Chapter 17: Enter Master Guess House
Guess sighed as he looked at Sigma's completion. He then looked at his maverick subjects. Vern came by and looked at Guess.
"It seems you have come," said Guess. Vern smiled at Guess as he looked at Sigma's body.
"So this is the infamous Sigma I kept hearing about. Why after all these years he still have some way to come back," said Vern.
"He is going to use this body as a back up. He is around on his first one," said Guess. Vern smirked as Sigma came walking to see the final completion of his second body.
"I always have a plan B body just in case. No one will destroy me easily that is why I am always around," said Sigma.
"Well I did put your viruses around other colonies. But out of all of them. Two were destroyed before the completion and one has been cured by unknown force," said Guess.
"That unknown force is an AI program called cyber elves. The one that destroyed that is Mother Elf which she has the power of all her cyber elves and somehow she does not die. Her power is ultimate anti-virus program. In history she had wiped out every last single virus on Earth so people with the Sigma, Zero, and other virus were cured. This could mean trouble for us," said Vern.
"So all we have to do is annihilate Mother Elf then," said Sigma. Vern shakes his head.
"That is not easy. She is not a normal cyber elf. Normal Cyber Elf once they use their power they die for good. Her she used her power and still lives. As for a body she has none. Cyber Elves do not have a body," said Vern.
"So we have to drain her as much to kill her," said Sigma. Guess kept looking on the progress as Sigma and Vern were finding ways to kill Mother Elf. Guess looked as the final touches were added and he smiled.
"Body is complete," said Guess. Sigma and Vern looked at the second body as it was bigger than the first and had more powerful features. Sigma smiled. Vern looked at it with awe.
"This is sooner than I expected. Now we do not need you anymore," said Sigma as he was about to kill off Guess until they heard a warning signal. Vern and Sigma looked as Guess took off to Cephalic Space Colony.
"The virus on Cephalic is my main objective now. To keep it running, those fools will know the true meaning of fear," said Guess as his ship continues to fly towards Cephalic Space Colony. Meanwhile… Alouette have walked around and found Ceil's room. All she heard is sobbing. Alouette knocked on the door.
"Come in," said Ceil as she looked at Alouette. Alouette came in and shut the door behind her.
"It is ok if we talk. I know you are not in the best of moods," said Alouette. Ceil looked at Alouette.
"We can. I am feeling horrible but I guess a little talk won't hurt me," said Ceil. Alouette looked at Ceil.
"I know there is someone who went through the same thing. Both Zero and Omega had lost someone important. However, Zero is not alone. He has you around. From what my sister told me that you and Iris did make a promise to take care of Zero even if one of you is dead," said Alouette.
"How do you know that promised?" asked Ceil. Alouette sighed as she looked at Ceil.
"My sister heard you and Zero talking when Iris was recovering from the chips that controlled her," said Alouette as she looked down.
"I see. Though she only told you and no one else," said Ceil. Alouette sighed as she looked at Ceil.
"She told me about it. Though she does not have the heart to tell either Zero or you. She should not been ease dropping but she did. Though do one thing and give Zero what he needs right now. Someone to be around," said Alouette. Ceil looked at the chip Iris gave her and then at Alouette.
"Alouette thanks. Iris did want me to take care of Zero. I need to keep that promise to take care of him," said Ceil. Alouette smiled as the two start talking some more. Meanwhile… Sky, Rondae, Jean, and Bomber all went on a killing spree with the mavericks. Bomber used his gun then switched to rifle to make sure the other two do not get hit. Sky used his spear for leverage and for fighting.
"You are one crazy human thinking a spear will save you," said Bomber as Sky threw it and it hits several mavericks making a hole until the spear stopped at a rock.
"It is not just an ordinary spear. It is my high-tech spear that can block plasma blast and extends as well," said Sky. Bomber just saw the spear stuck to a rock as he saw the damage of the mavericks that has been killed.
"That is one way killing Galleon hunters like that," said Jean. Bomber did not say anything for the day as Rondae. The group have finally reached its destination of the room.
"Man who says being in someone house would be the main key to activate the virus and destroyed the colony," said Bomber.
"I do not know but I do think Guess has intended that to keep people under his rule," said Rondae. The four had reached to a point where a bird like pseudoroid is at.
"I am sorry did I intrude a parade that is going on here," said the female bird pseudoroid.
"How about let us pass so we can deactivate the virus," said Sky. The pseudoroid looked at Sky.
"Sorry no can do then you are the interlopers that I was warned about. Very well then. I shall destroy you. You shall feel the wrath of my winds," said the pseudoroid, "I am hurricane."
"She is a wind type so she must have some electrical base on her. Leave this fight to me," said Sky.
"Password Sequence Glacius Passio, Engage. MEGASYSTEM ONLINE MODEL L MEGAMERGE!" shouted Sky as he transforms into a blue armor. Bomber and the others lead out as they hit to the main computer. Meanwhile… Alouette and Ceil walked over to Zero's room. He was in since he did not want to float out of the space colony. Ceil knocked on the door as Zero opened it. Alouette have hidden herself as Ceil looked at Zero.
"Ceil," said Zero as he was puzzled why she would be here. Ceil looked at Zero as she tried to swallow her fears away.
"May I come in," said Ceil. Zero nodded and let Ceil came in. Ceil shut the door. Alouette came out of hiding as she then sighed in relief. She then went to the command center as they had approach to Cephalic Space colony and saw a guardian ship. Alouette noticed the ship and looked worried.
"Oh no Sky. That kid will die," thought Alouette as she tried to call Ganymede Guardian Base. No one answered. Alouette walked out of the room as she passed people who looked at her running. She set the coordinates to Cephalic Space Colony. She arrived there as she hoped to warn Sky. Meanwhile… Guess have reached to Cephalic Space Colony as he got off and ran towards his home.
"I've got to make sure that the virus is still in tact. Master Sigma will be disappointed if it was destroyed," said Guess. He got into the house which all the mavericks did not attack him as they let him through. He then saw his security have been destroyed.
"Shit they are already here. I need to find where those people are they cannot run away from me," said Guess as he tried to go another route which it worked. He knew it would be longer than the previous one but less security there. He got up the stairs as he goes to the top.
"This may be longer due to the fact the elevator is probably out of order but heck it is the only way I am going to stop those interlopers," said Guess as he goes up the stairs. Meanwhile… Sky have called out the ice dragon and hurricane was frozen solid as Sky slashed her with his halberd. Hurricane split into two.
"Ah! You are just like them. The Megaman I have long ago fight. You are probably descendant of that one. AAAAAAGH!" shouted Hurricane as she was blown to bits. Sky felt a surge on his armor. Alouette have came rushing in as she looked at Sky.
"Oh no I am too late. Sky get out of the armor or you will die," said Alouette. Rondae and Jean looked at Alouette.
"What do you mean?" grunted Sky. Alouette had a worried look at Sky as she looked at the others.
"Darkona and Cassandra both used the password armors and somehow they were in worse condition as they are in ICU in Orion Guardian's base," said Alouette.
"WHAT?! Those two are in ICU. Well I guess I better, AAAAHHHH!!" shouted Sky as he started to bleed out of his pores. Alouette now looked worried as he is pure flesh unlike Darkona and Cassandra. Sky de-merged but his body started to feel reaction. Alouette grabbed Sky as she is now worried about him.
"We will finish the mission and head back to Rhea," said Rondae. Alouette looked at him.
"We are not at Rhea. We lost contact with them," said Alouette. Rondae looked at Sky.
"Then at Orion then. If that guardian base is around," said Rondae. Alouette nodded and left Rondae and Jean with Bomber.
"Oh Jean, and the guy with the glasses that I keep forgetting your name. Do not use the password or fake biometals. You will ended up like Sky here," said Alouette in the intercom.
"Rodger we got that," said Jean. Rondae sighed as he went on with his mission. Jean smiled at Rondae.
"Come on we got to hack the systems," said Jean. Rondae started as Bomber helped out. The two kept on hacking until they counter comes up. The two knew it would be race against the clock and the problem with the system. Mother Elf appeared and hacked herself inside and take the virus away. Soon she appeared in front of Jean, Rondae, and Bomber.
"I have done the rest here. Please help the guy who I hacked his systems to take the virus away. He is out cold near here," said Mother Elf. Bomber looked at her confused as she disappeared.
"Well we can't let that person died by the mavericks. Lets go help him," said Jean. Rondae sighed but agreed with Jean. The two have left the room and found in a secret area is where gray and purple with yellow question marks on his gloves and his hat.
"Ok I think this is the guy that cyber elf was talking about lets go. We need to get out of here," said Rondae. Jean and Bomber went on a shooting spree as Rondae carried the mysterious person with him. Once on Orion, Priestess and Athena tried to help Sky ASAP. The other two were ok but they tried to help sky who looks like his arm and several parts would need to be chopped off. They did what they can and kicked Thor out as well as trying to save Sky's life.
"Thor how is Sky?" asked Aile. Thor looked at Aile who heard about it from Alouette.
"Not good. That kid might lose his body parts. Unlike Darkona and Cassandra who had several mechanical parts. Sky does not have a single one. Which makes him more vulnerable to attacks and now to this. He may be 14 years old but he should not be the one who have this happening to him," said Thor.
"I am worried. I am worried about Arwen and Sardine. Those two do not know about the damages so far," said Aile.
"We know how it is on two humanoids and now a human like Sky. We know that these things makes Sardine and my settings more short lived than before. Arwen is a human and Sardine is a reploid like me. I am more worried about Arwen then I am with Sardine," said Thor.
"When we either find Artemis Space Colony or any other space colony we need to find Arwen and warned her as well as Sardine. Something tells me that someone is going to die. I do not know who but I have that feeling," said Aile.
"I hope you are wrong sis. I rather have them both alive as much as possible," said Alouette as she walked in try to hide her worriness.
"Sis. We do not know but I do think it would be better if we both go. We need to try to minimize the casualties," said Aile.
"I do think that if we did find Artemis Space colony we do need to worry more. I just hope that Commander Freya did not hear us because it would worried her more since she is Sardine's girlfriend," said Alouette. Freya heard them and try not to be so noticeable. She heard everything with Thor and Aile. She left the room and went to her room and cried.
"Sardine. Please be safe. Please come back to me. I already lost you once I do not want to lose you again," said Freya as a shadow watching her.
"Well the human is still living and now this girl is worried about a 600 year old reploid that is going to retire soon. Better late than never. Though I do think I should find the perfect way to retire him in battle," said Vern as he looked at Chrono after he finished looking at Freya.
"It would be the same way I am going to get rid of that guy who got my Athena," said Vern to Chrono who is still not responding to Vern.
