{A/N: This chapter focuses on MX's memories and not N or V's memories as the memories are not connected in anyway}
{A/N: Also Spoiler Warning as some scenes in this chapter appear in MD episode 7}
{Earth}
The scene opens up to reveal Max standing in a garage like room, looking at a metallic silver drone.
Said drone would later become known as Unit MX. It would become one of many models.
Max was looking over the drone, attempting to get it working as that's what JC Jensen (In Spaaaaaceee) tasked him with doing.
Max: I don't know what I'm doing!? I don't know!
Max grabbed the instructions that came with the drone, only for them not to be useful.
Max: WHY ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS IN RUSSIAN!? Where's Yeva when you need her?
On cue the door opened, causing Max to turn around.
Max: Yeva?
Stepping into the room was a smaller drone in a maid outfit.
Max: Cyn? What're you doing here?
Cyn walked over to Max and climbed onto the couch.
Cyn: Crisscross Applesauce. Giggle. I was locked out again.
Max sighed as he shook his head.
Max: J locked you out again? I swear I'll reboot her next time I see her.
Cyn: Giggle. You are funny, Maxxie.
Max looked back at the small drone.
Max: So I've been told. Do you want a ride back to the Mansion?
Cyn looked at Max, as he leaned against a wall.
Cyn: Hmm. No. It is late and I would like to stay here.
Max nodded as he walked over to a metal cabinet, grabbing a small blanket and pillow.
Max: I figured as much. You know where the bed is, Cyn. Here's a pillow and blanket for you.
Max handed the blanket and pillow to Cyn as she looked over at the silver drone on the table.
Cyn: Questioning head tilt. What are you working on?
Max looked back at the drone before answering Cyn.
Max: Oh, just some project The Company is working on. They wanted me to test the prototype but I can't get it working yet.
Cyn stared at the motionless drone, one of her yellow eyes flashing to the solver symbol and back to normal.
Cyn: Interesting. Sinister smile.
Max looked down at the small drone, clueless at what Cyn said.
Max: You say something?
Cyn: Giggle. No. Good night, Maxxie.
Max: Goodnight, Cyn.
~~~~
A few hours have passed and Max was seen sleeping on the couch as the tv played in the background. Peaking around a corner was the head of Cyn as she looked at the sleeping Max.
Cyn began to sneakily make her way past sleeping Max towards the garage.
Cyn: Hehe, sneaking, sneaking. I'm sneaky.
Cyn quietly entered the garage and turned her attention to the currently disabled drone.
Cyn smiled sadistically as a claw grew from her back.
Cyn: Oh, yes. My Ultimate Weapon.
{Next Morning}
Max still was passed out on the couch as Cyn was in the garage with the other drone. Max rolled to his right, falling off the couch.
Max (Pain): Ah, fuck. My head.
Max sat up rubbing his head as he could feel a bump forming.
Max: Ugh.
Max stood up, turning the tv off, before looking around.
Max: Cyn? Where you at?
Cyn called out to Max from the garage, causing Max to make his way to the garage.
Max walked into the garage to see Cyn standing next to the prototype drone.
Max: Woah! Cyn, did you get it working?
Cyn: Giggle. I did. I am smart.
Max: Hell yeah you are.
Max rubbed the hair on Cyn as he looked over the prototype.
Max: Looks to be working well. How'd you get it booted up?
Cyn: I worked my magic!
Max chuckled as he looked down at the small drone.
Max: I guess you did. Good job, Cyn.
Max looked down at Cyn when the entire area suddenly became staticky and glitchy.
Uzi: OH CRAP! Not good!
V: What're you doing to him!?
Uzi: He's waking up....somehow.
{Copper 9}
The scene changes to Uzi's room as she had MX hooked to her computer attempting to repair his memories.
Uzi: I don't get it. He shouldn't be waking up.
V: Well put him to sleep again!
N: Heh, I guess someone doesn't want us finding his memories.
Uzi: Seems so. I mean it's bad enough we can't even see what memories he has.
N: We can't? Why not?
Uzi: If I were to load any of us into his mind, it appears that he would subconsciously detect it as a threat and begin a memory wipe completely. So if we just restore his memories without loading any of us in there, it should be safer.....I hope.
V stood next to Uzi, her sword hand activated.
V: It better be, for your sake.
Uzi rolled her eyes as she managed to put MX back into a sleep mode.
Uzi: Okay, he's out again. Let's continue.
~~~~
The scene changes back to Earth as Max was seen driving down the road with Cyn in the passenger seat.
Cyn: Disappointing frown. Do I have to go back?
Max: Sadly. I would take you if I could but I'm going to be gone for a few days, maybe longer.
Cyn frowned more.
Max: Tell you what. When I get back, I'll come get you and you can stay with me. How's that sound?
Cyn looked up at Max, who looked at her with a smile.
Cyn: Happy nod. Yes. I would love that.
Max: Good. Now I'll tell Tess to keep a good eye on you and to make sure J doesn't bully you anymore. You mentioned you like N, so stick with him.
Cyn nodded as Max focused on the road.
After driving around for a few, Max pulled up to the Elliot Mansion, stepping out of the car. Max and Cyn walked up to the door and knocked.
This time, the door was opened by Tessa.
Tessa: Maxxie!
Max: Hry, Tess. Got something for you.
Peaking out from behind Max was Cyn as she sheepishly waved.
Cyn: Sheepish wave.
Tessa: Huh!? How'd you get her?
Max: She was locked out. Just keep an eye on her and make sure nothing bad happens. I've got business to attend to but when I'm done, I'll be back for her.
Tessa nodded as she looked at Cyn before looking at Max.
Tessa: Okay, I will. How long are you going to be gone for?
Max shrugged.
Max: A few days, maybe longer.
Tessa: Alright, then. I'll make sure nothing happens.
Max: Good. See yah later, Tess.
Tessa hugged her brother as Max reciprocated the hug. Tessa led Cyn back into the Mansion, as she looked back to see Max entering his car.
Max waved to Cyn as she waved back as the Mansion Doors closed.
{Uzi's Bedroom}
Uzi looked over from her computer and at the two Disassembly Drones.
Uzi: Good news, he's got most of his memories back now. Just one or two more and he'll remember everything.
N: Good job, Uzi!
V: Hurry this up already.
Uzi rolled her eyes as she turned back to her computer, proceeding to unlock the next Memory for MX.
~~~~
The scene changes to a Cathedral as Max was seen standing over an unconscious worker.
Max: Sorry, mate. Ain't nothing personal.
Max proceeded to get dressed in the workers Hazmat suit and equipping said workers ID badge.
Max made his way into the main area of the Cathedral where other people in Hazmat suits were running around.
Max saw one person in a hazmat suit but also a Pope hat.
Max's Mind: The hell is going on here?
Ridley: Science holding strong, sir!
Max walked closer to the center where he noticed her.
Hung up by a bunch of chains was his favorite drone, Nori but she was different. Her eyes were yellow instead of purple and she was acting completely different than her usual self.
Max's Mind: Don't worry, Nori. I'll get you out of here.
Max stared at Nori as she seemingly stared back at him.
Ridley: Dr Chambers!
Max looked down at his ID Badge and noticed he was in fact, Dr Chambers.
Max: What do you need?
As Max spoke, lightning struck and along the wall was shadowy claws emerging from Nori's back.
Somehow the shadow claws broke the chains holding Nori, as she slowly floated to the ground.
Said shadow claws grabbed a harpoon off the wall and flung it towards Max, who rolled out of the way.
As Nori touched the ground, a worker activated the platform that Nori stood on, pulling her into the platform, causing her to be "temporarily disabled" as her shadow claws retracted back to her.
Max glared through his hazmat visor, worried for his friend but also slightly concerned for her as well.
Ridley: Chambers!
Max turned towards Ridley as she tossed him another ID badge. This one for another drone he knew, 048 or better known as, Yeva.
Ridley: Get 48!
Max: On it.
Ridley walked past Max, pulling out a crucifix with a USB port on the end of it.
Max ran out of the Cathedral, before looking back as Nori's yellow eyes were looking at him again, before the Cathedral doors closed.
Max avoided the two robotic dinosaur like creatures, known as Sentinels, before arriving to a cave like entrance.
Max: Totally not creepy.
Max ran in, looking for where the people kept Yeva. Max walked into a hall with lockers with numbers along them, making him look for Yeva's locker.
Upon finding her locker, Max opened it to see Yeva playing Tetris. She looked up at him, seemingly annoyed.
Max: Don't look at me like that.
Hearing his voice, Yeva recognized who was speaking to her.
Yeva: Max?
Max: Yeah, look. I've got no time to explain but I need you to come with me. I'll explain why I'm here on the way.
Yeva nodded as the two began to make their way back to the Cathedral.
Yeva: What are you doing here?
Max: I'm here because I was originally tasked with dropping off more drones for whatever is going on here and I kind of wanted to see Nori but she's currently being pressed down by a high powered magnet and you're need for some reason.
Max and Yeva grew closer to the Cathedral as Yeva looked up at Max.
Max: Long story short, I'm here to get you and her out of here.
Yeva looked at Max with skepticism as the two kept running.
Yeva: And how are you getting us out of here?
Max: We'll cross that bridge when we get there. Let's just get Nori back.
Running back to the Cathedral, something ominous caught Max's attention.
The Sentinels that were chained up outside, were gone. Max grew suspicious as the two walked up to the Cathedral doors.
Max walked ahead of Yeva, stepping into the Cathedral, looking around on high alert.
To the normal eye, everything was normal, but something in Max's gut was telling him otherwise.
Ridley: Chambers, get over here!
Going with his gut, Max pressed his foot against the door, stopping Yeva from entering, which only confused the drone more.
Max: Yeah, so I couldn't find 48?
Hearing that from the outside, Yeva only became more confused before growing slight panicked and concerned.
Max walked forward, on guard as he couldn't shake the feeling something was wrong.
As Max was passing by some church seats, he noticed the real Ridley holding her arm, hiding.
Max: Aw, fuck.
Ridley was soon snatched by a claw and pulled into a giant hole where Nori was supposed to be.
Max: What the fuck!?
The building began to shake as pieces of the ceiling began to fall.
Noticing the Crucifix USB on the ground, Max grabbed it, while dodging the falling debris.
Standing up, Max looked towards the hole as Nori came out of it, two claws sprouting from her back.
As she walked closer, the claws scrapped along the ground, causing Max to stand in a defensive position.
Max: Nori! Knock it off, it's me!
Nori (Solver): Nori is not here right now, Maxxie.
Solver Nori used the solvers power to pull the crucifix out of Max's hands and then fling it towards him.
Max rolled out of the way as the Crucifix stopped mid air. This time it was Yeva who was using the Solver Powers.
Max: Good save, Yeva.
Yeva flashed a thumbs up as she used her Solver Powers to fling the Crucifix at Solver Nori.
The crucifix was jammed into Nori's head as it seemingly began to erase the Solver from Nori.
Walking over to her, Max crouched down next to her, removing his hazmat helmet.
Max: Nori?
Nori looked at as the Solver had one last trick up its sleeve. In a small black ball was a [null] which was basically end all be all for the Solver.
Yeva quickly reacted by throwing a broken shard of metal at Nori's hand causing the hand and [null] to fall into the hole.
Yeva helped Nori up as Max stood next to the hole, looking down in it.
Max: Yeah, this is fucking creepy as shit.
Suddenly a violent shaking occurred, causing Max to lose balance, making him fall into the hole.
Yeva and Nori attempted to help him but were too slow.
The two could only watch in horror as the one human they treated them normal, was gone.
{Rewind to Part Six}
Max managed to somehow survive his fall into the hole, only to end up in some sort of tunnel system as he was now sitting on the ground, one of his hands chained up to a wall, as dried blood was scattered over his shirt and pants.
Rolling down his face was fresh blood as a cut was visible on the top of his head. His breathing was slow and heavy as he somehow remained alive.
His eyes soon opened up as footsteps approached him. He faintly looked up to see what appeared to be another human...just with X's for eyes.
Max's vision was blurred due to his injuries but he knew deep down that the "person" in front of him wasn't human.
????: Ready to talk, Big Brother Max? Head tilt.
All the person got in response was Max spitting some blood out in front of them.
????: Annoyed sigh. Where is the other robot?
Max: Your mother's house....oh wait, you ain't got one! Heheh.
The "person" grew agitated and threw a tantrum, causing Max to smirk.
????: Tantrum!
The "person" threw a table full of surgical tools to the side. Max tried chuckling but only came out as gurgled coughing.
The "person" looked at the wall and saw a bunch of spare drone parts. They looked at the wall and then Max and then the wall again, gaining a sinister idea.
????: Sinister smile. Oh, Big Brother Max?
Max lifted his head towards the person.
Max: The fuck do you want now?
Max didn't get a response back, causing him to faintly look up and see the "person" standing over him with tendril like limbs holding drone parts, big enough for humans to wear.
Max: ....heh, what? Gonna stuff me inside that shit? You think I'm claustrophobic or something, heheh.
One by one, Max's limbs were encased in the damaged drone parts. Max was defenseless to stop the "person", not that he was afraid or anything.
Max was no stranger to these life or death situations. Normally someone would have broke the door down and freed him in time so they could fight their way out but it's been over seven months since Max was brought here.
Max's eyes were barely visible through the damaged drones visor as he glared at the "person" who only stood back with a smile.
The person only smiled sinisterly as Max laughed, his makeshift suit moving back and forth from his laughter.
Max (Muffled): Was this your big plan? Put me in a decommissioned drone suit? Hehahahah!
SNAP
The sound of metal snapping was heard as extreme pain rushed from Max's arm.
Max slowly turned and looked at his arm as he no longer was able to move it, as blood dripped out of the damaged arm of the drone.
Max held back tears as he was actually in immense pain from the damage to his arm.
SNAP
Another set of metal snapping sounds were heard as these sounds came from the legs. Max couldn't hold in the pain anymore as he screamed out in pain.
Max: ARGH...h-help...n-n-no!!
Reality began to set in for Max as he was trapped with no escape.
SNAP
More snapping sounds rang out as Max's other arm was now crushed.
SNAP
Pained, muffled gasping was heard from the inside of the drone head as his torso was now getting crushed from the metallic springs in the drone body.
Max (Dying): ....h-h-hel-help.....m-m-me....
Max barely able to mutter any words as the "person" stood over Max, holding a sinister smile, this time, Max was able to get one good look at the "person" killing him.
Max (Muffled Muttering): T-T-Tes-Tessa?
SNAP
A final set up snapping was heard as the drones head locked into place, officially killing Max as the "Person" walked away, leaving the twitching, dying Max.
{Uzi's Bedroom}
Uzi typed on her computer, before turning to the other Disassembly Drones.
Uzi: Got it! He should remember everything now.
Everyone turned towards MX as he visor showed a bar filling up with the words "Rebooting" across his visor.
After successfully rebooting, MX's visor lit up with his signature red eyes. Without wasting a moment, MX ripped the cords out of his head, looking at Uzi.
Uzi: Did it work? Do you have your memories?
MX: I wish I didn't remember now.
Uzi: Are they bad!?
MX remembered everything but not wanting to tell her anything, lied.
MX: No, it's just taking up space on the Cloud.
Uzi: Oh, I-I can delete some if you want?
MX stood up, shaking his head.
MX: No, it's fine. Thanks, Uzi.
Uzi smiled and nodded as MX turned his attention towards V and N.
MX: Your turn!
V and N looked at each other and shook their heads no, but ultimately didn't have a choice as MX managed to connect them to Uzi's computer, putting them into Sleep Mode.
MX: Good luck, Uzi.
Uzi: Thanks, bro.
MX sat on Uzi's bed as she began to go through the memories of N and V. MX smiled softly as he thought back on all the memories he had with Nori and even Yeva.
MX's Mind: I hope you're okay, Nori.
