Total Calamity Robot Book 1.2- NEXUS

by Lucny Dauphin

  “…You…Arata Noshino…” says Kyo.

  “…Where…where’d you get that battle armor?!” shouts Arata.

  “…It appears you’re heavily injured. I advise you, and Harumi Watanabe to get out of my way before you two really die,” replies Kyo.

  “Don’t give me that shit, we’re fine!” shouts Arata.

  “Clearly you’re limping. Harumi must still be unconscious. I’m surprised you got to your feet. You’re quite the powerful soldier, but right now you two need to get out of here,” says Kyo.

  “She’ll be back on her feet in no time! I don’t know if Kimiko’s been hiding something or what, but if you’re an ally, go help the soldiers out of the rubble, as well as the civilians!” says Arata.

  “I’m warning you once, and only once. Take your comrade, and leave back to H.Q. If you don’t, I’ll do it by force,” says Kyo, turning his head forward and walking towards where he sent the titan flying. Arata looks on in shock but then grows angry watching Kyo fly off.

  “You…! Who the fuck do you think you are”—

  “Arata…he’s right,” says a female voice.

  A shocked Arata turns and finds Harumi limping towards him, with blood running down her face.

  “I agree with him…! I don’t know where the guy got that armor from…but right now we have to leave. We’re too hurt to keep going on like this. One more strike and we’re done for…” says Harumi.

  “…Damn it! How did it come to this! How the hell did that guy even get such a thing?!” shouts angry Arata before clenching his teeth, holding on to his left shoulder, clearly in pain.

  Harumi suddenly puts Arata’s left arm around her shoulder and proceeds to pull both up off the ground. Kyo watches as Harumi slowly flies Arata out of the area.

  “…Good girl…” says Kyo, smirking.

  Moments later, as Harumi and Arata have left the scene, solar bots crash down around Kyo. Kyo puts his visor helmet back on, as his helmet’s eyes flash. The solar bots waste no time and charge after him.

  Suddenly, Kyo unveils two wrist-mounted long blue beam swords. Kyo begins swinging his arms, easily slashing the solar bots to bits. More of them come after Kyo, but Kyo easily evades their attacks, slashing them all in the process with swift action. The Titan suddenly lets out a hellacious roar and bolts out the rubble, gunning for Kyo. As Kyo slashes down the last solar bot, Kyo wastes no time and opens his left hand forward towards the titan who’s running towards him fast.

  Kyo charges a large blue electrical energy ball, and before the titan could even pull its fist back, Kyo fires off the electrical blue energy ball. The electrical energy ball collides with the titan’s chest, causing it to go flying straight up in the air before it is engulfed in a massive fiery explosion. Kyo watches the large puff of black smoke in the sky silently…before he flies towards it.

  Kyo flies into the dark smoke and finds the titan quickly coming for him. The titan begins throwing fast punches towards Kyo, but Kyo easily sways his body left to right, dodging the titan’s attacks. Kyo quickly sends his knee crashing against the titan’s chin, pushing it back. As the titan floats back with his head struck back, Kyo quickly floats forward and begins throwing an impressive speedy amount of punches towards the titan’s stomach. Kyo keeps going with the punches, to the point cracks begin appearing all over the titan’s body. Kyo ends the rapid punching by upper cutting the titan and finishing it by sending his left leg crashing against the titan’s skull, making it crash to the ground.

  Kyo quickly floats back down to the ground. As soon as Kyo’s feet hit the ground, the damaged titan charges after Kyo once more, letting out a hellacious roar in the process. Kyo once again opens his left hand out forward towards the titan. Kyo stands there in this position, and as the titan gets closer and closer, Kyo’s eyes clench a bit, before he unleashes a massive blue energy wave, engulfing the titan seconds before it could ram him.

  The massive energy wave ends up deteriorating the titan to nothing. The energy wave disintegrates, and Kyo lowers his arm, finding the titan nowhere in sight. Only the more damaging effects the beam wave caused to the city. Kyo looks at the hand that unleashed the massive energy waves and begins chuckling.

  “…Heh…my destiny has now been chosen…!” says Kyo.

  “…H-…help…me…!” says an injured man.

  Kyo looks to his left to where the source of this man’s voice was. Kyo opens his right hand forward towards a pile of rubble and sends a blue energy shot out, causing debris to fly out everywhere. Underneath that rubble was a dynasty soldier, lying there weak. The Dynasty soldier slowly raises its head and finds Kyo there standing before him.

  “…W-whoa…! A new soldier…!” says the weakened Dynasty soldier.

  Kyo pulls the man off of the ground and gets him back to his feet. The soldier stands wobbling, but steady.

  “…Are you a new member of the Assassin Enforcers…?” asks the soldier.

  “…No,” replies Kyo.

  “…No? Are you part of Dynasty or…?” says the confused soldier.

  “…No,” replies Kyo.

  “…Then what are you then?” questions the soldier.

  “…Call me, Nexus,” says Kyo.

  “…Nexus?” says the soldier in confusion.

  “I am the true connection to the broken land that is Galaxus…” says Kyo, “Brave soldier…if I were you…I’d leave Dynasty.”

  “Huh? Why’d you say that?” asked the soldier.

  “They aren’t doing you right. They don’t truly respect the sacrifice you put in. You all must rest, as I’ll be the protector of Galaxus now…” replies Kyo, with a serious look on his face behind the helmet.

  [Dynasty of Spheres H.Q./ Sickbay]

  Arata and Harumi are both in the medical room on their beds, covered in many bandages.

  “…Just what the hell is going on?! The same man that was acting foolishly to be Mr. Hero actually gets a battle armor…and saves the day?” says an angry Arata.

  “…Please Arata, save your strength for something else…” says a weak Harumi.

  “Brother! We have to track down this man at all costs! Clearly, he isn’t associated with us, is he?” says Arata toward a man, wearing an all-black suit with many gold badges placed on the upper right side of his jacket. The man was tall and had quite a large muscular physique. He had long black spiky hair, black eyes, and a diamond ring on his right ring finger. Arata’s brother isn’t paying attention to Arata’s venting, watching the medics wheel in many injured soldiers.

  “…Motakai!” shouts Arata.

  “What do you want Arata?” says Motakai, turning to Arata with an irritated look on his face.

  “We have to track that guy down”-

  “Listen, don’t worry about that. Just be glad that he saved the both of you guys,” Replies Motakai, cutting Arata off.

  “But you will take care of this issue, correct?!” says Arata.

  “Of course, we will. For now, though, he appears to be an ally, so we’re in safe hands. He took down the titan quite easily, as a matter of fact, showing amazing power,” Replies Motakai.

  “Amazing power…?” says a surprised Harumi. Arata, however, sucked his teeth at what he’s heard.

  “Indeed. Please, you have to rest for a while. The rest of the soldiers are now on a dispatch to save the other soldiers trapped under debris…as well as dead bodies. Thanks to that young guy the target is eliminated and the solar bots are now gone. We can now proceed to save those injured. That’s all, coming from your chief,” says Motakai before walking out of the room.

  [Dynasty of Spheres H.Q./ Monitor Room]

  Kimiko, along with her operators, witnesses the massive land of Atlas be engulfed into a purple electrical field.

  “What the fuck…? This is bad…!” says Kimiko, putting her two fingers on her lips, observing the main monitor.

  “We can get no communication from Dynasty Atlas as well,” Says an operator.

 
“…Man, these solar bots are coming down at us hard, and even a brand-new menacing bot appeared,” says another operator.

  “Yes…I can’t believe the Assassin Enforcers were literally close to dying…!” says a tearful female operator.

  “Then the hero comes out of nowhere and saves them. It appears he calls himself ‘Nexus’. It’s weird, he vanished, and we lost him just like that after he spoke with the soldier,” says another female operator.

  “He is the connection to Galaxus. The sole protector…” thought Kimiko, “…Well Mr. Nexus…you’re going to have to do our work, for now, …since we need some serious work to do…maybe you can take over for a bit…”

  [Tojisa City]

  Sunset has now arrived. Kyo walks on his way home and is shocked to find Shina and his friends by his house. Kyo quickly lowers his right jacket sleeve to cover his wrist device.

  “Kyo, you’re alive!” shouts a tearful Shina, running over and hugging Kyo.

  “S-Shina…c’mon…” says an embarrassed Kyo.

  “Damn Kyo, we called you like a hundred times, what the fuck happened?!” shouts Shina, slapping Kyo on the head.

  “Ow! Don’t do that!” shouts Kyo, rubbing his head.

  “…Kyo, you look bruised up in some places,” says Zack.

  “Yeah…did you get caught in the crossfire or something?” says Zeke.

  “…Yeah, you can say that. My bike got fucked up too…” says Kyo, walking past his friends and heading towards his home.

  “Hey, did you hear? Atlas is doomed!” says Shina, following Kyo.

  “Yeah, plus more cities in Galaxus are completely torn down. Assassin Enforcers got wrecked and everything!” says Zack.

  “Yup…more proof our Dynasty of Spheres is shit,” Says Kyo, opening the door and walking inside with his friends following from behind.

  “And then there’s this new guy named Nexus,” says Shina.

  “…Nexus?” says Kyo, putting his backpack on the couch and heading towards the kitchen.

  “Yeah, he calls himself the sole protector of Galaxus and apparently isn’t associated with the Assassin Enforcers or even Dynasty. He’s like solo,” Replies Shina.

  “Is that right?” says Kyo with a smirk, pulling a bag of food out of the fridge.

  “Yup. Hey, let me get some!” says Shina, walking towards Kyo.

  “Hands off!” shouts Kyo, pushing Shina back.

  The two begin fighting over the bag of food as Zack and Zeke relax on the couch. With such a chaotic day, the pair of friends finally relaxes in the end, lucky to be alive…

  Chapter End

  Chapter 16

  Problem

  [Kyo Hayashi Residence]

  Kyo is in his room relaxing on his bed, viewing his laptop while also having the T.V. on. Quite a normal day to him after what’s transpired.

  “It’s now been a day since the tragic events of what’s transpired in Kamati, Tojisa, and even the land of Atlas. Atlas has now been encircled in a bubble, with purple fog inside of it. It is unclear what the state of Atlas is at the moment, as It is almost unrecognizable. It has been reported that the civilians of Atlas have been moved to an Underground Facility until the officials of Atlas take further action,” Reported the Reporter on the T.V.

  “Underground…? I never knew Atlas had an Underground Base. To take everyone in that land underground is incredible…” says Kyo, moving his finger up on the touchpad.

  “Kamati has suffered 50% of total damage, while Tojisa suffered 70% of total damage. Soldiers and civilians are all pulling together to help pull those still trapped under the rubble. Motakai Noshino, Chief Army Executive of the Dynasty of Spheres Galaxus Region, held a conference earlier this morning to address the issues that's transpired,” continues the reporter, “Here’s the clip,”

  “First, I want to say that Arata Noshino and Harumi Watanabe of the Assassin Enforcers are ok, but barely made it out. They encountered a strong mechanical solar bot alien that we’ve never seen before. That one alien was able to destroy most of Tojisa City alone. The two of them fought their hardest, but we’re nearly at the brink of death. Luckily, someone saved them and eliminated the major threat. This person here, who names himself ‘Nexus’, is our hero,” says Motakai.

  A hologram monitor pops up next to Motakai, revealing the Nexus warrior attacking the solar bots and the titan.

  “Whoever you are Mr. Nexus, I want to tell you: Thank you. However, I ask that you please turn yourself in to the Dynasty of Spheres, or even contact us when you get a chance. You seem to not be affiliated with us at all, so we’re not sure if you’re an alien helping us, or a civilian who happens to have a great mind to build such a thing in your secret hideout. We would like to discuss matters with you into joining the Dynasty of Spheres, and aiding us in the war against the Solars. If you’re watching this, please take this into consideration. As of now, Dynasty is still actively improving to make our land a stronger and safer place for everyone,” says Motakai.

  “Like you’re ever going to improve…” says Kyo after scoffing.

  Suddenly, a knock arrives at Kyo’s door. Kyo quickly gets up and heads over to open the door.

  Kyo opens the door and finds Shina and his friends at his front door.

  “If you’re ready to head out, let’s go eat,” says Shina, putting her finger on Kyo’s chest.

  “…Sure,” says Kyo, shrugging.

   [Tojisa City/ The Burger Joint]

  Kyo and friends are seated at a fast food restaurant, enjoying themselves a simple order of French fries and a hamburger with a large cup of soda.

  “Now, as for right now, our school is closed, and I don’t know when the fuck it’s going to open again,” Explained Shina before taking a bite out of her burger.

  “Did most people make it out of there?” questions Kyo.

  “Surprisingly yeah, thanks to the SOLDIERS you didn’t have faith in,” replies Shina, rolling her eyes at Kyo. Kyo rolled his eyes back at her and stuffed a few fries into his mouth.

  “Of course lives were lost…but it could’ve been way more worst. Most people already evacuated before most of Tojisa got fucked up,” says Zack.

  “Good thing that blue suited warrior saved the day,” says Zeke before taking a huge bite out of his burger and stuffing a handful of fries into his mouth.

  “…Damn Zeke, did you ever get on that weight plan I told you about?” says Shina, sending a curious look towards Zeke.

  “…Uh, yeah?” says Zeke.

  “Hmm…so what meal plan are you on besides what you’re eating now?” asks Shina.

  “…Umm…I think it was…l-listen, that’s not important right now! The important topic is that the Assassin Enforcers were once again, near the brink of death,” replies Zeke.

  “Whoever that person is, he or she can be a great help to Assassin Enforcers. The Calamita Team has 3 members, Giga has 3, and the S.E.AL. actually, has 4 members! Two is not looking too good right with the attacks getting bigger and bigger lately,” says Zack.

  Kyo continues eating in silence, as Shina looks at him with a curious look on her face before continuing to eat herself.

  “…Hey, I never asked you Kyo. Where were you after you left? And what exactly happened to your bike?” asks Shina.

  “…One of the solar bots trashed my bike. That’s how I got the scars,” replies Kyo.

  “R-Really?! Holy shit!” says a shocked Shina.

  “Luckily one of the soldiers swooped down and beat it down before it could come after me next. After that…I had to uh…just walk home. Long walk too. And my phone was out of battery, that’s why I couldn’t answer,” replies Kyo.

  “…Huh…well ok then,” says Shina, shrugging and picking up a fry.

   [Dynasty of Spheres H.Q./ Motakai Noshino’s Office]

  Motakai Noshino is seated at his desk full of stacked papers, including many family photos on his wall, including a larger portrait of him and Kimiko smiling and holding hands.
Motakai was signing papers while Arata and Harumi were seated in front of Motakai’s desk, patiently waiting for Motakai to finish. The both of them had quite an amount of bandages mainly on their cheeks and arms. Next to the two of them was Kimiko, standing there, arms crossed, looking annoyed at something, possibly Motakai since her eyes were locked onto him.

  “…Motakai can you fucking start?” says Kimiko.

  “…Yes dear. Sorry for making you all wait,” says Motakai, slowly setting the pen down.

  Motakai pulls out a long black stick from under his desk. Motakai sets the long black stick standing on his desk, and presses a small button on the top of the stick. The stick ends up stretching out two and reveals a hologram monitor. They all witness Nexus’s conversation with Arata. Arata watches in anger, as everyone else looks quite focused, observing the footage.

  “…I know that voice clearly. It was the young guy who stole Zacky’s morpher after he was killed,” says Harumi.

  “So, it was him…” says Kimiko.

  “Damn guy wanted to be a hero and start joining the soldiers in the mission,” Says Arata.

  “Interesting. Harumi, do you remember what he looked like?” questions Motakai.

  “…Yes…he had red hair and a silver jacket. Green eyes…cannot remember anything else, though,” replies Harumi.

  “Could you get a name?” questions Motakai.

  “Could not gather a name,” replies Harumi.

  “Ok, so the kid had red hair with a silver jacket and stole Zacky’s morpher. Going to get to work on it right now. Harumi, come with me,” says Kimiko before walking out and slamming the door.

  “…Did you do something Motakai? She slammed the door pretty rough,” says Harumi.

  “…I forgot our anniversary was today…” says a saddened Motakai, lowering his head.

  “Shame,” says Arata, shaking his head.
