Avery's POV

"Black box signal detected, 200 meters away." said Pod 153

I crept through this forest kingdom, cautious of my environment. Wild animals were running around, I even came across this place where it looked like a village that was destroyed. I saw a hut a few meters so I slowly approached it.

"Black box detected inside." said Pod 153

I put my HK G28 and pulled out my Glock 17 and slowly opened the door. I entered the hut but there was nothing in there.

"Black box signal is coming from the bed." said Ood 153

I looked over the bed and saw a body covered by a blanket.

"Is he turned off?" I asked

"Yes he is." replied Pod 153

I threw off the blanket and I gasped.

"Why does he look like Nines?" I asked

"They are the same model, making them have the same appearance." replied Pod 153

I examined him but he was a bit different from Nines, he had black hair and a bit of a smaller nose and a thinner lip, he doesn't really remind me of Gally.

"Wake him up." I said

Pod 153 starts working and soon the android wakes up and gasps when he sees me.

"Calm down." I snapped

"Who are you and why do you have 9S' Pod." he asked

"You know Nines?" I asked

"Yes, he and I are the same type of YoRHa android, scouts." he replied

"Look my name is Avery Reyes and I don't know how long you've been asleep so let me explain. I'm a human being, I know it might be hard to believe but I am and I need your help." I said

He looks at me as if he's looking at a ghost but he just nods his head.

"Every android out there is infected and I need your help. Do you think you can help?" I asked again

He nods so I led him outside and led him back towards our rendezvous point.

"So are you the only human that's alive?" he asked

"No, there were three of us, but one was killed." I replied

"I'm sorry." he replied

I ignored that part and we continued walking.

"What's the other human's name?" he asked

"Creed Dominic." I replied, "I realized that I didn't get your name."

"I'm 4S." he replied

"Let me guess you want to be called Fours?" I asked

"No not really." he replied

'Nines' so much better than you.'

When we got there Creed was panting hard, sweating like he just ran a marathon.

"Creed what happened?" I asked

"Bumped into trouble." he panted

"I brought the uninfected android." I said

Creed looked up and raised an eyebrow.

"He looks like Nines." he said

"We're the same model but call me 4S." said 4S

"I'm Creed, Creed Dominic."

"Yes I know your friend mentioned you." he replied

"Did you get it?" I asked

He nods and pulls a whole bunch of shit out of his bag.

"Nice." I replied, "You have a weapon?"

"Oh yes." replied 4S

He summoned a sword and it was a common katana, a bit longer than mine.

"Okay now we need to find a place to stay." I said

"Where?" asked 4S

"Pascal." I said

15 minutes later

Creed's POV

"Pascal nice to see you again." I greeted

"Ahh, Creed hello there what brings you here?" asked Pascal

"Look we need your help, every android has been infected with some kind of virus. Now we're being hunted." said Avery

"A virus? Oh no that's not good." said Pascal

"Captain if they learn that we're here, these robots will be in danger." I implied

"We can move to another part of the Forest Kingdom that no one knows about." replied Pascal

"That'll be nice but they have heart beat sensors, they'll find us in a 3 mile radius." I said

"Oh you won't be getting 3 miles close to that place." said Pascal

"Huh?" I questioned

"It's a cave." replied Pascal

I looked at 4S and Avery and just shrugged. A few minutes later, we're all moving as a group towards the cave. A bunch of machines who were supposed to be children we're all clinging around me. It didn't annoy me but I found it a bit weird, after all I still didn't get over the fact that they're on our side.

4S looked got used to it so fast that he was playing with them while walking. Avery was carrying a small machine that looked almost like a newborn baby. We walked for about 15 minutes until a chill went through my spine as if something was going to happen. I looked around but all I saw were trees and bushes.

"Multiple black box signals detected." warned Pod 042

"Fuck!" I groaned, "Pascal, hurry move your machines quickly we'll buy you some time!"

Pascal nodded and everyone started running, they even made screaming noises while running.

"500 meters." said Pod 042

"Avery, shoot them in the leg." I said

Avery nods, cocks her gun and hides behind a tree.

"4S, do you know how to hack like Nines?" I asked

"Yes I do." he replied

"Do that for me but don't kill them." I said

He nods and hides behind another tree as well. I cock my gun and hide behind another tree.

'Avery is behind me while 4S is behind a tree to the left.'

I switched my scope to 3x so I could see further into the forest. I saw the first android appear quietly creeping through the forest while looking at a heart beat sensor. I nod at Avery and she takes the first shot hitting the android in the leg. He screams in pain so I wait for the androids to appear but none show up.

"Pod, are they here?"

Suddenly multiple gunshots and bullets hit the tree I was hiding behind of. I ducked back behind the tree and I noticed that the androids were actually randomly shooting because they were hitting other trees that were way off.

I shot an android's arm and he fell down then another and another. I hid behind my tree again when more bullets started hitting my tree.

"More black box signals approaching." said Pod 042

I ran to 4S and jumped to cover and hid behind his tree.

"4S this is what we're going to do!" I yelled over the noise of the gunshots, "We're going to fall back so stay behind me and use me as cover!"

"But what if you get shot?!"

"I won't!"

I quickly reloaded and put the empty mag back into my vest. I signaled to Avery that we were falling back and she nodded in response.

"Go go go!" I yelled

I move back while shooting at the same time. 4S stayed close to me and moved back as fast as he could. Once he got behind a tree I turned around and ran behind the same tree. I nodded to Avery who then started falling back so I gave her some covering fire, hitting 4 androids in the leg. Some began to fall unconscious thanks to 4S who's busy hacking them.

"Pascal and the other machines are safe now." said Pod 042

"Captain set up some C4s!" I yelled

She nodded and started setting up charges behind different trees and nodded to me.

"4S same thing but this time run as fast as you can!" I yelled

He nods so I take a deep breath before I run.

"Move!"

I ran with 4S in front of me towards Avery. Once we got close to her she started running and she blew up the charges. Explosions and balls of flames covered us and the androids line of fire giving us time to escape.

About 15 minutes later we got to the cave and outside waiting was Pascal.

"Oh thank goodness you made it." he exclaimed, "Hurry hurry get inside before they find us again."

We were guided inside and boy the walk into the cave was pretty fucking long. But it wasn't like a normal cave, it was a beautiful one. We got to a huge opening and there was a village and all the machines had already settled in.

"Looks like we need to figure things out here." said Avery
