That bloody promise

Chapter 7 - brothers bonding (?)

It was roughly two days later, give or take, when Bloodmoon returned to the base. It was the middle of the night and they were just awkwardly standing in front of the huge entry doors, tapping their fingers and waiting for someone to open them, but it was very late and even Eclipse was asleep at this point... which said a lot. Yup, they were stuck outside. Only Eclipse could open the gigantic metal doors from remote, and all the commands to do so were either in his arm panel or inside the base, kinda scattered around. Killcode definitely wasn't an option, he was surely very much asleep at that time of the night. They didn't feel like shouting and potentially waking up an entire forest of wild beasts, so they tried for other options to get in. Honorable mentions are: walking around the whole base in search of a secondary entry, trying to open the thick doors with their bare hands, and try to crawl all the way up to some windows. Yeah... the last one didn't work out very well... metal against metal doesn't grip too well. Oh but they learned it the hard way, after a ridiculous amount of falls on their behind. "Ughhh..." they whined "brother, this is not working" "yes brother, I can feel that..." they rubbed their butt as they got up yet another time. Of course they were left with the only possible choice "FATHERRRR?" "FATHERRRRR!" "OPEN THE DOOR!" ...silence... they whined to themselves again, knowing what they had to do, yet they really despised the idea... "ECLIPSEEE!!" They shouted particularly loudly, almost like a full blown scream.

Inside the two animatronics were having their absolutely earned sleep when they are woken up by some loud screaming, which actually wasn't very loud through the thick metal walls, but surely very annoying. The noise managed to wake up both the robots. Eclipse, who for once was sleeping in this bed, tiredly groaned and rubbed a hand on his face, hearing his name being called. He slowly got up and grumbled about 'those two pests' being 'a pain in his servos' while getting in contact with Killcode, cause he knew they managed to wake him up too, which was a real challenge considering his quarters were at the top floor. Eclipse called him and he picked up "Yes Eclipse, I heard, I'm going" Killcode tiredly mumbled, but the other animatronic was quick to reply "No no, get back to sleep. I'm on my way already." with a mix of pissed off and sleepy voice. This time, uhhh! He was gonna Scold them, or at least say something, but he knew Killcode would've never let him. They, as a matter of fact, were his golden children. So he got out of his room and took a lovely middle-of-the-night walk through the whole base to get to the doors. Sure, he could open them from remote, but he wanted to be right in front of those two little punks when they opened.

The bloody red animatronic was waiting outside for someone to let them in, occasionally calling Eclipse's or Killcode's name. Finally the doors opened, as slowly and loudly as ever. They smiled and happily hopped towards the entry, but surely enough stopped at the unfamiliar sight of Eclipse, standing right there, pissed off, arms crossed, foot tapping on the ground and finger tapping on the arm. "You really couldn't sleep outside for a few hours? You managed to wake up Both Of Us." The taller animatronic pointed out, only receiving back a "heheh" Eclipse looked at them dumbfounded as they passed him. "No. Wait. You're telling me- you woke me up... in the middle of the night... to let you in... I do that and all you have to say is hehe?! Not even a sorry? Or a thanks? Nothing?! Oh of course nothing. What should I expect from a couple of delusional punks?" The shorted, red animatronic stopped in their track, searching for a comeback while the other one angry closed the doors from his arm panel. The two twins were trying their best to come up with something, but were just returned from a killing spree and still under the 'after effect' . Bloodsheds had this bad habit to make them noticeably calmer and more compliant, but most of all calm. They couldn't find a good enough comeback, so instead did the thing that came more natural at the moment. They furiously turned around, stomped their foot and flipped him off  "Shut up!" "You don't get to speak gold man!" Then they tried to run off, but this time, ahhh, this time Eclipse was faster. He forcefully grabbed them by their jester collar, angry as hell "No no no, you're not going anywhere, not without me at least. I am going to walk you to your room, and as payment for waking me up after yet another day of working my servos off to make this place function, you're not gonna make a single sound." A few seconds of silence followed his angry mumble, before Eclipse broke it again "start walking." He physically nudged them to go forward and they actually did. Again, it was late and they just returned from a hunt. They really were more compliant.
