I do not own any of the franchises in this story (Girls Frontline, Metal Gear, Youjo Senki), the only thing I do own is my OC idea. Please note that some characters might be OOC from the original content though I will do my best for that not to happen. A dear friend of mine helped with one of the OCs. The story will start in 3rd person and soon transfer to 1st person and remain in the first person.

Chapter 3: The Horde.

(AI G22A2 POV)

Kr took the metal bars and duct tape and placed them on the edge of the bed. "Ehhm, w-we need to–remove his p-p-p-pants". She stutters out, blushing wildly.

I chuckle "Do you have a sheet or something. For modesty, so you can continue working optimally".Kr looks at me and nods, taking out a relatively big sheet of cloth from a first aid kit and giving it to me.

"C-can you d-do it? n-not in that sense, c-can you r-remove h-his p-pants?". I couldn't help but chuckle.

"Please turn away, doctor. The nurse will handle this part~". Kr let out a cute panicked eep and quickly turned around.

(Spz-Kr POV)

Kr turned around blushing. How can she be so…so…so…flirty with him, h-how can she be so…so…damn… I guess if I wasn't in the room and that Malek boy wasn't in such a bad state she would…she would…she would just…ahhhh. Kr could have easily shut off her audio-sensory equipment to avoid hearing inappropriate noises and yet her curiosity won out and she actually, almost unconsciously raised its sensitivity almost as if to listen better. She would hear the bed creak slightly before AIG began speaking. What…what's going on, what are they doing?!.

"Now, patient, be a good boy and stay very still~" she heard the fox T-Doll chuckle and the boy let out a shuddering gasp.

Ahhh, what's this…how…why…what's going on…should I…take a peek…no…no no no no…inappropriate, filthy, I'm not like that, what's going on with me?. Kr chastised her train of thought but more whimpering and gasping noises behind her made her curiosity grow and grow and grow until. Oh to hell with it all. Kr decided to put a stop to this and turned around.

G22 slowly trailed her hand up his outer leg, earning a shiver, before her hand quickly grabbed his waistband and ripped his pants off, quickly placing the sheet over as he bit his hand, nearly screaming "There, that wasn't so bad and…..oh? Doctor was brave enough to turn around?".

Wh…wh…what is this…..Spz-Kr. Exe is temporarily out of service…. Kr's neural cloud stopped working for a second until her embarrassment took over "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?". She shouted out, blushing even harder than when G22 hugged her. G22 seemed confused.

"I thought a part of medical care was making sure that patients were comfortable and not nervous about what is about to happen". Kr beet red face became even redder.

"THIS…THIS IS…IS… THIS…". The words kept catching up in her throat. what s this, why can't I speak.?This is inappropriate, filthy, if we weren't in such a lawless world this would be considered public obscenity, and not to mention sexual harassment… but she seems to be having fun…is it really so bad…I mean…he seems to enjoy her… there is nothing stopping me from…nonono…I'm not like this.

Kr's trains of spiraling thoughts were interrupted by G22:'' Could it be that…you want in on the fun? I'm willing to share" she chuckled, stepping aside and holding his hand, while he simply panted, face bordering between pale from pain and crimson from teasing

"Don't…do that…again…..". Kr in her embarrassed stupor didn't hear Malek "Yes…no…maybe…o-once he is…h-healed?" Kr blurted out. I surrender, I'm defeated, I can't win against her, she is right, she is just breaking my restraints, my barriers one by one…he is…cute…i kinda…like him too…i could…tease him…a bit.

G22 clapped, getting her attention again "Doctor? Are you thinking about how to put the cast on, or just stuck in your own fantasy?" She seemed a tad bored now. Seemed while she was flirtatious, she was naturally worried for Malek.

Probably would be fine with a little tease along the way." Y-Yes, let's get…the o-operation going".

(Malek POV)

I swear, she is corrupting this doll, I can see it, the glimpse of G22 rubbing off on her. All I could do, in my state, was hope this poor girl wasn't gonna get swept up into her crazy ways. I can barely handle one AIG, just imagining two is giving me shivers, and not the good kind. "G-go ahead….?" I didn't actually know her name. AIG chuckled "Excuse my manners. I forgot to introduce you to the doctor. My apologies, doctor" She bowed her head, words laced with sarcasm.

"I-I'm Spz, Spz-Kr, I…I hope you'll f-forgive me but… this is g-going to hurt..a lot".

I gently nodded, gritting my teeth a little "O-ok, Kr. D-do what you have to do". She carefully moved the piece of metal to the side of my broken leg, as if checking the length, before looking over to me.

"m-may I check your leg? I-i need to, to fix it, of course!" I could tell she was fighting the pull from AIG, brave, I'll give her that.

Kr's hand runs up my broken leg, light, and teasing, it's a timid attempt. Oh no! AIG's seeds of corruption have already sprouted! But then just as quickly as her timid teasing started it ended with her starting to actually feel the area around the fracture. I hissed slightly as she found the center of the break.

"S-sorry", she replies quickly and apologetically.

I nodded "I-its ok. Y-you found it. L-lets just get this over with" I sighed, feeling AIG squeeze my hand a little. I looked over at her, and she looked back with concern and affection.

"This won't be too bad" she calmly stated in that soft voice of hers.

"O-ok" I agreed, turning back to Kr "g-go ahead.". Kr briefly looks at me, sorrow fills her eyes, and then…TWIST…

The pain flooded my system, and all I could do was scream, eyes wide, before AIG's hands swiftly moved around my head, shoving the cloth in my mouth and muffling the yell, as she stood back up and grabbed the piece of metal, lining it up to my leg "let's get the pain over with quick."

Kr is equally quick to action "Y-yes". The duo is quick and soon my leg is wrapped up in three metal rods and a lot…I mean it, a lot of duct tape, five packs by five rolls of duct tape lie empty and used on the floor.

I laid my head down, a small amount of tears on my face as I panted against the gag, as I saw AIG's face loom over "That wasn't so bad, was it?"

Before I can respond in any way I feel a sharp bite of pain again and I instinctively close my eyes and bite into the gag "Shh, i-it will be fine". I feel a hand gently stroking my hair as a soothing voice whispers in my ear. I opened my eyes again slowly, looking over to Kr with a small blush and eyes filled with confusion.

Her eyes are filled with sorrow, it's very clear she didn't wish for me to have felt such pain…however, the Elephant in the room needs to be addressed, and fast, she is using AIG Modus Operandi, the soft voice near my ear, the light stroking of my hair. Before I could reach over and pluck the gag from my mouth, AIG placed her hands on my arms, keeping them down "Not yet, dear patient. We haven't finished all the procedures yet~" oh god! What now?!

My gaze briefly drifts to Kr, and she is…confused, but…Oh…Oh No! I can see it, the way her eyes are looking at me, predatorial, sizing me up and down like a piece of meat…AIG curse you.!

AIG could only chuckle as she continued "Don't you agree, doctor. Now the surgery is done, it's only right we provide some….." she leaned in, close to my ear, letting her breath meet it "...aftercare~". My mind went running, screaming from my body as I realized my situation, eyes looking to Kr in hopes she still had a little resistance left.

"Hehe". What?, a giggle, Oh no, Kr let out a timid giggle, "May…may I help with…". She closes in as well "P-providing…a-a-aftercare?".

AIG's eyes said it all. This was about to be intense. "Of course, doctor~ just follow my movements. I'll show you how to make the patient scream…..the right way~" I gulped, feeling the hands of the two slowly move down my chest. God! Satan! Mr Miyagi! Literally, anyone who can hear my thoughts! Get me out of this situation.

As if in answer to my prayers the door opened, UMP45 walked in and stopped in her tracks, simply staring at the two and the scene before her.

(UMP 45 POV)

I took a minute to let what I just saw set in, however as I slowly made my way out of the Pd room and up to the room to see if there is anything I can do to help out with patching Malek up.

"AHHHHHHHHHH-mhguf". A loud scream muffled immediately after piercing my ears. It came from above to the room where Malek is, I almost panicked, but remembering that he had a broken leg, that's what caused the scream, they are fixing it, still I decide to go up and see if I can help.

I calmly strode through the basement, then the shop, and then the house arriving at the door to the Room. I hear voices inside it, though the room is partly soundproof so I can't understand what they are saying. I opened it and entered, completely oblivious to what I would find inside…What am I seeing?

AIG and Kr were looming over Malek, each having a hand on his chest, as he lay on the bed, his arms being held, and a piece of cloth in his mouth. At least his leg was done, but did it need that much duct tape? Back to the important issue, I just gazed at the group, unsure what to make of this "uh…what the….?"

Kr instantly jumps up, and tries to explain. "i-i can e-explain!...w-we w-were getting ready for the surgery…..a-and AIG was t-teasing me by teasing him…a-and she was c-convincing me to try as well…..b-b-but I didn't want to at first…c-c-cause it'd be w-wrong…a-and she was manipulating me! I-it was all her f-fault!" Kr hastily explained, pointing back over at AIG and Malek, before eventually looking back at AIG herself.

I did the same, seeing AIG above Malek, practically devouring his mouth as her hands tried to get under his shirt, his face bright crimson.

"H-hey! But-t-you said I could help!" Kr blurted.

Not thinking as AIG looked up, tearing herself away from the injured man "And? You left."

Kr…looks initially stunned, then surprised, then angry, then she looks back at me…hungry eyes, predator's he looks back at AIG…"Keep your little pet, I already have someone all for myself". Shiiiit, it's the evil personality, this can't be good. She slowly and sensually strides over to me, and I'm paralyzed under her gaze. She grabs me and I'm powerless in my stunned state as she shoves me against the wall and kisses me.

AIG smirked, her tail reaching over and twirling around Kr's "Awww. I'm very impressed. You've taken a big step…" before she feigned a hurt expression, her tail now tugging Kr's "... you're sure you don't want a little bit of Malek. I'm certain your eyes were hungry for him earlier~". Kr moved away from me, pure anger on her face as she began yelling, eventually provoking AIG to get off Malek and do the same.

I stood there totally and completely paralyzed, as the two started to debate and argue, Kr flipping back and forth between being her serious self and her stuttering self, though I don't really register anything of their conversation, only their escalating tone and that AIG seems to be having the upper hand in the argument; my brain was completely haywire, the feelings of Kr's soft lips devouring, ravishing, my own, the taste of her tongue as it dominated mine lingered … I'm shaken out of my reverie when I see that Kr has fallen on her knees looking at her hands, tears start to fall from her eyes and onto her hands and knees.

My gaze rose meeting AIG's, her previously angry face turning apologetic: "I didn't mean that, sorry". But Kr is simply unresponsive to her and she starts whimpering.

I approach Kr and touch her shoulder, her head snaps in my direction, her eyes full of tears:" I'M SORRY!" She screams and she runs off. I turn my gaze to AIG "What happened?".

"I got angry at her, sorry. I shouldn't have said that. I told her she had behaved like an animal, that she hadn't taken into consideration your feelings, and that she was a savage. The words just came out before I could stop them. I initially meant the animal part as a compliment". Ok, that was harsh, maybe a little too harsh, especially for Kr's fragile mind.

I decide to go after Kr, and by following the sound of whimpering I soon find her, huddled curled up against the wall of the basement, she is crying her heart out. I approached and managed to hear her mumbling between whimpers."I'm a monster, after what that bastard did to me, I'm no longer the same… I only harm those near me, even if I don't want to… I should just leave before I harm everyone".

"Hey hey hey it's ok I was just surprised that's all," I say before continuing with, "But if you ever want to kiss me again you have to let me know beforehand ok." as I reach out for a hug. She leaps into my hug and cries on my shoulder, it is obvious this girl has been through a lot, and if what I saw in that download is real I need to help her; I should ask her about it, once she is in a "better" state of mind.

Once she finished crying she raised her gaze to meet mine:" T-thank you". She whispers.

(Malek's POV)

I slowly screwed together the parts of this device I had in mind. If I could just lock in the power cell to the rotary disc, it should cause a chain reaction that….. "Weird, right?" I heard.

Quickly shaking out of my mind space "W-what was that?" I questioned.

AIG was across from me, loading her rifle and magazines, not looking up from her work "That doll Kr seems to have a dual personality. Kinda weird, right?" she queried.

My mind could only rush back to that moment after the surgery earlier, a slight blush forming on my face "I-I think it's fine. After all, you've seen the freaks this radiation zone makes. One of them wanted to make your tail into a…into a….." I tried to recall. She groaned "he wanted to make a "zombie tickler" 'cause he thought that was a valid weakness" She chuckled a little. "Yeah" was all I could say, looking back down, before feeling her eyes on me again "What?". Now I heard her shift, a shadow beginning to cloud my vision "I saw that face earlier. You kind of liked it, didn't you ?". I scowled at her, now a little frustrated "Maybe I did. You also recall what you said to her?" a little harsh, but needed to be said.

I saw the shadow of her ears flop down as she whimpered a little "Yeah….I've got to apologize to her somehow" she sounded genuinely upset. I sighed a little "Why exactly do you care so much? You usually disregard others' feelings anyway" I queried, now looking up at her. She sat by my side, looking off a little "Earlier when we went to search for material for your leg brace, she told me some of her story, after seeing her shifting back and forth between personalities, I'm starting to see the consequences of whatever was done to her, I hope I didn't worsen her situation with my words" she answered, words heavy with emotion.

I reached up and gently rubbed her fox ears, since I remember she enjoyed it, which indeed earned a pleased blush "You'll find some way to apologize, I'm sure. Just do one thing for me, ok?". She leaned her head in, closing her eyes "What exactly would that be?" she asked through pleased whines and sighs. I retracted my hand "Keep me out of it. I don't need to be both your chew toys'' I chuckled. She pouted, now leaning on me "I want more ear rubs'' she whined. Despite her high and mighty personality, she melts for ear rubs ''No. You've been a bad fox" I joked, looking back at my work. She groaned before playfully pushing me over"I want more noooooow!" she giggled. I couldn't help breaking into laughter too "Noooo''.

After a short play fight, she relented and leaned back on the chair "I don't think I can stop her if she chooses to make you a target of her teasing Malek, she likes you, not as much as that other doll, but I can see she has an eye on you as well. She just needs to remember I saw you first". I sighed, nodding "I suppose so. Nonetheless, you can at least avoid using the power of friendship on me, can't you?" I asked, still in a joking manner. She kissed my cheek, giving my earlobe a short bite as well "No promises" before returning to her rifle.

I tried to wipe away my flushed face, returning to my work as well "AIG, don't mind my question, what was her story, or at least, the brief part she told you" I enquired, returning to my machine so I could multitask.

"She didn't tell me much, but she said that her previous owner threw her away once he deemed her to be a failure, so I think she was either an Experimental model or involved in some sort of experiment; however the sick part is that her former owner chopped off her arms and legs before abandoning her somewhere" the fox doll stated, words heavy again.

"God. Talk about cruelty. Please continue" I implored.

"She said that on the verge of dying the owner of this shop found her, and took her here, he repaired her and as far as she told me, tried to somehow undo some form of damage done to her, which I think comes from her previous owner messing with her Neural Cloud; however the owner of this T-Doll shop never finished what he was doing, Salt Lake City happened" she continued. "Messing with someone's mind, T-Doll or human, is just wrong" I commented, gesturing for her to finish.

"She then told me that the owner of this shop sealed her here, the reason he had given her was that bad people were after her and he couldn't ensure her safety outside of the city, but he also told her not to worry and that he would be back; By her description, I think the owner of this shop was one of the few humans in this world who sees dolls are equal, and that he treated her with extreme kindness, I would like to meet this man, he seems to be a good one" she finished.

I nodded back to her "As would I. A clever man if he knows how to fix T-Dolls to such a level, for sure. And a good man to boot. Sounds like a great ally".

(UMP 45 POV)

As I comfort Kr I hear something outside. "Hey, I am going to go check out what that noise is ok?" I say to her and move to step away.

"Please…don't leave me". Kr says holding tight to my arm and stopping me from leaving.

Nodding I shout out. "Could you look and see what that noise is, please?!"

G22 got up, picked up her rifle, and leaned it against the window, looking down the scope, an audible gasp leaving her mouth. "What is it, AIG?" Malek questioned. "There's more coming. Tons of them" she answered silently. Malek looked back over to where UMP's voice came from "She says there's loads of them coming!" he shouted back to them.

I look back at Kr and say. "We got company and they are probably here to destroy our base." I place my hand under her chin and look her in the eyes and continue. "We can't let them destroy our current home so don't worry. I'm not mad, now let's go kick some ass." I then give her a light boop on the nose and smile. I then move to stand up again.

Kr looks at me with wide reddened eyes, and then slowly rises: " A-are you sure, won't I g-get in the way?".

"Hey hey, don't think like that. I may not know entirely what is wrong or if I am what you need right now," I say, and before she can answer I continue. " What I do know right now is that we need your help and that it will be a lot harder without you."

"Then, let us go, it's time to rip some ELIDs to pieces".

(3rd person)

45 and Kr got themselves ready quickly and headed back up to the main floor level while occasional loud cracks of gunfire roared from the floor above, already taking out some of the oncoming ELIDs, AIG, and Malek already starting the defense.

45 quickly goes over to a window to see how many Elid are coming and gasps at the sight of their numbers. 45 then quickly readies her gun and begins firing into the crowd aiming for low chest height to try and minimize the number of misses managing to take out a few but quickly empties what was left of her magazine.

Kr also starts the defense, she switches her gun to semi-auto to focus on precision, aiming at her opponent's guts, aiming for their spine, in an effort to cripple them, many of them soon fall to the ground unable to move their legs, dragging themselves by the arms, but soon finding themselves crushed by the ones behind them, trampled to death by the horde.

Soon after they fire into the crowd a few of the ELIDs with guns return fire, before the loud bang of the sniper above rang out, knocking down the shooters one by one. AIG called from the next floor "Smashers spotted in the back row!". Several large ELIDs slowly marched toward the building trampling some of the ELIDs in front of them as they did so.
Smashers were armored but were still somewhat vulnerable to explosives and armor-piercing projectiles, as the smasher closed in one was taken down by AIG with a shot that pierced the head and went straight into his spine.

Another got close enough that as Kr threw a grenade it landed at his feet blowing his legs away. AIG called down to them again "How are you guys looking for ammo?!". Kr was the first to reply, "Two magazines, three bullets, and two grenades!". She shouted before returning her focus to the horde, her last three bullets finding their way into the head of three armed ELIDs clad in police gear and armed with shotguns who had gotten a little too close for comfort.

Malek stood up from his chair at the back of the room and spoke to the fox T-Doll, desperation in his voice "Let me do something! I can help!". AIG's tail just pointed back to the chair "You are Not risking yourself. Stay put". He caught his breath "But I could….." but she stopped him again "Stay. Put.". He groaned, sitting back down and crossing his arms.

"Out of Ammo". 45 called out as the last of her bullets disabled an armed ELID, she then ducked down barely avoiding the spray of bullets from another armed ELID. then shouts "I am going to get another gun!" and then begins to crawl back towards the basement.

"Gott, there's too many" Groaned Kr as she exhausted another magazine, she then spotted an armed ELID carrying a UMP 45 and wearing a tactical jacket full of magazines. "TAKE THIS YOU FREAKS" She threw a grenade at the incoming wave, killing quite a few and blowing off the legs of the armed ELID carrying the UMP45.

The next thing AIG saw was Kr jumping out of the window and running toward one of the downed ELIDs, crushing his head under her boots before ripping his tactical jacket off "45 take this, for you." She threw the jacket with the magazine to 45's window. As Kr threw the jacket, the ELIDs about her were blasted down, as AIG shouted to her "Get out of there, you psycho!"

Kr, grabbing the chance, sprints back towards the building jumping inside from the window she had gotten out of. She then returns her focus to the horde, which has gotten quite close to the building, she switches her gun to automatic fire and starts aiming at the legs, aiming to disable as many as she could.

45 arrives back and sees the vest that was thrown into the window and haphazardly puts it on, loads a few shells shakily, standing up she then notices that there are clips of her gun loads her UMP 45 swapping it to full auto jumps out the window and begins to aim at the legs once she sees Kr doing the same.

The firing from the sniper ceased as the two could hear the fox T-Doll above "damn it! I'm out!" before she looked back at Malek, looking at the horde and drawing a katana from her back "I'll be back soon" as she jumped down, landing beside the two.

"GOTT DAMMIT". Kr curses as the last magazine falls to the ground, she then draws her mace and jumps out as well, joining AIG in melee combat as 45 keeps unloading on the zombies on her side of the road.

Both Kr as well as AIG brutally tear through the horde with their weapon, AIG slashing, and Kr smashing, a few seconds later 45 joins in with her knife, and ELIDs fall to their might-like ears of corn before the scythe. As the horde converged, they would hear a short noise from inside, before a strange piece of metal flew from the window, landing in the middle of the horde. "Get Down!" Shouted Malek from inside, now sounding like he was on the ground floor.

45 immediately hits the deck upon hearing Malek's callout fast enough that if she needed breath or had lungs they would be screaming in pain. AIG rolled back behind the remnants of a car, keeping low, behind the metal.

45 sees that Kr is frozen, standing there motionless, about to get blown to bits, her vision begins to blur as before she even knows what she is doing 45 is running and tackling Kr down to the ground. As the girls hit the floor, the bomb in the crowd of zombies went off. They could hear dozens of high pitch whistles as countless sharp objects whizzed through the air, stabbing into everything about, shredding the ELID's already weakened forms with the rain of razor-sharp edges. "CLEAR!" Malek shouted from inside, just after the whistling stopped.

The horde had been utterly decimated by the shrapnel, those who remained started to slowly lumber forward. AIG came out from behind the wreck, sword in hand ready to fend off the surviving ELIDs; 45 remained on the ground hugging Kr who was still paralyzed. 45 started to rise revealing she was covered in gashes and wounds that leaked coolant, a result of her throwing herself in the middle to protect the stunned Kr who had been shielded from the shrapnel of the bomb, remaining undamaged.
Was it not for the sturdiness of her frame, 45 would have been reduced to a pile of scrap by the rain of jagged metal.
A piece of rubble was flung at high speed and crashed into a nearby car wreck, from behind the remaining ELIDs appeared their would-be leader, a large Smasher-type Elid, with large and long arms and large spikes on his back, it almost looked like an oversized gorilla.

45 moved slightly and Kr started to wriggle out of her grip, her eyes starting to fickle into an orange glow.

(Kr's mind)

Kr was paralyzed, oblivious to what happened around her, she had lost herself; she was in a trench, rifle in hand, then the order came, and she jumped out of the trench, and marched toward the enemy's fellow soldiers alongside her. As she and her companions marched through the fog of war they were met with an enemy counter charge, no normal counter charge however, they were being assaulted by dead men, bloody, coughing out pieces of their organs, they seemed endless despite how many she gave the mercy of a quick death.

Soon however her group was overwhelmed and one of the enemies charged straight at her, bayonet in hand, glaring at her with hate as blood and sludge fell from its mouth and onto the ground. She managed to dodge its attack and readied her own bayonet, the zombified man didn't relent and charged at her again.
A shot rang out, a bullet passing through the dead man's torso granting him the sweet release of death, killing him and making his rotting scarred corpse impale itself on Kr's bayonet.

The roar of the cannons was heard and someone tackled Kr into a crater as shells started to rain down near them. When she opened her eyes she looked up at the face of her savior, a beautiful angel, a sister, a lover, a goddess. But then something caught her eye, she was bleeding, in pain; Kr's mind screeched to a halt as she slowly regained some grip on reality.
An object was flung at high speed flying over the Goddess, loudly clashing against something, the goddess lowering herself in pain, showing off more of her wounds.

Kr's mind lost itself once again in a haze of static, as messages flashes on her HUD.

Kr let out an inhuman, feral roar as she rapidly rose freeing herself from 45's grip. Her sights scanned her surroundings.

Kr acoustic sensors heard a roar and her sights finally locked on to a large figure that slowly lumbered from behind the remaining ELIDS.

"KR STOP". Kr would not stop, not until she killed every last enemy here, every enemy needed to be Kill-TERMINATED.

(Outside Kr's mind)

AIG continued to hack and slash back the ELIDs while Kr and 45 were still on the ground, starting to be forced back. She tried her best but knew she couldn't keep them all back for long. If Malek was well, he could be out here and back her up. If only….

She was pushed out of her thoughts as she heard a loud gurgle near her, looking to see that one of the ELIDs had a broad nail piercing its skull. She looked back, seeing that Malek was in fact no longer inside, where she left him, now brandishing an old nail gun. "I told you to stay inside, where it's safe!". Malek looked at her with a smirk, before dropping his welding mask visor "And let you have all the fun? Wouldn't dream of it" as he continued to fire 6-inch nails into the zombies, piercing eyes and heads.

Eventually, they held a line that the ELID's couldn't breach, but their attention was drawn when they heard Kr get back up. "Oh gods" AIG muttered. "We should probably stay out of her way" Malek agreed.

(45 POV)

Pain flares throughout my entire body, if it wasn't for this new body I bet my vision would be even worse than it is now due to the pain. I feel rustling in my arms as I feel Kr work her way out just another firm reminder that this new world I am in isn't a merciful one. I'm so focused on the pain I am feeling that I am scared out of my shocked state when I hear a roar from above me soon followed by a returned roar from the Elid.

"Shit, I don't want to die again," I whisper as I force myself to crawl toward my gun. My vision sways as I can hear the muffled sounds of thumping behind me, focus I need to make it to the gun, I think to myself pouring all my drive to survive into my crawling, I can't let it end like this.

I'm no hero I know that, but I am desperate once I get to my gun I grab it and slowly force myself to my feet, hearing the sounds of what sounded like a standoff behind me, I turn around and see Kr standing in front of me, she briefly turns around, revealing her eyes glowing like cinders, she then runs into what is left of the horde, aiming straight for the Smasher.

I take aim switching the gun to single fire, "Kr stop!" I shout, getting no recognition from her. I pull the trigger to try and provide cover fire only for the click of an empty magazine to greet me. "Shit!" I shout.

Not even paying attention to what Malek and AIG are doing, I load the second clip from the vest given and then begin to give cover fire. BANG! My ears ring from the shell as I focus all my effort on making sure each shot counts, THUD one Elid hits the ground from a bullet to the head I take aim, and the next one repeats the gesture.

After I can't only the Smasher left Kr is already in combat with it dodging its powerful attacks and using her mace to wickedly smash and tear into its flesh as a slow but what I imagine is a painful way to go. "Kr! Watch out!" I shout as I slowly move in closer to have less chance of missing, once I am within ten feet I fire at the Smasher only for it to sound like I shot concrete and have no apparent effect on it.

Kr is briefly distracted by my presence and she gets hit by a powerful attack, being flung into a nearby wall leaving a crater from the impact. "Motherfucker!" I shout quickly, switching to full auto. I unleash the rest of my bullets into the massive size of this smasher, it raises an arm in an attempt to protect its face while it rears back its other arm for an attack. Jumping back I take a quick moment and scan the Smasher.

Smasher

HP - ?

DR - ?

Collapse Radiation Induced Evolution - Near

Strengths - Durable, Spikes

Weakness - Slow, Head?

I'm snapped back to what is happening near me when I hear another roar and I see Kr has gotten back on her feet, the Smasher is looking between its two targets, and in the end, it chooses me to focus on, focusing its attention on me proved to be his mistake as Kr jumps on his back, holding on to one of his large spines and smashing the area around his nape with her mace.

Seeing her blunt attacks are having no effect Kr uses her mace pointy head and stabs it with all her strength into the Smaesher's nape, the effect is immediate as the Smasher turns its attention to her as it roars trying to get her off its large body. Seeing that blades are the way to go I quickly grab my knife in my right hand and get ready to charge.

System turns off pain receptors in the torso. I think to myself. Roger that, turning off pain receptors. Not taking the time to be shocked by that work I push my feet into the ground as hard as I can, feeling the concrete road crack from under my pressure. I launch myself forward not caring how much I am leaving myself open to a counterattack, I need to take this opportunity while it's distracted. I think quickly as I begin to fly forward. The knife being held in both hands.

I am forced to twist myself into an awkward position as I just barely slip past one flailing arm, once I am close to its chest I thrust with all the momentum and strength I have as close to the neck as I can get, the force of me doing so causes the Smasher to take a few steps back.

Kr taking advantage of its momentary stunned state reaffirms her grip, rips out her mace then goes for another stab I look up just in time to see it enter the Smashers eye as it pierces its skull blood and gore spew from the open wound as she rips her mace out and the Smasher falls to the ground. Kr jumped off in the process and me riding it to the ground

(Malek POV)

I could hardly believe what I saw. Kr letting out a vicious roar rose, her eyes turning glowing blazing orange, her servos emitting loud screeches of unrestrained fury, audible even through her Synth skin. She briefly looked around, her eyes briefly eying AIG and then moving on to me. Our eyes met…I could see it, almost, behind that glowing gaze of pure hatred there was the timid, bubbling Kr.

I've worked on T-Dolls before and while I won't say I was a genius on them, I've learned enough to know that Kr was undergoing an overload of her Emotion Module, something which happened rarely in T-Dolls, but could still happen, and was incredibly dangerous both for the T-Doll as well as those around it. AIG looked back to me, seeming to nod in agreement as she looked at the furious T-Doll.

(45 POV)

Kr was panting heavily and her entire body was twitching; I approached and she turned to face me, her eyes kept flickering, still glowing with that demonic orange color. "Kr?" I said. She eyed me and then her legs lost strength and she fell face-first into the ground, I rushed over to her and turned her around. Worry flooded my very soul to the core. "Kr!? Kr Answer me?!". I shook her, but she was only able to mutter, her eyes open, but clearly very tired. I did a quick scan of her.

T-Doll - Spz-kr

Current Condition: Damaged.

Detected internal damage. Servos Temperature at critical levels. Neural Cloud Consciousness LvII.

Current Battery: 46.29%

System, Operating Manual, what is LvII Consciousness. I think and soon the answer arrives to me.

LvII consciousness is a state of consciousness in a doll into which she becomes unresponsive to external stimuli, dolls enter this state when performing cache cleaning aka sleep, or while performing EW warfare, where they need to focus their entire processing power on a single task. Relief flooded my system as I realized Kr was sleeping, going berserk did indeed sap a large swath of her battery, considering she was at 99-something percent when I woke up, which was mere hours ago.

Malek approaches me. "Let's get her inside, does the shop have some repair pods? I should be able to repair her, she will wake up soon". I nod and grab Kr, she is relatively light, and even with my damaged frame, I'm able to bring her inside with relative ease. Malek followed, ready to begin when in a good position. AIG followed behind the others, seemingly pleased this attack was over but was clearly frustrated by something.

After arriving at the basement after some finagling to get down the ladder I hear the others following me down. "Can one of you hold her while I open the pod?" after I say that Kr moves in closer for seeming comfort I correct myself. "Or could one of you open the pod?"

AIG opened her arms, walking over "Hand her over." I hand her over gently untangling myself from her grasp. Once she finds herself in AIG's grip a whimper comes from her and she wiggles around a bit before finally settling down and snuggling close to AIG's, her face nestled against AIG's neck. The fox doll was stunned for a moment, before chuckling gently, waiting. Malek opened up the pod and looked over to AIG, a small look of surprise on his face, before nodding "Bring her in."

AIG walked slowly towards the chamber, before gently placing KR inside, careful not to drop her suddenly or knock her into anything. Once she is inside the pod AIG begins to untangle herself from the sleeping T-Doll. I walk over to the control panel and stare at it for a little bit before I try and activate the pod. The machine slowly hummed to life, some small devices seeming to reach out and link up to Kr's sleeping form; several screens monitoring her condition lit up. Malek took off his mask, hood, and even his jacket, revealing pale, scarred, but surprisingly toned arms, before he pulled out a set of what appeared to be headphones and slipped them onto his head "I'll get to work on her now. If you want to help, get me some thin metal and rubberized plastics, like tires. I'll have her done in an hour or two".
