We Are Humans

Chapter 20 Back Home

Rambunctious music blares through the sky, as an aircraft flies by. Heading towards The Deadzone, it dives down from its high altitude, coming low to the ground with its booming music and intense vibrations shaking the specs of dirt and little trees near it. It slowly pulls up to the entrance of the cave, cutting the engines simultaneously with the music. The door quickly opens and a figure steps out...

Zaine: "Finally! My ears must be bleeding after being trapped in that metal box, with that loud ass music blasting the entire ride here, Judy!"

Judy: "Oh calm down, it wasn't that loud... Right Big C?"

Big C: "I turn my auditory sensors off whenever you say the words 'that's my shit... Raise that bitch up' So I can not agree or deny that statement"

Zaine: "The entire car was shaking Judy... Of course, it was too loud... Extremely loud..."

Judy: "Shaking? That was just old pearl vibing to the music... Right girl? See she said hell yeah, you just being a bitch Zaine, like always"

Zaine: 'We're lucky that old thing didn't shake itself loose in the air with all the vibrations. Anyway, it's good to be back, can't believe we didn't find anything on the way back to gift Axel... Now, what am I gonna give him?"

Judy: "Well speak for yourself bub, I found the perfect gift..."

Zaine: "What? I thought you said you didn't see anything good, just trash in the areas you searched?"

Judy: "Yeah... Well I lied so you couldn't come over and steal my idea for a gift"

Big C: "I also got him a present"

Zaine: "What?! You too?!"

Big C: "Yes, I also did not want theft upon my choice of a gift"

Zaine: "This is madness! I can't be the only one to show up without a gift! Damn you two!"

Judy laughs as she and Big C walk towards the entrance of the cave. Zaine throws his arms up into the air and smacks his forehead as he grinds his teeth. 

Zaine: "Dammit I need to find something to get the kid. Can't have those two outdo me. But anyway it's good to be back... Back home"

The three of them go down into the bunker,  Judy shouting the names of the others at the top of her lungs. 

Judy: "Fe!!!!! Axel!!!!!! We're back! Scrap!? Cu!?"

Zaine: "That's strange, Axel normally comes bursting from the bunker the moment he hears us return."

Judy: "Not even the dog came... Where are they?"

Zaine: "Fe?! Axel?!"

As they reach the large open hall of the bunker, they see Robin standing before them tending to the plants. She turns around, facing them as Judy rushes towards her embracing her with a tight hug, squeezing herself onto Robin's new titanium body.

Judy: "I love the new body girl! Ouuu it's cold... Literally. Is that legit all quality titanium? Where did you get your hands on something like this?!"

Zaine: "Where are the others Fe?"

Robin: "My name is now Robin, Axel convince me to give myself a more human name. A name of my choosing rather than using what I was made to be... Now I am different from every Fe8890 out there, I am special"

Judy: "That's great... Robin, I like it"

Robin: "It is the name of the radio host whose voice is on the recordings of my radio box that I use to speak"
