9/10/2009
They returned to the factory, seekers were in the sky, light out in patrol.
The group had sought to hide behind some ruins to avoid light.
More smoke had filled the sky, unable to know if it's day or night.
The group had moved closer to the entrance, where the seventh group had escaped from.
9: I'm going in.
5: I'm coming with you.
9: No. I need you to stay here.
Gensin hands 9 out the mirror, according to his plan.
9: If I don't make it back...
Destroy it.
9 then starts to head out, evading spotlights and seekers.
5: Wait! How...??
Gensin: Look.
Gensin points to a bunch of gasoline spills on the ground.
5 thought of a magnificent idea.
1: Well then, let's hear it. What's your "brilliant" scheme?
5 pulls out the match, and he smiles.
5: We'll need a full barrel.
———————————————————————
9 slowly makes his way inside, under a tunnel, small ticking sounds were present, big spider bots were in the area.
As he slowly went over to hide, someone was there.
It was Acker 15.
9: (Whispers) Hey!
Acker got the attention, 15 was a bit jumped.
Acker pointed to something. It was a cage, 2 was in it, along with 8 10.
9 was surprised and confused.
2 was fully awake, 8 is still tied up with his big mouth shut, and 10 was not awake.
But 7 wasn't there
2: (Whispers) Over here!
15: You're alive!
Acker: (Whispers) Quite!
15 covered her mouth, and 9 checks of any of the beasts heard them.
9: (Whispers) Listen, you need to get them out of here, I'll find 7.
Acker: (Whispers) On it!
As Acker 15 went on to try to get them out of the cage.
Something glowed out of him. He took out the mirror, and it started glowing.
He rushed to find 7 quickly, but he saw the machine the seamstress.
He hides behind a metal piece.
The seamstress is bowing. He is carrying a man covered in a sack, and the machine grabs him.
He started to struggle, pushing, as it gets closer to the eye, it closes.
Then, green light started to shine from the talisman, and it then opened up into three.
Then, fired at the eyes and mouth, an echo of screaming can be heard.
Then, as it was unalived, the machine drops the corpse, and green sparks are emitted from the arms and casing.
It lets out a roar of victory.
9 is disgustingly horrified. He then starts to think fast on how to save 7. He sees a pool of tar, sticks, and some fabric cutout.
———————————————————————
In the oil fields, Gensin 5 are gathering barrels full of oil.
Half of the guards looked out, and other pushed heavy barrels of oil.
They are struggling to keep them in numbers.
Gensin: We need something to push them all at once.
Like a cart or something.
1: This is ludicrous!
As Rena, Anastasia Jayni heard them, they decided to do something useful.
They went over to an old warehouse, and there is a minecart.
The two kids had their hands on it.
Jayni: Are you ready?
Rena: Go for it!
They pushed it, and as they reached a slope, it then started to slide down.
Rena: Incoming!
Gensin 5 turned around and had been pushed on the floor by the oncoming mine cart.
Gensin: Very funny.
Rena: I didn't do that.
She pointed as the two girls.
Gensin 5 were amused by the small ambush.
1: You could have killed them!
As they ignored him, they pile the barrels in the cart.
Then, they start pushing.
1: Like I said before, this is ludicrous!
As he helps them push the cart, there are sound of big footsteps.
12: Listen...
As 5 peaked to look, there were three Steel war behemoths, now activated by the creator.
5: The Machines.
Gensin saw them, remembering the past he now grows desperate.
Gensin: It's already begun... We must keep going!
They then pushed more heavily and avoid being spotted by seekers, and importantly, the behemoths.
———————————————————————
9 had finished a replica of himself, Acker 15 had slowly pry the bars big enough, with the help of 8, who 2 15 help Untie.
Figure: You.
9 others got startled, they looked around but nobody was there, 9 looks back at the site of murder.
The figure was there, with the seamstress.
Figure: I don't usually give orders for myself, but...
He grabs a dagger out of his skin.
Figure: 7 must be killed.
9 gasps, he then carries the replica and places the rope with a rock beside the gears.
The seamstress then takes out 7 from his inside, she struggles as she was tied up, the figure held the dagger high in the air, 7 sees the dagger, as she though she was done for.
9: HEY! OVER HERE!
The figure the seamstress turn sideways and see 9.
The figure puts away the dagger.
Figure: Get him.
The seamstress puts 7 back inside, then slithers over to where 9 is.
It sees what it thought was 9.
It then starts to tie it up with its needles, 9 was hiding beside broken gears.
As it hits the head, it oozes out tar, confusing the seamstress and sticking its arms onto it, then 9 runs to the other direction to get its attention.
The seamstress chases 9, letting the rope get tangled on the gears and pulling the replica and the seamstress back.
9 rushes back to the seamstress, jumping to the stomach and then slicing it open with a knife.
7 comes out of it, and 9 catches her.
The seamstress attempted to pull its arms out of the replica, it's face and insides are crushed by the turning of gears.
Its cloaks dropped to the floor.
The others, Acker, 15, 8, 10, 2, had left the factory.
2 carried 10 at his arms.
———————————————————————
The group continued to push the cart when they saw them coming out of the mine shaft.
5: They made it!
Acker: What is this?
Gensin: A gift.
Acker: 8, let's help them.
8 Acker started to push the cart, 2 still held onto 10, and she started to wake up.
10: What happened?
2: Don't worry, we're safe now, child.
He helps her stand up.
They then waited for 9 7 to come back.
5: Where are they?
1: It's been too long!
We have to do it NOW!
He tries to take the matchstick out of 5's backpack.
5: No! They need more time!
A large flash of light had been shined on the whole group, a seeker had spotted them, 5 takes out his crossbow and fires the grappling hook, it pierces the blimp, it starts to retreat, lifting 5 off the ground, 12 grabs him from behind to weigh him down.
Then large amounts of seekers were flying in, and the guards pointed their rifles at it.
5: Don't shoot!
The seeker gets close to the one who was caught, and they then start to pull, gensin grabs onto the rope, then 8, 15, 6, 2, 10, 3, 4, Rena, Acker and the guards started to pull the rope.
1 sees a tear of metal, and he ties the rope to the end of the barrel.
It stops the pull, causing the group to fall down.
Then 1 sees behemoths coming in their direction.
Acker grabs gensins shotgun as he gets up, then points it to the behemoths eye.
Gensin: Acker! Don't!
A gunshot was fired.
———————————————————————
The machine heard the gunshot from behind as he was fixing the behemoth.
He turns around to see 7 9, escaping the factory.
He growls in anger, and then a hundred spiderbots start to crawl towards the duo.
The figure notices, then runs after them.
———————————————————————
The behemoth is now blinded.
It started to fire in different directions, hitting its own kind and launching mortars, and it hits himself before collapsing.
The guards rushed to the other side and found an artillery.
They loaded a single round into it and aims.
Guard: OVER HERE!
The two behemoths turned around, the guards fired one shot, the behemoths head was shattered into pieces, and it then fell down.
The last behemoth started firing the machine gun, Acker took a barrel out, then pushed it off the slope.
It rolls under the behemoths feet.
As it was nearly stepped on, it slipped forward and landed on its face, crushing the gatling gun.
1 looks inside the tunnel, and large amounts of spiderbots were coming.
1: T-They're Coming!
He then rushed and snatched the matchstick out of 5'a backpack.
1 nearly lights it up.
5: No! Not yet!
1: Let go, you fool!!
As they were fighting over, the match 9 7 were running g quickly.
9: 5! We're coming!
5 now has the matchstick.
5: Now!
He lights one barrel on fire, then the whole group pushes the cart, then the barrels start to tumble down the tunnel, and it drags the seekers along with it.
7 shoves 9 out of the way of the barrels, then she jumps over the barrels.
The spiderbots were hit in large numbers, large enough for the figure to be piled up by them.
Then, the group went out of the way when the seekers were.
7 then grabs 9, she hold on to the knife and cuts through the blimp.
Then they were outside.
———————————————————————
The figure and spider bots have landed back to the ground.
Now covered in oil, and it covers the whole floor.
The flaming barrel lands in a pool of oil, and the whole building bursts into flames.
———————————————————————
The whole group then ran to the farthest safe spot.
The whole factory explodes from the inside, and the whole chimney had collapsed, leaving mass debris.
There was a small toolshed ahead.
The large red eye from the factory explodes.
As they whole group managed to get away, they turned around to see the factory in flames.
Now their problems are over.
7 rushes to see 3 4.
7: You're alright!
Where's 10?
10 was standing near 2, she goes over there and hugs her.
7: You're okay!
10: You're back. I'm sorry.
7: No, I'm sorry, it's okay, we're safe now.
8, 15, Acker had a small reunion, and 8 felt sad for what he did earlier.
8: Acker, 15, can I tell you something?
15: What is it?
8: About what happened before all this?
Acker: No need, you're sorry, right?
8: Yes.
15: Now, do you promise you won't do it again?
8: I promise.
Acker puts his hand out, and 8 shakes his hand.
15 on the other hand hugs him.
1 takes one look back at the factory.
1: Hmph, good riddance.
9 hands the mirror back to gensin, he now realizes the other talisman, he thinks to himself, maybe its better left destroyed.
5: It's done.
———————————————————————
As gensin had stopped remembering, about what had happened yesterday, the sun was rising above him.
Behind him, the group played a soundtrack from the phonograph, "somewhere over the rainbow", it was relaxing and beautiful.
As he held onto the mirror, Rena started to sit next to him.
Rena: What is this?
Gensin: I'm not sure, I think it's a piece for that thing that woke the machine.
It's gone now.
Rena pats him on the shoulder, they both started to smile.
Then a small music disc was sliding down the hill, 12 5 were rushing for it.
1 was also sitting far away from the rest of the group.
He watches the smouldering factory, remeniscing his actions and different outcomes.
He takes of his hat revealing his ridiculous "hair" pin.
9 7 were sitting down, 8 carried 6 towards a speaker, echoing "sound."
Gensin then lays down, he felt tired from all the things he did.
He closes his eyes and went to sleep.
