Fire and iron rain down from the sky after the massive explosion in the air. Bishop stands frozen in place as the group of elderly and children all cheer behind him at the sight of the old droids. The heaps of snow resting on their bodies trail off from the high winds on top of the mountain. Revealing their rusted iron, coated crystalline ice stiffening their movement.

Bishop: "This is where you were this entire time... Watching over us from up above... Like the protectors you are... It all makes sense, why you told us to get to the top of the mountain, to wait here, you didn't abandon us with little instruction like I thought... No, you ensured our safety and prepared us for this very moment"

Bishop walks towards one of the droids, with his hand stretched out, reaching towards its cold rusted body.

The Old Droid: "STAY... BACK"

Bishop immediately pulls his hand back to his side and steps back as he adheres to the old droids words.

The seven old droids on top of the mountain come together, each removing very large artillery from beneath the snow where they emerged from. Dragging them to the edge of the mountain and points them towards the enemies swarming down below them. The high winds quickly blow the snow off of these massive destructive weapons, while the droids melt the ice with the heat radiating from their chest. Meanwhile, the Anderthals, aware of the threat of the old droids, prepare their weapons to retaliate with extreme destructive power. Charging the proton cannons on all their remaining aircraft, aimed directly for the top of the mountain where the droids stand readying their artillery.

Anderthal 15: "Fire the canons!"

Anderthal 16: "But we can't locate a target amidst the heavy hail storm, and we are not close enough for our thermal vision to pick up precise visuals of the targets on top of the mountain. We would be firing blindly"

Anderthal 15: "Fire! Before they attack us again!"

Multiple blasts from the remaining aircraft, decimate the top of the mountain, instantly disintegrating one of the old droids caught in the blast, causing the remaining fragments of its artillery gun to fall down below. Massive boulders of ice and stone explode into the air, falling down below onto the group still awaiting the lift's return.

V: "Up above! Everyone find cover!"

The seven droids on the ground with them look up to the incoming debris falling from above and five of them immediately rush to shield the humans with their bodies. While two of them aim towards the massive boulders of ice, riddling them with rapid-fire from their guns, shredding the large chunk of ice into small bits and pieces like shaved ice on a snowcone, with only some minor chunks of ice and rubble smashing into the ground and shattering instantly.

V: "They just rushed to protect humans... With their own bodies... I thought this was a conflict between two opposing sides. Machines simply fighting over who gets to keep us as their playthings but..."

Axel: "You're wrong... They are different from the horrible machines you've grown accustomed to knowing... My mom said they protected me too when The Primordial came after me. She said they were made before the fall of man, mankind's last protectors... The old droids"

V: "Almost all machines were made before the fall of man kid... That doesn't change a thing... The ones who killed and brought us to near extinction were made before it all happened. So I don't see your point..."

Axel: "My point is, not all machines are evil like you think... There are some good ones out there, and these droids are proof of that"

V: "The old droids... They must have been programmed by someone far more skilful than The Primordial himself to still abide by old orders... Especially orders to protect humans..."

Axel: "What do you mean?"

V: "All machines are the same, they can be made to do whatever someone wants by simply programming it within them to do so. They were obviously programmed to protect humans, but during the great rise of The Primordial, he got access to all machines, programming them all to kill every human they saw in sight, turning on even the ones they cared for and known for years... That is why no machine can ever be trusted... Once they receive that kill switch, it doesn't matter how different you think they are or how long they've known you. They will follow the order... No machine ever truly thinks for itself. Just a false portrayal, an illusion that it does..."

Axel: "How can you say that when you witness machines defy the orders and rule of The Primordial, follow their own path, and choose their destiny the same as us?"

V: "Like I said... That's the illusion kid. You'll come to realize it one day"

Axel shakes his head in disbelief at V's statements and glances over to the old droids fighting the incoming horde of machines, holding them at bay from reaching them. As he thinks to himself, "They are bigger than Mom described, but they truly are amazing... Can they really hold off this army until we get away? Maybe we should help them...".

The machine swarm grows bigger as they pour into the village, trampling everything on their way to the base of the lift where Axel and the others are.

Luca: "Uhh, guys... The machines chasing me just gave up and turned around. They took off to the air and started heading for the back of the city, towards the mountains."

Rosie: "Yeah, The aircraft giving chase has stopped too... I was surprised I lost it so easily but it appears it left..."

Raine: "And here I thought I was the only one to lose their tail way too easily... Thought I just became the best runner..."

V: "That's because they are all coming to us... Fuck..."

Caesar: "Yes it does appear the entire city is empty, all machines are heading to your location now..."

V: "Everyone head to the meet up points now! This would be the best time to get that talkative ride's ass back here from wherever the hell it is right now and get off of this island!"

Caesar: "There may still be guards waiting at the entrance, so it would be best to follow the plan and stay out of sight when leaving. I've just handed the blueprints to Leo and Scrappy. I am heading to the entrance now"

Leo: "Guys..."

V: "Just get out of the city, doesn't matter how you do it. We need to go now"

Leo: "Uhh... Guys..."

Axel: "Dad, the old droids are here! They're holding off the machines while we escape"

Leo: "Guys..."

Caesar: "The old droids?"

Leo: "GUYS!!!!"

Raine: "Damn Leo... What is it?"

Leo: "At the entrance... There's..."

Raine: "Spit it out already, I'm heading to the entrance right now... Holy shit... What is that..."

Axel: "What is what? Leo? Raine?"

Leo: "It's a very huge machine... The biggest I have ever seen..."

Raine: "We can't get to the exit... There's no running away from that thing.."

Leo: "At first, I thought the hill of snow in the distance was crumbling or shaking... But that hill... It was a machine lying dormant there... It has a skull head and multiple... legs like a giant spider or something... It's heading straight for us..."

V: "A giant machine, the size of a large hill... Not even your droid friends can take on that... Everyone! Forget the plan, get out of the city by any means necessary. Runners head to the tunnels and escape to the cave with the others. Caesar, do whatever you can to make sure they get there, avoid contact with the giant machine..."

Leo: "Got it, heading to the tunnels now..."

R3D: "Breee Ooooop"

V: "What?"

Axel: "He's saying Scrappy won't fit in the tunnels..."

V: "Dammit... Well, Caesar, you get the dog to us... You will be heading into an army of machines in front of you to get to us... I don't know if these old droids or whatever will stop you two but it seems you know them too. So work whatever magic you did last time at the gate and get to us before we take off"

Caesar: "Understood... Leo tell Scrappy to come to me"

Leo: "Uhh... ok, Scrappy go to Caesar"

Scrappy tilts her head to the side, pointing her ears as she dashes off in the direction where Caesar is. Lily still riding on her back, quickly jumps off and lands on the ground, holding her hands out as she turns around in circles.

Lily: "Brother..."

Leo: "I'm right here Lily, don't worry. Here..."

Leo grabs her hand and starts walking towards the tunnel.

Leo: "Just hold my hand, I'll guide you on our way to the tunnel out of here"

Meanwhile, back at the base of the mountain, the humans awaiting the lift all burst into a panic as the lift arrives at the base.

Marc: "Let me in! Forget protocol! We all need to get into the lift and get to the top of the mountain now! Before the machines destroy what's left of it!"

Howard: "Yes, if we take our time doing this by the rules, 50 at a time? We'll all be dead! The droids are struggling to hold off that army. It's only a matter of time before they break through and get to us!"

Harper: "Everyone! EVERYONE! Calm down... Stick to the plan... And put your trust in the droids! Don't you believe in our saviours?! They are here are they not?! Do you think their appearance right after Bishop reached the top of the mountain to be coincidental?! No! We followed their instructions and now they are here! So continue to follow their instructions and put your faith in them... In me!"

Phara: "Harper is right, Marc grow some balls and stop raising tensions in this already tense situation! You are not helping at all with your foolish panic, you or Howard"

Marc: "You are only calm because you and the women are up next, do you take me for a fool?"

Phara: "Yes, honestly I do"

Lizzy: "Let's stop fighting guys"

Belthorne: "My wife is right... Now is not the time to be arguing. Marc and Howard... Everyone here is afraid. But you two are the only ones going beyond bickering and whispering your complaints. Speak out again and I will end you both where you stand right now. You are putting the entire village's survival at risk... My wife's survival is at risk with your foolish and selfish rambling. Seeking to divide the order in this mess, and a man who would put my village... My family lives at risk for his own selfish actions... I would put an end to him immediately...Do you understand?"

Marc: "... Whatever... Hurry up and get into the lift already, Phara"

Harper: "Thank you Belthorne..."

Phara and most of the other women all huddle into the lift and begin ascending. At the top of the mountain, Bishop lays with his face in the freezing cold snow. Waking to the destruction around him as he regains consciousness. He stands up to see massive craters and cracks all across the ground he stands on, with melted ice and steaming pools of water in holes where the blasts from the machines destroyed. He spins around to make sure everyone is alright, witnessing the elderly and children all getting their bearings on the now uneven landscape in the snow.

Bishop: "Everyone! Get back, Go a safe distance away from here"

He looks back towards the old droids, who have finished melting the ice off their massive artillery, loaded and aimed towards the incoming aircraft. "BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!" Thunderous sounds shake the entire mountain as the old droids unleash their artillery's fire.

"BOOOOOOM! BOOM! BOOOOOM!" Explosions erupt on the enemy machines' side as the four more of their aircrafts are shot out of the sky, "BOOM! BOOM!" two more shots echo from the top of the mountain as massive explosions obliterate many machines on the ground marching towards them.

Anderthal 17: "These intruders. They have commendable firepower. Especially since it seems to be nothing electrical since our weapon jammers seem to be not working on them... Yet the explosive capabilities of their weapons are decimating our numbers! Is the Goliath on route?"

Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author's consent. Report any sightings.

Anderthal 18: "Yes, the Goliath is on route now. It should be arriving at the top of the mountain in T-minus 5minutes"

Anderthal 17: "Well, hurry it up before they take out our final aircraft..."

The lift finally reaches the top of the mountain amongst the chaos of loud artillery fire and explosions surrounding them. Phara leads all the women out of the lift and joins Bishop.

Phara: "You're bleeding Bishop! Are you alright, what happened?"

Bishop: "I'm fine, don't worry about me. Get a safe distance back from any incoming enemy fire"

Phara: "Alright..."

Bishop sends the lift back down below, where Harper waits at the base with his head tilted upwards towards the sky. Watching as the lift begins to descend once again.

Harper: "Ok, they made it up... Alright everyone, prepare to board the lift! All remaining women and medical personnel enter the lift with Belthorne. Axel, join Belthorne in the lift... The next 50 get ready behind Devilleno after Belthorne has ascended"

Axel: "Alright, I'm gonna be heading up to the top V"

V: "I'll join you once the lift has reached the top"

Back in the streets of the city, Caesar and Scrappy quickly make their way to the building with the underground pathway leading to the other side of the mountain. As they arrive, they are confronted by a few machines guarding the building.

Anderthal 19: "Stop right there machine!"

"Pzzzzzzz...." The machine charges its rifle up as it aims it towards Caesar, Scrappy begins to growl as she readies herself to leap onto the machine. But Caesar stops her by resting his hand on her head, calming her down.

Anderthal 19: "By the orders of the city, all unknown machines must be destroyed on the spot due to the breach in our security..."

Caesar then quickly draws his heated blade and carves the machine standing before him in half, taking the rifle from its hands and fires a shot into its metallic skull. "BLAAM!"

"Pzzzzzzzttt! Pzzzzzzt! Pzzzt!" All the surrounding machines aim their weapons towards Caesar, readying to fire. Caesar stares them all in the face as he points his heated blade covered in fire at them.

Caesar: "You insolent scrap buckets dare aim your weapons at a Ti2million?! To do such a thing is to defy the order of The Primordial... Punishable by immediate destruction, as I just served to this fool at my feet. Now let me through, so that I may have a look at this inference, soiling the peaceful arrival of The Primordial. I will eradicate these intruders immediately"

Anderthal 20: "Ti... 2million?!"

Anderthal 21: "That's the elite machine I heard entered the city with a massive container just before this intrusion began..."

Anderthal 22: "That container must have had in this machine creature... Is it a new model of the TiK9s?"

Anderthal 20: "Our apologies Ti2million... I will inform all forces of your incoming assistance to avoid such things happening once again."

Caesar: "Good, now excuse me while I handle this mess for you useless machines"

Caesar and Scrap walk past the guards, entering the building.

Anderthal 20: "Be advised... The Ti2million has just confirmed that it will be handling the situation at hand. Do not get in its way, and provide it with any assistance it may require. The Ti2million is heading towards the battlefield now accompanied by what seems to be a new model of TiK9"

Anderthal 23: "A Ti2million?! And a new and improved TiK9?!"

Anderthal 24: "The intruders are done for now... Will we even need to use the Goliath now?"

Anderthal 25: "I doubt it, but have it proceed to the battlefield just to show the Ti2million that we can still handle ourselves just fine. These intruders will not make a mockery of us"

Caesar and Scrappy drop down into the underground hall from the massive hole in the floor. Quickly making their way through the underground pathway, heading to the battlefield ahead.

Caesar: "Scrap and I have made it through and are travelling through the underground pathway to the other side of the mountain now"

Axel: "Great, I'll be waiting for you guys at the top of the mountain"

Caesar: "No Axel, this mission has become far too dangerous. You should begin your escape as soon as you can. Try to contact that talkative vehicle of yours, and start your retreat. My duty is to assure your safety"

Axel: "You're asking me to leave you and Scrap behind... The children too, you know I can't do that"

The lift finally reaches the base of the mountain once again, opening its doors to the awaiting humans, eager to get inside and begin their ascension. Belthorne holds his wife's hand and leads her into the lift, waiting at the door as he watches everyone in his group enter.

Harper: "Axel, This is you... I'll be joining you all shortly..."

Axel: "Alright, see you soon"

Axel enters the lift with the helping hand of Belthorne. As the door closes behind Belthorne, they slowly begin to ascend. Axel stares out at the battlefield as the old droids fend off the massive horde of machines from advancing towards the humans. As he ascends higher up the side of the mountain, watching the two sides' ongoing conflict, with metallic limbs flying through the air, burning aircraft, destroyed and laid out across the ground, and multiple explosions accompanying the extremely loud ruckus. Amongst all the chaos, he notices something.

Axel: "The old droids... Their numbers are beginning to dwindle... There were 7 of them on the ground with us... Now there are only 3 of them... Can they really hold them off long enough?"

Belthrone: "Don't worry, we still have the ones on top of the mountain giving suppressing fire from above. I have faith in my leader Harper... And he has faith in the droids, if Harper puts all his trust in them, then I also believe they will succeed..."

Axel: "We still need to help them... The old droids have already done so much for us, there must be a way to give them assistance..."

Belthorne: "Kid, there's nothing we can do right now. Let's just let them do what they were prepared for all these years"

Axel: "Years... Just how long were the droids here?... How long have you all been here..."

The lift reaches the top of the mountain, with Bishop waiting for their arrival, helping them out onto the steep and slippery terrain from all the melted snow.

Bishop: "You made it Belthorne! Now we just have to wait for Jazabelle and Devilleno... Then the boss will be on his way up with the last of our people"

Belthorne: "Yes, so long as the droids can withstand the might of these machines... We shall all make it to the top"

Axel hops out of the lift landing onto the ice-cold surface down below. He slips and falls to his knees from the slippery surface.

Bishop: "Hey, you alright kid? Ohhh... Shit..."

Axel: "Yeah... Just a little slip... I'm fine"

Belthorne: "Oh... No... Lizzy! Come to me now!"

Axel: "Wait... What is it?"

Phara: "What is that thing?!"

Bishop quickly jumps to the lift, sending it back down to the others. Axel turns around to witness the massive hill size machine climbing over the top of the mountain in the distance on the other side of the battlefield. With its deep red eyes and long pincher legs, slowly crawling down the mountain as it heads towards the battlefield. The machine opens its mouth, releasing a loud terrifying robotic screech.

Axel: "That's the giant machine?! How will we stop that?! There's no way..."

One of the old droids walks over to Axel, grabbing his shoulder.

Old Droid: "Here... These... Are... The... New coordinates... New island... Secured and uninhabited by machines... All of you must go there now"

The old droid rests a device in Axel's hand and walks back towards the others as they continue to unleash their rain of fire upon the swarm of machines below. However, some of the machines begin to fly up from the ground towards the top of the mountain. Bombarded with rapid gunfire from the droids as they come closer, only one manages to land on top of the mountain just beside the humans gathered together.

Anderthal 26: "Humans? What are humans doing here? Attention all forces, humans are in the hands of the intruders on top of the mountain. Eliminating all of them now"

The old droid in front of Axel turns around and quickly fires its old rusted weapon within its arm at the Anderthal machine, unfazed by the droids weapon the machine proceeds to smack Belthorne and Bishop to the ground as they attempt to attack it. It then grabs Axel by his throat and lifts him into the air. "VOOOOooooo TUU! TUU!" a blast dismembers the machine holding Axel, releasing him from the machines tight grasp.

V: "Now the time to put your practice to use kid, catch!"

V flies just above Axel with his hoverbike, chucking a rifle to Axel. Axel catches the gun and immediately charging it as he aims at the machine in front of him. But the machine is already right over, about to strike him with a nasty blow, however, the old droid smashes its rusted body into the machine. Knocking it over to the ground into the heaps of snow. Axel then runs over to a safe distance away from the violent brawl between the two machines.

V: "We can't just wait around up here anymore, we need to start moving these people into a getaway vehicle... The others will follow once they get to the top"

Axel: "The old droid... It said to take the humans to these coordinates..."

Axel hands the device over to V, he takes it and immediately activates the device, displaying a geographical map of an island.

Axel: "It said this was a safe and uninhabited, even to machines..."

V: "Coordinates? Wait... This island... I've seen it before..."

Bishop: "What did the droid say to you kid?!"

Axel: "It gav..."

V: "Now isn't the time, we need to start looking for a way off this island, and fast. Get everyone under control while I scout the area for a getaway vehicle, maybe those cargo hovercrafts I saw when scouting this island before. We don't have long before that giant thing gets to us... Axel WATCH OUT!"

V shouts as 7 more machines land on top of the mountain from down below, just behind Axel rapidly firing their weapons sporadically. Axel drops to the ground, returning fire with the rifle V gave him. "VOOOOooooo TUU! TUU! TUU! TUU! TUU! Quickly blasting three of the machines directly in their heads, sending them flying off the edge of the mountain, falling back down to the ground below. V swiftly takes out the other two but one grabs hold of the edge of the mountain unknowingly to them. As Axel stands back up to his feet, the machine climbs back up and charges a powerful blast directly at him.

Suddenly, a vehicle smacks into the machine "SMASHH!" Brutally disfiguring the machine upon impact.

O'Ton-omi: "You seem to be in trouble master, Is 'some other time' finally here?"

Axel: "O'Ton-omi! YES!"

O'Ton-omi: "My time to shine! Finally some fun!"

O'Ton-omi zooms off, violently crashing into all the machines flying in the air as it flies towards the giant machine called Goliath.

Axel: "Wait where are you going?!"

V: "That damn car is crazy... But at least it's back"

R3D: "BREEEEEE OOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!"

Axel: "What is it R3?!"

Rosie: "They're..."

Luca: "In the tunnels with us..."

Leo: "Machines are in the tunnels!"

At the very end of the tunnels, dark blue lights encompassed by the thick solid ice glow brightly in the shadows of the icy tunnel. Out emerges two of the assassin machines, battle-worn and ruthless looking, dripping wet from the melting ice. They menacingly approach them with an electrifying chain device in hand.

Assassin 14: "Proceeding with the capture of the children now 23, there are only 10 of them here though and a small red junk bot with them"

Assassin 23: "Then it shall be easy for you to take them all back to the pick-up zone. I have the boy called V and the 11th child in my sight"

Assassin: 19: "Finally, I was itching to get my hands on these little creatures... It's been so long since I squeezed one between my iron fingers"

Leo: "Axel... What do we do?!"

Axel: "Oh no..."

Viktor: "These machines must have been waiting here by our exit... And they look different from all the machines of this city... "

V: "But how... Unless... Wait you said they look different?! We were followed... Bounty hunters!"

Levi: "AAAIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

Aren: "They are coming towards us!"

Alyssa: "HEEELLLLPPP!"

Assassin 19 grabs hold of Leo, slamming him to the ground.

Assassin 14: "Not so rough you scumscrew... The boss doesn't want the goods damaged remember"

Raine: "LEO!"

Lily bares her teeth at the two machines as she walks between everyone, standing just in front of the two menacing machines with her long hair over her face and her fist clenched tightly.

Assassin 19: "What is this one doing? You're that eager to be chained up next"

Meanwhile, back at the top of the mountain. Axel and V begin to panic with no idea of how to handle the current situation. When suddenly, they hear loud booming music approaching them from up above, followed by the whistle of a missile passing through the air heading straight for the enemy horde. "BOOOOOM!" A massive explosion shakes up the battlefield, giving the old droids the upper hand to hold back the swarm of machines. Heavy gunfire begins to rain down from a vehicle flying overhead, Axel looks up to see some familiar faces.

Zaine: "Are all those... People down there?!"

Judy: "Looks that way, seems our boy Axel got his hands full with more than just some blueprints"

Big C: "The large weaponized machine on the other side of the battlefield is charging a very devastating blast at Axel's location right now. We should retrieve him immediately before it fires"

Zaine: "That's bigger than the last one we took down Judy... You got the big guns right?"

Judy: "You bet I do but do I have enough ammo... For that thing... I doubt it"

Axel: "Uncle Zaine?! Aunt Judy?!"

V: "You know those people?!"

Robin: "I will drop down to Axel's location and protect him. You guys can focus on providing us with cover"

Judy: "Go do your thing girl! We got this covered 'POP!' Big C you ready for some fun?!"

As the Goliath charges its attack, lowering its jaw, fully extending its mouth open. A massive force of energy forms within its mouth, radiating high voltages of electricity. Then suddenly "VOOOOOOOSSSHHHH WIIIISSSSHHH WIIIISSSSSSHH WIISSSSSHHHHH"

A cluster of missiles bombard the Goliath's face causing a massive explosion "BAAARROOOOOOOOOOM!". The explosion discharges the energy within the Goliath's mouth, destroying its jaw, completely dislodging it from its mouth. "THUUNNKK! BAMM!" The Goliath's huge lower jaw smashes into the ground below, blowing the snow away.

Zaine: "Whoa... What was that?"

Judy: "I don't know, but whatever it was did our job for us so I ain't mad"

Big C: "It appears to be an unpiloted vehicle"

Judy: "Unpiloted? What do you mean?"

Big C: "In other words, it's A.I operated"

Judy: "Oh shit, that must be Axel's new ride... Man, I gotta get me one of those!"

The Goliath lifts its jawless head up out of the smoke from the explosion as it is bombarded by another barrage of missiles. "WIIISSSSH WIIISSSSHHHH WIIIISSHHHHHH BOOOOM! BOOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!"

O'Ton-omi: "All damages done to own properties or personnel here are all eligible base on the terms to be destroyed under the act of self-defence, no warnings are needed as the parties involved are actively endangering my client. Thank you kindly for your understanding, now get Obliterated!"

O'Ton-omi continues her ongoing barrage on the giant machine, raiding it with highly explosive missiles.

Anderthal 29: "Take out that vehicle!"

Machines begin to fly up into the air, supporting the giant machine and firing their weapons at O'Ton-omi.

O'Ton-omi: "More violators of the client protection policy... Great!"

O'Ton-omi releases multiple large guns from within its trunk, hood and roof and unleashes a massive wave of blasts. Covering the sky like fireworks as they rain down on the machines.

Judy: "Yeah... I definitely gotta get me one of them..."

Back at the base of the mountain, Harper watches as Jazabelle enters the lift with most of the remaining numbers of humans.

Harper: "Alright, Devilleno's group made it up safely even after all the chaos arising, so I trust you will be fine too Jazabelle. I will follow you shortly when the lift returns down to the last few of us"

Jazabelle: "I'll see you soon brother, I'll send this lift down as soon as we reach the top and wait for you."

Harper: "Brother... It's been a while since you referred to me as that... Haha, What happened to you just calling me an idiot?"

Jazabelle: "Shut up, just get your ass up there safely... Your wife and my nephew and nieces... Your children Harp... Are all up there waiting for you... They need their father in this chaotic mess"

Harper: "I'm coming Jaz... Don't worry... You know as the leader I have to make sure everyone makes it up there at least. I can't have anyone left behind on my watch"

Jazabelle: "I can take the last lift, why don't you go up now. You have a family up there waiting for you..."

Harper: "Come on sister, your wasting time... Just go, I'll see you soon"

Jazabelle: "Alright Harp..."

Jazabelle closes the doors to the lift and begins ascending the mountain. However, at the top of the mountain, complete disaster begins to unfold as the assassin machines begin their assault. Destroying the old droids effortlessly as they advance along the side of the mountain, heading for Axel and the other retreating humans.

V spots a large aircraft just below the mountain close to the frozen sea. and begins leading the humans towards the aircraft below.

V: "Axel! We seem pretty covered here now that your friends showed up... Caesar maybe you can get back to the kids in time before those bounty hunters grab them! Are any of the kids still on mics?!"

Leo: "Cough! cough... We're fine... Lily took care of them..."

V: "What do you mean she took care of them... Bounty hunter machines? Perfectly made killers... What do you mean that blind little girl took care of it?!"

Raine: "She really did... Those two machines..."

Luca: "She destroyed the crap out of them... somehow, it happened so fast I'm not even sure what I just saw... None of us are"

R3D: "Breeeeee Oooop...."

V: "Well get your asses out of there, head for the cave"

Caesar: "I'm already at the base of the mountain. It took me longer than expected since the machines began to notice I wasn't attacking any of the old droids and they weren't attacking me either. So they began to turn their assault towards me and scrap, resulting in us fighting our way through. However, it appears we must wait for a lift to return from what I am being told by this human in front of me"

Harper: "Yes... It will be back shortly, you seem pretty heavy though. I don't know if you can fit in with us..."

Caesar: "Don't worry, the lift is for the dog... I can fly up to the top"

Harper: "Uhhh dog? That's a dog?!"

Caesar: "Well she is a wolf to be factual"

Harper: "Ok... Are you one of the droids? You seem so shiny so I immediately thought you were an enemy until I saw the droids let you through"

Caesar: "No, I am Axel's guardian. Now excuse me, I have to get to the top of the mountain. Watch the wolf"

Harper: "Uhhh gotcha"

Caesar steps away from Harper and the few remaining humans, as he prepares to fly up into the air. Thick heaps of smoke emerge from the soles of his feet and bright radiant flames burst out lifting him into the air propelling him upward as the blast enlarges. Flying right up the side of the mountain.

Robin finally lands on top of the mountain from her high drop from Old pearl. Landing right beside two of the last remaining old droids attempting to fend off the approaching assassin machines.

Robin: "Old droids! It's been a while. Now let me return that kind gesture you did for me all those years ago"

Axel: "Mom?! What are you doing here?!"

Caesar reaches the top, landing beside Robin.

Caesar: "Robin! What a surprise"

Assassin 23: "First these old rusted pieces of junk get in our way. Now you two twinkle bots want to stand in our way as well? The humans are coming with us so just step aside and maybe we won't destroy your fancy titanium bodies"

Robin: "You will not touch a single hair on a human or spec of iron on these old droids lowly bounty hunters"

Caesar unsheathes the two of his blades and gives one of them to Robin.

Caesar: "Axel get to safety, we will handle these machines"

Assassin 03: "It's a shame, to have such shiny armour be destroyed so foolishly for the likes of a pathetic human"

Assassin 23: "So be it. Destroy them all! And retrieve the humans!"
