90: Arcade in the heart of the city: Memory restarter

C:

Tim thought right there and then that his soul would exit his body, he was incredibly intimidated by the tall figure in front of him, although the sight of Inferno was somewhat musing.

Poldara's pleading was the final stab to the angelic's heart. Seeing the entity cry, it nearly made Tim's own tears resurface.

He remotely took the dragon plushy, not knowing what exactly to do with it—he never had toys when he was younger—he pushed it into Kiara's arms before taking a deep breath and walking closer to the animatronic.

-"Hey, but I-" Kiara protested, then turned her head to Hayden and yeeted it at him. "Catch!"

Timothy stood trembling right under Inferno's snout, then outstretching his arm he placed a palm on the now-closed chest hatch.

-"Nighty Night." He gazed upon the metallic dragon, the contours of his irises lit a neon blue as a ring of magic pulsated, the energy coursed through the animatronics's system.

Inferno's eyes dimmed and the quiet roaring of the motor faded.

The boy made a few circular motions with his hand, crafting and opening what would have been a virtual screen. After flipping it horizontally, a sphere popped into view, along with a multitude of small rectangles with various pictograms.

-"Come on, where is it?!" The boy muttered to himself as he kept scrolling, adding, and erasing tags with possible dates and information which included the dimension's number. Frustration was beginning to bubble within.

Cherry and Hatter both positioned themselves to hold Inferno up while the operation was undergoing.

-"Um, Inferno just mentioned that people who are caught sabotaging tech—robots or security devices—can be given criminal charges," Luz observed," Hatts, what you are doing is basically against the law, you know that right."

Tim grumbled something as he kept scrolling and tapping.

-"I don't care. Honestly, it is the least of my concerns right now." He uttered with a dry chuckle, "I am not rewiring or reprogramming her, I'm only giving her back the data erased from the hard drive ... I will completely assume the consequences of my actions."

Kiara then elbowed her sister and pointed out in a know-it-all manner:

-"Magic is energy, it can't be recorded by footage, it's like trying to touch air. So we're chill. The security department must be going wild right now though.."

-"Oh? Why is that?" Luz looked down at Kiara with curiosity.

-"All the camera's recordin' sees is Harold's butt."

Cherry snickered at the thought of it, but as she glanced in the general direction of one of the security cameras she saw that indeed there was a silhouette of a large bug wiggling up there.

-"D-done." Timothy exclaimed as he dropped a file in the memory box to save it.

Once the hologram melted away he gave a few gentle taps on the animatronic's chest plate, the energy momentarily returned.

-"Please work, p-please." He quietly whispered as he distanced himself.

At first, when Timothy turned on Inferno she spasmed slightly like she was experiencing a glitch before falling to the ground. Poldara nearly screamed, thinking that Tim just broke the robotic dragon more, but then it seemed to make a groaning noise.

The dragon slowly sat up and held her head, it was already apparent that something was different, she didn't move as clunky as before nor acted overly cheerful and perky, she actually seemed more like a living creature who woke up from hibernation. Her eyes flashed a couple of times as her system was trying to reboot itself from whatever it just experienced.
