Christmas at the Manor

Things at the Manor had been quiet. The staff went about their usual tasks of attending to chores, directed by Brittany and Eva. Zoe and Hayli lounged around per usual, playing dress up in the costume room. Halo and Ikelos were at the front spending time with Master. That is until the stranger showed up.

She had a headset over her head, decorated with Christmas lights and glitter. On her body she wore a small and tight red and green string bikini. She came through the front doors and ran directly into Jaimye and Cyrus walking in the hall.

“Is that Ikelos?” Jaimye asked, pulling Cyrus close to him. He couldn't quite tell but the curly dark hair was a solid hint.

“Are we missing out on a group activity?” Cyrus asked. She looked a bit upset, having wanted to be more involved.

The dark haired stranger didn't answer them. Instead she pulled out a long festively decorated whip. Jaimye stepped back, pulling Cyrus with him. The stranger cracked the whip before swinging it forward in their direction. It wrapped around Jaimye's neck and then something strange happened. Lines of ribbon shot out of the tip and began wrapping around Jaimye's body.

Jaimye looked surprised and tried to free himself, but the more he fought the tighter the ribbons became. Once the ribbon has covered him from the neck down, the stranger pulled the whip back and Jaimye fell to the floor. There was an empty expression on his face, his features all relaxed and as limp as his body.

Cyrus looked on with surprise. She thought about running away, as was the typical game around here. Instead she stepped closer to the stranger, picking the end of the whip up and wrapping it around her own neck.

“Take me too,” she begged with trembling lips. She was afraid but excited, especially in knowing that the game would likely bring her to him, the Manor Master.

The stranger tugged on the whip and the ribbons began to encase Cyrus too. Once they were both wrapped, their bodies disappeared. Both were placed under the giant tree in the hall.

“What the fuck was that?” The stranger looked up to see Brittany and Eva watching from the kitchen entrance.

She flicked the whip in her hand and turned in their direction. Unfortunately she had forgotten about Brittany's tentacle abilities. The two whipped back and forth, but the stranger was overpowered by Brittany. Brittany wrapped a tentacle around the stranger's waist and slammed her onto the kitchen table.

“What are you doing? Who are your orders from?” Brittany asked.

“She's either been sent by my Master, or by Aubree. Either way should we intervene?” Eva looked around cautiously, expecting him to pop up from around the corner at any time.

“You saw that, both Jaimye and Cyrus disappeared. We should at least understand what's going on so we know how to act”

Eva rolled her eyes and flicked her demon tail at her sister. She had better things to do, and she definitely didn't want to get on Master's bad side by messing with his plans.

As if he'd heard them both, he showed up only a moment later with a Program. The Program, similar to a drone, stood next to Master in head to toe latex. Neither could tell who it was underneath, both feeling slightly jealous that it wasn't them.

Master made small talk with them for a moment, long enough to distract them enough to let the stranger escape.

“We should probably intervene and ensure that Ikelos doesn't become some kind of Christmas warrior roaming the inner world with that whip.” 01 was in the viewing room with 02, watching the whipping take place.

“That doesn't sound very fun. In fact, it has a wonderful idea!” 02 grinned and began rubbing 01’s shoulders. 01 melted into her seat to 02’s touch. That gave 02 the perfect opportunity to open 01’s back panel to deactivate 01’s movement capabilities.

“What are you doing?” 01 slumped further into her seat, her head falling forward. 02 giggled and opened a doorway in the viewing room, kicking 01 through it.

01 landed in the living room, right as the stranger walked by.

After taking 01, the stranger headed upstairs. Zoe and Hayli were exiting the costume room when they ran into her.

“Hey Ikelos!” Zoe said, moving closer to check out the headset on her. “Are we having a brainwash kinda day? Bahaha!”

“I like don't think that's Ikelos.” Hayli told her.

The stranger cracked her whip and went to grab Zoe, but Hayli pushed her out of the way. Hayli's neck and body was wrapped and Zoe watched her disappear.

“Nope nope nope.” Zoe said. “I got things to do!” She crawled across the floor and hid inside a playroom. The stranger went to follow but upon opening the doorway found herself looking at an endless hall of mirrors. Deciding the target wasn't worth the effort, she left.

Doppel, Deliah, and Artemis were walking into the front door when a whip wrapped around Doppel’s neck. Deliah hit the floor and hid under her hands as Artemis loaded her bow and aimed it at the stranger.

“What the bloody hell!?” Doppel exclaimed. The ribbons tightened around him. Artemis shot a warning arrow at the stranger only to witness it go right through her.

“That is not good.” Artemis mumbled. She pulled another arrow out and positioned herself in front of Deliah. “Run dumbass!” She yelled and Deliah turned and ran back out the front door.

As soon as Doppel disappeared, the stranger took aim for Artemis. But being a skilled warrior, Artemis had no problem dodging the incoming whip. That is until Seraphina entered the Manor. Seeing her Queen was enough of a distraction for the stranger to knock Artemis into the wall. The force was so heavy it knocked Artemis out.

“I believe I've interrupted something. Who are you?” Seraphina asked. The stranger looked at Seraphina, but as Artemis was being wrapped up the quota set had been reached and the stranger powered down.

The next day when the stranger powered up she found herself sitting in the Fae Kingdom. She had a job to do. She had presents to find.

She walked out of the room she was in and walked right into April.

“You're awake. The Queen would like to speak to you. She has your weapon.” April took her hand and began to lead the stranger down the hall.

The stranger held her hand open and another whip materialized. She took April by surprise and watched her disappear after being wrapped.

Along the way she grabbed more fae, Lavender, Indigo and December. Two more and her quota would be complete.

In the fae throne room she found Seraphina.

“I thought you would come. Although I thought I disarmed you, a mistake on my part. Can you tell me if you've come on my Emperor’s command?” Seraphina faced the stranger with no fear.

Instead of words the stranger pulled back their arm with the whip, preparing to strike. Not expecting the two burley men Trigger and Blight to jump in the way. The three stood off, with the stranger analyzing the best course of action. The Queen had been the target. She didn't want to fight either. Thankfully she didn't have to as a portal opened beneath her feet, dropping her down quickly.

The stranger landed in a field.

“I see what you're doing. I want to help.” She turned to see a glow of bright light surrounding three females. It was Aubree, Amaranth and Heidi. The goddess and her two priestesses.

The stranger counted again to see how many gifts she needed. She had five, she needed two more. She was curious though about the goddess' offer of help.

“I brought an offering.” Aubree twirled her hand and the stranger jumped back. Two people materialized. It was a hucow named Lexi and Brittany from the day before. They were both tied up and looking dazed.

The stranger cracked her whip and took the two of them, one at a time. Once they both disappeared the stranger powered down again.

This time when she woke she was in the city of Artessou. She had one day left before Christmas.

Harper was out watering her garden when she saw the stranger walking by. She didn't have a chance to react before she fell to the ground and disappeared. Those in the area who saw took off running and the stranger scanned for her next target.

Before she could pick a target she was dropped through another portal.

She landed in a bar in Temperance. Face to face with vampire Candy. She readied herself for battle but was surprised to see Candy submit herself to be taken. The stranger shrugged and wrapped her whip around Candy's neck. Two down. She turned to leave when a voice stopped her.

“If you're taking her will you take me too?” It was the witch Luna. She came running to the stranger and dropped to her knees. “Whatever it is, I want to be a part of it.” The stranger took her too and went back on the hunt.

She found herself in Niafell after some walking. There was one outside keeping watch at the village gates. The kitsune Kirei.

This one would be a fight, but it was unavoidable. The two squared off, with Kirei pulling out a sword. The stranger was about to go in for a strike when the ground began to shake. Vines ripped from the earth and wrapped around the arms and legs of Kirei. Amaranth was lending a hand.

The stranger took Kirei easily and headed to the village.

With Amaranth’s help she took two more before something happened and she was forcefully shut down.

The next time her eyes opened she found herself tied up and sitting in the village square. Izzy was holding her whip with her arms crossed over her chest.

“Why are you here?” She asked. The stranger didn't respond and Izzy punched her hard in the stomach.

The stranger squirmed in her bindings and Izzy reached forward to try and take the headset off of her. A second later Izzy went flying back from an electric shock.

02 appeared some time later with Aubree, the two were arguing.

“She needs to slow down or else the whole innerworld will be beneath the tree.” 02 said.

“If that is his will then we shouldn't interfere.” Aubree retorted.

“He gave her a number didn't he?” 02 asked.

“He gave her instructions and she's been following them. You want to be a good android, don't you?”

02 frowned. That was a low blow and Aubree knew it. 02 wanted to obey, she loved to obey him. Still, she tried to think of what 01 would do.

Not that it mattered because at that moment the stranger dropped through another portal, landing in front of Master. Her task was finally completed. It was Christmas.

An Interrupted Day

(cw: 18+, monster, cnc)

It was a relatively calm day around the Manor so Brittany decided to treat her sister Eva to an afternoon tea. The staff prepared the garden patio while Brittany scurried around the kitchen preparing a tray of their favorite snacks.

Eva showed up wearing a beautiful red bouffant dress, while Brittany wore her signature yellow sundress with a floral pattern across it. They both looked fabulous and took the time to compliment one another.

“Oh, Eva! You look lovely today.” Brittany said as the staff pulled out their chairs.

“As do you, my sister. I was quite thrilled by your invitation.” They both sat down and the staff began pouring tea and lining the plates with different treats.

Inside the Manor, Zoe was in the lounge with Candy, Ikelos, and Omi. The four of them were having a lazy day. Candy was lying on the couch by the fireplace, complaining about the lack of excitement while Zoe read comic books and Ikelos drew in a notebook. Omi sat quietly watching Ikelos draw while resting her head on Ikelos’ shoulder.

Downstairs in the game room, Toby, Chance, and Corey were taking turns at video games. The three of them sat in their boxers in solidarity that today the game room was their man cave. Their underwear party had already scared off a few female visitors, like Za'ora.

Aubree watched them all from her oasis in Celestia. From her perspective, they all looked- boring. She wanted to do something to spice things up for them. But what?

The priestess Amaranth approached, sensing Aubree's unrest.

“What seems to be ailing ye?” She sat down next to Aubree, glancing at the crystal pond Aubree looked into.

“What a dull day, wouldn't you agree?” Aubree asked.

Amara watched the different scenes around the Manor, stretching them out to the mundane activities taking place in the other places around the inner world.

“Aye. What are you going to do about it?”

“I'm not sure. It should be something big and widespread.”

“I've got a few ideas if ye want to hear them” Amara laughed.

Eva sipped her tea while Brittany talked about the changing weather and the coming cold. She was somewhat listening but her mind was a million miles away, thinking about her love.

Neither noticed the small portal opening beneath their seats. They didn't see the tentacles slithering up from them. It wasn't until Eva felt a tightness around her thigh that she looked down and screamed.

“What the fuck!?” She tried to jump up from her seat but found her leg trapped to her seat. Another one wrapped around her other leg to pull her back down.

Brittany looked down and found herself in the same predicament. She frowned, upset over her tea being interrupted.

“Who do you think is responsible for this one?” She asked Eva, who was stabbing one of the tentacles with her fork.

“Ugh, they're disgusting. This has Zoe written all over it.” Eva jabbed the tentacle again, then another one slipped out and took a hold of her arm.

Brittany looked down to see her breasts being massaged over her dress. Her large breasts were already extra sensitive all the time. It was so hard hiding her pleasure. She wanted to moan but pressed her lips together tightly. Her sister didn't seem in the mood to embrace it.

“Maybe this is something we're meant to enjoy?” Brittany asked once she was able to with a steady voice.

Eva felt something sliding between her legs and tried to close them. The hold on her legs was too tight for her to move. She still had one free hand and used it to try and block her pussy. It wrapped through her panties and began to pull.

“If that were the case my Master would be here.” She scowled and pulled back at her panties, listening to them rip in the tug of war for them.

Brittany moaned, feeling a tentacle sliding past her panties to probe at her pussy. Fuck me, she thought, hoping to will it forward.

In the lounge, Zoe had abandoned her books and crawled into her pillow fort to color. She was lying on her stomach, not seeing the portal open behind her. It wasn't long before there was a tentacle wrapped around her waist.

“OoO what's this?” She looked over her shoulder to see a slew of them coming for her arms and legs. “Hey guys! Mmpf mmpf!” She was cut off by a tentacle pushing into her mouth.

Outside the pillow fort small portals had formed around the remaining occupants. Omi jumped to block Ikelos and found her wrists and ankles grabbed by a group of tentacles.

Ikelos scooted away, only to find herself back towards a portal. A tentacle wrapped around her neck and pulled her to the floor. Her head hit the hard floor with a thud. She moaned and tried to get up but the tentacle tightened around her neck.

Candy fled to the ceiling with her supernatural powers. She scanned the room, looking for an escape. There was a chance she could make it to the door with one powerful leap. She braced herself and jumped. A tentacle shot up quickly and wrapped around her ankle. It pulled her down to the floor so hard it knocked her out.

Zoe was lost in pleasure. All of her holes being penetrated. She was held in a hogtied position with her legs and arms pinned behind her.

Similarly Ikelos was in the same position, but after a few moments, she was flipped over onto her back, giving access to her large heavy breasts.

It was only a few minutes before the entire room was filled with moans and zero resistance.

“It was a good idea to add an aphrodisiac to the tentacles. It looks disgusting but it's coating them nicely.” Aubree commented. Amara beamed at the compliment.

They looked at the game room, seeing the boys experiencing the same pleasure. Special tentacles were created for their cocks that wrapped around and sucked. Chance looked like he was in heaven watching Toby being used so thoroughly. Corey whimpered, having been denied any contact for some time now. The stimulation was too much for him to take.

Not that that stopped the tentacles. They operated on collecting energy from everyone's pleasure. Feeding that energy back to Aubree.

All around the inner world portals appeared and tentacles spawned out to grab those close by.

Back in the garden, Eva found herself coated in tentacle slime. Her arms and legs were still pinned to her chair. Brittany had long given up on hiding her arousal from her sister. She moaned around the tentacle in her mouth, spreading her legs for the two beneath her. Her thoughts all melted away leaving her thinking of nothing but pleasure.

Eva wasn't sure what to think. She was sure she didn't want those things inside her, yet the longer they touched her the harder it became to resist and think straight. It would've been nice to be able to talk to her sister about what was happening, but all she heard from her was gurgles.

A screen opened before her and she was surprised to see Aubree and Amara.

“Why are you resisting?” Aubree asked.

“I should've known this was you. Why are you doing this?” Eva narrowed her eyes. She had a rivalry with Aubree. Aubree held no ill will against Eva, but Eva saw Aubree as competition.

Aubree smiled. “Why wouldn't I want to bring pleasure to everyone?”

“I'm not everyone and I didn't ask for this.”

“No, you didn't ask. But can you say you don't need it?” Aubree sent extra energy to the portal below Eva. A tentacle with sharp edges on it brushed across Eva's legs. Eva yipped and looked down.

“What are you doing?” Eva demanded.

“Why are you still fighting Eva?”

The sharp tentacles ripped Eva's clothing off. Before Eva could respond a regular tentacle plunged up into her pussy. Eva gasped and fought in her seat. More wrapped around her waist, her chest, and her neck.

“Please stop,” Eva begged. Her words didn't match the response of her body and so Aubree continued. Another one slapped against her ass before probing for that tiny hole.

Aubree didn't give Eva a chance to protest. As her ass was taken, her mouth was at the same time. Her fighting slowly dwindled away until she was left in the same state as Brittany.

Satisfied, Aubree closed the screen. She has made the day more exciting for everyone. That was her ultimate goal. Gaining all the extra energy was just an added perk.

Part 1 - Primaxis

Chapter 1

There was a rip in the sky above the city. A woman fell out of it, falling down and landing on the top of a skyscraper. Had she been any ordinary woman it would've been a painful, if not deadly fall. But, 04 was an elite android unit.

Damage warnings flooding her visual feed, only to have her swiping away the pesky blinking boxes.

“You have sustained a good deal of damage. Is the core okay?” Lucy, her program assistant, came to life on 04’s wrist. A miniature composite of the software. She had long blonde hair and anime eyes, always dancing around and annoying 04.

“The damage report will have to wait.” 04 flicked Lucy from her wrist to her leg as she adjusted her position, leaning her back into a large metal door.

“Will that be once you're down to bits and pieces.” Lucy made a hmph sound and sat down on 04’s knee.

04 ignored her and unzipped her suit to access her chest compartment. Once opened, she reached in and pulled out a small power core, nestled in next to hers. Her own core glowed with a bright red orange color. The one in her hand appeared broken, with no glow of energy within it. Why did it risk everything for a broken core? The question nagged heavily in her processes.

“Why did we flee with a broken core?” Lucy asked, walking closer to run an analysis on it.

“It spoke to me.”

“This thing?” Lucy laughed. “It has no power. Not a single reading from it. We've become fugitives for no reason. They're going to scrap us, you know. Well, you, its an innocent bystander.” She pouted and 04 rolled her eyes.

“It is telling the truth, it showed me him, and these others visions. But it was all connected to him.”

“He is here. His location should be pinging on your map. What do you plan on-” Lucy stopped and 04 noticed warning visuals alerting her visual feed again. “They've found us.”

04 stood up and looked up at the sky. Another rip appeared and two others came from it. Two more from her team.

“Unit’s 02 and 05 have arrived.” Lucy spoke up from 04’s shoulder.

“We should run.” 04 turned and began running, triangulating the speed and jump she would need to reach the next building. All while navigating her route to him. Noah Williams.

She was the fourth of five units created in an elite team of androids by Liam Milford. They were the best of the best of any model out there. Their mission was to save their world. This broken power core she'd been carrying around was supposedly the key to do it all.

They had found the core, no problem. 04 reached out to retrieve it and once her hands touched it her visual feed was overloaded with images of unknown people and unknown worlds. None of it made sense to her and none of it seemed to save in a way that was transferrable to Lucy to decipher. There was one consistency among the images, a young man with dark blonde hair and green eyes. She knew she needed to get the core to him, and not to Liam.

The rest of her team didn't understand her explanation and labeled her malfunctioning, going as far as accusing her of damaging the core. It had been glowing when she touched it, a swirl of different colors within it. It was the most beautiful and enticing thing she'd ever seen. Once she touched it the light dispersed and the core darkened to nothing. He can fix it. She was so sure of it, and yet she had no idea who he was.

“They're gaining on us. 02’s speed is unmatched, and your power reserves are plummeting. That fall took a toll. It told you to pay attention. You could have rerouted power to healing protocols.”

“It will find a maintenance booth once its able to.” 04 flicked Lucy off her shoulder, just to have her reappear again.

“Take a left up here. We're nearly to him.” Lucy pointed to an upcoming intersection below. 04 didn't want to risk more damage from another fall, and decided instead to activate the grappling line in her arm.

The metal tip protruded from her wrist and expanded out into a hook. She lined up her sight on a working target in front of her and shot the line out, getting it wrapped around before jumping down the side of the building.

She slid down with ease and ejected the line from her arm. Another thing to add to the maintenance list. Lucy pulled the map up and 04 picked up the pace down the street.

“He's inside the Mariscuri building.”

04 stopped in her tracks in the middle of the road, prompting several vehicles to lay on their horns at her.

“He's inside Liam's building?”

Lucy nodded.

“Anymore bad news?” 04 began running again towards the building.

A blast came from behind her, hitting her square in the back. 04 flew forward, landing on the top of a car.

“02 and 05 have caught up with us.” Lucy said, walking across the car's hood.

“You don't say.” 04 grunted and pulled herself up. She turned to face her teammates.

02 was short in size, not much past 4 feet. But what she lacked in size she made up for with speed and strength. 05 was a giant next to her at 6 feet.

“Return the power core, 04. You have deviated from the mission.” 02 held her palm up, ready to shoot again.

“If you listen, they may be lenient on us.” Lucy offered.

“Shut up.” 04 hissed at Lucy. “The mission is wrong.” She said to 02. She was stalling. Activating her weaponry and rerouting her remaining power to shields and speed.

“You're wrong, traitor.” 05’s voice boomed across the distance.

05 rolled her shoulders and six mechanical arms came out of her back. 04 jumped back out of the way onto the top of a car just as 05 shot ribbons at her from the extra arms. Part of her creepy spider modifications. They attached to the car below her and ripped it away, flinging the hunk of metal down the street. People around them were screaming and dashing to get out of the way of the street battle.

“It would not advise staying to face them.” Lucy sounded nervous and for good reason. 02 and 05 were ranked highest in battle strategies and strength. 04 jumped, dodged and flipped around the incoming ribbon attacks.

“It is waiting for something.” 04 whispered, dodging another ribbon attempt, moving up higher to the sky tracks. She weaved between the beams as 05 chased after her. 05 had a temper and she knew the chase would begin to get to her, which would increase her recklessness.

“You're expending too much energy.” Lucy warned, moving a warning alert into 04’s view. Her power levels had dropped below 50%. 04 ignored her and moved the warning out of the way. She was watching the clock.

She boosted her jump up to the tracks, but before her feet could land she felt a ribbon snapping around her waist. There was a sharp pull back. 05 tried to spin her to send more ribbon around. 04 wasn't going to let that happen. She could hear the train coming.

Using her remaining grapple attachment in her left hand, she shot out at the other side of the track before 05 could pull her down. It landed and she switched the settings to pull and felt her body moving forward. 05 was pulling back but the slack she'd sent out in trying to bind 04 wasn't coming back as quickly as she wanted.

“Stop running. It's useless” 05 shouted, gliding up to move herself closer to 04.

“05-” 02 hovered up behind, but 05 put her hand up to silence her partner.

“Give it up, 04. Give us the power core and it will consider salvaging some of your parts. Perhaps your head in a display case.” 05 was visibly fuming and walking more across the tracks.

04 reached the other end of the tracks and began pulling herself up. Lucy was busily trying to disable the ribbon around 04.

“It told you, it saw something while touching the core. It can't let Liam have it.”

“You malfunctioned. A broken bot following a flawed path to play hero.” 05 sneered at her, pulling back on 04.

“Nearly done.” Lucy told 04.

She could feel the ribbon loosening around her. With her arm still grabbed to the track frame she began pulling 05 closer to her.

“05, you really should-” 02 spoke up again and 05 angrily snapped a ribbon at her. The remaining ones she used to hold her position on the track. 05 stopped pulling and instead sent a shockwave through the ribbon to 04.

Luckily for 04, Lucy was anticipating such an attack and routed the shock directly to 04’s core. While 04 was siphoning up the power Lucy finished disabling the ribbon. It fell down and 04 staggered back off the side of the track with a grin on her face. 05 was still scowling as the train smashed into her.

“You could have blown my core to pieces with that move.” 04 said, dangling under the track. She lowered herself down slowly to the street.

“But, you're still alive. It knows what its doing.” Lucy smiled triumphantly.

04 scanned around quickly for 02, knowing she wouldn't be far behind.

The small pink haired android floated a few feet away from her. She held 05’s power core in her hand.

“It did try to warn her.” 02 said with a laugh. She slipped the core into her pocket. “Do we really need to keep this going? Innocent people are getting hurt.”

“Then let me go. Trust in what it saw.” 04 urged.

But 02 shook her head. “It can't do that. We have to complete our mission. To save our world.”

04’s face dropped. Of all of her team she'd hoped to have the most chance to get through to 02.

Seeing neither side was willing to sway they switched to combat stances. 02 fired the first shot and 04 jumped to the side to avoid. She returned fire, aiming for 02’s legs. 02’s shielding deflected her attacks easily.

“You don't have another train in your arsenal, do you?” Lucy laughed. 04 rolled her eyes, shifting behind a beam to avoid 02’s blasts.

There were sirens in the distance. 04 didn't want to involve law enforcement. Still, they could provide enough of a distraction for her to escape. In the meantime all she could do was try to wear 02’s power down and hope that hers lasts.

“How much of a boost did 05 give it?” She asked Lucy.

“Power is up to 75% but unstable. There's a continuous charge from the build up. If you don't find a way to discharge it then your core will explode.”

“Fantastic.” 04 sighed. She scrolled through possible options to penetrate 02’s shields, then decided on a few grenades. She loaded them up in her arm and aimed at 02. Not exactly 02, as when 02 jumped out of the way 04 still shot and the grenade stuck on the metal material of a track beam.

02 didn't catch on quickly enough. 04 fired two more at beams around them. As soon as they struck, 04 backflipped out of the area and detonated them. The area exploded in fire and the beams cracked through, dropping the tracks on 02.

“That was too easy.” Lucy said after 04 turned back towards the building her target was in.

“Says who?” 04 countered, looking down at the missing chunk of her torso that took a hit from 02.

>>> Maintenance required. Maintenance required.

The popup bounced around her visual feed as she burst through the doors of the Mariscuri building.

The first floor was filled with a crowd of mid level workers moving through security.

>>> Core instability detected. Maintenance required.

Lucy scanned the building until she found their target. “Third floor.” She told 04, pointing up.

04 stared at the cluster of security guards blocking her way to the escalators. She didn't want to hurt them, but at the moment they were an obstacle.

They were armed with weapons capable of rendering her useless, so she knew she needed to stay out of range.

“On the ground!” One of them shouted at her.

04 held her arms up to appear non threatening. “Ideas?” She asked Lucy.

“We could just kill them.”

“Any other ideas?” 04 shook her head. It wasn't that she hadn't taken a human life before, but over time the mortality of humans got to her.

“Your grappling extensions are out. Ammunition is low. Shields are erroring from the fall. Your power core is on the brink of bursting. Oh, and let's not forget the hole in your belly region. To be honest the situation is grim. On the bright side, the fifth floor has a maintenance wing.” Lucy moved the diagnostic screens into view.

04 frowned. It wasn't an ideal situation. But it was one she had to see through.

She took a step forward, hearing the weapons charge in her hand. Running through was a risky option but it was the only one she could come up with.

As she was about to take another step when a blast came past her, taking out one of the guards. 04 watched them scramble backwards to take cover. She peered over her shoulder to see 02, barely held together by the wires.

“That android is its to apprehend.” 02’s voice box was damaged, her words coming out in varying pitches.

The guards started to shoot at both of them. 02 returned fire but 04 dove down to the ground.

“Told you so.” Lucy told her. 04 glared at her and shuffled across the floor on her elbows.

04 found a clear path to the side and rolled her way out of the line of fire. The guards were working down 02’s shields with their constant firing but that didn't slow the android down as she moved closer, holding her palm to a guards chest and disintegrating him with her power.

The two androids exchanged a glance as 02 caught 04 crawling away. 04 prepared to defend herself but 02 was overrun by another group of guards. Funny they didn't realize she also worked for their boss.

04 took the distraction as a sign to run. She put all of her energy into making it to the escalators, running up them to the third floor.

“Head down this hallway and turn left.” Lucy instructed.

There were right lights flashing across the ceilings, with a loud alarm playing. A calm female voice came over the loudspeakers.

“This is not a drill. Please move to a safe zone immediately.”

04 pushed her way through the humans running in the opposite direction. She opened her chest compartment and removed the core, hoping it would give some indication of anything the closer she came to him.
