The labent star ascends from the horizon, peeking through from creaks and crevasses of the mountains towering over the city. This new dawn signals the start of their plan... The human heist. Axel, Scrappy and Lily await within the cargo container Ceasar carries towards the main entrance of the city. R3D and the remaining children, stood deep within the tunnel they made underneath the city, as they continue to drill further into the centre near the location of the frequency emitter.

Axel: "We're all in position V"

V: "Got it, heading for the skies now... Good luck everyone. Remember, stay focused and prepared for anything..."

V revs his bike as he blasts off into the air from the entrance of the cave far away from the city.

Axel: "How close are you to the emitter R3?"

R3D: "Bree Oooop...Bree Oooooop Ooop"

V: "What did he say?"

Axel: "That they're too deep for his scan to reach the top so he can't find its exact location"

V: "Oh well, just... head... for... the..."

Static noises follow as V's voice is cut off from the transmission.

Axel: "I guess he's too high up now... Make your way up into the city, once you're close enough R3... You can scan the area for it and you guys can begin to breach the surface..."

Caesar: "Quiet now Axel, we are arriving at the gate..."

As they approach the gate, machines emerge from the shadows of the walls surrounding the city holding weapons in their hands as they watch Caesar push the container towards the gate.

Anderthal 1: "Hold it right there android... Who sent this shipment, and what is your purpose here in New Anderthal?"

Caesar: "This is important hardware sent by The Primordial himself. Get out of my way bots, do not waste the time of The Primordial's forces... Unless you seek destruction"

Anderthal 1: "You are one of The Primordial's personal forces?"

Anderthal 2: "Can't you see? it is made purely of titanium, only The Primordial's forces would be made purely of such a valuable metal... forgive us for our ignorance earlier... We the Anderthals take our security very seriously when it comes to outsiders"

Anderthal 1: "I have never seen this model though... You are a Ti model, but which one... You aren't the previous 9000 model because we were told they were completely destroyed and remade into the Ti1millions... So what are you?

Caesar: "You really waste not only my time but The Primordial's time with these meaningless questions bot?! I am a Ti2million! The very first and only of my kind thus far and I have been tasked with getting this container to the headquarters of this city without interruption such as this one... So get out of my way so I can have this ready for his arrival you insolent shit scraps... Now open the gate"

The machines glare into Caesar's face as the massive gate slowly opens behind them. Paving a clear path inside as the gate scrapes away all the heaps of snow and frozen ice from underneath it.

Anderthal 1: "Forgive my insolence... Do you require an escort to the headquarters?"

Caesar: "Of course not, just stay out of my way"

Anderthal 1: "Understood"

As Caesar pushes the container inside, entering the city. The two machines behind him continue their chatter amongst themselves.

Anderthal 2: " 2million?! That machine was greater than the 1millions... You just stood on the edge of destruction"

Anderthal 1: "And the one and only make of its kind... That machine must be a part of the elite forces. The Primordial's personal guards even... What could The Primordial be planning in this frozen city..."

Axel: "Wow Dad... That was amazing... Now all we have to do is get to the headquarters"

Caesar: "I figured entering as some lowly machine would never work, so why not impersonate that of the most powerful machines, that way they won't question it for too long to avoid angering The Primordial. Anyway, do not rest easy yet though. We are still in enemy territory"

Axel: "Got it... Alright, we're in R3D... Are you close to breaching the surface yet"

R3D: "Breee Oooop..."

Viktor: "We still have a little further to go before we can climb our way back to the top. I made some adjustments to the drill once it was my turn to hold it since it was so heavy. So now it's super light, and we can hold it without our arms getting tired so quickly."

Luca: "Yeah... It's so much lighter and spins faster now"

Axel: "That great... I guess you are good with tools like you said Viktor"

Caesar: "That is impressive, I did not consider the weight of the drill when I quickly made it. That was an error on my part"

Axel: "Alright let us know when you've got into the city... Don't forget kids, leave your winter gear in the tunnel. All runners stick to the shadows and rooftops. The others stay with R3D hidden inside of the server room"

Levi: "Got it..."

Raine: "Gotcha"

Rosie: "Ok..."

Luca: "Got it"

Leo: "Alright..."

They begin drilling upwards into the city, streams of warm water from the melting ice flows down their arms as Roc drills away at the ice. Bits and pieces of shaved ice fly everywhere, forming a pool of water on the ground beneath their feet. As they come close to breaching the surface, R3D signals them to stop the drill and does a scan of the area. After confirming no machines were in the vicinity, they continue to drill a hole leading out of the tunnel.

The children all crawl out one by one, the runners immediately take to the rooftops of nearby buildings and R3D leads the others into an alleyway as he scans for the frequency emitter.

Meanwhile, V awaits his signal high above the city, watching the drones zip around the entire city. He takes his sunglasses out, bending them into a pair of binoculars and then proceeds to scour the city. He finally spots Caesar carrying Axel and the others in the container, heading for the centre of the city as planned.

V: "Wow... They actually got in with no problem and also managed to not have an audience escort them... Not bad... Not bad at all. Now, where are the kids at? They should've breached the surface by now"

V spots Luca and Raine, stealthily traversing on top of the rooftops.

V: "Ahh, there's two of the runners so they have gotten in already. Good, so the surveillance should be taken care of any moment now..."

However, down below R3D and the others are faced with an obstacle right before them. The server room is guarded by a massive machine watching all the possible entrances into the building. R3D spins around in a circle frantically as he is unsure what to do since he also realised there are even more machines on the inside from his scan of the area earlier.

R3D: "Breeeeeeeee..."

Axel: "What is is R3?"

Viktor: "It appears we can't get into the server room or anywhere near the very tall antenna on top of the roof, which I assume is the emitter"

Leo: "I will distract the guards... Then you guys can get inside and take it from there"

R3D: "Breee Oooooop ooop"

Axel: "R3 says there's one huge one by the entrance and then there are at least 3 more inside. You will need help causing a distraction, all runners..."

Leo: "No... I can do it, trust me... I'll get all of the machine's attention and keep them busy, don't worry about me. The others need to be on stand by for our escape and in case of minor issues with the plan so let's stick to the plan... This is my purpose in the mission remember, I can do this"

Axel: "Ok... Be careful Leo... But how will you get the attention of the ones on the inside?..."

Leo leaps off of the roof just over R3D and the others, dropping right in front of the machine. As he slowly looks up to the machine, its eyes turn a bright red, illuminating its metallic skull-like features as it starts walking towards him.

Anderthal 3: "Hold it right there... Droid? All units, I have eyes on an unidentifiable android in front of me, taking it to headquarters now"

Leo stands still while the machine gets close and reaches for his arm. Just before it can grab a hold of him, he then drops to the ground, rolling between its legs and dashes off into the building. He races through the tiny hallways, getting the attention of the three other machines. All the machines immediately turn their attention towards Leo as he dashes past them.

Anderthal 3: "Detain it! All units we have a runner, send aerial drones to give assistance with keeping eyes on the runner"

As soon as the other machines inside the room receive the notice from the guard outside, they immediately begin to chase after Leo. Leo makes his way to the base of the emitter in the centre of the room and begins to climb it heading towards the roof. All the machines hot on his tail follow him to the roof, leaping high into the air and bursting through the ceiling of the building.

The massive machine still waiting outside of the building as it closes the door to the entrance shut. It stays focused with its head tilted up, tracking Leo's every move as he leaps across the roof. It then takes out a weapon that slowly emerges from its back. Charged with electricity surging through its weapon, it begins firing at Leo as he leaps from rooftop to rooftop. Leo manages to dodge the incoming fire, as he sprints away from the three machines following behind him.

Anderthal 3: "Is has taken to the roofs, Joining the pursuit now"

The massive machine then flies high up into the air, with jet propulsors in its legs and shoulders. Landing on top of the rooftop as two drones accompany it following behind Leo.

R3D: "Breee Ooop"

Axel: "He's actually doing it? Well, don't waste this opportunity R3 stick to the plan, get in there and get your job done"

R3D and the others rush over to the entrance, halted by the closed reinforced door. Aren and Roc push against the door, unable to make even the slightest budge.

R3D: "Bree Ooop"

Axel: "What do you mean uh oh? What happened?"

R3D: "Breee Oooop ooop"

Axel: "The door into the building is closed shut? There's no other way in?"

Viktor: "Uhh...I may be able to get us in guys..."

Roc: "How? It's not budging at all, not even a little bit"

Viktor: "There is a keypad right above the door. I can rewire it and force it open"

Aren: "How are you gonna reach it though?"

Roc: "Climb on top of my shoulders Aren, and then you climb on top of both of us Viktor"

Viktor: "Uhh ok"

Roc hunches over as he leans against the door, Aren climbs up onto his back, standing on his shoulders and Viktor follows shortly after, climbing up onto Aren's shoulders as he reaches for the keypad. Viktor breaks open the keypad and begins popping all the wires inside. Sparks fly out from between his hands as he twists wires together.

Levi: "Are you sure you know what you're doing Viktor?"

Alyssa: "Yeah... Maybe we could just find another way in, like climb to the roof and drop down inside"

Viktor: "Got it..."

"POOF!" And just then the reinforced steel doors open, releasing bits of sparks and chilly fog pouring out of its creases. Inside laid before them a dark and eerie hallway, barely illuminated by red dimly flickering lights coming from the computers inside. R3D quickly enters, heading straight for the emitters core at its base in the middle of the room.

Alyssa: "Wow you did it Viktor..."

Viktor: "Yeah, I was saying that I'm good at this stuff back in the cave... It's from all my time tinkering with the parts of old destroyed machines during my chases and inside my cage"

R3D begins to hack into the emitter, while Viktor approaches him from behind. Casting a shadow over him as he stands watching.

R3D: "Breee Ooop!"

Viktor: "Oh... uh sorry am I distracting you? It's just that I think while you are doing that I can hack into the surveillance drones..."

R3D: "Bree..."

Axel: "Did I just hear you correctly Viktor? Are you sure you can do it?"

Viktor: "I believe I can do it once I have the tools V gave R3..."

Axel: "Alright, give him the tools R3. He did manage to get you guys through the locked door. Let's trust him with this"

R3D: "Breeeee Ooooop"

Axel: "Yeah yeah, no need for sass right now R3"

R3D takes the devices V gave him and hands them over to Viktor,

Meanwhile, Caesar and the others finally arrive at the base of the Headquarters.

Caesar: "We are here Axel... Once we are through the doors, there are machines posted behind every door within the building... What will we do once inside?"

Axel: "Just get us inside... Stick to the plan"

Caesar lifts the massive container over his shoulder as he climbs the stairs at the entrance of the headquarters. The machine guards at the entrance aim their weapons towards Caesar and flash bright red lights at him as they scan him and the container.

Anderthal 4: "You scrap heads! That is the Ti2million sent by The Primordial himself. Do not interfere!"

Anderthal 5: "Our duty is to scan all machines and concealments entering this building..."

Anderthal 4: "Did you not get the message from the front gate?! They already tried to stick to protocol and pissed it off already. Are you trying to be destroyed? Protocol never applies to The Primordial and his elite forces... Just let it through"

Anderthal 5: "Understood"

Anderthal 6: "There is something interesting in that container though... From my scan just now..."

Anderthal 4: "That's none of your business... It's something important to The Primordial, so I would delete whatever you saw off of your data board if I were you..."

As Caesar finishes climbing the stairs, he walks past the guards without so much as looking them in the eye as they stare at him entering the building. Scrappy inside of the container slowly bares her teeth as she sniffs the air. Axel quickly rests his hand on her snout, trying to prevent her from growling.

Axel: "Shhhh girl, gotta be quiet"

Anderthal 5: "Did you hear that just now?"

Anderthal 4: "No"

Anderthal 6: "A 2million uh... Never heard of it"

Anderthal 4: "Me either, apparently it's a very recent model... The only one of its kind as well..."

Anderthal 6: "Intriguing..."

Elsewhere in the city, Leo continues to run away from the pursuit of machines. Dodging and weaving from their incoming fire, leaping from building to building. More machines spot him and join the chase, coming towards him from all angles.

Leo: "I guess it's time to use it..."

He leaps high into the air and pulls the fabric of his stealth suit over his eyes and stiffens his body as he falls between the space of two buildings disappearing out of view from the pursuing machines. As he lands onto the ground, he stays completely still as he looks up above to witness the machines glaring down towards him unable to see him.

Leo: "Guess this suit can turn you invisible...Cool..."

The machines on top of the roof crowd the sky as they stay confused trying to find Leo who just disappeared before their eyes. The bulky machine slowly walks up to the edge and looks down below as the two drones accompany him from above.

Anderthal 3: "The runner didn't leave this area. The drones would've seen it... It is still here, possibly camouflaged... All units go into infrared, look for any odd placements of heat signatures being blocked in case this machine does not produce any radiation or heat, it seems smart enough to have infrared blockers to help its invisibility prove useful. So scan the entire area"

Leo: "...That doesn't sound good..."

All the machines begin to drop down from above, landing right beside Leo as he tries to slowly sneak his way out of the alley. Then suddenly, one of the machines up above spots him.

Anderthal 7: "There! Movement covering environmental heat signature beside..."

Anderthal 3: "Fire!"

"ZZZZEEEEPEW! PEW! PEW! PEW! PEW! PEW! PEW!"All the machines up above and down below begin firing their weapons sporadically. Blasting each other with their powerful gunfire mercilessly, as they fire in all directions carelessly. Leo drops to the ground and rolls to the side of the building hugging the wall. He leaps up onto the wall and hops side to side making his way out of the narrow alley, leaping over the heads of the machines firing at each other. Trying his best to avoid the fire coming from up above, a stray blast grazes his calve, causing sharp pain.

Leo: "AHH!"

Anderthal 3: "Halt your fire! It is over there making its way out of the alley. We have a heat signature coming from what must be its leg!"

Leo quickly gets up and begins sprinting away from the area, limping as he strides along.

Axel: "Leo was that you just now over the intercoms? Are you alright?!"

Lily sitting on top of Scrappy, lifts her head up and stiffens her slumped posture as she hears the concern in Axel's voice.

Leo: "I'm fine, continue with the mission. I'm leading the machines towards a large building in front of me away from V's drop zone, I assume this is the headquarters... You guys are already inside right?"

Axel: "Yeah we're inside, be careful Leo"

Leo runs staggeringly down the streets of the city as the horde of machines chase behind him firing blindly in his direction. As he arrives at the front of the headquarters, the machines at the front entrance turn their attention towards the commotion heading their way.

Anderthal 5: "What is this?"

Anderthal 6: "What are they firing at? Have they gone rogue or something?"

Anderthal 5: "Some of them are damaged by what seems to be friendly fire..."

Anderthal 4: "Are these Scrapholes serious?! Have they no clue that The Primordial could be joining us at any moment. There is no time for these foolish games. Put an end to this you two..."

Anderthal 6: "What do you want us to do? Attack them all?"

Anderthal 5: "Hold it right there you imbeciles! Not another step forward in the of The Primordial!"

All the machines halt their movement. The bulky machine steps in front of them as he shouts to machines at the entrance of the headquarters.

Anderthal 3: "There is a breach in security, code 224... An unidentified machine with camouflage abilities is right in front of us. Turn on your infrared sensors and look close to the ground, it is leaking warm fluids from our fire"

Anderthal 4: "A machine with an invisibility cloak? Turn on infrared... If you spot nothing, take these rogue bots into custody for inspection of corruption"

Leo continues to leap away quietly in the midst of the confusion. But as he quickly tries to run away the bulky machine fires a single shot, piercing his side and causing him to fall to the ground in pain.

Leo: "AHHHHH! EUUEEKK!"

Axel: "LEO!?"

Anderthal 3: "See, I'm sure you can see it now"

Anderthal 6: "There is something concealed, only visible through the infrared..."

Anderthal 4: "You don't need infrared, you can see a red fluid beginning to pool on the floor there where he fired..."

Lily jumps off of Scrappy's back and bursts out of the container carried by Caesar, dropping to the ground and begins to sprint towards Leo's scream.

Axel: "Lily wait! That's..."

Caesar: "We're on the 2nd floor of the building..."

"CRASSSHHH!" Lily runs straight through the glass window, busting out from the shattered glass as it rains down on the machines down below. The machines look upward with their eyes glued to Lily as they witness her fall from the sky among shards of glass. She lands steadily on the ground and slowly gets up with her head tilted downward and her extremely long hair covering her entire face.

Anderthal 4: "What is this now?!"

Anderthal 3: "Another one..."

Caesar gently rests down the container from over his shoulder on the ground, Axel quickly leaps out from the container, running towards the broken window as he looks down at Lily surrounded by at least a dozen machines.

Just then the two drones accompanying the bulky machine begin to release sparks of electricity as they hover shakingly in place. "THUD! THUD!" The two drones drop to the floor beside the machine's feet and quickly burst into flames.

Anderthal 3: "What is the matter with the drones..."

The machine looks up to the sky, noticing the massive swarm of drones all hovering in place as they spark furiously of electricity, all suddenly bursting into flames as they rain from the sky like burning embers.

V: "Well... Not exactly the plan, but... Guess this is my signal"

V leaps off of his bike perched high up in the sky, diving down to the city below, speeding through the rain of burning embers. Just before he hits the ground he releases a small parachute-like object from his back, fixed with propulsors thrusting him upwards softening his landing.

V: "Alright, I'm back on intercoms... We need to speed up the plan. Because the burning drones raining down from the sky is sure to get the attention of the entire city... Axel, leave retrieving the blueprints to Caesar, a runner will take them and sprint towards the exit of the city to avoid suspicion of Caesar. He needs to remain undercover until we've all began to exit the city"

Axel: "V! Leo and Lily! They're..."

V: "There's no time Axel, trust in your machine remember... Prove to me that I can trust them too, by letting them handle the situation. Right now I need you here, our goal is the humans and right now our window to find them is closing in fast! And by your reaction just now, much faster than I originally thought..."

Axel: "Alright... But I have to help Lily..."

Just then Axel witnesses the unbelievable before his eyes. His eyes widened in complete shock, with his body frozen in place as he witnesses Lily savagely rip away at the machines with her bare hands.

V: "Help who? Do you mean the blind girl? What's happening?"

Axel: "Nevermind... I'm on my way, Dad, go get those blueprints and focus on your part of the mission. Scrappy go help down below"

V: "Why the sudden change?"

Axel: "I thought Lily was in danger of the machines surrounding her... But the machines surrounding her... Are in danger of her..."

V: "What do you mean?"

At the entrance of the headquarters, Lily leaps onto the machines one by one. forcing her tiny hands into their creases and ripping wires and tubes with her teeth as she yanks them out from their necks and joints. The machines fire their weapons towards her, but like a wild animal, Lily avoids their fire, unpredictably leaping from machine to machine, avoiding the fire with the bodies of the other machines causing them to be destroyed by their own gunfire.

Anderthal 5: "What is this thing?!"

Anderthal 3: "An animal?!"

Lily, soaked completely in the machines warm black fluids glares blankly in the direction of the bulky machine who shot Leo.

Anderthal 5: "An animal? Are you sure?"

Anderthal 3: "I wasn't talking about that thing... I meant what's behind you..."

Anderthal 5: "Behind m..."

Scrappy bites down on the machine's head, crushing it in her titanium jaws, and slowly approaches the painted black Lily.

Anderthal 3: "I don't know what kind of scrap show is unfolding today. But I need to report this to The Primordial... Wait, why can't I connect to the intercoms... The emitter... Its..."

R3D: "Breee Ooooop"

Axel: "Ok head back down into the tunnels and start making your way out of the city... R3 and the others are all done with their part... I'm counting on you Dad, get those blueprints... I'm going to meet up with V"

Caesar: "Will Lily and Leo really be ok?"

Axel: "I don't know where Leo is... But I can assure you, Lily is fine... Especially with Scrappy there"

Leo: "I'm fine too, just a little graze from enemy fire... See what I was trying to tell you about my sister?... I'm the best runner, but my sister got away not because she's good at running... But because she was great at destroying the machines in her path. That's why they locked her up deep down below once they finally managed to catch her again after she grew tired"

Axel: "That's crazy... Anyway, there's no time... Did you hear the plan over intercoms as well? We need a runner to get the blueprints from Dad once he has them and run out of the city with them. Can you still run or are you too hurt?"

Raine: "Let me do it!"

Leo: "No I can do it, you guys are on stand by remember. This was my task and I will fulfil it..."

Raine: "What are you trying to prove, you're clearly hurt... We all heard that girly scream over our earpieces"

Luca: "Leo... Are you sure you got this?"

Rosie: "We know you're the best... But can you really do it while hurt?"

Leo: "It just sounded worst than it actually is ok?! It's just a graze, the blast took me by surprise that's all"

Leo grips the wound as blood pours from it as he tries to stand up. Holding in his grunts of pain, Lily smells his scent and rushes over to him immediately, embracing him with a tight hug. While Scrappy continues to wreak havoc among the machines, brushing off their weapon fire like nothing as she ruthlessly throws them around with her jaws."

Leo: "Lily... I'm fine alright... It's ok. I have a job to complete, you stay with the wolf..."

Lily shakes her head from side to side rapidly, and she feels his body touching the blood drenching his suit. She rubs the blood between her fingers and holds her hand up to his face as she slowly shakes her head, gesturing no repeatedly.

Leo: "Well, I guess you're coming with me then..."

Anderthal 3: "You two are going nowhere!"

The bulky machine rushes towards them in a barbarous fashion, but Scrappy leaps onto its back dragging it to the ground. However, the machine quickly gets back up onto its feet and grabs Scrappy by the tail, throwing her to the ground and stomping down on her neck. Scrappy howls in pain, the machine then turns its gaze over to Leo who trips over and falls to the ground as the machine looms over him with its terrifying inhumane expression on its skull for a face.

Just before it fires its weapon at Leo, Lily leaps onto its back, forcing a sharp piece of steel from one of the destroyed machines on the ground into its mouth. Stabbing its inside to shreds as she uses her other hand to forcibly rip its wires from its neck. The machine tosses and turns violently, trying its best to shake Lily off of its back, until it finally drops to its knees. The light in its eyes slowly dimming, falling to the ground completely destroyed.

Back inside the building, one lone machine staggers its way up the stairs. Heading towards the location where Caesar is.

Anderthal 4: "That thing... That little horrifying thing... What was that?! It tore most of my vital cords out of my neck in an instant... I need repairs immediately or I will lose functionality in some of my limbs... The intercoms are down, but I know who can fix this problem... That Ti2..."

The machine staggers out into the hall, dripping warm black fluids from soaked wires and tubes dangling from its neck. It looks Caesar straight in the face as it witnesses Caesar speaking with Axel as he activates the stealth suit right before him.

Anderthal 4: "Ti2million?... What was..."

Caesar turns his attention to the crippled machine, quickly walking towards it.

Anderthal 4: "Is this... Machine rebellion?!"

Caesar: "No... This is a human heist"

"ZZZZZZTTT PEW!" "BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!" "CRASSSSHHHH!"
