"On second thought, you're way hotter than Doll, run idiot!"

Doll's hand displayed the Solver's symbol, hundreds of lines of code scrolling downwards as she pointed the increasingly red symbol at V. An invisible blast of code shot forward, hitting V. Immediately, two metal rods burst out of the stage floor, impaling both of V's arms.

Your eyes widened as you saw it happen. Forming your arm cannon, the gun whirred to life, charging up with a whining noise. The noise caught Doll's attention, who turned around and waved her hand in a quick motion. Almost instantaneously, a metal rod burst from underneath you, stabbing through your cannon. Grumbling, you pulled away from the metal rod, tearing the cannon in half along with your hand. Oil spilled out, to your irritation. However, the nanobots pulled your hand back together. Once again, a calming effect flowed over you. Seeing your efforts not go to waste felt...good.

"Вы действительно встанете на сторону дронов-убийц? Я знаю, что ваша семья была убита ими." Doll muttered.

The nanites formed a shoulder machine gun, others turning into ammunition to fire. The noise of bullets firing filled the room, but Doll waved her hand again, this time the symbol being some sort of circle. Without an explanation, the bullets curved around her as she walked forward. Understandably, you were shocked.

Without warning, Doll made a beckoning sign, pulling down two of the old fans from the ceiling. They spun faster and faster with the two circle symbols, suddenly launching forward. Your eyes hollowing out, you instinctively formed a shield hiding behind it. The two fans impacted it, more of a kinetic force than a slice. The fans surprisingly being more heavy than you estimated, you used the nanites in your shoulder gun to strengthen your shield. It pushed you back onto the floor, launching you back a few feet.

"Holy crap, what is she doing?" Uzi said.

This isn't what I expected at all!" N exclaimed. "I guess we should..?"

"Ugh!"

Two rods burst out of the floor again, impaling both of your legs. You were unable to move. She pulled a third one from the ceiling, this time not even trying to spin it, as you watched, eyes glaring. She threw it, the symbol this time being the Solver's, turning back to V. It raced forward, not stopping as the sound of air moving out of the way reached your audio receptors. As it got nearer and nearer, N got in front of you, kicking it out of the way. Uzi jumped upwards, flinging one of her knives she got from...somewhere. Doll remained unfazed as another symbol appeared, this time a hexagon in a circle, deflected the knife easily.

"I could have fixed myself from that. Your concern is V, not me." You said, pulling yourself from the metal rods forcefully, tearing through your legs. For a moment you stumbled, but the nanobots formed new parts, making you stand upright.

"Узи, ты тоже? Вы оба действительно встанете на сторону дронов-убийц? Я не единственный, кто потерял семью из-за них."

"Bite me! Whoever started this wants us to fight. I'm not dealing with anyone well, but I'm done dealing with anyone alone." Uzi said, looking at N and you. It's almost like she was the main character of a show, giving a motivational speech. Too bad it wouldn't work for you. You lost pride as an emotion years ago as your condition worsened.

"We move together, or not at all."

"Как мило, но мне твоя помощь не нужна."
