Chapter 14 - Part Fourteen: Beginning Of The End

{Third Person POV}

The scene opens to a heart, crab like creature found inside the Drones, was sitting inside the now damaged Cathedral of Copper 9, looking for the Crucifix that was used on Nori years ago.

The Heart tossed the crucifix away as it wasn't the same on, before marking off an area on a map. Removing its headphones, the heart used the Solver to pick up a pickaxe, not noticing the elevator crashing down.

~~~~

Inside the elevator crash site, Uzi, N, "Tessa" and MX were recovering from the fall. Rubble blocked their way back to the elevator

N tried breaking through only for him to notice as he was nearly hitting Uzi.

As for MX, he was in pretty bad shape. MX was basically covered in rubble, with his head just visible.

His visor was currently flashing;

{Unit OFFLINE}

{Manual Reboot Requested}

N and Uzi looked over at MX as he showed no signs of rebooting.

N: Uh, should we get him out?

Uzi was about to removed the rubble from MX when "Tessa" held her sword out in front of her.

"Tessa": We'll help V and this one after we're finished. Uzi? How about you sit this one out, eh? Box over there. Robots like boxes, right?

Uzi (Confused): What? No, I-

"Tessa": N.

N: Uzi, there, um, might be some stuff down here that you don't want to see.

Uzi slowly stood up, turning to look at MX as his he somehow was back online as his visor read "Don't believe them" before flashing back to offline.

Uzi: Ohhhh, what the hell is going on?

N: NOTHING! We don't know everything yet, but we're not going to hurt you. Okay?

Uzi looked at N, feeling mixed emotions about what's going on.

Uzi: Hurt me?

Before anyone could say another word, yellow electricity sparked from Uzi's hand before a small black orb with [null] appeared.

Uzi clasped her hand closed as the area flashed purple, causing more rubble to come crashing down.

N reached out to Uzi, only for her to step back as the rubble began blocking the area between them. Uzi looked down at MX's head again as this time his visor was flashing, "I'll find you" before turning off completely.

~~~~

Uzi unintentionally crushed most of the area where herself and the other, minus V, were standing. N was currently pinned down as his arm was trapped under rubble.

N activated a bone saw and placed it over his arm.

N: I deserve this, I deserve this, I deserve this.

As N was about to saw his arm off, he heard V giggle. N looked down the darkened corridor as V was waving to him but she was back in her maid outfit, causing N to scream.

~~~~

Uzi was seen walking normally as her Solver returned to normal. Uzi was about to continue walking when she noticed an oddly placed door along the wall.

Curiosity getting the better of her, Uzi walked up to the door, opening it to reveal what appeared to be a workshop for the humans to work on The Worker Drones.

Uzi looked over the damaged and torn apart drones, before on caught her attention. Slumped down in the corner of the room was an abnormally bigger worker drone that was seemingly intact.

Walking up to the drone, Uzi began to inspect it, noticing tons of dried blood around the decommissioned Drone. Looking up towards the visor, Uzi's eyes widened in shock and horror.

Inside the drone was a decaying human body.

Uzi: That's....actually disgusting.

Uzi left the room, going back on her search, not noticing one of the hands twitch of the "dead" human drone.

~~~~

Walking down the dimly lit corridor was the Computer Spectre Max as the MX unit was no longer operating.

As he walked, he heard the faint sounds of screaming, mainly N's screams, causing Max to sigh. Just as he was about to move, he noticed a pickaxe moving on its own.

Following the pickaxe, Max saw that it was being held up by a Heart using The Solver. Seeing the purple color of the Solver, Max knew only two people with that color, Uzi or Nori and ones currently living with a body.

Max: Uh, Nori?

The heart stopped and turned around, looking at the semi ghostly figure of Max.

Nori: Who are you and how do you know my name!?

Max crouched down next to Nori.

Max: It's, uh, me....hehe, Max.

Nori: Impossible! Max is supposed to be dead. All humans were wiped out.

Max: Well, yes but actually no. I did die but then I came back as a vengeful computer code or something to stop The Absolute Solver.

Nori: And you plan on doing that how?

Max: By getting a new body and finishing what I started.

Nori: Fine by me. Let's go stop Cyn from taking ehr Murder Pet.

Max shrugged as he followed after Nori down a creepy tunnel system.

After following Nori for a bit, she used her pickaxe to cut off a claw of The Absolute Solver, stopping N from being dragged away.

Nori leaped over her pickaxe and onto N.

Nori: Why is Cyn after her own Murder Pet. Are you stupid or something?

N: Oh yeah.

Nori climbed on top of N's head as Max picked up the pickaxe. Roaring of The Absolute Solver was heard as Max looked down the hall.

Max: Ooooh, very scary.

Nori: Fien by me. Run!

N took off running with Nori on his head.

Max: You're the only one running, pal. I can FLYYYYYY!

Max, N and Nori were running down the tunnels trying to avoid the Solver on their tails.

Nori: Hey, you look familiar? Watch the road. You got wings?

N: Um, I guess-

Nori: Focus! Left!

N turned left per Nori's instructions.

Nori: Think you can get this cross to the surface? I'm looking for a hunk named Khan.

N: Uzi's dad?

Max: Oh no!

Nori used her solver to slam N into a wall as The Absolute Solver sped by.

Nori: How do you know my daughter?

Max looked into a room that was open and saw a bunch of random drone parts and decommissioned drones.

Max: Imma go in here. If I can't find a body, I'll make one!

Max floated into the room and looked around. Noticing the decayed body of his human self, Max grunted.

Max: Really have to bury that when I'm done.

Max cracked his fingers as he glared at the spare parts around him.

Max: Show time!

Max activated his Solver pulling parts around and jamming them together, slowly making a new body for him to possess.

Max watched as N and Nori ran by, as he continued his creation.

The tunnel systems shook a fight managed to break out between N, Nori and Solver Uzi.

Max: Almost done, hold out for a few more minutes.

~~~~

At the Cathedral, N and Nori were fighting Solver Uzi.

Nori threw her pickaxe at Solver Uzi, as it winked, causing N to fly towards her and shove her out of the way. Solver Uzi's yellow eyes flashing purple before back to yellow.

The pickaxe sliced N's arms off as he crashed into the ground. Solver Uzi grabbed Nori before being struck by her pickaxe as Solver Uzi hit her like a baseball.

Nori hit the window and was stuck hanging there her pickaxe stabbed her in place.

Solver Uzi grabbed Nori, flinging the Pickaxe down, nearly striking N as Solver Uzi opened her mouth to eat Nori.

N tried to move when a red glint appeared behind Solver Uzi. Nori fell to the ground as Solver Uzi turned around to be met face to face with a glowing red rail gun.

MX: Eat this.

The new and improved MX fired the railgun, which unfortunately hit nothing as Solver Uzi managed to Teleport behind MX and slammed him into the ground.

Solver Uzi swooped in and snagged Nori again as MX was recovering.

MX rolled across the ground before hopping up and activating his Railgun again.

MX: Anyone got a plan?

N looked around nervously before getting an idea.

N: Nori! I should mention Uzi and I.....

Nori and Solver Uzi looked down as N's arms spelled out "Hang out? We just kinda are hanging out a lot, IDK" as his hands flashed a thumbs up.

Solver Uzi: What?

Nori: Uzi Doorman! Those things killed your freakin mother!

Nori slapped Uzi with enough force to basically factory reset her.

Uzi sat up as N and MX began to walk towards her.

Uzi: Hey, Lady! You don't freakin own me!

N: Hehe-AHHHHH!

Uzi turned around and punted Nori back down the hole as MX and N shared the same expression.

MX: UZI! THAT WAS MOM!?!

Uzi: WHAT!?

Uzi hugged N as MX stood back, all three noticing a headless "Tessa" stand up and attach her head again.

It wasn't until the sounds of squelching and munching that caught the trios attention.

Chowing down on Doll's corpse was something. MX's immediate reaction was to equip his minigun.

The thing began to stand, twisting its body in unnatural ways.

???: Hehe. Oh yes.

Cyn: Get snuck upon!
