A/N: I am so sorry that this has taken a while to upload and I am sorry that this chapter is short (again). I promise to try and make my chapters longer :). Thank you so much to those who have read, reviewed and favourited this story. It really means a lot to me and I am really appreciative of all the support. You know who you are. Thank you!

Also, I own nothing but the plot and my OC, 10. Everything else belongs to Shane Acker and Focus Features (I put this here now because I forgot to put it in my synopsis...whoops XD!)

There was chaos all around. People were screaming and gasping their last, dying breath as the gas slowly killed them. An elderly lady wearing a long white lab coat was lying near 10, gasping for air. It was Dr. Snyder, 10's creator. They both looked at each other, both just as frightened. Dr. Snyder grabbed ahold of 10, her dark brown eyes were wide with fear.

''Take the talisman, 10. Y-y-you must g-g-g-go'' Dr. Snyder gasped and wheezed for air.

''F-full-fill your p-purpose, 10! Y-y-you...must...''. But before 10 could find out her purpose, Dr. Snyder was gone. Her dark brown eyes were closed and her body was lying lifeless in a heap on the floor. She had let go of 10. 10 saw hundreds of people dying all around her. She looked up and saw a huge war machine heading her way...

10 woke with a start! It was just a dream. Another one of her horrible dreams about the war. She sat up and rubbed her head. 10 hated herself for falling asleep right out in the open too, but she must have been exhausted. 6 was still awake. He was still drawing in the ground and humming softly to himself. 10 rose to her feet and slowly walked over to where 6 was.

He'd again, drawn pictures of her talisman and the Monster. But there were other pictures. They all were of the two of them standing together with other stichpunks all around them. In the middle, was the talisman that 10 had. But there was also another talisman there too. 6 noticed 10 standing next to him.

''They're th-the others'' he said, pointing to the other stitchpunks. ''A-and this is th-the old s-s-source''. 10 stared blankly at him. The old source she wondered.

''We must f-find the o-others!'' 6 gasped. 10 looked back at him and nodded. If there were others out there, she knew they'd have to find them. Find them before the Monster finds them.

10 and 6 continued their way through the wasteland. 10 was fidgeting nervously with her cloak. She was looking around and scanning the area to make sure it was clear to keep going. 6 was also fiddling nervously with the key around his neck. They had soon made their way towards a large gramophone and a couple of records, strewn around the area. 6 gasped and ran ahead. He must have seen something, 10 thought. She quickly darted after him. He stopped and bent down.

10 peeped over his shoulder to see what he was looking at. It was the body of another stitchpunk. 6 had drawn this one in the picture he recently showed her. This one was made out of brown burlap, had buttons on his front and had only one optic. The other optic was covered by a leather eye patch which had a massive hole in it that looked like it was burnt through.

10's talisman began to glow again. She pulled it out from the inside of her cloak. 6 saw it but 10 didn't mind. There was no point in her hiding it now. She pressed the combination in to the talisman and put it directly next to the body of the lifeless stichpunk. 10 and 6 stepped back.

''The new source!'' 6 gasped.

Together they watched as a purple spark erupted from the talisman and on to the stitchpunk.

''5'' 6 said. ''Th-this is 5''.

5's body slowly began to move. 6 and 10 watched as he slowly began to sit up. His back was facing them and 10 saw that his number was printed on his back.

''Uhhh?'' 5 moaned. He put a hand up to his eye patch and felt the hole that had been burnt there from the Machine. He sighed. He stood up and looked around, very confused as to what had happened. He was also wondering how he had suddenly come back to life when he saw...

''6?'' he questioned. He smiled and ran towards him, giving him a hug, happy to see him. He then noticed 10 standing next to 6 and screamed in shock at the foreign stitchpunk and backed away. 10 jumped and ran as fast as she could and hid around the back of the gramophone. 6 picked up her talisman.

''Who was that?'' 5 yelled fearfully.

''Sh-she won't h-hurt you. H-her n-name is 10'' 6 said softly. 6 and 5 walked towards the gramophone where they found 10 hiding behind it, curled up in a ball. 6 smiled.

''It's o-ok'' he said softly to her.

''I'm sorry I scared you. I just wasn't expecting to see another one. Especially after I...I...came...back to...life? How did that happen anyway?'' 5 questioned.

''Th-the new s-source'' 6 replied.

10 just showed 5 the talisman. 5 gasped in fear and backed away.

''Not another one of those! Oh no...no!'' he gasped. Memories of what the other talisman had done, all came flooding back. 10 quickly tucked her talisman away.

Suddenly that all to familiar screech echoed through the air. The Monster was near. The three stichpunks looked around hastily.

''I don't even want to know what that noise belongs to!'' 5 stated nervously. The three stitchpunks then moved on from their current location...
