Welcome to Gaia! ::

The cave they entered had a secret hatch in the far end of one of the forked tunnels that he designed to confuse any intruders that somehow made it into teh cave. The hatch opend up around them and the floor began to submerge into a pit that decended about the length of 2 football fields. Once they reached the bottom the metal doors opend from each side and there they were inside of one of Maestros most proud Headquarters. HQ 39 where he constructed and trained only his elite and most advanced reploids and mavericks.

Dr. Maestro: "I have completed your probe bot that you requested"

Maestro flips a switch on the wall which then sends a surge of power to what looks like the ball of a spiked malice on one of the large tables. The big spikey metal ball began to float untill it disconnected itself from the wires. The bot suddenly dropped and slammed onto the floor like it shot out of a cannon. It then opened up and made a rototic squeel like a raptor.

TAS: "you did it!!! Thats just how I wanted it Dr."

TAS heads over to the out spread bot on ground which is hissing and buzzing. He looks down at it as it looks up at him. The bot has 4 sharp spider legs that connect together and make 2 bigger legs. It has the body of a lizard with razor sharp spines all along its back and tail, except for the tip of the tail which opend up into 4 pieces like the blades of a helicoptor. It was a buster that was fully upgradeable. The body was made out of the jet of an airplane, and the head was round and had 2 big shiny eyes with no mouth.
The bot suddenly took flight and leveled itself to TAS and looked him in the eyes and analized him.

TAS: "im going to name you AL, just like the pet dragon I have in my memories."

Dr. Maestro: "speak up, machine! My hearing is not as it used to be"

TAS: "im going to name him AL."

Just as TAS is about to turn back to the probe bot its 4 legs suddenly wrap themself around TAS's armor and connect to his helmet and suit.

TAS: "what is this?"

Dr. Maestro: "I have gave it some interesting features, and just in time too. I have noticed some activity 4000 miles from here in a place the foolish humans call... New York City. I want you to investigate this disturbance and eliminate anything that chooses to defy you. I will upload the exact location into your database in just a moment, understand!!!?"

Just as Maestro finished talking TAS was allready shooting up the cave at blinding speeds with the jet propelled suit he was now wearing.

TAS: "I think we can find it pretty easy. This brain of mine is telling me where this New York is located, but I dont understand how I have all these memories when Dr. Maestro claims that he created my brain himself. I think he just wants to control me... what do you think AL?"

AL: "beep beep"

Jay's buster arm returns to his hand and he lowers it.
"Sorry just been on edge. Havent seen a Mavrick or one of Maestro's bots in a long while. Started to think he was dead."
Jay chuckles then walks back to his hover board.
"I have a little place in the slums we can talk there. I'm assuming u can fly."
Most of the policemen have fled the scene and now fire droids were comming out to put out the flames.

-=eyes moved to the other as his gun arm restracted then he nodded a bit walkign up to his side while he stood upon the board.=- No..But I can fend for myself i assure you...-=eyes soon rose and shifted to the left through the misty darkness surrounding them, then they narrowed=-...somethings coming....might be a pain...-=he waited to face this evil he sensed approaching their position=-

Jay turned to hear explosions near the Statue Of Liberty. just as he turned in the directions of the explosions they were already gone.
"Looks like we have our first Mavrick to fight. God its been a long time."
Jay started up the hover board with Oni on the back. The board floated up and raced off toward the Statue Of Liberty.
"You have a saber?"
Jay noticed a handle on Onis back, indicating that he had a Z-Saber.
The board drew closer to the green rusted Statue.

TAS did not budge at all and just took the blade without reaction.
The blade from the reploid cut right through TAS diaganolly and caused a giant explosion on contact, completely covering the reploid in a shower of flames and smoke.

Meanwhile just on the other arm of the Statue is the voice of someone screaming "help!!"
A human figure is seen kneeling down over AL. AL is laying on its side and looks to be shut down. The figure is wrapped in his cloak clutching his own arm as if it was damaged.

The Human Figure: "please help me, I tried to stop the maverick with my probe bot but he took us out effortlessly and was just about to destroy us before you came."

The van slowed, lurching as it approached the remains of a town. Dust flew around in small cyclones as the wind blew through the empty streets and lightly peltted the sides of the van as it rolled. Joe pulled into a fuel station and hopped out, going over to the cap and took it off as he flipped the lever after inserting the nozzle. One of the littler kids ran into the store and did like Joe had told him, perssing the button to allow him to pump.

The other children ran in looking for things to eat having run out of food a few days earlier. They opened packs of chips and crackers shoveling what they could in their mouths as they tucked the rest under their arms or in bags. Jodi, the small girl, pulled on the freezer door after touching it to see if it was still cold. After several failed tries she began to beat on the handle with a peice of concrete. Before the handle could break off the door flew open, knocking Jodi to the floor, and a set of glowing eyes drew closer from inside the cooler.

The kids were busy showing off what they found to Joe then loading it into the van when suddenly a high shriek came from within the store. "Jodi!", Joe shouted as he grabbed the pipe he had kept just in case and ran into the shop. A loud clang and Joe flew out the window, shattering the glass and rolled along the ground. The entrance to the shop burst open as a weird looking reploid stomped out with Jodi screaming in his hand.

The kids shouted at it and threw stones or whatever was handy as it advanced towards them. Julius rushed into the van and opened a service panel he had found, a wire had snapped and its frayed ends dangled near each other. He covered his hands with some gloves and touched the wires together, they sparked but nothing happened. "Come on...", he touched them again, nothing, again, nothing, "Come on work!", the boy shouted but nothing happened. outside the van the kids were being kicked around, literally, as they tried to save Jodi. Julius tried franticly to make the robot powerup but everytime nothing happened and he resulted to hitting it, shouting things that would be considered curses especially to an old model. Jodi screamed loder as the reploid began to squeeze her, glaring at her with an empty unfeeling stare as Julius' shout of, "Work you peice of scrap!" mengled with the sound of Jodi's cries for help.

Deep down inside a pit of unending darkness a young man floated, sinking ever deeper. "Where am I?.....How did I get here?....", his words echoed through the nothing. His eyes began to close when a flicker of light flashed before his eyes and the sounds of the scene at the fuel station reached his ears. "Whats...happening....cant see.....", his eyes narrowed trying to focus on the light, "trouble...I cant...help..." His eyes closed completely and images of a world long gone flashed in his mind, ending with a young girls scream and images of destruction. Julius beat the droid even with his fist bruised when something whirred on inside.

Jodi struggled against the giant hand holding her as the other children cried both from their own pain and not being able to help. The side of the van facing the reploid began to glow red then burst in one spot as a dense energy blast came from inside and severed the reploid's are at the shoulder. Jodi freed herself from the broken arm and gazed into the blasthole as a single red eye gazed back. She shook in fear as a hand reached out and ripped open the van like a can of tuna and a black robot in tattered cloth, the one they had saved, stepped out.

[]sorry i hadn't posted in so long.[]

A suspicious look came upon his face as the cyborg took up no defense against his attack. Silver hair shifted pass his shoulder as he just realized it was decoy with no time to guard himself as he was blow back by the intense flames and smoke. He took the blast fullforce upon his torso, sending him sliding upon his back, a hand grasping onto the very edge of the statues torch while feet dangled helplessly over the edge. Eyes narrowed looking to his Z-sabre which had fallen out of his reach against liberty's thumb where it met the base of the torch. His left arm was disabled by the blast and dangling at his side. "Damn...how could one fall for such a simple trick..." A look nothing less of loath came from those eyes while noticing AL approaching him. "Hmph....attack if you wish...but you'd better not miss..." as he said this his eyes shifted just slightly.
