\u201cOkay, where\u2019s this a.i you need repairing?\u201d asked Twelve once we finished our story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHere,\u201d replied GLaDOS. \u201cI have a morality core that needs uninstalling.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNice try,\u201d commented Thirteen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe\u2019s over here,\u201d explained Lukas as he and Sento wheeled X-PO\u2019s body in on a stretcher. \u201cCan you help us fix him?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo problem,\u201d replied Ten. \u201cK-9 used to do this all the time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
X-PO\u2019s repairs were taking a while. The Special Weapons Dalek, Ab, was guarding the door, moving his gun back and forth to ward us off. \u201cWhat\u2019s the deal with that Dalek?\u201d I muttered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is a Special Weapons Dalek,\u201d said Tetley the Dalek as he served tea. I accepted a cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou seem to get twitchy whenever you look at Ab,\u201d I observed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAll Daleks do,\u201d explained Rusty as she approached us. \u201cSpecial Weapons Daleks are usually categorized as insane, especially by those that created them. I was one such Dalek, during the Dalek Civil War, between the Renegades and the Davros loyal Imperials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Daleks had a civil war?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd guess what it was about?\u201d quizzed Rusty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGenetics?\u201d I guessed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cExactly,\u201d confirmed Rusty. \u201cBoth factions hated each other\u2019s chromosomes. I was one of the developers of the Special Weapons Dalek in the Imperial Faction. Davros himself decreed its creation. Only Daleks in the Scientific Division were aware of its development. It was designed to have only one function: extermination.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHence, why it has no plunger arm,\u201d I guessed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRight again,\u201d confirmed Rusty. \u201cIts first act of destruction was the annihilation of the original Renegade Faction, those that didn\u2019t escape Skaro. It destroyed to order, but…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c…But?\u201d I invited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut,\u201d continued Rusty, \u201cas it fired, the first backwash of radiation ravaged its body and mind. Every time it\u2019s fought, its chromosomes alter. It became, no, it IS twisted and insane!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYour experiments,\u201d argued Tetley, \u201cwere successful. It was with the aid of the Special Weapons Dalek that the Renegade Emperor and his retinue were destroyed in their control room. It has served in all crucial campaigns: Pa Jass-Gutrik<\/em>, the war of vengeance against the Movellans; Pa Jaski-Thal<\/em>, the liquidation war against the Thals; and Pa Jass-Vortan<\/em>, the time campaign, the war to end all wars.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYes, and,\u201d countered Rusty, \u201ceach time, it has become more uncontrollable. We of that original Scientific Division simply dubbed it the Abomination, hence why it\u2019s called Ab.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI am aware of that designation,\u201d replied Ab as his gun pointed at Rusty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPoint it elsewhere,\u201d I commanded. \u201cI\u2019m not having another Dalek Civil War. We have bigger problems than that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI obey,\u201d responded Ab. Rusty released a sigh of relief. Just then, a voice came into our ears that filled our hearts with joy! It was X-PO\u2019s voice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAwesome! Well done!\u201d called X-PO from the room. He and his repair crew joined us and I gave him a huge hug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEasy on the shell!\u201d warned the Doctor. \u201cHe\u2019s not as able to handle stress as he once was!\u201d I released him and contented myself with some tea. Batman had coffee and dunked a doughnut in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGLaDOS,\u201d he rasped, \u201chave you figured out a safe way to get us back to Foundation Prime?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYes,\u201d replied GLaDOS. \u201cDo not concern yourself. There is zero chance of my being harmed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat does it matter?\u201d asked Gandalf. \u201cLord Vortech controls the very fabric of all worlds! He\u2019s invulnerable!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat if he wasn\u2019t IN a world?\u201d I asked. \u201cRemember when he trapped us?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOh, what\u2019s good for the goose,\u201d replied Seven, \u201cis good for the schoolboy, eh?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGander,\u201d corrected Death. \u201cAnd it could work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHold on a sec,\u201d interrupted X-PO, \u201cyou\u2019re talking about trapping Lord Vortech in a rift loop?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019d have to be flawless though,\u201d remarked Twelve. \u201cNot like that shoddy one I rescued you lot from.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCan you do it?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m the Doctor!\u201d replied Thirteen. \u201cAnd you\u2019ve got a lot of me and a brilliant technical staff. We might be able to.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWas it four or five sugars, Doctor?\u201d asked Tetley as he brought more tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI recommend we stop shillyshallying,\u201d remarked One, \u201cand get on with the calculations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOkay, we\u2019ll keep Vortech busy,\u201d I said. \u201cRiders, those that have them, final form time. We\u2019re gonna need all the power we can muster.\u201d Everyone took out their respective transformation trinkets while Hongo struck his pose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRider…\u201d he began.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHenshin!\u201d we all finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cA-MA-ZON!\u201d called Daisuke as he became Amazon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCharge Up!\u201d announced Stronger. The S on his chest spun and he gained silver trim. Kabuto then grabbed the Hyper Zecter out of thin air again<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHyper cast off!\u201d he called<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHyper cast off!\u201d called the Zecter. The horn got bigger and his armor got bulkier. \u201cChange Hyper Beetle!\u201d called the Zecter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cClimax Form!\u201d called Den-O\u2019s phone as he attached it and the Imagin piled on. Kiva inserted another whistle, fuestle, I mean, and summoned a dragon that could fit on his forearm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTension Fortissimo!\u201d called the dragon as it broke the chains on Kiva\u2019s shoulders and leg, allowing a cape to unfurl, his armor became gold, his eyes went red, and a small crown appeared between the eyes. \u201cHenshin!\u201d called the dragon as it attached itself to Kiva\u2019s left forearm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKamen Ride: Decade!\u201d called the Decadriver. Once he was ready, Decade took out a phone and slid a card into it, touching it nine times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKuuga, Agito, Ryuki, Faiz, Blade, Hibiki, Kabuto, Den-O, Kiva!\u201d called the phone. Decade then pressed a button. \u201cFinal Kamen Ride: Decade!\u201d He then gained pink eyes and a card on his head while a sash of all final forms lined his shoulders. He placed the pink part onto his right hip and put the phone into the pink part\u2019s usual place<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cXTREME!\u201d called the W Driver once it absorbed Phillip and opened up. W became CycloneJoker Xtreme again. OOO used the purple medals and scanned them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPTERA! TRICERA! TYRANNO! Putotyrannosaurus!\u201d called the OOO Driver as he utilized the Putotyra Combo. Fourze inserted a new switch where the rocket switch would be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCosmic!\u201d announced the Fourze Driver. He pulled down on the switch\u2019s cover and pressed the button. \u201cCosmic on!\u201d announced the belt. Fourze\u2019s suit went sky-blue as the numbers of all the Astro-switches appeared on his chest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cINFINITY, PLEASE!\u201d shouted the WizarDriver. \u201cHI-SUI-FU-DO, BOU-ZABA-BYU-DOGON!\u201d Wizard\u2019s armor was more diamond like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFruit basket!\u201d announced Gaim\u2019s Sengoku Driver. All metal fruits appeared and merged with him as he inserted it into his Lockseed. \u201cLock open! Kiwami (Extreme) Arms! Dai Dai Dai Dai Shogun!\u201d (Mighty Warlord). Gaim looked more like a silver clad Shogun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDrive! Type: Tridoron!\u201d announced the Drive Driver. Drive\u2019s new armor looked more like his car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCho Kaigan: Mugen!\u201d (Infinity) announced the Ghost Driver. Angelic rock music played as it chanted. \u201cKeep Going! Go, Go, Go! Go, Go, Go! Go, Go, Go! Gotta Ghost!” His suit was white with angled shoulder pads and a rainbow horn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHyper Muteki!\u201d (Muteki means Invincible) announced Emu\u2019s Gashat. He then attached it to the side of the Gashat already in his belt. \u201cDocking!\u201d announced the belt. He then pressed the button on top. \u201cBakk\u0101n! (Open!) Muteki! Kagayake! Ryuusei no Gotoku! Ougon no Saikyou Gamer! (Shine bright! Like a true shooting star! The ultimate gamer, clad in gold!) Hyper Muteki Ex-Aid!\u201d His form was similar to mine, but he was all gold and had long hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGACH\u0100N! Mazaru Up! (Mix it up!)\u201d called Parado\u2019s new Gamer Driver as he opened it. \u201cAkai kobushi tsuyosa! Aoi Puzzle rensa! Aka to ao no kousa! (Red fist strength! Blu puzzle chain! Red and blue crossing!) Perfect Knock Out!” Para-DX was now a mix of red and blue with spiky hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGACH\u0100N! LEVEL UP!\u201d called Brave\u2019s Gamer Driver as he inserted Taddle Legacy. The jingle sounded a lot like Taddle Quest. \u201cTaddle Rekishi! Mezameru Kishi! (Embrace the legacy! Awaken your chivalry!) Taddle Legacy!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGreat! All yeah!\u201d said Build\u2019s new yellow and blue, two slot occupying Fullbottle. Build put it into the belt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGenius!\u201d it announced. Build then turned the crank and it looped on \u201cYeah! Yeah!\u201d before asking \u201cARE YOU READY?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBuild up!\u201d ordered Build. His armor was now white as red shaded Fullbottles lined his left eye, his right arm, and his left leg, while blue shaded Fullbottles line the remaining extremities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKanzen Muketsu no Bottle Yar\u014d!\u201d (The Completely Flawless Bottle Guy!) called the belt. \u201cBuild Genius! Sugei! Monosugei!\u201d (Amazing! Simply amazing!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDai Super Charge!\u201d My armor bulked and flew off, revealing Kamen Rider Vortex. \u201cAre we ready?!\u201d I called. Everyone cheered. \u201cGLaDOS, the safe path, if you please.\u201d GLaDOS beamed the information into my helmet. \u201cMinna, let\u2019s go! CHARGE!\u201d I opened a path and led us all down the path GLaDOS gave us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cOkay, where\u2019s this a.i you need repairing?\u201d asked Twelve once we finished our story. \u201cHere,\u201d replied GLaDOS. \u201cI have a morality core that needs uninstalling.\u201d \u201cNice try,\u201d commented Thirteen. \u201cHe\u2019s over here,\u201d explained Lukas as he and Sento wheeled X-PO\u2019s body in on a stretcher. \u201cCan you help us fix him?\u201d \u201cNo problem,\u201d replied Ten.
