Chapter 6: Spider

Last time…

"For the hundreds time Cain, because your stomach cannot take it, you need to get used to foot. Before your resurrection you only got liquid nutrients. You would puke me all over the place, if I let you eat solid food. So now shut up and eat!"

Rion refused to say more on the subject, Cain reluctantly slurped his soup though not without scowling and silent cursing. It was bound to be a long night.

Three days later… Memorial Hospital…

Rion sighed, he hated the hospital but here he was accompanied by Cain to assist with Spider's resurrection. In the last three days he and Cain had gotten used to each other. The younger Galerian was fascinated by the new Michelangelo city and had spent most of the time catching up with the new development. For both of them that was surprisingly easy since they simple connected to a computer and injected the data into their brain. In the last four years scientists especially Pat had developed more practical devices to do that. Of course Pat had given them both such a little device. Normally that meant that they wouldn't have to visit school anymore but the government had ordered it as part of their cover.

But now they didn't have the time for such thoughts, Pat had worked all day and night to find Spider. Only a few hours before their arrival he had located the general area where he suspected Spider. Rion just hoped that Aqua wouldn't be there, Spider had used explosives against him and the young man had never been the strongest. He was certainly weaker than Cain.

"Cain, Rion, I'm ready."

Cain nodded, while Rion just moved to his position. He was ready to transport immediately into the data world near Spider. The new transport devices where handy enough and had the shape of a bracelet made from black metal. Coupled with the other buckles and bracelets they had to wear, it wouldn't be noticed.

"I'll start the process. Lisa.. Activate program RG, Galerian G007 Spider, Artemis family, R-Positive chromosome anomaly. Position A12L02, enter 4 milliard code. Password P.E.A.C.E!"

It was the same procedure like with Cain, the second incubator was emptied off it's liquid. The two tubes filled with oxygen were zapped off and the body was put onto a stretcher. Cain connected the terminal with the brain. This time they used pads to grant the AI of Spider better access.

"Connection stands, Spider's AI is close.. I'll give him two minutes before one of you goes in. We cannot risk being connected to the net for much longer." They waited but the AI of Spider didn't move one bit.

"I'll go in, Spider doesn't know Cain. If anything goes wrong cut the connection. I'll find my way back."

"Alone? You crazy? Oh wait don't answer that.. you won't be going alone, I'll back you up."

Before Cain could say more Rion had already vanished into cyber space. Cain sighed and murmured something that sounded suspiciously like 'hotheaded idiot ' to Pat. The young scientist had watched them with interest but now shook his head as Cain followed his twin into the data world.

In the data world

Rion looked around, he sighed. At least Spider was in an area he knew. Currently he was standing in the room where he had fought with Leo the pet spider in the lower levels of the Uranium refining factory. How weird as far as he knew Spider had never been here…. Was is a trap.

Concentrating he scanned the room, no living being in close proximity. Which meant Spider wasn't near too.

Rion.. can you hear me?

Yeah, what the hell are you doing here? Didn't I tell you to stay behind!

Yes but I also said that I want to kill the blue haired bitch.

I doubt she'll come here of all places.

And Why is that?

I don't know where you are but I'm in a Uranium refining factory. Here is no water she could manipulate.

Damn it. Well doesn't matter now. I'm in a room full of beds..

You are in the infirmary. Wait, I'll be there in a few minutes.

Rion closed his mind and looked around one last time. No Spider was definitely not here. Well he should fetch Cain before the younger Galerian did something stupid. If there was one thing Rion had learned in the last three days it was the fact that Cain seemed to attract trouble.

The day after his awakening he had gone out to see the city. Twenty minutes later he was brought back by the police, claiming that the young blond was trying to sell himself to innocent citizens. Rion didn't believe the story for one moment but sadly he was the legal guardian of Cain, which meant he was responsible for him. In the end Cain had gotten off lightly since there was absolutely no evidence. Rion had taken Cain shopping again and they exchanged the clothing against something which wasn't two sizes too small. Now Rion hoped Cain wouldn't again get arrested for public indecency. He also had made a mental note, don't let Cornelia go shopping with the other Galerians!

Opening the door he left the room and went up the stairs, the data version of the refining factory looked almost exactly like the real one. The flamethrowers were missing but otherwise. Silently Rion went into the infirmary which hadn't changed either. Cain was there, sitting on a broken bed. He looked incredibly bored. He stood as he saw Rion.

"You really took your sweet time."

Rion shrugged, he had told Cain to stay behind.

"We should search for Spider. He has the ability to conceal his presence totally from anyone else and he uses exploding spiders as weapons."

"Joy." It was apparent that Cain was ecstatic. He looked ready to kill something. The sad thing was that not even one rabbit was near. The whole upper floor was devoid of enemies. Rion didn't like it.

"Déjà vu.."

Cain nodded. The situation was exactly the same, the difference yet was that they hadn't found traces of blood.. yet. Something Rion was grateful for. Ten minutes later they had searched the upper floor and decided to search the lower levels separated. With the help of telepathy they would stay in contact. At least that was the way they had planned it…
