Elementals: Techno Wars

Desire for Power

Frozen in shock, the Elementals stared down the largest screen they could see, as if to stare down Herobrine himself; meanwhile, Herobrine was unable to do anything but laugh maniacally.

Herobrine: Hahahahahahaha! My, my, how things have changed.

Steve: Herobrine...

Sub: What did you do with Grimmus you creep?!

Herobrine: Creep? With how smart you are, Sub, that's the best you could come up with? I'm disappointed. Grimmus is fine, don't worry. He's simply in timeout, locked away in the top floor of Infinity Tower, so if you were hoping to get to him, I'm afraid you'll be unable to execute such a plan.

Steve: How are you even still alive?! I killed you!

Herobrine: You did kill me, you're right, but I guess that's just the beauty of the multiverse... It can make the impossible.. possible.

Neos: What the hell does that mean?!

Herobrine: When I was killed by Steve, I saw nothing but black, but after awhile, I came back to. The only issue was that I no longer had my body, powers, anything. All I could see now was code; code fit for corruption. Luckily, Grimmus, the "smartest man in the multiverse," was unable to notice me until TerraPrime City was already constructed which, by then, it was too late to do anything about it. So, I had him begin development on the blueprints for the newly designed Null robots that you see before you, as well as a little something extra for myself.

Sub: You mean the energy draining system?

Herobrine: Hehe, now there's the on point blue hair I know; very impressive. Yes, you're correct. The energy draining system is a system that was able to be created thanks to the assistance of the DNA strand that Grimmus had digitally stored from Jack. I gotta admit, for the guy to be dead, he still finds a way to be useful to me-

Steve: Stop talking! What? You think Jack was just some pawn to you?! He may have went about things the wrong way, but... But he was still a far better parent than you could've ever been.

Herobrine: Ouch. I dare say that one got me in the feels. Ya know, Steve, you can say some awfully hurtful things.

Steve: Like hell if I care. Your feelings mean about as much to me as the dirt on my shoe, so as far as I see it, you can go ahead and get your little bot friends ready, because if it's a fight you want, then it's a fight you're gonna get!

Herobrine: Hehehehehehehe... Hahahahahahaha! So quick to rush things... I'm glad to see that nothing's changed with you, Steve, honestly. But, you misunderstand. I don't want to fight.

Steve: You don't?

Herobrine: No, not at all. As a matter of fact, I don't desire too much. I just want one thing, that's all.

Steve: Then what the hell is it you want?

Herobrine: Don't you see? I just want your power!

Having been given the command to attack, the Null robots began to slowly close in on the encircled trio as the three males began to think of a plan.

Steve: Do I need to hit 'em again with my powers?

Sub: No, that wouldn't be a very good idea. It's like Grimmus' blueprints stated: they're made to absorb Delta energy, which means that your power only makes them stronger.

Steve: Then how do we fight them?

Sub: We don't. We need to find a way to get you out of the city. Then, we need to figure out a way to take him out.

Neos: Well, in case you haven't noticed, I don't think he's just gonna let us leave!

Sub: Well, we have to try anyway, because the fact is that nowhere in this city is safe as long as he's in the mainframe. Neos, get to scanning the area, and figure out a way we can get out of here.

Being commanded to do so, Neos started gazing upon the battlefield that surrounded them and noticed a quick fix to their current problem.

Neos: Alright, if we can pull this off, we can get out of here safely, but if I'm being honest, that's a big if.

Steve: It's fine, bro, whatcha got?

Neos: There's a bunch of sewer lines that run under the city, and they all connect in an area just a few buildings down from here. If we can get there, we can escape through them. The tough part, though, is gonna be getting there.

Steve: We can do it. Here's what we'll do. Neos, you use your Omega powers to cause a miniature earthquake right where we're standing. Sub, you freeze them in place while they're being shaken up by the earthquake. That's when we'll make a break for it. You guys good with that?

Sub: At this point, Steve, no idea seems terrible, so count me in.

Neos: Yeah, me too.

Steve: Alright. Let's do this.

The three individuals put their plan into motion, with Neos punching the ground, causing a very tiny earthquake that was limited to just the park around them, and as the robots began their attempts in regaining balance, Sub began to freeze them all in place, hoping to hold them for awhile. Not allowing anymore time to be wasted, Steve, Neos and Sub all darted out of the park, hoping to reach the sewer lines that were just a few buildings away, as Neos had previously mentioned; however, the robots had already begun to break out of the ice with Herobrine commanding them to catch the Elementals.

Herobrine: Stop them! Don't let them leave this city!

Respecting the order from their master, the Null bots, with all of them having been broken free from the ice, began their charge towards the Elementals, with the space in between them being quickly closed due to the rocket boosters that were built into the robots. Just as the gap between the two groups seemed to be closing off completely, the Elementals had managed to make it to the sewer lines, with them being unable to think about how to go about their next moves, until Steve blurted out his own command.

Steve: Jump!
