Murder Drones: Multiverse Mecha Madness

Chapter 5: Wächter's rival

Wächter watches the worker drones go about their lives, and he begins to  rememberness the past.

Years ago, when the Murder Drones first landed, Wächter was actually a worker drone that worked a radio tower named Walter.

Walter walked through the snow of the abandoned human city. All organic life was wiped off the face of the planet.

He approached a human skeleton  that was covered in ice. He poked it, and it fell over, shattering into a million peaces.

Walter's friend Daniel came over and said. "Walter, no one is answering the radio! What do we do!?!" Daniel had a worried expression. Walter puts his hand on Daniel's shoulder. "Don't worry about it! There's a snowstorm going off nearby. It's probably jamming the systems."

Daniel said. "Yeah, yeah. You're probably right, I just get worried, is all!"

Walter smiled and said. "Chilled my guy!" Walter looked around the icy landscape around them and laughed. "Pun attended!"

Walter and Daniel laughed, which was good as it eased Daniel's worries.

But a third individual was laughing, Daniel and Walter look up at the nearby ruins of a three story building. On the top was a feminine figure with bladed wings, sharp metal talons, a long barbed tail, and a neon yellow X where her eyes should be. She continued giggling long after Walter and Daniel stopped.

She had something in her claws, Walter couldn't tell what it was because of how far it was. But she dropped it. It was round and rolled to Walter's feet.

It was a severed head of a worker drone, mouth opened wide  like they were screaming when they died.

It felt like an hour looking at the head, noticing new disturbing details about it, but in truth, it was only a couple of moments until Daniel screamed, and the figure jumped down.

Daniel and Walter ran to the radio tower and closed the door shut. Walter watched the thing slink her way around tower, not coming up. She was toying with them.

Daniel asked. "What do we do!?! WHAT DO WE DO!?!"

Walter slapped Daniel and said. "Calm down! Listen, the radio tower has underground tunnels below us. They were made so humans would have an easy and safe escape from a snowstorm. If we go there, it will take us to the city!"

Daniel calmed down, and once he was calm, he said. "Alright, but how are we going to give ourselves time when it's waiting for us?"

Walter looked around, and he found a box. He opened it, revealing a flare gun. He loaded it and answered. "We'll use this."

Walter goes outside and shoots the flair gun. It went quite the distance, Walter saw something flying towards the flare.

Walter said. "Go! Go! Go!"

Walter and Daniel went down the tower and opened a trap door, and climbed in.

Walter and Daniel run through the tunnel, the figure jumps into the tunnels, and catches up quickly.

The figure grabbed Walter and throwed him into the wall. He smashed into a pipe, causing it to break and leak gas, Walter yelled at Daniel. "Don't stop running!!!" Daniel did so. Walter looked at the figure. It had an orange arm band with a skull on it, and the letter V.

Walter said. "Hey V! Look at me!" V turned her head at him and snarled.

Walter held up the flare gun to the gas.

Walter shot the flare gun, causing a huge explosion.

The cave collapsed, killing Walter and injuring V. She climbed away from the flames, limping like a wounded animal. Her body began to heal itself slowly.

Walter woke up in a dark void. He looked around, in front of him was a bright light, and the light spoke to him. "Walter, you died a noble death, sacrificing yourself to save a friend. Because of this, I will give you a rare opportunity to be reformatted into a defender of something much larger than your own universe. The universe."

Walter nodded, allowing the light to change him.

The light reveals itself as a sword, and it knights him and puts itself in his hands. "You are now, Wächter."

Wächter's focus goes back to the present day, Wächter went through years of training and was sent on a scout mission, and he went to his universe. To Copper 9, for the selfish reasons of vengeance, and now the universe would pay the price.

Wächter stood up and said to himself. "I will make this right, I will hold up to my duties to defend the multiverse!"

Uzi was behind Wächter, and she asked him. "Do you always monolog to yourself?"

Wächter was startled. "How long were you there."

Uzi said. "Only to hear that monolog. Why? Were you talking to yourself about other things?"

Wächter said. "N-no! It was just the monolog!"

Uzi, obviously, didn't believe him, but just shrugged and said. "Whatever."

Wächter asked. "Did you get your dad's permission to help hunt down the Murder Drones?"

Uzi rolled her eyes and replied. "Why should I!?!"

Wächter said. "Because he is your father, and he knows what's best for you."

Uzi snapped. "Bite me! He knows nothing!!!"

Wächter looked confused and said. "Why are you so inraged about asking your dad for permission?"

Uzi looked away from Wächter and explained. "My father is a coward! He made the doors to keep the Murder Drones at bay, but instead of planning a counter attack! He just sat there twiddling his thumbs as our numbers dwindle from freak accidents, and only Robo-God knows what else! It was me who designed this Rail Gun to change our lives for the better!"

Wächter said calmly. "Yes, well. If I remember correctly, if I didn't appear to fight the Murder Drones, you would have been dead."

Uzi scoffed. "Whatever! How does that matter!?!"

Wächter replied. "How would you change your peoples lives for the better if you were dead? I don't completely want you to come with. you're quite reckless, but if you get your father's permission, then I'll ignore my gut for the lack of a better term, and. Let you come with."

Uzi said. "Fine! I'll be back!"

As Uzi left, Wächter said to himself. "Get ready, V, because I'm coming for you, and you will pay for all the suffering you caused, I will finish what we began so long ago, my rival."
