"V, come on!" N to the female disassembly drone, the latter switching her hands to blades before she charged at the Sentinel with the crimson eyes. The robotic raptor switched the severed disassembly drone's hand to a blade as well before it went in for a slash of its own.

The blades clashed before V leap behind the Sentinel, switching a blade to a gun and fired at it. The robot raptor retaliates by swinging its tail at V but she grabs hold of it with a grin before she throws it towards the elevator.

The Sentinel tries to reach out for the severed disassembly drone arm but stopped when V aimed a kind of laser blaster at it, its muzzle emitting a yellow glow.

V smirks triumphantly before her eyes widen, hollowing out, when she saw another Sentinel approaching the proximity reader before it ripped off the monitor, thus making the elevator rise.

The Sentinel then turned its gazed to N and V, the former turning his head behind him, before it attempted to flash them into a bootloop, the two drones quickly looking away but the sudden turn of direction caused the glasses V was wearing to fall off.

Before long, more Sentinels began emerging, one crushing the glasses under its foot. This is bad.

"Hey, N, uhh..?" she started, worriedly, N shaking his head.

"No, no, no! V, we need you!" male disassembly drone cried out. V ponders to herself, the Sentinels took out the proximity reader and the elevator is rising up. She could cut off the cables and hop on but what's going to stop the Sentinels from going after them? They'll need something to distract these things while they head down there. But there was nothing to use that would catch their interest.

Which means she is left with no choice.

"Nah. Uzi..."

The purple eyed worker drone weakly looked at V as her purple eyes glitched yellow. V raises the blaster as the muzzle started glowing again.

"I trust you." those were the last words she spoke with a smile before she fired her weapon on the elevator cables.

"V, PLEASE!" N pleaded but V didn't listen. Instead, she gave them a salute as her farewell to him and Uzi as the Sentinels surrounded her like a pack of predators with prey.

Her final goodbye.

As the elevator cable snapped, the Sentinels strike.

Black, that's all she could see. An endless void of a single colour, accompanied by no one but herself. Was this what death feels like? Was this what awaited her after giving up her life to the Sentinels so the others can keep going? It feels... cold, not like the endless snowstorms of Copper-9 but still cold nevertheless.

That is until something warm and wet suddenly slid across her face, followed by the small, calm grunts of an animal. She wasn't alone, but she couldn't see anything for miles in this dark abyss. Unless...

Serial Designation V's golden eyes slowly opened, the endless black splitting open, revealing she was staring face to face with some kind of animal, licking her as it hovered in above her.

She sat up, her eyes studying the surrounding area around her, seeing a whole herd of cow-like animals that shared similarities to a Parasaurolophus, creatures that she has never seen before, grazing on grass in the night sky while one, slightly larger than the others and the only one with four horns upon on the crest while the smaller ones only have two (the bull, the male, of the herd, most likely), stood guard, checking its surroundings for any predators. She stood up, obvious confusion plastered on her face.
