Previously on One Cycle…
The sudden death of her mother Wa-N-Da lead R0-RY Archy down a dark, criminal path. After being arrested for destruction of property she was bailed out of prison by her grand father Pat-Ree who forced her into spying on her grandmother Mat-Ree’s new charity to rebuild destroyed homes from the recent flood of Ultra City.
Hired immediately upon applying as an intern, R0-RY discovered that an excavation of a site lead to the unearthing of her father Antag’s remains. R0-RY confiscated the remains, working tirelessly to rebuild and resurrect the father she never knew.
R0-RY was successful in bringing her father to life but he was only fueled by his desire for revenge against the brother who killed him. Willing to oblige him, she purchased a nuclear missile.
Ultra City’s citizens were devastated by the flood and craved leadership. Pat-Ree stepped up to fill that position, supported by his family until his son Protag discovered his father was directly involved in the flood. Tired of his repeated treachery, Protag challenged Pat-Ree in public, creating Ultra City’s first presidential election.
Seeing how low his approval ratings were compared to his son’s, Pat-Ree had his best friend and assistant Syd-Kik sneak into his campaign headquarters where Protag’s adopted son Arch-Ie discovered him.
Le-Thario, the youngest of the Archy Family had repeated nightmares after a home invasion left him for dead. Working through his trauma, he graduated from the police Academy and was given Officer Kris-Ti as his partner.
Kris-Ti was a shifter and the daughter of Max-Imo the ruthless entrepreneur who despised the Archy Family, years ago, going as far as to kidnap Protag as an infant, switching him with his own son Bel-Tron.
Le-Thario and Kris-Ti were at odds until they saved each other during a chaotic raid of Ultra City’s drug cartel; sparking a clandestine romance.
Doctor Hugh Mann, the last survivor of the human race and KVXIV Pat-Ree’s daughter and president of the Archy Corporation had been married a year. They were expecting their first child when Hugh was abducted by business rival Bar-0ne Dan-Ger and held for ransom. KVXIV raced to her husbands rescue, quickly dispatching Bar-0ne when she went into labor.
And now …
Protag Campaign headquarters was at an all time high. Since the polls had opened this morning he was already in the lead from Pat-Ree by fifty points. He held Lu-Na with his left eye beaming at the aggregate data as the results came in.
LU-NA
I told you were in the gold darlin’.
PROTAG
And I shall never doubt you again.
LU-NA
Where’s Arch-Ie, he should be around to see this.
PROTAG
Still making calls to voters, the election isn’t over yet.
LU-NA
It might as well be.
On the lower levels of Protag headquarters at the basement switchboards, Arch-Ie-Archy stood in a defensive stance across from Syd-Kik.
ARCH-IE
To what do I owe this visit Mister Kik, are you lost; shouldn’t you be on the other side of town at grandfather’s HQ!?
SYD-KIK
Yezzzz I have lozzzttt my way, my geee peeee ezzz muzzzt be malfunctioning in my old age.
ARCH-IE
Cut the act you’re either here for sabotage or to steal information. Either way, I’m taking you straight to my Father.
Syd-Kik sensed approaching danger in thirty seconds; his survival programming kicked in, analyzing that the lower levels were heavily fortified against the incoming blast he pushed Arch-Ie underneath the computer console, jetted over to the exit to block the door with his body.
ARCH-IE
What are you-
SYD-KIK
ZTAY UNDER THE CONZOLE!!
Lu-Na’s precog-systems clocked in ten seconds earlier than Syd-Kik’s allowing her to create a three hundred and sixty degree protective shield from the fifth to the third floor. The missile hit the shield; the building fell downward destroying the first two floors.
Rocks of cement poured down on the lover levels, Syd-Kik held on to the exit door for dear life, a sheet of cement made it through almost crashing on top of him when Arch-Ie emitted a small force field around the room to take in all the debris as they sunk lower.
Lu-Na strained to hold up her force field as Protag helped the survivors evacuate, when the last of them had left he returned to his wife. The force field disappeared.
LU-NA
Where is Arch-Ie?
PROTAG
He wasn’t with the survivors, but I still feel his life signs.
Lu-Na switched off the maternal section of her emotional chip that panicked so she could use her tracking to find her son, her chest beamed orange.
LU-NA
I feel him too, he’s so scared.
PROTAG
Most likely under ground, which is why he can’t get a strong enough signal for contact.
LU-NA
I’m sensing another bot with him.
Protag’s eyes glowed red in anger at the revelation.
At Archy-Manor Pat-Ree watched in horror at his two hundred foot flat screen that covered the chaos at downtown Ultra City. Syd’s wife Ja-Ne rolled into the room.
JA-NE
I cannot get a word from Syd!
PAT-REE
Relax pumpkin, I’m sure he’s-
JA-NE
He could be dead and its all your fault!
PAT-REE
It’s true that I don’t sense any life signs but we both know he’s far out of reach to indicate anything.
JA-NE
This is some kind of sick punishment for aligning ourselves with you in this campaign.
PAT-REE
I’m not the one who sent a missile into my own son’s campaign headquarters!
JA-NE
No, you’re just the one to get his best friend killed sabotaging his son’s campaign.
PAT-REE
<Sigh> You are clearly in duress, I suggest you either cool your chips or get out of my sight.
Ja-Ne wheeled out of the living room, Pat-Ree returned his gaze to the TV. He wanted to become the President of Ultra City, but not like this. The election was less than secondary at the moment, he had to find out who sent that missile and deal the utmost justice. A ringing went off in Pat-Ree’s mind on the emergency family line.
HUGH MANN
Kayvee’s gone into labor!
Hugh paced back and forth in the waiting room, flip phone hard pressed against his ear.
HUGH MANN
What do you mean one thing at a time? No I haven’t seen the news I was busting my ass to getting my wife to the hospital after we- One-second, fine!
Hugh took his attention way from his phone and putting towards scanning the waiting room for the nearest TV, it wasn’t hard to find as patients and staff were gathered around it, the rubble of Protag campaign HQ prominently displayed, he slowly put the phone back up to his ear.
HUGH MANN
I’ll call you back.
Le-Thario was on the edge of his bed, the TV with the unthinkable beaming in front of him, his eyes bright white as he frantically tried to make telekinetic-calls to anyone in his family who would answer. Kris-Ti stood by him caressing his shoulder.
LE-THARIO
I got life signs from everyone but nobody’s picking up, come on yo!
KRIS-TI
Shhhh mon-ami, it is a stressful time for everyone, yes?
LE-THARIO
You got that right. Who could have done this!?
KRIS-TI
Normally I would expect it to be an attack from us, yet Pa’pa’s moved on from his interest in destroying your family.
LE-THARIO
Unless…
KRIST-TI
Unless what?
LE-THARIO
He found out about us.
KRIST-TI
You know how direct my father is he would not not attack your brother; he would come directly after you.
Le- got a call from Arch-Ie.
ARCH-IE
Uncle Le-Thario?
LE-THARIO
How it do nephew!!!!
ARCH-IE
I guess you have the strongest signal in the family.
LE-THARIO
Where are you!?
ARCH-IE
I’m…caught…und…camp…quarters…Misterrrrr….Kik…helping me boost…ignal.
LE-THARIO
Calm down Arch-Ie, I’m on my way to you and your folks.
ARCH-IE
WA…T..here…you…have….ell…..them!
