Chapter 7: Care and the Truth
Anton: Come on V, I got you.
He covered V with his taller body from the sun as they walked to find shelter.
V: We were searching for hours.... that we lost track...
Anton: Hey I see a building nearby.
With all his strength he picked V up and ran to the nearest building to get shade.
Anton sighed as he lied V nearby a pile of rubble.
Anton: I'm glad you surivived, do you need anything that I can help?
V: I need oil... the sun sapped all energy from me...
Anton: Right, I guess I better go and look. I'll be back as soon as I can.
He then ran out of the building to see the sun flash on his face, the human covered his face as he looked for any potential oil.
Anton: I really need to do something about them...
He ran around to find something to get the drone back kicking.
Anton: Oil... I gotta find oil...
"Meanwhile"
The scene changed to Uzi who woke up, she was in Anton's house waiting for the latter.
Uzi: *Yawn* Anton...?
She looked up to see both N and J were sleeping due to their own physiology.
Uzi: And they're asleep...
She got up and looked around the house to see no signs of Anton nor V.
Uzi: They're not back... did something happen to them...
She grit her teeth.
Uzi: I fucking knew it...
She then went to the door and opened it leaving the house.
Uzi: Now she's gonna get it....
She was now going to try and find Anton and V.
Uzi: But first I some back up....
"Back to Anton"
Scene changed to Anton who was still on the look out for oil.
Anton: Fuck.. there's nothing...
He then heard whistling not from afar. The latter hid behind a car.
Then a worker drone that was out patrolling came to the scene.
Anton knew that Disassembly Drone's prey were Worker Drones and that they held oil in their system. But he had some doubts.
Never in his life did he ever hurt nor kill a Worker Drone, but he was in a dire situation where he had to find oil for a drone that he promised to help.
He looked down on the ground and saw a sharp stone.
Anton: I know I'm supposed to do this... but desperate times call for desperate measures...
He picked up the stone and looked at the drone.
The scene changed to a doorbell, a hand touched it and rang out loud.
The door was opened by Thad who was in his pajamas.
Thad: Ah, Uzi! Good mor-
Uzi: No time to explain Thad, get your clothes on now!
Thad: But why?
Uzi: Anton is missing.
Thad: The human?
Uzi: Yeah the human, the one that's mostly with me where Lizzy likes to pick on him.
Thad: Wait hang on, how did Anton went-
Uzi then grabbed the male drone by the sleeves and yelled at him.
Uzi: I GOT NO TIME FOR YOUR DUMB QUESTIONS! YOU GONNA HELP OR NOT?!?
Thad: Ok ok chill girl, gimme a minute.
The door closed as Uzi waited for the jock to get dressed. A minute passed and the door opened only for Thad to get dragged out by the female drone.
Thad: Wooooooaaaaaaah!!!!
The scene changed to V who was resting, but then she heard footsteps and turned to the entrance way, she was too weak to respond.
V: Who's there?
???: Relax, it's me.
Then Anton appeared as he carried a dead Worker Drone with both arms, the visor was cracked a bit and showed "Error" on the screen.
V: Oil!
Anton then put the dead corpse down and V began feasting on it.
Anton: Hey V, do me a favour will ya. Never tell Uzi that I killed a drone with a rock. Never had I resorted to this.
V stopped midway.
V: Secret's safe with me~ don't worry hehe~.
Anton smiled and sat on the ground, sighed and looked up at the cracked ceiling.
Anton: Man...never thought I had to kill to help you survive.. I know it's not someone that's the same exact species as you... but it's still a person.
V had finished and exhaled in satisfaction.
V: Ahh~, that was good. I'm restored.
Anton: Good for you, at least you're still alive.
V: Thanks to you Anton, I never thought you'd had it in you.
Anton: I mean, I literally sacrificed myself so that Uzi can leave before. That's how much in lengths would I go.
He then looked at the Disassembly Drone who was calm.
V: I have a question, why did you save me when I was going to kill you when I just met you?
Anton then scooted next to her.
Anton: Yeah you tried to kill me and was rather rude to me in the beginning... but after my pep talk gathered some sense into you, you guys changed for the better...
He then looked at the dead drone he had killed.
Anton: Well, almost changed that is.
V chuckled.
V: Yeah but I did keep my word on not killing you nor the sad purple one.
Anton smiled.
Anton: At least you got that going V. But still I have to do something...
V: *confused* Do what?
Anton: V... how would you feel like if I tried to upgrade or reprogram your system.
V: That depends, on what you wanna try.
Anton: Well, the oil thirst problem is one issue and the second one is the sunlight one. I wanna try and fix the way you function, to get rid of the vampiric side from you. Or in words you understand to get rid of the need to suck oil and have permanent protection from the sun.
V: You wanna try and fix us?
Anton: Yeah, you N and J. I studied the ways of anatomy to know how you function, and if I could just tweak some stuff into you then all will be great.
V: Wanna do an autopsy to find out? *grin*
Anton: I would... you know after the sun goes down that is.
V: Oh I can wait till then, cutie~.
The scene changed back to Uzi and Thad who were out in the cold looking for Anton.
Thad: So Uzi, when was the last time you've seen Anton?
Uzi: He left his house with someone to get and get something. I can't tell you who tho, because if I do you'd freak out.
Thad: Freak out? Why would I do that, if Anton is friends with them then so can I.
Uzi: You rarely interact with him to know him well like I do.
Thad: Yeah, usually it's just you and him hanging out. But I thought you hated humans for the whole murder drones debacle.
Uzi: Well yes but...Anton is different... he's not like them in anyway possible. He and I can relate...
Thad: On what exactly?
Uzi: I lost my mom who was killed by a Disassembly Drone and he lost his actual parents to the explosion incident and was raised by drones.
Thad: Oh... well that sucks for both of you. Now I understand the pain the guy is going through, raised by people that aren't his kind and getting ridiculed for being different.
Uzi: Ironic since your jock and cheerleader friends sure have a knack to try and get on his neck.
Thad: Hey, I never meant ill will for the guy nor did I partake in his torture. We're just... acquaintanced for a little.
Uzi was silent as they kept going.
Thad: So....did you think who you're inviting for prom?
Uzi: Not yet, but we're in the middle of something now Thad.
Thad: Well if you still haven't got someone then I'm available.
Uzi groaned.
Uzi: For the last time...*turned to Thad* You may be hot and all, but you're not my interest! Now can we just look for Anton because I'm worried sick for him!
Thad: I'm sure Anton will be fine Zi, he's big and strong and I bet he can get out of what perdicament he's in.
Uzi: You don't understand... he might've gotten killed *mumbled* by a certain someone... *snapped out* And I don't wanna find him dead on the ground with his intrails scattered.
Thad: Man, Khan's daughter seems to care a lot for a human if that's the case-
Uzi: I DO!!!
She stopped walking and turned to face the male drone in front of her with an angry glare.
Uzi: You may not care about him, but I fucking do!
Thad was shocked and silent, seeing how Uzi finally snapped at him.
Uzi went from angry to sad, she sniffed.
Uzi: I...care for him... I don't want to lose the only person I had in up until now...
She sniffed again.
Uzi: He was there for me when my dad was busy with his dumb doors...he was the only one that shielded me and relied on... the shoulder that he offered me to lean on...
She fell on her knees and began crying.
Uzi: My mom may be in Robo-Heaven... but I like to think she sent an angel to look after me in her place....that angel being him... that's why I don't want him to be gone... He's the angel that I adore...
Thad felt bad for her and patted her shoulder.
Thad: I... didn't know you felt for him that way Uzi. I'm so sorry.
Uzi: I see him more than just a friend....I can't stop thinking about him Thad...
She sniffed, Thad brushed off her tears.
Uzi: I...I.......I love him....
She hugged Thad, the male returned the hug to his fellow Worker Drone.
Thad: Relax Uzi, we'll find Anton. I know he's out there somewhere, I can feel it.
Uzi calmed down and got up.
Thad: Let's go and find him. *smiled*
Uzi: Ok. *smiled*
The scene changed back to Anton and V who chatted more.
V: And you stuffed N in a locker? That's hilarious!
Anton: I had to do what I had to do, I then had him be a fake prototype to fool everyone in the school just to save his sorry ass.
V: Always so clever with your plans, for a human you sure are crafty.
Anton: I mean do you know any other humans beside me back in JensenCorp?
V: I mean, I had but I'm not in good terms with most humans. Other than you do.
Anton chuckled.
Anton: Not a surprise there.
V: You know, J and N are right. You're not that bad. You're really fun once I got to know you. And then you offered to fix me, I mean it's gonna take some time to getting used to not attacking workers but if I wanna roam around freely without the sun fucking cooking me I'll take the chances and place my trust in you.
Anton: I can't make any promises tho. I'll try my best to try and do this autopsy, or at least how you put it that way.
V: If you somehow screw it all up.... You'll be tha patient and I'll be the surgeon next round *calm yet menacing smile*
Anton was now scared and gulped, V just laughed.
V: Oh man did I get you good huh? Hahahahahaha!!
Anton: Oh haha really funny. You're quite the prankster V, I tip the crown to you.
V then yawned and rested her head on Anton's left shoulder.
V: Man I feel sleepy...*dozes off* Zzzzzzzzz.
Anton smiled at the now resting V.
Anton: Rest up V, the sun will be out when you know it.
Then he heard a voice from afar.
???: ANTON!!!
He turned around as he recognized that voice.
He then looked down at V and slowly crept out of her and let's her rest peacefully.
He then walked outside to see Uzi and Thad calling for him.
Uzi: ANTON!
Thad: BRO! Where are you!?
Anton smiled.
Anton: *waved* Guys! Over here!
Thad saw Anton waving.
Thad: Uzi, he's over there!
Uzi turned and saw Anton waving. The female smiled like she never did before.
Uzi: Anton! *ran to him*
Thad: Hey wait up! *follows*
Anton ran to them and stopped on his tracks.
Anton: Guys so good to-
He was tackled to the ground by Uzi, the latter was on the ground while the female drone was ontop of them.
Uzi: Where were you Anton? I was worried sick, I thought that bitch killed you.
Anton: Ok I'll explain just get off me.
Uzi separated from Anton and helped him get up
Anton saw Thad catch up.
Anton: Thad? I'm surprised you decided to look for me.
Thad: Well, Uzi here is desperate to find you so she came to me for help and I gladly helped her.
Anton: Ah, I mean thanks.
Uzi: How's the bitch doing?
Anton: You mean V? The sun almost killed her and I brought her to safety.
Thad: *Confused* V? Who's V?
Anton and Uzi looked at one another.
Anton: Should we tell him?
Thad: Tell me what?
Uzi: *nods* Go first.
Anton: Thad... we're friends with a couple of Disassembley Drones.
Thad was shocked.
Thad: SAY WHAT?!
Uzi: Look I know you're thinking they're evil and kill drones but these ones changed sides.
Thad: And how do you expect me to believe that? I get it being friends with a human is one thing and now murder drones into the mix?
Anton: Thad, listen. I'm gonna fix them.
Thad turned to Anton.
Thad: Fix them?
Anton: I'm gonna get rid of their need for oil and that way they won't harm anyone. But it's gonna take me time, but I am gonna need some help.
Uzi: Help on what?
Anton: You'll see Uzi, I know what I'm gonna try and do... *turned to Thad* Thad, will you swear and not tell anyone about the fact me and Uzi hide Disassembley Drones?
Thad was silent. He looked at Anton, and then at Uzi.
Thad: Alright, I'll do it. You have my word Anton.
Anton and Uzi smiled as Thad was now one of them.
Uzi hugged Anton, the latter hugged her back with one arm.
Uzi: Never do that again.
Anton: Can't make any promise Uz.
Uzi: Bite me!
Thad: Yeah you guys so are perfect for one another.
They laughed.
End.
OK guys, this was chapter 7.
Peace out!
