"Aaron!" Kate and Humphrey sad as they hugged him Erik looked over and saw Lilly and Carlos.
"Guys!" They also hugged. Sebastian looked up and saw the band. Great, more humans…
"Aren't you guys that band… 'My Chemical Romance'?" Dr. Jack asked. They nodded.
"We came to help you guys." Gerard said with a smile as they sat down.
"And who's this?" Sebastian asked as he motioned to A Wolf's Nightmare.
"That's A Wolf's Nightmare. He was wrongly accused of being the person behind this."
"I came to help you guys a lot. I know all of Grey Mann's secrets."
"You're close to him, aren't you?" Kate asked, curious.
"You can say that. He's my rat-stink brother…" He said with anger. Everyone nodded.
"You don't have to talk about brothers… we know a lot…" Aaron said, referring to the Devil and Death fiasco.
"Oh, right. Death needs more minions…" Humphrey said as he remembered.
"Death needs more minions? I think we've said a few times before, but we didn't know what it meant." Ray said.
"It's a long story. Better if we tell you later." Hutch then noticed the collar on Aaron's neck.
"What's that?" He asked pointing to the collar.
"It's a shock collar. It shocks me every time I use a curse word. I think it's fucking stupid…" He then wasn't shocked but an electrical shock came out of his paw and hit Carlos.
"Oww!" Carlos said as he rubbed his tail in pain.
"That's not important. Right now we need help. Wolf, can you tell us anything about Grey Mann?" Humphrey asked he thought for a minute.
"Well, you can't kill him."
"Why, he's immortal?"
"No, he died and made a deal with the Devil. When he rose from the grave he was unkillable. That's what he told me…"
"So we need to talk to the Devil." Erik suggested. They then heard metallic footsteps coming from the river. They looked out the window and saw robots coming out of the water.
"We have to go…" Humphrey said as they held on and left in a flash of light. They then materialized in a factory. The lights were off and they couldn't see anything.
"Who turned off the lights?" Aaron asked. They looked on the walls for the lights. So far, no luck.
That was until Mikey found it and turned the whole factory on. What they saw wasn't pretty. Dead bodies and robot parts scattered on the floor.
"Oh, sick…" Carlos said as he felt like throwing up. For a second time, Sebastian felt like fainting.
Hutch looked around and then came up with an idea. This was a factory with big machines and everything. Maybe, just maybe…
"Hey Aaron. You're good with robots right?" Hutch asked as he nodded.
"And Dr. Jack, you too and I'm assuming Mr. Jones too?"
They nodded.
"We majored in robotics when we were in collage." Mikey said as the rest of the band agreed.
"I can create robots out of scrap." A Wolf's Nightmare said.
"Then let us make some robot suits…"
"Huh?" Everyone said. They were confused at his plan. They needed explanation.
"Think about it. If we have robot suits, we can beat more robot ass. And there's enough here to build us a few suits."
"But not enough for all of us." Gerard informed them. They then heard metallic stomping outside. Humphrey went to the door and opened it slightly.
There were robots there. A lot of them. They were patrolling to see if anyone got in their way.
Humphrey looked and saw a carrier tank. It was closer to the gang then before when they hid at the appliance store.
Maybe this is why there are more machines. Humphrey quickly closed the door as he saw a robot look at him. He gasped as he closed it.
"They are right out there." He said quietly as he didn't want to alarm the robots.
"We need to do this… it's now or never."
Everyone looked at him then at each other. Was this really up for discussion? Sure they wanted to go back to their old lives, but their army is no match for a robot army.
They needed to think it over. Meanwhile, back at the carrier tank, Gray Mann watched over the New York metropolis as the robots were killing everyone, including the Canadian Army and the U.S. army.
"My plan is better than I expected. Time to see what's on the news." He turned on the television and saw a news woman who looked stressed out. She wasn't herself.
"Many news reporters are dead… we're trapped in this news room with no way of contacting the outside world. We can report the news because there hasn't been news... the Canadian army and U.S. army is still fighting each other from the looks of it and many robots have killed many people."
"Amazing…"
"I'm getting word that the white house has been bombed and…. Yes… the president was inside at the time… the president is dead? Oh my God… they killed the president… you bastards… This is Shelby Holiday… and I'm freaking out!" She screamed as she pulled on her hair.
"Excellent…" A robotic voice then came from behind Gray.
"Sir, how are you today?" It was the Aaron bot that he unveiled just a while ago.
"I'm great. Just great. Getting stabbed ten times in the heart was the best thing that could ever happen!" He then laughed maniacally.
"Do you need help sir with anything?" The Aaron bot asked.
"No, I'm fine." The Aaron bot then started to leave. "Wait!" The Aaron bot turned.
"There's one more thing. Bring me the Devil…"
"Yes sir…" He then stopped for a moment as beeping tones were heard. The robot was making a call.
"Tell him, I request his presence…."
