"Well of course it's disappointing! Well for now at least. Bloody hell... Bruv, this right here, is just the frame. We still need to chuck a few parts and we're done. Now first on the list eyes. It should be around here somewhere. Go fetch em will yah?" Gladstone explained.

"Will do," Athena answered making her way to the coordinates. Walking past the rotting corpses and sparking waters fille with chopped wires they made themselves to a laboratory. In the middle looked what seemed to be a microwave.

"The fuck is that?" Jack stated from the comms.

"A microwave?" Claptrap asked.

"Look, Gladstone, I'm looking for a badass army whats a microwave got to do with it?" Jack stated annoyed the sound of loud tapping echoing from his channel.

"Wow chillax. Trust the Process bruv. This right here is an M.R.R.M short for Material reconstruction reprogramming machine. There's an eye already in it which will digistruct the loaders. Though I couldn't finish the process when the bloody bandit's attacked me, Just open it and grab it then we're set for the eye." He explained.

"What ever you say bud," Dracule confirmed.

"Can we use it to cook food though?" Claptrap asked.

"You can't eat why are you even asking?" Jack stated.

"I'm just wondering," Claptrap answered.

"Well, for the bot's question. Yes. Though it might be slightly burnt and taste like cardboard. I know because I tried... didn't end well. So yeah." Gladstone lamented.

"Interesting," Athena stated sarcastically.

"Now what's next?" She asked.

"Well the things got to have a defense mechanism and you know what they say, the best defense is a good offense. There are turrets that can be stuck right on as I really did have all the parts I just needed to recalibrate em. Here is the location of the turrets the only problem is it needs a target. I recommend just finding some bandits, we need less of em anyway," Gladstone answered.

"Nah that'll take to long I've personally seen how long it takes for the recalibration. I'm not a fan of waiting for these things. They are slow and it takes forever just aim towards me and I'll slice the bullets. Although this method is the unsafest its the quickest besides I'm more than capable." Dracule affirmed his hands on his blade.

"Well okay then. If you say so. but if you get shot and die it not my fault," Gladstone warned.

Making there way to the assembly area they place the robotic eye into the frame before awaiting the turrets to descend and fire. The turrets descending aimed at Dracule but remained still it blasters still not going off. (AN: For the people who played the pre sequel have you ever been stressed when doing this part of the mission? I always killed the damn bandits before the turrets could as they did shite damage and left alone would be destroyed. I love over leveling and fire weapons so missions like this pained me as I had to just absorb the damage like a little bitch.)

"Look man you can go if you want. You don't have to risk it," Gladstone warned again.

"Trust me I got this," Dracule reaffirmed.

"If you say so. All you gotta do is move around while it fires. Welp 3, 2, 1, 0, now," Gladstone stated. The turrets now activated to shoot fired away to Dracule who stared intently at the turrets slicing the bullets as he moved around before quickening his pace.

The turrets now slowly getting the hang of Dracule's pace started to move quicker and its aim becoming accurate. Dracule feeling the Turrets slowly start to get more accurate started moving swiftly around a sweat starting to form on his head as he smiled.

"Okay, that's enough the calibration's completed. I don't know how you can do that but I only feel glad that I'm on your side. Luckily those were bullets and not Energy shots I don't know if that blade of yours can handle energy blasts. Well anyway, the energy turrets can be placed on," Gladstone

"And to think I was just getting into the groove. I feel bad for the ops on Helio's they aren't going to stand a chance." Dracule smiled wiping the drops of sweat on his forehead. It was the first time in a long time he had tested just his pure reflexes. Although he had gone against enemies and machines that shot bullets they had never improved actively.

They either died before they could or were left unable to do so Draucle made sure of it. Dracule had never restricted himself to defence as well. He has also had no sparring partner. Dracule had everything but technique. The same could also be said for other lone swordsmen. Who would be crazy enough to carry a blade in a world filled with nothing but guns and mayhem? Well, only the insane of course.

"Welp now that we're done getting the turrets done we're going to need mobility and I know just where to get it from bruv. Here are the coordinates just get the power armor and we'll be on our way to getting your badass army of robots!" Gladstone exclaimed.

"That's what I'm all about! Man would I go for some pretzels." Jack exclaimed.

"You want me inside this thing?" Felicity asked.

"You know I've been wondering about this installation. You know you could just copy me. it takes a little longer, but its the same thing, and I'll find it much less terrifying.

"Exactly how much less terrifying?" Jack asked munching away.

"Its the difference between brain surgery and being scanned." She informed

"I'll think about it," Jack answered.
