Kneeing him did not do much on its own. However, doing it over 30 times in a row began to show severe damage. That was an absolutely barbaric combo. Even 01 with his superhuman strength could not keep his hold on when I was doing that. His golden nanite armor could soften the blows to his body, but with the added damage of a combo that large, even that was starting to dent. 01 rolled off of me and glared. "Are you trying to permanently damage my nanites!?" he demanded. I got up to my feet quickly. "I did what I needed to. You were the one trying to pin me down with your fat ass again." He was close to done. So was I unfortunately. I casted more spells and I shot him with my rile. He tried blasting me with his sonic organ. He also used his radioactive organ against me. 01 went down before I did. I had won the match. I was much too tired to gloat about it though. I healed myself and then pulled out an energy generator. I laid my head down on his gray primordial form to rest before turning it on. He reformed his body so my head was resting on his lap. "You like me." he stated.
Nodding my head cost me nothing. My eyes were still closed. "Always have. Spending time with you is way better than being with 13-011." I replied. "What!? Why are all of you playing around with 13-011!? He wants to kill you and all the other humans in your clan. And me!" he shouted. That made me wince. I cracked open my eyes. He looked genuinely concerned. I told him what happened when I needed to rescue Liam of Heat Clan. 01 scoffed out loud. "A wimpy Advocate needing to be rescued? I am not surprised. Lots of humans hate the coalition." That was the very beginning of the story of the story, so I started there. He was shocked. "He was being abused and mated like that and he still wanted to take care of them!? That makes no sense. Humans are gross and mean." I smiled. "I think that shows how strong they are inside. It is something I admire." He just gave me a skeptical look in response. "Kindness is only seen as heroic when it is shown to people that don't deserve it. Liam is actually a great person. I respect him." I told him. I continued my story and pulled out their EMP.
Him snatching it was not something I was expecting. "A hostile syndicate found a way to immobilize us and you weren't going to tell us!?" I shrugged and said "I was a bit busy. Oswin and 13-011 ambushed me." I could see that he really was not buying that excuse. "Well, I want it destroyed." he said. I nodded my head and held out my head. "Clearly, we have to do that. First, I need to explain this to all the members of the coalition. Liam never saw what was affecting him." 01 clutched the EMP closer to his chest. "Why tell them!? You should tell Volition Clan." He did not trust me. I furrowed my brows. "01. You know for a fact I keep everyone in my care safe. I never let anyone attack 02. Not even you or 03. I would never use it in here because I have no clue what it would do to a PEP or PEA unit. Please give it back to me." I said. If he did not trust me, I had no clue what I would do here. I did pay a lot of credits to Phobia for the mini EMP. "What else happened?" 01 asked. All I could do was keep talking. I brought him up to current day. He frowned down at me. "You can't do this."
I was not sure what he meant by that. "Are you sure about that? I think I'm handling 13-011 pretty well." I questioned him. He bonked me on the head with the mini EMP. I looked up at him. "You are messing with an AEP unit from Void Clan. They are not going to play fair. You know that. Look what they did to 02." he said. That was true. It had changed 02's life forever. "That is why I need the EMP. That is my trump card." I told him. He frowned. "I do not want this used on him. It shouldn't be used on any of us. Especially not on the Conquerors. It isn't fair." he snapped. I looked at him. He was having a bit of an emotional outburst. "You humans always have to cheat against all of us to win." he said. 01 did not like being beaten. No one liked to lose. 01 really did not like humans beating him at anything. I moved my hand over to the EMP and gently took it from him. He let me do it. At the end of the day, 01 actually put a lot of faith in me. Standing up, I said "I won't let anyone from Phobia hurt any of you. There will always be a safe space here for you guys." I said. "I won't let a human protect me."
