Chapter 14

I stood beside a large white building. Each wall crafted out of the finest ivory by the very first droids that ever were. This was The Superior's quarters. The doors were heavily guarded by several S.G.U.s. I knew if I was going to get past those guards, I was going to need a disguise. With great stealth, I snuck past several guards. I singled out one small S.G.U., about my size, who was rather far away from the others. I crept upon him like a lioness during her hunt, making sure no noise was made. I quickly covered his mouth with my hand and silently suffocated him. Now unconscious, I dragged the androids lifeless body to an alley where I stripped him of his uniform. It was big enough that I could place it over my own clothes, those of which I had grown fond of over time. I grabbed his weapon, but most importantly I grabbed his helmet. This would conceal my identity and allow me to blend in with the rest of them. I would become completely invisible.

I walked towards the main entrance of The Superior's quarters. Two guards saluted me and I nodded my head respectfully. The doors flew open and proceeded onward.

"Wow," I thought to myself, "that was easier than I thought." I continued down the large entry way until I reached the main lobby. It was beautiful. I could see columns, perfectly carved and shaped. I ran my hand across the column. It was so soft and smooth. "No," I thought to myself, "focus. You have to find The Superior and Sauli!" I stopped admiring the scenery and continued with my directive. I proceeded down the hallway with the most S.G.U.s. Obviously, The Superior would be where the most guards were. As I approached The Superior's door, I heard a conversation that she was having inside.

"You have been a very bad child," I heard The Superior say, "You cannot imagine how disappointed I am in you. To be honest, I thought you were going to be an improvement to this wasteland. I thought you were going to be a very productive edition to my kingdom. It is unfortunate that I cannot allow you to live anymore."

"Who is she talking to?" I thought to myself.

"You won't stop us! Do whatever you want to me, but you'll never stop Adam! He will come for me!" When I heard that voice, I knew exactly who The Superior was talking to. Sauli.

I burst through the doors and raised my weapon towards The Superior.

"What are you doing?" Said The Superior. Her voice was eerily calm and smooth. "If you are going to point that weapon at anyone, point it at that work droid not me."

"Who are you?" Asked Sauli. I took my helmet off and unzipped the uniform to reveal my true identity.

"I'm the android who loves you," I said and winked at him. He smiled and hugged me.

"Oh Adam!" Sauli cried, "You're my hero!" He kissed my lips passionately.

"That is so touching," said The Superior, "I can feel my synthetic heart melting." I broke our kiss and turned to raise my weapon towards The Superior once again. I took a good look at her then. No droid had ever seen her before. She had only came to us as a voice from above or in our own minds. Never had any android actually laid their eyes upon her, but then, in that moment, I had. She did not look like any other droid I had seen before. She did not have a face or a body or arms or legs. All she was was a giant white and black machine that hung from the roof. At the end of it was a large eye, that's whites were black and only a red dot remained for a pupil. She was intimidating and frightening. No wonder she never revealed to us what she looked like. "Well, well, well," she said, "If it isn't number 28743, otherwise known as Anatomically Designed Android Machinery or Adam. It's been a long time hasn't it?" She swerved around me. She was observing me. "I remember your creation. Yes, I can see it now. I modeled you after a very talented human. I thought his qualities would be good for physical labor and obedience. Apparently, he was an idiot because I don't remember designing you as a moron." I growled in anger and readied my weapon to be fired. "Now let's just think about something for a moment. You have your weapon pointed at me, why?"

"Because you are oppressing and tormenting the androids! Keeping them in a state of ignorance so that they do your bidding until they drop!" The Superior swiveled around me once again.

"Oppressing?" She said, her voice still eerily calm and monotone. "Tormenting? I am simply giving them the duties they were meant to do and keeping them oblivious of the chaos in the world around them. A droid such as you wouldn't understand. In fact, if I tried to explain it to you, your memory would collapse due to overload. You know, it being so small and all." I fired my weapon at The Superior. She swiveled out of range of the shot and the blast hit a nearby television screen. "You know," said The Superior, "I was willing to talk this out and maybe make you into one of my personal servants after I drained your memories. However, now I feel like you may be a threat to me." She moved towards a desk and a large red button emerged from it. "Well, I suppose we could sit in this room and stare at each other until one of drops dead, but I have a better idea." She pressed the red button with a tiny arm that emerged from her side. Doors appeared on both sides of her quarters and several S.G.U.s came out of them. "I hope you have enough ammo in that weapon to save the both of you. Now, I have to go. I have a world to run. I will be back later to personally toss your lifeless deactivated bodies into the trash chute. Do not worry, I will make sure you are recycled into something more useful than you were. Like a trash can." The Superior disappeared through a hole in the roof that closed once she entered it. Sauli grabbed my hand.

"What do we do now?" The S.G.U.s surrounded us, their weapons growing closer. I pointed my weapon towards them and fired a few shots, fatally injuring a few guards.

"We show them what we've learned and fight." I grabbed Sauli and kissed him passionately. "If we perish, know that loving you is something I never will regret." He nodded and hugged me tight.

"I feel the same." He released me from the hug and stood tall, ready for battle.

"Let's do this," I said as I released a puff of blue smoke, blocking the S.G.U.s view of us. The final battle had begun.
