Chapter 6 - Chapter 6: An Invasion of an Unknown Enemy

Mysty and Albur quickly ran away from the house. 

"Hey Mysty, there better be an explanation here, what is happening?" asked Albur.

"I don't know too, when I got home they were like this already!" said Mysty.

"Hey, could you two keep your voice down? Do you know its already 10?" Albur and Mysty's neighbour walked out from his house, yawning. 

"Yo, Mister, you gotta leave right now! There is something wrong in our house, you had to run before they get you!" yelled Mysty. 

"What are you talking about, our street is paired with the most high tech CI security guard, nothing will go....." suddenly, the TV and computer in Albur's house jumped out and attacked the neighbour, the furniture in the neighbour's house also came alive and attacked him, his toilet seat even swallowed him. 

"AW, SNAP! Mysty, we gotta run!" Albur grabbed Mysty and ran. 

"Oh gosh, looks like not only our furniture came alive!" shouted Mysty.

The CI security guard of their street noticed the two of them, so it approached to them.

"Hey, good evening, what's wrong?" it asked. 

"Our furniture, came alive!" shouted Albur. 

"Wha- sir, are you drunk?" asked the CI security guard. 

"No, we're not! The furniture really became alive!" said Mysty. 

"Furniture nowadays are indeed computers, but you say they are alive?" asked the CI security guard.

"Ugh! Just... aw, no time to explain! You gotta help us!" said Albur. 

Out of a nowhere, all furniture of the houses in the street all came alive and attacked their owner. Everyone ran out of their house. Screams and yells can be heard all over the street.

"What the- what is going on?" the CI security guard rushed into the crowd. 

Suddenly, a washing machine charged into the CI security guard and sent it flying. After it landed on the ground, damaged, the washing machine transfer particles into the CI security guard. A few seconds later, the CI security guard stood up, its screen shows statics, and the error sign. Its body twitched, and rusted.

"Oh no, what should we do?" yelled Mysty. 

Albur looked around, he found some metal pipes and grabbed them. 

"Let's use these to protect ourselves first! " said Albur, giving Mysty one too.

Albur and Mysty swung their metal pipe at the corrupted CI security guard and the furniture that came alive. Albur remembered once he spun a broom around to get rid of the pests in his room, so he used the same technique using his metal pipe, and destroyed quite a lot of the furniture and critically damaged the CI security guard. Mysty also used her metal pipe to shove the alive furniture before smacking them at the CI security guard, destroying the furniture and damaging the CI security guard. The CI seemingly became enraged and pulled out his laser machine gun which is paired with it to handle dangerous situations. 

"Oh you got to be kidding! It started to lock in !" said Albur.

"Beware of the laser bullets! And seek shelter!" yelled Mysty. 

The CI spun around quickly and fired its laser machine guns. Albur and Mysty quickly hid behind a dustbin, but it quickly realized and fired at the dustbin. Both of them quickly hopped away and tried to get near the CI security guard. Albur quickly knock off the CI's laser machine gun and gave it a nice fat juicy metal pipe massage, which in other words, step on it and smack it recklessly. Mysty stared at Albur, shocked. 

"Oh, my goodness, I had never tried that before, and now I did, it was so satisfying." panted Albur. 

"You literally just destroyed it, looks like you released all the frustrations you have accumulated over years." said Mysty.

"Woah, not gonna lie, that was so satisfying after I destroyed it." said Albur.

"New personality unlocked moments." said Mysty. 

"I guess so?" said Albur. 

"Anyways, any idea where should we go and what should we do?" asked Mysty. 

"Uh, I don't ...." just as Albur is about to speak, the house behind them exploded, bunch and bunch of came alive furniture started running at them. 

"Oh, I guess that these things decided what should we do." said Albur. 

"So? What is it?" asked Mysty.

"Well its a plan that mostly involved not dying and three letters, R,U, and N." said Albur. 

"Like that plan, c'mon!" Mysty and Albur ran as fast as they could. When they reached the highway, they saw CI robots hunting humans and capturing them. CI road lamp bot discovered their existence. 

"Human found, activating operation capture." the road lamp bot flashed its light, alerting the other CI bots about Albur and Mysty's existence. 

"Oh my god, how are we gonna fight them with just a puny little pipe?" asked Mysty. 

"Then, maybe plan B, run!" shouted Albur. Preparing to retreat. 

"We can't! The CI furniture are behind us! " yelled Mysty. 

The CIs surrounded the two of them. 

"Hey Mysty, you said you are a mystery unraveller, do you have any useful tools?" asked Albur.

"Oh yeah! I have one!" Mysty searched the pockets of her old outdated adventure suit and pulled out a taser. She activated it and shocked a road lamp bot. Albur took the chance to grab it and spin it to knockback the other CIs, but they stood back up and smacked Albur onto the ground. 

"Albur!" Mysty electrocuted the other CIs and helped Albur up. 

"Albur you ok?" asked Mysty.

"Y-yeah..." groaned Albur. 

Suddenly, a huge portal appeared in the sky, a huge spaceship-like castle emerged from the portal, little space ships slowly came out from it.

"What the, aliens invading earth?" asked Albur. 

"Impossible, we already had a truce with aliens 4000 years ago!" said Mysty. 

"Stop historying and start running!" Albur grabbed Mysty and started running. Suddenly, a little spaceship landed in front the two of them, it levitated some destroyed CIs that wasn't alive and then transferred some particles in them, and became alive. 

"What is freaking going on now?" asked Albur. 

The CIs that came alive fired laser bullets at the both of them, they tried to dodge but Mysty still got hit by a bullet and fainted. 

"No! Mysty!" yelled Albur. 

The CIs continued to pursue Albur, Albur thought for a while, he then carried Mysty on his back and started running towards the spaceship. He managed to find the door leading to its inside and opened it. He quickly put Mysty down on the ground and ran to the spaceship's control panel, he panicked and started pressing random buttons, and he was lucky, the space ship is able to be piloted. The CIs attacked the spaceship and tried to bust it. Albur quickly grabbed the steering stick and launched the spaceship into the exosphere. The CIs chased the spaceship and keep firing laser beams, Albur tried his best to pilot the spaceship but eventually, he broke the steering stick. This caused the space ship to malfunction. 

"Oh no, oh no, oh no no no!" panicked Albur. 

Despite the spaceship have weapons on it, but Albur don't know how to fire them. The spaceship eventually started to drop, and it was about to crash onto the moon. 

"AWWWW, SNAP!" the spaceship crash landed on the moon. 

The CIs blew away the smoke and ashes, and found Albur lying on the ground, the spaceship was on fire, even though they knew fire can't lit when there isn't oxygen. Albur opened his eyes, his leg is injured, his head is dizzy, but he used his only remaining energy to push away the spaceship ruins on Mysty, and at last fainted. The CIs charged their weapons, aiming at the helpless man, but just as they were about to fire their weapon, a bullet flew to them and destroyed quite a lot of them, the other remaining CIs was confused, but they decided to retreat, 1. is that they knew Albur and Mysty can't survive, and 2. is for their own safety. After all of the CIs left, a robot approached to Albur. 

"Huh, two humans who escaped from them? Hmm..... looks like they need a little help." the robot kept his weapon and reached out to Albur.
