Ok, sorry I've been slowing down guys. School started and I don't have that much time to think, but this is not the end! The story must go on!

CHAPTER 19: NEEDLE AND THREAD

Dylan readjusted himself in his seat now that his story was finished. The stitches remained silent for a few moments, letting the words sink in. 1 was the first to speak.

"Well then, let's get on with it!"

9 had never remembered 1 ever being really gung-ho about things before, but it was a possitive change of pace. 9 was equally surprised when 7 agreed.

"1's right, we gotta get started."

With this everyone's eyes turned to 9. They all looked at them like he should know what to do, like he should have all the answers.

Like he was their leader.

9 thought for a moment then told the others his plan.

"Okay, first we got to get any supplies we need here, then we need to get the blueprints for the new set of...us. We can get the rest of the supplies at Dylan's house, it shouldn't take long because Dylan and Caleb there."

9 pointed to the dog,

"Can move pretty quickly. After the new set is made, we need to figure out how to travel around the planet fast enough to recruit the others."

"But how do you plan to do that hm?"

1 was always one for making good points.

"I might be able to help with that." Dylan said,

"To get around even faster the humans made cars and boats and planes, I don't know how to make one myself, and after the others are made I won't be able to help you..."

Dylan paused for a moment, taking in the fact that he would be gone by then.

"But you may be able to find some pictures or documents telling you how. A boat or plane is the only way to get across the oceans, but you gotta be fast. It will only take a few weeks for the O.V.E.R.M.I.N.D. creates a new army and invades, so you guys have to take it out before that."

7 spoke up again,

"Then lets go, now!"

Everyone agreed silently and set to work. Supplies were gathered and 6 was able to find the blueprints. He still wasn't telling 9 anything, maybe he was waiting for the other set to be made?

After a few minutes the group had gathered everything that they could gather, and were ready to set out. As they gathered at the door 9 noticed something that he should have seen a long time ago, or more like something he didn't see. 9 was standing right were the corpse of the scorpion machine had been, but it was nowhere to be found. He thought about telling 7, but Dylan interupted his thoughts.

"C'mon, get on Caleb so we can go."

9 looked up at the human, even at a young age the humans were so large.

"What about your father? I thought you wanted a burial."

Dylan thought for a moment, but was cut short by a loud robotic wail. Dylan's eyes grew wide at the sound, and 9 remembered it from when they had first met Dylan.

"God, it's back! That machine has been after me for weeks. It's larger then the ones that you guys have taken down before, we just gotta run NOW!"

But it was already upon them.
