Lupin came back to the bar and passed the grocery bag to Mr James. He went to the room and closed the door. He looked at the ceiling while sliding down on the door. He inserted his hands into his pocket and took out a packet. The night was dark. Unusually dark. Axel was busy fixing Lupin's computer that Jimmy had broken. Jimmy was watching the subway series on the television when the broadcast was suddenly stopped and a news flashed in.

The plane from New York to Los Angeles was hijacked. As the reporter explained the circumstances, the sirens went off. They all ran towards the basement. Axel looked at them, "The computer isn't fixed yet, sorry."

"How are we going to find them?" Norman asked. Suddenly, Mr James came running into the basement.
"Asselyum," He brought his phone before her.
"What is it, Mr James?" She asked.
"There's an X-DROID on the plane. Someone leaked this footage from within the plane,"

Asselyum looked at the footage, "That's Emmett."
"Emmett?!" Norman shouted.

"Oh no." MiK clicked his tongue.

"Who is Emmett?" Slaine asked.

"The fifth member of 5th Oblivion."

"What?! The passengers are in danger. We have to save them!" Slaine shouted.
"You can't teleport without the computer. Thanks to someone, it is completely destroyed." Axel gave a dirty look to Jimmy.
"Hey, that ain't my fault! Someone decided to fight me mid-training." Jimmy glared at MiK.

"Norman and I can't fly. Asselyum, you have to do this alone." MiK told her.

"Asselyum is the fifth code. She can't fight an Oblivion type alone. Besides, Jimmy can't connect without the computers" Mr James said. Axel glared at Jimmy.
"It wasn't my fault, okay?!"
"I'll do it." Asselyum stepped forward.
"Can you fly to such a high altitude?"

"It's not a matter of I can or can't."

She jumped outside the balcony. Her boots quickly gave off a huge amount of sparks and she flew up with a thrusting force. As she went higher and higher, she pressed her ear and joined her connectivity with the plane. All the boys could see what she could see through her eyes on a Mac screen. Meanwhile, Axel continued on fixing the computer at full speed.

She communicated with the pilot.
"Who are you?" They asked.
"I'm here for the rescue. Open the back door of the plane."
"But-"
"Hurry,"

They quickly opened the back door and Asselyum went inside. She walked inside the plane and opened the door to the passengers' cabin. There she found Emmett with a dead boy in her hands.

She was feeding on it while all the passengers shrivelled back into their seats with fear. Slaine almost puked while looking at that. She kept the dead and crushed body aside and got up. She had dark blue skin and dark blue hair with a wolf mask on her head and huge tusks protruding out of the mask.

"An ANDRIOD?" She seemed scared as her voice trembled before Asselyum. This was new to the boys. They were shocked that one of the "strongest" X-DROIDS was scared of an ANDROID.
"Well, this is new," Jimmy said.
"Emmett, that sly bitch." MiK said.
"It's over, Emmett," Asselyum pulled out her runblaster, "I'm taking you to hell."

"Please don't hurt me," Emmett begged "I was just hungry, that's all."

Asselyum fired the blaster but she dodged it and ran to the other corner of the plane. She did not plan on attacking Asselyum at all, she was just defending herself.
"Is she weak?" Slaine asked.
"No, she just plays dirty," Mik said.

Emmett ran inside the business class area of the plane and Asselyum followed her. Everyone got up slowly as they looked at the fight. Jimmy suddenly got up.

"What happened?" Slaine asked. All the boys turned and looked at him.

"That--My dad is there!"

"What?!" Axel yelled.
"Where?" Mr James asked.

Asselyum was busy fighting with Emmett, who would apologise every time she would hit Asselyum. Jimmy's father just stared at them like all other passengers. Emmett had formed a huge water sword behind Asselyum's back while she was busy fighting with her.

"Watch out!" Mr Valentine shouted and Asseyum turned back dodging the sword. Finally, Emmett found a way to escape. Without further ado, Emmett ran towards the window, broke it and jumped out. The pressure difference caused the air to flow from inside the cabin to outside at a very violent rate. Some of the passengers were sucked out of it and instantly died. The hole was only expanding after that bringing all the aeroplane systems to fail. The pressure equilibrium inside the plane crashed, and it caught on fire.

The plane began falling.

"Daddy!" Jimmy shouted. Asselyum jumped out of the hole and flew to the base of the plane. She tried picking it up and somehow slowing it down but it was too heavy and gravity was much stronger than her. She realised that it wasn't working. Soon, her system overheated and her body caught fire. Her systems began heating up until it was five seconds to shut down. Begrudgingly, she finally had to let go of the plane. She moved away and the plane crashed into the Atlantic ocean, "DAD!" 

Jimmy fell down, "Dad..."
"Jimmy, control yourself,"

"Dad... No... It can't be." Jimmy gaped as he fell down. His mind seemed to be falling apart as he remembered the memories they made together. How he bought Jimmy everything he wanted and how much he loved him. Jimmy began to cry.

Axel had fixed the computer by then. But it was too late. Asselyum lay there on the coast of the empty beach with plane parts coming through tides and waves, sweeping the blood-filled waves on her face.

One hundred and eighty people died in that plane crash. Their families were given the compensation but money could never replace a life. The next day, Jimmy draped a black suit and went to the church with Slaine and Asselyum. He was asked to put his hair down so that they wouldn't recognise him.

He was weeping the entire time. He would pause for a bit, but then start crying again. He regretted being in that position where his father died thinking his son was dead. He wanted to be with him a bit longer. 

"He's crying a lot," Slaine said.
"The man who died was his father, Slaine," Asseylum said.

"Can't relate. I ain't got no parents."

"I would cry too if my creator dies."
"Bullshit, you're a robot. You can't cry,"

She looked at him.

"Then, would you cry if someday I were to die? Maybe break so bad that I can't ever get fixed again?"

"Let's not think about that."
