Chapter 10 - Act 1 BOTE: Part 10

Zip. Zip. Zip went the bullets. The rouge android still running away as its blue blood was dripping making the three to easily follow where it was going. Jock, being faster than the other two, is able to catch up to it and shouts a number command hoping it hasn't lost its full mind yet.

"Nexus bot, code 90887."

The bot, turning to look at Jock runs up towards him. grabbing him and throwing him up against a wall says in a broken yet audible tone "You are not in control here Nexus. that code won't work on me."

Jock tries to kick out of the bots grasp but fails to do so when the bot throws him on the floor. With its claw like hands it aims directly for Jocks head when suddenly it is shot on its side by Jared. Jared, loading another round, lets Aussie take a swing. Aussie fires and misses grazing Jock a little. "Arg, hey watch where your shooting at."

Aussie, not having enough time to respond to what Jock said fires another round at the android. The bot gets hit once more falling down to the ground but not quite dead yet. It opens up a panel and starts to enter a code. Jock, knowing what it is doing yells at the two to get the fuck out and down. Jared and Aussie run as far as the can and get behind cover. Jock does the same covering his ears. The bot enters the code and laughs in a broken yet manic way. Beeping can be heard as it laughs and Jock looks at the two with a "were not gonna make it" look but then Jared gives him a sign of hope saying to "just hide hopefully we should be fine. Soon a hatch opens in front of them and a masked person comes out a waves to the three to come inside quickly. Without hesitating the three all go inside leaving their weapons and most of the gear with only Jared caring the makeshift radio that he was given, Jock grabbing a gun, and Aussie grabbing nothing. As they get inside an explosion can be heard. Rumbling and a few cracking sounds in the hatch area is heard. The person leads them out of the tunnel and soon come across a room that used to be a furnace room. Jared and Aussie sit to to take a break but Jock, being the android he is, starts checking himself and opening his arm panel to see if his systems are working. The person sees Jock doing this and goes up to him, thinking he was about to blow them up just like the other robot did, starts attacking him. Jared and Aussie pull the person off along with its mask be accident. When that person falls and looks at the three revealing its face they are somewhat horrified. Aussie, the one who pulled the mask finally gets why it was is a shape that it was and it was because the person who saved them was a beast of its own. the beast was a tall as the ceiling, hair covering most of its face but more importantly the beast had sharp teeth. It growls at them before speaking in a woman like tone.

"How dare you treat me this way when I saved your lives from a thing like him. Yet you tried to save that thing like if it was your own friend."

"Oi, for your information that thing has a name. Its Jock."

"Well actually my name is Nexus model 001J but yeah I do go by Jock"

"Silence all of you. You humans destroyed mother earth and now you shall pay for what you have done. Any last words?"

"Yeah how the hell do we get ourselves in these situations?"

"Probably cause we get sidetracked a lot."

"Jocks right about that one mate."

"Silence!"

It howls as if to call others are as if it is ready to feast when it gets shot by an arrow. It falls down hitting the floor. The three look at each other confused wondering who did it before a voice calls out to them. "Sorry about all that my friends. My sister here can be a little, well you already know. Jock, Jared, and Aussie from Charlie base. The best of the best scouts, or so we have heard."

"Who are you, how do you know our names?"

"I know everything Jared. Part of the Israeli Army first division first wave of attackers to land on the shore of North Carolina. Aussie a Air force pilot of the Australian army. Crash landed in the forests of Canada. Finally Nexus model 001J, aka Jock. The true original Nexus model later on to be classified as defective." The voice turns out to be a man as he pops out of the shadows bearing a trench coat and wearing normal civilian clothes. He puts his hand up a little to reveal a small hand sized flame and smiles looking down at the three from the scaffolding. "My name is Dr. Albert Heinz, a warlock or witch or whatever you call me. Come come enter through that door. Hurry now before the beast here decides to wake up." Hesitating a little the three enter the door, as they enter it closes on them. Dr. Heinz speaks saying "And now you die here mwahahahaha. Naw I'm joking, up anyways follow the light at the end of the tunnel I'll meet you there." The three do so heading towards the light with Jock going first to illuminate the way with his eyes being used as a flashlight.
