That One Worker Drone

Chapter Fourteen: Overly Dramatic Chase Sequence

A POV

"Let's check out the colony." G figured as we took off after him. Kane was missing, and we figured that he might have been taken by the 'task force'. Arriving there, we noticed a hint of light coming from the side of the building and saw an expertly-cut hole. Kane was once here, and we were diving down to check it out. Inside was a pair of worker drones, who looked interested to see us.

"Lemme guess, you want to know where Kane is." One of them said, already preparing her response.

"Yeah, we do- wait you know where Kane went?" L asked, interested.

"Yeah, he went out of here, and over that way." The other one said, pointing towards a spire of corpses.

Immediately, what appeared to be a jeep sped past the gang, followed by three murder drones chasing it.

"That's probably Kane," I said as I started to chase the gang. The others soon followed, and we were soon chasing three other drones, who were chasing Kane in a sort of truck. A dark building soon blocked the road, and Kane had to make a decision. He could tell that the building was more of a semicircle, and made his decision.

Murder Drone POV

I hope that worker drone does not drive ON the building!

L, G, and A POV

Please tell me Kane isn't going to drive ON the building...

Kane POV

Well, it's time to drive ON the building!

G POV

In a second, Kane partially ramped off of a moving van and started driving on the building. The glass panes shattered, sending shards of tinted glass onto both groups of drones. All of us fell into the building, destroying every piece of furniture in there. We started fighting instantly, weaponizing shattered computers and collapsed furniture. A and L took off out of the building, followed by me, followed by the other drones. We were shocked to see Kane taking off in a propeller plane and immediately got on with him.

"KANE- YOU COULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN A BETTER PLANE!?" I heard L yell in horror.

"THE WINDOWS ARE SHATTERED-" Kane yelled back as bullets started raining down on the plane. "I'LL NEED SOME COVER FIRE!"

A and I immediately went to the wings and started shooting at the drones, who were now the equivalent of fighter jets. Kane soon yelled for us to come in, and as we did, Kane immediately pulled on a lever, sending the plane into a steep climb.

"Kane, the plane is going to stall at this rate!" I yelled, to which Kane assured me that this was completely intentional. He soon sent the plane in a dive, and pulled at the last second, nearly sending the drones into the ground. A and L got out and started shooting as well. I sat in the copilot seat and strapped in.

"Hey G, do you see that tunnel over there?" Kane asked me, clearly preparing for going into the tunnel.

"Yeah- KANE NO-" I replied, making Kane resolve to just do several barrel rolls.

"Kane! We need an insane maneuver, and we need it now!" A said as he and L got back inside and sat down.

"Alright, ask and you shall receive!" Kane replied as he told me the plan. Soon, Kane turned the plane around, and I banked 180 degrees. Kane yanked the throttle beyond the 'overdrive' setting and ended the turn. We were now upside down, much to the horror of L and A, and charging straight at the opposing drones, who immediately dove out of the way.

"Mind if I call in a favour?" I asked, with Kane allowing me to. I pulled out a mild grenade and threw it down to a familiar building.

Stacey POV

Why does it sound like a destructive fight is occurring out there? I got up from my bed, walked up to the second floor, and peeked outside. I was shocked to see L, and A shooting a group of murder drones on a plane, and Kane and G flying said plane. I immediately grabbed Kane's minigun, headed to the window and fired it up.

Kane POV

"G, what did you just do?" I asked, to which a series of bright white beams started appearing behind the plane. "G, we have to keep a constant speed or Stacey might accidentally shoot the plane down! We also need to conserve fuel, who knows how long this will be?!"

"This also means we need to be in a small area for Stacey to see her target with pinpoint accuracy!" G countered, immediately circling the plane around and down, eliminating the chance of Stacey shooting the fuselage apart. "Do you feel like we are being watched?"

"What," I replied, extremely confused.

??? POV

The scene at NASA HQ was unexplainable. Their probes were transmitting live footage of a human on Copper 9! One who was holding a modified minigun providing cover fire to three murder drones who were chasing a propeller plane with a worker drone and three other murder drones inside it!

The world was shocked at the finding out that the planet they had abandoned decades ago had a live human on it. A human that managed to make Murder Drones and Worker Drones co-operate!

Immediately, an emergency meeting was held between world leaders, who agreed to do everything in their power to get in contact with that human. The feed from the probe was broadcasts around the globe, meaning eight billion people were watching the carnage on Copper 9.

Back at 'the carnage on Copper 9'/L POV

I and the gang's directional sensors were starting to get distorted, forcing Kane to stop the maneuver. The beams from Kane's minigun being operated by Stacey finally hit one of the drones, who exploded in a fiery ball, sending the other two off-balance, causing one of them to accidentally knock the other one into the fuselage, where I and A ripped the drone apart inside. The third drone went for the cockpit but got decapitated by the propeller. With all three threats gone, Kane circled for a landing, a low fuel alarm sounding as they landed on the ground. It was more of a crash landing, but everyone survived unscathed.

An overjoyed Stacey, followed by a glowing-red minigun dropped to the ground, the former immediately hugging all of us.

"That was some GREAT flying! I cannot believe how many bullets you two fired!" Stacey congratulated, leading us inside to sit down. We needed a break, and maybe a barrel of oil. Either way, we survived, and we earned a break...

"Are we being watched?" G, A, and Kane suddenly asked, which made me feel the feeling as well.
