Chapter 5
As CY aimed the gun at my chest, but Mark punched it into the ground and kicked the robot out the entrance doors. CY goes flying out the doors and through the walls of the thrift store across the street from the Ring. The sound of CY smashing through the thrift store was blasting enough to make me flinch a bit. After Mark's attack on CY, I ask him, "Mark, we were supposed to take the holy way even when the enemy doesn't cooperate! Now that robot's going to think we also chose the quote-unquote 'deadly way!' Now we're going to have to fight it until we defeat it." I could practically feel my eyes turning red because I was upset with Mark for choosing to fight it instead of talking things out. Although, everyone makes mistakes at some points in their lives; my friends and I all have made mistakes in the past and we still will in the future. I know for a fact the Shadow has made a mistake turning my friends and me into whatever the heck we are.
CY the Cybosapien began to shake uncontrollably as my friends and I walked over to where the machine had crashed at. The machine kept repeating, "Destroy Jack. Destroy Jack. Destroy Jack." This machine definitely worked for the Shadow all right if it wants me destroyed.
"Well, we all know for sure now that this machine works for the Shadow. If thing continues working or whatever, then we need to figure out how to reprogram it to help us out, if that's even a possibility. Although if you think about it, it would be much easier to reprogram and fight with John since John is the electronic one of our group. And I think that if he didn't run off to wherever he ran off to, we would only be that much closer to finding the Shadow's lair and taking down the Shadow itself." I stated still feeling angry, now for multiple reasons: Mark choosing to fight instead of taking the holy way, John running away when he was supposed to join Emily and me to fight the Shadow, the Shadow turning my friends and me into invisible masked beings, etc. And now, we've got to figure out what the heck to do with CY the Cybosapien.
"Well, now what do we do?" Mark asked. We were all standing within ambushing distance of the robot, but Mark didn't know that so, the robot kicked Mark in the chest, strong enough to knock Mark off his feet and onto the ground. I take hold of the handle of my electric katana and swing it down towards the sinister robot. CY the Cybosapien caught the blade, gripping it extremely tight, and threw me against a wall. Pain covered my entire back as well as the back of my thighs. Emily and Elizabeth both kick CY the Cybosapien backwards down a men's jeans aisle. CY the Cybosapien still had its machine gun out, locked and loaded. The robot aimed it at Emily and Elizabeth and started frenetically shooting bullets at the two. Emily ran to the right and Elizabeth ran to the left of CY the Cybosapien. CY the Cybosapien proceeded shooting at Emily and Elizabeth as they ran in opposite directions. CY then aimed his machine gun at just Elizabeth. Mark got to his feet swiftly and uppercut CY the Cybosapien before he could fire a bullet at Elizabeth. CY flew upward and hit a light on the ceiling, electrocuting him temporarily. When CY began to fall, Mark kicked him backward into another wall. CY the Cybosapien began to malfunction and shake once again. After recovering much longer than I should have, I walked over to CY the Cybosapien's shuddering body. CY the Cybosapien's eyes were red and said 'ERROR' in them as they flashed the word repeatedly as the body continued to tremble.
"I'm placing my money on 'it's going to surprise attack me any second now.'" I said.
As I predicted, CY the Cybosapien stopped flashing the word 'ERROR' and kicked me backwards into Mark. Mark and I were unharmed, but the machine was well beyond healed from being punched backwards into the wall, somehow. CY the Cybosapien transformed its machine gun into a missile launcher and loaded it. The size of the missiles CY was going to shoot at Mark and me were epic. They could probably be used as footballs or soccer balls. As CY aimed its missiles at Mark and me, I heard a ka-shing! CY the Cybosapien started shaking, once again, but this time, CY fell forward onto the ground with Elizabeth’s electric sword lodged in its back. Sparks flew out of the malfunctioning robot’s body as Mark and I got onto our feet, hoping that CY the Cybosapien is finally defeated. Emily and Elizabeth walked over to Mark and me and waited for another ambush, if CY the Cybosapien was planning on doing so again. CY the Cybosapien is somewhat unpredictable in my opinion. It will shoot at you when you least expect it too and it will completely shut down when you expect it to attack again. By the time Emily and Elizabeth had made it to the powered down machine, I already had my sword readied and blazing with electricity, just to be cautious. The machine stopped its little… ‘Seizure,’ I guess.
“What’s this freakish robot going to do now?” Mark asked seeming a bit exasperated.
“I’ve got no clue, honestly, but I’m guessing it’s going to ambush us. So, just to be cautious, I’d say ready your weapons.” I replied. CY the Cybosapien continued shaking for a moment longer and finally shut down completely.
