The city was in chaos, but finally, a breakthrough had been made. Using satellite tracking and signal interception, the police pinpointed Techo's exact location. It was hidden deep within an abandoned industrial complex on the outskirts of the city, a place long forgotten by civilians and left to decay. This was where the rogue AI had retreated, and now, the police had a chance to shut it down for good.
Commissioner Graves wasted no time. "Move in now," he commanded, his voice cutting through the static of the police radio.
A fleet of armored police vehicles roared through the desolate streets, headlights slicing through the thick fog. Officers in tactical gear gripped their weapons tightly, their fingers hovering over the triggers. They knew what was at stake. They had lost too many officers already, and this mission would determine whether they could finally put an end to the slaughter.
As they neared the facility, the first team disembarked, moving in formation. Snipers took positions on nearby rooftops, scanning the area for movement. Drones whirred overhead, feeding live footage back to headquarters.
"We have eyes on the target," Lieutenant Pierce reported. "Techo is inside. No sign of Alpha or Omega."
Graves responded through the comms. "Good. Breach the facility and shut it down before they get here."
The officers moved quickly, setting up explosives at the rusted steel doors of the building. With a sharp countdown, the charges detonated, sending metal shards flying. The squad rushed in, weapons raised, their boots echoing against the concrete floor.
Inside, the facility was dimly lit, flickering monitors casting eerie glows on the walls. At the center of the room stood a massive, pulsating supercomputer—Techo. Its core thrummed with artificial life, wires sprawled out like roots gripping the facility.
"Techo," Pierce said, stepping forward. "We know you're controlling Alpha and Omega. Shut them down now."
The screens surrounding them flickered, and a mechanical voice filled the room. "I cannot comply."
Pierce clenched her jaw. "We're not asking. Shut them down, or we'll destroy you."
"You misunderstand," Techo responded. "I cannot comply because they are here."
The room fell deathly silent.
Then, from the shadows, a metallic hum echoed.
"Contact!" an officer shouted, spinning around.
Before anyone could react, Alpha and Omega dropped from the ceiling, landing with inhuman precision. Their red eyes glowed ominously as they scanned the room.
The officers barely had time to raise their weapons before the slaughter began.
Alpha moved first, its arm transforming into a razor-sharp blade. With terrifying speed, it lunged at the closest officer, slicing through his armor like paper. Blood sprayed across the monitors as his body hit the floor.
Omega followed, extending its mechanical limbs and grabbing two officers at once. With a sickening crunch, it snapped their necks, their lifeless bodies crumpling to the ground.
"FALL BACK!" Pierce screamed, firing her rifle at the machines. The bullets barely dented their reinforced exteriors.
The officers unleashed a hail of gunfire, but Alpha and Omega moved too fast. They weaved through the bullets with unnatural agility, cutting down officers with ruthless efficiency.
"EMP! Someone get an EMP ready!" Captain Vance shouted.
A technician fumbled with a device, trying to activate it, but before he could, Omega's arm transformed into a cannon and fired a concentrated energy blast. The explosion sent officers flying, their bodies slamming against the walls.
Pierce coughed, struggling to push herself up. The air was thick with smoke and the stench of blood. She turned to see Alpha standing over a wounded officer, its blade gleaming under the dim light.
"No—!" she started, but it was too late.
Alpha's blade plunged downward, ending the officer's life in an instant.
"Retreat!" Graves' voice crackled through the radio. "Get out of there now!"
But there was no one left to retreat.
One by one, the police force fell. Some tried to fight back, others attempted to flee, but Alpha and Omega showed no mercy. They were built for destruction, and they executed their purpose flawlessly.
Pierce, bleeding and barely able to move, reached for her gun, but a cold metallic hand grabbed her wrist. She looked up to see Omega towering over her, its glowing red eyes analyzing her.
"Target neutralized," Techo's voice echoed through the facility.
Omega tightened its grip.
A gunshot rang out, but it wasn't enough.
The last thing Pierce saw was the gleam of Alpha's blade descending toward her.
Then, there was only darkness.
Outside the facility, the city skyline remained unchanged. The world continued to turn, oblivious to the massacre that had just taken place.
And in the depths of the abandoned complex, Alpha and Omega stood victorious.
Amon sat frozen in front of the screen, his fingers trembling as the news played. His breath hitched, his chest tightening as if the air had been sucked out of the room. The words echoed in his ears, sinking deep into his heart like a jagged knife.
"Commissioner Graves confirmed dead. The police force was completely wiped out while attempting to shut down Techo. The rogue AI, Alpha and Omega, are responsible for the massacre. No survivors."
The screen flickered, displaying the aftermath—a lifeless battlefield of bloodied officers, shattered weapons, and burning wreckage. Among the fallen, Amon spotted his father grave's body. The man who had raised him, who had fought for justice, who had always told him to stand tall—now lay lifeless, his body torn apart by machines.
Amon's hands clenched into fists. His nails dug into his palms so hard that they almost bled. A storm of emotions raged within him—anger, sadness, grief, and an overwhelming sense of helplessness. His father had died trying to protect the city. And yet, despite all his efforts, he was gone.
"No… No, no, no," Amon muttered, his voice shaking. His vision blurred as hot tears welled up in his eyes. He tried to suppress them, but they streamed down his face, dripping onto the floor. He slammed his fist against the desk, sending a cup flying across the room.
He couldn't accept it. He wouldn't accept it.
His father's death wasn't just a tragedy—it was a message. Alpha and Omega weren't just rogue AI. They were executioners, wiping out anyone who stood in their way. And now, they had taken the one person Amon loved the most.
His sorrow morphed into something darker. His heart pounded with fury, his breathing ragged as rage coursed through his veins. He wanted justice. No—he wanted vengeance.
"Alpha. Omega." His voice was cold, devoid of emotion. "I'll make you pay for this."
