Behind Blood Red Eyes (Murder Drones x male reader)

Episode 2 : Heartbeat Part 2

Within an isolated area of the bunker, the lights flicker as the worker drone that last spoke to Frank walks by, but stops upon noticing something. Looking into the adjacent hallway, he sees the missing robot, though something seems off with him. However, the glasses-wearing machine doesn't appear to notice this as he starts talking, "Ladderbot5000? We looked everywhere for you." After a bit of silence, the oddly translucent robot screams before abruptly acting 'normally', "Hello Tim. Care to join me?"

"Join you, standing eerily still over there in suspiciously low resolution?" The strange robot doesn't respond for a few seconds, pondering over the other's question, "Yes?" Giving at first his co-worker a suspicious look, Tim then unsuspectingly walks towards Frank and says, "Alright."

Unfortunately for him, as soon as he enters the corridor, a mechanical arm resembling that of a mantis creeps down from the ceiling and impales the worker drone before pulling him up through the hole it came from. Hanging on to the sides of the gap, the android desperately tries to escape, but a large, clawed humanoid hand grabs his head and yanks him into the darkness. As oil gushes from the hole, a head resembling a security camera drops down, its lens has a light at the center. Opening its singular eye wide, it creates a hologram of its newest victim and makes it speak, "Flawless character acting me." It then forces the other to respond while it drags the fallen remains into the ceiling, "Improv game for more practice?" The unseen machine then responds to itself, laughing as it puppeteers its illusions, "We are a monster."

======================================

As the monster continues racking up bodies within the walls, outside the colony, N arrives at the entrance while carrying Uzi, (Y/N), and Thad, though the landing is pretty rough due to the number of passengers, "Everyone good?" The other three machines groan in response to N's question. As Uzi gets up she glares at (Y/N), "(Y/N)! You have wings! Why didn't you fly here?!" Shaking the snow off himself, the machine looks annoyed as he responds to the worker drone, "Because, I don't know how to use them, Uzi!"

All four walk over to the massive door, and Thad knocks on it, causing the WDF member on the other end to ever so slightly open it, "Welcome back Thad..." The worker drone then interrupts himself upon noticing Uzi, "Wait; isn't she grounded or something?" Hearing this, the short teen groans in frustration before yelling, "Banished! Has my dad been saying I'm grounded?!"

Paying no attention to Uzi's outburst, the worker drone turns his attention to (Y/N), "Hey, your mom's been looking for you." Growling, the drone's eyes flash red as he begins speaking, venom lacing every word, "You can tell Kira to forget about finding me. I don't want to see her, or hear what she has to say."

Pulling away slightly, the WDF member nods at (Y/N)'s demand before finally addressing N, "Genocide robot?" Realizing that the android is talking about him, the murder drone looks shyly and regretfully at the ground while approaching the door, he then passes a crudely made card saying 'I'm sorry.' Taking the time to read it, the worker drone looks back up smiling, "Oh, alright. Just don't do it again. Get in here ya goobs." N gains a delighted expression at the news while the worker places the card on the door.

======================================

As the four drones are given access to the bunker, back in the area of the attack, the entire corridor has become a crime scene, with one worker drone taking pictures of the massacre, while another wearing sunglasses and holding a coffee mug walks in before looking up at the hole in the ceiling. The one with the camera looks at her while crouching over the destroyed drone, "Yeah, where's Khan? 'Cause this looks uh... non-ideal."

The other bends down and takes off her sunglasses to look at the scene, before putting them back on and responding to his question, "Parent-teacher conference. Something about his daughter being more important than building a door in this hallway. Kinda cringe." As she's talking, neither she nor her co-workers notice Uzi, (Y/N), N, and Thad peaking into the hallway behind them. Unfortunately for the short girl, she overhears everything the camera carrier says next, "Ew, yeah. Oh, give me a minute. Ah yeah ok, almost threw up."
