Private Prague, U.N.P.K
Chapter 25

Protague vs Prague: Pawn of Justice

"Your power is a threat to mankind, Prague!" Elma yelled, standing safely behind Protague, "You can take down large armored vehicles without a sweat. You can eradicate an entire army in a flash. You can solo a spaceship!" she listed, "This is unreal!"

"Science is victorious." Prague grumbled as he put his fists back on his arms, "I was engineered to be the ultimate sentinel of mankind... my mission is nothing else."

"Science wouldn't cause all this destruc-"

"Science doesn't care about morality, Lin." Prague told the small girl, "You should know that. That's why my makers had a difficult time ever making an 'emotion chip', so to speak." he sighed, then looked dead into Protague's eyes, "Even in my complete stage I do not have one."

"Then how do you c-"

"I have a predetermined set of responses." Prague interrupted Gwin, "All of them vary in accordance to a personality profile. So every thing I have ever reacted to with emotion... is actually emotion in quotations."

"So you're basically a machine that plays on human emotion!" Irina growled, "Everything you've ever said to me in order to help was just a predetermined set of answers!?"

"Yes." Prague told her, "These predetermined emotional response take about 45% of my hard drive memory."

"That's why when you reach certain situations, you respond with: 'I will respond with X'." Doug mumbled, "Because you're making up new things as you go along!"

"In theory, yes." Prague shook his head, "But... My main mission is still to protect and serve mankind, nothing will change that." he took a stance when he noticed Protague tense up.

"How can we be so sure?" Elma said with much skepticism, "How can we be so sure that an amoral agent will continue to do a moral thing? Why should we trust you? On what authority should we listen to you."

"Elma..." Lin looked at her holodev and saw a stream of code flowing down, "My sensors are indicating a serious anomaly in Prague's sys-"

"You will trust me because... I AM." Prague's eyes glowed a ghastly white as they scanned Pragued.

"He must have not taken to lightly the fact that we betrayed him..." Lin muttered as she saw the code start to become increasingly random to the point of it being unintelligible even to the most discerning machine.

"Or maybe he's just a psycho!" Doug growled as he prepared his weapon.

"If psycho means a serious flaw in his design that does not account for paradigms of conflicting nature, then yes..." Elma muttered, "You're telling me somewhere in his coding things went awry when we, the humans who he was programmed to defend, betrayed him?"

"He wasn't outfitted with a safety program." Lin scanned Prague's systems, "Usually A.I has a break switch when they are introduced to paradoxes or conflicting things... he does not." she shook his head, "At this stage, he's irrational beyond comprehension! A-"

"Enough! You are a threat!" Prague yelled and extended his arms to them, "You will be eliminated for the good of mankind!" his face did small twitches when he said such a comment, "FIRE!" he shot out his fists like rockets, which targeted Protague.

Protague growled and jumped over them expertly, then opened fired at the android with his Ether Psycho launchers.

"Now we're talking!" Irina appeared and fired at the android, along with all the other allies.

"HRAHH!" Doug released a powerful beam barrage to add to the mounting damage.

"Don't stop!" Gwin yelled as all their shots struck the android.

"Sorry, Prague..." Lin mumbled, "FIRING ALL ROUNDS!" she yelled and made her gatling gun roar.

The combined energies of all the shots started to pile up in a large explosion, until the assault ended in a bright flash.

"Ha... ha... ha..." Lao panted as he saw his steaming sniper rifle barrel, "We wasted him..."

"No way he could have survived that..." Irina chuckled and turned to Gwin, "Good job." she brought him in for a kiss.

"Save it!" Elma raised her hand as Protague stepped back cautiously.

Protague turned to his partner, and shook his head grimly as red lasers appeared from the smoke of the impact zone.

"Huh?" Doug muttered as he saw one of the lasers land on him, and then every one of his allies.

"What in the..." Elma saw as the small laser point crawled to her chest area, "Oh n-"

"Gagarin Mass Accelerator Gun!" a booming voice yelled and various jolts of blue plasma energy shot out of the smoke.

"GWAH!" Lao was struck and sent flying back, down but not out.

"Woah!" Gwin barely avoided the bolt aimed for him and pushed Irina away from the one aimed at her.

"AH!" Elma screamed as she was hit in the right leg and sent crashing into Lin.

"You bastard!" Doug roared and fired his raygun at the android, "Myopic Screen!" he launched his dark laser.

Protague extended his hand, but too late.

"HRAH!" Prague shot out of the smoke and missile kicked Doug, sending the man flying back, "Khrushchev Type Missile Gatling!" he yelled and fired an array of small warheads.

"Damn!" Doug saw the small missiles heading towards him, but then saw all of them being destroyed before they impacted.

"Get your ass out of there!" Lao appeared, "Come on!" he picked up his friend.

"Eliminate the Threat." Prague focused on the two and extended his arm, "Kumarov- GRAH!" he groaned when he was struck in the side by a strong force.

"Starfall Fling!" Protague yelled and struck Prague with his Ion Blade, then finished with a kick.

"Hmph..." Prague stood up with a grunt, then analyzed Protague, "You are in your other state... my calculations indicate you are the greatest threat..." he aimed his exposed wrist blaster at him.

"No he's not, we are!" Elma appeared and struck Prague with her dual blades, "Shadow STRIKE!"

"CRAZY HAMMER!" Lin smashed the android down with her shield, "HYAH!"

"HRAH!" Prague grabbed hold of the shield and used his strength to throw her off, "HAH!" he jumped up and sprinted to Protague.

Protague stood stunned as Prague reached his location in minimal time.

"Hah!" Prague uppercuted Protague in the stomach, causing a notable snap to be heard, "Eliminate!" the android drove his other arm into his foe's stomach, "TSAR TYPE A CANNON!" he roared and a brillaint light shone.

"Damn!" Irina growled as the ground started to shake and the light start to blind them.

A huge laser blast shot out and completely engulfed Protague and Prague.

"WAH!" Protague's allies were blown away by the immense power of the attack.

0000000

"Ha... Ha..." Prague stood in ruined landscape, then scanned around to see all the others had survived, battered but alive.

"Ah... Ah... Ah..." Protague panted as he looked at his ruined self.

"My strongest attack..." Prague muttered as he noticed half of his arms were completely blown off due to the force of the blast, "You must have the author's plot guard..."

"Astral Protection." Protague smirked, "Plus Elma's doppleganger... Half of your attack never hit me..."

"I must... eliminate you... Threats to mankind... Mankind... threat to Mankind..." Prague spazzed a bit in his speech, "Mankind... is a threat... to Mankind..." his head twitched.

Protague saw as the Metamorphic reconstralloy started to rebuild Prague's arms.

"Ha!" Prague yelled as he was completely restored, "FIRE EVERYTHING!" his arms grew every weapon imaginable and started firing.

"HAH!" Protague gasped as he saw all the missiles, grenades, laser beams, and bullets head his way.

But they were all stopped by a large figure...
