A few months passed since Max and Nori went back to Max's old home for his younger sister's party, that ended awkwardly for Nori.

The sounds of a robot rebooting could be heard as laying in a pod was what appeared to be a Disassembly Drone just with a matte black shading with red accents along the arms and legs.
The drone was hooked to a bunch of cords that ran out of the pod to a computer with error signs all over it.
The drones visor lit up with red eyes that immediately turned into an angered expression.
A crack was visible on the visor but didn't really affect the drones vision. More of a battle scar.
A muffled groan of frustration could be heard from within the pod as the drone ripped the cords away from him.
The pod opened as the drone stepped out, taking in the surrounding area. The drone walked over to a small opening and looked out at the world before him, only to see it was more of a post-apocalyptic winter wasteland.
-Welcome to Copper 9-
An exoplanet that was once inhabited by humans and worker drones before the humans wiped themselves out, leaving the Worker Drones to live free.
It did not last long as the parent company of the Worker Drones soon found out about this incident and sent Disassembly Drones to take care of the rogue drones.
The company, JC Jensen (IN SPAAAACCEEE!) sent four Disassembly Drones to Copper 9 to eliminate any and all worker drones.
One of the Disassembly Drones was the drone who was observing the wasteland. This drone was known as Serial Designation-MX or as he's been known to be called, Max.
MX has taken the role as the Leader of the Disassembly Drones. The others didn't really argue nor did they have a choice as MX or Max is a top of the line, Next Generation Disassembly Drone with more unique features than a normal Disassembly Drone.
MX was roughly the same size as the other Disassembly Drones, maybe a couple inches taller. As stated, his body is painted with a matte black with red accents rather than the normal steel coloring.
MX also wore a black battle vest due to him being a Military Version of a Disassembly Drone.
Some features that MX carries, that the others do not, involve improved flight, meaning MX has the wings most Disassembly Drones have but he also has small propulsion systems built into the bottom of his feet allowing him to fly at faster speeds.
Said propulsion systems also act as a way for MX to "glide" across the ground as if he was skating. An MX Unit has been recorded going up to Mach 2 with their improved speed.
MX's vision is drastically more improved than a typical drone. MX is not only able to track anything but his vision also includes thermal, night-vision and if he's locked onto a target, he basically has wall-hacks and can see said target through walls.
MX's weapon system has been upgraded as well. He can use the normal claw hands, machine gun, swords, chainsaws and missile launcher; but MX also includes a mini-gun, a rail gun, and a flamethrower.
MX is also able to create two forms of an EMP Blast. He can charge an EMP to "restart" any and all caught in the blast radius. The second form of the EMP Blast is weaker but strong enough wipe out computer systems but not any drones.
MX is rumored to be able to overcharge his core and in a sense, self destruct, engulfing all in a fiery blast on par to a Nuclear Blast. No known MX models have been tested.
Of course, MX has the normal nanite acid tail and is shown to have extremely good control over the tail, even manipulating it into a whip.
Some defensive measures that MX can do vary model to model. This certain model is known to have an active camouflage component. Camouflage can be activated at any time and can be used for as long as need be if MX has had enough oil in reserve.
Most MX units are equipped the ability to move with extreme silence and are able to move shadow to shadow as if they were teleporting.
MX's visor has a unique feature in which Sentinel's Boot-Loop have little to no effect on MX. The visor on all MX models is designed to block or shade out the flash from the Sentinel's light.
One common feature that all MX models share is the little need to consume oil to prevent an overheating. MX Units have a built in cooling system that automatically turns on when an MX unit starts to overheat, typically from when they overuse weapons or the flight systems.
The MX Units weren't built to replace the old Disassembly Drones but to be an all purpose drone. An MX Unit was designed to do any practical operation, just as or even more effective than any standard drone.

MX or Max finally moved away from the hole in the spire of death as MX called it. MX walked out of the makeshift lab area, soon rejoining the other Disassembly Drones inside the landing pod.
The first to notice him was another male drone who wore a pilot hat. This was Serial Designation-N or N for short.
N: Oh! Heya, MX! Welcome back!
MX shifted his focus to N before continuing.
N: Ope! He's mad.
MX heard what N said and stopped. MX's head turned around 180 degrees to face N.
MX: Not mad, frustrated.
N: Ohh. I take it you didn't get your memories back then?
MX, now fully turned around, stood in front of N.
MX: Not even close. Where are the others?
The other two drones were out hunting at the moment, so it was just MX and N.
N: Uh, I think they mentioned something about going south for a hunt?
MX: Hm.
MX began to walk towards the exit of the Spire of Death, leaving N slightly confused.
N: Hey! Where you going?
MX: On my own hunt.
MX peaked back at N, as a face shield covered MX's lower face.
MX: Don't break anything and for Robot-Jesus, don't touch any buttons!
Without saying another word, MX activated his wings and the rocket propulsion systems as he launched into the night sky of Copper 9.
The smoke dissipated to reveal N holding a firm posture while Saluting.
N: Hm, MX told me not to touch anything but.....NO! Heh, unlike J, I think he'll actually kill me for no reason.
Going with the alternative and choosing life, N used his wings and flew out of the giant Spire of Death.
MX floated in the air as he watched N fly off in the opposite direction.
MX Mind: He's an idiot but he has his uses. Plus, it's nice to have someone to talk to that isn't obsessing over me.
Voice: eM tuO teL!?!
MX looked around for the he source of the voice but when he saw no signs of anyone, he shrugged it off.
Just as MX was about to fly away, he noticed a small figure moving towards the Spire of Death and Despair.
MX used his enhanced vision to lock onto the target and saw that it was a worker drone. He was about to ambush the poor little drone when he stopped.
MX: Meh, leaving the others.
MX flew away from the area as the small worker drone disappeared into the Spire of Death.

Somewhere on the other side of Copper 9 was Outpost 4. Another home for some of the remaining Worker Drones.
Outside, the snow began to fall faster as a storm approached. Banging on the outside door was a worker drone wearing an orange hardhat.
Drone: Miguel! Open up! My circuits are freezing out here!
The doors slowly began to open to reveal another drone holding playing cards.
Miguel: Dumbass! Oscar locked himself out again!
Before anyone could say anything else, a claw hand shot through the drone's, known as Oscar, chest.
Deactivating his active camouflage was MX, with a sinister expression. His visor had a red X instead of his red eyes as oil leaked from his mouth.
MX: OH YES! GET SNUCK UPON!
MX began to slowly move his way into the bunker, manically laughing as the worker drones backed away in fear.
