RMZX hopped back into his small ship that he had left behind when he had last left. Thankfully, it ran on a non-obscure power source and was able to run fine. He hitched the Gawain to the back of it and headed back to his house.
Once back, he put Akai's Backup in her capsule and closed it. He went to grab a wrench and swung it at the Gawain a few times, not really doing anything to it but he felt it was necessary to relieve some of the pain the machine had caused him.
He recharged his ship, and went through finding some weapons from the miscellaneous scrap strewn about, inside the scrap, there was another Lightcorp capsule with a note attached.
"DON'T [tornado fang] IT UP THIS TIME. -A 'FRIEND' P.S. I'M WATCHING YOU."
Instead of opening it and allowing the same problem to happen again, he left it shut and continued to grab more weapons to graft to his ship, thankfully it was a modular design, so there wasn't much in the way of complicated wirework or that stuff.
Shortly after finishing, RMZX heard a noise. He checked the capsule to see if it had opened by accident, but it hadn't. Being the superstitious type, RMZX wrote a note and pasted it over the mysterious note.
"[tornado fang] YOU, [dark hold]. WHY DOES THIS MATTER TO YOU ANYWAY?"
A mysterious hooded person then appeared, and attacked RMZX.
???? - "Because... You matter much more to this than you think you do!"
RMZX - "Matter to what?"
???? - "The war you [tornado fang]ing dolt!"
RMZX - "Okay, what does my having a robot who loves me have ANYTHING to do with the war?"
???? - "That Robot gave you annoyance, with that annoyance you joined the Resistance, the robot then gave you anger which caused you to have a Near-Death experience, That Near Death Experience allowed you to mature, and has given you the potential to gain power, then it gave you happiness, which you need to be able to activate that power! Now that the Robot has died, you are sad, you cannot activate your power and become an important part of the war without that power, so I'm FORCING you to take the New Robot and install the old one's backup."
RMZX - "I'm NOT going to do that."
???? - "You would be wise to do so, its not wise to waste my time."
RMZX - "Oh, isn't it? You're wasting my [tornado fang]ing time, and you broke into my [tornado fang]ing house, its amazing that you found two completely perfect robots from a defunct company that has since been swallowed up by the guy who the resistance is fighting. You either must be some [tornado fang]ing Time Traveler, A guy from the other side pissed off with what's going on, or a guy from the other side trying to get me to destroy the resistance from the inside, whatever it is you are, I don't [tornado fang]ing care. I don't want anything to do with you, and I'm not going to bring Akai back just to have a risk of losing her again."
???? - "Its not like you could lose her anyway, I can always get more capsules and you would have her regardless if she died 100 times."
RMZX - "By that point, it wouldn't be love anymore, her backup chip wouldn't hold for that long, she would just be a goddamned puppet."
???? - "Very well, do what you wish, but I'll be back. And you'll be sorry when I do come back, because I'll force you to my will."
The mysterious being disappeared.
RMZX left and headed back to the Sexstation.
(So I now have the option of bringing back Akai again, but I don't think I will. When I originally decided to add her into the story, it was because I felt that RMZX had to have a romantic foil, and as it seemed like I was always doing this, I intentionally decided to have RMZX be a dick to her to try and make this a different sort of relationship than the previous RMZX and Kallen/RMZX and Stocking relationships that were "Unconditional love from both sides", so I instead had "Unconditional love that is one-sided and not returned.", then we had "Two people who just sort of hate eachother" that morphed into the normal "Unconditional love" after the first time I had almost killed Akai. I felt that didn't really bring anything interesting to the table, and since I've never been in a Romantic relationship, can't really write well for a female since I don't have much experience with them. So while I planned on having her eventually be the brains of the RMZX/Akai Relationship, I felt it best just to get rid of her. But I felt that I did so in a way that wasn't completely [parasitic bomb], with the possibility that she could potentially come back. So, thanks Akai, Rest easy.
I have really got to not try and force love interests on Poor RMZX. He's been through enough [parasitic bomb].)
(Edit: Made some more changes, I don't really feel good about introducing a character for no [tornado fang]ing reason so I decided to keep him around instead of killing him, chances are I'll change his Identity too.)
