Year: 2003 Date: August 28th
It's been a year since KIRA got her new body. And boy was she loving it. For a few weeks she had gotten better at driving and even activating her new Attack Mode. She practiced at the warehouse where her body was modified and raced along a homemade track Maverick created. She's also gotten new upgrades ever since then. Her Attack Mode consisted of her body transforming into a sleeker version of a Camaro mixed with a racecar. Special guards would cover her headlights but still allowed her to shine light through. Her spoiler would rise up and flare out a little, and two small air ducts would appear on the hood to cool down her engine just in case she overheated. Plus 4 medium-sized saw blades would appear on both sides of the car and spin rapidly. These blades are attached to the underside in this form and they're made out of high grade steel and are diamond-tipped, meaning they could slice through a tank and through concrete with ease. KIRA can also turbo boost high in the air and land safely without damage. Nikita, Alexis, and Maverick decided to turn the warehouse into their own base of operations, secret of course. No one knew about this place except for them. REX also got a upgrade. Nikita made it to where the little drone could fly at greater speeds, release tiny trackers and fire out an EMP wave. EMP meaning Electromagnetic Pulse. It wasn't as strong as KIRA's EMP but just as effective in stopping electronics. And the trackers he could stick onto either machines or people to follow and track their movements without them noticing. KIRA and REX were happy to get these upgrades.
A month after this, Nikita announced that she wanted to create 3 more A.I's and create a team of Supercar crime fighters. Alexis loved the idea but Maverick wasn't sure about it. How can she be able to make sure that no one finds out about their sentience? Nikita provided the answer. Hire drivers and assign them to each A.I. After talking about it thoroughly, they all agreed on it. But Nikita couldn't create them yet, after they graduate High school is when she'll create them. Thanks to their high credits they'll graduate by next year.
When Nikita showed her parents what she and her friends did they had mixed feelings about it. Marcus was glad that KIRA had a body of her own but wasn't happy about the weapons installed in her. Diana was the same. Once Nikita explained to them about what she was planning to do, they still didn't like it and even her father didn't want her to do it. KIRA spoke up and told them that it's thanks to Nikita that she can follow her Mama's dream and create a world were there are no more crimes or war. After thinking about it they reluctantly allowed her to follow her dream. As parents they were worried but Marcus and Diana trusted their daughter to do the right thing.
Right now they were on their two month summer break from school. Nikita was tinkering with Aibo's software and making him more intelligent. The company in Japan that made the Robot Dogs shut down the AIBO PROJECT due to financial problems. All the people that owned an Aibo were sad and disappointed to hear that. But before the shut down, all the robot doggies received an upgrade over Wi-Fi and they now acted like tiny personal computers. Thanks to that, Aibo was learning to surf the web. Nikita saw Aibo's little tail wag and a happy emoji appeared on his face scanner.
~Bark! ('u')~
She smiled and petted his head. "I'm almost done Aibo. Then you can play with REX and KIRA."
~Bark Woof! (^o^)~
Nikita smiled and continued her task. Once she was done, she closed the opening on his chest as Aibo jumped in her arms and snuggled her. She laughed and gave him a kiss on the head. "Man, you're really hyper today. What's going on cutie?"
~Grr, Bark! xD~ Aibo sent a tiny shock to her arm, simulating a puppy nipping playfully. Then he jumped out of her arms and ran outside to where his fellow A.I friends were. "Ever since he got updated he's been more hyper, I guess that's a good thing." Nikita got up and headed downstairs towards the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of water. As she was leaving, she heard an engine outside and groaned.
"Dammit! I told her not to drive around without me!"
She quickly ran outside to see KIRA in the street drifting. Wait... Drifting? Where'd she learn to do that? REX and Aibo were sitting on the brick fence watching and cheering her on. Nikita was pissed. If someone caught a driverless car speeding and drifting who knows what they'll do.
"KIRA GET IN HERE NOW!"
The A.I did a U-turn and drove up next to her giggling. Before Nikita had a chance to scold her, the driver's side window rolled down and revealed a laughing Diana. Needless to say, Nikita was shocked. "Mom?! My god, what the heck are you doing?!" Her mother kept laughing and got out of the car. "KIRA was showing me how she learned to Drift from watching that Fast and Furious movie. I had fun riding with her!" KIRA giggled more and spoke up. "It was really fun doing that! I'm a natural Tokyo Drifter!"
Nikita face palmed and sighed. "What if the neighbors saw you doing that and ended up calling the cops?"
"They couldn't do nothing if they even tried." Said KIRA. "And besides, it's still early and everyone is at work." Diana grinned and patted KIRA's side door. "I'm sorry Nikita. I never knew how much fun Camaros could be!"
"Careful mom, you'll give her an ego."
The A.I scoffed and pretended to be offended. "Why Mama! How dare you accuse moi of having an Ego? I say if I had a white glove I'd smack thee!"
The 16yr old chuckled and tapped KIRA's window. "Okay, very funny. But still be careful next time, ok?"
"Hehe! I will. Hey can we go downtown for a drive? Please?"
"Um, sure. But why?" Nikita asked.
"There's an old car show I wanna go to. I've never seen old model vehicles before so please with Sugary Antifreeze on top?" REX climbed in the passenger seat, he was ready to go out again. "Well, Alright. It'd be nice to see some I guess. Mom you wanna come?" Diana shook her head and picked up Aibo, who nuzzled her cheek. "No, it's alright. I'm planning on relaxing today. This is my week off from work." Nikita shrugged and got inside. "Okay then. If Dad comes back from work tell him we'll be back soon." "I will honey. Have fun you two!" Her mother waved at them as they drove off down the street. Aibo pulled up a picture of dogs running on his face scanner and typed in a question. Diana read it aloud. "Can we watch the Documentary on Dogs?" She smiled and petted the little robot and went inside. "Oh of course we can cutie." Aibo barked happily and snuggled into her more. ~Ruff! (^w^)~ She sat down and turned on the TV to the National Geographic channel when she noticed a letter on the table. She picked it up and saw that it came from Mensa Academy.
"Okay... What do they want?" Diana opened the letter and read it. She frowned a little after she read it. "Nikita isn't going to like this..."
Meanwhile Nikita was driving down Downtown L.A. REX was looking out the window like always and pointing out what he sees. She was curious as to why KIRA had an interest in seeing old-fashioned cars. "Hey KIRA? Why the sudden interest in old cars?"
"Well, They're like the Grandmas and Grandpas of modern vehicles today. Plus I've never seen any up close. It'd be fun to see them!"
She smiled a little. "How would you feel seeing a old model Camaro?"
KIRA giggled. "I'd say 'Hi Grandpa Cammy! I'm the new model Camaro!"
This time Nikita laughed. "Um, KIRA? Old cars like those don't have A.I's. The technology for that didn't exist back then." This was something KIRA didn't know, she thought all cars were the same like her, REX and Aibo. She was silent for a few minutes before she spoke. "So they don't have A.I's like me, REX and Aibo?"
"Nope. They're too old to have them. What you thought that all cars, trucks and other vehicles were like you?" KIRA was saddened by that fact and remained quiet. Nikita noticed this and realized that the A.I really didn't know about how other cars worked. Once she had gotten her body she went through training out on the warehouse tracks, so she didn't have time to see if other cars had A.I's like her or not. "Oh damn... I'm sorry KIRA... I thought you knew."
"Oh, it's okay Nikita. I somewhat knew we were the only ones. Your parent's cars are outdated so I knew they couldn't talk. I just thought every car was the same... like me." Nikita felt so dumb at that moment. But it fascinated her to know that her creation wanted other A.I.'s to talk too. "KIRA? You want to speak to more like yourself?"
"Yeah, REX and Aibo are cool but I want to interface with more A.I's. The computers I've talked to have no emotion. They're like mindless drones."
"Hey! REX is not mindless! ...Whatever dat means."
"No offence REX." she said with laughter in her voice. Nikita was really impressed. KIRA wanted some other form of contact. She smirked. "Hey KIRA? After I graduate from school next year I'm planning on creating more A.I's. So by then you'll have some new friends."
"Really? Cool! Hey, what kind of A.I's will they be? Will they have the same type of body like I do?"
"Haha! Be patent grasshopper. You'll find out soon."
She groaned and sped up a little more, reaching 57mph. "Oh come on! I need info!"
"And you'll get it soon." Nikita said. KIRA was learning more and more each day. She just couldn't believe it took the A.I this long to notice that they were the only ones in existence at the moment. Well she's only 3 years old so she's still learning about her environment. REX climbed into her lap and looked out the driver's side window. "Careful no one sees you REX." "I always careful Mama. Hey, where's Alexis and Maverick? I hadn't heard from them all day." REX asked.
"Me either... I hope they're okay." Said KIRA.
Nikita suddenly blushed a little and didn't want to answer. KIRA and REX noticed this sudden reaction. "Nikita? Are you alright? Your body tempiture rose a few degrees."
"Oh, Um, I'm fine."
"You sure Mama? Your face is reds."
"Yes I'm fine. As for your question, Those two are... on a date." she said. KIRA snickered and REX tilted his head. The little drone didn't get it but she did. "Aw! I hope they have fun then."
"KIRA what's a date? In my databanks it's a type of fruit. Are they eating fruits?"
"I'll tell you when you're a bit older REX. Hehehe..."
Nikita was glad the little drone didn't know what a true date was. "I hope those two behave themselves. Yeesh!" They continued down the freeway to the old car show while they talked about different things.
...
Maverick was at Alexis's house in the living room on his cell phone. Her parents and older brother were out so both of them were alone together. Alexis was in her room planning a surprise for him but he didn't know what. Not that he cared at the moment. He was on the phone talking to Rick, one of the stealth members of BlackHawk about Project SHADOW. By the tone of his voice, he wasn't happy.
"Dammit Rick! What do you mean they're not finished with it yet? I gave them a exact copy of KIRA's and REX's coding. They should've been done with it by now!"
[I'm sorry Maverick. I blame your stupid father! He came THIS close to finding out and to be honest it's pissing me off. I'll be so glad when he retires next year and you take over. I can't stand this.]
"He doesn't know about what we're doing to XLR8 does he?"
[No. He doesn't. He doesn't even know about SHADOW and Hydra either. We've already reprogrammed the Fighter Jet and the Tank by the way.]
Maverick chuckled a little. "Good. Make sure you keep it that way. Heh, Too bad Dad scrapped the Hydra, It's working well for us."
Rick laughed on the other line. [It sure is. I can see his face when we tell him what we're planning to do. And he can't do anything about it.]
"Damn right he can't." Maverick heard something from upstairs and whispered in his phone. "Hey, I gotta go. I'll call you in a few hours to check up on the project." He hung up the phone and put it in his pocket. He went upstairs to Alexis's room and smelled blueberry perfume. He smirked and peeked in the door. He saw Alexis wearing a thong and a very revealing bra. He entered her room and hugged her from behind. She chuckled and leaned into his embrace. "Rikki I told you not to come in until I'm done." "Sorry sexy, Couldn't help it. Where did you get this lovely outfit?" He ran his hands down her chest to her thighs, making her giggle a bit. "I bought it at Adam and Eve. Com. My parents don't know I have this, if they did they'd freak."
"Well, it looks good on you little Manx." He started kissing her neck which was her tickle spot. Alexis laughed and gently pushed him on her bed. "Hang on, I have a treat for you." She put a blindfold on him and he frowned. "Aww, come on Alexis. I want to see what you're doing."
"And you will. Just relax for a minute."
Maverick didn't like how he was blindfolded, but he trusted his girlfriend so he tried to relax a little. He felt his shirt being unbuttoned and pulled off of him. He also felt his pants and boxers being pulled off of him. He smirked as he felt her hands on his chest this time. The way they felt made him shudder. "Enjoying yourself my girl?" Alexis chuckled and kept rubbing her hands along his chest, going down to his slowly hardening erection. "I sure am cutie." She smirked and started to fondle his erection, which made him gasp. "Ooh damn girl... Don't tease me now." He heard snickering and felt something tight, but not too tight, go around his erection. He quickly figured out what it was that was on him, and soon as he did Alexis kissed him.
"Little Manx? Why is there a cock ring on me?"
"Because."
"Because what?"
"Because I like to tease ya."
The girl started snickering and was about to kiss him again when he ripped the blindfold off and suddenly flipped her on her back, he grinned as he stared into her blue eyes. "Big mistake doing that Little Manx..." He kissed her deeply and fondled her breasts. Alexis moaned into the kiss and slapped his behind. Maverick chuckled and broke the kiss to take the cock ring off, but he couldn't as it was on there tight. "Ugh! Stupid thing!" Alexis laughed at how frustrated he was getting so she put her hand on his. "Impatent aren't we? Here, let me." She carefully slid the ring off and threw it on the floor, then she spread her legs apart and winked at him. Maverick grinned and got on top of her. This was the first time they decided to go all the way and he was nervous, but didn't show it. Alexis looked like a goddess to him. He fell in love with her ever since he accidently grabbed her bikini top at the pool that day. Since then they've been dating and holding back on their growing urges for each other. Now after talking about it, they decided to have their special moment together. In other words, sex. Alexis thrusted her hips up and smirked at him. "I'm ready Maverick..."
"Good, just a warning though: I might be rough."
"I don't mind. I like it rough."
He chuckled and slowly but swiftly entered into her. When he did he saw her expression and got worried that he accidently hurt her. "Alexis you alright?" She didn't answer for a few minutes and nodded. "Y-yeah... Damn you're big." "All the more to love you with. Hehe."
*AN: Yeah, not gonna get into any more details about their little sex encounter. This story is rated T ya know.*
For the next hour Alexis and Maverick enjoyed their "naughty time" together. Let's just say after they lost their virginity they felt like they were on cloud nine. Right now they were still in bed holding each other on the verge of falling asleep. Maverick was lazily playing with Alexis's hair as he sighed.
"Something wrong hun?" she asked.
"No, nothing's wrong. I'm just happy is all."
She smiled and gently kissed his chest. "I have a feeling I know why."
"Heh. Of course you do my little Manx."
"Hey Maverick?" Alexis looked up at him. "I'm curious. Why do you call me that?"
"Manx?" He thought for a moment and shrugged. "You remind me of a mischivous troublemaking cat. Um, if you want me to stop calling you that it's fine."
"Oh no. It's alright. I like being called a mischivous troublemaking pussy."
"And boy did it feel good too." Both laughed at the dirty joke as she hit him with a stuffed doll. They enjoyed each other's company for 30 minutes more when Maverick's cell phone rang. He groaned and nuzzled his girlfriend's hair. "Man... I don't want to answer that..."
"Then don't. Let it go to voicemail." She hugged his arm and yawned. But the phone rang 2 more times before he got up to answer it. What he didn't expect was Rick on the other line.
"Rick, I'm a little busy here... What is it?" He headed in Alexis's bathroom so she wouldn't overhear.
[Bad news... Your father caught us and demanded we shut down Project S.H.A.D.O.W.]
That got his attention. "He did what?! How the hell did you guys let him find out?!"
[He saw us tampering with Hydra's A.I system and saw the car plus XLR8... We thought we had everything guarded! He's here yelling at Bruce and the rest of the members. What can we do now?]
Maverick thought for a second and came up with an idea. One that he'll make sure won't go wrong. He decided to speak in Russian, since that's his native language, over the phone. Alexis heard him in her bathroom and got worried. He sounded upset and mentioned something called S.H.A.D.O.W. Maverick stopped speaking Russian and spoke harshly over the phone.
"You got that Rick? I don't want him interfering with this! Make sure the bastard knows that!"
Rick chuckled deviously over the other line. [Hehe... Understood sir. He'll regret this...]
"I'll be there in 20 minutes. Don't let him do anything." He hung up the phone and got out the bathroom. He got dressed quickly as Alexis stared at him. She understood Russian but didn't tell him that she overheard him. She pretended not to notice when he finished getting dressed. "Rikki? Is something wrong?"
"Something happened back at base. I got to go." He kissed her and walked out the room. Alexis put on her robe and ran after him before he got to the front door. "Wait! What happened at the Military base? It's not anything bad is it?"
"It's nothing you need to concern yourself with Manx." He said a little too harshly. He looked at her and saw a worried expression on her face. He smiled and assured her that nothing was wrong. "Alexis I'll deal with it. Don't worry too much about it. I'll see you later."
"Okay then... See you." She watched him exit the house and get on his motorcycle. He put on his helmet and sped off towards the Athena Military Base. Alexis walked back upstairs and sighed. Whatever it was, she had a bad feeling about it. (Maverick never spoke harshly like that before... I hope nothing's wrong...) She started to clean up her room and got in the shower. She didn't understand, what was Project S.H.A.D.O.W? And why was it so important to keep his father away from it? After her shower she'll call Nikita and ask her about it.
...
Nikita, KIRA, and REX were at the old car show looking at the old-model cars from the 20's all the way to the 80's. REX disguised himself as a toy robot so he could look around too. KIRA activated her silent mode and crept inch by inch around the cars. Being careful not to be seen by the other people there. "Wow... Just think they were created over 100 years ago..." Nikita chuckled and whispered in her watch, which doubled as a comlink. It was a prototype she made so she could talk to her car from far away. "Like the cars KIRA?"
"Yeah. They're all restored to their natural luster and they look amazing! Ohhh! If only they could talk I'd ask them all about how life was back then!"
Nikita smiled and was glad the A.I was enjoying herself. She looked around some more when her cellphone rang. She answered it and it was Alexis on the other line. "Hey Alex. What's up?"
[Can I talk to you about something real quick?]
"If this is about you losing your virginity, I really don't want to hear it."
Nikita heard her sigh loudly over the line. [No you dope! It's about Maverick. He got a call from the army base and he sounded pissed. He spoke in Russian and I overheard some of it. I think something's gonna happen soon.]
She frowned and spoke a little quietly on the phone. "Really? What did you hear him say?"
[Listen, I can't say over the phone. Can you come by my house? I'll tell you what I heard. It's just so strange...]
"On my way." She hung up and turned to walk out of the parking lot where the Car Show was being held. "So... Little Maverick is keeping secrets huh?" She raised her comlink to her mouth and whispered into it. "KIRA, we got to go now. Alexis called and told me to come over her place."
"Aww!" KIRA didn't want to leave and voiced her detest. "We've only been here for an hour! What she want anyways?!"
"Listen I'll take you to the next car show, now get over here. Alexis sounded worried and she never heard her speak like that before."
"Something wrong with Alexis? On my way!"
A few minutes later she pulled up by Nikita and opened her door. Nikita got in and quickly drove off towards her friend's place. REX undid his disguise and looked at his creator. "Mama why we leave? They were gonna show an old trolley car I wanna see." "We can see it next time REX. Alexis asked me to come over her place. She sounded urgent."
"Did she say why she wanted to see you?" KIRA asked.
"Something about Maverick receiving a call that got him upset. We'll see once we get there."
"Maverick upsets? REX never seen him get mads before."
"Yeah and I never heard of him keeping secrets either." Nikita sped on the highway and furrowed her eyebrows. True Maverick was her friend but she didn't trust him. Whatever Alexis has to say about him better not be bad news.
...
Nikita got to Alexis's house and got out of the car. Since no one was around REX was able to fly up to the door and ring the doorbell. Nikita stood beside the drone as Alexis opened it. "Hey guys… Come in." REX and Nikita walked in and shut the door. KIRA listened in through the comlink so she could hear what Alexis wanted to talk about. The girls and drone walked upstairs to her room, REX landed on the bed while Nikita sat in a chair. The drone sniffed the bed and tilted his head.
"Alexis? Did you and Maverick mate already?"
Alexis blushed as KIRA burst out laughing on the comlink. Nikita rolled her eyes. "That's why I didn't sit on the bed…." The girl sighed and petted his head. "Now's not the time boy." REX shrugged and laid on a giant teddy bear that was sitting on the bed. "Alright Alex, what's going on with Maverick?" Nikita asked. Alexis sat on the bed and looked at her. "Well, after our time together… His phone rang and when he answered it his expression changed. I've never seen him sound and act like that before…"
"How did he act on the phone?"
"He was pissed. And cursing in Russian. I couldn't understand much, but I overheard him say something about his father telling the BlackHawk members to cancel Project S.H.A.D.O.W."
"Project S.H.A.D.O.W?" Nikita didn't like the sound of that. "What exactly is that?"
"Sounds like something on the Matrix." KIRA said over the comlink.
"I don't know. He also mentioned XLR8 and something called Hydra. I think Maverick and those BlackHawk guys were working on something in secret. I pretended to not overhear and asked him what's wrong. But he spoke to me in a harsh tone."
"So he's hiding something and didn't want anyone to find out." Said Nikita. "His dad found out and was obviously pissed off about it. What I don't get is why he's keeping it a secret in the first place." Alexis nodded and sighed. She was worried about Maverick and who could blame her? He's her boyfriend and she loved him. "Hey, this was the first time he spoke to you like that?" "Yeah. But he assured me that everything will be fine, and then just took off." REX chirped and climbed in Alexis's lap. "REX is curious about Project S.H.A.D.O.W. I wanna know what it is." "I'd like to know that too." Nikita crossed her arms and blew her bangs out of her face. "Alexis. You know how I don't trust him with certain things right?"
"Yeah."
"Something in my gut tells me that he shouldn't be trusted at all."
Alexis rolled her eyes. "Damn Nikki… Maverick's your friend, and my Boyfriend. What is it about him that you don't trust?" Nikita stared at her and frowned. "When I have an answer, I'll let you know." Alexis shook her head lightly and threw a stuffed doll at her, she smiled a little and yawned. "Well, I don't blame ya then. You've always been a serious person." "Hehe, of course I've have. You know how I am Alex." She chuckled and raised her comlink to speak to KIRA. "Hey KIRA? Mind doing me a favor?"
"Sure! What up?"
"Find out everything you can on BlackHawk. I want to know who they really are."
"Roger Dodger! I'm on it!" KIRA Began to analyze what and who the team members were. While she was doing that, Nikita smiled as Alexis laughed. "Roger Dodger? She's been watching too many TV shows."
"I blame my mom for introducing her to TV. Do you know she loves Pokémon?"
"Really? Now she and my brother have something in common." Both girls laughed and REX looked at them. He didn't understand why they were laughing so he just shrugged it off as something human related. A few minutes later everyone heard two beeps from Nikita's comlink. "Got something KIRA?"
"Um… Yeah… It's a something all right."
"Well? What did you find?" she asked. KIRA was hesitant to answer and was unsure herself of what she found. All she knows is that everyone won't look at Maverick the same again. "Girls? You won't like what I found…" Alexis sat next to Nikita and spoke in the comlink. "What is it KIRA?"
"Um... It's true BlackHawk is the best stealth team the Military has. Except they're planning a revolt."
Alexis and Nikita looked at each other then back at the comlink. "And get this, Maverick's involed too."
The girls couldn't believe what they were hearing. They're going to betray the Miltary and Maverick is helping them? How is that possible? Nikita didn't like the sound of this and neither did Alexis. "Wait a minute! Why would he betray his own father and help them turn against them? KIRA you've better not be lying!"
"HEY! I never tell lies! I warned you that you wouldn't like it!" KIRA was irratated that her friend accused her of lying. "Alex stop. She's programmed not to lie unless I tell her too. Believe me she's telling the truth..."
"Oh... Sorry KIRA... I just can't believe this..." said Alexis.
"It's okay. Um, you guys wanna hear what else I found?" Nikita told her to continue and KIRA revealed some startling information. "Not only are they planning to overthrow the Athena Branch, they took and reprogrammed the fighter jet XLR8 and their tank Hydra. Plus..."
"Go on. Tell us what else." Nikita was not liking this at all and it showed on her face. REX was listening in and felt the anger eminating from her, which made him a little angry. Since he showed his teeth and growled a little. "I managed to hack into BlackHawk's base... The jet and the Tank aren't the only A.I's... There's another one called the Stealth Hyper Automated Drone Obliteration War-machine. Code name; SHADOW." Alexis gasped and stuttered a little. "T-That's what Rikki was talking about! Something called SHADOW!"
"Maverick was the one that created it... Hm? Hang on a second." KIRA was still hacking into their private files when she came across something that resembled her and REX's data. When she scanned the files, she got upset. "WHAT THE HECK?!"
"What happened?" Nikita asked.
"That no good... TRIATOR! SHADOW's data is copied from mine and REX's! Only way that could've happened is-"
"Is if he scanned your and REX's bodies just to aquire the data for PRISM..." Nikita stood up and punched the wall. She was beyond pissed off now. "That son of a bitch! I knew I couldn't trust him right from the fucking start! Now he has a fucking copy of their data and PRISM!" She glanced at Alexis and grinded her teeth. "And you told me to trust the bastard... 'Oh he's our friend now, tell him about it!' " The blond-haired girl had tears in her eyes as she shook her head. "I-I didn't know that he... Nikita how was I sussposed to know?! I thought he could be trusted since he's-"
"Don't you dare say it." Nikita interrupted her. "And to think, I was starting to consider him a friend... That bastard wanted us to finish up KIRA's body just so he could copy the data! Not only that, he somehow copied REX's without my knowlodge! Alexis you didn't share with him anything did you!?" "N-no I didn't! Nikita I'm your friend, I could never do that!" At this point Nikita was yelling at her. REX and KIRA were surprised to hear their creator blow up at her friend like this. REX held his tail and whimpered, he was scared and didn't like the yelling. "OH LIKE I BELIEVE YOU! HE PROBABLY FUCKED YOU JUST SO HE COULD GET INFORMATION ABOUT PRISM OUT OF YOU! LISTEN HE CAN'T BE TRUSTED AND HE'S CERTANTLY NOT MY DAMN FRIEND ANYMORE! ONCE I SEE THAT LYING, SNEAKING BITCH I'LL KICK HIS ASS!" She panted from screaming at her and closed her eyes. When she opened them She saw that her friend was on the verge of crying and calmed down a little. She put her hand on her shoulder and sighed. "Look... I'm sorry Alex... I...ugh. I don't know what to think about this anymore..." Nikita felt Alexis hug her tight and start crying. "I-it's alright... I should've known about him but..." She let go and wiped her eyes. "Nikki... I love him and I don't know what to do..." "I know you do. But I have an idea. KIRA and REX you listen too. All of you do not mention to him about what we found out." Alexis nodded as did REX. KIRA voiced her understanding through the comlink. "Roger that. Mama do you have a plan?"
"Yeah. Looks like I'm gonna have to create the other three A.I's early..."
REX snarled loudly, making the girls look at him. They saw his teeth bared and his wings flared out. He was upset after hearing everything Maverick was doing.
"I'M MAD AS A BAT! REX THOUGHT MAVERICK WAS A FRIEND! BUT HE NO FRIEND AT ALL! HE MADE MAMA MAD AND ALEXIS CRY! REX WILL BITE HIM!"
Seeing the little drone act like that and say those things caused the girls to smile. "I don't blame you REX. But remember what I said, pretend that you don't know anything."
"I promise Mama. Grr..."
Alexis sat on the bed and sighed heavily. To think Maverick was involved in a plot to overthrow the Military. And he created a A.I for himself. Who knows what else he's going to do now? "Hey... If Maverick is planning all this, then why did he make KIRA's weapons?" Nikita thought for a moment and spoke in the comlink. "KIRA do a systems check on yourself." The A.I did a systems check and everything came up good. "Everythings okay. I'm not experiancing any malfuntions or abnormalities." "Oh good. Well to answer that I think he did it just so he can copy how they're connected. He created that SHADOW A.I. so why not? He had no need to tamper with KIRA's weapons."
"I see... Ugh, I'm a fool to fall in love with him."
"No your not. You got bit by the Love Bug so it's to be expected."
"What does a Volkswagon Beetle got to do with anything?" KIRA asked.
"I think it's a... um... a saying meaning love at first sight." Said REX.
Nikita looked at the drone and raised an eyebrow. "How do you know that?"
REX wagged his tail. "REX heard it on the Soap Opera show!" She chuckled and petted him. "Mom and her Soaps. Hey Alexis, I'm gonna leave for home and design the A.I's. Call me if anything happens."
"Sure, I will."
REX jumped on Nikita's shoulder and headed out the door, but before she left she turned and looked at her friend who was still sitting on the bed. "Alexis I'd forget about him if I were you. I hate to say this but he might break your heart." She left the room and closed the door behind her. Alexis held a pillow close to her and closed her eyes. She needed to do alot of thinking. (Easier said than done...)
Nikita got inside the car and drove off towards home. REX reviewed everything that he found out and started growling again. She petted him and he calmed down. The little drone was upset. KIRA couldn't blame him. She herself was unsure on what to do with this new info. Why did Maverick create SHADOW and take over XLR8 and Hydra? And to what other purpsoe then to revolt? KIRA noticed that they were going 60mph in a 55mph lane on the highway. "Nikita? You're going too fast. A cop might catch us." "Oh, sorry." She slowed down a little and suddenly hit the steering wheel out of frustration. Good thing KIRA barely felt it. "You okay Mama?"
"I will be once we find out what that prick is up to."
"Oh. How are you going to get the bodies for the other A.I's?"
"That won't be a problem. That school I went to when I was younger provides me with money since my I.Q is high."
"You mean Mensa Academy?"
"Yup. I'll use some of it to get the cars I need."
"Okay then... Are you mad about what Maverick is doing?"
She sighed and looked at the voice moduator. "Yeah... I'm also a little saddened by the fact he stole my technology to create his own A.I. He betrayed my trust in him so he's not my friend anymore... Come to think of it, he never was all the years I've known him."
"I'm sorry Mama."
"Hey, no need to aplogize KIRA. We all feel a little down right now." Nikita kept driving and couldn't help but think about Maverick's involvement with BlackHawk. Why was he doing all of this anyway? She remembered back when they were kids, he said to her that he wanted to create his own robot one day. To her he seemed like a shy wimpy kid who loved robots. Deep down inside she also knew something wasn't right about him, but didn't know what. Her thoughts were interrupted when her cellphone rang. Since she was driving KIRA answered it for her. "Hello! Who is calling?"
"KIRA you know who! Haha! It's Diana. Is Nikita there?"
"Hey mom. I'm here. Whats up?"
"I recevied a letter from Mensa Academy. They want you to take another I.Q. test."
"What? Mom I took that test when I was five! I thought that was a one time thing."
"Well they want you to take another one or else they'll stop your money from going through. I called them about this and they said it's nessacary to prove your intellegence. And you have to take it or else they'll stop your funding in your bank account. I was mad when I heard them say that!"
Nikita rolled her eyes. "Fine, I'll take the stupid test. When do I have to take it?"
"Tomorrow at 9:30am. The princible was adamant about it. Sweetie I know that you're the smartest girl in my books and that you can ace it."
"Yeah..." (Like I have time to do this crap.) "I'm on my way home so I'll see you later."
"Okay! See you soon honey!" KIRA hung up the phone and asked a question. "I don't get it, in my databanks Mensa Academy only requires a person to take a test once. So why are they forcing you to take another one?" "I don't know KIRA. This is really irratating." She wanted to hurry and create the other A.I's but that has to wait until the day after tomorrow.
...
At BlackHawk's base, the members were packing up their equipment in huge trucks and getting ready to leave. Maverick held a gun to his father's head and watched the stealth group pack up. General Bardock Deunan glared at his son who was grinning evily.
"Maverick why are you doing this? All I wanted was the best for you and for you to take over when I'm done. This plan of yours isn't going to work."
"Oh shut up. I never wanted to take over. Once I copied the data Nikita created I knew I'd be able to follow my own dreams."
"Creating a robotic army to cause havoc and distruction is a madman's dream! Once your friend finds out she'll be disapponted in you like I am!"
Maverick laughed and poked Bardock's head with the gun. "Who the fuck cares if she does? I'm planning on forcing her to reveal to me how to create PRISM so I can use it for myself. You know father, I've always wanted to create robots for war. And with this, I can. Hey, you know that war that's been going on between America and Afganistan for... what? 4 years now? Thanks to the stupid Presidant we're not even making a fucking dent in winning. With my army of A.I's we'll be able to finally win by killing off the entire fucking country."
Bardock could not believe what he was hearing. He never knew how much his son was twisted in the head. "Son you're mad! If you do that you'll cause World War 3 and endanger everyone! I will not allow this madness to continue anymore!"
"Madness? Father please I'm completly sane. Your mad for trying to stop this project."
"What about your family son? And your girlfriend Alexis? I feel so sorry about that girl once she realizes what kind of man you are." Maverick grinned and cracked his neck. "True, I love that little Manx. And she'll probably support my decision too."
Bardock glared at him. "Really? Well think about this!" Being bold, he slapped the gun out of his son's hand and then punched him in the face. Father and Son struggled on the ground when He then grabbed a hold on his arms and held them behind his back. But before he could land another punch, Rick came up from behind and knocked him unconcious with a blow to the head. Maverick shoved his father off of him and rubbed his jaw. "Damn old man... Let's hurry up and get out of here..."
"Right. Hey, what about your mother and little sister?"
He scoffed. "They can handle themselves. I could care less about them. Let's go." He stared at his unconcious father laying on the ground and shook his head in disgust. Then he got on his motorcycle and sped off towards a secret place he bought with funds out of the Military's bank account. Once they settled in he was going to create his army. But first he needed more of the program Nikita created. He called one of his men through his helmet. "Garret? Did you arrange it yet?"
[Sure did. My friend at Mensa Academy is the Principle over there. He'll keep her busy while we hack into that drone of hers.]
"Good. Call me when your scientists have a copy of it." He hung up the phone and followed behind one of the trucks carring his precious cargo. He knew the risks he was taking betraying the Athena Military, but it won't matter once he begins manufacturing the A.I's. "Heh, even that prick of a President will have a run for his money."
...
~August 29, 2003~
Nikita groaned. She didn't want to be here for that dumb test but she had to take it or else they'll stop her funding. Which didn't make any sense to her. (Must be some new rule they made... Ugh, might as well get this over with.) "Wish me luck guys." She stepped out of her car and looked up at the huge building in front of her. Mensa Academy was full of snobs and smart-ass people. This was the place where she first met Alexis. She smiled at the thought. She was Nikita's true friend out of all the so called friends that hung out with them back then. She felt a light shove and turned around to see KIRA's scanner moving back and forth in a lazy like fashion. She whispered to her words of encouragement. "Hey, I know you'll ace it. Just like Diana said. Go get'em!" REX poked his head out the window and grinned. He whispered when he spoke. "Yeah, go get that tests Mama!" Nikita smiled and whispered a thank you before she walked up the steps of the private insitution. She walked down the hallway and looked around. It's been four years since she last stepped foot in this place. She reached the Principle's office and knocked on the door. A man in is late 30's opened the door and smiled widely at her. "Miss Nikita Avalon! It's been years since we seen each other!"
Nikita smiled a little. "It sure has Mr. Martin. I see nothing has changed other than the fact you wrote that letter to me. Now what's this all about?"
Mr. Martin chuckled lightly and invited her in his office. She sat next to a desk and watched as he sat in his office chair. "Listen, I'm sorry to do this on short notice, but our computers got a terrible virus thanks to one of our students trying out a new virus buster program he invented, and because of that all of our files on our top students got erased. That is why I mailed that letter. So we can record your I.Q scores again."
"Ohh. I see now. That explains everything. I'll take the test now sir. I'm in a bit of a hurry to start on my project."
Mr. Martin nodded and gave her the I.Q Test pamplet. It was only three pages long and took a total of 15 to 20 minutes to finish. "May I ask what project you're working on?"
"Sorry sir. It's a secret." She smirked and he chuckled. "Ah, I remember you saying that before. Well, if you will look at the test you'll see that it's the same since last time. I'll be timing you of course. You may begin now Miss." She nodded and took out a No.2 Pencil to start on her test. Nikita grinned as she went through the questions like it was nothing. [Heh, too easy. He should've gave me harder questions than this.] 12 minutes later she was finished and handed Mr. Martin the paper. "I'm done. Can I leave now? Like I said I'm in a hurry."
"Wow that was fast. Didn't expect no less from our top student! Haha. And sure you can now." Nikita walked to the door as he spoke up. "It was nice to see you again Nikita! Hey, we're having our annual gala next week. You should come by."
"Um... Thanks Mr. Martin. Maybe I'll come by." She left the room and shut the door behind her. Mr. Marcus sighed heavily and looked at the test paper when his voice changed to a deeper tone. "Damn... Never expected for her to finish that fast. I hope my boy outside got what he needed..." He put the paper in the shredder and walked to a closet in the corner of the office. When he opened it a man identical to him was gagged and tied up. He looked at the other man in fear as he tried to speak with the cloth in his mouth. Mr. Martin smirked and pulled off the mask he was wearing and shook his head. This person was in his late 20's and had bleach blond hair and reddish brown eyes. He untied the real Principle and ungagged him. "Now listen here Martin. You didn't see or hear anything. Because if you did, everyone in this school would know about the money landering you've been doing lately. And they won't be happy. Ya got me bro?" The older man nodded quickly and whimpered a little. The fake grinned and patted his cheek before he left out the office window. Mr. Martin wanted to call the cops, but doing so would put him in prison for stealing school funds. So he tried to pretend that what just happened didn't happen. Outside a man was walking around the Purple striped Camaro admiring it. But what he was really doing was using a hidden scanner wand in his pocket to scan the car and the sleeping drone inside. It was copying and analyzing the PRISM data inside both A.I's. He noticed the girl walking down the stairs and pretended to just admire the car.
"Damn... Wish I had a beauty like this." The man whistled as Nikita walked up and touched the door handle, which unlocked thanks to KIRA. She looked at the man and he smiled at her. "This your car miss?"
"Yeah. Why?"
"Oh nothing. It's a beautiful Camaro. Mind if I take a peek under the hood?"
"Sorry, I don't let random strangers 'take a peek' in my car." Nikita said a little rudely. She got in and drove off the school grounds. The man watched her drive away and chuckled. "Jeez, I was only being half-serious..." He saw his friend, the man with Bleach-blond hair run up to him. "You got the data Barry?" Barry pulled out the scanner and saw rainbow colored data flowing around on screen. "Yeah I did Jack. So this is what the boss wanted huh?"
"That's right man. Let's hurry back to the base." The two got inside a black car and left the campus grounds.
On their way home, REX was taking a power-nap in the passenger seat as KIRA giggled at what the man said about her. "I am a real beauty aren't I?" Nikita rolled her eyes and patted the dash. "Don't get an ego girl." "I shan't ever hath an ego! Where is my white glove at? I need to smack thee again!" The A.I and Nikita laughed as they drove down the freeway.
