Behind Blood Red Eyes (Murder Drones x male reader)

Episode 6 : Dead End Part 2

A warning symbol flashes on Uzi's visor before she begins booting up; once this is complete, she lets out a pained groan as her vision returns, though she's soon forced to squint as the overhanging operating light shines down on her. Averting her gaze, the worker drone looks around the room, seeing monitors displaying the feed from the complex's security cameras, as well as some door buttons. It's not long before she notices that her arms and legs have been strapped down to a gurney, hampering her ability to move them.

Sitting up, some sparks jump off her as a splitting headache hits, causing her to look up and notice a magnet stuck to her head. Just then, she becomes aware of some hacking noises and looks off to her side, seeing the worker drone that knocked them out on top of the damaged remains of another robot. Raising a fire axe, the assailant decapitates the corpse, the cranium rolling off the table and into a bucket labeled heads, the landing forcing some oil inside to spill out.

Seeing this, Uzi begins tugging at the straps, but her thoughts of escape are interrupted by the worker drone as she begins speaking, "Sentinels picked at this one." Pulling at a wire from the freshly cut neck, the machine delicately slices it off with a knife tied to the end of her makeshift tail, then attaches the part to an antler as she turns around to face the teen, the new piece causing a light bulb on her rack to illuminate, revealing her face as she continues, "I try and not damage good parts."

Uzi's only response is to give a confused look while the captor gets off the body itself and crawls like a lizard to a curtain, still addressing her as she does, "'Course, some parts are more valuable than others, ain't they?" Pulling back the current, she reveals V in the same position as the teen; however, she gives Uzi a smile before speaking up smugly, "More valuable."

Lifting the axe, the worker drone prepares to go to work on V, but is interrupted when Uzi begins opposing her immanent actions, "Whoa, hey, cut that thing up, and you're gonna get a big, creepy worm. An improvement." As the murder drone looks away in annoyance at the teen's last remark, their captor only laughs as she climbs onto the gurney, "Nah. Heat keeps 'em sluggish." Getting onto a counter, then hopping to an oven placed on it, she uses her tail to open the appliance's door to reveal multiple half-organic and half-mechanical heart creatures in jars, "Ain't our first rodeo."

Taking a moment to process everything, Uzi with an annoyed look, lifts her hand as much as possible while preparing to use her absolute solver, "Ok, that's enough of this." Yet as she tries using her power, she finds herself unable to do anything as she temporarily glitches out. While she keeps trying, the assailant laughs as she leaps down from her perch and crawls to the teen, "Delt with witches 'fore too."

Hooking the knife under the teen's necklace, the worker drone pulls her in and examines it before frowning, "Though, ain't seen 02 since she left us to die." The worker drone's attention is suddenly drawn to the monitors as a banging is heard; hopping over to them, she looks at each screen, and eventually comes across (Y/N) who is trying to scale the arena's walls before falling, causing her to laugh and turn back to Uzi and V, "Don't know how ya got a ravager, but I sure am glad you took 'em. Ain't gotten a good throwdown in years."

Pressing a button on the wall, the worker drone watches the screen excitedly as a door begins sliding open. Growling, V sits up and glares at the machine, "Listen to me you little-" Before she can finish, the captor leans back until her head is upside down, "Alice. Not like knowing my name's gonna matter much." As she moves back to her original position the disassembly drone bares her teeth as she resumes speaking, "Whatever. If you try to kill that ravager drone I swear-" Once again, she's interrupted as the only free machine turns around with a maniacal smile, "Oh, don't ya worry, I'll start 'em off easy."

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

As this is happening, (Y/N) turns around as he hears the grinding of the door slowly sliding back, sounding as if it hadn't been opened in years. Seeing this, he begins stepping back as he gulps nervously, "Guess I'm about to find out what's behind these doors."
