Chapter Text
Coby pushed on the ground, and noticed his sisters getting free but they're still unconscious on the ground.
He looked at his father and Abel flying in front of him.
“Papa, snap out of it, please!” He shouted, and tried to stand up but he winced at the pain he was slammed a few times.
Meanwhile…
“Come on!” Pia grabbed Frankie by the hand, and Angel, Liam, and Agatha followed her to an elevator.
They all panted while Jilly was standing in front of them, nodding before the doors closed.
“We have to get Coby first before—” Agatha added gently.
“We know, licorice hair!” Liam replied.
“The game ends when the king falls.” Pia murmured, looking down on the ground.
They all shared glances at her.
“Uh… I don't know why I said that, though.” She added, raising her brow.
“King… as in Kinger?” Frankie placed their hand on the chin.
“Didn't Abel call him that earlier?” Angel tilted her head.
They all looked at her until the elevator doors opened.
…
Coby dodged one of his father's blasts and grabbed a screwdriver, he lifted it in the air before he threw it at Abel behind Grant.
“Ahh!” He screamed, getting electrocuted by the screwdriver and trying to remove it with his hands.
The doors opened, and he glanced at it as it showed the group holding weapons. Agatha held a crowbar, Liam held a destroyed robot's arm to blast, Angel held a Tommy gun she just found in the storage room, Pia held a spade and Frankie held a heavy hammer.
Coby saw the robot getting ready to blast it at Frankie, and he once again lunged at them, fortunately dodging it.
“Let's squish the robots!” Pia shouted while lifting a spade, before she realized what she had said and glanced at the kids beside her.
“YEAH!” The kids exclaimed, and ran to the robots surrounded by the room.
Coby watched Frankie and the others destroy the robots, and he saw his sisters slowly waking up before he came to them, he was dragged by his father and he resisted as the power flickered. He finally got free, and glanced at him. “Dad?”
Grant winced at the pain in his head, and his knee fell to the ground.
Abel removed the screwdriver, after taking a step, he was electrocuted. He looked around, and found the door opened as he tried to run until the daughters of Grant lunged at him.
“You're not going anywhere!” Anne punched him in the face.
“No.” He chuckled, and electrocuted them. He stood up and Grant lifted his head to glance at him, not the one he was important to. He flew to Abel, and he lifted his arm to rest on his shoulder to carry him to the elevator as the doors closed.
“Wh…?” Coby murmured, and glanced at the folded photo that fell in his father's pocket. He unfolded it, and it appeared as him, his late mother with the children including him.
The robot was destroyed by Angel, having a lot of bullets in its body and tried to use its power to blast it at him beside it.
CLANK!
He left a hole in its stomach with his clenched fist, and it fell on the ground while looking at it.
“Huh?” He paused, and looked at his hand.
“Coby!” Pia walked over to him. “The robots are gone, but there's still more—”
“We have to go downstairs!” Amelia interrupted loudly.
The kids glanced at her and her sister.
“Yeah, we saw Dad going with Abel in the elevator, but why is he doing that?” Anne agreed, and looked at the near elevator.
“He’s a good robot, and now he's controlled by him.” Frankie added, folding their arms.
