Topic: Mega Man Data Cancelled.

[Flok]

This is the revival of Mega Man Data, an ongoing fan fiction about a head scientist who is about to experience the cruel present, and write history afterward. I will slowly start to post the old chapters, and after that, continue on with the story. Without further undo, I proudly present:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

**Warning, long prologue!**

In late 22XX, man and machine are still heavy at war. The Maverick war is as a fact an ongoing long conflict for freedom, justice, safety and peace, to name a few reasons. About 100 years ago, infected Reploids called Mavericks were successfully wiped out and got extinct because the core of this provoking problem, the Sigma virus, was eliminated finally. The virus which was inside Sigma, an infamous rebel leader against humanity, was cornered and deleted by a successful antivirus program called Replenish.

Not one, but 10 copies of this program were used together at the same time during this process, when human scientists ordered Maverick hunters to take Sigma’s body found on the Moon to one of their Reploid laboratories so that the problem could hopefully be solved. Replenish was the result of a hard working scientist team studying the various viruses found during this terrible war, a team which was working for a sister company of the company who produced the first 2nd generation Reploids, Illusional Dergur Corporation, or IDC.

Before Replenish eliminated the Sigma virus, it was taken through large amounts of tests and challenges first in order for the humans to be certain that this had the potential to end the war. Several of these challenges was successfully deleting minor viruses such as the Nightmare virus from Mega Man X6, or implementing a semi different working Replenish inside Reploids who were currently produced, so that they would be immune to the known viruses from the start. These Reploids are also known as the 2nd generation Reploids.

Another challenge for Replenish was refreshing certain Reploids who were heavily infected, but sometimes not necessary berserk at the moment, such as the legendary Maverick hunter Zero, by upgrading their inner systems and protecting their hosts at the same time against errors and viruses as well. A negative side effect of implementing Replenish inside these subjects was that the host would be involved into an inevitable memory loss, or a lost of their past. This side effect resulted into very few refreshing operations during the prime age of the 2nd generation Reploids, making Replenish not truly recognizable until it eliminated the Sigma virus at the end of the rebellion of infected Reploids.

But perhaps the greatest disadvantage of Replenish was that producing the program inside metal chips involved using a great amount of electricity and magnetism as well, which resulted into a global energy crisis during the 2nd part of the ongoing Maverick war; the 2nd generation Reploids. Only a few companies such as Dergur Corporation during that time where legally licensed by the Maverick Hunter Headquarters to harvest from giant energy zones. Nevertheless, in the end, Replenish solved many troublesome problems, but also introduced the world to a new terrible problem; the Mavericks who were not infected but still rebelled against humanity and fellow Reploids and Maverick Hunters could now obtain the Replenish chips and use them in wrong ways.

One infamous wrong one was Lumine, who was a member from Dergur Corporation in the past. He somehow stole Sigma’s 2nd generation Reploids with the Sigma virus implemented inside them(Sigma himself stole the Reploids from IDC) and convinced them that they are the next step for Reploid evolution. Sigma himself was rumored to have implemented his DNA of the Sigma virus inside the Reploids without any support.

Suprisingly although Lumine was in fact another prototype of the 2nd generation Reploids, he opposed humanity and old generation Reploids alike after being inspired by Replenish, as Lumine himself said once during his short lived sudden return, mind controlling Axl in some way, directly talking to Zero and legendary Maverick Hunter X. But after Lumine’s act, numerous others followed after, each of them bringing more damage to the world than the last one. It was not until the latest wave of 2nd generation Reploids damaging the world who were during this time now officially called Replenloids that the Maverick Hunters Headquarters decided that it was time for the extinction of the Replenloids.

Illusional Dergur Corporation then replied with threatening to destroy the energy zones if production of Replenloids was made illegal by the MH HQ. Headquarters had no choice then but to label IDC as a Maverick Company and thus the Replenloids war started, the 2nd branch of the Maverick war , around half 22XX.

And now after 40 long years the founder and leader of IDC, Dergur, was killed in action, and the downfall of IDC was now a fact. Replenloids were now finally discontinued, by destroying the opposing Replenloids as well as stopping all the factories of IDC who were mass producing Replenish chips and 2nd generation Reploids. For a moment, a feeling of peace was felt through Maverick Hunters, Reploids and humans alike, but then a sudden twist occurred, a frightening one to be exact.

It seemed that Dergur left everyone a final gift after his death by unleashing many copies of Sigma’s virus worldwide and thus made almost 75% of all Reploids on Earth infected and labeled as Mavericks. Even if Replenish was still legal, it would had not stopped the massive amounts of the Sigma virus at once, which was much more than at the Eurasia incident in Mega Man X5. Since discontinuation of Replenish was now a fact and the beings on Earth would not go back to Replenish again in fear of a second Replenloid war, the sister company, which still existed, decided to start on a new project to stop the Mavericks. This time, the end result would had to be able to erase any virus, as well as many amounts of the Sigma virus at once, update infected systems against viruses and errors, while also not creating an energy crisis or memory loss. At the same time, Zero’s body was carefully getting researched by human scientists and a certain scientist, the female ancestor of Ciel, discovered Zero’s original virus and was successful into making an anti virus program out of the virus, called the Sigma Antibody program. With it, project Elpis was now begun and the creation of the Mother Elf had finally started. It was a sign of hope during these times when almost every place in the world was now horrible infected with thousands of Mavericks.

-----
UPDATE.

Mnemonic CFM Tank Menu has been added at the beginning of page 4. Inside of it, you will find additional information for you to read about, which contains objects found throughout the story. There will be updates whenever possible, and in the story itself, Erstrund would also receive these new profiles, but I, the writer of Mega Man Data, will not implement most of the new profiles inside the story. You could consider it as a bonus for reading my story, or as a gameplay element, sort of like Secret Disks from the Zero serie, if this happened to be a game. However, some profiles will still be used in the story, so you can look forward to that. And lastly, profiles who already exist can suddenly grow larger as the story gets more, how should I say, thick. Look forward to it.

[Dr. Wily II]

Great to see this fanfic again...
Can't wait to read the new chapters.

[Flok]

Thanks for the input, I can tell already that Rockman Perfect Memories is more active in their fan creations room than Atomic Fire these days.

Personally, like pretty much any story I have known about, the first few chapters aren't really that interesting yet(atleast unlike the latest ones), but they will be needed to understand the story better in the future. You will also literally notice how the chapters grow with each new one emerging, and I am dead [hard knuckle]ing serious about that.(Sorry, the AVGN suddenly popped up in my head). The story really is about to boil good at around chapter 8, but that's just me.

Also, I have a weakness for not being able to tell the reader on how most of my characters look like(except for Maverick characters or simply just characters which are easy to describe), so hopefully that won't disturb you. I have an image in my head on about how they look like though.

And now I present you, the first chapter of Mega Man Data.

Chapter 1: Inbetween the seeds of chaos

In a busy urban street, inside a building where Reploids could step inside sealed capsules and sleep like human beings, one of the Reploids awakens and is released by a female Reploid upon detecting that his sleep was over.

Female worker: And sir? Did you experience any kinds of dreams during your sleeping journey?

???: Ohh…I think I got a headache…

Female worker: What!? But that only happens a very few times inside our capsules, almost impossible to be precise. Only a handful of Reploids have a certain inner system inside them that makes them vulnerable to painful feelings like your headache. I am so sorry sir.

???: Don’t worry, it isn’t your fault, I am just not feeling so well. I better stand straight again, and walk back to my work.

Female worker: Ohh…

When the Reploid almost steps outside the building:

Female worker: Sir, could you please left us a message and tell us your opinion about our sealed capsules?

???: How about I tell it to you right now?

The Reploid walks back to the worker, and faces her in the eyes:

???: It was an excellent journey, lady. Although my headache is still active, my body itself seems to be…a lot more powered up than before the journey. I thank you for that.

Female worker: You’re welcome, sir. We are happy with the many positive comments we get from individuals.

???: Please lady, stop calling me sir, and start calling me Dr.Erstrund next time, heh.

Female worker: I knew already who you were, mister, but because you looked so noble to me, I started to call you sir instead. Dr.Erstrund , famous for revolutionary ways of collecting information, I can’t believe a gentleman like you would be here.

Erstrund: Thanks, I appreciate your respect towards me, but now I must go to work. May we see each other again next time.

Erstrund walked outside and after walking for a while was surprised by a riot at the other side of the street.

Civilian Reploid: What is this? Mechaniloids going berserk inside a street like this? Has a Sigma virus reached all the way into here already?

Maverick Hunter: There is nothing to see here, fellow civilians. It was just an accident, it has nothing to do with a virus!

The Maverick Hunter together with more MH’s then destroyed the group of Mechaniloids which was destroying several cars in the street.

( and )=A character thinking

Erstrund: (An accident? It can’t be that simple. Recently our city has been attacked by Mechaniloids more times than ever.)

After order had returned, Erstrund walked on to his work, but not before suddenly a flying Mechaniloid made pictures of the riot and then flew to Erstrund to give him a memory chip:

Erstrund: I thank you for that, IS#....let’s see…531.

15 minutes later, Erstrund finally was at the entrance of his work, went inside the gigantic building and took an automatic elevator to a high floor of the building, floor 14. Upon getting out of the elevator, he was greeted by fellow scientists who were busy with many things. There were both human and Reploid scientists. And the only Reploid guard of this floor, Danny, confronted Erstrund and said:

Danny: Hey doc! Did you bring the battery for me?

Erstrund: Oh no, I forgot about that one, must be because of my headache.

Danny: Ah that’s ok, but could you bring the battery to me before it’s evening? I will need it to transport your company’s memory chips to Yonk Facilities as you knew already.

Erstrund: Yes, I know it is important, after I have placed this memory chip I got here inside the safe with the other memory chips I will go buy your battery.

Danny: Thanks, anything else you wish to tell me? What are you working on right now anyway?

Erstrund: That is a secret for now. But it will be another beautiful invention, I can tell you that already.

Danny: Awesome, that’s my Erstrund!

Erstrund then left his company again, and started walking to the shop which sold energy batteries, straight from the energy zones which IDC harvested a long time ago. Danny then walked to a male human scientist inside floor 14.

Danny: How is the biography of the big E shaping?

Male human scientist: It is almost done, and the other scientists are already done with making biographies of the other people inside our company.

Danny: Every other biography is already done?

Male human scientist: Yes Danny.

Danny: Jeez, this must be a big biography then. Can I help you out with it?

Male human scientist: No thanks, I am almost done.

Danny: Then I will read big R’s biography first. Where is it?

Male human scientist: Danny, didn’t Dr.Erstrund tell you? The biographies are strictly forbidden to observe at the moment, and will become viewable once Dr.Erstrund is finished with his next invention! Until then, the biographies are multiple password protected.

Danny: Aw man, don’t be greedy about it!

Male human scientist: You are the one being greedy about it. Don’t worry, soon Yonk City and the rest of the world will be very glad with what we are creating here.

Danny then went back to patrolling around floor 14. Since every other biography was done already, and the only biography left was big E’s, it wasn’t really crowded inside floor 14 today.

By then, Erstrund was inside the battery shop and bought 1 battery and an extra battery in case of a problem with his Zennies. When he walked outside this time, he was shocked at what he saw next, an enigmatic, and dangerous looking Reploid was standing on the road of the street and blocked the car movement on both sides, together with a giant group of Mechaniloids proceeding to attack everything moving in their sight.

Erstrund: What in the world…

[Dr. Wily II]

W00t! The first chapter's up.
It's great to read it again.

[VirusChris]

It's good to read this fanfic again I missed it.

[Flok]

Love you guys, heh.

[spoiler]-Actually, there never was a true feeling of peace found yet in this story, not even in the prologue. If you read the prologue carefully, you would know that the first branch of the Maverick War is now actually happening all over again, only this time, all over the world, with 75% Reploids infected. So after the Replenloids War ended, the Maverick War came back for "round 2".

-Lucky for you, chapter 2 contains a small bit of description about Dr.Erstrund. About how he would look like as a sprite, consider one of the older civilian's found in Area C in Mega Man ZX.

Chapter 2: Choice

Suddenly above the skies, 3 giant transport airplanes from Maverick Hunter Headquarters were about to land in the area where the dangerous looking Reploid and his Mechaniloids were. As Erstrund was surprised for the second time in a short while, the enigmatic Reploid suddenly spoke to the people around him:

???: Hear me, citizens of Yonk City! Was it Yonk’s dream you were chasing after, and thus told Dergur the truth to the world, or was it because you feared at what we at IDC were creating!? I demand an answer and apologies from your higher autorities!

After observing the transport airplanes, Erstrund was listening carefully to what the Reploid was saying. The Reploid started to look around, while his Mechaniloids were still on a rampage. Some Reploid civilians ran away scared while suddenly the Reploid looked at Erstrund straight in the eyes. Erstrund got frightened and felt nervous.

???: You, over there, with the glasses and beard! You look intelligent. Tell me, what would you do if you were forced to start a war directly against your own allies? What is your opinion about that!?

Erstrund: What? But I don’t understand what you are talking about!

???: ILLUSIONAL DERGUR CORPORATION AGAINST THE WORLD. REMEMBER YOUR HISTORY LESSON NOW, PUNK?

Erstrund: IDC? A war against your own allies? But that is absurd!

???: EXACTLY! But the situation IDC was in, and the countless of problems us and Dergur were experiencing around that time, and then that Reploid taking advantage of our situation…wresting us in front of our eyes! UNACCEPTABLE!

The Reploid suddenly roared in anger and showed everyone his weapon: Echo sound waves were quickly running against a nearby building, and in mere seconds later, while the Reploid was this time making a shrieking voice, the whole building crashed down on the street, but in an odd and very slow way, as if the parts made out of the building were falling down like feathers. A big explosion appeared when this happened.

Erstrund: (OUCH THAT NOISE!!! Such destructive power, here in Yonk City, the Maverick Hunters must be warned immediately.)

The Mechaniloids were now done with destroying all the nearby cars. They proceeded to destroy the buildings next. Erstrund took note of this.

Erstrund: Why are you causing so much damage? What is your reason?

The Reploid seemed to calm down again and said:

???: I have enough of reasons for this, trust me. Atleast you, out of the many traitors I have seen here in Yonk City, seems to have a fair opinion about this.

Erstrund: Really? But then I still cannot believe that violence is the option for whatever reasons you have.

???: When the enemy is unknown, and you are desperate of finding out who it is, you would do the same.

*KABOOM*

This time, both Erstrund and the Reploid looked surprised at the direction they heard the explosion. It seemed that some Mechaniloids had exploded just now.

???: You are surrounded now, Delaying Platypus!

Maverick Hunter: Quick! Capture him before he can transfer out!

Delaying Platypus: Pah, I was found so quickly already? And by none other than the one with limitless potential…hahaha! I will enjoy watching the movements of our enemies soon to get out of hand. For now, farewell.

DP then teleported, before several Maverick Hunters could capture him. The MH’s then changed their sight to the remaining Mechaniloids, and proceeded to destroy them. One Maverick Hunter remained at the destroyed building though. Erstrund looked at him curiously. He looked very familiar to him. A well armored, Maverick Hunter was standing before him, almost completely made out of the color blue. The MH then saw Erstrund and gave a face almost as if he wanted to say how sorry he was for forgetting about the danger Erstrund was in.

???: Pardon me, I am just a bit frustrated that I let him escape. I’m glad you are ok though.

Erstrund: Could it be…?

Erstrund walked closer to the Maverick Hunter.

???: Mister?

Erstrund: …X?

X: That’s right.

Erstrund: So, you are the world famous Maverick Hunter…

X: Please, calm down. I want you to take care of yourself now. Rest assured, we are here now to protect civilians like you.

Erstund: Yes… everything went so fast for me, my opinion was asked…by him...I wonder if I answered correctly?

X: It is not your fault for this mess, remember that. Delaying Platypus just wanted to hear some sympathy from a fellow Reploid, sympathy he looked a long time for.

Erstrund: So, is he a Maverick?

X: No, a Replenloid.

Erstrund: What!?

X: Quiet please, or else other civilians will hear us. This is a secret mission my unit is in.

Erstrund: But why did you tell me then?

X: Dr.Erstrund. I know you have a very important meeting soon. Our headquarters was well informed by Yonk Facilities’s president.

Erstrund: So you know about me already… But of course, an organization like yours has to be informed about what we at Yonk Facilities will discuss about soon.

X: Dr.Erstrund, all I wish upon now is your safety and your confirmation of what you had just heard from me. Do not try to understand what Delaying Platypus was talking about. It was meant to confuse his enemies and be forced to take a side.

Erstrund: I see.

Maverick Hunter A: Commander X, reporting in!

X: You may speak.

Maverick Hunter A: Zero civilians are wounded as far as we know. Damage report: about 20 cars are totally destroyed and 1 building has crashed down! The road itself has taken some minor cracks, and several trees have burned out because of the explosions. Should I request backup from headquarters to repair the damage?

X: Immediately, please.

Maverick Hunter A: Yes sir, affirmative!

X turned to Erstrund again:

X: Currently we are chasing Delaying Platypus and 7 others because as you might know, Replenloids were very dangerous in the past. In fact, all of them were pretty much corrupted for what they were in reality made for.

Erstrund: Yes, yes…

X: But perhaps a more important reason for chasing them is to interrogate them about our lost ally, Axl.

Erstrund: Axl? He is a prototype of these vile Replenloids right?

X: Correct, and one of the very, very few 2nd generation Reploids who fought on our side. He has been reported missing for almost 3 years now…

???: AAAAAAHH!

Maverick Hunter B: Commander X! Hurry, this way!

X and Erstrund did not hesitate and started running after MHB. When MHB took a corner, what X and Erstrund saw next was a giant Mechaniloid with many metallic tentacles holding 3 civilians, 2 of them human and 1 Reploid. Erstrund felt bad for them but then noticed something:

Erstrund: It’s that lady from the capsule building!

Civilian A: AH!

Civilian B: I’M STUCK!

Female worker: HELP ME!

X: Stand back, I will charge up my buster now!

Maverick Hunter B: Hurry commander! Those tentacles are giving them less, and less time to breath!

X then shot at a tentacle holding the first of the 3 civilians, but at a safe distance away from the civilian himself. The inner part of the tentacle was destroyed then and the outer part along with the civilians started falling down. X responded then with catching the falling tentacle with his bare hands and safely gave the still trapped civilian to nearby fellow Maverick Hunters, who then brought him away. The giant Mechaniloid answered with rage and then started to torture the remaining civilians.

Erstrund: NO!

Maverick Hunter B: SHOOT THEM DOWN FAST!

Atleast 5 Maverick Hunters then started shooting at the empty handed metallic tentacles, while X was preparing his buster for another shot.

Civilian B: Can’t move any more…

Female worker: UGH…I can’t breath…any longer …AAAAAAHHH!

The giant Mechaniloid gave the female reploid even more pain suddenly than the other civilian, which X saw happening.

X: No, STOP THAT!

X then shot at the tentacle holding the female Reploid, which also started falling down. When X once again catches a tentacle, it was too late for the last civilian already. The giant Mechaniloid had already used all of his remaining tentacles to crush the civilian.

Erstrund: NOO, HELP HIM!

Erstrund then grabbed a metallic bin nearby, and while Maverick Hunters were still shooting at the outer tentacles who had now crushed the civilian inside, he threw the bin at the Mechaniloid’s head with great strength. As X dashed away with the female worker still strapped, the Mechaniloid behind him started to fall down.

Maverick Hunter B: EVERYONE, RUN!!

The berserk Mechaniloid was then halfway destroyed, and lied on the road. His head was smacked hard by the metallic bin and the remaining tentacles fell down on the street and were still moving, like a pair of chickens without their heads. And then an explosion occurred.

Maverick Hunter A: …Murder report: 1 male civilian…

[Dr. Wily II]

Still darn that Mechaniloid... One civilian death...

[VirusChris]

Great emotional effect! Please continue this fanfic!

[Flok]

I will definitely continue the story after posting the old chapters.

[spoiler]

Chapter 3: When one has decided to act

After the painful incident, it suddenly started to rain. And the rain became heavier. Although Reploids feel the rain differently from humans, they are still designed to feel the rain on top of their heads and shoulders.

X: Okay that does it, I want this whole city to be cleaned and protected from any kinds of danger. Yonk City has it hard enough with the Maverick raids outside already.

As X was talking to his fellow MH’s, the female Reploid had become unconscious after the incident.

X: And I want Dr.Erstrund escorted to headquarters, away from this mess, right now.

Maverick Hunter A+B: Right away commander X!

Erstrund: No, wait! I still have to deliver these batteries to my own company, please!

X: Tell me your company’s name, and we shall deliver it.

Erstrund then gave the batteries to MH’s while saying:

Erstrund: It is called Herakto Inc. . Also, please tell everyone over there that I am in good condition and that I will return to them soon.

X: Alright, I will remember it. Now let’s get back to the airplanes. Let me carry you to the top, Dr.Erstrund.

Erstrund hesitated for a bit, but then let X carry him. X then wall jumped in between two buildings to reach the roof where the 3 transport airplanes were still awaiting orders. The other MH’s followed with wall jumping carefully while they carried both the first civilian and the female reploid. Meanwhile the rain was still falling down heavily. As X dashed to the planes and dropped Erstrund:

X: We are done here, Get us back to headquarters, and bring the wounded to the medical unit!

Maverick Hunter C: Commander X, what about the damage on the lower ground?

X: That is being taken care of already, isn’t that right?

X looked at MH A:

Maverick Hunter A: I have already made contact with headquarters, and told them of the current situation here in Yonk City!

X nodded, then said:

X: Enough, let us get inside the airplanes, before the human civilian catches a cold.

Erstrund: …You really are a hero, X…

X: Please Dr.Erstrund, no more comments. Relax.

Everyone then went inside the airplanes, except for a few MH’s who were scouting the rest of Yonk City for danger. The airplanes started flying upwards, each second faster than the last one. Inside the airplanes, everyone was silent, most of them tired, others were shocked and confused, such as Erstrund.

Meanwhile, back at Herakto Inc. , 2 Maverick Hunters of X’s unit walked inside the building with the batteries in their hands and noticed a Reploid sitting behind a computer, who looked like he was in a deep thought.

Maverick Hunter A: Hello there, we are here to deliver a package of batteries!

Working Reploid: Uh?

After WR took his hands off his head, WR looked surprised to MHA, thought for a few seconds, then said:

WR: Wait, can I see those batteries first?

Maverick Hunter B: Sure, here they are.

MHB put the package on the table, and the WR started opening the package. As he found the batteries, he carefully looked at the shape, type and size of them.

WR: Ah yes, of course! These are the batteries meant for our company’s train, to be more specific, they are for powering up various kinds of objects in the train. Only 3 objects in the train use these batteries: The iron electronic doors, the defense system and the control panel.

MHA: I see. Then, should we just leave the batteries at your desk?

WR: Ah well, I am kind of busy now, I need to complete my work here today.

MHB: Oh, to which location should we deliver it then?

WR: That would be floor 14 of this building, the engineer of the train resides there. It would be the best solution to ask him personally about the batteries.

MHB: Thank you for the information, we will take the elevator now.

WR: Ok, then I can go back to my important work again.

MHA: Good luck with it!

After WR showed a bright smile at the MH’s and the MH’s themselves took the elevator to floor 14 of Herakto Inc. with the batteries still inside the package, the MH’s took note of the unique designed elevator they were in:

MHA: Whoa, this elevator is awesome! Just look at those elegant designed call buttons, the bright red floor, and not to mention the view outside the building…

MHB: Yes indeed, it makes me happy to travel inside this elevator, it feels so positive.

MHA: Even the heavy rain outside still looks beautiful inside this elevator somehow.

And as the MH’s were having a good time talking to each other further on, the elevator stopped at floor 14 at last. The doors opened, and right in front of them was a Reploid about to enter the elevator. But then after seeing the MH’s the Reploid stopped moving. As he saw the package as well, he said with an cautious voice:

Danny: What are Maverick Hunters doing here? Is this a searching command, or is there another problem?

MHA: Relax, we are just here to deliver some batteries to the engineer of your company’s train.

Danny: Batteries? For Herakto Express?

Danny then thought back about Erstrund.

Danny: W-wait! Did something happen to Erstrund!?

MHB: Dr.Erstrund? Well yes, something did happen to him and a few other civilians outside. But we are to tell you and the rest of the company that he is in fine condition, and he is now safe in our hands.

Danny: Why is he with you then, and not here?

MHA: I’m sorry, we cannot tell you the reason for that. Our great commander X from the 17th unit is with him however, so he will definitely come back in one piece to you soon.

Danny: What!? X from Maverick Hunters Headquarters…if he is with him here in Yonk City, then something very important is now or will soon happen…

Danny looked with a face as if his mind was blowing at the fact that legendary Maverick Hunter X was nearby. Danny walked forth and back in floor 14, while he looked at the steel ground constantly. After he was done walking, he turned around to face the MH’s and said:

Danny: Alright, I understand the situation a bit. Now let me take those batteries please.

MHB: Actually, we would like to hand over the batteries to the engineer personally of, what was it’s name, Herakto Express?

MHA: Yeah, that way we can alert more people along the way about Dr.Erstrund.

MHB: Although we did forget about that working reploid downstairs, dude.

MHA: Oh, that’s right! We should not forget about him before we leave.

As Danny looked angered a bit while the MH’s were talking, he said:

Danny: I AM the engineer of Herakto Express!

MHA&B: What!?

Danny: Hah, surprised ya didn’t I? I might look like a rookie guard, but I am also an excellent engineer, specialized in transporting various materials!

Male scientist: Such arrogance.

Danny: Huh?

Danny and the MH’s then looked to their right and left side respectively, and saw a human male scientist. It was the same male scientist working on the so called “big E’s” biography.

Male scientist: Last time you delivered the packages of memory chips to Yonk Facilities, your train almost took a different course on the lonely mountain near the edge of Yonk City. A path to death itself, that is, the edge at the top of this huge mountain.

Danny: Aw Chester, that wasn’t my fault! The rails were just badly cleaned that day from metal which was attracted to them! Where were the cleaner Mechaniloids that day huh?

Chester: Probaply went Maverick, or were destroyed by Mavericks.

Danny: Well maybe their batteries were empty!

Chester: Nonsense, the IS’s would had took note of that problem then.

Danny: Well what if the IS’s were busy taking pictures at other places huh?

Chester: Then they must have taken pictures from Maverick individuals at other places. And while they were doing so, the cleaner Mechaniloids went either mad or got attacked, and the IS’s arrived too late then to take pictures of the damaged rails so that you could take note of the problem.

Danny: Jeez, what is it with you? You always blame Mavericks for problems.

Chester: Of course, there is no bigger group responsible to the problems of today.

Danny: That’s just an assuming and arrogant answer, damn it!

Chester: What the, don’t try to start a serious debate with me, smart ass!

MHA: That’s enough, both of you! Calm down, here, take these batteries, do your thing, and we shall leave this place, but not before alerting the other people of this building about Dr.Erstrund.

Chester: Don’t. I will take care of that. While Danny will install the batteries to the Herakto Express outside, I will alert my co-workers of the situation. I did overhear your whole conversation here you see.

MHB: Oh, thanks, that way we can go back to the other MH’s outside and support them.

Danny: Whatever, just give me those batteries now.

MHA then gave the package to Danny, and as the 2 MH’s and Danny were inside the elevator now, Chester said:

Chester: On behalf of Danny and me, I am sorry for starting a quarrel near you. Please accept our apologies.

MHB: It’s ok, it didn’t go out of control right? Good bye now.

Danny: Hmph!

As the 3 Reploids started traveling down to floor 1, somewhere else in Yonk City, in the sewers of it, Delaying Platypus was searching for something. He walked through many halls of the sewers where humans still dropped their waste like the ancient humans before them. DP heard the flowing, but dirty water next to him all the time, and in the distant he could hear a small explosion. DP immediately reacted and started running to it.

What he saw next was exactly what he was looking for. A fellow comrade of his, Tesla Eel, was lying on a bank, here in the sewers of Yonk City, and looked badly damaged of injuries.

Delaying Platypus: Eel!

DP ran closer to his comrade, and looked at his injuries.

Delaying Platypus: The explosion I heard just now, it came out of your body didn’t it?

???: That’s right.

DP surprisingly heard a familiar voice behind his back, and turned around to see who it was. Out of the shadows, a purple whitish looking Reploid stepped in the clear view of DP.

Delaying Platypus: …Chief.

Tesla Eel coughed then.

Tesla Eel: I told you Platypus, that he survived. I told you every single detail about it. And now he stands in front of you. Do you understand our destiny now?

Delaying Platypus: I can’t believe it, you still are alive…

???: Only by my loyal bodyguards could I survive the Maverick Hunters after they attacked me from every corner that day.

Tesla Eel then stood up a little, but he could barely move.

Tesla Eel: Even though Chief has always been extraordinary strong because of his near unbreakable shield of Diometal stones surrounding him, the pressure of the many opponents back then attacking him was too much.

???: Yes, my beloved Diometal stones, how I miss them. You could had used some of them just now to fend of the incoming attacks, Tesla Eel. But alas, our predators attacked you successfully.

Delaying Platypus: Which ones, Chief? The Maverick Hunters?

???: No, the other group…that Reploid’s group.

Delaying Platypus: I see. Then we must not waste time here any longer, and get back to the rest of our comrades.

Tesla Eel: Yes, I need to get fixed first before I can start fighting them again, they will pay next time, that’s for sure.

???: Then it is decided, even though we are pretty safe here inside these sewers for a little longer. That Reploid is still trying to erase all of the evidence, however we will not accept to die.

Delaying Platypus: Chief, let me answer just one more question. What exactly was it that revived you?

???: …My Identity Core.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please note, since many Maverick Hunters are minor characters, I have decided to name rank them by using letters. Different MH’s throughout the story will use the letter A and so on, but these will almost always be different MH’s than the MH’S with the letter A before them.

Dr. Wily II, unfortunately, the story won't go nothing like that at all. ;)

Chapter 4: Guideline

By now, the 3 MH transport airplanes are about to land inside MH Headquarters. After this fast ride, the airplanes now slowly and gently prepare to land. As this is happening, X faces Erstrund in the eyes and says:

X: We have arrived, Dr.Erstrund. Now it's time for me to leave again.

Erstrund: So, this is where we depart. I suppose you have it very busy with the Maverick raids these days X.

X sighs and looks upward to the ceiling of the airplane.

X: That's the truth. It's almost as if the past Maverick raids and riots were minor compared to these latest outbreaks.

He looked down again, and gestures with his hands while also talking:

X: Most of them have become even more violent than the infected Mavericks before them, before the Replenloid War. It's almost as if they improved the Sigma virus during research before it was released globally at Illusional Dergur Corporation. To counter this, Maverick Hunters have been constantly upgraded body and weapon wise by our engineers. We have enlisted the help of companies such as Yonk Facilities as well so that they could help our wounded Maverick Hunters for example. By now, Reploids talk and pronounce inside the protected cities about the outside world as the Infected Zone.

Erstrund: You Maverick Hunters have done a lot of good things for our world already. Sometimes it was a mistake, but it was pretty much always done for a better future. No one is perfect after all.

X: And scientists such as you continue to give the world hope. I am so glad that not every object in this world is meant for destruction, such as your Information Scanners, or IS's.

Erstrund gave a quick smile and scratched his neck:

Erstrund: Heh, that's right. They are doing a great job the moment they got released by Herakto Inc. .

X: But now it is really time to leave. Dr.Erstrund, be sure to visit the medical unit for an analysis just to make sure your inner systems are working correctly. Rest for a while, then take a flight back to Yonk City, and attend your meeting. Elly here will guide you through the Headquarters.

Erstrund: Who?

Suddenly the emergency exit of the airplane opened up and a female Reploid dropped inside.

Elly: Hiya X!

X: Hey Elly. Dr.Erstrund, I suppose this is your first visit to MH Headquarters. You will be glad Elly is with you, because this building is quite gigantic.

Elly: Oh, so I will need to guide this Reploid next?

Elly looked at Erstrund, and Erstrund in return looked at Elly. She was a yellowish Reploid with orange long hair and a big smile on her face.

Elly: Are you okay mister? How about you X?

X: I am fine, but I want you to take Dr.Erstrund to the medical unit and let him get an analysis there.

Elly: Okay!

Erstrund: Well, I am only a bit confused by what happened at Yonk City, nothing more.

X: It is part of the analysis to make the individual calm down and relaxed as well. Don't worry, you will feel great after the analysis.

Erstrund: Okay then. Please show me the way Elly.

Elly: Of course! Bye now X!

X: Dr.Erstrund, one more thing.

Erstrund turned around.

Erstrund: Yes?

X: I will look forward to the outcome of your meeting. Could you somehow contact me after the meeting?

Erstrund: I will try, X. I am not even sure what the outcome of the meeting will be...

X: Alright, I will hear it from you later. Goodbye.

Erstrund: Goodbye.

Erstrund and Elly then stepped out of the transport airplane and Elly then closed the emergency exit door after all of the wounded Maverick Hunters inside stepped outside of the airplane.

Elly: Okay, X is away on his next mission!

Erstrund: Heh yes.

They both started walking to a door were the wounded Maverick Hunters were gathering as well.

Elly: Well then, let me first unlock this door...

Elly walked through the MH's and pushed buttons on a small control panel. The door then opened and the MH's immediately walked inside with haste. Elly then looked at Erstrund and Erstrund was already walking towards her.

Elly: Okay mister! This is one of the many entrances to our building!

She then walked infront of Erstrund and he followed. Elly began using her voice like a real tour guide.

Elly: We are now inside Maverick Hunters Headquarters! In order to get to the medical unit, we must walk through a number of other rooms. The first room we are about to enter is...a pair of long stairs upwards!

Erstrund took note of the stairs once Elly opened up another door, this time unlocked already, and saw other Reploids walking on the stairs as they were walking upwards. Elly then started talking again:

Elly: If you have any questions about Headquarters so far mister, please ask!

Erstrund: Well let me think for a bit...how many Reploids work in here?

Elly: Um...I am not really sure about that...let me guess...about 8000 I think!

Erstrund: Gosh, that's like, a thousand times more members than my company! What a great number of Maverick Hunters, but is it enough to defeat the Mavericks during these days?

Elly: Well, do take note that not all of our workers are Maverick Hunters mister! We have for example scientists, engineers and maintenance Reploids working here as well! And as for your other question, we are enduring positive most of the time, so yeah, we can fight these Mavericks!

Erstrund: I see...

Elly: Oh, I found the next room? Guess what kind of room this is?

She then opened the door.

Elly: Tada! A hallway to a giant hangar where our vehicles get repaired!

Erstrund looked suprised a bit at Elly herself.

Erstrund: (Quite an enthousiastic little girl.)

He then smiled, and continued following Elly. They encountered even more Reploids inside this hallway. What Erstrund saw was a maintenance Reploid checking on the ceiling with an assistent Reploid holding the ladder for him, 2 kinds of guard Reploids walking to the long stairs they just were on, and 3 Reploids talking to each other. Erstrund thought they were probaply off duty for a while. Elly then walked nearby the giant double doors to the hangar and they started opening automatically upon detection.

Elly: Hihi, this is one big hangar mister! You will love it!

What Erstrund saw next was a stair leading downwards to the lower ground of the hangar, giant lamps with enormous light coming out of them on the ceiling, and many kinds of vehicles downstairs. Many maintenance and engineer Reploids could also be seen, while guard Reploids in the distant next to doors where overseeing the other Reploids. As they walked downstairs Erstrund saw flying Mechaniloids of some kind handing over mechanical parts and repair tools to the Reploids near the damaged vehicles. They reminded him of his IS'S. The only difference is that they gave Reploids repair objects instead of information. Elly and Erstrund then proceeded walking through the vehicles. Some Reploids took note of Elly.

Maintenance Reploid: Hi Elly!

Mechanic Reploid: Hey!

Elly: Hiya boys, are you working nicely today?

M and M: Yeah!

Erstrund then started observing the vehicles themselves. What he saw for example were hoverbikes, airplanes, ride armors and APC's.

Erstrund: Such a shame they are badly damaged, is this the cause of the Mavericks?

Elly: Most of the time yes. But sometimes an accident happens with the Maverick Hunters themselves. It's part of life after all!

Erstrund: Yes I guess so.

Elly: But they are taken nicely care of by Headquarters as you can see. Now, the next room awaits. What could it be?

A security Reploid saw Elly and Erstrund approaching.

Security Reploid: Ah, Elly. How are you holding up?

Elly: I'm fine, Larry! Lookie here, I have a mister over here who needs to go to the medical unit.

Larry: Just like the Maverick Hunters before you. Tell me, to which doctor should I send this Reploid?

Elly: Oh, um...X didn't say who exactly. Just get mister to Lifesaver please, if he is not busy!

Larry: Well, let's find out shall we? Let me open the door for you.

Once again did Erstrund saw another Reploid pushing a bunch of buttons on a small control panel. The door then opened up.

Erstrund: Is it annoying to remember all these passwords for the locked doors?

Larry: Passwords? No way, we use a different security system in here...

Larry then showed his hands to Erstrund.

Larry: Our fingers you see. Once we have touched all of our fingers on the ten buttons, the door opens. Only then does the door open, if your fingers are damaged or not clean then it won't work.

Erstrund: Interesting, but how do you prevent Mavericks from using their fingers?

Larry placed his right hand on the control panel.

Larry: These control panels are specially made to detect inside the fingers that they must be cleaned, undamaged and the most important of all, anti virus worthy so that the Reploid can pass the door. Additionally, every member of the Headquarters gets modified in their fingers as some sort of identification system so that the control panels recognize their members only. Of course, it could happen that Mavericks who are not infected and are former Maverick Hunters could either use their fingers or just blast the door open, but that's not what the control panels are made for.

And then there was a pause for 2 seconds.

Larry: They are made to give Headquarters a better safety and security feel than without them, simple as that.

Erstrund: Thanks for the information.

Larry: You're welcome. Now, let us get to the medical unit. Is this the first time you are here mister...uhm?

Erstrund: Dr.Erstrund. And yes, it is my first time.

Larry: Ok. Well the medical unit is nearby Dr.Erstrund.

Elly: Only one door left at the end of this hallway, to the left!

Larry: Yeah, that's where Lifesaver is.

The 3 then walked to the end of the hallway and opened the door. What Erstrund saw next was a medical room with a bed in the middle, an office to the right, and a tall Reploid sitting behind the office. There was also many kinds of medical equipment around the bed.

Larry: Dr.Lifesaver?

Lifesaver dropped down a piece of paper and looked up.

Lifesaver: Hmm?

Larry: I have a Reploid here who had to be taken to the medical unit. Do you have time for him?

Lifesaver: Depends on what the problem is.

Lifesaver then crossed his hands behind his back and walked towards the 3 Reploids. He looked at Estrund and said:

Lifesaver: What is the problem?

Erstrund: Well, X from the Maverick Hunters said that it would be wise to do an analysis check on me, just to be sure he said...

Lifesaver: Analyze you huh? Well I got time for that. Could you lay down on the bed over there?

Erstrund: Sure.

Erstrund then looked at Elly and Larry:

Erstrund: Thanks, Elly. Larry. Say Elly, if I want to go back to Yonk City, who should I call then?

Elly: Oh, that would be me, hihi! When do you need to leave?

Erstrund: Tommorow in the morning to be exact. I need to be on time then.

Elly: Okay, let's decide to meet downstairs where X took off with his unit tommorow morning, could you find that?

Erstrund: Possibly. Hallway, hangar, hallway, stairs, rendezvous point. Allright. See you tommorow Elly. And bye Larry:

Larry&Elly: Bye bye!

The door to Lifesaver closed then, and Erstrund proceeded to lie down on the bed. Erstrund looked around the medical equipment, tried to guess what the names of each of the equipment were, but could not think of names. Erstrund was not informative enough when it came to medical objects.

Lifesaver: Let me first get my office chair...

Lifesaver picked his chair up, and dropped it next to the bed. He sat down on it and started observing Erstrund.

Lifesaver: Now then, what first, physical or mind analysis? I suppose I will do both at the same time to save more time.

As Ertrund looked at him Lifesaver grabbed with his hands a big ball of some kind with a giant sensor eye in front of it which was installed on the ceiling and targeted it on Erstrund. He then pushed something behind the ballish object and sat down again. The object started moving at itself now, observing Erstrund's body.

Lifesaver: What is your name?

Erstrund: Erstrund.

Lifesaver: How are you feeling Erstrund?

Erstrund: A bit confused about what happened to me.

Lifesaver: What happened?

Erstrund: Well, I was shopping. I bought 2 batteries for a friend of mine working on my floor inside our company. As I got out of the building, what I saw was a dangerous looking...

*BEEP* *BEEP*

Suddenly the ball object started making this high sound like it was an urgent emergency of some kind. The object stopped moving and it was looking at a part of Erstrund. Lifesaver now looked more serious than before.

Lifesaver: This sound...What is in your right pocket! Show it!

Erstrund then got heavily shocked by the moment he remembered what was inside his right pocket. He hesistated and looked at Lifesaver with a nervous face.

Lifesaver: SHOW IT! This is no ordinary sound from the Monitor Mech System! This is one hundred percent danger!

Lifesaver looked even more serious and came closer to Erstrund. Erstrund had no choice then to show what was inside his pocket. He reached for the object inside his pocket, and showed it to Lifesaver. As the beeping of the MMS continued, Lifesaver looked with an open mouth to the object and said:

Lifesaver: What...is...this?

[Dr. Wily II]

Lol... I don't even remember what I said back then...
But at least we will now know what that dangerous item is...

[Flok]

You were predicting that Lumine would emerge from Axl's body or something in my story back then Dr.Wily II.  ;)

Chapter 5: Grand Invention

As Lifesaver was watching carefully yet suprised at the object Erstrund was holding, the MMS suddenly displayed new information on it's screen on it's back for Lifesaver to see. Lifesaver noticed this and started reading out loud:

Lifesaver: Target contains signs of...Force Metal!?

Lifesaver then faced Erstrund with anger in the eyes very quickly and said:

Lifesaver: THAT IS A DANGEROUS KIND OF METAL! Reploids or humans who are in possession of Force Metal in any kind of way have violated the law automatically. This is a serious crime, do you understand!?

As Erstrund became even more nervous when Lifesaver was saying all of this, Erstrund said:

Erstrund: Please, let me explain! I was given permission from MH Headquarters itself to use Force Metal according to my fellow colleagoues! You must have been uninformed about this!

Lifesaver: Then who gave this permission!?

Erstrund: I...I don't know, my colleague Rodomar requested for a fair amount of Force Metals from MH Headquarters so that I could implement it into my invention!

Lifesaver: Invention? You mean that thing over there?

Lifesaver looked at it again. The small dark purple object with spiky gray corners looked like some kind of crystal device with Force Metal flowing through the inside of it, and it also had a long vertical slot of some kind at the top of it, where something could be inserted, and at the front of the object a single large crystal like part stood up from the rest. It looked like a single button.

Erstrund: Yes, I really needed Force Metals to complete this. I have researched into the effects of Force Metal in the past, and my conclusion about the metals was that they could boost up the host of the Force Metals in many ways. But, in order for these different kind of Force Metals to have any effect, some kind of storage was needed. Inside the metals I discovered something.

Lifesaver became curious and calmed down.

Lifesaver: What was it?

Erstrund: Exactly the storage I was talking about. Radiation particles which can ionize if the user modificates them correctly. The energy behind these particles could in fact upgrade the electric protons found inside the crystal parts of my invention. Together with a pair of semiconductors with an incredible amount of electrical conductivity, this device can hold a lot of memory. I believe it may hold more memory than any database of any kind in this world...

Lifesaver: So, with this memory...

Erstrund: I cannot say what I will do with this memory yet. I will unveil my invention to the world soon enough though. All I want to make clear now is that without the Force Metals, the electric protons of the crystal parts would had not moved on it's own, and without the semiconductors, no memory could be made.

Lifesaver:Hmmm...

As Lifesaver placed his left hand under his chin and a pause of silence ocurred in the next 10 seconds, and as the MMS was still making noise, Lifesaver turned off the alarming sound of the MMS and said:

Lifesaver: What you have just told me, I do not know what to say. But you owe me an legal explanation first for being in possession of Force Metals. Therefore, we will now walk to the command center of Headquarters.

Erstrund: What? Why there?

Lifesaver: That is where some of our operators deal with the requests we get from various Humans and Reploids such as civilians who are in need of help, or people like you who ask for a dangerous object. Come, I get the feeling of the way you talk that you are in fine condition at the moment. Clear and fluent, yet intelligent and calm at the same time.

Erstrund: But...

Lifesaver: I will promise I will not charge you in just yet. However for the sake of our safety, as well as Headquarters itself, I will now call Larry back to watch an eye out at you.

Lifesaver then stood up as he was saying this and reached for a button below his office. As he was holding down the button with his thumb, Lifesaver then prepared for his speech by swallowing his saliva, and said: "Attention, attention. Security Class 4 Reploid Larry is to be attended to my office in the medical unit immediately. I repeat, SC 4 Reploid Larry is to be attended to my office in the medical unit immediately." Lifesaver then dropped the button and stood up again.

Meanwhile after Larry heard about this message through megaphones found in the corners of the giant vehicle hangar, Larry once again pressed his fingers on the small control panel and walked with haste to Lifesaver's office. He then opened the door without knocking and saw Lifesaver look at him from the side and Erstrund sitting staight up from the medical bed, who had put away his invention inside his pocket again by now. He then looked at Lifesaver again while panting a bit and said:

Larry: Dr.Lifesaver, I came as you ordered.

Lifesaver: I am glad. Larry, we will now walk together with Dr.Erstrund to the command center.

Larry: What!? But I thought...

Lifesaver: The situation has changed, do not ask any questions. Just follow Dr.Erstrund from behind with your gun ready if needed but do not aim at him recklessly! That is your next order Larry!

Larry: Alright..

Lifesaver: Time to go now Erstrund.

Erstrund: If you won't believe me then I guess we have time to go the command center before I leave again tommorow.

Erstrund stood up and walked outside Lifesaver's office, then Lifesaver himself, and then Larry. Lifesaver then locked his office with a key and started walking back to the entrance to the giant vehicle hangar. Erstrund followed next to him, while Larry by now was alert with his gun close to him if something bad was about to happen. When they reached the door, this time the door opened by itself, no kind of security stopped the group from moving on. As Larry passed the door and everyone was inside the hangar now, the door quickly closed again. Erstrund looked around a bit again and saw that the Reploids inside were still busy with the various kinds of vehicles. Suddenly, Lifesaver started talking:

Lifesaver: Do you know why Force Metals are dangerous Erstrund?

Erstrund: Well, the Force Metals themselves can be used by anyone. But I don't think before Force Metals were discovered globally that they were dangerous already.

Lifesaver: They have been very dangerous in the past. They were used by Replenloids as well as Mavericks.

Erstrund: Replenloids again!?

Lifesaver: Yes, that's what 2nd generation Reploids symbolize really. Danger. Tremendous amounts of danger. They used Force Metals to power up their bodies and to attack their enemies with great strength. This was bad enough already. But eventually Force Metals were modified so extremely somehow that Supra Force Metals were created, which were even more powerful than normal ones.

Erstrund: Supra Force Metal?

Lifesaver: Yes, these kind of metals do not exist anymore. They were even more dangerous than Force Metals and after no one knew anymore how to make them, they disappeared thankfully. After all, only a few Supra Force Metals were spotted outside of Giga City, where the Force Metals originally were discovered.

Erstrund: Giga City yes, I know about the discovery.

Lifesaver: But still, Force Metals were continuesly used before and during the Replenloid War. Only after the war ended were the Force Metals almost extinct as well. But Headquarters decided to keep a few of the metals sealed away in their bases, in case if we needed them in the future. And yet I saw Force Metals flowing through your device, it is possible after all that you got a a hold of them outside urban areas.

Erstrund: Well, I can't persuade you that we got them from Headquarters with something so dangerous I guess.

Lifesaver: Yes, yes...I need to be sure that you are speaking the truth.

They then reached the stairs to the next hallway.

Lifesaver: It will take a while before we encounter an elevator to the top though. The floor we are on is the ground floor which is the farthest away from the nearest elevator which is in the back of the building.

They continued walking. Meanwhile, the female worker of the sealed capsules building started to wake up on a medical bed somewhere in the medical unit where Erstrund was just now as well.

Female worker: Oh....

A nurse reploid noticed her waking up.

Nurse Reploid: Good evening, how are you feeling?

Female worker: I got a terrible headache, and my body is shaking...

Nurse Reploid: Poor child, you were thankfully saved by Maverick Hunters.

The nurse reploid then started up a machine. The instruments attached to the female worker started moving on their own. The female worker then looked at them suprised.

Nurse Reploid: Flores, was it? I just activated a Cryogenics Stimulator which will heal your body away from the stress and confusion. After that, you can go to sleep to get rid of your headache.

Flores: Okay...

That was all Flores had to say, and soon after that Flores closed her eyes and falled asleep already while the stimulator was still busy.

By now, the 3 Reploids had arrived at the entrance of the command center. 2 Security Reploids from Class 1 were standing guard and noticed the 3 Reploids approaching.

Security Reploid A: Ah, Dr.Lifesaver. And Larry from Class 4.

Security Reploid B: But who is this third Reploid. Identify yourself to us.

Lifesaver: His name is Dr.Erstrund, a foreigner. I request to speak to the commander for a little while please.

Security Reploid A: What for exactly?

Lifesaver: Dr.Erstrund over here holds Force Metals in his right pocket.

A+B: What, the illegal metal!?

Lifesaver: Relax, the situation is under control, Or so I think. I need to make sure Dr.Erstrund is telling the truth about how he acquired the Force Metals. Please let me in.

Security Reploid B: Very well then, I will make contact with the operator now...

B then communicated through his earphone.

Security Reploid B: Class 1 squad southeast reporting. Operator, could you open the door please? Dr.Lifesaver requests to talk for a while with the commander.

Operator: Certainly, please wait.

After a while the huge metallic door opened, and inside Erstrund could see a darkish room with lots of monitors attached to the ceilings with all kinds of data, operator Reploids communicating through their earphones and pressing buttons, and at the end of the command center another tall Reploid could be seen talking with a Maverick Hunter looking Reploid. As Lifesaver, Erstrund and Larry walked inside the huge metallic door closed behind them and Lifesaver then said:

Lifesaver: You two wait here.

Lifesaver then walked to the tall and other Reploid talking to each other and both took note of Lifesaver. The tall Reploid then said something to the other Reploid and the Maverick Hunter looking Reploid walked away while another huge metallic door in the northeast opened up for him. That Reploid then disappeared. The tall Reploid and Lifesaver talked for a bit while Lifesaver was aiming at Erstrund. The doctor then waved at Erstrund to come over. Erstrund then walked to Lifesaver while Larry was still walking behind Erstrund.

Lifesaver: This is the Reploid I was talking about.

The tall Reploid observed Erstrund then, and said:

???: Dr.Erstrund, survivor of the Mechaniloid attack in the afternoon on a street in Yonk City?

Erstrund: Yes?

???: X told me about the incident.

The tall Reploid then looked Erstrund serious in the eyes, almost as if he was about to punish Erstrund in some way. But then suddenly he smiled and said:

???: It IS true that your company requested for an amount of Force Metals from our Headquarters.

Lifesaver: Really?

???: Yes, it was used to complete your newest invention wasn't it? Atleast that's what your partner said to one of my operators.

Erstrund: Of course, I have it right here.

???: May I see it?

Erstrund: Well, it should be no problem.

Once again did Erstrund take out his mysterious looking object from his right pocket. In the dark the crystal device shined beautifully.

???: Interesting, can you describe what it does exactly, it's purpose?

Erstrund: What, here? I had decided to unveil all of the information at my meeting tommorow actually.

???: Perhaps, but we would like to get a hold of the information first, since after all you did use our Force Metals for free. This is your way for paying me. That object you have gotten there looks very interesting. And since it is made out of Force Metals, we must be certain that it will also not be dangerous.

Erstrund: I guess....

???: Now then, please.

Erstrund looked at his device for a bit, then he raised his arm holding the device all the way upwards, and said:

Erstrund: Fine, Headquarters should be a fine start for the world to know about my Grand Invention.

[spoiler]Thanks, it shall be you guys which will hopefully let me finish this story someday! At the moment I have tons of story related things about Mega Man Data saved on my computer, and now I am trying to figure out about what I should type next in the story itself. You see, things gets really complicated at Chapter 8, which you guys will be reading soon.

About Axl, you will hear about him in the future, but probaply not in person.

Light Novel huh? Never heard about this, maybe I will check it out soon.[/spoiler]

[Dr. Wily II]

Oh... Lumine...

Well, let's get the party started soon! What IS this invention?

[Flok]

Chapter 6: Grand Invention Deluxe

The tall Reploid, Lifesaver and Larry looked at Dr.Erstrund's invention with curiosity. Erstrund then started explaining it's purpose:

Erstrund: This...this is what I call my Grand Invention. Mnemonic CFM Tank. CFM stands for Crystal Force Metal.

Erstrund then lowered his arm again, and looked at the tall Reploid.

Erstrund: Could you open the roof, or any kind of window in this room, right now?

???: Of course, I will let one of my operators open a window for you.

The tall Reploid then looked to the operators who were still busy and shouted:

???: Arnold, open up the window behind me. We need some fresh air in here.

Arnold turned around sitting on a chair while the tall Reploid was saying this and said:

Arnold: Yes commander Yuqer!

Arnold pressed a button below his desk and a window started opening up slowly behind Erstrund and the other Reploids. Commander Yuqer then looked at Erstrund.

Yuqer: Please, continue.

At that moment, a flying mechaniloid got through the window from the outside, and Erstrund smiled at the fact that he knows the mechaniloid. The mechaniloid then came closer and Erstrund grabbed it with his free hand.

Erstrund: I knew that sooner or later one of my IS's would fly in here, heh.

Larry: Ah, that is one of the mechaniloids ordered to take pictures from damaged objects, dangerous situations or our enemies amongst a few examples. If I am correct they were made by Herakto Inc. right?

Erstrund: They were invented by me, and published by my company, yes. A group of Information Scanners also got deployed in the area around Maverick Hunter Headquarters, and this one over here is one of them. Let's see, it's number is...87.

Erstrund then pushed a button behind 87's back and an object came out of it. Erstrund grabbed it.

Erstrund: This is as you might know a memory chip. Inside this chip, all of the information is found, which got captured by the IS.

Erstrund coughed then a bit, and continued.

Erstrund: As you might also know, the IS's have the revolutionary way of determining by themselves what the exact information is on these pictures. They determine this by thinking for themselves and by hints inserted by Reploids.

Larry: They think for themselves!? So, are they...

Erstrund: They are not fully mechaniloid, nor fully Reploid. They have a semi Identity Core inside them, that is, they can think and decide on their own what the information on the pictures represent. But that is all they can do. They cannot for example feel, or go rebel against it's users. It also of course has it's own way of storing memory. By taking pictures, the information they determine will be stored in a small capacity, or their mechanical limited "brains".

Yuqer: And what about these so called hints?

Erstrund: Users of the IS's have the ability to input information about the pictures stored inside IS's themselves as well, so that the IS's based on that information can determine better against new pictures. Also, in order to take new pictures from say, parts of the Infected Zone, they are about the only kinds of machines which can legally use Replenish.

Lifesaver: So, this means that the IS's have Replenish implemented inside them?

Erstrund: Yes, Replenish still survives to this day, even though it has caused much harm.

Yuqer: As do we at Headquarters know as well. I assume you heard about X's secret mission?

Erstrund: Yes...about his unit's object to chase after 8 Replenloids.

Yuqer: They also still have Replenish inside them as well, and could possibly be the last 8 Reploids to have the program, besides your IS's. When was it again exactly that these IS's were released?

Erstrund: Around 5 years ago, when the Replenloid War was still going on. Around 1000 to this day are still active.

Lifesaver: Hmmm....but continue telling us about your device now again, please. Tell us it's purpose.

Erstrund: Of course, let me insert this memory chip now...

Erstrund then inserted the memory chip through the vertical slot of his device and held the large crystal button for 5 seconds with his thumb on the front of the device. He then released 87 from his hand, and 87 landed on the ground near the Reploids, and waited with patience until it got it's memory chip back. While this was happening, a screen with information suddenly appeared above the device, which you could see through.

Lifesaver: A hologram?

Erstrund: Correct. What you see now on this screen is the gallery with the pictures inside them that 87 made. Let's see what 87 has captured for us to view.

Erstrund then touched with his right hand the first picture in the gallery while holding the device with his left hand, and the screen zoomed in on this picture to the maximum, yet it remained detailed and clear to view.

Erstrund: What do we have here, looks like a group of cleaning mechaniloids to me...!

Yuqer: What is it Dr.Erstrund?

Erstrund: These mechaniloids are also made by my company, they are to keep the rails clean from any kinds of metal objects from getting attracted to them. Our company's symbol, next to my IS's, is the Herakto Express, the train traveling on these rails.

Larry: But what is wrong about this picture? Why did 87 capture it?

Erstrund: It made the picture because the mechaniloids are cleary not doing what they are supposed to do...they are dropping metal ON the rails!

Yuger: Does the picture say at what moment exactly?

Erstrund: Well yes, let me see...4th of June 22XX.

Lifesaver: But that is over atleast 2 weeks ago!

Erstrund: I know that! But you see, this picture is the oldest on this memory chip, if I for example want to see the latest picture 87 has taken, I will touch it.

Yuger: Wait just a second Dr.Erstrund. Let me ask you a question. Herakto Inc. and Headquarters have made a deal about the way we use the IS's correct? The scientists at your company are supposed to view the the pictures the IS's have taken and then report to Headquarters everything that seems to be dangerous on these pictures by making copies out of the memory chips and sending them over to us. My operators then take a look at the pictures and give out orders to the Maverick Hunters usually.

Erstrund: What are you trying to say?

Yuger: Why is it that you or us did not knew anything about this certain picture?

Erstrund: My scientists probaply thought the picture was no real threat, a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes. Anyway, let me take a look at the latest picture now.

Erstrund touched the screen a few times again and a new picture appeared.

Yuqer: This area on the picture looks like Yonk City, it's a street, and I can see damaged cars, could this be the incident from afternoon!?

Erstrund: Looks like it. Multiply Informations Scanners sometimes take a picture of the same event. My colleagoues then simply delete these pictures if they share the same details.

Lifesaver: So let me get this straight. So far, this device only shows information from the memory chips, right?

Erstrund: Yes.

Lifesaver: But we've had monitors to view these memory chips for 5 years now Dr.Erstrund! Why did you create this device if we had a way of viewing the information already?

Erstrund: First of all, Mnemonic Tank as it's name might suggest, can hold the information it gets from the memory chips. So much in fact that atleast 1000 memory chips out from 1 IS according to my calculations can be held storage. No machine could do this in the past. The monitors could simply only be used to view and delete information from a single memory chip once at a time, but not store the information.

Lifesaver: So 1000x1000? That is a lot of memory chips, and if I remember correctly, each memory chip can hold about 50 pictures.

Erstrund: That is right. Once Mnemonic Tank gets a memory chip inserted, it will remember the pictures and information until someone decides to delete it.

Erstrund coughed then again.

Erstrund: Mnemonic Tank has a second purpose. It can describe a picture by making a profile out of it. This can be done by touching on the keyboard symbol inside the menu of this hologram. But also, profiles out of their own can be typed up, and can later be implemented on pictures.

Lifesaver: Which means pictures from the future can be used...

Erstrund: Or from the past. You see, I could just now make a profile out of an infected Maverick right now, if anyone has a picture from the Maverick.

Yuqer: What do you mean?

Erstrund: Well, for example, Storm Eagle, one of your past comrades, eventually went Maverick. If someone or something from that time had a picture of him, my invention could then combine it with the written profile about him.

Lifesaver: But that would be impossible, since the camera's back then held the storage different than your IS's from today.

Erstrund: Correct, but there is another advantage which Mnemonic Tank uses...it can compress any kind of photo material so that the old pictures can be viewable on my invention. If I could just get the chips from the machines or cameras holding the information I could backup the pictures. Even the infamous mugshots from infected Mavericks and Replenloids could serve as the picture of their respective profiles.

Lifesaver: That is amazing...but what if there is no more memory for Mnemonic Tank to store?

Erstrund: That's where my last purpose for using Mnemonic Tank comes in.

Yuqer, Lifesaver and Larry: Which is?

Erstrund: It's capacity is constantly getting upgraded, because of the Force Metals inside of it. It keeps getting ionizing, which let's the capacity keep growing and growing. And by the time there is no more room for ionization, then my next invention will jump in.

Yuqer: Oh my, another invention?

Erstrund: Yes, but could I please reveal that piece of information to my meeting tommorow instead? I am getting a bit tired now and I can assure you that you know enough about my Grand Invention now.

Lifesaver: Well, it's purpose is pretty clear now, I am amazed.

Yuqer: Yes, I guess we know enough by now. Well, since the whole world will know about your invention tommorow, and the Mnemonic Tank itself seems not to be dangerous, You can go to sleep now. Larry, please guide him to one of our guest's bed rooms.

Larry: Yes commander Yuqer.

Yuqer: Oh and Lifesaver, can I talk to you for a few more minutes?

Lifesaver: Well, only a few minutes then. I still need to review a certain theory at my office.

Yuqer: It will be quick, don't worry.

Yuqer then looked at Erstrund.

Yuqer: Thanks for your incredible amount of information, Dr.Erstrund, and good luck for your meeting tommorow. I believe this might not be our last greeting though.

Erstrund: It was a pleasure meeting the current commander of Headquarters. May we see each other again.

Erstrund then walked after Larry this time to the metallic door, and it was clear by now that Erstrund's device was not dangerous. Yuqer then looked at Lifesaver and started talking to him when Erstrund was out of the command room. Yuqer started whispering and said:

Yuqer: My dear Lifesaver, I believe we have found a solution for spying on our suspect tommorow. Do you understand?

Lifesaver: Now that you mention it, yes, this could really help.

Yuqer: I will contact Blitzkrieg about this. Tommorow morning I will tell Erstrund then of the final plan. You may come over if you can or not, I won't care.

Lifesaver: I think I will stay at my office and help anyone who is injured instead, thanks. Let me know tommorow morning how the final plan looks like after you have send Erstrund away.

Yuqer: Okay, good night to you.

Lifesaver: Good night.

Remember kids, if you spot any grammatical error or spelling mistakes, point them out for me, and if you have questions about the story itself, be sure to ask them.

[Dr. Wily II]

Finally, the big reveal...
And the action is about to start as well...

Chapter 7: Preparations

It was the beginning of a new day, in the early morning. Although Elly did not clearly state at what time exactly to meet at the rendezvous point, Erstrund decided to get out of his bed at 7:00 AM. He yawned for a bit, stretched out his arms and legs, made a round circle with his head both sides and put on his glasses which was lying next to his bed, and then walked out of the guest room, but not before taking a quick glance at the room. It seemed that Erstrund was the only guest staying this night. As Erstrund walked outside the room, he started to wonder:

Erstrund: (Hmm, now I must find my way back to that certain hangar again...)

Erstrund then started walking and thought out loud.

Erstrund: Hallway... hangar... hallway... stairs... rendezvous point! I remember it.

Erstrund was happy to find the giant busy hangar again when he walked through the giant mechanic doors. It seemed that the guest rooms and medical unit were not too far away from each other. As Erstrund walked to the long stairs heading into the next hallway, he noticed that today even more vehicles had arrived at the hangar. He then overheard a Reploid shouting as new vehicles were getting delivered by strong looking mechaniloids:

Reploid A: Oh man look at these, looks like we won't be done till the evening!

Reploid: B: That sucks...better get a move on!

Erstrund then reached the ground level of the high stairs, but before he could move up, a familiar voice spoke:

Larry: Good morning doctor. I see you already are quite fit to get to busy stuff.

Erstrund: Yes, good morning, I slept well last night.

Larry: Do you need any help?

Erstrund: No, I remember now how to walk to where Elly is.

Larry: Okay, good luck doc.

Erstrund: Good bye.

Then about 10 minutes later, when Erstrund had reached the security door before the rendezvous point, the megaphones nearby him suddenly activated.

Yuqer: Good morning, Dr.Erstrund. I see you are at your destination already. However, we still have some things to discuss which we would like to do with you. Please turn back, take the nearby elevator, and go to the highest room. Come, I have unlocked the door to the command center already.

Then there was no more sound. Erstrund guessed that a ship nor Elly was ready beyond the security door, so he then thought he had no choice but to get back to the command center. As he entered the elevator and pushed the button to the highest floor, he noticed a very sleepy looking Reploid in the elevator as well. As he got out the elevator, he looked around his back and still saw the Reploid. The Reploid looked like he was about to fall on the ground, to get some sleep. Then Erstrund faced forward again, and once again saw two Class 1 Reploids standing guard.

Security Reploid A: You are expected, Dr.Erstrund.

Security Reploid B: Right this way.

Erstrund once again then entered the command center, which still looked the same as yesterday. He saw the same operators as yesterday, but then he started looking for Yuqer. Suddenly to the right side of Erstrund, Yuqer appeared.

Yuqer: Hello there.

Erstrund: Oh gosh you scared me there!

Yuqer: Hah, sorry about that. Please, follow me. Let's get down to business right away.

Erstrund: Oh?

Erstrund then followed Yuqer, and it seemed like Yuqer was walking to a table, which Erstrund saw yesterday as well, but this time some papers were on the table. As this was happening, once again the northeast security door opened, and once again the Maverick Hunter look a like Reploid entered through the door. He was walking to the very same table.

Yuqer: Ah, Blitzkrieg, perfect timing. Let me get you to meet Dr.Erstrund right here.

Erstrund then looked Blitzkrieg in the eyes and they shook hands.

Blitzkrieg:...

Erstrund: Hey there.

Erstrund laughed a bit falsely, and then showed a face as if he found it strange that the Reploid was not replying.

Yuqer: Now, sit down please. Oh, and Arnold. ARNOLD!

Arnold: Yes, sir?

Arnold this time replied even before he turned around with his chair to face Yuqer.

Yuqer: Can you please be on stand by for a second and come here?

Arnold: Of course, I understand.

Arnold flipped over some switches, took off his community equipment, and walked to the table with pride, as if he was happy that Yuqer called him once again.

Yuqer: Now, Arnold, please speak up clearly, what this piece of paper, the first one, is about.

Erstrund sat relaxed with both arms on the side parts and looked at Arnold picking up the paper from the table. Yuqer's left leg was over his right leg and he held both hands together on his knees. Blitzkrieg was holding his chin with his right hand on the table and looked at Arnold with a rather annoying angry face.

Arnold: To: Maverick Hunters Headquarters. From: Yonk Facilities. Order number: 0382. Regarding: Suspecious activities around Dr. Unqwai falsely stating reasons for his doings. Dear Commander Yuqer, please, we are in a crisis. An energy crisis in Yonk Facilities to be exact. We fear that this is Dr.Unqwai's doing, but since Dr.Unqwai is a respected authorized Reploid around here, we do not have any evidence against him. But we do have had 1 witness so far seeing him sent his bodyguards to pick up some mysterious looking packages from the storage rooms holding the energy we need for our research. Where these packages go we do not know. For definite evidence, we shall need a person, a spy or undercover agent of some kind, with an IS preferred, to take pictures from anything out of the obvious and attempt to have a talk with Dr.Unqwai. We feel that the meeting on June the 20th 22XX will be an excellent opportunity to confront Unqwai.

Arnold: Should I read the next page?

Yuqer: That is enough. You may go back now.

Arnold then gave the papers to Yuqer and he placed them on the table. Then Yuqer looked up to Erstrund.

Erstrund: So, you were thinking about me, didn't you?

Yuqer: Yes, but when you think about it, it is quite excellent to use you to make Dr.Unqwai confess.

Erstrund: Why is that?

Then suddenly, the other Reploid on the table talked.

Blitzkrieg: Isn't it obvious? You are a doctor, he is a doctor. You can attend the meeting, so will he. You both have intelligent abilities which could be shared with each other. You can persuade him easily with your so called Grand Invention, offer him information, a deal, whatever. Just as long as you can let him get captured on the big screen, which WILL be used during the meeting, Unqwai will be destroyed.

Erstrund: Huh?

Yuqer: Eh, sorry about that. Blitzkrieg is the kind who talks unexpected, and only says necessary things. Isn't that right Blitzkrieg?

Blitzkrieg:...

Yuqer then smiled.

Yuqer: See?

Yuqer: Anyway, like Blitzkrieg said, you can help us greatly during your meeting with the other doctors. I even will send over Blitzkrieg with you in case something happens, and Arnold, the operator you saw just now, will personally navigate and support you via earphones before, during and after the meeting.

Erstrund: Well, I don't know if I will be able to handle the meeting, and keep an eye out on this doctor...

Yuqer: Remember, we are on your side. If it gets too much for you, simply announce to the rest then that you need a break. I am sure they will understand, considering the debates I have been told about will get hot and long to discuss.

Erstrund: If I say no, I probaply cannot attend the meeting, right?

Yuqer: Who said that!? We are not trying to force you or anything. We just thought you could handle it. And with an IS with you nearby, things will go even more smooth.

Erstrund: Well, if I could hide the IS yes...

Yuqer: Blitzkrieg will get a hold of the IS until you contact him to get near Unqwai and you, so that the IS can take pictures manually by Blitzkrieg's finger.

Erstrund: I see, but will this Reploid endurance it, and be able to pull it off?

Yuqer: Trust me, Blitzkrieg is an incredible hired mercenary, specialised into hiding into the shadows.

Yuqer: He also is an excellent strategist which some of my operators are jealous of. So if you need any help, contact him as well.

Erstrund: Okay, this is getting to sound easier and easier.

Yuqer: Exactly! So Dr.Erstrund, what do you think? Can you unfold the truth about the energy crisis at Yonk Facilities?

Erstrund: With help from you guys, and my charismatic behaviour, this should do smoothly.

Yuqer: Nice comment. Then, we are done. Dr.Erstrund, you shall leave immediately. I believe the meeting at Yonk Facilities will start at 12:00 AM, but I don't want you to get late.

Erstrund: I understand.

Yuqer: Blitzkrieg will go with you inside the ship, but will get inside Yonk Facilities on his own. Do not question how he will do this, he will get in.

Erstrund: Okay, he sounds like an useful guy.

Yuqer: Now I will contact Elly to guide you during the trip. She will take control of the ship.

Chapter 8: Mega Man Data

Warning, this is a very important chapter which will explain my story's title, as well as being full of information and action during all of it happening. It is also the longest chapter yet.

The time had finally come for Erstrund to leave Maverick Hunters Headquarters. With Blitzkrieg to his left, and Elly to his right, the three of them said their goodbyes to Commander Yuqer while Yuqer wished them luck, and especially good luck to Dr.Erstrund. This was all happening at the rendezvous point with a small mobile transport airship waiting for them, to be taken of in the clear blue sunny sky today. Today not a single spark of rain could be seen, and many clouds were moving in the sky. As the 3 Reploids entered the small airship, the return to Yonk City and the trip to Yonk Facilities had finally began.

Part 1
-----

The emergency exit door closed behind the Reploids. Elly immediately took a seat in the captain's chair of the ship, and started turning on the engines, and information screens, as well fasting her seat belt. Then she looked backwards to Blitzkrieg and Erstrund and said:

Elly: Careful, this is a very speedy airship, even though it is very small! Please sit down during this trip, and enjoy of course the view of the sky!

Erstrund: We understand, thanks for everything Elly. For guiding me through headquarters, and now bringing me back to Yonk City. You have my gratitude.

Elly: Oh, don't mention it! It is after all a part of my multiply task job to handle orders, especially from Commander Yuqer!

Blitzkrieg:...

Blitzkrieg took a quick glance at Elly, and Elly looked back. Then Blitzkrieg looked at Erstrund again for a second, which in turn looked at him back as well. Then Blitzkrieg looked down, searching for a seat, found one, and then proceeded to sit on it. Then he just stared blankly forward into nothingness, as if he was heavily brain storming inside his head. Erstrund released a small "Heh" sound and sat down on a seat opposite of Blitzkrieg, while Elly this time prepared to take of the airship. And with success, the airship quickly launched away from headquarters into the sky, which it did much quicker than the 3 transport airplanes Erstrund remembered from yesterday.

Erstrund: Is this a special kind of airship?

Elly: Well, yes! This is the kind which is used if one of our suppliers forgot some resources during an order, or just to transport people like you, or convicted people!

Erstrund: I see. It does it's job well I guess...

Erstrund then looked outside one of the windows.

Erstrund: The weather is clear today, looking good.

Blitzkrieg: Yes...

Erstrund: Huh?

Erstrund then looked at Blitzkrieg closely, as if he wanted to confirm what he just heard.

Erstrund: I thought discussions like this did not interest you?

Blitzkrieg: Of course they do. I just decide when to talk. It is not a matter of only saying necessary things like Yuqer said.

Erstrund: Oh?

Blitzkrieg: When I am near Yuqer, I want to make sure that he can trust me and rely on me. That is why my behaviour is extremely cautious and alert at those times, so that I can go get a higher rank into my unit.

Erstrund: Your unit? Which one would that be?

Blitzkrieg: Unit zero of course, the special class unit of which Maverick Hunter Zero was leader from once.

Erstrund: But I don't understand, I thought you were just a hired mercenary.

Blitzkrieg: I am in training for a period of 2 months. If I perform well during these 2 months, I will be allowed into the unit. Then I will get accepted as a Maverick Hunter and will obey orders without question.

Erstrund: You seem to be quite confident into accomplishing this. So, your goal is to become leader of unit #0 I guess?

Blitzkrieg: That would be convenient, and honourable. But I have my personal reasons as well.

Erstrund: Okay. Say by the way, Yuqer mentioned that you are a strategist as well, is that correct?

Blitzkrieg: It is, you can ask me anything during this mission.

Erstrund then suddenly thought to himself:

Erstrund: (That's right, this has become a mission now as well, aside from attending a meeting, I will have to personally talk to this Dr.Unqwai as well...)

Erstrund: Well then, how are things looking so far? What I mean is, do we have a chance to accomplish this mission?

Blitzkrieg: Of course, otherwise we would had discussed longer yesterday about this. We have a high surviving percent, as well as a succession chance. We are after all going to attend a meeting in Yonk City, although at the edge of it, but still. Plenty of guards will be there, as well as many important people. Add in that the world is watching as well through big TV screens, and you got yourself a party which no one will want to miss.

Erstrund: True...

Blitzkrieg: Hey, why don't you try to contact Arnold right now, to test the connection?

Erstrund: Huh? Oh, that's right!

Erstrund then put on the earphones which were inside his left pocket, and tried to establish a connection by holding the very small button between the lines of the earphones, under Erstrund's neck.

Erstrund: Hello?

Arnold: Good day, doctor!

Erstrund: Ooh, this sounds good, I can hear you clearly!

Arnold: Good to hear! Was there something you wanted to ask?

Erstrund: Well, not really, yet.

Arnold: Okay, can you tell me then where exactly you are now at the moment?

Erstrund: I am inside a small airship together with Blitzkrieg and Elly, and we are on our way to Yonk City.

Arnold: Okay, Dr.Erstrund, there are a couple of things I need to tell you now.

Erstrund: Please tell them.

Arnold: Right, as you knew from Commander Yuqer already, I will be your personal navigator today. What I need you to do is first of all, contact me once you have arrived in Yonk City and are out of the airship. Then, I will guide you to Yonk Facilities from your current location, and I will tell you then what to do next.

Erstrund: Alright, that sounds helpful, thanks Arnold!

Arnold: I will be here at the commander's room all day doctor. No breaks at all! If there is anything else you want to know, just make contact!

Erstrund: I understand, and now I will break the contact. Erstrund out.

Arnold: Ok.

Erstrund then broke the connection, and put the earphones in his left pocket again. He then reached for his Mnemonic Tank in his right pocket, just to feel if it was there still, and then looked at Blitzkrieg again.

Blitzkrieg: So?

Erstrund: I will have to make contact with Arnold once we have arrived in Yonk City. I understood from Yuqer that you will find and get inside Yonk Facilities on your own, correct?

Blitzkrieg: Correct, I will move swiftly, to scan the whole building , so that I can report back to you once you have arrived as well. Remember, we can make contact with each other as well, But only I can make contact with you, not vice versa.

Erstrund: Oh, I think I know why, heh.

Erstrund and Blitzkrieg were silent the rest of the trip, except for Elly, who started singing a song she made up herself. The 2 other Reploids did not seem to bother, as both were thinking inside their heads, probaply about today's mission. After about 45 minutes, Elly announced that they have been flying over Yonk City for a while and will land inside the city soon. Erstrund and Blitzkrieg then got prepared. Erstrund put on his earphones once again, while Blitzkrieg was looking at his equipment, which was mostly placed on his back.

Erstrund:...A small pata huh?

Blitzkrieg: Careful, I am dangerous with this one.

Erstrund: No doubt about that, considering Yuqer himself said you are an excellent mercenary.

Blitzkrieg: Well then, let us move out.

Blitzkrieg then let his pata sit on his back again, unviewable in public unless observed from a close range. Erstrund then said goodbye to Elly and she immediately took of again after the emergency door closed. As Erstrund was reaching for the very small button on his earphones once again, he saw Blitzkrieg run away from him very quickly. It was certain for Erstrund that Blitzkrieg was very fast with his legs.

Erstrund: Erstrund here, over. Arnold, are you there?

Arnold: Of course I am here, don't question that again!

Erstrund: Sorry about that!

Arnold: No problem Dr.Erstrund. Now, could you one more time, decribe you current location?

Erstrund: Looks like Elly dropped me on a busy harbor.

Arnold: Ahhh, there is only one harbor close to Yonk Facilities, but I forgot it's name. Anyway, I can easily guide you from that harbor!

Erstrund: Okay, so how should I walk?

Arnold: This is how you should walk...

After Arnold was done, Erstrund started walking right away. As he did this, he noticed Reploids and humans alike being hard at work in the harbor, as well as the busy urban streets he was about to walk to. He also wondered if Blitzkrieg had arrived at Yonk Facilities already, and ocassionally asked Arnold for confirmation if he was walking into the right direction.

Arnold: Oh by the way, have you found a suitable IS yet?

Erstrund: Not yet Arnold, but I will find one before I enter YF.

Meanwhile, Blitzkrieg had already entered Yonk Facilities inside somehow. After a quick look at the map of this giant building, by looking at the map through a shaft opening he could see through, Blitzkrieg started looking for the meeting room through the shafts he was hiding in. By now, Erstrund noticed an IS flying to him, and proceeded to perform the same act he did yesterday at the commander room as well. He took out his Mnemonic Tank, took out the memory chip from the IS, and inserted it into his invention while holding the giant crystal button for 5 seconds again.

Erstrund: One moment Arnold, I have found an IS. Let me see it's latest picture it has captured.

The hologram's screen maximized once again once Erstrund touched the latest picture and what Erstrund saw next was an infected sea nearby the harbor, with a dark greenish color in a large circle of the water, and pieces of trash could he see as well.

Erstrund: I see a toxic infected spot at sea, and it looks like it came from this very harbor I was in just now. Nevermind the picture for now, since it looks like it has nothing to do with my mission.

Arnold: Continue on with your mission please! Can you see the entrance building already?

Erstrund looked forward and what he saw was a giant building with the company's title encrypted at the front of it. Many glass floors could be seen and the building was almost entirely made out of the colors pink and orange.

Erstrund: I have found Yonk Facilities, I will now proceed to enter the building.

As Erstrund was saying this, he gave back the memory chip to IS# 515 and put his invention back inside his right pocket.

Erstrund: Will we continue establishing contact, or do you want me to break it down now and contact you later?

Arnold: I believe that we should remain contact. And promise me this, do not attempt to talk to me during the meeting, or else other people will take note of your earphones.

Erstrund: Alright then, but I will try to whisper to you if something is happening.

Arnold: Whisper very low then. Now, enter the building...

Then suddenly, a small beep sound could be heard through Erstrund's ears.

Erstrund: What is this!?

Arnold: It is Blitzkrieg trying to contact you! Break our connection, talk to him, then make contact with me again!

Erstrund: Understrood! Erstrund out.

Erstrund:....Erstrund here.

Blitzkrieg: Stop moving, right now.

Erstrund: Huh?

Blitzkrieg: First, give me the IS you have in your possesion, let it fly upwards into the sky, just outside the building, so that I can grab it.

Erstrund: Right, I was wondering about that, what I should do with this IS, but now I remember again.

Erstrund then told the IS to fly above, nearby YF's building, and he let it wait there for Blitzkrieg.

Blitzkrieg: Secondly, I will now give you my report so far on how things look inside.

Erstrund: I'm listening.

Blitzkrieg: I am now in one of the 2 shafts connected to the meeting room. The table at the middle of the room looks large and can hold up to 20 people, so expect to see lots of people at the meeting. Currently, I can only see 4 guards guarding the room from 1 entrance. There is no else yet, since it is not time yet. Right now it is 11:30 AM, and as you know, the meeting start at 12:00 AM.

Erstrund: Yes...

Blitzkrieg: Right behind the meeting table, so opposed from the entrance door with the 4 guards, I see another room. It is a small research room of some kind, with stained glass visible, connecting the 2 rooms. I don't see any door connecting it, but I can see a Reploid lying on a bed, right next to the stained glass window, which is easily viewable from the meeting table. I suppose the Reploid has been put there for the attendants to see.

Erstrund: A Reploid? Could you describe how it looks like?

Blitzkrieg: Well, I can only describe it's side body, since it's head is sealed of by some kind of capsule and not viewable. It looks reddish, as in the color of crimson, and it has a white left hand. I cannot see beyond his head or his feet, but I think I can see some hair growing out of his head.

Erstrund: Hmm...

Blitzkrieg: Beyond the entrance doors is a naturish lobby room with many chairs, as well as elevators, stairs, toilet rooms and maintenance rooms nearby. That's all I think you should need to know.

Erstrund: Looks like it. I have send the IS now over, can you see it?

Blitzkrieg: Give me a second to get through this shaft...Yes, I can see it, and reach it if I get out of this shaft, jump down into the hallway with 2 guards patrolling the area, and use my customized boomerang to grab the IS and bring it over to me via one of the glass windows.

Erstrund: Okay, then, please try to get in possession of the IS. Meanwhile, I will get inside, tell the employees that I have arrived, and wait for the meeting to begin. I will also break contact with you for now, so that I can let Arnold help me out further. Is that ok with you?

Blitzkrieg: Just give me some time for obtaining the IS, then if anything happens, I will contact you again.

Erstrund: Good luck Blitzkrieg.

Blitzkrieg: Same to you soon, Dr.Erstrund.

Erstrund: Erstrund out...Hello Arnold?

Arnold: Hey, what did Blitzkrieg tell you?

Erstrund: He gave me a report about the meeting room and it's surroundings, and he confirmed that he has seen the IS which I have sent over to him. He will now to try to get a hold of it. That's all, really.

Arnold: I see. Well, since it is not time for the meeting yet, I suggest to calm down and clear your mind now, and get ready for the meeting.

Erstrund: I think I will look for a glass of water yeah.

Arnold: Good idea.

Erstrund: I will now enter the building. Stay sharp, Arnold.

Arnold: Especially you, Dr.Erstrund, and good luck with the meeting and of course, our mission.

You are correct, THAT is a pata.

Sooo, I was kind of wondering, what you guys think of Erstrund, the main character, so far?

[Dr. Wily II]

Yes, the part where the action starts, and might get graphic...

Part 2

-----

Erstrund began entering Yonk Facilities through means of the giant stairs before the entrance. Then when he arrived at the entrance, two more guards stood there, observing the area in front of the building, and they both took a quick look at Erstrund, and then looked at the area again. Erstrund walked a bit more slowly, but then he thought it would be no problem to pass these guards, so he entered the building. And they let him through. What Erstrund saw inside though was intimidating to see: The entrance room was heavily secured by many guards, surveillance camera's and even laser beams protecting the stairs and elevators. Security panels, which reminded Erstrund from Maverick Hunter Headquarters, could also be seen, and it seemed that these panels were the same as in the giant hangar, where one needs to press all 10 fingers to proceed. He could also see gates where guards stood guard, and it seemed that persons had to pass through these gates to access the rest of the building. A male receptionist at a desk to the right of Erstrund walked towards him.

Erstrund: (Looks like I won't find a glass of water around here...)

Male receptionist: Can I help you?

Erstrund: Yes, I am an invited person for the meeting which starts at 12:00 AM.

Male receptionist: Ah yes, some others have arrived as well, they are currently walking towards the lobby room before the meeting room all the way up of this building. Guided by our guards of course.


Erstrund: I see.

Male receptionist: Well then, your name, gender, and occupation please.

Erstrund: Gender?

Male receptionist: I don't mean male or female. I mean human or Reploid by that.

Erstrund: Oh, heh. Well, my name is Dr.Erstrund, and I am a Reploid. My occupation is designing helpful inventions for my company Herakto Inc., and ultimately for our world as well. I am a head scientist of my company who helps and teaches colleagues, and I administrate some works as well.

Male receptionist: Thank you. Now, let's go over to my office desk, and check the registry list of the attended people who will participate for this meeting.

Erstrund and the male receptionist walked to his desk and the receptionist told his colleague to check up on the name Erstrund, and after a quick moment the colleague hand gestured it was OK. The male receptionist then turned around and said:

Male receptionist: It is correct, we found you on the list. Now, I will pick up a card.

He picked one card from the many blank cards on the desk.

Male receptionist: And now you will have to write your name, your autograph, and once again your gender please.

The receptionist then gave Erstrund a pen and Erstrund did not hesistate and wrote down everything Yonk Facilities asked from him. He then showed it to the receptionist.

Male receptionist: Now you are done with me. You may now enter through the gates over there, and enter the elevator, to reach for the floor before the top floor of this building.

Erstrund: Thanks.

The receptionist walked back to his desk and Erstrund walked to the gates. 1 out of the 3 guards then started speaking.

YF guard A: Your card please.

Erstrund gave it to him.

YF guard A: Dr.Erstrund, hmm...ok, you can proceed.

The guard stepped aside the gate then, and the road was clear for Erstrund to pass the gate now. All 3 guards looked at Erstrund, while Erstrund was thinking for himself:

Erstrund:(That went rather smoothly...)

He then walked through the gate, and 1 of the guards observed at a monitor Erstrund's body, since they were using an X-ray scan on him. Then suddenly a fast, but hard ringing sound was heard through the entrance room. It stopped very quickly though.

YF guard A: What the...hey man, I told you to turn the metal detector off! It is not needed on Reploids! How many times have I told you man?

YF guard C: Ah, sorry, I was a bit sleepy and slacking off I guess...

YF guard A: You STILL look sleepy to me. Get the hell out of here. Go get some fresh air outside, take a walk.

YF guard C: What!? But this is no big mistake, I will watch out next time!

YF guard B(sitting behind the monitor): Just go, we will handle it from here.

YF guard C: Hmph....

Guard C then stepped over the metal fence to the right of the gate Erstrund went through, and walked to the entrance doors which were still all the way open.

Arnold: Dr.Erstrund, do not worry.

Erstrund: !

YF guard A: Come back in 10 minutes will you! And don't dissapoint me again then.

YF guard C: Yeah yeah...

Guard A then looked at Erstrund.

YF guard A: Sorry for that, Dr.Erstrund. The metal detector is only used on humans, and my subordinate messed up.

Erstrund: No problem, I have been used to many beep sounds before, and this is nothing new.

YF guard A: Oh, ok. Well have a nice day. I suppose you will attend this meeting everyone is talking about?

Erstrund: Yes.

YF guard A: Ok. Say by the way...

Erstrund: ?

YF guard A: Nice looking earphones you have gotten there. What is it's purpose?

Erstrund: Oh, uh, it is to have contact with my colleagues and clients at my company all the time, in case they have questions.

YF guard A: I see.

Arnold: Good lie, Dr.Erstrund.

Erstrund: (Whispering) Thanks...

Erstrund then walked to the elevator in front of him, and he noticed the laser beams. He then of course stood still, and turned around to the guards for an answer for this.

YF Guard B: Oh, don't worry about those lasers, doctor. They look like they are turned on, but they are in fact on power mode now, that is, regenerating their maximum capacity to destroy enemies soon.

Erstrund: I see...(That sounds dangerous as well, those lasers)

Arnold: I know what you're thinking Dr.Erstrund, but we have to focus on our mission, and let Blitzkrieg handle all of the security!

Erstrund then entered the elevator and pressed for floor 74 out of the 74 floors maximum and a few basement floors. And after a long elevator ride all the way up, since Erstrund was on floor 1 just now after all, the doors opened, and the naturish lobby room Blitzkrieg was talking about could be seen. As he stepped out of the elevator, he could see 3 persons, all sitting on a chair to the oppostie of the doors to the meeting room. He first looked at a clock on a wall nearby, noticing that it's 11:55 AM. As he turned his face to the 3 persons again, and by now the 3 persons noticed Erstrund as well, the doors to the meeting room suddenly opened, and the 4 guards there came out of it.

YF guard D: You may now enter the meeting room, but not before we give you a specific injection.

???: Injection? Is this even more security?

YF guard D: Well, kind of. It is actually in fact your ticket to the exit of this building.

???: Huh?

Erstrund: (Injection?)

Arnold: Did I hear the word injection? I have no idea what this means, but you gotta cooperate, Dr. Erstrund.

Erstrund:(Whispering) I understand.

Erstrund and the 3 persons then walked to the 4 guards, and 1 of the guards had a needle with the so called injection in his hands. This guard then gave all 3 persons and Erstrund the injectionm, all on their left wrist.

YF guard G: That's it. No pain, no weird feelings, just a small injection so that you can leave this building after your meeting.

???:Why do we need this?

YF guard D: I can only tell you why, but do not question how this works. This injection is needed for your 10 fingers to use the security panels throughout our building, but only for a certain amount of time, which is from 12:00 AM till 18:00 AM.

Erstrund: (Now I get it!)

YF guard F: You may now enter the meeting room freely.

YF guard E: And we shall stand guard at these doors, to protect you all.

???: Sickly kind of security if you ask me, but ok.

Then the 3 persons and Erstrund walked inside the room. What Erstrund saw was the giant table with 20 chairs, the small research room at the back of the meeting room which Blitzkrieg was talking about, as well as that reddish looking Reploid. And this Reploid's head could clearly not be seen.

Erstrund: (So he was right.)

Erstrund then looked further. At the very same wall which connected the small research room and this room, a giant tv screen could be seen. And on the screen, a view of the very table standing before Ertrund could be seen.

Erstrund(Whispering) Arnold, I can see a giant tv screen. I believe it is now recording and broadcasting live, on the very same room I am in right now. I do not know where the camera or camera's are who are observing this room.

Arnold: Well, it should be broadcasting live. Because we have been promised that the world could watch the meeting from beginning till end as well.

Erstrund: Yes...

Erstrund then looked even more through the room, and saw 1 person sitting at the end of the table, right under the giant tv screen. He looked as an important person which will attend the meeting as well, and he did not seem to recognize him. The right wall of the meeting room featured a huge world map, and the left wall had 3 windows closed from the outside, while the floor, the ceiling and the walls themselves were beautifully decorated with the colors pink and orange, and representing Yonk Facilities was a giant symbol on the table itself which was 2 gears and a telescope in the middle of the gears.

Arnold: Anything else you see, Erstrund? What about Dr.Unqwai?

Erstrund:(Whispering, and holding his hand before his mouth while sitting down on a chair at about the middle of the table, the left side.) Just now, me and 3 other persons have entered the building, and 1 person at the end of the meeting table sits there already , which seemed to be busy reading some papers. Dr.Unqwai is not here yet.

Arnold: I see. Could you describe these 4 persons?

Erstrund: (Whispering)Well...

As Erstrund said this, he looked at the 3 persons first, attempting to sit down on chairs. 1 of the persons sat down to the opposite of Erstrund, so in the middle at the right side of the table, and the other two sat down next to each other on far right end of the table, from Erstrund's point of view.

Erstrund: (Whispering)The first person has a purplish helmet with silver upper parts and a shiny diamond on his forehead, and is dressed with a white coat. The two other persons, let's see.

Erstrund looked at the other two persons.

Erstrund: (Whispering)One of them looks like an old duck with some kind of red tentacles behind his back, I think... and the other person is this girl which looks like a nurse of some kind, perhaps a Reploid, I do not know.

Arnold: How about you ask their names, Dr.Erstrund?

Erstrund: (Whispering)Well, that should be no problem.

???: Excuse me...

Erstrund then looked up, to the person sitting opposite from him.

???: I am curious, sorry, but why are you talking to yourself?

Erstrund: Eh? Well that's because I am answering questions from my colleagues through these earphones, and I am not talking to myself.

???: Ah, wonderful, such communication. What is your name?

Erstrund: Dr.Erstrund, you?

???: Dr.Gate, Dr.Erstrund. Dr.Gate.

Erstrund: I see...

Arnold: Never heard of a Dr.Gate...

Erstrund: Excuse me.

Gate: Hmm?

Erstrund then stood up and walked to the other 2 persons, and greeted them.

Erstrund: Good day. I am Dr.Erstrund.

???: Ah, good day!

???: Good day mister!

They both shook hands with Erstrund, and all 3 of them smiled.

???: I am Dr.Gaudile, and I hope this meeting will turn out fine for all of us.

Erstrund: I hope so too, Dr.Gaudile...!! You are THE Dr.Gaudile!?

Arnold: I was about to ask that too!

Gaudile: Yes yes, the one from Giga City, still alive and well. I guess you know me somehow.

Erstrund: Of course, you are a great scientist and engineering Reploid who specializes with Force Metals!

Gaudile: Yes... I still work with them. They have many secrets left yet.

Erstrund: Just wait, Dr.Gaudile, until I show you my latest invention at this meeting! I bet you will get overwhelmed by it!

Gaudile: Really? Hmm, now you have made me curious. I will look forward to it Dr.Erstrund!

Gaudile: Oh, and this is Cinnamon, my biggest treasure, and daughter.

Cinnamon: Nice to meet you mister!

Erstrund: Daughter huh? Pleased to meet you too. I wonder though, you don't look like a doctor or scientist to me.

Gaudile: Well that's right, because she will just listen to the others of this table, and support me through this meeting. I did not want to bring her along, but she insisted to attend as well, and that's the story.

Erstrund: Haha, I see.

Cinnamon: I am very curious to the outcome of this meeting, mister Erstrund!

Gaudile: As do we all.

Erstrund: Well, I will return to my chair now.

Gaudile: Do that, and let us perform well, all of us!

Erstrund: Yes, well it looks like not everyone is here yet.

Gaudile: There will be many more soon at 12:00 AM. It is now 11:58 AM, as I can see on the clock nearby the doors.

Erstrund: I see.

Erstrund then gave a quick smile to Gaudile and Cinnamon and walked back to his chair, and sat on it. Dr.Gate then started talknig again.

Gate: Oh, so you went to greet them?

Erstrund: Yes, Dr.Gaudile and his daughter Cinnamon.

Gate: Dr.Gaudile yes, quite an interesting Reploid.

Gate then looked to the small research room through the stained glass window, and then looked back at Erstrund.

Gate: Have you noticed it Dr.Erstrund?

Erstrund: That research room?

Gate: Well, more precisely that Reploid over there in that room.

Erstrund: Ah, yes, I noticed the Reploid.

Gate: It's strange...it looks familiar to me...I suppose this Reploid has been set up for us, interesting.

Erstrund: Hmm...

Then the 4th person suddenly stood up, and spoke up.

???: Ah, Dr.Erstrund, Dr.Gate and Dr.Gaudile, how pleasant of you to attend this meeting. The time is now 11:59 AM, and soon this room will be crowded with more doctors, guards and even some press people which will broadcast live, and everyone in the world will be able to watch the meeting as well.

All 3 doctors just looked at the person, not exactly knowing who he was.

???: I understand you do not know me yet, but please be a bit more patient, as I will announce my name at the beginning of this meeting soon, after the introductions of every attendent one. In 1 minute, it will all start.

Gate: Pardon the interruption, but I have an itchy question which needs an answer.

???: Which is?

Gate: Who is that Reploid sitting on that bed over there, in that small research room?

???: Oh, that? Well, he is our most important guest during this meeting, I can tell you that, but no more for now. Soon, Dr.Unqwai and his assistant, Dr.Celeste, will explain everything about this Reploid, don't you worry about that.

Erstrund: (Dr.Unqwai!?!)

Arnold: Dr.Erstrund, he said Dr.Unqwai!

Erstrund:(Whispering) Yes Arnold, I noticed.

???: Now, let us wait, until everyone has arrived.

It seems that I will have to look for Part 3 on my hard drive.


Posted on: January 01, 2009, 16:48:27spoiler

Part 3

The time was now 12:00 PM, and just as the clock stopped ticking at the number 12 for a second, the entrance doors to the meeting room opened once again, and 3 guards could be seen talking with people walking this way, while the 4th one was giving injections to all of the attendants, as well as the press people , for insuring maximum security and safety. Dr.Erstrund looked curiously at all of the people coming to the table, and he was so suprised that he only looked a mere 2 seconds at most of them before looking at the next person. It was no doubt that these people were not your every day average looking person. Everything happened fast during these seconds, and every attendant immediately took a seat on the giant table, while the press people started gathering around the table from both sides; left and right. Right when everyone took a seat, and all of the 20 chairs were in use, the 4 guards looked one more quick time through the room, noticing the 2 surveillance camera's in this room, and they confirmed that they were working correctly. Then they closed the entrance doors and stood guard at the other side, in the naturish lobby room. The mysterious 4th person Erstrund saw before everyone arrived just now attempted to quiet down the attendants as well as the press people, and he succeeded.

???: Welcome, welcome to this groundbreaking day, which shall be remembered in the history books soon, no doubt. I thank everyone of you to come over to this important meeting, and as you might know, this is the first time we have estabilished so many connections to let this meeting be able to be reality.

Pretty much all attendants were paying attention to the person at this point. Erstrund listened carefully as well.

Arnold: Looks like it has started finally Dr.Erstrund.

???: I know, and you know, that this will be a long day. But before we begin with a series of serious topics to be discussed about, I would like to read out loud the attendant list, to see if everyone has arrived. Also, please confirm your arrival if I mention you on this list.

???: One more thing, do not try to ask too many questions during the introductions. I would not like to see much chaos being present during this meeting.

The person then gave the attendant list to what seemed to be an employee subordinate of the person, and this employee started reading out loud the list.

YF Employee: Dr.Zejaf, Human, who represents Curcil City.

Zejaf: Over here.

YF Employee: Please welcome Dr.Zejaf!

And the whole meeting room started applauding him. The employee then continued.

YF Employee: He is specialized in ways of communication and security tools. He is also a researcher on the Infected Zone and it’s inhabitants, and has developed many defense systems inside Reploid cities against the Mavericks from the Infected Zone.

Zejaf: May I remind you all though that these defense systems are quite different from the late Illusional Dergur Corporations's.

???: We understand, and I personally have also heard in the news that you were prejudiced from various people that you stole and replaced their defense systems.

Zejaf: That is why I tried to convince you just now, to not think like those individuals.

???: Yes, but continue the list now please.

YF Employee: Dr.Gate, Reploid, who represents Maverick Hunters Headquarters.

Gate: Yours truly.

YF Employee:  Please welcome Dr.Gate!

4 seconds later:

YF Employee: He is specialized into researching Reploids, and regulary deploys investigation teams to the Infected Zone through communication with Dr.Zejaf. Dr.Gate has had a wrong past, who illegaly revived his former 8 anthropomorphic researcher Reploids working under him, and threatened Maverick Hunters and humans back then. But he has now learned from these mistakes, and supports the Maverick Hunters and humans right now.

Gate: Yes, that was a quite a disasting situation. I have washed the blood of my hands now though.

???: Continue please.

YF Employee: Mister Yonk himself, human, mayor of Yonk City, will represent his city.

Yonk: Hello dear scientists.

YF Employee: Please welcome mister Yonk!

4 seconds later.

YF Employee: He has no speciliazations in science, but he has great influence and authority over Yonk City, and is executive officer of several organizations working under him, such as his police Reploid force. He has been taking note especially of certain companies such as Yonk Facilities and Herakto Inc. , and has been working with them with success, to keep Yonk City and other cities as safe and secured as possible.

Yonk: I am glad with companies like that, really.

???: They have both done great work, indeed. But please continue now with the list.

YF Employee: Dr.Gaudile, Reploid, who will represent Giga City.

Gaudile: That would be me.

YF Employee: Please welcome Dr.Gaudile!

Cinnamon: Yay!

4 seconds later:

YF Employee: He is a veteran specialized into Force Metal research, and has created many revolutionary inventions surrounding these mysterious space metals, for the field of Reploid engineering. He still conducts research into Force Metals today, and has become one of the leaders and overseers of Giga City.

Gaudile: All for the sake of science.

???: Yes, yes...now, the next person on the list.

YF Employee: That would be Dr.Erstrund, Reploid, who will represent Herakto Inc. .

Erstrund: !

Arnold: Wow, it's your turn now is it?

???: He is sitting right over there, attendants.

And everyone looked at Erstrund, and he became feeling a bit nervous.

YF Employee: Please welcome Dr.Erstrund!

4 seconds later:

YF Employee: He is one of the 3 head researchers of Herakto Inc. , and has made several inventions for the company and the world as he himself quoted, including the revolutionary Information Scanners. He is specialised into collecting information of all kinds, and will show us today his latest invention as well.

Erstrund then reached for his right pocket and felt that his Grand Invention was still there.

???: Anything you wish to say, Dr.Erstrund?

Erstrund: Well, uhm, look forward to my invention, because I am convinced by it myself that it will be revolutionary once again.

Gaudile: Interesting.

???: Allright then, we shall look forward to it. Next!

YF Employee: The next attendant is... mister Idugo, human, who will represent Herakto Inc. as well.

Idugo: ...

???: Mister Idugo, is he present?

Idugo: Yes.

Erstrund: (I don't know a mister Idugo at my company... must be from Rodomar or Happat's section.)

YF Employee: Please welcome mister Idugo!

4 seconds later:

YF Employee: He also has no branches into science, but is the administrator instead of the 2 satellites who are currently into construction by Herakto Inc. at this moment.

???: That's it? Nothing else?

YF Employee: Nothing else of information is on this list about mister Idugo.

???: Then, could you please provide more information about these 2 satellites?

Idugo: Certainly. They are the idea of mine and Dr.Happat together. And pardon the interuption, but, Dr.Erstrund, I am sorry for not sharing with you our idea yet.

Erstrund: Huh?

Idugo: We have secretly taken 2 IS's in the outside world back to Herakto Inc. and have sadly modified them and we placed them then, inside these 2 satellies, so that they can function inside the satellites now.

Erstrund: So, you two are preparing 2 giant versions of my IS's, am I correct?

Idugo: Yes.

Erstrund: Nothing else is planned for the satellites?

Idugo: Nothing, other than we are preparing a space control station specifically designed for controlling these 2 satellites.

Erstrund: So, there semi Identity Cores have been taken out huh?

Idugo: Indeed.

???: Are you 2 gentlemen done? We would like to continue now.

Idugo: Of course.

Erstrund: (A bit odd that this Idugo is today here on the meeting as well, but it should be ok...)

YF Employee: Next up is Dr. Rodomar, Reploid, who ALSO will represent Herakto Inc. .

Erstrund: (What, Rodomar!?)

Zejaf: What is the deal with 3 people representing a company?

Gate: Must be quite important persons, all of them.

Zejaf: Hmpf.

Rodomar: Over here, president.

YF Employee: Please welcome Dr.Rodomar!

Rodomar then turned himself to Erstrund.

Rodomar: So, you finally noticed me, huh? I can see it at the look of your face.

Erstrund: Why are you here!?

Rodomar: That employee will tell you soon.

YF Employee: He is another head researcher at Herakto Inc. who has recently donated all of his Zennies, or so he says, to Yonk Facilities, or to be more precise, Dr.Unqwai and his team.

Erstrund:(What the!)

YF Employee: He specializes into transportation through motorways and rails, as well as the sky, sea and underground areas. He is the creator of the famous Herakto Express, and has saved his own company in the past as well from Maverick attacks. He is considered the hero of Herakto Inc. these days, according to his colleagues.

Rodomar: Everyone, I made that donation because, after I heard of what Dr.Unqwai and his team were researching into, I was absolutely convinced of the discoveries his team has made, even though YF's last science team, which created Replenish, was amazing as well, this time I am sure of it that my donation was right.

Erstrund: So that's why you are here...

Rodomar: To oversee over Dr.Unqwai and his research of course, and I will even help with the research.

???: Excellent, and once again, thank you for your great donation.

YF Employee: May I continue?

???: Yes, we are almost done I think.

YF Employee: And now on the list is Bynhar, human, who will represent the fallen Illusional Dergur Corporation.

Erstrund: (IDC?)

Gate: IDC?

Idugo: IDC?

Gaudile: IDC?

And many others were suprised as well.

???: Please calm down, everyone.

YF Employee: Please welcome Bynhar!

This time, the applauding was much more weakening than normally, it sounded uncertain.

Bynhar: Good day, I hope I have not intimidated some of you already, If I did, I am truly sorry.

???: Don't worry, they will get used to you soon, I think.

YF Employee: He was the personal advisor of Dergur, the entrepreneur and founder of IDC. He advised him personally of the company, it's defense systems, the Replenloids and Replenish itself. He has stated to Yonk Facilities that he is willing to bring out more information about IDC today, and before this day has been hiding all the time from the media, as well as Maverick Hunters. Only through a personal meeting with our president was mister Bynhar allowed to attend this meeting.

Yonk: Interesting, I have heard about Dergur's advisor many times in the past, but I pictured him quite differently than you look like now. Oh well.

Bynhar: Yes, I was successfull, and I don't say that because I am selfish, I say that because it is true. Dergur was really glad with me and I was one of his most trusted persons.

Rodomar: So, did you broke the law anytime, have made any crime, during IDC's reign?

Bynhar: Of course, and I will get arrested, after this meeting.

Erstrund: !

Zejaf: So, a criminal of the infamous IDC company is sitting right next to us respected attendants, how inappropiate.

???: It might seem inappropiate at first, but rest assured, me and Bynhar have discussed his confession about his crimes, and he definitely did not commit serious crimes like his boss Dergur or other people at IDC.

Bynhar: I hope I can provide enough and helpful information about IDC during this meeting.

Gate: So this is the first time we might get even information about why IDC went at war against the world, am I right?

???: Well, possibly. Bynhar?

Bynhar: No comment at this moment.

Gate: Hmm... I guess I, and other persons, will personally ask you, soon enough.

Bynhar:...

???: Next attendant please.

YF Employee: The list is coming to a close very soon. Let's see, Dr.Weil, human, will represent Neo Arcadia, the future utopia visioned by legendary Maverick Hunter X.

Weil: I am Weil.

Erstrund and the rest of the attendants then looked at Dr.Weil. He looked like a human in his fifties, late fifties, and plenty of greyish hair, and was dressed with an unusual dark blackish science coat, unlike the many white coats sitting on the table right now.

Bynhar: Neo Arcadia, huh?

YF Employee: Please welcome Dr.Weil!

The applauding seemed pretty hard this time.

4 seconds later:

YF Employee: He is the replacement supervisor of Maverick Hunter X, who at this time is still heavily fighting for everlasting peace. Dr.Weil is a licensed DNA Specialist who has the legal right to revive fallen Reploids.

Erstrund: (A license for reviving Reploids!?)

YF Employee: He also has made useful weapons against the Mavericks of today. During this meeting, he also like Dr.Erstrund will show us all his latest invention, or weapon against the Mavericks.

Weil: I would like to say that the construction of Neo Arcadia is on schedule, and that in a few years, it will be ready for humans and Reploids alike to populate into. However, I must sadly tell you all that I cannot answer too much questions regarding Neo Arcadia, since it is a strict and secret construction plan after all.

???: Even it's location is not clear to us or other companies yet.

Zejaf: Really? Gosh.

Gate: I, however have a quick question for Dr.Weil.

Weil: Which is ?

Gate: Well, since I illegaly revived Reploids in the past, I am interested about how you acquired this license to revive Reploids. Could you answer that please?

Weil: I am sorry, I cannot answer that. Perhaps if you get the chance to speak to X, he might drop a clue or reason, for why I have a license for such matters.

Gate: I will remember that. X is my savior after all.

Erstrund: (As will I.)

???: Right, the next attendant please!

YF Employee: Well, the last persons on this list are Dr.Unqwai, Reploid, and Dr.Celeste, human, who both represent Yonk Facilities.

Erstrund: !

Arnold: Finally!

???: Wait a moment, I will call them up now...Dr.Unqwai? You may enter the room now.

Just then, a loud sound could be heard, and a small elevator appeared in the small research room behind the mysterious president of the meeting. 2 persons were on the lift, and the lift came from above and landed in the middle of the small research room.

???: Everyone, please look at this small research room, and welcome Dr.Unqwai and Dr.Celeste!

6 seconds later:

???: Dr.Unqwai will speak to us through a microphone in that room.

Unqwai then walked to the microphone close to the Reploid on the bed and spoke:

Unqwai: Greetings, dear attendants, I am Dr.Unqwai. Are you ready for my foundations?

His voice could be heard through the whole meeting room, but Erstrund definitely was not sure were the sound came out of.

Unqwai then gave the microphone to his assistent.

Celeste: Hello everyone, I am Dr.Celeste, Dr.Unqwai's assistant!

???: Together they will demonstrate what they have discovered so far, regarding their latest project, project Elpis.

Then the employee started talking again:

YF Employee: Dr.Unqwai is the head chief scientist of project Elpis's team, and has many influence and rights through Yonk Facilities. Dr.Celeste is a young doctor with many potential according to Unqwai and other people, and she was the one who discovered the biggest mystery regarding the Reploid you can see now near the window of the research room.

Unqwai: You will definitely look forward to this, all of you!

Erstrund then looked carefully at Dr.Unqwai. He also looked like a veteran Reploid, and had a very unusual hairstyle, and it reminded Erstrund of 2 toilet papers sticked together on his head. He also backed his left arm all the time on his back.

YF Employee: And that is everyone on this list, sir.

???: Thank you for reading that out loud, all of it. Now, as I have promised, I will now reveal my name.

???: I am Sven, the new president of Yonk Facilities, and I am also the president of this meeting. I hope that is ok with all of you.

Idugo: No problem at all.

Sven: Good. Now, Let us combine our strength, intelligence and righteousness, and start the meeting.

And as this was happening, people all over the world were looking at the meeting as well.

Yuqer: Now, Dr.Erstrund, take note of Dr.Unqwai especially.

Chester: Finally, it has started. Now it gets really interesting.

And somewhere else in the YF building, a group of Maverick Hunters was rushing throughout the whole building and started guarding and patrolling everywhere, much to the YF guards's suprise. And the leader of this Maverick Hunter squad, confronted the 4 guards before the meeting room.

YF Guard D: Who are you?

Blitzkrieg by now had obtained the IS from outside, but has not deployed it for further instructions yet. He will wait, until Dr.Erstrund gets the chance to talk with Dr.Unqwai personally.

And lastly, in the sky above Yonk Facilities, an airship could be seen, and something came out of it...something furyish looking. Very furyish looking. It was heading for YF's helipad.

[Archer]

Hmm. Interesting~

[VirusChris]

That was fast! Going to have to re-read this again!

Have you posted this fanfic over at fanfiction.net? Might be a good idea if you do!

[Flok]

Dr.Wily II: Wow, 2 chapters to catch up on... 
And I'm surprised to see Gate, Cinnamon, Dr. Gaudile, and an Isoc-look-alike, but most surprising of all, Dr. Weil! D:

And Dr. Weil getting the license does sound suspicious, and this whole fic has started the main plot, and I'm getting tingling all over, anticipating the next chapter. 

Quote from: Killsringman on October 16, 2007, 20:40:55
Sooo, I was kind of wondering, what you guys think of Erstrund, the main character, so far?

Regarding this, I say he's like an unknowing hero, in a way, being suddenly pushed to undertake this mission.
But he's still an ordinary guy/Reploid, doing what he loves, research. 

VirusChris: It's awesome so far and... Dr. Weil!? This is getting interesting!

spoiler

Part 4: Suspicious Infected Zone

Just now, the introductions of the meeting are over. Everyone seems to have arrived in time, and now the real meat of the meeting shall start. Sven, Yonk Facilities's fresh and new president, shall guide the attendants through the topics they shall debate on together.

Erstrund: (Ok, so Unqwai is in that research room. Now when I get the opportunity to ask him a reasonable question regarding the current topic, I might be able to form a personal discussion with him in an area only us can talk privately in to.)

Erstrund then looked at the other attendants in the meeting room.

Erstrund: (However, I wish to participate and give my support to this meeting as well. I want to the impress them all by showing my Mnemonic CFM Tank, especially Dr.Gaudile, which I truely respect.)

Sven: Now then, our first topic we shall be discussing about will be the Infected Zone itself. The situation regarding the Maverick attacks of today looks unchanged, and with that I mean that it is currently not becoming worse, nor is it becoming any less as well. This was of course very different in the first 3 years of this gigantic Maverick outbreak.

Sven: Thanks to the authorities specialized into dealing with the Mavericks...

Zejaf: Including me.

Sven: ...Including you, Dr.Zejaf, in the beginning, as well as right now, the many Reploid cities that remain in this world are good secured from this plague called the Sigma Virus, and it's poor victims.

Weil: Objection to that. Where lies the confidence that you are so certain that these cities are entirely secured and safe from any more attacks?

Zejaf: Perhaps my defense systems might ring a bell inside your head?

Weil: How do these work again, these giant cannons? They can just destroy large groups of Mavericks, but are ineffective against small groups or even splitting groups, because of an amount of reasons.

Yonk: Hmm...

Zejaf: Are you seriously going to doubt about my defense systems, when it is known throughout humans and Reploids alike that they have been saved from additional Maverick attacks by them numerous amounts of times!?

Weil: Your damaging cannons are too explosive, and are truely slow when talking about reloading and changing their targets.

Zejaf: Of course, they are gigantic cannnons which needs gigantic cannon bullets to perform their duty! I see no negative point in their way of changing their target, considering how big they are, which makes it completely natural for them to change direction in such a slow pace. And what do you mean about them being too explosive?

Weil: There is a high chance many casualties completely unrelevant to Mavericks might get destroyed completely when they get the explosion right in their faces, be it humans or Reploids.

Zejaf: Don't dare, don't you DARE doubting my defense systems even more with your falsely assumptions.

Weil: Are you threatening me, or can you not handle the facts I am talking about?

Idugo: That's interesting. What are these facts you are talking about, Dr.Weil? Do you have any proof for example, that these cannons have hurt wrong targets?

Weil: For this ignorant doctor, I have plenty of evidence to support my declarations.

Zejaf: Ignorant!?

Sven: Now, calm down now Dr.Zejaf, and let us listen carefully.

Weil: Thank you. First of all, there are the newspapers of last week reporting several so called "incidents" outside Yonk City and other cities. They go in detail that victims have been made, and they were always found in a large hole, which was always full of flames and ash. According to the information I have requested about, these holes have been made by your own cannons.

Zejaf: How can you know that? There are so many other objects these days which can make large holes with ease, it would be like a gigantic guessing game, just to pick out my defense systems from the game to blame for these created victims!

Weil: As I said, I requested information, information needed to be sure that the cannons made the holes.

Zejaf: !

Weil: That's right, I paid a specific investigation team, and they gave me a report based on their expert opinions. And, I have this report with me today.

Weil then showed the report to the meeting table.

Sven: Ah, please let it go around for a while, so that everyone can take a look.

And when the report came in the hands of Erstrund, he read the report.

Erstrund:(Impact of these holes are so large that only two known objects can make them, which are either certain crashing (space)rockets or airplanes, or the giant cannon bullets from the defense systems found in the Reploid cities. Since remains of (space)rockets or airplanes were not found, it must have been the cannon bullets, since no other known object makes a hole like this. Every hole we investigated into was shaped like the rest of them, and when we got permission to test 1 giant cannon on an empty desert field, and we looked at that new hole, we were certain about it.)

Erstrund(Sounds like Dr.Weil is right.)

And after everyone read the report and Yonk got the report back:

Yonk: Well then, what do we think about this?

Bynhar: Definitely fired by the giant cannons, if we really are talking about “experts”.

Gate: No other objects other than spacecrafts are known to make these large holes huh? Then there remains no doubt in my mind then.

Rodomar: But are these all accidents, or is there more behind it?

Zejaf: How DARE YOU!

Weil: Tsk tsk. Several incidents have been made last week, not just one. 8 to be precise at different locations and cities. The victim count is somewhere here as well, let’s see…

Sven: I think we understand by now, Dr.Weil.

Gaudile: Certainly an odd amount of incidents at once…

Idugo:…

Unqwai: Sounds like everyone but Dr.Zejaf thinks alike. Dr.Zejaf, did you knew about these incidents?

Zejaf: Of course, I administrate them indirectly every day through my teams under me!

Gate: And with “them” you mean the giant cannons?

Zejaf: Yes, but why are you all still argueing over this? Shouldn’t we be talking about the Infected Zone instead?

Weil: We are dealing with the Infected Zone right now, idiot. To be more precise, several incidents made by these giant cannons have been inside the Infected Zone, not Reploid cities.

Zejaf: This has nothing to do with Mavericks or the Sigma Virus still plagueing almost the entire planet! Mister Sven, please, stop this nonsense.

Weil: Your cannons made terrible accidents ignorant fool, inbetween the seeds of chaos and the only paradises left on this planet! You are responsible for causing this harm!

Sven: That’s enough! Dr.Weil, stop cursing Dr.Zejaf, and Dr.Zejaf, please get a grip, start providing reasonable information, even when it feels painful sometimes.

Idugo: Like a pair of kids having a fight. But what’s this? Dr.Weil, did Dr.Zejaf cause the “incidents”?

Weil: Only because he designed the cannons in the first place. Besides, there is a high chance he fired the cannons anyway.

Idugo: Sigh…no hard evidence, no possible motive, no nothing for this claim of yours.

Yonk: I have to agree with Mister Idugo.

Bynhar: Same here.

Weil: Well, maybe not he himself, but he could had ordered someone else to fire the cannons randomly at innocent victims.

Erstrund: Or maybe Mavericks have fired the cannons?

Gaudile: Huh?

Zejaf: Even more bizarre accusations! Look at this, ha! All ganging up on me to get a point, or should I say pointing the finger at me! What’s next, are you gonna tell me I have made an alliance with Mavericks, or maybe I myself am a Maverick already? Ha, hahaha!

Erstrund: What is there to say that there is a possible chance of Mavericks using the cannons?

Zejaf: Detectors, and Maverick Hunter squads deployed by the gates to support my giant cannons! There is no way Mavericks could had passed the gates guarding the cities!

Weil: You really are an ignorant one, and suspicious too. According to the newspaper, no detectors were active those days to pick up the Reploid/human signals. And on those days, surprisingly there never was a Maverick Hunter squad nearby to aid the victims.

Bynhar: That’s what I read too.

Rodomar: Not a coincidence I think.

Weil: I request to have an investigation team deployed inside the cannons after this meeting,  to search for any clues or information there might be.

Zejaf: Information regarding WHAT?

 Weil: You ordering the firing of the cannons!

Zejaf: Damn your accusations!

He then slammed both of his arms on the YF table, and stood up. Everyone looked at Dr.Zejaf.

Zejaf: I have nothing else to add to this conversation, or meeting. I will get to the bottom of these incidents, and come back with the truth! I am making my leave, right now.

Sven: Wait Dr.Zejaf! We still need your opinion on the upcoming topics!

Zejaf: Yeah, and get shouted and beaten down again by these so called doctors? Maybe next time, in another life.

He then rushed to the double doors, and opened them wildly, and disappeared. Everyone was speechless for a second, but then, there was 1 more thing Zejaf still could hear before he got out:

Weil: Sure, you may run! Sooner or later you will walk straight to the facts and get stuck anyway!

Zejaf looked angered at the ground for a moment, but then looked up in the lobby room again, and he saw the 4 YF guards, and a Maverick Hunter. They seemed to be in a discussion, but instantly looked at Zejaf when he came rushing through. As Zejaf closed the doors to the meeting, new questions rose up for the doctor:

YF Guard D: What the? Is the meeting over already?

Zejaf: Of course not. Now let me through!

YF Guard G: What happened?

Zejaf did not answer and pushed the guards out of his way and entered the elevator. As the elevator doors closed, the guards and the Maverick Hunter looked at each other again.

???: Was that one of the doctors attending the meeting?

YF Guard D: Yes, that was Dr.Zejaf.

YF Guard: F: I wondered what happened to him, and the meeting…

YF Guard E: The meeting! Is everything alright in there!? We should check it out right now!

YF Guard D: Wait, do you hear anything inside the room?

YF Guard E: Nothing…

YF Guard D: What I think happened just now is that Dr.Zejaf lost a discussion, and left the meeting.

???: Most likely. Anyway, looks like the meeting is still going on.

YF Guard D: It will still go on for 5 more hours and 30 minutes, Burden Mosquito.

Burden Mosquito: Yes, but have we made an agreement?

YF Guard D: Well, it seems to be no problem for me, although are you sure that you and your squad should still be sticking around Yonk City?

Burden Mosquito: Definitely, we were ordered by X to guard Yonk City. Most of my squad just happens to be inside this building, although I still have deployed some scout units around the city in case of an emergency.

YF Guard D: Very well then. You are free to guard this building together with us YF guard. There probaply will not be any trouble though.

Burden Mosquito: Perhaps, but my instincts are feeling itchy around here…something is not right. I will have a look around the building now, if you excuse me.

YF Guard D: Okay, we shall stay here for protection.

And as the conversation between the Reploids ended, inside the meeting room, president Sven was about to end the topic about the Infected Zone.

Sven: …Any last thoughts on this subject? Anything out of the order, unusual, or helpful for us to know about? How about you Dr.Gate?

Gate:  My investigation teams deployed around the Infected Zone have made no real progress regarding the original starting location of the sudden outbreak 3 years ago. Even though it was quite obvious that Dergur is the cause of this,  all my teams have found so far only massive amounts of Mavericks in the Infected Zone.

Sven: Anyone else?

Long seconds passed.

Sven: No? Alright then, we can close this topic. After all, there is not much else to talk about in the Infected Zone anyway, we simply know that we must clean the zone away from the Mavericks and Sigma Virus.

Suddenly, a loud sound could be heard from the meeting room’s ceiling. It was not an explosive, but it sounded like something had just landed on top of Yonk Facilities.

*BOOM*

Gaudile:What was that!?

Several doctors looked up at the ceiling.

Sven: Calm down, we must continue our meeting inside here, I will now contact the guards about this sudden moment.

YF Guard D: President Sven.

Sven: Did you hear that loud sound just now?

YF Guard D: Yes sir, I will contact the other guards to go and investigate. It came from above right?

Sven: That’s right. Call me again when you have found the source of this sound.

YF Guard D: Roger that.

Sven then dropped the earphones he grabbed underneath the YF table, and spoke to the attendants once again.

Sven: Now then, our next topic will be about Replenish, and the team that created it.

Meanwhile, at the roof of the YF building, the furyish looking Reploid spoke to the bodyguards at the helipad.

???: Now, the first thing to deal with is to return all the curious guards back to their patrolling duties in a minute. Do you understand?

U Bodyguard A: What, why are you here today, Ignite?

Ignite: Ask me one more question and I will gladly fry your brains out of your head.
U Bodyguard A:... We understand.

U Bodyguard B: I will contact the other bodyguards and Unqwai to…

Ignite: NO, not Unqwai! I need to personally meet him, where is he?

U Bodyguard B: Attending a meeting now, I don’t think he has the time today…

Ignite: Oh, but I will force you to make him give time for me. Arrange a meeting for me and him only, in a closed room where only us 2 can speak.

U Bodyguard B: I don’t have any choice, do I? Let me think about a room for a moment.

*BEEP* *BEEP*

Ignite: Yes, yes, what is it? What? Oh Chief, I thought you weren’t onboard the ship…oh you just arrived? To guide me? Thank you Chief, really. That’s an honor for me. I won’t disobey you.

Ignite: So, have you made up your mind?

U Bodyguard B: I think a simple toilet room will do, since most other rooms today are crowded with guards because of the meeting.

Ignite: Just make of an excuse for Unqwai to enter the toilet room, and I will take care of the rest.

U Bodyguard B: The rest…?

U Bodyguard A: Shut it idiot!

Ignite then destroyed B with 2 flamethrowers which quickly appeared under both of his wrists. The flames covered his whole body and B then collapsed on the ground, completely fried.

Ignite: You take over his order, RIGHT NOW!

U Bodyguard A: Yes sir!

Ignite: Useless! Reploids like you have no right to ask questions to the ones in higher position!

The furyish Reploid then just stood there, and looked up, as if he was looking for the airship that dropped him.

Ignite: Hmm…

Dr.Wily II: Wow, Dr. Weil sure knows how to stir up discussions... 
But seriously could Dr. Zejaf really committed those acts, only he knows...

And now, another Maverick appears, who reminds me of Fistleo...
Burden Mosquito, Hunter right? Just needed to make sure.

And lastly,

Quote from: Killsringman on October 18, 2007, 13:15:09
This is the last old part/chapter from Atomic Fire, which means that the daily updates will stop. I do not know yet when the next part of Chapter 8 will come, but it should be not too far away, considering the positive comments I have gotten from you guys. I will definitely have to sit and concentrate for the next part to come though.

Just take your time.
We will be patient for the next chapter. 

VirusChris: This is getting so excited! I can wait until you post again, means better planned out story right?

Also I'm been thinking about the whole "Axl" thing in your story, Axl doesn't appear in MMZ (for reasons only Capcom knows and Keiji) and you said in the beginning, quoting me I think, that Axl while be in the story but not a personal appearance just dicussing about him. Will your story lead to why Axl disappear and appear in ZXA as Model A?

I never thought about putting this story on fanfiction.net. I think that I will first finish the story at RPM before transporting it to that site as well. Thanks for reminding me of that possibility.

Posted on: January 07, 2009, 20:51:03

I will let other characters talk about Axl, that’s for sure, and I might even feature him in flashbacks. But I doubt that he will make an appearance in the story itself. But, I will promise you that when Axl’s disappearance is the topic of the day in Mega Man Data, that it shall get interesting. I can tell you this already, I will tell in the future in my own fictional way about how Axl finally disappeared from X, Zero and the Maverick Hunters.

Part 5: All About Replenish

Previously, the topic was about the Infected Zone, home of thousands of infected Mavericks. During this discussion, Dr.Zejaf was unfortunately offended by Dr.Weil and presumed that everyone was ganging up on him. Thus, Zejaf left the building, in search for the truth.

Sven: Right now, the topic will be all about Replenish.

Gaudile: Oh boy…

Idugo: Good riddance. Do we really have to talk about this failure?

Yonk: Of course, if you understand that history teaches us wisdom for the future.

Bynhar: Well, atleast I would like to discuss anything about Replenish. Where do we start?

Sven: Let me first introduce you the team behind Replenish. I am sure that some of you recognize everyone of them at first glance, but perhaps there is a chance you have never heard of them.

Sven then revealed from under his chair papers with the profiles of the Replenish team.

Sven: Let us from now on refer to the team as the R team, or Replenish team. I will now let these profiles go all around the table again. Take a look now ladies and gentlemen.

As the profiles were carefully getting read by all of the attendants, Sven turned around his chair, moved it to the stained glass part of the meeting room, and spoke to Dr.Unqwai.

Sven: Are you ready now for the speech about Replenish, Dr.Unqwai?

Unqwai: Certainly, my mind and memories are very sharp about this topic.

Sven: Okay, please wait until the profile papers are back in my hands.

And as the papers reached Erstrund, he began reading them.

Erstrund: This could be interesting, I never knew this R team personally, I just remember them from the news.

Erstrund:(Head of the team: Dr. Cin Eimstralla, Reploid. Current status: Missing individual.)

Erstrund:(Research and development: Dr. Globol Ferge, Reploid. Current status: Manager of Tin & Rusty Equipment Garage.)

Erstrund:(Analyst: Dr. Hihan Swear, Reploid. Current status: Missing individual, presumed to be hiding in Yonk City.)

Erstrund:(Immunology: Dr. Trett Daihanduvich, Reploid. Current status: In semi-retirement, in an uncertain long break.)

Erstrund: Hmm, an all Reploid team…

Sven: Dear attendants, please focus your attention to Dr. Trett. He was the key person of the team, and thanks to him, the R team was created.

Weil: Thanks to his foundations and studies of the known viruses, it was he who convinced Dergur Corporation and Yonk Facilities to start research on a possible antivirus program which could successfully eliminate any known virus about 100 years ago.

Gate: I see that Dr.Weil knows what he’s talking about. What is your opinion on Replenish?

Weil: It’s a failure after all. But in the beginning, no one bothered to think of the consequences Replenish would have on the Mavericks who were not infected. That is why Replenish was a gift from heaven for being able to eliminate any virus, including the Sigma virus, but once the abuse came, everyone started fearing the so called Replenloids.

Erstrund: The 2nd generation Reploids…

Sven: Hmm, Dr.Erstrund? Do you have something to say?

Erstrund: Erm? No, I was just thinking out loud.

Arnold: Erstrund? You okay?

Erstrund:(whispering)Yeah, it’s just that it looks like we will talk about the Replenloids again.

Arnold: So you have been hearing a lot of them recently huh?

Erstrund:(whispering)Yes.

By now, Sven got the profile papers back, and nodded to Dr.Unqwai to start the speech.

Unqwai: *Ahem*, Indeed, it was Dr.Trett who started the legacy of the program called Replenish, as Dr.Weil stated. After Dr.Globol helped Dr.Trett with creating the program, and Dr.Hihan analyzed the known viruses and the developing Replenish, Dr.Trett was the one who attended the tests that Replenish had to reach through, while Dr.Cin made the tests.

Gate: Replenish eliminated the Nightmare virus.

Unqwai: Correct, that was one of the tests. It also had the ability to refresh Reploids from their damage, and update their immunity systems, protecting their Identity Core much better against viruses and errors.

Gaudile: Refresh and update Reploids huh? It reminds me a bit of Force Metal.

Unqwai: I see what you mean, Dr.Gaudile. But Replenish and Force Metal are vastly different from each other though.

Bynhar: From what I remember, Replenish also has this nasty side effect, what was it again…memory loss?

Unqwai: That’s the sad truth. Because of this side effect, memories of the implemented Replenloids, who had Replenish inside them from the start, and Reploids who were injected with Replenish, were gone and had a fresh start of reality.

Rodomar: Wait, that doesn’t sound right. You just said that Replenloids had Replenish implemented from the start.

Unqwai: And?

Rodomar: That means from the day the Replenloids were first created right? Produced by humans or fellow Reploids, whatever the case. That would logically mean that there is no such thing as memory for these Reploids!

Unqwai: Ah, like that. I forgot to mention, but there has been experiments in the past that 1st generation Reploids were sometimes fused with Replenish.

Rodomar: Really!? I never knew this, how odd.

Idugo: Fascinating.

Yonk: That is unknown information to me as well.

Unqwai: That’s because these experiments were dangerous and illegal to perform according to IDC.

Sven: IDC? Do you know anything of this Bynhar?

Bynhar: Huh? I do not know of such experiments at all. I thought Replenloids were always newly made. How do you know of this Dr.Unqwai?

Unqwai: I know a certain someone who prefers to be anonymous about this.

Bynhar: Who of IDC could this be?

Unqwai: I’m sorry, as I said, the person prefers to be anonymous.

Arnold: That sounds suspicious Erstrund. This could be one of the questions you can ask Unqwai about.

Erstrund:(whispering)I guess so Arnold. But it probably has nothing to do with the current energy crisis at Yonk Facilities.

Arnold: You’re right.

Erstrund:(whispering)Let’s wait a bit longer before confronting Dr.Unqwai.

Bynhar: Oh well, please continue Dr.Unqwai.

Unqwai: Thank you. Let’s see, we have pretty much confirmed everything about the beginning of Replenish I think. Any questions left?

Yonk: I have one. Do you happen to know who the first human or Reploid was which had gotten Replenish?

Unqwai: The first one huh? I am sorry, I cannot answer that.

Yonk: Oh well, I took a bite though.

Unqwai: Now, let’s talk about the effects Replenish has made, beside the negative side effect we discussed earlier.

Sven: Uh huh.

Unqwai: Replenish was the first object which eliminated the Sigma virus, the most dangerous virus. The day this happened was groundbreaking and important as well. Although 10 programs of Replenish at once were needed for this operation, Replenish managed to make the promises true which were given to it. And that’s all we wanted to see from it. But sadly…

Weil: …Persistent Mavericks started abusing the once beautiful program full of hope. We already knew that.

Unqwai: Sorry about that. And thus, Replenloids were born not much later on. Do mind though that there is a difference to the Mavericks abusing Replenish and Replenloids themselves. You could almost call the Mavericks abusing Replenish in the beginning, the parents who protected their dear children, the Replenloids.

Idugo: Such as Sigma?

Weil: The struggle of survival never ceases to amaze me. Especially when talking about Sigma, who used his own DNA on a few of the Replenloids in the beginning.

Unqwai: Yes, you could say that. After the “parents” were gone, much more Replenloids than Mavericks who were not infected were born on the planet, and only after IDC threatened to destroy the energy zones was the Replenloids War officially started. Before that, Replenloids were dangerous as well, but as the core of this problem was getting too troublesome, IDC, mankind finally knew how to stop Replenloids, and indirectly Replenish’s negative side.

Erstrund:(That would be almost, since X is still hunting on atleast 8 more Replenloids.)


Gaudile: Replenloids yes, and the core of this problem was IDC in the end.

Rodomar: No other company ever created Replenloids right? Who else could possibly have a “license” for Replenish anyway?

Unqwai: You’re probably right, but you may never know…

Silence then appeared for 7 long seconds. Then Erstrund suddenly spoke up.

Erstrund: I can’t wait to ask anything about IDC to Bynhar, including Replenloids and Replenlish.

Bynhar: !

Gate: That’s right, who wouldn’t want to know about the infamous IDC?

Yonk: Hmm…

Sven: Save this for later, gentlemen. For now, focus on Replenish please.

Unqwai: All that’s left for me to talk about now is the future of Replenish.

Unqwai then looked at Erstrund, and Erstrund becamed frightened a bit.

Unqwai: Suprisingly, Replenish still exist today. Inside Dr.Erstrund’s Information Scanners for example. But I suppose some of you knew that already.

Gate: Yes.

Rodomar: Yep.

Gaudile: Oh, really? So that’s why they can enter the Infected Zone as well, to not turn into Mavericks because of Replenish.

Erstrund: That’s right.

Unqwai: And peaceful, if I might add. After all, your Information Scanners can not cause any physical harm, Am I right?

Erstrund: Yes, like someone I talked to once quoted, “I am so glad that not every object in this world is meant for destruction, such as your Information Scanners.”

Unqwai: I see. Fortunately, we have now learned from the mistakes Replenish represents and has caused as well, and now we are working on a solution. A revolutionary solution to be absolutely precise.

Idugo: The Mother Elf. Project Elpis.

Gaudile: I am looking forward to it, if you ask me.

Erstrund: Hmm…

Weil: However, if this is so revolutionary as you name it, I demand excellent results unlike from Replenish this time.

Unqwai: What would that mean, Dr.Weil?

Weil: To reach the goal of Reploids respecting and obeying the humans. Every single one of them.

Unqwai: Is that the goal you have visioned for Mother Elf?

Weil: No, it is my own goal, my ambition. That is all. I will explain this more once I show you my latest weapon.

Sven: Dr.Unqwai, are you done now? Because I would like to jump into the next topic now.

Unqwai: I understand. Yes, I am done now. Only one more thing remains though. Which is, do any of you have questions left? And by that I mean about Replenish.

Idugo: Well, it seems pretty clear to me, regarding Replenish. The real questions I have are for Replenloids and Mother Elf. But this is actually the wrong topic to discuss the two objects. Instead, I will raise these questions of mine once we reach the next few topics such as, say, IDC and Mother Elf.

Unqwai: Excellent thought. Anyone else has something to say, perhaps some opinions on Replenish?

Bynhar: I think that everyone shares the same opinion about it right now.

Erstrund: I would have to agree with that.

5 seconds passed.

Unqwai: Then that is all I have to say about Replenish.

Sven: Thank you Dr.Unqwai. Now, our next topic will be about the 2 satellites of Herakto Inc.

After the topic about Replenish ended, in the mean time, some other event was happening. X and his most trusted companions of his unit were about to track down one of the Replenloids in an abandoned warehouse far inside the Infected Zone.

Maverick Class 1 Hunter A: Commander X! An explosion came from over there! Are we to investigate?

X: Check the surroundings first, then proceed to the warehouse itself with caution.

MC1HA: We have also tracked a signal of a Replenloid being inside the warehouse! Replenish is flowing throughout the Replenloid’s body!

X: Obviously. But be cautious! If you spot the Replenloid, report to me, and we will confront the Replenloid together.

As X’s unit scouted the surroundings, X went inside the warehouse on his own. His curiousity and sense of justice were just too itchy to wait. Inside, the warehouse was dark, cold, and surprisingly foggy as well. X walked slowly, always with his X buster aimed at the front side. He then heard vague sounds of something that sounded like someone struggling. As X turned around a giant pile of boxes, and he had found the center of the warehouse, he saw a Replenloid trying to escape from metal parts. As X looked up, he noticed a hole was made on the ceiling. He then walked slowly to the Replenloid, and it noticed him, even though the Replenloid had no clear sight because of the fog and the metal.

Tesla Eel: Did you came back to laugh more at my direction you bastards! *Ugh*…

X: I am not who you think that I am.

Tesla Eel: So you’re a nobody. *Ugh*…

Tesla Eel then successfully threw enough heavy metal parts away from his body to be able to sit up straight again and see X.

Tesla Eel: X! Out of all the persons I would assume to stand in front of me.

X: Replenloid, you will come with us now.

Tesla Eel: Why, for what reason?

X: I have important questions for you regarding many things. You have also violated humans and have made victims. I will now take you to an interrogation room where I will ask you questions personally.

Tesla Eel: Fool, you have no business with me or my comrades. Even if you are legendary as they call it. You’re just a nobody just like all the others not involved in this.

X: “This”?

Tesla Eel: 3 words. Illusional Dergur Corporation.

X: What!?

Tesla Eel: That’s all I have to say.

X: What does IDC still have to do with the world we are in today?

Tesla Eel:…

X: You will answer my questions, irregular Replenloid!

Tesla Eel: Silence! We are not just a bunch of lowly Replenloids! We are the Last Misguided Bodyguards of IDC! Send us the wrong way again, and our justice shall be doubled for the provokers!

X: LMG? So that’s how you Replenloids call yourself now?

Tesla Eel: Assuming your ignorance of the truth is gigantic as well, we are also known as the 3rd generation Reploids, superior to the other generations.

X: 3rd generation, I wonder why?

Tesla Eel: Hahaha *Ugh*, you know so little X, so little.

X: That’s it. I will let scientists research your body as well, since you obviously will not answer all of my questions. And now you are coming with me. You probably have no firepower left anyway, considering your damaged status.

X then picked up Tesla Eel and carried him on his back. As X walked outside once again, he waited until his fellow Maverick Hunters came back, and went back to their airship again.

X: For now, let’s head back to Maverick Hunter Headquarters.

VirusChris: Whoa! This is getting better and better! I can't wait until until the next part! Til then, keep on rockin' dude!

Dr.Wily II: An update! 
For me, this is like a short history talk on Replenish, and X finding out a possible link between IDC and the recent activities...
And still no word on the red Reploid... 

Another great chapter, Killsringman. 

MegaPsycho: Very good chapter, my hat off to you, cant wait to see more

For the first time, I bring bad news. My recently bought external hard drive has failed in some way, and all of my files have disappeared, including Mega Man Data documents, which had lots of stuff written inside of it. My brother will now in about 15 minutes look at it and hopefully solve the problem and bring back my beloved files(including music, movies, lots of important text files for me, school stuff, pictures, pr0n, and most important of all, my game projects).

So I really hope this really stupid crisis gets solved...

If not, I will have A LOT of work to do, refreshing my memory as best as I can, to type many of those important text files and of course Mega Man Data story content once again.

VirusChris: No way...


Don't give up! I'm sure you stuff are hidden somewhere in your computer! I remember one time my Z Folder, at school, was gone and after finding out the problem I got it back with all my stuff instact! I'm pretty sure you'll get all of your data back!

Dr.Wily II: Ouch, sorry to hear about this unforunate event. 
But I believe everything will work out fine in the end.
So, don't give up yet. 

MegaPsycho: Ouch, I hope it works out for you, I wish you the best of luck on retrieving your files. You are really good at this, especially with the little details.

Lucky for me!!! I got back my precious text files, Mega Man data documents and game projects using as handy program called FreeUndelete! In order for my brother not to take a look at my pr0n, I decided to tell him that my text files was all I needed to be recovered. That means that I lost my music, pictures and movies in the process as well, but those do not really mind me, I could easily find those again. So yeah, I am really happy to have those things recovered, and since the external hard drive has now been formatted(since that is the first thing you are supposed to do with external hard drives according to my bro. It did not say that though in the manual which I read), I am also very happy with my 500GB external hard drive now.

Now, back to Mega Man Data!

Part 6: Red Hot Intense

The furyish looking Reploid along with several U bodyguards descented the stairs inside Yonk Facilities. Along the way, curious Yonk guards were eliminated silencedly, by the U bodyguards disabling and holding the Yonk guards with their arms and Laser Tasers, an extraordinary new model of tasers. They do not only render their victim’s muscles useless, the victim’s natural senses implemented, be it human or Reploid, are vastly decreased as well, resulting into a strong dizzy status. As the Y guards were disabled, Ignite came closer to each of them, and ended their lives with an intense heat of fire touching their entire bodies with only his right hand, while he shut the mouths with his left hand. Of course, by then, the U bodyguards took a step away from the victims, or else they would experience the same Red Hot Intense.

At the same time, in order to make sure no suspense was created, Ignite left atleast 1 U bodyguard at the location the Yonk guards were patrolling, and ordered them to act as if they replaced the guards to change shifts. As the top floor of Yonk Facilities was cleared from any Y guards, and every room that day was empty, including Sven’s office, Ignite told the same U bodyguard on the roof from before once again to schedule the meeting between him and Dr.Unqwai. While that was taking care of, Ignite disappeared from the U bodyguards, and the only thing they could still hear before he vanished into nothingness while he turned into a flame ball literally was an additional order:

Ignite: As for the rest of you, head back to the roof, stay there and await further orders.

None of them knew exactly what Ignite’s next move would be. Meanwhile, Burden Mosquito was at the entrance room of Yonk Facilities, and inconveniently ordered his Maverick Hunters a while back ago to prepare to leave the building. Unfortunately, none of Mosquito’s squad was aware of Ignite’s landing.

Burden Mosquito: Maybe you guys were right, things do look secured over here today.

Yonk Gate Guard A: See? No need to have any more protection for this building, and especially the meeting today. The vile Mavericks from the Infected Zone could never reach this edge of Yonk City before dealing with the defense systems first!

Yonk Gate Guard B: You got that right.

The slacking Gate Guard which messed around with metal detector before then came back.

Yonk Gate Guard A: Well well, will you be more careful from now on?

Yonk Gate Guard C: Guess I will have to be more sharp during duty, yeah.

Yonk Gate Guard A: Good.

Burden Mosquito: I suppose you are very busy, sorry.

Yonk Gate Guard A then got surprised a bit by that comment.

Yonk Gate Guard A: Ah, Mosquito, we aren’t that busy, but I understand that you are. Please proceed.

And Burden Mosquito then walked through the security gates without problem, and he then turned around and said:

Burden Mosquito: Well, you will get busy soon. My squad is about to reach your gates, and will leave this building, together with me. I will be waiting outside until every Maverick Hunter has stepped out of Yonk Facilities.

Yonk Gate Guard A: We understand. It should be no problem.

Burden Mosquito then left the building.

Another event was of course happening, since the attendants of the meeting itself were about to get ready for the next topic; the 2 satellites in construction of Herakto Inc.

Sven: We shall now continue this meeting by discussing the 2 satellites of Herakto Inc. . Mister Idugo here will have a speech about the topic.

Idugo: Right, please let me search for the paper first…

Sven: Alright.

Rodomar: To be honest, I really don’t know much about the 2 satellites. I assume you do not either, Erstrund?

Erstrund: Huh? Oh that, yes… that came as a surprise to me actually, those 2 satellites.

Rodomar: Happat must have kept it a secret from his most trusted assistants.

Idugo: I found it.

Sven: Okay Idugo, please proceed.

Idugo: *ahem*, The 2 satellites we are creating at Herakto Inc. will serve various kinds of purposes, but they will primarily be used as a gigantic scouting device, that is, scouting for the Sigma virus on our planet.

Rodomar: Really?

Idugo: Yes, this project was created by me and Dr.Happat, head of Herakto Inc.

Rodomar: Surely yes, but I meant to ask for confirmation about the scouting for the Sigma virus part.

Idugo: I answered that with a clear “yes”, and continued on with my speech. Now what is the problem?

Sven: Come now, no need to get irritated by confirmations raised by those with questions.

Erstrund:(Hopefully Idugo won’t leave the meeting room just like Dr.Zejaf…)

Idugo: Happat and I decided to name the sattelites Sodom and Gomorrah, because we felt that we were creating true blasphemy with this project.

Rodomar: Why is that?

Idugo: It’s because soon the whole world will know where to look for the Sigma virus and the Mavericks nearby the virus. Sodom will orbit around 1 half part of Earth, and Gomorrah the other half. They could possibly present 2 gigantic eyes for us humans and Reploids to gaze through.

Gaudile: Fascinating, but at the same time risky as well.

Idugo: Is that because you fear we will discover dark secrets?

Gaudile: That too, but to be more precise I was thinking about the last space projects we’ve had in the past, such as Jacob’s Ladder and Skylab. Both of those were created with good intentions, however the end result was fatal for both.

Idugo: So, do you think this project will have the same fate already?

Gaudile: Not really, I am just kind of warning you here that you should administrate the project carefully.

Idugo: Don’t worry, everything is happening as scheduled. Right now, Dr.Happat is supervising the project.

Erstrund: Right now huh? Maybe that’s why I haven’t been able to contact Happat lately…

Rodomar: Hmm, I guess we should contact old Happat soon about this.

Idugo: If you have any questions about this, please ask me.

Rodomar: It’s not just that, we also have personal reasons for this, right Erstrund?

Erstrund: Um yeah.

Arnold: Personal reasons huh? Must be because Dr.Rodomar called himself and you his most trusted assistants, whatever that means.

Erstrund:(Whispering)Something along those lines yeah. We are partners, as well as good friends.

Sven: Enough. Stop going off topic. Please continue Mister Idugo:

Idugo: Of course. Let’s see…………….!

Yonk: Something the matter?

Gate: Hmm?

Unqwai: Maybe the rest of his speech is missing? The printer’s ink worn out I guess, hehe. Atleast I don’t need a paper to prepare for my speech.

Bynhar: That is true. You gave us many pieces of information about Replenish with only your head after all.

Idugo looked rather annoyed then, and spoke to Dr.Unqwai:

Idugo: It has nothing to do with the ink. And please keep your pride hidden from me, as it disgusts me.

Weil: Tsk tsk.

Sven: What’s the matter Dr.Weil?

Weil: This so called administrator over here called my quarrel with Dr.Zejaf childish, now look at this hypocrite acting all frustrated.

Idugo: What?

Weil: Wake up, mister administrator. Before you know it, a small quarrel will shatter a person’s life instantly. Now explain to us your hesitation.

Idugo looked as if someone teached him a valuable survival lesson, a lesson to use against fighting emotions. Just then, the meeting room’s entrance doors opened widely while a U bodyguard rushed through them without warning. It was the same bodyguard ordered by Ignite to arrange the meeting. Immediately after that the 4 Yonk Guards who were supposed to guard the entrance grabbed the U bodyguard from behind. All of the attendants then looked at the U bodyguard.

U bodyguard A: *puff *puff* Dr.Unqwai!!!

Yonk Guard D: I am truly sorry! This fellow surprised us completely as he ran through and pushed us away!

Sven: He is one of Dr.Unqwai’s men, why are you here?

Sven then turned to Dr.Unqwai.

Sven: What is the meaning of this?

Unqwai: I have no idea. Do you mind?

Sven then nodded and looked back at the U bodyguard.

Yonk Guard E: We shall bring him away now President Sven!

Sven: No, wait! Let Dr.Unqwai talk to him.

Unqwai: Dear bodyguard, let’s see…

Unqwai then took a close look at him, while the bodyguard was still struggling from getting released by the 4 Yonk guards.

Unqwai: Unqwai number 9, please explain the situation.

U Bodyguard #9: Let go of me!

The Yonk guards then released him, and #9 spoke calmly now, knewing that he had gotten the attention.

U Bodyguard #9: Dr.Unqwai, I have been ordered to arrange a meeting for you with a certain someone. I am sorry this came unexpected!

Unqwai: Who would this be then, 9?

U Bodyguard #9: Again, sorry, but I cannot say who! Please understand!

Unqwai: Hmm…very well.

Unqwai: Dear attendants, I am sorry, but you will have to excuse me for a while.

Sven: What!? You’re just gonna leave and meet an unknown person, while you are in this meeting?

Unqwai: Don’t worry, I won’t make it long. About 10 minutes should suffice, right 9?

U Bodyguard #9: Well, I am not so sure about that…

Unqwai: In any case I will return in about 10 minutes. Besides, I do not care really what Mister Idugo here has to explain further on after his last statement to me.

Idugo:…

Sven: Alright then, however if you still happen to be curious about what will happen during these next 10 minutes I will gladly inform you.

Unqwai: Thank you. Now, excuse me. Oh and number 9, meet me above please. You know the way.

U Bodyguard #9: I understand.

The U Bodyguard then left the meeting room, and 2 of the Yonk guards closed the entrance doors then.

Unqwai then looked at Dr.Celeste.

Unqwai: My dear Celeste, you have been so quiet so far during this meeting. I hope you will be able to hold the speech later on during this meeting?

Celeste: O-of course Dr.Unqwai! Like you, I have practiced on my speech.

Unqwai: Actually I did not even practice on it. Well anyway, I won’t be gone for too long, so have fun while I am gone.

Celeste: Okay…

Dr.Unqwai then entered the small platform in the middle of the room with the red Reploid once again and started activating the elevator. He then disappeared from the meeting room, and was now on a floor above of it.

Arnold: Dr.Erstrund! This is a crucial moment to confront Dr.Unqwai! Do you understand!?

Erstrund:(Whispering)This is convenient for sure yes, I will follow him now.

Arnold: Wait Erstrund! You can’t just stand up and leave the meeting! You have to create a lie first. A fitting lie for a better effect.

Erstrund:(Whispering)Hmmm….Ah! This impressive one should do it.

Erstrund then stood up, and every attendant looked at him then.

Sven: What is it Dr.Erstrund?

Erstrund: Dear attendants, since Dr.Unqwai has left us for a while, I thought this would be convenient enough for me to excuse myself to a nearby bathroom.

Sven: Please Dr.Erstrund, stay with us for a little longer, until the current topic has ended. I do not want things to get more complicated.

Erstrund: But President Sven, I really, REALLY have to go to the bathroom! Besides, it definitely won’t take longer than 10 minutes, even though I have to release the you-know-what as well.

Rodomar: Erstrund, did you hear what you just said?

Erstrund: Huh?

Rodomar then laughed out loud for a while, and explained what Erstrund was implying:

Rodomar: Our Dr.Erstrund over here DEFINITELY does not has to release his “you-know-what”!

Gate: Why is that?

Rodomar: Because he is a REPLOID!

A small silence occurred, and then laughter appeared from several people inside the meeting room. Even some from outside Yonk Facilities started laughing.

Chester: I can’t believe Erstrund just said that.

Yuqer: Obviously he’s not a human upon closer look, although Dr.Erstrund surely looks more like a human than most Reploids.

Rodomar: That is why he has no reason to go to the bathroom!

Arnold: THAT was your impressive lie!?

Erstrund:(Argh Rodomar, why!?)

Erstrund: Err erhmm..ehehehehehahaha!

Erstrund then pointed at Rodomar.

Erstrund: You got me there Rodomar!

Rodomar: So it was a lie huh?

Erstrund: Yes, you see, my true reason is that I have to leave the room for a moment to prepare something for my invention without someone nearby.

Gaudile: Eh? What would that be?

Erstrund: It’s uhm…a surprise!

Sven: Surprise..? Why did you lie first?

Erstrund: Because I wanted to set a good mood first before I leave!

Weil: Enough with this nonsense really, this is just a waste of time, purely meant for entertainment.

Erstrund: Please, President Sven, it won’t take longer than 10 minutes!

Sven *sighed*, and rolled his eyes, and then looked at all the attendants.

Sven: We will now hold a break of 10 minutes maximum. If you wish to go to the bathroom, do so now. That is all.

The meeting room then became noisy, and the people from the press took their chances to interview various attendants of the meeting, while the video recording of all of it happening was paused for 10 minutes. Sven then walked up to Erstrund and said.

Sven: Not longer than 10 minutes, understand?

Erstrund: Yes.

And Erstrund then left the meeting room while the 4 Yonk guards knew from the noise that was getting made that they should probably check up on the meeting room, and thus they opened the entrance doors. Before Erstrund completely left though, he asked one of the Y guards a question:

Erstrund: Do you know in which way U bodyguard went?

Yonk Guard F: Huh, he? Well like Dr.Unqwai said, he is probably one floor above us right now.

Erstrund: Thanks for the answer.

And Erstrund then took the stairs upwards. As he was about to open the door to the top floor,  another U Bodyguard came from the roof and Erstrund saw him walking down the stairs to him.

U Bodyguard A: Halt! You cannot enter the top floor at the moment!

Erstrund: Why is that?

U Bodyguard A: A pipe has leaked and is releasing dangerous amounts of a certain type of gas, which can damage your body. Only us authorized people can approach the problem without danger. Please understand mister, and turn back.

The bodyguard then stood in front of the door leading to the top floor, giving Erstrund impossible room to enter.

Erstrund:(Damn!)

Erstrund: I guess I have no choice then…

And Erstrund then walked back to the naturish lobby room before the meeting room.

Erstrund:(Whispering) I guess I will stay here and wait for Dr.Unqwai then..

Arnold: Wait Erstrund! Remember how Dr.Unqwai entered and left the meeting room? Not like this!

Erstrund:(Whispering)Ack, you’re right! What should we do?

Arnold: I can’t think of any other solutions…If only I could contact Blitzkrieg in some way and ask him about directions!

Erstrund:(Whispering)Well can’t you contact him somehow at Maverick Hunter Heasdquarters? Maybe ask Commander Yuqer?

Arnold:  Hey, that’s a good idea! I will be right back Erstrund, make sure that you don’t enter the meeting room yet!

Erstrund:(Whispering)All right.

In the meeting room itself, lots of noise was still present. As Idugo was still looking at his speech paper, Gate approached him and said:

Gate: So what’s wrong Idugo?

Idugo: Huh?

Gate: About your speech I mean, or anything which is bothering you right now?

Idugo: Well, I made a mistake. I sort of brought the wrong information, if you understand what I mean.

Gate: I see…

Idugo: Never mind this, I won’t continue the speech.

Gate: What? Why?

Idugo: I did not prepare the speech correctly, I am sure that everyone of you will understand after that mistake I just made.

Gate: I’m fine with that as long as it won’t bother you or the other attendants. Too bad of your speech though, I was looking forward to the rest of it.

Idugo: Thank you for understanding. After this break is over, I will announce it to the rest of the attendants.

Meanwhile, Dr.Unqwai and number 9 met at the top floor of Yonk Facilities. By now, Dr.Unqwai was noticing the other U Bodyguards around him.

Unqwai: Right, so where is the person I should meet?

U Bodyguard #9: At the moment we aren’t really sure where he is Dr.Unqwai…

Unqwai: Could you tell me his name now?

U Bodyguard #9: I am sorry, but he said that his name would spoil the surprise, and that you would understand everything once you see him.

Dr.Unqwai: Hmm…now I am getting curious.

5 seconds passed.

Unqwai: Well if he isn’t going to show up here I will take a look around by myself. You can go back to your duties now. Speaking of which, why are most of you on the top floor active anyway?

U Bodyguard #9: Well erhm…

Suddenly a large steaming sound could be heard, like the sound of a broken pipe which released gas at tremendous amounts of speed.

Unqwai: What is that sound?

Unqwai then ignored his U bodyguards and walked to the location of where he heard the sound. As he looked around one of the corners of the top floor, He saw a fireball shaping from nothingness, and started shaping into a Reploid. As Dr.Unqwai watched, he became shocked of the fact that he knew who that Reploid was.

Unqwai:(…TOKOLOSHE!)

Unqwai then quickly ran away from that part of the top floor and spoke to U Bodyguard #9 while whispering:

Unqwai:(Whispering)YOU FOOL, you almost got me killed! Listen, tell him that I cannot meet him because of the meeting, and start investigating somehow why for god sake he is even here!

U Bodyguard #9: I am so sorry! Is he an enemy now!? I thought the deal with them was still in good shape…

Unqwai:(Whispering)I should had informed you guys. In any case, keep him busy, and contact me if you have more information about him! If you think things get too dangerous, you have my permission to destroy him. UNDERSTAND!?

U Bodyguard #9: Y-yes sir!

Unqwai then quickly ran away once again and took the stairs downwards to the meeting room.


Posted on: January 16, 2009, 19:26:06

VirusChris: I'm glad your story is back! Too bad about the other stuff, but hey. Live and learn.


Anyway, great chapter! Look forward to the next one!

Dr.Wily II: Wow, that took some time... 
And it's great to hear that most of your stuff is intact, especially MMD and your game projects. 

Ok, story proper...
RED HOT INTENSE!!!
Oh, I'm melttttttttttttinggggggggggggggg~!!! D:
Sorry, couldn't resist. 

Ahem, this chapter shows another side of the whole discussion, the betrayal, the tactics, to outlast the competition...
Ok, so maybe not, but Weil "giving" advice to Idugo is unexpected...

And Erstrund fails at making up lies...
But still succeeded in getting out.

And lastly, Unqwai's reaction to Tokoloshe... D:

Awesome again.   *applause*

Once again dear kids, if you spot any contradictions so far inside the story, please note them out for me! I have a feeling that this is the case with every new chapter I release.

Perhaps this time it's a litte smaller than the chapters before it, but I am sure that my chapters nowadays are much larger than most of the fics I have read quickly through on Rock Man Perfect Memories.

Now this is where the story is about to get bloody, so be warned!

Part 7: The fury is about to erupt

Ignite formed to his Replenloid body once again. He took a quick look around, noticed several U bodyguards talking to each other up ahead, and proceeded with walking quickly to the U bodyguards.

U Bodyguard #9: Ah, Ignite!

Ignite: What is the fuss about!?

U Bodyguard #9: Nothing at all, we were just practicing our speech for our lie about a broken pipe..

Ignite: You're lying.

U Bodyguard #9: Uh!?

Ignite: I can sense your abnormal sweating.

Ignite then pushed his right hand onto U Bodyguard's front side, and felt his hart beating at a fast rate.

U Bodyguard #9: AH, DON'T KILL ME!

Ignite: Now I have solid evidence that you are a useless, panicking liar.

Ignite then grabbed 9's neck and started to squeeze at a painful rate for 9. The other bodyguards simply watched, as they knew they could not do anything.

U Bodyguard #9: UCK, KUCH UHH, No..UH!

Ignite: Have you made an arrangement for the meeting!?

U Bodyguard: #9: ...DocturUGH Unqwgh wasNGLK too busyIEK with theUNK miitinK!

Ignite: TOO BUSY!?

Ignite then showed the other bodyguards a very annoyed rage. He then started concentrating large amounts of heatness inside his right arm, all the way up to his hand, and squeezed 9 at such abnormal high strength and that, combined with the now released heat, caused 9's skin to literally break open. 9's skin began to burn, and lots of blood flushed out, to which Ignite responded by releasing 9's neck for a moment, but then immediately began grabbing the inner parts of 9's neck with his right hand, and violently ripped that part of 9's neck open as well. It was a bloody sight to see, and all of the bodyguards were shocked. The flames then appeared from Ignite's right hand and went all the way to 9's head, literally incinerating him. Ignite then kicked 9's body to the ground and the result was horrifying, as 9's skin on his head and neck were burned away, and brain parts, organic parts, blood and bones could be clearly seen. Ignite then looked around the other bodyguards and said with a pointing finger to each of them:

Ignite: Let THIS be a warning to you, if you dare to lie to me! Now back to your positions, and await further orders!

U Bodyguards: YES COMMANDER IGNITE!

And they moved with haste back to their positions. Meanwhile, Blitzkrieg was observing from behind the shafts at the top floor, and witnessed 9's death.

Blitzkrieg: Hmmm...so this is Ignite Tokoloshe, one of the Replenloids X is hunting.

As he was watching Ignite carefully, Information Scanner #515 was behind him, waiting for his chance to take crucial pictures of Dr.Unqwai. Blitzkrieg then manually used #515 to take a picture of U Bodyguard #9, a victim of a motiveless violence murder if people around the world would read about it, as well as a picture of Ignite's back, in order to make sure his cover would not be blown.

Blitzkrieg then felt around on his back with his left arm to try to reach for something, and found his earphones. He then pushed the button in the middle of the earphones 3 times, and at that moment made an instant call to Maverick Hunter Headquarters. He was trying to contact Arnold. Arnold at that point however was talking with commander Yuqer, about the case to let Erstrund establish a connection with Blitzkrieg and ask for directions to locate Dr.Unqwai.

Arnold: Yes Commander Yuqer, I understand that Blitzkrieg prefers to contact us instead of vice versa, but please consider the situation! This might be Dr.Erstrund's only chance to confront Dr.Unqwai!

Yuqer: I understand you as well, Arnold. But this has always been the way of Blitzkrieg's doing. Only in this way will he work with us at a successfull rate.

BZZZZ. BZZZZ.

Arnold then got suprised of his earphones. He looked at the frequency number on the LCD screen near the button to establish connections, and recognized it.

Arnold: It's Blitzkrieg!

Yuqer: Quickly, answer him!

Arnold: Hello Blitzkrieg!

Blitzkrieg: Reporting in.

Arnold: Explain the situation please.

Yuqer then came closer to Arnold's right ear to overhear.

Blitzkrieg: The mission has become dangerous. A victim has been made just now, and I witnessed it.

Arnold: What!?

Blitzkrieg: There could be possible more victims, all by the hands of Ignite Tokoloshe.

Arnold: Ignite Tokoloshe?

Yuqer: !

Yuqer then grabbed Arnold's earphones and Arnold responded with a "hey!" effect, but Yuqer ignored him and put on the earphones.

Yuqer: This is commander Yuqer, Blitzkrieg. Did I hear that just right?

Blitzkrieg: Considering your sudden entrance, I would have to say yes.

Yuqer: What the hell is he doing over there at Yonk Facilities? I suspect the worst case...

Blitzkrieg: That is why I said the mission has become dangerous. I do not know if it would be wise to confront Dr.Unqwai at this moment.

Yuqer: No, the mission will 100% continue. The opportunity is too high to end the mission with failure.

Blitzkrieg: ...Alright. Guess I will have to protect Dr.Erstrund then.

Yuqer: I am glad with your understanding, Blitzkrieg. Now let me hand over an additional objective to your primary one.

Blitzkrieg: Fill me in, commander Yuqer.

Yuqer: Protect Dr.Erstrund and Yonk Facilities at all costs, including the meeting and it's attendants. I will not tolerate any more victims, especially from the important attendants! Additionally, find out why Tokoloshe is over there today. Answer Tokoloshe's reasons with your own judgement by then, since you will probably have to act fast.

Blitzkrieg: Understood, may I proceed with the mission now?

Yuqer: Wait, there is one more thing, I will let Arnold talk to you again.

And Yuqer gave back the earphones to Arnold, and he put them on his ears.

Yuqer: Te

[Dr. Wily II]

Of course, since things are finally... HEATING UP! *shot*

[Flok]

And this marks the end of the first major arc people! This arc is actually called the Yonk Facilities arc, but I decided to call the chapter Mega Man Data because it would fit and be logical, especially regarding this latest part!

VirusChris: Dude this is just awesome! Love the battle in here and what has happen to Erstrund? Can't wait for the next arc story!

Dr.Wily II: Wow...
The showdown between Ignite and Blitzkrieg, simply amazing.

And Weil's weapon... Seems familiar, but I can't my finger on it...

However, the ending was quite unexpected...
What truely happened to Erstrund?

Can't wait to read more. 

To give you an impression of how Ignite Tokoloshe looks like in Mega Man Data:



This was also the picture(And the information inside) that inspired me to make a Replenloid out of it.

Now I have a question for you guys. Right now, the story is very flexible, and I could talk about lots of things. What would you guys like to see more about in the next chapter of Mega Man Data?

Dr.Wily II: D: at the pic...

Anyways, I would really like to know what truely happened to Dr. Erstrund.
How and why did the such a fusion happened?

MegaPsycho: Want to know what happened to Erstrum
Still want to know who the red reploid behind the glass case was

Thanks for the replies, I appreciate them! All of the questions you have about Mega Man Data will be answered in the fiction sooner or later, don’t you worry about that.

I also noticed that there are some mistakes during part 8 of the Yonk Facilities arc, and I will correct them sooner or later.

Now, the continuation of Mega Man Data.

Aftermath of crisis

Yonk Facilities’s rooftop had become a massacre mess, full of corpses. Weil’s weapon lied down, destroyed, yet still intact. And Ignite Tokoloshe? Only small pieces of him remained on the ground. He was blown up  hard by Weil’s weapon, by ironically first  overheating a fire based Replenloid already with a giant laser, then as it conquered over Ignite’s final attack motion, his body could not longer resist and thus it explode. After that instant, Erstrund and an IS entered Weil’s weapon from it’s back, and something indescribable occurred. Something which had to be questioned instantly by those who witnessed it. And with good reason, since after that, Erstrund appeared once again, and was mysteriously completely different from before physical wise. Confused, tired and even a bit of angst, Erstrund rediscovered his Grand Invention, and gave it a quick test on himself literally. Erstrund was speechless, with blank eyes of belief, as he went through the pictures taken by IS #515 that day. His best friend Rodomar then came, and was shocked. “My god, Erstrund, what have you done…”

Burden Mosquito’s fleet then appeared, and it consisted of a main control ship, 2 transport ships for his squad to vender into, and a small backup first aid ship. As Burden Mosquito noticed from inside the main control ship that the rooftop was inaccessible to land on currently, he ordered navigators onboard to bring the ships as close as they can , and then help with carrying the injured inside the ships, by using stretching ladders and levitating so called mobile beds for the injured ones to lie on to. His Maverick Hunters carried everyone inside on the rooftop, which means pretty much everyone who attended the meeting. As they heard from Sven that they had to leave immediately again once everyone was inside the ships, because of bombs being placed inside the building, they did not hesitate, considering that Sven remarked that there was no time and the location of the bombs was unknown.

The process of letting everyone get inside the ships happened with haste, but also with determination to see in which ship they would get on. The professional Maverick Hunters examined each of the survivors and questioned them about their health. Most of them were stable, but Cinnamon, Gate and Bynhar had to get assigned to the backup first aid ship immediately, as they could not move their bodies anymore. Burden Mosquito noticed Bynhar’s face instantly though, and was very surprised to see him. He would make sure not to forget to arrest this wanted man after he was cured.

As everyone had entered their ships, Mosquito’s fleet took off with haste, heading for Maverick Hunter Headquarters. Sven prayed for the Yonk Guards and other people in Yonk Facilites to make their escape immediately. Like yesterday’s incident, Erstrund was confused, but this time even more because of the current events. Rodomar, Unqwai, a few other attendants and even Arnold and Yuqer from Headquarters questioned him instantly upon flying in the sky, obviously about his new body, but Estrund then suddenly fainted. He was already tired looking after he stepped out of Weil’s weapon according to the attendants. Rodomar simply stood up, and let Erstrund lie on his back. Maverick Hunters then asked if it would be ok with him during the entire trip, and all that Rodomar could say was that Erstrund was probably not sick or anything, but merely tired. Tired from the meeting, the mission, Ignite’s encounter and the fusion…

It was 8:00 PM as Burden Mosquito’s fleet arrived at Maverick Hunter Headquarters. Measurements were already made by Mosquito, as Elly and her fellow colleagues , Lifesaver and his doctors and nurses under him, Yuqer, Arnold and elite Class 1 Maverick Hunters watched the fleet land and then confronted the survivors. First, the 3 injured ones were taken away with Lifesaver, but then it was quickly decided that Erstrund would go with him as well, just in case. An arrangement had to be made by Lifesaver to analyze Erstrund’s new body, according to Mosquito. As he heard from the attendants that this Erstrund had a new body mysteriously, he figured that Lifesaver would be the best Reploid to get at Headquarters to analyze it with result. Commander Yuqer agreed with this and he would call out assistants who could help with this analyze soon. It was then also announced to the rest of the attendants that they would had to spent atleast one night at Headquarters to recover from the crisis, and they patiently wait for the situation at Yonk Facilites to be safe and secured once again. No one denied his request, and pretty much went to sleep the moment they found their beds. Meanwhile, as Yuqer and Lifesaver were discussing the arrangement which had to be made inside the command room, Mosquito entered and stated that he just had a call with Yonk Facilities. Yuqer then asked about the call and Mosquito said that he was talking with one of the Yonk Guards over there. During the trip, Mosquito had already contacted this same Yonk Guard, and told him what to do at Yonk Facilites. He told him to warn everyone else still inside the building and prepare for evacuation, and then he told him to call up a Bomb Elimination Squad somewhere inside Yonk City, so that they could deactivate, if possible, the bombs. While risking their lives, not knowing when the bombs would explode, or even knowing their location, the squad ventured through every possible location of a bomb, including walls, ceilings, floors, doors, stairs and other objects.

Just now, Mosquito heard about the squad’s report through the Yonk Guard. He told him that according to the Bomb Squad, no bombs were present inside or outside close to the building. Yuqer was surprised of hearing this then, and also relieved. Mosquito then continued with reporting on the victim count, according to the Yonk Guards after the Bomb Squad left the building. It consisted of every single Unqwai Bodyguard serving and protecting Dr.Unqwai originally, 7 Yonk Guards, unidentified metal pieces,  melted, which they presume belonged to a Reploid, and a darkish yet completely burned off black body found just outside Sven’s office. After Mosquito further questioned about the last victim, discovering that the Yonk Guards had found a small pata, he safely could confirm that Blitzkrieg had passed away. Upon hearing that, Yuqer was saddened, yet also raged with the loss of Blitzkrieg the mercenary.

The next day came quickly. Erstrund remained unconscious throughout the morning and first half afternoon, and still looked like he would not wake up just yet. Lifesaver’s team in the mean time was all night long, and now also the morning and first half of the afternoon, busy with analyzing Erstrund’s new body, but they could not find out anything regarding Ersrtrund’s fusion. Erstrund’s body was complex, and materials could be pointed out by the experts observing him, but there was no logical conclusion for many of Erstrund’s new body. For example, they were clueless entirely about Mnemonic CFM Tank serving as Erstrund’s belly now. There was no doubt that the analyze of Erstrund was to be continued. Lifesaver and his assistants decided to have a break in the afternoon.

Meanwhile, during the new day, pretty much everyone who attended the meeting departed from Headquarters instantly, each for their own personal reasons, after they heard that Yonk Facilites was save and secured once again. Sven, Celeste, Unqwai and Yonk returned to Yonk Facilities in Yonk City. Sven of course because of being worried about his employees working under him and the building itself, while Yonk went to his family at home somewhere in Yonk City. Unqwai was seriously worried about his research, and panicked about the possible consequences which the bombs could had made. But then he remembered that the bombs were false, and was relieved a bit, but he still was determined to check out his research lab immediately, including the red Reploid.
Celeste simply had no choice but to follow Unqwai. She however was also wondering about Unqwai’s research and ultimately about Mother Elf itself.

Cinnamon, Bynhar and Gate were successfully cured from their symptoms caused by the Laser Tasers. Dr.Gaudile could in reality not sleep at night at all because he was seriously worried about Cinnamon’s condition, as he treasured her more that anything else, openly implying that she was his daughter. Hence he was staying near her during the whole night inside the medical section of Maverick Hunter Headquarters. As she was cured, they both headed back to Giga City.

Bynhar however was arrested instantly upon being cured and waking up by Mosquito, and Mosquito told him that he would be escorted by him immediately, and they would both enter a convict ship now, the same ship which Elly used to transport Blitzkrieg and Erstrund during their mission. Mosquito then ended with saying that Bynhar would have to face a court room very soon.

Gate was about the only other attendant besides Erstrund who decided to stay at Headquarters. He simply had “nothing else on schedule”, and was also curious about Erstrund’s current condition.

Although he first told himself that he would stay until Erstrund would awaken, Rodomar changed his mind once he heard that Idugo was heading back to Herakto Inc. . Since Rodomar was also curious about the 2 satellites and Happat’s current activities, he went after Idugo on a different ship after Idugo had alreadly left Headquarters. Something was telling inside him that this was the right choice to make at the moment. And since he knew from Lifesaver that Erstrund would be okay regarding his health, there was no more doubt left.

The last attendant who left Headquarters was Dr.Weil. Before he went to sleep, he was questioned by Lifesaver about his weapon, which had caused Erstrund’s fusion somehow, or atleast part of it. Weil then explained it’s purpose, what the weapon is made out of, and anything else which the doctor asked about. He went to sleep then, and in the next day, went back to Yonk Facilites, to recover his weapon, and take it with him. After Yuqer asked him if he needed any help for doing that he said that there was no need.

And after only Gate and Erstrund remained, the end of the meeting was now a fact. Because of the crisis, the meeting either had to wait, or never happen again. The recording of the meeting had also stopped, since it was no longer needed, but no one remembered when. Technically, everyone who was watching the meeting knew about the "bombs" placed inside Yonk Facilites now. The future looked uncertain for most of the attendants, and to this day, thousands of Mavericks are still dwelling inside the massive Infected Zone.

Erstrund then finally woke up at 6:00 PM, exactly 24 hours after his fusion. At the same time, X’s unit had arrived at Maverick Hunter Headquarters, together with the criminal Replenloid called Tesla Eel. Soon it would become clear that Eel would hold the key to the truth about Bynhar, Dergur’s personal and most trusted advisor.

VirusChris: Awesome! Can't wait to read the rest!


I'm a little curious of to where Zero is and the other characters from Megaman X Command Mission. Will your fanfiction tell?

Dr.Wily II: ...There was no doubt that the analyze of Erstrund was to be continued. Lifesaver and his assistants decided to have a break in the afternoon.

Meanwhile, during the new day, ...
I think you meant analysis here.

Anyways, now this chapter serves as an end for the meeting and the beginning of the next saga.
Erstrund's condition is making me more curious, so is Dr. Weil's weapon and Dr. Unqwai's research.

I can't wait for your next chapter.

Sorry for the late update. Sometimes I have been busy, sometimes I have been bored, sometimes I was even too lazy to update this fan fiction! However, I do have written out new ideas to implement for the future soon, so atleast I did do something.

As for the few new chapters, expect them to be...happy and calm. :p Yet at the same time, get prepared for the next arc as well, since I have a lot of things planned for the story.

Awakening, Discovery, Happy Day!

It is 6:00 PM, and Erstrund rises from his bed inside a medical room nearby Lifesaver's office. He immediately felt a painful headache.

Erstrund: Ooghhh..

He then looked around, and saw quite a lot of people. Lifesaver and his analysis team, Elly, Arnold, Larry and Gate were present.

Elly: Oh, he woke up!!

Larry: Yes Elly.

Erstrund then looked at Lifesaver.

Lifesaver: We detected that you would awake around this time.

Erstrund: Ah...Lifesaver...everyone, sorry to let you all worry.

Arnold: No way Erstrund! Lifesaver told us that your health condition was fine. There is not a tiny bit of worry inside of me!

Gate: Actually, we are just interested in, let's say, your new body.

Elly then responded with:

Elly: No, not me! I was concerned about Erstrund more than his new body!

Gate: Whatever you think is more important is your opinion.

Elly: Hmpf!

Gate then looked back at Elly and laughed.

Elly: What's so funny!?

Gate: Ahaha, sorry about that, but I was joking around. Of course we were also a bit worried about you Erstrund, except for.. Arnold was it?

Arnold: Huh?

Gate: But you gotta admit Elly, that I merely tried to help you out in a way, by saying that.

Elly: Whatever mister!

Erstrund: Heh, Elly, still the same as before, yet you are a bit angry.

Elly: Erstrund, just relax okay?

Erstrund: I will, Elly.

He then looked down, at his Grand Invention.

Erstrund: So, it was not a dream...

Lifesaver: What do you mean?

Erstrund: This fusion...

Lifesaver: Ah yes, how careless of me. What else could be considered a dream other than such an unusual moment?

Lifesaver: Anyway, Erstrund, I came here to fill you in on the situation.

Erstrund: About me?

Lifesaver: Yes. Now let me make this loud and clear for you. So far, our research and analysis around your new body can be summarized with just one word.

Erstrund: What!? So, you have been studying on me?

Lifesaver: Yes, for an amount of reasons.

Erstrund: Hmm...I guess I should not be complaining. So, what how does that one single word sound like?

Lifesaver: Unlogical.

Erstrund: Huh?

Lifesaver: Unlogical, Dr.Erstrund. Your new body is a complete mystery for us so far.

Erstrund: How intimidating...

Lifesaver: Well, not quite, but I understand your reasoning for saying that.

Gate: Quite interesting, isn't it, Dr.Lifesaver?

Lifesaver: Yes Dr.Gate. I also heard the same applies to you? Since you did not feel like moving away from Headquarters yet?

Gate: That's right. And there is no doubt in my mind that everyone in this room, including Dr.Erstrund himself, and many others, would like to understand Erstrund's new body.

Arnold: Gee...

Erstrund: Heh, I must be getting famous. Lucky me!

Elly, Larry & Arnold laughed then.

Lifesaver then came closer to Erstrund, and said:

Lifesaver: Now then, Erstrund. I have a question to ask.

Erstrund: Yes?

Lifesaver: Would you allow us to continue studying upon you?

Erstrund: Right now?

Lifesaver: Well yes. You see all these people behind me? They are part of the team who has analyzed you last night up until a few hours ago.

Erstrund: I see....

Lifesaver: So?

Erstrund: Well...

A short silence occured.

Erstrund: No.

Lifesaver: What, why!?

Erstrund then smiled and said:

Erstrund: Because I want to take a walk, and go eat!

Elly: Huh, eat!?

Larry: What the..

Arnold: Erstrund, are you that hungry?

Erstrund: Well, I just would like to go out with you guys and have a nice time.

Gate: I did not expect this out of you to be honest.

Erstrund: Oh, but then you don't know much about me yet, heh.

Lifesaver: So, I suppose, after you did your "things", would you allow us to continue?

Erstrund: That for sure. I, like Dr.Gate said, am also very interested in my new body.

Lifesaver: Then we shall wait inside the medical section. Erstrund, if you are ready, please come to my office, this evening, or tommorow, allright?

Erstrund: Will do, Dr.Lifesaver.

Lifesaver: There's one more thing about the situation.

Erstrund: Tell me.

Lifesaver: It's about Dr.Weil's weapon...

Erstrund: Dr.Weil's...weapon?

Lifesaver: Yes. remember it? We believe it is responsible in a way for the fusion which has happened.

Erstrund: I guess so, after all, I did get sucked into it together with the IS...however I cannot seem to remember anything beyond that.

Lifesaver: Which reminds me, I still have to ask a few specific questions about yesterday regarding your fusion.

Erstrund: I understand.

Lifesaver: However, I have decided to keep both Weil's weapon and the questions on-hold until you are ready again.

Erstrund: Allright. And by the way, thanks for everything so far.

Lifesaver:No problem for us. Erstrund, some day, we will find out about your new body. Be prepared for it.

Erstrund: Hmm...

Lifesaver: Now, go! And have a nice time with your new friends. We have been talking far too long now, since you just awakened and have a desire for pleasure.

Erstrund: Heh.

Erstrund then got out of the bed, and walked away together with Elly, Larry and Arnold. Afterwards, Lifesaver's team left the room as well, and only Gate and Lifesaver remained.

Gate: I guess I will catch Dr.Erstrund now too.

Lifesaver: Hmm? Are you gonna join them?

Gate: Yes, I wish to know Dr.Erstrund better.

Lifesaver: Well then, promise me one thing.

Gate: Which is?

Lifesaver: Do not start asking questions about his new body please.

Gate: Ah, of course. There is plenty of time after all to discuss his new body in the future.

Lifesaver: Thanks for understanding.

Gate: Bye now, Dr.Lifesaver.

Meanwhile, inside the convict ship containing Burden Mosquito and Bynhar, it was quiet. Bynhar looked depressing, while Mosquito was in deep unknown thoughts.

"You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can or will be used against you in court."

Mosquito's traditional words from the medical room in Maverick Hunter Headquarters still echoed inside Bynhar's head. He then started talking.

Bynhar: Many things have happened, don't you think, Maverick Hunter? I mean not just this crisis from yesterday, but many other things as well...

Bynhar waited for a response, but he heard nothing. Then he continued talking.

Bynhar: Hahaha, now where should I start, and what should I say in court? It's not like I have anything to lose at the moment, and yet...will I hesitate? Would it be wise to tell anything? I am confused, hmmm...

Bynhar then looked at Mosquito.

Mosquito showed no response.

Bynhar: You must be very concentrated...

After 10 seconds looking at a fixed, but blind spot in his eyes, he looked up.

Bynhar: I am helpless...no one will come and take me out of this mess...

He raised his arms in the air.

Bynhar: No one will pick me up and take me away...

The ship's pilot looked backwards at Bynhar, and showed a face as if he had sympathy for him, but then he looked forward again. He probably dismissed that thought right away. Bynhar then lowered his arms, closed his eyes, and spoke no longer. About 3 minutes later, Mosquito "awakened" from his thoughts finally. He looked in the pilot's direction and said:

Burden Mosquito: Have we arrived yet?

Reploid Pilot: Yes Burden, the landing spot is very close.

Mosquito then looked outside, and saw a city. It was very dark outside, however the lights of the city shined beautifully.

Burden Mosquito: Aladraina City...I have returned.

MegaPsycho: Woot! Update!
I wonder what is really going through Gate's mind though...

Dr.Wily II: Happy day?

Anyways, at least Erstrund has awakened.
And it seems that the first thing him wants to do is to enjoy and relax first...

And I wonder what's going to happen at Aladraina City...

Awesome read again. 

Greetings Rock Man Perfect Memories. I have returned finally after the holidays are now over. In that time, I did not have any time at all for Mega Man Data, but hopefully the fan fiction will keep running every once in a while now again. I have been using a Priority List as to which event should happen at what exact moment in the timeline of the story. To be honest, it is quite a lot of work, because I have a lot of things still planned for this fan fiction.

As I said before, the next few chapters will be peaceful until the next arc appears. Until then, enjoy your ride into the world of Mega Man Data.

Oh, and by the way, hehehe, enjoy discovering my new feature for the fan fiction inside the latest chapter.

Awakening, Discovery, Happy Day!

Erstrund, Elly, Larry and Arnold were walking next to each other inside Maverick Hunter Headquarters, in search of a restaurant. Erstrund was presumed by his new friends to be very hungry, and so they had decided to give him a free meal without worries, so that he would not had to pay any Zennies at all. As they were walking inside the casual sector of Headquarters, Elly shouted with excitement as she recognized a famous wok restaurant known as Big Ben's Twisted, and was quite suprised to see such a restaurant inside of Headquarters.

Elly: OOOH, OOOH! Lookie there, Big Ben's Twisted! I never expected one of these to be in here!

Larry: Ah yes, a wok restaurant. What do you say, Dr.Erstrund?

Arnold: Come on Erstrund, this will be awesome!

Erstrund: Heh, since you guys are so exciting about it, I simply cannot refuse. Let's go inside.

Elly: YAY!

And they went in inside. Lucky for them ,the place was full of empty tables, so that they could shove inside immediately. As they ordered a table, they noticed how large the restaurant is, and despite having lots of free tables left, there were many humans and Reploids eating and drinking. As they sat down, they began talking about all kinds of things but none of them felt like talking about Erstrund's new body. It seemed like they knew that Erstrund had to rest first and have some fun.

Arnold: I will look inside the available menu's now.

Elly: Me too!

And Elly looked together with Arnold inside the menu's.

Arnold: Oooh, look! So many kinds of different food. There's meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, pasta, ice cream, bread, rice...

Elly: Babi Pangang, Salmonidae, champignons, beef, vanille sundae, spinach, shrimp, spaghetti, pancakes, Dim Sum, a special dark bread called Gilde Korn, mussel kiwi's, melons, sushi, Herring, my head is twisting from all the different kinds of food!

Arnold: That's why it's called Big Ben's Twisted, for being big, having large menu's that make you confused and doubtful about what to eat, and of course Ben is the name of the keeper of these restaurants.

Elly: Gosh, really? Thank you Ben!

Erstrund: By the way, are you all using a break right now or something?

Elly: Huh?

And Elly looked straight up at Erstrund.

Erstrund: What I mean is, did you guys took a break from your work in order to have a nice dinner with me?

Elly: Oh! Well, I am done for today, while I guess Larry and Arnold got permission to have a break, huh?

Arnold: That's right! Commander Yuqer himself approved of it.

Larry: Same here, however I requested it through one of the navigators inside the command room. Anyway, Dr.Erstrund...

Erstrund: Hmm?

Larry: I guess the mission was accomplished with positive result eh?

Erstrund: Well, let's see...Despite not getting a confession of some kind out of Dr.Unqwai, nor discovering any evidence as to who could had caused the energy crisis in Yonk Facilities, we were able to eliminate a dangerous Replenloid.

Larry: Ah yes, Ignite Tokoloshe. I heard about him recently. But what do you mean with "we"?

Erstrund: Well, Dr.Weil was the one who destroyed him in the end, and saved us all from a dangerous looking attack, and Blitzkrieg...!

Larry: Blitzkrieg?

Erstrund: That's right, Blitzkrieg? What the hell happened to him!? Larry, is he here inside somewhere!?

Larry: Blitzkrieg hmmm...another name I just recently heard about...but from what...ah yes, now I remember.

Erstrund: Please tell me everything.

Larry: Erstrund, I am sorry, but Blitzkrieg did not make it...

Erstrund: What? How do you mean!?

Larry: He passed away at Yonk Facilities according to the report which Burden Mosquito received from Yonk Guards or something. I heard from some other Class 4 Soldiers.

Erstrund: No way...his incredible speed, determination and loyalty for Yuqer and skills with his pata... he was always careful the moment I met him.

Larry: His body had completely been burned off. He literally looked like a fried piece of meat.

Erstrund: Fire..?

Larry: And get this, melted pieces of an unknown Reploid were traced nearby Blitzkrieg's body, and they were heavily damaged by an unknown source. They looked like black wounds which had scattered deeply inside the melted pieces. They are rumored by the Yonk Guards to be the cause of an unusual weapon.

Erstrund: Unusual? It must had been Blitzkrieg's pata then.

Larry: Pata?

Erstrund: It's a sharp but small sword which can be equipped literally on either the left or right arm. Think of it as a gauntlet used as a weapon.

Elly: Sounds scary...this pata, and also the corpse of that Blitzkrieg fellow and pieces of an unknown Reploid...

Arnold: Yes, Blitzkrieg was one of our best mercenary Reploids who would soon become a Maverick Hunter and hold a high spot in Unit 0.

Erstrund:(Was it Ignite...? I feel sorry for Blitzkrieg... but damn it, I need to know the truth! If it was Ignite who killed Blitzkrieg, then I will have to find out who ordered or sent Ignite to Yonk Facilities in the first place. On the outside, Blitzkrieg seemed selfish and distant, only caring about the mission and survival, but once I spoke him on the way to Yonk City in that ship, I recognized his true intentions, and personality. Not to mention he also had a personal reason for entering Unit 0...)

Right at that moment, Erstrund felt a very weird but funny feeling inside his head, and about 1 second later, he felt his very own belly moving around for a short while, and then it stopped. Erstrund looked down at his belly in disbelief once again that his Grand Invention was sitting there, and without thinking, yet being curious about the weird feelings just now, he hold the crystal button for 5 seconds again, in order to open up the hallucination menu.

Larry: Erstrund. Erstrund?

Erstrund: Huh?

Larry: Sorry for disturbing your thoughts, but the waiter over here would like to hear what you want to drink.

As Erstrund heard this, he removed his hand from Mnemonic CFM Tank just before the menu could pop up.

Erstrund: Just a glass of water please.

Waiter: Alright. Lady and gentlemen, in about 5 minutes I will give you permission to grab all the food you can eat.

Larry: Thank you, good sir.

As the waiter walked away, Arnold looked a bit offended. Erstrund once again hold the crystal button down for 5 seconds.

Arnold: Huh, water? But Erstrund, this is a restaurant!

Erstrund then replied a bit silly.

Erstrund: Huh? Oh, well that's because I don't really like alcohol of any kind, nor any kind of juices or soft drinks.

Arnold: Even if you don't like them, there are still alternatives besides ordering just a glass of water! Like coffee or tea for example.

Erstrund: Sorry, but I don't like those either.

Arnold: Jeez...

And around that moment, the menu started showing up.

Erstrund: Guess I am a bit rude then, sorry again.

Elly: It's not that harsh really. It's also not your fault for being able to enjoy any of those drinks. But Erstrund, what is THAT?

Arnold: Huh? Erstrund, why did you open up the menu?

Erstrund: Let me confirm something before I answer your questions.

And Erstrund looked around the menu, which was floating a bit in the middle of the table in which they were sitting on. As he noticed 2 new entries inside the Profile Mode of Mnemonic CFM Tank, he first started thinking about how it could be possible that there were 2 new entries, while he never made them. At the same moment, Dr.Gate appeared inside Big Ben's Twisted, and started walking to them. Elly, Larry and Arnold noticed this.

Elly: Hi Dr.Gate!

Larry: Hello Dr.Gate.

Arnold: Hey, Dr.Gate!

Gate: Hello, mind if I sit next to you people?

Elly: Huh? Oh, well there is still 1 chair free, so sure!

Gate: Thanks.

And Gate sat down, and looked immediately at Erstrund, while also noticing the floating menu.

Gate: This...is your invention's doing, isn't it, Dr.Erstrund?

Erstrund did not reply. He touched the Profile Mode, and was suprised by the 2 new entries as he read through them. The 2 entries looked like this:

O#1: Blitzkrieg
Status: Deceased
Sex: Reploid

A mercenary Reploid who served for the Maverick Hunters inside Unit 0 until he died during his latest mission with me. An unsolved dead to be precise. Appeared distant and careful around his area at first, but upon having a chat with him, he happened to have a different personality. Was loyal to Maverick Hunter Headquarters and had a personal reason for entering Unit 0. Was very skillful with his pata according to people from Headquarters and was also an intelligent strategist. Had incredible speed if it was needed.

Erstrund: (Object number one, Blitzkrieg...)

O#2: Ignite Tokoloshe
Status: Deceased
Sex: Reploid

A dangerous heat-based Replenloid who I encountered during the Yonk Facilities mission. A typical arrogant Replenloid, who was famous for being a literal one man army against many. Believed in a global ranking system, and that the strong Reploids deserved the power, while the weak Reploids had no saying in this. This was always the absolute truth according to Ignite, whatever the current case or situation. Appeared very ugly in my opinion, having no eyes and also having a large hole above his head. He was also pretty small for a fighter based Reploid. Spoke of people such as Dr.Unqwai and Yonk as being traitors of some kind. Abused Dr.Unqwai's bodyguards in some way during the Yonk Facilities mission. Appears unstable next to his fellow Replenloids, but he like all the others respects his higher command.

Erstrund: (And object number two, Ignite Tokoloshe. The entries feature information according to my opinion, or is it my memories? But it also has new information I did not knew of yet, such as Ignite Tokoloshe being a "one man army ". What the hell, was he THAT dangerous?)

As Erstrund read through all of it, so did Gate, Elly, Arnold and Larry. They all stopped talking and just carefully read through the entries. Then Gate spoke again.

Gate: Blitzkrieg and Ignite Tokoloshe. What is this Dr.Erstrund, some kind of report? I know who Ignite is, but who is Blitzkrieg?

Elly: Is this the fellow who died? Oh my gosh...

Erstrund: Guys, I have no idea who made these entries. How is this possible?

Larry: It's strange, but the entries are full of information don't ya think? Must be quite useful for something...

Arnold: You may be right Larry!

Erstrund: And what is even more stranger is...!

Erstrund:(No, I better keep this for myself for the moment. The new information available inside the entries...I have no clue about how all of it appeared inside my Grand Invention.)

Erstrund:(After this dinner, I must get back to Lifesaver, and explain all of this which happened just now. Lifesaver and his team will surely understand.)

Larry: What is it Erstrund?

Erstrund: Huh? Oh nothing, I thought there was more things strange about this but I got confused then.

Larry: Weird...

Erstrund: Well anyway, this seems to be another unknown action of my new body, don't you agree, Dr.Gate?

Gate: That seems to be the case, yes.

Erstrund: We have all read through them now right?

Arnold: Yeah, why?

Erstrund waited for 3 seconds before closing the menu once again and letting it disappear. He then appeared with a smile and said:

Erstrund: Then this can wait. For now, let's eat until we can no longer put more food inside our stomaches!

Larry: Ah, of course. And what good timing, the waiter is about to approach us.

Erstrund: I guess Dr.Gate will eat with us as well huh?

Gate: Ah yes, that's right. I don't have anything else on schedule at the moment anyway, might as well get to know you guys better.

And after Erstrund stood up, everyone else did as well, and the waiter guided them then to the delicous food which was waiting for them. And as they walked to the food, Gate thought to himself one more thing before his eyes were focused on all the food:

Gate:(Interesting...very interesting...could this be the first discovered ability of Mnemonic CFM Tank's fusion with Dr.Erstrund? I am not sure what to think of the entries yet, but this should be promising, very promising...)

Gate(Hm hm hm hm hm hehhehheh...)

And Gate appeared with a smile on his face.

VirusChris: Good chapter! And no way! Is Gate going back to his evil ways with that a little thought and smile he had?

Can't wait to read more!

Dr.Wily II: Interesting, all that food there...

Anyways, interesting development, Erstrund discovering a new ability, and the possible deviation of Gate...
Gate does give an impression that he may go Maverick again...

Either way, another awesome read.

Flame: This Is a great fanfic! I love it!
Gate FTW.

aww shucks Gate... are you planning to make the same mistakes AGAIN?
Something tells me that he doesnt have his memory of anything beyond the revival of his men and mabye the Nightmare Virus...
anyway nice read Im really looking forward to the next instament

Awakening, Discovery, Happy Day!

Erstrund's new body is still a pile full of mysteries. At a local restaurant, after feeling funny, he discovered a new ability, something which he wasn't sure of what to make out of it yet. He would make sure to get back to Lifesaver and his team soon. What Erstrund does not know though is that only the tip of the iceberg has been seen so far regarding Erstrund's new body...

Outside, it was getting darker, and it started to rain a bit. Inside, Erstrund and his new friends really enjoyed all of the food at Big Ben's Twisted. The only odd person at that moment was Dr.Gate, who although was enjoying the food as well, looked alot at Erstrund's direction. It seemed as if Gate was getting obsessive about something...

And as the evening became to a close, and every stomach was full, everyone went back to their duties, or went home. Everyone, except for Dr.Gate, who started following Erstrund. Well, he walked right next to him, as Erstrund was heading back to the medical section. Erstrund then noticed him, and said:

Erstrund: Ah, where are you heading to Gate?

Gate: Nowhere in particular, Erstrund.

Erstrund: I see.

After 10 long seconds:

Erstrund: So...what are you going to do soon?

Gate: Well, nothing is on schedule, I believe I have said that a few times before already.

Erstrund: Then, is there anything at all which although is not on schedule, you still want to do?

Gate: No. I am in a period of much free time at the moment. Perhaps the only thing I can do soon enough is hearing out what the deployed investigators under me have to report about the Infected Zone.

Erstrund: Alright.

Gate: Say, Dr.Erstrund...

Erstrund: Yes?

Gate: It's quite fascinating, isn't it?

Erstrund: You mean my new body, or Mnemonic CFM Tank?

Gate: Well, to be honest, both of them. Now I know that Lifesaver said to me that I should not talk about those topics...

Erstrund: Oh, he did?

Gate: Yes, but now that you've had your fun, not to mention a great dinner, I was wondering, since my patience is getting really thin, if it would be possible for me to study your new body?

Erstrund: You would want to study me as well?

Gate: Yes please. I would like to understand your body, and get with a conclusion.

Erstrund: Well, that's fine by me, but Lifesaver and his team will get the first opportunity.

Gate: I know that, guess I have enough time still to wait for their completed analyze.

Erstrund: Maybe you should ask Lifesaver if it would be possible to study on me as well at the same time?

Gate: Like temporarily joining him and his team?

Erstrund: Yeah, I guess you could give it a shot. What else is there to do in your free time anyway? Nothing you said.

Gate: You're right, good idea. Thanks Erstrund, I will make sure to let you know of the results once we are done analyzing you.

Erstrund: Heh.

And 5 seconds passed.

Erstrund: Well, since we're not at the medical section yet in about 10 more minutes, why don't we talk a little about the meeting yesterday?

Gate: You want my opinion about all of that?

Erstrund: Well, not about the topics in particular, but more about the attendants, like mister Idugo, mister Bynhar, Dr.Zejaf and Dr.Unqwai.

Gate: I can give you some thoughts about them I guess. Let's see...

Gate: About mister Idugo, I, like pretty much everyone else, was dissapointed that he failed to deliver detailed information about Sodom and Gomorrah.

Erstrund: Yes, too bad.

Gate: I didn't catch much of his personality, although he seemed intelligent in conversations.

Gate: About my comrade Dr.Zejaf, now that was a real shame, regarding his discussion about his giant cannons with Dr.Weil.

Erstrund: Another sad moment during the meeting yes. I don't know what to say other than those newspapers and Weil's report looked like the truth...

Gate: There must be more behind it the more I think about it. Well, guess we will hear more news from Zejaf soon enough.

Erstrund: Dr.Weil was fierce during the discussion although he spoke with great confidence, and he made Dr.Zejaf leave the room. Was Zejaf panicking or just disgusted by his claims?

Gate: Again, I guess we will hear more news soon enough.

Gate: Mister Bynhar was perhaps the most mysterious attendant that day.

Erstrund: I guess you're right. By the way, after that whole incident, we were forced to leave Yonk Facilities, and in the end we were unable to discuss some topics which were scheduled. Another dissapointment.

Gate: Like IDC, the Mother Elf and that red reploid yes. Especially the Mother Elf was of most concern to all of us. Now I wonder if there will be a second chance of gathering a meeting like that and talk about Project Elpis...

Erstrund: Not to mention IDC and all it represented, and still represents today.

Gate: Besides mister Bynhar, there is of course 7 Replenloids which X is hunting on right now.

Erstrund: Ah of course, you knew that also.

Gate: These days I work inside Maverick Hunter Headquarters as well. But about those Replenloids, I think that I saw X walking with one of them around Headquarters today, he looked like one in the available profiles we have of them...

Erstrund: X caught one!? That's good news! And what are these available profiles?

Gate: I said he LOOKED like one of them Erstrund! Don't get too excited, because they work individual most of the time and are very hard to trace these days.

Erstrund: Sorry about that. It's just that I encountered one of them the other day and I was feared of dieing that day, so I wanted to think by myself with a happy feeling that X caught one.

Gate: Of course I understand. That bizarre encounter with the Replenloid, every attendant saw him that day.

Erstrund: Yeah...

3 seconds later.

Erstrund: Oh and what do you think about Dr.Unqwai?

Gate: Dr.Unqwai? He was the fellow behind the stained glass right? Now that you mention it...hmmm...I think he looked familiar as well..

Erstrund: "As well"?

Gate: I think I told you before the meeting happened, remember? That the red reploid looked familiar.

Erstrund: Ah yes.

Gate: But about Unqwai...yes...I can see him inside my head now...but!

Erstrund: Huh?

Gate: Impossible...how can this be?

Erstrund: What is it Dr.Gate?

Gate: Dr.Unqwai DOES look familiar for sure.

Erstrund: Why is that then?

Gate: Because he resembles an old colleague of mine, back in the day when the Nightmare virus was active and I was presumedly labeled as a Maverick.

Gate: Dr.Isoc.

Erstrund: Isoc? Hmm...

And Erstrund then saw a medical section entrypoint.

Erstrund: Ah, look Dr.Gate! We are close to Lifesaver and his team now.

Gate: You're right. Let's go.

Flores: Dr.Erstrund???

And Erstrund looked at his back instantly, and recognized the woman.

Erstrund: Ah, it's you!

And Erstrund appeared with a smile on his face and walked closer to her.

Flores: Mister, all I want to say is, thank you.

Erstrund: Don't mention it. More importantly, how are you?

And Erstrund's arms touched Flores's shoulders.

Flores: I am better now, thanks. the doctors and nurses really helped me out. Soon I will be able to return back to work.

Erstrund: I am glad, dear. So glad. That horrible Mechaniloid must had scared you to death.

Flores: Ah, yes...

Erstrund: Now don't think of it anymore, and get recovered, so that you can go back to your normal life again.

Flores: I understand, mister.

Erstrund: By the way, what is your name?

Flores: Flores.

Erstrund: That's a beautiful name, Flores.

And Erstrund patted on Flores's head.

Erstrund: I gotta go now Flores.

Flores: Where to?

Erstrund: They still need to recover me as well sort of.

Flores: Oh, so what kind of disease do you have??

Erstrund: It's nothing like that hehe. It's about my new body, you see? A lot of things has happened... but perhaps I will tell you more about it in another day.

Flores: Ah, okay. If you ever want to experience dreams again, you know where to go!

Erstrund: I will definitely come back once I have time! Bye bye for now!

Flores: Okay, byeee!

Meanwhile at a very different location, inside a disposal facility, a gathering of Reploids was about to happen very soon. To be precise, a quick meeting of the Last Misguided Bodyguards will happen. At the moment, only Delaying Platypus and his Chief were inside, waiting for the rest to come.

Delaying Platypus: It has only been 36 hours, and only me and you, Chief, have arrived so far inside this abandoned building. I wonder how many will make it...

???: Every single one of them will make it, Platypus. Despite being in great pressure at all times, they can handle themselves in the most dangerous situations. They make me proud.

Delaying Platypus: I know that all of us are strong, Chief, but that Reploid's agents have appeared several times already and they are on the same level for sure, perhaps a bit higher.

???: I can only hope that Cockroach will deliver the diamonds and Force Metals soon enough for us to implement Diometals in the future.

Delaying Platypus: Absolutely.

KRRRRKKK

A metal door opened slowly, and out of it came a Reploid. As Platypus and his Chief looked at the Reploid, they could not see who it was because he was silhouetted into complete darkness. After recognizing his body the Chief spoke:

???: Ah, Focus Miranha. I am glad you made it.

Focus Miranha: Chief, Platypus. I bring news regarding Tokoloshe and Eel.

???: Is that so?

Delaying Platypus: Continue.

Focus Miranha: Yes, but let me close the door first...

KRRRRKKKK

Focus Miranha: First of, Eel. Sadly, he was under attack by that Reploid's group, and left defeated inside an abadoned warehouse. It seems that the agents had to leave suddenly.

Delaying Platypus: Damn them.

Focus Miranha: That is not all. After that, Eel was taken away by Legendary Maverick Hunter X, I assume that they are inside Maverick Hunter Headquarters now.

Delaying Platypus: That fellow again!? They must have ordered X to hunt us down!

???: X, the Maverick Hunter.

Focus Miranha: Shall I continue Chief, or is there anything you wish to say?

???: At this moment, nothing in particular. I just had some thoughts. What do you have to say about Ignite?

Focus Miranha: He died yesterday.

Delaying Platypus: WHAT!?

Focus Miranha: According to the news I was able to read inside Curcil City, that seems to be the case, as the media had announced his name on the news.

???: A great loss, but I wonder...

Delaying Platypus: Chief?

???: Was it his confidence that led to his defeat, or our confidence as a whole?

Focus Miranha: To be honest Chief, I think it was his fault for dying, because Tokoloshe was known to be quite overconfident and arrogant with his actions around of us. It's not a wild guess to think that his overconfidence led to his defeat.

???: I suppose you are right for now, Miranha, until we know the whole picture.

Delaying Platypus: Who was it that delivered the final blow Miranha?

Focus Miranha: That still needs to get investigated, Platypus.

Focus Miranha: And that is all I have to report, Chief.

Delaying Platypus: One more thing. Were you sure nobody noticed you except for Eel during the time you were his companion?

Focus Miranha: Come now Platypus, you know my abilities by now. They could not possibly see me, as I was blended into the night's horizon, creating the illusion of a foggy cloud in the distant.

Delaying Platypus: Just to make sure Miranha, before we had to deal with another problem which needed to get solved.

Focus Miranha: Hmpf.

???: Enough. Calm down for now, and let us wait for the rest to arrive.

Delaying Platypus: Chief, we should do a ceremony once everyone has arrived.

???: I did not forget, Platypus, don't you worry about that.

???: Now, let us sadden ourselves with the loss of Ignite Tokoloshe, and hope for a better future.

[Flame]

This was such a great story. cant wait to read the rest of the recovered story.
I was real curious as to Gate.

[Flok]

Dr.Wily II: HAPPY DAY!
So... Unqwai resembled Isoc? Dr. Wily strikes again!
But besides that, a general recap of the past events, and Gate seems to be acting normal again... Or could it be a facade?

And one more Replenloid is revealed, and still, the chief is shrouded in mystery...
Another excellent read Killsringman.

Oh, one more thing...

Quote from: Killsringman on January 14, 2008, 14:10:36
: A great lost, but I wonder...

: Now, let us sadden ourselves with the lost of Ignite Tokoloshe, and hope for a better future.

Those 2 instances should be "loss" instead of "lost".

MegaPsycho: Mwa ha ha, Isoc is back.

 small update: Changed Copy Miranha into Focus Miranha, because it fits his appearance and abilities more, plus it sounds better. I corrected "lost" into "loss" as well, thanks Dr.Wily II.

And since I am posting small time this time, I might as well ask again: What do you guys wanna see now in the story? The story at this moment is still very flexible, I can go write about many things right now.
 
Dr.Wily II: No problem.

So for how to carry on...
I say go for the obvious route...
Research into Erstrund's new body, and a bit on Focus Miranha and gang.

Flame: looks like Gate is beginning to rememmmmberrr..... Not too long before he remembers Zero now...

The next arc won't be quite up yet, however things will start to get more interesting during the next few chapters.

Chapter 9: Purple Air

Inside Maverick Hunter Headquarters's command room, X was discussing to Yuqer about what to do with Tesla Eel next.

X: Commander Yuqer, I request to escort Tesla Eel to Aladraina City immediately, where he shall be confronted and most likely, punished by the court room.

Yuqer: Why so fast, X? And why do you want to escort him? I could let someone else do the job as well.

X: Please Commander Yuqer, we are dealing with a dangerous Replenloid who has had ties with IDC itself in the past! For us to get such an opportunity to let one of the IDC survivors confess to the crimes they have committed will most likely not happen again. And that is why in order for us to know more about the inside of IDC, I hereby request to escort and keep watch over him at all times from now on, so that we can be sure that nothing will go wrong.

Yuqer: I see...indeed, nothing should go wrong with you keeping everything under control. But what about the 7 other Replenloids? Oh wait, I forgot about Ignite Tokoloshe, he no longer exists. Who should be hunting on them in the mean time?

X: Your most trusted Maverick Hunters of course.

Yuqer: X, X...you, along with Zero and Axl were once my most trusted Maverick Hunters. Did you not know that?

X: Well, if you say so, then yes, I did knew, since we were always pointed out to the latest unknown threats.

Yuqer: Always, until the fall of Illusional Dergur Corporation. The company's last days.

X: That is true...but considering the strategy plan we had implemented, it was bound to be sucessfull.

Yuqer: But Axl has now been missing for 3 years and Zero has sealed himself for a very long time. Your trinity bond of friendship is now on hold since those two are now officially absent from Maverick Hunter Headquarters.

X: So, since I will go to Aladraina City now, after I get your permission of course, the trusted ones below the 3 of us, who are they, Commander Yuqer?

Yuqer: Hmmm...To be honest, I haven't thought about that before.

X: Commander Yuqer, could you please think about it, and let me know your decision soon?

Yuqer: It will require some thinking for sure, but it shouldn't take to long to form a team of Maverick Hunters who will participate into Operation Replen Eradication.

X: That's a plain contradiction, Commander.

Yuqer: Hmmm...I guess you're right, X.

X: Alright, take your time. I will wait with the criminal.

Yuqer: Okay.

And X left the command room.

Yuqer:(How careless of me. I wonder though...perhaps, those two, should be suitable.)

Yuqer let his left hand sit on his chin then, and he looked up.

Yuqer:(Those two, and who else...maybe...him? After the results, I could try him... no, I should try him.)

Yuqer:(Fill him in on the situation, see what his reaction is, and then use the single object which will convince him, if it is absolutely necessary. Since I am interested about the reaction, let's see how that turns out first.)

Yuqer:(And since they will be going into the Infected Zone, only he at this moment, should be available in order for them to proceed further on. Perfect timing, doctor.)

Yuqer:(Any other possible team formations? Hmm...)

5 full minutes later:

Yuqer:(...No. My first idea is the best one. Time to call X now, and start creating the plan on paper.)

And he also left the command room, while Arnold watched him leave with haste. Meanwhile, as Erstrund and Dr.Gate entered Lifesaver's office, Erstrund informed Lifesaver about the newly discovered ability, while Gate listened next to them.

Lifesaver: Mysterious, yet interesting.

Erstrund: Dr.Lifesaver, I am ready now for you to continue the analyze.

Lifesaver: I understand, I will call my team soon. This new ability...hopefully it can be explained somehow.

Gate: That which is magic should never get explained, but only observed.

Lifesaver: Huh?

Gate: Ack, sorry, that quote just popped up inside my head. Sorry.

Erstrund: Where did you get that quote from?

Gate: It was one of Dergur's quotes.

Erstrund: Dergur? The founder of IDC...Illusional, ah I see.

Lifesaver: Anyway, I am calling them now. Please wait here, Dr.Erstrund.

Erstrund: There's one more thing, Dr.Lifesaver.

Lifesaver: Which is?

Erstrund: Which is, Dr.Gate would like to analyze me as well at the same time.

Lifesaver: Dr.Gate huh?

Gate: Yeah, I am really curious to observe Erstrund's new body now, especially after that new ability which I saw at the restaurant. Since I am known as a Reploid specialist, I think that it should be no problem for me at all to participate into the analyze, right?

Lifesaver: Well, it should be no problem. It should also improve our conclusion, most likely.

Gate: Thank you very much.

And Gate appeared with a smile on his face once again.

As Lifesaver called his team over, they went to the so called analyze room inside the medical section in order to continue on observing and analyzing Erstrund's new body. They paralyzed Erstrund then, and along with Dr.Gate, continued. As this was happening, after Lifesaver told X of his plan, X agreed with it, and left for Aladraina City immediately, together with Tesla Eel. As X was piloting the ship, Eel was silent during the whole trip, and chained, so that he could not move. What kind of crimes has Eel committed? And what is the key Eel is holding in order to discover the truth about Bynhar? Those questions would be answered inside a court room in the nearby future.

Erstrund's analyze itself however, went on the whole night, and only in the early morning was the team finished. As Erstrund awakened once again, and once again had a headache, Lifesaver sat at the end of the bed and spoke to him, while Gate and Lifesaver's team stood behind him:

Lifesaver: Good morning, Erstrund.

Erstrund: Have you found a conclusion yet?

Lifesaver: Only a temporarily one.

Erstrund: I see. Please tell me.

Lifesaver: Right away. Dr.Erstrund, we have been busy analyzing your new body through the whole night, and this is our conclusion:

2 seconds later

Lifesaver: Mnemonic CFM Tank lets you automatically remember certain things and makes profiles out of the available data.

Erstrund: Automatically? But how?

Lifesaver: I trust that you know what materials your invention is made of?

Erstrund: Erm, yeah, of course.

Lifesaver: Crystals and Force Metals, which combined with...the rest of your body, has created this ability.

Erstrund: The rest...?

Lifesaver: And this is the confusing part. Listen well, your body, Erstrund, exists of 2 parts. One of them is Mnemonic CFM Tank, covering your lower body and legs, while the other part, and at this moment we have not given it a name yet, covers your upper body, arms and head.

Erstrund: 2 parts huh? Can you tell me what kind of materials reside inside my upper body?

Lifesaver: We can only identify metal parts, your Identity Core and the nervous system. 2 unknown materials reside inside your upper body, who have also traveled to the lower part, and they have the colors purple and orange.

Erstrund: I see...

Lifesaver: We also used your invention during the analyze.

Erstrund: By holding the crystal button for 5 seconds and using the menu?

Lifesaver: Yes, we wanted to observe it during the analyze.

Gate: And then something happened.

Erstrund: What was it Dr.Gate?

Gate:...A new entry popped up, suddenly.

Erstrund: What did it contain!?

Gate: I suggest you find that out by yourself now, Erstrund.

Lifesaver: Yes, that should be the best decision.

Erstrund: Ah, I understand.

And Erstrund held the button for 5 seconds and the menu appeared once again. As he touched the Profile Mode with his finger, he saw that 1 new entry was visible, while the other 2 were still there. The 2 old entries were listed as O#1 and O#2 respectively, to summarize them. As Erstrund touched the new entry, called O#3, he read through all of it:

O#3: Erstrund
Status: Active
Sex: Reploid

...A Reploid...intelligent ...KRZ implemented...personality al...ed d.r.n...fe...crs...Emo..tional ac..tion..s will be stored inside his body as p.nne..d... A strong wl .KRZZZ..... shall be needed to accomplish this. At last...the trick... has....b...n....ma....rev..ry. Works inside Herakto I...Rodomar....Happat...head doc..that...which is known, can...not be all...creted.. semi mechaniloids/reploids knwn... .as. .Information Scanners.......KRZZZZZZZZZ.....stored inside...la.ge....brilliant I say.

Fused with his own invention...and will....uncover...the truth....they won't..KRZ..f..re....t....out....who...am...I?

Lifesaver: As you can see, the profile is corrupt.

Gate: My conclusion to that is that even though you have the ability to clearly remember certain information, your body is trying to deny the very information about yourself.

Erstrund: Strange...

Lifesaver: About the available information, some of it is random, isn't it, Dr.Gate?

Gate: Indeed, the profile is...well, it consists of not only your own memories, but most likely, others as well. Considering what the profile is talking about, this is very likely in my opinion. The order is also as far as I know messed up.

Erstrund: That's what my thoughts were as well.

Lifesaver: That's right, your thoughts are most likely true to the case. And about the random information, my theory about that is, that you must have known about the object or person somehow, in order for the information to show up inside your invention.

Erstrund: Seems logical.

Lifesaver: As if you have been granted access inside people's memories.

Erstrund: Hmm...

Gate: And not only that, but another theory we created is that if Mnemonic CFM Tank would had been left out of your body, then your body would still had stored the information...somehow.

Erstrund: How can you have thought of something like that?

Gate: The way your invention has been implemented inside your body made us think of that. The way it is linked to those purple and orange objects, while they are linked to your Identity Core...

Erstrund: They are linked with my core!?

Gate: The unknown materials started moving on their own during the analyze, hence you felt a funny feeling probably if you were awaken, and then it suddenly stopped. That was the moment when we think that a new profile had been made. It stored the information inside your Identity Core, and then somehow, your invention converts it into readable text inside a profile.

Lifesaver: You decide somehow when to store information, even though you don't know when that happens.

Erstrund: So, information is stored inside my core as well? My Identity Core!?

Gate: A theory, Dr.Erstrund. It is however impossible for us to study your core itself, since it is wrapped by these 2 unknown materials. As we tried to touch it, it reacted violently with strong electric shocks.

Erstrund: I don't get it, this all seems so sudden to me...

Lifesaver: Stay relaxed, Erstrund. Don't forget that all of this are merely theories, Dr.Erstrund. In order for us to know more, we will have to create a test.

Erstrund: A test?

Lifesaver: There is more, Erstrund. Remember Dr.Weil's weapon and the questions I still have for you?

Erstrund: Yes.

Lifesaver: Those will be discussed shortly. There is a question though that needs the most priority at the moment.

Erstrund: Hmm...

Lifesaver: Erstrund, I must ask you of this in order for us to understand your new body better.

Erstrund: What is is Dr.Lifesaver?

Lifesaver: Have you...ever wondered who created you?

Erstrund: My...creator?

Meanwhile, at a very different location, inside the Infected Zone, on top of a random hill, a Maverick stood there, near the edge of Yonk City. Around his area, lots of purple air was visible to the naked eye.

???: Kya hah hah hah...finally, I will get my revenge, dirty bastards!

The Maverick released his arms and out of them came 2 very large sword like weapons, and he started using them on the ground to travel at a very fast rate.

???: Throwing me away in this wasteland just like that, unacceptable! I shall reclaim what was mine once, and eliminate all of you! BE PREPARED FOR IT!


Posted on: March 01, 2009, 11:55:01

VirusChris: Awesome chapter! Axl's mention again! And now we know where Zero is.

Can't wait for the next chapter!

Dr.Wily II: Hmm, so theories have popped up regarding the fusion, and this purple + orange substance, possible residue from Weil's weapon?
And Yuqer, sounding all ominous-like...

And new questions...
Judgement of Tesla Eel, a new Maverick, and Erstrund's creator...

Another awesome chapter, Killsringman.

Chapter 10: The Irony of Destiny

Dr.Erstrund 's analyze was done, for now. Lifesaver and his team, together with Dr.Gate, came with a temporarily conclusion.

Lifesaver: Is there are signs of memory at all about that subject?

Erstrund: This is the first time that someone asks me a question like this.

Lifesaver: Can you answer it?

Gate: Hmm...

Erstrund: I never thought of such an absurd question.

Lifesaver: Why is that?

Erstrund: Because like many of my kind, and I am referring to scientist Reploids now, there is no need to know such a thing. You should know that too, Dr.Lifesaver.

Lifesaver: Aren't you interested then into finding out who created you?

Erstrund: Certainly, but would it really matter if we are living in the present constanly, gazing at the future?

Lifesaver: (Another ignorant one failing to understand that the past is just as important as the present and the future, tch tch.)

Erstrund: Well, would it?

Lifesaver: If all of us want to understand your body better, we have to know who created you in the first place. That would the best start.

Gate: Indeed, Dr.Ersrund. Why hesistate? You were given free will over your decisions after all, just like us.

Erstrund: Maybe because it is my opinion? I tend to have doubts about the world I live in you know...

Lifesaver: You're missing the point Erstrund. We are trying to help you, by recovering you, as well as analyzing you. If both of those tasks are successfull, we can focus on helping the world again.

Erstrund: But why me first!?

Lifesaver:...

Gate:(Now he will say it.)

Lifesaver: Because we feel that we need you and your abilities to help shape the world peacefully again.

Erstrund: Eh!?

Gate: Calm down Erstrund. We also discussed about this during your analyze. Actually, it was Commander Yuqer's idea.

Erstrund: Yuqer?

Lifesaver: He just happened to walk in, and after we explained your body to him, he somehow came up with that crazy idea...and yet, the more I think about it, the more it is becoming a very useful idea.

Erstrund: My body...Mnemonic CFM Tank...

Lifesaver: Erstrund. You have the power to capture and keep information to yourself.

Erstrund: After hearing your thoughts, that seems to be the case.

Gate: Therefore, we want you to participate into the test all of us have implemented for you.

Erstrund: What is the test about?

Gate: ...You will have to ask Commander Yuqer about that.

Erstrund: Why won't you answer me Gate?

Lifesaver: Because it's basically a dangerous test.

Erstrund: Dangerous huh?

Lifesaver: And we would like to ask for your permission right now, but I really think that you should know the details first.

Erstrund: None of you won't tell me, except for Yuqer?

Gate: Yes.

Erstrund then stepped out of his bed.

Erstrund: Then I will walk to him right now.

Lifesaver: That's great to hear, but remember Erstrund, let me ask you a few questions first.

Erstrund: About the fusion?

Lifesaver: Yes.

And Lifesaver stood up.

Lifesaver: Everyone, please leave for now. I wish to discuss this with Erstrund personally.

L's team: Of course.

Gate: Right, I will be going to Yuqer then to inform him.

Lifesaver: Do that.

And everyone left, only Lifesaver and Erstrund remained. Both sat down on the bed next to each other, and Lifesaver started talking again:

Lifesaver: Now then. Erstrund, tell me in detail what you remember from the fusion.

Erstrund: Alright. In the beginning I just stood there, frozen, because of Ignite's appearance. I feared him at that moment, having never felt such intense power coming from a Reploid.

Lifesaver: I see.

Erstrund: Just when I thought that I was finished, Ignite somehow blew up into pieces. But oh wait, before that happened, an Information Scanner came by, and once I saw it, it flied to me, and then I grabbed it with both of my arms.

Lifesaver: Okay, now why did you grab it up in the first place?

Erstrund: Although I could not feel my whole body anymore at that moment, I was somehow able to grab it. And as to why I did such a thing...I wanted to be useful in what I thought were my last seconds of life.

Lifesaver: Useful as in taking quick snapshots from Ignite Tokoloshe?

Erstrund: Yeah, sort of like that.

Lifesaver: And then let it fly away, to say, Maverick Hunter Headquarters.

Erstrund: That would be the place to deliver pictures such as that.

Lifesaver: Seems logical, alright, continue.

Erstrund: And the next thing I knew, I was getting sucked into an object, which I later heard was Dr.Weil's weapon. It was a very oddly shaped weapon by the way.

Lifesaver: Did the Information Scanner get sucked into it as well?

Erstrund: Yes.

Lifesaver: Hmm....I wonder though.

Erstrund: About what, Lifesaver?

Lifesaver: Did you get sucked in, or was it the Information Scanner?

Erstrund: Huh? Well let me think...

Lifesaver: Yes.

5 seconds later:

Erstrund: Now that you mention it, I think it was the IS who got sucked in instead of me.

Lifesaver: That's what I thought. The IS got sucked in, and while your were still frozen in fear and had grabbed the IS earlier, you could not let go in such a bizarre situation.

Erstrund: Which turned even more bizarre the moment I had that new body.

Lifesaver: Haha, indeed. Now comes the biggest question.

Erstrund: Tell me.

Lifesaver: Do you remember anything at all the moment you entered Dr.Weil's weapon together with that Information Scanner?

Erstrund: Other than a terrible pain the moment I hit my head inside of it, no. Everything was black, either because of getting hit, or it was already dark.

Lifesaver: Hmm...

Erstrund: Hm...

Lifesaver: Obviously we don't know something yet what triggered the fusion, Dr.Erstrund.

Erstrund: Yes.

Lifesaver: It's a good thing that I questioned Dr.Weil about this yesterday.

Erstrund: Oh, you did? About the fusion?

Lifesaver: And also about his weapon. Here's what he had to say.

And Lifesaver reached into his left pocket, and out of it came an audio tape. He then put it inside an audio recorder which happened to stand there in the room as well.

Erstrund: So you recorded him?

Lifesaver: It was necessarry, not only to remember his words, but to have some evidence ready too.

Erstrund: Evidence..?

Lifesaver: Listen, this is just my opinion, but I don't trust that man.

Erstrund: How so, Lifesaver?

Lifesaver: His behaviour was intimidating to me. He looked like someone who is always cold, using hard logic to conquer over arguments against his opinion. And it was kind of hard to ask him about his weapon too, since he stated that only the attendants at Yonk Facilities had the right to hear those details.

Erstrund: He has a point though, although I don't know how his behaviour was like when he spoke to you.

Lifesaver: Didn't you watch him during the meeting?

Erstrund: Of course! He had a heavy discussion with another doctor called Dr.Zejaf, and in the end Zejaf left the meeting because of him.

Lifesaver: Dr.Zejaf huh...interesting to hear. I admire the work he has done for Reploids and humans alike.

Erstrund: I also respect him, but yeah, I have some doubts about that now after experiencing that discussion.

Lifesaver: Let's just leave it at that and start listening to what Weil has to say, okay?

Erstrund: Fine, play the tape!

Lifesaver: Here goes.

*CLICK*

And the tape started playing. The doctors started listen carefully.

Weil: "Ein Ende's equipment consists of a rail cannon, a levitating hover beam, an unbreakable shield made using the material known as Diometal and homing PARS 3 LR's with an additional RBS-15 stocked in the inner part. Furthermore, once the targets have been annihilated, Ein Ende has the ability to reconstruct the damage done over the ground, using electromagnetic radiation."

Lifesaver: "What do you remember of Dr.Erstrund?"

Weil: "That Reploid suddenly entered my weapon through the opening back part of it. After my weapon crashed down, completely destroyed, he was still alive. That is all."

Lifesaver: "Why is there an opening on your weapon?"

Weil: "The opening was needed in order for the semiconductors inside to have air available to them , so that they would not overheat."

Lifesaver: "Lastly, could you describe to me what kind of materials Ein Ende is made out of, and what kind of objects can be found inside it?"

Weil: "Steel, sillicon, energy, electrive charged objects producing electromagnetic fields, titanium, aluminium, helium, Diometal, hydrogen and oxygen. I will not tell you anything more."

*CLICK*

Lifesaver: I think that he's lying atleast somewhere, but I am not sure where exactly. The most crucial part of understanding your fusion perhaps even better is missing as well, which is Ein Ende's inner part.

Erstrund: There definitely was a visible rail cannon though.

Lifesaver: He was also talking about magnetic fields, which seems to be the cause for your IS to suddenly get attracted to it. Now refresh my mind please, did this happen before or after Ignite was destroyed?

Erstrund: Before..no wait, after it!

Lifesaver: And that was the moment that this rail cannon was used, right?

Erstrund: Exactly, which means that lots of energy was used at that moment...

Lifesaver: ...Activating the magnetic fields. I think we can agree on this theory, right Erstrund?

Erstrund: Sounds very logical, so yes.

Lifesaver: But that's as far as we can theorize now. There's simply nowhere else to go with this. We have to confront Dr.Weil about this again in the future.

Erstrund: That sounds like a plan, and yeah, I am getting interested now too by knowing all of this.

Lifesaver: See, Erstrund? Knowing things about the past can be interesting as well.

Erstrund: I guess you're right, Lifesaver, heh. Thanks again for everything so far.

Lifesaver: No, thank you for being so honest with everything. Once again, you sound like a very healthy person, just like the moment I first met you.

Erstrund: I see.

Lifesaver: Anyway we are done here, for now. Let's go to the command room now, shall we?

Erstrund: Alright.

And both of them stood up, got out of the medical section, and were heading for the command room of Maverick Hunter Headquarters. About 20 minutes later, they arrived inside the command room, and saw that Gate was talking with Yuqer. Suprisingly Burden Mosquito was there as well. They confronted each other:

Yuqer: Ah, Dr.Erstrund! We meet again.

Erstrund: Hello Commander Yuqer.

Arnold: Hey Erstrund, how are you holding up?

Erstrund: Arnold! Yeah I am doing fine now, thanks.

Arnold: Good to hear!

And Arnold went back to his duty.

Lifesaver: So, Yuqer. About this test...

Yuqer: Ah yes. I will get straight to the point, and fill you in on the details, Erstrund.

Yuqer: *Ahem*.

3 seconds later

Yuqer: The mission was altered quite a lot, wasn't it Erstrund?

Erstrund: You could say that yeah...I am also saddened with the loss of Blitzkrieg...

Yuqer: A fine mercenary Reploid he was. He had lots of potential to enter Unit 0 indeed.

Yuqer: In any case, you, alongside Blitzkrieg, were able to eliminate Ignite Tokoloshe. Yet you were unable to confront Dr.Unqwai about Yonk Facilities's energy crisis.

Erstrund: During those dangerous circumstances, I can honestly say no to that.

Yuqer: I agree, and I am also not dissapointed. Actually, I am more than satisfied, and now even more, after hearing what Lifesaver and Gate over here had to say about your body.

Gate: And those theories still stand, Commander Yuqer.

Yuqer: Good to hear.

Erstrund: So, about that test, what is it about?

Yuqer: Actually Erstrund, don't get frightened now, but it's....a new mission.

Erstrund: WHAT!?

And several of the operators inside the command room looked up at them for a moment.

Lifesaver: Calm down Erstrund, and listen carefully.

Yuqer: This time, you  will not go after Dr.Unqwai. You will however go after another Replenloid.

Erstrund: NO way...

Yuqer: Actually, I can give you an option here...

Erstrund: ?

And Yuqer showed 2 papers which he was keeping behind his back up until now to Erstrund, and he started reading them:

Name: Delaying Platypus
Affiliation: Last Misguided Bodyguards
Type: Replenloid
Last location: Inside Yonk City, retreated shortly after.

His name is put in honour. Specializes into delaying attacks, to be more precise, slow motion tactics. He is an expert into delaying his enemies figuratively, creating chaos, attention and confusion at once at random spots. Rumoured to be the leading Replenloid, his honour for his group is so highly, that he would probably sacrifice himself in the face of death, in order for his ambition to still have success, and to delay his enemies for one last time.

Name: Accelerate Eristoff
Affiliation: Last Misguided Bodyguards
Type: Replenloid
Last Location: Raiding several Mavericks inside the Infected Zone nearby Giga City.

A devil hasted Replenloid who can keep up with the fastest known Reploids. Further information is unknown at the moment.

Erstrund: Delaying Platypus, I have met him before...

Yuqer: You may choose which Replenloid to hunt down first.

Erstrund: But why...

Yuqer: Ah ah, Erstund! Let me finish first, and no, X cannot participate into his secret mission at this moment.

Erstrund: Why...

Yuqer: Because he is escorting Tesla Eel even as we speak right now.

Erstrund: Another Replenloid?

Yuqer: Yes. As you might have heard already, We believe that your new body can help us out somehow.

Erstrund: Somehow...?

Yuqer: You just keep throwing questions at me huh? As expected hehe.

Yuqer: After we are successfull into capturing another Replenloid, we could use your abilities during interrogation to uncover more hidden information inside their heads, or should I say Identity Cores.

Burden Mosquito: Really, can he possibly do that?

Lifesaver: Yes Mosquito.

Erstrund: But how am I supposed to capture them in the first place!? I am a scientist!

Yuqer: Don't be silly. During this mission, to accompany you, 3 others will join.

Erstrund: 3..?

Yuqer: Dr.Gate over here is one of them.

Gate: Hi, heh.

Yuqer: You will need him to travel through the Infected Zone.

Yuqer: And another one who will accompany you is...

Yuqer then turned around and said:

Yuqer: You may appear now.

And suddenly a Reploid fell on the ground from above, and stood up instantly. As Erstrund looked, he saw that it was a female Reploid, an armed one.

???: Hello there, boys.

Yuqer: A fine woman indeed. You will need her during the mission you will pick.

Erstrund: Really?

Yuqer: She is specialized into dealing with terminating viruses, kind of like Replenish. She however, knows how to terminate the program Replenish itself, using her sniper rifle.

Erstrund: What, is she able to do that?

???: Let me say what Commander Yuqer means with terminating. I actually can disable the program for a short while. Which will grant Burden Mosquirto the perfect opportunity to finish the Replenloid off.

Yuqer: To finish disabling him. Not finish him off. Remember, we need to interrogate every single one of them.

???: Sorry Commander Yuqer.

Erstrund: So Gate, her and Burden Mosquito..?

Yuqer: That's right. They will help you defeat the wanted Replenloid. In the end the most likely case you will see is 4 Reploids versus 1 Reploid.

Burden Mosquito: And with me by your side, pretty much nothing can go wrong, Dr.Erstrund.

Yuqer: Mosquito will also act as the leader of this new mission.

Erstrund: So, you need me for another mission...

Yuqer: For Operation Replen Eradication yes. But only if we have your permission.

Lifesaver: As I said before.

Erstrund: I am really not sure, perhaps I should get back to Herakto Inc. first and inform everyone of my safety, and get back to finishing up the biographies we have been making...

Yuqer: Erstrund, we can easily inform everyone for your safety.

Lifesaver: We can also test your new body using this mission.

Gate: That's right.

Burden Mosquito: I guess so.

???: Hmm...

Gate: What better way is there at the moment to combine your revolutionary invention with a way to accomplish peace? If you would go back to Herakto Inc. now, it would be a waste, and then we cannot find out more about your new body.

Erstrund: I have no choice the more I think about it. My curiousity is still itchy over my new body...

Yuqer: Does that sound like a "yes"?

Erstrund: Hmmm...ah...oh well...heh. Yes.

Yuqer: Alright, Thank you Erstrund! I will be very interested in the outcome of this mission, probably moreso than the last mission. You may also have Arnold again as a navigator if you like.

Erstrund: I will think about that, heh.

???: By the way, Dr.Erstrund, my name is Stella.

Erstrund: A pleasure to meet you, Stella.

Stella: I will be looking forward to our teamwork, and your unique ability. Let's give it our best shot!

Yuqer: Everyone, rest for now. Tommorow in the afternoon, please gather inside here again, and then, I would like to know Erstrund's answer as to who to hunt down first.

Erstrund: I understand. Good night then, everyone.

And everyone then left the command room. Lifesaver walked together with Erstrund back to the medical section, and along the way had 1 more conversation before they went to bed:

Lifesaver: So Erstrund, I still need you to answer one more question from before.

Erstrund: From before? Which one would that be?

Lifesaver: Well, who could your creator possibly be?

Erstrund: Ah...well....I don't know. I really don't know.

Lifesaver: A quick answer, but I understand. Thanks for answering an important question like that.



Posted on: March 09, 2009, 18:40:48Well, Chapter 10 was the last entry which Vixy recovered the replies from. I gotta have to ask her again in the future if it would be possible to recover the other replies as well, up to the latest chapter available, which is 17.

From now on, locations will be identified easier. Also, 2 new entries have appeared inside Erstrund's Mnemonic CFM Tank.

Chapter 11: Rest Well

Maverick Hunter Headquarters:

Everyone was asleep inside, except for a number of guards who were still patrolling during night duty inside, as well as outside. Even in the night, Information Scanners are still heavily active, taking pictures of dangerous situations for example. The IS's fly to Headquarters from far locations, delivering the important pictures to the guards who are responsible for taking them to the operators inside, so that they can download the pictures and store them inside computers.

Erstrund slept peaceful, however, his mind, and perhaps his new body too, had already decided during his sleep on who to hunt for in the afternoon. Soon, Erstrund's 2nd mission for the Maverick Hunters was about to begin, and new discoveries will once again be made.

The night remains calm around the area of Headquarters until the morning.

Herakto Inc.

Rodomar has just arrived closely to his company's building. It was a dark night, and the streets seemed to be calm, with no living beings visible nearby. Even no Maverick Hunters from Mosquito's unit were nearby. He parked the small ship on a public parking spot, and walked to Herakto Inc. Idugo's ship was nowhere to be seen. Rodomar then thought about bringing the ship back to Headquarters:

Rodomar:(They said that they will find their ship back during the next day, so that is not of concern to me anymore.)

He then found the entrance to Herakto. Inc. It's lights were lightly turned on, but not brightly. It seemed that scientists were still busy inside. He used the elevator then to reach floor 14. He also noticed that no one was on the ground floor to welcome him.

Rodomar:(No sign of anyone, yet, I shouldn't worry. This atmosphere is normal during nights.)

And the elevator then opened inside floor 14. Rodomar looked inside, and found several scientists still busy doing research on all kinds of things. Danny immediately walked to him and said:

Danny: Rodomar!

Rodomar: Hey Danny.

And several scientists looked around to see Rodomar and said hi too. Rodomar greeted them back.

Danny: Hey man, I read about the news...there was a crisis at your place right?

Rodomar: Yeah, things were dangerous.

Danny: Whoa, what happened!?

Rodomar: Let me just first see Happat.

Danny: Dr.Happat? Well he isn't here at the moment.

Rodomar: I see. Come, we walk to my office first.

And they started walking.

Rodomar: So, how is Herakto Express holding up?

Danny: Still fine as ever, Rodomar! Recently her energy was zero, but Erstrund gave me new batteries a few days ago, and then I installed them inside her, so that we can deliver memory chips to Yonk Facilities again!

Danny: But I guess we will have to make contact with Yonk Facilities first to see if she can reach them right now...

Rodomar: Their building was damaged, especially the helipad roof. Victims were made too, so it should take a while before the normal procedure will start happening again.

Danny: I see.

Rodomar and Danny then arrived at Rodomar's office, and they walked inside.

Danny: The big R's office, heh.

They both sat down, Danny on the guest chair, and Rodomar of course in his relaxed office chair. Rodomar then grabbed a pen and a notebook from his office desk and clicked on the pen to start writing something. As he was done writing, he looked at Danny and said:

Rodomar: Now then. Danny.

Danny: Yeah?

Rodomar: Tell me everything you know about Happat's current activities.

Danny: Everything? I guess you really need to know eh? Well let me see...

And Danny made a thinking pose while looking up at the ceiling.

Danny: Happat has been absent from Herakto Inc. quite a lot of times these days, almost always.

Rodomar: Any idea where to?

Danny: No idea, apparently he is busy with a top secret construction plan, as he has told all of us over here before.

Rodomar: Can you be more specific?

Danny: Sadly, no. It's top secret obviously.

And Rodomar started writing down presumedly the things that Danny had said to him about Happat.

Rodomar: So you never wondered why Happat always goes when he leaves the front of our company building?

Danny: Nope, but hey, he never left the front door during these times...ack!

Rodomar: Huh?

And Danny started showing a panicking face, if only a little.

Rodomar: What's the matter Danny?

Danny: N-nothing Rodomar, I just thought about Erstrund's current condition.

Rodomar: Oh, but he is fine Danny.

Danny: Really!?

Rodomar: Yes, the medical people at Maverick Hunter Headquarters have taken good care of him. They are truly professionals at their jobs.

Danny: Good to hear, jeez. Say, do you know when Erstrund will return to Herakto Inc. ?

Rodomar: When he has been cured.

Danny: From what!?

Rodomar: Well, to tell you the truth, even I do not know.

Danny: How is that possible? Doesn't anyone from the medical people over there know what kind of status Erstrund currently has?

Rodomar: It's not about Erstrund's condition or status.

Danny: Then what is it about!?

Rodomar:(Erstrund's new body has nothing to do with the topics discussed inside the meeting, so this should be safe to tell.)

Rodomar: It's about Erstrund's new body.

Danny: Huh?

Rodomar: It's a long story, Danny.

Danny: Well, I am actually on patrolling duty as a guard, but things seem safe around here, so I have all the time in the world to listen to that long story!

Rodomar: Perhaps I will tell you soon enough about what I know about Erstrund's new body. In the mean time however...

Danny: Hmm?

Rodomar: Danny. The reason you showed that face to me just now was not about Erstrund right?

Danny: W-why not?

Rodomar: Actually, you showed that face to me because you told me something which you were supposedly not to say to anyone.

Danny: What are you..

Rodomar: The old man, Danny. Happat, who always left via the front entrypoint of Herakto Inc. .

Danny: Happat?

Rodomar: Always, through the front door, correct Danny?

Danny: Well yeah, I said it, so it should be true right?

Rodomar: I am willing to bet that you know where Happat currently is and you also know about his top secret construction plan!

And Rodomar stood up from his chair, placed his arms on the office desk, and face Danny in the eyes.

Rodomar: WELL?

And Danny really started panicking this time.

Danny: Aaaah! Rodomar!!! How can you think of something like that!?

Rodomar: Stop pretending, please! I happen to know about Happat's top secret construction plan as well since a few days!

Danny: R-really?

Suddenly Chester came looking inside and spoke:

Chester: What is going on?

Rodomar looked at him and said:

Rodomar: There's nothing to see here, Chester. Everything is under control, please get back to your desk.

Chester: Hmmm..alright.

And before Chester walked away:

Rodomar: Oh and Chester.

Chester: Yes?

Rodomar: I will need to speak with you in just a minute.

Chester: I understand. I shall be waiting at my desk.

And Rodomar nodded. Chester walked away, and Rodomar faced Danny again.

Rodomar: Happat's construction plan is HUGE. And he certainly needs manpower and large materials to construct the 2 objects he has planned to make.

Danny: Gosh, really? What are these 2 objects?

Rodomar: You seem not to know every detail about the plan yet... Anyway, no, I can't tell you about that.

Danny: Okay...

Rodomar: Back to my claiming point. And this should do the trick: In order to acquire and transport these large materials, you, Danny, used Herakto Express to transport them to the hidden construction point!

Danny: !

And Danny's eyes grew bigger and he had a face as if he was looking at a blind spot. Rodomar noticed this and said:

Rodomar: Looks like your body language has just confirmed my reasonable claim. Am I right?

And Danny then started looking down with a defeated face and said:

Danny: ...It's true. You are right.

Rodomar: Excellent.

And Rodomar started writing down more things about Happat.

Rodomar(While writing): I suppose you have a reason, or order, not to tell anyone of this. May I ask what that is?

Danny: That was Happat's idea, just to make sure that no one, even colleagues from his own company, including you and Erstrund, would get bothered by this.

Rodomar: And by this you mean the construction plan right?

Danny: Yeah...

Rodomar(Stopped writing): I wonder...

Danny: About what?

Rodomar: Was it really Happat who said this?

Danny: H-huh?

Rodomar: Or was it an entirely different individual?

Danny: Like who?? Only Happat is in charge of this construction plan you know!

Rodomar: Not true, Danny.

Danny: Not!?

Rodomar: Do you know a certain someone called Idugo?

Danny: Idugo? Yes, I do. But what about him?

Rodomar: He, together with Happat, created this construction plan, and they both have been working on it together so far.

Danny: Whhhaaat!? But that sounds impossible!

Rodomar: Why is that Danny?

Danny: Because everytime I saw Happat and Idugo talking to each other inside the Herakto Express, and I was visiting them while she was on auto pilot, they never seemed to talk about that construction plan.

Rodomar: Wait, how many times and when did you see these two on the train together?

Danny: Lots of times since...Happat started this construction plan...!

Rodomar: Isn't that a little bit odd, Danny? According to you, Idugo accompanied Happat always, atleast in the train.

Danny: That's true, but I thought he was just a personal bodyguard or something...

Rodomar: A personal bodyguard!? What nonsense are you talking about?

Danny: He might not look like it from the outside, but I have been lucky enough to see his hidden strength.

Rodomar: Hidden strength?

Danny: Gosh....maybe I should had told this earlier...atleast the part I am about to tell right now.

Danny: You see, Idugo fought against 2 giant construction Mechaniloids once. It happened one time when we arrived at the construction site as usual, and suddenly several hired human construction workers started running towards us.

Rodomar: They were getting chased by the Mechaniloids?

Danny: Yes, and luckily in the end no casualties were made...because it was Idugo who defeated them and proceeded to shut them down.

Rodomar then started writing again, but this time at a faster rate.

Rodomar: Please continue telling me everything you know.

Danny: Glad you said that, it is a big relief to release all this information I haven't told anybody else yet.

Rodomar: Yeah, that feeling is familiar to me, anyway continue, Danny.

Danny: Happat looked shocked, the poor guy. And I myself was speechless. At first I was of course afraid of the incoming danger, but then Idugo stopped them, and it was amazing...Just BAM, and BAM. He told everyone to stand back and that he would take care of this. He jumped high into the air and then crushed both of the Mechaniloids's heads all the way down into their very own bodies.

Rodomar: I see.

Danny: I wouldn't want to see that with humans....ew. Anyway, I did not know what to do during all of it happening. I know that I am supposed to be a guard at most times, you know that as well...but during that time I was of course the engineer of Herakto Express, with no firepower equipped.

Rodomar: Understandable.

Danny: After the construction workers were calmed down, they were ordered by Idugo to continue working, while a small group remained to pick up the large materials Herakto Express was carrying all the way to that place.

Rodomar: Remind me to ask you about that place, Danny. But first, continue with your story.

Danny: Alright. So, they carried the materials inside.

Rodomar: What kind of materials?

Danny: I really, really don't know Rodomar. You probably need to be a rocket scientist and a genius at the same time to identify the materials!

Rodomar: Someone like Happat, yes. And Idugo.

Danny: Yeah, but Idugo? It sounds so unbelievable to me.

Danny: And then suddenly 2 Information Scanners came, and instantly started shooting pictures of the incident.

Rodomar: Erstrund's Information Scanners huh? They were pretty fast weren't they?

Danny: Either they just happened to be nearby, or some other kind of danger was present near the construction site. I don't know.

Danny: But anyway, once the IS's were done, Idugo suddenly jumped up at both of them, and took them first down to the lower ground. He then punched them numerous amount of times until they were heavily damaged. They did not destroy though.

Rodomar: Odd...why did he destroy them?

Danny: I can only think of 1 conclusion, which is that Idugo probably saw Information Scanners for the first time at that moment, and presumed them to be dangerous as well.

Rodomar: Sounds reasonable...and interesting, all of this information so far, Danny.

Danny: Yep.

Rodomar: What happened next?

Danny: I then got ordered by Happat who suddenly spoke to leave together with Herakto Express, back to Herako Inc. again.

Rodomar: And then you left.

Danny: Yes.

Rodomar: Were you supposed to pick them up at a specific time?

Danny: Happat would contact me randomly using a transmitter I carry always.

Rodomar: Do you have that transmitter with you right now?

Danny: Yeah, here it is.

And Danny showed it to Rodomar.

Rodomar: Can you contact Happat right now?

Danny: Unfortunately, no. Only he can contact me, and not vice versa.

Rodomar(Stopped writing): There, this should be enough information.

And Rodomar scrapped the paper of the notebook and did it inside one of his pockets. He stood up, and said:

Rodomar: Danny, can you take me to the construction site right now?

Danny: Guess I have no choice, do I?

Rodomar: You know that I will not hurt you.

Danny: I know that.

And Danny stood up as well. Rodomar walked to him, put his right hand on Danny's left shoulder and said:

Rodomar: Listen, I just want to know why Happat kept this a secret from me and Erstrund. Do you understand?

Danny: Of course I understand! You are after all big R, and Erstrund is big E.

Rodomar: And the 3 of us combined is HER, yes.

Rodomar: Now come, we walk to the Herakto Express.

And they started walking out of Rodomar's office.

Rodomar: Let me first talk to Chester though.

Danny: Yes.

And they walked to Chester's desk. Chester himself noticed them arriving and said:

Chester: Did you finish with your quarrel finally?

Rodomar: It was no quarrel, right Danny?

Danny: Definitely not. We were just throwing arguments against each other about Erstrund's current condition, right Rodomar?

Rodomar: Erm, yeah, heh.

Chester: Ah, I see. Erstrund yes...so what is his current condition?

Rodomar: Unfortunately, we are in a hurry. We will tell you about him later though.

Chester: Alright, I am a patient man.

Chester: So, Rodomar, why did you come?

Rodomar: It's about the biographies.

Chester: Ah yes, them.

Rodomar: I was wondering if they are complete right now?

Chester: Yes, they have been completed.

Rodomar: Whoa, that is great! That means we can publish them to the world soon.

Chester: Yes, but I understood from you three that you first want to read through the biographies themselves before anyone else, right?

Rodomar: That is correct. And we will read through them soon. As soon as possible to be precise.

Chester: I see.

Rodomar: Thanks, that is all I wanted to hear.

Chester: Alright, later.

Rodomar&Danny: Later.

As Rodomar and Danny took the elevator to the ground floor, and started walking to the location of Herakto Express, Chester thought about the biographies one more time before he went back to work, administrating private harmful files:

Chester:(So, the time will soon come for Herakto Inc. to be praised once more by the world, heheh. I can't wait to receive the rewards and gratitudes from everyone again.)

I will from now on probably not mention much of the current time during Mega Man Data anymore, since I feel lazy trying to research into every mention of a time limit. You can bet on it though that the official timeline according to me during MMD's actual storyline is late 22XX. Also, from now on, the story will jump very widely, from Erstrund's location, to Rodomar's pursuit, and much more to come. Some new chapters will also still take place before the chapters before them, so be sure to take a good note of things happening. As always, enjoy the ride.

Chapter 12: Betrayal is the biggest sin

Inside the disposal facility nearby Curcil City, the LMG was finally able to start their meeting. The group was scattered around the disposal facility's main disposal room, and most of them sat on parts where it was available to sit on. Everyone sat down, except for Delaying Platypus and the Chief himself. The Chief then looked around at every Replenloid who was able to make it, and knew in his mind that not every Replenloid had made it. He then let his spear, which he always carries around, stick to the ground, and then he started walking circles around it, while holding it with his right hand, and facing every Replenloid in their eyes, saying this:

???: My dear comrades, it seems not everyone has made it to this urgent meeting.

And he continued walking circles, in a slow way.

???: And that is a true shame, as I have always had faith in everyone of you.

???: Together, we would achieve justice and endurance so far. But it seems things have become more dangerous than ever, as our enemies are tracking us down.

Delaying Platypus: That is true, Chief. Many conflicts have awakened since IDC was created and all it represented was separated from us.

Focus Miranha: Conflicts yes, such bothersome conflicts.

???: Indeed. Some of them have been solved and faced with justice already, however, the biggest conflict is still alive after all these years.

Focus Miranha: That Reploid's group...

???: She...no, that monster is responsible for everything.

???: For the Replenloids war, for the blackmailing, for the betrayal and for the victims made.

Delaying Platypus: And then she suddenly fled like a coward, hiding in unknown territory until the war was over.

???: Because of her, more traitors were made, such as Unqwai and Yonk, and both are also still alive.

Focus Miranha: But not for long regarding Yonk, Chief.

???: How so, Focus?

Focus Miranha: As you surely know by now, Chief, I have the safe ability of entering Reploid cities and reading the news.

???: Yes.

Focus Miranha: I figured to save this report up until now. As I was reading throughout the latest news in Yonk City, I caught an interesting entry.

Delaying Platypus: About Yonk?

Focus Miranha: Kind of. You see, in the entry, it was saying that one of Yonk's head police officers named Sergei, has started a revolution inside Yonk City's own police force.

???: Why would he do such a thing Focus?

Focus Miranha: Because, as the entry stated, it seems that this Sergei fellow has shown disagreements with Yonk's way of leading his city.

Delaying Platypus: And why would he kill Yonk then for these so called "disagreements"?

Focus Miranha: I figure that his sense of justice has become, how do you say, unstable.

???: As in obsession?

Focus Miranha: Perhaps not that way, it's more like wanting to see the wrong justice happen.

???: Is that your opinion, or is it a fact?

Focus Miranha: My opinion, Chief. After reading through the disagreements of Sergei in the entry, such as the deadline of constructing anti air systems around Yonk City, the lack of interest of going into the military for humans and Reploids alike and Sergei's statement about Yonk showing no signs of devotion to counter the Infected Zone even more. And, the most convincing part is that this entry has quoted one of Sergei's statements.

???: Could you read out that quote?

Focus Miranha: Of course.

Focus Miranha: "If Yonk City becomes any more threatened by the Infected Zone, and none of these factors have been cleared, then I will be forced to get rid of Yonk and oversee the city itself with absolute control."

Delaying Platypus: "get rid of" does not instantly equal death, Miranha.

Focus Miranha: I know that, Platypus. I am willing to bet though that Sergei has the potential of killing him.

???: To bet? Focus Focus, we are in the middle of an urgent meeting, risking ourselves to get exploited at any given time, and now you want to bet on something as ridiculous as that!?

Focus Miranha: Please, Chief, let me take the opportunity to send Yonk away from this world.

???: Not by betting. And what do you mean, taking the opportunity?

Focus Miranha: I will personally confront Sergei, and convince him even more of killing Yonk, by making one of the factors mentioned, or perhaps all of them, even worse than they are already.

???: So you want to go to Yonk City, and use him.

Focus Miranha: Yes. Additionally, Chief, if you could order Eristoff to let his useless recruited Reploids attack as a suicide squad, then Sergei will have even more of a reason to usurper Yonk's ruling hand, figuratively speaking.

Delaying Platypus: Useless recruited Reploids? What the hell are you talking about Miranha!? Eristoff is supposed to only recruit the extraordinary stong Mavericks from the Infected Zone!

Focus Miranha: That is exactly the reason to make the other Reploids, the useless ones, become somehow useful.

Accelerate Eristoff: Hmm...so I will have to divide them?

Focus Miranha: Exactly, and bring the weaker ones to let's say, a rendezvous point somewhere outside of Yonk City, so that I will take care of them from that point.

???: Interesting.

Accelerate Eristoff: Must I not escort them safely during their trip?

Focus Miranha: Does it matter? Heh, as long as you order them using a guide of some kind to come close to Yonk City, it should be no problem. Then you can continue recruiting the Reploids we really need.

Accelerate Eristoff: Alright, I agree with the plan.

Focus Miranha: Excellent. So, Chief? What do you think?

Delaying Platypus: It should do the trick, however why do you want to do it in this way, and not personally kill Yonk?

Focus Miranha: I did not ask for you, Platypus, hmpf. This is of course to make sure that Sergei is the one responsible for the death of Yonk, and not us.

???: Understandable, however you will have to be extremely cautious not to let Sergei accuse you of manipulating him.

Focus Miranha: Rest assured, Chief. No one can defy me, except for you.

???: Alright, I trust you, Focus. Accelerate, you heard the plan. I order you now to fulfill it.

Accelerate Eristoff: Acknowledged, Chief. I will not fail.

???: The same goes for you Focus.

Focus Miranha: Let the blending horizon guide me to the path of victory and accomplishment.

Delaying Platypus: ...

???: Unqwai also needs to be taken care of. And for him, I have made my own plan.

Focus Miranha: Really, Chief?

???: After Cockroach is done delivering the crystals and Force Metals, I will assign him onto the mission to personally confront Unqwai together with Tesla about the promised energy from Yonk Facilities.

Delaying Platypus: Tesla Eel!? But wasn't he captured?

Accelerate Eristoff: What!? Eel got captured!?

Focus Miranha: That's right, he got captured, after being beaten down by the agents of her.

???: I was just about to announce Tesla's capture. In any case, I will let Cockroach free him the moment his location has been revealed.

Focus Miranha: His location...revealed? Ah, I see, so you want me to keep an eye out for the latest news, Chief?

???: Exactly, Focus. My personal guess is that Tesla will be in Aladraina City at any given time.

Accelerate Eristoff: The judicial city...

Focus Miranha: Sounds reasonable. It also means that I will have more things to do other than going after Sergei. Thanks, Chief, I appreciate it.

???: If, for some reason, Tesla's location remains unknown, then we will have no choice but to start a negotiation with the Maverick Hunters.

Accelerate Eristoff: A negotiation with them? Why?

Focus Miranha: Because it was Maverick Hunter X himself who captured Eel.

Accelerate Eristoff: No way, X!?

???: By capturing an important figure to the Maverick Hunters, we will be able to reclaim Tesla back with the right requirements.

Focus Miranha: Brilliant idea, Chief.

???: It cannot fail if everything goes according to plan. We will have to be careful not let Reploids such as X or Yuqer become angry over this though.

???: Let's just see first if Tesla's location arrives on the news.

Focus Miranha: It has been lots of hours already since Eel got captured. If it does not appear inside the media anymore during the next 2 days, then I will have to search through the archives.

???: 2 days at most, Focus.

Focus Miranha: Okay.

???: Unqwai and Yonk have then been targeted starting right now. All that remains is that monster.

Delaying Platypus: I refuse to call her by her name...

Accelerate Eristoff: What will the rest of us do in the mean time?

???: The others, including myself and Platypus, will do everything it takes to find her location, but we will not interfere with herself or her agents, we will just merely collect more information about them.

???: And only after each one of us has been equipped with Diometals, will we fight for justice against that Reploid's group.

???: And that brings me to the end of this meeting, the ceremony.

Accelerate Eristoff: Ceremony, Chief?

???: Sadly, Ignite has died.

Accelerate Eristoff: WHAT!?

Focus Miranha: Calm down Eristoff.

???: I will explain to you what happened to him, Accelerate, while the others prepare for the ceremony.

???: Platypus, Miranha. Please start preparing. and let's succeed with getting rid of our enemies and continueing our reclamation.

FocusMiranha: Yes, Chief.

Delaying Platypus: For Illusional Dergur Corporation!
