The Only One Left Book 3: Robots from Outer Space

BONUS!

"Y-Yeah, I know...I just instantly act like that. I hated being away from my home." You said, "How did you react to this place?" You asked, "Well...I went insane and tried to find the exit of this place to escape from here but I just realized that I can't escape from this digital nightmare." Pomni said, "I'm so sorry that you had to go through this but I don't blame you" You said, "I just wanna get out of here...if I could even remember." She said as she leaned against the wall and sat down while holding her head. "You're not the only one. One minute, I was in my room, about to take a nap and now, I'm in this place of a nightmare. Plus, look at what I'm wearing!" You exclaimed,

"I look like a [HONK!]-ing clown. Oh...uh, no offense." "None taken." She said, "And not to mention, I just wanna punch that ringleader's teeth or head off with that-" You then noticed a big red X over another clown's face on a door. "Wait...who's that?" You muttered, then noticed a few more characters down the hall and most of them had a red X mark on their profile. "Who are all them?" "I really don't know but..from what the others told me..they were ones who used to be here too like us but now...they're gone and abstracted." Pomni said, "Wait...what do you mean by 'abstracted'?" You asked,

Pomni only looked nervous while rubbing her arm and looked down as you soon realized what she meant by that. "Oh...they're..?" "M-Mhm...that's what happened to Kufmauo." She said, "That's this other clown guy?" You asked, "Yeah.." "Oh god, I need to get out of here." You muttered, "That's a problem, ever since I've come here. I thought I saw an exit from outside but nobody believed me. I tried so much to find an exit and it's the only thing that keeps me from going insane." She groaned as she sat back down. "I wanna go back home and just...try to remember my name or what happened to me before."

You feel bad for her. 'All she wanted was to be free and she was trapped here for who knows how long.' You went to her and sat next to her. "I'm sorry, Pomni." "I-It's not your f-fault. I just.." She whimpered through her words as she covered her eyes while crying a bit, you patted her back in comfort. "There, there, Pomni.." You said. You stayed there as you comforted her while the rest of the crew were watching from the corner. "That's actually sweet for them to comfort her.." Ragatha said, "Yeah, whatever, it's cheesy for my taste anyways." Jax said as he was about to walk off from the corner.

"You're just saying that because they scared you with the fake gun. And to be honest, that was the only funny thing that I had ever seen in a while." Zooble said, making Jax stop in his tracks. "First off, they didn't scare me with that fake gun thing, Second, they started it." He said, "Um, you were the one teasing them when they came here." Gangle said, "Yeah, yeah, whatever." "Want me to-" "AH!" They turned to them and they saw them standing away from each other but it looked like you were almost fading away or glitching as Pomni stared at them from shock. "What the- Y/N, what's happening to you?" Ragatha asked,

"I-I don't know! Am I glitching? Abstracting?" You asked, "No, my friend! It seems like someone has awakened you in the real world. It's a farewell for you." Caine said, "WHAT?!" Everyone shouted, "Th-They're going back home?! Like an actual home in reality?" Pomni asked, "Apparently and surprisingly, yes. Might as well say goodbye to them before they leave." Caine said, "Wait, so the way we can get out of here is for someone else to wake us up from this place? What kind of [BEEP!] rule is that?!" Zooble exclaimed, "Well, I guess it's our first and last goodbye...Sorry, we never got to know your name, buddy." Jax said,

"I'm Y/N, Y/N L/N and same thing to you guys-" Your sentence was cutted off when Pomni suddenly grabs you by your collar. "Please! If you ever found a place that looks like a workplace, please save us!" She exclaimed, "But how would I know what place you would be?" You questioned. She whispered it into your ears as you started to fade away from the digital world. "Bye, Y/N!"

You gasped deeply as you saw a bright light pointing directly at you while looking away. "Alright, they're coming back!" You shook your head as you slowly stood up and noticed that you were laying on the cushion like a bed. You realized that you were back to your normal self. "Are you okay, Y/N?" You turned around to see Marmalade and a few drones checking on the settings and writing it down. "M-Marmalade? What happened? Where am I?" You muttered, "Don't worry, you're back. You were in some sort of trance that made you fall asleep and probably, lifeless." He said,

"What?" "Nothing. Anyways, come on. The others are worried about you." He led you outside of the room to see the others waiting until they noticed you by the door. "Y/N!" "H-Hey, guys." You muttered while rubbing your head. "Are you okay? Who did this to you? Want me to commit genocide?" Uzi questioned, "No, no, Uzi! It's okay, but...to be honest, I don't know if someone did this to or not. I can't even remember." You said, "Well, when we came to check on you, we found this old vrchat game headset on you and it was like you were in a trance that made you go lifeless." R said, "Really? Then, where is it?" You asked,

She pointed at the worker drones observing while checking the system. "It put you in some sort of blockage in the digital that kept you away from us. When we first saw you in it while you were in bed, we tried to take it off multiple times before but since that didn't work for you, we just have to use more 'effective techniques'." She said, "But you're lucky to p survive. We were worried about you." N said, "Even V was worried." "I wasn't worried about them. I said we just leave them be and go on with our day, I don't care what happens to them." She said, "But YOU were the one who wanted to take them to the hospital at first." Uzi said,

"And wanted to find who did that to them. You were very worried." V rolled her eyes at them and crossed her arms. "Whatever." "Heh, she kept denying but she knows the truth, right, N/N?" B said, but you didn't respond. "Y/N?" They looked at you as you were staring at the old headset and remembered the moments with those characters in the game. 'They are trapped inside of that thing...I have to do something about it.' "Y/N!" You snapped out of your gaze and looked at your friends. "Was there something in it that made you act like this?" Uzi asked.

You wanted to tell her the real truth about what happened in that headset and about those people who are trapped in there but...they wouldn't believe you. "Nothing, Uzi. It's nothing, just thinking about something." You said, "Y/N, I know there's something wrong with you. We're all onto you." She said, "Mhm..." "Trust me, guys. I'm fine now." You said, "Give them a break, Uzi. They just came back from whatever that it was in that old vrchat headset or whatever." Tessa said, "Yeah, I mean, we just found them lifeless with that headset on him. They're just recovering." B said,

"Fine...I guess you're right." Uzi said, "Mhm, I'll check you guys later. I, uh...I got to rest after what happened." You said as you walked past them while they looked at each other confused. "Should we do something about that?" N asked, "Maybe. We should ask them more questions later but we have to find who even put that old headset on him in the first place." Uzi said,

Meanwhile, you reached into your room while leaning against the door as you took a deep breath. You looked at yourself in the mirror and you could still remember that same outfit that you had in that digital world. "What was that place?" You muttered, "Those guys have been there for years and haven't been able to get out or anything. That really is a digital prison." Then, you looked at your cyborg arm and played the recording. "Please! If you ever found a place that looks like an abandoned workplace, please save us!" " "But how would I know what place you would be?"

"*whispers* I don't really know but the place's name had a 'C & A' logo on it when I tried running away." "Okay, I got it." The recording stopped while you just stared at your robotic arm, then you went to your computer and started to research something. You went into a few websites until you went into one for missing people and you saw many people missing each one of them has been labeled missing for years until you come across a woman around her 20s that has shown she's missing. "What the..." You looked at when they were missing and they were last seen in some old workspace place.

"Come on, give us something." You muttered, you then came across a picture of a woman around her 30s and she was going into a company that has a logo with 'C & A'. You looked at all of the missing people posters and all of them said the same thing about the same company's logo. "Oh my god..." You look up the company's name and show that it works on VR headsets for games. "If they were all last seen going to that company...and those characters there said that they've been there in that game for years...then, that means.." The realization slowly came to you as your eyes widened with shock.
