After giving it some thought, I decided not to show myself to anyone that might have a connection to Knukcles...and at the same time I did chose to. And I had to hurry and get to my destination. It was raining and I hate being in this kind of weather.
I landed in front of a buliding hardly used. If Celty's data is correct, then this is a werehouse and a control room for the city's servalence system. Cheacking to see no one was around, I grabbed the door knob and even thought it was locked, I pushed the door open with no trounle at all.
Once inside I closed the doo behing me and re-locked it. I do not wish for any mobians to find me here. And If this unit is lucky, Nicole the A.I. will not be coming here to pay a visit to the person I am here to see. I shook some water off and then gazed around the room. Lot's of machines filled the entire place along with a large computer screen.
I moved to the shadows and silently moved throught the building looking for the person this unit needs to see. I looked over at a cabnet full of old documents of the time when Mobotropolice was still a small vilage called Knothole.
"Come on out. I know your in here." Someone called and I stopped moving. Gazing around for the source of the voice, I spotted a faint red light that came off the person I came to see, Dimitri.
I stepped out of the shadows and faced the old echidna. Honestly, this unit could not tell what he was feeling but he looked calm. Dimitri is Knuckles grandfather. Also was one of the Enerjak before Knuckles. Dimitri had gone through so much in his life that he no olnger had a body. I know it sound's weird, even to this unit, but he was basicly a head that was more than half machine. His dreadlocks where long and plugged up to a machine and from Celty's data, her could use them to move around. He freaks this unit out...
"And who might you be?" He asked showing no fear in his voice. "Are you from the Eggman Empire come to get rid of me?" He added and I shook my head no.
"This unit's name is Prophet." Dimitri's gaze brightened and said "And I guess you picked that name out yourself?" I nodded and then he said "So why are you here Prophet."
"It's a long story...one that does not start here on Mobius, but in another world called Earth."
"I've got time to listen." He said and I spent the rest of the day telling him most of Celty's data, leaving out Dr. Finitevus, and then I told Dimitri about what had happened at the Eggman Empire, once again not telling the fight between this unit and Dr. Finitevus.
Dimitri listened to every word and sometimes asked a question or two. And when I had finished he huffed and said "You are going about this wrong Prophet. Celty the Lynx is not meer data or a memmory...she is you."
"This unit does not understand Dimitri. I am not Celty, I can't be her. For I do not feel, or am the same as she once did." Dimitri chuckled and said "Prophet, you are Celty. Your cybernetics have just changed the way you view, and process things." I simply stared at the echidna and he sighed.
"Prophet, your still Celty. It's just that you belive that she is gone before you do not look the same." I looked down at the floor and then thought about it.
"You may be right. But I still don't feel like I am Celty the Lynx."
"And you won't...at least not for a while. Overtime I think you will be the same old Celty." He said and I gave a sigh and nodded. There was a moment of scilence before Dirmitri asked "How is the Dark Egg Legion Prophet?"
"Diffrent. The Grandmaster is Lien-Da and she is bent on revenge. But I don't see why she doesn't go after the Iron Queen instead of Dr. Finitevus." I said and then added "I am without a function or mission...Do you need help with anything?"
He was silent and then said "I guess you can help with..." So for the past week, I had been hiding in there with Dirmitri helping him keep track of the computer systems as well with the power all over Mobius. I had nothing else to do. Sometimes I might leave in the middle of the night to go on a short walk before I return and shut down into sleep mode or to recharge.
One day...
"How is the western side of Mobotropolice Prophet?" Dirmitri asked and i checked the computer and said "Power seems to be normal with a little spike coming from life-form Miels Tails Prower's workshop."
"That is fine." Dirmitri said and sighed. I looked away from the screen and stared at the echidna. Being with him for over a week has made him less creepy to this unit. "Dirmitri?" I called to get his attention.
"What do you need Prophet?" He said and I asked "Why do you not create another body? I can guess that you do not wish to stay here in this werehouse forever until it is your time to move on."
Dimitri gave me a "I don't want to talk about it" look and I turned away from him. I changed the screen on the computer to the east side just as i heard a click that came from the door. I quickly moved from my spot and hid in the back on the room, hidden in the shadows.
"Good afternoon Dimitri." A female voice said and I reconized it as Nicole the A.I. "Same to you child." He said casting a glance over at where I was hiding. "What brings you here?" Dirmitri asked Nicole and she said "I am not sure, but I think that I have picked up another A.I. in the area."
"And you want to know if I have also noticed that as well." Dirmitri said for Nicole and then said "I have." Nicole's face changed to worry and she said "I wonder what it is and is it from Dr. Eggman."
"And what would you do if you met this other A.I.?" He asked and Nicole sat on the floor and shrugged. "It matters if it's dangerous to the people of the city."
"And what if it is but will not harm any of them?" He said with a hidden warning to this unit. Nicole looked up at Dirmitri and said "I mean not to be rude Dirmitri, but you sound like you have already met this new A.I."
"I have." Nicole's eyes widen and she leaped to her feet and Dirmitri said "Relax Nicole, she is no danger to anyone excsept for the Dark Egg Legion and Eggman." Following Dirmitri's words. I stepped out of the shadows and Nicole backed up and made a small gasping noise.
"Greetings Nicole. I am Prophet the unit, or A.I." I said and walked up next to Dirmitri. Nicole looked me over and then gasped and asked "Celty? Is that you?"
"Yes. I think..." I looked down at Dirmitri and he nodded and said "Yes this is Celty the Lynx. Care to exsplane to our friend Prophet?" I nodded before I told the story off how I was robotizized and everything past that. Some reason I only trust Dirmitri to keep my secret about Earth. This unit does not know why though.
Nicole sighed and said "I'm sorry that happened to you Celty." she said and I sharply said "Prophet." Nicole nodded and said "Sorry, I ment Prophet." I shrugged and turned away from them and sat down in a chair and turned the screen back on. Not even 0.5 seconds later, I was back up and said "Dirmitri. There is are Airships comming this way."
I put the screen on full screen so he along with Nicole could see. It was the Egg Fleat. "Looks like Eggman's going to try again." Nicole said and then started to speak to Dirmitri about something.
While they did that, I looked at the Egg Fleat and noticed a new ship that this unit, and Celty the lynx do not reconize. But I can already tell what it was used for by the makings of it.
"It's a strike and flee." I said and got the two's atttention. I pionted to the huge silver ship in the somewhat back middle. "That one is going to attack the city. The others are just to drive your attention away from it. Once the shiled is weak enough, he will strike."
"I'll go warn the Freedom Fighters." Nicole said and left through the system by using her nanites. Now the two of us waited in scilence and suddenly felt a slight shake. "Looks like he is starting the first strike." Dirmitri said and then looked over at me and said "So, Prophet, what do you plan to do now?"
"Nothing to help fight against Eggman. That Might be Lien-Da come to draw me out, or Eggman just want's a new toy. And I am to dangerous to be cought by that overgrown fat ass."
Dirmitri laughed a bit before he asked "other than you being another Robian, what makes you so diffrent and more powerful as you are saying?" I turned to look at him and said "I still have my powers from when I was a mobian." I held up my hand and a blue flame of Aura appeared.
"Although I try not to use it that much. For it might effect my heart-drive and wireing. For Aura is for life-forms. I am a machine."
"You are not a machine. You are a mobian just waiting to turn back into flesh and blood." Dirmitri said and then I looked back at the screen. The fight was an air strike between the Tornado and another Aircraft the Freedom Fighters own. Everything seemed to be going okay.
That is until I saw that and Airship opened up and dropped something. It was green and a liquid. Then I saw when it made contact to the shield, a part dissapeared. And one happen to land directly above us. The green stuff disappeared on contact to the shiled, but now we could be hit with a air strike and be affected.
"Dirmitri..." I said with worry. "I know Prophet. I think you should move to another location before an Attack hit's this building." He said and I turned around and asked "What about you? You need to leave as well or you could get...killed." This unit hatted anything that had to do with death.
"HA! I don't think it really maters. Nothing will change and No one will miss me if I die." He said and I looked at the floor and then Looked back up and walked over to him. The computer flashed red for a warrning to leave the area.
"This unit would miss you." I said and started to unhook him from the machine. "P-Prophet!" I could tell he was very suprised. So is this unit. After I had down that, I held him in my arms and then ran to the door and kicked it down.
"I know a place we can go for now." I said and thrusted my engion and rockets and flew into the air as fast as I could. I flew up and out of one of the holes in the shiled and just as I passed outside, the werehouse was hit with a bomb and exsploded.
Dirmitri had also seen that but did not speak a word. So now I had uncovered in my data one more place we could go. Althou, I do not think Dirmitri will be very fond of it. This unit flew for a few hours until a very old, and ruind temple came into fiew.
"Where are we Prophet?" Dirmitri finaly asked and I said "My first home on Mobius. And it did not always look like this. Once it was complete and did not look like a battle field. The Dark Egg Legion had bombed the place from the inside."
I flew inside the temple through a huge hole on where the lab was. "Maybe I can find you something to at least give you mobility."
"You would most likely have to build something and I don't know if these machines can be used and...Who's lab is this Prophet?" He suddenly asked and I sighed. "This would be the old lab of Dr. Finitevus the echidna."
"What! You lived with Dr. Finitevus?" He shouted and I shrugged and said "That is what Celty remembers...so you mad?" I said the last part playfully and then added "Dr. Creepy Von evil isn't here." There was a chuckle when I called Finitevus by his Scourge nickname.
"I guess I'm not mad. Just suprised. Any more secrets you care to share?" "I got one that would knock you off your feet...if you had any." I said and smiled.
"Ha ha...So what would that little secret be?" He asked in anoyed voice. My smile got bigger and I said "Celty loved him." I felt Dirmitri shudder at that thought and I laughed. "You sure are a strange one." He said and I placed him on a chair that was not ruined.
"Okay. Let's see what my robian knowlage and this room full of scrap metal can do!" I started getting things for Dirmitri to be able so move around in. Dirmitri has become a close friend to this unit. And has helped this unit figure out that Celty is still alive. I am Celty. So I think he should get something in return.
