A Replacement//Murder Drones x OC

Chap. 10: Mass Destruction

The elevator hitched, throwing N, Uzi, Tessa, and I out. The shaft was blocked off by rocks. N got up and started blasting at it in attempt to get to the other side. He stopped, pulled out his claws, and started pulling chunks of rocks out of it.

"Uzi!" He shouted. "Help! Use your solver!"

"N! Watch it!" Tessa shouted.

N looked behind him and saw Uzi using her solver to keep from getting hit. She was afraid...

Tessa stood by her. I stood a bit farther away. I can't... I... I just can't stand to close... I'm scared...

"I... don't think I sh-should..." Uzi said, covering part of her face. "I'm sorry, N..!"

"Oh, no no..." He said. "It's okay..."

He started to walk towards her. I stepped back, obviously needing space.

"Uzi, I-I am so sorry..." N said before Tessa pulled out her sword in front of Uzi.

"Enough, N." She said, making him stop. "We'll save V after we finish here."

She then looked at Uzi. "Uzi, let's have you sit this one out, ey? Box over there. Robots like boxes, right?"

"What?" Uzi asked. "No, I-"

"N." Tessa said.

N looked at Tessa. Then he looked at Uzi. "Uzi... there, um... might be some stuff down here that you don't wanna see..."

"Oh, what the hell is going on?" Uzi asked, standing up.

"Nothing!" N said. "We don't know everything yet, but..."

He looked at Tessa.

"We're not gonna hurt you!" He said to Uzi. "Okay?"

"...hurt me?" Uzi asked, stepping backwards.

I stepped backwards a little more. My back hit a wall.

"N2-?" Tessa said.

"I SAID MY NAME IS NESSA!" I shouted. "I don't get what's going on and nobody will tell me! Count me out! I'm gonna go hopefully save V! And N! I don't know what happened but you started hiding things from me all of a sudden! Am I not trustworthy anymore?! Did I screw up?! I don't know because you WON'T TELL ME!"

N stood frozen. He looked sad. He took a step towards me. I turned one of my hands into a gun and pointed it at him. He stopped in his tracks.

"Stay back!" I shouted. "I can't trust you!"

"...what...?" N said.

Tessa then stepped towards me. I pointed my gun-hand a her. "Another step and I'll make sure you understand what pain us drones go through just so humans can sit down and do nothing!"

"NESSA!" N shouted.

"Shut up!" I yelled back.

"What is up with you?!" He said.

"Me?!" I asked. "Look at yourself! You're taking the side of someone we haven't seen in years instead of the side of the people that have been looking out for you during that time! Do you know how CRAZY THAT SOUNDS?!"

"NESSA LISTEN TO ME!"

"NO!"

I shot at his leg, causing him to fall. I changed my hand back, holding it to myself. What did I just do...?

Tessa held her sword defensively. "You may not like this but it's what I have to do-"

I ran off into the shaft behind me. I can't take this anymore... An exit...! I need an exit! I have to get out! Why was I made for this?!
