Chapter 9: Bad Moon Rising

Newt POV 

"Newt?" Instead of answering a confused Tommy I got up and started to attack WICKED soliders. I stabbed a few people and shot some more. I felt electricity running through my veins as my arms started to glow an electric blue showing how the wires were spread through my body. The more I worked the more they flowed. The control stations at either side of my head, where WICKED if I let them get close enough could manually control my mainframe, glowed brighter showing them as they were put into work more than before. This mainframe was my new life source and I wouldn't let WICKED anywhere near it. 

As The Right Arm was losing I felt an electric shock in the back of my neck that was at such a high voltage it rendered me paralysed. My eyes were open so I was able to see a pair of boots coming towards me. They quickly went out of view and I saw movement meaning I was most likely being dragged somewhere. A fire quickly came into view and my body stopped moving except my eyes were open. 

"This is nobody's fault but your own. If you'd have only come back for your friends we wouldn't have been forced to turn him against you and make him kill you all" I heard a voice say. Everything was going fuzzy but as a boot knocked my head so I was facing the other way did everything come into focus. 

Tommy, Minho and Frypan were all kneeled down with some other people and about 3 other teens I didn't recognise. I saw tears in their eyes and I wanted so bad to comfort them but another round of electric shocks damaged the repairs my mainframe was starting to make. Pissed off I decided to explore what my mainframe could do. It was great. 

I remotely hacked into the wireless device that was ordering the electric shocks and destroyed it so it would think it was shocking me but weren't. I slowly felt my body coming back to me as I sped up the work my mainframe had been doing. Maybe this whole computer thing wouldn't be so bad after all. My vision came back into focus now that I wasn't concentrating on my electronics and I saw chaos all around me. People fighting and shooting each other. 

"Minho!! Minho!!" I heard Tommy shoot and I knew WICKED were leaving but what surprised me was they didn't take me. They had taken Minho and I was determined to kill them and anyone who stood in my way to get my friend back. It may kill me but I'm technically not alive since my heart doesn't beat and my blood has been replaced by electricity, my blood was sitting in my body doing nothing. 

"Newt? I'm sorry. I'm sorry I couldn't save you, you or Minho or Winston. I'm sorry please forgive me" I heard a crying Thomas say but that didn't matter to me. He'll get them back with or without my help and it was only a matter of time before I died for real espeacially with the way we've been living. 

It was now daybreak and bodies were covered including mine. I was waiting to get fully mobility back before I showed my face. I heard Tommy convincing the others to help him take down WICKED. 

"This isn't just about Minho. It's about anyone they've ever taken anyone they will take. Because they won't stop but I'm going to stop them. I'm going to kill Ava Paige." I heard him say and I knew everyone agreed but my reboot had started which made me unable to hear what was said or see anything since my vision turned the same electric blue as my veins. 

"Nice speech Tommy when do we start?" I said sitting up causing just a few screams. He looked like he'd seen a ghost like he didn't believe it was me and he was hallucinating. "Shut ya trap you bloody shank gonna catch flies at that rate" I said standing up and stretching taking my vest off so I could properly get the kink out of my back. 

"What the hell I thought he was dead he literally had a slit throat?!!" Shouted a female from just off to my left and I felt my neck and felt drying blood, nice. 

"My mainframe sorted that all out now where can I shower?" I Said as I started to register the dirt and grime covering my body. 

"You come back from the dead and now you want a shower?!! How about an explanation?!!" Shout Frypan and I sighed, I really didn't want to get into this. I saw some unfamiliar faces and raised an eyebrow at them, Tommy trusted someone? 

"Who the bloody hell are they?" I asked and Frypan seemed to be quickly losing his cool. 

"Well Hermano Maybe you should tell us that since 5 minutes ago you were dead?" Questioned the man who seemed Latin American. Maybe I hadn't been around but these were my friends I wouldn't hurt them. In a rage that I didn't have before I grabbed the man as when he was talking he walked into arms reach and I threw him into his back winding him and causing the unknown girl to scream. I straddled the man and punched him, throwing punch after punch until Frypan kicked the side of my head that was still sensitive from the surgery knocking me off him. 

"Newt man you can't go punching people like that espeacially when they've helped us" Said Frypan helping me stand looking only slightly apologetic. I waved him off and crouched next to the old guy who was  wing fussed over by the girl with the shaved head. 

"Listen and listen good you may have helped them across the scorch but I assure you that I've seen them go through worse" I Said before standing and leaving. 

"Newt wait!!" But I left and didn't look back.
