M4 sat in the commanders office. She had waited as he said and met him here. What bothered her was AK-12 was here... She wasn't informed of a new Adjutant being assigned. But she was taken from her thoughts as Kaiser walked in.
"Ah!" He greeted "M4 your here good, oh and good timing, AK-12 is my assistant since her logical processing is closest to my own."
He entered the office but instead of closing the door I saw someone else walk in. It was Scarecrow and... she had an unfamiliar Emblem on her chest piece...
And brazened on the armor was the words: "Ancient Army"...
"Commander... Why is Scarecrow here? She nearly killed you, she attacked the base!" I admit I was getting heated, I didn't know why though..
I felt the rooms pressure increase immensely, even AK-12 who was quietly monitoring us got up from her seat eyes open. Scarecrow looked even scared...
"M4. I will only say this once: I do not take kindly to my subordinates being talked down upon. Just because she shot me don't mean she's the enemy trust me I've been shot by WAY worse." He sat on his chair and took a drink of something. Scarecrow made her way behind him as if she was guarding him, he continued.
"Scarecrow was fixed by me, treated by me, and was shown exactly what her makers were doing. She's as loyal to me as you are." With that said the room went back to normal, AK12 looked at him and he nodded she soon went back to resting idly.
"I understand sir."
"I'm not going to make you get along with her, she's going to be near me until the base warms up. I'm planning on saving her peers if I get the chance... Mind control even on Dolls... I don't like it."
What he said... he doesn't see us as weapons... he sees us as.. people?
"I understand, now I guess you know what I'm going to ask..?" He sipped his drink and nodded
"Yes I do. AK12, kindly make sure what's said don't leave this room."
She nodded at him and soon spoke
"Commander, Anti Surveillance countermeasures on. We are black."
"M4, what nobody knows is I'm not human. You coulda already guessed that since I've taken enough damage to kill humans twice over. I'm not from this world. I was... fighting a scientist that was really hellbent on destroying stuff. He made a machine and when I confronted him he went nuclear option. So now I'm here" he continued to drink what he had in front of him.
"So... your not some super soldier, your not some mutant, and not even a special Doll... your a mortal? Then... explain the halo and wings!" I couldn't help but demand
He sighed "They were my wife's. See she wasn't human neither, in our world there were many races, Draco being my race. Here look-" he pulled out a picture with nearly a hundred people surrounding one man... lo and behold it was Kaiser... same hair, horns, tail everything..
"How you saw a halo above my head and wings on my back confuses even me.." he said quietly
"Kaiser? If your from that world how old are you?" I hope I didn't strike a nerve..
"4757."
He's-
"Your nearly 5 thousand years old? You look exceptionally great for your age."
He looked at me like he heard it before, I don't doubt he has.
"Please don't start... only people here that know are Kryuger and Helian, and a few scientists that were either brave or stupid enough to prod me."
"Sir. You have a package waiting." AK12 spoke up, sounding urgent.
"Roger, Scarecrow, M4 on me."
Sometime later.
We acquired what was sent to Kaiser, it was a grey metal suitcase.. I didn't see inside it but his expression portrayed it was important. Soon as he closed it he turned to me.
"M4, get the rest of the AR team, NOW! Meet me in my office in 10!" I saluted wondering what could have caused such a drastic change.
And with that 10 minutes we entered his office only to see him pace around looking actually nervous.
Everyone from my team were here and we were worried even Sop went to him..
"Shikikan? What's wrong?"
"We have to get to the express elevator, now. AR follow me, Scarecrow your behind us." And with that he walked away. We followed..
We got to the express elevator, nobody used it since the floors beneath it were locked down and we didn't want to risk damaging anything.
"Commander this elevator is locked, we can't-" he cut me off by putting his hand to the scanner and to my surprise it... opened...
"Enter now.."
We all get into the elevator with him having to slightly bend. But he pulls out that briefcase and pulls a key.. it's an oddly shaped key.. he inserts it into the control panel and it lights up. We begin to descend where nobody has gone to before
As we kept going further down I kept glancing at him, he was being troubled by something, his face portrayed actual pain.. he held his head and had to brace on scarecrow to stop from falling.
"Commander?! What's going on??" Scarecrow asked worriedly
"My senses are vastly more superior to Dolls... whatever is down here is actually managing to overwhelm me... I'm fine just disoriented.."
He assured us as the elevator stopped. We all leave and see a massive room lined with monitors and... some kind of bomb being illuminated by lights, scans indicate it's... nuclear in nature..
Kaiser walks to a monitor and turns it on, imputing some kind of code to log in. And once it does the lights come on but... so does something else... a voice speaks
"Boot sequence activated please wait...
Boot sequence 50% complete....
Boot sequence 100% starting A.I. functions designation "Elise"
.
.
.
"Mmmm so your the one to wake me. It's good to finally meet you, Kaiser. I'm an A.I. tasked with helping you, you may call me Elise."
Kaiser stiffened upon hearing him mentioned and she spoke once more.
"You found the toy? Good, my old user wanted to use it on the world. He got mad when I wouldn't let him. So let's find out what you are hmm?"
As she said that something stabbed Kaiser, it was a robotic arm and it was embedded in his chest, but the instead of the usual unfazed Kaiser I was met with someone who was afraid..
"Kaiser!?! WAIT-" then a blinding light knocked me down, soon giving to failure of my ocular systems... last thing I heard was a woman's voice laughing then... crying?
"You- you aren't him by far... your his polar opposite I'm sorry! The others will be fine. I contacted Kryuger.. Forgive me... Master..."
