N patiently stood by as Uzi was messing with internal wires of the drop pod, she was putting in the last touches on the wiring as an attempt to finally get it working to in act her plan on destroying humanity. That's right she still hasn't gotten over that plan since she was still vengeance thirsty over those flesh bags hell benting on killing them all off. Despite N and V's neutral standings with the colony, Uzi wants her plan to be in full motion, unfortunately so far nothing seems to work. it was another one of those days where it's just a dream that won't be fulfilled for a while, plus it's a school day, damn school day.

“Welp, I tried…again, but the extermination of all mankind mission is going to be on hold again.” The emo-worker slammed the panel shut.

“Well biscuits, looks like it was another bust.” N sounded like he wasn't paying attention.

Uzi picked up on his behalf and wanted to talk to him. “Everything alright bud?”

“Well it's just…V's been pretty down recently, like something just came up within her and she doesn't seem to be in the greatest mood, plus I think the baby thing is starting to get to her.”

“N pal look, I'm not an expert on parenting, but I do know that, well, you know, you need to help make your lady feel special, make her feel like you're everything to her.” His worker friend explained.

“But I already do that on a regular basis.”

“Then I guess, make things spicy, really show her your appreciation.” Uzi nudged N.

“Is that what Thad does for you?” The murder drone pointed out.

It made Uzi quickly blush. “Woah okay let's not talk about that, but take my word, look how about this, I won't ruin the moment, just you two all day together, look.” The worker then walked up to their communications setting in the pod and put on silent. “A whole day without bull crap, sounds like a plan.”

“Well…you know what, yeah you're right Uzi, thank you for being a cool friend!” N then pulled her into a tight hug.

“Okay ow.” The silver haired drone let go of her. “Now excuse me, I have to get back home and get ready for school, later bro!” Uzi heads up the ladder.

“Later…little sis…wow that felt familiar…eh probably thinking too much, now then, spice things up she said, well, I don't normally make the move so it should be surprising to V, yeah!” N was already getting excited.

Upon her arrival home to get her stuff Uzi's father was preparing himself for work. “Oh there you are sweetheart, where were you, I thought you're gonna skip out on school today.”

“Sorry dad, I was hanging out with N real quick.”

That right there he was worried about hearing, Khan was starting to get more concerned about his daughter hanging out with those two way more often than usual.

“Uzi, look we need to talk.”

“Uh sure, what's up dad?” Khans daughter stood by

“Don't you think you've been hanging out with N…a little bit too much lately, are not concerned that we may not be sure what their full intentions are?” The father explained.

“Dad, what are you talking about?” Uzi was confused.

“I'm just saying, hanging out with drones that are designed to kill us, like does that not sound unsafe in any means because it's starting to become concerning Uzi?”

The goth-drone finally picked up what her father was explaining to her and looked a bit annoyed. “You don't trust N do you?” Khan looked from the side, making it more obvious. “Dad seriously!? Almost everyone in this colony likes N and V!”

“See, that's it right there! Everyone is putting in their trust with those murder drones, like how are you certain that N's just using your trust so he can secretly murder everyone in this bunker like they were sent in the first place?!” Khan raised his voice.

Uzi stood there a bit shocked before expressing anger. “Unlike you dad, I'm tired of hiding, everyone else is tired of hiding too, I understand we can't trust all Disassemblers but N's a sweetheart, he's different and if he can change V's perception of us then so could you! But no, you'd rather be a coward.” The daughter said enough, grabbed her bag and headed out the door. “Have a good day.”

“Uzi!” Khan didn't get a chance as the door shut, leaving to himself as he sat down on a chair as he sighed. He pulled a photo of himself and Uzi when she was a baby, he then unfold the other half to reveal his wife. “Oh Nori, what am I going to do? She's all I have left.”

Just a few more minutes till class starts, Thad was looking back at Uzi's desk. She still hasn't arrived yet, I mean sure she normally runs late but he wants to still see her at least. Events she does as she just dropped her bag next to the desk and flopped into the seat. The jock quickly picked up on his girlfriend's mood, he wanted to make sure his Spark cakes were doing okay.

“Hey Zi, are you doing alright?”

“I'm…I'm doing fine okay just, upset with dad right now that's all.” Uzi faced her desk.

“Oh understandable, just another hormonal episode again?” Thad asked.

“What no it's not that, just…you trust N right?” Thad responded with a nod. “Exactly, others do too, it's like he doesn't want to change for the fact not all Disassembly drones are bad.” Uzi ranted.

“Well I understand his case, you can't trust all murder machines but N is proof that they can change, we're just not sure of it.” Thad went on.

“Yeah, thanks Thaddy, just right now I need to take my mind off it.”

The moment Uzi said that their teacher walked in. “Okay class settle down, I don't want to be here as much as you guys so let's get this over with.”

Yeah just, don't let it get to your head Uzi thought.

A group of workers chat along and play cards, a normal day for the worker defense force at the main door. Khan walked in with a still upset look from the earlier conversation with Uzi, he set down his tool bag and weapon as Ron kept watch outside.

“Hey hey, morning big man of the bunker, how are you doing today!” Ron greeted.

“Oh nothing, daughter issues.”

“Oh no, is something wrong with Uzi again?” The worker asked Khan.

“I just don't understand that girl you know, she's becoming a lot more like her mother the older she gets.” Khan went on.

“Hmm well I can't really comment or relate, I'm still single.” Ron laughed it out. Khan didn't laugh however, making the guard just go back on watch. “I do miss Nori though.”

“...Yeah…me too Ron.”

Back in the drop pod V was sitting in bed, wearing a plain white shirt while holding a pair of round lens glasses, she was putting them up to her face and taking them off. The silver haired female was doing it repeatedly while looking at herself in a reflection, technically she's required to wear them due to her vision but just seeing herself in them is bringing back some…negative memories.

“You should wear glasses more often, you look really pretty in those.” N lifted up the blanket and crawled into bed while V quickly put them away and pouted. “Besides, aren't you technically nearsighted?”

“Pfft so what, even if I am, I don't look pretty in them…never did in the first place.” V bluntly said.

N had a worried look on her face and scooted closer to his lover. “V what's wrong, you seem more, upset lately?”

“It's just…why me N?”

“...Hmm?”

“Why me, I've…treated you like garbage for the longest time, and despite all of that and me stupidly getting myself pregnant, you still fall for me, I just don't get it.” V's screen turned to sadness and looked away.

She then felt her hand being picked up by N as he brought it close to his chest. “I don't care how you behave in the past V, deep inside I still have this strange attraction towards you, like we were destined to be with each other, my memory of the past is still foggy but I feel none of that matters because I have you and that's most important of them all, and I'm not going anywhere, I'm excited to be a dad and especially by your side!” The murder drone smiled. V only responded with a small smile, it's like he never left, her N is still there. “And I want to prove it by, well you know…loving you, come here!” N then proceeded to pull her in and playfully hold her.

V laughed and tried to fight back. “N hahaha you idiot, stop it hahaha.” The two Disassemblers played around until the male drone was on top of the female, they looked at each other before planting their lips. Kissing on another before separating. V then giggled. “Since when did you become more in charge~.”

“Maybe I should do it more often then, honey~.” N scooted closer to her face.

“Promise to be gentle, I don't want you to hurt the baby.”

“Oh I promise hun, but for now, it's my turn to make you feel good~.” N his shirt and threw it off before grabbing the blanket and throwing it over them.

The blanket shuffled as both of them. “Oh, oh my N, you naughty boy~.” V giggled.

The giggling and kissing muffled inside of the pod. This was her day, N planned a day to make it about V and only V, making his woman feel special with no distractions.

However that reality will become true, while they're too focused on each other they didn't hear or notice something coming into orbit. It was a drop pod, it flew over the corpse spire into a deeper part of the abandoned city, hurling towards the planet as it crashed through a building as it deployed its spider legs. It finally came crashing into the ground leaving debris flying everywhere and leaving a crater in the process. Snow slowly fell as the spider legs positioned the pod in a non awkward angle, it was silent for a few seconds before steam violently sprayed out of the creeks of the metal door. After that the door shot out flying into the distance, a yellow X started glowing through the dust and snow before leaping out of the door onto the ground. The grand reveal was another disassembly drone, his silver hair was long enough to reach the base of his neck, he sported a long sleeve black hoodie with disassembly drone logo on the back of it. It read ‘JC Jenson's Recovery Team’ on it, the jacket was unzipped and worn loosely on the drone revealing a lot of chest.

The drone had a wicked smile on his face before going into stretching his back and letting out a loud yawn, his screen turned to normal as he rubbed his back. “Man, that must've been been some nap.” He pulled up a calendar on his screen. “Only a week? Damn no wonder I feel so…recharged.” The Disassembly drone then pulled out a pair of orange tinted glasses out of his pocket and put them on with a smile. “Alright L, you're ready for the search…L?” He didn't hear his partner respond, the drone walked over to the pod only to see the other door didn't fire off. “Oh know wonder why okay, her let me just.” He climbed up and kicked the door before steam sprayed out, jumping off and avoided the door launching out.

An arm raised out and grabbed the edge, followed by another but on the other hand was what appeared to be a katana with writing on the scabbard. The other Disassembler raised from his slumber, his hair looked semi-professional as it was long and messy, the front of his hair comb and slicked up, also sporting a much heavier looking jacket with the recovery team logos on each arm. L stood up tall and proud, his legs also had golden light patterns as well. A stoic yet tired look on his face, he dropped down and looked to the side seeing his partner staring back smiling.

“Rise and shine wise samurai, did you get some sleep?”

“Eh, it was alright.” L pulled up a screen and accessed a data log screen. “This is Serial Designation L, myself, along with my partner Serial Designation K have landed on Copper-9 for a recovery mission, be advised that the two targets labeled as Serial Designation N and V was requested to be brought back alive by our contractor, other than that, recovery mission is a go, signing off.” He ended his log.

“Ugh geez, alive? Since when do I have to start doing that now?” K whined.

“Quit your whining, it's just this once.” L said with a calm tone. “Also it wasn't in the main description but I got a request from Serial Designation J, it said, if you see a purple hot topic looking drone, kill on sight.”

“J, J, J…oh isn't that the one that got killed by a worker, damn that's embarrassing.” The long hair drone chuckled. Both drones made their way to their location, observing the new world they've landed. “Copper-9, looks cold and depressing, well for organic life, so how far do we need to go?”

“West, eight kilometers.”

“Sweet, let's get this over with.” The two Disassembly drone's pulled up their wings and flew off to their location.

Ron sat back while whistling, trying to keep himself entertained but quickly getting bored. “Hmm, hey Dan can you take my spot real quick, I wanna go talk to Khan.”

“Yeah sure thing.” The worker traded spots with him and stood by the door.

Snow continues the blow making it hard to see anything in the distance, that was until the Disassembler's headlights and eyes on screen could be seen through the snow. Slowly approaching the bunker until stopping at the front, admiring the large iron door.

“A worker drone bunker? Huh so this is what they are taking refuge in, a bunch of helpless workers waiting to be picked off.” K deviously grins from his malicious software.

“Don't, remember this is a recovery mission, we're recovering the targets, we're not killing workers.” L addressed.

K was in disbelief. “Really, this is the planet where they sent Disassemblers to eradicate their miserable lives. If anything we would be helping the cause.”

“No, we are not going to engage, our mission is to recover the two awols.”

“Alright Mr following the rules, what's your genius plan on getting in then?” The Disassembler said with a sarcastic tone.

“Just stay behind me.” L said while throwing his hood on, covering his head lights.

The worker was reading a book until he heard loud banging behind the door. He opened the door window only to see a drone standing in front of him. “Uh…can I help you?”

“Hello sir, I'm from a bunker security association and your colony was selected for inspection.” The drone tried his hardest to hide his partner and his tail behind him.

“Inspection…uh hey Khan were we expecting an inspection today?” The drone looked over Khan.

“No, not that I'm aware of.”

“Uh, what's your name exactly sir, and why should I let you in?” The worker felt suspicious while he grabbed the rifle next to him behind the door.

“Sir trust me, I want to be sure that none Disassembly drones would break into this bunker.”

“Oh yeah, and where are you from exactly?” The worker was getting more antsy.

And so as the other drone hiding. “I'm done waiting.” K shoved L from the side. Suddenly a hidden compartment quickly opened up as it pulled out a tactical revolver, the drone grabbed the gun and spinned it across his finger before aiming it at the work. “Location? Texas!”

He fired point blank at the worker's head as the others jumped in shock, the body fell revealing the two Disassembly drone's to everyone.

“Murder Drones! Quickly shut the doors!” Khan screamed.

One worker ran to the door controls but his hand was shot as he reached for the controls before being shot dead, K then shot the control panel causing a malfunction making the main door open to the outside. Khan panicked as he jumped over the railing towards the emergency panel, the gun welding Disassembler ran towards the worker while firing off rounds. He luckily avoided them as he slammed the lock down button, an alarm blared loud as the door slammed shut in front of K. Suddenly alarms went off across the bunker, the classroom of students jumped from the sudden loud noises and flashing red-lights.

“The Hell is going on?” Thad stood up from his seat.

“I-I don't know?” Uzi was confused before a voice spoke up.

“Attention all residents of the colony, this a code red, disassembly drone breach, I repeat, code red, disassembly drone breach, we advise that all colonists calmly proceed to the safe room.”

All of Uzi's classmates were panicking and talking about the breach.

“Alright class you know the drill, let's head to that safe room, I have no time to babysit all of you so let's go.” Their teacher said nonchalantly as he walked out of the door.

Everyone started exiting the class except for Uzi who walked off from everyone else, Thad picked up on her and followed her into another classroom.

“Uzi where are you going?!”

“I'm calling dad, I need to know what's going on!” The goth-drone pulled out her phone and called her father.

“Well, son of a bitch.” K was annoyed.

“Nice going, you just alerted the whole colony.” L sarcastically congratulated his partner.

“Oh shut your mouth, you're literally the worst elaborater ever.” K poked him with his gun.

“It's not like you're better.”

“Whatever, well what's the plan now.” The drone looks around while he unloads his gun and puts it back into his holster.

L observed as well until he spotted a vent and pointed at it. “There, you're small enough, fit in there and make your way to the other side.”

“Oh so you're telling me I'm small now?” K responded.

“...”

“...Fine, I'm venting.” K jumped up to the vent and punched it open as he crawled through.

“Get your guns ready! Damn since when was the last time we had a breach?” Ron said as he cocks a handgun.

“I don't know, these two are new, don't know if they're associated with N or not.” Khan then his phone buzzing, he pulled it out and saw it was Uzi. He answered. “Uzi!”

“Dad, what's going on? Are you okay?”

“I'm doing fine sweet peas, there are two Disassembly drone's who breached the main entrance, does N know about any of this!” The father yelled.

“What no! He's spending time with V!” Uzi responded.

“Look Uzi, get to the safe room, it's too dangerous to be out here!” The father ordered her daughter.

One worker was shaking until he noticed noises coming from above the vent. “Ah?!” He jumped and pointed his gun up.

Everyone else looked at the scared drone. “Dad!”

“I have to go, be safe!”

No Da-.” Khan ended the call leaving Uzi confused yet frustrated.

“Bill what's wrong!”

“He's in the vent.”

“What?” Ron asked.

“H-He's in the Robo-God damn vent!” The worker started firing at the ceiling before the grate broke away squishing the poor worker.

K turned around with a smile and pulled out his revolver, the worker's close to him started firing but instantly was picked off one by one. Both Khan and Ron fired at the Disassembler but he took cover and fired back, hitting Ron in the shoulder as he screamed.

“Ron!” Khan caught his friend. “Fall back, fall back!” Khan opened up a door while other workers ran behind them. as they made it through the other side Khan shut the door avoiding a hurdle of bullets. “Everyone to the safe room and quick, it's the safest place for now.”

“Argh! Dammit dad!” Uzi yelled.

“Crap this is bad, come on Uzi we have to go.” Thad tried to get his girlfriend to come with her.

“No, don't you see, the colony's endangered and as far as I'm aware that safe room won't protect everyone, I know this because of N and V!”

“What's with the screaming?” Uzi and Thad turned to see it was Lizzy.

“The Hell are you doing here, shouldn't you be with the others in the safe room?” The emo-worker said to the cheerleader-bot.

“You guys always get some action, I want to be part of it.” Lizzy crossed her arms.

“Ugh!” Uzi then went on her phone.

“What are you doing Uz?” Thad asked.

“Calling N, we need them to help us.” The worker stood and waited for a bit but no answer. “What the heck, N normally doesn't…oh crap.” Uzi's eyes went hollow.

Both Lizzy and Thad looked at each other and went back to Uzi. “What?”

“...I forgot I can't contact N for the rest of the day.”

“What?!” They both screamed at Uzi.

“So we're defenseless, you mean we can do nothing to stop them!” Lizzy panicked.

“Woah woah easy there princess, look I'm not hiding anymore, if I can deal with that bitch of a leader J, I can hold off disassembly drones again.” Uzi moved a chair with her solver powers and sat down.

Thad stepped forward. “Well in that case, count me in too.”

“Wait, are you sure Thad?” His girlfriend was surprised.

“Come on, you know I'm not scared of murder drones, I want to defend our colony like the defense force!” The jock explained.

Uzi smiled that her man is willing to stand by her side. “Eh fine, I'll stay since I want to see the chaos you two unfold, but just because it's possible to kill them, the two of you maybe won't be enough.” Lizzy poked in.

“As much as I hate it, you're right, I'm not sure I'm strong enough to handle them, if anything, I will be able to finish the other kickass railgun.”

“you've been working on another one?” Thad raised an eyebrow at Uzi.

The girl placed her bag on the table and pulled it out. “What I have nothing better to do in my life right now, but I still need time to finish it, if only we have more people to stall them.”

“...Well…there is someone I know who can help.” Lizzy spoke up.

“Really, like who?” Uzi asked.

“You're not gonna like it.”

“Oh come on Liz, how bad could they be?” The goth asked the cheerleader.

A picture of N and V was taped on the walls of an abandoned building, all of the sudden a knife and cleaver was thrown at the pictures striking them. Sitting on top of a table was Doll, throwing a knife in the air and catching it, she was now sporting a large button over eye that shifted into a solver symbol.

She looked at the photos with such malicious intent and hate. “Тупой металлический мусор.” Doll then throw another knife at V's picture. Her thoughts vanished when her phone started blasting California Girls, she looked over to see it was a phone call from Lizzy. The drone picked it up and answered. “Привет.”

“Hay girl, it's Lizzy!”

“Что ты хочешь? Я занят.” Doll wanted to make it short.

“Look girl, it's uh, been a bit since we talked but we need you help, the bunker is being invaded by disassembly drones, and no it's not V and her idiot, different drones and please we're in danger, your the only person I know who can help, please I beg of you.” Lizzy begged for her old friend's help.

Doll stood there contemplating doing it, knowing her status of the colony now. But she sounded desperate, she doesn't want her friend to die. “...Xорошо, я буду там, не умирай.”

“Yes thank you, we'll try not to!”

Doll then hung up before standing up and vanished to her location.

“Cool, we got her on board.” Lizzy put her phone away.

“Are you sure this is a good idea? Didn't she murdered a bunch of our classmates?” Thad was concerned.

“Well it's the only other option we have, this will just be a temporary alliance for now.” Uzi explained.

“Okay…also do you think it's weird that she's the only one that is Russian, like I know we can understand her and all but she's the only one that's programmed to speak it?” Thad pointed out.

Back at the main entrance K was pressing buttons to the controls to the main door, and pulled out wires and tore them open with his teeth before deactivating and opening the door.

L was patiently waiting on the other side. “Took you long enough.”

“Sorry.” K turned and pointed to the corpses. “I was a little busy.”

“I see.” L walked and observed the area. “No sights of the awols?”

“No, they mentioned a safe room, they all must be hiding in fear, possibly that's where the targets are hiding too.”

“Well in that case, it will split up, you keep searching areas through vents, all go down the halls scouting for the targets.” One of the disassembly drones explained.

“So the whole separate strategy, that's cool, more to kill all for myself, good luck don't get killed, cause that would be embarrassing!” K then jumped to a vent and burst inside crawling to his destination.

L looked up for a moment and silently walked his path. “Don't be reckless.”

Uzi repeatedly kept calling N on her phone but so far no answer, her best strategy right now is to keep doing until hopefully he'll respond while working on a new railgun. Lights flickered in the room making everyone look around in preparation, suddenly Doll appeared out of thin air with the solver and looked at everyone in the room.

“Привет.” She said with a stoic look before Lizzy jumped and gave her a tight hug.

“Ah! OMG it's been so long since I've seen you!” Doll patted the cheerleaders back as they separated. “Also me saying that V's hotter than you, hehe that was a lie I promise.” The blonde laughed it off.

Doll then turned her attention over “...Thad.”

“Sup Doll, it's been a bit.” Thad tried to remain cool.

She then turned to Uzi, both stared at each other for a bit before speaking up again. Так тебе нужна моя помощь, да?”

“Look, I know we have our problems but we need to put that all aside right now and work together, a temporary alliance to defeat these intruders, then will go back to our lives, you in or not?” Uzi explained.

“...Тогда какой план... друг?” Doll moved forward along with everyone else.

“So plan is simple, I'm going to stay here and continue getting my kickass railgun, it's almost complete, Thad will stay put to make sure any stragglers come by or the disassembly drones, Doll and Lizzy will scout out for any survivors, and Doll if you see the Disassemblers, don't be scared to say hello.” The emo-worker smiled.

“Понятно, не давайте им пощады.” Doll turned around and went to the halls.

“Wait, that entirely convinced you, so far the plan sounds pretty half-assed!” Lizzy got up and chased her friend, not quite sure if it's a good plan.

“I'm surprised she chose to side with us after, you know.” Thad looked back to Uzi.

“Yeah but it's all we got, I just hope we get N on this soon, something's telling me that all of us won't be enough to stop them.”

Metal clanking echoed through the hall as L walked down the narrow corridor, silently thinking to himself while his hood hid his face. His train of thoughts were interrupted however when he heard one, no, three worker drones running up to him.

“Freeze! Don't move any closer murder drone!” One of the defense workers yelled while all pointed their rifles at him.

The Disassembly drone removed his hood, giving them all a look of no care in the world.

His eyes displayed on screen looked at all of them before he spoke up. “I advise you all to put your weapons down and move to the side, you're not what I'm coming after.” L warned them.

Some were shaking with fear but still they weren't backing down. “Shut it, we are not falling for your tricks!”

“I'm not here to harm, if you do engage you force my hand.” L begins to step forward.

“Don't come any closer, we will shoot!”

“Just step aside, I chose not to hu-.” The Disassembler didn't get to finish when they fired a warning shot, the zip passed his head.

They were surprised to see he didn't budge. “Last warning, we will kill you.”

L just let out a deep breath before lifting his sword in front of him. “I warned you all, but unfortunately you left me with no choice.” He placed his thumb between the guard and pushed it up, peaking the blade between the scabbard.

All the drones jumped in fear, before they knew it he quickly moved his free hand at the end and pulled it out. Revealing it to be a Shirasaya blade, he twirled and spinned around his hand and body, showing off possible years of training to his victims before pointing the blade at them. One of them started firing at L only for him to deflect a few bullets with his sword, he quickly jumped towards the wall and forced himself off the wall and towards the drone and cut his head clean off. Another worker pointed his gun at him but the murder drone smacked the rifle out of his hand with the scabbard, the worker's life ended when L cut his torso clean in half. The last tried to get clean shots but the disassembly drone jumped in the air and jumped slash, killing the poor worker as his body fell to the ground as oil sprayed out of his chest.

L then stood up straight and swung the oil that stained his blade off, he sheaths his katana back with pride in his face. Pride was an understatement however whem he looked back at all the corpses and walked up to them, kneeling in front of one as he grabbed the drone's gun and placed it on his chest.

“If only you listened to me…I'm sorry.” The disassembly drone then pays his respects for the fallen.

Khan and the rest of workers made it to the safe room as they made it inside, other workers watched as they entered and put Ron down onto a seat.

While medics got to work on him Khan turned around and was confronted by the teacher. “Well if it isn't Khan Doorman, you seem more active than usual.” He sips from his flask, sounding like he gives less about the world.

“Look, we nearly got killed, right now I just need to know if all the students are okay?” Khan asked.

“Yeah sure almost everyone made it.”

The worker didn't understand what the teacher meant as he looked at the survivors, Uzi wasn't there. “Where's Uzi?!”

“I don't know I'm not her father.” The teacher responded.

“Argh! This is why students think you're a wet towel!” Khan walked off and pulled out his radio and tried to get in contact with other survivors. “This is Khan Doorman, if anyone is copying, en route to the bunker's safe room, any drones that are indoors at their homes remain inside!” The father finished as he tried to remain calm.

Suddenly his radio went off. “K-Khan”

Everyone heard the distressed worker as Khan answered. “Bill, Bill is that you! Listen, you need to get here now before-.” The worker just kept sobbing over the radio. “Bill?”

“Read the paper.” Another voice was heard.

“W-What? *Bang!* Ah!” A gunshot was fired followed by a scream.

“Read the damn paper!”

Everyone jumped from his sudden aggression before the worker spoke again. “H-Hello, my name is Serial Designation K, I'm from a JC Jenson rec-covery team, me and my partner are here to recover two Disassembly drone's that went awol, i-if you comply and t-turn in the wanted fugitives, we will all l-let you live, but if you d-don't I…I-.” He stopped reading and started sobbing again.

“C'mon you're almost done, just one more sentence.”

“I…I'll be forced to murder everyone in this d-damn colony, and use you guys like used-up s-sex dolls!” The worker began crying.

All the worker's looked all scared for their lives while Khan sat there terrified.

K was clapping on the radio. “There you go, see that wasn't so hard right? Also there's some more on the back.”

“Oh uh…P-PS, just kidding, I'm going to murder everyone here regardless, s-starting with…this one-OH ROBO-GOD PLEASE NO! *BANG!*” They heard the body flopping over.

“Pfffft hahahahahaha, holy shit you should've looked at his face, he was like, ah! Hahahaha, oh goodness haha, yeah you're all going to die.” The radio went to static.

Everyone stood silent until Emily started sniffling before balling her screen off. Sam then started panicking. “Oh Robo-Jesus we are so fucked! I'm too young to die!”

The colonists began panicking, Khan sat there with so much on his mind. Will there be anyone to save them and what would they want with N and V, why is he feeling a sense of regret now.”

K kept chuckling about his announcement he sat on top of the corpse, he then pulled up a list and began to call L on his status. The partner sliced another drone in half, he tried to make it quick and painless for them, suffering makes him have a sick stomach feeling. He then was getting a call from K, sheathing his blade back the drone answered his call.

“This is L.”

“Hay, it's Kay!” The Disassembly drone tried to be sassy, he ripped off the head of the worker and began drinking the oil from it. “So how is my favorite big brother figure doing on this lovely day?”

“Eh, I killed a couple more guards, some made the wise choice and ran away.” L responded.

K stopped drinking with a confused look. “What and you didn't chase after them?”

“They aren't my targets, I only attack out of self defense…I don't see the reason why they want them dead, they're not hurting anyone other than the company's interests.” The drone looked at the dead worker.

“Woah woah hey L enough with that empathy towards workers, if the company is aware of those feelings you've would've been scrap by now, look I like you dude, but this is what we're made for, you can't run away from what you are, besides I like this job, and once I find that safe room, we're gonna be eating for weeks after we find the targets, hahahaha.” K ended his call leaving L to himself again. He hates that he's right, follow orders and you want to get killed by your creators, that's just how the existence of a warrior is to L.

K was spinning his revolver around singing to himself as he walked down the halls. “I don't give a shit and I don't give fuck about these lower level pieces of scrap, just shows we're the apex predators of machine kind.” He said with a smile. Something shined at the end of the hallway before a knife came flying towards him, the disassembly drone quickly reacted and avoided the blade as it left a small cut on his cheek. “Woah alright then!”

He heard footsteps coming down the hall before revealing to be Doll who fired the knife with her solver powers. “Твой бег заканчивается здесь, демон.”

K then picked up on the orange solver symbol hovering in front of her hand. “Well I'll be damn, you're one of those freaks aren't you, how unfortunate.” He licked his hand and smacked his cheek, healing his cut.

Lizzy was peeking around the corner behind the Russian drone, Doll was confused about his statement. “Что это значит, объяснитесь сейчас!”

“Well supposedly it's top secret, but heard rumors that this planet was experimenting with drones using the…nah I shouldn't explain this, besides not sure if it's true, but what I do know is that if they find drones like you, we kill them with no questions, so you know I hope you don't mind if you-.” Suddenly another revolver holster dispensed out the other side of his thigh, K quickly grabbed it and spinned both of his guns before pointing at Doll. “Die!” The Disassembly drone then fired all of the twelve shots from his revolvers.

The solver drone quickly reacted and used her powers and caught all of the bullets, she then repelled them back to K in which he took cover and avoided them. He unloads all of the empty casings and placed both revolvers back into his holsters, they went back inside of his thighs as they began autoloading them.

“Hahaha alright, finally some real fun!” K jumped out of hiding and crawled across the ceiling towards Doll.

The female drone summoned more knives and launched them at the murder drone, he avoided them and let go of the ceiling before rolling over and pulled his now loaded revolver. Firing shots in which Doll dodge and flung locker doors open to block the shots, K put one gun away for reloading and popped out the other ready loaded one, rinse and repeat is his strategy.

“Doll uh sorry to interrupt but is there anything you need me to do and just sit here and look pretty!” Lizzy poked out.

“Нет, с тобой все в порядке, я предпочитаю, чтобы ты не пострадал, чем попытаешься что-то предпринять!” Doll explained before turning back at K jumping towards her.

She did the equivalent of a force push and launched him back, the Russian drone moved forward and threw more knives. The murder drone aimed at sight and shot the knives flying at him before planting his legs on the ceiling and propelled forward, Doll wasn't expecting it as he crashed into her onto the ground. Before she did anything K placed the barrel against her forehead, Lizzy gasped and looked around for something.

“End of the line girly, I have to say, really impressive, but I came on-.” Suddenly Lizzy smacked his face with a textbook. He didn't flinch, all it did was break his glasses. He then grabbed the blonde's neck. “You have a death wish or something?” That was enough to distract K for a bit as Doll pushed him back, freeing Lizzy while he landed back on his feet. He took off his ruined glasses and tossed them away before pulling new ones and putting them on. “Oh yeah, I'm scooping your insides out like ice cream.” K tapped his revolver on the floor before charging again, Doll pushed Lizzy back before prepping again for attacks.

Thad was kept on look out duty while Uzi kept trying to call N countless times but no answer while working on the railgun. “Ugh come on N, what could he possibly be doing where he didn't think once to check if anyone messaged him?”

Back in the landing pod the communicator kept blinking an incoming transmission, however N and V were too occupied with each other as Huey Lewis and the News was blasting in the background. V biting her lips hard and bucking her hips while N was underneath blankets eating her out, while gripping his smooth silver hair.

“Yes yes oh yes! Oh come to mama N! Ngh such a good boy ah!”

Uzi's call was missed again. “Dammit, uuuuuuuuugh!”

“Well, it looks like we're still on our own still.” Thad commented before Uzi went back to work. “...So, still mad at your pops?”

“I'm just confused at him, after what we've been through he still wants to hide and keep everything a secret…I never knew what mom was actually like because he hid it from me, ever since N showed up and me learning more of my solver powers all of the sudden he wants to be present in my life and started talking about mom more often, I don't know if I should be thankful or…worried.” The goth-drone explained while finishing screwing a panel. Thad wouldn't understand how she truly feels about due to him having parents that show care for him. He's thankful but he wants to make sure his Spark cakes is fine at the end of the day. “Enough family drama, how's your headache doing, non existent now?”

“Oh yeah, finally glad they're gone, no more pain and voices.”

Uzi then cocked an eyebrow on her screen. “Voices.”

“Yeah…oh right I didn't tell you…eh not a big deal.” Thad brush it off.

“Not a big deal? Thaddy that doesn't sound good, what do you mean voices?” The girlfriend asked.

“...Well, during those headaches, it's like, someone was trying to talk to me, something about, turning me into an apex of the universe and feeding on the undesirable, it was really bizarre before the solver took over me.” Thad explained.

Uzi looked back to her railgun before speaking up. “I know what you're talking about.” The jock was surprised. “During nights, I'll have dreams of the same thing, but more calming the scary, sometimes I imagine if it's my mom trying to talk to me, but at least I'm not alone about it.” The worker put in the last piece before the railgun began powering, Uzi was filled with excitement as she jumped out of the seat and picked it up. “Sick as Hell railgun, complete! I'm coming back for you humanity hahaha!”

Thad smiled at her excitement and walked to her, he placed his hand on her shoulder. “Hey, thanks for understanding at least, we'll be crazy together you know.” He smiled at the female drone. Uzi smiled back but was brief when they heard gunshots echoing in the hall.

Doll avoided more shots before nearly getting pistol whipped by K who kept swinging at her, she managed to pull another knife and stabbed the disassembly drone but he shrugged it off while kicking Doll flying.

He pulled the knife out and laughed. “That ain't shit, it's gonna take more than that to kill me!”

Just then Lizzy got shoved to the side as Uzi rolled up with her railgun. “Bite me bitch!”

“...Huh that's a railgun…Wait a minute that's a railgun!” K screamed. Uzi fired it only for the disassembly drone to jump up to the ceiling, the shit burned off his tail which he yelped in pain. “Oh great backup arrived I'm guessing, you'll be sorry, but for now I got a safe room and awols to find!” He punched in another vent before scurrying away.

“Well someone finally decided to show up!” Lizzy comments.

“You're welcome, you hear that, he's heading to the safe room, we need to get there first before he'll slaughter everyone!” Uzi put her railgun back.

“А как насчет того, чтобы остаться невредимыми со своими друзьями-убийцами? У нас все еще недостаточно сил против этого дрона.” Doll commented.

“Crap you're right but N is still not answering, if only…Keybug!” Uzi reached into her beanie and pulled out the golden roach. The Russian drone perked her eyes when she saw the Keybug, that couldn't be, is that what she thinks it is? “Hey bud, look I need a huge favor from you, I need you to go get N and V, please, everyone is counting on you!”

The small bug jumped up before responding. “🫡”. It then jumped off and scurry off.

“Okay come on everyone, let's get going while they get our back up.” Uzi ran to the safe room with Thad following.

Doll stood there with a deadpan look on her face before Lizzy talked to her. “Hey huh, you okay?”

“Да... просто думаю о делах, которые нужно скоро уладить, мой дорогой друг.” The female drone followed them.

“Oh okay, just checking.” The blondie ran behind them.

Not knowing K eavesdropped on the workers as he hung from the vent. “Well well well,so they do know the awols, and they're heading to the safe room, perfect.”

Keybug hurried it's way to the corpse spire to warn N and V, after a bit he made it inside and crawled into the pod.

“Ah ah, ngh, V!”

“Don't stop, don't stop, oh don't stop N!”

Both Disassemblers were still getting freaky under the sheets as N was on top of V, thrusting his hips like no tomorrow.

“Oh Robo-God V you feel so, so…” N stopped with a confused look on his screen.

“...I feel so what N?” V didn't notice until now but Keybug was on top of her head.

“Keybug? What are you doing here, you peeping Tom?!”

‘*Typing* The bunker is in danger.’

“What?!”

‘*Typing* Two Disassembly Drones broke and are attacking the colony, Uzi needs your help.’

“*Gasp* Oh my biscuits the colony needs me!” N jumped out of bed leaving V confused. He quickly got his clothes on before turning and seeing V getting ready as well. “What the? V no I don't you to-.” The drone was silenced by his lover with a finger to the mouth.

“Shhhh, I'll be fine, I don't want you to do this alone, I'm tough, I'll make sure the baby won't get hurt.” The male Disassembler sighed in relief before V grabbed the collar of his coat and pulled him into her face. “You owe me an orgasm when we get back.”

She let go of N as he watched her fly out of the pod. “...My biscuits, what a woman.” The Disassembly drone had a huge smile on his face.

The group rushed through corridors at the loading docks, the main warehouses of the bunker where they were able to trade out to other colonies and store all the goods and supplies to keep them afloat. The safe room is located close by as well due to I being a deeper part of the bunker, the loading docks were very open as well due to them using cranes and forklifts to transport everything. Eventually they found the safe room door in which Uzi banged on it loudly, the worker's inside jumped in fear before Khan went and opened the window door.

He was shocked yet relieved it was Uzi and her friends. “Uzi! There you are, oh robo-God where were you?!”

“Got into a little ordeal with the intruders, but don't worry N is on his way, no open the door for us!” His daughter yelled.

“Okay sweet pea! Just give me a-.” A couple of bullets suddenly hit the door, making Khan back away.

Everyone turned and saw K poking out of the vent and landed to the ground. “Found you guys!” Doll ran in front of the group and attacked, but the Disassembler was a step ahead. “Here catch!” He pulled out a flashbang from his coat and tossed it in front of her, blinding her with a white flash. The Russian's vision cleared only to see a gun barrel touching her temple. “Huh, I thought workers were much smarter?” The barrel on the chambered in his shot as he was about to pull the trigger, just then K's jacket was grabbed.

He looked at the person who grabbed him with a vicious X on his screen but changed after what he's looking at, that being Thad who switched to his solver form. “Back off punk.” The jock then socks K in the face making him step back, before he could do anything Thad tackled him to the ground and was going to tear in with his claws.

K blocked it with his revolvers and kicked Thad off, he jumped up only for Uzi to fly towards him and kicked his chest making launch back further. The disassembly drone was in disbelief of what he's seeing, the green one has moth wings while the hot topic freak was bats!?

He looked at Lizzy standing in the back. “...What? Oh you were expecting to have a cool transformation too? Gee thanks for making me feel left out!”

“This whole planet is full of freaks! No wonder they want you eradicated.” K whispered.

“What, who's they? Ah forget it, we're ending this now!” Uzi yelled.

“Fine by me!” The Disassembler pointed his gun at them and fired away.

All shots were then blocked by Doll using some metal scrap within the warehouse, Uzi and Thad nodded at each other and flew towards the drone. The goth-drone did a spin kick on one of the scrap metals floating in front of her, sending it flying at K which he wasn't expecting. He crashed into him sending flying back against a wall, the jock then finished off him spitting his silk at the murder drone trapping him against the wall. The intruder was finally immobilized as the trio cheered in victory, Lizzy clapped for them and even turned to see the colonists cheering behind the door in celebration.

“Ha, haha we did it, nice team work guys!” Thad cheered.

“Uh yeah, just uh being moral support back her, cheerleading, go workers!” Lizzy tried to pitch in.

Uzi smiled before looking back at K. “Not so high and mighty now idiot, talk about being full of himself.” The emo-worker then pulled out her railgun only to see it's still on cool down. “Ugh I need to fix that, alright guess we wait until I'm ready to blast this dummy.”

However previous words came to bite back when a door at the end of the room was kicked out of its hinges, it slid across the room as everyone looked at the end. It was their last opponent, L in which he entered the room, sword in hand and a stoic face displayed on screen as he walked down while everyone watched.

K then started cackling seeing his partner finally arrived. “Oh you guys are so fucked.”

L looked at K trapped and turned back to the workers. “...I would recommend surrendering now, I don't want this to escalate.” Doll didn't want to hear it and threw a knife straight towards the disassembly drone, however just when it was about to hit his face L grabbed mid air. Uzi and Thad were shocked as it was inches away from his face, the Disassembler looked at the knife and threw it aside. “I see you made your choice, I didn't want to resort to this.” L then grabbed and withdrew his blade and pointed at them.

The couple decided to repeat what they did to K and charge at the Disassembler, however when Thad went in to strike L he blocked the blow and pushed him back. Uzi then flew in to bite him on his side but he stepped away from and knees her stomach, she growled and used her tail to attack only to be immobilized by his wrapping around its mouth. L then leg swept her to the ground, Uzi then took a bite to his leg but it didn't budge him in the slightest. He kicked her back up to her feet and to seal the deal the disassembly drone sliced off one of Uzi's wings, she screamed out in pain, oil spraying out before he kicked her away.

Uzi! Grrr don't hurt her!” Thad roared and went in to attack.

The viciously tried to claw L but kept being blocked by his blade, his tails went in to attack only to be smacked away by the scabbard in his other hand.

The moth drone continued to aimlessly strike while the murder drone kept deflecting. “Such energy yet such recklessness and lack of strategy, how are you going to protect others if you can control yourself.” L then jabbed Thad in the stomach with his scabbard and punched him in the face.

Uzi got back and saw Thad being pummeled, finally the moment he got back his footing the jock was about to leap only for then to have his whole arm sliced off by L.

“THAD!!!” Uzi cried.

Thad was in complete shock before being punched in the chest sending him flying back, he rolled across the floor until his girlfriend caught him. Doll was at a complete loss of words before snapping out of it and using her powers to get Thad's severed arm.

She then flung it to Uzi as she caught it. “Отправляйтесь в безопасную комнату, я выиграю нам немного времени!” Doll yelled.

Uzi nodded and helped her boyfriend up and waved at Lizzy as she moved forward. “Khan opens that door now!” The blonde yelled.

“On it!”

“Oh Robo-God Thad, I'm so sorry.” Uzi was panicked.

“It's okay Uz, we'll ngh…we'll get N to fix it don't worry.” He tried to keep a smile on his face.

The Russian worker fired more knives at L, he quickly deflected them before grabbing the last one and throwing it back at Doll. The blade struck the worker's shoulder, she winced in pain before pulling it out, just then she looked back up only to see L ran up and hit her screen with his palm.

“Lizzy help Thad in!” Uzi handed Thad over to Lizzy along with his arm before Doll crashed against the wall next to her.

The cheerleader drone helped the moth in through the door, everyone screamed and gasp until they realized it was Thad.

“T-Thad, what happened to you?” Emily spoke up

“It's a long story hehe.”

L cut K out of his bindings and helped him up. “The warrior knows how to make an entrance I see.” K said with a smile.

L sheaves his sword back. “Well someone has to keep an eye on you.”

Uzi helped Doll up and saw the disassembly drones walk to the bunker door, Khan tried to close the door but K fired a shot to get him away from it.

“End of the line you two, now hand over those awols so this guy right here will be happy while having fun with the killing hahaha.” K laughed while L rolled his eyes.

However something unexpected came out of the blue, a missile zipped past both females and blew up in K. Sending him back into crates, L faced back to the direction of the missile only to see N flee out of the safe room tackling L through a window leading to a lower level of the warehouse.

“N? They got my message, they got my message!” The emo-worker cheered.

K however wasn't finished as he got up from the rubble and stood up, the door was still open. “Grr out of my way!” The Disassembler ran and pushed the girls out of the way. He reached the doorway only to be abruptly stopped, he turned to see orange and purple solver symbols grasping his arm.

Uzi and Doll tried pulling him back. “Получил твою руку!”

“Well yeah, you can shove it up your ass!” K pulled out his revolver and shot his arm clean off. He bolted in causing all the workers to freeze in fear and stepped away from him. “Know where to run, time for the slaughter to begin!”

It was until he heard guns clicking on the side of him. “That's where you're wrong, bucko.”

K turned to see V standing on the side of him, both arms switched to guns pointed at him. “So there you are, you were hiding here, well time to turn you-...what?” The drone pointed his gun down when he noticed the female drone standing in front of him is apparently preggos. “...Well that's not fair at all.”

“Oh I'm sorry…I don't give a shit!” V then unloads a stream of bullets all over K’s body. He stood there for a bit before dropping on the floor, silence was for one moment before everyone cheered for V.

“V!”

“Bestie!” Thad and Lizzy ran to V and hugged her.

Uzi came in and saw K dead on the floor while everyone felt like the crisis was now averted. “For once in my life I'm actually happy to see you.” The worker congratulated the murder drone.”

“I got your message freak.” V showed Keybug in her hand and handed it back to Uzi. “Besides I didn't want N to be alone on this one…what the Hell is she doing here?!” The Disassembly drone pointed at Doll standing in the doorway.

“Э-э... позже.” The Russian drone vanished leaving V frustrated.

“Don't worry about her bestie, I think you're still cool.” Lizzy patted her back.

Thad bud in too. “Well I don't know after this she's ever going to come back, this was just a temporary friendship…also V can you lick my arm?” The worker showed her his severed arm.

Somewhere in a lower level broken glass fell to ground as the two Disassembly drones landed on the ground, N stood up dust himself off and looked up from where they crashed from.

“Not the happiest landings but as long as everyone's safe, that's all that matters.” N then N heard L jumped back onto his feet.

Finally their first meeting has arrived. “So, you must be Serial Designation N, we finally meet at last.” L politely greeted.

“Well it's a pleasure to meet you too…whoever you are.” N said with confusion.

“Oh how rude of me, I apologize, my name is Serial Designation L, I'm part of the JC Jenson recovery team to recover you and your partner and alive, you must've stirred yourself in an interesting pot, according to your background.”

“W-What does that supposed to mean?” Both began circling each other.

“According here what I'm reading, disassembly drone assigned to the Copper-9 extermination task, yet shows signs of not showing interest in killing, the lowest kill ratio of all the assigned Disassemblers, you were also involved with the…huh, the Elliott Manor Galar Massacre.” L read off.

“Uh I'm not really familiar with that one, in fact I don't know anything about that one, anything you bring about me remembering things is hard because I don't know if it's a short term memory thing.” N went on.

“...You too huh? Hmm, I can relate, I don't know anything of my past either, so foggy yet I feel something happened, but you have an interesting resume, no wonder why Tessa wants you back.”

“Tessa? What does Tessa have to do with this?” The drone was confused.

“Easy there boy, look I'm not here to kill you or V, the company is actually willing to get you back alive, we promise everything will be back to normal, your old life, your old team, everything will be like nothing ever happened, they'll even assign you to a new planet.” L explained.

N felt conflicted, on one hand, no more hiding and running from the company anymore. But that's the issue, he'll be back in the company's hands, on top of that, his old life, he hated it, he never liked killing in the first place. And what if the company finds out V's pregnant with his child, are they going to take it away from them. No he can't, Uzi, Thad, and the others, he would be leaving them behind, N can't do this, the new life he built to, just left behind.

“...No, I can't go back, I don't want anything to do with the company anymore, and…you seem nice L, much more tame like others but i can't, can't you like, I don't know pretend you couldn't find me and report it back?”

L looked upset before nodding his head no. “It's…not that easy N, I'll be honest, I envy you, you live free along with these drones while I question myself on why I'm doing this, so many innocent drone lives wasted in the hands of the company, but the company is already aware of my questioning, if I fail this mission they will dismantle me and K, this is who we are N, murders working for our creators.”

“But it's not who we are on the inside! I don't want to go back L, I want to live a happy life with V, with Uzi…with the colony.” N shouted before calming himself again.

“...N, don't make me do this, this is my final warning.” L unzipped his jacket and removed it, N was shocked to see his body was much more different. It was so tone and muscular looking along with his arms, it was like he did a side gig of body building. He then tied the sleeves around his waist leaving it hanging below him. “I don't want to be dismantled.”

The awol drone was scared about the ordeal before making his decision, N then pulled out his bladed claws. “...I'm not coming back to the company L.”

“*Sigh* Then you're going to have to kill me, N.” He grabbed his handle and withdrew his Shirasaya.

Both stared down at each other before L made the first move and ran towards him, the disassembly drone jumped in the air and came down to N as the battle against two sides began.

V licked Thad's arm and stuck it back in place. “It's going to be numb for several minutes, so these two were sent to retrieve us?”

While the disassembler explains, Uzi was checking up on everyone. “Yeah, so they thought you two were here but he bought you some time before you got here.”

As everyone was talking Emily walked up and to the corpse of K, other than N and V she never gotten this close to one before. The final girl saw his arm still lying around, she went ahead and picked it up and headed to the distant drone's body. Others looked at it and observed while Emily placed his hand next to him with a smile, but then something caught her eye, his fingers were twitching. Before she reacted K grabbed his served arm and slammed it back in place before yelling, all the drones jumped away and backed up, Emily screamed as she was grabbed by him. V and Uzi quickly turned as saw K was still alive, they attempted to do something before she pulled out his gun and pointed at her head.

“Stand back or I will shoot her!” K screamed.

The pair stopped as Emily was panicking for her life. “V h-help me!”

“You do anything crazy and I'll kill her!”

“Oh yeah go ahead, see if I care!” V yelled.

“Okay!” The bullet chambered.

“V!” The final girl cried.

“No wait, don't don't, I thought you were bluffing!” The female disassembler thought he wouldn't shoot.

“Look at you, becoming a softy for these lower level pieces of scrap, I'll give you the count of three to turn yourself in or I will splatter her motherboards all over the damn room! Three!”

“V Help me!” Emily's screen began to display tears.

Khan was shaking behind him not knowing what to do, until he saw a wrench sitting on the table next to him.

“Two!”

V and Uzi wanted to stop him but did not want to risk Emily's life, Thad was stuck while everyone watched in fear.

“One!”

Khan was still shaking with his decision, after hard thinking and courage he finally stopped shaking and grabbed the wrench.

“Times, Up! *Clang!* Ah!?” The back of K's was struck by the wrench by Khan.

The father then grabbed Emily and jumped out of the way onto the ground. “Now V!” He screamed.

That was the murder drone's cue as she jumped at K, he tried to quickly shoot her only to be struck in the chest by her claw. He stood there for a sec and looked down to see her hand went straight into his chest.

“Ooh, f-fuck me.” Those were the final words he could sputter out before V pulled out his core.

K's body short circuit before a “Inefficient Power” screen with warning sign came out and his body fell to the ground hard, finally putting the disassembly drone out for good. The moment was now pure silence as everyone was now relieved but still spectacle if he was out for good, Khan helped Emily up before she ran to V and gave her a tight hug.

“I-I thought I was going to die!” Emily was sobbing while V awkwardly stood there before patting her head to comfort her.

This whole night was a mess of heart tugging and anxiety for the colony, Uzi then noticed something off about the core V was holding, it looked…normal?

“Hey why does his core don't look all fleshy and messed up like J's?” The goth-drone asked the Disassembler.

V looked at the floor for a moment and looked away from her. “J and I are…different, so is N.” She looked back at Uzi after that last part.

Different? What do they mean by different from the others? “...Hold on a second, where is N?”

Back at the warehouse both drones weapons clashed with another, N was throwing attacks trying to get an opening while L deflected all with ease. The sword welding drone then went for his head but N arched his back backwards to avoid it and did a flip, quickly pulling out a gun and fired at L only for him to block the bullets before kicking N in the face. The goober drone got back up and pointed his gun at him again while L prepared himself again, but something clicked in his head, this isn't fair, so far he only used his weapon and not any of the munitions built into his body. So N put his gun away and went back to his claws, L then nodded and stood up straight.

“Perfect, fight honorably, show me your true strength N!” L got into a battle stance followed by N.

Without any more stalling they resumed fighting, N kept trying to maneuver his opponent but L just seemed quicker. Blocking every attack while he tried to break his guard, the recovery drone went for a leg sweep but N jumped over it and went for a strike. L quickly blocked it but stumbled back for a bit, he was impressed but not enough to get him down. N then rushed for a tail strike but was caught by his enemy, he tugged it to bring reel in an attack but N switched to a chainsaw hand and went towards him. L was quick about it and blocked the saw with his arm, letting it cut through his hand as he kicked N off of him. The blade welding drone licked his deep wound to heal, N was seriously stuck, he doesn't want to hurt him but doesn't have a choice or else he'll lose everything. L charged again while N tried to evade him, only for the Disassemblers to get his arms wrapped by the recovery drone's tail. A scabbard to the screen cracking it before and a strong kick to the chest sending N back and rolling across the floor far from, he struggled to get back up and shakes a bit before getting back on his feet. He's too strong, and doesn't show any signs of backing down. But something L didn't expect from N after wiping the oil off of his mouth, the murder drone stood tall and put his claws away.

“I refuse to fight L, I'm not coming with you, but I'm certainly not killing you either!” The silver haired drone screamed.

L was confused about what he's planning on doing, however he was done fighting too, it was time to end this. “Poor choice, not falling for your tricks!”

“There's no tricks.” N then opened his arms out wide. “I don't want to fight anymore.”

However L's screen changed to an X and charged at N as he stood still, the drone didn't say a word as the recovery drone jumped in the air for a downwards slash. He sliced through N's chest while oil sprayed out, L's screen however changes to shock after harming him, he didn't…fight back? He just took it!”

N realized his guard is completely down now, without hesitation he smacked L's sword out his hand knocking it away. Before he had time to react the murder drone's arm switched to a claw and struck his chest, exactly where his core should be at. L winced in pain, looking down as N plunged deeper into him, he coughed out oil while he placed his hand around the boy's arm. N's X on his screen changed back after he felt his other hand on his shoulder, realizing what he just did.

L then studdard words. “You *coughs*, didn't fight or d-defended back?”

“I was trying to show I'm not a threat but…I'm sorry, I wish there was another way.” Guilt began to creep over N but then he heard chuckling.

“N-No, you did what had to be done…you have a d-dream N, to fight for the person you want to be, for your Own…ind-divduality…I wish someday…I could fight for it too…the company will not give up until this planet is c-clean of all drones…so N…k-keep fighting for that dream.” L then felt N place a hand on his shoulder.

“I will.” He then ended off with pulling his core out.

L screen was glitching but didn't fall yet, he turned around and walked to his sword that was sticking into the floor. He suggested walking for a bit but grabbed his weapon, sheathing it with a prideful stance before finally shutting down and falling to the floor.

N looked at his core and put it to his side and walked up to his body and picked it up. Everyone back inside the safe room chatted until they saw N walking inside, holding the body of L in his arms. Uzi and everyone watching in shock, the disassembly drone placed his body down next to K's while handing the goth-worker his core.

“He fought honorably…you all are safe now!” The announcement made everyone cheered while running up to N and V.

Khan watched as the murder drones he questioned completely saved his colony, he smiled for a bit until he realized something. He let out a breath before standing on top of a table.

“Everyone, may please have your attention!” The worker's focus switched to Khan. “Firstly, I want to apologize to my daughter Uzi. Not only was I wrong about what I said to you but you and your friends fought back so the real heroes showed up and saved everyone, so…thank you sweetheart.” Uzi had a smile and felt a little embarrassed from his praise. “Now for N and V, I'm sorry for not fully trusting you at first, I was scared and still need time to process everything but I'm eternally grateful for you two, which leads me to my final decision, N, V…how would you like to live in the colony with us!” The father offered the two.

“*Gasp!* Really?!”

“Oh wow.” N was starstruck while V was flabbergasted.

“Well what do you say you?”

N then grabbed V's hands. “V come on we have to, no more living in the corpse spire! We're finally accepted!”

The female murder drone took one hard thought before smiling. “Eh why not, that old crap bed and constant snow storms won't be missed at all.”

The male drone excitedly picked up his lover. “Oh my biscuits thank you! I love you so much V!” She smiled and hugged him back while everyone clapped for them.

Emily meanwhile saw the two Disassembler intruders still laying on the floor lifeless.

“What are you doing?” She turned around to see it was Uzi.

“Are they dead?”

“Not completely, their cores were removed since as long as we have them, they're not getting back up, besides, I have a lot of questions for these two later.” Uzi held up their labeled cores and laughed.

The final girl looked back at the two, she wondered, If N is different and if V can change…could they too?

N was hanging a dog poster inside the living room of his and V's new living corridors in the bunker, smiling that everything is coming together, they still need to find a baby crib he was thinking. V walked in a box of more of the stuff into their living room, already feeling tired from caring it.

N noticed and gave her a hand. “Here I'll take care of it, go relax you still have a passenger in there.”

“I'm fine N, there's one more box at the pod and that should be everything.” The female drone dust her hands.

“You sure?”

“Yes I'm sure, I'll be fine, just go take your CDS and the player into our room dummy.” She smiled and walked out.

“Okay be careful…our room hehehe I'm freaking out!” N picked up the box and went to their room.

He placed the box on the side of the bed and checked to make sure he didn't forget anything. When he was done the drone took off his coat and hung it up so he could get comfy. N then picked up something on his upper arm in the mirror on the wall, the branded “Property of JC Jenson” plastered on it. His programming is making him feel sick to his stomach by just looking at it, reminding him of what L told him after their battle, he thought about it for a moment.

“Okay N that's the last of the-.” V then stopped when he saw N on the bed wincing in pain as he was clawing his arm. Quickly the drone laid the stuff on the floor and rushed to him. “N what are you…doing?” It was revealed that N was clawing and destroying the branding of his arm. “Oh…I see.”

“...You want me to get yours too?” Her lover offered.

“...Yeah, it's on my back.”

V sat at the edge of the bed with her jacket lowered while N was scratching away, she tried her hardest not to make to much noise from the pain. After the male drone finished he leaned and licked her back so it can probably heal.

“It's done.”

“Thank you, that's the last of the stuff so we should be all done for the night.” The female disassembler raises her coat back up.

“Good, I'm beat.” N scooted close to her and rubbed her belly. “V…are you scared for the future?”

“...Sometimes N…sometimes.” They were silent for a bit before she heard him giggle.

“Well, no matter what happens, I hope you will become a happy family.” N kissed V's forehead, making her blush and laugh.

“You're such a goober…hehe speaks of happiness.” The female murder drone shoved N onto the bed and sat on his lap. “You still owe me what you promised earlier, and now we have the rest of the night all to ourselves~.” V gave him a seductive smile as she unzipped her jacket, her breasts flopping out with the combination of the view of her pregnant belly made N go neuron activation.

The wording on the outside door switched to "do not disturb” before muffled moaning and groaning could be heard on the other side, standing on that other side Thad and Uzi stood there holding housewarming gifts hearing their rough “wrestling”.

“Maybe we'll just leave their gifts here, I'll just shoot him a text.” They both placed their gifts down and walked away holding each other's hands.

“So uh, where did you guys put the disassembly drone's bodies at?” Thad asked.

“We left them in a storage room, something's telling me we have a lot of questions for our guests.” Uzi finished as they continued down the bunker.

Inside the said storage room was K and L's body's laying on top of tables, on another table their cores were left inside of a container that was locked up reading “Do Not Open!” Looks like it's going to be a patient game of prisoner now, all they can do is wait until the workers show up and decide what to do with them. The room was dark but the cores began illuminating and golden glow, L's was different. A hint of red was seen visble for a bit before fading away. For now, fate will decide, something L would say.
