Now, another chapter.

CHAPTER FIVE:
Armor Armada

"There, done." Gary said, assessing his work two days later, after rousing himself from bed. There was an armada of thirty-two armor replicas. "Not bad for sixteen hours continuous work."

Then he meandered over to the control panel, and began to punching in a command sequence. The armada stirred to life. They were basically standard SPARTAN armor sets with just one modification. The animated armors sat up and got to their collective feet. Then Gary opened a hatch in the ceiling, which opened jerkily and creakily.

"Now, go my pretties," Gary said, sounding rather like the Wicked Witch of the West, "fly, fly, fly! Complete the scan!"

***

"Took him long enough," Malice complained.

Ravager snarled quietly.

"Quite right, Ravager, quite right."

***

Cloak and Parker had returned to the quiet spot from two days previous. Away from the mayhem -- Abby and Saffa were chasing Rotiart with a spiked club apparently.

"Should we stop them?" Cloak asked.

"Eh, Rotiart probably deserves a good beating." Parker shrugged.

"We should keep that armor safe -- why are you wearing it?" Cloak said, revealing what was truly bothering him.

"You know I'm basically naked with out it -- oh, shut up, Tyr."

"Still it's risky -- whoever tried to scan it won't stop with a single attempt. I wouldn't."

"You worry too much."

Suddenly, the armada landed as Cloak narrowed his eyes, saying, "And you don't worry enough."

"What's to worry about? They're just SPARTANs."

"That fly via boot thrusters."

". . . That fly via boot thrusters." Parker echoed, then admitted, "Okay, I admit that it's a bit unorthodox."

"Parker, they're scanning you!"

What has it been since he was last here - one year? More than that?

Dunno.

CHAPTER SIX:
Crushed and Frustrated

"Guys, stop it!" Parker said, assuming there were people inside the armor.

"Parker, they're not guys," Cloak said, ferrokinetically crushing one like a soda can, momentarily disrupting the scan. "They're robots."

"Then let us kick butt." Parker replied, disabling one by simply knowing the chink in the armor (which he refuses to tell anyone the location of for obvious reasons).

The two quickly made short work of the armada. The ground was littered with incapacitated or crushed animated SPARTAN armors.

"That it?" Parker asked.

"Yeah."

"Okay," Parker said. "Now who do call for clean-up?"

***

Witha cry of frustration, Gary pounded his computer console. Only 35% had been scanned. Gary coveted Parker's armor so much, but he did not have any intention on wearing it. But modifying it and selling replications of the armor.

Granted, this failure was disappointing, but he was not too terribly daunted. He would not throw in the towel so easily.

But he was back to the drawing board. . . . But he had what he needed. An idea.

He set to work immediately, not caring the time of day he would finish.

***

Malice was sitting back in her recliner. Her hand was in the nearly-empty popcorn bowl. Her head was bowed.

"zzzzzzZZZZZZzzzzzz . . ."

Suddenly, Ravager roared loudly.

"I'm up! I'm up! I'm up!"

A young sorceress is tricked into releasing a vengeful spirit from a mirror and into the body of a war machine.

  • Book CXCVIII: Heart-Numbing
Fragments of the Mirror of Khione pierces the eye and heart of a RAFian.

  • Book CXCIX: The VSSL
An alien invasion scout comes to earth, eventually looking for a Terran-made device called the VSSL.

Titles are not final. Yes, I know it's ambitious.

Okay, before you read this chapter, let's have a moment of silence for Abby's (apparently forced) departure.

. . .

Now, the chapter.

CHAPTER SEVEN:
A Better Robot

"Completed," Gary said. "Dr. Ivo, eat your heart out."

Garu's creation did, indeed, resemble AMAZO a great deal, only with rougher synthetic skin. It's eyes just beads in cavernous, recessed holes, while it lacked a mouth and toes completely. Its hairless body was solidly the color of platinum. If it stood, it would be approximately six feet tall.

"AMS," Gary said, with the air of naming a baby, "for Ability-Mimicking Synthiod."

Then he walked around the table in which it lay, and bent down to where an ear would normally be on a ordinary human. He spoke in the barest trace of a whisper, "AMS, rise."

AMS' eyes glowed hellish red as they powered to life. It rose from the table, unnaturally stiff and straight. It stood up in a similar manner.

"What is it you wish?" its voice was tinny, as expected.

"Scan this," he said, gesturing to the one armor he didn't send. AMS eyes flashed and it internalized the powers it scanned from it, and its flesh bubbled to mimic the armor.

"Now, go, my apex creation," Gary said, grandiosely, rather like Baxter Stockman in the newest incarnation of TMNT -- the one on Nickelodeon. "Go and scan the armor of the one known as Parker."

***

"Well, that didn't take long to clean up." Cloak said brightly.

"You cheated." Parker complained.

"You were the one wanting to turn it into a competition," Cloak countered.

"Yeah, well," Parker said, but never got to finish the thought as AMS made its debut appearance in the forum.

"Oh, fantastic." Cloak sighed.

"What do you want, platinum-played pu--"

"Parker. Language. There are children in this forum, after all." Cloak said, gently reproachful.

As will I.

New chapter.

CHAPTER EIGHT:
AMS's Aimless Accident

"Don't censor me, Cloak," Parker said, grumpily. "I'll --"

"Where is Designate: Parker?" the power-duplicating robot said.

"Dude, how can it speak without a mouth?"

Cloak said nothing, but gazed at Parker with a heavily-lidded look, one that clearly said "Really? That's what grabs your attention? After all the Andalites and androids you've met, that's your first concern?",  and he held this glare for a moment or two.

"Oh, right. Never mind."

"Replaying primary query," AMS said, "where is Designate: Parker?"

"Reminds me a bit of how pushy the Phalanx was," Cloak noted.

"Adjusting vocal tone and lilt perimeters," AMS said. Then it replied, slightly more forcefully and a bit more hostilely, "Where is Designate: Parker?!"

"Ooh, scary," Cloak muttered sarcastically.

"Who wants to know?" Parker said, folding his arms surlily.

"Gesture and mannerisms identified." AMS said, looking directly at Parker. "Designate: Parker found."

"Yes, yes," Parker said, waving an impatient hand, "you've found me. Who sent you?"

But AMS did not answer. A wide laser swept from his eyes as he said, "Commensing scan."

"No!" Cloak cried as he stepped between the two as quickly as he could. AMS scanned Cloak's Mark instead.

"Er . . . ror. Err . . . or." it said, its neck sparking rather noticeably. "Unsp-sp-sp-sp-sp-specified eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-energy d-d-detected."

"I think you broke it," Parker said.

"Ret-t-t-t-t-turning to b-b-base for rep-p-p-p-p-p-pairs."

It left in a rather jerky manner.

"Should we follow?" Parker said.

"No, Parker, it managed to scan you again. You're being careless and reckless." Cloak said. Then he sighed and muttered, "And so am I."

New chapter.

CHAPTER NINE:
The Surrogate

"How could it have failed me?" Gary groused as he permentally deactivated AMS, indifferent to any sentience that it may have ascertained, which was none fortunately. "How could have my drones failed me?"

Gary set to work, apparently loving the sound of his voice. He was completely overhauling AMS's body.

"So, I answer myself," he said, rather like Baxter Stockman again. "Only one mind can get this done. And I will get the scan complete come hell or high water. This time for sure . . ."

***

"Oh my," Malice said, fishing the last popped kernals from the unpopped ones in the bowl. "This'll be another long stretch of 'boring'. Why can there just be, I don't know, a montage of this?"

Ravager snarled a comment.

"Oh, right. Real-time."

***

"There, done." Gary said, weeks later.

What was, at one time, AMS was now resembled a gold-skinned blonde teen hearthrob in gold lamé retro clothing, as if it were the 1980s again.

"Perfect." Gary said. He was sweat-stained, unshowered, and unshaven. He left to clean up a bit and returned shortly thereafter looking decent. He stepped to an alcove straight out of "Surrogates", which held this new robot form.

"UHF." Gary dubbed. "Ultimate Humanoid Facsimile. 'Surrogate' is so outdated."

Considering the UHF's clothing, it was a bit grand of Gary considering anything else retro or outdated. Gary was looking rather eager.

He slid onto a rather uncomfortable-looking recliner, and put some sort of device around his head that covered his eyes. Then he laid down and activated the device.

Suddenly, Gary became inert. But he was not dead.

The bars gaurding the UHF's chest opened as his head twitched and he blinked. It had worked like he had hoped. He was controlling this robot body remotely.

"Now," he said, his voice mimicking that of a teen, "let's go and finally complete that scan."
