What's Out There Part 1

Chapter 13

Moon stared at Blood Ruby in unbelief. Suddenly, Maxwell came crashing through the ceiling with seven knives in his back.

"Oh, hey guys," Maxwell looked up at the two.

"WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED?!" Moon shouted.

"Just as I said," Blood Ruby groaned. "I killed him," Blood ruby detached the huge gun she had on her back and aimed it for Maxwell's head. Midnight just happened to be down the hall to see all this play out and so she did what she thought was right. She tackled Blood Ruby.

"Don't hurt him!" Midnight shouted. Blood Ruby lost her balance and fell over. Midnight attempted to get the gun away from Blood Ruby.

"MIDNIGHT! WHAT IS GOING ON?!" Everything was going too fast for Moon to keep up with. Maxwell was messing around with one of the knives in his back.

"Ow. I think one of the knives is screwing with my brain," Maxwell barely touched the knife. "[KILL MODE ENGAGED] Aw, crud," Maxwell had accidentally set off his 'Kill mode'. Midnight and Blood Ruby were still fighting over the gun.

"Guys..." Moon kept her eyes on Maxwell. "Something tells me that we should run..."

"Yeah, you guys should run, I don't really have any control over this," Maxwell explained. His goggles turned bright red and he pulled out a sword from his pocket.

"Well, I don't know about y'all but I don't wanna die, so, cya!" Moon tried to take off but only to fail. "Strike, why--"

"I DON'T HAVE TIME TO FIGURE THAT OUT RIGHT NOW!" Midnight yelled to Moon. since Maxwell had no control over who he killed he ended up stabbing one of the three.

"You other two should probably run," Maxwell said nonchalantly. Moon stood in shock.

"Get OFF me!" Blood Ruby pushed Midnight away from her, because out of everybody, she was the first blood. Midnight lay on the ground, breathing heavily. Moon ran as fast as she could, Blood Ruby close behind her.

"Sorry about that," Maxwell apologized, then ran after the other two, leaving Midnight to bleed to death. Moon decided to teleport as far away as she could, but Blood Ruby stood her ground.

"Fight me, nerd," Blood ruby reached for her gun, only to realize it wasn't there. It must've been back with Midnight. Maxwell had reached Ruby at this point and stabbed her five hundred sixty-four times in two seconds. Blood Ruby only smiled.

"I've had worse!" She scoffed. Maxwell realized that there was no blood was coming from any of the wounds, so he pressed a button that made the walls close in. "HA!" Blood Ruby laughed. She jumped off the walls and landed on a platform above her. Before Blood Ruby could make a run for it, Maxwell had somehow made it in front of her and stabbed her in the eye. Blood Ruby yelped and fell on her back.

"I'm not really in control of what I'm doing right now," Maxwell stated while throwing knives at Blood Ruby.

"I noticed," She retorted, pulling an eye patch out of her pocket and putting it over the eye that Maxwell had just stabbed. She dodged Maxwell's knives and got to her feet. "You know, you remind me a lot of myself," Blood Ruby said, not thinking about her words carefully. "We're both robots."

"Never tell a killer what you are," Maxwell pulled out a taser and shocked Blood Ruby at a voltage that would badly damage any robot. Blood ruby fell to her knees and became unresponsive. Moon was watching from a distance.

"Oh crud," Moon whispered. "Looks like I'm the only one left," Moon quickly and quietly flew back to Midnight. Maxwell passed out due to the lack of people to kill. Moon grabbed a bandage and started to wrap up Midnight because Moon knew that her magic couldn't heal blood loss.

Meanwhile, Maxwell woke up and had resumed trying to remove the knife that triggered his kill mode.

When Moon had finished bandaging Midnight, she threw a glance up to Blood Ruby. Blood Ruby became responsive and made it to her feet in a twitchy manner.

"Well," Moon sighed. "Looks like nobody died so far," at those words, Maxwell burst through the wall.

"Could you pull the knife out of my back? I almost had it then you said you were still alive," Maxwell requested. Moon attempted to grab the knife but Maxwell jerked away and tried to stab her. "Yeah, that's the issue..."

"Okay, you're going to have to calm down," Moon said. Midnight began to moan, a perfect distraction. "Oh darn, she's waking up!" while Maxwell was distracted by Midnight, Moon teleported behind him and pulled out the knives. Maxwell fell onto his face.

"Thank you," Maxwell's voice was muffled, due to his face being on the ground.

"No problem, idiot," Moon growled. "Next time don't go ALL KILL CRAZY! There might be three people but two of them are technically the same person!" Blood Ruby had fixed her twitching and came to check on Midnight. "What do you want?" Moon hissed at Blood Ruby.

"I want to help," Blood Ruby replied. "The Maxwell from my world was a medic. Sure, I am a General, but I know a thing or two."

"It was Blood Ruby's fault that this happened, she stabbed me in the exact place that would trigger kill mode. Also, I have something that can help," Maxwell ran off to his office while Blood Ruby and Moon argued over Midnight's condition. Maxwell returned with his Medi-gun equipped. "Alright, what's the damage?"

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? YOU FREA--" Moon began to shout.

"Stab wound and what appears to be damaged feelings," Blood Ruby cut right to the chase.

"I can help with the stab part," Maxwell informed them, firing up the Medi-gun. "Okay! Everyone NOT severely injured stand back!" Moon went and sat next to Midnight while Blood Ruby backed away. Maxwell shot the two with the medi-gun. After all of Midnight's wounds were healed, Maxwell turned off the medi-gun. "There we go," Maxwell sighed. Midnight gasped when she woke up and immediately started crying.

"Are you okay?!" Moon asked her. Midnight only replied with more tears.

"I've never seen somebody cry that much," Blood Ruby stated.
