Nite was guarding the door when Ray told him that the servers have been refreshed. Nite gently disconnected the cabled from the back of his head and then handed it back to Ray who was still focusing on the main computer. The man was typing some commands when he announced that he will be opening all the door cells and he should go to check for his family since every robot that has been overridden have been also recovered. Nite left the server room with caution, still thinking that it is still not safe.
On the way, Nite was seeing robots on the floor, confused, can't recall to what just happened. He arrived at the floor where the cells are located, of course, he first made sure that it is the original before proceeding. As Nite was making sure that everyone is ok, Ray found the switch that deactivated all the defence systems. Ray also turned off and released the people in the buttering chamber. He didn't know if he did the right thing or the opposite because, after just a few minutes, a rally has formed in the main hall of the facility. A line was formed trailing from the armoury to the main hall, bringing tons of advanced weapons.
"Thank god you two are alright.", said Nite when he was glad to see his family, Fier, and Vier, his brother.
Ray was trying to show them the exit, but they completely ignored it. He tried to contact Nite, Fier or his droid but failed for some unknown reason. When he was about to activate the speakers, the entire facility shook intensely for a moment. It was so powerful that some of the light fixtures have fallen off and huge cracks started to appear throughout the facility. Ray decided to investigate and he discovered that there is a giant robot approaching the power source of the facility.
Just by looking at it, he estimated that the robot was somewhere in the range of 400-500 meters tall. It is also moving fast, like fast-walking. He searched for a way to stop it or at least slow it down before reaching its destination. There are numbers printed on the side of its gigantic head, he guessed that he can control the robot with the main computer but he was wrong. The numbers from the robot showed no results, but he found a way to keep the behemoth busy, and that is closing all the enormous doors in front of it. He hoped that he brought them a couple of hours, then he watched how the robot just destroyed the first door in its path in just seconds. The robot was about to break down the second door but it kneeled down on the floor. Ray leaned closer to the display when suddenly the cameras in that area just completely went down. Ray figured that the robot might have released an EMP if he is correct, then how come the servers and the rest of the facility is still functioning?
Ray sighed and started to rub his forehead when a loud explosion was heard and then followed by darkness. Good thing that the emergency lights responded immediately, making some of the areas of the facility quite lit. Ray left the server room when it activated the energy-saver mode. It means that only some of the servers will still be receiving power, those servers are the vital ones because they are the ones that keep the backups of all the robots and unlike the rest of the servers, everything in them will be erased once they stopped receiving energy. At the moment, they are consuming the reserved power, which can only keep them up and running for a couple of hours. When the reserved power is completely drained, the vital servers will then start to consume the emergency power, which is the last resort and it can only sustain them for an entire day and that's it.
"So glad to see you again, I thought you're dead.", said Fier when he hugged Ray right after he saw him approaching him.
"We need to leave now.", Ray told the three robots who were Fier, Nite, and Vier.
"Vier.", Fier's brother, which is also Ray's droid, introduced himself when he stood up with Nite and Ray returned a nod before he heard someone called his name in the distance.
Ray turned around and found Chap waving his arms at him. He left the three robots who were still standing while almost everyone is preparing for battle, wearing an armour and everything. When Ray stopped in front of Chap, he noticed that Chap was staring at the man that is still inside the cell, curled up on the bed. Ray glanced at the metal door where numbers are printed and recognised it immediately, it is Oxford who is on the bed.
He nodded at the man next to him as thanks and then Chap left them to regroup with the others. Ray stepped inside the confined room as he was trying to call the man's name, seeing if he's getting his attention. The body wasn't showing any sign of movement, so he quickly assumed that he is dead but when he was about to place his hand on Oxford, the body rolled to face him. Ray was speechless and shock when he saw Oxford's face all scratched up and the bloodshot eyes.
"What... happened?", questioned Ray when he sat down on the edge of the bed, staring at Oxford who looked extremely traumatised.
Oxford wasn't talking at the moment, Ray told him to stay where he is as he went out to get some help or a medkit. He called Chap whilst walking pass by him when he found a medkit nearby. Chap followed Ray back to the cell urgently, gently pushing through the crowd. Ray placed the medkit on his lap when he sat down on the floor, helping Chap as he tries to cover the all of the wounds.
