The small machines scattered across the factory and the outside as 0 kept on making more of them, "In just a few days I'll have a fine army."
The evil stitchpunk didn't have to look up as he heard the slithering of the Seamstress returning from the hunt. "I hope you got a good kick out of hunting..." 0 chuckled at the snake like beast. 86 and 18 slowly sneaked inside a can not too far from it. "There he is..." 86 growled, "How are you going to get 68 and 21 out of that thing?" he whispered to 18.
He looked around, trying to think up something. He noticed a piece of cloth with holes and grabbed it, an idea formulating inside his mind.
The Seamstress' body regurgitated and, in its own way, spat out 68 and 21. 0 chuckled seeing his big sister figure 21 for he was really disappointed with her for choosing 59 and not him, his back facing them as the Seamstress bowed, giving its offering to its master. "You came back with prey unlike your predecessor... Well done..." "Ah 68, becoming so beautiful and so graceful like 21." he told her as he scratched her eye as she cried with fear of 0 and then 21 spoke up "Leave her alone 0!" "Its me you want not 68 , so please leave her out of this!" 21 told 0 angrily as 0 went to her.
"You were so foolish to choose 59 and not me 21 but soon you'll be all mine and not that cyclops's." he told her angrily but 21 knows there's still good in 0 and she will never give up on him.
"Hurry..." 86 gasped seeing 0 hurt his sister's eye, waiting for instructions. After a few quick thoughts, 18 began to wrap the fabric over his light staff. "Just go with your part of the plan..." he tied the fabric on place and looked around, picking up some strong rope and a screw. "I have an idea..." 86 nodded, "Good luck, 18..." with that he snuck out of the can, quickly sneaking away and near the fabrication machine. Right were 0 could see him, he gulped. This was it... he had to distract 0 so 18 could rescue his sister and friend. "H-HEY!"
The Seamstress screeched in surprise, about to attack as one of the machine's long metal arms, "I know that voice..." 0 muttered before he turned to face the source of the voice, "Mr 86..." a sickening grin greeted him
"86!" 21 gasped once she saw him alongside 68. "W-what is he doing here...?!" she told herself.
"T-that's right..." he growled, holding up his sword. 86 looked back at the can quickly to see 18 sneak past everyone's gaze. 'Oh creator, please work...'
"Such a brave man you are, coming here..." his whole being loomed above him, his feet never touched the ground as the cables held him like a hovering ghost of the past. "All alone... No one to aid you in your time of need..." 0 flicked his hand before gently caressing his face, "You look handsome..."
86 froze, tightening his grip on his sword. He slapped his hand away. "Don't touch me..." he muttered sternly.
"Feisty as always..." 0 examined his body, back and front, "Not to mention handsome, I'm glad 95 didn't break your heart ," he chuckled.
That comment made his 'blood' boil when 0 insulted 95; he tightened his grip again, glaring icy daggers. "Yes... so nice to see you not hurt at all..." he spat, his voice dripping in sarcasm.
"I would have made this machine fix me up, but I kind of like it. It reminds me that our species aren't to be taken lightly. Full of unexpected surprises... So tell me... Have you come here to finish me off... or to join me so I can spare their lives?" 0's face was so close to his he could see the mechanisms working under his ripped burlap skin.
86 gulped, glaring slightly. 'Please hurry, 18' he pleaded in his head. "Just let them go..." he growled.
"Why give up squealing game? Your sister is my new pet's prey; I should let it play with its new toy before I suck out her very soul." "And also soon 21 will become my queen forever."
86 backed away slightly and was scared for his sister and 21, He forced himself to smirk, "What?...you don't want me to fight for it?"
"If I ever learned something from our last conversation is to never underestimate you." 86's copper fingers held his face, making sure he wouldn't dare to move, "Such a handsome little face, and yet it causes so much trouble."
86 stayed perfectly still, a blush of anger rising on his face. If he moved, his copper fingers would cut him. He just tightened his hold on his sword and held his breath.
"Hmm... Not answering your old friend..." his face grew closer to his, his tongue flickering like a lizard's. "You're hiding something... And I know it..." he scratched his cheek. "Tell me, Mr 86... "How is your girlfriend with the scar on her leg?"
86 shivered with a grimace, he tried to gently back away but he felt his other hand wrap around his neck, copper fingers hurting his neck. "T-that's none of your business..."
"I bet she's still traumatized for her almost having her leg butchered. She should be for all the trauma she had when i was still alive..." 0 chuckled, "That girl tried to save me from that cat beast, from what I remember..."
86's eyes widened slightly, "W-what?!"
0 chuckled, "You didn't know? She tried to save me from the cat beast and almost got her leg cut off to save me. She kept screaming at the pain that was coming for her and nearly died but she didn't because you saved her life and thats how she fell in love with you..." he pointed at 86.
86 looked at him in shock; he squirmed a little in his fingers, at least this bought 18 some extra time.
