Chapter 11
Boros waited.
He managed to hack into security cameras on site of the lab, he even managed to get into it without being detected thus far. However, as a precaution, he used a whole different computer system that was off grid from the association, if someone or something managed to infiltrate this device, it can easily be destroyed and ensure the hacker goes no farther. "So, what am I doing?" Max asked again with great confusion.
"I already sent the message out to mother figure's robot Bofoi, it should be here soon…"
The door opened to the war room, Bofoi arrived with one of Metal Knight's battle robots. "Device 2045 is ready" Bofoi announced.
"Thank you, you are dismissed."
Once the droid left the room, Max found himself staring at the monstrous hunk of metal. "How… do you expect me to control this!?" he demanded.
"Simple really, electronic waves." Boros said. "Electrocute the robot, put a good surge into it, and yet keep yourself attached to the machine in doing so. Better still, use your tentacles to achieve a connection."
Max was uncertain, yet he did what was asked. He took out two of the tentacles and latched them onto the sides of the robot after moving in behind it. There he sent a surge through. The robot twitched and powered on as Max finished the infusion. He was breathless to the task. "Okay… now what?" he asked as he caught his wind.
Boros smiled. "Release it and think of it moving."
It only brought about greater confusion but Max did as he was told, he stared at the robot when suddenly it began to move! It turned around and looked down at him. "How…"
"Your electricity is like life blood to machinery. You have infused your own power into it, making you its pilot in a sense. Now, the important part. I need you to run the distraction…" Boros turned back to the screen, he monitored the tracking chip in Bun-Bun before giving the nod. "Go now, and cause a scene. Just be warned, there are others in the building, Genus has arrived and did not go alone."
With a nod Max turned to the robot. "Follow me out and let's do this!" Just as he was about to leave, he froze. "Wait, how can I control it if I can't see what's going on?"
Boros rolled his eye. "You are connected to it, use the electricity in the fiber optics to see through them, that is electrical base, you can read that, can you not?"
"Huh?"
"Very well, it appears we are going to be learning something new, outside, we cannot waste time!" he announced. "I also don't know how long you can control this thing on the charge given."

"So… Bub-Bun is it?"
"Yeah! What of it Saitama?"
"Nothing, just curious… you don't look like a robot"
"Thanks!"
"Master, ahead!" stated Genos.
The warehouse was within sight, the three came to a pause as Bun-Bun took in her surroundings. "It appears clear, but we are not to go in until the distraction is offered. But, I best be getting to my position. You two going to be okay?" she asked.
"Master and I are more than capable. You best be concerned about yourself, this is your first mission is it not?" asked Genos.
She laughed. "Yeah, it is… it's exciting!" with that, Bun-Bun made her way around to the other side. She kept hidden for the time being, yet paused as she found a hole already torn in the wall. "Looks like someone started the party without us!" Curious now, she went in, all over the floor and walls laid monster parts and gore of test subjects. She turned on her communicator in the collar around her neck. "Yeah, we got company, someone beat us here." She warned.

Inside…
He was the favorite, that was certain in his mind. Why else would 106 call him Favo? Despite the name not being the most appealing, he was the only clone in the legions to have one. Therefore it was a name to be proud of.
Master called upon him just before his departure. "I will be leaving now. I do ask of you for one thing…"
"Anything master!"
106 smiled. "We have moved all test subjects?"
"We have the moment the Brawlers awoken, we moved all viable clones."
"Good, and for the Brawler's themselves?"
"We have the contingency plan in place. If they do not kill Melee and Garou, the injection will be given to the human monster and his mate."
"That's all I ask, ensure the serum is loaded and ready to be administered. I don't want any mistakes, understood!"
"Yes Master… and for the children?"
106 sighed. "They grew cleaver to say the least. The children are not going to come to save their parents, we have picked up energy signatures, only one is human… yet they are sending in robots and cyborgs to rescue them."
Favo paused. "This is not like them. The children would pool their strength to come and save their parents would they not?"
"Indeed, and this isn't the work of the three martial artists, this is too thought out of a plan, a strategy no less from one who has seen battle like this… this family is holding out on us…" 106 sighed. "It matters not anyway, we have learned from this and will try again, for now, the important factor is this. We rid ourselves of Garou and Melee, we continue on as plan with the other studies."
"Yes Master, I will not fail you!"
"See that you don't…" with that, 106 left the warehouse, leaving Favo in charge. He was quick to go to the security room, where he was able to observe the events of the room. Something strange was happening. The Neo heroes were on their knees, Bad and Zombieman too! They surrendered! "Highly unusual… I wonder what this is about?" he muttered.
Curiosity got the better of him as he went to the room. There he saw the Brawlers standing over Melee and Garou. Yet, there was a strange look on their faces. They appeared confused.
"Gentlemen… have you finished the task?" Favo asked.
The brothers began to stare at him oddly. "We got an issue here… you ain't the Doc are you?"
"No, but his assistant to say the least… what's the problem?"
Street stared down at Melee and Garou. "These two… ain't acting like monsters." He said. "Dad taught us all we know about them, and they are not fitting the description to say the least. Also… Why the hell are heroes here to save them?" he demanded.
Favo stared down at the Neo Heroes and Zombieman who were on their knees with their hands behind their backs. "Strange thing is, we were about to fight them off… when one of them shouted for the others to stop and surrender…" said Street. "Why surrender when they outnumbered us?"
Knuckle then got this crazed smirk on his lips. "You know… we got these memories rattling off in our brain here. We got some of these two being the monsters we were told about, they the one that looked like sis killed her and took her body… But then, we got this other memory… of her being a lot like how I remember sis to be. A caring, young woman with a family of her own, and yet became this… in order for her life to be saved."
Favo froze to the news, how could the mind wipe wear off!
"So… that brings us to this…" said Street. "Who do we trust?"
