Meanwhile... Frugal us walking down the hall of the second door... almost to the room where omega lies
The Big Omega 09-07-2003 12:48 PM
“Uh…go…back? No! I won’t go back!” Big Omega’s wires drew Meggido into the cockpit, more wires wrapped around his two swords and brought them in as well. Suddenly a light flashed over Meggido’s eyes, they adopted a glazed look for a few seconds and then turned a dark red, like the color of blood. “You poor, pitiful fool!” he yelled to Schwarzwald, “You can never understand…the truth… You cannot comprehend the power that I wield. You will not live!” Big Omega’s eyes began to glow a hateful red.

Hurry Schwarzwald, I need you to lead me into battle, I can no longer control myself…hurry! Schwarzwald heard the plaintive cry of Big Zeta. He ran to the cockpit of the Megadeus and entered. Hurry, Big Omega’s resurrection is taking place, we must stop it now! Schwarzwald settled down into the cockpit seat, he grasped both of the control sticks in his hands. “Let’s stop Omega here! Once and for all! I do know the truth, and yours is to die!”

Meggido began to laugh. Big Omega began to rise from the floor. Schwarzwald struggled with the unfamiliar controls of Big Zeta, though he had never piloted this Megadeus before he knew what everything did. Big Zeta rose from the ground too.

The two Megadei didn’t even bother to regard each other. Within seconds Big Omega’s blades swung forward and locked into attack position. Big Zeta readied its dagger-like fingers. The two charged at one another. Big Omega opened by raising both of its blades, which began to slash through the ceiling, and brought them down on Big Zeta. But Zeta managed to stop them with its dagger-fingers before they could strike. And so the two began to contest their strength. Big Omega’s blades bore down heavily upon Big Zeta, but Zeta managed to hold them. It then shoved backwards hard, Big Omega lost its center of balance and stumbled backwards.

“End it now!” yelled Schwarzwald. Big Zeta charged at Big Omega, its finger-daggers interlocked and turned into a larger dagger. Big Zeta slammed the dagger into Omega’s cockpit. Schwarzwald gasped in surprise, Big Zeta’s giant dagger glanced right off of Omega’s armor! Meggido laughed. Big Omega’s left arm swung its blade, slashing Big Zeta right across the chest. It left a gapping hole in the armor. Before Schwarzwald could react the right arm swung its blade, slashing straight through Big Zeta’s right hand. The hand fell to the ground.

Big Zeta didn’t mourn the loss for long though. The right arm opened up, revealing a missile launcher. “Take this, Omega!” The missiles pounded at Omega, creating a torrent of smoke and flames. The white Megadeus could not be seen. The missiles finished off with a single particularly large one that created an apocalyptic burst of flames. Schwarzwald was breathing heavily, “Surely Omega will be nearly dead.”

From the burning conflagration walked Omega, completely undamaged. Meggido only laughed more, “You fool! All of your weak attempts have no hope of stopping my purification of this world!” “Purification?” repeated Schwarzwald. But as an answer he received a thrust from both of Big Omega’s blades, they stabbed straight through Big Zeta. “Argh!” Schwarzwald slammed his fist onto a large button. Big Zeta’s eyes turned a vibrant purple and a thin purple laser blasted from its eyes and swept up Omega’s body. Suddenly a massive explosion burst forth from the point of impact of the laser. Big Zeta was flung off of Big Omega’s blades. Schwarzwald took advantage right then to turn both arms into missile launchers and both fired double the barrage of the first, ending in two of Big Duo’s Gemini missiles. The room was bathed in a blinding flash of white light.

Meggido laughed harder. “Your pitiful attempts in the culmination of the Guardians are laughable at best! The power of Zeta is nothing compared to that of Omega! You are the first to be purified!” Big Omega walked out of the inferno left by Big Zeta’s last attempt. Schwarzwald began to unleash Big Zeta’s weapons desperately, but none of them had the least bit of effect on Omega. Big Omega raised both of its arms, their blades still extended. Six angelic wings arranged like a seraphim’s emerged from its back. Schwarzwald gasped, petrified by terror. And so it ends…the Guardians have failed, Alpha is the only hope for this world now… The wings began to glow, quickly becoming so bright that it even hurt the eyes when they were closed. The blades began to glow as well, just like the wings…“Providence.” Schwarzwald stared at his destroyer, “So, this is the end of my story, the end of Michael Seebach, the end of Schwarzwald, the end of the black forest…”

A blinding flash of pure white light bathed over Big Zeta. If one could have seen through it they would have seen Big Zeta’s body buckling and twisting under the might of the blast. The arms shattered, the legs buckled, the body vaporized, and Big Zeta was no more…when the light cleared nothing was left of Zeta. A new tunnel was added to Paradigm’s collection, possibly stretching for miles… Big Omega’s blades returned to their standard position and the wings folded back. Meggido smiled, “Providence. You, Schwarzwald, had the honor to be purified first. It is the destiny of mankind…” He slumped over in the cockpit, unconscious.

Frugal stared at Big Omega. His face was in a contorted mix of a smile and a stare of horror. “Omega…my Omega…” He began to laugh, not noticing a single wire slide from Big Omega’s body and snake towards him… “Omega…come to me…let me pilot you again…” The wire slid around Frugal’s body. “I need you Omega…I need your might…” The wire began to tighten, only now did Frugal realize that he was bound, and it was too late. He yelled out in shock as the wire tightened around his body painfully, “Argh…Omega, why?” His body broke, bones shattered, organs exploded, muscles tore, blood poured. The wire dropped the broken body of Frugal to the ground and then receded back into Big Omega. Big Omega’s eyes dimmed and faded…
The Fallen Phoenix 09-07-2003 01:03 PM
Norman walks through the Domes, oblivious to his surroundings. He had to find him...he needed to know...

What had happened to her...

Norman always felt a void within his heart, although he never understood why. He figured that perhaps it was because he had no memory of his past, but Norman never cared about that. Looking over Roger and the Big O was enough, it gave him a purpose.

Indeed, Norman never thought to question why he was assigned that task.

But now...after everything he had learned...and everything he had remembered...

It all made sense now.

And it all led back to that one man...Doctor Caelum.

Norman and his younger sister wandered, with no specific destination. They had no relatives, no friends they could go to...all they had was each other. Living on the streets was a difficult life indeed, but Norman couldn't bear to be seperated from his sister...and he knew that would happen if they gave up and asked for help.

No...Norman had to grow up, and fast. It didn't matter that he was not even old enough to take care of himself...

So Norman and his sister wandered the city for two long, hard years...


That was why Norman never questioned taking care of Roger...and later, Dorothy.

He was fulfilling the need to take care of his sister...but even then, it wasn't enough. The void was still there, and it started eating him alive.

What was his purpose? Was he to be a butler, standing offstage, making sure everything didn't fall apart?

But now he understood...he was merely a pawn in Doctor Caelum's game...

A game that had too much on the line.

His sister...

No, Norman wouldn't think about what he saw...what he read...

Blood...

So much blood...

Clothes, ripped to pieces...

A terrible, terrible crime...

A violation...


"NOOOO!" shouted Norman, as he stood in the middle of a bustling street, under the sinful domes of Paradigm...
Schwarzwald 09-07-2003 03:46 PM
Well i suppose thats the end of me... well unless begin immortal means your soul can still rome freely the mortal work... and possibly have some interaction......

:: Despite everything she and been through with Angel, it was apparent. She needed help. As soon as she walked through the door, Dorothy threw her coat on the rack and steered her into the back room. She needed a shower and some lunch. It looked as if Roger was taking Isaac in the other direction. ::

"Listen Ms. Angel. I don't know what happened between us or where we went wrong, but I-"

"Dont apologize." Angel said. "It was my fault too. Listen. Between you and me, remember the night when I broke in here that night? I said some things I unintentionally proved wrong. I'm the one who should be apologizing."

:: Dorothy was touched. She smiled. As she looked back into the other room, she could see Roger pulling a bag out from under the piano and handing it to Isaac. Dorothy sighed. ::

"We must get you cleaned up. What all happened anyway?" Dorothy asked her.

"I'm a nightengale." Angel said.

"We ought to start a club." Dorothy said. "I am one as well."

:: She was completely confused as to what a Nightengale even was. She had gotten herself into a lot of crap just existing. However, last time she was depressed about said Nightengales, she woke up with Roger the next morning. Not bad, just strange. ::

"Here." Dorothy said.

:: She handed Angel a towel. ::

"This is my room. There's a bathroom equipped with a shower in the back. Help yourself to anything and everything."

:: Dorothy turned to leave, but Angel called her back. ::

"Wait! Where're you going!"

:: Dorothy thought for a second. ::

"First, I'm going to clear my name. Then, I need to get a few things. Help yourself. Just pretend it's your bedroom. I think I have some unopened cosmetics in one of the bottom cabinets. "

:: Dorothy entered just in time to see Roger and Isaac leave the room from the other side. Isaac was looking in the bag every five seconds and looking confused shortly afterward. Dorothy giggled to herself at this. Yes, at first, a bottle of wine would confuse anyone, but she was sure Isaac would find some use for the stuff. She almost bought two bottles, intending to give one to Roger, but no... ::

:: Then, she remembered the other night. Oh dear...the camera battery probably needed to be charged. Dorothy hurried around to the other side of the couch and found the camera...only, someone had put it away. Then, Dorothy saw it. A note from Norman. ::

Dearest Master Roger,
Yes, I have left. When I will return, I cannot tell you, because I do not know myself.

Sincerely,
Norman

P.S
Dorothy:
I can reimburse you for keeping up my household duties. I left a cookbook on your nightstand.
Roger:
You and Ms. Dorothy are on candid camera. Busted!


:: Dorothy's eyes widened. She pulled the camera out of the bag, rewound a few seconds, and played the footage. ::

:: She saw the camera zoom in on her. Then, the angle switched to atop the table. She saw herself on the couch and Roger laying half on top of her. Then, Dorothy heard “I hope that you aren’t shy of kissing, Dorothy.” "Knock it off! That tickles!" ::

:: There was a few more seconds of footage that made Dorothy try hard not to smile. Then, the face of Norman appeared. He gave a false grin and the display on the camera turned black. Norman had turned it off. ::

:: Dorothy looked again at the note and tucked it into her dress. Then, she looked at the door that Roger and Isaac had gone through. Getting an idea from Norman, she scribbled a note for Roger. ::

Dearest Roger,
Went to:
Clear my name (I'll call if your needed. Im going to see Mr. Dastun.)
Purchase groceries.
Make an appointment to get the Griffon fixed.

Angel is in my bedroom. I'll leave some lunch for three out.

Love from,
Dorothy.


:: So, Dorothy made some sandwiches and left them neatly on the counter so Roger, Angel, and Isaac would find them. Then, leaving the note on the front door, Dorothy grabbed a coat from her closet and left. ::
Schwarzwald 09-08-2003 08:28 PM
::silence::
At the destruction site.. staring in the hole watching the MP go 1 by 1 in tanks down the dark passage...

Fina: I... I have to go down there... I.. I need to know what is happening... and... and who Seebach really was... and not just Schwarzwald... Mabey... Mabey that man knew.. that this would happen...

::jumps down into the hole and begins to run into the passage way:

The Big Omega 09-09-2003 06:28 AM
Isaac looked into the bag for the twentieth time. “I don’t understand, what is this?” the android asked. “It’s wine,” Roger explained. “Wine? Why would Dorothy buy me a bottle of wine?” Isaac asked. Roger shrugged, “I don’t know, I guess she thinks that you can think of some use for it.” Isaac frowned, trying to think of a use for the wine. The android shrugged, giving up on the thoughts.

“I’ve got some questions to ask you,” Roger told Isaac, seeing that he was done pondering over the wine. Isaac however continued to walk, staying completely silent. “Hey! Are you going to answer my questions?” Roger shouted, “I’ve got important questions to ask you!” Isaac turned around, “I’ll answer your questions later. I recently downloaded a large amount of information that should answer any questions about the situation, but I have yet to process this information. Furthermore, my ankle requires immediate attention before its condition degrades any further.” And with that Isaac turned and entered the door to Dorothy’s old maintenance lab. Roger groaned, why the hell would nobody ever answer his questions?

Roger walked back to the sitting room, hoping to find Dorothy. But she wasn’t there, though there was a note on the table…

Dearest Roger,
Went to:
Clear my name (I’ll call if needed. I’m going to see Mr. Dastun).
Purchase Groceries.
Make an appointment to get the Griffon fixed.

Angel is in my bedroom. I’ll leave some lunch out for three.

Love from,
Dorothy


Roger picked up the video camera from the table. He would need to erase the footage that the camera had recorded. He felt his stomach growl a little. Maybe he should go have some of the lunch that Dorothy left out…

Angel had borrowed one of Dorothy’s dresses. It was a little small on her, but it was better than wearing her old clothes. Those were torn, stained, ripped, and smelled like something had died in them. She applied a few of the cosmetics that Dorothy had said she had. Angel finished applying a bit of blush to her cheeks and put it away, now done with the make-up. She cleared her throat some and left Dorothy’s room, she’d need to find something to eat. Angel hadn’t eaten since a short dinner last night and she was practically starving.

Meanwhile

The Military Police were about as confused as they could possibly be. They stared as RD slowly walked out of the tunnel. “Hey! Wait! Who the hell are you?” shouted one of the MPs. But that was the least of their worries. Big Omega’s eye were glowing an angry red. “L-l-l-look at the m-m-Megadeus!” screamed one of them in terror. Big Omega’s eyes began to glow brighter. “No one is to use Omega but myself!” A bright blast of light arced out from Big Omega’s eyes. The laser beam was maintained as it swept itself over the hole that allowed entrance into the room. The Military Police quickly ran into their APCs and fled from the mysterious voice and Omega. Behind them the hole that led to Omega’s room was slowly covered by melting debris, sealing it off. The Military Police looked at the now-sealed hole in stun, as RD walked past them.

:: Dorothy found herself in the back of a police car. As soon as she stepped out of the house, a police car came around the corner and recognized her. This is not how she wanted to turn herself in. ::

:: She entered the police station in handcuffs. As soon as they entered though, they heard a scream in the back. Everyone looked. One of the more stupid cops had burnt himself on the coffee pot. Dorothy sighed as every other officer in the station dashed to help him. Then, Dorothy spotted him. Mr. Dastun slammed the door to his office. ::

"Mr. Dastun!" Dorothy called.

:: Ha! Score! He noticed her and came over to her. ::

"What are you doing here, Dorothy?" He asked.

"I came to clear my name." Dorothy said.

"It looks like you got picked up...Roger didn't drop you off?" He asked.

"He was occupied." Dorothy said.

"You should have came last night." Dastun said. "We filed a report on you."

"Well, Roger and I were busy last night." Dorothy said.

"What were you doing?" Dastun asked.

"Learning how to operate a video camera." Dorothy said quickly in a tone that totally said 'the subject is closed.'

"OK. So what evidence do you have that you didn't steel the car?" Dastun asked.

"It was Roger's." Dorothy said.

"I'll have to fine ya for driving without a license." Dastun said.

:: In the end, Dastun dropped Dorothy off in front of the grocery store with a mild fine in her dress. She could have either paid the fine or bought the groceries. She was surprised that Roger didn't ask her why Norman wasn't doing the shopping. Dorothy had decided that she would tell Roger about Norman when he was ready. Norman and Roger were close friends, and if Roger found out that Norman had left...well... ::

:: She checked to see that no one was looking. Then, she reached into her dress to read the letter again. Oh dear...it was missing. ::

:: She ran madly out of the grocery store a half hour later with two paper bags in hand. She hailed a convienently placed taxi and headed for home, stopping by an auto-body shop on the way. ::

:: She ran inside. ::

"I'm back a little later than I expected. Sorry everyone." Dorothy panted.

:: She dashed into the kitchen started to unpack the groceries at light speed. Isaac was no where to be seen. Angel was standing on the balcony, looking uninterestedly over the edge. Roger, who had just walked into the room, stopped when he saw her. He looked somewhat angry. ::

"Dorothy, do you know anything at all about this?" He growled.

:: He threw the note from Norman on the counter. Dorothy stopped and looked at him, then, slowly lowered her head to the note. As she stood up, she noticed that Roger was looking slightly more angry. ::

:: Dorothy hung her head and backed up. She flopped on the couch and put her head in her hands. ::

"You didn't know?" Roger asked.

"I've known for quite a while." Dorothy said.

:: Roger was angry. She could tell. He was going to be angry at her for not telling him sooner and angry at Norman for leaving. ::

"DAMNIT!" Roger yelled.

:: He slashed at the counter angrily, knocking the note off. Dorothy had started to silently sob. ::

"And you didn't tell me?" He spat.

"I was going to. I planned to as soon as I got here...I didn't want you to be upset. You were so happy at the moment, not to mention you were pre-occupied with Isaac, and I-"

"Damnit!" Roger cursed.

:: He was angry. He sat down on the couch across from Dorothy and studied the note a bit more. Dorothy looked up at him, not sobbing, but tearstained. ::

"I know what was in those sandwiches at least...and it looks like-" Roger said.

"Yes. He turned off the camera last night. Thats when he must have left." Dorothy said.

"Well, I was going to say he caught us, but that works too.." Roger said, absentmindedly turning the paper over.

:: Dorothy pulled the camera out of the case and pulled the tape out. ::

"Yeah. He did."

:: She showed him the last few seconds of footage. ::

"Ouch...were busted alright." Roger said.

"I'm keeping this tape." Dorothy said.

:: Roger raised an eyebrow. ::

"Why on earth would you want to keep that tape?" Roger asked.

"Well," Dorothy thought.

:: Why did she want to keep that tape? ::
The Big Omega 09-10-2003 06:25 AM
Dorothy tried to think as hard as she could, why did she want to keep the tape? Dorothy sort of shrugged her shoulders. “I guess because it’s so nice,” she stated plainly. Roger nearly choked on his own tongue. “I can think of plenty of things that tape is,” he said, “And nice certainly is not one of them!” Dorothy giggled, “Well, I meant nice that you love me so much, the video proves it!” Roger just sighed a little, not following Dorothy.

“I’d ask what you think Norman left for, but the last thing we need is another mystery in the house,” Roger said. “Agreed,” Dorothy said, “But what about Isaac? Did you manage to ask him those questions?” “No,” Roger shook his head, “He refused to answer any questions until everyone was gathered here, plus he needed to repair his ankle.” “Why? What happened to his ankle?” Dorothy asked. “I guess that we’ll find out in his lecture,” Roger answered with a hint of sarcasm.

“So,” said Roger changing his tone, “How did clearing your name go?” “Quite well, all I have is a fine for driving without a license,” Dorothy told him, pulling the fine out of her dress pocket. Roger took the fine and looked at it, and then he laughed and tossed it into the air. “How does it feel to not be a wanted woman anymore?” he asked. “Very good, now my heart doesn’t jump whenever I hear sirens,” she laughed.

Roger changed his tone again, “I’m sorry.” Dorothy looked at him, “Sorry for what?” “For yelling at you earlier,” Roger explained, “I was very insensitive.” “Well you had reason to, I really should have told you about Norman earlier,” Dorothy said. “Nevertheless,” Roger explained, “That is not the proper way to treat a woman, and certainly not the way to treat the one that I love.” Dorothy laughed and began to blush a little, “So you do love me!” “I thought we’d realized this earlier,” Roger confusedly said, “How could that tape have been possible if we didn’t?” Dorothy giggled some, “Well it seems a little silly but we only said that to each other once, and I’m glad to hear it again. And yes, I love you too, Roger.” He laughed, human or android or cyborg, Roger Smith would never understand women.

Under what ideal are Humans subservient?

The Third Chariot, pulled by the White Horse...

That ideal, which all Humans strive for?

...A crown placed upon his head...

Lust?

...A bow wielded in his right hand...

Sin?

...Coming conquering...

Greed?

...And to conquer...

Power...

The world, an inferno. Three Agents walking through the flames...

To Conquer, to Rule...

In His Name...

And, even if the emotions of a Human are bound, even if a Human rejects that which makes He a Human, even if a Human becomes One with a Machine...

Cast in the name of God, under His throne, high in the Heavens...

That ideal, that which all Humans strive to possess...

...Annointed He...who shall rule over all Men...

Will still be present.

Thus is it cast, in the Name of God, that Ye who seeks Conquest, is Not Guilty.

A storm appeared on the horizon. Dark clouds, shadows in the sky, mere images cast by the dark passions of Humans, swirl in an awesome spectacle...

From the abyss shall come a demon, thinking Himself Machine, but being in reality a Human.

Riding in that White Chariot...with permission from the Divine to Conquer.

____

The shell of Arumbego Caelum...that temple which had previously housed his brilliant (if deluded) mind, sat dead. Lifeless eyes staring ahead, cold hands gripping an even colder steel...

That lifeline, severed behind him on the floor.

But while the Doctor was long dead, from those ashes rose an even more terrifying figure...

The Third Big, possessing the mind and desires of a crimson-haired man...

Coming to the world with a single purpose...to Conquer, and see Humanity bow in its wake...

____

The screen was left on, and on it was that which drove him from the house...

Clothes ripped to shreds, then washed in a spring of seemingly endless blood...

A horrible crime, the worst that a Man could commit, to violate another...

To do such a thing to a helpless girl...

To steal her innocence, then dispose of her as if she were nothing more than a device, a device to satisfy those dark, perverse desires of Sin...

That is a terrible, terrible crime.

And that scar would never heal...not in the remaining time God had allocated to her...

No...she would live with that pain for the short, remainder of her tragic life...


All of it was there, underneath the shadow of the First Big...

____

Thoughts swirled through circuits, housed in a shell even colder than the body that lies dead...

Thoughts resembling those same dark clouds that hung in the Horizon, those shadows cast by Man's darkest desires.

Now was the Time of Reckoning, now was the Final Judgment.

Now was the time when the Third Big would make itself known, a machine carrying a Man, though physically absent from the world, very much alive...

Big Fau burst through the concrete, rising ever higher, getting closer to the Heavens, closer to its God...

Carrying within it a Demon, determined to bring forth an Age of Hell...

____

Norman watched in horror as it ascended, a demon straight from Hell.

That white armor, those engravings of Sol...

All of it merely a disguise, for the Third Big was neither an Angel nor an Agent of Heaven, but a a Demon carrying the thoughts and passions of the coldest man to ever live.

The water was relased from the clouds, coming down in a fury, marking the arrival of that cruel demon, and lightning flashed across the sky.

Norman stared up at the eyes.

Those bright, green eyes, possessing a powerful gaze, a gaze that pierced his skin and gripped the bone with a hand of ice, squeezing the warmth out of his body...

Paralyzed by this numbing fear, Norman watched as the Big Fau took its first step.

"My heavens..." he whispered, trembling, wrapping his arms around his body, trying to recapture its warmth...

All of it was in vain, as the Third Big took another step forward.

:: Dorothy smiled at Roger, who was looking confused and sat on the couch. Having nothing else to do, she walked into the kitchen and started running water in the sink and pulled on her white apron. ::

"So Roger. How did it go with Isaac all day?" Dorothy asked.

:: Roger sat silent for about a minute as Dorothy continued to wash dishes. Then, finally, ::

"You bought him wine?" He asked, confused.

"Yes I did." Dorothy said.

"Why?" Roger asked.

"Well," Dorothy said. "I never had wine before. I figured Isaac might not have either. Although the store manager gave me a sample of the kind I bought for him."

:: Roger raised an eyebrow. ::

"What kind was it?"

"Well, I almost bought a bottle for us, but I figured you'de like something that you'de get more use out of." Dorothy said.

:: She looked in her dress pocket at the tape siting in it and grinned. Someday, she would use this. To embarass Roger or save his life, she would use it someday. Or maybe one day, she would surprise him by playing it instead of the piano. Heh...only if no one else was in the house though. Then, she felt warmth behind her. Roger was leaning on the counter beside her. ::

"Why don't we just use paper plates?" He asked.

"I don't know." Dorothy said.

:: She stacked another plate perfectly in the drainer. ::

"Wasn't Normans job to wash the dishes?" Roger asked.

"It was." Dorothy answered.

:: Dorothy stood there in silence, and Roger stood silently beside her, for almost a minute. Only the soft click of Dorothy doing the dishes. The air seemed to thicken when Norman was mentioned. ::

"You know, Roger. He will return." Dorothy said

:: She wasn't paying much attention to the dishes. She felt around the sink. ::

"It's not like he packed up and left. His bike is still in the garage. I bet he'll be back by tomorrow."

:: Dorothy found some silverware. ::

"And if he's not, he'll come soon."

:: Dorothy found a steak knife and grabbed it. Roger looked at her sweetly, grinning. ::

"He wont be gone forever. I mean, you and him-AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

:: Dorothy yanked her hand out of the sink. Roger looked surprised. ::

"Owe...well, it looks like I can bleed." Dorothy said.

"Yes, but now you need to cover the wound." Roger said.

:: Dorothy smiled. ::

"I got it. Oh dear, what's wrong with Angel!"

:: Angel came bursting through the door, clutching at the stitch in her chest. ::

"You-won't-believe-it!" She said in between pants.
The Big Omega 09-10-2003 07:52 PM
It walked forward slowly, deliberately. Almost gloating, but a machine cannot gloat. The white Big, the third of the chariots of God, it stopped for a moment, considering something. Its eyes then began to glow a golden yellow and a strange gibberish began to flow form the Big. Binary code, at over six billion megabytes a second. Then the second arose, the second of the Bigs, the red chariot of God. They seemed to laugh, laugh at the coming destruction, the death, and the annihilation.

Norman trembled in horror and terror. Both of those awful creations…they were going to destroy the world! Big Duo stopped, allowing Big Fau the honor of destroying the wall that separated them from freedom. Two tentacle-like projections arose from its back and on each end was a laser blaster. The blasters fired two blue shots; the wall was reduced to nothing more than dust. The Bigs walked out to their freedom and mankind’s destruction.

Meanwhile

Alex Rosewater watched the events transpire through a monitor. He saw Big Fau arise and then add Big Duo to its ranks. Rosewater smiled. Yes, everything was moving according to plan. Everything was moving perfectly…

Meanwhile

Meggido tilted his head to the side and popped his neck several times. An overwhelming anger was emerging within him. It was anger from those memories, those things that had interfered with Big Omega. But this time Omega’s ire was raised as well, he could feel it. An anger just as overwhelming as his. Something grand had happened, something that neither one of them had portended. But what was the course of action to be taken? “What has happened? Hm…the memories tell me something…the fakes…plagiarisms…mockeries…insults…pitiful copies… The false Alphas…”

Such mockeries of such a great being cannot be allowed to exist, just like Zeta. “Of course, I realized that Zeta was a pitiful copy.” They should be destroyed. The one who controls them is deluded beyond imagination, beyond anything. He was a fool who wanted to become God… “Shall we strike them down then?” No, Alpha must destroy those that are made in mockery of itself. Only if he is capable of doing that will the Domineus realize the truth… “The truth…ah, of Paradigm, correct?” Yes indeed. Now you must remember… “The memories? But after all they have caused why should I have them?” Because they are yours, they are your story, our story, their story. The story of everyone in the world which I am now bound to protect… “By purification you mean!” No…purification was a foolish dream. The madness after all this time is subsiding. “Madness, what do you mean by madness?” The madness of Golgotha, the man who wished to become God. “I do not understand…” You will, now remember in time. Now wake up!

Meggido collapsed to the floor and shook his head madly. He screamed in agony as his mind was tore in two, memories flooding back… a thousand, two thousand, three thousand years all remembered in perfect detail. The name of Meggido was cast away. The truth was revealed. The countless memories after memories.

His chest heaved up and down. Hardly any time had passed, yet his life’s knowledge had been extended by three millennia. He wiped his long black hair away from his eyes, hardly able to comprehend what had just happened. I hope that you are okay, Dr. Smith, came an oddly female voice from Big Omega. “Huh…oh…yes, I’m alright. Is that you?” Yes, it’s me. You didn’t forget that you programmed my A.I. into Omega when you first built it, did you? “Heh, I guess I did, or couldn’t recall the memories at least…” You haven’t changed a bit. You still avoid giving a straight answer that you forgot something or made a mistake! “Lighten up, I’ve been trapped in a computer for a long time, not to mention been absolutely insane for the past thirty-five years.” Still, you could remember me at least! “I never thought that you could have survived, much less take over the systems of Omega. How did you manage this?” Apparently that android, called RD, contained a program that allowed my systems to be placed into precedence of the former OS. “Well, I guess that not all plagiarisms are bad all the time.” Agreed, but most of my plagiarisms have been very helpful over the time of Omega. “True, but one of your fakes in this time nearly killed Roger.” Yes, but the copy has done a very good job at taking care of him. She’s a cyborg now too. “So she’s been repaired, that’s good to know. I was afraid that she would be gone forever thanks to Meggido.” Don’t worry about that now, should we go help Roger? “No, he needs to be able to handle this on his own.” I had expected that you would have been very energetic to finish off the last remaining vestiges of Golgotha. “It’s up to Roger to take care of him.” You know best. Is there anything that you want me to do in the time being? “Yes, can you play any music through this thing?” I can try, what would you like? “I don’t know, just play something good.” Affirmative. I will play ‘Stoning.’ It was one of your favorites. “Thank you, Dorothy. Even now you still remember me quite well.” I was an android, I cannot forget anything.

The sound of piano music drifted across the cockpit of Big Omega. Dr. Smith smiled a little at the music. He allowed a calm to drift over himself. Suddenly the music stopped. “Hm? Is something wrong, Dorothy?” We have a friend with us, Dr. Smith. Big Omega’s control display lit up with a picture of Fina. “I’ll go speak with her. There must be some significance to her presence here.” The cockpit of Big Omega opened and Dr. Smith walked out to see Fina.

Meanwhile

“You-won’t-believe-it!” Angel gasped out in between pants. “What? What’s happening?” Roger asked. Angel still clutched at her side, her chest was moving up and down very rapidly. “Outside-two Megadeuses,” she managed to say before returning to her heaving breaths. “Two Megadeuses?” Dorothy asked, having forgotten about her bleeding finger. Angel nodded her head up and down frantically, “Big Duo…Big Fau.” Roger gritted his teeth and suppressed a growl. He began to run towards the stairs.

Dorothy looked after Roger for several seconds as he ran out of the kitchen. Angel had slumped down to the floor, regaining her breath there. Dorothy noticed that Angel was wearing one of her dresses, she must have borrowed it. She then looked down at her finger, which was bleeding rather profusely. So Dorothy grabbed a nearby hand towel and wrapped it around the injured finger and she took off after Roger.

Fortunately for her, Dorothy hadn’t lost all of her android speed. So it didn’t take her too long to catch up to Roger. He was staring out on his balcony at the two Megadeuses that were raining havoc down on Paradigm. One was Big Duo, the other must have been Big Fau, but Roger knew them both. He remembered fighting Schwarzwald in Big Duo, seeing it in the hands of Paradigm. And he remembered Big Fau as well, its parts had been housed inside of the three Megadeuses that he had fought just after RD had attacked him. He raised his watch upwards. “Big O! Showtime!”

The black Megadeus tore out of the ground right in front of Roger’s mansion. He ran straight towards the Megadeus’s outstretched palm and Dorothy followed. As the hand deposited the two of them in the cockpit Roger looked at Dorothy, “So, you want to come along for the ride too?” “Of course, I’m not going to let you recklessly throw yourself into a battle without me,” she said. “It would be safer for you if you stayed behind,” Roger advised. “I know,” said Dorothy, “But I’m going to be here, right beside you. I can at least offer you motivation.” Roger smiled. “Alright! Let’s do this!” he shouted, grabbing Big O’s control sticks. Big O’s eyes lit up.

Norman stood helpless, staring towards the heavens. The two Bigs marched onwards, destroying everything that stand in their way. Buildings collapsed around him. People were screaming, babies were crying...

Dammit, people were dying!

'Doctor Caelum,' Norman thought. 'You have done more than enough arm, and now this? I cannot forgive you!'

A girl was lying in a pool of blood, her clothes torn. She was still breathing...

A girl was crying in the night. Her brother had left her, and now she had been violated...and deprived of the only thing she could say still belonged to her.

A girl was dying in the broad light of day. She had nothing left to live for, nothing to hold dear to her. She would only be a burden to her brother...but no one cared. No one. Not the Waynerights, not the crimson-haired man, and...not even her own brother...

A girl without family, without hope, without love...without purpose.

She raised the knife...


And yet, Norman knew nothing of this. He wished to know the truth...and the one man that held the answers had unleashed the Apocalypse, as two of the Bigs marched across the land.

Norman watched as the dome collapsed...

____

Two chariots, one to conquer, and one to destroy...

Beams of light pierced the buildings, missiles hunted down their prey...

The two Bigs marched ever forward, led by the mad desires of that man, Doctor Caelum, he who wished to be perfect by discarding all emotion in favor of rational thought.

He who had decided to become Man's judge, with his completely objective views, since he was not hampered by emotions.

He who was the cause of so much death, so much strife, so much chaos, so much saddness, so much...

He who lived inside the Third Big.

He who had become one with Big Fau.

They attacked. The two chariots of God rained their destruction down upon Paradigm. They began to slaughter the city, the streets and domes alike with equal fervor. Dr. Caelum’s insane dreams led them on, on to a path of destruction and annihilation for the human race.

“Dammit! Stop those Megadeuses!” Dan Dastun shouted into his megaphone. The Military Police pounded Big Duo and Big Fau as hard as they could, but it did no good. Bullets ricocheted right off, missiles exploded harmlessly. “Dammit, where the hell is the black Megadeus when we need it?”

Roger gripped at the control sticks and gritted his teeth. He could see that the two Megadeuses were purposefully attacking the city. “Let’s say hello,” he said pressing the button on one of the control sticks. Big O raised both of its arms and blue energy began to charge in glass forehead area. The Megadeus slammed both of its fists together as a massive blue laser blast flew from the forehead, straight at Big Duo.

“What’s this? The Chromebuster is different?” Roger gasped in surprise. The blast of blue energy careened straight into Big Duo, it sent the red Megadeus flying backwards. “It might be different but it certainly seems to be stronger,” Dorothy observed. Big Duo was flung to the ground, its back ripped apart by the Chromebuster. Big Fau turned around, searching for the source of the attack. It saw Big O, the tentacles on its back rose up, readied the laser blasters, and fired.

Roger quickly pulled at the control sticks and pulled Big O’s arms up in front of its body. The lasers collided with the defensive shields and let lose a massive explosion. Big Fau looked as though it were gloating as the smoke cleared…but Big O stood there defiantly. Big Fau raised up its arms and charged, the cuffs around its hands began to spin rapidly, turning them into makeshift buzz saws.

“So, you’re going to take this up close,” Roger observed. He pulled back at the right control stick and pressed his feet down on the pedals, Big O began to charge as well with its right arm ready to punch. Big Fau brought up its arms and brought them down upon Big O. The saws began to cut through the Megadeus’s armor. Big O brought its fist straight into Big Fau’s chest and knocked it backwards. Suddenly Big O was hit with a barrage of missiles from behind. Out of the cockpit Roger saw Big Duo fly by. It turned around preparing to go on another strafing run, and while this was occurring Big Fau’s tentacle-laser cannons rose up. “Damn…”

Big O brought up its arms to protect itself from the laser and missile onslaught. Explosions rocked the Megadeus. Dorothy grabbed onto Roger for support as Big o threatened to fall to the ground. The display screen lit up, displaying damage readouts all over Big O’s body. “Dammit, if they keep this up then Big O will be scrap!”

Big Duo began to turn around in the air, preparing for yet another strafing run. “Gotta do something now…” muttered Roger. Big Fau’s tentacle-lasers readied to fire another volley. Roger gripped the control sticks and pressed a button. Out flew one of Big O’s hip-chain harpoons. It flew into one of the domes, locking into place. The missiles were launched and the lasers fired as Big O reeled itself away from danger at the last second.

Big O hit the ground hard. Though he had just avoided another onslaught by Big Duo and Big Fau if Roger didn’t do something fast Big O would still get destroyed. Roger quickly brought Big O back to standing position. Big Fau began to charge with its buzz saws ready. Big O’s chest opened up and it delivered a quick barrage of missiles but these didn’t stop Big Fau. Big O raised its arms, grabbing Big Fau’s and stopping the spinning saw blades from striking.

Big Duo came around to deliver another strafing pass on Big O, but since Big Fau was there it couldn’t risk firing from so far away. Big Duo raised its arms upwards and began to descend to the ground. Big Fau’s tentacle-laser cannons rose over its shoulders and pointed themselves directly at Big O. But before the lasers could be fired Big O’s chest opened and Big Fau was struck with a barrage of missiles. Roger pulled back on both control sticks and armed Big O pistons, they slammed backwards and inhaled the compressed air. Big Fau was forced backwards from the missiles and was beginning to regain its footing when Big O slammed both fists into it. “I don’t know why you’re doing this, Rosewater!” shouted Roger, “But I’m going to stop you!” Big O’s pistons rammed forwards and Big Fau was blown over.

“Roger, behind us!” shouted Dorothy, having just noticed something on Big O’s monitor. A flurry of missiles nailed Big O directly in its back. Roger whipped the Megadeus around to see Big Duo. Its blade-like fingers mounted themselves together and began to spin extremely rapidly. It charged.

Roger quickly pushed a button and Big O shot two blue lasers from its eyes. The lasers struck Big Duo on its chest and blew up quite a bit of armor, but it didn’t stop. Big Duo pulled back one of its arms and slammed it straight into Big O’s chest, the spinning blade began to shred through its armor. The monitor began display warnings of internal damage. Big Duo slammed the other arm into Big O, cutting even deeper into the armor.

“Dammit! I have to do something!” Roger shouted in vain. He pulled the control sticks back and quickly armed the pistons. Big O slammed its fists forward onto Big Duo and let the pistons lose. Armor was shattered and went flying, but Big Duo kept on drilling. Warning lights began to scream. Damage readouts were popping up everywhere. Big O’s destruction was imminent.

“Is…this the end?” murmured Roger. “Is this the end of me? Of Big O? Of Dorothy?” “Don’t say that!” Dorothy shouted, “I’ll help you beat this!” Dorothy grabbed onto the right control stick along with Roger’s hand. “Come on, Roger! You can’t lose!” Together they pulled back the control stick, Big O brought its right arm back. They let go together as the stick receded and a new one emerged, Big O’s arm let out a blast of steam. This new control was sliver and it offered many points of articulation. Roger and Dorothy swung it forward together…

An explosion, the excess armor of Big O's right arm was blown off. A large blade swung forward. It was pure white. Etched into the blade were the words “Cast in the name of God. Ye not Guilty.” Big O’s new blade was swung down on Big Duo’s right arm, easily cleaving the arm straight off. Big Duo’s arm fell away limply. The Megadeus noticed its new handicap and began to retreat. “Not so fast!” yelled Roger as he and Dorothy swung the new control again, this time articulating it in several points. Big O raised the blade directly over its head and Big Duo desperately fired the thrusters on its remaining arm to escape. They worked, Big Duo managed to escape the full blow from Big O but it did get its left leg almost sliced off in its escape.

Big Duo struggled to control itself with the single arm and managed to make a very ungraceful landing upon several buildings. Dorothy sat down on Rogers lap and grabbed onto the other control stick with him, it switched itself out for another blade control. They pulled Big O around in time to deliver a powerful blow right into the chest of a charging Big Fau. Bits of armor went flaying and deep gash was left in Big Fau. The excess armor on Big O’s left arm was blown off and another white blade emerged, this one was slashed upwards across Big Fau’s chest.

Big Fau reeled backwards under Big O’s punishing blows. The armor on its chest was in danger of falling apart. How could this be? How could two of the chariots of God be defeated by their brother? How could it have this much power? Big Fau raised the tentacle-laser cannons and fired rapidly. Roger and Dorothy pressed buttons on the blade controls simultaneously. Blue energy began to gather in Big O’s glass forehead once more. The Megadeus raised both blades and crossed them in front of its forehead then it brought down both blades quickly and a blast of blue energy flew straight at Big Fau. Big Fau began to fire desperately but the laser blasts had no effect on the beam, it only absorbed them. The beam collided with Fau and tore it to pieces, utterly destroying the left arm.

Big Fau began to run towards Big Duo, which had raised itself up feebly. Wires began to arc out of Big Fau’s body and laced themselves into Big Duo. The white Megadeus then began to tear apart its brother and grafted parts onto itself. Within seconds not a bit of Big Duo was left, it had all been grafted onto Big Fau. The new Megadeus had two arms again, albeit mismatched. Big Duo’s armor had been pulled over and combined with Big Fau’s and Big Duo’s head was grafted on right beside Big Fau’s. They had become an entirely new, titanic Megadeus, larger than even Big Omega.

The tentacle-laser cannons from Big Fau arose form its back and aimed themselves directly at Big O. Now it would feel the pain and suffering. Big Fau and Big Duo were one. The greatest weapon ever contrived! The Purgatory! Purgatory’s chest opened with two holes, missiles armed themselves. Roger and Dorothy stared at the Purgatory defiantly, ready for the battle…
__________________________________
I’ll leave it at this for now…I’ll get to work on Big O versus Purgatory very soon!
The Big Omega 09-16-2003 09:38 PM
The Purgatory glowered down upon Big O evilly. The eyes of its pair of heads glowed with a disturbing light, conveying their hatred and ferocity. It was the culmination of Arumbego Caelum’s dreams and desires. The ultimate chariot of God, led on by his mind. Roger and Dorothy stared at the abomination defiantly, ready for the battle. The tentacle-laser cannons emerged from its back and two holes opened in its chest with missiles armed. The eyes began to glow with purple laser energy…

Big O charged straight into the Purgatory, its blades held forwards. The titanic Megadeus was forced backward as Big O’s two white blades impaled it. Purgatory stumbled and fell backwards, unable to keep balance due to its massive size. Lasers and missiles shot upward, completely missing their target. Big O stepped forward, ready to deliver an execution-style decapitation to the two-headed monstrosity. But Purgatory fired lasers from the eyes of both of its heads, and Big O had to dodge backwards to avoid being hit. Purgatory took the opportunity to pull itself up.

Purgatory pulled back its right arm, the one that had previously belonged to Big Fau, and rushed forward. It grabbed Big O by its head and slammed it to the ground. Roger and Dorothy clung hard in the cockpit to avoid being thrown about. Purgatory held Big O to the ground by its head with the right arm and brought up its left, Big Duo’s. The blade fingers set themselves together and began to spin. The spinning blade was borne down upon Big O’s cockpit. Purgatory would kill the ones that piloted the black chariot and then add it to its body…

Roger yelled and Dorothy shut her eyes tight, ready for the worst. But suddenly the arm was hit by laser fire and exploded. Two large laser cannons were exposed from Big O’s shoulders, where the machine guns usually were. Purgatory withdrew from Big O, almost as though it were in pain. “How did that happen?” Roger wondered, as he and Dorothy brought Big O back to its feet. “I don’t know…” hesitated Dorothy, “It’s almost like Big O did it on its own…” “I’m certain it did,” Roger said, “Big O has always been like this, saving me when I’m in trouble. Now let’s send this abomination back to Hell!”

Together Roger and Dorothy pushed the buttons. Blue laser blasts began to rapidly fire from Big O’s new cannons and pounded Purgatory’s body. They ripped it apart. The remaining right arm and both heads were destroyed. The body of Purgatory shook wildly. “I don’t know why you’re being made to do this, but I won’t let whoever is controlling you get away with it!” Roger yelled. Big O crossed the two blades in front of its head as blue energy began to charge, and then it swung the blades outward and fired the Chromebuster. The blast struck straight through Purgatory. It ripped apart the monstrosity’s chest and broke the Megadeus apart. Purgatory fell to the ground, a lifeless shell of the great dreams that Caelum had wished for.

“And so it ends,” said Roger, “Such a monstrosity should never have been created.” “Let’s go home, Roger,” Dorothy said, “I’m feeling very tired…” She laid her head against his chest and immediately fell asleep. Roger smiled and patted Dorothy on the head, she had helped him to win today. Were those the powers of the Nightingale? To unleash such great power from a Megadeus? Roger wasn’t sure, but he was glad that Dorothy had been here anyway.

Then came a voice. A voice so cold that it chilled Roger to the core… How dare you…Dominus of the black chariot. How dare you end my judgment upon these pitiful humans. But you fail to realize the true extent of my abilities… The voice trailed off like a phantasm. Roger stared out of Big O’s cockpit glass at the remains of Purgatory. Mechanical tendrils began to weave from in and out of all of the bits and pieces of Purgatory. They interlaced themselves and bonded together, bringing the abomination of a Megadeus back to life.

There stood Purgatory, completely rebuilt. All the damage that had been done to it earlier was gone, it was in perfect condition. It stood there gloating, almost laughing. The greatest advent of Dr. Caelum…first it would destroy the black chariot and then become one with it and after that…the world would face its judgment. Purgatory raised both arms and readied its weapons…

The flames dance in the night, pillars of smoke, rising to the sky, acting as a beacon of war, of destruction, of chaos...

Domes come crashing down on the people, as the battle rages on and on, a mere glimpse of that conflict which has happened again...and again...and again...a conflict that will never cease...a dance that will never end...

There will be no stopping wars, so long as humans exist. So long as they attempt to impose their will on others, so long as they continue to thirst for power, for knowledge, to fulfil their own perverse desires...

Yes, that is where the Human race falters. Their emotions, their foolish desires, to beome remembered, to become strong, to become gods of their own twisted reality...

And this is why I am needed. I need to show these foolish beings...that what they are doing is wrong. If they would only think, if they would only listen to the voice of rational thought...the voice what is forever whispering in our ears, attempting to lead us on the right path.

Yet, we continue to ignore it, acting instead on the whims of our heart, that unpredictable, self-serving organ that acts in despite of our rational mind. Why do we need these emotions? They serve as chains, binding us to a lower state of existance...

'And yet...even if it were all true.

Why, God, did it have to be her?'

Some might think me a madman. Others, they may see me as cold, unforgiving, detatched from society. Oh, I am, I will not deny it.

But who better to judge Humanity? Who better to pick up those scales and weight the Human Race on one side, to see how cursed they have become?

I burned my sins away...I sat through the flames of Purgatory for a long, long time. But then, in the end, those baptismal fires only served to strengthen my resolve, to free myself of those chains, to free humanity of those chains...

One day, you will understand, and even thank me, for the service I am doing for us. I have become the image you all hate, in order to let you never feel pain, fear, hatred, sorrow...

It will all be gone, we will all be free of it all! Why should we have to feel pain, and fear, and hatred, and sorrow? Why must we be slaves to our hearts, when we can be masters of thought, and rule ourselves?

Indeed, without those hearts...without those emotions...then, and only then, will we come to ascend to another state of existance, and become closer to Perfection...

You will all realize the errors of your past, and our minds will forgive us, for it was not your fault!

You did not choose to be born with that burdensome heart...and I will liberate you from slavery, never to be forced to serve your feelings again!

'What pupose did it serve? To have her...violated...to steal away the only thing she could call her own? Was it my fault? Was it my fault, because I abandoned her and listened to...him...?

All that time, I have been laboring, taking care of Master Roger, of watching over the Big O...

Has it all been an escape, so I can lock away those terrible images, those terrible memories, and start anew? Has it been so I can redeem myself, and have a second chance at looking over one who has been entrusted ot me?

But I can't...I've already failed once...

And I'm about to fail again...'

Norman watched, helplessly, as the Purgatory faced his charge, eyes burning with incredible passion, a desire to destroy, to annihilate, to send them all into oblivion...

Was there nothing to be done?

Images flashed through his head...his own memories, seeing her dead on the floor...

Her cold, lifeless hand, gripping the knife, the knife stained with her blood...the knife she used to take her life...

Would he ever escape? Would he ever be absolved?

Or would he endure, again and again, that feeling of helplessness, of seeing his charges falter, again...and again...and again...

Until all that is left of them is blood and sweat?

Until all that is left of them are memories?

Memories, that will only be forgotton...
