Murder Drones: Dismantled Brethren

Beginning of the end

N observes Tessa, waiting for an answer to his question.

 Her head slowly turns back to look at N, The darkness of her helmet reflecting N's stern face 

"Cute...you know why I keep you around, N-? 

N slashes his sword arm across Tessa's neck, her head falls to the floor rolling until it stops at S's feet.

 S shudders which causes N to turn his attention to S still looking completely serious 

"I found the patch, you can let her live."

 N turns and begins to walk over to Uzi, still lying on the ground, A small familiar core hops off of N's head and looks up to S. 

"NORI!" S exclaims. 

Nori squints her optic towards S "You befriended Cyn's murder puppets?" 

S sucked the air a bit, shrugging "They were my friends before I got here, plus they've been pretty helpful." 

Nori rolls her optic before hopping onto S's Shoulder. 

"How's Khan?"

 S smiled a bit, opening his mouth to respond only to hear crying. 

S turns over to see Uzi, her head lowered, masking her expression. In her hands hold the patch. N watches over Uzi trying to help her up. 

"Hey buddy...yeah that should help."

 N gently reassures Uzi as he gets her to her feet...but her head still hangs. 

"All I know is, I need you...to figure things out..."

 He takes Uzis hands Nori gags a bit causing S to lightly slap her in the back of the head. 

As S looks back to the two he suddenly falls to his knees, coughing up oil as his visor glitches out. 

"Steve, what's wrong?

 S gets up slowly looking over to Uzi and N 

"...She's here."

 Uzi begins laughing maniacally. Her fist clenches as the solver bursts out of the patch, causing it to fall to a million pieces. S narrows his eyes as he wipes oil from his mouth 

"N! GET AWAY FROM HER!"

 N looks over to S confused only for the solver to grab N holding him in place. 

"That's really sweet. Big Brother. Too bad you've served your purpose...Don't worry."

She throws N towards a pillar, keeping him there with the solver 

"Your backups will forgive me."

Large blades appear from Cyn's back and prepare to stab N only for Noris solver to slice the blades off.

 Cyn turns to face S whipping out his shotgun and Nori using the solver to hold up a pickaxe. 

"Nori? You're dead."

Nori's optic furrows "Your fricking grounded!" 

"Anger."

Nori throws the pickaxe at Cyn which hits her in the visor. During this moment of confusion N flies up to the ceiling and aims his mp5 at Cyn.

 However he hesitates not wanting to kill one of his only friends. S who was busy punching back some blades that were being lashed at him notices the hesitation. 

"N!"

 S kicks Cyn back giving him room to speak. 

"N! DO IT! WE HAVE NO OTHER-"
