When the System Fails

When the System Fails, Part 2

Bing flinched, Dark's laughter and light static filling the room. Before any of them could register, Bing took a hit to the side. He cried out, taking another it to the face and leg. He fell, Google trying to teleport them, rendering unable.
Dark cackled madly, light slapping noises and grunts being heard within the dark. Google panicked, trying to surge forward, Dark holding him back by dark ghostly chains. He yelped, yelling for Bing as he struggled.

Dark catapulted Bing into the wall behind him, harsh sound of metal falling heard. Google screamed and called for him, he couldn't hear Bing's grunts of noises of anguish anymore. That wasn't good, he panicked, breath hitching, eyes watery.

Bing suddenly shrieked and screamed, writhing could be heard as well as the thump of his back to the ground when he stopped arching it. Google lurched when the lights were turned on, he squeezed eyes shut at the sight. When he finally opened them again, they were gone... A single crystal clear tear, travels down his cheek. Core flashing red as he shook his head, sniffling. He'd broken his coding, everything. It didn't matter.

Chase was simply setting on the couch, laying down. Chips spelt everywhere, drinks pilled. The whole place was a mess he didn't bother to clean up. He kept checking his phone every five seconds. Just a call- text- anything. He checked once again, face planting into the soft vinyl cushions when nothing new came up. Neither would the next day, nor the next- nor the next- nor the next- It had been at least a week.
Chase got up like every past morning. Sluggish and tired, he didn't give a care, he often had a habit of doing something to suit his mood.

He thought for a moment, the dumbs seemed like a suiting place. Since a piece of trash is all he'd ever be. How could he let bing go so easily...
Shakling his head he walked there just to torture himself more in the frigid air spirallign around him like he was nothing. Just a waste of space, walking ethereal across a black black rose petal covered path.

He sighed, arms crossed, shivering ever so lightly, goosebumps visible. Pricking up from his skin, he kicked the occasional piece of trash. Looking suspicious as he walked down the small pathways made of plastic mesh on top of the piles. He heard the sound of more trash piling. He looked to it, watching carefully.

Something quite human shaped falls, he raised an eyebrow, walking over. Oh, it was just a mannequin, Chase shrugged walking off. He continued wandering around for a while. The place was oddly quiet almost peaceful if it weren't for the smell. He gets lost deep in his thoughts. He trips over something, falling harshly with a yelp, he looks down at his feet to see what he tripped over.
Kicking it lightly out of frustration and surprise. It's only when he saw the color and precise shap-
No

No

This couldn't be- that. That- wasn't possible... That-
Chase leaned up, gasping loudly, he cradled the broken android in his hands. How the fuck could he let this happen. How-how?
"B-Bing, I did this to you didn't I... Oh-oh my fuckign god." He looked over the android fully.

Wires were everywhere, pipes and tubes spewing from his stomach like guts. He had countless scratches, one of his eyes clearly missing. The other staring into the abyss blankly. The most devastating detail being the frozen terror on his face and the gaping hole in his chest. Wires snapped where they seemed to have previously been attached to a larger component that may have seemed to be a heart- or in fact a core.

"No, no, I did this, how could I?!" He shook his head, moving into denial as he shook the other's shoulders.
"Oh, my god, no, no, no, nononono-" He brushed at the other's hair, seeing how damaged he really was in an entirety that felt like a truck ramming into him. He started wailing, tears spilling over his eyes. He lightly hit Bing's chest, laying his head on it and sobbing into him. They both shook with the force of his cries. He stayed there for hours, until he couldn't cry anymore. Pulling his phone out he decided to inform Google- well if was there.
