I went back to my hideout after the pain passed. I had to take some robots' xels before finally getting back, since I still have my xel deterioration to worry about. On the way back, it donned on me that I could drink energy drinks to keep my power up. Robots in my time can not only drink the human's energy drinks, but we robots have our own energy drinks, though we can still drink the human's if we wanted to. Yet another idea of that Dr.Light scientist from Japan. Or was it Dr.Cossack? Man I need to catch up with my history. I think Dr.Light actually passed away ages ago, though I hear he made some X robot in honor of his creation Megaman or somethin' before he kicked the bucket. Last anyone heard of Wily he just disappeared after whenever was the last time Megaman had to deal with his a**. I need to find out more about that to jog my memories.

Anyway, since there were some robots running amuck, I managed to sneak a pack of energy drinks out and left. Taking xels from robots somehow managed to get rid of whatever virus is infecting everyone, so the only real reason for taking energy drinks was for when I'm moping around my hideout, planning my next course of action.

D**n, again with that.

Anyway, I tried the new electricity power out. It shot only one of those thingy-ma-jigs at a time, but it packed a punch. After I shoot one and get within range of it, my spike automatically shoots an electrical current through to the thingy-ma-jig, shocking whatever robot it was attached to. When the robot became destabilized while the thingy-ma-jig was still attached, I could use my xel absorption ability and automatically gain that robots xels even if I wasn't nearby. Cool huh?

Oh, and I heard No.9 actually caught Shade not too long ago. You know, the robot sniper I fought back at the White House? So that's out of the way. He must be following the same pattern I'm going by. Hmmm, interesting....

Now I can target Aviator at that radio tower. My electricity ability and my sneak weapon otta really catch him off guard! The humans have been taking quite a beating from him. He keeps hacking into all the television broadcasts and "reporting" the news of the robot rampage to everyone in his crazed and somewhat sadistic way of talking. With the virus affecting him like the others you know.

Don't ask how(please don't I really don't want Bill to get mad at me again), but I managed to get to Georgia where the radio tower Aviator had hijacked was. At first going up it was like a walk in the park, but then the higher I went the wind got worse. A lot worse. Like it could make you slip and fall and die sort of worse. And of course there were mad robots up there too. Mostly those floating saw blade things and them shooting monkey bot things. Oh and of course there were floating platforms. Of course 😒. And obviously Aviator tried to stop me. Sort of.

Aviator: And now to the Weather Report. What's going on out there Avi? Well we have ridiculously high winds today ladies and gentlemen! Hold on Avi, we just got a special news bulletin that a crazed clawed robot is transcending the world's largest radio tower located in Georgia! It appears to be targeting us at the News Station!
Ray: You just called me a "it" didn't you!? Wait 'til I get my claws on you!

You have no idea how many times I've been referred to as a "it". Or even as a "he"! Ain't it obvious that I'm a chick? I mean really. I've got the body design and the voice of a woman! Now that I think about it my voice is kinda deep, like a, what, a Russian woman? I think that's nice.

I tried to keep up with him, but like he said the winds up here were out of control. It's enough to push me back inch by inch when I sat still. I had to keep moving. No.6 wasn't making it any easier on me either. He kept teasing and bothering me with his news reports, if you can even call them that. I mean, I imagine he'd make a great newcaster robot, if it weren't for that virus of course. These mad machines that were up here were only getting in the way even more. They were probably the security system for the tower before the virus went viral.

After lord knows how long, I finally managed to make it to the top of the tower where Aviator was. Still as annoying as ever.

Aviator: Now on to our exclusive report ladies and gentlemen! Buh buh BUUUUHHH: Cannibal vs helicopter!!! Who will win in this high altitude, speed demon battle to the death?!
Ray: I've got a news bulletin for you, bladebreath; I'm gonna be pulling the curtains down on this show!
Aviator: Oh, the audience would love to see you try Mr. MetalEater! I'm telling you Avi the crowd is going wild! Wild I tell you!
Ray: You got problems you know that? Seriously, I'M A WOMAN!

Obviously he didn't care. I swear guys can be so stupid. He didn't hesitate in starting his assult on me. He flew up and down both sides of the platform we were on, shooting his gun at me. I had to hang off the side of the platform to escape from the shots, and that's when I noticed it. How f***ing high I was. And no I don't mean that kind of high, for those annoying pests of the Internet who like to take things way out of paportion. I mean I was a thousand miles off the ground kind of high. I fall and it would spell the end for me.

F-A-L-L = D-E-A-D

Aviator tried to drop mini F-bombs on me. Naturally I evaded them. I made use of Dyna's electro thingy-ma-jig and shot Aviator with one while he tried to divebomb me. Boi that sure gave Aviator a shock! Ok ok, bad pun I'm sorry. He didn't expect it though. After I absorbed some of his xels he flew too far for any of my powers to reach and started shooting the whole stage with his machine gun fingers. Who's idea was it to give this guy machine gun fingers? Oh yeah, Sanda Tech's. I used my invincibility and invisibility cloak from Shade to evade the attack. When Aviator came to look for me, WHAM! Got him from behind and knocked him down from the air. Unfortunately we missed the stage we were fighting on, but we did land on one of those floating platforms from earlier. Hey, maybe they're not so useless afterall! The impact was enough to knock Aviator's systems out and got me enough xels to deactivate him temporarily. Success!

After I absorbed his xels, I decided to try and copy one of his abilities. The pain returned, but it didn't feel too painful. Welp, that's three down. Who's next?
