KING OF THE RING

Soon enough, the drones finished their work, leaving enough time for the radar to finish charging and reboot. The interface loaded, showing that Rubic did, indeed, possess five of the seven orbs, while the other two had been gathered into one place. According to his maps and positional data, it was an old, abandoned power plant, fed off of dysfunctional or damaged windmills. The place had been used as a relay station by the Steel Legion during the war, a place still unclaimed by most of the Earth-bound population and authorities, most likely, making it ideal for a technology cache or operating station. It was clear to Rubic now—they had been using that station as a base of operations during their search of the planet for the Dragon Balls. Indeed, it was out of the way, hidden, and ideal for their power needs, not to mention the structure was fairly defensible. As such, Rubic would have to assault the structure and retrieve the orbs from the opposition without delay—though in reckoning, bringing them the other five with him would probably be less than ideal. He could not leave them behind, however, on the chance that the remaining two androids would be working together and had a means of tracking Rubic in some fashion—either a radar of their own or some other method. Leaving them behind would just allow one of them the chance to retrieve the other five without a struggle while Rubic dealt with what was another obvious trap. Unfortunately, it was an obvious trap he would have to spring. He could not allow them to be in possession of the Dragon balls, not while their plan was still in motion. Faced with the conundrum, Rubic decided the Dragon Balls he had in his possession were safest where they were: inside his storage compartment. If need be, he could self-destruct and destroy whatever was inside his chassis to prevent their capture and use—though the droid had not yet found any evidence that they could, indeed, be destroyed. There was much about the spheres that were still left to nothing but conjecture and theory, enough to make most plans have an uncertain level of probability. There was nothing for it—he could not allow the impasse to sustain. Even without the Dragon Balls, the presence of a possible cache of weapons and technology would need to be eradicated, and any robotic threat on Earth would need to be removed—in a hostile fashion. However, before he could proceed further, one of the spider drones crawled up his arm and placed something within his hand. The drone then retreated with its counterpart into the depths of his frame, where they would wait for their next set of repair orders. The device was small, deceptively so, and judging by the scans Rubic was conducting, it was some form of transmitter. It had likely been placed upon him during one of his various scuffles, and judging by the relative preparedness of some of the droids, it was possible it had been placed there by either Cutman or Gutsman. So that was how they were able to anticipate his moves and even set a trap for him—they had been tracking him the whole time. This made Rubic consider the possibility of other means of tracking they might have in place—absconded satellites, surveillance drones, anything of that nature. Even having a Radar of their own would allow them to track him without problems. With that in mind, Rubic booted up his navigation systems once again, as well as his flight systems, and made his way towards the power relay station, a relatively short venture across the rolling plains and plateaus of the region. So far, the trip to the tundra regions had been successful in throwing the local authorities and patrols off of his trail, still having to search the area of Mount Frypan for any sign of his whereabouts—and as the sun set in the distance, the darkness would allow him to move with more impunity against interference. Indeed, he could see without lights, allowing him to travel in the darkness that soon befell the area, just as Rubic landed a short distance away from the relay station. In his reconnaissance position, he activated his myriad of sensors and scopes, immediately acquiring a lay out of the structure as well as any signatures within and without. So far, there were no signs of sentries or guards—whatever was occupying the position was still inside, likely trying to mask its presence akin to Bombman or Iceman. The station, for the most part, looked deserted, but once again, another look at the radar told Rubic that the orbs were stored inside of it, meaning it was another trap or simply being held underground, where his scopes currently could not pierce. With that, Rubic increased power to his combat systems and began to approach the facility. Slowly and securely, he would move forward, using various forms of cover to mask his approach—at least on a visual scale. There was no telling, again, what other methods they had of tracking Rubic and his motions. Eventually, Rubic closed in on the inner perimeter of the building, noticing metallic signatures within the ground—land mines, likely placed there by their team’s demolitions expert. However, the arrangement of the mines was too regular, too patterned. Between his ground scans and his computational capabilities, it was easy enough to navigate through the minefield without making much in the way of sounds, eventually seeing Rubic to one of the side doors of the building, blown open by either happenstance, weather, or war. Rubic looked inside, once again running his sensor suite on the interior for any new findings, but so far, there was no new information to add to his mental schematic of the building. Two hundred meters to the signature—and so far, no sign of the spheres either. Once again, slowly and surely, Rubic progressed, clearing each of the rooms for any sign of predator or combatant, unable to find either the Dragon balls or those that were guarding them. Room by room this search was conducted, but so far, nothing was discovered—until Rubic ventured into the capacitor room. Here, millions of volts were stored within massive batteries, drained and filled on a regular basis based on the power needs of the populace. Also, it was one of the most dangerous of areas—faulty capacitors could discharge their energy into whatever touched them, at seemingly random. Rubic pushed into the building, taking care around those with higher electromagnetic signatures—signifying their higher state of charge—before he noticed the pair of Dragon balls sitting upon a metal bench. Once again, clearly in sight and laid as bait. Rubic looked the room up and down, expecting to find some form of electrical trap or other method of damage—but so far, finding the enemy or their machinations eluded him. It appeared he would need to approach the center of the room in order to trigger whatever it was they had planned. The droid moved forward cautiously, his Mega Buster prepared to fire at an instant’s notice, but so far, nothing was triggered as he approached the last pair of orbs. Once he reached the bench, he examined it, looking underneath and around it to ensure its safety—and behold, it was rigged with a plethora of wiring. It looked like a single touch upon the metal would sending several million amps and volts through whoever completed the circuit—touching the metal bench—with their feet on a metal platform, likely connected to a grounding wire. Were Dragon Balls capable of conducting electricity? The sheer amount of power that was going to be pushed through onto the target made it rather likely. He would have to disconnect the circuit and other aspects of the trap in order to remove the Dragon Balls safely. Additionally, it was highly likely the trap was in-of-itself also trapped; a demolition charge or other form of explosive would go a long way towards preventing acquisition unhindered. He was not an effective bomb-disposal unit, but he would have to see where all the wires went in order to surmise an effective route towards victory. So he went to work, removing the various wires and the like from the bench, slowly working to ensure the wires he removed did not touch the others that were present, for fear of completing the circuit or causing any number of catastrophic scenarios. Their trap was indeed intricate—it looked like the work of both Bombman and another unit, though it was likely the second unit was not any of the ones he had faced before, unless they possessed talents that had not shown up in their respective conflicts. Unfortunately, just as Rubic was disabling the trap, he was forced to abandon the project, rolling away from it as a bolt of electricity snapped into his body, causing various systems to malfunction. His motion sensors had given the enemy away—just enough for Rubic to roll away without being a full victim of the attack or the trap that likely would have activated. The droid stood to his full height, looking up towards the newest threat that emerged—another android, standing upon one of the power pillars of the structure. It lashed out again with another arc of electricity, forcing Rubic to move with incredible haste—disappearing from where he stood and reappearing a few feet away, raising his Mega Buster. So this was the electrical expert—likely the one that came up with the ingenious trap in the first place, if his power was so unmatched by the others. But there were reports of seven androids on this planet—so where was the seventh? ANALYSIS COMPLETE. SYSTEM DESIGNATION: ELECMAN The battle began. Elecman launched out from where he was perched, hovering in the air as he rained down electrical death upon his enemy, forcing Rubic to roll this way and that in order to avoid the sparks and zaps of power. The environment around them snapped and popped with each burst of lightning from the android’s hands, scorching various towers and capacitors in the area, some forcibly exploding due to overloading. The smell of ozone and burnt rubber filled the air as the two fought, one unleashing electrical blasts as his primary attack, the other sheer bursts of plasma power. Another shock against Rubic’s systems caused more of his minor components to fry or malfunction, forcing his repair drones to try and manage the damage while Rubic was on the move. Rubic fired back with his Mega Buster, blasting into walls due to Elecman’s fast movements or smashing into a barrier of pure electricity. The odds definitely seemed against Rubic—even with his superior upgrades, they were no match against such raw power, one that bypassed his armor completely with a single jolt. WC: 1801 |
