•Y/N's POV•

I watched the show from behind the stage. I had never thought out inventions would make it this far. To think I started out building mini-microwaves in my garage.

Suddenly, Mark threw PAL aside for almost no reason. I hadn't gone over his performance with him before but I wasn't sure if that was part of the plan. I hadn't really got to talk to PAL much even though I was her Co-Creator but she and Mark had seemed really close. So why was he throwing her aside like garbage..?

I decided I would talk to him about it later and continued to watch. After Mark had displayed the kill code, the two robots out on stage suddenly looked at each other and nodded. Was that a part of their programming that Mark had added in without her noticing?

The robot's face-screens turned into sparks of pink and blackened glitching. The stage screen was the same. Mark looked back to the technician nervously. She was experiencing the same problem.

"Haha all part of the show!" Mark lied nervously. One of the robots lifted up a car and blocked the exit with it. Mark reached up towards the robot to activate the kill code, but the bot pushed him aside. "Everyone please remain calm while we capture you." The bot spoke. The crowd began to realize it wasn't part of the show.

I looked out at the stage. There were two robots. If I went out there and helped Mark then we could outnumber them and activate the kill code.

I grabbed a nearby hammer and ran onstage. "HEY YOU TWO!" I yelled. The two turned back to face me. I gripped the hammer a bit tighter. "WHY DON'T YOU ATTACK SOMEONE WHO CAN ACTUALLY FIGHT BACK?"

Mark turned back to me. "Hey I can fight a couple of robots!" He protested. I rolled my eyes at the comment. "Sure you can bud."

One of the robots suddenly lunged at me. I smashed the hook-like end of my hammer into the robots screen, shattering it, then threw it to the floor. I smashed it another time before the other one came and restrained me. "GET OFF ME YOU B__TCH!" I yelled at it, trying to wiggle free. "Please do not resist us." The robot spoke.

Mark was still free on the floor just doing nothing. "COULD YOU BE HELPFUL FOR ONCE?!" I snapped. "AH- Right!" Mark grabbed the hammer I had dropped at swung it at the robot with full force. The robot however, dodged the hammer.

"Not this time human." It restrained Mark as well. It dragged us on the floor leaving its former companion behind.
