Chapter 1188 Their Happy Ending
-----
With the help of the robots together unified as one, they were able to easily repair the teleportation device and get it ready. They even tested it with their own people, and confirmed it worked fine as they came back from where they went to.
"It was. Very Cold. There. Be Careful."
"Lots of Snow. Everywhere."
"Careful. Careful. Careful."
"I see, so Russia is quite cold at this time?" wondered Zack. "I guess so… this entire planet seems to be the Earth we left behind, I learned from history that it had become a planet that was already beginning to die. This little island is a rare sanctuary."
"It seems to be the case," Blake said looking slightly bored. "Let's get going for now then. We've done everything we could here and discovered everything else as well. We must depart. No more distractions."
"Alright, alright~" Braveblitz said. "Blake! Don't be to temperamental, my friend! It's all good, all good!"
"…" Blake ignored the annoying robot as he stepped into the teleportation machine first.
Then everyone else followed him, Zack was the last, who looked at the robots playing around and at their friend who was waving his mechanical hand.
"Good luck." He said with a robotic voice. "Be. Safe."
"Thank you," Zack nodded. "And… well, about the androids."
"Hm?" the machine looked back at Zack again. "What. About. Them?"
"I… I wonder if you could try repairing them?" wondered Zack.
"…" The machine thought about it. "Perhaps. If they're no longer. Infected… I might. Think about. It."
"Alright, bye!" Zack went away.
In that moment, the machine looked at the teleportation device and then walked away back home. Walking across the jungles, now finally peaceful once more, felt quite magical to him.
"Hah…"
He made a sound as if he was sighing in relief, although robots don't sigh as they don't breath. Then he walked into his large house made of scrap and wood.
The bodies of B-9 and A-0 were there. The robot glared at them for a moment, but then continued trying to repair the little robots first.
"Hm…"
However, after some time, he realized that the bodies were too wounded, and that the cores too cracked. He had to repair them somehow.
The Neutonium Cores they used could repair on their own as long as they begin working electricity through their bodies.
Therefore, he had to place them in a body, so they regenerated.
"…"
Then, he glared at the bodies of the androids, which were almost perfectly intact.
He quickly opened their heads and chests, realizing their cores were broken into pieces.
"Oh…"
He quickly took the parts away and used them to fill up the large cracks of two other cores from "little ones" that were victims to the android.
"Why am I doing this?"
For a moment, the robot stopped.
"It could probably. End up not working. There are big chances that. It won't…"
His mechanical hands trembled, despite how cold they were, they desired the warmth of life.
"Is it because I… I pity them?"
Having seen that movie about their lives, the machine had begun to pity these two androids, and everything they had to go through.
He realized they were victims too.
He grabbed the cores and then placed them inside the androids.
"Their cores were cracked. I used their fragments to. Fill the little cores. Their heads are. Fine. Thanks to Hendrick and Saphira. Freed from virus."
Once done, the two Androids started charging their battery by absorbing the sunlight, resting over his house's rooftop as he continued working on reviving the other machines.
Eventually, hours later…
"HELP! HELP! HELP!"
"SOMEONE. ROOFTOP!"
"ANDROID! ATTACKS!"
The little robots started panic, as the machine quickly walked outside his house, looking at the rooftop in panic. Continue your adventure with empire
For a moment, he thought the androids became insane again.
However…
He saw a different image.
"B-9!" said the female.
"A-0!" said the male.
The two androids were hugging each other, crying. The machines were surprised, yet the one that made them this way was even more shocked.
"They… remember?"
The cores of the little ones replaced their hearts, but their heads were intact, and so all their memories, and senses of self.
Despite the virus overwriting this, there was a backup that existed deep within their data, which was started the moment they began to regain their energies, and no virus got in the way.
"I can't believe this…" B-9 muttered. "We are… we are alive?"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"The virus is gone…" A-0 said. "I can't believe this…"
"But everyone else… huh? Machines…!" B-9 muttered. "You guys…"
"HI." The machine that helped them said. "I have. Many names. You can call me. Repairer. I repair things. A lot of them. I repaired you. I used our hearts. To replace yours. You seem fine. Your memories. Ok?"
"A-Ah, so you did this…" B-9 muttered. "T-Thank you so much… I don't know where to even start thanking you for this… I thought… we imagined we were gone forever."
"I am still surprised… We are truly grateful," smiled A-0. "Thank you, truly. And… we know what we've done. Even below the virus control… Our actions were inexcusable. We committed many sins…"
"…" Repairer remained in silence for a moment. "You can help me rebuild. Them all. Those you hurt. And those we hurt. Let's help each other. Maybe we can't. Build them like before. But if we combine our hearts. Maybe… Some can be. Revived."
B-9 and A-0 looked at one another in surprise.
"O-Of course… Sure!" B-9 said happily.
"It would be my honor to help you," smiled A-0.
"Thank you." Said Repairer. "Now… Please come down from. The rooftop. The little ones are all scared…"
"DANGER! DANGER!"
"DON'T BE IN THE ROOFTOP!"
"TOO DANGEROUS!"
The little robots were raising their arms around while running from place to place, completely in panic.
The two androids found them adorable, giggling a bit.
"Alright, my bad…"
"Let's go…"
"Yeah."
The two held hands tightly, as they jumped down.
A second chance.
Even if their true selves had long ago perished.
This digital world, a record from the past, remained.
And so, their digital souls continued on living.
