The Book of: M.O.D.Y (Part 3)

Chapter VII - Missing

Cyclops flew to Mody's island to deliver the bad news. "Mater, Charlotte has been taken by an unknown entity!"

"Did I not tell you to stop calling me master? My name is Mody, use it!" he said not focusing on what Cyclops had just told him. "Mast- Mody, did you not hear me? Agent C, Charlotte the great, has been kidnapped!" Cyclops repeated. "What do you mean kidnapped?" Mody question, not believing what he's hearing.

"Well, Master Mody. After a victory a couple of days ago, Charlotte wanted to give a speech, because the enemy has been surrounded in the Americas. After she finished, a flying...Thing took her, and no one knows where!" Cyclops exclaimed.

"Where was that speech given and in what direction was it flying to?" Mody asked. "It... I-...Hel..." Cyclops made a series of nonsense noises. "Cyclops talk to me!" Mody said, and Cyclops just continued to make these incoherent noises until finally. "Hello, my dear Mody... you have been missed."

Mody recognized that voice, it was the 1905th's. "How...Why...Where is Charlotte?!" Mody said.

1905th: "Calm down... gee! Must have struck a nerve there... She is safe I can assure you, aren't you dear?"

Charlotte: "Mody don't let him make you do anything!"

1905th: "Oh dear... I won't do anything to him or you... Now back to you traitor. You betrayed our father and now after I attempted to bring him back you hide and send a girl to fight me? Shame on you... and to think you commanded the Nople army once"

Mody: "Let her go. Your fight is with me not her."

1905th: "Should have thought of that before letting her fight me for five years."

Mody: "I didn't let her... I was busy fixing your mistake... As I always Have, fix all of your mistakes, because you all are idiots who think of themselves as omnipotent. Guess what, you're not."

1905th: "When will you understand, David didn't order to kill you, he ordered to bring him back. Have you read any of his messages? Because if you did, your Thean is lacking... I read all the letters, except his prophecy. You kept that one safe and well hidden... but he was asking you to bring him back and all the Noples to have another chance at a more peaceful life. I guess you don't want that so you?"

Mody: "That old man, had his chance. And instead of stopping the war he created ways to fight it! Remember the Kroples? They made peace with the Poples, David could have taken a page from their book and do whatever they did to achieve peace. Sadly, the old man was crazy and wanted to end the Poples."

1905th: "That old man loved us... If you want your precious agent, come meet me, and let us end this silly feud, once and for all."

Mody: "Where?"

1905th: "The park."

Mody: "Fine. Get ready to disappear. No one, and I mean no one takes my agents!"

Mody left, marching away. His face was lit with anger. The tiny robots are still carrying a skeleton that has some patches of flesh on it.

Mody flew to the same rally where Charlotte was giving her speech. As he stood in front of the crowds, he noticed the strange, confused looks the troops gave him.

Mody: "I know. Stop gazing on my face like idiots and let's rescue Agent C... The 1905th kidnapped her! Take the Americas and defeat this damned enemy of ours. Go! For Humanity!"

The troops cheered a cheer and dispersed to their battalions. The final march on the enemy was commencing. Mody went to the park in secrecy and only took Cyclops with him.

The park was empty, no sign of either the 1905th or Charlotte. "Show yourself or else." Mody threatened. "Or else what?" The 1905th appeared from thin air, alone. "Where is she?" Mody asked hastily. "She'll be here in time...Have patience." The 1905th said. "Bring. Her. Now!" The Monster shouted, losing control of his voice. "Gee... Calm down Monster. No need to bring that voice up." The 1905th said with a nervous smile on his face, hiding his shock from the sudden tone change. "Oh, are you scared? Should I stop?" The Monster continued talking in the same voice, getting ever closer to the 1905th. "You know what I am capable of, 1905th. I will torture the soul out of you, and then I will do it again!" The Monster threatened. The 1905th stood in silence, waiting. Mody did not move either. "where is she?!" The Monster demanded, breaking the silence with a shattering screech. Mody slowly approached him, getting uncomfortably closer and closer to the 1905th.

"Stop...Stop!" The 1905th shouted in fear, because he knew that he couldn't stand a chance against Mody. Although he knew Mody is only a Human now, weaker than his old self. "Be careful where you set foot my dearest friend." The 1905th says in an attempt to boost his confidence. "I set foot where I please! I am older than this ground, I am older than any ground on this retched planet!" The Monster said, his breath on the 1905th's face.

The 1905th moved back a safe distance from Mody, just enough that they couldn't strike each other. "If you want her, you know where she is. But you don't want her, do you? You want to do what you always do... keep the peace." He said with a smile on his face. "Only, I won't join you...I am what you call, a chosen one. Don't believe me? Ask our father... he predicted this four billion years ago!" he continued. He stood still looking more confident as he spoke more.

"But, we're all one." The 1904th said. "We all stem from the same place and it is this brain. We belong together not apart." He continued. Mody extended an arm out and said, "Please, we are still one. You found out how we can separate our consciousness into other bodies. Join us and we can live honorably." "And then what? kill our father?" the 1905th said. "Our father can still be restored. That is why he put the schematics to everywhere on this planet. He gave you the steps, but you reject him." the 1905th rambled on. "Our father died, and death was his final destination." The 1904th said. "But I thought death is not a word. Eh Monster?" 1905th said with a smug smile on his face. "Death is not a word, because Death has no word in Thean. You of all people should know that." the 1904th answered instead.

1904th: "You're the next in line after me, and I want to know you. Don't ruin it by turning humans into pseudo-Theans!"

1905th: "Why not? We can have the whole of our people back! And more, we could have David back, why do you not want David back?"

1904th: "We have to accept that death takes our beloved, even if we can restore them, we have to let go. Please 5th, let go."

1905th: "No! you abandon the one who created us!"

The 1905th's face turned noticeably red, his fists were clenched holding back the rage he has.

1905th: "You don't tell me what I do! I am the next generation, I found a way to leave, you're still stuck in that body. Bow before me!"

The 1905th stared into Mody's eyes. The 1905th's eyes glow in true hatred.

1904th: "Calm down, we can work together."

The Monster: "We can't work with him, he's insane, he engineers humans to a wrong depiction of prehistoric, extinct race. Leave him alone, fighting an uphill battle."

1906th: "Kill him, he's standing right there! Just strike him, one blow to the chest and he's dead!"

The Monster: "With what, idiot? My hands?"

1906th: "Use your mind trick, can't you kill him with pressure on his brain?"

1904th: "No one is breathing their last breath here. Either both join, or both leave!"

1905th: "You know I can hear you arguing, right?"

1904th: "Then what's your decision?"

1905th: "I choose that one of us doesn't breathe after we're done."

As soon as the 1905th finished his sentence, Mody heard a sharp noise and felt a prickling pain in the back of his neck.

1904th: "What's happening?!"

Suddenly everything went to black...
