V: "Son... Your son?"

Zaine: "Yes... I have been searching everywhere for you since the night we lost you..."

V: "Listen, old man, now isn't the time for jokes or whatever you think this is. But you have the wrong person"

Axel: "V is the son you've been looking for all this time?! Uncle Zaine..."

V: "I'm not his son!"

Zaine: "How are you so sure?"

V: "Because I just know ok? I have a..."

Zaine: "How old are you? ...15 right? I know that because I have been looking for the machine who took you away from me for the past 14 years! 14 fucking years and 7 damn months, yes I counted every single day, minute, the seconds that went by since the day I lost you! I have been hunting down all the machines who even look similar to the one who broke into our home that night and not only caused the death of the only woman I ever loved but stole the only memory I would ever have of her from me, our happiness in this fucked up world! You! I've destroyed base after base in the past 10 years hardly getting any closer to finding you... But I never gave up because that was your mother's last wish... To find you and make sure you're ok"

V: "My mother... She's..."

Zaine: "Yes... I will find that fucking garbage bot responsible. But at least I've finally found you..."

V stands speechless with his eyes fixated on Zaine's face full of confidence and certainty. tears begin to swell from V's eyes as he shifts his gaze to the floor, just then people begin to pour into the hallway of the aircraft crowding Zaine and V.

V: "Uhh, right... There's no time for this crap, we have to get out of this place. Axel direct everyone to find a spot in the cargo bay area and hallways and grab on to something. This is gonna be a bumpy ride..."

Zaine: "Wait, there's so much more I want to ask you... So much more I want to tell you..."

V: "I said not now! I need to stay focused..."

Zaine: "...Right"

V quickly paces back to the piloting cabin, collapsing himself into the chair as he slumps back with a look of confusion and distraught. He stares blankly at the control panel of the aircraft, with his eyes wide open and his fingers trembling.

V: "My mother..."

V sniffles and shakes his head rapidly, wiping the running tears from his eyes.

V: "Pull yourself together V, you got a job to do!"

Back in the cargo bay of the aircraft, Bishop and Belthorne both help the elderly up onto the aircraft. Phara, commands her group to take their positions in the aircraft and give room for others to enter.

Axel: "Everyone! Find something to hold onto tightly! Is everyone inside yet?!"

Bishop: "Almost! Just a few more... Where are you, Harper?"

Axel turns around to Zaine and grabs a hold of his arm.

Axel: "Uncle Zaine... So V really is your son, you finally found him"

Zaine: "Yeah... I don't know what else to say, to be honest. It's just so unexpected even though I thought about and even dreamt of the day I finally saw him again, planning every word that I would say to him. Yet it felt like I said nothing I had planned to, it just came out of me so easily"

Axel: "So what does this mean? Where will you go now..."

Zaine: "Axel... Don't worry kid. I'm not going anywhere without you"

Zaine smiles as he rubs the top of Axel's head, and Axel smirks and moves his hand away.

Axel: "Good..."

Back at the opening of the cargo bay, Bishop looks onward to see Judy approaching with the very last remaining humans. He scoured the entire group, searching for Harper until he finally sees Judy carrying a very distraught Jazabelle.

Bishop: "Oh no... Harper..."

Belthorne: "Ahh so the others are finally here. Where is that silly man Harper at... Why is that woman carrying Jaz, is she hurt?"

Bishop: "No Bel, I don't think so... Harper I don't see him..."

Belthorne: "So? I'm sure he's right behind them"

Bishop: "And by the look of everyone especially Jaz... We've suffered a great lost Bel"

Belthorne: "Bishop you don't know what you're saying..."

Judy approaches the lid of the cargo bay and lifts Jaz up into Belthorne's arms.

Belthorne: "What's the matter Jaz? Where is Harper"

The clearly distraught Jazabelle, soaking in her freezing cold clothes from her pouring river of tears. She bites her bottom lip as she tries to hold in her scream of pain, and looks up to Belthorne with her hands trembling and lips quivering as tears stream down her face unable to utter a single word. Belthorne pulls her close, embracing her in a hug. Bishop rests his hand on her back and looks down at Judy.

Bishop: "Promise to let us know how our lead... Our friend went out when this is over?"

Judy: "Of course..."

Bishop nods his head, and turns to Jazabelle, helping her into the aircraft. While Belthorne proceeds to help the others up onto the lid of the door. Judy walks back towards Old Pearl and gets into the passenger seat.

Belthorne: "Alright... That's everyone!"

Zaine: "Great, go tell him to close the cargo bay. We're ready for take-off. I'm gonna go signal Big C to start moving out"

Axel: "Got it"

Axel rushes to the pilot's cabin, grabbing a hold of V's shoulder from over the chair, startling him. V slaps away Axel's hand as he swings the chair around.

V: "Oh... Axel, it's you"

Axel: "Yeah... Everyone is aboard, we can get out of here now"

He quickly wipes away the water from his eyes and turns back to the control panel.

V: "Alright, take a seat and hold on..."

Axel jumps into the co-pilot's seat and straps himself in as V closes the cargo bay's door. Big C releases the lid as it begins to close, and walks back towards Old Pearl. As the massive aircraft ascends from the side of the mountain, blowing heaps of snow up into the air, drizzling down below like pixie dust. Everyone inside the cargo bay area, all begin to slowly grow a look of sadness on their faces as the news spread of Harper's death.

Phara: "Harper is dead? No way... Come on guys, now isn't the time for jokes!"

Bishop: "It isn't a joke Phara..."

Belthorne: "He's gone..."

Phara: "I can't believe it... After everything... Harper..."

Belthorne: "Harper wouldn't want us to mourn him right now, he would want us to stay focused on the task at hand. And keep the rest of us safe"

Bishop: "So everyone, stay strong. Let's get out of this mess first"

The aircraft then begins to shake boisterously from the turbulence, causing some of the passengers inside to stumble and fall to the floor. V's voice echoes through the intercoms of the aircraft.

V: "Ok, I'm trying to get us above this storm and this is kinda my first time flying something this big, so our ascent is gonna be rough... So yeah, just hold on"

Meanwhile, back at the cave. Luca and the other children are outside at the entrance of the cave watching as O'Ton-omi slowly flies towards them.

O'Ton-omi: "Oh there you guys are! I couldn't remember where this cave was, I also kinda hoped you all got lost or froze from the cold"

R3D: "Breee Ooopp"

Levi: "Hey that isn't very nice O'Ton-omi..."

O'Ton-omi: "Ah you remembered my name little one. I shall let you enter first, once you have all cleaned yourselves. Why do you all lack even the tiniest bit of shine? What metals are you made of?"

Raine: "We aren't made any metals stupid"

O'Ton-omi: "Oh you will be last to enter, I may even leave you here to rot of ice corrosion"

Luca: "Alright O'Ton-omi, we're terribly sorry but can you please just let us in. It's cold and we have to get out of this place fast before the bad machines come"

O'Ton-omi opens its doors and the children all begin to rush towards O'To.

O'Ton-omi: "Hold on! I am still applying my previously stated conditions. The one who called me by my name shall enter first, the impolite one last. Those are my conditions, follow them or my doors close to you forever, thank you"

Back high in the sky above the mountain, V flies the massive aircraft over the mass destruction covering the once hidden village of the humans. The streets, littered with thousands of destroyed machines, rubble and large chunks of ice. Buildings and other structures flattened or burning, swamped in oil fires. The strong winds shake the door to the cargo bay loose, forcefully busting it open.

Bishop: "Shit, the door busted open, EVERYONE GET BACK FROM THE OPENING!"

The people begin to crowd further into the aircraft away from the opening. The metal door furiously flapped from the intense winds, breaking the hinges of the door.

Belthorne: "We need to close that lid! Before it breaks off..."

Bishop: "How are we gonna do that?!"

Belthorne: "Just give me a hand..."

Bishop: "Alright..."

Bishop and Belthorne slowly make their way towards the opening of the cargo bay, pushing themselves forward through the immense force of the wind. Belthorne grabs hold of the frame of the door and drop to the floor, leaning out of the aircraft trying to reach the lid to close the cargo bay. Bishop goes to do the same and notices down below, the remaining Anderthals swarming the base of the mountain as they ascend to the top like thousands of ants climbing to the peak of their nest.

Bishop: "There's still this many left?! Wait a minute... The old droids are still up there..."

At the top of the mountain awaiting the massive swarm of Anderthals, the final two of the old droids, stand on the edge with their chest pried open and their radiating cores exposed. Pulsating and melting every drop of snow that lands on it from the heat, their cores glow brightly like a beacon from their chest.

Bishop: "What is that light coming from them?"

Belthorne: "Bishop! Help me with this damn door!"

As the Anderthals claw their hands into the edge of the ice, pulling themselves on top. They all slowly begin to notice the aircraft in the sky above them, turning their attention away from the old droids and up to the sky.

Bishop: "Oh shit... I think they see us..."

Suddenly, "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!"

Bishop: "Oh shit!"

The two old droids detonated themselves, causing a massive explosion decimating the mountain top and swallowing all the nearby Anderthals in its massive light. Boulders of ice and rocks crumble down, and an avalanche of snow rain down, swallowing all of the destruction down in the village. The shockwave from the explosion finally reaches the aircraft, shoving it to the side and rips away the lid of the cargo bay.

Belthorne: "Fuck... Well, there's goes the door..."

Bishop: "The old droids just blew themselves up, Bel... To save us..."

Belthorne: "If only Harper were here to see their sacrifice..."

Bishop: "Yeah... He too sacrificed himself like the old droids for our safety I'm sure"

Belthorne: "Definitely..."

Belthorne stands up looking out at the aftermath of the explosion with Bishop. Phara joins them as they finally ascend above the storm, ceasing the intense wind force.

Phara: "What was that just now guys?"

Bishop: "The last of the old droids, they blew themselves up and took a massive army of those machines with them..."

Phara: "Oh shit... The entire mountain was almost flattened to ground zero, they could have caused an explosion of this magnitude this entire time?"

Belthorne: "Crazy to imagine it"

Bishop: "And they used it to protect us, yet again..."

V flips on the autopilot and gets up from his seat, he then rests his hand on Axel's chair with a firm grip.

V: "We're almost out of this Axel... Anyone else can still hear us?"

Axel: "Yeah... Guys, R3... Can you hear us?"

V: "I know we are pretty high up so they might not..."

Luca: "Yeah we can hear you!"

V: "Oh wow... We must be cutting it real close with the range..."

Rosie: "O'To got us, we're all here flying up into the air now away from the cave"

R3D: "Breeeee Ooop"

Axel: "Great, we are flying towards you guys now"

V: "Alright, so we're all good then, no need to make any other stops. Let's get the hell out of here"

O'Ton-omi: "Who are you guys speaking with? Is that my master Axel?! Tell him! Tell him!"

Levi: "Well, O'Ton-omi said we're coming to you guys..."

Axel: "Why?"

Leo: "I think it was saying it was low on gas?"

Raine: "It said it was tired... Carrying us..."

O'Ton-omi: "Out of gas, tired of flying. Same thing"

R3D: "Breeeeeeee Oooop"

Axel: "What the hell, well guess you guys can come through the cargo bay"

V: "Really? There's hardly any room in here as is, and sure this thing is built for weight but the less the better. Now a whole lazy ass A.I controlled car wants to come chill its thrusters?"

Axel looks at V and shrugs his shoulders. V shakes his head and sighs rubbing his head.

V: "Alright I'll open the cargo bay... Fly up to us... Wait a minute..."

Axel: "What is it?"

V: "Says here the door is already open... That's weird... I know I closed it"

Axel: "It's blinking red by the back... Maybe that means..."

V: "It's broken, dammit. We better go check that out"

Axel and V head towards the cargo bay area of the aircraft.

Axel: "Whoa!"

V: "What happened to the door?!"

Bishop: "Well... Long story... OH SHIT! WATCH OUT!"

O'Ton-omi comes crashing into the cargo bay area, scraping across the floor as the vehicle slides up towards everyone barely missing Bishop and Belthorne who are standing by the opening.

O'Ton-omi: "Woooohooooo! That was a lot of fun, feels nice to relax and be carried for once"

Axel: "O'To..."

R3D and the children burst out of O'Ton-omi, rushing towards Axel and Zaine.

Rosie: "Axel!!!"

Axel: "Glad all of you guys are okay, especially you Leo. You seem very hurt... Are you okay?"

Leo: "Yeah, I'll be fine. The machines back in that rusty place did worst to me. At least we did it!"

Levi: "Yeah, we saved all these people!"

Luca: "Hey everyone! It's nice to meet you!"

Luca shouts as he waves to everyone in the cargo bay area still shocked by the talking vehicle nearly crashing into them.

Lily stays by Leo's side, tightly holding onto his arm.

Axel: "Yeah we did do it uh... All thanks to all of you guys. Couldn't have done it without the help of everyone here"

O'Ton-omi: "Me too right?"

Axel: "Yes O'To, you too"

V walks towards the opening of the cargo bay area, standing against the frame of the missing door. Zaine walks up behind him shortly after.

Zaine: "I know this is a lot to take in right now. But I would really appreciate the opportunity for you to let me tell you so much more... Like about your mother... She would want you to know"

V: "Alright man, just wait until we land alright..."

Zaine: "...Okay"

V: "But yeah, I really would like to hear more about my mo... Mother"

Zaine smiles and holds his hand out to shake V's hand.

Zaine: "Deal?"

V: "Deal..."

V grabs Zaine's hand and shakes it. He then turns his attention out to the coast of the island, looking at the island as they fly further away from it, watching as it slowly disappears in the distance. V then turns around, calling for Axel.

V: "Speaking of which, Axel... Those coordinates... Let me see them again"

Axel walks over to V and hands him the device. V activates it, releasing a holographic image of a small island.

V: "Just as I thought, this is the island I scouted. So the place I planned to take everyone anyway... I wonder how those old droids knew about it... Can I really trust it as a safe unknown island now, I mean if those old droids knew of it and even have coordinates..."

Axel: "V! It's alright, you saw yourself. The old droids have the humans best interest in their intentions. The island is safe"

V: "Alright..."

Axel: "Well this is great, all of us here now, together. Isn't that right Uncle Zai..."

Zaine: "Axel! Vergil!!!"

V: "Vergil?"

Rosie: "AXEL!!!"

Leo: "V!!!!!!"

R3D: "BREEEEEEEEEE!"

Just behind V, Assassin 23's battered body climbs aboard the aircraft from under the cargo bay's opening. Wielding a sharp blade, quickly charging a strike at V's back.

V: "EEeeuuuuhhh!"

Assassin 23: "I may not retrieve all of you humans, but I will complete my mission of terminating this boy called V! After all, I am an assassin"

Everyone stands by in shock, speechless and frozen in place. Zaine quickly draws his gun from his side and fires multiple shots at Assassin 23's exposed metallic skull. "BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!" V gets up from the ground to see Alyssa who pushed him out of the way pierced through the chest with Assassin 23's razor-sharp blade. Dripping blood from her mouth as her hands and feet tremble. She coughs in pain, choking on her blood.

Luca: "ALYSSAAAA!!!!!!"

Rosie: "ALYSSAAAA! NOOOO!!!!"

Assassin 23 then rushes at V with another strike from its other arm, as Alyssa's body still dangles from its other one. Leo quickly shakes Lily's hands from around his arm and runs over to the machine, grabbing hold of its waist.

Lily: "Brother?"

V: "KID NOOO!"

Leo leaps out of the aircraft holding onto Assasin 23, taking it down below into the frozen sea.

Rosie: "LEOOOOO!"

Luca: "NOT YOU TOOO!"

Lily: "Brother?"

Lily looks up frantically through her hair as she realises she can not smell the scent of her brother on the aircraft anymore.

Axel: "LEOO!!!!"

Zaine: "DAMMIT!"

She then begins to panic from the sound of everyone else shouting Leo's name in distress.

Lily: "BROTHHEEERRRRRRRR! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"

Axel: "Lily..."

Zaine: "Fuck..."

Bishop: "What just happened?!"

Rosie: "Alyssa... Leo..."

Levi: "Leooooo... Noooo... Alyssa and Leo... No, it can't be"

They all rush to the edge of the cargo bay looking down below as the bodies of Leo, Alyssa and Assasin 23 smash through the ice below, sinking down into the ice-cold sea. Lily runs to the opening trying to jump after them but Zaine catches her before she can.

Lily: "NOOOOOO! My Brother... My BRROOOTTHHHEERRRR! LE... LEEEE... LEEOOOOO!!!! LET ME GO! MY BROTHERRRRR!!!!! HE NEEDS MY HELP!!!! BROOTTHHHEERRRRRRRRRR!"

Lily burst out in a fury of screams and tears, scratching and fighting against Zaine's grasp of her. Belthorne and Bishop both come and help Zaine retrain her from getting out of his grasp and jumping out of the aircraft. Lily bawls in tears of sorrow, pools of water pour heavily from her whited out eyes as she screams.

Lily: "BROOOOTTHHEERRRR! MY BRO... MY BROOTTHHEERR! LEOO! WAAAAAaaaaa! WHHYYYY! WHHYY WON'T YOU LET ME GO!! SO I CAN HELP HIMMMM!"

Zaine: "He's... He's gone... I'm sorry but there's no way he survived that fall"

V: "I believe she's blind... She probably has no idea how high up we are... Lily, I'm sorry but you're brother..."

Axel: "You can't save him... He's"

Zaine: "It's ok, shhh shhhh It's ok"

Zaine holds Lily tightly in his arms as she cries loudly into his shoulder. He taps her back and hugs her as he consoles her.

Lily: "Leoo... Leooooo..."

The other children all begin to cry as they finally grasp the reality of the situation.

Raine: "Leo... You idiot..." *Sniff*

Rosie: "Leo... Alyssa..." *Sob*

V: "This is all my fault..."

Zaine: "Hey... Hey! This isn't anyone's fault alright?! None of us knew that fucking scrapscum was on under us. No one saw it coming. Both of those kids did the boldest and bravest thing I've ever seen. That girl pushed you out of the way to save you and Leo sacrifice himself from there being any more casualties. So let's remember them as heroes... And nothing else"

Judy: "Hey Zaine, everything alright over there? We heard some shots coming from the aircraft... You're still on coms, right? Hello?"

Zaine: "Yeah I can hear you, Judy... Two of the kids... A fucking bot just got em... One of those fucking underground metalcunts..."

Judy: "No fucking way... What happened?!"

***

Meanwhile back in New Anderthal, A fleet of massive aircrafts fly over the island, witnessing the destruction. A machine looks out at the mass confusion down below from the viewfinder of the aircraft.

The Ace: "23. Come in, 23. I have arrived at the pick-up location. Assassin 23? Where are our promised load of humans and where are you? Assassin 23? Any other assassins in the area, report to me now. 03? Assassin 03?"

Complete silence plagues The Ace's communications.

The Ace: "Useless pathetic pieces of scrap. Now I have to report this failure on my watch, I would destroy your power core with my own hands 23, melting you limb by limb like the pathetic waste of time and metal you are"

The Ace turns around and signals the other machines in the aircraft to turn the fleet around. The Ace then calls The King via a hologram.

The King: "What is it, Ace. Have you collected all the humans by now?"

The Ace: "I'm afraid not King, the assassins have failed us. Clearly"

The King: "All of them?! Not one of those assassins were competent enough to get us our merchandise?!"

The Ace: "They all seem to be destroyed and disposed of King"

The King: "How is that possible?!"

The Ace: "Take a look for yourself"

The hologram of The King then turns to see the city down below in ruins.

The Ace: Whatever destroyed this city, did it with mass firepower, extraordinary explosives, and precision. Clearly planned, seeing as though, almost the entirety of the population of this city was wiped out with one simple trap. Lead them to the base of that mountain, or at least it used to be a mountain. Only to end them all in a massive explosion and rain of fire"

The King: "These fucking humans. Do you think it was, the one who fucked with our base?"

The Ace: "Yes King, It seems very much like the events that occurred from the one that wiped out our base"

The King: "That's it, I've had enough of this. No man or machine makes a mockery of The King of the underworld and gets away with it. Call him"

The Ace: "Assassin 01?"

The King: "No, The Primordial"

The Ace: "Are you sure?"

The King: "Call The Primordial and let him see the destruction caused to one of his major cites under his cloud. By humans!"

The Ace: "Understood"

The King: "This is a declaration of war. War on those fucking humans!"
