Connor turned sharply as the voice called his name. His hand instinctively reached for the hilt of his gun. "Who are you?" He trembled as he looked at the android in front of him. It looked just like him down to speckles across his face. The only difference was the darker shade of hair, piercing blue eyes and the fact that the android was at least two inches taller.
"Oh Connor, I can see why CyberLife wanted to replace you with me." The android walked around the ruble getting closer to Connor. "Who I am is of no concern to you. I'm just here to complete my mission."
Connor stared at the android. Replace him? Connor swiftly pulled his gun out and held it at the android. "I'm sorry but I can't let you do that. Whatever your mission is, I can't let you continue."
The other android chuckled slightly as he circled Connor. "Or what Connor? You'll shoot me? I'm stronger than you, faster and feel no pain. You're the one who need to watch out."
Connor's led started blinking red as the other android came up to him. They both stood eyeing each other, waiting for the other to make a move before continuing.
"Where is Reed?"
"You don't give up do you Connor. Loyal to the end. I'm surprised you didn't just try and probe me right here." The android's expression changed as he realized that he had other things to do. "Catch me and you might find out where that pathetic human scum is." The RK900 lurched forward, pushing Connor right in the chest before jumping over part of the ruble and running full sprint down the road.
Connor fell to the ground hard. His gyroscope working quickly to counter what had happened. He jumped to his feet as he scanned the quickest way to chase after the android.
The RK900 kept running. His mission was the only thing in his mind. He knew that the RK800 model would be able to keep up with him to an extent but he knew that sooner or later it would slow or make a mistake, and that would be when he would strike. He just had to last until then.
He continued down the main road, pushing people aside as he tried to get as far away from the other android. He knew that Connor wasn't that far behind. He would just have to lose him somehow.
A small alley came up on his left and in a hope to loose Connor the RK900 ran down it. It was only when he got to the end of the road that he noticed the mistake he had made.
Connor was rounding the corner of the ally. He didn't understand why the other android would want to come here. Didn't he know it was a dead end? He noticed the android had come to a stop due to the towering wall. "Stop running, you have nowhere to go." Connor yelled as he come to a stop in front of the android.
The android looked as him. "Really, you are as dumb as they say aren't you Connor." The RK900 turned and ran full sprint at the wall managing to grab the top and pull himself over. "Now who has nowhere to run."
Connor cursed as he saw the android climb the wall. He turned and ran in the opposite direction hoping to cut him off on the next road when he came out.
The RK900 looked back at the wall, slightly surprised that the stubborn RK model hadn't followed him. He got up and brushed himself down before picking up a jog and heading to where he had left Gavin.
Connor continued running and came across the opening of the ally way on the opposite street only to find that the android had gone. "Shit" He cursed again as he quickly scanned the area for any sight of the android. His sensors picked up on a figure with a white jacket jogging through the crowds of people, heading back to the crime scene. Connor turned off his scan and followed.
Nines came to a stop outside the back entrance to the building he kept Gavin in. He was just opening the door as the RK800 came into view. "You don't know when to quit do you?" he smirked as he threw open the door and ran in. Connor wasn't far behind him. The door flung open as he took to the stairs two at a time. He was still chasing the RK900 when the it came to a stop by the window at the top flight of the stairs. He looked Connor right in the eyes before giving a salute and diving out of the window. Connor, not wanting to take his eyes of the target, ran full pelt up the rest of the stairs and jumped head long out of the window. He didn't realize what he had done till it was too late.
Both androids landed in a heap at the bottom of the building. Blue blood smeared the arm of the RK900's pure white jacket but he didn't seem to care. He was too busy trying to get up and away from the older RK model. He didn't even notice the metal rod sticking out of his arm.
Connor on the other hand wasn't so lucky. He had landed heavily on his ankle causing it to snap. The pain was like a raging fire engulfing him. He screamed as he tried to get back up but fell down onto his back. The RK900 looked over to him smirking at his misfortune. He ran around the side of the building. Not wanting to give into him Connor disabled his pain receptors and ran, albeit with a heavy limp, after the android.
The RK900 slowed as the DPD squad cars came into view. Knowing that he would have to get away fast, he ran to where one of them was parked and tried to get the engine started. He looked up for a second and saw the RK800 staring dagers at him from the hood of the car. "You know you are really starting to piss me off." The RK900 remarked as he got out of the car.
Connor kept the gun trained on the android. "Like I said. I'm not going to allow you to complete your mission. Now where is Reed?" He growled.
Nines reached into his pocket and pulled out the gun he had taken from Gavin. "I would tell you but there would be no point. Good bye RK800."
The whole area suddenly went quiet as Connor fell back onto the tarmac. Blue blood started seeping from the android as the RK900 turned around, walked to the car and started the engine. Without even a glace at the fallen detective he put his foot on the pedal and sent the car off down the main road.
