Part 1 of 4 – Old Ties Cut

I.

An odd sight indeed. The sky was a beautiful blue on this morning, with only a few clouds scattered around the atmosphere. The sun was glowing brightly, though not hot, illuminating the drops of dew that hung from branches of the pine trees inhabiting the northern mountain range. The peaks were capped with snow, but the valleys below were clear of any winter feeling. It was not this that was odd to behold but when the surrounding area began to shake, one would have wondered if an earthquake was truly possible on this side of the Earth. The swirling of winds that came down on a mountain caused all of its trees to toss and turn about wildly, when the humming of a massive engine became audible. With each passing second it grew louder when a small black dot in the sky suddenly became materialized into a ship.

As Android Thirteen's Behemoth Class Carrier, The Sambuca, approached the surface of Planet Earth, the odd sight finally manifested itself. Almost as if the dirt was folding in on itself like a revolving door, a single mountain that was crowded around on all sides by others opened up revealing darkness within. The ship descended into it, when the mountain closed back in on itself. The mercenary ship was completely inside and hidden by the shadows. Android Thirteen sat serenely in the cockpit fingering the hilt of his sword, Demonsbane, which had come straight from the depths of Hell. The blade glowed a soft purple when unsheathed, a poisonous look for a deadly weapon. It had slain many a foe and it was always hungry, always seeking more to add to its power.

Thirteen's return to Earth was a surprise occasion for him and his plans, but he had a very important purpose for doing so. His life goal, his sole purpose for existence was now in front of him waiting to be plucked like a piece of ripe fruit.

II.

After scouring the deep depths of the universe hopping from galaxy to galaxy, he had finally found out where his personal perfection lay. All this time it had been right underneath his nose, right on the planet he had been created. But it was not only that. It seemed that each time he returned to his home planet, he returned in such a way that he was more evil than the previous visit. There was no denying that each of his travels away from home had exposed the android to an increasing amount of corruption, driving him further insane with each event that filled his life. The unworthy must be purged, thought Thirteen as he actually spat on the floor of his spaceship.

His spit was brown with the chewing tobacco that he had placed in about twenty minutes ago in order for him to pass the time. The nicotine could be absorbed by his cyborg body, but most of the time it had no real influence on his circuits, and was just completely passed through his system. No degenerative effects from tobacco was quite the perk for being an android. As soon as the spittle had reached the tile, a small bot came scurrying out of the wall with a brush and dustpan clasped in its metal hands. It swept up the mess and returned immediately back to its nook in the wall, no doubt waiting for the next time Android Thirteen would spit and dirty his ship.

The android took a breath and tried to calm his thoughts. The matter at hand would be the most important of his life, yet he hardly felt himself anymore. His time on the planet that he owned, Shaklee, had changed his fortune forever. The evil that resided in the soil was more immense than he could ever imagine, a secret hidden away by the Gods to never be discovered. Though it seemed that the Gods had not counted on Dr. Gero creating a machine that would surpass all living beings in power.

III.

Thirteen also figured that it was much to their dismay that he had been the one to uncover it and not some righteous hero, but what was done was done. Now he needed to clean up the mess the so called omnipotent beings of the universe had left behind. Thirteen smiled at the thought, as he knew he was worthy of such a task. He knew it would not be long before he obtained the status of God himself. At least in this dimension.

His most recent travels in space ended with a conflict on the Planet Moksha, now destroyed thanks to the effect of the Tree of Might he had cultivated. Thirteen knew that to overcome the evil that resided within Shaklee, he needed to increase his power to a point the universe had yet to see. From Kelioux, he had sent probes to Moksha which had deemed its rich soil fit for optimal Shinjetsu seed growth, and he had departed. This meant a new benchmark for everybody to reach for. In essence, the power of the Gods.

The resistance that had met him there was worthy, but in the end the machine had prevailed. After gorging on the fruit his synthetic muscles had bulged even past their previous limits, his circuits developing the power to run at speeds they had never been able to in the past. The power he had obtained was an incredible and beautiful thing. And as he left the desert, dry wasteland of Moksha behind, the thing that he had never expected to happen happened.

His Creator spoke to him. Thirteen was confused at first as he thought he had destroyed all of Gero's programming embedded within his mind, but after a message had played in his head, that fact had been deemed false. After he had listened what his Creator had to say, it mattered little. Promises of perfection had been revealed and now made available.

IV.

Android Thirteen stepped out of The Sambuca, and into the remnants of Dr. Gero's lab. As soon as his feet touched the ground, the sensors found his presence and the lights illuminated the dark room. The computer that had effectively created the android clicked on to life and began to flash a multitude of colors. He smiled at the piece of equipment and awaited for it to finish booting to life.

He had plenty of history with this super computer, and it had seemed so long ago that Thirteen was granted his release from the programming that had ruled over his every move. To do this, he had lived a life full of good deeds here on Planet Earth.

But it was after Thirteen had achieved his freedom that he saw the error of his ways, and the corruption that filled society. It drove him mad. And in effect, Dr. Gero had created exactly what he had intended. A killing machine that would change the face of the world, though Thirteen had grown into much larger dreams. He was going to change the face of the universe now. The power that he had obtained from the Tree of Might was one thing, but obtaining his life goal was another.

The message that had played in his mind was short and sweet, Dr. Gero's voice was calm and to the point. "Android Thirteen, it seems that your time has finally come. As one of my strongest creations, I knew that you would finally reach this amazing pinnacle of power. To honor your efforts, I have left a very special gift for you. The thing that you have surely been searching for your entire life."

Thirteen clearly remembered how time seemed to slow down, and his circuits running a little more sluggish with from the shock.

"I will now tell you where perfection lies. But prepare yourself for the quest of your life."

"I have left you an upgrade. It is something unlike anything else you will be able to find, possibly in the entire universe. It is my greatest piece of work, all for you. If you can reach it, I can hardly begin to explain the amount of strength it will lend you. Describing it as an advanced state would not be doing it justice. There is only one single problem that I must warn you of. Reaching this upgrade will be no easy trial, not even for a fighter of your grand caliber. I have hidden the upgrade within a labyrinth of dangers, traps, and puzzles to protect this piece of work. And to ensure that only the worthy will be able to use it. This experience will truly be a test for your AI and what you have learned throughout your journeys."

With each word that played in his head, Thirteen listened to Dr. Gero closer trying to memorize each and every sentence. The location of the upgrade appeared before his eyes, like Dr. Gero had just programmed the location straight into the processor that was his brain. He heard his voice one last time before the message faded away, "Once you reach the end of the labyrinth, I must warn you of a final challenge. The last test for my greatest of creations. The upgrade exists in two forms, and resides dormant within two androids that I have created. Defeat them, and the upgrades will insert themselves into you, their new host, and your transformation will be complete. That which you have sought for your entire existence will then be yours. I wish you luck, Number Thirteen."

Android Thirteen smiled as the Dr. Gero's super computer finally finished booting, and the old doctor's voice filled the room.

"Thirteen! You have returned home for your transformation it seems. When will you be departing?"

VI.

“As soon as you tell me where it is of course.”

Android Thirteen smirked at the computer which had fallen silent. He wondered if the machine which was programmed to think it was Dr. Gero could feel its impending death upon it. After this most glorious upgrade, the thing that the android had been searching for his entire life, the use for his Creator would be reduced to nothing. He would finally break free from all that had held him his entire life. He thought that when he had rebelled against his programming, he had accomplished this. He thought that when he left Earth for many months to search space for perfection, he had done it.

Yet in truth, this was finally going to be it. This was going to be his finale.

“The coordinates have already been uploaded to your--”

The computer's voice was drowned out by the explosion that shook the entire lab. Explosion seemed to build off explosion, with smoke clouds blowing past Thirteen, his eyes still glowing a soft purple. As they returned to their normal blue, he smiled at his handiwork. Not one circuit remained of the computer that had created the redneck android, only dust.

“Thanks for all the help, but it is about time for me to get going,” muttered a smirking Thirteen. With the location of the labyrinth now embedded in his mind, he left the lab without another thought. The only use this place had to him now was a decent parking spot for his spaceship.

The mountain air blew Thirteen's long hair out behind his back as his eyes scanned the surrounding area with calculated precision. It seemed that not much had changed to his home planet during his departure. He had a feeling he would be here on this planet to stay for awhile though. Once this mission was over, the crisis on Shaklee remained, but he wanted this planet to hear him. He wanted to leave his mark so the Red Ribbon Army would never be forgotten.

Part 2 of 4 – A Path of Good Intentions Leads Straight to Hell

VII.

West City was its usual hustle and bustle, tourists and the like worming their way through each other with little regard for their peers. As Thirteen landed down on the outskirts of the city and observed this, he had trouble containing the displeasure which crossed his face. These people, they were unworthy and needed to be purged. Earth would be a better place without these consumer mongrel assholes-- Thirteen had to consciously stop himself from firing an energy blast straight into the crowds. This was not what he was here for today. Thinking back to the programming which had filled his mind for so much of his existence, he cursed underneath his breath. Old habits died hard. Today was about finally obtaining perfection, he had to remind himself of that.

Making his way into the crowd unnoticed, Thirteen's face remained a stone rock with no emotion, though brief flashes of disgust were apparent each time a human brushed by and touched the android. Sickening creatures, most of them.

His direction was downtown, where there would be even more people unfortunately. Thirteen wondered if this was even part of the trial in obtaining perfection, Gero would know how much the android hated humans, had he purposefully placed the labyrinth here in the middle of a city just to test his creation further? It would not surprise him if he did.

A smile cracked through the rock that was Thirteen's face then, and though he was staring at nothing in particular, a women in the android's line of vision became distraught at the giant redneck who she thought had taken an interest to her looks. When Android Thirteen brushed by her, she fell down to her knees crying. With the android's thoughts still wandering in his head, he had no idea what had just happened, but concerned passerby's knelt down to speak with the women. This was exactly what he did not need at the moment, attention.

VIII.

Downtown was just as he had feared, more unworthy humans. He could hardly pick out more than five people who would be able to survive in the world after he was done transforming it. In order to build something up to perfection, you must first destroy it so that it is nothing more than rubble. To gain everything, you must lose everything. That was more than just a motto for Android Thirteen, that was his life's meaning. He would be the person who brought order to this universe, to spread chaos would be to spread perfection. And he would start here on Planet Earth.

Sighing to himself, the redneck stopped at an intersection and awaited for the streetlight to turn red so people on foot would be able to cross the street. There was no reason for Thirteen to attract more attention to himself for flying around the city causing panic with each move. But as a tap fell on his shoulder, he had no idea that a simple aloof smile could cause so much trouble.

Android Thirteen turned around to take in a police officer with a tight jaw and tighter mindset. He looked as if in an instant the gun at his side would be cocked and ready to fire if Thirteen gave any indication that he would not remain orderly. Confused, Thirteen actually asked the officer what was wrong. Respect would be the wrong word that the android had for law enforcement, as he believed the laws that were being enforced were nothing more than dribble worthy of garbage, but he knew that these people would stick up for what they believed in. Thirteen could not fault people for that, but as soon as the officer responded, the android's temper took off.

“Sir, a lady said you were smiling at her viciously, and then tried to molest her on the sidewalk. If you would come with me in an orderly fashion, we can question you back at the station and I will not have to arrest you right away--”

IX.

In an instant, Thirteen had his hand around the officer's throat. He picked the human off of the ground and held him in the air like that for about ten seconds before dropping him back down. The police officer crashed into the pavement unconscious, Thirteen's grip had been so strong he was lucky that his windpipe was only closed off and his neck had not been broken. Thirteen let out another sigh as the people around him began to panic and run away. “Stupid humans,” commented the android to himself as he began to make his way across the street.

Sirens were already blaring close by, but Thirteen had no intention of facing more of the law enforcement officers in this city. His destination was near, and he would soon be untraceable, even by the likes of some of the strongest Ki wielding warriors in the universe. Again, he only had to thank his Creator for the gifts that were bestowed upon him, Ki Disruptor being one of them. The sirens were closer now but they would not be able to make it in time. Android Thirteen had the calm of mind to wonder which one of the scattering humans had enough of the courage needed to alert more of the police officers what had happened. Even though the effort was made against him, the android had to commend the person, whoever he or she was, for the efforts they had taken. They would likely be a survivor in the vision that Thirteen held for this world.

Stopping in the middle of the road, Thirteen looked to his left and right to see that no cars were coming, before settling his sights down at his feet. There in the middle of the concrete was a manhole cover that would lead into the sewer. He had to contain a laugh when he saw the Red Ribbon Army logo stamped onto the piece of metal, and not the city's. Perhaps he was giving the humans too much credit, how were they stupid enough not to notice this? Then again, how didn't he?

X.

Expecting to find himself in a puddle of filth, Thirteen was surprised when his feet touched down on stone, but dry stone. Despite the cleanliness of the tunnel that stretched ahead of him, a sewer was still a sewer. With the cover placed back into the concrete above, there was no sunlight coming through, but only dim fluorescent lights in the top corners.

When the android began to walk, his steps echoed down the entire tunnel and back only to be followed by a soft roar. Thirteen stopped then, unsure of what he heard. Reacting immediately by Speed Teleporting from point to point down the tunnel, he kept his ears open and his scanners active to try and find the source. After moving a quick mile underground, he stopped, and floated back down to the ground certain that he had just been imagining things.

He exhaled and continued on. There was not much changing in this passageway, just the same tan tiles stretching on as far as his eyes could see with the limited light from the fluorescent weakly buzzing above. Pursing his lips and beginning to whistle, he did not notice when his steps began to fall into small puddles of water on the ground and the soft grumbling of a roar returned.

Android Thirteen's line of vision only extended about thirty feet in front of him now, as the lights seemed to have not been continued at that point. Thinking nothing of it, he kept on walking until a squall of warm air came blowing from the shadows. It was such a force, that his Red Ribbon Army hat was lifted off of his head and blown back behind him.

He only had time for a wary glance in front of him, before ginormous jaws that spanned from one side of the sewer to the other came rushing forward out of the darkness. The surprise attack gave Thirteen no time to react, who could only save himself by sticking his arms out to their full extensions and to the side. The jaws kept trying to close, but Thirteen was able to resist. He stared down the gullet of whatever was trying to ingest him, struggling to remain unharmed.

XI.

The saliva that was coursing down Android Thirteen's arms had made its way underneath his armpits when he decided that it was time to act. Using all of his strength to push the jaws apart, he floated in mid air for a split second until the beast's tongue came flying out of the darkness of its throat to smack right into Thirteen's front. His breath left his lungs and he went skidding along the tiles on his back. Jerking himself upwards from the ground, he finally got a glimpse of what lay in front of him.

Resembling the largest crocodile he had ever seen, its skin was a mix of brown and black, rough looking with divots and scales at every turn. Not wasting anymore time, he charged two small Ki balls in each of his palms and tossed them sidearm as if he were a submarine pitcher in baseball. Their paths were arcs, and they collided straight into the hide of the monster.

The smoke cleared as the giant crocodile came charging through it, completely unfazed by the android's attack. Kicking off of the ground and flying backwards, Android Thirteen began to retreat while still facing the beast. The fluorescent lights whizzed by above as the sewer rumbled. Though it was so far underground, the people walking on the sidewalk above had no idea what was happening below them.

Its skin is too thick for a direct attack to effect it so it looks like I'm going to have to--

Android Thirteen stopped his thought as well as his flight and allowed his adversary to advance. When he had let himself come into striking distance, the crocodile opened its jaws once more to clamp down on the redneck android.

He only smirked before releasing a thing blue beam that resembled a Kamehameha wave straight down the throat of the crocodile. It immediately stopped advancing and stared at Thirteen with its dark eyes.

He hopped backwards and crossed his arms. "See you, freak."

XII.

The crocodile's pores seemed to emanate beams of blue light before its body swelled to a proportion that it could not handle, and it exploded. With a swift wave of his hand, Thirteen surrounded himself with a barrier of Ki protecting him from the scattering guts of the monster he had just wasted. When the smoke faded, its entails were scattered everywhere, and he smiled as he Speed Teleported past the mess.

Looking forward, he noticed a small dot of light that appeared to be the end of the tunnel through a long distance of pitch darkness. He moved through the rest of the sewer with quickness that could not be matched by anybody else in the universe. The dot of light grew larger, until Android Thirteen found himself face to face with a steel door oddly placed inside a wall made of the same tan tiles that made up the rest of the tunnel.

With his appearance, a small opened up in the door and a metal ball with a little red sensor in the middle of the sphere came out. Thirteen was not surprised when it actually spoke to him in the computerized voice that so many machines had.

Confirming you are Number Thirteen. Scanning eyes now. Scanning fingerprints now. Ki Signature processed and confirmed. Please hold, Number Thirteen.

Tapping his foot impatiently as the small bot retreated back into the steel door, Thirteen's circuits brimmed with excitement. He had made it to the labyrinth, and somewhere inside his perfection resided. He thought back to the message that Gero had left him, warning him of all the dangers that were inside this place. But his power had grown to new heights, probably higher than Gero himself could have ever imagined. He only hoped the challenges inside would be able to keep up with him.

Thirteen had no idea how ignorant he was being when the door opened up to reveal another long hallway, this time lined with steel walls. He would be in for the challenge of his lifetime.

Part 3 of 4 – Here's Your Pink Slip, You're Cute Without the E

XIII.

Android Thirteen stepped into the new room, finally free from the sewer, and noticed a door at the other end. Again, stamped in the steel was the Red Ribbon Army logo. "I guess that's the entrance to the labyrinth," mused Thirteen. He had experienced similar instances, one time when he had searched for the Dragonballs here on Earth but that had been constructed by an ancient civilization and race of people. The traps in there were primitive, which was likely not to be the case here in Gero's hidden construction.

Starting his travel to the other end of the hallway, he abruptly stopped when his built in scouter started to beep at him. Confused as the reading was not exactly a life force, his question was answered when a red laser beam appeared down the hall, running horizontally halfway up the wall.

The android only frowned at the small beam of Ki that never seemed to stop flowing, it was as if it were flowing back in on itself over and over again. Raising an eyebrow at the odd thing, he gasped in shock when the beam came hurtling forward. Bending backwards like he was playing limbo, he watched the line of Ki zoom inches above his nose.

Based off of the readings, if it had connected, he would be two different hunks of metal instead of the whole android he was now. "Pretty powerful stuff, Gero," snickered a smiling Thirteen.

"Not exactly enough to stop me, of course."

Still laughing to himself, he stood up straight again to see that two more of the laser beams had appeared on the other side of the room. One at about shoulder height, and the other at about his hips.

Android Thirteen rolled his eyes and cursed. This was not going to be easy after all. Hadn't Gero warned him of that? They came at him even faster than the first, if that was possible, and Thirteen dove head first between the two beams and front rolled into a crouching position to see that three more beams had appeared in front of him. This time they criss-crossed in an X formation, with the third running horizontal through the intersection.

"Fuck my life," commented the displeased android.

XIV.

Thirteen positioned himself close to the wall, with his back pressed up against it, when the lasers came flying down the hallway. Timing his jump just perfect, he dove through the opening in the formation on the sides.

He was halfway across the room then, but the door seemed as far away from him as it had when he first entered the hallway. As the next set of lasers appeared, not to the surprise of Thirteen, there were even more than before. Realizing there would be no way to jump through it this time as it was practically a grid in front of him, he took a different approach.

Charging twin Ki balls in his hands, he threw them at the lasers when they commenced to advance. Before they came near, there was an explosion which caused smoke to fill the hallway. Android Thirteen could not see anything, but since he was still in one piece, he figured this tactic had worked for at least the time being.

The majority of the smoke eventually milled out of the room through metal vents located on the ceiling, and the end of the hallway came back into view once more. He walked carefully, taking each step with a sense of caution. Three fourths of the way across the room now. Thirteen began to believe that the explosion he had caused must have disabled the defense system. He was wrong.

The grid of crossing lasers appeared again, this time only a few steps distance away from him. They did not advance immediately, and it was in this time that Thirteen saw something that would save his life. The Ki lasers were being sent forth from little small spheres positioned on the walls. The thin lines on the walls suggested that they ran on tracks.

With little time to act, the android sent forth eye beams just as the lasers began to move forward. The attack was successful, and the lasers disappeared just as the spheres passed him by. He actually breathed a sigh of relief, and made his way to the door that led into the labyrinth.

XV.

He took one step through the door, only to have it slam shut behind him by no act of his own. The room was pitch black, until Thirteen found himself standing in the middle of a spotlight which had illuminated him with no prior warning.

The redneck held a calm face, and when a mysterious voice called out from the darkness, he did not even flinch.

"Number Thirteen! It is so nice of you to join us! I hope you have had some fun so far, but let me assure you that it is only just beginning!" The voice sounded confident, and borderline pompous in the ears of Android Thirteen. It was nobody that he recognized, but he deduced two things straight away.

First, nobody but a member of the Red Ribbon Army could access this location. And two, the person who was speaking to him held no Ki signature. Not a single drop of life force was being detected by his sensors. There was another android in here, it was the only thing that fit.

Thirteen did not bother to respond, but only stood by the door waiting for whoever was out there to make another move. He had no idea what lay ahead of him in this room, and he had no intention of falling into a silly trap.

When the voice spoke again, a hint of amusement had worked its way in. "Come on, you redneck. Stop taking this so seriously! Let us play a game, something that will lighten this situation up a little bit."

At the end of the sentence, lights flashed to life and momentarily blinded Thirteen. When the colors of the room came back into focus the clangs of footsteps echoed from above, where a steel balcony hung. Whoever had spoken to him had fled.

Bringing his sight back down to ground level, he frowned again. The room was expansive, and again, a single door lay on the other side. The problem was about one hundred robots stood between him and the new goal. They all stood over seven feet tall, with long, skinny limbs. They held no features, only dark, rectangular slits where the eyes on a human would be and a small grill near the mouth where the voice box was located.

Thirteen contained a chuckle. What primitive creations by the Red Ribbon Army. He had already decided that to prove a point, he would make quick work of these abominations of androids.

XVI.

The first line of ten androids fell to a simple, but lightning quick eye beam from Android Thirteen. As each of their heads fell to the ground off of their shoulders, they each took a step forward before their entire body exploded. The large puff of smoke that was created reached all the way up to the ceiling of the room, but that did not stop more of the androids from advancing through the dust.

They dove through the smoke with ease, headfirst and arms outstretched. The first one reached Thirteen with no trouble, but had all of its attacks blocked with flicks of the wrist. Thirteen then ducked underneath a kick that came sailing in from behind, to turn his body around and smack one of the androids with a massive uppercut.

The force was so powerful, the android crashed into four more of the descending androids as it climbed into the air, where they all promptly exploded.

His feet touched back down on the ground, only to have a handful more of the androids converge upon him. Android Thirteen disappeared from sight, effectively dodging all of the incoming melee attacks only to appear directly above the group of twenty or so of the androids. Two large Ki Balls in his hands expanded by the second, until he fired twin beams that resembled a Double Kamehameha Wave.

The two groups of android scattered, ten moving to the right, the remaining ten moving to the left. But instead of striking into the ground, each beam changed their arc and began to skim along the tiles below and travel in opposite directions to chase after the different groups.

Android Thirteen smiled with fascination as the androids attempted to escape, only to meet their demise when his Double Tsuihikidan hit its mark. Metal pieces went flying everywhere in a reckless abandon.

He gave himself a moment to take a deep breath before he plunged back into the battle. The large number of remaining androids still sped around beneath him in a havoc that reminded him of worker ants scurrying about the top of their dirt hill. And just like the ants that they were, he was going to squash them.

XVII.

It was then that the action stopped. The room feel silent as the smoke slowly drifted out of the room, revealing the remaining android grunts which still appeared to want to fight Android Thirteen if only a little more reluctantly. There was no possible way for the redneck to get a good reading on how strong this small army actually was, but he figured an average fighter would surely be overcome by the sheer difference in numbers.

They all stared at him blankly and the thought that perhaps their programming had gone haywire crossed Thirteen's mind. Quite foolish by his part, and simply too good to be true. Thirteen was unsure of how they were able to gather Ki, but in an instant, each of the primitive looking androids were glowing a soft gold. He would have given more thought as to why his sensors were still not picking up any sort of reading, but that was then they attacked.

In unison, each android mouth opened up and fired a beam to a point that was in front of all of them and Android Thirteen. A giant ball of fused Ki began to grow by the second, and the redneck had to take a step back in surprise. The meeting place lay less than halfway between the androids and Thirteen, but as each of the machines pumped more energy through their beams, the larger the joined Ki grew.

A moment later, it was launched, a ball of Ki death intended for Android Thirteen. He took it in stride as he hopped backwards slightly to give him an extra instant to react against the incoming attack. Suppressing a laugh, Thirteen slid his sword out from within its home on his back, and gripped it with two hands. He had already tried using a baseball technique to help him today, so why not try another?

The ball of Ki came to a rest one foot in front of Thirteen, as he swung his sword as hard as he could. The joined energy wobbled for a moment as it came into contact with the hard steel, before being launched back in the direction it had just come from. It's back, back, back, back, back, GONE! narrated the redneck in his own head.

XVIII.

The giant ball of Ki crashed into the front lines, but it did not explode upon impact. Working its way through the ranks, it caused the minor explosions of single androids meeting their death, until it finally settled in the middle of the pack when a group of about five tried to meet it head on. They each spread their arms out wide to try and catch their own energy, which they did, but it still pushed them back slowly. It finally came to a rest, but when it did so, it began to emanate single streaks of light and began to hum.

Android Thirteen smirked.

The explosion was the grandest yet, rocking the very foundations of the labyrinth. The redneck was not about to leave any survivors, and fired an Energy Dan into the mess of androids. Picking off the survivors one by one, Thirteen did not stop until there was nobody left standing.

Buzzing could be heard around the room, as circuits had become undone, and fizzed their final conduction. With the small army disposed of, Thirteen reached into his pocket and pulled out a cigarette, lighting it with a subdued Fire Breath. He puffed contentedly while admiring his handiwork, when he felt the presence of eyes watching him.

Shifting his gaze upwards, back towards the steel balcony, he saw the person who had spoken to him before in the darkness. Thirteen cocked up an eyebrow in surprise when he saw General M of the Red Ribbon Army staring back at him, fury brimming at his eyebrows.

The two had last had dealings when Thirteen had raided M's casino, in an attempt to retrieve his stolen spaceship. But that was an entirely different story and one for a different day.

They were finally face to face, and M did not look pleased when he spoke, "You're cut from the team, Number Thirteen. Your power has grown considerably, but your actions are despicable. Gero will not be pleased. He brought you here so you could obtain your perfection, but I have brought you here to dispose of you, and you have fallen rightly so into my trap. Enjoy searching for your perfection, but we will do everything in our power to ensure you do not achieve it."

And with that M vanished from sight. Thirteen frowned, he could not track his movements with his sensors. He quickly added a mental note to add M to his personal hit list. Nobody would get in his way, not at this stage in the game.

The Final Chapter: Part 4 of 4 – The End Has No End

XIX.

Android Thirteen found himself walking in expansive hallways that seemed to only lead him in circles. He wasn't about to blast through it and risk having tons upon tons of dirt come crashing down on him either. That and risking losing his chance for perfection for the rest of his existence.

He continued to wander, albeit slightly aimlessly, using his sensors to try and pick up something that would lead him in the right direction. Not a single reading came up, and he was forced to continue, his sense of direction waning with every step that he took. That was when he felt an odd tingling sensation move over him, causing him to stop in his tracks.

The tingling became a rumbling, starting at his feet and moving up his entire body until Thirteen was absolutely sure the entire hallway was shaking. He fell back into his fighting stance, this must be a trap from General M no doubt, when a beast straight from Hell appeared.

Directly above Thirteen came what looked to be a giant tan worm, with a mouth so large and teeth so sharp, anything would be shake in its boots when confronted with such a thing. Crashing through the ceiling of solid steel, it came speeding straight down onto the redneck.

Chomping down, all it gulped was stale air, as the area that Thirteen had inhabited in the moment before was vacated, and only an after image of himself remained. He stood a good distance away, looking at the beast calmly, even if he was a little hesitant at the moment to continue. His built in scouter had failed him, sensing the giant ringworm almost before it was too late.

It had layers of fangs extending all the way to the back of its gullet, and segmented rings along the length of its body. Locating Thirteen again, more of its body slithered down into the hallway, but most of it still seemed to be back in the ceiling. The android wondered how big this thing actually was, and how the Red Ribbon Army created it. Bio-research wasn't exactly their forte, but first the crocodile and now this thing was surely proving him wrong.

XX.

With each lunge, the worm snapped its mouth shut attempting to take a chunk out of the android. A determined look on his face, Thirteen kept hopping backwards, dodging the attacks as they came. When he realized that he was returning to the point where the hallway split, he faltered, and in that instant the worm seemed to strain itself to capitalize. Android Thirteen disappeared into the mouth of the monster.

The worm's body shook from side to side as it continued to slide forward until it reached the divide in the hallway, and swallowed. Miraculously, it seemed to bare its teeth in a smile followed by a guttural roar of accomplishment and success in feeding.

Leaving a green tint of ooze behind as a trail, it began to slide back, its body disappearing back into the hole in the ceiling it had burst out of.

A camera that had lay hidden up in the corner of the hallway followed the worm's movements, carefully documenting its retreat.

General M of the Red Ribbon Army sat behind his desk in a secluded room watching these events occur on a monitor that spanned across the entire wall of the opposite side. His stare at the screen was so extremely intent that is was like he was trying to burn a hole through it.

He was a large man, dressed in a suit and a half tightened tie, with slicked back, dark hair and dark eyes. His face's wrinkles suggested experience and wisdom, while the scar that ran down his cheek suggested toughness. He had not been promoted to General of the Red Ribbon army for nothing.

And with that promotion had come a great gift. The gift of immortality, as well as tremendous strength and infinite knowledge. Gero had converted the human into an android, just as he had done to himself.

M was still staring at the screen, the worm had almost entirely retreated back into the ceiling, but the General felt that something was amiss.

XXI.

Activating the communication unit in his head, M spoke, "Number Twelve. Stop looking for the upgrade. If we can not find it, who's to say Thirteen ever will? If only we knew where Gero hid it or what he told the blasted redneck--"

He trailed off, before realizing he had not finished his thought, or even stated his intent on sending the message. "I need you here now. Thirteen looks to be taking a shortcut to get to us."

"What are you talking about?"

M shuddered, but tried to hide it. He had no idea how Number Twelve could move so fast. Thought to be a failed model, the android had silently grown to an incredible power in the shadows, maybe even that to match his own and Thirteen's power...

"Just look at the video," commented M.

The frame rate was slowed down considerably, and M pointed when the worm was just about to swallow Thirteen. "There. He put a shield of Ki around him to act as a barrier. He's sitting inside the Tyrant-00X right now. Our creation must have no idea and think it got its meal."

Number Twelve actually had the audacity to smile. He appeared to be just a simple human, with spiky black hair spanning along the middle of his scalp. He was dressed in a long white robe, with black Karate Gi showing from underneath. A black eye patch came across his left eye though it was just for show as he used that eye as his scouter and sensor terminal. "I will go down to the cages now and see what our redneck friend is up to. Does he think he will actually be able to surprise us?"

M chuckled. "That might be a a part of it, but he probably figured he would never get out of the maze down there. He was probably hoping the Tyrant-00X would lead him straight to us."

Twelve nodded as he turned around and exited the room. "He was right."

M breathed a sigh of relief when Twelve was gone. There was just something about him that put him off kilter. Rising from his chair, he followed his fellow android's wake. It seemed that the finale was near, and a showdown was imminent.

XXII.

Twelve walked into a room lined with hard plastic as its walls, allowing visible access by anybody outside in. It was another large room, with a large pit of water over in the corner. When General M arrived, the giant worm Tyrant-00X began to slide in from a gap in the ceiling falling into the pool of water in its den. The scar on M's face seemed to slither up and down as he adjusted his jaw unconsciously, one of the human mannerisms that had carried over from his transformation into an android. He called out, annoyance trying to break through in his voice, “Come out, Thirteen! End the beast's life already and let us get down to business.”

Android Twelve kept his face serene, his white robes flowed in the soft breeze that were coming from the worm, the middle of its body already beginning to bulge. It had time to let out a quick grunt of pain before there was an explosion of its guts outwards. In the middle floated Android Thirteen, smiling and completely untouched. With a quick flick of his wrist, Twelve put up a barrier in front of himself and M to protect themselves from getting dirtied by guts as well.

The redneck did not talk, he couldn't. There was an odd itching feeling deep from within his brain, a desire he could not seem to scratch at to settle it down. The upgrades are within them. Dr. Gero planted them there, it is as if they are calling out to me.

General M took the liberty of breaking the silence, “I can't even begin to tell you how long I have been searching for you, Thirteen. You will meet your end on this day.”

Thirteen bent his neck and cocked his eyebrow, “Oh? Have you any record from my travels in space?”

“Enough, Thirteen,” said the spiky haired android. “We were not able to find any such upgrade that Gero has left for you. We are beginning to think that our great Creator has put you up to some sort of ruse. Most likely he sees that your life has been one of treason, and he expected us to dispose of you.”

Thirteen couldn't contain his smile for his predecessor in models, he could feel his immense strength much like his own, but he could also feel the ignorance which led to borderline stupidity. The redneck was pleased, they would not know about his space travels and the transformation he had obtained, and they were foolish enough not to realize that the upgrades they had searched so hard for were actually already inside themselves. They thought Gero had been pulling Thirteen's leg but it turned out to be much farther from the truth than they could have imagined.

XXIII.

“Not here, obviously. Lead us out,” said Thirteen.

General M and Twelve obliged in not responding, but turning around and leading the way out of the room. They turned left, and then right before they walked into the most expansive room yet, something resembling a space station Thirteen would have encountered during his travels. Though, instead of ships, there were odd looking land vehicles and lines upon lines of army bots lined up.

Thirteen quickly hid his frown when he realized M was smiling at him. “Don't worry. They are all off-line and incomplete in their development. Our battle will take place on the surface and only pit us three together.”

The redneck android gave no answer, none was needed. The ceiling cracked open to reveal the blue sky little by little, until the retractable roof had completely opened up. The three androids took to the skies, three glowing gems glimmering in the bright sky. Landing down about a mile away, Thirteen took in his new surroundings for the first time. They were far away from the city, not one building loomed on the horizon, and in a long, flat, stretching plain. M and Twelve stood across from him, their auras still glowing around their bodies, obviously powering up to ready themselves for battle. Thirteen let go of his energy, choosing to scan his opponents instead. Their power levels were immense, much larger than he could have predicted himself.

Guessing his thoughts, General M spoke in a pompous tone, “Our great Creator has blessed us with strength that not even you can rival.”

Thirteen could have hoped for this to be a bluff before, but his in built in scouter told him otherwise. The air around them sparkled with electricity as the two androids across from Thirteen finished their powering up, reaching their maximum potential.

He thought to himself, That puts M at 180,000 and Number Twelve at 220,000. I didn't think power levels like that could exist on this planet, how miraculous.

Twelve had a look of disgust on his face, “Only 150,000? Thirteen the stories I heard about you almost made you sound like a God. After we dispose of you, the universe will get a true warrior of the Red Ribbon Army to show what terrorizing truly is.”

And with that, the battle began. Launching themselves forward, the three fighters collided and began to exchange blows in a quick paced grapple. They floated higher into the air with each punch thrown, Thirteen nimbly dodging each attack. He thought that he heard M scream something about 'coordination' and soon they retreated for a moment only to come at Thirteen again, but from different sides this time. Taking a chance, Thirteen disappeared from sight, using the Zanzoken technique to boost his speed, something he was convinced that he was far superior to his other two counterparts. M and Twelve punched at the after image that Thirteen had left behind, only to have their fists slide through the mist and connect with the others jaw.

They fall back down to the ground in a heap, as Thirteen smirked at them from above. When M and Twelve gathered themselves and looked back up into the sky to locate Thirteen, the redneck had his hands clenched at his hips, and the sky had turned from a blue to a dark purple. His clear aura exploded around him, causing the remaining clouds in the sky to swirl around in a typhoon. Lightning cracked once, only to be followed by two more strikes which came dangerously close to the other two androids. M jerked slightly, but Number Twelve remained calm.

“His power level has risen up to 197,000.”

XXIV. - The Transformation

General M gasped, but not from the fact that Thirteen was stronger than him. Rather, it was from the realization that the redneck was now crouching down in front of him, his fist already lodged into the General's abdomen. He stumbled backwards, his arms wrapping around himself to protect his stomach as he struggled for air. "But, but, I didn't even see you move! How can you be that fast?"

Thirteen smiled at the question, but it was short lived as he was slammed into the ground by a powerful punch by Twelve. Thirteen flipped backwards up to his feet and fell into his fighting position just as Twelve advanced once more, throwing punch after punch.

Moving his body back and forth, Thirteen dodged the punches until Twelve sent a crescent kick upwards, connecting it with the redneck's jaw. He drifted backwards, until M appeared on the scene once more, Power Flying head first into Thirteen's side.

He took the blow but then countered unexpectedly, sending his fist straight into the chest of M. Circuits exploded everywhere, and only more so when Thirteen ripped his hand back out and kicked M into the dirt. The General did not move.

Gripped in Thirteen's hand was a metal object, the size and shape of a grenade. He looked at it thoughtfully, before bursting out into gleeful laughter. Letting go of the object then, it floated in midair before fusing in with his chest, disappearing beneath his skin. Android Twelve watched thoughtfully, not betraying whatever emotions he was feeling, though Thirteen was sure his brother had begun to puzzle out what was going on.

Thirteen's aura exploded around him once more, only this time laced with black electricity. His muscles bulged, and his mullet stiffened into spikes. His thoughts were just as surprised as Twelve's face now, I transformed into my Semi-Perfect form without even activating the Avalanian Neural Chip. This must be it!

Looking deep into Twelve's eyes, he spoke, "Gero did leave me a present, Twelve. And the final step in my perfection now resides inside you. I can feel it just as I can feel the sun beating down on our bodies."

"I can feel it too, like a slight tug. I don't know how Gero did this... but your power is truly remarkable, Thirteen. Over 240,000. I was wrong about you," said Twelve.

General M had crawled back up to his knees behind Thirteen, leaking blood all over the place, and completely ignored by the other two fighters. "You bastard. This isn't the end of me."

And with a burst of power, he blasted off into the sky disappearing in a blink. Thirteen grimaced, he had to let him flee with all of his attention now focused on Twelve. And it was right that he did so.

"Number Thirteen, have no disillusions. I will fight you to the death, I understand the situation and I think you want to earn this."

Android Thirteen gave himself time to nod, before the two androids came together in a blur. Each blow dented a different part of Twelve, leaving purple looking bruises. The redneck's intensity grew with each strike, his breathing turned to pants, then to growls, then to complete screams. The moment he had been waiting for his entire life was only moments away.

Number Twelve made one last ditch effort, sending a punch at Thirteen's face, only to miss and overshoot. Time seemed to freeze as he realized the force of him punching had made him overstep Thirteen, and now he was vulnerable. All too vulnerable.

Thirteen was off to the side, his fist glowing with Ki and clenched by his hip. His bellow shook the Earth as he unleashed a Tsuihikidan, the blue blast consuming Twelve whole. Thirteen didn't even hear a whimper.

The charred remains of Twelve fell to the ground, the top half of his body completely missing. Glowing a bright green within the remains was another of those metal objects, as well as two more computer chips.

Thirteen's whisper was barely audible, "How sweet it is."

The three objects fused with his skin, the grenade looking object into his chest, and the computer chips inserting themselves at his temples. His laughter filled the surrounding area once again, his muscles bulging to incredible proportions that did not seem possible. He grew to an even taller height, as his skin turned a dark blue, and his hair stiffened further, so it stood straight up and was now orange.

His chest and shoulders were gray armor, while his eyes glowed a soft yellow. His laughter faded, and Thirteen stood alone, feeling nothing and everything at the same time.

"I am complete."
