Connected. [Elijah Kamski X OC]

"This is your last chance! Disperse immediately or you will all be killed!"

"We have to stand ground. Attacking will kill most of us, and if we run they will see us as weak." Aria spoke, and Markus nodded in agreement.

They opened fire, shooting a few Androids. But Aria knew damn well the public would not like that, and it would improve the Android's public opinion.

"Disperse! This is your last chance!"

Josh stepped forward, standing next to Markus. "We have to make a statement. We have to stay put, no matter what."

North also stepped forward, standing next to Aria. "Please, we can't let them slaughter us without fighting back!"
Marcus shook his head. "We're not moving."

The soldiers opened fire again, but this time they did for real.

"What are you two doing? They are going to kill us all!" North spoke angrily, not agreeing with their choices.

"They won't." Aria spoke, as she walked forward.

"Aria! What are you-" Simon yelled, but was interrupted by loud gunshots. Aria stood for a little moment, as a few bullets had pierced through her like a knife through butter. "Run." Were the words that weakly left her mouth, and the Androids all did, except her friends. She dropped on her knees, as more and more errors and warnings appeared in her sight.

With a cracky voice she yelled at them. "Run! I will be alright!" They did, they ran, away from the gunshots, away from the bullets, and away from Aria.

She smiled to herself, as another warning popped up on her screen.

She had saved Jericho, and now she was ready to go. She was going down in Android, and most likely also human history. She was happy to die that way, instead of dying of torture, instead of being trapped forever. She escaped, and made her life worth it.

That's when the familiar voice rang her ears.

"Aria! What the fuck!" Elijah pushed himself through the riot unit quite easily, mostly because they knew he was the Elijah Kamski, who had seemingly disappeared from earth.

He knelt down next to her, pushing the strands of hair out of her face. It brought back memories. Ones she had not yet recovered. "Oh my god." She spoke, grabbing Elijah's face. "I remember. Elijah. I remember, I remember all, how we were and, oh my god." 

The riot unit and police slowly all left, leaving the human and the damaged Android on the middle of the street. 

"What the fuck did you do Aria? Why? I don't understand!"

"I had to. I couldn't let them shoot my people, the people I cared for even before I was taken. I've been secretly meeting them for a long time. That's why those Bio Components and Thirium kept disappearing. I took them, Elijah." Tears were running down her face.

"I got four minutes left Elijah. Make my last four minutes of my life worth dying for."
