The Disparate One

Chapter 81 - Anew

Fier looked down at Ray when he kneeled down closer to him. Ray was still conscious, Fier quickly stabbed him with another syringe that should help him. He also placed the lance next to him before leaving him to join the other two robots. Cal was walking towards back to the group right after he got kicked, he landed on his feet with style. The three robots are already ready to fight against Cal, all they need is to get through that armor while also avoiding the deadly graphene longswords.

Vier loaded his weapon with explosive rounds and released one bullet after aiming it to Cal's head, dead center. The three were surprised when they witness Cal deflected the bullet away from him when it was just inches away from him. Nite decided that it's his turn when Vier started changing his bullets. Nite pointed the rifle at the man and pressed the trigger without hesitating. His bullets are also explosive, but more sensitive than Vier's. It is designed for fast moving targets and weak forcefields, it will instantly explode once it made contact with any kind of solid object.

Ray was taking deep breaths as he was getting up with the lance in his right hand. He can see them in the distance. Nite continued to fire but then suddenly Vier joined him after he completely changed all the rounds. Cal is still standing on the floor, shielding himself from the explosion whilst moving his longswords to block the path of every bullet that is flying towards him.

The entire facility is now drowning in darkness when the last evacuating spacecraft has finally left. All five of them can see through the darkness and can hear themselves clearly even though there are sounds of water, debris that is plummeting to the bottom, and the explosions. Somehow, Cal's armour unexpectedly emitted a powerful shockwave. Ray was fast enough to grab onto something, the other three robots' feet have strong magnets fixed under it and it immediately activated.

They heard a short series of explosion in the distance behind them, four of them turned around and found that some bullets that the two robots fired were thrown to the ceiling and exploded on impact, contributing more debris that is larger than it should be, most of the pieces easily closing the giant opening on the wall which is their only way out, also putting an end to the current of the water. As the result, the sea water started to rise fast once again.

Ray looked down and he can clearly see that the water is coming up and he guessed that they only have a few minutes left before this facility completely fills up. He also noticed the floor to the server room that is getting too close for the water level to be able to reach. He then quickly looked at the robot when he heard someone yelled in pain, he turned and found Vier was stabbed by Cal who is now staring at Nite, probably his next target, and then Fier and lastly him. Ray ran towards the group whilst also telling Fier to stay away but the robot didn't listen, he too charged towards Cal who was about to execute Nite.

Fier successfully got Cal's attention and now they are fighting with immense speed just a few feet away from the damaged robot and Nite who approached Vier for assistance. Ray also came and joined the fight.

"I-I'm fine, go!", said Vier to Nite, telling him to help the two against Cal and Nite nodded at him and grabbed his loved rifle before leaving him.

Ray, who was kicked away by just a couple of meters by Cal, looked at Nite and his eyes grew when he was watching him discharging a single explosive bullet towards the armoured man. Cal, who is attacking Fier, heard the gunshot to his left. As his response, he kicked the robot away from him, turned to face the bullet, and diverted it away from him. Another explosion occurred nearby. Fier's body, in flames, propelled out of everyone's view and fell down to the water below. Nite realised his mistake, and it was a very big, bad one. He looked at Ray in the distance when suddenly Cal pierced his two graphene longswords into Nite's battery, resulting in another massive explosion. Vier was on the floor of the hanging and swaying metal catwalk in the distance, near the explosion. He witnessed his brother die and his friend too.
