Two M9-X17 model Reploid security models stood outside on the dock. Thier design was typical of the latest Reploid designers, uniform, and fluid. Round, sphere-like bodies with a squat frame, and half-dome head. They spoke to each other via a vocoder vox chip, which was implanted behind a small armored plate. Each held a firearm in his hand, as they did not posess internal weapons systems of thier own.
The two did not have names, but called each other by assigned serial numbers. These were P9-034 and RK11-16.
P9's digital voice sounded distracted, and anxious.
"Why do we always have to get the dull assignments?", he lamented. RK just shrugged, a pre-programmed human gesture, but easilly recognizable by his counterpart. "I'm just glad we don't have to clean out the scrap pile Doppler put in this place."
"That's kind of bizzare don't you think RK?", P9 asked.
"What, the junk yard? I guess so, but if Dr. Doppler wanted it there, I'm sure it is there for a reason."
Off in the distance, a splashing sound, and the whine of an engine disengaging caught thier attention.
"Did you hear that RK?"
"Let's go check it out!", his commrade replied.
The docks on the coastline of New Doppler town were filled with places where any incoming craft could dock, and even though surveillance was supposed to be keeping an eye on the place, it was Dr. Doppler's policy to never trust anyone. Gaurds were placed, and rotated every couple of hours. These two were watching the south dock, and started to move toward the water. Down they went, two flights of stairs, and out onto a pier. To the right, they saw darkness, and fog. Afterall, it was the middle of the night on this side of the world. The evening air was cool, and the fog sat like a think blanket in the air. To the left, a polished white scaffolding. The support to the upper level they were just standing on. They strained to listen, but only heard the ocean as the waves crashed against the sand in the distance.
P9 went up a little further. "Hey, I found something!"
"What is it?", his commrade replied?"
"It is a speeder. A hover bike of some kind. I think they call it a 'Ride Chaser.'" "What should we do?" ,RK asked.
"Look around, the rider has to be somewhere."
The two gaurds started to search for the rider of the bike.
Suddenly, a blue blast of energy flashed from under the scaffolding. P9's head melted off of his body, and fell into the water. His deactivated body dropped to the dock. RK turned to look, and call for help, but before he could do anything, a green saber bisected him, and he shattered.
Zero landed on the pier clutching his mighty weapon.
Still on the outside, he had finally arrived at this mysterious Island. New Doppler Town, a near by sign proclaimed. The original Doppler insignia was placed everywhere. Surrounded by a wall, and crawling with gaurds, the perimiter was not going to be easy to breach. Zero needed a way in, and he had to keep it quiet. He deactivated the saber, and stowed it away. "Time to hide the evidence.", he mumbled. He dumped the gaurd's parts in the ocean, and hid his ride chaser under the pier. Then, he took off looking for a way to get inside. (to be continued)
Was this post a bit dull? Sorry, couldn't think of how to begin... better stuff coming, okay!
