"Oh my goodness, what the hell happened to him?!"

"I don't... I don't know! I don't understand o-oh sewing machine, Two is going to be so mad-"

"Do you even know what happened?? Weren't you awake?!"

"I-I was on the computer! I-I had been on it for a while and then asked him for something. I didn't get a reply and found him like this!-"

"Y-You know, if.. you get blamed for this.."

"I-I know!! Please just try to help him-"

Last night they were attacked.

It was hard to say how, or by who, but they were attacked. It didn't make sense because Roboty, who was on duty watching the area, hadn't seen anyone. His robotic senses allowed him to have thermal sensors too, (only close by, it can't detect too far) and he hadn't seen anyone around.

So nobody had entered through the exit, but they had still been attacked. And not only had they been attacked, their weapons had been stolen.

Only one was injured, aka Nickel. It wasn't exactly clear why he had been the only one hurt, maybe because he managed to spot them. But Needle was .. confused. She didn't hear his screams or.. anything like that. She didn't know who it could've been or what they could've exactly done, but as soon as Two had found out...

"RIGHT."

He had gathered everyone into the assembly room. They were all in lines depending on what job they had. Basketball would be on her own for example since she was the only medic, and Liy, Loser, Leafy, Balloony, Fries, Puffball, Yellowface, Stapy, Marker, and Bell were all in a line because they were on front row.

Donut and Coiny were stood either side of Two like usual, Donut looking away. He really did dislike doing this, he knew it made him look bad.. whenever he just.. stood with Two.

"I want to know what the hell happened last night!!!" He shouted, glaring at them all angrily, "What the HELL?!" He had his hands into fists, staring them all down. They flinched at each word he shouted, a little afraid.

"ROBOTY. You were supposed to be on duty. What happened?!"

".. / -.. --- -. .----. - / -.- -. --- .-- .-.-.- / .. / -.. .. -.. -. .----. - / ... . . / .- -. -.-- --- -. . / .- .-. --- ..- -. -.. / .. -. / - .... . / .- .-. . .- .-.-.-"

"Translator can you please decipher that?!" He glared over at Gelatin, who flinched

"Oooh, uh, yeah. He said he doesn't know cuz he didn't see anyone around in the area..." He shrugged, Two glared, he was really aggressive.

"Did you detect anyone around?!"

"-. --- .-.-.- / --- -. .-.. -.-- / ..-. .-. . . / ..-. --- --- -.. / .- ..-. - . .-. / - .... . -.-- / -.-. .- -- . / -... .- -.-. -.- / ..-. .-. --- -- / - .... . .. .-. / .... ..- -. - / --- .-. / .-- .... .- - . ...- . .-. .-.-.-"

"What did he say??" Two looked back over at Gelatin, everyone else hesitant.

".. He uhh, said no. Only Free Food once they came back from their hunt."

"What doors did they go through??" He was getting angrier and angrier the less this made sense.

If they went through the main doors it would lead to the hallways and rooms in which everyone works in, aka where they would've been able to attack Nickel. However you needed a passcode for these doors. If they went through the side doors, it would lead to a back room, and through there you could get to the rooms where they would be able to rest.

Roboty paused for a moment, everyone watching this play out. ".. - / .-- .- ... / - .... . / ... .. -.. . / -.. --- --- .-. ..."

Gelatin rubbed the back of his head "He said they went through the side doors."

Two groaned loudly and went to punch the floor, Donut flinching and Coiny holding the sword tighter "This is.. absolutely unacceptable!!" He shouted, looking back up "We almost lost a member of our team and not only that, we don't even know who did it! Don't even get me started on the robbery that happened. Even if someone here did attack Nickel they wouldn't have anywhere to hide the stolen stuff except in their rooms!!"  He screamed.

He tried to take a deep breath, before looking at Donut "Go check everyones rooms for the weapons then report back to me. Everyone get back to work. Members in weaponry you have a lot of work to do so get busy." He gritted through his teeth. He had his hand into a fist, the other pointing to the door.

Donut looked away and groaned quietly, beginning to walk to the door.. great. Now he would have to look through all these rooms even though he doubted anyone had actually stole it. Well from here anyways. It could've been someone from outside but.. who?

"Yo! D!" Gelatin went to catch up with Donut, running over to him as he was heading out "You cool?" He gave finger guns.

Donut rubbed his head "Not so much. I have to look through everyones rooms. As you heard already.."

"Aw man. That sucks," Gelatin grinned a bit "Bbut hey! Maybe I could help you?"

"Why would you want to do that..." Donut questioned.

He hesitated "Well cuz, I just wanna help you out, duh! Beats sitting around all day. Cloudy has the day shift for look out so I don't needuh translate whatever that bucket of bolts has gotta say. We could hang out!"

Donut raised an eyebrow, leaving out the doors of the room. ".. After I look through them all I have to get right back to Two. I can't be with you all day." He argued. Gelatin nudged his arm "But hanging with me for a little while might be fun right??"

Donut winced, leaving and heading to the dorms "As if.." Though, company sounded nice.

Donut was still conflicted on who did that to them. It was concerning, definitely considering they were attacking people while doing so.. why did they attack? And why Nickel?

"So you have no idea what happened?" Barfbag looked at Needle, concerned.

How did she not notice Nickel being attacked? He was made out of metal and to be put in such a critical condition was...

It was surprising. And .. offputting. Someone strong did that to him, but who... and how?

"N-No.. I don't.." she gazed to the side "I don't wanna get the blame for this, Barfbag.."

Basketball looked at her nervously "I-I'm sure you won't. Sure you're a ..suspect but you don't really have a reason to do that, do you? Two will.. see through that ...I'm sure." Tennisball nodded.

She crossed her arms, gazing to the side "I really hope so.."

"Basketball. A word"

Twos voice pierced through them all, sending a sick feeling through their bodies. They didn't even know why.. maybe it was just because Two was in a bad mood today.

She looked over "R-Right! .. Of course.."

The others from main team looked at her nervously for a moment, before quickly departing and leaving the room. They needed to get back to what they were doing anyways, they would have to be more alert thanks to... that..

".. What is it?" She spoke, a little nervous to be alone with him, listening to the echo of the door closing throughout the room.

He sighed, closing his eyes a bit and pressing his forehead, looking back at her "This is about Nickel. Duh. How's his condition.."

"H-He's ... unconscious. He's alive but I have him on life support.. well the only bed that has life support available. H-He really got messed up.."

Two growled, gazing to the side "We need to figure out exactly who did this and why."

She nodded, "R-Right.." It was weird that out of everyone, Nickel was the one that was targeted but, there was no point thinking about it.

"Any signs of recovery?"

She hesitated ".. He... might.. not recover so easily.." she looked away "...He might need replacements... maybe cybernetic enhancements..well the limbs and.. well.. if he ever wants to be able to see again.. the eyes.. and well-"

"Well get too it, then. I order you to preform a surgery on him. He needs to be back in commission as soon as possible! We can't waste time, or lives."

She nodded "R-Right.." she felt a little bad.. I mean, doing all that to Nickels body without him having a say? Well, it was all in favour of him being able to live but.. it was still...

"Now go. I have to help the guys in weaponry start up again" he gritted his teeth a bit.. he couldn't believe someone would just.. do that. It was most likely someone from outside but.. it wasn't even possible for them to get in.

She nodded quickly, before scuttling off.

"It's a little surprising over what happened to Nickel, huh guys?" Leafy spoke, looking at the others from front row as they walked back to their area.

Well, front row minus Free Food. They hung out on their own, doing their own thing together. They didn't really interact with anyone else. Stapy would if he could but he was kinda... well, you get the idea.

This group consisted of well, the strongest of the whole group Two had.

Balloony rolled his eyes, hoisting his gun up on his shoulder ".. I suppose. It's obvious it had something to do with Needle. I mean, she said she didn't even know how it happened. How? They were in the same room."

Loser kept walking with his hands behind his back, his eyes lidded as he walked "Mm. Lets just see how things play out, hm?" He spoke after, his posture straight.

His voice made them all be quiet, it was unsettling and broke their silence. Liy huffed, crossing her arms "Do we have to talk about Nickel? He's not even that interesting,"

"I'll say," Loser spoke, keeping his gaze on the way he was heading. Balloony raised an eyebrow, still holding his gun ".. Right. I suppose. Well.." he rubbed the back of his head "What even is there to talk about.."

Leafy shrugged ".. We don't have to talk about Nickel, but how did that attacker even.. do all that?"

"Well. If it wasn't someone from here, then obviously the attacker must've been from outside, and robo-ass already told us he saw nobody... sooo." She looked at them with a mischievous grin "I think we should go look around to see if they got in anywhere else."

Balloony hesitated, looking over at her. Loser didn't react, still walking "Like, they could've broke a window maybe?" She shrugged. Loser closed his eyes "Impossible. It would've set the alarms off."

"Maybe they dug a tunnel?" Leafy pondered, looking at them to see how they would react to her suggestion.

Liy hummed "Hmm.. that might be possible. Well, we should look anyways. Lets go explore the border of the building,"

Loser looked at them "No." He spoke, stopping. Balloony stumbled, moving his gaze over to him, curious "Hm? Why not?"

".. I don't feel like wasting my precious time on something that might not even mean anything." He looked at his hand ".. Especially with all of you. So I won't be joining"

"Yikes," Leafy mumbled "Wellllll thats fine! Just in case Two needs one of us you should go back anyways."

He put his hand back behind his back "Of course," he went to part, leaving the three there.

Liy raised an eyebrow "Man. He's freaky. Freakier than us." She looked back at them "Weeell lets start! I wanna find any leads onto how this happened "

"If you're that willing to then.. sure.." Balloony mumbled.
