EXT. ABANDONED INDUSTRIAL ZONE – NIGHT – CONTINUOUS

[The thrum grows louder. Jason, SD-A, and SD-K turn toward a crumbling corridor just past the plaza. Something shuffles behind it—slow, heavy… and wet. The air smells like scorched oil and metal decay.]

[Then it lurches into the light. A former Labor bot, bloated and misshapen, metal ribs cracked outward as a mass of organic metal tendrils twitch from its spine like an open bloom. One eye glows red-hot. The other has been replaced by a spinning micro-drill. It groans—a low, warped mechanical wheeze.]

JASON
(grimacing)
“Oh hell no. That’s not in the user manual.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXXcBXZOVw
[Without a word, the three bots fan out. The parasite-thing charges.]
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUhMixl5P1
[SD-K’s arms shift into twin shock gauntlets—he slams into the thing’s side with a concussive burst, knocking it into a wall. Chunks of rotted armor fly off, but the tendrils lash out, coiling around K’s leg.]

SD-K
(gritting his teeth)
“Get—this—thing—OFF—!”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKGKhI44QY
[Jason steps forward, his right arm shifting mid-swing—railcannon retracting, forming a serrated plasma axe in a blink. He leaps in with unexpected speed, slicing through the tendrils in a clean arc.]

JASON
“See? That’s why I keep it multifunctional.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ309Cd0Nqv2
[The parasite shrieks and mutates—its chest folds open to reveal a mounted energy drill that hums to life. It fires a bolt of red plasma at A—]

[—but A’s already in motion. He flips over debris with impossible grace, arms extending into his signature blades. He dives in from above, driving a blade deep into the monster’s neck.]

SD-A
“This isn’t possession. It’s integration. It wants to be like this.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxAXO6iNVz
[The bot thrashes, knocking all three back. Jason skids across the pavement and slams into a pillar, momentarily stunned. The parasite charges A and K again, wildly swinging.]
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngVnsphiH2
[K ducks and body-checks the beast, letting A leap off his back mid-motion like a springboard. A spirals in the air, blades glowing—]

SD-A
“Now!”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwE8s1zgQkA
[Jason’s cannon locks in from the distance. With the other two bots drawing its attention, he has a clear shot.]

JASON
“Smile, you ugly socket-sniffer.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRrscsOmp9
[BOOM.]
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4f7QUUO0gu
[The railcannon fires, a piercing arc of light slicing through the parasite’s core. The corrupted bot freezes—then twitches, crumbles, and explodes in a controlled burst of oil, smoke, and metal shrapnel.]
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmX77q5ggPO
[The plaza falls silent again. All three bots stand in a triangle around the mess, covered in streaks of oil and dirt.]

JASON
(panting slightly)
“Okay. I might need a recharge.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEM7e96Rvj
SD-K
(quietly)
“…What the hell was that?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iMfF2kr65
[SD-A crouches near the remains, poking at the still-twitching tendrils.]
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9Gt50jXxN
SD-A
“It wasn’t alone.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlev3hwukW0
[Jason groans loudly.]
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sFkREqguN
JASON
“Cool. Wonderful. So we’re getting invaded by spaghetti cables with abandonment issues.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraw6ahydU2
[The three share a long look. Whatever they just fought—it’s not the last.]

FADE OUT.
