Chapter 5

[Following the Mitchel Family, 3rd person]

The Mitchells ran across the mall, being chased by fridges and other houseware. "GRAB ANYTHING THAG DOESN'T HAVE A CHIP!" Rick yelled. He grabbed a tennis racket but it had a chip too.

A drone came behind Katie. It was about to attack when suddenly a gunshot could be heard and the drone fell the the ground. Katie looked around to see where it had come from. She didn't see any human so she continued running.

The family hid out in a toy store. All the appliances ran past the store. The Mitchells let out a sigh of relief.

Their relief was interrupted by a strange chuckle coming from the back of the shop. "What was that..?" Aaron asked a hint of fear in his voice. "Uh hold on a second." Rick said lighting a match to get a better look at their surroundings. At the very back of the store were hundreds of Furbies. "What a Furby?" Aaron asked again.

One of the furbies opened its eyes and made a creepy laugh. "Well that's haunting" Linda muttered. The Mitchells stepped outside of the store. All of the sudden there were furbies everywhere laughing. One of them chirped to the other. It looked like it was about to fall.

"Hold the attack!" A voice commanded. The furbies shifted their attention to where the voice had come from. The family followed their gaze. On the top floor of the mall stood a hooded figure. They held a hammer and looked sorta mysterious.

"I've watched them their whole time here and they obviously aren't a threat." They grunted. One of the furbies near them squeaked. "Don't worry about the robots, they're defiantly defective. If they were normal they would've captured the intruders by now."

The figure disappeared from view for a minute and then reappeared behind the family. "Greetings." They said. Katie jumped from surprise. She looked behind her at the figure. "Oh uh hi!" She greeted. "Why are you here?" The figure asked. "Oh well, we're inserting the kill code to this computer and saving the world!" Katie smiled. The figure was silent for a second. "Cool."

"Anyways, your welcome to stay here for a while. I do have one condition though." They informed. "Oh yeah sure what is it?" Katie asked a bit excitedly.

"Give me the laptop." They extended their hand. "What why?!" Katie jerked the laptop away from the stranger's reach. "Kid do you trust me?" They asked. "What no!! I don't even know your name!!!" Katie yelled.

"Alright well let's fix that. My name is Y/n L/n, what about you?" Katie relaxed a tiny bit. "My name is Katie Mitchell- WAIT Y/N L/N AS IN THE CO-FOUNDER OF PAL LABS?!" Katie's face lit up. "Yeah I guess." Y/N shrugged. "So what are you gonna do? Hack into the system and take out Pal right now?" Katie asked excitedly. "Well no, I'm just going to keep it safe." Y/N kept their hand out. This time, Katie handed them the laptop without question.

Y/N then gave the laptop to one of the furbies. "Take this somewhere safe." They commanded. The furby followed the command and waddled away with the laptop in it's beak. Y/n handed a piece of paper to another furby. The furby went to a group of other furbies and handed them the paper. The furbies began to chirp to each other.

"Anyway, I suppose we should do something while we wait for the upload. It might take while since the internet is so slow." Y/n suggested. "Oh well the estimated time was 8 minutes-" Katie said. "Never trust the estimated time." Y/n muttered.

There was a short silence.

"Well if the computers gonna take a while then maybe we should get some food." Linda said breaking the silence. "Oh yeah good idea mom I'm starving."

The family made their way over to the food court and grabbed some of the untouched food. Y/n stood a small distance away from where everyone was and was doing something with the furbies.

[Y/n's Pov]

I kept looking behind me, checking to see if I was being followed. Each time I looked back I saw them all sitting in the food court eating. Why was I so paranoid? Was it the robots?

Suddenly one of the furbies handed me a peice of paper. 'c0m3 to meetIng' it read. I followed it to a group of them. They were all squeaking to eachother. "Uh what did you guys need me for?" I asked. I was handed another peice of paper. 'the Iapt0p' it said. "What about the laptop?" I asked again. 'dangEr' I was confused for a second. Then it hit me. If the uprising ended and everything went back to normal, the elder furby would be shut down and the cult would be separated. "Well, what are we supposed to do about it?" I sighed.

Wow it's been way too long since I last updated. I wasn't kidding about the waiting another eternity thing.

Again, I'm sorry for the wait. At least this time I have a decent sized chapter. Thank you for all your support! I really appreciate it.

And as always, have an amazing day!
