Location: The Colony

The Absolute Solver's handiwork has been turned into a crime scene as the worker drones are putting out an investigation to what's going on.

Worker: Where's Khan? Because this looks, ahaha, ugh, non-ideal.

Sarah: Parent-Teacher Conference. Something about his daughter being more important than building a door in this hallway. Ugh, kind of cringe.

Worker: Ew. (Gets ready to hurl) Oh, give me a minute... (Holds his vomit in) Ah, yep, okay, almost threw up.

Then Y/n and Uzi appear behind them, listening in on their conversation about what's going on here in the colony.

N: (Whispers) You guys good?

Uzi: (Whispers) We're good. Stop asking!

She pushes N away and motions for him and Thad to follow her while sneaking past the investigators.

Sarah: (Turns to two of her colleagues behind her) Any forensic things over there? (No response.) Do we have fingerprints?

Then suddenly, they started fade away as if they are some sort of illusion or hologram. She turns back to her colleague, who also fades out. Same with Frank and Tim. Her surroundings begin to get the same treatment. She looks up in horror as the Absolute Solver makes it's way towards her.

-Back at the Parent-Teacher Conference...

Khan: I mean, you don't think it's my parenting, do you? I left her for dead ONCE! It sounds like she's bored in your class and the other kids suck! 

While listening to Khan's rant, it's revealed that the teacher wasn't paying attention but rather is seen playing an online card game.

Khan: Call her or her friend 'damaged' again, and I will install a DOOR ON YOUR FACE!

Lizzy and Doll are in the back, listening to the rage fest that is Khan.

Lizzy: (To Doll) Where are your folks?

Then Doll started to have flashbacks about what happened to her own parents that are killed off by the Murder Drones, leaving Doll all alone to fend for herself that lead to her have a grudge against the Disassembly Drones for the death of her parents.

Doll: Мёртвые. Я смотрела как они умирали. (Translated from Russian: "Dead. I watched them die".)

Lizzy: ...That was the joke, idiot? Can you also believe that hybrid drone, Y/n, actually saved the whole colony, from those freaks? I think we should put him on the list for upcoming prom night as a candidate for Prom King.

Doll then began thinking about what Lizzy just said. She also knew about the death Y/n's parent's from her mother, Yeva, before he was brought back to life as an eradicator after the planet's core imploded.

Suddenly, the duo heard knocking, causing them to look to the right. They see another Lizzy who briefly turns into glowing yellow dots before changing back to Lizzy.

Lizzy: That girl is... gorgeous, right? I'm gonna let her in!

As she gets up to let her copy in, Doll looks at her friend in disbelief at her sheer and utter stupidity.

Back with the gang, they're all seen heading into a room where the battle took place against V and J. Uzi shiners her flashlight to see oil spilled everywhere.

Uzi: You guys... do that often?

N: (laughs) Haha, no. I'm very concerned, but also... pretty frightened a little bit.

Thad: Hey, 'Zi! What's this thing?

He aims his flashlight over towards the Absolute Solver symbol on one of the large metal containers. All of them appear to have the symbol.

N: Hey, isn't that your special eye?

Uzi: Don't call it that!

She says to N before reading the message.

Uzi: 'Absolute Solver?' 'Reboot?' Does this have something to do with how you grew your head back when you me and Y/N first met?

N: (nervous laugh) I actively avoid unpacking how that works.

Y/N: Well, this thing, what ever it is, it needs to find some type of matter somewhere. It can't just materialize it out of nowhere.

Uzi: You're right, Y/N, new material can't be pulled from thin air. If the wound is severe enough, this 'Solver' might be some sort of auto run program to collect more matte-

She was silence when N places his hand over her mouth to shush her. Annoyed, she looks over to N, but notices his expression of fear. She looks at Thad and sees him shacking in fear. Uzi shifts her optics to see Y/N aiming his energy blade to something on the floor. When Uzi shined her light at the source, the group sees something crawl towards them... a human hand attached to a black cable.

Suddenly it lurks forward and then latches itself onto Thad's leg. They look up to see what the hand it attached to. Although the group can't see much, Y/N, thanks to his night vision, it able to see the origin of the hand and widens his eyes to see something large moving in the distance.

The group looks horrified, but then the hand pulls Thad up. Luckily, a shuriken flies in and slices the cable apart, freeing Thad. This allows Y/N to grab him by the back of the shirt and drag him away to safety. The group looks over to see it was N who threw the shuriken.

Uzi: (whines) I want a freaking ninja star!

Suddenly, Uzi, N, and Y/N get thrown against a wall by the cable and then one of the Solver's claws grabs Thad and leaves.

Thad's screams can be heard getting farther and farther away and the trio gets back up.

Y/N: (Groans) You both ok?

N: (Groans) Yea. You good, Uzi?

Uzi: (Glares) I'm fine, guys. Stop asking! ...Chainsaw hand time?

N: Yeah, cool-cool-cool.

Y/N: Come on, guy, we gotta save Thad.

Y/N, Uzi, and N are seen giving chase down a hallway which leads to a cryogenic chamber. They across Thad's hologram in the corridor where they see it let out a distorted scream before returning to normal.

Hologram Thad: (smiles) "Yes, and hello. It's me, Tad. Um, can I get a location? ...I heard dentist's office! I'm Thad at the dentist office. Come over here for your... teeth!

Uzi activates her railgun and takes aim.

Uzi: (glares) "Predictably terrible work, J. Why do you look so-"

N: (Cuts in) Great! You look great, J!

Y/N and Uzi give N confused looks before aiming their weapons at hologram Thad.

Hologram Thad: No, no, wait, guys, it's really me! Is that a- freaking ninja star?

N throws his shuriken and Uzi kicks it to give it a boost. It flies upwards to bring down the real Thad as the hologram version disappears. Thad gets up and exhales sharply.

Thad: (relieved sigh) Life savers again. Thanks! Super invited to my shindig next weekend. Cool kids and best friends only.

The Absolute Solver tries to grab Thad, but Thad threatens to hit it before he runs off. When he was gone, both Uzi and N squeal in delight over being invited to his get-together.

Absolute Solver: (rolls eyes) We're busy then anyway, so whatever. So, lame.

Uzi: What's with the voice, J?

Absolute Solver: Oh, J's not here. We are trying to repair that host as per our directive.

The Absolute Solder manifests a hologram of J's headless body.

Uzi: So, you ARE some a program?

Absolute Solver: More like you are our cute puppets. It hurts our feelings you don't remember us.

The Solver then projected a hologram of Uzi's mother, Nori.

And even Y/N's father, Aaron Keener.

Uzi: (scared) N...? What's with the mom and dad holograms...?

Absolute Solver: Easier to assimilate than explain.

Uzi: (glares) Not happening.

Absolute Solver: Fair, but poor choice.

Soon the Absolute Solver reveals what it really looks like.

Absolute Solver: Now we will have to do something shocking.

Then to Uzi's shock and horror, she sees the Solver bring down a clone of Khan.

Uzi: (wide eyes) Woah! Hey!

Absolute Solver: Goodbye, Dad.

In an act of brutality and horror, 'Khan' gets ripped in two and the Solver feeds on his corpse. Uzi's facial expression shows her frozen in shock.

Uzi: (horrified) W-What...?

The Solver goes in to kill Uzi, but it gets struck by a ball of Power of destruction launched by Y/N, with N by his side.

Absolute Solver: Pained cry.

N: Uzi shoot! Or give it to me or Y/N!

He fires a missile, but the attack is deflected by the Solver.

Absolute Solver: Claw Strike.

It then begins to move in on the trio.

Absolute Solver: Snarl.

N: Uzi, you good?

Uzi: ...No.

When Uzi hands N the railgun only for it to be revealed that it was a hologram disguised as the Solver's claw.

Absolute Solver: Pranked, idiot. You big stupid.

The Solver destroys the railgun and pins Uzi to the wall.

Absolute Solver: Lucky for you, it's snack time. Time to go into my mouth now.

Suddenly, the Solvers' appendages get sliced off by Y/N, holding his power of destruction empowered energy blade, and the real N. Looking back the trio noticed the broken railgun started turning red. N and Y/N then proceeded to slice off more claws.

Absolute Solver: Ow. Y/N, please don't. Also, I was using those.

Y/N grabs Uzi and they, along with N, escape the Solver just as the railgun blows up. As everything settles, The trio was being shielded by Y/N, who is using his barriers. Looking back, the group watched as the lower half of Khan glitches out and disappears. Then one of the Solvers camera's turns into a miniature blackhole.

Uzi: What was... which parts of that were real?

The group then hears something in the distance, as the Solver, in it's original form, tries to escape.

Absolute Solver: Sneaky-sneaky. Sneaking away. Get snuck upon.

N then stabs it with his tail.

Absolute Solver: Ow. Ow. Ow-ow-ow-ow-ow.

It then collapsing into another black hole.

N then hears voices approaching and extends a hand down to Uzi, who just looks at the ground with a blank expression. N tries to put his hand on Uzi's shoulder, only for her to hug Y/N out of fear.

Uzi: What... are you things?

Hurt by what Uzi said, N leaves the area. Y/N then helps Uzi up as the search party led by Khan shows up.

Khan: (worried) "Uzi?"

Uzi silently staggers towards him as Y/N backs away a little.

Khan: (worried) "What are you doing h-"

Without word, Uzi hugs her father tightly as she whimpers. Khan then silently returns the embrace and gestures for the WDF to search the area. Khan looks up and sees N, who makes his escape. He gives a subtle glare before focusing on his daughter.

with Doll:

Elsewhere, Doll is sitting by herself in the classroom where the parent-teacher conference took place as she's seen looking at a photo. Just then, a robotic cockroach crawls up from her boot to her arm as she looks back towards the door and remembers what happened earlier when Lizzy saw a copy of herself behind the door.

[FLASHBACK]

A flashback opens to show Lizzy going over to the door.

Lizzy: (smiles) "Gorgeous, right?! I'm gonna let her in."

Just as she was about to let her copy in, Doll uses ger powers. A red Absolute Solver symbol appears on her hand, and she clenches her fist, causing the door to be crushed and unusable before Lizzy had the chance to open it.

Lizzy: (shocked) "Ah!"

She jumped in surprise seeing this.

Lizzy: (surprised glares) "Jesus, sorry, industrial strength ghost or whatever. Settle."

As she walks about to her seat, Doll is seen covering her right optic in order to cover the Absolute Solver symbol. The hologram at the door seems to glare angrily at Doll before disappearing.

[FLASHBACK ENDS]

Back in the present, Doll looks back on the photo as the roach crawls onto, only for Doll to cause it to explode, solver symbol flashes in her right optic for a moment.

She licks some of its oil off her face as we see what's in the photograph she's holding. the photograph is revealed to be what appears to be V.

Back at Y/N's shelter:

V: (sighs) "I hate your personality normally, but this is somehow worse. What am I being punished for?"

V's expression softens, and she looks down, revealing her chain is broken. She then hides it before looking back at N, and then turning away again with arms crossed.

We cut to Y/N walking into his bedroom and collapsing on his bed while looking up at the ceiling.

Y/N: Ugh, this was one heck of a day.

???: You alright, Y/N?

Y/N lifts his head to see Takao walking up to him.

Y/N: I'm ok, Takao. I'm just, still processing what Uzi, N and I just fought that was killing all of the worker drone's. And there's something else as well...

Takao: What is it?

Y/N: It's just...

Takao: Y/N, if there's something bothering you, you can tell me. And just know, that I, along with everyone else, will always be by your side, no matter what.

Y/N: Takao...

Takao: (Smiling) We're your family, are we not?

Y/N then smiles and hugged Takao, who hugs him back.

Y/N: I'm so glad to have you and the others with me.

Takao: Only because you're the reason we even exist.

Yuudachi, Yukikaze & Shigure: Y/N!

Y/N and Takao turn to see the three girls running up to Y/N.

Shigure: Y/N, We all thought something bad might've happened to you!

Yukikaze: Of course nothing bad happened to him. He has me, Yukikaze: The goddess of good fortune by his side.

Yuudachi: (Whines) I can't believe I was late to the party again! I wanted to go with you too!

Y/N: Don't worry, Yuudachi, I'm sure you'll get your chance to come with me one day.

Takao chuckled a bit.

Takao: Huh, they must really love you, Y/N.

Y/N: I love them just as much. As well as you Takao. Just like you said, you're all my family.

Takao smiles and embraces Y/N in a hug again, which the latter hugs her back.

Meanwhile with Uzi...

Uzi is seen in her room, laying down on her bed.

Looking up, she sees a web of theories in regard to the Absolute Solver program.
