N woke up in a dark place. Looking around, nothing could be seen. This was strange, N didn't remember sleeping in a place like this, let alone ever see a place like this. He tried to walk somewhere, to look elsewhere, but what difference it made? It was all the same. N didn't give up though, he had to find a way to go back to his squad, J would kill him if he slept too much, and that would make a bad impression on V. He couldn't let that happen.

He tried to walk, to run, to look, to punch, but nothing worked, not even his body, as if he had lost all energy, even though he felt full... full of what?

It was astrange feeling, as if something was going to heppen, but nothing ever came. How long has he been here? He hoped not much. When he finally got a glinpse of sleep was alredy half of the day. Sleeping too much is bad, so he can't do that.

N was running out of options, what could he do here? Oh, he knew what do to do, he just had to call for help. When he didn't know what to do someone could help him, right?

He tried, but nothing came. He tried again, but nothing happened. N satrted to panic a bit. He tried one more time, with more force, but nothing happened. Again and again and again, but nothing happened. N satrted to get worried. WHy couldn't he speak, scream, anything?

"No"

A small whisper made it's way to the male disassembly. He quickly turned around to see what made that whisper, only to find a worker drone with its visor shattered, it's mouth ripped open, creating a hole that would fit two of N's head inside.

Before N could react an ear piercing screech was made by the creature. N stumbled back, eyes hollowed. Soon from all angles he could hear screams, not screams of anger like he was used to hear from his boss, but of sadness, pain. They wanted it all to end, and it was all aimed towards N, their killer. The one who made them suffer.

N tried to run away, but everywhere he ran to, the screams continued and new ones would start. He fell to the ground. He looked to his side and saw a deformed body. He rolled away from it and got on all fours. He felt his hands on something, something soft and squishy. He realised it was the body of a worker, his hands were inside the body, taking it's insides. The worker screamed in N's face.

N got up and noticed he was on the spire. He looked around, a deafening silence, until he heard the sound of steps behind him.

"Oooh, looks like the scrap decided to wake up" N looked around to see his two teammates, J and V, but they didn't have happy faces. Before N could say anything J lunged herself at him and kicked him in the visor. Her feet going through his visor and nearly coming out of the other side of his head "Now you have a reason to be sleeping fucking idiot. Get up and do your godamn job if you don't want things to get worse" J said, then flew away.

"O-Okay J-J. Could-d you he-elp me a little-e V-V?" N looked at where V was with the little eyesight he still had, just to see that V wasn't there. She was alredy gone, without saying a single word.

N looked at the ground and layed a little. In some time his head regenerates and he decides to follow J's command. He jumps on the air and spreads his wings, flying off in the distance. He would have to go far away from the spire, as no worker in their sane mind would go near that place. He also couldn't go to the wanderer spots of the workers V and J found, as the two disassembly would alredy be there. So he would have to go far, far away.

N was flying for 2 hours non-stop. It wasn't much, but he hasn't seen any worker on the ground. N decided to take a quick break before continuing, so he stopped in a building and sat on the top.

As much as N liked his work and needed it, the screams always throwed him off. He wasn't suitible for this. J always told him he was the worst disassembly of the company, with the lowest scores and the biggest annoyance she has in her life. He didn't understand why she kept him aorund. He would understand and accept if she tried to kill him. It was only fair in the end. He alredy tried to muffle the screams by using his chainsaws, but they weren't enough. He could still hear them. He could still hear their screams now... Wait, this wasn't screams. This was... music?

N followed the sound of the music he was hearing and found a gramophone inside the building. It was broken and only played parts of the disc, but N found the melody nice. He wanted to hear more of it. So he searched the music online. After hours of searching "musics with screams" and "ahhhh, eeeh, oooh" he finally afound it. He played it and started to hear it.

The music was good. So good in fact that he wanted to dance to it. His body moved on it's own. He jumped, laniding on the gorund and satrted spininng on the air. He could feel the breeze going along his body, it felt so good to not worry about anything, to not worry about dying, about reaching a quota, about following orders, just doing something fun, relaxing.

He spinned with his arms open, jumping and rolling on the ground, opening his wings and jumping on the air, spinning and laninding on the ground. He felt his clothes getting wet and heavier, but it was probably just his sweat. Why did they sweat thought. Such a strange desing choice that made no sense. Not like he cared, it made this all, this dance, feel more real to him.

N's tail swang around widly, not caring about anything close to him. He pretended to throw something up, then, did some more spins with his wings open and put his arm up, pretending to catch something.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" A scream so loud that hurt N's audio receptors was heard soming from above him. He quickly opened his eyes, hollowing them when he noticed that his hands were turned into blades and a worker was being pierced in the stomach by him.

He quickly throws it to the side, shocked by the scream, that just remembering it made a chill run down his spine. The worker hit the ground with it's head, killing it. N looked at the body, not understanding how that happened. He looked to himself, only to realise that he was full of oil. He was drentched in oil. His usual silky silver hair was slimy and black. HIs alredy black trench coat looked even darker, somehow. He looked aorund him, dozens of worker bodies layed around, the blade marks on them, limbs cut off, holes made with nanite.

"W-What happened?"

"I'm surprised N. You weren't completly useless for once, even if it is below the quota, something is better than nothing" J turned her chair around to face N, who was shyly sitting on her side.

"T-Thanks?" N said, not used to being complimented by his leader.

"What didn't you like it?" J got up and walked towards him.

"O-Oh no, I loved it. It's just that it's strange receiving compliments from you" N gave a nervous laugh.

"Well, if you were more useful, maybe this wouldn't be the case. Now" J took N's chin and forced to look at her "I don't know what you did to suddenly want to kill, but keep doing that, or you're going straight to the trash compactor, understand?" She said with as strict tone. N nodded and she released him "Dismissed" N made his way out of the pod. The cold wind started blowing in his skin. A little far from the pod he could see V playing with a corpse. He thought it was cute seeing her act like that. He started to approach her.

"V, YOU'RE TURN!" J screamed from inside the pod. V grumbled and got up, doing a back flip while flying to arrive in the pod, not even seeing N on th ground. N was left alone in the spiral, so he decided to hear some music, but this time, he wanted to try something new, something more metal.

V and J walked out of the pod, being done with the reports. V looked bored, while J had her usual firm face. The leader looked around, looking for her useless squadmate. As much as he was useless, she wanted to call him for one of her hunts, to see what made him change his idea and see how he opperates, but she didn't find him anywhere.

"Where did that liability go?" V sharpened her claws, while J accessed her tracking system.

"I don't know, but I want to kill something" V said with a grin in her face.

"Just you wait" J opened the tracking system and noticed that N was far away from them, but something caught her attention. He was inside a colony "WHAT!?" V looked at J confused "That moron found a way inside the colony and didn't tell us!? He better be doing a perfect job, or I'm going to kill him on the spot!" J screamed, making a jump in the air and flying to where N was. V followed right behind.

After some time of flying, V and J arrived at the colony, landing in front of the door. They looked inside, there were some workers dead on the entrance.

"At least killing them he is" J said with an annoyed voice. She noticed that the pannel to the doors had been impaled by a stinger.

"Looks like he forced his way in" said V.

"Yeah, surprinsingly he decided to not be useless anymore" Both continued walking by dead corpses, all of them with slash marks across the body, some even divided in parts.

"Ooohh, I like the way he's killing" V said, getting close to oneof the corpses "He seems pretty skilled with the sword~" V giggled.

"Uggh, You are a lost cause" J said, nearly gagging "But these are not blades, they wouldn't leave marks like these" J said with a finger on her chin.

"So what would leave them?"

"Chainsaws" V smile grew wider, she liked the wickness. They continued walking inside the colony. There were a plentidute of corpses, easily surparsing the quota of kills, maybe even more than most of the best days of them both.

"He really did a good job, I'm only pissed that he didn't leave anything for us" V said, with her claws twitching of excitment. J looked around, N was near, but she couldn't see him. Both heard the sound of fast steps, as if someone was running. From a window came two workers. J and V smiled, they would have at least something to kill, but before they could do anything, N jumped in the air and dived down with his chainsaws, piercing the first workers and doing a roll on the ground, then jumping around. J and V looked at him confused.

"Is he... Is he dancing?" J asked confused with her teammates movements.

"It looks like it is... And he's good at it" V said.

"And how do you know that?" J turned to V.

"I dance sometimes, it's good for the joints" V said with a smile. J shook her head and turned back. The worker was getting closer. It seems that he didn't notice them. J got her claws ready.

"You can leave this one to us N!" J got ready to lunge at the worker, but N arrived at him first, piercing both the chainsaws in the worker chest, then spinning on the air and throwing the bodies around "Or not, asshole" J said with a little bit of annoyance. N fell to the ground and changed his chainsaws with his hands, but couldn't land properly and started to stumble, falling right on J's chest. She blushed a little and stepped back "What the fuck N!"

N hit his head on something hard and soft? Strange. Well it didn't matter, it was probably just another worker, so N lunged foward and punched it. Sending it flying to a wall. His hand hurt, so he opened his eye and stopped listening to music. That's when he heard a familiar laugh. He looked around and saw V laughing her ass off, pointing at a wall.

"What, V? Since whe-" N looked at where she was pointing, he saw J, knocked out, on a wall. N's eyes hollowed out and he quickly goed to her side "J! J! Oh fuck. Oh fuck" N got J's body out of the wall and placed her on the ground "V! Could you help me here?!" V continued laughing in the distance, but slowly made her way to them.

"I don't think I will" V cleaned her face from the tears, while N stood on the side of J's unconscious body, hoping to not get killed when she comes back.
