Chapter 8: The Egg Carrier Zone:
Meanwhile, somewhere in a solitary confinement room deep within a prison; a young boy with black hair hanging down to his eyes, wearing black pants and a white hospital gown was being carried by a couple of Content Control moderators.
When the moderators reached the unlocked door to shove the boy inside the room, one moderator named Toxoit grabbed a key from his pocket, inserted it in the keyhole and turned the knob to open the locked cell door.
"Hey Vic!!! Enjoy your permanent stay here in quarantine. You piece of sh*t!" Shouted Toxoit as he laughed and threw Vic into the room as he walked away and laughed before shutting the doors.
Once the doors were locked. Vic slowly crawled to his knees and looked around to assess his surroundings. It was a plain white room with nothing but padding on the walls, the floor and the ceiling.
Frightened, and fearing for his life, the boy slowly crawls into a corner before bending over to grab his ankles. He then rocks back and forth as paranoia starts to set in.
He looks around left and right to make sure that no one is playing mind games with him. Vic can clearly tell he was in a mad house.
Vic then lies down on his side and reaches for something in his pocket. The object he reaches for is small, plastic and square shaped. The object reveals itself to be a floppy disk.
Vic picked up the floppy disk and looked down towards it. This gave Vic a tear of joy in his eye. "It's a good thing I still have these floppy disks with me. Without them, I may not be able to escape this hell hole." Vic said as he looks left and right once again to make sure no one else was in the room.
"At least those b*s won't realize how heavily armed I truly am." Specifically, Vic then stared at the text printed on the floppy disk which read 'Gruel.exe' in Arial font. It was the Gruel worm which is capable of hanging any computer and reverse engineering the system's administrator privileges to perpetrators.
As Vic continued to marvel over the disk he was holding, he slowly began to remember the very first time he ever found the floppy disks when his father was working at the shop. "Still, I cannot believe I found these floppy disks all those years ago. I remembered when I ransacked my father's safe just to find these... 'abominations.'"
14 years ago, somewhere inside a mansion located in the United Los Of Roflica; a couple of police officers were in a luxurious living room carrying a black adult sized body bag out of the house and into the ambulance that was waiting outside. Inside the body bag was a dead body inside.
And sitting by the living room, watching this all unfold was young Vic; 14 years old. And this was the very first time in his entire life where he met face to face with the police. What poor Vic failed to realize was that the body stuffed inside the bag was in fact his father who was found dead hours ago because of a drug overdose.
As the officers carried his deceased father out of the house and into the ambulance; ready to be transported into the morgue, the police chief notices Vic and walked towards him, ready to give him the gritty truth. Just before the police chief can open his mouth, Vic hops out of the sofa and walks towards the officer.
"Vic Dos Kuroslov?" The chief asked the young boy,
Scared to even open his mouth, the young boy stutters, "Y-y-yes officer, it's m-m-me."
The police chief then placed his hand onto the boy's shoulder and comforted him. "I would like to apologize to you son; as well as offer my condolences during this terrible tragedy."
As the chief comforted the young boy, another man approached the boy with a bunch of papers in his hand. The man wore a black and white tuxedo, black pants and had blonde hair. His attitude was very posh as he began to speak to young Vic.
"Mister Vic Dos Kurolsov?" The second man asked the boy.
"Yes sir... it's me." Vic responded looking up at the second adult standing in front of him.
The man holding the papers quickly cleared his throat and then proceeded to speak. "As the executive lawyer and shareholder of Mister Yusev Dos Kuroslov's estate, I have been empowered to read to you, his last will and testament."
The chief then picks up young Vic and sits him back on the sofa and then places his hand onto the boy's shoulder, as the lawyer begins to read his father's will.
"Very well sir. Please proceed." Vic responded.
"If we are all seated, I shall proceed with the reading." The lawyer spoke up as he began to read the first page of the papers he was carrying. "I, Mister Yusev Dos Kuroslov. Being of sound, mind and body do hereby divide my considerable estate as follows. To my son Victor Vic Dos Kuroslov... A young boy whom I cared for since the last 14 years of my life. To Vic Kuroslov, I leave behind a safety deposit box located within my safe; as well as some books and devices, which are to be used for cyber security purposes only."
As the lawyer concluded the reading of his fathers' will, the police chief turned to Void and said to him, "Look mister Vic. Forgive me in advance, but as far as cyber security is concerned; if your father is in possession of malware, you have to understand that under orders from both Macrosoft Corporation and the United Anti-Virus movement, we have the authority to seize all illegal goods. Even if they were bequiffed to you; by your father's last will and testament."
Vic slowly bowed his head in sadness and responded, "...Thank you officer."
As both the officer and the lawyer slowly left the room. Vic sat on the sofa for a good minute to process what just happened.
When Vic was all alone in the house, he hopped down from the sofa and walked up the stairs, where he slowly walked into his father's bedroom. He was determined to locate the belongings that his father him.
As Vic began to look around his father's bedroom, he slowly approached the closet door that was located right in front of the king-sized bed. Vic placed his hands onto the handles of the closet door and slowly opened the door to find a large safe staring him right to the face.
Determined to unlock the safe, Vic slowly starts turning the lock repeatedly until he finally heard the lock click.
Excited, Vic grabbed the handle of the safe and swung it open revealing a basket of goods inside.
As Vic took out the basket and began to sift through what was inside, he found some instruction manuals on how to use the most popular anti-viruses at the time. He also found a Ziploc bag containing square shaped cards that had different colors, different labels, and in many different fonts.
The square shaped cards were in fact floppy disks. And there were at least 20 floppy disks with in the basket. "So, my father bequiffed to me some floppy disks?"
As Vic opened the Ziploc bag and took out the floppy disks, he began to shuffle them as he read out loud the names of some of those floppy disks. "Now lets see... We have Gruel, Heartbleed, Poison Ivy, Klez, Stuxnet... Wait a minute! These aren't just any floppy disks, these are virus infested floppy disks! Are these the floppy disks that my father tested back in the day? When he worked on disassembly and recovery during his time at the UAV?!!!"
He then saw a yellow sticky note that was stuck onto it. He slowly peeled off the sticky note and began to read what was written on the paper, "Hmm, and there appears to be a note to go with it. Now let's see... Dear Vic Kuroslov, if you are reading this sticky note. It means that I have passed on into the next world, and I am leaving behind these floppy disks; which I've tested during my early years in the United Anti-Virus movement." Vic read out loud.
"But Vic, do be warned. These disks contain viruses and other various forms of malware, and possession of such viruses is punishable by order of the United Anti-Virus movement. And can result in up to 30 years in quarantine. Therefore, I strongly advise you to keep these floppy disks safe and to use them only in the event of an emergency. Much love, your beloved father. Doctor Yusev Dos Kuroslov."
When Vic finished reading, he placed the sticky note back onto the floppy disk. He then placed the disks back inside the Ziploc bag before closing it. He put the bag inside the basket and grabbed it before sneaking outside the house. Vic was now in possession of his father's floppy disks which were infested with malware.
When the memories faded away, Vic led out a small tear from his eye as he looked down at the one floppy disk he was holding.
He then shook his head and quietly placed the floppy disk back in his pocket. He then got up to his feet and began to feel the padded walls that surrounded him. "I have to find a way to get out of here."
He then started banging onto the padded walls, "IS ANYONE OUT THERE?!!! CAN ANYONE HEAR ME?!!!" Vic shouted as he yelled to the top of his lungs.
But no one answered.
With no hope left, Vic slid down the padded walls and crouched down into a beetle position, hoping that someday, the solitary confinement doors will open; prompting his escape.
Meanwhile, back at ClamWin HQ; Void was standing atop the balcony of the top floor while looking out towards the horizon.
As he was watching the sun set before him, both Catney and Saki walked towards the blue robot to join him.
"It's a beautiful sunset isn't it ladies?" Void asked,
"Yeah, it sure is." Catney responded as she got closer to Saki and placed her hand over her sister's shoulder. Saki followed suit and placed her hand over Catney's shoulder as all three of them watched the sun transition from evening to night.
Once the skies turned dark, the trio heard the balcony doors open nearby. It was Norton and ClamWin, who were also walking towards the balcony for some fresh air.
"Mister Void, Miss Catney and Miss Saki, what are you three doing here at this time of night?" Norton asked,
"Minister Norton, please don't mind me, I was just taking some fresh air when these two ladies decided to join me." Void explained,
"Honestly, I thought this blue little f*r could use some company." Saki chimed in.
Void then began to walk towards the ministers, trying to come up with solutions to stop virus war, "So anti-viruses, have any of you thought about how we're going to fight off Content Control and rescue our friends?"
Both Norton and ClamWin slowly looked at each other with a serious look, they then shifted their heads back to the blue robot. "Well, upon examining our options; our solution is not so simple."
"Our only option is to split up into 2 teams. Void, you and ClamWin will join me in the onslaught against Optical Illusions and all it's viruses. While all this is happening, Courtney and Saki will sneak into quarantine to rescue as many as we can as quickly as possible. Whoever they leave behind, let us handle it. Is everyone in an agreement?"
Void was not happy upon hearing Norton's solution. "Minister Norton and Mistress ClamWin; do forgive me, but I fail to see this plan through. First of all, these girls will not be able to survive inside Content Control HQ. These girls have zero experience with cyber security other than the basic anti-virus functionality. We should at least train them in preparation for this assault against Content Control."
Void's face then then became angrier, "Ministers, you do realize that you're treating these girls like sacrificial goat files, right?"
"WHAT THE F*K DID YOU JUST CALL ME?!!!" Saki shouted as she approached the blue robot; ready to put up a fight.
"Sacrificial goat files!!!" Void responded, "If anti-viruses have no experience whatsoever, other anti-viruses will use inexperienced anti-viruses as dead software to sacrifice to viruses, as well as buy themselves some time."
Void then walked over to both girls and placed his hands on both their shoulders, "Personally ladies, I don't see either of you as sacrificial goat files."
Courtney approached the blue robot and hugged him, while giving the ministers a stern look. "Good! You better not treat me or Saki like f*ng sacrifices!"
Saki also join in to hug the blue anti-virus, "Yeah... I'm not very experienced with anti-virus either. So there's that. But I certainly am not a f*ng sacrifice either!!!"
After both girls let go of the robot, Catney decided to walk up to the ministers to plead her case. "Listen, I am willing to learn everything about cyber security and all, but I have zero experience with cyber security and anti-viruses and such. All we're asking is for you to give us a chance."
"As you just heard ministers, the girls have spoken!" Void said as he approached the ministers. "If we are to put a stop to Content Control once and for all, these girls will need to be trained in the arts of cyber security. You can at least train Catney and Saki on both virus culture, as well as virus detection and removal. As for disassembly and recovery, I'll leave it to you since you both have more experience than I do."
Norton and ClamWin both looked at each other for a brief moment.
"What say you minister Norton? Void does have a point." ClamWin remarked.
"I unfortunately have to agree with you ClamWin, these women truly are inexperienced when it comes to cyber security... so be it." Norton agreed.
Both ministers then shifted their sights back on the trio.
"So, what say you ministers? Will you be able to train these girls in preparation for the onslaught that's just up ahead?" Void asked.
Minister Norton slowly approached the ladies and took a deep breath, "Void ranger, ladies; after careful deliberation between ClamWin and myself, we have decided to grant your request to train these ladies." Norton announced.
Feeling excited and confident, both Saki and Catney hugged each other happily.
But suddenly, Norton grabbed both ladies and slightly pushed them apart from each other and gave them both a stern look, "Under one strict condition."
"And what might that be?" Catney asked looking worried.
"We must all be ready for battle in 24 hours. I know it's gonna be a brutal task, and we only have 2 days to prepare you for battle. Are you sure your up for this?" ClamWin asked as she placed her hand over Catney's shoulder.
"Need I remind you Void, the last U.A.V student who attempted a 24-hour training session never made it past virus detection and removal." Norton remarked.
"F*K OFF NORTON!!! CONTENT CONTROL IS GOING DOWN!!!" Saki shouted as she lifted her fist in the air.
Void smiled at Saki. "Well Saki, I wish you nothing but the best of luck in your training session."
The blue robot then walked towards the light blue cat, "What about you Courtney? Are you sure you want to do this?"
Catney approached Void with a stern look while squeezing her hands on his shoulders. "Bring it! Content Control is gonna pay for what they did to me back at Sonic Revolt." She then took his hand and placed it on her face; prompting Void to turn her cheek, to which he saw the scar that Content Control gave her earlier.
"Oh no!! Catney!!! Who gave you that scar?!! Content Control?!!" Void asked while looking terrified.
Catney responded with a single nod.
Void then looked at both ladies and took a deep breath, "Alright, if you say so ladies. Let the suffering begin."
Meanwhile, back at Content Control HQ, the 5 Axer Ranger robots were locked inside a steel cage.
In front of them was a red nanobot who was locking the cage doors in front of them with chains.
This gave the robots enough time to observe their surroundings. The environment itself looked like a sci-fi looking sewer tunnel. It was green, it had shiny walls, and funny enough; there was no water, no sewer animals or even that awful stench whatsoever.
When the nanobot finished locking the robots in the cage, the nanobot took a pick lock and locked it with a key before walking away, leaving the robots trapped inside.
"Sweet dreams... punks." The nanobot snickered as it left the room.
"And up yours too, you jack of eights!!!" Axer Blue responded as he held onto the bars before letting go to comfort his friends.
"Well Axer Blue, this sucks! Now that we got captured by those internet censorship b*s, how in the hell are we get out of here?!!!" Axer White complained.
Axer Blue simply grinned towards his scared comrades. "Elementary, my dear Axer White. We simply need to grab the keys from those nanobots, K.O them as quickly as possible and make our escape."
But Axer Crimson was looking very worried, "Umm, Axer Blue, I don't think that's gonna work. You do know that not all nanobots are as stupid as you think they are. And hell, what makes you think this plan will work?!!!"
In an attempt to snap Axer Crimson out of it, Axer Lime simply walked over to him and slapped him on the face. "Axer Crimson, just shut up and watch the magic."
The 4 rangers slowly stepped away from the cage door as Axer Blue was ready to put on a performance.
He began by pretending to cough profusely to fake an illness, which caught the attention of a nanobot who was patrolling nearby. "Nanobots!!! Help!!! I am in desperate need of assistance, I need an ambulance in here, stat!!!"
The nanobot rushed towards the dark blue robot and proceeded to examine him,
The nanobot placed his hand onto Axer Blue's cheek to check for virus infections and concluded the exam with a smirk, "Oh yeah? Well you should have thought of that before you broke the rules of Content Control!"
Axer Blue continued to cough viciously. He then reached out his hand as far as he could while the nanobot was watching his arm flail before him. "Please, I NEED A DOCTOR!!!"
The nanobot looked back at Axer Blue as it emitted angry eyes. "Alright fine, you win!!! I'll let you out, but only to use the telephone!"
Suddenly, as the red nanobot was unlocking the cage doors to let Axer Blue use the telephone from across the room, all 5 robots quickly drew their swords and stabbed the nanobot; causing it to fall to the ground.
"Wow, and I honestly expected escaping to be even more difficult!" Axer White remarked.
The 3 other robots applauded for Axer Blue as he gave them a quick bow in return, "And that ladies and gentleman is what happens when you trained to become a con artist throughout your childhood."
With the nanobot K.Oed, the robots began to make a break for it and head for the door that was on the opposite end of the telephone.
With brute force, Axer Blue stabbed his sword through the lock and was able to kick the door down. "Well now, that was easy. Cmon, lets bolt!"
Once the door was broken, the rangers began to crawl as they began to snoop around the area; in an attempt to search for a possible escape route.
As they snooped deeper in the premises, they noticed a gathering of nanobots standing in a triangle formation. They were waiting for their leader to enter the room to deliver them new orders.
Suddenly, the double doors just above them from the upper balcony opened, as a black armored minister with a red cape, red shield and black keyhole logo, along with a gold looking nanobot and a green armored minister with a green cape and a large W logo approached the army of nanobots and began to deliver a speech.
As the nanobots cheered on for their leaders, minister Webroot raised his hands in the air to prompt the nanobots to stop cheering and look up towards their leader. "Attention nanobots!!! Minister Total AV would like to say a few words!"
Total AV then approached the edge of the balcony and began to speak.
"Firstly, I would just like to say how proud I am that you are all standing here, still to this day. And that alone makes me very proud to call you my finest soldiers. Well done.
Secondly, I bring exciting news regarding our partnership with our friends and moderators at Content Control." Total AV announced as he turned his attention towards the green minister, "Minister Webroot, if you will?"
Total AV then took a few steps back as Webroot approached the edge of the balcony to deliver the news, "Thank you sir." Webroot responded as he bowed before his longtime friend.
"In exactly 24 hours ago, we declared détente with the United Anti-Virus movement. And since then, there has been an increase of organized crime in the United Lols Of Roflica."
Upon hearing Webroot's statement, the nanobots began to mutter and whisper among themselves before the Gigabot shouted, "SILENCE!!!" to order the nanobots to pay attention.
"But thanks to the wonderful assistance from our beloved moderators at Content Control, we managed to stop many law breakers and have seized control over multiple companies, such as McAfee, Sonic Revolt, Macrosoft Corporation, and the elementary schools of Robosoft; just to name a few." Webroot announced as Total AV approached the balcony edge to stand next to Webroot.
"And trust me when I say, there will be more where that came from." Total AV chimed in.
"Thirdly, I want to address that our army of Optical Illusions is only growing stronger and stronger. Thanks to Content Control, the 9 dragons, and a brand-new army that recently decided to join forces with us."
Webroot then lifted his arm to turn the nanobots' attention to the opposite end of the room, "And so, without further a due, allow us to present to you, our third newest partner of Optical Illusions..."
Suddenly, the double doors on the opposite end of the room swung open, as a large looking figure with red uniform, black pants, and a weird mustache entered the room with a couple of his own assembled robots by his side.
"Ladies and gentlemen, doctor Ivo Eggman!" Webroot introduced.
Eggman and his robots began to approach the leaders of Optical Illusions while applauding for them. "Well well well, if it isn't minister Total AV of Optical Illusions. I have heard so much about you, and all the wonderful things you have done for your paying customers.
And allow me to say that I am honored to become the newest member of Optical Illusions, as well as a partner and a moderator for Content Control." Eggman said as he and Total AV bowed towards each other.
Once both leaders finished bowing before each other, Eggman then raised his hand; prompting his badnicks to exit the room.
"Furthermore, I wish to present Optical Illusions with a gift. Behold, my very latest... and not so greatest invention!!!" Eggman said as the robots re-entered the room carrying what looked like an aqua looking chimera with a ponytail and bangs. She had 2 tails and wore a black and pink shirt, dark gloves and had goggles over her hair.
The poor chimera had her hands tied behind her back with ropes, she also had a noose around her neck; as she was being pulled by one of Eggman's badnicks.
"LET ME GO YOU CREEPS!!!" The chimera cried as she struggled to get free.
The aqua chimera was in fact SNT, and she was looking different than the last time anyone has seen her.
As the badnicks marched with the captured SNT towards the leaders of Optical Illusions, Webroot lifted his hands in the air in celebration.
"YES!!! AT LAST!!! THE BEAST HAS FALLEN!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!" Webroot laughed.
"Indeed." Total AV said looked down at SNT with a smile, "Welcome back to Optical Illusions miss SNT. Do forgive us for taking you away from Angel Island, as well as your friends. But thanks to you Doctor Eggman; I am finally proud to have this little chimera delivered to me on a silver platter!!"
Total AV then shifted his attention from SNT to the mad scientist himself, "But how did you find her so easily?"
Eggman chuckled, "It's very simple, really. After we finally captured a pathetic blue rodent, we launched a full-scale assault on Angel Island with an army of my finest badnicks. Fortunately for us, she was given the choice to either surrender to us, or lose all her friends in null space."
"I could have defeated you too, if it wasn't for Infinite and his damn ruby!!!" SNT shouted,
"You have no one to blame but yourself." The mad scientist responded.
Webroot chuckled towards the chimera's misery, "Cheer up child. By the time the good doctor is finished with you. No one, not even that blueberry runt will ever hear you scream."
Suddenly, Total AV drew his sword in the air and raised it towards the mad doctor, "Well done Doctor Eggman, now take the girl away and lock her up in quarantine!!"
The mad doctor slowly bowed before the black and red minister, "As you wish, minister Total AV." He then pointed the badnicks to escort SNT out of the room and into quarantine. "Come my little princess, it's high time I roboticize you... and this time, I will... not... fail."
With one last chance to confront her captors, SNT cried out, "You will never get away with this!!! My friends will rescue me!!!"
But Eggman simply chuckled, "And just how do you plan on calling for help, when no one knows where you are?!!!"
As the badnicks carried SNT out of the room, SNT led out one final scream for all to hear, "HELP!!! LET GO OF ME!!!"
Once the doors closed, Eggman grabbed a random boombox nearby and pressed the power button. He then put on a cape, a top hat and a cane, and began dancing and kicking towards the exit door as the music began to play.
But Webroot and Total AV were not amused by Eggman's victory dance, "What... in the hell... is he doing?" Webroot questioned,
"I'm not quite sure... Must be some stupid victory dance, or something like that." Total AV responded.
As Total AV was watching Eggman leave the room, Webroot turned around and opened the double doors behind him to exit.
Meanwhile, the 5 multi colored robots hiding nearby were shocked and outraged by what they just witnessed, "So, that's their game huh? They multiply and multiply, until Content Control becomes the most powerful virus syndicate known to man?!!" Axer Blue questions,
"And what the hell was that aqua looking abomination?" Asked Axer White who was still trying to question the species of the animal that Eggman and his badnicks have captured.
But Axer Lime didn't care about any of those questions. "Who gives a sh*t! Let's just call Void, and send him our distress signal!" She said as she grabbed her walkie talkie and tried radioing the outside world for help.
"This is Axer Lime to Void ranger, come in Void ranger."
But as Axer Lime tried to send her distress signal to the U.A.V, the signal immediately turned static.
"Void ranger, do you copy?"
But once again, the signal was static.
Suddenly, the 5 robots heard a very deep and sinister voice coming from the same room, "Well well well, what do we have here?!!!"
"Oh no... they found us..." Axer White whispered.
Caught and cornered, the robots got up on their feet and began to approach the leaders of Optical Illusions,
"So... the prisoners have escape from their quarantine, huh?" Total AV questioned while looking impressed, "Well... I suppose I can arrange for a little 'party in the afterlife.'"
He then draws his sword and points it directly to the nanobots, "Nanobots... delete them!!!"
The nanobots began to surround the 5 robots within the room, as they drew their electro shock spears and began to spin them around in circles; in hopes to intimidate the robots.
"Well sh*t..." Axer Crimson remarked.
Back at the balcony of ClamWin HQ, Void was sitting by the rails of the balcony, while trying to pick up a signal from his walkie talkie.
"Axer Rangers, do you copy? Axer Lime, do you copy?!!!" Void shouted.
But even on the blue robot's end, the signal was dead.
Fed up with Content Control, Void rushes back into the building, and opens the door to the first laboratory he can find.
He then opened up a computer and activated the command prompt, where he began to program a script which he would eventually send to his enemies.
As Void began typing a couple of lines of code, ClamWin was walking by the hallway where she spotted Void scripting on one of her computers,
"Void ranger, what in heavens name do you think you're doing to my PC?!" ClamWin asked as she entered the lab, and got closer to observe what the blue robot was typing.
"Simple. I'm about to hit Content Control with the Sasser virus." Void responds as he continued typing.
Upon hearing this, ClamWin was in shock, "WAIT, WHAT?!!! YOU'RE GOING TO INFECT CONTENT CONTROL WITH THE SASSER VIRUS?!!! YOU DO REALIZE THAT INFECTING PEOPLE WITH VIRUSES WILL EARN YOU UP TO 30 YEARS IN QUARANTINE?!!!" ClamWin protested.
Void slowly turned towards ClamWin and gave her a stern look, "Mistress ClamWin, no disrespect to you or the entire United Anti-Virus movement. But at this point, screw the rules! Content Control has already broken many rules of the United Anti-Virus movement. And if no one is willing to help us, then the only way to beat them back... is to fight fire with fire!!! Do you understand me minister?!"
ClamWin looked on at Void in shock. She then turned her back on him and began to process the current state of the virus war. "He's right unfortunately. If we are to fight back against Content Control, we cannot cook an omelet without breaking some eggs."
After a brief moment of silence, ClamWin took a deep breath and finally accepted Void's offer, "...Very well Void, but please... Don't tell minister Norton about this, he'll demote you to your previous rank, as well as get me fired if he ever finds out about this."
"My lips are sealed." Void responded.
As he finished typing the codes to make the Sasser virus, the blue robot completed the infection by pressing the enter button. "And done. Now that Content Control is infected by Sasser; every 60 seconds, their computers will shut down indefinitely. Unless these idiots are smart enough to disinfect their entire networks, I'm hoping that this virus infection will buy us some time."
Both Void and mistress ClamWin then walked out of the laboratory, and headed back outside towards the balcony; where they began to observe the night sky.
However, ClamWin was feeling very uneasy, as she just watched her best student infect an entire company with a virus. Something that she never expected from her star pupil.
Meanwhile, back in the nanobots room of Content Control HQ; we find the 5 robots still surrounded by nanobots, and Total AV looking down on them from a balcony above them.
"So... you rangers thought that you could escape from Optical Illusions." Total AV questioned while looking unimpressed.
"YEAH!!! IT'S DA JUGGERNAUT B*H!!!" Axer Magenta shouted back.
"So it seems... but one must answer... why?" Total AV growled.
Having had enough of Total AV and the nanobots, Axer Blue approached the black and red minister, and he was ready to speak his mind.
"Simple. After Void told us everything about his past, he told us that you were the virus author of all his pain. And how you attempted to make his life a living hell. And how you tried multiple times to bring down the U.A.V headquarters." Axer Blue lectured.
"Yes... I remember those days. I remember when we fought for the very first time back at Optical Illusions. If only the U.A.V never purchased the blueberry boy in the first place." Total AV responded.
"Why? So you can let him do your dirty work? How pathetic!" Axer White snarked.
"And also, what's with that... animal, that mad doctor, and his... robots?" Axer Lime questioned.
"Doctor Eggman and his minions have finally captured a young chimera who's been a thorn on my side for far too long!!!" Total AV responded. "She fought against us to save the computer world aboard my space defense platform, and she even managed to escape with those filthy friends of hers!
But now that we have her trapped in quarantine, she will no longer interfere with our plans to eliminate the United Anti-Virus movement."
"Hah! I hate to break it to you, but there's still one major flaw to your plan of eliminating the U.A.V. And he has already infected your network." Axer Blue taunted, "See for yourself, you fool!"
Axer Blue then raises his hand, prompting Total AV to turn towards a nanobot who was approaching him with a laptop in his hand,
"El Presidente, tenemos una situacion muy serio!" Shouted a nanobot as he ran towards Total AV and opened up the laptop; showing off the Sasser worm infecting the computer.
"Grrrrrr... curse you Void ranger!!!" Total AV shouted.
"Cmon, lets get out of here before they kill us!" Axer Crimson shouted,
With Total AV distracted; the 5 robots raised their swords and began to hack, slash and stab most of the nanobots in the room.
Once most of the nanobots were incapacitated, the 5 robots decided to make a run for it.
Upon leaving the nanobots room, they entered the main hanger where a lone spaceship was waiting to be piloted. The spaceship was long, rectangular and had a copper finish on the side of it's engines.
Without a word, and without hesitating; the robots rushed into the spaceship and began to take their seats in preparation for takeoff. Axer Blue and Axer White sat in the cockpit while the rest of the robots sat in the passenger seats.
Axer Blue then pressed a button on the front panel, and the spaceship took off into the night; leaving Optical Illusions stranded in Content Control HQ.
As the spaceship flew away from the hanger, the Gigabot looked out in the horizon as it watched the spaceship fly away.
2 hours later, back at ClamWin HQ; the spaceship from Content Control finally landed in the courtyard of the building.
Ready to greet the travelers, Void, the two girls and two ministers approached the spaceship. Whjen the doors opened, they were all surprised by who they saw exiting.
Filled with tears in his eyes, Void ran towards his robot friends and gave them a group hug. "Axer Rangers, tis wonderful to see you all again, are you hurt? Any injuries I should know about?!"
"We're all fine Void, we have no injuries whatsoever." Axer Blue responded.
As the robots released each other from the hug, Norton slowly approached the robots; demanding answers. "May I ask, how did you escape?"
"Well, lets see... we let our guard down for a moment and got captured. We got interrogated by Total AV and his nanobots." Axer White responded,
"I'm not gonna lie, Total AV went on and on of how Content Control was gonna help him shut down the U.A.V and arrest all the ministers. And what's weird about all of this, he teamed up with this... weird mad scientist." Axer Crimson chimed in.
Surprised, Void slowly approached his robot friends and asked them, "Tell me, what did you see?"
Axer Lime took a deep breath and began to explain, "We saw a mad doctor and a couple of robots holding a little animal hostage, and we overheard that they was gonna turn this animal... into a robot."
Void, Catney and Saki were shocked to hear what Axer Lime had told them. "WAIT, WHAT?!!! YOU SAW A SMALL ANIMAL?!!! WHAT DID THE ANIMAL LOOK LIKE?!!! DID IT HAVE AQUA COLOR, 2 TAILS, A PONYTAIL AND BANGS?!!!"
Axer Blue bowed his head in sadness, "Unfortunately, it is possible that this animal could be the girl you speak of."
Realizing what the robots said, Void got down on his knees and began to cry, "Oh no... SNT... what happened to you?"
"Wait a minute!!! SNT got kidnapped?!!! And... mad scientist?!! Don't you mean Doctor Eggman? What does Eggman have to do with Content Control?!!!" Courtney shouted.
"Maybe they're using Eggman as a pawn to remove SNT, so that she won't be able to help us stop Content Control!" Saki hypothesized.
"WELL, THIS IS JUST GREAT!!! FIRST, THE ANTI-VIRUSES, THEN INNOCENT PEOPLE!!! AND NOW SNT?!!! WHAT'S NEXT?!!! A SCHOOL?!!!" Courtney shouted in anger.
ClamWin slowly approaches Catney and placed her hand on the cat girl's shoulder. "On the contrary, miss ProjectSNT, they already captured an elementary school."
"GRRRR!!! WELL ISN'T THIS JUST PERFECT!!!" Catney growled.
"And it's a shame too, I really miss that chimera OC of yours, nii-chan." Saki said as she hugged her sister.
Void then approached the robots once again, "And what do you know about Doctor Eggman, I know he's a mad scientist. And he's always going after Sonic and his friends, but why would he betray us after he helped our species evolve over the last 10 years?" Void asked while trying to piece the puzzle together, "Is there a personal vendetta between him and SNT that I'm not aware of?"
Void then stepped away from the robots and began to have a revelation, "Now that I think about it, SNT was very secretive towards me about her personal life. But still, Eggman betraying our robotic race?"
Void then turned his attention towards the ministers and slowly shifted his head back to the robots. "I won't lie, but that's a low blow; even for him. We have to find SNT, and mount a rescue operation to save her. Is anyone with me?!!"
Just then, Catney and Saki stepped forward towards the blue robot, "I'm in. SNT is still my OC after all. And if something happens to her, there will be hell to pay!" Catney shouted while clenching a fist.
"I'm in too, but only because I have to protect my sister in case sh*t hits the fan!" Saki answered as she placed her hand over her sister's shoulders. "Any other one of you f*rs wanna raise some hell?!!"
Void then shifted his attention back towards the robots, "Rangers, I know we haven't been on adventures together in a long time... but do you suppose you can help out a friend? For old time sake?" Void wondered.
Axer Blue and his robot friends slowly bowed towards the blue robot in unison, "We'd love to, but we need to be trained in the arts of cyber security, before we can even mount a rescue operation." Axer Blue confessed.
"Axer Blue is right." Norton chimed in as he stepped forward to further address the situation. "These robots are inexperienced when it comes to anti-viruses... But no matter. We shall commence the training first thing tomorrow morning. Do I make myself clear?" Norton asked as he gave the robots a soldier salute.
The robots bowed before the ministers and shouted in unison, "SIR, YES SIR!!!"
As the robots finished bowing before the ministers, everyone except for Void proceeded to walk inside the building.
But before Void decided to follow them inside ClamWin HQ, the blue robot took one last good look into the horizon. "Don't worry Vic and SNT, we'll save you both... very soon."
