The years he spent laboring, fixing, building, breaking and even creating... were all but a dream, for when he had awaken and was set free, his mind would become empty again... memories should become shattered and lost...but he would oddly enough hear the sound of tinkering every now and then.
Out of breath, Luliana landed in Honor Hold, rushed into the Inn knocking over everything in her way." Ark! I found you something at the Throne of Kil'Jaeden,something you might want to look at..." she said. "Oh boy, this cant be good." Ark replied. Luliana set on the table a mechanical device that looked like it needed to be melted down and used for better purposes. Ark looked in shock as the malfunctioning device chirped an alarm indicating an expirations proximity.
"You found th... wh... *sigh* we need a warlock! This bot is beyond repair! I havent the materials to delay the inevitable... we need to act fast...to Iron Forge!"
Ark quickly connected battery from her Gnomish Army Knife to the bot with Goblin jumper cables in hopes that it would buy them some time. She carefully placed the bot in his bag and they both flew to the city of Shattrath to take the portal to Ironforge.
After arriving in the Mystic Ward of IronForge Ark is quick to find anyone to point him in the right direction. "Where can i find Briarthorn the Warlock?" he shouts in panic... "He is in the Forlorn Cavern, just around that corner" a man replied.
Luliana and Ark ran to find him. "What are we doing? Why do we need a warlock?" Luliana asked
Ark replied "This isnt just a bot... its much more..." Ark, being an Engineer, knew the history of the Mecha-Gnomes and what drove them from the inside. They arrive at the doorway to find that the warlock trainer grieving over the loss of an apprentice summoner. "What happened?" said Ark
Briarthorn replied "She was on a quest in Stormwind to demonstrate her abilities and prove herself to be worthy of the power of summoning... she opened a portal via the Curse of Doom summoning a demon lord to our world.... the demon lord consumed her soul leaving her body behind. Master Summoner Demisette Cloyce was quick to slay the demon before he consumed others, but it was too late for Lucy..." *sigh*
"...whats done is done, what can i do for you?"
Ark replied "I have a bot here --- a Mecha-Gnome... now just hear me out... I am an engineer and based off of what i know and my experience, this bot is not an ordinary bot. I truly believe that this device possesses the soul of what used to be a gnome-warlock. The power core is the only component in this device keeping it 'alive' and its about to die at any moment now... is there anything in your power you can do to save this soul?"
Briarthorn replied "Yes there is something we can do... but we need the power of a priest and a Paladin!"
"We are they..." said Luliana
"Then perhaps this was no mistake... perhaps this was meant to be..." said Briarthorn "Follow me"
Ark and Luliana followed Briarthorn upstairs to perform a process that has never been performed. In theory the combined abilities would work together to rescue the soul and return it to life where it belonged.
The process of re transformation begins...
Briarthorn begins to cast Drain Soul on the bot hoping to store all of its spiritual being into a soul shard. "Luliana, when i tell you... use your mind control ability to take control of Lucy and begin the ritual of Soul Harvest using the scroll on the table.... this will synthesize the body and soul giving life to a new mind. Ark, once the soul is restored within Lucy, I need you to Holy Shock her three times to jump start her body... then Lay on Hands... to fill her with life and stabilize her for the regeneration process (rest)" said Briarthorn.
"Ready" said Luliana
"Ready" said Ark
Briarthorn guides the process:
"Luliana... perform the ritual..."
...Luliana channeled her focus as her mind infected the Gnomes like a virus...
"Focus Luliana! this is our only shot!"
...Luliana cleared her mind as blood began to drip from her nose.
"Shock it Ark!... its losing power!..."
...Ark placed her Goblin jumper cables to the leads on the bot to give it enough juice to last through the ritual.
"Ark, the soul rests in the mortal body... Lay on Hands..."
...
Luliana recited the hymn of hope as she waited patiently.
...
"It is finished... may she rest and recover"
...
Exhausted and overwhelmed with relief Briarthorn slowly falls to his knees.
"Thank you!" said Ark
"How can we repay you?"
Briarthorn replied "No need, that was Divine Intervention right there... just let her rest and bring her back when she awakes."Using the portal in IronForge and the Dark Portal, Ark and Luliana brought Lucy to Honor Hold Inn in Hellfire Peninsula to recover.
A screeching-roar echoes through the mountains of Hellfire Peninsula waking Lucy into the realm of a familiar reality. She asks herself as a giant Fel-Reaver passes by:
"Where am I? How did i get here? What is going on?"
She asked herself these questions over and over... she pondered trying to remember where she was before here. The only memories contained in her mind was her identity.
"Nebuchadnezzar!" she thought "my name is Nebuchadnezzar..."
"Hello!"
"Hello!?!"
A soft voice replied..."Hi Lucy"
At that moment in time Lucy knew there was something terribly wrong. She couldnt remember anything from before she had awaken... everything before was like a dream after waking... clouded, broken, out of focus..
She heard the voice again "Are you ok?"
She wasnt sure...
"Lucy?... Are you ok?"
"No!" She said... she started to panic... "What happened?... Where am I? What am I doing here?"
"Oh dear..." Luliana said
"I was afraid this would happen... you dont remember me... you dont remember anything from before... i found you out here in your brittle body, broken, barely 'alive' and left to rust. My abilities could not revive your body since it was a machine. I had an engineer take a look to perhaps 'jump' you back to life... apparently that wasnt an option. Ark took you to the warlock in IronForge. I have never before witnessed the process that just occurred but we thought it to be the right thing to do."
"What process is that?" I asked.
Luliana replied "They drained every bit of your soul from that machine and placed into the body you have now... they did the best they could to keep you whole, but it seems parts of your conscious being are missing..."
Lucy began to cry, it dawned on her that she had a life before that she could not remember. She didnt know if she should be happy or sad, fearful or eager, disappointed or thankful.
"What do i do now?" Lucy asked.
Luliana replied "Lets go see the Briarthron, he will know what you should do."
Luliana remembered the agreement.. "... just let her rest and bring her back when she awakes." so she decided to mail Ark a letter telling him that they went to IronForge to see Briarthorn and to meet them there.
Together they left Outlands and went to IronForge to determine her fate.
They arrived at the Forlorn Cavern...
"I didnt expect to see you a for a while" said Briarthorn as they walked inside.
"This is Briarthorn" said Luliana "he will be your trainer - Warlock"
Briarthorn instructs Lucy: "You will train as a warlock and practice the arts of demonology and destruction for in time you will serve along side your allies against the enemies of the alliance, the burning legion and the scourge."
"but you dont have to train alone" said Ark as he walked in. "we can help"
She pledged her life to the ones who gave her this transformed existence. She became part of a family, a team of different races with different abilities from the far ends of Azeroth to the heart of Outlands.
To honor the sacrifices made and the memories of the fallen... She took on the name of Lucy... for where Lucy had failed before, Nebuchadnezzar would rise with the wisdom from within the soul to become Lucy the Reborn Demon Master...
