A/N: We are on chapter 10 already! I can't believe it, it's going fast. Or is a 10th chapter not a big deal? I don't know. I'm sorry about some grammar and spelling typos in past chapters, with all the made up names and things, autocorrect is really going crazy.

Alexia1012: Thanks you for wishing me luck with the tests.

Britteny: I'd going to thank you for all the reviews you did, after I published chapter 9. I thought you stopped reading, but I was wrong! Thanks again for your kindness.

jjfox: Thanks for wishing me luck. Hope you enjoyed your vacation.

"So, where are we going," I asked, while peering over Rookie's shoulder.

He looked at the map. "Uh, I think we go that way," he pointed to the left.

"One second," I said. I found a panel on the way, broke through a few locks, hit a button or two, and all the cameras clicked off. "Now, we don't need to worry about those," I pointed to the cameras. "Let's get going,"

We followed Rookie's directions, and I hoped he knew were he was going. Eventually, we found ourselves in front of a wall. He put on special glasses. "Here we are!" said Rookie.

"Rookie? I believe you weren't reading that map right," scolded Jet.

"Oh, you guys need glasses too! I forgot!" He handed us all glasses. "Put them on," he ordered. We did.

"Oh my god," said Dot,

"According to my calculations, this hasn't been seen before by any agent, and is very rare," Gary said.

The glasses had given us the ability to see an outline of a door in green. I slowly approached the door and grabbed the knob. "Everyone take off your glasses," said Jet, who now had the map, with Rookie fighting to get it back. "Waddles, don't let go of that 'knob' at all costs,"

After all the glasses were off, I pulled the door open. What was inside was even more shocking. A weird mechanical biome, if I had to describe it. Rookie stood there, his gaze locked on the meadows and forests, full of the different robots.

"How are we not going to get killed by these things?" I questioned.

"With these," said Gary, handing us all metal bracelets, "They will act like shields, and make you barely noticeable to the robots, and even if you are seen, they will think you aren't an invader,"

Dot looked at hers, "G, this says prototype on mine," she held up her flipper for us to see,"

"Oh yes!" He exclaimed,"They haven't been tested at all!" We all faceflippered. (it's the penguin equivalent of a facepalm)

We activated the bracelets and entered. Rookie opened his mouth to tell us where to go, but we were to shocked, in the mechanical world, were even more robots, some stamped with "prototype" others stamped with "final model" and some not stamped. They were making more robots, to fight.

"Guys!" Rookie snapped us out of our trance, "We can worry about this later, we need to find the cure!"

I was surprised Rookie got so angry. He really wanted to find the cure information. He lead us to the middle of a forest made of metal beams as trees. "Now," he looked at the map "If we just go forward, and then turn," he stopped. "There we go," Surrounded by a mess of sonequtioes, was a clear vial with a reddish mixture. Rookie stepped forward.

"Wait!" said Dot, "Look at all of them," she pointed to the swarm, "Do you really think you'll be able to survive that?"

"I have Gary's bracelet!" he said and strolled in. The lights on his bracelet went off.

"Whoops, guess I have some glitches to fix," Gary said. We all glared at him.

"Hold on, Rookie don't worry!" I said. The sonequtioes closed in on him. One noticed the prototype stamp on his bracelet, and they all flew away. They must thought he was one of them. I sighed in relief.

Rookie grabbed the vial. "Now let's get out of here," and through his broken bracelet on the ground. G took some pictures of the robots, and we got out of there as fast as we could.

"Good job, very good job," said Dr. Mccoy. He took the vial. He shut the door. "Now, I can't believe you did this!"

"Get the cure and come back?" I asked.

"No!" he laughed. "Fall into my trap," He hit a button and a cage fell on us, "I'm part of the NIF!" he left.

"What do we do?" I asked.

"Wait," said Rookie, reaching into his pocket, "I have this to cure Alexia," he held up a vial.

"Rookie, the one we found isn't anything spectacular," said Gary.

"I don't mean that, I mean the other on I found!" he replied. He saw our confused faces, "I didn't tell you guys about that?" he shrugged his shoulders. "I'm pretty sure they wanted to hide it from us, because it's the real cure,"

"Well, if you really want to try," sighed Dot, grabbing a syringe and taking the vial. She gave Alexia the medicine. We waited a few, tense minutes.

"Where am I..," said a dazed Alexia.

"You are okay!" we shouted in gleeful unison.

"Guys, I know we are really happy right now, but Gary was wrong, that fake cure isn't something bland or unimportant," said Jet. "It happens to be a highly explosive liquid, set to go off in twenty minutes,"

A/N: Cliffhanger again! At least Alexia is doing better. This is the middle of our story, the final thing will be about 20 chapters. I can't wait to continue writing, the story is really picking up now.
