Chapter 3: A DAY TOGETHER
It was 10 PM, almost 11.
G was flying around in the air to do his job as a hero that he loves and save some worker drone's lives, but there was a problem, he wasn't in the mood for it, he was still thinking about his little argument with Khan this morning and it demotivated him a lot.
He kept flying while hugging himself and staring down with a distressed expression.
G: "I couldn't convince Mr.Khan… What kind of hero am i?"
While he was flying he accidentally bumped against someone.
G: His eyes widen a bit "Oh, I'm sorry-"
He stopped himself, as he noticed in front of him three murder drones, two females and a male.
The trio turned around to face him, two of them had malicious smiles, as they seemed somewhat happy to see him.
The murder drone in the middle floated closer to him with her arms crossed.
J: "There you are, we were searching for you, G."
G: His eyes widen more "How do you know my-"
his expression turns serious, as he glances at N "You…"
N: Raises an eyebrow in amusement
J: "Yes, he told us everything."
G: Glances back at J and gets into fighting position "I'm not scared of you-"
J: Interrupts G "Hey, calm down, we don't want to fight, we want to help you."
G: Lowers his arms and raises an eyebrow in confusion "Help me? With what?"
J: "With your memories, G.
From what N told us, you don't remember anything."
V floated closer to G too, holding her own hands and looking the most concerned of the three.
V: "Come on, G, don't you know who we are? I'm V, he is N and she is J, we're your friends."
G: looking angry "I'm not friends with murderers like you! The only friend i have is friend Uzi."
J: "That purple girl that N told us about? Don't make me laugh.
She's supposed to be a target, a victim, not a friend."
G: "I'm not hurting her, I'll never do it! The only one I'll harm is you." He returns into fighting position
J: "Sigh…"
J glances at N and V for a second, before looking at G and floating a bit closer to him.
J: "Listen, we can do this the easy way or the hard way.
You can stay on our side and return to your old ways or we will force you to do so…"
G: Stares sharply at J and clenches his fists "I'm not scared of you…"
J: "Good for you then."
V: "J, maybe we should-"
Before V could finish talking, J already charged against G and pushed him down until they hit ground.
V: Gasps in shock "Oh my god, G! N we have to sto-"
V turned to the side to look at N, but he was already gone to join J.
V: Looks at the fight in horror "I have to stop this."
V quickly started flying down to stop J and N.
G was struggling to keep up against the two and flied inside a random building to hide.
J: "This is going to be easy.
Let's go N-"
She stopped herself, as she saw V flying quickly inside the building, which surprised both.
J: "Whoa, she really couldn't wait for us, huh?"
V landed on the floor and closed her wings, before slowly walking around to find G.
V: "G? Don't hide from me, please.
I don't want to harm you like J and N, i swear."
Meanwhile, G was hiding outside the building.
He glanced at V thanks to a broken window next to him, but that was enough to get noticed by her.
V: "G, wait!"
G quickly backed away from the window and in a state of panic he looked around for anything that he could use as a weapon.
He noticed a frozen pan sitting on the snowy ground and quickly picked it up, all while V opened her wings and started flying towards the window.
G held the pan in front of the window and a loud THUD was heard.
G threw the pan away and entered the building, being careful to not step on V, who was knocked out cold on the floor.
G: "phew…"
But while his guard was down, J broke down a wall by charging against it and intentionally hit G with a punch in the stomach, sending him flying away.
G tried to stand up, but J pushed him and pinned him down on the floor with her feet on his chest, before her left hand switched to a blade, which she pointed at G's neck.
J: grinning "Come here, N, i found him!"
N flied and landed near J.
G: With a pained expression "I-I'm still.. not scared... of.. you…"
J: "There's no need to be scared, this won't hurt at all."
G looked at J's leg on top of his chest and got an idea.
He grabbed her leg with both of his hands and threw her away with all of his force and while keeping his grip tight, he started to hit N with J herself until they were both temporarily dead.
G was breathing heavily, as he left J's leg and stared at the two bodies with a tired expression.
Suddenly, he heard someone's steps and turned to the right side to see V.
G right hand switched to a rifle and pointed it at V.
V: her eyes widen and gestures to not shoot "Wait-wait-wait-wait i don't want to fight, please liste-"
G shot her in the head before she could finish talking, before he switched to his right hand again.
He noticed n and J's bodies starting to regenerate and so, he quickly opened his wings and flied away by breaking through the ceiling.
G: "I need… oil.. right now…"
G flied towards the bunker where Uzi lives and landed in front of it.
He weakly knocked on the door and waited.
G: "Someone... open… p-plea-..."
With no oil inside his stomach, G overheated and passed out in front of the entrance.
The door slightly opened after a few seconds.
???: "Who is it-" Notices G's lifeless body "Oh, no…"
A few minutes later, G opened his eyes slowly, his vision still a bit blurry, but he could see a figure staring at him, it was Uzi, who looked extremely concerned.
Uzi: "G!? G can you hear me!?"
G: Sits up and puts an hand on his head "Ugh… what happened? Where am i?"
Uzi: "You're in my dorm right now.
We found you outside the bunker completely passed out, what happened!?"
G: "Oh, i just needed some oil to refill myself, but, i got here too late…"
Uzi: Calms down a bit "I see, that's understandable…"
G stands up from the bed while still rubbing his head.
G: "Thank you for worrying about me, friend Uzi, but, i need to go now."
Uzi: "Already? Don't you think that you should get some rest first? You can stay here, i don't mind."
G: "I can't rest, friend Uzi, there are bad guys roaming around and killing people, i can't let innocent people die!"
Uzi: "Sigh… Stupid hero job… Come on, G, I'm sure one night can't be the end of the world, right? Please!"
Uzi held her own hands and stared at G while trying to make a cute pleading expression to convince G to stay and keep her company.
G looked troubled in making the decision, but he eventually gave up to Uzi's manipulation.
G: "Fine, but only for this one night."
Uzi: Her smile widens a bit "Thanks!"
G: "Nice clothes by the way."
Uzi: She glanced at her pajamas "Uhm… thank you."
G: Looking around the room "So, what do you want to do?"
Uzi: Her smile fades "Well, i was actually going to sleep right now, i just wanted your company…" She looked away, expecting G to be annoyed or angry.
G: "Oh, you want me to be your night guard?"
Uzi: Looked at him surprised "What? No, i-"
G: Interrupts Uzi and his smile widens "Of course I'll be your night guard, friend Uzi!"
Uzi: "Ah… so, i can just go to sleep? I mean we can play something if you want-"
G: Picks up Uzi "Don't worry about entertainment, friend Uzi, worry about resting now, you have school tomorrow."
G then proceeded to lay Uzi on her bed and cover her with the blanket.
G: "Do you need a good night kiss too?
Uzi: "N-no thanks!"
G: "A little story to help you sleep?"
Uzi: "Please, you can just sit down and do your… job."
G: "Received!"
G sat down next to Uzi's bed and leaned on the wall with his legs crossed.
Uzi stared at him for a moment, trying to process everything that happened, before turning around, turning off the lights and going into sleep mode.
Two hours passed and G was still sitting there with his silly little smile, until a noise caught his attention, something that sounded like a sob.
G stood up in confusion, before looking at Uzi and seeing her trembling and quietly crying.
G: Whispering with a concerned expression "Oh no, she's having a nightmare."
G rubs his chin for a moment to think of a solution, before smiling and raising his index finger
G: "I know what to do."
A few hours later, Uzi's alarm clock turned on, which caused her to wake up.
Uzi: "Ugh… turn off, you stupid thing…"
G: "Did you sleep well, friend Uzi?"
Uzi: "Hm? Yes, i.. think-"
Uzi stopped herself when she realized that she was laying on top of G, who was sitting on her bed and hugging her gently.
Uzi's eyes widened in surprise and confusion.
Uzi: "What the…"
G: "Oh, right.
Basically you were having a nightmare last night, so to calm you down, i decided to stay closer to you for the rest of the night."
Uzi: She stayed silent for a second and started blushing at the realization that she slept on top of him "T-that's… very nice of you…"
G: "No problem, friend Uzi.
Now it is time for me to sleep while you go learn something at school."
Uzi: "Sigh… right…"
Uzi stood up from the bed to prepare herself from school
Uzi: "By the way there are some oil bottles in my closet in case you're hungry, i don't want you to pass out again."
G: "I'll remember that."
While Uzi kept changing her clothes, G had already entered sleep mode.
A few minutes later and Uzi was ready to go with her usual clothes and her back bag, she looked at G sleeping for a few seconds with a sad smile, before walking out of her dorm.
Khan stopped Uzi when she walked out.
Khan: "Good morning, Uzi.
How's G?"
Uzi: Trying to hide her annoyance "Morning dad… G is fine, he's sleeping right now."
Khan: Smiling "Good to hear.
Have a great day."
Uzi: "Yeah yeah, you too…"
Uzi walked to the school hallways with a frown, already expecting her bullies to make fun of her as always and as expected, Doll and Rebecca approached her, but they looked more guilty than any other thing.
Uzi: "I don't care about your bullshit, just let me pass-"
Rebecca: "We're sorry…"
Uzi: Raised an eyebrow in surprise and confusion "You're, what?"
Rebecca: "Yeah, we're both sorry for everything that we did to you… we always bullied you, because we thought it was funny to see you angry, but, yesterday's incident made us reflect about how wrong our actions were, so, we want to apologize… will you give us another chance?"
Uzi listened with interest, she never expected that the two would feel bad for tormenting her for years
Uzi: "hmm… not really, at least not right now.
A simple apology can't justify years of bullying, you know?"
Rebecca: "We understand, but, we promise to treat you better from now on."
Uzi: "I hope you keep that promise.
Where is Lizzy by the way?"
Rebecca: "Lizzy? She's waiting for us near her locker.
We tried to convince her to apologize too, but she's just too stubborn, i swear!"
Uzi: Groaning in annoyance "So, this mean that she'll keep bullying me, right?"
Rebecca: "Well, she said that she's still a bit scared of your, friend, so she will probably go softer with you now, but we'll still try to keep her away from you anyway."
Uzi: "I see.
Whatever, at least you two were smart enough to redeem yourselves."
The school bell rings.
Rebecca: "Well, we gotta go in class now.
Let's go."
Uzi: "mhm, whatever."
A few hours later, Uzi returned to her dorm, where G was still sleeping peacefully on her bed.
She dropped her back bag on the floor and walked closer to G to take a look at him and talk to herself.
Uzi: "Out of all people my first friend had to be a murder drone.
I wonder how he lost his memories… sigh… i don't care at this point, he made my life so much more bearable, maybe he's the best person i could've befriended."
Uzi turned around, sat down on her rotating chair and opened her laptop to kill time.
A few hours later and it was already 10 PM, Uzi did nothing, but stay on her laptop all day, since G sleeps during the day like every other murder drone unfortunately, but now it was night time, which meant that he was about to wake up at any moment.
G: Groans in tiredness and sits up from the bed "Ah, what a good sleep."
Uzi: Takes her headphones off and turns around with the chair "Hey, you're finally awake."
G: He stands up while smiling "I sure am.
i feel better than ever and ready to save some lives!"
Uzi: "Hehe, of course you are."
G: "How was school, friend Uzi?"
Uzi: Her smile widened a bit "It was good actually and it's all thanks to you."
G: "No need to thank me."
Uzi: "Really? I should at least give you something in return."
G: "Well, you can give me a bottle of oil then."
Uzi: "Sure, you can take one."
G opens Uzi's closet and takes one of the many bottles of oil.
G: "Well, it was fun staying here, friend Uzi, but justice is calling and i have to answer."
Uzi: "Right right, go do your heroic stuff.
I'll just stay here and continue to live my life i guess…" She says looking a bit sad
G: his smile fades "Hey, no need to be sad, I'm sure we will meet each other again."
Uzi: "i know that, I'm just feeling weird, like I'm getting attached to you.
It feels so wrong…"
G: Tilts his head to the side "Why should it be a bad thing?"
Uzi looks at G, her eyes open slightly, as she smiles softly
Uzi: "You're right, there's nothing wrong about it.
See you in the future, G."
G waved at Uzi, before walking out of her dorm, leaving Uzi alone with her thoughts again.
As G walked towards the exit, Khan decided to follow him to open the doors for him.
Khan: "Hi, G.
Feeling any better?"
G: "Never felt better, Mr.Khan."
Khan: "Good… good…"
G: Looking sad "By the way, can we make peace for the argument we had yesterday? Please?"
Khan: Raising an eyebrow in amusement "You want to make peace? Come on, it wasn't that serious of an argue.
Do i look like i hate you right now?"
G: His sad expression fades away "Well, you're right, Mr.Khan."
Khan tried to hide the fact that he still didn't fully trust G, because he's a murder drone.
He felt relieved, as he opened the last door and G flied away.
Khan: "Sigh… Why do i feel like my daughter will get in trouble because of him?"
