An Unknown Threat?!

Part 16

The night sky was ablaze as multiple explosions went off in various parts of a former JCJenson facility.

M: Hahahahahahahaha! I knew those mines would work! No "Oh M they're too close together." Just pure carnage and beautiful explosions!

M cheered to herself this great beauty of explosions was great... but there was no one to admire it with her. No I to tell her that it was a bit much or look at her surprised, instead it was just silent as she stopped laughing.

M: Why did I have to get sad about Cyn again? She's dead and he's supposed to take out his anger on these workers! Not cutting his arm off and running away being sad!

This silence was unbearable to M for once she felt alone... no prey to hunt, no friends to talk or well bother in her case and no one to distract her busy mind.

M: Maybe I did have a good idea of thinking about people he likes. C hasn't barked orders at us in a bit. Heh guy is probably plotting on fighting A again.

M sighed her smile faltering for a moment her face seemed a bit normal to worker drone standards. She regretted not annoying C to stay with her and I, the guy was capable but the idea of him being hurt... hurt her. She had to resolve this issue of worrying first before she got distracted again. C was ambitious but was oozing with overconfidence, even if it wasn't earned. She shook her head but the more reasonable voice inside of her was begging to find him... begging that he was safe. She looked through her radar and seeing were his com link was last broadcasting she saw were she needed to go. Deploying her wings she lifted herself into the air and started her flight.

C's location wasn't hard to pin down though M could see that I's com link was active yet seemingly on a channel that shouldn't have existed. I going off the deep end was always something she thought would happen long after she went more crazy. M's eyes looked towards where C's com signal ended as he was likely just being annoying and shut it off.

M broke through the wall not much caring for being kind to the old buildings but she wasn't met with the verbal push back she expected. No instead there was silence more of the damn silence she hated.

M: C?! Where are you?

M asked her question with no clear direction as her sensors were coming up with nothing. No massive what signature, no oil in the air, hell it seemed like nothing in here had been on for days.

M: Clovis? This isn't funny. You're supposed to be here...

M looked down to see that there was signs of what had to have been a fight in the other room, one that was far larger than the hallway she was in but one wall took her attention. C's hat partially singed layed there. Her eyes showing concern and fear as she saw the burn marks and the molten metal near it.

M: Clovis- you were supposed to- I-

M felt the tears forming in her eyes but tried to laugh to hide her pain but it couldn't work, it didn't stop how she felt as she rushed to his remains and cried. Her smile breaking and her demeanor breaking as she tried to mourn. Her time of grief looked on by Hades his visor gleaming at the sight of one of the old higher ups being dead and a plan forming of how a new pawn could be used to remove more of the outdated Disassembly Drones.

-Transition-

K learned a lot about Lizzy or at least her current lifestyle from Lizzy's explanations. The colony, school, but what she tried to focus more on was how Lizzy was doing.

Lizzy: Hey so... how did you get the lights to work around here?

K: The lights? Oh you mean the power grid?
