In the base, everyone is now asleep from the work they had to do, in order to make their place as safe as they possibly can. Vision and Echo are in their pods, which are very close to each other, Emerald and Neopolitan are sleeping together in their rooms, and Amber is also sleeping with them. Bastion is currently in shutdown mode, while it is standing. Aurora, is also in shutdown mode, which also counts as sleeping. However, he doesn't seem to have a pleasant dream. In fact, he is looking at someone that he is trying to for get from his past, someone he hates.

Inside of Aurora's Dream...

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Aurora opens his eyes, as he looks at the surrounding area.

"Huh...what the..."

He looks down, and saw that there is something very unusual about his hand so suddenly.

His band, it now resembles how he was when he was back as a human.

"What the...what is this?"

He than looked back up again, as he looked at what the surrounding area's like.

Aurora is seen in a strange cyberspace city of some sort. Many structures are seen floating, and are even sometimes rotating. Aurora is now seen in his human form, in the strange dream he has.

"What the...what is this place...where... where am I now?"

He than jumped across the platform he is on, and went onto one of the buildings. He almost made it, but than began falling down.

"WOAH!!! WHY DIDN'T I...what?"

As he was following, suddenly, he felt a sharp pulling on his shirt, and all of a sudden, he went onto the building, upside-down."

"Woah."

He than looked around, and later jumped to another building, and is now sideways. He turns around, as he jumped to another building, now rightside up once more. This place he is seeing, it is literally defying gravity.

"What is this place. Is this thing even in my head?"

As he spoke out...

"I WILL KILL YOU, LITTLE FREAK!!!"

He turned, and sees...

"No! NOOO!!! IT CAN'T BE!!!"

The voice belongs to...Tai, but with black eyes in the place of his regular eyes. Aurora flinched and was shocked at what he is seeing. This is impossible!! Why is he seeing Tai all of a sudden, when he is dead?!

"NO!!! NO!!! I THOUGHT I KILLED YOU!!! WHAT ARE YOU, A ZOMBIE OF SORTS??!!!"

Aurora shouted out. He couldn't believe it. Was this a memory of him from within the plays he tried forgetting? but than he took a deep breath, as he spoke out.

"No...you're not Tai. You're just a memory of the past that is only mimicking his behavior. Nothing more. You can try and scare me, but it'll do nothing."

The fake Tai snarled, as he shouted out to him.

"You'll pay you little brat, with your life!!!"

He than charged at Aurora, and Aurora was about to fight back.

The fake Tai than launched a punch at him, which Aurora blocked with a cyber shield he formed from data. Fake Taiyang tried to punch him again, but he dodged he attack, and backflipped away. He than made a gauntlet out of the same digital data, and punched the fake Taiyang back, which growled at him, and charged at him once more, having an intent to kill him like Taiyang.

Aurora was about to fifth back, when all so suddenly...

CRASH!!!

Arms suddenly cape up in front of both the Fake Tai and Aurora, as the digital ground turns to pixels and than disappears. As that happened, a voice crooned out.

"COME ON, YOU PATHETIC MEMORY. DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT YOU GET TO KILL HIM? NOT WHILE I'M AROUND. BESIDES, AURORA HAS A JOB TO DO, WHICH IS FAR MORE IMPORTANT THAN DEAL WITH A MEMORY THAT DESERVES ERASING."

Suddenly, he was pulled by an unknown force, and is now going through a portal of sorts, while he rises back up to reality again.

Aurora looked up, as he goes up the tunnel, faster and faster, fast as the speed of thought. As he looked up...he heard a voice.

"...ra!"

...rora!"

"Aurora!!!"

"AURORA!!!"

He looked up, and spoke out.

"That sounds like...like..."

Back in the Real World...

"AURORA!!"

Aurora's face than glowed Red, as the helmet than went over his face again.

He looked and saw Emerald is in front of him, which her hands onto Aurora's robotic shoulders. Aurora saw that Emerald looked a bit terrified. Like she has seen a ghost. He stood up, and spoke out.

"Emerald, what is it. Is there something wrong?"

Emerald nodded, as she spoke out.

"We've got intruders that have entered out base."

Aurora flinched in utter shock of what's heard, and spoke out.

"What intruders?"

Emerald turned to the screen, so Aurora could see who it is that has entered his base uninvited.

Aurora's face became even more red, as he recognized who it is that has appeared.

"Cinder..."

He snarled. He couldn't believe that Cinder was able to find out his bass, but doesn't seem to know that he is here yet. And unfortunately, she isn't alone.

He recognized the one with the gray hair, Mercury, he's called. But he doesn't recognize the scorpion Faunus that's present. But whoever this one is, it is obviously not good.

"Must be a friend of their's, the scorpion guy there. He's looks insane and is bad news. I need to send some robots to take care of-"

"You don't need to."

Emerald suddenly spoke out. She than continued on with-

"Neo, Echo, Vision, and Bastion are on their way to stop them. Amber will be hiding from them."

Aurora stood up, and spoke out.

"We've gotta help out with them also. Come on, Emerald. Let's go."

Emerald nodded, and both Aurora and Emerald head out to aid his friends in battle.

'I just hope we don't get late for the battle.'

Aurora said, as the both of them continue to run.

Later...

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

When they arrived, the battle is still going with them. Neo and Cinder are battling a bit. Cinder fires some arrows at Neo, who defends with her umbrella.

A shield has appeared, and was able to block the arrows before they could reach her. Unfortunately, the Scorpion Faunus than came out and struck the shield with his stinger, which is a bit more dangerous than the weapons he hold. However, this became an illusion, which shattered upon impact. Neo than appears behind the Scorpion Faunus, and struck his head, which made him stumble a little bit, before he regains his composure.

As Cinder steps back, Echo comes out of nowhere, alongside Vision, and struck her with their energy beam attacks.

The combined attack knocks about close to half of her aura, and it was enough to send her back to a metal wall. Cinder notched some arrows to strike them both down. But Echo and Vision both evaded the arrows as fast as they can. The explosion almost touched them, but they are still fine.

They than charged back at Cinder, as she jumped away from the 2 powerful androids.

Mercury and Bastion are seen fighting each other. Mercury used his feet to try and shoot the Bastion down. While it did make him go back, the Bastion held strong, and began shooting with his arm gun. Mercury got hit a bit, which took down a bit of his aura, but he was able to evade the bullets.

Emerald than sides with Bastion, and shoots to fight Mercury. Mercury than used his legs to defend against Emerald's scythes. Aurora goes to Neo, and fights against the Scorpion Faunus.

"You need help, Neo?"

Aurora spoke to his ice-cream friend. Neo pulls a scroll and typed out.

'Please do.'

Aurora nodded, before he turns to the Scorpion Faunus, as Cinder spoke out.

"Keep him alive, Tyrian. We need him to find the Fall Maiden."

The Scorpion Faunus, now called Tyrian, cackled like a madman, and spoke out.

"Will do, Cinder. Hehehehehehehe!"

Neo than presses a button on her umbrella, and a blade spiked out.

Neo charged at Tyrian, as she clashed with his weapons.

They metal blades grinded together, as Tyrian pulls out his second wrist blade. But Aurora used his blade to clash with his, in order to protect Neo from the strike.

Tyrian looks at Aurora, and spoke out.

"You are an annoying piece of scrap metal! Maybe I should slice and melt you down!!"

He than activated the guns on his weapons. Neo immediately got out of the way, but Aurora has another idea. He took out his own minigun arms.

The both of them than began to shoot, but Aurora was able to nick Tyrian in the face, arms, legs, and even at his torso. But Tyrian caught Aurora by surprise, by running up to him, and cuts his stomach.

"Gahhh!!!"

Aurora's inner mechanisms are exposed, as multiple wires popped out of the to match of the robot that he inhabits. Sparks flies out of the wires, as well as aura.

Aurora's aura than began to try and heal the wound, but Tyrian than took the initiative to use his semblance.

His semblance is capable of disrupting and draining aura from the person he attacks. This could allow him to make Aurora defenseless, and interrogate him as long as they want. But Tyrian has no idea of the additional effects that his semblance can have when used a robot-possessed human.

Aurora began to clash against Tyrian with his Arm Blades, but Tyrian got close and utilized his semblance against Aurora.

He than began to disrupt Aura from Aurora in order to try and kill Aurora. But unaware to Tyrian, Aurora is actually getting killed by the semblance. So with the remaining power he has, he immediately aimed his arm, and shoot the bullets at rapid speed in Tyrian's chest.

"AAAAARRRRGGHHGG!!!"

Tyrian cries in pain, as Aurora used his fist to knock the Faunus out, before kicking him far away.

Aurora than stood up, as he gripped his chest, and looked at Cinder, who is clearly unhappy with the result. Emerald and Bastion are still fighting against Mercury, who is still daring against them both. However, this is not his main focus of attention. His main focus is with Cinder.

"Obviously, Tyrian is too crazy to even know your dangerous."

Aurora than raises his body off the ground, and stood up. He than looks at her, as he tries to regain most of his aura. He pointed his minigun arm at Cinder, and spoke out.

"How did you find out where I am? We were underground and hidden."

Cinder smirked, as if finding his anger funny, as she spoke out.

"Why does it matter to you?"

Aurora than spoke back to her in a stern tone.

"Because the person you're after is my friend, one I refuse for you taking."

Cinder smirked a bit wider, as she spoke out.

"I'll never tell a weak machine like you. And this will be the example of why you will never block my path to getting what I deserve, why I really want."

Cinder than pulled out her scroll, as she looked at the screen. The screen shows a red circle at the center of the screen itself.

Cinder than presses the button, and began to upload a program that can control him. And unlike the program she made to control him, this one is permanent. Once it permanently uploads itself to a machine, it isn't removable.

"Ghhhhhhhh..."

But since Aurora is a digital ghost, he can fight off the program invading him, but he'll experience constant pain in removing it from him. And also, he needs to shut off the body this time, since like the immune system, he needs to remember it to be immune forever to the same virus again.

Neo than fights off against Cinder, as Cinder than struggles against Neo. Due to her weakness aura, she needs to be careful not to get hit further, or it will end terribly. She needs to be as strong as ruthless as possible.

Aurora than held his head, as he begun to try and fight off the programming. This is making him very tired, forcing Vision and Echo to take over in fighting him. Aurora than goes to his head, to try and stop the virus from invading him.

Back in Aurora's mind...

In the center of the mind, Aurora is defending the core.

The core is the place where his aura is, and how he is able to inhabit the AK-135. And now, he is defending it against the red program.

Aurora is trying to fight back against whatever program that Cinder has given to him this time. Due to his Aura drainage from Tyrian, he is now getting pushed back, and it is even more painful, as he has no idea how to deal with this one. The program than came down like a tidal wave on him, which sends him back painfully, and has damaged his aura even more

"GHHHHHHHH!!!!"

Aurora was very damaged from the battle he's still in. As he looked up, he saw the program, which is a red wave of code, trying to go to the center of his control. He can't simply fight inside his mind. If he was at full power, with his aura still intact, he would have effortlessly defeated it. But now that he's weakened, he now has trouble fighting off the virus. If he tries to fight in the outside world, the virus will take over. But if he's inside trying to fight the virus, than he'll be vulnerable. Even worse, he can't use another AK-135 body, since they are still being made in the machine room he has made. He than spoke out.

"I don't know how much I can take!! If I stop fighting, than my friends, and Vision, will in danger!! How can I stop those guys??!!! I can't do this all on my own!!"

As he spoke out, the voice from his sleep called out to him again.

"YOU'RE AFRAID."

He than turned around, while he blocks of the virus, as the voice continued to speak out from nowhere.

"YOU'RE AFRAID TO DO WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE, AFRAID TO GET YOUR HANDS DIRTY, AFRAID TO BECONE THE VERY MONSTER THAT YOU HAVE SWRON FACING, EVEN AFTER WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO TAI FROM WHAT HAPPENED ALL THOSE YEARS AGO. THAT'S WHY YOU ARE HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME FIGHTING OFF THE VIRUS INSIDE THIS BODY. BECAUSE EVEN THROUGH HOW WEAK YOU BECAME FROM THE SCORPION FAUNUS, YOU WOULD HAVE WON WITHOUT EFFORT. BUT HERE...AURORA..."

Than, he heard footsteps, which sound very uneven, and also very loud, like it is made of heavy metal, despite the fact that there is no metal that is seen on the floor. The floor is only made of just binary code and pixels. The sound, was coming from behind him. Aurora, turned, only to see a figure showed up from the depths of his mind, and when Aurora squinted to have a better look at who spoke, he was stunned at what he is now seeing.

The entity what is seen before him is rather...frightening. The entity inside of his mind, resembles how he looked at a child...only scarier. He has a lot of arms, about having 20-50 of them in total, with all as black as shadow, and all the arms have a claw on their fingers. The arms appear to have no joins, as they are wiggling like an octopus, and yet can move as if they are still present. On the palm of the hands are eyes, which are red with a blue iris. Instead of eyelashes, there were teeth that are above the eyeballs themselves, as they almost touched. When it blinks, it closes like it is a mouth. The arms themselves twitched and made different gestures, as they now aimlessly in the mind of the AK-135

His main arms, while aren't as disturbing as the tentacle arms, are still scary. They have curved bone spikes at the top of the arms. Each 4 in total, with both stopping at the elbows, as well as a spike pointing upwards on both shoulders. There are spikes appears out of the legs also, but with 5 instead of 4 on each, with both having claws.

The main body of the entity itself has black hair that reaches down to his ankles, as he has an extra 2 eyes. All 4 of the eyeballs are also red, and are also blue, but circuits markings are present on his face, as they come out of the 4 eyes. The eyes still have eyelashes, thankfully. But his entire face is black, and his teeth is jagged and sharp, as it was formed into a twisted grin. The from of the neck also has a mouth, but it is permanently closed. There is also a mouth at the front of his body, positioned overs where the stomach is. There is Circuity markings all over the body of the entity, covering the thing entirely. The veins in the eyes are also blue circuits.

The entity, looked at Aurora, and spoke out to him.

"I WILL BE TAKING CONTROL."

He spoke, like digital bells are making sound at different times, making a human voice. He than walked past Aurora, as the entity prepares to take control of his body, while Aurora fights the virus.

Back in the outside world...

Aurora than looked up...as his face began to turn blue, and than, suddenly, to a dark blood-red color. Cinder thought that he was under her control.

"Yes, now attack your friend so-"

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Suddenly, Aurora took out his minigun and hits her badly, taking away nearly all of her protection. This caught Cinder by surprise, as this never happened before when she controls machines.

"Ghhhhhh..."

He than held his head, as his body shakes. Everyone noticed, as Amber than spoke out.

"Aurora, what's wrong?"

But what Amber didn't know...Aurora isn't in control now.

As he shakes, Emerald noticed something.

"Aurora, your hands..."

They looked, and saw that the hands are starting to become claws, and are as sharp and looks as though they are nails.

Suddenly, wires began come out of his back, about 20-50 wires to be exact.

They attatched themselves to a mechanical wall behind him, and began to integrate the metallic gadgets into him.

The wires than began to collect, rip apart metal, and piece together new parts, in order to make arms, which than, after an entire minute, it made mechanical hands, with laser on their palms, as the openings resemble eyes. The spikes above the lasers resemble teeth, as they closed the cannons.

The stomach of the AK-135, the part where Tyrian wounded the body, has also made what seems to be a bear trap in the place of the stomach. It than both opened and snapped itself closed very fast, like a prey ready to eat the predator alive.

Aurora looks up, as glowing blue circuits-like markings go down his 'face', while a laughter was heard from the robot's voice module. The neck also made some spikes that resembles teeth.

The others looked in shock, as Vision spoke out.

"Creator, are you alright?"

Echo looked at Aurora, and spoke out.

"Aurora."

Then, the AK-135's head looks up, and spoke to them.

"NOT AURORA...

The entity spoke, as the aura of another entity within Aurora began to take control. Red liquid than leaked out of his face, as the glowing circuitry markings than suddenly began glowing a red color. He than spoke his name.

...VIRUS."
