As the elevator was going up, the flicking of a coin being tossed many times could be heard. As the elevator continued to go up the coin was was being tossed left and right in a small speed span. Grey eyes looked up to see which level he was headed to. As the elevator came to level 70, the coin was stopped being tossed as it was caught between two fingers on the right hand.

The elevator came to a stop as the figure put the coin away. He fixed his tie and jacket as he looked up while putting on his red and green glass shades on along with fixing his black and white mask he had which covered his mouth and half of his face as he fixed his slightly long dirty blonde hair.

He stood still as the lift opened, a guard who was standing beside the elevator slightly went in front to see who it was and when he did he opened his communicator and spoke through it.

"Negotiator on site. Repeat, negotiator on site." The guard said as he walked away towards the hallway. 

"No, stop... I... I... I can't leave her." A woman could be heard saying form the distance.

The android stepped out of the lift as soon as the guard was gone. As he went over, he looked at the frame which rested on a table. He slowly picked it up and looked over at it as he started to scan and get details.

He put the frame down as he looked around and continued to move forward but then he noticed something moving on the ground. He slowly knelt down to see what it was.

He looked at it for a few seconds before deciding to pick it up as he looked over at the tank as he slowly stood up and put the fish back in the water tank as he watched it swim away from him.

SOFTWARE INSTABILITY ^^^^^

He then walked and turned right as a guard was holding a woman with pinkish blonde hair while the other guard stayed at a small distance. The woman noticed the android as she came over to him.

"Oh, oh please, please, you gotta save my little girl..." The woman pleaded but then her face dropped slightly in realization.

"Wait..." She said as she looked over at the jacket to notice that it was an android as she backed away slightly.

"You're sending an android?" The woman said as the guard came over to her.

"Alright ma'am. We need to go." The guard said pulling her away but the woman wasn't having it.

"You can't... your can't do that! You W-" The woman tried to say as she was pulled away from the android.

"Why aren't you sending a real person? Don't let that thing near her! Keep that thing away from my daughter! KEEP IT AWAY!" The woman slightly yelled as she was pulled away and taken to the lift while the android turned around to look at her before turning back and continuing to walk down the hallway as a new objective came over to him.

FIND CAPTAIN SPARKLEZ 

"Why are we wasting time sending an android to negotiate?! That piece of crap could jump of the rooftop any second." Someone said as the android continued to find Captain Sparklez.

"I DON'T GIVE A SH*T! My men are ready to step in... just give the order! F***!"This time it sounded like Captain Sparklez.

The android went towards the room where he saw Captain Sparklez walking around who was trying to figure out a plan to save the girl.

"I don't believe this..." He continued as the android went over to him and spoke up.

"Captain Sparklez." The android started as the captain looked over at him.

"My name is Ranboo. I'm the android sent by CyberLife." The android named Ranboo said introducing himself as Captain Sparklez looked at him before continuing to talk.

"It's firing at everything that moves, it already shot down two of my men..." The captain said as Ranboo listened as he continued.

"We could easily get it, but they're on the edge of the balcony." He said before continuing to talk.

"If it falls, she falls." Captain Sparklez said looking over at Ranboo.

"Have you tried its deactivation code-?" Ranboo started but was soon interrupted.

"It's the first thing we tried." The captain answered interrupting the android.

"Has it experienced an emotional shock recently?" Ranboo asked trying to find some form of information on the deviant but the captain just let out a sigh as he went over to Ranboo.

"Look, saving that kid is all that matters. So you either deal with this f***ing android now, or I'll take care of it." The Captain said as he looked at Ranboo and walked away from him as Ranboo looked at him walk away.

"What are waiting for? We should take down this a**hole..." Captain Sparklez said as someone else responded as they shook their head.

"I got a clean shot man." A guard said as Ranboo picked up the gun as he looked at it and started to analyze.

He stopped analyzing as he thought about if he should take the gun or not. He then made up his mind and dropped the gun back in place. He then went over to the stove which was still on as he turned it off getting another clue.

FAMILY WAS ABOUT TO HAVE DINNER

"What are you looking at?! Don't stand there!" Captain Sparklez said yelling slightly in annoyance not knowing who said it and it didn't really bother Ranboo if he said it to him.

He then looked at the TV which he unmuted to hear it was talking about the hostage situation he was supposed to stop. He muted the TV as he went over towards the balcony window as he saw something below him.

"That cop is alive. I saw his leg move." One guard said seeing the cop from afar.

"Stay back! Don't come any closer or I'll jump!" The Deviant yelled out threateningly as Ranboo looked at him from his shoulder.

"No! No, please I am begging you!" The hostage screamed as the Deviant's LED light flashed red as he put the gun beside the girl's head as he slightly neared the edge of the building as the girl slightly squirmed.

Ranboo looked around to see the guards from many angles coming in to stop preventing anything bad from happening.

"Go go go!" one of them shouted getting their guns in position as the helicopter went over the deviant and hostage as Ranboo looked at them.

"Hi, Grian." Ranboo said with his name as Grian looked shocked.

"How..." Grian said trailing off as Ranboo continued.

"My name is Ranboo." he said introducing himself as Grian continued to speak.

"How do you know my name?" He asked still being defensive.

"I know a lot of things about you. I've come to get you out of this." Ranboo said slowly walking towards them but the helicopter came in at the wrong time from behind them and had blown out a few things.

"I'm an android, just like you. I know how you're feeling." he said as Grian spoke up.

"What difference does it make that you're an android? You're on their side! You can't understand how I'm feeling!" He said yelling in anger as Ranboo continued to approach slowly.

He then noticed the cop who was lying on the ground clearly injured but not dead.

"They were going to replace you and you became upset. That's what happened right?" Ranboo said as he looked at Grian.

"I thought I was part of the family. I thought I mattered." The Deviant said as Ranboo bent down to look at the cop to see if he was alive or not.

"But I was just their toy, something to throw away when you're done with it..." he continued saying as Ranboo looked back at the Deviant then at the cop on the floor to see he is still awake and moving and he looked back at Grian.

"He's losing blood. If we don't get him to a hospital, he's going to die." Connor said while looking at him as Grian looked annoyed.

"All humans die eventually. What does it matter if this one dies now?" Grian questioned.

"I'm going to apply a tourniquet." Ranboo said making the cop lie on his back but was quickly interrupted with a gunshot.

"Don't touch him!" Grian said as Ranboo looked at him.

"Touch him and I kill you!" He said threatening him. Ranboo was thinking if he should obey or not but either way he had to choose something and so he did. He decided to ignore.

"You can't kill me. I'm not alive." Ranboo said ripping out his tie as he wrapped it around the cop's arm as Grain stood and watched but didn't shoot.

He then got up from his knelt down position as he chose his next approach on what to say and was hoping it would help and not mess anything up.

"I know you and Emily were very close. You think she betrayed you - but she's done nothing wrong." Ranboo said as Grian looked annoyed and frustrated as he yelled out.

"She lied to me..." Grian yelled slightly.

"I thought she loved me... but I was wrong..." Grian said pausing for a bit. "She's just like all the other humans..." He continued.

"Grian, no..." Emily wailed slightly in fear. 

Ranboo had to act quick now and he decided to be as sympathetic as possible to help out with this problem.

"Listen, I know it's not your fault. These emotions you're feeling are just errors in your software." He said trying to calm Grian down.

"No. It's not my fault." Grian said agreeing with the sentence.

"I never wanted this... I loved them, you know..." Grian said slowly putting the gun away before getting slightly mad again.

"But I was nothing to them... just a slave top be ordered around..." He said putting the gun back in it's position as the helicopter slightly neared as Grian got annoyed with it.

"Urgggh... I can't stand that noise anymore! Tell that helicopter to get out of here!" He said as Ranboo looked at the helicopter as he accepted and put a motion with his hands telling them he has it under control and everything.

"The situation is under control." the guard form the helicopter said as the helicopter flew away from the scene.

"There, I did what you wanted." Ranboo said to Grian.

Ranboo knew he had to make the Deviant trust him so he chose the best way to be trusting towards him.

"You have to trust me, Grian. Let the hostage go and I promise you everything will be fine." he said as the deviant slightly lowered the gun and was slowly calming down but still had the gun close to the head.

"I want everyone to leave... And I wanna car! When I'm outside the country. I'll let her go!" Grian said as Ranboo had to make a compromise with him.

"That's impossible, Grian. Let the girl go and I promise you won't be hurt." Ranboo seeing that it hadn't stabilized the Deviant yet.

"I don't wanna die..." Grian said as Ranboo chose his next words.

"You're not going to die. We're just going to talk. Nothing will happen to you. You have my word." Ranboo said seeing he was pretty much successful.

"Okay... I trust you..." Grian said as he let Emily go as the she ran over and fell to the ground far away from the Deviant.

Grian looked at Ranboo as he did the same and as if on cue a gunshot could be heard which landed on Grain from his right and more shots were fired at him as he was slowly getting damaged from all sides.

Grian then fell to his knees as he was damaged completely as he was slowly dying out. He looked at Ranboo one last time, feeling betrayed.

"You lied to me, Ranboo." Grian said as Ranboo looked at him.

SOFTWARE INSTABILITY ^^^^^

"You lied to me..." Grian said as he completely shot down.

Ranboo looked at him as footsteps could be heard behind him as he looked back to see Captain Sparklez walked from behind him and at the girl who was safe.

He then turned back as he walked away while Captain Sparklez turned to looked at him as a few guards came as one helped the poor girl from the ground while the others looked over at the destroyed android.

Ranboo continued walking out of the building heading back to CyberLife knowing he had finished what he was given to do. He had accomplished his mission.
