KING OF THE RING

The battle that had ensued between the young Saiyan warrior and the powerful robotic war machine, Rubic, had taken its toll on the metallic warrior. What started off as a straight forward mission to ascertain the location and identity of the warrior—as well as incapacitate and detain him—turned into a brutal exchange of firepower and brute strength the likes of which tested Rubic’s full capabilities in every known regard. The battle was not like the one against the mighty warrior Broli, but rather, it had been one that Rubic had detected a fifty percent chance of victory and had pushed his body to its limits in order to achieve that accomplishment. However, the boy proved to be far, far more powerful than Rubic had been told, the Saiyan’s true power only revealed in the heat of combat. Once again, Rubic had come across a powerful entity known as a Super Saiyan. Even when utilizing his powerful array of weaponry, from the grenade launcher, to the energy blasts, defensive arrays, mortar strikes, laser ordnance, missiles, and even after the punishing assault from his newly upgraded cannon from Capsule Corporation, the boy still managed to survive and unleash a torrent of attacks in return. It was due to sheer luck that Rubic had not been destroyed—a fact that seemed very inefficient, mind you—and now, the massive metal behemoth lay in his repair and recharge station, his batteries slowly recharging and his missing armor plates, damaged components, missing limbs, and missing head casing were soon being repaired and replaced. The extensive damage done to his person were extreme, necessitating long hours of repair. Because of this, the massive carrier ship, the Codex, was required to leave the planet of Yaidrat and seek solitude and safety within the outer reaches of space. The Codex, after transmitting what had happened in the battlefield, were quickly sent new coordinates for their next destination: Avalon. The Avalonian government and its people were known in their wide and vast experience in synthetic life forms, specializing in their creation and upgrades. It was there that Rubic’s ship and crew were bound, on orders from the Earth Defense Forces, in order to seek more thorough repairs and upgrades. Apparently, the Avalonian government had been so impressed with Rubic’s skill and expertise that they offered to upgrade some of Rubic’s systems and capabilities with some strange “Next Generation” motive drives and processors. As such, even as Rubic underwent the long and arduous process of repairing his immediate battle damage in the event of an attack by pirates and other enemy units, the Codex made as much speed to Avalon as possible. One thing that did get accomplished before his brutal battle, however, was the powerful technique known as the Instant Transmission; Rubic had learned the technique the day before the battle, and while he could still technically utilize it to get his ship and crew there, it likely would have proved too taxing on his systems during repair procedures. As such, the crew worked their hardest to ensure their own safety and security due to the fact their primary warrior, Rubic, was currently ‘down and out.’ As such, the crew did what they could to keep the ship running, constantly working to ensure that the ship would not fall apart without Rubic’s constant vigilance over the ship’s systems and maintenance. One particular crewman, however, still managed to find some time for recreation, reading over some of the latest writings on Earth before writing up his own little response. Of course, Rubic knew of the document as it was transmitted to Earth, reading the document over to ensure there was no betrayal or information leak within the document, despite his rather inert state, dozens of repair drones crawling over his metallic body.
As quaint as the document was, Rubic allowed the message to be sent back to Earth, an organic’s folly attempt to appeal to his organic kin of the plights of military warriors, no doubt. Rubic felt nothing akin to what the writer was trying to accomplish, more so due to Rubic’s certainty that war was what he was designed for, and less because he was incapable of feeling emotions. Such tugs at a person’s heart were ineffective against a man made of metal and wires. As the ship continued at best speed towards the planet of Avalon, which was only just a little closer to the Codex than Earth was, but due to the nature of Rubic’s damage and the nature of the upgrade, they had been directed to Avalon as soon as possible. Of course, by that statement, one would be tempted to try and cut through Planet Trade Organization and Saiyan Empire space, but that was likely a route that would lead to nothing but disaster. As such, the Codex made it a point of skirting around such territory, attempting to elude patrols from either government in order to avoid any incidents. Even after eight hours of fast travel, they had not been confronted and pursued by any patrols, but Rubic’s status was still listed as ‘unavailable’ to the ship’s computers. Even during that time, Rubic’s arms and head had been replaced and repaired, but with so much internal damage to his systems and so many armor plates needing to be replaced, the robot was still in no shape for any hard or difficult engagements yet. His personal power supply had been drained so low in the previous fight that, even after eight hours, his personal reserves of energy had only just reached a fifteen and a half percent charge. His back up batteries were being charged in a separate charging unit, but since the ship required so much power to push itself so quickly, only so much could be tapped for Rubic’s recharge cycle. Even then, however, Rubic was still conscious to try and digest and analyze the combat data he had gained from the brutal fight between himself and the nameless Saiyan youth that he had fought against.
Anything and everything about the battle was being analyzed and studied, down to every single small movement of the boy to the reactions the opposition had to Rubic’s attacks. At every moment, Rubic reviewed what the power level reading had been on the boy when every situation happened, how his power level had ebbed, flowed, and spiked with each particular activity, defensive maneuver, or offensive backlash. The more Rubic studied how the boy fought, the more prepared Rubic would be when their inevitable ‘rematch’ would occur. The more and more he studied, the better Rubic would be at combating this singular threat to Earth’s security and stability. If that Saiyan warrior was allowed to go back to Earth, there was no telling how much damage he would likely cause… What was for certain, however, was Rubic needed repairs and upgrades from Avalon, that much was known. Oddly enough, the convenient timing of the Avalonian government proved to be more than just coincidence in Rubic’s mind. Perhaps the Earth Defense Forces had spoken to Avalon before about refitting Rubic’s chassis with new abilities and upgrades, and while the android was not averse to improving his efficiency in combat, he was still as close to suspicious about their motives that an emotionless robot could be. The Avalon Protectorate did, indeed, protect Earth from the worst that the wild galaxy had to offer, but such a large and advanced civilization likely had their own motives for upgrading Rubic’s systems. Rubic would just have to figure out what that motive was. Rubic re-analyzed the orders coming in from the Earth Defense Forces for further data… INCOMING TRANSMISSION… RBC-411, THIS IS CENTRAL COMMAND OF EARTH DEFENSE FORCES HEADQUARTERS. DUE TO THE NATURE OF YOUR DAMAGE, YOU ARE BEING SENT TO THE PLANET OF AVALON, WHERE THE AVALON PROTECTORATE WILL BE TAKING OVER REPAIRS OF YOUR SYSTEMS AND EXTERNAL ARMOR. AS YOU KNOW, THE REPAIR FACILITIES AND FUNCTIONS ABOARD THE CODEX ARE NOT AS EFFICIENT OR EFFECTIVE AS THE FACILITIES ON EARTH OR AVALON, AND AS SUCH, WE ARE REQUIRING YOU TO SEEK FURTHER REPAIRS ON THE PLANET AVALON. THE GOVERNMENT THERE HAS ALSO OFFERED TO UPGRADE YOUR SYSTEMS, A GESTURE THAT WE APPRECIATE. SEEK OUT THESE UPGRADES. EXECUTE. With that message, Rubic closed the communication window and concentrated further on analyzing the combat data received in the engagement.
The young Saiyan’s capabilities were interesting and powerful, to be certain. Much like the synthetic battle maiden, Aria, he possessed abilities that were not typical with normal combat personnel, seeking to impede and hamper the forward and offensive momentum of their opponents. While Rubic utilized harsh brutality and powerful attacks, Aria utilized guile and subterfuge to accomplish her objectives, and while Rubic was not designed for such things, he could at least acknowledge the effectiveness of her combat prowess, as inefficient as it was. Having pain sensors and the like on her body, regardless of what other functions she might have, were inefficient and impractical design aspects of her person. In retrospect, it was possible that she had been given a combat suite only for self defense and had been designed, instead, for possibly more recreational purposes. There was no question that ‘pleasure’ androids existed, who’s sole function was to please their owners and masters in many aspects, not the least of which was through sexual interactions. Perhaps that was Aria’s purpose, but if that was the case, why did she participate in the MAGMA tournament? Conundrums abound, it seemed, with that particular unit. Rubic would have to do more investigation into her design and origins in order to ascertain what her true purpose was. For now, however, Rubic continued to process data as the various repair arms worked on his body, bringing systems down and back up as needed during the repair process. Armor plating always came last in the repair cycle, as the environmental seal for the armor was a particularly complex task in order to ensure Rubic’s internal systems would not be compromised by outside dust and debris, an aspect that had taken its toll along with the sheer power of the Saiyan warrior. As the Codex finally arrived at Avalon, greeted by Avalonian authorities, Rubic submitted to their best judgement in terms of his upgrades. It was time to see just how potent they were in the field of robotics. WC: 3830 |
