End of Day 6

EightEight

She was seeing the integrity of her Battle Skin dwindling. 'No. No no.' She was frantically using every arm [including her Eight tiny ones] to try to get her repair tool to work.

[CRITICAL DAMAGE]
[REPAIR MODULE REMOVED]
[UNABLE TO REPAIR DAMAGE]
[MANUAL REPAIRS REQUIRED]

She was desperately trying to cannibalize parts of her suit to repair.

*CRACK!*

She felt the heat of Tetramand seep in. She could see unfiltered light! Nooo! Her eyes having filters implanted that ignore blue light but the light stung her skin because she knew what would happen after.

She punched in a code through her brain link and the seal popped on her chest of her beta decay reactor. She'd have to pull the core and pray her black box survives for her brothers to retrieve.

She looked at the glowing green eyes. Slowly forming just in time for her eyes to pickup it being there and her countdown window to pull the core and let it go critical was closed.

[UNKNOWN ENEMY]
[NO INFORMATION FOUND]

She suddenly felt arms around her from behind as the creature seem to teleport in the mist. It's hands stopping her as her countdown reached zero and locked down.

"You're only still alive because Unlike you I swore to protect the universe." The whispy voice said "including you."

A green glow around her face as it seemed ribbons of light wove through her broken helmet, pulling the fragments together and building an entirely new one.

[New Device Found]
[Synchronizing...]
[Integration in progress...]

She felt her skin spilt open as the helmet of the man who unmashed both her brothers had started disintegrating her original helmet and building a new one.

She could see only him as his hands guarded the exposed parts of her face.

[NEW HELMET CONSTRUCTED]
