Chapter 9 - NOT THE BABY!

6PM:- 

Episode starts with civilians running out of the hospital area, with barricades all around the block. 

Cops: "Get out of this area quickly! It's dangerous! Evacuate now!" 

The cop looks above to see a giant rocket, worried. 

"God help us." 

Another cop: "The cyborg hunters are in there. We'll survive this. Be hopeful." 

The cop looks at him with unease. "I think its target is inside the hospital, but it is restraining itself. I don't understand why...." 

The Rocket's POV. 

"Conditional Assessment: Asset & Target should NOT be together." 

"Conditional Assessment: Asset & Target should NOT be together" 

This glowing on the left side of it's screen. 

"Kill Daniel Vossler. Track Blood & Pulse." 

On the right side of its screen. 

Cut to black. 

Scene changes to the hospital room. 6:30PM: 

Jessica was on the bed and her daughter was sitting on a floating chair, hugging each other tightly. 

Aura, Arrow and Briana look sad. 

Then suddenly the cyborg blasts through the window and jumps inside. 

Cyborg: "That woman was a disaster. What is her name?" 

Aura, Arrow and Briana get their weapons ready. 

Jessica and her daughter were terrified. 

Cyborg arms open, looking around: "Come on at least answer me." 

Then Cleo blasts through the main door with his techno katana in the coolest way. 

The cyborg dodges by dodging his sword swing like a matrix scene. 

Then Rebex rolls his blasters in his hands as he shoots at the cyborg almost instantly after Cleo's attack. The cyborg dodges but gets shot at his chest. 

Cleo then turns back and tries slicing his armor open. The cyborg holds the sword with two fingers and punches Cleo in the stomach. 

Rebex: "Cleo!" Then Rebex throws his blasters on the cyborg's face instead of shooting directly. The cyborg falls by this sudden attack. Then Briana pulls out her dual swords to pierce into the cyborg's heart. 

The cyborg dodges by rolling to the side, and as he is punching her face in slow motion. Her eyes widen. Briana gets thrown away at the corner of the room. 

Jessica and her daughter are being protected by Aura & Arrow, they're very tense. 

The cyborg: "You BRATS! WHERE IS THE BABY?" 

Then Rebex picks up his guns again, and as he is about to shoot, the cyborg kicks him roundhouse. And aims his machine gun arms towards Jessica and her daughter. 

Cyborg: "STOP! OTHERWISE I'LL BLOW HER BRAINS OUT!" 

Aura, Arrow, Cleo, Rebex, Briana, all panic and put their weapons down. 

Cyborg: "Great! Now tell me where is the baby?" 

Aura gulps: "We d-don't know." 

The cyborg: "You don't know?" 

Rebex: "Y-you'll never find the baby!" 

The cyborg: "You freaks... where is Daniel? I'll end his life myself!" 

Cleo, Rebex, Aura, Arrow, and Briana are terrified. 

The cyborg: "Do you guys want to die with him? There is a rocket hovering above our hospital ready to eliminate him! But as long as the threshold baby is here... URGH." 

Cyborg's POV: 

"No baby detected. No baby detected. No baby detected" 

He says internally: "It isn't here. My priority changes. Take Daniel away from the hospital." 

POV: As he runs a scan around himself while holding the machine gun on Jessica's face. 

Then suddenly he senses something. 

And opens the door going outside the room, seeing through the corridor's window from the 3rd floor. He sees something unbelievable. His eyes open to see Daniel from behind. He is running outside the hospital gate holding a small object in hand, reminiscent of the baby. 

The cyborg's eyes widen. Then in slow motion a lady's hands approach his neck from behind. 

As he says: "Change all the routes to the factor-" 

Scene cut. 

Scene changes to the Cyborg Hunting HQ. 

Top Executives talk while watching Daniel leave with a baby in hand on a large TV 

Executive 1: "This boy is a danger to the world. Why don't the authorities understand?" 

Executive 2: "If the baby is hurt, we'd get him killed by our hunters." 

Executive 1: "Yes but if the baby is hurt! The cyborgs won't gift him roses either." 

Executive 2: "That's correct. Should we send the Purple ranked hunters?" 

Executive 1: "Do not! The hierarchical order of our hunters isn't official. But we need precautions. Achlys isn't dumb." 

Executive 2: "We've 3 new admissions... One of them sent his entrance exam answer sheet in a video form." He clicks the remote- 

Then suddenly the tv plays a viral song of Pash, the authorities suddenly lock in and watch his video seriously, like they're enjoying premium content with straight face and hollow cheeks. 

"Song: See you at the school my new friends!" 

"My name is PASH LALALALA LA! Sing for a reason LALALALA LA! 

I love my people LALALALA LA! Saving from evil, I got your feelings! Spread my love across the world!!!" 

Executive 1: "Accept him today." 

Scene changes: - 6:45PM 

Helena reaches her secret base as she glides down from the air. It has totally been destroyed; all the cyborgs are dead in that place. She holds her earpiece. "Cinaron are you there at the hospital? Hello? Did you get the baby?! Hey!!" She then sits on her feet, to look around. "How did he redirect that rocket?" 

Helena picks up a metal destroyed armor of one of the cyborgs. "That is.... Cinaron's armor...." 

Her cyborg brain almost started to collapse. But she holds her head and gets up. 

"Now you're going to finally meet me at the factory. Cinaron did a good job manipulating the routes. Now it's my time." 

Scene 7PM, almost dusk time: 

Daniel running with the baby in unknown streets, passing through an alleyway 

Daniel is holding the wrapped tightly. Running steadily, making sure not to cause harm to it. 

Helena is gliding through the sky at the maximum speed. Driven by the quest for revenge. 

Helena: "There is no time for answers now." 

Then Helena walks through the alleyway. 

A beat. 

Helena's eyes go blank. Almost as if she witnessed something impossible. 

Flashback: 

Huema Station 8, 5 :30PM . 

Helena, a black-haired woman cyborg, wearing a mask, only her eyes are visible, walking in front of the factory with a straight face. Then suddenly the place behind her erupts in an explosion, with fire engulfing it, and metal and debris falling from the sky. While Helena walks with no emotions. 

Helena on earplugs: "The rocket is approaching towards Daniel." 

Return to present: 

The camera slowly pans from her blank face into her eyes, then through her vision. 

The silhouttes are dark amidst the dusk 

The borgification factory that she destroyed. 

Is...back to normal. 

But she just... destroyed it... hours ago... 

Then Daniel walks in from the left corner and throws the wrapped at Helena. Did Daniel just throw.. THE BABY AT HER? 

Helena cannot process or react to it instantly. 

As the little thing slowly rotates in the air towards Helena. 

The towel falls over, revealing the black and red capsule. 

Episode ends.
