Chapter 6: Old Face

"1AM"

The scene changed to up in the air. It was a full moon as it snowed per usual.

Anton was being carried by J who was holding the latter below with her hands.

Not far behind was Uzi who was ontop of N's back as the Disassembly Drone was flying.

J: Hey... I saw how you defended the Worker Drone from those 2 and lead them to us.

Anton: What are you on about?

J: I'm just saying that the way you felt before stepping in was really out of character for you, because usually when I'm around you you're either level-headed and not doing some out of the ordinary.

Anton knew she was trying to figure out the fact he had something for Uzi.

Anton: Whatever it is, that's not none of your business J.

J: I can kill you if I-

Anton: I only stepped in to stop those losers from harassing Uzi and she clearly didn't want any of it and was glad that I came around. I care for her like how she cares for me.

J: Uh huh. Also can I ask... what do you see in her besides being a so called "angsty teen"? All I see is that she's trying hard to look edgy and cool and-

Anton: I have to stop you right there. Sure she may be rebellious, but she has a heart.

J: She literally hates humans.

Anton: Not me tho, we grew together to see that I'm not like the rest from your mother company. I'm sure not all of them are pure evil as she claims they are. Right J.

J was silent.

Anton: J?

J: *snapped out* Oh! Uhh yeah. Truth be told, no one is truly good nor evil Anton, not everyone is born equal....*mumbled* Unless it's him...

Anton: I mean I can sorta I agree to that point.

As they kept talking, Uzi was eyeing them from afar.

Her visor showed flame, meaning she wasn't too happy.

N: And so I was saying, V is gonna like me that I brought her some oil. What do you think Uzi?

The Worker Drone snapped out and looked down at N.

Uzi: I don't care N, do what you want. If you like her then go for it, that's the best advice I can give you.

N: Wow thanks Uzi, you give me such good advice. I wish Anton would give me some tho.

Uzi: Well, he's more likely to poke fun at you.

N: Yeah, like how he said we're the best of friends. He's cool like J.

Uzi: You're right about the cool part tho.

N: Really?! Thanks!

Uzi: Say, you've been with those humans your entire life, how was it been?

N: Oh... I never got along, most saw me as a nuisance..But there was one that liked me.

Uzi: Oh?

N: His name is Emiliano, or Emi for short. He's an engineer back in our mother company. He and I would totally relax and chill, usually when I'm not out hunting with J and V.

Uzi: He still works for them, so I'm not that fond of him.

N: Oh come on, like once you meet Emi you're gonna like him.

Uzi: And I have feeling that I won't.

Eventually they made it to Anton's house.

Anton opened the door.

Anton: Mom! I'm home-

Then V popped up from above.

V: HI!!!

Anton: Ahh! *fell on the ground*

V chuckled as she then got down.

N helped Anton up.

V: What took you guys so long? I was busy helping Anton's mom with chores because I was bored.

N: Well I found you oil-

V: Oil?!? Gimme gimme!!!

N pulled out his capsule hand only for V to snatch it and drink it all.

N: I bet she enjoyed it~.

Uzi: Starved and crazy.

V: I heard that!

Then Vera popped her head out of the kitchen.

Vera: Ah, Anton you're back!

Anton: Hey mom, did I miss much?

Vera: Not much, V was kind enough to help around.

N: Aww that's sweet of her, V is a-

V: Hey N got anymore oil?

N: No, that was all.

V: Ugh! *turns to J* J?

J: Sorry, but that's all Anton could find for us.

V then turned to Anton with a monotone look.

Anton: Don't tell me you-

Uzi then stood between them.

Uzi: Oh no! Don't you dare lay a hand on him you bitch!

V: I'm not even gonna kill him. I know he's human but you need to chill out you narc.

Uzi: Bite me!

V: Ok.

She was about to bite Uzi but Anton pulled her to his side.

Anton: Look instead of fighting how about I help you find a victim in secret. I'll cover for you.

V: That's what I was going to say when this little twerp just yelled at me.

Uzi: I don't care! Bite me!

J: She's literally asking for it.

V: Worker Twerp.

Uzi: Disassembly Bitch.

V: I hate you!

Uzi: I hate you as much as I hate my dad and his doors!

Anton: N! Back me up here-

He turned to see N was gone. He was in the kitchen.

N: Oh so that's how you make this Worker Drone food?

Vera: Exactly, wanna try and help?

N: Sure!

J facepalmed as she grabbed Uzi from Anton.

J: Ok this is clearly going nowhere.

Uzi: Let me go ya pigtailed freak.

Anton: Uzi chill. It's not like V is trying to kill me or anything.

Uzi: It's not my fault she's a gluttonous wh-

J shuts her mouth with her hand.

Uzi: *muffled talking*

J: Ok, just go you 2 I'll try and calm her down.

V: Yay!

She grabbed Anton by the hand and dragged him out in the cold and were far away from the house.

Anton: Great, back here again...

V: Thanks for accompanying me Anton! Your help will greatly be appreciated.

Anton: No worries V.

V then walked side by side with Anton for a bit.

V: So...how did you find enough oil for N and J?

Anton: Well, we were in town with Uzi and found some scumbags and we got them a meal.

V: Well now we're heading where you will find one for me.

Anton: I'm sure we can find someone outside in the cold, plus you got a good eye.

V: That's just playing boring.

Anton: Trust me V, nighttime in the city everyone are asleep, it's just WDF staff guarding or patrolling.

V: Hmm..... you got a fair point there human.

Anton: Whatever you say, bot.

V spreads her wings and grabs Anton by the shoulders as they fly up.

V: I hope you're not sick while flying because I fly like crazy hahaha!

She flew in a fast speed, the human tried his best not to throw up.

V laughed the whole way.

Anton: Oh boy this is gonna be a crazy night...

"Hours later"

The two were still patrolling around the icy area. Nothing found so far.

V: This is a waste of time, let's just go to the city so that we can get someone by sneaking.

Anton looked down to see something on the ground.

Anton: Can you slow down, I think I saw something.

V: Huh, where?!?

Anton then pointed down the ground to which the drone landed down with him next to her.

Anton: Right this way.

The 2 then ventured further into the icy tundra.

They then saw a corpse of a Worker Drone, its visor spelling the word "ERROR" across the screen as it's torso was spilling out of intrails and there was oil around the corpse.

V: Oil!

She ran to the corpse while Anton slowly followed her. V licked the pool of oil around the corpse, Anton examined it closely.

Anton: Someone got the kill already before us.

V: Aww man, not enough.

Anton: V, I think there's someone else that's hunting Workers. How do I know, it's cuz N and J are back home. Plus if J was the one that did this she could've like communicate with you in your own Disassembly way or something, as for N he's too stupid and doesn't look like something he can dish out.

V: You're right...it seems like they noticed.

Anton: JensenCorp?

V nods as she then saw a tire tracks covered in oil.

V: Tire tracks.

Anton: Huh? Why would a Disassembley Drone need tires when they can just fly.

V didn't say anything.

V: I know who this is...

Anton: Tell me.

V was about to say something but then they heard another scream from afar. The female then spreads her flew off.

Anton: V!

She didn't bother to listen as she kept flying to the direction the screams were.

V: I didn't expect for him to be sent...

Anton on the other hand was on the run to find V.

Anton: V! Slow down!

The scene changed to a Worker Drone who's head was sliced off and corpse was on the ground.

???: Well well, guess you workers were too slow to react to the Speed Demon.

Another drone was cowering in fear as a large shadow engulfed him.

Drone: Please don't kill me, I got a wife and a kid waiting on me!

He was taking to a male Disassembly Drone, but unlike N and the others this one was a bit on the shorter side of the spectrum. He had yellow eyes, short white that was mostly covered by a helmet that had 2 lightning bolts on the sides. His outfit consisted of a white T-shirt underneath a sleeveless biker jacket and white shorts with a belt. Having the usual tail of every Disassembley Drones on his back.

???: Don't worry bud, this'll be quick and painless.

His fingers from the left hand spawned blades as he smirked evily, ready to kill the Worker Drone.

The drone was about to kill the worker but.

???: R!

The drone turned around to see V who then dropped from the air and landed on the ground, making a small impact on the ice.

The drone named R's censors shrank when he saw V.

R: V?! Oh man so good to see you again!

V: Don't act like your surprised.

R: I mean, after you and the others sorta disappeared for a while, James decided to send me to start killing and looking to see if you're alright.

V: I don't need your help!

R: What's with the attitude V, you know I'm still worried for you.

V: Yeah right, ever since you framed me and got me demoted!

R was silent.

R: Yeah...funny story is I just wanted to try that pen as one time thing.

V: And because of that I never wanna see your sorry ass again!

She then proceeded to spawn a blade in place of her right hand.

V: Run away before I cut your fucking head off, you speedy jackass!

R: Look V can we-

???: V!

They turned to see Anton who arrived at the scene.

Anton: There you are I-*saw R* Wait who is that?

R: No way! A human!

Above his feet a pair of small wheels appeared, he dashed pass V and looked around Anton.

R: Woah, who are you? *moved to Anton's right* What's your name? *moved to Anton's left* How are you living with workers? *moved to the front* Aren't you cold bruh?

Anton: I'm Anton who the hell are you? You a Disassembley Drone too?

R: You bet, I'm Serial Designation R. The speed demon of the murder drones, sent here to kill them workers.

V: Anton don't talk to this guy!

Anton: You know this guy?

R: Yeah, we go a long way back bruh. We were partners in crime back in the day-

V appeared beside him and shoved the drone to the ground.

V: Before he framed me for stealing a fucking pen that belonged to the CEO.

Anton: How important is that thing?

R: It was golden, and if it's stolen then that guy or girl is punished. *gets up* And because of me V got demoted.

Anton: Ok now that's a scumbag move pal.

R: Yeah yeah, anyways V where are the rest, you gonna return or what?

V: With you there? Not a chance.

R: I said let's go! *grabs her hand* Cuz I wanna-

V was about to say something but Anton cut him off and removed the hands from connecting.

Anton: Ok who are you to try force someone to come with you. You heard her, if she doesn't wanna come then get it through your short circuited head pal!

R: Hey hey! What gives, also shouldn't you come since you know, you're human and don't belong here with these worker losers.

Anton: I'll be happy to tell you that I like living here, I grew up in these harsh environments. I'm staying.

R: Heh, what about you V?

She was quiet.

R: Come on babe, I ain't got all day.

V's left eye glitched, she grit her teeth.

V: DON'T CALL ME THAT AGAIN!!!

He then swinged her tail and hit R right in the right eye.

R: Ahhhh! *held eye* You bitch!

He then turned his feet into wheels and charged at her.

V dodged the latter and turned her left hand into an uzi and fired at him. R dodged all the bullets in a fast pace, he transformed his left hand into blade and deflected a bullet back at her to which the female ducked.

V: Nice try, but not good enough!

Anton: V, you don't need to do this-

V: Stay out of this Anton!

She turned both her hands into buzzsaws and charged at R.

The latter let's go of his his screen to show it was cracked only a small bit, he turned his other hand into a blade and charged at her as well.

The two clashed with their weapons, both angry at one another.

R tried to trip V but her tail caught his foot and then used it to lank the drone on the other side.

Anton: Guys come on, it's just something that happened in the past there's no need to-

V ignored Anton as she turned her left hand into a laser cannon and fired at R who rolled over and then got up.

He turned his hand into a rocket launcher and fired it at V who grew her wings and flew up. She turned her other hand into a rail gun and fired at R who rolled away and ran from all the bullets.

Anton took shelter behind a broken down car as he watched the fight ensue.

R then rolled around to where the car was and jumped on it and then jumped mid-air as a boost and made it to V's level.

He then kicked V right in the face and sent her crashing down the ground.

Anton: V!

R landed on the ground.

R: That's speed demon 1, loser drone 0.

Then a rock hit the back of his head.

R: Hey!

He turned to see Anton.

Anton: Get lost bud, you're not welcome here!

R: Says who?

Anton: Says me, I'm not afraid of you!

R chuckled.

R: I would've killed you by now but you're lucky that I signed a clause where I can't hurt humans so you're-

V got up and turned her left hand into a rocket launcher and fired it at R.

R noticed and dodged it, the rocket was aiming directly at Anton.

V: No!

Anton ducked and the rocket missed him. But it hit the building behind him.

Cracks began forming and a large part of the building began falling down at the human

V: Anton!

V spawned her wings and flew after him.

The falling chunk managed to crash on both of them. R was shocked

R: Holy shit! I better speed my way outta here

He rolled away and left the 2.

The crack from the building was then pushed away by V as she covered Anton.

V: Ngh...Ah!!

She tossed the whole thing away.

V looked down at Anton who was covering himself.

V: Anton are you alright?

Anton got up.

Anton: I am, man that was crazy. Guess you have bad history with that guy?

V: Yeah, I don't wanna see him again... But if I do then I'll bury him 6 feet down underground.

Anton was about to say something but then he noticed the sun was rising.

Anton: Shit, the sun! V we gotta-

The sun shined at V.

V: Ahhh!

Anton then covered her with his jacket, he grabbed the drone and began escorting her to safety.

Anton: Hang on, we'll find somewhere safe so the sun doesn't get you.

To be continued...

OK guys this was chapter 6.

Peace out!
