Chapter 31: Mass Destruction Part 1
The scene cuts back to Tessa, N, Uzi as they were facing with Lucius and S who held V, J and Beau captive. Lucius gave out his demands.
Lucius: So what's it going to be? The drone with the solver or their lives?
Uzi: Don't give me to him! Who knows what he might do.
N: Lucius, you don't have to do. Is all of this really worth it? With Tessa's help we're going to destroy every infected drone.
Lucius: N, not everything is what it seems.
His glare narrowed down to Tessa's face.
Lucius: Are you sure or certain that is what you achieve?
Tessa: Oh pish posh N, need I remind you he tried to kill your friends all the time and is threatening us with V and J's lives.
Lucius: Open your eyes, it's now or never. You will later regret the outcome.
???: Stop!
They all turned to see Anton, Emiliano and Doll arrive. Everyone minus for Lucius and S were happy that Anton was alive.
Uzi: A-anton!
Her visor and optics began glitching, it then showed her the Solver symbol covering the screen as she cackled to herself.
Anton: Uzi! What's wrong with her?
Uzi: *takes back control* I...I-
Lucius: She's manifesting the Solver, if you don't give me then it will spell the doom-
???: Keep your hands off of my son!
S turned around to see Alice who was using a chain as a rope and swung all the way to where S was and kicked him off the platform letting go of J and V when they almost plummet into the abyss.
But their hands were caught, they looked up to see Emiliano hanging them by a thread with his own.
Emiliano: I gotcha!
J: Huh...maybe you're not so bad after all.
Emiliano: Never was.
S gets up with the help of Lucius.
Alice and Beau landed on the lower level, everyone circled Lucius and S who weren't too pleased of the outcome.
S: Seriously? How many of you freaks do we have to face?!
V: Oh you guys won't be alive for a long time.
Then suddenly Uzi's optics glitched again, this time the Solver was in full control and she began smiling maniacally.
She then began using her powers.
Anton: Uzi!
N: Uzi no!
Then suddenly the ground that they stood on began shaking. It then split up to 3 casms as everyone minus for Emiliano, Alice, J, V and Beau fell.
Anton and Doll on the first casm
Uzi, N and Tessa on the second casm.
Lucius and S on the third casm.
Emiliano: Guys!
Alice: Kid!
The scene changed to Visar who was now in the entrance leading to the labs themselves. A huge blizzard occurred as he was walking passed through the many hazard signs and warnings. He made his entrance through after Lucius called him for something.
Lucius then jumped down the hole as the wind blew through his face, he remained unfazed as his eagle spread its wings and used its talons to grab a hold of his wrist and flew him down.
Once he landed on the ground he was met with the entrance.
He remained stoic and unfazed, looking at the many drone corpses and oil stains, he brushed it off and was on his way to find Lucius.
The scene changed to an underground cave system with a flickering light.
We see Anton who was groaning in pain with his eyes closed. Doll was in the same situation but she got up and saw the human, she shook him to see if he was alive.
Anton: Ugh...my fucking head...
Doll felt relieved and silently exhaled, Anton opened his eyes and looked at her.
Anton: You ok Doll?
Doll nodded, her left hand flickered with the Absolute Solver symbol as it emitted a glow, like a blow torch to help them navigate.
She helped Anton get up.
Anton: Thanks. Uzi's meltdown caused us all to fall down here in the first place, we need to find her asap.
He then looked at the darkness that the tunnel had and he sighed.
Anton: Come on Doll, through the dark trenches we go.
Doll nods as she and Anton began walking towards the dark tunnel, on guard if anything happens.
The scene changed to Lucius and S who were in a same perdicament, only difference is that the bottom half of Lucius was covered in rocks and rubble, struggling to get out.
S got up and saw his boss in this perdicament and rushed to him.
S: Sir! Sir, let me help!
He then began throwing away the rocks and rubble and helped Lucius up.
S: Boss, are you-
Lucius: Ugh..I'm fine S!
He punched a nearby wall, shrugging off the pain.
S: We almost had them!
Lucius: Oh I know, they're only prolonging the inevitable.
He then looked at S with a cold and dark glare.
Lucius: As soon as I get the Solver...I am going to erase this planet from the galaxy after everything I've been through!
He then took steps forward as S followed along. The disassembly drone turned his left hand into a flashlight so that he could light the way for the two to navigate the darkness.
Lucius: The gloves are coming off! They wanna play games with me, well I'll play along...before I rip their guts off and mount their heads on my wall as trophies.
S: I support you all the way sir!
Lucius: I know you do....I just need a little more time..Earth will be safe...
The scene changed back to Visar who was navigating his way through the labs, crossing many of the halls.
He then stopped to see a Pentagram drawing on the wall with a nearby dismantled Sentinel on the ground.
Visar knew this was from Lucius, he then looked around and saw the many offices.
One office in particular reminded him of a past memory. He imagined Nori and Yeva who were being interrogated and analyzed by many JcJensen scientists.
His facial expression didn't change, he began moving forward, but he remembered a past memory.
"Flashback, many years ago"
Wind howls in the night. Thunder and lightning follow not long after. Outside a cathedral, two Sentinels stay chained as a "FOR LEASE" sign hangs out, indicating that this cathedral was converted into a lab. Inside, scientists scatter about, hard at work.
Ridley: Science holding strong, sir! *dramatically* Math...
Above, a Drone is being held via chains. A card floats by.
NORI
002
Nori's face indicates she is under control by the AbsoluteSolver. A scientist looks up, thinking she is staring at him.
Ridley: Dr. Chambers!
Mitchell: *Gasps and looks at his name tag* O-Oh, no -- I-I-I'm not...
He looks around and realizes he accidentally put on the doctor's uniform.
Mitchell: *whispers* Is this guy important?
Suddenly, Nori detaches herself from above. She lashes out at Chambers knocking his clipboard out of his hands. The other scientists begin attempting to contain her.
Ridley: Chambers! *she tosses a card at him* Get 48!
The card says "YEVA".
Mitchell: Right, so... (Chuckles nervously) This a doctor-specific thing?
The bishop, also masked, walks up to Nori and pulls out a crucifix.
Mitchell: Well...I...uhhh
Then the card was taken away from him by another masked scientist.
Scientist: Clearly you're lost, you're out of your league. And you're stupid for putting on the wrong uniform, I'll handle this for you, you stay here and try to contain the drone.
Mitchell: Oh umm thanks Mu-
He was cut off by the scientist who quickly ran out of the cathedral.
The scientist rushes outside into the rain. He looks back to see Nori's face as the doors close. After narrowly avoiding the two Sentinels, he makes his way to a shaft.
Inside, he passes by some lockers until he notices one with the number 48 on it. Yeva's locker. He opens it to find Yeva inside. Apparently, she was playing Tetris when he interrupted.
Scientist: 048, you assistance is needed in this current perdicament.
Yeva remained unfazed but willingly decided to come along, much to her dismay
Back outside, the duo rush back to the cathedral. The scientist looks past him. The two Sentinels have broken from their chains...
Scientist: What the....
He opens the doors, except Yeva isn't with him. He looks around and sees Ridley examining Nori's body.
Ridley: Hey! Get over here!
Scientist: On it! Mitchell, with me!
Mitchell: Oh umm on it!
(Suddenly the two see a flash, they steps back, holding the door from being opened. Outside, Yeva tries to push the doors open with no luck.
Mitchell: So where is 048?
Scientist: Found her and-
Ridley: Whatever!
Scientist: Mitchell...step forward and assist Ridley...
Mitchell: R-Right. Uh... *he begins to slowly make his way towards Ridley* Here I... come...
As he walks, he notices a trail of blood on the floor. He looks in the shadows. It's the bishop. Before Mitchell could react. the bishop is dragged by the AbsoluteSolver into a large hole leading underground.
Scientist: Oh god no....
At that moment, the computers all glow red as the cathedral starts to quake and fall apart. The scientist saw the crucifix and grabbed a hold of it.
Scientist: Mitchell! Get down, take cover!
Mitchell noddingoy agrees and rushes to avoid being crushed. He hides under one of the desks.
The scientist looks forward. Nori, under the control of the AbsoluteSolver, rises up from the abyss. She advances towards him.
AbsoluteSolver: Thanks for the new host... scientist.
She summons the crucifix her way.
AbsoluteSolver: MacGuffin.
She flings it back at the scientist , with the intention of killing him.
Only it doesn't kill him, but merely shatters the glass on the front of his helmet. It turns out, Yeva halts the crucifix, reverses it, and flings back at Nori.
AbsoluteSolver: O-O-Ow. *voice glitches* ₩Ⱨ₳₮ ł₦ ₮ⱧɆ ₴₵łɆ₦₵Ɇ...?
She yanks the crucifix out of her eye and flings it into the pit behind her as she falls to the floor.
The scientist turned to Yeva as the drone gave him a stoic look.
Scientist: You have my thanks 048. Mitchell get up! We're leaving!
Mitchel got up from his hiding spot and approached the scientist.
Mitchell: Finally-Oh god what happened to your mask?
The scientist took off his mask and it was revealed to be none other than Visar himself but younger than in the present day.
Visar: It's of no use to me anymore....
Visar notices Yeva reaches out towards Nori, but notices that the Solver is trying to regain control. Yeva slices the Solver off Nori and it falls into the pit.
Yeva helps Nori to her feet. Suddenly, a bright flash emits from the pit behind them...
Visar: No...*widened eyes*
Yeva noticed Visar and Mitchell, she used her Solver powers and pushed them out of the cathedral forcingly as they crashed on the ground.
Then an explosion occurred right in front of their eyes. Visar was silent in shock, witnessing the events that transpired...something he'd remember to this day.
"End of Flashback"
Visar closed his eyes briefly before continuing his journey to assist Lucius in getting the Solver.
Uzi, N, and Tessa both land out of the hole and underground as the entrance of the hole is blocked by falling rocks. N tries to fire at the rocks in the hopes of getting back up there.
N: Uzi! Help! Use your Solver! We must find Anton and Lucius!
Tessa: N, watch it!
N turns around. In all his efforts to move the boulders aside, he almost and unknowingly tossed some at Uzi.
Uzi: *scared snd whimpers* I... don't think I sh-should... I'm sorry, N...
N: Oh, no, no. It's okay. Uzi, I -- I am so sor-
Tessa: *brandishing her blade* Enough, N! We'll save Anton after we finish here. *turns to Uzi* Uzi, let's have you sit this one out, eh? Box over there. Robots like boxes, right?
Uzi: What? No, I-
Tessa: N?
N: *hesitantlty* ...Uzi, there, um... might be some stuff down here that you don't want to see...
Uzi: *gets up* ...Ohhhh, what the hell is going on?
N: Nothing! We don't know everything yet, but... *Turns to face Tessa* You're not gonna get hurt. OK?
Uzi: ...Hurt me?
The shock suddenly activates her Solver. She attempts to contain it, but it blows up, causing the tunnel to collapse. N attempts to reach out to Uzi, but she backs away as she and N are separated by the falling boulders and debris.
Uzi was now all alone with no one to keep her company.
No N.
No V.
No J.
And no Anton.
And the worry of Lucius still lurking around with the goal of finding her is on her mind. Paranoia is eating her mind.
Uzi: Oh Anton....how I wish you were here....
Anton and Doll were still walking through the dark tunnel, Doll could notice the human male beside her have a worried look on his face.
Doll: Is...something troubling you...?
Anton: I just hope Uzi's ok, y'know now that we're seperated again, no surprises there. Plus Lucius is around and who knows what'll happen if he finds her....
Doll reassuringly nudged his elbow with a small sympathetic smile.
Doll: Lucius not win...Uzi will be safe. You have my help.
Anton smiled back at Doll, hope was visible on his eyes. He felt determined.
Anton: Let's make it count Doll...Together!
Doll nodded and looked away with an indifferent expression, but deep down she was happy that there was no bad blood between them and that they were working together from now on.
To be continued....
OK guys this was chapter 31. Hope y'all enjoyed it.
Peace out!
