It was an early Monday morning and Veracity was just waking up to go to school. Her dads leave for work a lot earlier than she leaves for school so she was alone.

She got dressed in a pair of black leggings with her signature red heather jacket overtop of a simple shirt. To top it all off she wore a pair of black ankle length boots with her hair in a ponytail.

It has been a few months since she joined the Mech-X4 crew and she has made some true friends, and well there was Harris too. She didn't really hate him, but their competitive instincts haven't left either. The guys were so welcoming. It was a little rough at first, since she had to learn to trust others and work with others, but she got the hang of it. She has her own mech link, and Mark even shares his station with her so she has somewhere to stand.

Once she was finished getting ready, she ran down the stairs to grab some breakfast. She made herself a quick banana-Nutella wrap, and ran out the door. She walked 15 minutes to school, and while she was walking, she got a text on their group chat:

R: I was thinking we could go over to the mech after school today?
H: sounds good. I'll be there.
S: Yea me too. I got nothing else going on.
M: ok. I'll see you dinguses there.
V: Yea I'll be there.

She put her phone away and finished her walk. When she got there, she saw Spyder and Harris standing at their locker.

"Hey V!" Spyder yelled, waving her over.
"Hey Spyder. Hey Harry." She replied back. She always called Harris Harry just to get on his nerves, cause why not?
"Hi Veracity." Harris sighed at the name.

Just then Ryan and Mark walked over.
"Hi guys!" Ryan said cheerfully.
"Hey Ryan, you look happy today?" Veracity questioned. It wasn't that the pilot being happy was odd, it was just, he only acted like this when he had very good news.
"Well... remember when we managed to get that tracker on Seth awhile back?" He said.
They all nodded.
"Well it finally picked up his location! I was at the mech this morning and saw the alert on the screen!" Ryan said happily.

The crew had been waiting for weeks for Seth's tracker to pick something up, and finally it had.  "That's great news!" Harris exclaimed.
"Yea!" Spyder jumped.
"I was thinking we could check it out tonight?" Ryan asked. Tomorrow was Saturday.
They all nodded.

The bell rang.

"Okay I gotta get to my class now bye guys!" V said as she started walking down the hall. The three guys all had geography together, Mark had gym with his jock friends, and well, V had math by herself. She didn't mind though. She was used to being alone.

The class dragged on for what felt like years. Veracity was smart, and somewhat enjoyed school, but math was just. so. boring.

The bell finally rang and dismissed them. One more long period later and school was over. They had a half day, so everyone got to leave at lunch time.

Veracity met up with the guys outside, and they all hopped into the Mark-mobile. Mark had agreed to let them ride in it today, since they had a hit on Seth and needed time to plan their attack.

They got to the robot a short time later, and hopped out.
"Ready?" Ryan asked them. He gave them a warning before he brought the robots foot down on top of them.
The group nodded once more.
Ryan used his powers and his hazel eyes shone blue. The robots foot was on top of them, then the next thing they knew, they were inside the robot.
"I'll show you guys the coordinates of where we got a hit on Seth." Ryan said, gesturing them over to a computer on the X-deck.

Veracity looked at the coordinates and spoke up quickly.
"Hey I know that place. It's an old shut down factory, my dad used to work there." She explained. "It shut down like 4 years ago though."
"Okay. V since you know where the factory is, why don't you me and Spyder head over there first thing in the morning?" Ryan asked.
"Yea sure. I'm okay with that." V and Spyder said.
"Me and Mark will stay here and repair the robot from the damages that happened in the last fight." Harris added.

They all agreed. Spyder Ryan and Veracity were going to head over to the mysterious factory in the morning, while Mark and Harris stayed back. Little did they know, this seemingly simple mission was about to escalate to a huge and destructive mess...
