Hawk giggled and laughed maniacally. He continued to contort and return to his original stature, with all connecting points making cracking noises that sounded like fracturing bones. He then stood proudly, looking at the staff as his eyes flashed yellow and purple. His suit started fusing with his body. He screamed in pain, and in his anguish, he saw his first memories of when he was originally created. They all moved fast and slow. As his eyes darted around, seeing the memories flashing by, he felt himself shutting down. He felt his body go limp, and as his body went limp, so did all the drones in the facility. The only thing that still ran in the cabin was the roaring fire. The fire burned for as long as Hawk could remember, and he saw the fire roar and burn. His body feeling loose, and out of his control. He felt like everything was going to change, but he wasn't sure of what way.

T and P were still hiding in the trees far away from Hawk's cabin. They hugged, and couldn't separate from each other.

"T, I'm scared," P cried. She was more scared than T ever could be, which is saying a lot, considering what T just saw.

"Hey, you have me, and as long as we're together, that's all that matters," T assured. This attitude behind T would only lead to a string of events in the future.

Hawk chuckled, seeing the two rush out in fear and depravity.

"Oh, how dumb you two are," Hawk monologues, "You forgot that I can track you suckers." Hawk's chuckles turned into laughter, and more maniacal than ever before. "I'll find you, T and P. If it's the last thing I ever do, dammit!" He continued laughing until he short circuited and flopped to the floor slowly. The drones outside continued working due to their order. All working consistent speeds. It seems the shocks have been proved useful. After a while, an alarm goes off, making every room flash a deep red. All the while, a few of the guard drones he made went outside and started searching for the two reject Chimera Drones.

T and P heard the sirens and various drones scouting around. They went up into the trees. The guard drones were worker drones with disassembly drone arms and large lamps on their helmets. They also tend to wield large spears, with both the shaft and point being made of metal. The same kind from the worker drones. T and P hid up in the trees. They hopped from tree to tree, until they were in a supposedly safe area. They ended up finding another old worker colony that looked abandoned.

T and P lifted the door open. It acted like a pull open garage door. They both rushed in, with P pulling it down. They sat down, exhaling deeply.

"T, are you alright?" P asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine," T explained, "Listen, all we have to do is lay low and wait it out. Besides, it's not like they can open the door. And even then, I have gotten the door tripped with bombs. There's no way they'll be able to get in!"

"Did you arm them?" P questioned.

"What?"

DId. You. Arm. Them." Silence went between the two of them.

"Ah, fuck, I forgot to arm the explosives-"

"You forgot to arm the explosives?! We're gonna DIE out here! This isn't how I imagined us going out at all!" P cut him off.

"Well. At least, we'll be together in our final moments?" P smacked him in the face, causing him to fall on his back. T held a thumb up to ensure he was okay. From further inside, there was a loud growl. It almost sounded like a scream of fear and pain. T and P stopped. The guards continued banging on the door.

"Open up! We know you're in there!" The guards exclaimed. They continued slamming on the door. T and P ran. They went over to the sounds. The banging of the door and the sound of screaming was running through both of their heads. T tripped, falling on his face. P stopped, and tried reaching for him. An explosion went off, sending both of them flying. They both slammed against the end of the hallway. T and P held hands. The guards slowly walked up to them. Then a loud roar was heard over to T and P's left. Something stirred behind the set of large metal bars. There were more sets of bars like this separated by thick walls of stone. The walls presumably had metal underneath the stone exterior. A large X gleamed from the darkness, with a loud growl. It clawed at the bars. Everyone in the room stood still. P looked at T, then to the guards, then to the thing behind the bars. 

The bars started to bend, and crack, until they get launched to the opposite wall. The bars knocked out a few of the guard drones. One of the drones slowly backed away in fear, and ran. The thing hiding behind the bars lunged out, chasing after the fleeing drone. It dashed towards the drone on all fours. All the while, growling and mechanical screeching came from the large beast as it chased after the stray drone. The only other noises that could be heard in the distance was the loud screams and spilling of oil. The other guard drones ran off towards the beast. All that could be heard was the loud screams of the drones, gunfire, clashing of metal, and oil being spilled and consumed. After the rampage, the large creature looked around slowly, along with a high pitch wincing noise. It continued like this for a while, until the noise stopped. Large, yet elegant footsteps could be heard from the other room. The sound of metal clanging against the similar material floor echoed throughout the entire facility. The steps got louder and louder, getting closer and closer to T and P. The both of them held hands, hoping that they wouldn't die. A large shadow covered the both of them. The only thing they could see was the large glowing X on its face, and the five large lights on its head.

This thing wasn't a regular drone. At least, not like any other drone she'd seen.
