???: A-Ah! I...know...

It hurts. So much. But I don't care. I need him. To help him. To save him.

???: There's a lab...the coordinates...

Zircon: GHK!

I can't...keep up this hypnosis for much longer...

???: The coordinates are...

Maya P.O.V.

Maya: This better be important.

I arrived at the base, which was sorta a wreck. There's some commotion over there...

Maya: What's all the hubbub?

Protogen: Zircon managed to get the information from the human. But...he's not doing so good.

Zircon is laying on a stretcher, twitching. He's malfunctioning...

Maya: Zircon!

Medic: Don't worry, he'll be fine. He seems to have had an emotional shock that allowed him to hypnotize the human earlier that expected. But...he passed his limit.

Maya: How long will he be out?

Medic: He needs a whole day to recover.

Maya: I should probably tell Jacko...

Medic: No need. He's already come to see him.

Maya: Where is he now!?

Medic: Ran off to the coordinates. Said he'll get his "pet" back. The humans took his pet?

Maya: Zircon has a pet human.

Medic: WH-WHAT!? That's...unorthodox...

Maya: Hey, don't judge him. 

Medic: Sure, I won't...he's got his own kink, that's fine... Gotta admit, using hypnosis on someone in that span of time is impressive. You sure have one tough friend.

Maya: Heh, he sure is tough. Give me the coordinates, we could use all the backup we can.

After being given the coordinates, we got onto a "truck" and drove there. We prepared for anything, including the worst-case scenario, and waited. We waited for a while. And...hey, is that a drone!? I grabbed my gun, aimed, and shot.

The drone tried to dodge, but it got scraped on it's side. It went somewhere else, slowly going down.

Maya: We might have people following us. Be on extra alert, people.

Parlin P.O.V.

Now you might be wondering who I am. Well, I'm P4R71N (Parlin).

I'm just an ordinary protogen just trying to get by

I'm just an ordinary protogen just trying to get by. I sort of got into an accident with sleepwalking and jumping off a cliff, but that's in the past.

Now, I'm in a "car" to go to a secret laboratory. Ooh, how mysterious. Anyway, I'm just listening to some tunes. The music these humans have isn't that bad.

My friends tell me to shut it off, as this is "professional" and we're on a mission. So I reluctantly turn it off. What a bunch of buzzkills.

Eventually, we reach the spot. It's...nothing.

Protogen: There must be a hidden switch...

Parlin: Really? Then let's look for it.

We hopped out of the car and looked around for anything. Now, listening to music wasn't considered "bad", it's just this protogen seems to be in a bit of a hurry.

Parlin: Are you doin' good? You seem...rushed.

Protogen: I am. I gotta find...something...

Parlin: Hm, what's your deal?

Protogen: My friend got something stolen from them. I'm gonna get it back.

Parlin: What'd he lose?

Protogen: A -

Protogen2: I found something! It -

*BOOM*

I saw the protogen fly into the sky, and land on the grass.

Parlin: Okay, you scout for more booby traps, I'll help this one.

I got the blow up protogen in the car. He'll live, but he's super damaged. I patched him up. It seems he damaged his chest and right arm...oof, the right arm looks beyond repair, probably would have to amputate it.

Turning my head, a loud noise erupted, and a hatch appeared. Looks like grumpy-pants found something.

I ran over, and tried to open it. Locked, of course. After slashing at it, it broke into pieces.

Protogen: This is it...

Parlin: Yeah...say, what's your name, grumpster?

Jacko: ...Jacko. Now shut up, we have stuff to do.

??? P.O.V.

Wow, he is even stupider than I thought. This is gonna be too easy...
