Elementals: Techno Wars

Communication Interrupted

Sub jumped up out of his seat in terror at what the video had just stated, but before he could warn Steve and Neos, he heard his front door get broken down downstairs, forcing him to immediately grab his keys and head downstairs to his garage. Although, as he was making his way down the stairs, he stepped into the living room, which is the room the staircase rested inside, and noticed that while the front door was broken down, there was no sign of anyone in the house, which would confuse him before he became reminded of the fact that the new Null blueprints stated that cloaking technology was included in their upgrades. Without wasting another second, Sub took a sharp left off of his staircase, going through the doorway that led into his marbled kitchen and rushing to the gray door that it held, but just as he rested his hand on the door knob to open it, he would have his hand be grabbed by an invisible hand, which would reveal itself to be the hand of a jet black Null robot. The new and improved robot wouldn't give Sub a chance to snap out of his state of terror, as it kicked Sub in the gut, launching him through his kitchen wall and back into the living room and onto the staircase, addling him for a moment. Immediately, the Null robot attempted to curb stomp Sub, who was still laying on the stairs, but the blue haired individual dodged the attack, managing to leap out of the way just in time. This turned out to be more than a good thing, as when Sub turned around, he noticed that the Null robot had stomped through the stairs, as well as the flooring, trapping it for the moment. Without wasting another second, Sub began to use his Alpha abilities to freeze the robot in place, which actually managed to work, giving him enough time to make his way to his garage and leave in the dark blue sports car that was his vehicle. As soon as he had managed to get within a reasonable distance from his home, he attempted to use the contact linked communication system that was a prominent feature on his car, and he would immediately pull up Steve's contact and try to get ahold of him; however, as soon as the call began, it was declined, confirming what Grimmus had stated in his video: there was only one person now in control of almost everything, and that person was Herobrine.

Sub: Shit, shit, shit! This had to have been planned... This is too convenient of timing... I have to get to Steve and Neos quickly... We need to be together if we wanna stand a chance against those new bots...

As Sub continued making his way towards Jackson Park, Steve was awaiting his time to go on stage and give his speech; all the while Neos had just finished his trip to Infinity Tower, only to walk inside the ground floor and see that no one was there. As a matter of fact, not even the lights were on. As ominous of a setting as this was, Neos blew it off, assuming that there had to have been some out there explanation for the frightening mood that the tower seemed to be giving off. After pressing the up button on the wall, the elevator opened, granting him permission to step inside of it's confines. After proceeding to press the button labeled fifty, the doors closed and went on to launch him up to the fiftieth floor. Once the elevator had stopped and the doors had opened, Neos stepped out to see a pitch black room in which you couldn't see two feet in front of you.

Neos: Uhhh, Grimmus? You here, man? You said to meet you here, after all.

Before Neos could call out for Grimmus again, he began to feel as though he wasn't the only one in the room, and so, he swiftly turned around to face who he could almost sense closing in on him through the darkness, only to be greeted by a force identical to what Sub had met just a moment prior: another Null robot. The robot met Neos' face with a punch into one of the window walls that surrounded the room, and noticing that it began to crack after the impact, Neos attempted to get off of it; however, the Null robot was too quick for Neos to act on this realization, for it ran towards Neos, jumped off of it's feet and used both of it's feet to kick Neos in the chest, which would send him flying out the window. What the robot didn't notice, though, was that Neos was wearing Ava's bracelet, which he would use to fathom a grappling hook around his wrist. Without a moment of hesitation, Neos shot the hook that was now attached to his wrist into one of the windows, which would barely save him from his free falling demise, as he swayed over to the side of the building so he would have something to place his feet on. As he looked down, he noticed that he was still about thirty stories or so up from the ground, and only hoped that the robot wouldn't think to check if he fell all the way down.

Neos: Well... I gotta admit, Ava, when I said I was going to improve your bracelet, I didn't think this would be how the test run would go. Speaking of, what the hell was that thing; and why did it pack such a big punch? I need to get ahold of Steve.

Neos did just as Sub had tried to do, and put in an earpiece that he grabbed from his pocket and attempted to call Steve, with Neos commanding the earpiece to dial up his brother's number, but upon beginning the call, the line would hang up after just half of a ring, which made Neos more fearful than confused.

Neos: What the hell? Why won't this thing work? This isn't good... I have to get to Steve.

Before long, Neos began to hear some static in his earpiece, which would be followed by a certain blue-haired individual's voice shortly after.

Sub: Neos? Neos, are you there?
