[QUOTE="Ice the frosty cat, post: 32898, member: 115"] Chapter 3 The two guard robots were advancing on him. If he didn’t act soon he’d be killed by them. He looked behind him. His only exit was blocked by a metal blast door. He wasn’t going down without a fight! “Unable to identify intruder! Proceeding to capture and terminate!†Not if he could help it. Ice reared back and jumped up, then ran down the shadowy corridor, avoiding the nets the shining robots were firing at him. “Capture failed; proceeding to destroy!†Ice stopped right in front of them as he heard this. The guard raised its arm and a deadly plasma ball quickly began charging on the tip of the gun. Giving it a little think over, Ice decided to use this to his advantage. He dodged behind the other robot, swivelling the aim of plasma ball. “Energy charge complete! Firing!†It said robotically as the plasma left the tip of the gun. “Cease fire!†the other one said. But too late. To avoid the blast, Ice leapt through the center of the two robots. The blast hit the robot’s comrade, completely incinerating both robots and the wall they were standing in front of. Ice rubbed a hand over his forehead, wiping the sweat away. “That was really close…†he said, stepping over the piles of ash. He walked into the room ahead. It was pretty dark. He seemed to be on a platform of some kind. The rest of the room seemed to be dedicated to a factory. Ice walked to the rails and looked down. There were conveyor belts pulling chassis’s across with robotic arms welding pieces on. Above him he could hear grinding. Looking up showed a circular saw cutting pieces of metal, evidently for the robots. Behind him was another platform, higher up, which held three completed versions of the robots being built. One was slightly bigger than the others. There didn’t seem to be any other place he could get to. He’d have to fly to get to the other platforms, which probably led to other room. Ice turned around to leave and walked towards the door. “Damn!†he said, turning the handle. The door seemed to be locked. Before he could think up another plan, there was a huge clank behind him as something crashed onto the platform. He whipped around and came face to face with one of the completed robots. But the way it moved suggested it was being controlled manually. “Who on earth are you?†Ice recklessly shouted. It remained silent for a few seconds, and then a musty voice sounded through the glass cockpit. “I thought I recognised you! So…Ice…we finally meet!
