Kidnapped

2B's POV

"2B where's Creed?" asked Anemone

I just shrugged and I saw Jackass enter the camp but I ignored her.

"Jackass have you seen Creed?" asked Anemone

"He should be behind me. He'll be here in 6 minutes." replied Jackass

She leaves to go somewhere else in the camp while I just wait near the entrance for Creed to come. 10 minutes passed by, he doesn't show up.

"Jackass are you sure he was behind you?" asked Anemone

"Yea." replied Jackass

"2B, A2, 9S and Avery go check up on Creed." said Anemone

I didn't want to look for him but I just tagged along.

"Didn't Creed go on a scouting mission with Jackass?" 9S asked

I just nodded in response and walked out of the camp.

"2B what happened between you and Creed?" asked Avery

"Nothing." I replied

'Why are they so interested?'

"Did Creed do something stupid?" asked Avery

"Creed isn't stupid, he's a good man." said 9S

'That's what I thought too.'

"2B even though Creed did something stupid you have to understand he's not good with handling new people." said Avery

I just ignored them and walked faster ahead of the group. I headed towards the desert but then I stumbled on something. I looked down and there was a bunch of debris and machine parts mostly from a Goliath Biped.

"Machines? What are they doing here?" asked 9S

I was also confused, there was no sign of machines in the past 2 weeks. I walked around but then on the ground I saw something I wish I didn't see. On the ground was Creed's sword, and next to it was a sprinkle of blood. I picked up the sword and desperately looked around for Creed.

"That's Creed's sword." said 9S

"What's it doing here..." said Avery

"The machines got him." said A2

I desperately looked around hoping to see Creed somewhere but nothing.

'No, this can't be happening.'

"Creed!" I yelled

"2B look at this." said 9S

He picks up some bullet shells and an empty mag. My eyes nearly burst into tears but I held it in.

"Looks like he had a brawl." said A2

"We need to find him." I desperately said

"We have no clue where he is, he could be far away." said Avery

"I don't care, I'll find him no matter what." I replied

"2B let's report to Anemone first so she could have other android scouts out there looking for him." said 9S

"Fine you can contact her but I'm going after him." I replied

"I'll go with 2B." said 9S

"We'll be right behind you." said A2

9S and I ran off towards a direction where there were blood marks on the floor, small drips on the ground. I followed that direction until the trail of blood disappeared.

"Wait 2B, how do we know if this is his blood?" asked 9S

"Pod scan the blood." I ordered my Pod

Pod 042 scanned the blood and took a second before answering.

"Analyzing, the blood belongs to a human being." said my Pod

I let out a sharp gasp and looked at Creed's sword in my hand.

'I'll save you, I swear.'

I place the sword behind me and the yellow ring olds it in place. We continued running in the direction of the blood even though there was no blood. We leave the territory we always travel and we end up in a deep forest. She continued to run in the middle of nowhere but stopped. I summoned a heart beat sensor but there was nothing, not even 3 miles away.

'Are we going the right way?'

"2B look!" called out 9S

He picks up a piece of cloth that I recognized right away. It was Creed's neck scarf he always wears. I took it from him and hug it tightly around me, tears start flowing out my eyes and I couldn't hold them.

"2B..." whispered 9S

"Let's go." I whispered back

My Pod takes the scarf and puts it in his infinite storage and we continue to run. We ran for miles until we got to the edge of the world. We were standing on a cliff and I saw a huge factory that looked like a machine manufacturing place.

"Pod scan." I said

"Scanning, heartbeat detected. Creed is inside but is not moving." said my Pod

"I'm going in." I said

"No 2B we have to wait for reinforcements." 9S stopped

"No if we wait Creed's going to die." said 2B

"2B we can't lose you." said 9S, "No I can't lose you, not again."

I looked at 9S as he pleaded with his innocent face.

'Dammit, I'm so sorry Creed but please hang in there.'

I nodded and we ran back to our territory.

Creed's POV

I slowly opened my eyes, my vision becoming clear and focused. I looked around and I was in a jail cell with machines everywhere guarding me.

'Why aren't they killing me?'

I looked around and I noticed that I wasn't in some jail system, I was in the main control room of this place. Machines were moving around with what looked like a big computer.

I groaned in pain and tried getting up but I realized I was hanging on my hands which were tied onto the ceiling. I looked down and I saw my gun still strapped around my body.

'How did I get in this position?'

I tried lifting up my leg but a machine electrocutes me and I scream in pain. He pulls away and I hang there helpless.

"Androids will come." said a machine

'These machines can talk?'

"Virus ready." said another machine

'Virus, what virus?'

I squirmed around in my chains but I get electrocuted again so I stop in pain.

'No they can't come save me, it's a fucking trap.'

2B's POV

"What are we waiting for?!" I snapped

"We're waiting for confirmation." replied Jackass

"Aren't you worried about him?" I snapped

"Seriously you're asking me if I'm worried? You found out where he is and instead of going in you came running back." snapped Jackass

"Hey guys calm down, we just need to patiently wait for now." interrupted 9S

I sigh in anger and just look at A2, Avery and Boris.

"Okay everyone listen up, our objective is Creed nothing else. We go in and out with Creed, nothing unnecessary. We need to keep our casualty numbers low, Creed modified these guns for us, use them so that we can preserve the amount of casualties." said Anemone

Everyone nods and checks on their gear.

"Operators, is everything in check?" asked Anemone

"All ready here." replied Operator 21O.

"Okay everyone move out!" yelled Anemone

I take the lead and sprint my way back towards the factory. It takes us all about 10 minutes to get there and when we do, must of us are tired.

"Everyone stay put, take a 5 minute break." said Anemone

Everyone takes a seat and rests while Anemone walks up to me.

"2B there's no way we can get back up here. So find another way down there." said Anemone

"Already found one." said Avery

She's looking into binoculars and points at a hill that wasn't steep, easy to climb.

"Okay, we'll move that way." said A2

"Pod scan the factory, give me a count of machines and Creed's position and status." said 9S

"Scanning, 110 machines spread throughout the factory. Creed is located in the control room and he's alive but in pain. Receiving shocks throughout his body every minute." replied Pod 153

"Then what are we waiting for, let's save him and bring him back in one piece." I said
