"Yaz!? We gotta go!" She doesn't move at all, but he can see that she's crying.

Y/N turns her around by the shoulders, "Come on."

He keeps running and it's almost like he's dragging her for a moment before she snaps out of her daze and begins running too.

The two of them don't stop until they make it to the others who are waiting by the non-contaminated food.

Y/N leans up against a tree, trying to catch his breath.

"Everyone good?" Darius does a quick visual scan of his friends to make sure everyone is there.

"Great." Y/N huffs sarcastically.

Mae's tablet beeps and her face lights up, "It worked!"

"The plane will be here in three hours with new food and replacement parts! You lot are almost home."

The kids celebrate with cheers and high fives.

"Take that, Mantah Corp!" Sammy punches the air victoriously.

The celebration is interrupted by a familiar green light and scanning noise. The group turns their heads to see yet another uninvited BRAD.

"Unauthorized life forms detected."

It prepares its blast.

"Stop! Stand down!" Mae shouts, stepping in front of the kids.

The drone pauses for a moment before stepping around Mae, "Command override due to unauthorized life forms."

"That doesn't sound good..." Kenji winces as the seven of them slowly back away from the approaching bot.

"Initiating elimination protocol."

"Run! Everyone, run!" Mae cries.

They all start running, Mae right behind them. She tries to direct the kids to somewhere they'll be safe, but it seems like everyone she can think of, more BRADS appear.

"Look out!" Brooklyn cries.

Everyone ducks down as a glowing blue ball of electricity hurls towards them. They keep running, dodging the shots.

"Split up!" Darius instructs and the group splits off in different directions.

"Just keep eyes on me!" Mae shouts.

Y/N finds himself running parallel to Ben, a BRAD hot on her trail.

"Hey!" He calls out before even thinking, "Over here!"

The robot whips its head around to face him, distracted by Y/N's movement the BRAD runs into a rock, knocking itself out.

Mae opens up a door and ushers the kids inside, "Quickly!"

They all take a moment to catch their breath while Mae locks the door.

"Okay, okay. That should slow them down." She smiles.

The door suddenly clicks and flashes green, signaling that it's unlocked.

"Or not." Mae swallows hard as the door slides open to reveal 3 BRADS.

The group is back to running, this time down the unfamiliar corridors.

"I'm really beginning to hate these guys!" Mae looks back to see how close they've gotten.

"Beginning!?" Y/N quips.

The metal clanking reverberates through the halls at the BRADS grow closer and closer. One charges up and shoots a ball of electricity that grazes Yasmina's head and hits a pipe on the ceiling.
