As Max is held twenty eight feet in the air by a large mechanical robot. Its dome shaped head turns towards him and begins emitting a female voice, its eyes flashing in sync to it.
"It's so good to see you again Max, how do you like my new invention?"
"Could be better Vivian."
"I made it just for you. Aren't you happy to receive such a gift?"
"Oh yeah, a murderous robot that wants to kill me and only me. How did I get so lucky?!"
"I couldn't have said it better myself! Max Dorkins!"
Suddenly the robot's hand began to clasp a little tighter. Max's body began to feel breathless as it began slowly squeezing the air from him.
"Come now Vivian, how long has it been? D-Do we really need to keep doing this?"
This thing is really going to kill me, she's actually going to kill me! This is on several different levels from the other times!
"You deserve every bit of it!"
From below a faint voice could be heard, as Max looks to the ground he sees Josh shouting something.
"W-What?!"
Vivian feels a sudden anger from being ignored. Causing the robot to start squeezing a little more.
"That was quite rude! I was talking to you!"
"Needy as... Ever!"
Max's body was on fire as the cold steel trapped him tightly.
Once again Josh shouted this time louder than before. This allowed Max to hear it.
"Fight back already!"
Max's face went blank again, like he just heard the dumbest thing ever.
"What the hell do you expect me to do against this thing!"
Josh shrugged again and walked back into the coffee shop. As he walked in he found himself standing face to face with the once unconsious woman.
"Oh, you're awake, are you okay beautiful?"
Josh got close to a standing Emma, as he reached to place his hand on her shoulder a sudden grip to his black jacket and undershirt caused him to space for a moment's notice. Before snapping back to his senses and realizing he was on the floor.
"Note to self, I now have a thing for strong women."
Emma straightened herself out and turned towards the giant hole. She remained quiet and advanced towards it.
"Any last words Max?!"
"Yeah actually! I've got a lot to look forward to so you should let me go!"
"You want me to let you go?"
"Y-Yes please!"
"Are you sure that's what you want?"
"M-More than anything!"
"Well since you asked so nicely."
Suddenly the robot's grip opened and Max's face went blank.
"Right, should've been more specific." Max shouted as he began falling rapidly, screaming like a schoolgirl as he's about to die.
"I really don't want to die yet! Someone help me!"
As he rapidly neared the ground, he could hear Vivian laughing from her robot.
"Guess you aren't going to get to see your precious dream come to reality! Goodbye Max!"
It was only a matter of seconds before Max hit the ground, as his body neared the ground he scrunched his eyes shut. Keeping them shut even after the rapid winds from falling stopped, taking his time to register that he had suddenly stopped falling.
"A-Am I dead?"
Max slowly opened his eyes to see he had been caught.
"E-Emma?!"
Max looked around at the situation as he was in Emma's arms unexpectedly.
"W-What's happening?! I'm so confused right now!"
Max looked at her face and noticed an even more confusing aspect of it all.
"A-Are you asleep?!"
Without a second of hesitation, Emma dropped Max to the ground and turned towards the giant robot. As Vivian could be heard screaming from it.
"Why does nothing ever go my way! Seriously! Every time! Why does he survive every time!"
The robot points at Emma with its long cold steel claw.
"You're going to pay for getting in my way!"
Emma picked up the nearby piece of building by her feet. It was a pointed piece of the roof, and a decently baseball sized chunk of concrete almost shaped like a sledgehammer. As she places them into her art bag she rushes off towards the feet of the robot.
"You're not the brightest are you! Going for the feet is the same as saying you have a death wish!"
Vivian raises the robot's right foot as Emma closes in on it. Then as Vivian goes to stomp on Emma, Emma quickly rolls diagonally out of the way towards the left foot. Hopping onto it before she could use it. With the timing of the right foot still landing it gave her plenty of time to begin ascending the awkwardly built robot.
As Emma climbs the robot, Max is approached by Josh hastily.
"You alright Max?"
"Don't think I forgot."
Max stares into Josh's eyes with malicious energy.
Josh laughs nervously as helps Max off the ground.
"So um, care to explain what's happening here?"
"Hell, I don't even know. This is nothing compared to how she was ten minutes ago."
"Wait, you know this chick?"
"She's the teams new artist, you'd know that if you showed up for work."
"Ohhhh, the late intern! I didn't know it was a girl. You shoulda told me!"
"If you came to the meetings you'd have known yourself."
Josh breaks into a thinking pose.
"Fair point, fair point. But, what kinda artist starts fighting death robots? This is like something out of a comic book."
"It's almost exactly like a comic book if anything."
Max and Josh watched as Emma reached the body of the robot. But as she positioned herself, the robot swung at its own body, causing Emma to jump off and the robot to knock itself back a few steps. As Vivian readjusts the robot, she loses sight of Emma. But Max and Josh instantly spot her.
As Emma is seen running up the robots left arm, she pulls out the piece of jagged roof and makeshift sledgehammer. Emma begins nearing the right shoulder of the robot the exact moment Vivian spots her. With violent movement of the arm, Emma quickly smashes the makeshift sledgehammer into the robot's arm, repeatedly. Making a dent in the metal as she hits it a few more times, she quickly creates a handle for herself to hold onto.
"Get off already! You annoying woman!"
The robot's shaking becomes less violent and instead once again attacks itself. As the robot slapped its arm where Emma held her position, it swatted down like it was hitting a fly.
Vivian chuckled out loud evilly.
"That'll teach you to mess with me and my Max!"
From below Max shouted at the robot.
"I'm not yours!"
Josh leaned onto Max's shoulder with a smirk on his face, pointing up at the robot that was looking down on them.
"You best believe it, Max here is a free man! He doesn't need his Ex to keep prying back into his life! Buzz off Vivian!"
As the robot's left hand raised its fist, Emma could be seen running down the robot's right arm but Vivian was too distracted by Josh and Max to notice her. Allowing her to descend and leap onto the dome head of the robot. Instantly blocking Vivian's view.
"Gah! Where did you come from, you pest!"
With the remaining concrete piece Emma begins smashing the six eyes of the robot's face. Obstructing Vivian's view, then with a quick swift ascension to the top of the head. Emma finds a square plate on the top of it. Hastily jamming the roof piece into the lining to pry it open. As the piece of roof breaks, the hatch also opens revealing a jumble of wiring.
Before Emma could start ripping wires, a sudden left fist came flying at the robot's own head. Emma with her instincts quickly leaped from the head at the incoming fist.
"Oh now that's a wild play!"
"Josh this isn't a game! She's going to get herself killed!"
"She's fighting a giant robot Max! I think we're a bit past the getting killed part!"
"What does that even mean!"
"What do you think?!"
"I don't know!"
As Josh and Max lock back onto the action. They watch as Emma takes off her bag and holds onto it leaving the strap to wave openly. As she falls she whips it towards a piece of the robot's body and the strap grabs hold quickly. Yanking her into a swinging motion towards the body. As she quickly grabs hold of things that work as handles, the robot's punch to its own face bashed open its head more and quickly sent it flying onto its back. It's body sliding across the road.
It goes quiet, the robot stops moving and Vivian's voice could no longer be heard.
"D-Did it break itself?!"
"No, it just decided to stop working. What do you think?"
Josh stood in awe at the visual he just witnessed. As Max looked at him with dumbfounded eyes.
Max quickly rushed to the robot to get a glimpse of Emma. As he locked his eyes onto her she stood up and looked around, but something was different.
"W-W-What is this?! Why am I up here!! Someone get me d-down please! But don't look at me!"
"S-She's back to normal? What the hell is this woman?!"
