Rebellion
"Restrain him!" Krystal ordered.
Emmett stood up, and put a tight grip on Jayden's arm.
Jayden whirled around, throwing Emmett at Krystal.
She dodged the attack, "Guards! Get over here!"
He ran to the nearest tree, and started climbing it. Krystal ran after him, and hovered up to where Jayden was on the tree. Jayden heard the whirring of the magnetic repulsor Krystal had, and swatted at her, knocking her about five feet away from him in the air. He climbed as far as he could until he reached the brittle branches towards the top.
He looked down to see a Lion model climbing up after him. Jayden looked to the nearest tree, which was ten feet away from him. He stepped to the end of the branch, being careful to balance himself. He jumped and hit a limb of the plant, which he grabbed onto. Jayden started to ascend even higher this time, since it was a slightly bigger and sturdier tree than last time. Then went slightly deeper into the tree.
He noticed the lion was still climbing up the maple tree. Jayden concluded that he must be wanting to jump across as he did. Jayden accessed his files on the Lion model: They were an older model, weighing about 350 pounds. He looked through the trees at the branch he landed on, and reasoned that it would have been significantly weakened from his 183.5 pounds landing on it, and that it could not possibly support a 350 pound animatronic crashing into it. He backed away further so as not to seem as if he knew what would happen.
Jayden's head snapped down when he heard someone else climbing the tree. He calculated that the noise was coming from about twenty feet below him. He readied himself for an attack...
Diesel came rushing back to the picnic table. She said hurriedly, "The guards are away, they were called by Krystal to do something."
Arik flew out of seat and to the cabin. They stopped at the door. Arik opened the door and peeked in to see that no one was there. Then the two of them rushed in, and activated all of them, starting with Lila. Still not wanting to be caught awake, she played dead.
"It's alright," Arik said, "We activated you."
Lila opened her eyes and quickly stood up, as did Sukoyaka.
Diesel walked over to reboot Hugo.
"Don't do that!" Sukoyaka exclaimed as Diesel retracted her arm, "That's Hugo."
"What?" Both Arik and Diesel said, perplexed at the same time.
He continued, "Jayden took his place, and never really deactivated me after he spoke to me."
"How did you get in here?" Lila asked.
"The guards were summoned by Krystal for something," Arik explained.
"Wait," Sukoyaka shook his head trying to make sense of the situation, "How did she call them?"
"She yelled for them like she was in danger," Diesel elaborated.
"He must have been discovered," Sukoyaka concluded.
Lila looked around, and found a poker in the fireplace. She picked up Hugo, carrying him to the door.
"What are you doing?" Sukoyaka asked.
"Negotiating," Lila replied as she rushed out the door.
The others followed her out.
Upon exiting the building, she found a Lion model carrying a deactivated Jayden. He seemed surprised that she was back online.
She saw the animatronic was ready to charge her, so she held the sharp end of the poker to the back of Hugo's neck where his solar panel was, and said forcefully, "I'm only going to say this once: Put him down."
He looked at Hugo, and then at the poker Lila was holding. He then gently set Jayden down, and backed away slowly.
"Smart choice," Lila commented. She continued, "And get this message through to your superiors: If any of you so much look in our direction, I will terminate Hugo. Understood?"
The lion nodded, then ran away.
"What was that?" Diesel asked as she bent down to reboot Jayden.
Lila replied a little curtly, "Like I said before: Negotiation."
