Inevitably, we were going to be discovered by the robots.
But at least this time we'd come prepared.
The silver armour glinted in the hot summer sun.
Dianne loaded her machine gun.
I loaded my laser guns and sharpened my blades, both of which had been helpfully folded up and stored somewhere in my body up until now.
Jack was up on the cliff above us, ready to spring into action.
We were all ready to take down these guys.
The silver armour glinted on the horizon. I could feel Dianne next to me tense with excitement.
So was I.
I was going to get back at these people for ruining my life.
And that payback started now.
We started to shoot.
The battle had begun.
We'd barely given the robots any time to attack, and that put us instantly into the lead.
Jack began to shoot his snowballs.
The accuracy of his aim was extremely surprising.
He may have been incredibly shy, but honestly, he was a massive help.
I felt a rush of cold air hit the robot to my left. The ice had stopped barely inches from my feet.
I looked up at Jack and smiled.
He smiled back.
I don't know quite how long it had been before I noticed the snowball rain had stopped.
I pushed down yet another robot to the ground, and stared up at the cuff where Jack had been standing - but he wasn't there.
A myriad of possibilities flashed into my head, all at once.
Had Jack been captured?
Had he run out of power?594Please respect copyright.PENANALTfNZ0XGgq
Had he simply simply collapsed from exhaustion?
I heard a muffled scream.
I turned around at once, thinking it was Jack; but it wasn't.
It was Dianne, held down by at least 5 massive robot henchmen.594Please respect copyright.PENANAHhkK9g6WCA
I'd always thought she was capable enough to take care of herself, but on this occasion I didn't blame her.
This robot army was just too strong.594Please respect copyright.PENANAtF6PIHF4P1
I got grabbed by the arms and wrestled to the ground by another couple of robot henchmen.
Then more entered the area, carrying a limp body.
Jack.
Then it struck me.
We had been defeated.
I blacked out.
