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 The other has been replaced by a spinning micro-drill.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.”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxiDpW3pJs
[Without a word, the three bots fan out. The parasite-thing charges.]
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4JYkRtlEn
[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—!”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OahqnLnW0
[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.”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCWyaKgqpj
[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—]
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCX0qNCYkja
[—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.”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtj3XWhfPq
[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.]
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrXUrlftKn
[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!”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkZIZW9vyR
[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.”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQ2bMlQnKk
[BOOM.]
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSHlrkjoe9
[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.]
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqrtQ3zx80
[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.”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuwMbZWysa
SD-K
(quietly)
“…What the hell was that?”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbw69HknARw
[SD-A crouches near the remains, poking at the still-twitching tendrils.]
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDJ5dIchS3
SD-A
“It wasn’t alone.”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa59MiuB7xp
[Jason groans loudly.]
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGZGkpwEKO
JASON
“Cool. Wonderful. So we’re getting invaded by spaghetti cables with abandonment issues.”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQSIWTVE87
[The three share a long look. Whatever they just fought—it’s not the last.]

FADE OUT.
