Chapter 14: The Monastery Zone:
As SNT and the girls walked out of the laboratory and began to approach the mountains, Maria ran as fast as she could to catch up to them.
She finally reached the chimera in time and took a moment to catch her breath,
Maria and SNT then looked up to see the Sin Serials monastery just up ahead,
"Well SNT, there it is... the ancient mountains. I've been studying these mountains for just such an occasion."
"So how do we get up there?" Catney asked looking worried,
Maria began to think, "Well Catney... in order to reach Sin Serials, SNT must fly up the mountain; using her tails. And then she must use a grappling hook to pull you all the way up to the summit.
You still remember where Sin Serials is, right SNT?"
SNT thought about it for a moment and pointed to the mountain on the right. "Of course, I remember you told me it was the 2nd mountain on the right."
Maria looked back at SNT unimpressed, "Actually SNT, that's Sin Cores, Sin Serials is the first mountain on the left."
"Oops!" SNT giggled as she placed her hand on the back of her head. "Sorry, I just felt a little airheaded."
Catney then walked up to SNT and placed her hands on her shoulders, "Don't worry SNT, just stay focused, and I'm sure you'll be fine."
"Yeah, what's the worst that can happen?!" Saki laughed.
Both Maria and SNT looked back at the mountains, "SNT, Catney and Saki... good luck on your mission. I'm sure you'll be able to find a cure for Void Ranger as soon as possible. Right?"
"Don't worry Maria, I promise." SNT and Maria then jumped up and gave each other a high five before setting off. "Well... wish me luck!"
Maria watched as the girls began to run towards the mountain containing the monastery of Sin Serials. "Good luck SNT. And please, don't lose yourself."
But suddenly, as she walked back to the laboratory of Team 182, she discovered a grizzly sight.
All of her teammates were on the floor; bound and gagged with webs. Surrounding them were the D.R.A.C units.
On the floor were Nicole, Daniela, Marine and Shade. There were also 3 other figures that were bound and gagged on the floor.
One of them was a black hedgehog with golden brass knuckles named Never. The second was a large dark blue fox wearing a white t-shirt with gray stars named Subaru. Finally, the third figure was a chao that wore a school uniform, had orange hair and a wing pin in her hair, it was SNT's friend Saki Chao. And they were all captured by the D.R.A.C units.
But before Maria could scream for help, she was immediately wrapped with web once again from behind. "Mmmmph mmmmmph!!!"
As Maria fell to the floor, she noticed Tarantula approaching her from a nearby wall, he got closer to the bound and gagged doctor and let out a devilish grin. "Hello Maria, did you miss me?"
Suddenly, emerging from behind the drones was Big Old Tori who approached the 8-legged robot to congratulate him.
"Excellent! Well done, Tarantula, you have successfully arrested one of our primary criminal organizations. Content Control will be very proud of you." Big Old Tori said as he slapped Tarantula's shoulder from behind.
"Nnnnph!!! Hmmm mmph!!!" Maria muffled as she tried to object.
Big Old Tori then turned his head and focused his attention on the drones, "Alright men! Pack it up! We're heading home!!!"
But as Big Old Tori and the drones picked up Maria and the captured members of Team 182; and carried them away from the laboratory,
Tarantula's eyes switched from red to a bright blue for a split second before changing back to their usual re., BU t that was when he noticed a light blue figure going to the monastery's cliffside.
The 8-legged robot had spotted the aqua chimera, and he still wasn't finished with her yet.
Tarantula began to crawl in the opposite direction, but as Big Old Tori turned around to speak with the spider,"Tarantula!!! HEY!!! Where are you going?!!!" Big Old Tori shouted.
"To finish what I started." The spider-bot responded.
"You do realize Quant is going to give a lot of s*t if you carry out this plan of yours, right?" Big Old Tori said.
"Why should I care for someone who barely shows his face?" Tarantula retorted.
"Be reasonable Tarantula, I'm sure you would do the same for your master." Big Old Tori suggested,
"At least my master understood the consequences of what was about to happen, unlike yours." the arachnid robot snarked, as he leapt after his prey.
Big Old Tori sighed in defeat as he grabbed his walkie talkie, "Master Quant, bring me my spaceship please... Thank you"
He then looked into the distance where Tarantula leapt off to, his stomach began to turn as he started feeling nervous.
Back at the base of the 2 mountains, SNT and the girls were looking up to see how high the mountain was in order to reach Sin Serials.
"Umm... SNT? How the f*k are we gonna get up there?!!!" Saki trembled as she held onto Void; trying not to make him fall.
"Well... I can fly. But I can only carry one person up the mountain, if I carry all of you together, that's over 200 pounds overweight, and I don't think I'll be able to pull over 200 pounds of weight up the mountain."
But just then, Catney's eyes lit up. "SNT... I have an idea! What if you can fly up the mountain while carrying me, and then we can use the grappling hook and have Saki climb to the top of the monastery."
"Wait a minute! Why the f*k do you get to fly with SNT and I have to climb this f*ng mountain with my blood, sweat and tears, and this pathetic excuse of an anti-virus?!!!" Saki argued.
Catney walked up to Saki and placed her hands on the Sock's shoulders, "You have the most important task of carrying the anti-virus to safety."
Saki turned away from the other girls and pouted, "Hmmph!"
Catney then closed her eyes and lifted her hands up, "Alright, if you want the world to wither away in darkness, that's up to you." Catney sighed.
Saki was looking nervous, "But... g-g-grappling hook?... Up there?! I'm sure the grappling hook will f*ng snap and have us gonna fall to our death, right?!!" Saki argued.
SNT walked up to Saki and held onto her waist, "Saki, please... He's still infected with the Spider virus, and he's our only chance of helping us save the computer world. If he dies now, then..."
SNT then stopped mid-sentence and held onto Void's unconscious body as she cried on his shoulder, "...Void needs our help now more than ever." The chimera said as she wiped her tears.
Saki growled, "Fine! But I call dibs on this anti-virus; once this adventure is over. I'm gonna take him and I'm gonna install him on my f*ng computer where he'll be my anti-virus forever!"
But Catney still wasn't sure about the plan, she placed her hands on Saki's arms, "But Saki, are you sure you want to do this? Void is pretty heavy for a small robot his size. If you don't want to do it, you don't have to!!! Plus, if you fall, you'll..."
Catney then hugged Saki with all her might as she cried on her shoulder,
"Says the b*h that wants to take the easy way out with her OC, while I'm stuck down here, suffering with a robot." Saki snarked. "Screw you both, I'm doing it!! Now strap me up!!!"
SNT and Catney looked around the bottom of the mountain for a couple of minutes, until finally, SNT found some rope that was conveniently placed nearby.
She gave Saki the ropes, to which; the Sock tied her waist up, and used the rest of the rope to attach Void onto her back like a knapsack.
"Alright Catney, hop on!!!" SNT shouted as she grabbed the end of the rope and got into position.
Catney climbed on top of SNT's back, as the chimera began to spin her tails. "Everyone ready?! Okay... here goes nothing!!!"
SNT flew Catney all the way to the top of the mountain where the monastery was just behind them.
When the chimera and cat girl reached the summit, they walked towards the edge of the cliff as Catney shouted, "Hey Saki!! Can you hear us from down there?!!!"
"Loud and clear!!!" Saki shouted. "Secure the rope whenever you're ready!!!
SNT then carried the rope she was holding in her hands and tied it to the nearest boulder she could find.
"Alright Saki, you're good to go!!!" SNT shouted.
With no turning back, Saki closed her eyes and took a deep breath, as she grabbed the nearest rocks. And thus, her quest to climb to the top of the mountain had begun.
As Saki slowly began to climb, she started feeling Void's weight on her back, "Nghhh! God dammit Void, why do you have to be so heavy?" She grunted while keeping control of her breathing.
Unfortunately, Void still couldn't answer since he was unconscious on Saki's back.
Saki then took another deep breath and continued climbing.
As Saki was getting close to the summit; at the top of the mountain, both Catney and SNT were watching Saki and Void climb the mountain.
But all of a sudden, a small metallic orb with a spider web pattern rolled behind them. Carney turned around and noticed the orb started blinking in a red light.
"OH NO!!! SNT!!! BEHIND US!!!" Catney cried. SNT turned around and saw the orb as it began to blink even faster. She grabbed Catney by the wrist and jumped away.
The orb finally let out a massive explosion. SNT and Catney took cover behind a nearby boulder, as the force of the explosion made the wind blow across their face. When the dust settled, the chimera and cat girl peeked out from their hiding spot, and saw a figure approaching them through the smoke.
SNT gritted her as she recognized who it was, but Catney gave a worried look to her creation.
Unbeknownst to Saki, the explosion from earlier caused the rope that was attached to the boulder to catch fire.
As Saki continued climbing, she felt the rope snap from above. Saki tried to grab onto the nearest rocks she could find, but she was falling 10 stories off the cliff.
"AHHHHHHHHHH!!!" The poor Sock screamed with all her might, "GOD!!! I THOUGHT I WAS SAFE!!!"
As Catney and SNT came out from their hiding spot to confront the figure in the smoke, SNT quickly noticed the rope was sliding towards the edge of the mountain, but the figure grabbed the rope with one of its tentacles.
When the figure finally grabbed the rope, Saki grabbed the closest rock she could find to stop herself from falling. Despite having a few scratches Saki held onto the rocks and began to climb once again.
"WHAT THE F*K!!! ARE YOU TRYING TO SEND ME TO MY F*NG GRAVE!!!" Saki yelled,
She was fuming, but she eventually stopped raging. The Sock closed her eyes and calmed herself once again; as she continued to climb another 10 stories.
Little did she realize, but a certain spider robot was already fighting the aqua chimera up top.
Back at the top of the summit, SNT gritted her teeth in anger. When the smoke finally cleared, the figure revealed itself to be no other than Tarantula.
"Hello, other SNT," Tarantula greeted, "did you enjoy my present back at the laboratory with Team 182?"
"The only thing I'll enjoy is ripping you apart limb from limb." SNT said coldly. Catney covered her mouth in shock.
"Stoic threats as usual," The robot disregarded, "but even if you did, you'd risk your friends falling to their death." He taunted by slowly swinging the rope that Saki held on to.
SNT had enough of this and tackled Tarantula, who let go of the rope. Catney ran towards the rope as quickly as possible.
"VOID!!! NII-CHAN!!!" Catney shouted as she grabbed the rope and held onto it with her bare hands.
As the rope once again lost friction, Saki was already halfway done climbing to the top of the summit,
But suddenly, the rope once again snapped, and Saki began to fall another 10 stories below, "GOD F*NG DAAAAAAAAMN!!!" Saki screamed.
She quickly grabbed the closest rock once again to stop herself from falling. "I SWEAR TO F*NG CH*T!!! I'LL KILL YOU ALL ONCE I GET UP THERE!!!" Saki shouted.
Up top, Catney quickly ran even further to another boulder, where she tied Saki's ropes.
But the explosions were getting louder and louder for Saki to handle.
Worried for her safety, and the safety of Void's, she didn't bother climbing; as she already knew what was going to happen if she tried it again.
SNT threw a punch to Tarantula's faceplate, but it was quickly caught by one of his claws and she was tossed aside.
The chimera landed on her feet before the spider robot threw metal orbs at her which exploded on impact.
SNT jumped high into the air and spun her two tails to get more height.
The chimera then pulled out her Quantum Blaster and began to fire energy spheres at her opponent.
Tarantula leapt out of the way and pointed both of his hands at SNT and fired his finger missiles.
The chimera then pulled out another weapon, the Burst Wispon, and sprayed a stream of fire which made the missiles explode.
The spider robot stared in awe at the weapons this SNT had, as a nastly plot began to process in his head. He reloaded his finger missiles and fired them again, this time encircling their target.
SNT used the Wispon to produce a stream of fire once again, however the smoke from the missiles completely blinded her. She flew out the cloud of smoke, only for her to see Tarantula flying by spinning his tentacles like a helicopter.
Tarantula fired his eye beams knocking SNT out of the air. The chimera landed on the ground, she got up but quickly stumbled as she felt her body being weakened by the fall.
Catney came to SNT's aid, "SNT! Are you okay?!"
"Yeah, I'm fine." The chimera responded.
Suddenly another metal orb came down in their direction, Catney shoved SNT out of the way as it exploded right in her face. The explosion engulfed Catney's entire body and sent her flying. Her body was almost knocked out of the cliffside.
"Catney!" SNT cried. She ran towards her injured creator to check if she was okay. However, something grabbed her by the ankle, which made her trip and fall. She was then tossed away from Catney's direction.
SNT slowly got up and saw Tarantula towering over her, with a grin on his faceplate, "What's wrong SNT? Can't protect your friends?" He laughed.
SNT clenched her fists in anger and tackled Tarantula, she then grabbed his two front tentacles and ripped them out of their harness. The chimera didn't let up, she started to pummel the spider-bot's face over and over till one of his eyes was knocked out of their sockets.
But every punch Tarantula took, it only made him smile sadistically. He laughed through it like it was some kind of joke. Eventually, SNT stopped and held Tarantula by his harness.
"What's so funny, huh?!" SNT punched Tarantula again but the robot kept laughing. The spider-bot then pointed to his left.
SNT looked on in horror as she saw Catney with a frightened look on her face; she saw the whole thing. The chimera quickly recoiled in FEAR and backed away from Tarantula. The robot was disappointed at his arch-enemy's reaction.
"Not strong enough to do it? Well then perhaps you need a little motivation." Tarantula then shot a web from his wrist towards SNT's face.
SNT grabbed the spider web and ripped it apart. But to her surprise, Tarantula was no longer there.
"HELP!"
SNT's ears perked up and turned to her right where the scream came. Her eyes widened when she saw Catney wrapped in one of Tarantula's tentacles.
"Please let go!!!" Catney struggled in spider-bot's grasp. "HELP ME!!!"
SNT didn't know what to do, but she had to think of something.
"Let this be a reminder, SNT, of what happens when you involve your friends in our battles." Tarantula then tossed Catney off the cliff.
SNT ran to Catney's aid, but Tarantula caught her with one of his tentacles. The chimera was forced to watch as her creator was plummeting to her death below.
But something inside SNT snapped. As she began to remember a similar incident that happened before, which resulted in the death of her creator.
SNT pulled Tarantula by the tentacle he held her with and made him stumble on his claws, accidentally releasing her. Now free, SNT dived to her creator's aid.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Catney screamed for dear life. She then closed her eyes and waited for the inevitable.
But suddenly, she felt something grab her hand and stopped mid-air. She opened her eyes and saw SNT holding her hand.
Meanwhile, Tarantula was losing his balance after stumbling on his claws earlier. He began to stagger towards the cliff.
SNT brought Catney back to the summit. The chimera then got down on her knees next to her creator to make sure she was okay. "Catney, are you okay?" The chimera asked
Catney looked up to SNT, "I... I think so."
But as they quickly noticed Tarantula falling to his demise. The spider robot was still eager to finish her off, so he wrapped the chimera with his tentacles... And it was so, both combatants fell off the cliff.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Screamed SNT as her scream echoed throughout the mountain.
When the fight was finally over, Catney got up from the ground and walked around the area looking for SNT, "SNT? SNT?!!! Where are you?!!"
But unfortunately, the chimera did not respond, realizing what had happened, the cat girl slowly walked towards the cliff and began to tear up.
"Oh god! Oh god, NOOOO!!!" Catney shouted as she looked down at the edge of the cliff.
Catney undid the ropes and began to pull, while Saki began to climb the mountain once again for the fourth time.
Eventually, Void and Saki finally reached the top of the mountain.
Saki quickly removed the ropes, causing Void to fall to the floor.
She then ran to Catney and hugged her with all her might. "Nii-chan!!! Thank you for helping me get up the mountain safely!!!"
"Ohh nii-chan, I was so worried about you!" Catney said she hugged Saki back,
But when the hug was over, Saki looked at Catney, she wasn't happy.
The Sock looked around left and right, until she eventually realized, "Wait... where's SNT?"
The cat girl teared up as she placed her hands on her face, "I... I can't believe I lost her."
She then turned her back and bowed her head down, "I just wasn't ready Saki. Five more minutes would have been enough... At least to tell her how much I love her!!!"
But Saki grabbed her sister, and turned her around. She then placed her hands on Catney's cheeks, "GOD DAMMIT NII-CHAN!!! PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER!!!"
But Catney couldn't help it. She bent her head down and cried on her sister's shoulder.
All of a sudden, as Saki was comforting her sister, they heard a noise of spinning tails coming from the bottom of the cliff.
"Shhh, listen. Do you hear something?" Saki asked as she smiled while wiping the tears off her sister's face.
When the girls turned around, Catney was in shock to see her own OC happily flying towards her.
Catney ran to SNT and hugged the chimera with all her might.
"Ohh SNT... I thought I lost you." Catney cried,
SNT smiled at the cat girl, as she shed a tear as well, "I thought I lost you too!!!"
The cat girl then looked deep into SNT's eyes and begged, "SNT!!! Don't you ever do that again!!! You almost scared me to death!!!"
SNT and Catney hugged each other with all their might, "Courtney, I promise."
When the hug was over, SNT walked up to Saki and gave her a hug as well.
"You're f*ng lucky to be alive SNT! You're f*ng lucky!" Saki remarked.
"Same with you Saki." SNT smiled as they both let go of each other,
SNT then walked up to Void's unconscious body, "How is he?"
Saki placed her hand on the chimera's shoulder, "He's still unconscious unfortunately. If we can get him somewhere safe like inside the monastery, we might still be able to get him some help... That is, if anyone still lives here, of course."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's move out!" SNT shouted as she picked up Void's body and gave it to Saki.
Finally, the girls slowly began walking towards the entrance of the monastery.
The monastery was an old abandoned fortress with brick walls, a castle structure on the roofs. It had burnt flags of the United Anti-Virus movement on the side and was the only building that was standing at the top of the mountain.
When the girls reached the door. SNT walked towards the door and began to knock. But unlike the laboratory of Team 182, there was no voice message from the intercom to greet the guests, it was just pure silence.
SNT tried to knock on the doors once again... But there was no answer.
SNT and Catney then grabbed onto the door knobs and pulled the metal doors open. The girls then walked inside the monastery, only to discover something weird that they would never expect to see for a run down castle.
Inside the castle, was a staircase filled with blue neon walls and binary coded stairs. It looked nothing like the outside. There were also multiple doors in the castle; that leads to a different location within the monastery. Similar to Peach's castle in Super Mario 64 or Grunty's Lair in Banjo Kazooie.
"So... this is what Sin Serials looks like on the inside?... Wow, looks like someone really does need a makeover." SNT snarked.
The trio slowly walked down the stairwell until they reached the foyer of the castle.
"Hello? Is anyone here?" SNT asked while Catney and Saki were observing their new surroundings,
"Is anyone in here?!" SNT called out, "We need some help! We have an anti-virus robot that got infected with the Spider virus, and we're looking for a U.A.V minister who might be able to help us!!! Please?!"
But all of a sudden, they began to hear a loud gruff voice from a distance, "Go away!!! Intruders are not permitted beyond this point!!! Leave now, or you will all be terminated!!!"
Upon hearing the voice, Void slowly opened his eyes and was conscious once again, "Hey... Saki? Can you please put me down?"
Saki nodded and gently placed him down, but still held onto him, in order to prevent him from collapsing once again.
Void then took a few steps forward until he finally stopped in the middle of the foyer.
He then took a deep breath and asked, "Minister Sophos?... Is it really you?"
Suddenly, a purple and blue armored minister with a blue cape, and a white shield with a blue S logo, slowly emerged from one of the walls of the nearby room.
But the blue looking minister wasn't in very good shape. He had battle scars on his head, one scar was near his eye and two scars were on his cheek.
"What the hell are you all doing here?!! You are not authorized to be here!!!" Sophos shouted, "This is a restricted military facility for higher-level personnel only!!!"
The minister then reached into his belt and drew his sword. He then aimed his weapon towards the heroes, "My apologies children... but it's time for you to leave!!! Failure to comply with these rules and regulations, and I will have you all executed on the spot!!! Do you understand?!!"
Upon hearing those words, Void was shocked.
He quickly walked towards Sophos' direction and got down on his knees. "Minister Sophos, wait!!! Are you the minister in charge of disassembly and recovery?"
The blue anti-virus slowly bowed before the minister and smiled, "I knew I would find you here!!! Maria Robotnik sent me here to Sin Serials, just to find you!"
But the minister became furious, "So... that evil b*h of a hedgehog revealed my location?!!!... Remind me to revoke all of her private lessons of cyber security, for what she did!!!" The minister growled.
But Void slowly got back to his feet and began to walk towards the minister, "Minister Sophos!! Please!!! Do not revoke Maria's training!!! She has already learnt so much regarding computers, viruses, and everything!!!"
Void then bowed down towards the blue minister once again as he began to cry, "Please!!!"
But Sophos objected, "Then what in the f*k are these girls doing here?!!! This isn't a f*ng playground! This is a god damn warzone; for Vindock sakes!!!"
Just then, without warning; SNT slowly walked towards Void and began to feel light-headed.
She reached out her hand and muttered, "Void... Oh Void... Help me... I don't feel so good..."
Suddenly, the chimera collapsed in Void's arms, as he caught her just in time. "SNT!!! Oh no... SNT! Please speak to me, wake up! Wake up!!!"
Both Catney and Saki ran to check on SNT to make sure she was okay.
"SNT!!! Are you okay?!!" Catney shouted as she began to shed a tear.
"Sh*t, she's infected!" Saki chimed in. The Sock then looked up towards the minister, "Are you just gonna f*ng stand there or are you gonna help us? Pick one!!!" Saki yelled.
Terrified, Void held onto SNT's body and walked closer towards Sophos, "Minister Sophos, please help us!!! SNT and I have been infected by the Spider virus. And Maria told us that only you can disassemble us, and remove the virus from memory... Will you please help us?!!!"
Sophos gave Void a stern look before slowly closing his eyes.
The minister then opened his eyes and responded, "Fine! I shall disinfect you both!!! But once I'm done with you, I command you to leave and never return! Do we understand each other?!!"
Sophos then raised his arm out, gesturing the guests to follow him to the closest room near him.
Without hesitating, Catney grabbed SNT while Saki grabbed Void. Both girls then slowly carried the infected pair up the stairs to meet with the injured minister.
Once the guests entered the room, they came across a computer lab filled with neon desks and the best state of the art computers imaginable.
As Minister Sophos turned on the closest computer near him, he pulled up 2 hospital beds and gestured for the girls to place the infected onto the bed.
Once Catney and Saki placed the chimera and the robot on the beds, Sophos grabbed 2 I.V filter tubes and injected one for each patient.
Sophos then navigated on the desktop and opened up a software called Macrosoft Visual Studio.
He then typed on the keyboard to search for his disassembly script, and he finally activated it by pressing the enter button.
As both Void and SNT were slowly starting to become disinfected, Sophos turned his attention towards both Catney and Saki, "You're both lucky the spider virus didn't infect the both of you! If it did, you both would have been paralyzed indefinitely."
As Saki took a deep breath to sigh in relief, Catney walked towards the beds and began to pet SNT's quills, "Are they both gonna be okay?"
But Sophos quickly raised his arm, and shoved Catney back a few feet, "Rule #1!!! NEVER rush a disassembly and recovery task!!! By doing so, you run the risk of corrupting your system; as well as permanent data loss."
"Geez... minister! Calm down!" Catney whined, Saki then walked up to Catney and carried her back to her feet.
But suddenly, Saki started having a revelation, "Hold on! Wait a goddamn minute!!! Corrupting the system and permanent data loss... Is that what happened to those spider looking robots, back at Team 182?!!!"
"But of course." Sophos agreed, "Maria's incompetence, as well as her inexperience of disassembling her drones, has led to the downfall of Team 182. Thus, Maria had made these drones vulnerable to intrusion attacks like what just happened hours ago. Need I say more?"
"True, but we cannot forget that Maria was also blackmailed by Tarantula to create more robots for him, or else he was gonna kill our friends!" Catney chimed in,
But just then, Sophos snapped. He drew his sword and aimed it at Catney's neck. "How dare you speak of that filth's name!!! Now tell me who you're working for before I disassemble YOUR data!!!"
But suddenly, Saki stepped in to protect her sister.
"J*s f*ng ch*t!!! Control yourself!!!" Saki shouted, "Geez... you're probably the most edgiest minister we've ever seen..."
But Catney slowly moved Saki aside, "We were sent by Minister Norton to stop an evil virus syndicate who call themselves Content Control." The cat girls explained.
Minister Sophos slowly lowered his sword and turned his back on the girls while looking up at the ceiling in anger.
"Grrr... Norton, that piece of sh*t must be demanding for my letter of resignation by now." Sophos growled, "But what the hell does he want with me?!!!"
Sophos then turned around, and began to ask the girls, "Alright then... what do you children know about Content Control?!"
But before the girls could answer, both Void and SNT slowly sat up from their beds and the blue anti-virus began to explain, "Well... let's see. The last thing I remembered from the U.A.V, was that Content Control was once a company that was using pirated software to run their business.
Once you found out about all this, you ordered minister Norton to deactivate and remove all of their illegal serial codes from their registry keys. After the incident, the U.A.V had brought up new rules and regulations... But unfortunately, it caused so much controversy."
"Yes... And then I got harassed by Content Control after they sent their Parrot virus after me. A virus that was specifically designed to insult me; to the point that they forced me into exile for the rest of my days. And ever since then, I never got involved with politics or U.A.V business; simply because of them!" Sophos chimed in.
Sophos then drew his sword; while walking up to the blue robot and giving him a stern look, "And now you wish to shut Content Control down, is that correct?!"
Void slowly bowed his head in acknowledgement, "Yes minister. After all, they kidnapped most of our friends, a couple of programmers and ministers of the U.A.V, as well as every last employee of Macrosoft Corporation."
Realizing how much damage was done, Sophos bowed his head in shame, "Listen Void... I want to apologize for not being there to teach you back at the U.A.V academy. I hope you can forgive me."
Void slowly got up from his bed, and began to approach the minister, "Sophos... I understand. You had your reasons... and for that, I accept your apology."
He then gave minister Sophos a hug.
But the minister didn't hug back. Instead; he grabbed Void and shoved him to the side as he walked towards the room's exit.
As the minister was walking, Void walked up to SNT and began to hold her hand, "Hey SNT." The anti-virus whispered, "Are you alright?"
SNT slowly opened her eyes and whispered back, "Yeah, I'm fine. Are you hurt?"
"I'm not hurt SNT." The anti-virus responded as he got closer, "Hey SNT, do you suppose we'll ever see Tarantula again, any time soon?"
SNT slowly held onto Void's face and giggled, "No need to worry Void. I already took care of him earlier."
The infected pair then hugged each other, "Thank you for taking care of him SNT... I really do appreciate it." Void said with a smile.
SNT smiled back; but on the inside, she was unsure if Tarantula was still alive.
Meanwhile, as minister Sophos was approaching the exit, he looked towards the ceiling before turning his attention to the heroes, "So... minister Norton sends forth a couple of kids to destroy one of the most insidious companies in the world... But I believe that none of you will ever stand a chance against Content Control."
And unfortunately; minister Sophos was right. Unbeknownst to the heroes, Content Control was slowly approaching the room where Sophos was located with their weapons ready.
What the heroes never realized was that Sophos and Content Control share the same monastery. And that both Sophos and Content Control HQ were both operating a few rooms apart from each other.
Sophos then turned around and aimed his sword towards their direction, "Unless you have the necessary tools, to which; only I can teach you."
"But minister, Saki and I have only ever studied the basics of cyber security! How do you expect 2 novices to learn the advanced stuff so quickly?!!!" Catney whined,
Sophos once again snapped, "Listen to me you little b*h! Look at my f*ng eyes when I'm talking to you!!! Do you want to save your friends from Content Control?!!!"
SNT slowly got up from her bed and walked in front of the 2 girls. "Minister Sophos, please... we have to."
Sophos then lowered his sword, "Hmph... very well then."
The girls then hugged both Void and SNT happily. "Oh thank you, thank you, thank you!" SNT shouted excitingly.
But all of a sudden, minister Sophos began walking towards the exit once again, and pulled out a walkie talkie from his belt, "Code 403, I repeat, code 403. The U.A.V trainees are here, I repeat, the U.A.V trainees have arrived."
After the minister put away the walkie talkie, the minister turned around and smirked as the moderators of Content Control suddenly barged into the room with their guns drawn; surrounding the heroes.
"God dammit!!! Are you f*ng serious right now?!!!" Saki shouted as she and Catney hugged each other looking terrified.
"Minister Sophos!!! How could you?!!! We thought we could trust you!!!" Catney cried,
"Look children... Content Control recently came to me, and proposed a deal. If I can deliver the blueberry boy to Content Control, I will finally be free from any further harassment sent forth by Content Control."
Void was furious, "Not cool Sophos!! We trusted you!!! Maria trusted you!! You're a traitor!!! You dare go against the United Anti-Virus movement's rules and regulations just for your own personal gain?!!! HAVE YOU NO SHAME?!!!" Void questioned as he tried to approach Sophos, but was stopped by Content Control's weapons aimed at his chest.
"Forgive me Void... I had no choice. But I will not spend the rest of my life in exile! Away from what I enjoy doing for a living!!! NOT THIS TIME!!!" the treacherous minister roared,
"AWW MAN!!! YOU F*NG B*H!!!" Saki yelled,
"I hope your blue screen is long and painful!!!" SNT shouted,
"Sorry children. But I'm afraid that you all have overstayed your welcome. Content Control, remove these children from the premises immediately, and take them away!!!" Minister Sophos ordered.
As Void, SNT and the girls hugged each other looking terrified, Content Control got closer and closer until there was nowhere else for the heroes to hide.
"With pleasure!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!" Big Old Tori laughed, as he entered the room with a couple of D.R.A.C units that were carrying ropes in their disembodied hands.
