Across the threshold: Double Dragon 02
"What did you just say?" Omnidec said, trying to mask his voice. "(I said, PUNK, who the (censored are you?))" Blueacon demanded, "(What's wrong with you, can't you understand Quill?)" "Uh," Omnidec asked, "can you put that into English?" Outside, Binn cursed and was about to open the door when Omnidec slammed through the door and rolled onto the ground in front of Binn as a transformed Blueacon stepped out, turning back into his garuda form. 'They have red veins!?' Binn thought as the garuda turned to Binn and asked, "(Mud, who the (censored) is this?)" "Oh he's new." Binn said, doing his best to deepen his voice, "He just transferred today and-" "Blueacon!" a bucket head called out "What on Mars are you doing?" "(There's something off with this guy!)" Blueacon exclaimed pointing to Omnidec, "(Check the logs!)" "You mean Tommy?" Another buckethead, a female with red armor asked, "He was transferred here two weeks ago." "Wait but Mud said,-!" Suddenly a loud bang rang out from the prison nearby as a bucket head in magenta armor exclaimed, "Someone help! The prisoner scorched Ozzy!" Immediately all of the gathered Bucketheads ran to the prision as Blueacon grabbed Omnidec saying "(Look I don't know who you are but you're coming and help us!)"
Upstairs in a certain tower with an open window, Beo in his armor sat looking at his helmet in his hands, his reflection in the visor. "How can a robot become sentient?" he asked as Wisey entered catching his attention. "Hey," Wisey said, sitting down in front of the draken, "Your little outburst had Chase up in a fuss." "Is that right" Beo asked, "I have a question though." "Yeah?" Wisey asked, "What is it?" "Is it possible for a machine to think?" "Think?" Wisey asked "You mean like AI?" "Yeah." Beo said, "But also computers, weapons and androids. The knights started out as machines themselves, empty shells devoid of life. Even if they have the ability to become organic, they are supposed to be still just machines, androids that are meant to serve as servants and soldiers for our people, so why did Verdtrus take them and the reqiem chips?" "Well, maybe they were like Clay," Wisey said shrugging "they became sentient and gained a soul." "A soul?" Beo said before laughing profusely, "What a joke!" "Huh?" Wisey said cocking his head, "What's so funny?" Slaming his helmet on the table, Beo exclaimed, "A machine cannot become a sentient being! Even if it did become organic over time, a computer cannot become a person, it can only think it becomes a person!" "Geez!" Wisey said, recovering from Beo's outburst, "You're a loud guy are you?" "*sigh*" Beo said, laying back, "Besides, how can a machine grow a soul? It's impossible!" "Well, during the 5 years war, the reptilians, the name we called the bad guys, different species from yours-" "Obviously," Beo said, picking up his helmet, "go on." "Well, these guys often use robots on the battlefield. One day when several robots were sent to destroy a village because they had lost their , they stopped suddenly. It was said at that moment they grew a soul and felt sympathy for the people and decided to rebel. Immediately their creators retaliated and destroyed them but every night ever since you can see their ghosts walking on their streets." Leaning back, Beo sighed and said, "Really, is that all? A Ghost story about phantom robots?" "It's weird, I know," Wisey said, "but how do you explain the Buckethead's leader?" "Simple," Beo said, "He's a brain in a jar held within a re-purposed bot." Suddenly Wisey chuckled causing Beo to demand, "What's so funny?" "I'm no robotic's expert," Wisey answered, "but I don't think you can stick a brain inside of a combat drone's head. It's too small. *laughs*" Suddenly Wisey's eye caught the a claw as it disappeared behind the opened window frame, causing him to get up and turn to the window. Noticing this, Beo got up and pulled a gun. "What was that?" Wisey asked as he and Beo walked to the window.
Outside, Tavo and Twin Drake waited as Isabelle flew down like a hawk like fairy. landing on the ground, the construct walked up to Twin drake and whispered into his ear, causing the humonculi to stiffen. "What is it?" Tavo asked. Breaking away from the construct, Twin Drake answered with a hint of fear in his eyes, "She says that a blue lizard man and a white bird guy are upstairs. If the blue lizard is what I think he is, then we are in serious trouble." Looking up the two dragon like entities found Beo and Wisey staring at them from the window. After a few seconds of staring at the blue devil, Twin Drake picked up Isabelle and opened his wings. "MOVE!" Twin Drake exclaimed before flying away with the construct in his arms. "Son of-!" Tavo exclaimed before starting his back engines up before he followed the humonculi in the air.
"(Censored) it!" Beo cursed as the two dragons flew away, "My power can't go that far!" "I have a hover board!" Wisey exclaimed, pulling out a comm "We can trail them back to their base." "Wait! Where did you get that thing?" "Well," Wisey said, texting a message on the pager function to the , "it was a spare that the agency loaned to me!" "Agency?" Beo exclaimed, before shaking his head and turning out of the widow, "Summon that thing now!" Finishing Wisey pulled out his armorizer and transformed. Summoning his hovercraft glider, Wisey leaped onto the craft and motioned to Beo saying "Come on!" Putting his helmet on, Beo jumped onto the craft and pulled out his gun, saying , "Let's go!"
In the yard Chipp was walking to the mess hall where the others are when his comm beeped. Turning it on, Chipp found the message <Red Dragon spotted, chasing them now!> "(Censored)!" Chipp cursed before running to the messentias hall in a furous pace. Suddenly a crowd of Bucketheads ran in front of him with Blueacon iin the middle of the crowd. Stopping, Chipp reached to one of the Bucketheads and asked "Hey! What's going on?" "Ozzy was scorched!" The purple armored Buckethead explained, "We're all going to the prison to contain her!" "Jordan! Come on man! What are you doing!?" "Sorry." the purple Buckethead said before breaking off to join his comrades as a cat eyed soldier looked back. The two locked eyes for a few minutes before the member turned back to follow the crowd. Chipp then turned and began to head back to the mess hall.
