Chapter 12 - Part Twelve: Betrayal

{Third Person POV}

Inside Uzi's room was Uzi herself, MX as well as V and N. Also that little bug Uzi found at Camp 98.7, who was perched on Uzi's hat.

MX was currently laying on Uzi's bed, actively in a rest mode, as Uzi continued her hacking of N and V's memories.

Khan then opened Uzi's door, seemingly confused.

Khan: Hey, Buddy, you invite Doll to this-

Khan was pulled out of the room as Doll used her Solver powers to pull him out and throw the door into Uzi's room.

Uzi looked in shock as Doll manifested in the room with a sinister smile. Doll used her Solved powers to try and take the bug from Uzi as it was important to the plot.

Doll (Russian): You don't even know what that thing does.

Uzi: You wanting it tells me you shouldn't have it!

Doll (Russian): You are so petty.

Uzi: This is the only clue to what's wrong with me.

As Uzi used her Solver to stop Doll from taking the bug, N and V both began to spark as the actual Solver was erasing their memories.

Uzi looked at the two before grunting and giving Doll the bug.

Uzi: Just leave us alone.

The bug hit Dolls visor and Uzi slammed the door closed with the Solver.

Outside Uzi's room, Doll stood with the bug and Khan hanging on the wall.

Doll (Russian): You raised a good daughter, Mr Doorman.

Khan: To spite me maybe.

Doll (Russian): Jeez, alright.

Doll vanished, leaving Khan still hanging on the wall.

Khan: ....can I get down?

Back insides Uzi's room, Uzi was about to hack back into N and V when she called out to MX.

Uzi: MX! Wake up! I need your help.

MX visor lit up with his red eyes as he sat up.

MX looked down towards Uzi, with a questioning stare.

MX: What?

Uzi: Doll's got the Keybug. Can you get it back, please. I need to finish this.

MX jumped off Uzi's bed and walked towards her door.

MX: On it.

MX walked out of the room, noticing Khan still hanging on the wall.

Khan: H-Hey, buddy! A little help.

MX: Don't talk to me.

MX walked out and began tracking Doll with his enhanced sensors.

MX: Can't escape me.

MX sped out of the bunker, chasing after Doll's signal.

~~~~

After following Doll's signal for a bit, MX tracked her down back to Camp 98.7, where Doll was seen standing on the frozen lake with someone in an Astronaut Suit and a repaired J.

MX: Tch, damn. J's back.

MX activated his camouflage and snuck close, so he could hear what the trio were talking about.

Doll (Russian): Here's your key.

Doll tossed the keybug towards the person, who caught the keybug.

Doll (Russian): Take me with you. That's the dea-

Doll was cut off by a gunshot, that Doll deflected with her Solver.

Person: Just checking. Let's go.

The person turned around, only to see Uzi, N and V standing behind them.

MX's Mind: How the hell did they get here so quick?

N stepped forward towards the person.

N: Tessa?

MX's visor reacted "!?" as he remained camouflaged.

MX's Mind: No, no, no, no. This isn't possible. Tessa's dead.....Oh no....Cyn.

MX watched as "Tessa" ran up to N, trying to spin him around.

"Tessa": N, you remember....tall, handsome, airs toxic. Who's this lit-

Uzi bit "Tessa's" finger, as she glared angrily at the human.

Uzi: Uzi! Why're you here, human?

Uzi turned towards J.

Uzi: Real tired of killing this one.

J smirked as she flipped her hair.

J: Effective drones were cloned more.

N/V: It is you/Classic J.

"Tessa": Cyn disappeared on Earth-

J: She ran away.

"Tessa": We mutually disengaged.

MX's Mind: I can't wait to kill you.

"Tessa": Her last known act was siccing you lot on the human exoplanets.

N: Why?

J: That's what we're trying to figure out, Bozo. Speaking of Bozo's where's MX?

"Tessa's" Mind: MX?

Uzi: He should be here? He was tracking Doll-face over there since she took the keybug.

"Tessa" began tossing said Keybug up and down.

"Tessa": This lil ole thing? Seems it's in our hands.

As "Tessa" tossed the keybug in the air, MX quickly disengaged his camouflage and sped past, grabbing the keybug.

MX: Correction; It's in my hands now.

MX stood behind everyone now, holding onto the keybug. Uzi looked over at MX as he had his back turned to everyone.

Uzi: Wha-What're you doing?

MX peaked behind his back, his red eyes reflecting off the frozen lake.

MX: Sorry, Uzi, but my plan doesn't involve any of you.

Doll then teleported next to MX as he tossed her the keybug.

Uzi: You're working with Doll!? How could you!? This isn't what we planned on!?

MX: Unfortunately for you, Uzi, this is exactly what I planned. The final step was you giving me my memories back to I can take full control of this MX unit.

MX turned towards Doll.

MX: Go on ahead. I'll catch up.

Doll nodded before vanishing as MX stood his ground.

N: MX, what's going on? I thought we were a team?

MX: Oh, poor N. You were simply nothing more than an expendable pawn.

Uzi: MX! Listen! You're not thinking straight! If we just get our priorities right, we can sto-

MX: My priorities, Uzi, don't concern you! So, first and final warning. Stay out of my way or I will kill you.

MX turned and began to walk away when a rocket flew past his head. Grunting to himself as he peaked back to see V holding her arm as a rocket launcher was equipped.

V: Do you hear yourself!? This isn't you, MX! This is....this isn't the MX that I fell in love with.

Everyone turned towards V, as blush marks formed on her visor.

N: Aw, that's cute.

J: What!?

MX stared down at the ground as V continued.

V: The MX I knew wouldn't abandoned the ones he called friends and certainly wouldn't betray them!

MX: V.....stand down. Final warning.

V growled in frustration as she fired another rocket towards MX's head.

As the rocket was about to hit MX, it stopped mid air as a red six-sided Solved symbol stopped it.

MX lifted his head as one of his eyes matched the six-sided Solver symbol.

MX: No more chances.

"Tessa's" Mind: Ah, The Ultimate Weapon survived.

Using his own Solver, MX sent the missile back towards V and the others, who all moved out of the missiles path.

V, J and N jumped up, activating their weapons, standing on the defensive.

J: Okay, Boss. Here's your final warning. Stand down-

N: And we can take down Cyn together!

MX glared at the three Disassembly Drones before chuckling to himself.

J: What's so funny?

MX looked at the three.

MX: It's funny that you think I need help to stop Cyn.

MX's body began to emit a low glow as V and N quickly looked nervous as J looked confused.

Neo MX: It's too late

N and V readied their rocket launchers as Neo MX stood back, seemingly waiting for an attack.

J: Okay, what the hell? Since when could he do that?

V and N shrugged as MX lunged forward, kicking N backwards.

V was about to use her sword when Neo MX used his Solver to send V flying backwards. J tried sneak attacking Neo MX, only to be grabbed by the face and slammed into the ground and tossed away.

"Tessa" ran towards Neo MX, sword drawn. She attempted to strike him only for Neo MX to use the Solver and send the sword out of "Tessa's" hand and grabbed her by the throat.

Neo MX: I am going to enjoy this.

Neo MX began to squeeze the throat of "Tessa" as he glared into her helmets visor, when he suddenly noticed a green glow behind "Tessa".

Neo MX peaked around "Tessa" to see Uzi holding her railgun as it was powered up.

Uzi: Dodge this.

Uzi pulled the trigger as a beam of green energy shot out of the rail gun and blasted towards Neo MX.

Neo MX tossed "Tessa" to the side and attempted to block the oncoming attack.

The beam of energy connected with Neo MX, creating a cloud of smoke, dust and radioactive snow. 

Uzi stared at the cloud as her railgun needed a recharge. Uzi smirked, thinking she took out Neo MX when she saw a glow from the cloud.

Uzi dropped her rail gun, in complete shock, as the cloud dissipated to reveal Neo MX unharmed and holding a ball of the rail gun energy.

Neo MX: Is that all you've got?

Neo MX held his palm out towards Uzi, using the ball of energy as his own attack.

Sending Uzi back the energy from the railgun in a powerful blast, Uzi just barely dodged the attack as she leaped out of the way.

Uzi dodged but the blast radius of the energy was enough to send Uzi crashing into the ground.

Neo MX looked around and saw everyone laying on the ground, slowly moving as he returned back to his MX form.

MX: Hmph. Next time, stay out of my way.

MX activated his propulsion system about to regroup with Doll.

MX peaked back as V was slowly standing up. V stared at MX as he looked back, his visor flashing "im srry" before speeding off into the distance.
