Thnx guys for the reviews! I've decided to put up another little part of the sequel. I'll put up a new poll for what you wanna see. I do not own 9. 9 belongs to Shane Acker. I only own Jess. Enjoy!

We reached the bridge, but we weren't alone. The Machine was right behind us. 6 tried running towards it, but 9 held him back.

"No! They're trapped! They're trapped inside!"

"6, come on!" 7 and 9 dragged him off.

"Get off the bridge." 7 told them. 1 and the twins were already on the other side. I was about at the center of the bridge.

The Machine attacked them, missed, and ended up attacking thew bridge instead. I held on to one of the ropes to keep from falling off. It started falling, but it grabbed a part of the bridge. 7 ran over and tried to use her spear to pull up a loose bolt that was attached to it.

"No! Stop! You mustn't destroy it!" 6 yelled.

"Get away, 6!" 7 said, sounding like she didn't want him to get hurt by the Machine. 9 ran to him. "You mustn't destroy it! Don't destroy it. They're trapped. They're inside. They're inside!"

7 managed to pull up the bolt, and let the Machine fall. It grabbed 6 while this happened. The bridge started to collapse.

"Run!" 7 yelled. We ran off the bridge, jumped, and landed on the other side.

"Go back! To the first room! He'll show you! The source." 6 told us. 7 and I looked away while the Machine sealed 6's fate.

After a moment, 1 decided to speak. "It must be destroyed."

"No. No, we can't. Didn't you hear him? They're trapped inside. We can still save them."

7 was confused. "What? How?"

"We have to find the source. It holds the answer."

"We need to destroy it.''

"But there's still a chance!" The Machine was trying to break itself free.

"We're out of time."

"9. They're gone."

9 looked at the two in disbelief. "You're wrong." And with that, he ran off.

"9!" 7 called after him.

"Let him go." 1 told her.

I thought about going after 9. "Jess...?"

I sighed and said softly, "I'm sorry.'' and ran off after him.

I searched throughout the Emptiness for him, until I found him a few minutes later by the old record player, knelt down by 5's dead body. I sighed and walked over to him.

"9?'' He was silent. "Are you okay?" Still no answer. I started to walk away.

"Why are you here?" He still seemed mad. I turned around.

"Why wouldn't I?" He stood up and looked at me.

"Cause you don't believe 6 and I. You don't think they're trapped in the Machine." I looked at him weird.

"That's the opposite of why I'm here! Besides, I still owed you." He was still upset. "Look, just calm down, ok?"

He sighed and said, "Sorry. I just-"

"I know." He smiled. I smiled back. "Let's go."

This chapter was pretty tough to write for some reason. idk why. Oh, well. Lol. Please read and review!
