Few hours had passed. In a meanwhile Vector had to fix XY's hand again. It's wires hadn't survived reactor overload. Vector had to remove all the wires and connectors and to replace them with new, it was difficult because hand is factory made and isn't supposed to be taken apart. While he was doing that XY scanned his entire body for more hardware failures. Luckily scan found zero new failures. XY asked himself if his and Vector's weapons were enough for them to go against one of the largest cartels in an existence.

"I think our guns and lasers are weak against an entire army of other robots."- said XY.

"Yes... I didn't think about such an unimportant stuff."-said Vector sarcastically.

"Indeed, I will now open an online store to see If they got something that's worthy for that kind of a combat."

"Nice, but why do we need better weapons may I ask? Can you just use your reactor to vaporize them?"

"I would like to, but If they hit me while core is exposed fusion will stop. I would be switched off instantly and possibly killed with you in the same moment."- XY smiled at Vector.

"Ahh, yes... I remember... Wait! I think I have some old and powerful human made guns in my storage."- said Vector loudly.

"Okay, while you check I'll see what internet has to offer."

"Brandy!"-shouted Vector-"You lazy rat, move your virtual ass and show me all human made weapons that I have, thank you!"

Suddenly rather large display that was camouflaged turned on. At first it displayed a symbol of Vector's workshop. Then a Brandy appeared. Vector bought him to search for his stuff online and offline. Vector bought him for an ex-government developer and paid it 250MWh which was very good amount considering it was just a virtual assistant. But Brandy wasn't just an assistant, he was a special kind of A.I. that connects to every system in Vector's house. He could control everything from lights and cameras to doors, defense guns and lasers on the roof. His appearance consisted of two large dots, one for each eye, and a curved line for mouth. Nose was just one thick vertical line. All of those lines and shapes were light green, put on the black background. He looked like this: ":-)", rotated ninety degrees clockwise of course. He changed emotions by changing shape of every element of his face, the same way that XY and Vector do on displays on their faces. He was very temperament and always thirsty of argument of some sort, he was made that way for government purposes. His behavior was very funny, like a little dog, to Vector and he was never bored in his presence. Here you go, rusty little gear. - said Brandy sarcastically. Brandy faded and 4 pictures of rifles appeared. Only one got a tag "in usable condition", others were very rusty or had a missing part. Only usable one was an old, Soviet made, A-12 that only needed bullets. Vector remembered it was a unique gun designed to fire special kind of dangerous bullets. Those were very expensive and hard to find so Vector got an idea.

"XY! I got my weapon but it needs special bullets. I think we can find them at the Ether market on the Silver Street. My old friend called Sirius has a store there. He can help us"-said Vector excitedly. "Great! I found exactly what I wanted there. We should go there immediately, we can't waist any more time."-said XY with serious voice. He wanted to stop, or kill if necessary, his enemies as fast as possible so the world can live on peacefully. He hated that kind of people, kind who wanted to live of others work and success. XY subconsciously knew their own way of thinking was fundamentally wrong. He wanted that learning gone form this and every world inhabited by robots for good, forever...

"I am going to call "Air Lifter" so we can get there as fast and secure as possible. They should arrive in few minutes."-said XY.

"Perfect, I just need to get my batteries slightly filled up and my weapons ready. It will take a minute or two, you can wait me outside."
