You gritted your teeth, and kept your cold glare at the two. Mumen was still in your possession which meant you had to think fast before they do something horrible to him. You knew they were only bluffing to get you to come with them. But after what they've done to you, how could you possibly keep your idol out of harm's way? You didn't know what to do in this kind of situation. 

"I know you're lying!" You nervously shouted.

"Hm?"

"Genos isn't that weak! Don't you dare talk like you know him! He's stronger than you guys! He'll definitely come and kick your asses!" You warned them as you stood to protect Mumen.

"Whether you refuse, we still have to take you." Lambda cringed as her threatening tactic failed on you.

"I will burn that man alive if you do not come with us!" Reeve argued.

You had to make the decision to keep Mumen rider alive. So, with that, you took a deep breath and decided to surrender. You dragged Mumen to a safer area from the scene. Reeve and Lambda watched you closely as you approached them in defeat and slight humiliation. You closed your eyes, trying to fight the tears. 

"Take me. I don't have much to lose anyways." You sighed. 

"It's the right thing to do from the start." Lambda responded, making you seethe in anger and frustration as they took you.

(4 hours later....)

You woke up feeling drowsy. Your hands and legs were chained as you tried to move freely. You looked around to see a table colored in blood beside you under a single light. The room you were put in was ridiculously cold. Your teeth wouldn't stop chattering as you rubbed your arms. There, on the table, you found a rusty machete with a damaged sharp edge covered in blood. You grabbed the sticky handle, thinking about freeing yourself from the chains. You heard the door from behind unlock as you leaned against the table. You felt your heart pound in fear as you watched an unknown figure walk towards you. 

"Who're you?" You asked.

"No need to be afraid.... I go by many names, but you can call me Death." The hooded man came close to the light, revealing his old wrinkly hands and feet while wearing a dark brown cloak. His face was unidentified since his hood created a shadow over him. 

"What do you want from me?"

"We want you to build something in our favor. I suppose you know how to create human androids?" He requested.

"I-I don't know how to make androids."

"You're a horrible liar."

"No, it's true. I really can't do anything to help." You turned away, admitting the truth about your capabilities. Sure, you can make many things but unfortunately, you cannot create a robot.

"So what you're saying is that you're useless?" He rasped.

"Yes. I honestly don't know why you guys took me." You shook your head, feeling as if they wasted a huge amount of time of yours.

"Well, you can make other things, right?" He questioned you.

"Sorry, no." You lied as you rubbed your arm.

"I see that your legs are badly bruised. I apologize the way Reeve and Lambda treated you." Death kindly replied.

You suddenly remembered that you were taken to their hideout. Reeve mentioned that they have over 10 different labs scattered around every a city from A to Z. You attempted to fight against them on the way over there however you were left unconscious and defeated. You noticed the bruises just now as you looked down at your dirty shirt and shorts.
