Hello, readers. This story is of the cool new hero "SpyBorg VS", and how he got to be as he is. SpyBorg wasn't always that lovable robot that we all enjoy. In fact, Chapter 1 may surprise you! SpyBorg is a variation of CAPCOM's "Megaman X", so please give credit for SpyBorg to CAPCOM. After all, I couldn't have thought up this awesome hero without them! Now, continue to read on...

Chapter 1: Havoc... Pure Havoc
UltraBot City... Our story takes place in that metropolise, but unlike other huge cities, UltraBot City is in constant peril. Mothers won't let their children outside alone, even though they're 16 years old, PaperBoys are scared half to death every time they run their route, even police officers are cautious just turning the corner.... For they do not know... when they will strike again. Who is "They"? Anyone who lives in UltraBot City can tell you. The "MECHS" are the terrorizers. Who are the MECHS? They are the mechanical group of destroyers created by someone whose name is Maverick. No one has seen Maverick, nor have they heard his voice, but they know that he is deadly. Perhaps more deadly than his top MECH. Who are his Mechs? Let me give a short description by what we know of so far:

Insectoid: A Human-like robot with the ability to create two more sets of arms! - When he uses his swords, six arms are to be very much afraid of!

Ninjai: Another Human-like robot with a major attitude. He is built for speed. Super Speed. If that wasn't enough, he can also create clones of himself in battle! He's hard to handle!

Chameleon: A Lizard-like Robot that can cloak himself to seemingly become invisible. He has also a wrecking-ball-like tounge that can really cause damage to buildings.

Arachnoid: A monstrous Spider-like robot who is, perhaps, the most cunning of the MECHS group. His eight legs can act as cutting knives, his fangs are like hydrolic claws, and his webbing is like a steel net! He can create little spiders from his abdoman. These spiders can be from spy cameras to timed bombs! He does not show up often, but when he does, tramendous tibulations occur...

Assassin01: The most feared MECH of all, is Assassin01. Assassin01 is mean, cruel, cold-hearted, highly destructive, and knows no guilt. He's even feared by the other MECHS. Assassin01 is somewhat human-like, but his right lower arm is a cannon, his feet have rockets in them, and he has a Beam-sword. He can also go inside computers, and take control over them! He's Maverick's favorite.

The City is being over-run by these criminal robots. No one knows how to stop them. No one, that is... except Prof. Comm Pewter Wiz. Yes, it's this man who shall bring a strike of hope into the worried hearts of the people in UltraBot City. But he himself is not the hero of this story, no, but actually, one of the horrid MECHS shall star in this quest to destory Maverick! Prof. Comm tried six time to stop the maniac MECHS, but all six attempts have failed. But this time, luck will be on his side...



Chapter 2: An Attempted Liberation
Now we meet Prof. Comm and his lovely assisstant Lee Ving, putting together their seventh trial robot, who shall save the City from these diobolical MECHS. We can now hear their conversation as they create their newest mechanical rescuer...
"Screwdriver..." Prof. Comm says, like a doctor.
"Screwdriver," Lee confirms orders, and gives him the screwdriver.
"Wirecutters..." Prof. Comm says with his hand out.
"Wirecutters," Lee confirms.
"Plyers..."
"Plyers,"
"Sandwich..."
"Sandwich?"
"Yes, I'm hungry, and I need a sandwich."
"Fine. I'll be back..." Lee leaves the room.
"You'll be done in just a minute, my friend. Just one more twist of this screwdriver, now..." Prof. Comm finishes the robot with a big smile. "Aaaahhh! At last! It is finished!"
Lee runs into the room, hearing that, but she gets excited, and drops the plate with the sandwich. She smiles and puts her hands on her cheeks in surprise, saying, "Wow! We did it! Now we need a test run!....oh... I'm sorry about your sandwich, Prof. ..."
"Never you mind, Lee! We have another step to acomplish! I shall, now, press the activation button, and this will tell us whether it works, or not," Prof. Comm replies. He presses the button which will activate the robot, and............... IT LIVES!! Prof. Comm and Lee jump with joy.
"I am RESCUE7. I serve the people of UltraBot City," the robot says in the typical robotic voice, as it sits up. "How may I serve you?"
"RESCUE7, we need you to immobilize a nasty group of robots called the MECHS," Prof. Comm instructs. "Can you do it?"
"I am designed to do as my master wishes," RESCUE7 responds. "Where is the MECHS' base located?"
"That, we don't know. But you can defeat the 5 MECHS that terrorize our city, right?" Lee asks.
"I shall do my best," RESCUE7 confirms. He climbs off the table, which he was sitting on, and begins to walk outside. It was that time when the T.V. nearby reports that Assassin01 has begun another reign of terror on the western side of UltraBot City - The location where Prof. Comm's Lab is!
"This is your big chance, RESCUE7! The worst of the 5 MECHS, Assassin01, is close by! If you can take him on, you can take on any of the other MECHS! Go for it!" Prof. Comm encourages. But, RESCUE7 isn't encouraged by the words, for as a normal robot, it doesn't understand.

It wasn't long before RESCUE7 finds Assassin01 when he finally exited the Laboratory... or more like, Assassin01 finds RESCUE7. Assassin01 smiles an evil grin. He thought this was one of the other foolish attempts to oppose him.
"I am RESCUE7. I have come to liberate UltraBot City from the likes of you, evil doer," RESCUE7 declares.
"Heh...heh...heh..." Assassin01 smirks, jokingly. "How many times have I heard that? Six is it? Now Seven. This is getting pretty old..." Unlike RESCUE7, Assassin01 has a lot more of a human mind, as do the other MECHS. He doesn't feel threatened by RESCUE7, but he knows a battle will ensue.
"You are under arrest. Surrender, and you will not get destroyed," RESCUE7 warns.
"Don't make me laugh!" Assassin01 jokes. "Don't make me mad either. You're lookin' for trouble, eh, RESCUE7? Well, you've found it! My name is trouble, and you're in for a real whippin'! Let's rumble!"
"Your name is not 'trouble', your name is 'Assassin01'. If you wish to fight, then let it be so. Prepare to lose, MECH pawn!" RESCUE7 taunts.
"I... don't... lose!" Assassin01 states.


Chapter 3: Assassin01 vs. RESCUE7
As simple as a few words of competitiveship, a battle begins right in front of the Lab! Assassin01 waits for RESCUE7 to make the first move. RESCUE7 brings out his 2 lazer guns. Assassin01 smirks again, saying, "Ho ho! So we're using blaster-fire, are we?" He transforms his right lower arm into his well-known arm buster cannon. Assassin01 fires the first shot, and hit RESCUE7 right where the heart would be! - but RESCUE7's armor holds out.
"So, you're better protected, huh? Try THIS!" Assassin01 taunts as he fires a charged lazer blast - but RESCUE7 dodges the powerful blow. RESCUE7 fires his guns at Assassin01, but he turns around, and deflects the blasts with his long blonde hair. While he was spinning, RESCUE7 fires at Assassin01's legs, hits, throwing off his balance, and causing Assassin01 to fall. He gets back up, grabs RESCUE7, jumps high into the air, and slams him onto the ground - hard. RESCUE7 is still intact! He grabs Assassin01's hair, and flips him over! Annoyed now, Assassin01 uses his arm buster to blast RESCUE7's face. It knocks him down, but not much real damage was caused. Assassin01 takes this opertunity, though, to blast, and explode one of RESCUE7's guns! RESCUE7 kicks Assassin01 in the head, and flips to get himself back on his feet. He tackles Assassin01, and holds his one gun in Assassin01's face.
"Surrender, or die," RESCUE7 orders.
"Fat chance!" Assassin01 replies. Then he lifts his legs, pins RESCUE7, and throws him into a tree. Then, Assassin01 gets another evil grin. A blinding flash occurs Assassin01 is gone, and RESCUE7 starts beating up himself! Assassin01 has taken control of RESCUE7! It wasn't long before he suddenly announces that the Self-Destruct sequence has begun. 10... 9... 8... Another blinding flash occurs, and Assassin01 is there.
"Ha ha ha!! Another one of your stupid creations bites the dust already! How pathetic do you have to be to last that short in battle? Ha ha ha!" Assassin01 teases evilly. Suddenly, coming back to his sences, but still getting ready to self-destruct, RESCUE7 leaps onto Assassin01, and holds tight. "Aaagh!!" Assassin01 yells in surprise. "You! Get off me!!"
"I am willing to destroy myself, as long as justice is surved!" RESCUE7 states. 2... 1... 0...

KA-BOOOOOOMMM!!

Chapter 4: Celebration for Liberation
The explosion completely demolished RESCUE7, but in the wreckage, they see an almost fully intact, yet immobilized, Assassin01. Assassin01 is dead. The explosion has caused some internal explosions in him. Lee was excited! She didn't know that UltraBot City would ever see the day that the roughest of the MECHS would be destroyed. Comm, on the other hand, isn't as excited. He's a little disappointed that one of the most sophisticated robots was to die, and not be reformed. But that doesn't stop him, oh no! - He sees this as an opportunity to create a new robot - more advanced than RESCUE7 - on their side. He'll have to take apart Assassin01, but this was the time all of UltraBot City is looking for!
"Come, Lee. We have work to do," Prof. Comm says plainly.
"Work?! NOW?! We have to at LEAST go out for Pizza to celebrate the destruction of one of those terrible MECHS!" Lee retorts.
"But we have a big future ahead of us! It will not be complete until we get this work done!"
"Can't we please go for pizza? You know we can't have it delivered - no pizzaman is willing to go out on a thundering day like this... especially when the MECHS are on the run..." Lee sighs.
"Fine, then. We shall have some pizza, but then we get to work, okay? My idea has to become reality!" Prof. Comm agrees.
They climb into Prof. Comm's old 1985 cadillac, and drive to the Pizza-Rama for a Mondo Pepperoni-Stuffed Crust Craver Combo. The cashier, Greg, has a strange look on his face. He doesn't know why Lee and Comm are so happy.
"I assume you guys have had a lovely day, huh? Well, I guess you didn't hear that Assassin01 is in the area!" Greg snorts.
"We knew that, and we solved the problem. Assassin01 is no more! We're here to celebrate," Lee reports.
"WHAT?! Assassin01 gone?! How'd you manage that?? The robot you used is a hero! Where is it?" Greg asks excitedly.
"Unfortunately, RESCUE7 is gone, along with Assassin01," Comm sighs.
"Well, you still got your necks - That's something to be cheerful about! Why the long face?"
"He's disappointed that a robot of Assassin01's stature is destroyed. He thought Assassin01 could be a great help. But he's got an idea, and something tells me we have months of work ahead," Lee says.
"Well, because of you guys, the nastiest MECH is gone, so the Mondo Pepperoni-Stuffed Crust Craver Combo is on the house! I'll be back with your Pizza!" Greg goes to the back room. Shortly, surprised voices are heard from the chefs. Cheering is heard, and Greg returns, but not with the Pizza. "My fellow workers are astounded by your achievement! They're working faster, so you'll get your pizza sooner! Ha ha! This is great! 1 down, 4 to go - AT LAST!"


Chapter 5: A Hero is Born
The cadillac drives back to the Lab, after a day of victory. Prof. Comm has something big planned. Lee is very curious, but says nothing while on the road. They finally arrive back to the Laboratory. At this point, Lee can't hold it in any longer.
"So, what's this idea you have that has to become reality?" Lee asks with a smile.
"I was wondering when you were going to bring that up," Prof. Comm smirks back. "Before I can tell you, help me get Assassin01's remains into the room, where we made RESCUE7. I will try to carry what is left of RESCUE7 into that room."
"You're not just making a hodge-podge of a construction unit like you did last time we gathered part, are you?" Lee raises one eyebrow.
"No, no. This robot isn't for construction, but for fighting. This will be an advanced robot that will surpass RESCUE7 completely. I'm going to use a lot of Assassin01's parts. The remains of RESCUE7 can only be good for melting down, and making new pieces. Now, let us get as much metal as we can into ER1(Experiment Room 1)..."
Prof. Comm and Lee spend about an hour carrying all the parts into ER1. Now, it is time for Prof. Comm to get creative...

Much time has now passed. Four months to be exact. Prof. Comm and Lee have been working all day, everyday. But now, Comm is putting the finishing touches on his new creation. We seem to have hit an old senario...
"Screwdriver..." Prof. Comm says, like a doctor.
"Screwdriver," Lee confirms orders, and gives him the screwdriver.
"Wirecutters..." Prof. Comm says with his hand out.
"Wirecutters," Lee confirms.
"Plyers..."
"Plyers,"
"Sandwich..."
"Sandwich?"
"Yes, I'm hungry, and I need a sandwich."
"Fine. I'll be back..." Lee leaves the room.
"You'll be done in just a minute, my friend. Just one more twist of this screwdriver, now..." Prof. Comm finishes the robot with a big smile. "Aaaahhh! At last! It is finished!"
Hearing that, Lee runs back into the room, but this time, manages to hold onto the plate. She puts it down quickly onto the table, and clasps her hands over her cheeks in excitement.
"Wow! Really? Now we need a test run!.... Whoa... dejavu!"
"Yes, it does seem familiar, doesn't it?" Comm jokes. "Let us see if it will run..."
The machine that is hooked up to the new robot is like a key in the ignition - it tries to start the robot, but fails. It tries again, but fails again. It tries a third time, but alas it fails the third time.
"Maybe there is something wrong with the starter?" Lee suggests.
"Perhaps..." Comm sighs. He begins to check what might be wrong. After a good hour or so of looking, Comm finds an odd salution. "I think there may be something wrong with the robot. But first, I'll try again..." He uses the starter again, but fails once more. "This is really strange..."
"I'm not sure if it'll work anymore," Lee confesses.
"Don't you worry, Lee. I'll make it run!" Prof. Comm insists.
"Are you sure?"
"The safety of our city depends on it! It has to work!! I'm not putting this project down even to the day I die! Get me that wrench!" Comm cracks.
Lee immediately gives the wrench to him. With much fustration, and hard work, Prof. Comm tightens things, lossens things, and is making a racket. Once Prof. Comm is done wrenching, he switches to other tools. He is going to even use Duct Tape, but Lee stops him, saying that it isn't necessary to use his special tool in this particular situation. But, at last... it is time to give it another test to see if it will run. The starter machine's yellow lights flash on. It makes many clicking sounds. A motor is heard, reving up. The starter vibrates as the clicks and flashing of lights occur for about a half hour. Lee's eyes widen in hope. Prof. Comm clasps his hands together. The starter's lights turn from yellow to green. Lee puts her hands over her mouth. Prof. Comm stares at the starter seriously. Just as abruptly as it starts, the machine stops. A little orange light blinks on and off, telling Prof. Comm that it is done.
"Did...did it work?" Lee asks in a quiet voice.
"I...I think...so..." Comm answers uneasily. He walks to his new robot, but it doesn't move. Comm hangs his head in disappointment. He turns to Lee, and shakes his head slowly.
"Why don't you think it's working?" Lee asks softly.
"I don't know... I just don't know...." Comm sighs again.
"What don't you know?" a voice from behind asks. Comm and Lee both turn around quickly to see the new robot... sitting up! His bright green, excited, beaming eyes look right at Prof. Comm. His kind, honest, yet strong face really gives character to the robot. His new shiny sapphire armor can present its strength and endurance just by its appearance. His powerful legs are built for speed and standing his ground. The robot's over all appearance is strong and impressive. Right away, he's full of energy and ready for almost anything.
"He lives!! He LIVES!!" Prof. Comm and Lee shout together in excitement and joy. They dance with each other a little. The robot, on the other hand, is confused.
"Where am I?... Who are you?... And... who am I?" He asks in wonder.
"I am Prof. Comm Pewter Wiz. This is my assisstant, Lee Ving." Prof. Comm starts. "You are in the ER1 of Wiz Labs. I made you as you are now. Lee helped along with me..."
"So did that Mondo Pepperoni-Stuffed Crust Craver Combo pizza," Lee interupts.
"Thank you, Lee..." Prof. Comm rolls his eyes.
"Thank you for the information, but I still have not been identified," The robot responds.
"I think we should have thought a name for him BEFORE he woke up..." Lee whispers to the Prof..
"Yes, yes, I know. Well, what can we say to him?" Comm whispers back.
"What CAN we tell this cyborg?" Lee whispers again.
"He's not a cyborg, he's a complete robot..." Comm begins to lose his temper.
"What can he do?"
"He can transport inside of computers just like Assassin01 could... That could make him a great spy... Say! I've got it!"Comm turns to the Robot on the counter. "You want to know your name?... You shall be identified as SpyBorg!"
"SpyBorg? Ha ha! I like that," SpyBorg says with a smile.


Chapter 6: Some Information
"Professor! I must ask you some questions about our success!" Lee states happily. She pulls out a hand-held tape recorder out of her lab coat pocket.
"Sure! What would you like to know?" Prof. Comm asks with a large grin.
"Unlike RESCUE7, SpyBorg seems to have a more human-like face and mind. How did you accomplish that?" Lee questions.
"Well, as you know, I used parts from both Assassin01 and RESCUE7 to make him. SpyBorg's 'essence', so to speak, is really from Assassin01 - "
"But SpyBorg isn't a jerk. How did you fix that?" Lee interupts.
"You see, I had all the tools I needed, and then I had the component nessessary to do this. The component I mentioned is the part that gives the robot it's in its own personality, voice, memory, and even will power. All I had to do was tweak the programming. But doing so, I erased a lot of his memories in the process. We may have to re-introduce him to UltraBot City, and the other MECHS. I was hoping to leave some of his memory in so that he could strike them in their weakest spots first time through, but unfortunately I was not able to accomplish that. Even so, he is more efficient than both REASCUE7 and Assassin01, for his weapon is greater in power," Comm responds.
"What parts of RESCUE7 did you use? He was blown to bits," Lee continues.
"Mainly the armor that was left. I melted it down along with Assassin01's armor and used them to create SpyBorg's body. Oddly enough, the mixed colors were more of a black color. However, I coated it with a water-resistant metalic blue substance that's similar to paint, but lasts longer. Plus it won't chip off, unless you use a welder on it..."
"As I say, it's best to recycle!" Lee cooes.
"Especially when you're short on cash..." Comm smirks.
"You mentioned a weapon earlier, Professor. What is SpyBorg's weapon?"
"Similar to that of Assassin01, SpyBorg has an arm buster that is capable of holding up to eight different settings. I have given him only one setting for now. As he learns and improves his fighting abilities, I shall give him more. Right now, I'm not sure he's ready."
"Good call, Professor," Lee smiles again. "Until next time, this is Lee. Out." She turns off the tape recorder. However, she's not the only one who recorded the interview...
Who is Assassin01? Sounds like one mean person... SpyBorg thinks.


Chapter 7: First Day on the Job
Well, now - It is time for SpyBorg to go outside the Lab for the first time. SpyBorg is very excited. Even though he's very capable of handling himself, Prof. Comm felt it necessary to go with him. After all, SpyBorg may not know the way back.... Lee stays behind to watch over the Lab. SpyBorg and Comm walk around on the sidewalks. But, like most people, SpyBorg needs to start a conversation.
"This is great, isn't it? Lovely breeze, people happy... but why is everyone staring at me?" SpyBorg asks.
"They are not used to you, SpyBorg. They don't know that robots like you are friendly," Comm answers.
"What do you mean? No one has ever seen a robot like me before?" SpyBorg questions.
"No, they have. Only, those robots are evil. They plunder, destroy buildings, and some have even killed people. They are highly horrible," Comm informs.
"Oh, my!" SpyBorg gasps.
"Yes, it is terrible... this is why you have been made. SpyBorg, your known purpose is to stop these robots. They are called the 'MECHS'. Anyone working for the MECHS are evil to UltraBot City. I know you have what it takes to defeat them. Try your hardest, and you may even destroy them!" Comm insists.
They pass the Pizza Rama, where Greg was just switching the "Closed" sign for the "Open" sign. He noticed SpyBorg with the Professor. He figured SpyBorg was one of Comm's creations, because it wasn't trying to hurt him.
"Hey! Professor! Who's your new buddy?" Greg calls.
"This is SpyBorg. He is my latest achievement! SpyBorg, come over here a minute!... Greg, this is SpyBorg. SpyBorg, meet Greg."
"Nice to meet you," Greg shakes hands with SpyBorg.
"The pleasure is mine!" SpyBorg smiles.
"Well, SpyBorg, anytime you want a pizza, always come to the Pizza Rama! We'll be glad to have you over," Greg invites.
"Don't go overboard trying to make business, Greg. SpyBorg doesn't need to eat," Comm rolls his eyes at Greg's attempt. "...and he doesn't need to drink either. Unless you count the special fuel he can take in to last longer in battle... But it's not soda, so don't get your hopes too high."
"Either way, I'd like to see him more often," Greg sighs.
"If a MECH tries to destroy your resturant, then you will," Comm replies.
"Prof., can you show me what these 'MECHS' look like?" SpyBorg asks.
"You mean you're sending this guy on a mission without giving him some details? Not even basics?" Greg asks concerned.
"We were walking around, and we weren't even thinking about his job. SpyBorg, I'm sure we'll find a MECH soon enough... I have an idea on where we can find out where one is... Come with me..." Comm leads SpyBorg to a store with many TVs in the main window. They were all playing the same thing - the News. They stand staring at the multiple screens for about a half hour. Eventually, SpyBorg gets sick of just standing around.
"What are we doing?" SpyBorg wonders.
"We're waiting for the newest brodcast. We'll find the MECHS soon enough," Comm instructs.
"But we're not doing anything..." SpyBorg delcares, confused.
"Television is a good way to find out information that we wouldn't know otherwise. We are collecting data," Comm replies.
"Well... I... eh.... *sigh*..." SpyBorg grunts. Having nothing to say or do, he watches the TVs with his arms folded across his chest. They wait for about ten minutes to get some information (the news reporter was about to talk to the Deputy Mayor), but SpyBorg and Comm are completely surprised by the TVs blacking out instead.
"The the heck just happened?" Comm asks in surprise.
"Apparently those screens need to recharge," SpyBorg says, thinking as a robot would.
"SpyBorg, for a Television, this is not normal. Something caused this black out," Comm states seriously.
"Perhaps this is what we've been waiting here for? You said that we would find out where the MECHS are if we stood here, and I think we did," Spyborg smirks.
"Just not the way I had in mind..." Comm sighs. "Apparently, a MECH is at the Channel-7 News Broadcast building..."
"Well, what are we waiting for? Lets stop the MECH," SpyBorg smiles with excitement.


Chapter 8: A Hidden Nemisis
Luckily for SpyBorg, the Channel-7 News Broadcast building wasn't too far. Unfortunately for the Professor for the same reason. SpyBorg has much enthusiasum in meeting up with his first MECH, but Comm isn't as happy. SpyBorg feels like he can take on anything, but Comm thinks the MECH feels that way too. They arrive at the Channel-7 News Broadcast building to find that all the lights are shut off. SpyBorg opens the main door. He walks around the main lobby, and Comm grabs SpyBorg's arm to get his attention. Comm looks at SpyBorg right in the eyes.
"SpyBorg, it really is hard to see in here... a MECH could spring out from anywhere... Be careful," Comm cautions.
"Right. I'll have to be as quiet as I can. It'll hard though, for I seem to clank a bit when I walk on this type of floor..." SpyBorg says looking at his feet.
"Just watch your step - and your back - and you should be fine. This place isn't rigged with trap doors or anything. Someone would probably sue them if it did," Comm jokes.
SpyBorg and Comm walk through different hallways, checking different rooms, riviving people so they could leave before a fight began, they even checked the bathrooms - who knows? Someone could be hiding in there. They seemingly check the whole building, but they don't find any MECHs. Comm suggested that they split up and look seperately to cover more ground, but SpyBorg wasn't going to risk the Professor being alone if he did find the menace. As they continue to search for the final time, they come across someone Comm wouldn't expect to meet in a million years - the Deputy Mayor! She was in the janitor's closet, trying to hide from the MECH who attacked Channel-7 News. She was very scared... and who wouldn't be if you were suddenly assaulted by a robot about as tall as you are?
"Oh, no!! Keep back you! Or I'll blast your head off with this!" the Deputy Mayor threats them with nothing more than a mop. Then she opened her eyes. "oh... hello... sorry... I thought the robot was coming back for me... Luckily he didn't. Who are you? And who's your robotic friend? His face sort of reminds me of.... him..."
"I am Prof. Comm Pewter Wiz. This is my latest and greatest creation, SpyBorg! SpyBorg, shake hands with the honourable Deputy Mayor. And about... him... Assassin01 is no longer opperational. I can assure you."
"Nice to meet you, Deputy Mayor!" SpyBorg says happily as he shakes hands with her.
"Please, call me Lynda.... Wow, SpyBorg, you really have a good grip..." Lynda remarks, rubbing her hand. "Assassin01's no longer around? What happened?"
"It is a long story. Come, Miss Lynda, SpyBorg. We must continue our search," Comm instructs.
"Huh? 'Our search' for what?" Lynda tilts her head in wonder.
"The trouble-maker here. If it's still here," SpyBorg replies calmly.
"You mean you're after THAT?! Count me out! I'm out of here!" Lynda gasps in horror as she tries to leave. SpyBorg grabs her arm. With his strength, she's not going anywhere.
"If you wonder off by yourself, you're more likely to be in serious trouble, rather than being with two more people to help protect you. It's safer with us," SpyBorg says. "What would happen if you tried to run, but fell into the hands of this enemy alone? Please. You must stay with the Prof. and me. It'll be better for your health."
Lynda nods. She helps them search, even though she's frightened. They search for anyone else whom may be trapped and could be rescued. Finding no one else, so they decide to leave and search on the outside areas. As SpyBorg, Comm and Lynda are about to open the main lobby doors to go, they hear a voice coming from nowhere... or so it seems.
"Leaving? So soon? But the party hasn't started yet!" the voice taunts. Comm tries to push open the doors, then tries to pull, but nothing works - the doors are now locked. Lynda gasps. The voice speaks again saying, "You probably have heard about places that don't let people in once the show has started? Well, I don't let anyone out either." A loud smash is heard, and a small dent appears on the floor. Slowly, a figure uncloaks itself to reveal a lizard-like robot, standing on its hind legs. This is who caused the black out - Chameleon. Chameleon's eyes miss nothing. His tail is versatile and strong. The spines on his back look frightening and harmful. His hands have retractible claws on them to cling to pipes, or soft walls. He looks at SpyBorg and says, "Hmm. Well, well, well! Whom do we have here? You look so different from the other robots I've seen, yet... somehow familiar..."
"We've never met before. You're confusing me with someone else," SpyBorg asures.
"Maybe you're right,"
"Are you the MECH that caused this trouble?" SpyBorg asks, preparing his arm buster.
"So what if I am? What are you going to do about it?" Chameleon tilts his head.
"As the newest protector of Ultrabot City, it is my duty to stop your reign of terror!" SpyBorg insists.


Chapter 9: SpyBorg vs. Chameleon
"Ho ho! Someone thinks they're all Mister Big, Tough Guy! If that's how you feel, 'Mr. Hero', then bring it on! Come on, I dare you!" Chameleon picks fun at SpyBorg's words.
"You know, we don't have to do this," SpyBorg comments.
"I know," Chameleon says plainly.
"You could surrender, and you won't have to get damaged," SpyBorg says kindly.
"Yes, I could."
"That's sounds like a better deal if you ask me."
"Well, I'm not asking you, am I?" Chameleon shoots a glare.
"You're going to resist me anyway, aren't you?" SpyBorg frowns.
"Of course! You think I'd be stupid enough to hand myself over? You're nuts! But I must ask..." Chameleon sneers.
"Yes? What?" SpyBorg listens.
"Any last words? Heh heh heh."
"I'll save those for when the time comes," SpyBorg smirks. "Thanks for asking, anyway."
"Well, I have another thing to ask," Chameleon folds his arms.
"And that would be?" SpyBorg asks.
"Can you fight what you cannot see?" Chameleon smiles. Chameleon slowly vanishes, giving a loud, shrill, evil cackle. The battle has begun. SpyBorg looks where Chameleon had dissappeared in wonder. He knows that he doesn't have radar, so finding Chameleon was going to be a challenge all on its own. SpyBorg begins to look around the room aimlessly. He couldn't detect anything there by sight. Suddenly, Chameleon appears quickly next to SpyBorg, picks him up, and throws him across the room. SpyBorg creates a dent in the floor where he crashes. Chameleon laughs, then cloaks again. SpyBorg gets up and gets his Arm Buster ready. Chameleon appears quickly again, but clinging to a wall. He launches out a heavy ball on a chain from his mouth. It hits SpyBorg in stomach, knocks him down, and comes reeling into Chameleon's mouth again. SpyBorg is still on the ground, but fires a Photon Blast into Chameleon's mouth as he reels in the wrecking ball. It explodes inside Chameleon, knocking him to the floor. Chameleon stands up and fires the wrecking ball again. SpyBorg grabs it this time. This surprises Chameleon, but not too much. In fact, Chameleon uses this to his advantage by turning sharply, moving the chain, and throwing SpyBorg to the wall on the other side of the Lobby. Chameleon pulls in the ball into his mouth and vanishes again, chuckling to himself. SpyBorg climbs back up to his feet. SpyBorg gets an idea on his own. This should tell you how advanced robots are in UltraBot City.
"You're scared of me, aren't you, Chameleon?" SpyBorg asks to seemingly no one.
"Scared? Of you? Don't flatter yourself," Chameleon's voice returns.
"But you keep cloaking yourself so I can't get to you before you're ready for another attack!... One thing is wrong with your stratagy though..." SpyBorg notifies.
"Wrong? With what? My style is ingenious!" Chameleon shouts angrily.
"I know where you are!" SpyBorg launches another Photon Blast, and it explodes in mid-air... or so it seems - He's hit Chameleon while he's camuflauged! Chameleon gives a short yell of surprise and pain.
"How...? How did you do that? You can't possibly... see... me?" Chameleon asks stunned by the shock.
"You're forgetting something, Chameleon," SpyBorg continues.
"What might that be?" Chameleon's voice is heard behind SpyBorg, who turns around.
"You may be invisible, but I have another way of detecting stealth units..." SpyBorg brags.
"How can you do that?" Chameleon asks. SpyBorg fires a Photon Blast at the ceiling, and it hits the cloaked Chameleon. He falls, making another dent in the floor. "What on earth am I doing wrong?"
"You keep up a conversation," SpyBorg says with a smirk. He fires a Photon Blast at the dent, but misses Chameleon. SpyBorg is surprised by feeling something wrap around his stomach, swing him around a few times, then being hurled into a wall head first! Chameleon's voice is heard laughing, but then yells shortly as another Photon Blast hits him. SpyBorg crawls from the hole in the wall, which he had made, and stands on his feet. "Where are you, Chameleon?" SpyBorg calls.
"As if I would tell you!" Chameleon's voice roars.
"You just did!" SpyBorg shouts as he swings his leg around, and slams into Chameleon's side. Chameleon slides a little, making gashes in the floor. Chameleon comes back, grabs SpyBorg, and throws him. SpyBorg lands on the nearby wall with his feet, and launches himself to Chameleon, elbow first. He jabs Chameleon in the chest. Chameleon flashes in and out. Eventually, he is completely visible.
"No! My cloaking device! - It's failing!" Chameleon gasps. "Why you little dirty brat! When I get to you this time, you'll be smashed into a million pieces!" Chameleon rushes to SpyBorg, Picks him up again, and throws him into the glass doors of the Lobby's exit. The doors shatter, and SpyBorg comes back into the building.
"Professor! Lynda! Exit now!" SpyBorg instructs.
"But what about you?" Lynda asks.
"I've got a job to finish!" SpyBorg says as he exchanges his Arm Buster for his real hand. He runs to Chameleon, and jumps over him. Chameleon turns around, but SpyBorg manages to grab his tail. Chameleon swings his tail around, and smashes SpyBorg into the ground multiple times. SpyBorg, still hanging on, begins to swing Chameleon around. He bashes Chameleon into the tiled floor multiple times. As a finishing blow, he swings Chameleon in a circle. Round and round and round he goes. When SpyBorg thought he was going at a significant speed, he lets go of Chameleon. Chameleon, going about 80 mph, blasts through the walls of several rooms. He crash lands in the outside courtyard, where Lynda and Comm just happen to be. Lynda screams when she sees Chameleon in the brick walkway. SpyBorg walks calmly through the newly-made holes in the walls. He picks up Chameleon by the neck. He asks, "What was that about me being a million pieces?"
"I'll get you, yet!" Chameleon sneers and slams his hand on his chest, right where SpyBorg had damaged his cloaking device, emphisizing himself.
"It's over, Chameleon. Face it. You've lost," SpyBorg states seriously.
"You may have won the fight, but the war isn't over! I'll be back with a vengence!" Chameleon declares. He tears away from SpyBorg's grasp. Surprisingly, that hit he made on himself got his cloaking device back in order, for he vanishes and runs. SpyBorg wins his first battle against a nutorious MECH member!


Chapter 10: What More could a Robot Want?
SpyBorg, Comm, and Lynda cheer for joy. Their fight was a success, but SpyBorg finds something lacking, though. He doesn't feel as excited as Comm and Lynda are. Lynda notices SpyBorg's lack of enthusiasum, and thinks she knows how to help.
"SpyBorg? What's wrong? We won," Lynda asks, putting her hand on his shoulder armor.
"Chameleon is still out there somewhere... he's going to come back. This seems like a mere test," SpyBorg explains.
"But no one has ever passed this 'test'. You're the first to even drive him off!" Lynda smiles.
"He may be causing trouble elsewhere right now," SpyBorg frowns.
"After what you did, he'll need some repairs before he does anything," Comm steps in.
"Yeah, I did damage him pretty badly didn't I?" SpyBorg begins to smile.
"You sure did! Chameleon isn't used to damage at all. You've given him a new experience that he'll never want again. Plus you've saved the Channel-7 News Broadcast building - well, most of it anyway," Lynda giggles.
"Yeah, sorry about the holes and dents," SpyBorg sighs.
"At least it was just the Lobby," Comm smiles.
"No... no, it wasn't... Look," SpyBorg points to the set of holes made by the torpedoing adversary.
"Oh..." Lynda says with a small shocked look. "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh... Well... I'll see what we can do to repair that... I'm the Deputy Mayor, and that's my job... I'll talk to Bruce about this..."
"Bruce? You mean the Mayor of UltraBot City?" Comm asks.
"The same," Lynda informs.
"I am sort of wondering..." Comm steps closer, with a hopeful smile. "Would SpyBorg and I be permitted to see the Mayor when you talk to him about the situation? I'm sure he'd like to hear the battle from someone who fought in it."
"Well, as far as I'm concerned, I think you should talk with him. Bruce would be so delighted. Come on, Let's go."
Lynda, Comm, and SpyBorg walk along the lengthy sidwalks before reaching the Mayor's Central Building. Lynda and Comm asend the stairs, while SpyBorg teleports into the computer systems. Once they finally arrived Comm gives a sigh of relief. Lynda, being the Deputy Mayor, just walks in, but gives a signal for SpyBorg and Comm to stay outside the room until the invitation was confirmed. It isn't long before SpyBorg gets curious again.
"What are we waiting for?" SpyBorg asks without moving from his position.
"We are waiting for the Mayor's approval for our arrival," Comm explains.
"But we are already here... Do I miss-understand something?" SpyBorg tilts his head in confusion.
"No, no, no. We have to wait for permission to enter the Mayor's office."
"How long must we wait?"
"Not long, hopefully."
At that time, Lynda opens the door, and lets in SpyBorg and Prof. Comm. Both SpyBorg and Comm are stunned as they see the marvelous, stylish office for the first time in their lives. The soft, plush, diamond-printed rug on the floor adds a touch of exoticness into the room. The tall, brass-stemmed lamp with a translusent shade makes a sort of crystalizing comfort and warmness of the light more apparent. The glass of the clean widows almost lets you feel the wind outside, for the window looks like it is open. The bookselves with mill-work style edges are a calming, comfortable addition to the colorful office room. SpyBorg is occupied with looking and touching things in the room with the curiosity of a child. Bruce, the Mayor of UltraBot City, stands up from his majestic chair.
"Hello, there. You must be SpyBorg and Mr. Wiz," Bruce greets. He walks over the SpyBorg, holding his hand out, and stopping SpyBorg from touching a priceless glass hummingbird on his bookself. "You must be SpyBorg! I am Bruce, the mayor of UltraBot City." SpyBorg and Bruce shake hands. Bruce begins to rub his hand afterward. "Wow... You've got a good grip, there!"
"Thank you," SpyBorg smiles.
"SpyBorg, I am so happy that you were able to make a MECH gangster leave our city. You have achived what no other defense robot, station, and/or personel could even dream of! - And I salute you, Professor Wiz! Your resourcfulness, perseverance, and imagination has really paid off. You have created the most sophisticated robot I have ever seen! You've matched the robotics of the MECH gang itself!"
"Well, you must also thank my assistant, Lee. She is very helpful to my cause," Comm states.
"And all in a day's work for me - my first day's work, that is. Ah ha ha ha," SpyBorg repsonds with his left hand behind his head.
"As the Mayor of UltraBot City, I wish to give both of you a reward! I can give you whatever this city can supply! It's the least I can do for you two. Hope is beginning to turn toward us, now. As long as we have a skilled protector, we shall not fear anyone anymore."
"Well, I know this may sound awkward, but I wish to have the permission to collect parts from a scrap yard at half price anytime," Comm admits.
"For you, Mr. Wiz, you can have any item in the scrap yards here for free. I'm sure you need to the parts for more robots?" Bruce guesses.
"More like, up-grading the one I have into a Super-Defender," Comm replies.
"I see. Now, what can I do for you, SpyBorg? What do you want as a reward?" Bruce asks with a gleam in his eye, waiting for a responce. However, surprisingly, SpyBorg hesitates. He has a puzzeled expression on his face. He looks to the floor, then back to Bruce. He explains his confusion by saying, "I simply can't say, for I honestly don't know. I've got a purpose, I have the ability to fulfill my purpose, and someone finds me effecient. What more could a robot want?"
Bruce is now usnure of how to reply. What SpyBorg said, he can't argue with. But surely he wanted something. How could he not want a reward for what he's done?
"Well..." SpyBorg begins. "I guess there is one thing I would like..."
"That's my boy! What is it?" Bruce asks with a big grin.
"Permission to help out the construction crew. Someone's going to rebuild what was lost during the fight," SpyBorg explains.
"We'd be most appreciative of that, SpyBorg. You'll have free access to the construction zones," Bruce agrees.
"Thank you very much for our rewards, Sir. If you'll excuse me, SpyBorg's going to get a gift from me," Comm informs.
"Ah, I understand you're a busy man, Mr. Wiz. I will make sure the all public hears of your great feats," Bruce promises. "Thank you again, both of you."

Chapter 11: Within the Shadows
A large metal door slowly rises upward. sliding into the ceiling above. Clanks are heard, but nothing's there. The door quickly drops to close and lock. Then, Chameleon appears. He's a little worried about his appearance. After all, he went into battle and lost earlier. Chameleon jumps and clings to a wall, trying to think of a way to hide his injuries. Why is Chameleon so worried about that now?
"Chameleon... Come forth..." someone commands.
That's why. In case you don't know, we're in the secret hidden base of Maverick. Maverick is not easy to please, and does not like failures. If he sees Chameleon like this, Chameleon may look even worse before he's repaired. Chameleon has no choice but to come, though. If he doesn't, then Maverick will come looking for him. There's no winning this one. Chameleon crawls into the main Command Center. He is, however, ready to jump out of the way, just in case of aggressive actions by Maverick.
"Chameleon... Why have you delayed?" Maverick's deep, intimidating, commanding voice is heard, and blazing red eyes piercing through the shadows.
"I...uh... had a problem with... um... Insectoid on the way over," Chameleon lies.
"You seem damaged. Have the humans at last built a weapon to resist us?" Maverick asks without expression.
"Well... uh... no... not really... uh... Insectoid did this..." Chameleon studders.
"You do not trust me Chameleon?" Maverick raises one eyebrow in the dark.
"Wha... why do you ask? Not like I'm... I'm... oh, it's no use..." Chameleon sighs. "The humans have a protector now. They call him... SpyBorg... He's trouble to us. He was able to know where I was, even while I was cloaked..."
"Radar?"
"No. He said my fault was... keeping a conversation..."
"Oh, you idiot!"
"What? Am I not understanding something?"
"He found you out by sound instead of sight! By talking to him, you gave your position away! Because you kept a conversation, he was able to hear where you were moving to! I thought you were smarter than that!"
"Well, now I know what not to do, I think I can fight him again soon..."
"Not yet. You do need repairs, and SpyBorg will as well. Tell me everything that had happened, and I shall show Ninjai, Insectoid, and Arachnoid how to fight him. By the way, any chance of you happening to see Assassin01 whilest you were in town?"
"No, Master. I didn't."
"Perfect..." Maverick sighs sarcasticly. "Just perfect... I have summoned him 15 times, now. Why hasn't he even acknowledged my requests to speak with him?"
"Perhaps SpyBorg got to him first... and... *gulp*... finished the job?" Chameleon asks in worry.
"Not possible! Assassin01 is the top out of all my creations! I couldn't imagine anyone with a robot better than mine!" Maverick shouts.
"Well, what do we do with SpyBorg next time I see him? Try to turn him to our side or destroy him?" Chameleon asks with a small smile.
"If he hast done what you have wondered, kill him... kill him."


Chapter 12: First Upgrade
Lynda follows them to the main doors, where she waves them good-bye. SpyBorg waves back with a very pleased smile. Comm and SpyBorg walk side-by-side, SpyBorg almost skipping along.
"What a great day this has been so far. I fight and win in a battle! That was so thrilling! A test of wits and tactics - talk about fun," SpyBorg raves.
"I'm glad you enjoyed it, SpyBorg. I'm very glad," Comm concurs.
"You weren't sure if I was going to?" SpyBorg asks.
"Not really."
"How come? I thought you'd know for you programmed and constructed me, right?"
"Well... It's programmed that you can do this job, but your programming is a bit different from most robots I've seen. You're entitled to your own opinion. In this case, it's in our favor."
"Thank you, Sir."
"What are you thanking me for?"
"You've given me the freedom of thought. I'm a lucky robot."
"Ah. People take it for granted, for we always have our own opinions and thoughts, but not every robot does."
"And I'm glad I am a robot that does."
SpyBorg hugs Comm with a big smile, kind of like a kid hugging his dad. He lets go and looks a bit embarrased.
"Oh. Sorry if I had made you uncomfortable, there... I was just grateful and didn't really know what to do with myself..." SpyBorg begins, but Comm stops him.
"It's alright, SpyBorg. It's alright. I understand."
They pass by the Pizza Rama, but Greg isn't there for once. This is very unusual, for normally he's either helping out with the cooking or trying to get more people into the place. For now, they ignore that detail. Once why return home, Lee rushes to them and hugs them both, happy that Comm didn't come back with scrap metal like he usually does. SpyBorg's got dings and dents in him, but nothing major.
"Oh Comm! SpyBorg! You're alright!" Lee cheers.
"Mission accomplished," SpyBorg winks.
"He drove away Chameleon from the Channel 7 News Broadcast Building. The fight was amazing! Tell her about it, SpyBorg," Comm smiles.
"Me? Really? Okay. Well, he and I exchanged words before the battle begun. He made himself invisible, making it impossible for detection by sight. He gave me a bit of a battering with that tounge of his. I knew I wasn't strong enough by Photon Blast alone. I needed an upper hand. I got him to talk with me, which gave away his position due to sound. He was so confused at how I could find where he was. He constantly kept trying to throw me into the walls. Most times it worked, but once I bounced back and stabbed him with my elbow. That damaged his cloaking device and we had a fair tustle. Finally, I swung him around by his tail and he smashed through many walls like a missile... So... there are a bunch of holes in the building... and... I'm going to help the construction crew rebuild those areas."
"Wow! You really are amazing, SpyBorg!" Lee cooes.

[Miss_Ceres]

Wow It's quite long !
Let me a few days to read all this text, with my dictionnary and I'll tell you my point of view

[Ray2master]

I actually don't expect people to read it all first time. It's a lot to take in, I know. Take your time. All I ask is that you don't forget about it completely.

[neo]

I'll copy and paste this to NotePad, and read the whole thing offline, and I'll promise I'll read the whole thing, trust me.

[Ray2master]

You are one I can trust, Neo. Have no fear of that.

[neo]

Thank you, friend. I appreciate that. Btw, nice T-cards!

[Ray2master]

Thanks. I've made more...

[neo]

Believe it or not, I finished reading. I didn't expect to finish so quick... At first, I got interested, then boom! SpyBorg is excited about his fight with Chameleon! It was nice, can't wait for more!

[Ray2master]

It may be a bit before there is more. I still have to figure out how to introduce Matrix. My sister is involved in my story, believe it or not.

[neo]

Thats cool! I can wait.... I love reading...

[Ray2master]

But that section is still in its developing stage, sadly.

[neo]

Well, how long do you think it will take? So I can count down....

[Ray2master]

Can't tell you - don't know.

[neo]

Thats ok, I am very patient. I can wait.

[Ray2master]

Neo, could you edit your signature? I'd rather the swearing not be there.

[neo]

Sure, sorry.... Do you like it now? I just found out how to do that....

[Ray2master]

Yeah, it's good.

[neo]

I like your location, its funny.... Can I use it sometime?

[Ray2master]

Eh... it's something WildFire and I did as a joke... we're not fond of people stealing our jokes. You can if you say we're the ones who started it.

[neo]

Sure, I'll say you guys started it! Thanks.
