In the AI dimension, they were under guard at Lava Caverns until the supplies they needed to press forward came. They stayed in the garage as their temporary home base while they defended and took out the surrounding outposts so that the drill can't happen again.

Thursday: How far are the supplies out?

Rory: A few hours, one of the wolves went out and is escorting it here.

Thursday: How is the patient?

Trent: She is stable.

Thursday: What's her name?

Trent: She is named Yvonna but she likes to be called just V.

Thursday: Well we wait till they get here, how are the outpost takedowns?

Rory: The team is finishing up the last ones and they are reporting successful recovery of resources, AIs and weapons.

Trent: Everyone, V is waking up.

V was waking up and she was trying to get up.

Trent: Don't move so much.

V: Ugh, where am I?

Trent: The Serpent medical bay, now it's going to be a shock to you but...

V: My arm and leg is shot off and you replaced them, yeah, last thing I remembered before I blacked out.

Trent: And I got to configure your arm and leg to get you back to the fight. Try moving like you would normally would so that I can register them correctly.

She was moving her hand how she used to and it was being picked up on the mechanics. They went slowly to fix her hand and leg until she had full functionality, mostly.

Trent: That is the best I can do, you are going to have to learn the rest by yourself.

V: I'll manage.

V got up and was using her mechanical leg but it was heavier so Trent attached a minor Exo-suit to relieve some of the weight. Once she was good she walked to the bridge.

V: How is it looking out there?

AI: Cleaning up, the supplies will be here soon.

V: I should be back out there.

Just then Thursday was over the com.

Thursday: Hold your horses' missy; you are not getting back to this field unless we check you out.

V: Thursday, you of all people would want to get back into this fight.

Thursday: I know what is going through your veins right now and that is the reason why I'm benching you. It's one of the reasons why my old team is dead and I'm not going to lose this one.

V: But Thursday...

Thursday: No buts get back to one hundred percent and then I can let you be back in the field and that's an order.

V: -sighs- Yes sir.

Thursday gets back to everyone else and V sits down at one of the controls. An AI comes over and talks to her.

AI: You know he is right; you wouldn't last much out there, not without getting used to your new appendages.

V: You really don't know emotions.

AI: No.

V: Well, it's better than nothing, are you trying to help me.

AI: Trying to.

V: What's your name?

AI: Kevin.

V: Well Kevin, you should think on how you say a few more things to a person like a human.

Kevin: That I have to understand, as in are you dressed like a boy or a girl?

V: The term is called tomboy.

V likes to be a tomboy; she wears a small shirt, tight jeans, and boots. Well glove and boot since her leg and arm is mechanized now.

Kevin: Why are you dressed like that?

V: Some girls think living the normal life is not suited for us.

Kevin: Like Jade and Trinity?

V: Those two are the head example.

Kevin: Girls hardly enter the arena or even go after those sections at all, hardly a handful at most.

V: We may look good but we are a tough type, but we are a small group, mostly loners.

Kevin: Were you a loner?

V: A long time till I got asked to come here. No one else would take it at the school so I thought I would.

Kevin: What school did you take?

V: Computering, I write programming, one of the reasons why I got the opportunity in the first place.

Kevin: But becoming a part of it doesn't freak you out?

V: One of my crazy things was getting mechanized a little but I didn't think it would actually happen.

Kevin: Would you like for me to help you with your new parts?

V: Going to have to until I am allowed to head back out in the field.

Kevin: Follow me.

Kevin was teaching V how to use her new leg and arm. After an hour, the supplies came and not only that new teammates and Spartans were coming in. Five new Spartans of different design were escorting the supplies.

Thursday: Holy...

They all pulled into the garage and stopped.

Thursday: What is all of this??

An Arachne came out of her armor and came down.

Arachne: These are brand new Spartans that have been built for combat to our specifications.

There were five brand new Spartans; the Arachne was driving an exact one built just like her, legs included. A Lamia was also driving one as her as well. A harpy was there as well and her Spartan was actually flying and it was working exactly with her body and last but not least was two wolf Spartans that were fierce and ready to rock.

Harpy: The AIs in AI city was doing some heavy research and development on better ways to combat the zombies along with the Mega laser development. They built these after seeing us in action and they work exactly like us.

Thursday: Any other upgrades?

Arachne: Big time, along with these new Spartans they thought of the hybrid children, so they made it so that all Spartans can use these attachments to fly, run at advanced speed and do some of our abilities.

Thursday: That is a major upgrade.

Arachne: But we had to stop at the other cities for the upgrades you got, we just need to get the one from here last.

Thursday: How long will that take?

AI: Twenty minutes, also, one of us is going with you to keep the heat to energy converters.

AI: I am called Jae and I would be honored to join your team.

Thursday: The more the merrier, let's get these upgrades done and move out.

All of them headed inside and hooked on the extra trailers with the Serpent. After receiving the upgrades, everyone moved out. They all left Lava Caverns together and that was when Kym met up with the rest of the team after they secured Solar Sanctuary.

Kym: Hey guys, how much fun did I miss?

Thursday: A whole lot but we are going to get more at the dam.

Rory: We are over fifty miles away from it.

Aria called over the com.

Aria: Serpents, we are preparing the Mega laser to fire, by the time you get there we will be ready to fire.

Thursday: Roger that.

All of the Spartans were loaded up into the Serpents and the new members.

Arachne: The wolf Spartan were following us on auto-pilot, two wolves are going to have to take control of them.

Werewolf: I'll take it.

Werewolf: Me too.

Arachne: They work the same way you transform.

Rory: We got sun all the way, want to go full throttle?

Thursday: Let's see what this baby can do!

Rory gunned it to full throttle, with the solar power and the heat to energy converter attached to the engines taking the heat from it and powering it to the tires. Vile and Kym were gunning it as well to the dam but they were stopped when they saw some Zombies coming their way.

Trent: We got zombies close to the dam, they are transporting Solphite!

Thursday: Let's break out the Spartans, get above them and see what they are up to with it at the dam.

Everyone went to the Spartans to launch for the fight and then they grabbed weapons from the armory and loaded up on the Solphite solution. The lava Megs could be filled with the Solphite solution to deliver a long range shot. One of the Spartans grabbed the wings attachment and took off into the skies with the Harpy Spartan. While the Spartans were dealing with the transport on the ground, they got high enough to see the dam and figure out why they were transporting Solphite.

AI: Uh everyone, we got a problem!

Thursday: What?

AI: They filled the dam with Solphite, if they release it onto everyone downstream, which means everyone is going to be deleted at the hands of the Solphite!!

Thursday: Is there enough to neutralize it?

AI: Not even close to how much we currently have!

Rory: How did they even make so much in that time?

AI: I have no idea but we should neutralize this as fast as possible.

Thursday: How full do they have it?

Harpy: Almost to the top!

Thursday: We have to get rid of it!

Trent: How? If we manage to get rid of the AI's up there we can't create enough solution for all of it.

Thursday: Show me a map.

Trent sent Thursday a map of the area and he realized not one but two factories were nearby.

Thursday: They must be pumping the Solphite directly from the factories to the dam, even if we shut those down, they still have enough to flood the entire area.

Rory: So what can we do?

Thursday: Get to the controls before they get to release the Solphite.

Rory: We will have to keep them busy and find a way to seal up the floodgates.

Vile: I remember we made some extra metal plates just in case of another drill.

Thursday: Ok, you three are going back to get them, you are going to seal the floodgates shut with a lava thrower. Some of us will breach in and get to the control panel to shut things down; the rest of us will deal with any surrounding AIs to lighten the load.

Kym: What about the factories?

Thursday: That's where the two wolf Spartans come in, they can dig up the pipes and stop sending the Solphite to the dam. The Spider Spartan has the lava thrower.

Jae: We brought extra lava Megs.

Thursday: Ok, everyone break and go to their positions now!

Everyone hurried to their posts and launched the Spartans, the Harpy, AI, and Vile went back to get the metal plates. The two wolves deployed and were ready, so was the normal Spartans.

Thursday: Aria, we would like that pathway up to the dam, right now.

Aria: We are aware of the current situation; the Mega laser is ready to fire.

Thursday: Start carving.

Aria commanded the Mega Laser and she was carving a path in the side of the cliff while everyone was rushing towards the dam. Aria set the laser at the angle so that it would create a slope when the solid rock would melt and she would move it and decrease the blast to make a good enough pathway to the top. When Aria was finished, she turned off the Mega laser and allowed the team to advance up the hill while they dealt with any zombies, Spartans and siphons, due to several sources of energy and not enough to pull away.

The Spartans were kicking butt on everything at the bottom of the dam, meanwhile the Serpent, the Arachne Spartan and the two wolf Spartans went straight up the route and split up from there. The wolves went into a sprint and were sniffing out the pipes with a Spartan with a speed boost to a section of pipe far away enough from the action to start digging; the wolf Spartan dug while the normal Spartan watched its back,

The Arachne Spartan was climbing the walls like a spider thanks to studying the Exoskeleton and understanding how it works to distribute weight and cling onto walls. Rory was latched onto the back of the Spartans backwards so that she could watch its back and take out hard targets. The Arachne Spartan had the lava thrower with all the lava Megs it could carry. It kept moving until it reached the dam floodgates. The Arachne saw Vile and the others coming in with the metal pieces. Vile and the AI came with the pieces and put them on the floodgates. The Arachne came with the lava launcher and was welding them together. Vile was watching their backs with Rory to let them get the work done.

While all of that was going on the Serpent pulled near the entrance and a team of AIs, humans and the other wolves came out, they readied themselves and the Serpent headed back to join the fight above the dam with the Lamia Spartan and Kym kept the entrance clear so the team inside could not be ambushed.

Thursday: All right everyone, we move in quickly but carefully, we don't want to give them a chance to open the floodgates. How are we doing on sealing those floodgates?

Arachne: Starting to seal them up, but you might want to speed it up, I think they are starting to undo the floodgates.

Rory: They must have disconnected the alarm to the dam controls so that they we would have no chance to evacuate or raise alarm.

Thursday: How long do we have?

Rory: From the sound of the gears, five minutes.

Thursday: You heard them, let's move.

Thursday's team moved into the base and was taking out any AIs they saw, the AIs had Solphite weapons but a few of the team members carried the Solphite solution to neutralize any Solphite threat. They were moving throughout the compound.

Thursday: Everyone split up, one team heads to the gears to shut it down manually while we head to the controls.

The team split into two and headed down to the gear assembly to shut things down manually. Thursday guided the team to the main control but they were ready to repel Thursday's team.

Thursday: Oh boy, pinned down, just like old times.

Thursday grabbed an EMP grenade and tied it to a normal grenade. He pulled both pins at the same time and threw it at the barricade. The Zombie AIs stopped working and the grenade with the extra shrapnel from the EMP being deployed was enough to destroy the AIs blocking the front lines.

Thursday: Move up!

While they were moving up the Wolf Spartans finished digging and exposed the pipes. The Spartan that was with them squeezed the pipes until it was flat and no more Solphite could be sent to the dam.

Human: The Solphite feeding has been stopped.

AI: Same here.

Harpy: Too late, the dam is filled completely.

Rory: I can hear the gates opening.

Vile: Everyone, send their swords up here!

A Spartan was near the Serpent and the Serpent opened the armory. The Spartan started throwing swords to Vile and he started jamming the gears to prevent the floodgates from moving.

Vile: That won't hold for long!

Thursday: Roger that, pick up the pace!

Thursday and his team picked up the pace to the main controls and got there.

Thursday: Talk to me, how do you shut down this dam?

AI: They smashed the controls and any external way of making a connection.

V: Is there any Wi-Fi signals coming from the dam?

AI: One but...

V: That is all I need.

V went to a control panel and started hacking but her mechanical hand was giving her trouble.

V: I can't control my mechanical arm correctly.

Kevin: Let me help, tell me the codes to put in, use your good arm to guide me.

V guided Kevin at what to do and she backed him up on the code so that it was correct.

V: That's it, use the command right there.

Kevin: Got it.

Both of them worked together and hacked the dam.

Kevin: Override complete, reversing the command on the floodgates.

Rory: Not enough time, the Solphite is coming through!

The Solphite was starting to spill below.

Thursday: Get away from there!

The Harpy Spartan and the normal Spartan grabbed the Arachne Spartan and got it away from the Solphite in time. Vile started to drop the metal pieces he has to try and block the Solphite from spreading.

AI: We will neutralize as much as we can but you have to close those floodgates fast!

Thursday was thinking fast and he had an idea.

Thursday: Aria, is the Mega laser ready to fire again?

Aria: It is, why?

Thursday: I want you to hit the Solphite until it hits its evaporation point.

AI: Bad idea, it would make acid rain due to its composition.

Rory: What about reversing it?

Thursday: Icing it up?

Aria: We have thought about it but you need to hold it for at least a minute for us to change the polarity.

Thursday: A Mega Ice Beam... it could work.

Aria: Switching polarity now.

While they were switching polarities, the Serpent came and started spraying the solution to buy time. But there was a problem.

Werewolf: Everyone, units are being deployed from the factories, how should we proceed?

Thursday: Fall back and run them into us, detach the solution tanks.

Everyone hurried to the top of the dam while they detached the solution. They all headed up the dam to the incoming zombies. They all made a line and started putting rounds down. Kym made a trench and block to absorb shots and give them an option to duck down and not get hit. With the new weapons and modifications they were able to hold the line and keep it.

In all that time the Mega ice beam fired and the Solphite was being iced up. Aria started to move the beam towards the dam and started to ice up the dam. Once the beam was on it enough it completely iced into one big block of hardened Solphite and then she moved it while it was still firing to the Zombie AIs.

Aria: Everyone might want to make a hole in their defense.

Everyone saw the beam coming and made a hole to let it pass. They saw the beam pass by and the ice was starting to freeze the ground, once it got past the team Aria turned up the energy and made it ice things a lot faster.

AI: Your majesty, the beam won't last much longer.

Aria: Then I make the shot count.

Aria went straight for the factories and iced them completely up before she had to turn off the ice beam.

Aria: Will that work?

Thursday: Like a charm, moving now.

With the factories no longer working, they had no chance to recover. Everyone worked together and defeated what was left and secured the area. They rounded up and used the virus buster on what was left and secured the factories. Some of the water AIs was coming around and they were operational.

Water AI: Thank you for freeing us, we will help you with upgrades to your equipment.

Thursday: Our pleasure, we heard you have a sub-station here to Origin?

Water AI: It is this way.

They followed the water AI inside to a secret compartment that he opened. When they went inside, they found a server heavily damaged.

Water AI: Oh no.

Thursday: I may not know computers that much but that looks bad.

Rory: It is.

All of them went to the server to assess the damage and it was not good, parts were sparking, drives damaged, motherboards crushed and wires severed.

Rory: This is very bad.

Water AI: Some of the hard drives have been stolen that contain important blueprints and schematics for everything we ever know.

Thursday: Can you tell how much was taken.

Water AI: I would have to do a diagnostic check on all of these to see what was taken, but one thing is for sure. They took the Origin AIs that govern this server.

Thursday: Wasn't this place on lockdown?

Water AI: When we saw them coming, no one else could access this area until the threat was neutralized, even with us being taken over the Origin AIs would know.

Rory: Everyone, I got an intact hard drive, it looks to be one of the origin AIs.

Everyone came over to the hard drive and it was dented.

Water AI: It's in bad shape; we need to get this one into a new hard drive.

Rory: We have spares in the Serpent.

Thursday: Let's move!

Everyone hurried to the Serpent and plugged the damaged hard drive into a console with a new hard drive.

Rory: They are corrupted with lines of code missing.

Thursday: Alright V, if you can hack you can rebuild this AI's codes for it to come back online.

V: I need a copy of anyone's code to find similarities.

Trent: Here.

V was working her magic and managed to find similarities enough to bring it over and bring it back. Once everything was right she booted it up.

Origin AI: Alert: system rebooting, operating at fifty percent.

V: Going to take a while to get it to one hundred percent but she can talk to us.

Water AI: Origin AI, can you hear us?

Origin AI: Confirmed, but this is not my station, where am I?

Water AI: You are in a new hard drive because the server where you are stationed is destroyed and a team of humans, AIs and monsters rescued you.

Origin AI: I remember, an alliance was being formed and several were dispatched to deal with the zombie threat that surfaced not long before you all arrived.

Water AI: We saw the server broken into and several of the AIs and information was stolen.

Origin AI: That is impossible, we made sure no one would be granted access unless...

Thursday: Unless what?

Origin AI: Quart must have... error...error.

V took the Origin AI offline.

V: She got an error while looking through her memory banks, going to take a while to get her back to one hundred percent.

Thursday: Work on that, we have to stay here for a while until we neutralize all of that Solphite and allow them to rebuild. Since we took out the factories they won't advance.

Water AI: No, there is one place left, the wind AIs in the Flying City.

Thursday: How high is it?

Water AI: High enough that airflow is constant.

Trent: We are going to need a big upgrade to allow the Serpent to fly.

V: Wait a minute, who was that Quart she was talking about?

Aria: I believe I can answer that. Quart is an AI that thought the alliance and the hybrid kids were a flawed evolution. He left after we all agreed to from the alliance after getting news of the hybrid children and how possibilities of evolution are endless.

Thursday: That would set anyone off but how he would get past the security there?

V: Is there a camera near there?

Water AI: On a separate server, we keep it that way so they can't get to the camera's feed.

V: Nice thinking, there is an encryption there though.

The Water AI plugged in and lifted the encryption. V found the most recent video file and played it. They saw Quart and he had an antenna on his back, but he wasn't being controlled like the others. He was actually in control of himself.

Thursday: He is not moving like the others, it looks like he is in control like normal and was granted access into the room.

Rory: He must be working for the central computer behind this, the antenna is most likely for keeping the connection.

Kevin: But why would he betray his own kind.

V: Must think you guys have a flaw in your code.

Rory: What can we do?

Thursday: What we are going to do is find the central computer and destroy it. Secure everything from here going back to AI city; we don't want to lose our ground now. Also, hide the portal; if they sneak into the other dimension, the children are at risk.

Aria: Everyone is being outfitted with a Spartan and we have something for Vile, we are building a Spartan capable of fitting him to be more powerful.

Vile: Me driving a Spartan?

Aria: Exactly.

Vile: Nice.

Thursday: Secure the dam first.

Everyone split up and was helping to repair the dam. More Solphite solution was being made and delivered to the dam to neutralize all of the Solphite in it. Vile, the Spartan harpy, and the normal Spartan were fixing up the dam by breaking the ice and sealing the floodgates until the Solphite was contained. Looks like things are getting serious across the board on all earths and this is going to be one to remember.
