Last time, on Revolution Machine! Tech, Average and Neptune escaped Lastation on the Tri-wheel! After taking a bullet to the shoulder and passing out, Tech woke up in the base of the Planeptune resistance, meeting up with the Oracle Histoire and finally being told the situation. Will Tech actually go through on this mission, or sit on the sidelines as his machine still empowers the Tyrannical CPUs of Gamindustri?
"I don't got much choice. I'm yer man." After Tech spoke, Neptune cheered, and Average went back to his bass. Tech looked to Histoire, who had a soft smile on her face.
"I knew we could rely on you, Tech. Now, we have been devising a plan to get into the Basilicom, but it will require more than just stealth. I can guarantee you there will be some forced entry, but I am certain you are no stranger to getting through mechanical defenses." Tech snorted, puffing his chest out.
"What d'ya take me fer, a rookie? If I can't over-ride the locks, I'll give 'em the ol' bullet to the screen!"
"Don't be too brash, Tech. I know you're confident, but you have to remember we're up against a Charged CPU, that isn't a push over... especially since it's--"
"Can you just brief him already? I'd rather not hear about -her- right now if I can avoid it, please?" Average spat, setting his guitar onto his lap. Neptune turned around, lightly rubbing his back. Tech blinked a few times before simply shaking his head. This 'she' they were talking about, while not making him overly nervous, did pique his curiosity. However, judging by Average's reactions to just mere mention of her, he didn't pry. There was old wounds, and Tech of all people, didn't want to re-open them if it could be avoided. With a small smile, he gave Histoire a thumbs up.
"Yeah, lets get this over with, I'm ready to get goin'. I'm awready goin' stir-crazy!" Tech spoke with a hearty guffaw, seeing that even if it wasn't that noticeable, that Average let out a small smile. If Tech was going to try anything, at least it would be to lighten the mood. Histoire gave a soft smile before pointing to both Neptune and Average.
"You three have a relatively simple task: Get into the Planeptune Basilicom, destroy the Sharicium Generator and put out a broadcast for Neptune... If she's able to transform after that. I'm sure if we dethrone her long enough, Neptune can come back into power."
"...Y'expect me to destroy a machine that's barely damageable, all while avoidin' some other psycho CPU? Now that... I like those odds." Tech snickered, puffing out his chest. He went over to the Tri-wheel, opening the back trunk and pulling out KINGPIN's motherboard. After affixing it to his belt, he earned a glare from IF.
"Who gave you permission to modify my fuckin' Tri-wheel?!"
"YER Tri-wheel? I built this with m'own two hands! If we didn't have a world t'save, I'd show the wrench I used to the side o' yer head." Tech cringed at himself after hearing himself say that. Him? Save the world? That just sounded... wrong. He wasn't a hero, but it looks like he had to be, just this once. IF narrowed her eyes, then shook her head. Average and Neptune were already packed up. Average lugging his bass over his shoulder and Neptune was tugging Average to the door. Tech pursed his lips. I'm really doing this, huh? Guess I should try to make the most of it...
With a sigh, he walked over to join the two, looking back at Histoire. "So, make way fer the Basilicom, don' get caught by Sally No-Name an' destroy the Sharicium Generator. Easy 'nuff. Y'two aren't gonna hold me back, are ye?" Tech playfully punched Average's arm, earning a snort from him.
"I think you're the one you should worry about. We can handle ourselves." Average seemed like he wanted to continue speaking, but Neptune poked his cheek.
"Oh, don't be like that, Avy! Nothing's wrong with a little bit of playful banter, riiiiight? Besides, if we're going to be a party, then we need to get along like a party! Bring it in!" Neptune hooked both Tech and Average's neck into a forceful side-hug. Tech couldn't help but think that Neptune was really strong for someone so small. After he wiggled free, he kept his pace to the door.
"Fine, I'll play nice fer a while, lets just get goin'. The sooner we get that machine down, the sooner we can get back an' I can tinker again." With a huff, Tech opened the door, Average and Neptune following suite. Histoire waved as they left, a soft yet hopeful smile on her face.
