A.N.This is supposed to be the last chapter before the epilogue... don't think Imma that lucky tho... Oh and this is Pixel POV. She's had a bit of a bump,but she's not Her
"Look alive Sunshine"-That DJ dude,the start of MCR's video for Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)
Same place as last time.
The female android stepped back further into the shadows,how she'd survived being scrapped was anyone's guess,but the group frightened her enough that she'd back up into what was essentially the corpses of her brothers and sisters. As they realised this her pursuers stopped at the instruction of the short male with red eyes in the black hoodie. That young male scared her. But he told the others something she couldn't hear,then they took off their masks. The one who'd spotted her first made her curious,he had a stunning crystalline mask shaped to look like a tiger, and his ice white outfit, causal clothing garments that were also white but had pale blue detailing on them,vanished when he removed his mask. That made the droid feel a further lack of comfort. He didn't stop looking in her direction for even a second,but for some strange reson she didn't mind.
The female with black and blue hair called out to her, " We're not going to hurt you Sweetie,you can come on out." The Girls tone of voice comforted the droid,so she approached the group of people.
"What's your name?" The other female,the one with orange hair,asked her.
"I-I... I am...I am the Primary... The Primary I-in-Interactive... E... Ex...X-ternal...I... I do not know." She mumbled.
"The Primary Interactive x-ternal,huh?." The frightening boy said. "Can we call you PIX?" He suggested.
"Y-yes. I like that." The newly christened PIX said with enthusiasm.
She caught the male who'd found her looking at her with a small fascination. When he realised she was looking at him,he turned away,embarrassed. He had a white shirt and baby blue jogging bottoms on,with shiny shoes,the whole get up looked crammed together,but he pulled it off. She studied him for more than a few moments before asking his name.
"Z-Zane," he replied,"My name is Zane."
"Zane." Pix repeated. Then she realised why the name was so familiar,it was one of her only remaining "memories" in her memory drive. Something she'd said. Something about him being like her...
She approached him cautiously. Then she circled him and spotted the thing she was looking for. To a regular person it was invisible,but to an android it was clear. A cloaking drive,built into the surface of his body. She approached him and pressed down on it firmly enough to deactivate it,revealing Zane to me made of titanium.(A.N. it's on the back of his neck,where a pressure point is on regular people) There was a collective gasp from all present... Well,almost everyone present,Lloyd had collapsed in shock. Zane looked at himself in a mix of horror and fascination.
"Well,this sucks" Kai said.
"Really Kai? Zane's a robot and all you can say is "this sucks"?" Nya demanded
"No,not that. Lloyd has collapsed. Rick's expecting him at home right about now,and he's unconscious on the floor..."
The Inconscient Apartment,about an hour later.
"I'm worried about him. He should've been back an hour ago." Rick told Ann. Bob had fallen asleep hours ago. The three had decided to binge an entire movie saga whilst waiting,and Bob had been asleep since the second film.
"I'm sure he's fine," Ann told the worried father figure (A.N. he's in worrying parent mode,not overprotective big bro mode). Rick was about to protest when there was a sharp knock at the door. He had to get up an answer it. He walked to the door,but he didn't open it. Lloyd had promised to return via his bedroom window,and it was too late for anyone else to be knocking.
"Who is it?" Rick asked.
The slightly muffled reply of "It's Kyle." shocked Rick.
"Kyle,of you're looking for Liam,he's out." Rick responded,praying Kyle didn't question why the teen was out so late at night.
"Yeah,I'm well aware that Lloyd is out...out for the count that is. Can you please let us in? We're crowding the corridor."
Now that shocked Rick into complying. He opened the door to see a group of people,including Nick,who was carrying a sleeping Lloyd bridal style,and his boss Zak,who looked like he was in the middle of an existential crisis.
Rick contemplated it for a few moments,but he realised that this was just as sudden for them as it was for him.
"Ok," he gestured for the group to come in. He recognised most of them,except for the girl in Zak's blue hoodie that had snowflakes covering it...
A.N.
Sorry I didn't reply to reviews. I had heatstroke. It's a miracle I finished this chapter at all.
