Chapter 12: Cabin Fever part 1
A school bus pulls up to Camp 98.7.
Driver: Whoa, easy!
The bus stopped.
Driver: Good girl.
The students inside exit the bus.
Ronathon: Do you ever wonder why-
He gets shoved to the ground by Emily, who was pushed by another student.
Emily: Hey!
She picks her book up and leaves as more students exit.
Thad: No kidding!
He and Lizzy share a laugh as they exit the bus.
Uzi and Anton were the last ones off.
Anton: And as I was saying, yesterday J wouldn't stop pestering me.
Uzi: She can mind her own business, who cares if I bit you.
Braidon: Uh, teacher, what is this field trip?
Teacher: Yeah, Uzi's idea. Ask her.
Braidon: *scoffed* Who?
Anton: Bro, are you fucking dense as a brick or something, she's right here. *points to Uzi*
Uzi: I've sat next to you for years.
As she spoke everyone got startled and turned Uzi and Anton.
Uzi: Bite me! I asked to go alone. He's *points to the teacher* mad at your test scores.
Teacher: No year-end bonus, no learning.
Braidon: So, we're just unsupervised?
Anton: Not quite...oh and here they are. *smirked*
Then a crash was heard nearby them.
Braidon: What the-!?
At that moment, J, V and N come crashing down in front of them. N turns to them menacingly, but then smiled with joy.
N: Welcome, campers! Let's sound off!
He gets ready to do roll-call, but instead begins to count.
N: One, two-
Then a student gets shot at by V and falls over, dead. Making N stop to look what happened.
Anton and J facepalmed at the same time.
Students: *In sync, and not wanting to get shot at as well* THREE/FOUR/FIVE/SIX/SEVEN/EIGHT/NINE/TEN/ELEVEN!
N: That's everyone! *whispers to V and J* Minus one...
He then turned back to the students.
N: We got so many distracting activities planned, so no sneaking off to investigate stuff!
He slyly gestures to Uzi and Anton.
N: To the bunks!
He leads the way... Except no one's following him. He looks over at Uzi and Anton, then back to the students.
Thad: Sounds good, N!
Lizzy: Anything for my bestie!
J: I can't believe we have to do this....
They join N and V, but no one else does.
Uzi: Y-Yeah, they're like my friends, too, so... It's cool.
Everyone flees in a panic at Uzi's mere presence.
Anton sighed and pats Uzi's back.
Anton: It's ok let them have their time, meanwhile I'm right behind you Uz.
Uzi smiled at Anton before they both turned to watch the students gawk at the Disassembly Drone trio.
Emily: *taking N's hand* You can be our friend, little guy!
Darren: *poking V's eye* Poor things defective?
V grabbed his hand, then looks back at Uzi.
V: Hmph. Nah, just full of love. This one's a pilot.
She gestured to N who was busy with Emily.
Rebecca: *giggled* Wow, a pilot.
Lizzy: Wow, nice hair you got. *looks over J's hair*
J: *surprised before being cocky* Thanks, yours is not so bad itself.
Lizzy: I learnt from the best!
N looks back at Uzi and Anton.
Uzi gestured to him that they will be going their own way and that N should get everyone else to the campsite.
Anton gave a thumbs up so that they don't have to worry about them.
N nods, while Anton and Uzi head into the woods, alone.
As they left into the woods, they didn't take into account a pair of yellow eyes watching them walk away from the rest of the students.
The eyes then disappeared into the dark.
J noticed this, ignoring Lizzy's conversation.
Lizzy: As I was saying you should try this new shampoo and-
J: Yeah we can talk later I'm busy at the moment.
She left.
Lizzy: Wow, rude! *miffed*
Scene changed to Anton and Uzi who were now alone in the woods as snow fell down on them.
Anton: Finally some alone time.
Uzi: You bet, I only wanted this to be between us but then the teacher began ducking grades and puts their asses with me.
Anton: I bet they failed the watermelon exams.
Uzi laughed at Anton's joke.
Uzi: Corny, but it makes a bit sense.
Anton: So....I told my folks as well about us being together since your dad already knows.
Uzi turned to Anton with a shocked expression.
Uzi: And what did they say?
Anton: Mom is supportive, dad's mixed.
Uzi: Of course, dads are the worst.
Anton: Especially when it comes to daughters.
Uzi: For real! But hey now that you're here you can put him in line, just raise a fist and he'll run and hide to the nearest janitor closet.
Anton laughed.
Anton: Wait wait did that happen last time when he caught us?
Uzi: Yup, he even asked if you were gone and was relieved when I said yes.
Anton: Love is a many strangled thing if you ask me.
Uzi: Geez it's dark, brought a flashlight?
Anton: You bet! *pulls out one from his bag*
Uzi: *takes it* Now that's much bett-
They then heard screaming and they turned around to see from afar that the campers were rowing their canoes on the frozen lake.
Rebecca: *to N* So, my friend want to know if you'd kill her family. And if you're single.
Darren and Thad carried a canoe with V and Lizzy in it.
Darren: Make way for the canoe train!
V: Sabotage, minions! Plan X!
The boys kick N's canoe and head off while laughing, only to slip and drop the canoe, Lizzy falling out, and V flying in the air.
Emily falls out of N's canoe.
Rebecca: I CAN'T SWIM!
She almost falls out, but N catches her.
Rebecca: Oh! Hehe... Thank you.
N: Close one.
Anton placed a hand on his hip with a smile.
Anton: Sheesh, they're carrying them on their backs.
Uzi: Why don't you go and help them, while I gather some firewood for bonfires.
Anton: You sure you don't need any help.
Uzi: I don't! I'll be back in a hurry!
She ran off before Anton could say anything.
Anton then heard some voices talking nearby, he then turned his attention and followed from where they came from.
Uzi on the other hand ventured to an abandoned building that was similar to a cabin.
She unlocked it and went inside to explore what's inside.
Meanwhile, J was in pursuit of what she saw earlier in the woods.
But then she bumped into someone, it was Anton.
J: Anton?
Anton: J? I thought you were with N and V?
J: And I thought you were with Uzi.
Anton: She told me she was gathering firewood, what are you doing?
J looked a bit skeptic and worried.
J: I saw something in the woods, a pair of yellow eyes. I'm trying to find them.
Anton was surprised.
Anton: Meanwhile I've been hearing some voices from the woods.
Before J could say something they heard the voices again. J nods before grabbing Anton and dragging him.
J: Come on.
Anton was being dragged along by the Disassembly Drone.
As Uzi was exploring back at the abandoned building, she turned to see the glass window suddenly shatters, caused by her right eye reaching high temperatures. She tries to reach inside her backpack which contains a rotten robotic hand as she has a brief flashback to her time at Doll's house.
???: Tick tock...
Uzi turned to see V who made her presence felt and giggled.
Uzi: H-Hey, s-stupid... idiot... Uh, weren't you just-
V: You said this camp would help us catch that red-eyed Doll freak. How about more "explore-y", less "watch from window creepy".
Uzi: (Swipes her hand away) Working on it. Just... (Sarcastically) so glad you guys fit right in. Super cool. (V raises her tail behind Uzi.)
V: Better to stay distant, though. Don'tcha think? *she looks over at Uzi's backpack* By the way wasn't Anton with you?
Uzi: I lied to him I was gathering firewood and sent him back to the camp with N and J.
V: I didn't see him, and plus J went missing.
Uzi was now worried and turned to her.
Uzi: Please...do me a favour and try to find Anton and escort him safely.
She chuckled before preparing to leave.
V: Relax, I'll find him and take him back. By the way, N's made friends with rocks, by the way. He'll move on just fine. But I'll check on him just in case.
She makes her exit as Uzi sighed before she goes over to get her backpack yet again.
Uzi: What are you doing Anton...? *worried*
The scene changed back to Anton and J who were going to where the voices came from.
They stopped to find the source.
They saw R and Axel who were having a discussion. Anton's eyes widened.
Anton: R..?
J: You know him?
Anton: Yeah, me and V briefly met him when we were out getting oil for her.
J: Ugh, they noticed and sent him.
Anton: And who's the other guy he's talking with?
He points to Axel who had his arms crossed.
J: I don't know...I never seen him before, but I take it he's associated with the company since R as with him.
They were quiet as they heard the two speak.
R: As I was saying, I saw the human and the Worker Drone walk off alone in the woods, I noticed the human is a close person to V, I say we nap him and we lure V and the rest to get them back to joining the company.
Axel sighed before shaking his head.
Axel: That is not what we are here for. We need to find a Worker Drone that has the powers of an Absolute Solver.
Anton was intrigued.
Anton: Absolute Solver...what is that?
J: I...I don't know...
She was afraid when the two before her mentioned that.
R groaned.
R: What the hell is that? I thought we were sent to kill colonies, not look for some rando drone that's presumably VIP.
He looked at his partner with arms crossed.
R: And what even is an Absolute Solver? Who requested for that?
Axel: Rüdiger did. I don't know why he wants that to begin with.
J: No....
She felt scared and slowly backed away, Anton noticed.
Anton: J, are you ok?
J: Y-yeah I'm fine, it's just-
Then a bullet was fired at them, they turned to see R and Axel who noticed.
R: Well well well, long time no see J! And nice to see you again Anton!
Anton stepped out.
Anton: Ok what's going on here?
J: Anton!
R: Wanna go at it Anton cuz I'm-
Axel pushed R aside to confront Anton.
Axel: You....you've been living here with drones your entire life?
Anton: Who are you?
Axel: Axel Weghorst...and what are you doing with that traitor...*points to J*
Anton: Hey, don't you call her that!
J then stepped in.
J: Look, there's no need to-
R: Yo man! What's the big idea pushing me aside?!
Axel gave R a glare which made the drone retreat.
Axel: Did you hear us speaking, Anton?
Anton was silent before speaking.
Anton: What's it to ya?
Axel: Look, this is a situation of either life or death. You need to come with us so we can escort you to safety back at the JcJensen Corp. You don't belong in here with these lowlifes and traitors that turned their backs on the company. *looks at J with a hint of venom in his voice*
J: Watch it pal, unless you don't want lead through your skull. I turned on you because I realized the error in my ways, Anton here pointed out a valid point before.
R: Heh, that being?
J: What will happen to us after we erase the Worker Drones? Think about it R.
R remained silent, dropping his cocky demeanor into something out of curiosity and worry. Axel scoffed.
Axel: It does not matter what happens, what is important is that we complete the mission.
He then turned to Anton.
Axel: Anton, you're human like me. We may not be related by blood nor family, but we are the same species and I consider you my brother. We need to stand in this together, we're superior to most species on Earth. Those that are inferior to us shall melt, like the mechanical scum beside you.
J prepared her machine gun but Anton stopped her, he nodded his head in a no.
Axel extends his hand to the latter.
Axel: Come with us, ditch this frozen wasteland. You will be awarded for you waking up your mind and joining the right side.
R: The winning side-
Axel: Shut up!
R rolled his eyes.
Axel: What will it be Anton? Will you join us.....brother?
Anton was silent, looking at Axel's hand in proposal.
Seeing the dutchman give him a warm smile.
He then looked back at J who was ready to attack.
Anton was now stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Back with the campers. N fires multiple arrows at a target's center until it catches fire.
N: Ah, sorry! Did I... keet?
He looks back at the others. No answer, but another camper gets shot at and falls over. V jumps down.
V: Tch. You didn't even kill everyone here. Check this out.
She gets ready to fire an arrow at the campers, who nervously clap.
Meanwhile, Uzi is making her way back to the campsite.
Uzi: *whispering to get N's attention* Psst. Hey.
N looks behind him. He sees Uzi, with her new bug friend.
Insect: HELLO :) DON't TELL V I'M HERE
N: *Yelling, thus indirectly letting V know she's here* Uzi, get on out here!
Insect: :0
N: This troop's a team!
He then realized he may have gotten V's attention.
N: WAIT, NO, INCLUSIVE REFLEXES!
V looks back.
Insect: D:!! *flees*
Uzi: *coming out of hiding* Uh, hehe, hey, everyone.
Everyone screams at her showing up. Braidon accidentally shoots an arrow in her direction. However, she uses her powers to stop it... Only for her temperature to rise again and morph the arrow into a fleshy, bloody mess.
Uzi: *nervously freaked out* Um, ignore all this! Uh... I was just... Going...
Then oil shoots out from the student's corpse like a fountain.
Uzi: I LIVE IN THE WOODS NOW! *retreats back into the woods*
Braidon: ...Who was that?
Thad: That's Uzi, and what wasn't Anton with her?
V: Anton?! *worried before she flew up*
N: V! Wait up! *joins her*
To be continued....
OK guys, this was chapter 12.
