When Wrath is Unleashed 

  "Commander Shallow, why are you doing this?" My father sighs in stress. 

    "She shall be one of the rookies to help us against Wyan Quidust and his control of a tyrant." Mr. Shallow replies. 

    "She just turned 16 this week!" My father raises his tone; he's about to launch into an argument. 

    "I thought she was eighteen." Mr. Shallow explains. "And thought she was cynoid prior."

    "Don't judge by her looks, Commander." My dad scolded. "She's below the age minimum and she was recently burnt from a girl named Aral Phise couple days ago. Why do you want to use my daughter because of her strength she possesses from her code?" 

       "I am not going to endanger her with wars especially with Earadon; I don't want to lose her, Commander." Dad said in a condescending tone. 

    "I understand Erzo; however, would you want to lose numerous amount of civilians on Earadon due to a tyrant that oppressed people with lies? He can conquer any planets with his army of brutes!" Mr. Shallow raises his tone. 

    "We can not hurt them; the civilians nor his soldiers!" I budded in. They all glanced at me. 

    "Collette, stay out of this." Dad patronizes. 

    "No dad!" I refused. "Civilians need help to escape. His soldiers are hijacked by Wyan.  Families of cynoids, droids, and robots will be mourning over their lost member. What will happen if we live on Earadon, dad?" I asked. My dad never answered; he only glared at me with frustration. "And you were hijacked and become one his brutal men. Mom and I will long for your return. If no one came to the rescue and help us, the planet will be in a mad choir and then soon other planets will join. Let me help these people dad; not to kill Wyan. He can't harm anyone if we take his weapon away from him." 

    "And how are you are going to change those Earadon machines out of berserk mode?" My dad retorts. I opened my mouth; however, no words had left. "That's what I thought." He glanced towards Mr. Shallow once more. "She is going home." 

    Then a violent wave of tremor shook the floor causing all three of us to land on our side. "Danger: We are under attack!" An alert was sounded along with red flashing lights that blared throughout the dimmed simulator room.

    "Do you still know how to fight, Digit?" Mr. Shallow asks my father. 

    "Yes!" My dad nodded then he ordered me to stay here in the simulator. I nodded as they concurrently left. I sat on the floor. It was a long moment of only listening to the alert and the flashing lights. I was kind starting to zone out when I heard heavy footsteps coming from the outside. I winced up at the door then it flew open.

    It was a girl with glowing red eyes and holding an advanced shotgun. She was wearing dark metal armour that was similar to the cynoid in the simulator that I'd battled with; however, this was a droid. 

    She aimed the shotgun at me then bam! My reflexes kicked in and I jumped to the side. The laser bullet only skimmed me. Well, better than being dead. I charged at her then attempted to confiscate her shotgun. I'd managed to grab out; on the contrary, she was holding it also. We are now in the tug of war. I quickly pushed the gun and tried to aim it at her. 

    I kicked her in the knee and I saw her machine legged snapped like twigs. She didn't forsake until I kicked her other knee and broke it.  I snatched the shotgun from her while she was on the ground. I should've shot her dead. It was my decision not to harm her; thus, I tossed it away from us. 

    She sat up and used her arms to strangle me. My hands blocked it before she fully get a grip on my neck. She let out a fierceful growl. I push her hands far away from me. I used my body weight to restain her from attacking me. 

    A pale girl with long black straight hair and piercing purple eyes entered the simulator and she pulled out her gun and shot the hijacked droid. The droid stopped moving and saw the glowing red eyes fade dark. 

    "Woah sheesh! You should've just take the enemy down and not restrain her." Said the girl. "How did you rip her apart with your bare hands?" She asked. 

    "Long story." I answered. 

    She helped me up and we ran out of the simulator.  The corridor was desolated like a ghost town. "Follow me!" She commanded while beginning to run. I run along with her. 

    "I am trying to look for my dad!" I told her. 

   "Who is your father?" She asked. 

    "Erzo Digit. He's a retired soldier because he was having a family." I explained.

   We had turned down into another corridor to see two hijacked machines battling with two Stormalite soldiers. 

    "Take them out!" The girl ordered. We all charged at the two hijacked machines. I launched and tackled the machine that appeared to be a robot from lack of emotions. My body slam had shut him down as he land against the ground. His metal skin was dented and I had crushed his innards. I stood up and watched the droid finished up with another one with her weapon. The soldier that I helped took down the machine looked at me weirdly. 

    Then another violent tremor shook the ground. I managed to remain my balance this time.  The girl ran up to me and we continued running through the rest of the corridor then turned right. 

    "Don't you know where he'd went?" She asked me. 

    "I don't know." I replied. Then let out a screamed: "Dad?!" 

   "Collette!" We heard a response not too far out. 

    "It sound near the docks on the other side of the facility!" She informed me. 

    We'd kept running until we saw a three way hallway; corridors going left, right, and straight. The girl guide me into the straight one. We saw three hijacked machines. Two cynoids and one robot that all had glowing red eyes. 

      The girl that was helping me to find my father had aimed her gun and quickly took out the two cynoids with a headshot. I can tell she was a robot with her pale skin and her unemotional expressions. The hijacked robot was took out by me. I clocked the robot right in the head and it's head came off.  I didn't bother looking at it; it's just metal and some ripped wires. 

     There was a secured door and the robotic girl managed opened it by saying her name: "Astral Leenoid!" When we got to the docks, I saw my dad lying unconscious within Earadon's shuttle with other soldiers who were chained up. The last Earadon hijacked machine that was entering the shuttle turned around and saw both of us. 

    "Give me back my dad!" I shrieked at the top my lungs full of wrath. I grabbed the hijacked machine that was cynoid and threw him to the other side of the dock. The cynoid attempted to get up; however, my speed didn't even let him. I was already there and I picked him up again then threw him to another side of the dock. I was chucking him like a rag doll. Then I heard the shuttle doors slammed shut and prepared to launch. I'd sprint towards it only for it to be too late. It quickly launched and headed away from the docks. 

    That's when the dam broke. "Nooooooooooo!" I cried out loud and started tearing up.
