Chapter 7: Virus

Right as the sentinel pounced at them, it stopped in mid air. Everyone watched in amazement as a blue solver symbol was in the middle of its chest. The solver showed up on Theo's visor. He winded his hand back and through the sentinel as far as he could. It smashed into a cubicle, its head popping off its body. The two other sentinels looked at Theo.

"Try me!" He yelled, pointing his hand out but the solver symbol disappeared from his eye. The sentinels slowly approached him. Theo tried to use his powers, but they weren't working. Suddenly, Lake slammed the pistol into one of the sentinel's eyes. They growled in pain as the other one pounced, pushing her to the ground. Penny grabbed the creature and pushed it away from Lake.

She looked around and saw a piece of scrap metal. Penny grabbed it and cut off its arm. She pushed the two creatures to the ground and stabbed the metal in one of their heads. It dropped dead as oil poured from its head. The other sentinel looked at the trio with one of its working eyes. All of them had fury in their eyes. The sentinel screeched and ran away, running into a wall.

"That's funny." Lake laughed.

"I'll work on getting the vent open." Penny exclaimed, propping the piece of metal under the vent cover and trying to pry it open. Theo just awkwardly stood there, looking at his hands.

"You did good kid." Lake said. Theo looked over. She didn't make eye contact, but just stared at her gun.

"Thanks, but I still don't know how to control it." Theo said.

"You just learned about it today, nobody can do that on the first try."

"Maybe my sister can help you!" Penny offered.

"Well, if she stops being a secretive emo bi-" Suddenly, the vent popped off the wall. Penny fell backwards, but Lake and Theo caught her.

"Let's get going!" She exclaimed, climbing into the vent. Theo and Lake followed behind her. The area was crammed, the only lights being from their visor and other vent covers.

"Do we even know where we're going? They could've gone anywhere." Theo mentioned. Penny looked down and thought for a minute. He was right. She didn't know where she was going. Just then, she noticed a trail of oil.

"There's oil in here! That must leave us to where they are!" Penny exclaimed. They all started to crawl faster. After a full minute, Penny stopped. She looked through a vent cover and saw K9, D4, and Grace strapped onto beds with a magnet attached to their heads. The drone they saw earlier was talking to them.

"Listen I don't know what you are talking about!" K9 exclaimed. The drone just laughed.

"You're teaming up with Ember's sister, aren't you?" She asked.

"Well, yea. We just came here to get info." D4 mentioned.

"Can you just let us go lady! We have more important things to do!" Grace yelled, trying to break free. The drone suddenly stabbed Grace in the palm. Grace grunted.

"I wouldn't try that if I was you." The drone laughed.

"I want my revenge." Penny and Theo looked at each other with worried eyes.

"What did your sister do?" Lake asked.

"Nothing, I don't know what she's talking about." Penny said. She remembered the camera footage, how mean Ember was. Maybe she did do something.

"I'll be right back." The drone said, ripped the knife out of Grace's hand.

"I have something more special for you murder drones." The drone left the room, the door slamming behind her. Penny used the piece of metal to pry the vent open. The three drones dropped down.
