No POV

The sound of rainfall and thunder pounds outside as a young Drone by the name of N is shown wearing a suit and holding a platter, like a butler.

A human named James Elliot, then approaches N.

James: We got to curb her trips to the dump, and where is she getting the hair to play dress-up with them? Creepy...

James tosses his glass onto the tray, which N catches without dropping any dishes and walks off. He stops to make a view out of a window as the cacophonous storm continues raging. Continuing his walk, he looks around some more and collides with V, who is wearing a maid's outfit.

The collision causes N to drop the platter and the dishes fall to the floor.

N: OH! I'm so sorry!

V: I-It's okay! I wasn't looking.

Their hands touch and a small spark emit as they blush and stare in curiosity as N begins to speak to V, but is kicked to the side by J, who is also wearing a maid outfit.

J: Move it, moro- (Suddenly turns cutesy and polite when she saw Tessa and a couple of shadowy figures standing right behind Tessa) Hi, Tessa! ...Oh, no. Another one?

??? #1: J! Please do not treat N like that! We can have another one of your moments where you treat every other Drone around here with such disrespect. Got it?

J: Yes, Mr. Keener. Rule stay within this household.

Keener: Good. Me and Rias are gonna go check on our son back at the factory through a video chat to see how he's doing with the surveillance on the Worker Drones.

N: Are you sure you two don't stay around here for the party?

V: Yeah, you two could use a break or two after all of your hard work for the company.

Rias: No, it's ok. He can handle watching over the Worker Drones and deal with the stress of working overtime. We have more important things to discuss to our son.

Then as the two of them left the area, a new drone reveals herself from behind Tessa. She makes eye contact with N as everything suddenly goes dark...

Location: The Murder Drone's Hideout/Spaceship

N wakes up from his rest and falls to the ground before getting up and dusting off the snow off his outfit. As N is fully awake and rested, Uzi called out for N to tell that Y/n and Uzi found something in their broken spaceship/landing pod.

Uzi: N, we found something in here!

Inside the pod, Uzi is inspecting her new finding: a symbol consisting of a skull with a cap and wings. Uzi stares at her reflection in a mirror, which breaks, shocking Y/n. The strange symbol also appeared on his helmet in blue, and it pieces the mirror back together.

V: That's weird and concerning.

Uzi: Bite me! This is probably you weirdo's fault!

Y/n: Exactly!

V: I'm just saying that I've never seen that symbol before. Wanna do an autopsy to find out?

N: (Appears) What'd you find? Did I miss anything?

Uzi: No. But did you know that was a pilot hat?

N: I was the pilot? That's aweso- I crashed and ruined everything... 

N: Spaceship Pilot: Origin Story.

V violently hisses at him, but then calms herself by blowing bubbles out of a bubble blower from her arm.

N: Speaking of piloting to Earth, we sure "murder all humans" is, uh, morality?

Uzi: The humans sent you without a communication relay and reformatted your memories to soup. (V licks her bubble wand.) Covering their tracks means their past negotiating. Not like tried negotiating with my mom..

V: Or she missed the negotiations! The humans programmed us to solve a problem. Where's proof of your backstory? The one where your kind so conveniently innocent? (Chuckles)

Y/n didn't like what V just said and pulls out his sword. N, not wanting another fight to break out, gently pulls Y/n to the side, while V just rolls her eyes.

N: J was getting orders from someone. If not the company through that relay, then, uh, who? And how?

Uzi: (Pouts) Quit complicating our murder plan.

Y/n: Don't you mean, "your" murder plan?

Uzi: I thought we agree it would be "our" murder plan.

Y/n: yea, but you're the one who came up with the plan in the first place.

Uzi: Well, you're the one with your other forms to fight off the other Murder Drones!

Y/n: ...Ok, you make a good point. but we just need to find a place to stay for tonight. Luckily, I have the best spot in mind.

Uzi: Ok, but this will be our murder plan if you take us to whatever you're taking us.

Hesitantly, N pats Uzi, which she rejects, while V narrows her eyes.

Location: The Safe Zone

back at the colony, two drones named Tim and Frank are staring at the large hole that N made in the roof.

Tim: Yeah, just fix her up because, whoops, pretty big security risk in hindsight. Uh, you got this, uh, Ladderbot 5000. (His name is Frank.)

Frank: Ugh... Please, just leave the lights- (The lights go out.)

Frank digs his flashlight out and tries to think of a way to get up there when he hears a clattering sound. He looks around in fear and suspicion when he notices something... fleshy. He goes to investigate, only for a strange spider-like heart device to reveal itself. His flashlight gets shot out of his hand as The Absolute Solver turns the colors of the room yellow and red before finally dispatching him.

Meanwhile Back with Y/n, Uzi and N...

The gang had just made it back to Y/n's home.

Uzi: Is this the place, Y/n?

Y/n: Yes. I always kept it hidden from anyone including the Murder Drones. (Opens up Hatch) This should lead you down there to my hideout, just climb down and be careful not to slip down on the ladder bars.

Then N and Uzi went down the ladder with N carrying a tied-up V over his shoulder and Y/n started climbing down with him closing and locked the hatch above him before reaching down to the bottom to catch up with N and Uzi.

Uzi and N were in complete shock to find themselves in a cool and cozy looking man-cave that they will be using as their base of operations to plan an all-out attack on the company.

Y/n: Pretty cool, huh?

N: Bro! Nice man-cave! You built all of this yourself?

Y/n: Yeah, but not entirely since I had some robots to help me spruce up the place to make it look like home, like making the walls more durable and unbreakable for any kind of attack that the Murder Drones or anyone that works for JCJenson.

Uzi: This is place is so dope, but why didn't you tell me about this place.

Y/n: I figured that you would agree to come over to hang out with me, but you were too busy with your railgun and I didn't want to delay the progress on your railgun. Also-

???1: Y/n, you back!

???2: Welcome back, Y/n.

N and Uzi were shocked by a fourth and fifth voice and see a girl named Hornet and robot named C-Pen running/walking up to greet Y/n.

Hornet:

C-Pen:

Hornet and C-pen then noticed N and both tense up. They were about to attack him, only for Y/N to get in between them.

Y/N: Whoa, whoa whoa! Don't attack him.

Hornet: why not!? He's a murder drone!

Y/N: It's because he's on our side now!

Hornet: Seriously?

Y/N: Yes. I'm serious. And the reason he and the other murder drone are here, is because we need answers.

Hornet: Oh, got it. 

C-Pen: (Looks at Uzi and N) Follow USS Hornet and I and we'll show you to the interrogation room.

Uzi and N nod and followed C-Pen and Hornet.

(With Uzi)

As we followed the girl and robot, I looked around Y/N's home and was amazed by how massive this place really was. There were sleeping quarters, a living room, a training arena, a lounge, and so much that I couldn't explain through words. We eventually arrived at the "Interrogation room".

(Ignore the people)

We placed V in the chair as she stared at us in anger. As we made sure she was properly strapped into the chair, we got to work prepping the equipment, unaware that V was trying to use her tail to unlock herself. Just as she was in the process of lock picking her chains...

???:Hey! What do you think you're doing now?!

We all turned to see a girl with a short stature, medium bust, short platinum blonde hair with a black, red & yellow ribbon with an iron cross motif, and sharp blue eyes along with a giant, hulking robot with a single blue eye.

Z23:

BT-7274:

BT-7274: I believe serial designation V is attempting to unlock her chains lock with her nanite acid tail's syringe.

V: What?! No I'm not!

Location: The Copper 9 High School

It's Parent-Teacher Conference Day (AKA "That explains a lot!") at Uzi's school. Khan sits down across from the teacher.

Khan was called here by the teacher at Uzi's school ever since Uzi had banished herself because of the incident with the Murder Drones.

Teacher: Mr. Doorman, your daughter and her friend named Y/n L/n have both been, uh... absent.

Khan: Yes, on that "kill all humans" kick, like when I was younger. Grounded herself and all that.

Teacher: Speaking on her behavior-

Khan: Of course, of course, precocious, popular, supernatural understanding of doors. Takes after her old man.

Flashback #1:

Teacher: Uzi, please sit normal.

Uzi: Bite me.

Teacher: Uzi, give Braidon back his sentience.

Uzi (as Braidon): Bite me- her. I started it, and also am dumb.

Teacher: Uzi, you have to partner up.

Uzi: Several people wanted to, for the record.

Lizzy: No we didn't, you freak us out.

Y/N: i would.

Uzi: (Inside trash can) But mostly, bite me.

[end of flashback]

Teacher: Yeah, she has trouble fitting in. We think there might be something damaged with her programming. How is she at home?

Khan: Sorry? I mean she's a little herself, but "damaged"? I maybe haven't spent much time... because she spends most of her time with her friend, Y/n, but-

Teacher: Hmm, mhm.

Unnamed Worker: Mr. Doorman, sir. There's been an incident.

(At the corpse spire)

Uzi: Ugh, I'm sweaty. Who programmed that?

Y/N: You alright, Uzi?

Uzi: I'm alright! better than alright! I am GOD!

Uzi pauses to see Thad has shown up with her railgun

Uzi: (Chuckles nervously) Hi, hi, Thad. (He hands her back her railgun.) Thank you.

Thad: Of course, 'Zi! (To N) N&M's. You and Y/n saved my life. I don't think the colony is even serious about all this banishment stuff, more just confused. Especially with the fact-

Uzi: I'm too rogue to re-enter society now? I can never return...

Thad: The recent disappearances, and your murder friend's corpse. When I went to grab your gun, it kind of looked like it... crawled away...?

Uzi looked at Y/n, N and Thad for a good moment before making a decision.

Uzi: We can return a little...

Y/n: Ok. I have just the form for this.

with that, Y/n then turned into titan Drillman.

Meanwhile back at the Safe Zone aka Colony...

Back at the colony, Tim comes across a hologram of Frank (Or Ladderbot 5000), not knowing that he is being lured to his own demise.

Tim: Oh, Ladderbot 5000? We looked everywhere for you.

Frank screams in pain, then returns to normal, which made Tim a bit confused to what's going on.

Frank: Hi, Tim. Care to join me?

Tim: Join you standing eerily still over there in suspiciously low resolution?

Frank: ...Yes?

Tim: ...Alright.

He walks over, not knowing that the Absolute Solver is about to snatch him and drag him up into the ceiling up until it's too late. Tim's hologram joins Frank.

Tim: Flawless character acting, me.

Frank: Improv game for more practice?

Tim: Hahaha! We are a monster!

Location: The Entrance to the Colony

After a short underground tread to the colony, a drill breaks through the ground and Y/n, Uzi N and Thad climb out as a worker opens a door a little bit to see who arrived.

Ron: Welcome back, Thad! (Notices Uzi and Y/n) Uh, wait, isn't she grounded or something?

Uzi: Ugh, banished! Has my dad been saying I'm grounded?!

Ron: I don't think so. Y/n, I didn't expect you to look like that, er- no offense.

Y/N: None taken.

Ron: (Notices N) Genocide Robot?

N quietly walks up and hands Ron a crayon drawing to show how super very, very sorry he is for all the murders he committed.

Ron: ...Oh, alright, just don't do it again. Get in here, ya goobs! (He hangs the drawing on the door.) Also, Y/n, I'm sorry for what happened back there and for your parent's disappearance, along with your surrogate drone parents. Both Vincent and Mr. Keener were great friends of mine to work with.

Y/n: I understand how you feel, Ron. I miss them too. Whatever is inside the colony that is responsible for disappearances, we'll find it.

Ron: Ok.
