(A/N: Well, that Monday went horrible... Oh but who cares. Here's the chapter, have fun reading)


When Uzi got up, she discovered that she was once again sleeping on the ground, exhausted from yesterday.

Well, yes... Yesterday... Today was the day of the complete renovation of the room, which was another part of her plan.  The plan she came up with at the very beginning of her exile was coming out very nicely!

The door is built and the Railgun is finished, which means she is safe, she had quite a lot of food in the form of batteries, and besides, she had constant access to energy from that glowing green thing. From her trip to the mall yesterday, she also had electronics, and therefore something for her entertainment... Maybe she'll manage to pirate some anime? Uzi smiled to herself... Yeah... That sounds like something! Buuuut...
Back to the plan! She also got a blanket! Pink, sure, But its comfort and fluffiness overshadowed this fact.
Now all that's left is to get rid of these sad skeletons, throw away empty cans of beans and empty bottles of water that along with the previously mentioned cans, were strewn across the floor, find a new mattress, tinkering with that glowing green thing to redirect the energy in a better way, since before, when she was finishing the door, she could only have one tool connected at a time, find a big desk and better lighting, for example purple LEDs, some pillows, posters and who knows what else...

After reviewing her plan again , she got up and started cleaning. Collecting the cans and bottles was a real pain, especially since she didn't want to just throw them out the door, because later she would have trouble getting out and in from her bunker so she had to go a little further to the landfill, which was not even far away, and she went like this back and forth.
When the purple-haired drone did that, her thoughts were in an entirely different place. She escaped death...She managed to shoot the murder drone... But she also learnt something new. Those flying shits can regenerate their lost limbs... That's inconvenient, hell that's awful. It means that she won't be able to defeat them once and for all, but at least, with her Railgun, she had some chance at survival. Uzi was sure of it since she escaped from V...

------

With all bottles and cans gone, she decided to get rid of the skeletons. While Child and Goliath were just there, Uzi, with her lonely sad mind managed to get herself attached to Skelly, and since she knew that she couldn't keep the whole skeleton, because it would take too much space, she decided to just keep the skull. She didn't care that she was desecrating someone's corpse. She didn't like humans, and what could a skeleton like that possibly do to her? Would it come back to life to kill her for tearing off his head? Besides, the skull was no use to it anyway, since it was dead. With that in mind, Uzi began carrying the skeletons out of her bunker, leaving only the skull of one of them.

During her wanderings, Uzi had passed what looked like an enormous and very deep  hole in the ground surrounded by huge metal structures like pipes and other stuff several times. She was very careful around it, but this place looked really intriguing.
Passing this place for the umpteenth time, the little drone heard something disturbing. Like roars, but in pain, and they were coming from that place. She hesitated whether to go there, but what harm could it do her? The day continued so she probably wouldn't see any of those murderous morons, and besides, she had her 'Sick as hell Railgun', she wouldn't part with her little gem and it didn't seem like she ever would. So she began to carefully make her way looking around in wander and carefully coming down, it would be so much easier if only she could fly... Well... She can't magically grow wings, right?

When she finally did come down, the place had just stuff lingering everywhere. Wires, metal scraps, papers etc.. The further she went, the more unsettling things she saw, for example things like "DON'T" or "DON'T LOOK THE LIGHT" with a weird looking dino next to it written in oil which is the equivalent of drones blood, claw marks on computer equipment on one of which was written "WARNING. ANTI-DRONE SENTINELS //STAT: FREE ROAM" and "CORE COLLAPSE", but what surprised and scared her the most was the murder drones limbs lying everywhere... legs, arms headbands, heads and even whole bodies! Now she wasn't so sure it was such a good idea to get here...

She was pulled from her thoughts by another roar, this time weaker, but as if in agony rather than pain. This caused Uzi, who usually thinks rationally, to run towards the sound.

What she saw distraught her greatly. A barely alive robotic dinosaur was lying on the ground. Its entire body was covered in claw marks and its eyes were cracked so that their blue light barely glowed. Uzi knelt down next to the creature and it growled at her, probably to scare off a potential enemy. Uzi was determined and decided to help this robot dinosaur anyway. And if she has plans, she makes them come true... Although her latest one hasn't been finished yet however that didn't change the fact that she would finish it, albeit a bit later, but still.

- "Got you good huh?" - The lavender eyed drone asked what she found out was called  sentinel and it just looked away in shame, still growling.

- "Hey... It's okay big guy... Don't need to worry... I won't hurt you" - Uzi tried to calm that dino down which she found out was working, because it looked at her with pleading eyes and whimpering.

- "Shhh... It's okay... I'll try to fix you up okay? Not here though... This place gives me the creeps... But you'll have to deactivate for some time okay? So I can drag you out?" - She asked for consent from that creature. It seemed to have given up and decided to trust this drone and as per her request it deactivated itself...

- "Good... Now... How the fuck am I supposed to pick this thing up? And I can't leave it here either... Ugh... Okay, damn, I'll think of something..." - And indeed, she came up with an idea.

Uzi lifted the dino on her shoulders and went towards the exit, which was a huge problem for her because it literally weighed 3 times more than she did, not only that. Because of the stuff that was literally everywhere the short drone had to maneuver her body so as not to trip or drop that dino on her back... but that won't stop her... She'll do what she can to fix it... Maybe it'll become her new companion and she won't be so horribly lonely all the time?... That thought made her even more determined and she smiled to herself... Maybe it won't be so bad?


(A/N: Thanks for reading. Hope you had fun, and don't worry, N and V will get their screen time too, just not as much as Uzi, since this story is about her. Nevertheless, have a nice day/ night)

(P.S: that skull? It's the one from one of the graphics of the show, and also from one of the figurine (⁠◕⁠ᴗ⁠◕⁠✿⁠))
