“Ya can’t bring folks back from the dead.” Barrett said. “It was stupid ter try, n’ now we’ve lost our only way out of ‘ere… fer f*ck sake.” He complained, gesturing down at Owl.

Jack hid behind Tabitha. He didn’t show her the crystal, which he put in his pocket.

[KilljoyConstruct]

Florence didn’t hesitate. She lunged for Waffle’s pistol, aiming to snatch it away from him.

@Legendofgenii

Tabitha activated her wings, just to be safe. “Jack,” she said. “You do not leave my side. Okay?”

@Pi-Eta

Yael ran over to inspect Owl, trying to triage him.

[alliascompany]

Waffle flinched and dropped the pistol.

[Pi-Eta]

There was no bleeding or any kind of normal injury aside from the burned arm, which seemed to still be moving slightly despite the missing flesh. As for what she could do about slow disintegration...that would be up to whether she knew what was causing it.

[Legendofgenii]

Jack jumped as Tabitha’s wings activated, but he stayed put and nodded. “No leave.”

Cal hurried forward and booted Waffle’s pistol to the edge of the room somewhere.

[KilljoyConstruct]

Yael unfortunately was not able to tell what was causing Owl to disintegrate. She whimpered, taking the sash off her belt and looking around for something to wet it with. It didn’t look like there was anything of the sort nearby, though.

@alliascompany @Legendofgenii

Florence’s head snapped in Cal’s direction, and in one second she had the siren’s throat in her grip, holding him there for a moment before throwing him to the ground.

Jericho moved protectively in front of Shepherd and Malachi, his hands igniting involuntarily.

[alliascompany]

"CAL!" Flor screamed. She shifted into a gorilla and tackled Florence.

Williams stood in front of Owl and Yael, his eyes on Florence.

[Legendofgenii]

“Aim fer the head!” Barrett yelled to the raging gorilla, brandishing his blade as he stomped over to join the fight.

Shepherd wasn’t sure what to do. He didn’t want Florence to get hurt, but she didn’t appear to have any issue harming the group.

He looked to Malachi. “Could you hold her with your vines?” The elf wondered.

[KilljoyConstruct]

Florence staggered as Gorilla Flor tackled her, trying to brace her weight against the girl’s large animal form. When she was able to keep herself from falling over, the robot tried to grab Flor in a headlock, wrapping her arm around the gorilla’s neck and squeezing.

@Legendofgenii

Malachi gave Shepherd a slight nod. The ground cracked beneath them, thorny vines starting to sprout between them, heading towards Florence.

One of the vines grabbed her by the ankle. Startled, she loosened her grip on Flor.

[alliascompany]

Flor steuggled to get free. When Florence loosened her grip, she shifted into a mouse and scurried away.

[Legendofgenii]

Seeing Flor in trouble, spurred Callan into getting back up.

“It’s working!” Shepherd said as Malachi’s vines took a hold of Florence’s leg.

“That’s it - ‘old ‘er still.” Barrett said as he took a swing at the renegade robot.

[KilljoyConstruct]

@Legendofgenii

Barrett’s sword cut into Florence’s torso, albeit with some difficulty due to her being made of metal instead of flesh.

“Florence” didn’t scream, but she did let out a low, rumbling growl, taking a wild swing at Barrett’s head. She couldn’t move her feet anymore, but her arms were still free.

[Legendofgenii]

Barrett went down as he was struck, ending up on his knees. His longsword was left protruding from Florence’s torso.

“F-Flor?” Callan hoarsely called out as he looked for her.

[alliascompany]

@Aeroyeen

Mouse Flor ran up to Callan, tugging at his pant leg.

"Wait! Don't hurt her!" Said Waffle. He winced when Barret was struck.

Williams gripped his blade's handle.
"Forgive me."

The edges of his sword lit up a brilliant blue as it powered up. Williams charged forward and swung at Florence's arms.

[KilljoyConstruct]

@alliascompany @Pi-Eta

Florence was about to swing at Barrett again, aiming for his temple.

But she never got the chance to.

Williams’ sword sliced through her arm, cutting it clean off before she could make contact with the siren. She hissed, struggling to face Williams as the vines’ grip on her tightened. Well… “It” hissed, was more like it. Whatever was attacking them, it wasn’t the nurse from back in London.

Florence was gone. She had been from the moment she’d shut off in the Reborn factory.

Perhaps Melvin had finally come to terms with that. It would explain how he was able to bring himself to swing a long, sharp tool he’d found at the creature impersonating his sister’s head, first denting her cranium, and then piercing it with the sharp end.

He drove the tool through the monster’s metal skull, right in the spot Florence had been shot in; and right where the memory disc was.

“Florence” stiffened, its darkened eyes bulging as its head was impaled. The creature didn’t move for a long moment, standing completely still as it worked out what had happened to it.

But after a few agonizingly long seconds, the undead robot collapsed, dead for good this time.

Melvin stood behind his sister’s body, trembling as his eyes flicked back to blue from red.

[alliascompany]

Waffle placed a hand on Melvin's shoulder.
"It's okay. She's at peace now, " he said.

[KilljoyConstruct]

Melvin shrugged Waffle’s hand off, backing up a few steps. His eyes, wide with horror, were fixed on Florence’s mutilated body. He looked like he wanted to say something, his mouth opening and closing with each failed word, ultimately coming up with nothing but silence.

There was a small cracking sound, followed by a quiet hiss. If anyone paid close enough attention, they would be able to see that something in the inner working’s of Melvin’s face had burst; probably a lubricant capillary near the eye or something of the sort.

It likely had nothing to do with what had just happened, but it gave the appearance that he was crying.

[Pi-Eta]

Owl gasped awake, wheezing as he reached towards Waffle. "My coin! Give me my coin!"

[alliascompany]

@Pi-Eta
"I'm sorry..." said Waffle. He whipped around at Owl. Digging the coin out of his pocket, Waffle ran over to hand it back.

[Pi-Eta]

As soon as he touched the coin, colour returned to his face and his breathing relaxed. He held it close to himself as he got up, the charred arm hanging uselessly by his side. "What the hell was that?"
