Daft Punk: robots after all

Chapter 9: Contact

When Sophie opened her eyes, she is alone and locked in a small dark room. She tries to get up, but realizes she can not move the hands and feet. Sophie is tied up and lying on the floor. The kidnappers tied her hands behind her back, and feet to prevent her from being able to stand and walk. Sophie can not scream for help because she is gagged with a scarf. She tries repeatedly to break free but can not getting there, the nodes are too strong.

The girl thinks where her friends are. They surely were locked somewhere. The door to the room opens and two men enter. They have bad eyes. One of them unties the legs of Sophie and lifts her. They take the young Sophie out of the room, holding her by the shoulders.

They bring the girl in a larger room, and make her sit on a chair before reattach the legs.

Mr. Spade enters the room with several bodyguards with him, and moves toward Sophie, smiling. One of the men removes the gag of Sophie for her to speak. Mr. Spade approached the girl and touches her face with his hand. Sophie looked away, she did not even want to see him.

(Spade): "So you're the girl who became friends with the Daft Punk?"

(Sophie): "Where are they? What you did to them?"

Mr. Spade chuckles. He takes a cigarette and starts to smoke quietly while Sophie continues to be very concerned for her friends.

(Spade) "Bring the two robots."

A door opens and Thomas and Guy-Manuel enter the room with several men who watch them. But the two robots seem different. They walk looking straight ahead them, as if they were hypnotized. Sophie does not understand why they react like that.

(Sophie): "Thomas! Guy-Manuel! Help me! Do something!"

But the two robots do not say anything and stay to look straight ahead them without moving. Mr. Spade starts to laugh and turned to Sophie.

(Spade): "These are not your friends. They do not listen to you."

(Sophie): "Bastard! What did you do?"

(Spade): "Your two friends are under the influence of the brainwasher. Now they belong to me and obey, like slaves."

Sophie is devastated in listening that. Mr. Spade has a horrible idea to get rid of the girl, for that she can no longer bother him. He goes to Thomas and gives him an order: kill Sophie with his own hands.

The robot starts to move towards the girl, ready to execute his order. Sophie can not believe it and when Thomas is facing her, she tries to resonate him.

(Sophie): "Thomas! Do not do that! It's me, Sophie, you recognize me? Remember you, you love me and I love you. We have jurors to stay together for life! Thomas, I know you can hear me. You can resist the brainwasher, you must fight to escape. I love you, my love. "

Sophie sheds tears. Thomas remains motionless for several minutes, watching the girl in the eyes. Mr. Spade starts to lose patience.

(Spade) "Kill her, now!"

Thomas turned to Mr. Spade and looks at him into her eyes and began to speak.

(Thomas): "No."

The man does not understand. Then, Guy-Manuel reacts and catches two men of Spade, before throwing them against a wall. Thomas hit one of the men in the face and begins to untie Sophie. The girl is relieved and smiled.

(Sophie): "I knew you would never hurt me."

(Thomas): "To tell the truth, I was possessed but I saw what I was doing and when I was about to kill you, it was horrible for me I did not want to, but I could not prevent me."

(Sophie): "It is not your fault and I forgive you, my love."

(Thomas):"Thank you, my love."

(Guy-Manuel): "Hey the lovebirds, I do not wanna bother you, but I need a little help."

Indeed, Guy-Manuel tries to fend off a dozen men, alone. Thomas and Sophie come for help him. Mr. Spade fled with his bodyguards to avoid being attacked by the robots.

The men of Spade are too numerous and Thomas decides to call the reinforcements. He presses a button hidden in his sleeve, and a few seconds later, a loud noise is heard above the building. The men wonder what happens while Thomas and Guy-Manuel take Sophie away, to protect themselves. The spaceship of the Daft Punk arrives passing through the roof, and men of Spade are knocking by falling debris on them. Sophie and the Daft Punk are refuge under a large table in metal to protect themselves from falling debris.

(Thomas): "Spade has always the brainwasher in his possession. We must take it back."

Mr. Spade got into his car with his bodyguards, and in his hand he holds the brainwasher. Although his plan to kill Sophie and Daft Punk failed, he does not want to admit defeat and is desperate to keep the machine for him. When Sophie and Daft Punk took to the streets to try to stop him, it's too late, the car is already at the end of the street and impossible to catch up on foot.

In addition, in the sky, strange flying machines begin to appear. They have the same shape as the spaceship of the Daft Punk. Within minutes, a large army of alien spaceships appeared in the sky of Paris. Sophie is stunned.

(Sophie): "What is it?"

(Guy-Manuel): "This is our army. They came to retrieve the brainwasher."

(Sophie): "So, It's a good new?"

(Thomas): "No, because they are convinced that humans want to use the brainwasher. They will do anything to take it back, even if for that, they must destroy the city completely!"

Sophie's heart began to beat wildly. In her mind, she imagines the streets of Paris devastated, buildings on fire, people panicked and the alien’s spaceships that destroy everything in their path. No, Sophie want prevent that.

In the streets, people are turning to the sky and watch the strange spaceships that float in the sky. TV crews are already on hand to film it. But suddenly, the spaceships begin to move in certain directions and have start shooting at buildings with sophisticated weapons. The sounds of guns and explosions are terrible and deafening. People start screaming in fear and flee in all directions.

To stop the carnage, the group must react very quickly and catch Mr. Spade, by all means. Sophie, Thomas and Guy-Manuel are boarded the spaceship and start pursuing to Spade.
