The bionic angel - Zeta's backstory
ENGLISH
One night, the agent Rouge received a call from the defense department of the east Mobius region. The mercenaries known as Cyberpunks had developed a new type of biomechanical weapon: Hunters. Creatures as fast as lethal, and with amazing resistance.
The common soldiers could not face this new threat, so the government had decided to try a solution proposed by the Delta technology corporation. But they needed the special skills of the agent Rouge.
Rouge had to travel to the Delta headquarters, in the northern Mobius region. In that place, she had an interview with the head of laboratories, Dr. Naomi Akari.
Dr. Akari was in charge of an ultra-secret project that aimed to use nanotechnology to create a new class of cyborgs. These new cyborgs would gain special abilities, which, with due training, could turn simple Mobian into powerful soldiers.
Until that moment there was only one cyborg of this kind. A girl who had been rescued from a terrible accident and whose body had been rebuilt by Akari's nanomachines. Her name was Zeta.
Rouge's job would be to train Zeta to become an agent capable of dealing with the Cyberpunks and their terrible Hunters. A job that Rouge was willing to refuse, but the payment offered by Delta ended up being enough to change her mind.
Dr. Akari then took Rouge to Delta Complex 2, where her future apprentice was waiting for her. Rouge took great surprise, discovering that Zeta was nothing more than a fearful teenager, with pale skin and dressed in a tight black suit, which exposed her arms and legs. In addition, her limbs were marked by strange scars that seemed to fragment her body.
The girl also suffered from amnesia and refused to talk to strangers. For a moment Rouge thought that everything was a joke in bad taste, but Dr. Akari suggested not to judge the girl by her fragile appearance.
Without further ado, Rouge began with her work as a Zeta trainer. Just a few minutes of combat were enough for Rouge to discover that her apprentice possessed an enormous physical force. She was even stronger than Knuckles. Dr. Akari did not lie when she said that Zeta was special. However, the girl needed to learn to use her power properly.
In time Rouge ended up seeing Zeta as a younger sister and became interested in knowing more about her apprentice's past. However, Dr. Akari was very reserved with that kind of information. Because of this, Rouge began to suspect her and everything that was happening in the Delta labs.
To find out the truth, Rouge had to secretly contact her old mission friend, Shadow, who left the task of inquiring about Delta's plans, while she kept up appearances as Zeta's tutor.
Almost three years passed and Rouge became increasingly worried about her young apprentice. The girl lived confined in a room of the complex, accompanied only by a maidbot who was in charge of attending to her basic needs. The name of the maidbot was Sigma, and although she was only an assistant robot, Zeta had made a strange friendship with that machine.
One night, Angel Island suffered a brutal attack by the Cyberpunks. The mercenaries had tried to steal the Master Emerald, but thanks to commander Knuckles and his Emerald Guardians the robbery was thwarted. That same night, the president of the eastern region requested that Zeta be immediately sent to the area of the attack.
The next morning, Rouge, Dr. Akari and the new agent Zeta set out for Angel Island. The moment of truth had arrived.
ESPAÑOL
Una noche, la agente Rouge recibio una llamada del departamento de defensa de la region este de Mobius. Los mercenarios conocidos como Cyberpunks habian desarrollado un nuevo tipo de arma biomecanica: Hunters. Unas criaturas tan veloces como letales, y con una resistencia asombrosa.
Los soldados comunes no podian hacerle frente a esta nueva amenaza, por lo que el gobierno habia decidido probar una solucion propuesta por la corporacion tecnologica Delta. Pero necesitaban de las habilidades especiales de la agente Rouge.
Rouge tuvo que viajar hasta la sede principal de Delta, en la region norte de Mobius. En ese lugar, ella tuvo una entrevista con la jefa de laboratorios, la doctora Naomi Akari.
La doctora Akari estaba a cargo de un proyecto ultra secreto que tenia como objetivo el uso de nanotecnologia para la creacion de una nueva clase de ciborgs. Estos nuevos ciborgs obtendrian habilidades especiales, las cuales, con el debido entrenamiento, podian convertir a simples Mobian en poderosos soldados.
Hasta ese momento solo existia un ciborg de esta clase. Una chica que habia sido rescatada de un terrible accidente y cuyo cuerpo habia sido reconstruido por las nanomaquinas de Akari. Su nombre, era Zeta.
El trabajo de Rouge seria entrenar a Zeta para convertirla en un agente capaz de hacerle frente a los Cyberpunks y a sus terribles Hunters. Un trabajo que Rouge estaba dispuesta a rechazar, pero el pago ofrecido por Delta termino siendo suficiente para hacerla cambiar de opinion.
La doctora Akari entonces llevo a Rouge hasta el complejo 2 de Delta, en donde se encontraba esperandola su futura aprendiz. Gran sorpresa se llevo Rouge, al descubrir que Zeta no era mas que una temerosa adolecente, de piel palida y vestida con un traje negro apretado, el cual dejaba al descubierto sus brazos y piernas. Ademas, sus extremidades estaban marcadas por unas extranas cicatrices que parecian fragmentar su cuerpo.
La chica tambien sufria de amnesia y se negaba a hablar con desconocidos. Por un momento Rouge penso que todo era una broma de mal gusto, pero la doctora Akari le sugirio no juzgar a la chica por su fragil aspecto.
Sin mas remedio, Rouge comenzo con su labor como entrenadora de Zeta. Bastaron solo unos minutos de combate para que Rouge descubriera que su aprendiz poseia una fuerza fisica descomunal. Ella era incluso mas fuerte que Knuckles. La doctora Akari no mentia al afirmar que Zeta era especial. Sin embargo, la chica necesitaba aprender a usar adecuadamente su poder.
Con el tiempo Rouge termino viendo a Zeta como a una hermana menor y se intereso en saber mas sobre el pasado de su aprendiz. Sin embargo, la doctora Akari era muy reservada con ese tipo de informacion. Debido a esto, Rouge comenzo a sospechar de ella y de todo lo que estaba ocurriendo en los laboratorios Delta.
Para descubrir la verdad, Rouge tuvo que contactar en secreto a su viejo amigo de misiones, Shadow, a quien le dejo la tarea de indagar sobre los planes de Delta, mientras ella guardaba las apariencias como tutora de Zeta.
Pasaron casi tres anos y Rouge se preocupaba cada vez mas por su joven aprendiz. La chica vivia confinada en una habitacion del complejo, acompanada unicamente por una maidbot que se encargaba de atender sus necesidades basicas. El nombre de la maidbot era Sigma, y aunque solo era una robot asistente, Zeta habia entablado una extrana amistad con aquella maquina.
Una noche, Angel Island sufrio un brutal ataque por parte de los Cyberpunks. Los mercenarios habian intentado robar la Master Emerald, pero gracias al comandante Knuckles y a sus Emerald Guardians el robo fue frustrado. Esa misma noche, el presidente de la region este solicito que Zeta fuera enviada de inmediato a la zona del ataque.
A manana siguiente, Rouge, la doctora Akari y la nueva agente Zeta partieron hacia Angel Island. El momento de la verdad habia llegado.
