V2 Chapter 1 - Archmega
Medana patrols the city riding a giant robot dog she invented. Now she was on a highway, riding on the back of a large metal dog.
"Hey Silver Knight. What's with the ride?"
A passing citizen waved to the silver knight. Medana also waved goodbye to the man.
These days, sbe felt relieved because of the welfare of her robot dog. At least she don't have to worry about running around in the city. she just have to ride the black dog on it back like a horse. In other words, instead of a medieval equestrian hero, Medana became a dog-riding hero.
The black dog was almost the size of a real horse, with a shiny black body and sharp metal teeth. Medana invested millions of dollars from the Paladin Corporation into the robot. The body is soaked in zect, and the nails, the teeth, and the sharp, spear-like tip of the tail were made using real zect metal.
An artificial intelligence like Amy has been installed to enable automatic driving and movement, and it is called Seberstein. Medana's previous energy core, Archetype 01, was installed, and as an assistant robot, it had very high combat power. After the robot was invented, Amy automatically became a housekeeping robot.
"Miss, just ride me, don't try to ride that big dog." When Amy heard that Seberstein was going to be used as a sled dog, she couldn't help but protest against it. However, Medana's answer is...
"I can't ride you with that doll body. I'll break your back if I'm in the Silver Knight suit. Stay home and iron my clothes." Medana's touching words left Amy who is crying at home. Amy is an assistant robot, but she is not very good at fighting. The costume for Amy was already made, but it wasn't as powerful as she thought it would be.
It looks just like the human-sized Evangelion doll that adorns at the plaza.
While on patrol, the police radio sounded an alarm. Police Officer Linda's voice came out.
"Hey Silver Knight, villains are attacking the New York Museum of Natural History. Hurry up!"
Medana was amazed. Villains robbing banks is not unusual these days. But this is the first time she heard of a robbery at the Natural History Museum.
"I will come, tell me the information about the villain."
Medana asked Seberstein to turn towards the natural history museum, and she bent over and stayed in a position close to the dog's waist so that she could be affected by the force of the wind. The silver warrior's current look is too magnificent and looks like a real medieval knight. The dog robot is also very fast, on par with B-level speed-oriented Mutants, so it's like driving a racing car. If the Void Streams are turned on, Medana herself can run like that, but not for long.
"The villain's name is Archmega. Coincidentally, he's a tech-specialized hero like you. He has an A+ rating and a suit that can fly. He breaks into natural history museums in many countries and steals the meteorite crystals stored in the museum. Most of the cases are just ordinary thefts, but the New York museum has tight security and it's difficult to shoplift, so it seems that he decided to use violence."
Medana also thought about Linda's explanation. The New York Museum of Natural History shows common meteorites, unique natural phenomena, and houses many rare plant specimens, including mutant meteorites.
Many of the current meteorites have been absorbed and used by people and are now rare and are no longer seen by people. Meteorites that have been confiscated by the government by scientists are kept in museums as a commemoration of the beginning of the mutant era. Therefore, for those without the power of the Mutants, these museums were a mouth-watering place, attracting many meteorite-smuggling supervillains.
By the time Medana arrived at the scene, the NYPD and SWAT team had already arrived and surrounded the museum from the outside. Some of the SWAT officers were wearing MP01 suits and were on alert. However, as much as they look, they don't seem to have any intention of entering.
Police officer Linda stood next to a middle-aged man with bully eyes in a police colonel's uniform and waved when she saw the silver soldier.
"Silver Knight, I'm here." Medana went to Linda. Linda introduced the police chief.
"Silver Knight, this is my superior, Colonel Sladeen."
Silver Knight looked at the sheriff and asked. "How's the situation, sir?"
"Like Captain Linda said, you don't say much. Well, my son. Some of the other heroes arrived before you, but as you can see, it's all over in the ambulance. Luckily, Archmega has no intention of killing. He promised us he'd leave once his case was over, but we can't do that. There's a law. Even though we have MP01s, he's A+, so we need your help. Can you?"
"I've fought with A ranks before, but I'm not sure I can win. I'll try to keep them from running away. It would be good to call for help at that time."
The silver warrior said in a slow tone and patted the black dog's head. "Seberstein, I'm going."
"Wo...Wo..." The black dog took one look at Medana, then his eyes became bright and he barked in full style. However, the dog's barking sounds like it was done on purpose.
"Wait, isn't it the same tone as in the morning?" Medana looked at it for a moment, but then shook her head. It is also possible that the audio system is experiencing an error during the testing period.
....
In container houseing.
A girl with dark skin and wearing a maid's outfit was walking around the yard on all fours legs on the floor. Finally, she went to the other side of the room, where Aunt Oliver was still sleeping, and jumped onto Aunt Oliver's bed, Then...
"Whoah...Whoah..." she barked and curled up at the foot of the bed. Aunt Oliver opened her eyes and gently stroked Amy's head.
"Medana is very bad. I don't know if she made her maid live like a dog."
....
Medana entered the museum slowly. Seberstein also came to the side and casually looked around. The arrival of the super villains caused many people to run wild, leaving their wallets and purses behind. Umbrellas, water bottles, and other trinkets were scattered on the floor.
The super villain Archmega seems pretty weird. The other robbers may have taken hostages for their own safety but even the security personnel were taken lightly. If one don't know, it's like taking something that belongs to him back.
Medana came down the corridor. Through her suit system, she used the sonar system to examine the enemy in the museum. But nothing was found.
"What... did he run away?" It wasn't until Medana thought that thought that she noticed a very small abnormal signal from the meteorite room.
"Is this a legendary stealth technique?" Medana had heard that some American planes had such technology. Even a large old V2 aircraft passing by would only appear as a flock of seagulls on sonar and radar systems.
Incredulous, Medana asked the suit's system to search for information about Archmega. Not long after, she saw news about Archmega from news media from all over the world.
'The Archmega flew through Russia's airspace, but the Russian Air Force could not track it.' A detailed description of Archmega's costume was included in the report.
Archmega was at least eight feet tall and looked nothing like Medana's human-sized suit. It's even bigger and reminds her of the robots from Transformers. Complete with small missile systems and gun systems, the weapons system is much more than Medana's silver warrior. In addition to the stealth system, it still has a jet engine and a pair of airplane wings.
Medana was surprised. "Chee... The guy who built this suit looks like he's going to be pretty rich. That self-made missile system is over twenty million dollars." Let's not forget that even Medana's newly upgraded Silver Knight suit cost a mere six million dollars.
Medana slowly approached the meteorite hall where the signal of a mouse was. She could only pray that the enemy suit didn't have a 360° warning system like hers.
Medana peered into the room beyond the open oak doors. The nearly eight-foot-tall robot is working hard to hack into a high-security glass box. Inside the box was a green meteorite.
Because the advanced security boxes use the highest American technology, it would take about half an hour to hack for even Medana, so Archmega would also take a long time. What made her even more excited was that Archmega hadn't noticed her yet.
"Looks like it doesn't have a 360° alert system." Medana positioned her body like a runner about to run a marathon, and rushed in with the zect sword ready in hand. Her blade aimed straight at Archmega's missile system.
'Even though I've replaced the main parts of my suit with zect metal plates, it can be bad if I get shot by a missile system. The missile system must be destroyed quickly.'
However, as soon as Medana entered the room, her vision changed immediately. As if her body was grasped by something, she rose up into the air. At the same time, Archmega, who was trying to unlock the safe, was transformed into a hologram and disappeared.
"What…" Medana looked at the person holding her, and it was Archmega waiting for her against the wall. Even her ambient warning system failed to notice the giant robot.
"Looks like you don't have the visual system to distinguish the real from the fake."
"I thought you didn't have a perimeter warning system."
"My techniques are higher than yours, girl."
Archmega raised his knee and grabbed Silver Knight and slammed her down. Medana winced due to the intense pain. If it wasn't for the suit, she would have broken her bones.
Medana, who had fallen to the ground, used up all her strength and got back up. Even as Archmega stepped forward to kick, Seberstein, who was watching by the side, jumped over her.
"You're going to fight me one on one." Archmega yelled as he grabbed Seberstein's mouth with his hands and held it down. Because Archmega is a big robot, it is stronger even if it is not as fast as Silver Knight. Seberstein didn't think anything until he scratched back with his claws, trying his best from escape Archmega's grasp.
Archmega tore Seberstein's mouth open. The metal teeth did not do anything, but they fell out at the joint of the jaw and could no longer bite. Then, the iron robot threw Seberstein's body like a desk and kicked her before she fell to the ground.
Boom...
Seberstein collided with a large wall and the entire wall collapsed. It doesn't look like she will be able to get back up in a short time.
Medana fired a series of electromagnetic fields from her forearm at the Archmega. Archmega protected only one arm by shaking it accordingly. The electricity didn't seem to affect him in the slightest.
Soon, all the electromagnetic fields were fired. A dry laugh came out from within Archmega, and he said mockingly.
"Is that what New York's most famous hero is?" However, Medana inside the silver warrior's suit also laughed.
'Looks like you don't have a combat support system like mine.' An electromagnetic field was attached to the rope of a giant lamppost mounted on the ceiling. Medana's early firing of the magnetic fields continuously was to mask the firing.
"Come back." Medana used the magnetic force from the electromagnetic field slot. All the magnetic rings that were shot came back, and the magnetic ring that was attached to the light signal cable was pulled as if the cable was cut.
The giant glass lantern has fallen.
Crack ..... Archmega fell to his knees as the heavy brass lantern closed with the sound of shattering glass. Medana drew the iron sword and ran forward with all her might.
The tip of the sword was aimed straight at Archmega's chest, where the Energy Core could be.
Archmega, who was trying to get back up with his arms, trow the lantern and grabbed the sword with both hands.
Medana's sword could not advance any further. At the same time, Archmega couldn't get back up because of the heavy pressure.
"Not every stronger power wins a battle." Medana said as she put more strength in her arm. The tip of the sword moved forward about an inch.
"Hahahaha... You're just like me, Silver Knight. You use your wits to defeat your enemies. But... it's still not enough."
Four gun holes opened up from Archmega's palm. Then, with a squealing sound, he launched a small weapon that was attached to a steel wire and small iron bars. It looks like a swinging weapon used to sew up a horse's leg in ancient times.
The steel cable caught Medana's body and released a powerful electric current, causing Medana to fall down and the sword fell out of her hand.
"A tech hero need to have a trump card so he can defend his opponents. You still need it."
Archmega ran into Medana with all his might. Medana also cursed in her mind. Even though she was using electromagnetic fields, her metal suit didn't have an electrical resistance system.
There was a momentary delay until Seberstein tried to help and Archmega threw her with another back hook.
"Elohim, keep that dog down. It's bothering me."
"Yes, sir." Before Medana knew it, a third person entered the room. A middle-aged man covered in a large black cloak that covered his head stretched out his hand, and the robot arm extended out due to the metal chain and grasped Seberstein's throat. Then he pulled the rope back and grabbed Seberstein with that.
"Elohim?, why are you helping a villain?"
Medana was surprised because she immediately recognized the robot hand. When they stormed Aizawa's underground lab, Elohim was there and helped them. That didn't seem like it until she thought he was an unlicensed hero like her.
"I never called myself a hero."
She saw some strange atoms coming out of Elohim's robot eye, and it looked very dangerous. He stood next to Archmega. Seberstein got up again and stood next to Medana.
"I don't want to kill a hero today, just take this sword as a warning. Don't get in our way again."
Archmega spread his hand. After the white mist gathered in his hand, it turned into a small sword. Then cut Medana into pieces.
Medana also raised her arms and tried to defend herself, but the blade missed her and hit the meteor cabinet behind her, causing a huge explosion with white light and burning to ashes.
Just as Medana regained consciousness, Archmega shot open the roof with another lightsaber, then spread his airship wings and took off into the air. Elohim followed, hooking Archmega's shoulder with his robotic hand. Medana was left alone on the ground.
Since she didn't use Void Stream Mode, It still can't say that Medana used it to its full potential. However, Medana did not follow and stood still. Her lack of a flight system is one reason, but earlier she was blindsided by weapon technology.
"What's that weapon technology? Light particles assembled into weapons? New weapon technology related to nuclear or quantum technology?"
Unfortunately, despite being a powerful tech mage, Medana had never even heard the name of that technology. In her mind, she set Archmega as an easy person. Hadn't Medana herself been aware that if she actually hit Archmega with her throw as a warning, her suit would be damaged and her life would be in danger?
"Is the saying that a mountain is higher than another mountain is true?"
