Vampire Summoner's Rebirth: Summoning The Vampire Queen At The Start Chapter 1184 The Story Behind 2

-----

B-9 saw A-0 struggling to survive, gigantic tentacles constantly attacking their entire group from every angle. Their equipped weapons were strong, and they managed to pierce through the foe's defenses, but they still were overwheld.

"GRUOOOHHHH!"

The Titan-class Mutants we fought on the way here were a true nightmare against these Androids, and they appeared one after another. It seed that humanity no longer had any power over the oceans, nor dominance.

These monsters, the Mutants, had overtaken the seas, and they weren't going to give them up to anybody. B-9 reached A-0, whose ch had been damaged and made her fall into the seas.

"A-0!!!"

"B-9?!"

She gasped as she saw him rushing down to rescue her, evading countless tentacles that ca after him one after another, extending his hand towards her.

"You ca for ?"

"Why wouldn't I?!"

Their hands touched, as he tightly grasped her hand, and then dragged her up, freeing her from her destroyed ch which fell, exploding into the frozen seas upon impact.

BOOOM!

"We have to get out of here!" B-9 said.

"B-But everyone else is dying!" A-0 said. "We have to help, to do sothing!"

"We can't, A-0! We're hopeless… this is beyond us! I told you that they were sending us to die! We're expendables to them, humanity… we're nothing to them other than junk they throw at their foes in hopes that sothing does sothing! T-This doesn't work like this!" B-9 scread, carrying A-0 with his arms. "We're getting out of here!"

"B-But…! Everyone!" A-0 cried, as she saw countless androids exploding and being slaughtered.

However, many more managed to escape, those smart enough to realize the hopelessness of this situation, dozens of them rushed away, escaping from the monsters' attacks.

Eventually, the movie cut to them landing near the artificial island, on an extension of it. They were scared and confused at first, many of them were very wounded and dying. But there were… many as well, they managed to save at least over fifty of them, when they were hundreds.

"It seems many survived at the end…" B-9 sighed, watching the camps of the survivors. "But we need parts to repair everyone."

"But even after we repair them, where… where do we go? What do we do?" A-0 wondered. "We've deserted from battle… Now the Headquarters are going to treat us as criminals if we go back. They might… destroy us."

"T-Then we're not going back, as simple as that!" said B-9. "A-0… I… Let's start a new life here, away from humanity."

"B-But…" muttered A-0. "That would go against everything we've been made for… Why do you think of such things so much, B-9? Things I could never imagine myself…"

"I… don't know," said B-9. "It's weird, isn't it? But I always get these bursts of thoughts, of emotions… Maybe of things I shouldn't be doing or thinking."

"…" His friend glanced at him with surprise. "Well, maybe it's good that you're different…"

"Huh?"

"Because… it was thanks to you that I survived."

"Ah… Yeah."

The two did their best to help the androids survive. They didn't need much of anything either other than sunlight every now and then. Their only goal was to exist and slowly find ways to leave the island altogether.

For a brief mont, perhaps a couple of months, things seed fine, they were slowly exploring the huge island, getting to know it, its dangerous areas, and more.

Eventually, they moved deeper underground, until one day, A-0 found sothing.

It was a hole underground, in an area that had been fully drowned with sea water. It was cold, but not frozen.

"So this is the place you wanted to show , A-0?" wondered B-9. "Oh wow, are those corals? This is the first ti I see them!"

"Yes, they're very colorful and pretty, aren't they?" wondered A-0. "They look like colorful stones, but they're actually alive, did you know?"

"I knew that, yeah," nodded B-9. "Still surprising they were able to grow in this underground pond of seawater. It does get a bit of sea water every day. But why did they decide to grow in here?"

"Maybe there are nutrients we had no idea of?" A-0 wondered. "I think we should explore more, we could find useful things to help everyone survive and repair those that are still with large wounds."

"Sure, let's do that… How about we start there?" B-9 asked.

"But it's cold and with sea water there…" muttered A-0."

"What, are you scared of so cold water?" laughed B-9. "In the records I've researched, humans used to co to the beach to enjoy a relaxing sumr with their friends and family. Bathing in sea water was one of their preferred activities."

"T-They bathed in sea water? But it isn't very clean!" said A-0. "Why?"

"Because… well, they considered it fun," B-9 smiled lightly. "Co on, let's take out our shoes."

The two took out their shoes, walking through the cold water, and even subrging down, seeing the beautiful corals, fishes, and sea snails in the huge sea water pond.

"So beautiful!"

"Yeah!"

As they swam, they reached the other end of the pond. There was a huge hole only visible underwater, covered by a strange red coral.

"Hmm, what's in here?" A-0 wondered, swimming inside.

"Ah, wait, B-9! I detect… there's sothing there, a large quantity of radiation!" B-9 rushed towards her, swimming fast to grab her.

Even if small, if there was sothing dangerous there, he couldn't risk her life!

He followed her and entered the hole, quickly rushing to the surface.

SPLASH!

He crawled out of the water, walking over the cold, stone floor, looking around.

"A-0! Where are you, A-0!"

He called for her, realizing there was a huge corridor in front of him, where he noticed her footsteps.

"Where did she go?"

He started walking through the corridor, seeking her, while remaining silent.

Until he reached the end of the corridor, and then to the left, he found her…

He could see her back, staring at sothing, a huge silhouette at the end of the room, almost invisible due to the lack of light.

"A… A-0?" he asked.

"B-9… Help… … I can't…" her voice muttered.

"Eh?!"

"I can't move…!"

As he activated night vision, he gasped, as he noticed sothing.

A monstrous being made of flesh and tal, with huge, crimson eyes.

"A Mutant?!"

"A-0!!!"
