Aragon heard the others. He sat there and eventually fell asleep.

"Oh damn. How did I miss that? Hold on a sec." She walked forward and grabbed the metal. "This will hurt. Hold still." She yanked the piece of metal off his nose. "I'm sorry." She grabbed a cloth and wiped the blood off his nose. "I'll come with you."

Gandal reached up to feel where she had pulled out the metal, he didn't feel blood. He felt... Chords... More metal. He gulped as his hands started to shale by his side.

Aragon woke with a start. He went out to Gandal. He looked at his nose. Something was wrong. "Gandal. What happened?" he asked him.

"What's wrong? You're shaking." She held Gandal's hand in an attempt to stop it from shaking. She felt saddened by Gandal's sudden reaction.

He ignored Aragon and Kai as he rushed over to a mirror to see what had happened to his face. He was turning into one of the robots.

((Infection...nice... I guess...))

((Yes, it is, isn't it?))

'Help me...' His voice was low and robotoc . he gripped his throat, sobbing as he collapsed.

Aragon ran into the room. "What the hell?" he asked. "Gandal what's happening?" he asked.

He was too afraid to talk. Too afraid to look back at the mirror. He took out his gun and shot the mirror before dropping the weapon.

Kai's eyes widened. She had never seen anything like this. "Aragon. Get me my laptop. Now!" She ran over to Gandal. "I'm going to help you. I promise."

"Gandal" Aragon exclaimed. He picked him up off the ground, and threw him onto a bed. "Kai!" he yelled.

"Get me my laptop god dammit! I can't help him without it. This is a computer virus. I hack computer systems!" She held Gandal's hand. "I'm not letting them take another person away from me."

Gandal still couldn't move. He didn't want to.

Kai looked at him sadly. "I can't believe I missed all of this." She sighed and looked into his eyes. "Any time would be nice Aragon! We don't have all day!"

Aragon came running into the room with the laptop. "Patience would be nice" he said calmly.

"Right now I don't have any." She opened the laptop and turned it on. "Come on. I don't have time for this." The laptop finally loaded and she began to hack the system that was eating away at Gandal. "Please let this work."

Gandal had to look away, the robotics on his face was expanding, covering half of his head. His hands wouldn't stop shaking and his head was coated with sweat.

Kai looked up to Gandal. She quickly grabbed a bowl of cool water and a cloth and wiped the sweat away. As she did she held Gandal's hand. "It's going to be okay. I'm going to stop this."

'You can't.' He sighed, 'You have to leave me. Once I have robotics in me... You can't take it away.' Gandal gripped her hand, his eyes soft and pleading, 'Leave me here. Once I am full... I don't want to hurt you.'

Kai felt tears sting at her eyes. "I'm not leaving. And you can't make me." She leaned down and kissed his forehead. "I'm going to continue. Will you be alright?"

'YOU HAVE TO LEAVE!' His voice had a whir which came to it now. 'Please!' He said, his voice not as loud this time. The metal and wires were growing, just about covering his whole face.

"No Gandal! I won't leave. I made a promise. I'm not breaking it!" She madly typed away at her laptop to try and stop the virus from spreading.

The robotics had now fully covered his face. 'Please.' His voice traded in the distance as his eyes flashed red.

"Leave" he told Kai. "I'll make sure he doesnt hurt anyone. Remember, I still have the supersoldier suit on" he said, holding up his laser arm. "Now go. I'll make sure he doesnt hurt anyone" he repeated.
