While Elio is still busy and trying his best to solve all of the codes, Onyx and Obsidian have no idea of what they need to do.

For sure both of them know exactly what is going to happen next.

Based on how this robot looks, totally covered with weapons, it is assigned to eliminate both of them.

"A sudden survival game?" Onyx talks with herself irritatedly.

They are hiding behind different pillars but their distance is not that far.

As the robot stops moving forward, the gate behind it starts to close.

Right after the gate totally closes, the lights in the room start to dim but not pitch black which both of them still can see.

The room suddenly has red square patterns on the floor and the roof as well.

Same goes with the robot, it looks like the scanner turns on its head to detect both of their movements.

Onyx is still observing the whole room but suddenly gets interrupted by Obsidian who is calling her quietly.

"Got any idea?" He whispers to Onyx.

"I can be the bait for it. You can look for the right angle and time to strike it down." Onyx replies to his question.

However Obsidian seems doesn't like the idea that he got from Onyx.

"It will be better if you are the one who does it. I'm bad at looking for a chance to get in." Obsidian says, trying to give a reason for Onyx to switch position with him.

But from what Obsidian just said, Onyx figures that out it's ridiculous.

From their previous work together, Obsidian always comes at the right time to save the team who went inside the safe room.

Besides, there is a personal reason why Onyx keeps doing these.

"All this time, I'm always the one who is in the team that gets into the safe room. You're the one that comes to help us if anything goes wrong. How can you say that?" Onyx says with an raised eyebrow, like she is trying to interrogate Obsidian.

"Ahh.. shibal.." Obsidian cursed irritatedly at himself that he just digs his own grave with that kind of excuse.

"What?" Onyx asks as she looks at Obsidian confusedly because he just slightly slaps his face.

"No, just.. I think it would be better if we switch positions." Obsidian replies nervously right after he gets asked.

Too fast that only makes Onyx feel irritated at how he is behaving right now.

Not only that, she also feels like Obsidian is still not trusting her after what they have done together.

"You don't trust me, huh?" Onyx says suddenly with a bit louder voice and anger on it.

On the other hand, Obsidian never thought that her reaction would turn out to be like this.

Yep, he screwed up so badly that it made the situation worse than before.

Obsidian needs to find something to say that could make the situation better.

Thankfully, he realizes one of their conditions that they need to face the robots.

"This time, we don't have anything to defend ourself. You always have at least a knife on you, right? In our previous missions." Obsidian says, once again trying to be more reasonable and less suspicious than before.

From that, Onyx finally comes to realize what he just said is correct and starts scanning the room once again as looking for anything they could use.

Seems like this time Obsidian's reason is being considered by Onyx and he takes this chance to confirm their position would be switched.
