals still activates with biomatches. Though the spirit within the biometals do not speak but the reploids out here do speak and can fight," said Magician.
"So it is possible to reverse the Ceil System," said Grey. Iris looks at the group and at Grey.
"Also Dr. Scorpio have tested his theory on mother elf. Well you have met her," said Laura.
"Mother elf? It is not possible. She is the strongest elf but also she is hard to use her," said Grey.
"It is true though. He have converted me into a reploid. I was once mother elf," said Iris. Grey look at Iris in shock.
"So it is possible to revert cyber elves into reploids??" asked Grey as he looks at Iris.
"Not all cyber elves. Those who are not high in power cannot be used. He did used more than one cyber elf for his experiment. Most of them failed," said Magician. Grey sighs.
"You know too much to be descendent of Ashe," said Grey to Magician. He walks out and Grey looks at the hall. Grey first saw was Harpuia and passed him up. Harpuia looks at the gray hair person as he saw Leviathan also staring at the new person.
"Harpy, is something wrong?" asked Leviathan. Harpuia can't point his finger where he sees him. Magician walk down the hall as well. Harpuia stops Magician and Leviathan looks at her.
"Who is he?" asked Harpuia. Magician looks at Harpuia as she knows that something is up.
"That is Grey. He helped my ancestor out defeating Model W and stop Master Albert," said Magician.
"Why is he resemble a civilian at Neo Arcadia?" asked Harpuia. Magician shrugs at Harpuia.
"I dunno. My ancestor has the same color hair and eyes. My hair is the same color as his if I do not dyed it," said Magician.
"You dyed your hair blonde. You know that is not good for you," said Leviathan. Magician sighs.
"Actually, gray is the sign of having no pigment in the hair on humans. I have gray hair's all the time and I developed it since I was 10 and I did not have it full until I was 13. My natural color before I turned gray is brown. I do believed Master Albert died his hair blue for that reason," said Magician.
"I see. I go back writing reports then. So far you and the other three have less casualties but we did have few. You still need to improve on that," said Harpuia. Magician sighs.
"Thanks for the tip," said Magician as she started to walk. Magician started to fell down. Harpuia looks at Magician as well as Leviathan.
"Are you ok?" asked Leviathan. Magician started to feel pains all over on her body.
