Anastasia was sitting on a table next to more books.

She's bored.

Then suddenly Acker was at the door behind her.

Anastasia: What are you doing here?

Acker let out a silent shh as he was about to get caught.

Acker: You want to see something interesting?

Anastasia: Yes?

Acker: Come with me.

He brought her with him outside of lessville.

A long walk was toward the old library.

At first she felt scared about the place but then she saw two people.

34.

Anastasia: Hey, is that?

Acker: Yes, it is.

She ran to give them both a big hug.

Relieved that they were safe the whole time.

She turned around to thank Acker, but.

He was gone.

--

After getting through the tunnel, they finally reached the factory, how tall it was.

Gensin really didn't know how big it actually was.

5: Can I wait here?

They just looked at him seriously.

Then they all go in.

It was less dark inside than the tunnel they went.

Up in the ceiling were the giant steel war behemoths 70 years ago.

There were also planes, tanks, and artillery.

Then they went to another room, it was filled with chemical weapons and incendiary tools.

2 was confused about this whole place.

2: Why would it bring him here?

There was a large hole in the wall. Underneath was a pool of oil.

They carefully went down there and jumped crossed rock to rock.

Then there was a larger room shape like Dome, a large hole in the wall.

And metal pieces, around the floor.

Then, a large pile of rocks, wood, sand scraps.

But there was something else, a large cage.

And there he is.

Shane.

Gensin: Shane!

Gensin was rushing.

9, 5 2 was far behind him.

They told him to slow down, but he wouldn't.

Gensin: Shane!

He shook him by his shoulder. He wasn't moving.

Gensin: Shane?

2 walked closer to him. He noticed he had bite marks on his chest, and he gave him one little tap to see if he moved.

He didn't.

Gensin couldn't believe it.

9, 5, 2 believed they were too late.

Gensin looks down upon himself.

But

Shane grabbed his hand.

Shane: I knew you'd come.

9, 5, 2 were relieved he was alive.

Gensin was more than relieved. He was happy.

Gensin: Shane! I thought...

Shane: Shh!

He shused him up, then slowly pointed forward at the edge.

Gensin goes over to see the beast, he was moving a pile of metals away from something.

The mirror glowed brighter than it did.

He rushed back to shane.

Gensin: We need to go now.

--

The beast managed to remove the last pillar of a weird device.

It grabs the talisman, then moves it to the plug.

Then, a noise was heard.

Gensin, 5, 9, and 2 attempted to destroy the lock inside the cage.

Swinging a pickaxe at it.

Then , light behind them.

The beast saw them.

Attempted to grab them, they ran beside the cage, like cat vs. mouse.

Shane was still trapped.

They were behind Shane.

The beast swings its claws inside the cage and attempted to grab them. But missed.

He then throws the cage with Shane in it.

5 2 run to get shane

Gensin grabbed his trenchgun and shot it at its stomach.

The beast yelled at its damaged, 9 attempted to get it frightened by his light staff.

Gensin reloaded then, the beast was getting closer to them, they stepped back a little, 9 was on a plank.

The beast noticed, when gensin was about to fire again, it swung its claws at the plank, 9 fell down, the plank hits gensin, and misses the shot.

They were beside 5, 2, and Shane.

When they got up, the beast was nowhere to be seen.

They went into a circle.

The beast dropped on the floor, then let out a large roar.

They all fell on the floor, then crawled backward.

5 grabbed his crossbow, then shot it at its face.

2 grabbed its rifle, then shot it near his teeth.

The beast almost flinched, then slowly walked over with his arm in the arm, ready to kill.

The five have nowhere to go.

The Beasts arm up in the air, ready to kill, let's one final roar.

Then, a sound from above, a figure with a bird of a skull, throws a bolas at the beast, shutting its mouth shut.

Then two figures jumped on it, the one with a black hood stabbed it through the spine, the beast tried to grab them both.

It knocked off a shield from the bird figure's arm.

The hooded figure was almost scratched.

Then, behind the beast was another figure, wearing a gasmask and a brown cap.

When the two leaped high in the air.

The cap figure fired a sort of spear from its crossbow. It sends an electrical shockwave, completely stunned.

Then, when they came down, the bird figure beheads the beast.

The head came down, and the figures landed on their feet.

The boys were still scared and confused about what had just happened.

The bird figure stabs its spear on the ground.

The hooded figure does the same.

Then their hands on their masks.

It is two stitchpunks, 7 10.

5: 7? 10?

2: I don't believe it!

2 runs up, then hugs 7.

7 seems to show concerned.

Then he hugs 10.

The other figure with the cap came closer.

It takes its cap off plus a gas mask.

It was human. She had purple-darkish hair. Also has very pale skin.

Gensin kind of smiles, she noticed, she smiles back.

Shane bumped gensin on his shoulder.

5: You came back!

7: We never left... you finally decided to join the fight.

2: 10... I thought the worst had come, child.

10: I'm alive and well, 2... I'm glad we came in time for you as well.

2: I feared what may have come... and yet here you stand. With the nib I gave you, it doesn't have a scratch on it.

And you have a new look, I see.

7: We also had a new member.

She points at her.

2: Who is this?

7: Her name is Rena, she is a skilled sharpshooter, she is also a skill inventor.

9 picks up the shield from the floor, and she gives it back to 7.

9: You dropped this.

7 also sees that they also had new members.

Two humans, both boys.

7: Where have you been hiding?

Shane felt a bit annoyed when she said hiding.

Gensin wasn't paying much attention.

He had his eyes stuck on Rena, not because she's pretty, but because he hasn't seen a grown female human since anastasia or ever when he and shane were outside.

2: Rusty shocked together piles of...

He kicks the skull and hurts his feet, 10 5 laughs a lot.

When the whole group except Gensin got together.

Gensin realized something, his mirror.

He pulled it out it was still in good condition, then it started glowing, and didn't repeat its normal pattern it just glowed bright.

Then one small noise was heard from a pebble, gensin turns around, he sees a figure with claw marks, a stitched up head, and a near skeletal structure, except for the chest.

Its face is not visible. It was holding the device and was close to inserting the machine.

Gensin: Shane.

Shane and the others turn around to see the figure putting the device into a plug.

Shane: WAIT!

The entity plugged the device.

It turns around to reveal a large red eye.

Then, it runs away into out of nowhere.

The device glowed green, and the mirror stopped glowing.

9: NO!

2: What is it doing?!

Shane: We don't know what this is!

Shane tried to pull the device off.

The device opened, pushing Shane on Gensin.

Three lines were forming, gensin still had the mirror, Shane pushed gensin right to 9 2.

The device then fired. It caught Shane by its eyes and mouth.

He stayed still, Gensin, and the others were horrified.

Then he was pushed back as if something was pulled out of him.

The device closes.

His lifeless body was on the floor.

Gensin couldn't feel it.

9 is in fear of something.

10 screamed in completed horror, 2 5 were devestated.

7 and Rena were in complete shock.

He felt paralyzed, that he's lost his best friend.

--

Gensin: What...

5: No!

They ran over to him.

His eyes and mouth were sealed shut, but smoke was coming out of it.

10 was averting her eyes away from his corpse, and 2 hugged her.

9: Shane...

Then, behind the curtain glowed red.

9 looked and couldn't believe it.

It started moving.

They all looked at it.

Then it started to crumble, and they all ran, leaving Shane's body to be buried by dust and metal.

They were then on a sort of conveyor belt, 7 stopped everyone with both her arms.

There was a dead end, a huge hole.

The figure was rising. It was the Fabrication Machine.

5 and Rena were loading their crossbows with a grappling hook.

7 noticed an edge above a lever.

She grabs 5's arm and then aims above the lever.

Rena also aims above the lever.

Both fired for a tight grip, 9, 7, 5 10 hold on to each other.

Rena holds on to both Gensin 2.

7: Jump!

Rena quickly looks at Gensin.

Rena: Hold on.

They all jumped, swinging towards the other belt.

The grappling hook 9, 7, 5 10 were holding fell down from the edge and then onto the lever.

Everyone landed on the conveyor except 7, who was hanging on a loose metal.

The lever was pulled, the conveyor started running, the fabrication noticed.

As Rena Gensin got up, the doors opened, and out was a large cannon, almost pushed the group of the edge, 10 almost fell but was on the catwalk.

Rena started running back to her.

9, 5, 2, and Gensin were left to find an exit.

Then, a large foot of the behemoth shoved them off the conveyor.

There was a piece of a flag acting as a cushion.

They landed on it.

7 was still hanging on, the machine slowly went over to her.

They both stare at each other.

As he was about to grab her.

9 grabs his staff, 5, 2, and gensin were still running.

5: Quick!

2: Hurry!

The machine looked over and saw them running, but one got his attention.

9.

10 saw the machine look the other way, she hid by covering herself with her scarf.

Rena didn't have anywhere to hide, but the machine went without noticing her.

10 ran toward the edge and put her spear between spear.

10: 7! Grab on!

7 points her spear, then both conjoined.

Rena noticed the gears turning.

7 gets back on the catwalk.

7: Let's go!

Rena: Wait! I have an idea!

9, 5, 2, and Gensin were both running through a large hole on the wall.

They got past, but the machine tore down the wall.

Out was Debris, and it started to unshuffle the rocks. They were hiding under a broken pipe.

As it almost touched it, a loud clank was heard.

It was coming from the gears, the machine went to investigate, there was a bola stuck beneath one side.

The machines angrily smashes it, 7, 10, and Rena found them.

7: What are you waiting for?

They all started running through a mine shaft.

7: Keep moving!

The machine turned around and saw them again.

It then goes over to it, then using its sawblade to cut through, he uses his other arm to peirce through the pipe and grabs 2.

5 10: 2!

The pipe fell, 5 grabs onto the edge, 10, 9, and Gensin pulls him up.

The machine tried to grab 9 with its claws.

They all managed to scurry away from the factory.

The machine roars from the distance.

The group was safe despite 2 being left behind.

Gensin fell down, and he passed out.

--

???: gensin! Gensin! GENSIN!

Gensin wakes up he sees Rena right in front of him, he was laying on books.

Rena: You're awake...

He gets up, then he hears 9 5 arguing.

In another room.

5: This can't be happening again!

9: We can still fix this!

5: With... Both of them gone!

9: I've been through this before...

9 looks at 10, she is heartbroken, next to 3 4.

9: We can still save them.

7: How?

They were all silent.

Then smoke and flames burst out of the smokestacks.

5: What do we do?

9 wasn't sure yet.

Gensin immediately thinks about the town of lessville.

1, 8, and others would be killed if he didn't do something.

He then felt something, he almost forgotten that Shane died, but he felt confident somehow, the he still had the mirror, he looked in it, then had an idea.

Gensin: What is this?

He shows them the mirror.

9: That?

5: What about it?

Gensin: This thing, it glows when there is that thing.

9 had just wondered.

9: The talisman...

Gensin: It was glowing bright when that thing awoken it.

9 realized he hasn't told everyone anything about the talisman 2 had in his travel.

5: What was the thing?

9: The Talisman!

He then grabs 10's spear and then dips it in ink, then starts drawing the exact detail of the talisman.

9: The shapes corresponded, it fit perfectly into the machine.

As if it was made for it.

10 5 both recognized the drawing.

5: That's what 6 always draws!

Gensin: 6?

5: 2 collected his drawings, he was always studying them.

10: He called it the source, He mentioned it all the time when he was drawing.

7: You knew about this?

10: Um... Sort off...

Gensin wondered if their really is a connection.

Gensin: I have to see them.

7: What? Go back to 1. So he can lock us away while this nightmare awakens?

Gensin's expression doesn't change as he is dead serious.

Rena doesn't agree with Gensin.

7 tips on her skull helmet.

7: Never.

She leaps from the room and outside she goes.

Rena does the same.

3 4 run off to investigate.

10, however, hasn't seen 6 in weeks. She grabs her scarf and drops it on the floor.

3 4 Noticed.

10: I'm coming with you.

Gensin was much better that she joined in.

10: I should've gone back a long time ago.

Gensin Smiles.

Gensin: Then lead the way.
