Changed

Chapter 3

Uzi watched N scramble away into the vents, looking closely, she watched N give a thumbs up motion. "All good!" Uzi sighed in relief and tapped the makeshift keycard onto the digital pad.

The door rumbled loudly and opened; a blast of air blew at her face. She continued walking until she got to the last door, slamming the keycard once again on the pad, the door shifted open. A few drones stared at her for a few seconds before going back to what they did. Alright, maybe this will be easier than I thought.  

Uzi continued walking down the halls, glancing every now and then at the vents, where she saw the dim yellow light of N's "eyes." Good, he's still on the lookout. 

BANG! 

Uzi rubbed her head. Ow! What drone was in front of me now? She looked up, a bland metal wall, if a single purple poster wasn't there. Uzi examined the poster. She clasped her hands over her mouth to stop herself from gasping. It was her, well sort of. The poster was what N and V called her "Solver" form, a purple X almost invisible from the black crayon on her visor. On the top, it said:  

"BEWARE THE BAT WITCH!"

"JOIN THE REBELS!"

"WE CAN TAKE HER DOWN!" 

Well, that's not good. Uzi grabbed the poster, ripping it from the wall and stuffing it into her pocket. They're after me now. Uzi continued walking until she saw something she had never seen before in the bunker. A large door, looming in front of her. But this wasn't just any kind of door she'd seen; it had a large yellow painted X over a skull. Not just any skull, Uzi bit her tongue. But the Disassembly Drone symbol.  

A dark, orange-eyed worker drone stood in front of the door. Uzi took a deep breath of confidence and walked over. "Hey, is this the rebels base?"

The drone looked over her a few times, a confused expression on his face. "Yes? But I don't know why you call it a base."

 Shoot! "Oh, sorry, I'm-"  

The drone interrupted her. "Wait. Are you Khan's daughter?"

Uzi suppressed a groan. "Yeah? Why?"

The drone smiled. "Your father helped build this door."

Why am I not surprised. "Am I allowed to go in?"

The drone nodded. "My mistake. Also, these halls are tricky, you'll want to go straight till you see the yellow arrows." 

Uzi grinned. "Thank you!"

The door shifted open, and she thanked the drone again before walking inside, she waited for the door to close behind her before she let out a breath of relief. I never want to do that again. 

Uzi continued to walk down the corridors. I hope N is okay. She investigated the rooms. There was a medical area, a break area, a... testing area? Uzi didn't dare look in there.

Just then, she saw it, yellow arrows pointing towards a different hallway. Finally!  

She took one step; the lights went out. They flickered back on after a short time. The lights were red now, and an alarm blared loudly. No. No. No. N!!!
