Come break me down,

Bury me, Bury me,

I am finished with you,

Look in my eyes,

You're killing me,

Killing me,

All I wanted was you,

Marron was sleeping soundly on her bed. She had a dream that would later turn into a nightmare.

DREAM

Marron had spotted the younger Marron again.

"Marron, what are you trying to tell me?" The older Marron asked.

"What you're gonna be in your new life?" The younger one answered then disappeared.

Once again, Marron was looking for her younger self, suddenly, a hand painfully grabbed her shoulder and she turned her head around to see the same old man who had spoke to the android version of her.

"Hello, my darling." He said sinisterly.

"Who the hell are you, you old coot?" Marron yelled.

Marron felt a hand slapping her face painfully.

"You should treat your elders more respectfully. But anyways, have you ever heard of the name Dr. Gero?" He asked.

Marron was told by her mother that she and 17 were forcefully converted into androids, but 18 never said who did it, although Marron did hear the name once or twice.

"Yeah, I did but..." Marron finally put together the pieces.

"YOU WERE THE ONE WHO KIDNAPPED MY MOTHER AND UNCLE AND TURNED THEM INTO ANDROIDS DIDN'T YOU?" Marron yelled.

"That I did, my dear. And you are next in line. Only you will be a success." Gero stated before he pressed a cloth to Marron's face before she was knocked out by it's strong smell.

Marron woke up on a lab table.

"You awoke, now you will see what I will do to make you my next creation." He chuckled as he grabbed a knife and started cutting through her chest. Marron couldn't get up as she was strapped down and screamed in pain.

END DREAM

Marron woke up.

That's it. No more candy before bed. She thought to herself.

Marron got up and put on a pair of edgy jean shorts that had been written and doodled on along with a black and green short sleeved baseball tee with a biohazard symbol on it. She also put on her comfortable purple skull socks and putting on black converses with red laces with fingerless gloves on. She left her hair loose and parted it to the side so her hair looked emo/scenester- like. She put on her eye make up and headed for the door when her parents greeted her.

"Where you goin'?" 18 asked.

"I don't know, maybe to Bra's or Pan's. I had a nightmare and I want to clear my head." Marron answered.

"Okay, just don't break curfew and be safe." Krillin said.

"Have I ever broken curfew dad?" Marron asked. She knew her dad meant well by saying that but she never broke curfew.

Probably those dreams again. She thought.

"And that's why I've been training. It's not like there's some mad scientist wanting me for some crazy-ass purpose."

"Okay, bye." Krillin and 18 both said as Marron headed out for the door.

Unbeknownst to them, an invisible camera was watching them.

"I wouldn't be too sure about that, sweetheart." Gero chuckled.

Marron, Bra, and Pan met outside of Capsule Corp. Marron told them of her nightmare. Bra thought up of an idea.

"Let's go pull a prank on your uncle." Bra said.

Marron hated pulling pranks on her uncle as the outcome was always the same. 17 would try to catch the girls by running after them, but would only punish Marron even though sometimes she didn't have a hand in it.

Oh well, at least it'll take my mind off that nightmare. She thought as Bra and Pan concocted their plans.

Bra and Pan had stepped back, proud of their "Ultimate Plan to Prank 17" while Marron's look stayed the same.

"Alright. We will draw hipster glasses around your uncle's eyes, and we take pictures of him and us while he's sleeping. Then we put shaving cream on his hand and tickle his nose." Bra stated.

"Why are all his underwear stapled to the outside of his cabin?" Marron asked.

"For decoration of course." Pan chuckled.

The three of them entered 17's cabin bringing a marker, shaving cream, and a feather with them. First, they started drawing hipster glasses on his face while he was sleeping, then they took funny pictures of him with them on their cellphones. Second, Marron had to place a big dollop of shaving cream on the palm of his hand while tickling his nose with the feather. By the time they escaped, 17 could not tolerate the tickle on his nose anymore so he moved his hand covered in shaving cream to itch it, only to get a faceful of shaving cream. Apparently, 17 wasn't happy.

"OKAY, WHO TICKLED MY NOSE TO GIVE ME A FACEFUL OF THAT FUCKING SHAVING CREAM?" 17 yelled while finding out about the drawn hipster glasses on his face.

"AND DREW FREAKING HIPSTER GLASSES ON MY FACE?"

17 got out of his cabin to find all of his underwear stapled to the cabin

"AND STAPLED EVERY LAST DAMN PAIR OF MY UNDERWEAR OUTSIDE OF MY CABIN?"

To Marron, that tone was scarier than a ghost howl. She, Pan, and Bra ran as fast as they could, but 17 was just too fast to outrun.

"GET YOUR ASSES BACK HERE!" 17 shouted chasing after the girls.

"Lets split up." Bra said.

"Good idea." Pan said.

Marron ran her own way down looking back once in a while. All of a sudden, while she wasn't looking, she ran into someone. Marron took a good look at the person she ran into.

It was none other than the old man she saw in her dreams: Dr. Gero!

"Hello darling." He sneered as he grabbed Marron by her arms.

"HELP" Marron screamed.

Now that the dreaded Dr. Gero has found Marron, will her friends and uncle save her in time? Find out on the next chapter of Rise of Android 22!
