The Codex was a remarkable piece of technological and engineering genius. It provided all comforts and needs for transporting a significant amount of warriors to a battlefield, though in this case, The Codex was currently transporting a few warriors at the invitation of Maverick himself. Oddly enough, Rubic and his fellow compatriots had decided to accept the invitation, more for Rubic to observe the powerful individuals participating in the grand MAGMA tournament than to indulge, as he was incapable of drinking or eating. Such things were an inefficient waste of his time, really, but the others aboard the ship were eager to visit the planet. Upon the ship, Rubic had gotten into the habit of monitoring the situation aboard the ship and the sector of space around it, always looking for signs of a threat or problem out in the galaxy. At the same time, the android made it a point to keep surveillance on the ship itself, observing the day to day musings and activities of those aboard as well as to monitor the ship’s status. Every little thing that could go wrong with a space faring vessel could very well end the lives of the almost two dozen crew members aboard, an outcome Rubic deemed as completely unacceptable within the parameters of his programming. Thankfully, if something were to go wrong with the ship that could not be easily repaired and was life threatening, there were enough escape pods in the vessel to allow everyone a one way ticket ride to the nearest planet that could support them. As it stood, though, everything was running smoothly and operationally. No need for panic or concern. Unfortunately, despite all that was going on, the journey there was becoming uneventful, with each warrior taking turns in the gravity simulation room, conducting exercises and scenarios within the holographic projection units within the Codex's belly. Each warrior had a way of passing the time, and they certainly indulged in the particular avenue of activities. Training, socializing, all that kind of thing. Of course, the main activity was all the gossip that seemed to go on, what with the crew being ninety percent female and the only men on the ship were combat personnel. It often had a strange effect on the organic females on the ship, especially those tending to Chishan as he recovered in the rejuvenation chamber installed in the ship’s medical ward. Still, Rubic continued to push his systems to their limits in training and tests of combat, looking to improve his skills and capabilities in combat through testing himself against various different scenarios and opponents. However, there was one particular individual that Rubic remembered not being able to defeat. The powerful alien, Tapion. Of course, the resemblance between Minosha and Tapion had been rather apparent, but Rubic did not feel the need to inquire if the two were related. Such questions were inefficient and unnecessary.

As such, the android withdrew his gem of telepathy and interfaced his consciousness with it, a strange 'ritual' of getting cybernetics to work with the spiritual realm, but like many things, surprises did happen. The result was Rubic arriving within the ethereal realm of the gem, the battlefield simulated by the whims, desires, and memories of those using it. They were on a moon orbiting a strange and foreign planet, yet oddly enough, one could still breathe on the surface of the moon. Perhaps it was merely the gem bending reality in order to compensate for the warriors participating in the fight, but Rubic did not know nor really cared how the gem worked. At any rate, he waited for his opponent to arrive, already prepared for the battle to take place. WC: 132 TWC: 617 |

Tapion walked briskly into his room upon the Selenis, closing and locking the door behind him. The situation had grown increasingly unstable on Earth and it was about time he left the little blue gem behind. Before that, though, he needed to take a moment to rest and regain his focus. He dropped his armor and weights, leaving them on the ground as he stood unclothed down to a simple pale tunic of spider silk. Reaching down, the ashen warrior made sure to place all his equipment away safely, leaving only his sword and gem out from the multitude of items he kept near himself. Finally, with a grateful sigh, he lowered himself onto his bed. Never before had the basic mattress felt so good, and he almost wanted to fall asleep right then and there. But, I still have things I must do. First, refocus, and that requires sparring of some kind, he thought, looking over at the bedside desk. Reaching, he grasped the scarlet stone upon it and concentrated his mind. Like every time before, he experienced that feeling of in and then up, releasing his consciousness into the Astral Realm. Immediately upon arrival, Tapion found himself stepping onto a moon orbiting a foreign planet, one that he could only vaguely recognize. Still, the view of it cresting the horizon of the moon was breathtaking, spreading its light over the grey surface and allowing his dark green eyes to see his opponent standing silhouetted. Walking forward, he still wore only his tunic, though the Z-Sword hung in its scabbard from a strap he held in his hand. "Rubic, was it?" he asked as he stepped within speaking range of the machine. He thought he had encountered the android before, but he could never really be sure with the sheer amount of powers in the galaxy. ------------------------------------------- Word Count: 311 Word of Tapion: 311 |

"Affirmative," Rubic responded to Tapion's inquiry when he arrived. The android did not seem to care--or possibly even notice--that Tapion was in a lesser state of dress than when they had first met, but Rubic turned to face the Konatsu anyway. "Unit Minosha has informed me of your relation to him," Rubic said, clearly lacking in social graces or skills to immediately touch upon the subject of family to someone that Rubic did not really know all that well. "This unit is curious why unit Minosha's eyes leak water when mention of you arises," Rubic asked, a feature he was quite curious about in organics, though to be perfectly honest, a simple conversation was not really why he was here at the moment. He was preparing to defend himself in the event Tapion was ready for a fight as well. As inefficient as it was to speak during combat, Rubic felt it necessary to procure the information that he requested. It was an older method, but it checked out. Rubic assumed a fighting stance as he prepared to listen to whatever explanation—or lack thereof—from the mighty warrior, Tapion. Even as Rubic spoke, he had been analyzing the Konatsu with his sensors, once again noticing that Rubic had only run into two of that particular organic strain. Only two. It was strange that Rubic had not met others on Earth or during their travels through space. Only two. Rubic logged the conundrum in his personal memory banks, wishing to inquire about that as well. There was much about this warrior that Rubic did not know, and in the name of science and progress, Rubic would find out as much as he could. The more information Rubic had, the more prepared he could be for future scenarios. Once again, it was perhaps rather strange that he had not met another Konatsu besides Tapion and Minosha, but regardless of that, Rubic was gaining valuable data on their physiology if he were to meet another one of their kind. Perhaps Minosha would show Rubic where the Konatsu home world was. That would certainly be quite the informative and educational ‘field trip’ as it were. Rubic did not know where it was or where it might be, but surely Minosha or Tapion knew of its location. But first, there was a fight to engage in. WC: 394 TWC: 1011 |

Tapion slowly began to strap the sword to his back after the android confirmed its identity. It was the usual position for the weapon, much like his first sword back on Konats. That had been the weapon he had forged with his own two hands, and he had broken it during the dark years. Suddenly, a few words came from the machine before him and he stopped upon the last buckle of his scabbard. After a short second, he continued, latching the blade to his back and looking up at Rubic with cold green eyes. Minosha certainly was meeting plenty of people. A moment passed before the ice melted from the ashen warrior's eyes and he let out a deep sigh. "I would think it is because of my actions towards him. It seems his tears have yet to dry and his heart has yet to harden," he stated. He stretched out a bit, feeling how the scabbard had been strapped and testing its stability, even though he knew centuries of experience had made it nigh impossible for him to mess it up. "But, that is for another time and place. The boy will learn, and the people he has around him will make sure his lessons do not turn him into a monster. So, let us begin and see if you should stand by him as well," Tapion stated, sliding easily into his favored stance for using the blade.

COMBAT SYSTEMS ACTIVE. FULL POWER DRAW. The moment Tapion took up his stance, Rubic charged towards the alien, the android’s massive fist cocked back for a brutal blow. Electricity flowed from his power systems into the artificial muscles and hydraulic assistants within the arm, ensuring power and speed. As soon as the android was upon the powerful warrior, Rubic lashed out towards Tapion, his fist attempting to slam his massive fist into the Konatsu’s chest. This blow was followed up, using the momentum of the previous, for a vicious spin kick to keep the alien on the defensive. Rubic needed to see how his improved systems and upgraded armor held up against Tapion’s combat skills, sensor data filling Rubic’s consciousness as he observed every muscle movement and energy spike throughout Tapion’s body. The more Rubic fought against and opponent, the more he learned from them… and Rubic had much to learn. WC: 151 TWC: 1162 |
