I thought my Facebook feed leaked onto KHV
Looking at Tron, Stratos asked, "so uh, just what is the arcade anyway?" Ton stroked his chin as he tried to explain. "I don't know how to explain it properly. But to put it into terms, I'd day the Arcade is a community. Digital worlds brought together to please the User." "Please the user?" Hikaru asked. "The ones who control the system of course. It helps give our lives more purpose.... But you know... I can see why Sark would want to leave that world behind. The thought of some one controlling your every action, may to some seem... unwanted." Hikaru himself wasn't exactly excited about the idea of being a digital slave. "But I don't see it that way. The user doesn't use me as a puppet. But as an extension of themselves. To fight where they aren't able. From the youngest child to the oldest man, I serve to fight on their behalf. Before Sark came along, the games were just about fighting and recompiling elsewhere-" "You can respawn! I mean... recompile," Hikaru said relieved. "But again, Sark made that impossible for us. He made the game deadly. As the administrator of this system, it was my responsibility to keep peace. And after this ordeal, I assure you, I will never let my control fall into the hands of some one like Sark again." He held his hand over his chest where his heart would be. "And while that is much power to carry, I take solace in knowing that just across the arcade is a duplicate of myself to do the same thing. The right thing." Hikaru held his arm. He was just a duplicate himself of some one. "But... doesn't that make you feel a bit... expendable?" "Of course not. While it's true, we may have been strung from the same source code, it does not mean we are identical." "But that kind of sounds like you are..." Tron shook his head. "The secret to what makes us so different, is this..." He gestured to the world around them. "The world and people you meet. The ones you make you stronger, and the ones who let you change. Some upgrade faster than others, while some choose to stay as they are. As programs who are confined to this arcade, we are given the option to choose. And that is why I choose to believe I am not a slave to the users." Tron's disc began to glow. "I fight FOR the users!" In the Grid, CLU was aggressively firing his canons at the group, who seemed to ignore them and was fixated on Rinzler. Luna and Kaida reprogrammed their scouting discs to earth, showing a glowing brown color while the rest of their team also prepared their final onslaught. Ignis had already upgraded and Beuce magnified his next attack. With Rinzler's overclock ability, he was prepared to counter and prepare his own massive damage. "Finish them off Rinzler!" CLU yelled from his tower. As Rinzler prepared his discs, a flash of light blue began to flicker on his circuitry. Quickly flashing from orange to light blue for a split seconds. In Rinzler's mind, the words of Space Paranoids Tron began to echo in his mind. I fight for the users! While it was only a second in his head, Rinzler hesitated, and received the full force of the party. Kaida and Luna let loose their scouting discs as Rinzler was knocked back. Ignis' cross slash put the last bit of pressure on him before setting off Beuce's seeker mines, and exploding Rinzler to be blown back in mid air, landing on his back. SP Tron was beginning to connect to him. All his experiences and memories were being seen by Rinzler as he muttered out names. "Aislinn... Kel... Stratos... Hikaru..." I... Fight for the users..." his words trailed as Rinzler collapsed and lost consciousness. The arena doors opened, as CLU had taken an elevator down quickly to confront the group. Behind him were a small militia of black guards, obeying his command. "Programs, consider this fight officially over! You were entertaining at first, but now you are a glitch in my perfect system!" He looked at the passed out Rinzler. "It appears Rinzler is being contacted by his other half in Space Paranoids. No matter. I still have Tron's ID Disc. And so long as I hold it, this system is still mine!" He snapped his fingers as the black guard took battle position. "Game Over. Prepare to be de-rezzed." MISSION START
As the towering Sark leaned over them, he gritted his teeth. He was at his maximum potential and was being worn down, by what he considered to be lesser programs. In the battle's second rotation, Stratos laid another bombardment of Seeker Mine that struck Sark's feet, causing him to lose balance and try and regain vision. There was little time to, as Kel charged in with a powerful and explosive punch to the chest, knocking him back. Sark charged forward passed the smoke, causing Hikaru to react. "Oh no you don't!" He took his stand and unleashed a torrent of water, causing his circuits to fry, and his arms to glitch out. Sark was being overpowered. All he could do was shield his eyes from the onslaught. Before he could charge up and recover more health, Aislinn had already readied her next attack. "Nice try," she said with a bit of a wicked smile. Slashes of light were made from her cross slash, wearing down the large program. "Insolent little- AGHH!!" Before he could finish his insult, Stratos had already launched his fourth set of Mines, completely depleting his MP. Passed the smoke from the explozive mines, Kel made uppercut slashes past his legs, chest, and eventually; his head and a powerful hit to the helmet, cracking it. Sark's patience was nearing it's end, his hand extending to crush Kel before he could land. A desire that was immediately shut down from Hikaru's pillars of light he summoned from his faith command. Blinded by the light, Aislinn rushed in for a powerful hit to the leg, finally causing the titanic Sark to fall onto a knee. Catching his breath, thoughts raced through his mind. He tried to speak between gasps. "You... you are all basic! Insignifant! Outmoded! Your code is corrupt and infects us all!" From behind the party, Tron walked forward. "The only infection I see here is you Sark!" He held his scouting disc in front of him, as he prepared the final blow. "I AM COMMANDER SARK! THIS SYSTEM SHALL SUFFER WITHOUT MY GUIDANCE!" Light begin to glow from from Tron's disc as he blankly and without hesitation stated. "Running Executable." With those words, a beam of Light fired at Sark as he began his deletion process before their eyes. His data being de-rezzed pixel by pixel. "I.... am..." were Sark's last words before fading. "Obsolete," Tron finished, grabbing his scouting disc and turning to the group. "Thank you all. Aislinn. Kel. Stratos. Hikaru." He noted each of them as he offered the scouting disc. "All of Sark's functions have been put back into my disc. Once I access the terminal, I'll be able to get the password for you. It was a deal after all!" he smiled. "Unfortunately, to access the terminal, my counterpart, must also be within range." The group looked confused. "Sorry, what I mean to say is this game is connected to 'The Grid.' Another game in the arcade. Until they finish the game, I'm unable to access the administrative controls. I'm more than happy to answer any questions you still have while you're waiting. FIX IT FELIX JR "Why not? It gives me something to do," AJ replied. X looked down on himself and shrugged. "Doesn't sound very driven. But I'm not one to talk. Between you and me, I don' even know why I'm in the Mark of Mastery. My token for entry was my identity. My appearance, my memories, everything that made me who I am- I mean... who I was." He looked at his gloved hands. "Now everything that I am is just a reflection of someone's own personal experiences. He took down his hood and looked at AJ. "Who do you see when I look at you without the hood?" Spoiler His appearance was that of Hikaru, but he still kept the same tone and voice as someone with an unrecognizable deeper voice. "I look like the kid with blue hair right? That's why I keep this hoof on. I don't know why I look like him. Is he a friend or an enemy? Am I a copy of him or is he one of me? It's just... frustrating. Not to have or know... anything." He put the hood back on and looked at AJ. "That's why I move on. To find out the truth. And finally get some peace of mind. I mean... I don't even know my own name." The two of them had exited Fix-it-Felix Jr's game and were right in front of the Hero's Duty terminal. Game central station was covered in powerful dents and scuffs. "Yikes. What happened here?" X asked.
