Elementals: Techno Wars

Urgent News

After throwing their food away, Steve, Neos, and Sub all began to make their way towards Infinity Tower, and since Steve had become quite familiar with the route, they were there in a little less than ten minutes, which meant they had plenty of time to spare. As the group walked in, they didn't waste time making their way to the elevator, pressing the up button to cause an elevator to come down to the ground floor. Once it had, they all three entered it, with Steve pressing the button labeled forty-two, causing the elevator to begin climbing the building. As the elevator began to rise, the camera inside it began to scan the individuals inside, registering them into the database for identification, and sounding them off as it figured out who they were, for it couldn't be heard by the three males.

Camera: Alpha Master detected. Omega Master detected. Delta Master detected. Waiting to engage.

After just a brief moment of waiting, the elevator had brought them up to the desired floor, with the doors opening to reveal a massive floor with blueprints and experimental technology that was all being worked on by Grimmus. Delighted to see them all, Grimmus turned to greet the three.

Grimmus: Well, I'll be damned if the Elementals aren't back together again!

Sub: It's good to see you too, Grimmus.

Grimmus: Man, Neos and Sub, it has been quite awhile since I've seen the two of you. How have you been doing?

Neos: Well, I play camera man for a security office, so things have been more than a little slow going, but nothing bad to say.

Grimmus: That's good to hear. And you, Sub?

Sub: Well, Alpha Academy's running pretty well. Although, teaching can be a bit of a hassle.

Grimmus: Yes,  I would imagine that teaching students can be quite the mental workout at times. And Steve, well, I don't have to ask how you're doing. After all, we just left each other, didn't we?

Steve: That's right, yeah. Anyways, what did you need the three of us here for?

Grimmus: Well, I was wanting to call you all here for a special project. See, it's one that I'm unable to really talk about, so I've put it all on a flash drive for you to view. Aside from that, however, I'm afraid that's all I'm able to truly say out loud. It's tough to even imagine just who could potentially be hacking into the cameras to listen in on our conversation right now, and well, the information on that drive is extremely top secret. Well, a-a-anyway, off you go, now.

Grimmus quickly placed the tiny flash drive into Steve's hand and began to direct the three back towards the elevator, worrying them a bit.

Steve: Grimmus, is everything alright? You're acting like something's wrong.

Neos: Yeah man, is everything alright?

Grimmus: Oh, yes, everything's fine. I just have a business meeting to attend shortly, and I can't afford to show up late. I am truly sorry to cut this short, but again, you know how that stuff goes. Well, goodbye now!

Grimmus kindly forced the three into the elevator, reaching in to push the G labeled button, which would close the elevator doors and begin dropping the three males back to the ground floor, all of which were both confused and concerned.

Neos: So, does anyone know what that was about?

Steve: I don't have a clue. He never acts like that.

Sub: Well, whatever that was about, he sure seemed to care an awful lot about that flash drive; or at least, whatever's on it.

Neos: What do you think it could be?

Steve: Who knows? Honestly, it might just be a weird device or something; like a new Compression Cell.

Sub: Well, if how anxious he seemed is any indication, it must be something at least a little bit important.

Neos: I thought he was anxious because he had a meeting?

Sub: Neos, come on, you didn't honestly believe that, did you?

Neos: Uhhh... No...

Steve: Well, if you ask me, I'm sure there's a perfectly good reason for why he was in such a rush to give this to us and why he was acting the way that he was. Here, Sub, you take it and see what's on it. If anyone's gonna understand what it is, it's bound to be you. In the meantime, let's just relax and trust Grimmus when he says that nothing's wrong.

Steve proceeded to reach Sub the flash drive, with Sub grabbing it as it was reached to him, and putting it in his pocket. Around that time, the elevator had stopped on the ground floor, and the doors would open, signaling for the group to exit. As they were, though, Steve began to receive a call on his phone. After pulling the phone out of his pocket, he looked to see that it was Grimmus, which confused him even further, along with the rest of the group, for they had just left from seeing him.

Neos: What could he possibly want all of a sudden? I mean, we just left him.

Steve: I'm not sure. Guess there's only one way to find out, though.

Without any further hesitation, Steve clicked on the green button on his phone screen and would hold the phone up to his ear.

Steve: Hello?

Grimmus: Oh! H-Hey, Steve! I almost forgot to tell you that you're wanted for a memorial being held at Jackson Park tomorrow evening. The city's holding it to commemorate the old kingdom of Terra, and they want who they still consider their true king to be there.

Steve: Alright! I'll be there.

Grimmus: Oh, uhhh, e-excellent! It's at seven o'clock tomorrow evening, so don't be late. Oh, and remember, don't mention your and Herobrine's names at the same time, if you mention his at all.

Steve: Oh... Y-Y-Yeah, ok....

Grimmus: Ok! I'll see you then!

Grimmus immediately hung up the phone after saying his final words, and would be followed by Steve putting his phone back in his pocket, with a traumatized expression still covering his face.

Neos: Steve, is everything ok?

Sub: Yeah, dude, you look pale, and that's saying something coming from me.

Steve: Oh, y-yeah, I just.. have to go get ready for a memorial now.
