Behind Blood Red Eyes (Murder Drones x male reader)

Episode 6 : Dead End Part 3

Within the darkened office, a ventilation panel rattles for a bit before dropping to the floor with Beau soon following. As he gets up, his legs wobbling from the impact of the abrupt descent, he picks up his hat and forces himself to scuttle across the room and find Alice; but in his hurry to reach his boss, he fails to notice N peaking over a cubicle wall.

Once Beau reaches the other side of the cubicle-filled space, he knocks on a door causing it to open as he rushes inside while N drops back behind the wall and turns to Kira and Tessa to say, "They've gotta be in there, right?"

As she types away on a computer, Tessa nonchalantly replies to N's question, her confidence unwavering, "No worries, we'll save V and (Y/N)." The human then turns around in the swivel chair to look at the two machines before motioning to a pair of chairs, inviting them to sit; however, neither one does that, the murder drone hooking his foot onto one and pushing it outside the cubicle before speaking, "And Uzi."

Turning back to the computer, Tessa hits a few more keys, then looks to the androids, the screen behind her lighting up yellow, "Wanna take a gander at Earth?" Annoyed by this seemingly irrelevant question, N and Kira glare at the human before the worker drone steps forward, her arms crossed as her feet clang against the floor, while the murder drone responds in agitation, "No Tessa, we don't have time."

"You told me you'd give us answers, not an astronomy lesson. I suggest you get out of that chair and start explaining while we save everyone else." As Kira pulls Tessa up from her seat in frustration, her expression suddenly becomes one of shock as she now sees what's on the screen, N quickly gaining the same horrified look as her.

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

Whilst the trio stares at the computer in shock, Beau is watching the monitors, looking everywhere for the escapees, though he's quickly pushed aside as Alice leers at the screens, "Can't leave the office idjit!" After partly reassuring and insulting the baby drone, the older worker drone groans before staring at him, "You sure it's here?" Immediately, her accomplice vigorously moves up and down as if to nod, digital sweat drops appearing on his screen.

Placing her head in her right hand, Alice taps the fingers of her free hand on the desk before gaining a malicious grin and looking at Uzi, the teen's finger regenerating as it hangs over a bucket labeled fingers n' junk. Turning back to the monitors, she looks at the arena, then a glowing button with a note taped to it saying "DO NOT TOUCH!!! like ever." Chuckling slightly, she moves over to the panel with all the buttons, "Can't get back in our rooms neither."

Pressing the buttons corresponding to doors one and two, the entrances to all side rooms close, trapping N, Kira, and Tessa. Alice then leans towards the other buttons and presses all of them, causing some new doors to open, releasing the sentinels into the office area, much to Uzi's distress, "Wait, please."

However, her begging falls on deaf ears as her captors surround the monitors. As Alice grabs a popcorn bag filled with batteries, she hits the do not touch button while laughing, "'Bout time old Half-face got some fun." While she sits down with her accomplice, Uzi desperately tries using her absolute solver to alter the panel's settings, but with the magnets on, she's struggling to do so, her eyes glitching momentarily to yellow as she sees the main door inside the room containing (Y/N) slide up.

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

Inside the arena, (Y/N) turns to see the massive door slowly pulling away from the floor, the very same where the distorted roar came from, "Of course, that's the one they open; why would it be any other?" Stepping back as far as he can, the ravager drone soon finds himself colliding with a wall, its cold, slippery surface barring him from escape.
