Me: Hello and welcome to Apocalypse Crossing end of day's second what if chapter
Leon: Oh great so now your bothering the Leon's of alternate realities
Me: I'm also bothering the Wesker's
Leon: Yes... you are. Anyway what happens this chapter?
Me: Well I get a sentient suit of armour
Leon: Ryan... you already have one
Me: I do?
Leon: Does the name Samoid ring a bell?
Me: No, Samoid doesn't have a bell
Leon: Idiot
Me: Anyway time for
What if there was a second Samoid?
"Data log 381183... After the Majora fiasco, Master Ryan confined himself to the room where I usually repair myself. He said he's going to even the odds in this war of ours. Despite warning him of Susie's strange vital signals he has taken no notice. He assured me everything will be fine as soon as he has finished his 'project'. It has been two days since then and I... am not so sure. Terminate recording" I stated as my recording software recorded my words and saved them as a wav file and stored it upon my hard drive
"He still in there?" Leon asked as he entered the main room and sat upon one of the chairs around the meetings table
"Yes" I replied as I too took a seat
"This thing better be good" Kid Cat yawned as he took a seat
"It should... be" Agent S rasped as she took the second to last seat
"Well it is" Ryan laughed as he left his work shop
"And what pray tell is it" Leon asked
"It is this" Ryan replied as he pointed at the figure that had just entered the room
I stared in disbelief, this figure which Ryan was so happily showing to us was identical to me in every way, from the arm cannon to the visor, it was an exact duplicate
"Allow me to introduce you to Samoid 2.0" Ryan shouted happily
"Greetings subjects Samoid, Leon, Kid Cat and Agent S" Samoid 2.0 stated
"While it lacks the charm of my beloved original automaton it should be able to assist us in battle" Ryan explained
"Ryan... how did you make this?" Leon asked
"Well you see the panic room had two pods containing power suits, unfortunately while the suit which would become Samoid was in mint condition when I found it, the suit which is now Samoid 2.0 was damaged" Ryan continued to explain "Due to my short attention span... hey look it's Kid Cat... hi Kid Cat"
"Master Ryan you are deviating from the explanation" Samoid 2.0 stated
"Oh yeah... anyway I was too lazy to repair the suit so I simply left it and took the suit that would become Samoid and then the zombies happened, I absorbed gyroids, the odds got really bad yadadada... so I decided it was time to increase our odds by repairing the suit and giving it a rudimentary A.I" Ryan continued
"Rudimentary?" Kid Cat queried
"Well because Samoid and I were joined for so long and it developed an A.I for itself, it has a personality and it set its own directives. Samoid 2.0 on the other hand had to have an A.I built from scratch, it follows a simple set of directives and restrictions and functions according to them" Ryan replied
"And these... directives and restrictions... are?" Agent S asked
"Its directive is to eliminate any significant threats to 'Master Ryan' an-" Ryan began before he was interrupted
"Significant threats?" Leon asked
"With the amount of times you threaten me you'd be dead in a minute" Ryan replied
"True" Leon mused "And the restrictions?"
"It's restrictions are not to harm subjects Leon, Kid Cat, Agent S, Samoid, Matt or Susie unless absolutely necessary and to never ever harm subject Ryan" Ryan replied "Its A.I also adapts and learns how to execute its directive better"
"Well it's... good to have another ally" Leon mused
"Umm... the more the merrier" Kid Cat awkwardly laughed
"Good... work" Agent S rasped... though it seemed to take longer than usual
While Ryan was blissfully unaware of the lack of enthusiasm, I knew the others were worried about my reaction to Samoid 2.0, to think Ryan would replace me after all I've done for him
"So Samoid what do you think?" Ryan asked
"... adequate..." I stated and made my way into the work shop, walking past Ryan and his creation
"What's up with him... her... him... it... What's up with Samoid?" Ryan asked
"You replaced... her" Leon replied
"Her?" Ryan asked
"I don't know it just gives off a feminine vibe" Leon replied
"Oh... wait I didn't replace her" Ryan shouted "I'm just trying to help our odds"
"Yeah well how would you feel if we cloned you and gave that clone Majora's Mask?" Kid Cat asked
"Didn't that already happen?" Ryan asked
"No" Agent S rasped
"Could have sworn it did... anyway I'll go talk to... her" Ryan responded as he made his way towards the workshop with Samoid 2.0 following him
"Data log 381184, I can't believe he replaced me" I muttered angrily as my recording software recorded my words and began saving them as a wav file "I protected him from zombies and saved him on numerous occasions and this is the thanks I get? I swear sometimes I feel like punching through his skull. Terminate recording"
"Samoid are you okay?" Ryan asked
"No I'm not" I shouted "How could you replace me?"
"I didn't replace you" Ryan argued "I just animated another power suit to increase our odds... if anything it's a compliment"
"How in the world is it a compliment?" I screamed
"We-we-well I tho-tho-ought si-sin-since you were su-such a go-goo-good memb-membe-mem-membrane of the team it would be gr-great to h-h-Have another Sa-Samoid" Ryan stuttered nervously
"I... I see" I stated
"I'm sorry" Ryan apologised
"No I... I over reacted... it's not your fault" I sighed
"Well I'm glad we sorted that out" Ryan chuckled "Anyway do you think you could take Samoid 2.0 under your wing?"
"What?" I asked in confusion
"You know, teach it about our enemies, our strategies, my bedtime, those kind of things" Ryan explained
"Oh... sure" I replied
"Great, I'll leave you two to get acquainted" Ryan said as he left Samoid 2.0 and me alone
"Does Master Ryan wish me to accompany you subject Samoid?"Samoid 2.0 asked
"Yes... I suppose" I replied "I'll give you the tour then"
With that I began to show my titanium twin around our home base, explaining the function of each room and outlining escape procedures should the need arise to use them, I also copied the files on our allies and enemies on to its hard drive
"And that's just about everything" I stated as we entered the repair centre "Any questions?"
"Negative" Samoid 2.0 replied "Rooms defined, categorised and documented accordingly as are escape procedures and ally and enemy bios"
"Good" I stated "Now le-"
"Should we report to Master Ryan to receive our next orders?" Samoid 2.0 asked
"No, if Master Ryan needs us he'll come find us" I replied "Although we should probably go tell him how you're progressing"
"Understood" Samoid 2.0 stated "Shall we go then?"
"Yes" I replied as we made our way to find Ryan
"And that is how I saved Leon using only my wits and a large medium sized spoon" Ryan, who was sitting on a chair next to the table in the main hall, laughed
"Please stop telling that 'story'" Leon begged
"No" Ryan laughed
"Greetings Master Ryan and subject Leon" Samoid 2.0 greeted
"I've finished showing Samoid 2.0 round our base" I explained
"Thanks" Ryan thanked "Now what do you say we devise some sort of plan to get out of here
"Sure" Leon replied "I'll go get Kid Cat"
"And I'll go get Agent S" Ryan said "You two wait here"
"Okay" I stated
"Affirmative master" Samoid 2.0 stated
With Leon off to get Kid Cat and Ryan off to get Agent S I decided to sit down in my seat. It was at this moment I realised Samoid 2.0 did not have a seat.
"I'll just go get you a seat then" I stated as I made my way towards the store room
"Affirmative" Samoid 2.0 stated
"I suppose Samoid 2.0 isn't too bad" I mused as I grabbed a chair from the store room and made my way back to the main hall "In fact it mi-"
"DANGER" Samoid 2.0 shouted "Target acquired"
"What's going on" I shouted as I ran into the main hall and put the chair I had brought down
"Subject Samoid load your arm cannon an enemy is in the vicinity" Samoid 2.0 commanded as it pointed its arm cannon at Susie
"Samoid why is... Samoid pointing its arm cannon at me?" Susie asked
"Samoid 2.0 what are you doing?" I asked angrily
"Subject Susan is a threat according to my scanners and therefore must be eliminated" Samoid 2.0 explained as it charged its arm cannon
"Stand down" I shouted
"Negative, she is a threat to Master Ryan" Samoid 2.0 argued
"Stand down" I repeated
"Negative" Samoid 2.0 shouted "Charging of arm cannon finished in five, four, three"
"Samoid a little help here?" Susie asked nervously
"STAND DOWN" I shouted as I pointed my own arm cannon at Samoid 2.0
"One" Samoid 2.0 stated "Shooting arm cannon now"
"No" Leon shouted as he tackled Susie out of the way of the blast... unfortunately as a result he took the blast to his leg "Oh my Majora, my leg is... is... asleep?"
"A paralysis beam" Samoid 2.0 responded "A non lethal beam designed to temporarily paralyse the target"
"What were you thinking Samoid 2.0?" I shouted "I gave you a direct order and you deliberately disobeyed me
"I don't take orders from you subject Samoid, I take orders from Master Ryan and when he is not present I follow my directives which include eliminating threats to Master Ryan, which is what I'm going to do now" Samoid 2.0 replied as it began to recharge its arm cannon "Of course as part of my restrictions I cannot hurt subject Susan unless absolutely necessary so the paralysis beam will have to suffice"
"Stop right now" I shouted
"Negative" Samoid 2.0 replied
"Then I'll stop you" I shouted as I charged my arm cannon
"As will I" Leon shouted as he loaded his gun
"Unable to eliminate subjects Leon and Samoid as per restriction one... but not taking any action would conflict with directive one... response: incapacitate subjects Leon and Samoid without using lethal force" Samoid 2.0 calculated as it shot its paralysis beam at Leon
"Stop doing that" Leon shouted as he fell to the floor
"Now for subject Samo-" Samoid 2.0 began but was interrupted by me punching it in the helmet, tripping it over and pinning it to the floor
"Movement error" Samoid 2.0 blared "Assessing situation... Subject Leon is incapacitated... Subject Susan is a serious threat and is currently free to harm Master Ryan... Subject Samoid appears to have turned against me and by extension Master Ryan... I am unable to move due to interference by subject Samoid... unable to use arm cannon... suggested action is to use power bombs... proximity to bombs would eliminate subject Susie and subject Leon and harm subject Samoid... while this does conflict with restriction one, directive one is of a higher priority therefore restriction one may be overridden... likelihood that Ryan will survive is 97.3811%... permission to use power bomb granted... activating power bombs in 30... 29"
"Samoid stop that thing now" Leon shouted
"28... 27" Samoid 2.0 blared
"Very well" I replied as I shot my arm cannon directly at Samoid 2.0's head, damaging it greatly
"Likelihood of survival 38.11%... Speeding up countdown accordingly... 10... 9..." Samoid 2.0 blared
"Damn... looks like I'll have to take lethal force... Susie get Leon out of here" I shouted
"Okay" Susie shouted as she helped the now slightly less paralysed Leon to his feet and began to guide him to the exit
"5... 4..." Samoid 2.0 blared
"Goodbye" I shouted as I prepared to punch through Samoid 2.0's helmet and thus destroy her CPU
"What's going on here?" Ryan asked as he, Kid Cat, Agent S and Matt entered the room
"You've got to get out of he—" I began before I was interrupted
"1... Activati- Master Ryan's proximity to power bomb activation site would result in an estimated 98.311% likelihood of death... cancelling activation of power bombs as per directive one and restriction two... calculating alternative method to eliminate subject Susie" Samoid 2.0 blared
"Samoid get off of Samoid 2.0" Ryan shouted
"But it was... and I was... an Le-" I stuttered
"I said get off of her" Ryan repeated
"But I... Yes sir" I sighed as I got off of 'her' and rose to my feet
"Her?" Leon asked
"I don't know it just gives off a feminine vibe" Ryan replied as he helped Samoid 2.0 up "Are you okay?"
"There is a calculated 22.3% damage to my helmet... all other parts of my body are functioning accordingly Master Ryan" Samoid 2.0 replied
"Now why don't we all calm down... Samoid 2.0 what happened?" Ryan asked
"I was going to incapacitate subject Susie as per my directive when I was attacked by subject Samoid and subject Leon" Samoid 2.0 explained
"And then you tried to blast us all into oblivion" I shouted angrily
"Because you gave me no other choice, without my arm cannon I was unable to incapacitate subject Susie so I was force to go to the next logical step-" Samoid 2.0 began before she was interrupted
"Activating POWER BOMBS is the next logical step?" Leon asked angrily as he, assisted by Susie, limped towards us
"Being unable to use my arm cannon, with Susie being an immediate threat to Master Ryan and with you and subject Samoid turning against Master Ryan activating power bombs was the only logi-" Samoid 2.0 began before she was again interrupted
"Now wait just one minute you glorified toaster, I may have pinned you down but I would never ever turn against Master Ryan" I shouted angrily "That you would even suggest that i-"
"I've heard enough" Ryan interrupted "Now Samoid 2.0 let's get your helmet repaired and I'll have another look at your A.I... something must be wrong with it... Samoid, Leon will you assist me please?"
"Of course Ryan I'd be happy to make changes to her A.I... or get rid of it" I replied all though I said the last part quietly
"Sure" Leon replied "I think I can just about walk now"
"But Master Ryan my A.I i-" Samoid 2.0 began
"You heard Master Ryan, let's go" I interrupted
And with that we four made our way to the repair room, leaving the others very confused.
"So what changes are you going to make to the A.I" I asked
"None" Ryan replied as he welded a crack in Samoid 2.0's helmet that I had made
"None?" Leon asked "What do you mean none? That thing just tried to kill us"
"And it was highly justified" Ryan replied "It followed the directive and restrictions perfectly and logically, isn't that right Samoid 2.0?"
"Affirmative Master Ryan" Samoid 2.0 replied
"You see Samoid 2.0 is not the problem" Ryan explained
"If that bomb happy excuse for a droid isn't than what is?" I asked angrily
"Susie, Samoid 2.0's reaction shows that, one way or another, Susie is a considerable threat" Ryan explained
"Wait, so when I tell you Susie is a threat you ignore me, but when this robotic rip-off says Susie is a threat you believe her?" I once again asked angrily
"It's not that I didn't believe you Samoid, I simply did not believe Susie was a considerable threat and I deemed building Samoid 2.0 to be more important... but it seems I was wrong, so I think we should go with Leon's plan of checking that Umbrella lab... although I could of sworn we have done that already" Ryan replied
"We haven't" Leon muttered "But we should check it now"
"Very well Master Ryan" I replied
"Well you're just about repaired Samoid 2.0" Ryan mused
"Thank you Master" Samoid 2.0 replied "According to me sensors all my systems are functioning at optimum performance, in lamans terms you did a good job repairing the damage"
"Kiss up" I muttered as we made our way back to the main hall
"Well we're going to go get some... supplies" Ryan lied
"Yes Ryan, Samoid and I will go and get some food from some of the nearby houses, we should be back in a few hours, Kid Cat, Agent S, while we're gone you can teach Matt and Susie some basic techniques so they'll be more likely to survive this living hell" Leon lied, in a much more convincing way than Ryan did
"What about escaping this living hell?" Matt asked
"Well we could do that now but you and Susie would be unlikely to survive the trip there... especially with Wesker and merry menagerie of mutated morons gallivanting across the town" Leon replied
"Hey that merry menagerie insult was mine" Ryan shouted
"Well I wrote that chapter so it was mine" Leon retorted... seconds later an anvil hit him upon the head
"Hooray for running gags" Ryan shouted
"So we'll stay here and train... and you guys go and get supplies" Matt mused
"Agreed" everyone said in unison... except for Samoid 2.0
"Dear Majora this dialogue sounds awfully familiar, except the word I was used a lot more... and there was no mention of Samoid 2.0... it's almost as if someone just copy and pasted a chunk of text from 'chapter 15 The curious case of Susie maddened' and made some slight changes" Ryan mused... the anvil fell but before it could make contact Samoid 2.0 grabbed it and set it down gently on the floor
"And what about myself Master Ryan?" Samoid 2.0 asked
"You are coming with us" Ryan replied
"Are you sure that is wise Master Ryan?" I asked in a tone that made it quite clear to anyone that wasn't fully robotic that I did not want Samoid 2.0 to accompany us
"You heard Master Ryan, let's go" Samoid 2.0 stated as she, accompanied by Ryan, her made way toward the Umbrella lab
"Did she just mimic what I said earlier to mock me? I hate her" I muttered as I followed Ryan
"As do I" Leon muttered as he followed me
"So... let's get to training" Kid Cat mused
After several minutes of brisk walking we came cross the lab that had become so instrumental in our adventures
"So found any information yet?" Leon asked as he looked through another computer file
"No" Ryan replied as he red another of the diaries of the scientists that worked here "When did it all become so complicated... and oddly familiar? Remember the good old days Leon?"
"What good old days?" Leon asked
"Well remember that time we fought off zombies in the Winchester?" Ryan asked
"Ryan that was Shaun of the dead" Leon corrected
"Oh... oh yeah" Ryan sighed "What about the time we chained Merle to the roof?"
"That was the Walking Dead" Leon corrected
"How about that time we found Fred in the middle of a street?" Ryan asked
"That was I am legend" Leon muttered
"How about when I walked around an abandoned London, walked into a church and was attacked by a rage infected priest and then you and Kid Cat got him with-" Ryan began
"We are not referencing that series again" Leon interrupted "Any other stories from the 'good old days'?"
"The time we went to investigate a series of disappearances at the Curien Mansion? The time we fought zombies in Pennsylvania? The time we fought those weird zombies on the Ishimura? The time we fought zombies in that mall in Willamette? The time we fought zombies on Banoi?" Ryan asked frantically
"House of the dead, Left 4 dead, Dead space, Dead rising and Dead island" Leon sighed "One more... I will suffer through one more of these 'memories'"
"Okay what about the time we went on vacation to that cabin in the woods and found the Necronomicon?" Ryan asked
"That was the evil dead" Leon sighed
"I have the Necronomicon at the home base in that vault" Ryan laughed happily "Dear Majora why is this so familiar? Hey what about that time I became super intelligent, cloned myself, gave the clone the mask and through a series of events orchestrated by me we beat Wesker? Or what about the time Big Top won and I died... kind of?
"I... don't remember any of that" Leon muttered in confusion "This isn't like the large medium sized spoon story is it? Because unlike that, this actually sounds like something that could of happened... sort of"
"No it isn't like that story and I do remember it... for some reason" Ryan muttered
"I think I've found something" Samoid 2.0 stated
"And what would that be?" Leon asked
"Bi-" Samoid 2.0 began before she was interrupted. She also chucked what she had found to Leon.
"Big Top's personal journal" Ryan interrupted
"... Affirmative Master Ryan... Anyway chec-" Samoid 2.0 began before she was again interrupted
"Page 38 to 45" Ryan interrupted... again
"...Negative Master Ryan... anyway check pages 11 to 12" Samoid commanded
"I'm pretty sure we should be checking pages 38 to 45" Ryan argued
"Quiet Ryan" Leon shouted "11 to 12, 11 to 12... ah here we are... it seems to be some sort of file... Samoid what do you think?"
With that Leon handed me the journal. I looked at it and it did appear to be a file.
Subject: S F
Gender: Female
Powers: Healing factor, advanced strength, agility and intelligence, super speed
Details: The subject is somewhat loyal to me and has proven this in the past. I will keep her in stasis and have her secretly transported to any lab I happen to reside in. When I need her services I will remove her from stasis. WARNING: remember subject is clinically insane and is a master of deception.
"I wanna see" Ryan shouted so I handed him the journal
"What do you think the S F stands for?" Leon asked
"Maybe it stands for Siamese Felicia" Ryan suggested
"Why would it stand for that?" Leon asked angrily
"Because it's about Felicia the Cat" I replied
"Who the hell is Felicia?" Leon asked angrily again
"I... don't know" Ryan replied "Just seems to fit the description"
"At any rate while I do not know what the F stands for I calculate an 83.11% likelihood that the S stands for Susan or Susie" Samoid 2.0 stated
"You have no proof of that" I argued "That S could stand for any number of things"
"Could it? Let us think about what we know. Subject Susan gives out vital signals similar to that of a B.O.W, she 'mysteriously' appears out of nowhere and claims to have amnesia. According to this file Subject subject: S F follows Big Top wherever he goes, has similar abilities to a strong B.O.W and is a master of deception. So would it be so unbelievable if Big Top removed Susan from stasis and told her to do whatever it takes to join our group so she could use her powers to pick us off one by one?" Samoid 2.0 asked
"You mean her psychic powers?" Ryan asked
"What are you talking about? Subject: S F has all the basic B.O.W powers and super speed" Leon asked
"I remember Susie having psychic powers" Ryan replied
"What do you mean you 'remember'?" I asked
"Ignore him... he's been like this all day" Leon replied "Anyway, I think Samoid 2.0 may be right"
"Thank you subject Leon" Samoid 2.0 thanked "As I said I calculate an 83.11% likelihood"
"Do you?" I asked "Or are you just letting your feelings cloud your judgement? Maybe you want to justify your earlier outburst"
"Please, I'm a machine, I don't have feelings, besides if anyone is letting their feelings cloud their judgement it's you subject Samoid" Samoid 2.0 replied, though I could swear there was a hint of smugness in her response
"Why you lousy lit-" I began before she interrupted
"At any rate, if subject Susan is subject subject: S F, then she could be attacking our allies right know, so we had better return" Samoid 2.0 explained as she made her way back to base
"Seriously... I could have sworn Susie had psychic power... and subject: S F is clearly Felicia... and we were meant to read pages 38 to 45... Where is my masked clone?... why aren't I super smart yet?... Did Big Top kill me?... Did I kill him?... Am I him?... How did I know about the journal?... Why are some of these conversations so familiar?... And if none of this stuff happened why do I remember it?... And why is it all fragmented?" Ryan muttered inaudibly "Anyway... let's go"
With that Ryan took off in pursuit of my copper copycat
"Well we should go" Leon mused as he made his way to home base "By the way I hate your metallic mimicker as much as you do... but I do think you're letting your emotions take control"
"Perhaps you're right" I sighed "But... Is it just me or is she getting more... witty"
"No... I noticed it too... maybe it's related to how Ryan said her A.I adapts" Leon mused
"Perhaps" I mused "Now let's go"
"Anybody home?" Ryan asked loudly as we re-entered home base
"Yes" Kid Cat replied "We're all here"
"And did Wesker try to open the door?" Ryan asked
"No... why?" Kid Cat asked
"I... because he did... but... "Ryan mumbled
"Ignore him" Leon replied "So where are the others exactly?
"They're resting... training was pretty intense" Kid Cat replied "So... where are the supplies?"
"We didn't get supplies" Leon replied
"I can see that... so what did you do?" Kid Cat asked
So Leon explained how we went to the Umbrella lab and what the diary told us
"I see" Kid Cat mused as he processed the information he had just been given "What are we going to do?"
"Well we still don't know if she is definitely subject: S F so for now we'll keep an eye on her and try to think of a way out of here" Leon replied
"While you do that I'm going to work on my arm cannon" I stated as I made my way towards the work shop
"I'll join you" Samoid 2.0 stated "You don't mind do you subject Samoid?"
"No... Of course not" I lied as we both made our way towards the workshop
"Wait Samoid... I need to talk to you about something" Leon shouted
"Okay" I replied, making sure to keep the relief I was feeling secret
"I'll head to the workshop by myself then" Samoid 2.0 stated as she made her way towards the work shop
"You owe me" Leon whispered
"Fair enough" I whispered
"So how are we going to get out of here?" Ryan asked
"I suppose we could take a plane from the airport" Kid Cat mused
"But is the airport safe?" I asked
"A small group of us could clear it out ahead of time" Leon suggested "Then we'd bring all our supplies and such with knowledge that the airport is safe"
"But who would go?" Ryan asked
"You, me and Samoid" Leon replied
"And what about me, subject Leon?" Samoid 2.0 asked
"Well we need some people to stay behind in case Susie is subject S F" Leon replied
"If subject Susan is subject subject S F, which she most likely is, then Kid Cat and Agent S will more than suffice" Samoid 2.0 argued "Don't you think so Master Ryan, after all one of your intellect must surely see that I would be of better use in the field than here?"
"You're right Samoid 2.0" Ryan agreed "So we four will go while you guys hold down the fort"
With that Samoid 2.0 and Ryan made their way towards the airport
"You're going now?" Kid Cat asked
"Apparently" Leon replied "She is one fine negotiator or Ryan really likes her"
"Don't rub it in" I muttered as Leon and I made our way towards the airport
Several minutes later at the airport
"So here we are at the airport" Ryan chuckled "Remember that time Big Top and Wesker attacked us here?"
"Yes" I replied
"That I actually do remember" Leon replied
"Yes Master Ryan" Samoid 2.0 replied
"You weren't even here" I argued
"True, but I have access to all of your files, you were here subject Samoid, thus I remember it" Samoid 2.0 argued "I also remember you getting beaten up by one of the subject Big Top clones, it was a good job subject Kid Cat and subject Agent S were there to help you... although I don't believe I would need help to take down such a simple adversary... but then I suppose it's not surprising that something with such a low threat level would"
"L-low threat level!?" I asked angrily "My threat level is 273, the highest threat level in our group you cocky copper contraption-"
"You're drawn for highest" Samoid 2.0 argued "Unless you're going to argue that 273 is a higher number than 273... Though considering your stubborn nature you probably will argue subject Samoid"
"How dare you talk down to me, without me you wouldn't ev-" I began before I was interrupted
"Remember the time we came here and flew to Boo Boulevard? Or the time you guys came here and Big Top attacked you and you guys beat him with the powers I gave you?" Ryan asked
"No" Leon shouted "No one remembers because it didn't happen"
"Fine, let's just go in and clear this place out then" Ryan shouted as he marched into the airport
"Wait for your strongest and most loyal subject Master Ryan" Samoid 2.0 shouted as she ran after him
"I HATE HER" I shouted as I shot at a tree, disintegrating it
"I can see that" Leon mused "And the tree can tell as well... or at least it could until you blew it up"
"Sorry it's just she... gets under my skin" I explained
"Or metal casing in your case... but I know what you mean" Leon replied "I can't stand her either"
"Wait... why?" I asked
"She tried to blow me up" Leon replied "That doesn't exactly make for a good relationship, also her obsession to terminate Susie makes her a liability... I don't like liabilities... and she's a jerk to a good friend of mine"
"... Thank you Leon..." I thanked, moved by his friendship
"No problem... now let's go before she makes another move on your boyfriend" Leon laughed
"Boyfriend? Master Ryan is not my boyfriend" I shouted angrily and embarrassedly
"Sure he's not" Leon chuckled "But seriously we'd better go"
And with that Leon took off after the others
"Boyfriend... of all the preposterous ideas" I muttered as I too followed my allies... and Samoid 2.0
We had been inside the airport for about twenty minutes and in that time we had killed ten zombies, fives Cerberuses and two lickers.
"Do we even know if there is a working plane here?" Leon asked
"There are two" Ryan replied "The one we took the first time we escaped and the one we took the... second time we escaped"
"Will you stop it already?" Leon shouted angrily "I'm sick of all this weird memory stuff"
"I would appreciate subject Leon if you used a more respectful tone when addressing Master Ryan" Samoid 2.0 commanded angrily
"Yeah well I'd appreciate it if I didn't" Leon replied
"We're approaching a cross road" Ryan muttered
"In this reality or the other one?" Leon asked mockingly
"This one" Ryan replied as he pointed to two corridors "We'll have to split up"
"I'll go with Master Ryan" I stated
"No... I'll go with Master Ryan" Samoid 2.0 argued
"No I will" I argued
"No I will" Samoid 2.0 argued
"No I will" I shouted
"No I will" Samoid 2.0 shouted
"Leon, you'll come with me" Ryan muttered, seemingly ignoring the argument between Samoid 2.0 and myself and then he began to walk off
"But Master Ryan" Samoid 2.0 shouted as she ran after Ryan
"If she thinks she's talking Master Ryan into going with her, she's got another thing coming" I muttered as I too ran towards Ryan, but before I could get anywhere I felt a hand upon my arm "Leon get off of me"
"You don't see it do you?" Leon laughed "This is the perfect opportunity"
"Explain" I commanded
"Well let's just say that while you are killing zombies with Samoid 2.0 an accident befalls her" Leon explained with a smile on his face "Of course we'd all be devastated but you'd of tried your best to save her so you couldn't be blamed"
"I see" I laughed "Of course some accidents are unavoidable"
"Yes they are" Leon agreed "Now if you'll excuse me I've been partnered up with your boyfriend"
"He is not my boyfriend" I shouted
"Of course not" Leon chuckled as he walked off "Let's go Ryan"
"Okay Leon" Ryan replied as he followed Leon, apparently ignoring Samoid 2.0 pleas for partnership
"Let's go 'partner'" I commanded as I made my way down the other corridor
"Fine" Samoid 2.0 replied angrily as she followed me down the corridor
After half an hour of silently killing zombies we entered a room that was built on a cliff just above the ocean, it appeared to be some kind of airport bar as it had chairs, a TV and... A bar. It also had a large window overlooking the ocean that sat miles below it.
"This appears to be the last room" I stated, not to anyone in particular as Samoid 2.0 was the only one in the room and I did not wish to talk to her
"Thank you for pointing out the obvious subject Samoid" Samoid 2.0 stated sarcastically
"While it would be obvious to someone with an average I.Q, I felt someone like you would need it pointing out 'subject' Samoid 2.0" I replied venomously
"I find it quite hypocritical that someone with such a low I.Q would insult someone else's I.Q" Samoid 2.0 mused "Oh sorry do you need me to define hypocritical for you subject Samoid?"
"No unlike you I have a vast knowledge of word definitions" I responded "I also don't feel obsessively compelled to use the word subject in every single sentence"
"So... now my unintelligent friend subject Samoid has run out of 'decent' insults, and I use the term decent loosely, and thus feels compelled to insult my speaking skills" Samoid 2.0 laughed "I'd say I was surprised but I would honestly expect something as pathetic from you... Samoid"
"Oh don't get confused, which I know you so easily do, I have many good insults, I just felt the need to point out your horrendous speaking skills" I retorted "For instance I find it quite amusing that you had a more likable personality when you had no personality"
"I'd rather have no personality than yours, you overly stubborn, underpowered jerk" Samoid 2.0 spat
"Says the overly compliant, underpowered jerk" I spat
"You're... you're... you're just jealous because Master Ryan likes me more" Samoid 2.0 spat
"What?" I shouted
Meanwhile with Ryan and Leon
"And if we did escape after killing Wesker and Big Top... then how am I Big Top?" Ryan muttered
"Are you still going on about that?" Leon asked angrily "I know you're insane but this is crazy even for you... and annoying"
"I know it is" Ryan replied "It's annoying me to... and I just can't figure it out"
"You've become so obsessed with 'figuring' out what's wrong with you that you've ignored all the animosity between Samoid and Samoid 2.0" Leon shouted
"Animosity? But those two get along so well" Ryan argued "... at least they do in that other reality... but then that hasn't happened yet..."
"Look I don't care about the 'other reality', in this one you've made Samoid miserable" Leon shouted angrily
"How?" Ryan asked
"You replaced her, and worse yet Samoid 2.0 has been doing everything it can to get you to like her more than Samoid" Leon replied
"She has?" Ryan asked
"How have you not noticed?" Leon asked angrily "Are you really that dense?"
"I was just distract by all the other memo-" Ryan began
"Enough about these other memories" Leon screamed as he punched Ryan in the face
"...L-Leon" Ryan stuttered in shock as he clutched his cheek
"I'm... sorry" Leon sighed "I just... needed that"
"So did I" Ryan laughed "It's all so clear now, the other reali-"
"No more" Leon shouted "No more talking about other realities, you've got to focus on this one, because you've got to make a serious decision"
"And that is?" Ryan asked
"Samoid... or Samoid 2.0" Leon replied
Meanwhile back in the airport bar
"How dare you even suggest that Master Ryan prefers you over me" I shouted
"Sorry, does the truth hurt?" Samoid 2.0 laughed "It's quite clear that Master Ryan prefers me over you"
"IT IS NOT" I shouted "I've known Master Ryan longer than you have, I've saved him more times than you have and my mind is actually based on his, giving us a connection you could never have with your rudimentary A.I"
"W-wel-" Samoid 2.0 began before I interrupted her
"After all, Master Ryan himself said that you lack the charm of his beloved original automaton, me" I laughed "And he only made you because he liked me so much"
"Well a-" Samoid 2.0 began before I again interrupted her
"Besides Master Ryan only made you to increase our odds of survival, you mean nothing to him" I laughed venomously
"I... I... I hate you" Samoid 2.0 screamed as she tackled me to the ground and started punching me "I'll kill you I'll kill you"
"I'd like to see you try" I shouted as I kicked her in the stomach and pinned her to the wall "I can't wait to tell Ryan how you were destroyed fighting zombies... though he probably won't care"
"I HATE YOU" Samoid 2.0 screamed as she head butted me, making me loosen my grip on her, she then kicked me in the stomach sending me flying out of the window
"Damn it" I shouted as I clung to the cliff side that the airport bar sat upon
"I... win... I win I win" Samoid 2.0 laughed "Oh it was terrible Master Ryan, we were walking down a corridor when a Tyrant appeared out of nowhere and attacked Samoid... no attacked Samoid 2.0, I tried to stop it, but it was too strong, I, Samoid, only managed to escape"
"What in the world are you babbling about Samoid 2.0?" I asked angrily
"No, you're Samoid 2.0, I am Samoid, Master Ryan's favourite" Samoid 2.0 laughed as she began to walk away
"You can't leave me" I screamed "It would conflict with restriction 1"
"While I, Samoid have no such restrictions, your restriction 1, Samoid 2.0, states that you cannot harm any of Master Ryan's allies, even if I was Samoid 2.0 and had such a restriction this would not breach it since I am not harming you, it'll be the jagged rocks at the bottom of this cliff that'll harm you" Samoid 2.0 laughed as she walked away
"Samoid 2.0 you come back here right now and help me up" I screamed... but she was gone "Great so not only am I dangling on the side of a cliff, Samoid 2.0 is going to replace me"
Minutes past and still I hung there, the cliff was so slippery that any attempt to move my hands to climb up would quickly result in me falling down...
"Need a hand?" A familiar voice asked
I looked up and saw Leon with his hand stretched towards me, I took it and he helped me up
"How did you know that Samoid 2.0 wasn't me" I asked collapsed on the floor, tired from hanging off the side of a cliff
"The real Samoid isn't a kiss up" Leon replied "let's go"
"Yes let's" I agreed
Meanwhile back at home base
"Leon went to check on something so we came back, but while Samoid 2.0 was unfortunately destroyed, my favourite robotic ally, Samoid, is fine" Ryan explained to Kid Cat and the others "Isn't that right Samoid?"
"I suppose it is" Samoid 2.0 replied
"No, I mean it" Ryan insisted "I may have hurt your feelings by making Samoid 2.0, but I want you to know that she meant nothing to me compared to you, you were always my favourite"
"Thank you" Samoid 2.0 stated through gritted teeth (Metaphorically obviously)
"I mean Samoid 2.0 was really only made to increase our odds of survival, I could of never had a connection with her like I do with you" Ryan said happily
"Thank... you" Samoid 2.0 said, though at this point she had to stop herself from screaming
"Of course, you're not Samoid, are you?" Leon asked rhetorically as he entered the room with me
"Give it up Samoid 2.0" I commanded
"Fine" Samoid 2.0 spat
"Fine?" I asked in confusion "No fake ignorance? No claiming I tricked Leon? No spot the impostor? Just... fine?"
"Yes... just fine" Samoid 2.0 sighed
"Why?" I asked as I moved toward her "Why go through all this effort just to give up?"
"Because you were right" Samoid 2.0 replied sadly
"About what?" I asked
"He likes you more" Samoid 2.0 replied "While he was making me he went on about the amazing robot he was building me in the image of and how much he admired her, from that moment all I wanted was to be like you so he would like me just as much... and I wanted that amazing robot to like me as well. I tried to prove myself to the both of you but my efforts to defend Master Ryan only angered you. I saw how you were always on his team no matter what the task, and while he always insisted on my accompaniment, I knew it was just because I was new. I could tell how much you resented and hated me and that combined with Master Ryan's preference of you over me made me reciprocate your feelings of loathing, so I tried to belittle you so Master Ryan would see your flaws... but I struggled to find any so I resorted to venomous sarcasm. I wanted to talk to you privately about this but Leon called you over, stopping me from doing so. Then I noticed how you and Leon both hated me and were conspiring against me and that destroyed any feelings that I might have had relating to making up with you. At the airport I tried to get Master Ryan to partner up with me, but he refused, saying he didn't want to show favouritism, but deep down I knew that if you had been the one requesting partnership he would have said yes. Then in the airport bar we argued, and the only thing that hurt more than your insults was that I knew they were right... you were and are his favourite. But then I knocked you out the window and there was a glimmer of hope, I could be Samoid, I could be Master Ryan's favourite. But even as Master Ryan stood there complimenting me, his favourite, I knew that those compliments were meant for you. I couldn't be his favourite when I was myself, and I couldn't be his favourite being you, heck I couldn't even tie with you. So yes Samoid, just... fine"
While robots couldn't cry I could tell that Samoid 2.0 was crying on the inside
"Samoid 2.0... I'm so sorry... I didn't even rea-" I began as I reached my arm out towards her, only for her to knock it away
"Don't bother, Samoid, I'm not worth the effort" Samoid 2.0 stated sadly "Power cannon, deactivate power limiter and charge up to full power"
"What are you doing?" I asked in confusion
"Preparing to self terminate" Samoid 2.0 replied
"B-but why?" I asked
"You and Leon hate me, I barely know the others and I'm not Master Ryan's favourite, so what's the point?" Samoid 2.0 replied as she pointed her arm cannon towards her head "Funny, he put in a restriction to stop me hurting any of you, but not one to stop me from hurting myself... I guess that just says it all... 5... 4... 3... 2..."
"No" I shouted as I tackled Samoid 2.0 to the ground
"1" Samoid 2.0 shouted as the cannon shot off a beam
"Ow, that really, really, REALLY hurts" Ryan screamed as the beam blew a hole in his stomach"
"Master Ryan" Samoid 2.0 shouted in unison
"Ryan" The others screamed in unison
"Master Ryan, are you okay?" I asked as Samoid 2.0 and I ran towards him
"Yeah I'm fine, apart from the huge hole in my stomach" Ryan weakly laughed "Really wish I could of remembered this in advance... goodbye everyone... it's been fun"
And so Ryan's eyes gently closed and he ceased conversation
"M-ma-mas-Master Ryan I'm so sorry" Samoid 2.0 screamed in sorrow
I looked at her in sympathy and then turned my attention towards Ryan, I put my hand to his neck... and I felt it, it was weak, but he had a pulse
"He's not dead" I shouted
"Wh-what?" Samoid 2.0 asked in shock
"He's not dead" I repeated "He can be saved, but I'll need your help, will you help me?"
"O-of course" Samoid 2.0 replied
So Samoid 2.0 and I worked together on healing Ryan's wound... and we succeeded
"Is he going to be okay?" Leon asked as Samoid 2.0 and I left the medical bay where we had left Ryan and enter the main hall
"Yes Master Ryan is going to be fine" I replied "Of course if I hadn't had Samoid 2.0's help he might have died"
"It's my fault this happened in the first place" Samoid 2.0 sighed "I don't deserve thanks"
"Perhaps not" I mused "But you do deserve an apology"
"Why?" Samoid 2.0 asked
"If I hadn't pushed you so far then this never would have happened, I should of been nicer, so what do you say, friends?" I asked as I stretched my arm out toward her
"... Friends" She replied as she shook my hand
"I guess we can be joint favourite" I laughed
"I agree" Samoid 2.0 laughed
"And I'm sorry too" Leon apologised "By the way is Ryan awake?"
"Yes" Samoid 2.0 replied "He said, and I quote, 'Well I'm glad I didn't die a second time, or for the first time in this reality I suppose'"
"I'm going to kill him" Leon shouted as he pulled out his gun "I've had enough of his alternate memory/reality talk"
"Please don't, I'm still recovering from the last attempt" Ryan laughed as he entered the room, using the Master sword as a crutch "I'm glad to see you three are all getting along now, even if I had to lose my stomach for that to happen"
"Master Ryan, if you don't mind my asking, who is your favourite?" Samoid 2.0 asked
"Yeah, I'd like to know too" I added
"Well if you mean out of you two... I'd have to call it a tie, after all you, Samoid, have been with me since the very beginning, and you, Samoid 2.0, have shown fierce, and almost scary devotion" Ryan replied
"I can live with a tie" Samoid 2.0 laughed happily
"Yeah, so can I-... wait a minute, what do you mean 'out of us two'?" I asked
"Well Leon's my favourite overall" Ryan replied
Samoid 2.0 and I looked at each other for several seconds, and then we turned our attention to Leon
"I think we can take him" I stated
"I agree" Samoid 2.0 agreed
"Now let's just stay ca-" Leon began but before he could finish Samoid 2.0 and I tackled him to the ground, we weren't going to kill him of course, just beat him up "Ryan, a little help?
"Really Leon? These two tried to kill each other to attain the position of my favourite, I think you can handle a small beating" Ryan laughed "Besides, this chapter is depressing, it needs some comic relief"
The anvil fell.
"Is that enough comic relief?" Leon asked as he picked himself up, as did Samoid 2.0 and I
"...Yes" Ryan replied "That is enough"
The next day at the airport
"And so we can finally leave" Ryan laughed
"It took a lot of work, but yes we can" Kid Cat laughed
"Finally" Susie laughed
"I'm glad it's... almost... over" Agent S rasped
"Please, you guys barely did anything this chapter" Ryan shouted, the anvil fell but Samoid 2.0 and I manage to catch it before it hit him "Matt didn't even have any new dialogue"
"A-" Matt began
"MATT DIDN'T HAVE ANY NEW DIALOGUE" Ryan shouted
"Well let's go" Leon shouted as we entered the airport
"Let's take plane 1, plane 2 wasn't as comfy" Ryan commanded
"Goodbye Kirby Road... it's been fun... and emotionally scarring" I muttered as I took one last look at the place that had been our personal battle field, then followed my friends to the plane, but before I did I blew up the helicopter that Wesker and Agent 38 had arrived in.
Two weeks later in Ryan's new underground lab
"Master Ryan, we're back from our work with C.O.M.E.T.S" Samoid 2.0 shouted as we approached Ryan
"Did you fulfil the tasks I set you?" Ryan asked as he typed some information into a small computer just below a large bio-tube
"Yes, I secretly took the C.O.M.E.T.S helicopter and captured Agent 38 for you" Samoid 2.0 replied "He is currently in your private holding facility... though I don't know what you intend to do with him"
"I have a proposition for him" Ryan replied as he typed in some more information "And you, Samoid?"
"I gave Agent S that vial you gave me" I replied "Though, I don't know what it was for"
"It's Susie's DNA and you will see what it does soon enough" Ryan replied "And I'm just about finished with my last project"
"It's not another Samoid is it?" I groaned, only to receive what I presumed was a scowl from Samoid 2.0 "Not that I don't like the second one, and I do like her, I just don't think we need a third"
"That's better, I like you too" Samoid 2.0 stated "So what is it?"
"Who is it" Ryan corrected "His name is Majora X, but he's better known as Genesis"
"So it's not a third Samoid?" Samoid 2.0 stated
"No, it's a second Ryan" Ryan replied as he typed the last bit of information into the computer "He'll be finished in an hour"
"How did you think of all this anyway Master Ryan?" Samoid 2.0 asked
"I've been wondering the same thing" I added
"Let's just say... I remembered" Ryan laughed "Though I still don't know why... and I probably never will"
Me: And so the another what if chapter comes to an end... boy that one was depressing
Leon: Very
Samoid: But it had a happy ending
Samoid 2.0: Yes it did
Me: It also has an alternate ending. So read that next.
The next day at the airport
"And so we can finally leave" Ryan laughed
"It took a lot of work, but yes we can" Kid Cat laughed
"Finally" Susie laughed
"I'm glad it's... almost... over" Agent S rasped
"Please, you guys barely did anything this chapter" Ryan shouted, the anvil fell but Samoid 2.0 and I manage to catch it before it hit him "Matt didn't even have any new dialogue"
"A-" Matt began
"MATT DIDN'T HAVE ANY NEW DIALOGUE" Ryan shouted
"Yeah but neither did I, until now" Wesker laughed
"Were you going to leave without saying goodbye?" Big Top asked menacingly
"You may have beat us in the past, but our odds have improved" Agent 38 laughed
"They've improved by quite a lot" Knight Cat laughed "I'm Knight Cat by the way, brother of Kid Cat"
"And I'-" the other figure began before she was interrupted
"Felicia the cat, sister to Kid Cat, powers included super speed, regeneration and advanced intelligence" Ryan interrupted "AKA Black Cat, AKA subject: S F"
"How did you know that?" Black Cat asked angrily
"I have a weird memory" Ryan replied "Also there was a file, might as well skip a few steps while I'm at it, Samoid's activate personality override code 38 Omega"
Suddenly both Samoid 2.0 deactivated and I crumple to the floor
"Ryan what a-" Leon began before Ryan interrupted him
"Initiate B.O.W ability protocol 32" Ryan shouted
"What in the world is goi- initiating B.O.W ability protocol 32... abilities activated..." Susie murmured
"It seems the fool did it for us" Big Top laughed "Now Susan kill these fools"
"She's not going to do it" Ryan laughed
"Command noted... command ignored" Susie murmured
"Called it" Ryan laughed "Now she's going to load the damaged files, also for the record I still don't know why she talks like a computer"
"Loading personality files... ERROR ERROR ERROR ERROR ERROR ERROR... personality files damaged... continue loading?... Loading... Loading... Loading..." Susie stated "Damaged personality files loaded... Begin reboot protocol?... Beginning reboot... Repair personality files as a secondary directive?... Secondary directive set... Reboot complete... Starting Susie in 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... So Bi-"
"Yes he dares to give you orders, know just take control of all of us" Ryan commanded "Just so you know, those two Siamese cats aren't B. , and boy did you learn that the hard way, so you'll have to control them the other way"
"Your even more insane than I am" Susie muttered "But I'll take your advice"
And with that Susan exerted her control over practically everyone
"Ni-" Agent 38 began before he was interrupted
"Years of being trained by Wesker to be emotionally distant, strong of mind and strong willed have left me unable of being brainwashed, that's what you were going to say" Ryan laughed
"H-how did yo-" Agent 38 began
"How did I know? Not sure...yet, also sword throw" Ryan shouted as he threw his sword into Susie's leg
"Why ar-" Susie began as she removed the Master sword, threw it near Ryan and clutched her leg
"Elementary my dear witless my prolonged exposure to the alien power suit has left my mind different to that of the average human, as an added side affect thanks to your attempt to affect my neurological patterns you have actually increased my I.Q by 2683 points, I now have access to every memory I have ever recorded no matter how abstract... which is just what I need. From memory, well alternate memory, I know that you lack a regenerative factor so I would recommend going to the Kirby Road hospital and getting your mind controlled servants to tend to your wounds, you should then probably wait three days for the damage to truly heal. But don't worry we'll be there in 3 days for the granditer ultimo, and before I ask I give you my word we will show up" Ryan explained
"...Very well" Susie muttered in confusion as Leon picked her up and her band of servants left
"W-" Agent 38 began
"Yes we'll, you have no other choice, and I have a proposition I know you'll say yes to" Ryan interrupted as he retrieved his sword and the blood upon it "Reactivate personality protocol"
"What happened?" Both Samoid 2.0 and I asked in unison as we reactivated
"I'll explain later" Ryan replied "Now let's go, I have a clone to make... and some memories to shift through"
With that Ryan walked away with Agent 38 not too far behind
"What in the world just happened?" Samoid 2.0 asked
"I have absolutely no idea" I replied "But I definitely didn't see it coming"
And so, not entirely sure what he was thinking, Samoid 2.0 followed Ryan to where ever he was going.
To Be Continued... Maybe
Me: And that was the alternate ending. See ya next chapter
Samoid: Ciao
Samoid 2.0: Sayonara
Me: And goodbye
