After following the events of the fight for the key, it managed to end with N snatching the key from Axel and retreat.

The scene changed to up in the skies of Copper 9 in the middle of a toxic death storm, a blimp with the JcJensen logo was hovering as it remained ineffected by the acid.

Axel, R and Z made it safely inside as they were raised by their hooked chains.

The human then groaned in anger and punched a nearby wall.

Axel: WE ALMOST HAD IT!!! UGHHHHH!!!

R: Don't worry broski, we'll get it next time.

Axel looked at the drone with a bit of a pissed off glare.

Z stepped in.

Z: Now now guys we may have failed but there's-

???: Well well well, seems like you guys lost the key and A as well. You know Rüdiger is gonna be happy.

They turned around to see female two drones approach as they mocked the duo.

The one that mocked them was tall as Z and had long spiky silver, above her hair was the a different kind of headband with glowing yellow whites but it was mixed with a pair of headphones. She wore grey and yellow poncho as underneath it was a black crop top with matching black leggings, she also wore a black and yellow tailcoat from behind. She had the typical hazard markings around her legs and the syringe tail, but her most distinctive feature was that her right arm was shaped in a way that was similar to praying mantises.

The other female drone was shorter, she had long white hair with a cyan dye on her lower part. She had the usual Disassembley Drone features of a headband, hazard linings, syringe tail. She wore a greyish purple jacket with fur around the neck, a black shirt and had a knot tied around her right thigh.

R: *groaned* Oh great...K and I...

K snickered.

K: Pathetic, even with the help of a human that's capable of bending lava you still couldn't see air down those deadbeats down there.

Axel: I haven't seen you try and go down there, while we're busy putting our bodies on the line you're sitting your asses all day.

I: Hush human, no need for such fowl language *giggled*

Z: But hey at least we did one good thing and that was sabotage and kill off Tessa with the other human.

K: That won't change the fact you lost something that Lucius wanted.

The boys grit their teeth in anger before the door behind them opening to reveal a new face entering the scene.

The man was around in his mid 20's, had short dark brown hair with brown eyes. His attired consisted of a green shirt as it was underneath a grey and yellow engineer vest that had the JcJensen logo on it, black pants and brown boots. The man was carrying an orange soda.

???: Yo! What's going on here? We throwing a party or what?

R: *groaned* Ugh, thinks just keep getting worse.

The man appeared beside him.

Emiliano: What's up people, Emiliano is in the house!

He began dancing around the Disassembley Drone which began annoying him. Axel facepalmed, Z cringed while K and I found it amusing.

I: The three stooges failed the mission again Emi.

Emiliano: Oh snaps you're gonna get it now! And hey where's Tessa?

Then everyone froze and looked at one another before Axel spoke up.

Axel: Well Rüdiger gave her a special mission so she had to stay behind.

Emiliano: Ah shucks, was hoping to spend some time and hang out with her. But if Luci says so then I'll keep my mouth shut and chug my favorite beverage. *pulls out an orange soda and began sipping* You guys should try this-

R: Look! We got no time for your human drinks we-

Then a speaker became active and a voice was heard.

???: Attention everyone, please report to the control room. Commander Lucius Rüdiger is calling for a staff meeting, thank you.

Emiliano: Oh yeah! A staff meeting, I hope there's chicken wings involved in this.

K: Uh oh. Someone's in trouble.

The scene changed to Tessa as she was strolling around the frozen wastelands of Copper 9. She had a device in hand as she was trying to contact someone.

Tessa: Come on you blasted thing, work!

She shook the device to get some signal. Then her device beeped and showed something.

Tessa: Aha! Perfect, now to try and contact Anton... that is if I can...

She then saw the toxic death storm coming her way, she ran away to find shelter.

She ran away and hid inside a cave, but she lost the signal.

Tessa: Oh come the fuck on! *punches a nearby wall* I sometimes hate this lousey planet...

She then noticed something, she had another signal.

Tessa: Oh...?

The scene changed back to the control room, everyone were present, then another Disassembley Drone came in the room with a bit of an enthusiastic smile.

The drone was as tall as K, he had short spiky hair, wore a different kind of bracelet around his head, as it had demonic horns, he wrote a grey vest with a white shirt and a necktie underneath, black shorts and a black and yellow cape on his back, he still had the typical syringe tail.

K: And there's S!

S: Ladies and gentlemen, I hear by bless you with the greatness that comes by in this room in a moment. He's the self proclaimed messiah of JcJensen, the true leader of the company, the soon to be wielded and possessor of the Absolute Solver. I here by introduce you all, Lucius Rüdiger!

He stepped away as in the room came Lucius in all his glory, he had a sinister smirk on his face with hands behind his back.

He was accompanied by a taller man behind him. The man was fair skinned, dark hair and green eyes, and had a similar military-esque outfit as Lucius, the only key difference is that it was dark with a hint of purple and he a purple necktie and a black shirt underneath the jacket. He had a name ID on his chest titled "Visar Musliu".

He also had a grey and purple colored mechanical eagle sitting on his shoulder with the JcJensen logo on the chest.

Lucius spoke.

Lucius: Vielen Dank, (Thank you very much) for the introduction S, I'll take it from here. You may all sit...

Then everyone sat down minus for Lucius, they all looked at him.

Lucius: Before we discuss...I want to say about some...minor setbacks...

He walked over to where R and Axel were sitting.

Lucius: *watched them* How did it go?

R: Well boss you se-

Lucius: Let me answer that for you...you failed to get the key after N bumped into Axel and stole it from him.

Axel began sweating.

Lucius: And let's not forget the fact you also failed to bring me the drone with an Absolute Solver at hand.

He leaned down to them.

Lucius: You know I do not tolerate failure within my ranks...nor does Jensen, but we do not speak of him because you're in my world now, sitting at my table yet you bring me nothing in return...

He then turned to R who looked at him with a nervous gaze.

Lucius: I can't believe the company spent money and metal just to create something as useless as you, all bark but no bite. I took you into my group and I spent years molding you with my image, yet you shame me with your incompetence and your worthless trash talking that does nothing in return but make you look like a pest to which you exactly are that. Stupid mounds of metal, if I were the leader of the company you'd be shipped to the scrapyard.

R had nothing to say and looked down at the table, Axel smirked at the Disassembly Drone getting slandered, the German noticed this and turned to Axel.

Lucius: And you...I should've left you to rot in that prison from where I found you. Come to think of it, aren't you a Dutchman?

Axel: Yes sir...

Lucius: When I last visited the Netherlands looking for recruits all I could see were just drunkards and drug addicts and nothing else, but then I saw you. You had that edge which attracted me, you were the hope I saw in those men there, but every time you consistently fail me I begin to lose faith in you. You can try to flex that you have mechanical hands that can bend lava but the only thing you melted so far is the bridge of your success and potential, you're a disappointment that has hit rock bottom since the moment I sent you down on this god forsaken planet.

Axel was speechless and looked away.

K: Ooof...

I: He's ripping them apart at this point.

S: Prime entertainment.

Z snickered, this only made Lucius look at him.

Lucius: And then there's the third member that completes the Three Stooges, you should be proud to be in this group full idiots considering the fact you became the most worthless member of the bunch. Congrats for doing nothing, I'm sure your dead sister A would be proud for having a worthless and incompetent brother. If I were you I'd bury myself underground and never come down for embarrassing not only yourself but tarnishing my name and this group.

Z was speechless of Lucius verbal beat down.

Lucius: *cracks neck and knuckles* And this all happens after some rogue Disassembly Drones of ours alligned themselves with some Worker Drones and a human that are kicking your asses?

Axel: His name is Anton sir, he's a huge nuisance. But thankfully I managed to melt him with Tessa.

Lucius was silent while looking at Axel with a look of doubt, before walking away and to sit on his chair.

Lucius: Ok, with my verbal smack down out of the way it's time we end this little ridiculous war. If those little toasters want a fight I'll give them one, after I disassemble them and turn them into scrap, we resume our search on the Absolute Solver and we take it, after that we continue onto our next phase. But we have yet to find a drone with those capabilities with such unreliable help...*glares at Axel, R and Z*

Emiliano was paying attention but then he got a message from Tessa.

Tessa: "Hey Emiliano, you there?, it's me Tessa but don't mention me to anyone"

Emiliano's eyes fired up with a smile and texted back.

Emiliano: "Great Mother Argentina! Hey Tessa what's up? I heard Axel said that Lucius sent you on a mission in Copper 9, is that true?"

Tessa got the message and she was confused. But then she realized that Axel probably lied to Emiliano, so she texted back.

Tessa: "Yeah but I'm gonna need a bit of your help, will you do that for me? But you must never tell this to anyone, ok?"

Emiliano was estatic and texted back.

Emiliano: "Sure Tess, what'cha need? I'm in a meeting right now"

Tessa saw this and smirked

Tessa: Ah meeting eh? *texted back*

Tessa: "Ok, your first mission is to put me on call and turn on the speaker. I wanna hear what the others are saying. You wouldn't leave me out right?"

Emiliano texted her back.

Emiliano: "Hold on"

He then tapped and gave Tessa a call who accepted it, Emiliano put on the speaker while Tessa muted herself as she listened to Lucius' speech.

Lucius: It's time we stand up from this little ridiculous rebellion that has been displayed. The gloves are coming off and we're gonna get ourselves dirty if we wanna achieve the goal. I don't care if you all have to get shot for me, you'll do it for my name. JcJensen will be mine for the taking and then the entire planet shall be ours.

K: With all do respect sir Rüdiger, but how are we gonna accomplish that?

Lucius: We divide and conquer, we'll split up those dumbots and we take them down one by one. And I'll be pulling some strings and call in a super soldier project that I have been working on.

Z: Wait what?!

Axel: That's a bit overkill-

S: If it's the the commander's decision he shall do it, don't question it.

Lucius: As we speak, I'll be ordering him to come to us and I'll lay out the orders for him and he kills the traitors. Problem solved *evil laugh*

Tessa heard all of this and was genuinely shocked.

Tessa: Damn, he's hellbent on this...

R: And what about this key that we failed to get?

Lucius: Well get to that in a bit, right now we have more pressing matters to attend to. We're going to prepare for the worst that's yet to come for these drones, lights out and we'll be welcoming the darkness, they won't see it coming.

He then looked at Visar.

Lucius: Visar. Take I with you and go get me my super soldier.

I: Ooooh, me likey!

Visar nods silently before getting up and walking out of the room with I following.

Lucius: The rest of you are with me, it's time we get my key to open the light of truth for me.

Then suddenly Tessa lost connection and the called abruptly ended.

Emiliano noticed this.

Emiliano: Huh?

Lucius: Ah so you finally decided to speak up Mr Alvarez, would you like to share something with us?

Emiliano: Oh um...after we win will a celebration occur? You know to treat ourselves and stuff hehe...Go team go....

Lucius just simply stared at him silently before smirking.

Lucius: Oh you never fail to crack me up, you party animal. Of course there will be a celebration in my name. It's time I do something that my dead father should've thought of doing before he died at the hands of the Solver...

Tessa put her device away as she heard the conversation, she was in shock, it was still raining outside for her.

Tessa: I need to warn Anton as soon as I can...he's coming for him...

To be continued...

OK guys, this was chapter 21. Hope y'all like it!

Peace out!
