Chapter IX: Uria
"What happened angel?"
"I managed to steal his weapon, but I made it fall on a tree. So he is dead, and now the tree became a slime that want my death."
One of the person here clearly isn't happy to hear that.
"You killed our guard? You're gonna kill us all!"
"They must be the impostor the voice talked about!"
Great, now they want us dead too. But they seem more scared of the slime since they don't do anything.
"How are we gonna beat something we can't hurt?"
"Take my hand, and we will make it, I swear."
I'm sorry Churiel, but I'm not sure holding you will do anything.
The slime seem to be only made of water, so we need to find a way to remove water.
Easier said than done, it seems only attracted by angel.
"Distract it, I'll search something."
Angel nods her head, she seems ready to do it.
"It is a good day, wouldn't you agree?"
It's how she distract it? That's not what I meant by that, but it's okay.
I go in the different part of the mall, I grab everything that could absorb the water.
Sponges, Towel, clothes, I take everything I can to throw at the slime. It became smaller, we can probably leave it behind if we're fast enough now.
"Angel! We need to run!"
"Go ahead, I will follow you."
Angel is a robot, she should be able to go faster than me. I agree with her and start running away while Churiel is cheering for us.
"We are running in the 90's!"
I'm not sure if I understand everything she says, but it's good to have her back in some way.
Angel managed to follow me, I feel bad letting that creature to them, but they didn't really seem friendly.
It's too bad, having peaceful peoples could have helped.
"Have you been able to find the person we were searching."
"Yeah, it was Armoni. Apparently, Uriel wanted to send us to the music store. There should be a way to stop the game."
"Really? How did she know about it?"
"I don't know, Armoni left before telling me. But now we at least know what Uriel wants us to do."
I wonder why she didn't tell us before, did she learn it recently?
We walk together on this road. It's empty, it looks like everything will crumble apart. There's something poetic about it. It's scary and peaceful, it makes me want to stay and watch this chaotic scenery more.
"Doesn't it feel weird for you, Angel? Being away from home, being in places you never would have imagined you would see before."
"It does not, are you perhaps enjoying the game?"
Enjoying it? I almost die every time we see someone, I'm away of my family, and I lost a precious friend. If It could have never happened, it would have been better. But maybe she's right, I enjoy this game somehow.
We arrived at the music shop, it's in ruins now. It really feels like we're in a world forsaken by humans.
There's nothing interesting inside, instruments, posters, music discs. But nothing that would stop this game.
"Is it the place she wanted us to see? It seems like there's nothing."
"Maybe there is something hidden somewhere?"
I search but I can't find anything. The only thing that is suspicious is a locked door, there are traces like someone tried to punch it. I need a code for it. But it's a music shop, it's probably where they stock everything.
"5317" Churiel said those numbers when I got close to the door, I input them. It was the good code, why did she know about them?
Angel and I go inside, there's nothing special. Aside for another robot on the floor, in a corner of the room.
There's "Unit R-1 Alpha" marked on her arm.
"Is she one of Uriel's sister?"
"I am able to collect other robot's data, I'll download them."
"How long will it take?"
"2 hours, 23 minutes and 10 seconds."
I have time for a break then, I look around the room. There's a journal here.
It's pretty boring for most of the pages, but a page catches my attention.
"11/2/2000
Our ultimate weapon is doing well, we'll use this place to train her at recognizing faces. We'll name her Unit R-1 alpha, or Uria for short."
The rest is about abilities that she have, how strong she is and how many lives she took.
It's pretty scary to see it all, I read the last page.
"10/07/2008
Uria started to have emotions, I convinced the other to let her alive. I'll keep her safe here. I did send them the data she collected over her life, she's the longest living robot after all. Their last Unit is Unit R-1 Esper Lambda, they have high hopes for her."
That all there is, nothing about ending the game here.
After waiting for a while, Angel finished her downloading.
"I have found multiples information that could be useful, should I list them."
"Yes please." I'm curious to the reason Uriel sent us here.
"There are memories linked to
-Unit R-1
-Angelic weapons
-Project Messiah
-Porn"
I'll just ignore the last one, there are many important subjects. But isn't this robot a replica of the one in the real world? How could she know things about the game.
"What is interesting about the Unit R-1?"
"It's a message she has to the units R-1 I will quote what she said:"
"Hello, I am your big sister, Uria. I know that one day, you will be used for war and get my memories. So I hided this memory deep in me, If you hear this, it's that you're close to your destruction. The reason I am hiding this is that I don't want the scientist to find about it. I am in the music shop, I know a way to stop any war. My father and I created a weapon that would serve as a deterrent. Please access the memory about angelic weapon for more information"
"That is all that she said."
A weapon to stop any war? Uriel heard this before her death and wanted me to find it? I hold Churiel in my hand gently.
"What do you want us to do Uriel?"
She doesn't answer, If only Uriel could answer us.
"What's the chapter about angelic weapon."
"She said:"
"We discovered the existence of a God, He is not the one that created our universe. But it's a being able to do almost anything. He created angels, They all carry his will. An angel created a weapon for humans to use, he called it an angelic weapon. It was a gun that would never run out of ammo, he said that each of these weapons had a name, but he never said what the other weapons are used for. This gun is named "Order", scientist used this weapon to create a new one. "Messiah", a demonic weapon. When the angel saw this, he had an idea. He asked to modify the gun to make it stronger, this weapon didn't have a name. It was able to take a fragment of the human soul to use it as a weapon, they had to install a limit on it. It wouldn't be able to fire more than once a day. This weapon can kill anyone that touch the bullet, We kept messiah and gave Order back. I do not know where these two weapons are, but if one of you end up in a war that could condemn humanity, find this weapon and stop the war with it."
Is it my revolver, the powers are very similar. But if that's the case, then the angel she talked about was Satanael?
And what about Messiah? Are these the only two demonic weapons?
"I didn't expect anyone to open that door, I've been trying for ages."
The voice came from a man, he barely has clothes, only gloves, a short and socks. Not even shoes, just socks.
"I'm sorry little ones, I'm just trying to win the game. I propose a fair fight, let's go outside."
He seems very calm despite the situation, will we have to fight once more?
