(Okay. I'm taking a huge gamble here. This is basically one of the routes I considered to take with Tron and The Maiden. I simply want to see how this plays out.)
Tron looked at the PDA, confirming he can actually use the thing, and nodded towards Wily.
Tron - "Very well, Lord Wily. I shall seek out the intruder."
With that said, He left the control room and set his sights on a certain location on the PDA.
Suddenly the Maiden squealed and clapped her hands three times.
Tron - "What now?"
The Maiden - "It's almost like we are detectives or something. So exciting."
Tron - "This is exciting to you?"
The Maiden - "But of course. You have no idea how boring it is to just follow Observer's orders all day, everyday."
Tron for a brief moment actually felt bad for The Maiden. He knew what and who The Observer was. Being around him was a maddening experience, because on the rare occasion he didn't speak in stupid riddles, he kept using a power which allows him to observe everything that exists on certain worlds. Anybody who experiences this power being used, is left with not even a scrap of his sanity. Although The Maiden, along with her brother The Destroyer were demi-gods and posessed certain levels of immunity against "The Observer's powers, it still didn't change the fact, they spent crapload of time with him. Certainly more than they both would ever want.
Tron - "Since I'm providing entertainment to you, then perhaps you can help me out with something?"
The Maiden - "Oh?"
Tron - "You posess Ability of Knowledge, right? So upon looking at my current body and the crystal... do you think I could enhance my powers more?"
The Maiden - "I thought you wanted to get a stronger body?"
Tron - "Yes. But at the moment I don't believe it will happen. So..."
The Maiden - "Well... upon closer inspection, it would seem that if you were to merge the crystal with your soul, just like I did with myself now... you could get a significant power boost, and who knows. Maybe something extra too."
Tron - "Wouldn't that put an extreme pressure on this body?"
The Maiden - "Not really. I can sense it, you have been inhabiting this body for so long, that now it doesn't even feel human. So I guess you could try it, if anything happens, I will eject the crystal from you. Since well, you know, I want you to entertain me and not die."
Tron stopped and began to consider.
Tron - "It's obvious The Maiden, no, The Observer is up to something strange. If he were to interfere with me, I will need to get stronger. Even though I have no real reason to trust her, I guess I can at least try, and if what she says is true then..."
Tron - "Very well. I'm counting on you, goddammit, so in case something happens you better help me out."
The Maiden giggled.
The Maiden - "Of course."
The Crystal began to shine and with one quick and swift move, Tron stabbed himself in the chest with it.
It slowly disappeared inside Tron's body, without leaving any kind of wound.
And then...
* * *
Wily who barely managed to sit down in his chair, suddenly fell down along with it when he heard a terrible scream. As the entirety of the WDS began to shake. That coupled with lights blinking got the scientist terribly worried.
Wily II - "What in blazes is going on now? The Intruder, or?"
* * *
The pain was horrible. Almost unbearable.
Tron kept screaming as his body emanated dark and light energies. But he wasn't the only one in pain.
The Maiden who was merged with Tron's soul, began feel the effects of, whatever was happening to Tron right now. Hence, the Light Energy.
The long hallway leading from the Control room began to slowly fall apart under the pressure of the coliding energies.
This lasted quite a moment, until finally The energies exploded, making a giant hole in the hallway and nearby rooms.
* * *
Wily along with his robots arrived a bit after the explosion.
Wily II - "What the hell happened here?!"
The smoke and dust, hasn't yet fully settled, as such, it was hard to tell what exactly happened, but after a moment... a laugh was heard.
It was a laugh which didn't sound like it came from a human being. It was as if two layers of different voices spoke at once.
??? - "Behind you, Lord Wily."
Wily and the robots turned around. What stood before them now, was... someone or something, naked. It had the physique of a very curvy woman however, the chest seemed to be more like that of a man. It had a beautiful yet, vicious face with pitch black eyes and red pupils. Its hair was long and white on left side, black on the right side... and lastly, its teeth were pointy.
Wily II - "Who in the hell are you?!"
??? - "Did you already forget me, Lorrrrd Wily? It is I, Tron!"
Wily II - "What?! That is ridiculous! That guy doesn't look like... like... like you."
??? - "Is that so?"
The thing cackled maniacally.
??? - "I guess you are right. The being know as Tron no longer exists. I am his evolution, the next natural step... but... my powers are still not in their zenith. I still require your help, Lord Wily. Just as Tron did."
Wily II - "And why should I help you?"
??? - "The terms of your pact with Tron still stand. You help me get to my full power, and I shall help you win this war. By any means necessary."
Wily began to consider. On one hand, if what this... thing says is true, then he is better off having it as an ally. But, at the same time, he couldn't shake off the horrible feeling which this being's presence filled him with.
* * *
His head hurt and he felt like absolute crap.
Kharaxel groaned as he began to get up from the ground. After carefully examining his surroundings, he realized he's in a city very familiar to him. After a moment however, he also realized that he's actually in control of himself and his body.
Kharaxel - "What the heck? Is he... is he gone?"
(In this current state, mister/miss three question marks should have enough power to mess up some [parasitic bomb] in the future. So just in case it never gets its true power going on, it can now still hold its own against Sakura or PB or whoever. Also, I've decided to separate Kharaxel from that thing. There is a reason for the separation though...
Feel free to bash me for this.)
