NBB: The Fallen Boy

Chapter 24 - Ultron, and the Breakdown 2/4

[Unrenewed]

Multiple Perspectives
Zuke's Perspective
I saw Ultron turning around and I remembered something. Back in days f olympus, I had a classmate. I remember him as Aiden. He was always the kind of kid who always pranked on someone. Then Zorah, started to be the competition. Zorah was always arguing with the knights of the oath, and Rekixas was always pranking them before the class started. One day, they made a bond, and swore to always make pranks together, until one of them eventually died. I remember the day he fell with us. After Zorah was poisoned, he fell. Aiden, for the act of saving, threw himself down to at least die, with his most appreciable friend. I remember that day like if it was yesterday, but I still wonder. Did he managed to survive like us, in the rain of the 8 of us. It may sound kinda weird, but the day we all fell to Earth, was the same day, I began asking myself. If he is still out there, I wonder if he is alive. I know that each of the meteor were people, but since Zorah died in the fall, he was asleep. I fell awake, I was alive the whole trip. I'm sure it was more than seven years, I know it was more than just 70 years. Since the time we fell, we were falling wt the speed of light, I know we traveled over 700,000 years light years on the same spot over and over. I remember the last face Aiden made, it was the face of scared person, he was scared about what would happen, if he would die without his friend, that's why in the last moment I saw him grab Zorah's hand, and separated, and never pf him again. Ultron had that same face, It as if he was Aiden, I knew he wasn't. "Ultron, make your best shot." "I'll make it worth it." Ultron raised his hand, and opened his palm, since he was some sort of metalic multi AI robot thing, he made his hand into some sort of gun. He coughed two times, and then screamed, "Gatling Thunder!" And he shot some sort of red plasma shots. I couldn't dodge, since it they were running at the speed of light. I handsign and ninja blocked them. It knocked me back over 6 feet back. "Those lightning shots are made with amperes of Archnox, the red thunder. They are made to pierce threw anythng, even adamantium." I look at my metal arm and see multiple holes and say, "Archnox? How could I never knew the name of that substace?" "It's not a substance its a species of electrical ions. There are many, I only wield the Archnox, the red thunder, it breeds massive waves of heat and precisely passes threw matter, shattering it's pathway." "So the lightning's have names?" "Yes, I assure you know that yellow lightning is known as Electricity. That one is mostly known to be wielded by your father, Zeus? Was is that, I totally forget the names of old friends." "You know dad?" "Of course, the god of lighting and the olympus, sure knows me, as I know him." "Why do you want to fight me? Why can't we escape together?" "Look at me, pure AI. Humanity won't see me as a friend nor enemie, instead as their future." "Future? Why would you want to be with humans?" "I see them as scum, they don't deserve to an get 89th chance, to be saved from the clutches of what would be as evil. You know, I once ought to think of the world as an extraodinary place, until I killed a powerful knight with my bare hands. His name was Managley, knight of the blue thunder, known as the managleist. I was expereimented since, I was just a mere human. I was born with Archnox as my blood flow, instead of red blood, I had vibrant green blood. My body cells showed of a human, but I was son of some sort of Alien, which gave me my Archnox powers. Then I was executed, then brought here, as a mind inside a robot, then they changed my mind, and made it a program." "You killed the knight, but what happened to his lightning?" "It transfered into her daughter. I'm pretty sure I heard her name was something, like Manalope. Such a child, it was barely just 97 years ago, I fear most of her has become dust." "I surely had heard that name, in my childhood, i'm not sure where, but I know it was something like that." "Well, enough chat, we made a deal, your turn. If fail to deafeat me, we will clash blades like warriors. Understood?" "Yes." "Gimme your best." I walked back, and this time I thought of a plan. I never done it before, but I thought of using the X-wave, but with the black thunder. I reached my blades grappled on my arm, grabbed their hilts. And made the cross pattern. Rune thought with me and said in my head, "I'll combine myself within you, and then use the black thunder around your arms." "What are you going to do?" "I'll excel your blades into deadlock, reaching his point of energy charge." I started charging the blades with the black thunder. I fell Rune doing stuff, and said, "Ultron, you better have good skills of defense, becuase I'm looking foward on defeating you in battle." "Ahh, the honor kind, seems quite lovely to meet another one after all these years." I charged the blades, they had a deadly aura around them. As I started to run towards him I screamed, "Deadlock!" "Deadlock, seems I finally have a challenge." I dashed him with the X-slash. I thought I had em', but then I heard a voice, "You must be a special person, I know your father is Zeus, but who's your mother? I wonder, everytime I see some picture of you, I wonder, was that Manalope your mother? I don't know myself, but what I do know, is that you inherited some of that power. You got all six lightning, but all you know is about deadlock and managleist. 6 against 1, it's not unfair dependeing on the minor sides potency level. Your levels of Gunpoint, Nemesis, Deadlock, Nebula, Managleist, and Electricity, all against the Archnox." "Well, didn't you say you wanted to swordfight." "Since the day you were born." Ultron teleported behind me, and I countered his teleport slash with the orange lightning, Nemesis. I blocked it with a giant blade, the nemesis cleaver. "You found it's secret. The Nemesis is composed of very dense matter, it's thick, and it fortifies it's user." "That's unexpected, I never thought I could really use the other lightnings." "It's in you, the Electro Alchemist, running at speed of mach 1 to mach 7." "Well, when you say that sounds like I'm the biggest shit in the world." "Well, to be honest, I have been wanting to clash swords since the day you awakened as a guardian.'' I jumped far back, with sword in hand. I saw the blade, it was a doble handed blade, with a weird golden-ish hilt, with marks on it. I put on the googles to analize which type of language was, but before I did, the marks translated in my eyes. It said Rivalchio, some sort of language it was. "It's the Rivalchio blade, used by the knight of the orange blade, he used to be a good man, then the AI computer controlling this prison, killed his family and village, then he raged out and killed every single AI controlled machine. He tried to destory me and Deus Ex, but he failed, and in a complete aboslution, he got oblireratedc by Deus Ex, I gave him mercy, but Deus Ex never forgives." "Deus Ex, wasn't he killed." "He is Deus Ex, pure manipulation running in programs at the speed of light." "Pure manipulation running in programs at the speed of light?" "Exactly, now, let's continue, my lunch break is in 5 minutes." "You're a robot, you don't...." "I have my reasons." "I jump attacked and clashed blades with him in midair. "You're quite good with this new form." He knocked off guard with a pulse of Archnox. I fell on my back, and then saw him dashing threw air to attack me. I raised my blade and grabbed it with both hands. Standing with sword in middle, I noticed the position he was in, so I waited for the moment for a good clash. After I saw his reckless move, I bashed him. "Perfect, I got you." "Or did you, Zuke?" said while disapearing. Rune whispered in my ears and said, "Use Nemesis as a way of finding him." I noticed Rune's idea, since it fortifies what it finds empty. I created an orange forcefield of lightning around my arm, I changed of lightning mode, and used Gunpoint. I used the orange forcefield as ammo for the gunpoint cannon. "Gunpoint? That one is not seen very often, I'm sure it was the one who had a low amount of time essence, which made very lasting, it was also one with not much energy if I may recall, Zuke." "Stop hiding, you scared now?" "Nope, just waiting." I shot it where I felt motion, and in the meantime fortifying the air with the miss fire. After I shot a lot around me, I saw matter, fortifying in the air, but it was falling matter. I realized it was Ultron about to stab his blade in me. I reacted with a shield of nemesis. "Wow, already improving, seems quite the expected, but not as less I thought." "Well, you really make a fight in seconds, Ultron." "Stop calling me by my name, it's embarasing to hear it all the time." I moved really far back. I changed back normal mode, the cannon turned into an arm, and the lightnings were back in the matrix programmer, at the back of my shoulder. "Zuke, you should not flow your lightnings in just your right hand. That not just causes a level of multiple energies inside that react and create a black hole, it's just stupid to put all your energy into your most important component of your arm, which gives me really easy advantage I take it from you." "That won't be happening, never." "Oh really, and how is that?" I had no other choice than to face a challenege. I reached the matrix, with all the lightnings in it, and I grabbed it, and my arm turned off. Rune came out and said, "What are you doing? This is not safe, mostly in the middle of a battle. Are you sure you're not drunk?" "Rune, go alive, I need you to do something useful." "Oh, you mean?" "Yes, I have an idea." I did what I nver expected to. "Zuke, would you mind if I ask what is your plan B?" "You're about see it." I grab the matirx and break it. And then a crystal inside was shining in a colorful glow. I saw the crystal and I heard a voice that twitched my head a little. I was almost out of energy, no spare sensu beans left for a quick recharge. That voice was twitching my head little, like if it was forcing me to do something. The crystal started to brun my hand with some sort of massive heat. I was holding it, for so long, I thought it was burning my hands. "Zuke, put that back where it was, it's not safe to have that in your hands." "Says who?" I had no other choice but to take the risk. I pushed it through the center of my chest. It encrusted itself in the center of my body, and then it exceled the lightnings within me. Everything around me was moving so slow, and I noticed it wasn't the world that was moving slow, it was me moving fast. I saw Ultron saying something, and I chained my mind with Rune. We were one in my mind. Unseparated, it fell like it was permanently. Rune's mind clogged my mind with his memories and thoughts, I felt like I was knowing too much. I felt a huge headache and moved unconsciusly and fell to the ground with my eyes closing on their own. I heard the weird voice again, this time it was clearer, and it said, "Please, don't go my child, you must succeed on this battle. You must resist!" And after that I closed my eyes completely.
