"I think we should take a bit of break."

9, 7, 5 and 11 were helping the young couple: 72 and 27. It was far from their home but it was worth the help. Even with the surprise with 12. 72 believe there might be more who are alive somehow as well. She asked if four of them would look for others as well.

"I think my legs are ready to break."

5 said in joking even if they were tired at the moment. 9 lay on the ground from their long walk. 7 set her spear next to her, leaving her helmet on. 11 sat next to 5 a little worn out. "Do you think machines are still out here as well?" 9 asked in curiosity.

"Maybe, remember that machine was the cause of the machine anyway."

7 reminded him what happen all those years ago.

"Don't remind me…" 9 still fault guilty about what he had done in the past about awaking the machine. But he noticed 11 and 5 were laughing among themselves.

"11? Is this the first time you're meeting your mother?"

"9!" 5 nearly yelled at him but 11 only saw her in dreams, but she this was a first for her to meet someone who she didn't know about till now.

"It nice…I think my father-never mind.

" Everyone look at 11 like she was happy to see her as well. She was the only who had a family and one of her own. "I think it nice, I guess you can tell her about…you know."

"Oh yeah, your nightmares."

11's nightmares started to come back only a month after 12's return. 11 could see the machines coming, killing the ones she loved, seeing the same deaths, everything was so real to her in those dreams.

"Well…."

"11, we told you not push yourself."

11 was a bit tried, but she was trying her best to hide it. But, she was scared of closing her eyes again to that world of horror and endless screaming. She was scared enough in her life time.

"5...there nothing to worry about."

When 11 said that a Cat Beast came out of nowhere and started to attack them. But, 9 was right, there were machines still out here. 7 took her spear ready to cut off it's head like in the past. Before 7 could get a chance to attack it. It started to head for 5 and 11. It was read y to lash out at 5 with one of it's claw.

"5!"

11 pushed 5 out of the way till hit her, sending her causing to hit her head till she was suddenly in darkness. 7 was on top of the machine and cut it's head off it's body. When she was on the ground with 9, 5 ran to 11 seeing if she was okay.

"11? Are You Alright?"

She didn't reply to him. Her eyes were closed, her body didn't move either.

"11?"

5 was shaking, 11 wasn't responding to them. 9 was getting worry as well, 7 was a sister to her, she was scared if her sister was gone. 5 checked if 11 was alive, hoping he didn't lose her.

"She's still alive…but…she isn't…"

5 was shaking harder then before, 9 placed a hand on his shoulder. 5 wasn't calm. He was scared he was going to lose his love.

"You What? 1!"

"If you went through the same thing I did, you would the same."

"Still 1..."

1 was telling his wife about the event after her death, she was a little about set what 1 did to their daughter in the past. But, 12 was able to forgive him.

"But, you were right at the end…there was a last hope."

12 smiled at him, she used to say that to everyone she meet but 1 took it to the heart at the time. But, sometime 12 wished she could turn back time just to be with 1 rising 11 at that time.

"2!"

1 and 12 heard 9's voice coming from the entrances of their home.

2 heard 9's voice from outside of the workshop, he noticed 5 holding 11 in his arms. 5's face was filled fear and worry. This was like the time 11 was trap inside of that room for days. He couldn't let that happen to her again.

"Bring her here."

5 walked into the workshop setting her down one of the beds. 11 was still the same when he set her down. 2 took sometime to see what was wrong with 11. She didn't move when 2 trap her a few times.

"Oh my…."

"What?" 5 started to get panicky when 1 and 12 walked in. 2 was about to speak when he saw 12. 2 was so busy in the workshop these day

"Umm…1? Who is-"

"12, my wife?"

2 cough a little, he didn't think 1 would find someone that beautiful like 12. But, he was a surprised about 12 being alive all of a sudden. But, he was getting off track a bit.

"Well…it seem that 11 can't wake."

5 was getting worry when 2 said that. 11 was able to wake up easy even when her nightmares getting worst.

"But…1, you said 11 was awake at the time when you and 12 were together?"

"Right, 11 wasn't even awake then."

"Hmmm…7, would get 72 and 27 for me. I need to ask them about this."

11 woke up in darkness and mist. She was freezing, her gears weren't working right, she could feel them hurting her, her soul was aching as well. She was confused where she was.

"5.…7.…9...?" She wasn't sure where or how she got here. But she remember how a Cat Beast attacked them, but she was sure that she was in the emptiness.

"Dad….mom…?" Her voice was breaking, all she could was whimper.
