Chapter 10 - Part Ten: Cabin Fever

{Third Person POV}

Radioactive Snow began to swarm around intensely as MX and Doll stood a few feet away from one another, staring at each other.

Doll (Russian): Long time, no see, Maxxie.

MX tilted his head as he glared at Doll.

MX: What do you want?

Doll (Russian): The same thing you want. Answers.

MX glared at Doll, his red eyes reflecting off her visor.

MX: I don't need help.

MX turned and began to walk away, when Doll spoke up again.

Doll (Russian): Is that what you said to my mother at the Cathedral?

MX stopped and slightly peaked behind his back.

MX: I don't know what you're talking about.

Doll used her solver to close the door, preventing MX from leaving, which only angered MX more

Doll (Russian): I know all about the Cathedral. I know that there's a way to cure this Solver from me in there and I know you need to find out if Nori is alive or not still.

Doll was suddenly lifted off the ground as MX's tail wrapped around her throat as he held up his arm with a rocket launcher equipped, aimed at her head.

MX: What do you know?

Doll (Russian): I know....that you, Uzi's mom and my mom.....were close.

MX squinted his eyes before letting Doll go and turning away.

MX: .Keyword being "were." It was a long time ago. Things were different then, Doll.

Doll activated her solver as a knife floated next to her.

Doll (Russian): Is that why you let my mother die by your so called friend's hands?

MX's visor glitched as he turned and looked at Doll.

MX: No. You want to know why I didn't do anything to stop them?

Doll and MX glared at one another other, his tail inches from her face as the knife was inches from his face.

MX: The truth is that I wasn't in control yet. This model was difficult to gain control over.

Doll's eyes widened as the knife dropped to the ground.

Doll (Russian): You really are him?

MX grew a smirk as his head began to glitch as a head of Computer Binary Code stuck out of MX's head.

Max: In living color.

MX returned to normal as he looked down at Doll.

MX: Only you and Uzi know who I really am, and it's going to stay that way.

MX once again turned to walk out but was stopped by Doll.

Doll (Russian): I need your help. You're one of the last people to know what happened here. If anyone knows about the Labs, it's you.

MX groaned as he turned around.

MX: You'll need an access card. Physically impossible to get in without one.

Doll (Russian): What does the access card look like?

MX: You'll know it when you see it.

MX activated his wings and flew out of the cabin, creating a hole in the ceiling as Doll disappeared behind him.

MX flew overhead, noticing V leaving Uzi in a cabin with a familiar sinister smile. MX looked towards Uzi and saw her back away from the window and continue her search.

Grunting MX flew off towards the rest of the Drones, curious to see what N had done with them.

~~~~

MX, now rejoined with the others, was leaning against a cabin post as N was shooting arrows at a target.

N shot another arrow at the target, all hitting the center and actually catching fire.

N: Ah! Sorry. Did I....cheat?

N turned and looked behind him at the other drones as one let go of their bow, an arrow striking and killing a drone next to them.

V scoffed as she flipped off the roof, grabbing a bow from on of the drones.

V: You didn't even kill everyone here. Check this out.

V aimed an arrow at a target before turning around and aiming the drones, who at this point were nervous, but didn't show it as they clapped.

Uzi hid behind a tree, trying to get N's attention.

Uzi (Whispering): Pst, hey.

N turned around and noticed Uzi behind the tree as she held out a small bug like drone.

Bug: Hello :)

Uzi pushed the bug as another text showed up.

Bug: Don't tell V I'm here.

Not getting the idea, N called out to Uzi.

N: Uzi, get on out here! This troupes a team!

Uzi stared in disbelief as N realized what he said.

N: Wait, no! Inclusive reflexes!

V turned towards Uzi as she finally stepped out from behind the tree, nervously laughing.

Uzi: ...hey, everyone.

Everyone except the three Murder Drones got spooked, one even accidentally firing an arrow towards Uzi.

Uzi's solver activated and stopped the arrow before her solver symbol flashed yellow and caused the arrow to turn into a mound of blood with an ugly creature writhing in it.

MX stepped forward, his eyes hollowed, and widened as his hands twitched, yellow electricity sparking off them.

Nori: M-M-Max! H-He-Help m-me!

MX grabbed his head, groaning in discomfort, as Uzi began to step backwards.

Uzi: Um....i-ignore all this.

Uzi continued to back away as some of her classmates stood next to N for protection. V turned her hands into swords, ready to attack.

Uzi: I was just....going....I LIVE IN THE WOODS NOW!

Uzi quickly ran off into the woods, disappearing into the darkness around the camp.

MX regained calmness as he stared at where Uzi disappeared from.

MX's Mind: This is.....worse than Nori's.

~~~~

Uzi ran into a cabin, using her solver to block the door and close all the blinds shut.

Uzi opened her bag, the zipper flying off as she attempted to reach inside, only to stop as the sounds of the clock rang out through the cabin causing her to use her solver and smash the clock as well as lil the lights all but one.

Uzi turned towards the light, about to user her solver on it, when MX seemingly teleported inside the room.

MX: Uzi!

MX slid next to Uzi, pulling her into a hug, trying to comfort her. Uzi holding onto MX, hiding her face, not noticing her solver still active.

{Moments Before}

MX was stand between N and V as they both had different ideas on what to do with Uzi.

N: V! We can't hurt Uzi!

V: We do our jobs, and that THING leaves us alone.

MX pushed both V and N to the side.

MX: Both of you shut the hell up! I'm going to go find her.

V: You're on her side!?

V took a step forward but was met with a rocket launcher to the face.

MX: I'm on my side! I'm doing things my way, so stay out of my way!

MX reverted his hand back to normal and using his propulsion system, sped off into the darkened forest to find Uzi.

Lizzy: Again, kinda hot in a murderous way.

V glared at Lizzy, who rolled her eyes. V attempted to go after MX but was blocked by N.

N: What's going on, V!? What're you afraid of?

V glared at N as she smacked his hand away.

V: I'm not afraid.

N: I am! Uzi is! She's a kid like us, V! What is wrong with you?!

V looked at N as he turned around, tossing a clipboard behind him.

N: Look after the campers.

N soon followed after MX into the forest to find Uzi. V looked back at the campers, grunting to herself.

V: Do whatever you want.

V marched off in a different direction as two drones, Darren and Rebecca sneak off for a make out session.

{Back with MX}

MX was holding onto Uzi, trying to calm her down, unaware that her solver power was still active.

MX was suddenly blasted backwards as Uzi's solver managed to take control of her. MX crashed into the wall, slowly looking up at Solver Uzi.

MX: Aw, fuck, here we go again.

MX leaped up, activating his sword hands, staring at Solver Uzi.

MX: Uzi! Listen to me, listen to my voice. You don't want to do this.

Two purple solver symbols appeared around MX's arms and effortlessly pulled his arms off, leaving him in a state of confusion.

Solver Uzi: Silly, yes we do!

MX looked at his now two missing arms, still confused.

MX (Confused): Did....Did I just get nerfed? This better for plot convenience.

More purple solver symbols appeared around MX, slowly ripping him apart.

MX: Surely.....plot conveniences.....

MX was ripped in half as his head bounced on the ground, rolling to a corner as Solver Uzi laughed manically.

As Solver Uzi was laughing, voices were heard outside the cabin.

Rebecca (Muffled): Nice.

Darren (Muffled): I get it now.

Darren and Rebecca entered the cabin as a flashlight fell from the ceiling.

Darren and Rebecca walked further in, Darren grabbing the flashlight and turning it on as the door slammed shut causing both to jump back.

Creepy giggling was heard as Solver Uzi lunged out of the darkness, killing Darren and ripping Rebecca in half.

~~~~

The drones were sitting by a fire telling scary stories when the drone known as Emily spoke up.

Emily: Aren't you guys worried about Darren and Rebecca?

Sam: ....real.

Emily: Shouldn't they be back from their "immoral make-out session" by n-

Emily was cut off as Rebecca's upper torso grabbed onto her foot.

Everyone jumped back at the somehow alive robo-girl.

Braidon: Rebecca!

Lizzy: Who did this to you?

Rebecca: Don't remember name....Super....unpopular....

Sam: Descriptive clues, man!

Rebecca: Purple...eyes...Hot Topic...

Rebecca fell limp to the ground as the others couldn't remember Uzi.

Lizzy: I feel like I'd remember someone like that?

Sam: Uh, not in our class?

Solver Uzi suddenly appeared from behind a tree, using her solver to dissolve the fire.

Braidon: Oh...Y-You?

Everyone else just shrugged as Solver Uzi used the Solver to decapitate Braidon, causing everyone else to scream and run.

~~~~

Back at the cabin, Uzi hid in originally, MX's mangled body seemingly melted down into a Liquid Metal before merging together before color being added to reveal a not so dead MX.

Neo MX: Show Time.

Wasting no time, Neo MX sped out of the cabin, searching for Solver Uzi or anyone else at that point.

As Neo MX flew through the forest, he soon found what he was looking for when he heard the screams of some of the other drones.

Arriving to the source of the screams, Neo MX saw the dead body of the drone known as Sam.

Neo MX stepped forward, crushing the body of Sam as he continued his search. Using his enhanced vision, Neo MX found the trail of Solver Uzi and followed it.

After following the trail, he saw V "save" Lizzy from being killed by Uzi.

V: Killing her. Not saving you.

Lizzy: Okay, mom.....

V marched closer to Uzi, activating her sword hands.

V: New body, same horrors, huh, Cyn?

Uzi: I....dont know who that is... Can I....talk to N?

V raised her sword up.

V: Tch. I'll make sure you can't.

Uzi winced in pain, before her Solver Tail emerged from the brushes, biting V's arm and ripping it off.

Using the Solver powers, Solver Uzi ripped V's sword off her broken arm and flung it at her, only for it to be smacked away.

Solver Uzi then slammed V into a tree, ably to kill her when a blast sent Solver Uzi backwards and V crashing into the ground.

V looked up to see Neo MX standing between her and Solver Uzi

V: M-MX....I-

Neo MX: Not now.

Solver Uzi stood up, growling and glaring at Neo MX, who remained unfazed.

In a blinding speed, Neo MX sped towards Solver Uzi, who put her arms up to block.

(A/N: Obviously not in a Super Form)

Tucking into a ball, Neo MX spun around at high speeds.

(A/N: Again, not in a Super Form)

Solver Uzi slammed into the ground and crashed into a tree stump.

As Solver Uzi was standing up, Neo MX grabbed her by the throat and stared into her visor.

Solver Uzi: You should be dead!?

Neo MX: I am the Ultimate Solver! It will take more than a measly attack to defeat me!

As Neo MX was fighting Solver Uzi, N managed to show up and stand next to V.

N looked down at V, knowing this interaction started with her.

N: What did I tell you about antagonizing her?

V grunted as she crossed her arm.

V: Ugh! You always take her side.

The two were interrupted by screaming as Solver Uzi was flung into the sky by Neo MX.

N: Oh, look! It's Super MX!

Neo MX turned and looked at N, who looked back at him.

Neo MX nodded as the two of them flew into the sky after Solver Uzi.

Uzi was trying to fly as she fell but was failing until she was caught by Neo MX, as N flew next to him.

N: Uzi, wanna tell me what's the matter?

Uzi reacting quickly by covering herself with her wings.

Uzi: No, don't look. I'm gross and eating people and stuff!

Neo MX: Have you met us?

N: Yeah, we'll figure that part out.

N then opened Uzi's wings to look at her.

N: But you know that's not what I mean?

Uzi: Are you, like...gonna leave me?

Neo MX's glare softened a bit as he looked down at the purple eyes drone.

Neo MX's Mind: Of course not, Uzi.

N: Uzi-

Uzi then broke free from Neo MX as she tucked herself back into her wings.

Uzi: Never mind, it's stupid!

N: Before we met, scary stuff was actually pretty scary. Then tonight, too, cause you weren't with me to make it fun somehow. I kinda forgot what that was like.

Uzi peaked out from her wing.

Uzi: Same.

N then grabbed Uzi's tail and made it talk.

N (Goofy Voice): Then we'll stick together.

Neo MX noticed the ground approaching and slowed his approach unlike Uzi and N.

Neo MX: Ground's coming up?

Neo MX's warning fell upon deaf ears (?) as Uzi snatched her tail away from N.

Uzi: Don't fricken touch it!

Uzi snatched her tail back before holding it up to N.

Uzi (British): Plus, my voice is more like-

Uzi and N crashed into the ground as Neo MX landed normally on the ground.

As he landed, his body released tons of steam as he returned to his normal MX form.

V jumped up as MX walked next to her. He lowered her swords, shaking his head.

MX: She's fine.

MX flashed a smile at V, who smiled back before she looked back at N as he held Uzi, bridal style. Lizzy walked next to V and MX.

Lizzy: Ew.

V quickly turned around and glared at Lizzy, as MX shook his head.

V: Don't patronize me.

Lizzy: What? I think it's gross all by myself. God, you're a diva lately.

~~~~

After rounding up the remain drones and teacher, everyone boarded the bus it began to take everyone home.

As the bus drove back, the Teacher clearly noticed some drones missing.

Teach: So, missing some campers here?

V looked at MX as he sat next to her. He looked at her and shrugged.

V: Yo, We get hungry, idiot.

The teacher turned back around in the seat.

Teach: No name calling. Just a question.

MX chuckled lightly as he looked out the window, his red eyes reflecting off the glass.

As he stared out the window, his red eyes occasionally glitched from red to yellow.
