Arie's POV:

Foxete, Jake, and I next to the teleporter as Dex prepares to send us down.
"Please be careful!" Ophelia fusses over the fact that I'm doing on a 'dangerous mission'. I see Foxete hug her adopted son, Ru and then hug Illoha. See a normal goodbye!
"I'll be fine Ophelia, I promise." I sigh and hug her.
Foxete is already standing on the teleporter, so I stand next to her. Damien is clutching onto Jake's leg, he and Lexi are trying to get him to let Jake go, but he has the grip of hell. Foxete notices and goes over.
"Hey buddy." She crouches down, "I'll take care of him, okay? I'll make sure nothing gets to him." Damien nods and let's go of Jake's leg.
Foxete and Jake hop up to the teleporter and stand to my left.
"Ready?" Dex asks.
"I guess so." Fox nods, loading her gun.
We all put our helmets on and connect our earpieces.
"Does your helmet have ears?!" Jake laughs, pointing at Fox's helmet.
I turn to look, and sure enough, her helmet has ears.
"Where else am I supposed to put them?" She rolls her eyes, "Let's go."
One blinding flash of light later and we're on the space station. There isn't any gunfire, but there are tons of old drones.

Fox walks over to one and crouches next to it, "How old is this model? They don't look like this anymore."
    The drones normally have dark grey bodies, red stripes on the arms and legs, and helmet shields that are blue, but this one is different. It has a dark grey body, but it has no stripes and looks, over all, plain. Their helmet is just solid red.
"That model is from 2022. Freddy's siege started in 2019. He blew up the earth in 2o20, so this is one of his first drones." Puppet offers.
"Really?" Fox stands back up, "So this is one of the first places he tried to conquer."
"The fact that he left this place, unsettles me." I take a deep breath.
"Well, we'll find out soon enough." Jake sighs.
We walk down the hallway, guns drawn. Foxete gave us 'silent laser guns' that she and Keori made. They apparently work well, according to Dex and Keeva. After about 20 minutes of exploring, we've found nothing.
"I'm radioing the others." Fox frowns, "There isn't anything here."
"How do you know?" I ask.
She walks up to a communication console and points to a blinking light, "That, is where the S.O.S is coming from." She walks a bit down the hall. I immediately feel my stomach drop to my feet. The smell is disgusting. There are tons of drones, dead people, and skeletons.
"Oh...." Jake gulps.
Fox turns to us, "And here are the people who sent it out."
Just then, something grabs Foxete's ankle and she screams. Like, a high pitched squeal scream. Jake grabs her and tries to pull her away from the... thing on the floor. It's some sort of Zombie. All of a sudden, multiple of those things begin rising up and approaching us. Foxete kicks the creature in the head and teleports us back to the teleporter.
"What was that?!" I gag.
"Zombies. It touched me!" Fox shivers.
We hear commotion surrounding us.
"I think I know why Freddy left." Foxete takes a shaky breath.
"Foxete, get us out of here." Jake grabs my arm and Fox's hand.
A shock goes through all of us.
"Ow!" I snap at Fox.
"I can't teleport." She hushes her voice.
"What do you mean you can't teleport!" Jake groans, "Try again."
Another small shock, but Foxete's body glitches. Like she was in a video game or something.
"Fox, you either teleport us out of here, or we die." Jake winces, "Please teleport us out."
"I can try the planet below us?" She offers, "It's an ex-prison planet."
"Sure! Anywhere is better than here right now!" I laugh.
She grabs both of our wrists and teleports with a pop. I look around our new surroundings.
Where did she take us?
