Trap

2B's POV

I jumped down the cliff and sliced a machine in half. I began to sprint and killed any machine that stood in my way, A2 and 9S right next to me. The others were behind me, giving me fire support and cover. Machines started gathering around so I ran faster and back kicked the first one and he exploded when it crashed into a pipe. I swung my sword upwards and started slicing a machine everywhere. I threw my sword at two machines as they blocked my way. A machine with a bullet proof shield came running at me so I dodged to the side and sliced it in half.

"2B, A2, 9S, Avery, Boris. We'll take care of things outside, get inside and retrieve Creed." said Anemone

I nodded at A2 and we dashed towards the main control room. We sliced and cut our way through the machine's lines while 9S was busy hacking and Avery and Boris were busy popping their heads with their guns.

My Pod shot his laser beam at two steel doors in front of us causing an explosion. We dashed inside and there were dead machines who got caught in the explosion. Boris and Avery quickly turned around and shot the remaining machines running after us. I jumped up and kicked a machine with both of my legs. The machine crashes into another machine and explodes. The factory was big and I don't know where Creed was located.

"Pod where's Creed?" I asked

"At the top of the factory where the control room is." replied my Pod

I ran up the long staircase, hoping that Creed was still alive.

I got to a platform and in standing in my way were three Goliath bipeds. By this point I was mad at the fact that my love was being held and tortured by the merciless machines.

"Stay out of my way!" I yelled

I dashed and threw my sword at the middle Goliath so hard that it went right through it killing it instantly. A2 cut off the arms and legs of the other one and then it's head while 9S hacked into the last one.

'I'm coming Creed, just hang in there.'

Creed's POV

'Goddammit, they're not supposed to be here!'

I struggled on my chains but to no use. My body feels like it's on fire from the electrocution I received every minute. Now the machines who were guarding my cell left to join the battle against the invading androids.

The distant booms and gunshots could be heard from here. I just hope that I get out of my bounds and warn them about an immediate danger before it kills us all. I could hear the distant gunshots get louder every minute that passes by.

"2B GET OUT OF HERE!" I tried yelling but to no effect

I continued to struggle with my chains until I heard my name being called.

2B's POV

"I'll stay here and cover our backs." said Avery

I nodded and got to the top floor with the rest and I looked around for Creed.

"Creed!" I called out

"2B?!"

I looked to my left and saw Creed hanging on the ceiling with his hands tied on top of him.

"Creed!"

"2B you have to get the hell out of here!" he yelled at me

"I'm not leaving you." I replied

I kicked open the door, breaking it and entered the cell.

"2B you don't understand, I heard the machines. It fucking talks, it said something about a virus." said Creed

I cut off Creed's chain and untied him and hugged him tightly.

"That's not important, we're here to get you out of here." I comforted him

Creed gets up and cocks his gun and I hand him his sword and he takes it but shakes his head.

"They said something about a virus, I was the bait 2B and you fell for their trap." said Creed

"What trap?" asked 9S

And then something starts beeping and then an explosion but not like from a bomb but an EMP. It hits me and I scream in pain and clutch my head and I fall into complete darkness.

Creed's POV

An explosion blows me off my feet and I hit my head on a bar and I lose focus. I tried getting up but everything around me became blurry so I shook my head to gain focus but everything stays the same.

"Creed!" yelled Boris

He shakes me which helps me regain my focus and I look up at him.

"What was that?" he asked

"I have no idea." I replied

He gives me his head to help me up but before I could even take it, a sword impales him through the chest. I gasped as blood spilled on my face and my clothes. I watched as Boris tried to say something but the sword got pulled out and then Boris got impaled again and again at least 8 times. He falls down next to me and I look up and I was shocked to see who killed him.

A2 was standing there with a bloody sword, Boris' blood ran down her sword and a puddle of blood was on the floor.

"A2?" I called out

She looked up and I noticed that her eyes were glowing bright red. That's when I noticed 2B and 9S get up slowly and they take off their visors, revealing glowing red eyes.

"No, 2B, Nines, A2." I whispered in fear

All three of them began to approach me so I got up and ran out with them chasing after me. Their expressionless face and glowing red eyes right behind me.

"Creed!" yelled Avery

"Run!" I yelled

Her eyes grow wide and she just stands there in shock. I grabbed her hand and ran with her down the staircase. The noise of footsteps behind us grew louder every second, gaining on us.

We exited the factory through the main doors which were blasted but I slid to a stop and I was scared lifeless. Standing in front of us was every android from the camp, but their eyes were also glowing red.

"What the hell happened?" asked Avery

"A virus." I replied

2B, Nines and A2 we're behind us, looking at us with the intent to kill us mercilessly.

"What now?" I asked

"Pod 042 at your service." a voice came out of nowhere

A laser beam was shot in the air and it hit the floor in front of the androids knocking them off their feet. Another one hits the floor in front of YoRHa androids knocking them off of their feet.

"Run!" yelled Avery

I ran with Avery next to me and I noticed that Pod 042 and Pod 153 were flying next to us.

"Pods why are you here?" I asked

"We were transferred to you when the EMP blast infected the androids." said Pod 042

"Damn it." I groaned

I heard gunshots behind us and bullets started hitting the floor and the metal pipes and all that next to us.

"Head for the hill!" yelled Avery

I ran as fast as I could towards the hill. I turned around and aimed my gun but I just couldn't pull the trigger.

"Creed keeping running you dumbass!" yelled Avery

I continued running and got to the top of the hill and kept running deep into the woods.

"This way!"

I followed Avery and we just kept running, bullets flying past us, hitting trees and the dirt underneath us.

About 5 minutes of running, we were hiding in this hole underneath the root of the tree. We stayed quiet and as still as possible as androids were walking past us not noticing the hole in the roots. It was a small hole but it would be noticeable if looked thoroughly. I saw boots walk over us and walk away as they searched for us. But when we thought we were clear a high heeled shoe stomped right in front of my face and I quickly stayed still in the hole. The shoe belonged to 2B and I looked through a gap of the roots and I saw 2B's face look around. She then leaves and I let out a quiet sigh of relief.

'I'll save you, all of you.'
