Chapter 18 - Act I. Some truth

"Wha-what?..." he backs off, leaving Lina and the closet as he adjusts himself with his spider arms, trying not to fall off from the shock he got.

"Wha-what is that?!" He says while pointing his finger at the old outfits, backing off. "Tell me what the fuck is that?!"

"Those are the outfits of the freakin' pirates." Lina rushes to Zick and holds his suit pulling him up. "Just like I freakin' told you! Now get up!"

The confused brother rises up as he still shakes, barely able to stand up using his arms, murmuring to himself.

"I-I... I- wh-what?! It can't fuckin' be! So does that mean..."

The lady nods slowly, causing Zick to breath heavily, almost falling again.

Lina grabs Him again, shouting at him.

"Gee! Listen! Get your freakin' senses together!" She shakes the man with slight force. "Now you know better about what's going on!"

Zick smacks Lina with his spider arm, pushing her aside, shouting at her while almost tearing up.

"Do you have any fuckin' idea what that means?! It doesn't only mean that I've been living in a lie my entire life. It also means that I was determining to be fuckin' alone!"

Lina raises her eyebrow with confusion.

"What? What do you freakin' mean? Alone?"

"Yes alone!"

He looks down and covers his face, backing to the corner of the room, away from the closet, beginning to sadden the mood more.

"Why am I saying these stuff. Couldn't you just fuckin' kill me already? I'm your enemy after all. You fooled us into thinking you could've proven a better life for Metasteam as we don't need to fuckin' follow any rules of fate or whatever..."

Lina sits next to him, looks at him with a frown, causing a sad scene to begin.

"I... I won't..."

Zick lifts his head a bit, looking at her, confused yet still trying to shy away, replying with stutter.

"W-why?... why won't you f-fuckin' do it already?! After these news I'd rather be dead!"

"Why is that?!" She replies.

He sighs slowly, looking up while leaning his back to the wall.

"Fuck it. I'll just say it... you know what a brother's code is?"

"Umm... I think..."

"Fuck's sake. Every robot has a nine digit number code which is on their right arm to identify each robot as different. Basically like an ID."

He gets cut off by Lina giving a bit more information that she knows.

"Yeah... gee I freakin' know that already. When a new robot comes out of M.O.T.H.E.R, they get a code printed on their hand by the guards of the machine. And only the bosses don't have a code since they were created before that era started."

Zick sighed. "Thanks for reminding the obvious..." the reply made Lina look down a bit more with a shamed expression. He then continues to say what the Brother's code is with a tired tone.

"Anyway. When more than one robot has the same last three digits as another robot then that means they're brothers. That's the brother's code. Fuckin' got it now?"

She nods slowly, acknowledging Zick. "Thank you for reminding me..."

The young brother looks at Lina, surprised from the reaction, expecting her to attack or tie him up while sitting down as the great trapper that she is.

He moves closer to her, causing her to back a little nervously and talk with a shy voice.

"Umm... what are you freakin' doing?"

"Why didn't you fuckin' do anything to me? You put me, Jack and Sam into this situation yet you're not trying to do anything to me now... why the fuck are you doing nothing right now?"

"I um... gee.. it... it's because I-."

She gets caught off by Zick standing up and talking with a loud and stressed voice suddenly.

"Hold on a fuckin' minute... where are Sam and Jack?!" He grabs her and lifts her up while looking at her. "Where are they right now?!"

Lina scratches her head while giggling with a stressed expression, worrying and angering Zick even more than before.

"I... I um... I kinda don't freakin' know..."

"You fuckin' WHAT?!"

The lady shakes a bit, afraid of the young brother as he pulls up his spider legs slowly to scare her.

"I-I don't know... my only freakin' guess is that they put Sam in the chambers and took Jack to their private office..."

Steam starts to shoot from Zick's head as his face turns red with anger, making Lina look down in fear.

"You guess?! Fuckin' fine then! We'll go there and YOU are gonna help me since yer attitude was this much of a help anyway!"

She grabs Zick by the arm, looking straight at him as she says with a bit more confidence.

"I'll help you in one freakin' condition! Tell me why you said you're going to be freakin' alone and why YOU didn't freakin' attack me!"

"No."

He grabs Lina with one of his spider arms, wrapping around her and putting her on his shoulder against her will.

"Hey!"

He shushes the lady in stress. "I didn't ask you anything. I'll make you fuckin' help me around this place or you'll regret what I'll do to you if you fuckin' refuse. Fuckin' got it now? Don't need answers, let's go."
