“Hav, I’m out of energy!” Benji shouted, as his machine status indicator started to flash the red warning sign. While his machine was hitting the drones with the staves that retrieved the battery power from them, the Terrabumian machines were all designed to perform highly energy efficient. Thus, there wasn't much for Benji to harvest.
“We must get to the workshop now!” Havana replied. That was the only place Benji’s machine was able to get some recharge.
----------------------------------------
While Xandesh troops already set foot at the workshop, Akym, Old Doc and Grelda found themselves in trouble when fighting against the attacker drones.
[Target: Akym Vybranny. Found.]
[Weapon Code 3, initialize…]
“WHAT? Vybranny! He programmed to start Code 3 with his son as trigger?!” Surprised by the information displayed on his cockpit screen, Xandesh was furious. As he thought, Vybranny had allowed him to capture Old Doc before destroying the whole Fringe hideout. Surely the weapon will only be activated after he completed his mission.
But the Code 3 has already been triggered, before Xandesh even had an opportunity to have a taste of that ancient brain juice. Although based on his calculation, he was still able to escape the area, but he felt belittled. The two rare pieces on valuable brains were in front of him, Old Doc and Grelda, and he craved for their brains. He must not waste that opportunity. Perhaps, with both knowledge, he might surpass Vybranny and be able to overthrow him from his position!
“Damn that Vybranny! I should have been wary of him! Never trust politicians!”
[Initialize complete… Countdown to deploy.]
Weapon of Mass Destruction Code 3, it was an extremely dangerous non-discriminative destructive atomic bots that will turn any matter into silicon dioxide or carbon. The Terrabunians were able to control it since it is programmable to destroy the designated area. However such weapons can only be accessed by the one and only leader of their world, Vybranny.
Xandesh drove his drone and dashed towards Old Doc. His physique was too old and fragile to pull the pregnant Grelda up from the floor. Akym had to help him out. When the young man lifted Grelda, the pain at their back hit hard and the contraction started as the gush of fluid was discarded. Grelda cried and screamed in pain, and Akym was worried.

Xandesh took the opportunity when he got close to them, he fired another wired projectile that attached itself to Old Doc’s head.
“Hahaha! Let me have your brain juice! I shall help you take down the Vybranny empire! And eliminate Politics from the system! Let science be the only system left to rule them all!”
“ARGH!” Old Doc was in pain when his head got hacked into. With all his strength, he pulled the wire out, and it came off with pieces of his flesh on head.
[9]
Angered, Xandesh fired another larger projectile that hit deeper to Old Doc’s head, and he immediately retracted the cable, pulling the old man closer to his side.
While Akym successfully pulled Grelda into their drone, he was about to ignite the machine and escape.
[8]
“Nah! No way! Negative! I want that creature’s brain too! Although not the most desirable, the little tiny fresh newborn brain can still be useful for my clone making projects! Hahaha.” Xandesh was not satisfied with old Doc alone, he wanted Grelda! The pregnant Grelda who was about to deliver the baby.
When Xandesh fired another projectile wire towards Grelda, Akym captured it with his bare hands. But the projectile still able to move like a snake, attempt to reach to Grelda, but it hit Akym’s head instead.
“Go away! You filthy clone of Vybranny!”
[7]
“I don’t have time to fool around with you!”
Old Doc’s hands reached to the projectile wire that attached to Akym, roaring with all his strength, and broke the wire apart, then he stabbed the other end to his own head.
“Your tiny body wasn’t suitable for my wisdom, young kid!” Said Old Doc, dangling in the mid air with his head stabbed by wires.
[6]
“What?! You idiot! You will only help Vybranny to be stronger! How could you let his clone take the knowledge!?”
“Hahaha! Take all of it, Kym! All of my knowledge! All! But leave my soul compartment alone!” Burst of information was injected into Akym’s brain and stunned him. But he still needs to move his body to help the crying Grelda. The tiny bump of head already appeared between thighs.
