Chapter 286 - The Lab (2/2)

”Well what would that be?” Laz asked, looking around.

”No idea. It's your voice...” Ruby said with a smirk while also examining the area.

Nothing really stuck out at first until one of the half lit lights hit a piece of metal just right to catch Laz's eye.

He made his way over and gently moving aside some of the fallen rubble, Laz noticed a crushed automation that was just a ways down from the door. Half of it was buried by the fallen ceiling while the rest was damaged. The thing looked human in size, but dented, rusted and beat up beyond repair. He couldn't be sure, but something was telling him that this hunk of junk was what he was looking for.

”Baby. Over here,” Laz called over to Ruby who was still poking around other pieces of debris.

”This... is...?” Ruby asked, not sure what Laz was indicating.

”I think this is it?”

”You think?”

”I don't know.”

”It's a good thing you're cute cause otherwise you would be super useless,” Ruby teased Laz.

”Oh. I'm pretty sure I am good for something else...” Laz said, wrapping his arms around her supple waist.

”Laz. As freaky as I like it and I have never done it in another world before... I don't think it's even possible to get into the mood right now...”

”Yeah. Alright. Good point.”

”Anyway, this thing...” Ruby bent down and looked at the human sized hunk of junk.

”I'm pretty sure this is what it wanted...”

”Shh... wait baby... Let me think...”

Laz didn't say anything while Ruby looked over the robot. She was careful not to touch anything on it, just to prevent any surprises. Her gaze finally came to rest on what would have been it's left arm, if it would be called an arm.

”I think I get it, but it doesn't make a single bit of f.u.c.k.i.n.g sense. Why would machines need locks?” she said while shaking her head.

”What?”

”It's arm... the key is it's hand type... what ever the f.u.c.k it is...”

”So we need it's arm?”

”I think so?”

”That's not totally helpful...”

”You got a better idea big boy, this girl is all ears...”

”Yeah. No. Ok. We will go with what you said. Still.... I don't think we can move this thing. It's basically supporting the entire ceiling that's collapsed on it. Then again, if we only need the hand...” Laz leaned over the indicated arm and summoned out his black flame, covering his entire fist with it. Before Ruby could stop him, Laz slam down in a chopping motion. Had the automation been new and undamaged, Laz's probably wouldn't of even been able to make a dent. But after such an extended period of time and damaged, the hand came right off with little effort.

”See? That was easy... oh f.u.c.k...” Laz's smile at a job well down quickly disappeared as the eyes on the monstrosity lit up, like a sleeping creature opening it's eyelids.

Laz couldn't help but back away while carrying the hand as Ruby did the same.

The creature looked like it wanted to move, but the damage was way too severe for that. Added on to it the amount of weight on top of it, it was barely able to turn it's head while looking at Ruby and Laz.

”Intruders detected in main lab. Unit damage 95%. Repair not possible. Support not responding. Switching to primary function, final cleansing. Initiating....”

”Did you understand that?” Laz asked Ruby.

”Yes.”

”We are in f.u.c.k.i.n.g trouble... I don't think it's looking to give us a bath...” Laz said, feeling waves of energy coming from the automation.

”F.u.c.k.... You just couldn't wait, could you?” Ruby said, grabbing the hand from Laz.

She quickly went to work, connecting the various digits on the hand into the holes on the keypad. After having put the various fingers into the holes, Ruby and Laz heard various clicks taking place in the door, but after a moment they stopped and the door didn't open.

Ruby looked at Laz.

”You're looking really calm right now...”

”Didn't think I'd die being blown up by an imitation terminator... what a f.u.c.k.i.n.g way to go...”

At that moment the, door which had previously looked like it was dead, started to inch open.

”Thank god...” Laz said, grabbing Ruby's hand and rushing inside without even looking.

Just as they got inside the door, Laz threw Ruby to the side and jumped on top of her before a world ending blast sounded. Bright light and intense heat filled the inside of the darkened room through the small, barely human sized crack that had opened.

After everything had calmed down, Laz finally got off of Ruby, doing his best to stretch his back. Shards of metal had imbedded itself in his back, shredding through his military gear. If it wasn't for how sturdy he was, he would have been cut to ribbons by that blast.

”That f.u.c.k.i.n.g hurt,” Laz said trying to get a feel for the damage.

”Hey, can you give me a hand.... for the love of god's left testicle....” Laz said as he got a clear view of the room they had gotten into.

Even Ruby's eye's were glued to the things they saw while trying her best not to throw up.
