Uzi's leg, which was clutching at Erasmus' claws, slumped. N' fell to his knees, shaking slightly.
Erasmus chuckled, before pulling the now injured core away from view, before throwing it straight at N. The core flung through the sky, hitting the ground near him. Quickly, N pounced it, his hands cradling core like a injured bird. Digital tears began trickling down his eyes.
Ever since he met her back at the corpse spire, he knew she had potential - to love him. Now, someone has took that away from him.
The visor, which project Uzi's eye and expression, went black for a few seconds. Then, words replaced it:
WARNING!

 FATAL ERROR! 

SHUTTING DOWN IN 10...

"No... no, no, no," repeated N, his grip tightening by the second. Erasmus, seeing N's despair, began cackling like the average 4chan user on a random Tuesday. N ignored Erasmus, too caught up on the emotions swirling through him.
As the countdown closes in it's end, N looked up at Erasmus, then at Uzi's core. Just as Uzi died, a message popped up for a split second. It read:
"Kick his ass, N!"
Then black.
Now N was broken. He began to sob uncontrollably, his forehead resting on the core of Uzi.
"May she rest in peace," cooed Erasmus, his tone mocking. N turned his head up to Erasmus, his voice cracking, "YOU MONSTER!"
"Ooh, feisty, you are~" said Erasmus, pointing his golden finger at him. N dropped the core to the snow-covered, and stood up, his hands curled into fists. Erasmus, sensing his courage to fight back because of what he did, chuckled menacingly, "very well."
Erasmus's claws spread out. N did the same thing, his hands switching to his claws, a >< replacing his teary eyes, and a malicious grin appeared on his face.
They both stood there, the wind breezing through them. N's syringe tail swayed side to side, like a cat.
Suddenly, N, with the help of his wings, flew himself at Erasmus, his claws in the air. Erasmus responded by slapping him across the face with the back of his hand, sending him tumbling to the snow-covered ground. Erasmus approached N with slow, calculated steps. N, secretly amused with Erasmus falling for his trap, switched his left claw for a Lasgun, pointing it at Erasmus' head, then firing a shot at him.
It was successful, as it caught Erasmus off caught, sending him backing away from N as the hole came through his golden mask.
"You shouldn't have done that, apprentice," muttered Erasmus, the hole on his head disappearing in a matter of seconds.
N ignored his sentence, getting up off the ground, slowly levitating off the ground, his Lasgun switching back to his claw.
As N got to a sufficient height off the ground, his arms spread out, spinning towards Erasmus. He quickly dodged the spinning N. He stopped his spinning, his legs hitting the ground.
"You have a lot of balls for a mind in a cold, metal coffin," said Erasmus, flexing his claws.
"Yes, this is a cold, metal coffin," replied N, secretly agreeing with Erasmus. His body was  a metal coffin, he was specifically designated to wipe out the last colony of artificial machines, then get scrapped and left for dead. God, he was lucky.
Nonetheless, N still despised Erasmus. He just killed his lover!
Then, N threw himself at Erasmus, his claws out for him. Finally, he was successful in injuring Erasmus, as his claws stabbed the Butlerian Jihad veteran in the chest. Erasmus didn't move, didn't speak, instead, looked down at the claws in his chest like it was nothing.
Then, suddenly, Erasmus' right claw gripped N's wrist tightly, then the disassembly's left. Immediately, he pulled N away from him, the claws exiting out of the wound. He threw N towards a tree. On impact, the tree broke on impact, and N fell to the ground, splinters on his back. Erasmus quickly approached N, his right claw in the air, swinging down in an attempt to grasp the disassembly's neck. It failed. N quickly moved forward, flying straight out of the forest.
"GET BACK HERE!" Yelled out Erasmus, his right claw puncturing the ground. Suppressing his rage, he simply laughed it off, his right claw pulling away from the ground. Then, Erasmus began dashing out of the forest in huge steps, towards N.

N sat on the railings, watching intently at the forest, looking for Erasmus. Tessa was with him aswell, not having a clue on what's going on.
"Soo... what should I do?" Asked Tessa, shrugging.
"Send out a distress signal, coordinate it to the city," instructed N, his expression unyielding, "then, we'll get out of this winter wonderland."
"Very well," replied Tessa, before turning her back to N, and sprinting from view.
N stayed where he was, his neon digital eyes flickering slightly. His claws were still on, his syringe tail menacingly swinging from side to side, and the sweet, sweet thought of revenge on Erasmus.
Then, it came.
Erasmus.
"Ay, bitch!" Yell out N, quickly flying out of his spot, landing on the icey lake of Copper 9. Just miles away from him was Erasmus.
"Sup, apprentice!" Yelled back Erasmus.
Then, N flew on over to Erasmus, stopping at just ten metres ahead of Erasmus. Immediately after he did so, Erasmus begun, pouncing on towards N, his right claw extended to him.
Reacting on instinct, N's left hand turned into a Lasgun, and pointed it at Erasmus. Just then, he saw that Erasmus' figure was glitching ever so slightly.
Checkmate, bitch, thought N, turning around, his right claw turning into a sword, perfectly straight.
His suspicions were true, as Erasmus appeared right infront of N, his heart pierced by the sword.
They stood there, in total silence. Until, the disassembly pulled his sword out of Erasmus' body, his heart going along with it.
"That's for Uzi," muttered N, before, like a kebab, he took a big bite out of the Butlerian Jihad veteran's heart, chewing slowly and dramatically. Erasmus looked on in shock, not moving.
Before, he chuckled, taking a step back, his body slumping from side to side, "oh, N! You can't kill artificial machinery! I'll be looking over your shoulder! I'll return one thousand years after Paul's son becomes emperor! Just. You. Wait." Before collapsing to the ground.
