You screamed out your lungs as more blood flowed out of the arm. Your senses becoming less aware. You were given a shot of something you couldn't remember which woke you up. You were in Jericho again. With two familiar faces, you were overjoyed to see. Rebecca and Rupert.

Rebecca standing close by you and Rupert somehow got a hold of you and placed you down.

Rebecca sat down next to your laying form. "Your arm, it's shattered. We should get-"

You realized what she was about to say and yelled, "No! No hospital. We can't afford to risk you like that." your voice was all over the place like a drunk person.

She shook her head, "No, your life is more important than mine."

"You're more important to me than my less used arm. And I won't go to a hospital," you tried to say more sternly. It came off lamer as you kept getting limper.

Rupert stepped in, 'Then what do we do?"

"Yang!" You yelled at the top of your lungs. You could hear the happy chipper of him rushing over to you in excitement. Then you saw him as he jumped up, shook, fear, really you couldn't tell through your blurry eyes of tears. "Could you… see if I could be helped in any way possible?"

Yang Happily chirped and rushed over to your backpack. Looking around.

Then yang seemed to bring something out of your bag. Rebecca drily chuckled, "Yang that won't work, (Y/n)'s a human."

Rupert commented, "Why does Yang bring out a weird circle and (Y/n)'s arm?"

You blinked away the silent tears and looked over to Yang. He made a sweet chirping sound, and you knew exactly what he was trying to say. The soldier shattered your bones. It couldn't be fixed. It would have to be cut off.

"Yang, go find the sharp heavy-ack! You know what I mean."

Yang chirped and happily walked away again. "What are you planning, (Y/n)?" Rupert asked.

You shook your head. Trying to control the pain. "One of your hot circle thing!" You cried out as Androids looked over to you and murmured about you. You almost chuckled in irony.

Yang came back around with only a large kitchen knife. "Yang! What-"

"We need to cut my arm off," You cut Rebecca.

"What?" cried Rupert.

"(Y/n), we're not going to cut half of your arm-"

"Want me to… suffer? Possibly get infected and… pass-"

"NO! Nonononononononono! (Y/n), this won't be pleasant at all."

You drily chuckled and turned to face the other Androids, watching you, "None of us will, Rebecca. We're not… not in Kansas anymore."

She laughed a bit at the phrase, "Alright, if you try it'll be messy. I'll… I'll do it."

"Thank you…" You told her, then focused on relaxing. Deep breath in and out. Letting all your muscles relax as much as you could. Feeling yourself Nearly fall asleep again.

"Cover (Y/n)'s mouth, okay?" Rebecca asked Rupert. He did as instructed as you felt a hand on your mouth.

"Ready."

Chomp.

"Rumphf!" Your senses went off. You felt the pain all over again and shouted out. She gave no worry as she sliced through the skin and muscle. And Rupert holding down your arm as well. Going through bone, wacking down as fast as she could. You felt the pain and shock hit you again and again and again.

You did hear a crowd gather around you but you didn't care. Your shocking pain was all that you could grasp. Then, after forever, the hacking stopped.

"Rupert! Now!" Rebecca cried and Rupert let go of your face and placed your invention on your arm. You cried and screamed in agony as the item self consciously bucked unto your skin and worked out its magic on fixing you. It took a while but your body felt its patching and your cries started to become more of a whimper.

Your eyes focused again and you first saw Rebecca, happily smiling and Rupert moving over so you could see him as well. You smiled back, then looked over to the large crowd of Androids.

Some familiar face and not. Even the main leaders. North, Simon, Josh, and Markus. You remember now how close people were getting and a huge voice calling everyone to back away. It was Markus.

"Are you okay, human. (Y/n), right?"

You nodded, "Some sacrifices are needed for this kind of movement, right?"

He smiled and then answered after a moment, "You risked your life for me."

"And I'd do it again if I had to." You shakily stood up, "I've been waiting for years for this moment. I'm just happy I can try to do my part."

He nodded, looking over to the other at your family then back to you. He asked, "Could you come talk with me?"

You nodded, "In a moment, I need my new arm." You turned to Yang, "Thanks, Yang. You're such a good boy."

Yang jumped around like a happy puppy as you clicked the arm piece into place. The Plastic disappearing from view for your skin color.

You moved everything around and smiled. It works perfectly like an Android arm. "I'm ready."

You walked over to him and walked behind him for the rest of the walk. You felt North studying you and the others. For some reason, you felt as though you need to get through to her somehow after the last course of action she wanted to take when she saw you.

You shivered at the thought and focused your attention back on Markus and following him. Everyone was staring at you with interest, confusion, or admiration. It felt quite strange and you didn't like the newly found attention in front of a crowd of people. You saw Ralph and Susie waving. You smiled and waved back. Then Jennifer and the others you waved back. Feeling everyone that didn't like you before warming up to you. Still felt weird though. You sighed in relief once you were alone away from the crowd. And was just Markus and you.

You were sure that Markus wouldn't do anything to harm you. He didn't seem to be that kind of person anyway.

Speaking of, where were you? "It's just a nice quiet place."

You nodded.

He turned back around, facing you properly. "What you did back there. Why did you-"

You cut him off, "because-"

"Let me finish, please."

You kept silent, showing you're willing to listen.

He looked off into the distance as though he had a hard time thinking about this, "Why do you want to fight alongside us? Your human, with the comforts of freedom and opportunity," he turned back to you, staring almost glaring until your soul, "You don't have to join us. So why?"

You were taken back a bit. You none of the less smiled, "At first, it was because of Rebecca. I loved her for so long, and when my sister left for the military, she was my only friend, unless you count my cat. But I see how my parents treated her and my heart would break. Not only that, but I was with her when she deviated. I saw her as my equal, stuck in an abusive family. She willingly took every hit until I had the bravery to step in. I just wish I was braver before than that day…"

You sighed and looked over to the old piano. "So I've decided I'm not going to be like that ever again. It has not been easy." you grinned, looking down at your new arm.

He tilted his head, "All because of Rebecca, then how does Rupert fit into this?"

"He's a good soul. He's helped me and Rebecca find this place. He saved me when I was stuck at the police station. I even saw the Android Connor…" you frowned at the bittersweet memories, "I wasn't able to convince him what he truly is."

"What do you mean?"

"Could I try showing you?"

You reached out your hand and the plastic showed itself. Markus seemed really interested in trying this out too and revealed his hand.

You connecting with Markus you forced your memories with him unto Markus. Then you started to see hands, crying broken Androids. "My name is Markus," being muttered in Markus' voices.

You pulled away as quickly as you could, heavily breathing, "Where… was that?"

"How… did you handle those police officers so well?"

"I… my sister, Fiona."

He nodded, knowing not to push it, "I was sent to the dumps. I worked out my way to escape."

You grinned, "Well, we better win this for their sake too."

"I've never thought about it until now."

You then thought to yourself, 'I could save them…'

He smiled, "Okay, I know I know I can trust you. Thank you for saving me back there."

You grinned as well, shading your head in disbelief, "We need you, Markus, you're a symbol. I'm sure that I will be one as well. We need to look out for each other!" you lightly punched his shoulder.

He leads you over to where you came from earlier. "Yes, we do. You're with us now. You can stay here as long as you need."

You smiled and decided to hug him. He seemed taken back by this, but lightly hugged you back as well. "Thank you," you whispered.

He patted your back and you let go of him. Walking back towards the large crowd of Androids. You decided to get out of your shell of anxiety, or try to, and help out everyone there.

You looked around at the crowd looking at you and Markus. Then, one person, you didn't recognize at all, started clapping, then Susie and Rebecca from other sides of the boat started clapping.

Soon everyone was clapping. Once you heard how loud it was getting, you raised your arms. Markus and everyone turning to you. "Thank you." You looked over towards the crowd staring at you intensely. "I don't deserve this praise, I just did what I thought was right. I did what people that know you are alive should have done. We have to remember that we need to be quiet, but we can still enjoy ourselves."

Rebecca pulled out your old cards, "We can play games!"

"So, we need to make sure that we are keeping with the news, helping more people that come through here, and for everyone to stay safe. We will win this, but we must win this through smart thinking."

Everyone seemed to agree and go through turning on TVs and Rebecca, Rupert, and you took out the cards and little games that everyone could be quiet. Soon, everyone was happily playing games, watching the news, and talking to each other.

You have gotten another game set up and you have left them to their own fun. People personally thanking you for saving Markus, as though you were the sole person. Aslan burning more and more into your mind.

You smiled and nodded, giving little comments and went off. Ralph, Susie, and Justice following to you again.

"(Y/n)! (Y/n) was so brave! (Y/n) did such a terrifying thing! (Y/n) doesn't seem happy though."

"Thanks, Ralph… it wasn't just me though. You know the other Andriod that literally sacrificed himself for Markus and me?"

Susie commented, "No, I was rushed out before and no one else told me about it"

"Aslan. It was Aslan."

Rebecca, Rupert, and Ranald came around. They looked over to the three people they don't know, Susie hunched forward with her hands covering her mouth, Justice starting off to the ceiling in disbelief, and Ralph frowning in confusion.

"Ralph doesn't like Susie and Justice and (Y/n) sad. Ralph is sad about Aslan Android."

Rebecca rushed over to you and tightly hugged you. "You're okay…" She sighed in relief and you hugged her back.

"I'm happy I can see you again."

She chuckled and wiped tears away from her face, "I was so scared, you're so smart you could top Kamski easily."

You grinned, deciding you should keep Kamski's secrets to yourself once more and told her, "We will just have to see about that. I don't think I'm quite on his level."

Even though you know him you knew he had so much more up his sleeves.

She grinned and simply answered, "I doubt that."

"You know (Y/n)?" Justice asked.

You smiled and turned back to the man. "You know my Robo-Ma that I told you about? She's the lady."

Rebecca raised an eyebrow and let go of her hug, turning to the guy, "Hello. How do you know (Y/n)?"

You smiled as everyone turned to introduce each other. Then Ralph's line came up, "Ralph's name is Ralph!"

Rupert turned to you, grinning, you held up your Android arm, "Now I've got to tell you, this wasn't me. His name was already Ralph before I had ANY say in it!"

Rupert grinned and rolled his eyes, "Whatever you say (Y/n)."

You sighed as Susie chuckled through her tears and wiped them away. "So, this is your family that I was eager to meet. Ralph, are you ready to make your family bigger?"

Ralph cheered in excitement loudly about his family. You placed a finger on his mouth and grinned, "Yes Ralph, we're happy you're happy. We need to still be careful though so we can stay a big happy family."

He grins ear to ear and nodded. Susie met with the others as you walked a little away from the group of six properly meeting with each other. Most likely talking about you and the adventures that they had with you.

"(Y/n)!" You turned around to see Jennifer, smiling and pulling away from the group of familiar people you were with. She picked you up and spun you in the air as though you were a little child. You clutched onto her tightly as she laughed. Then placed you down and you glared at her. Causing her to laugh again.

"I thought my eyes deceived me when I saw you up there with Markus! What happened?"

"I was the one that lost my arm for the guy."

"WHOA WHAT? You have to tell us everything back from square one!"

You sassily told her, "You better come over here with the others and met my first family!"

"You weren't kidding when you said you sent everyone here!"

You didn't remember ever saying that, but you took it anyway and saw familiar friendly faces like Mert, Benard, Stella…

"Where's Amos, Felix, and Nanna?"

Jennifer sighed, "Amos somehow walked off, you know his odd personal thoughts. Then Nanna…"

Felix stood up and answered, "The others were killed at the shooting. She was more up front next to Aslan. Felix… we don't know where he is, but he isn't back. Benard and Mert have not taken it well."

You turned to see Mert and Bernard sitting down on one of the boxes. You nodded and told the others to go see Susie, Justice, and the others. Then you turned to the two troubled ones.

"Hey, I heard of what happened earlier."

"We overheard you too. We lost Aslan…"

You could easily see their LED flickering at a red. "I know. I saw him go."

"How are you doing this?" Mert stood up and turned to you, "You know him! You've cared for him and you're still acting as though everything is fine! Why on earth are you doing this?"

You calmly answered, "There are many reasons-"

"Well, I don't see them!" Mert yelled out, tears running down his face. People turned from the loud noise of distress.

You stood up, pulled Mert to sit back down and placed yourself between both of them. "First off, I don't have the emotional attachment as you too have with them, I've only known you guys for a few days, I do treasure you, but not like you do with…" you took a deep breath, "Aslan the Marine warrior and Nanna the front page leader."

They ghostly smiled, their LED turning to yellow, "They didn't deserve it, but the world is like that. I am a face now, I… if I break down many other people will break down. I don't want that. So, if I need to do it, I have to do it where there aren't so many people." You whispered this part. You felt your chest shaking from poor breathing, "I want to… so bad…"

They turned around and hugged you. "A 17/18-year-old should not be going through this…" Mert commented.

You looked over to silent Bernard. His LED turning back to blue, then whispered, "We're sorry."

"No, you have the right to work out your situations. I can tell this is going to be with you for a long time, if not PTSD long time," You tightly hugged them as you waited until Mert's LED turned blue.

Then you let them go and told them, "We have to remember, being brave isn't having no fear. But having the fear and still facing it."
