As a big city went down, planes were flying and shooting through the city, there was a woman standing in the middle of the chaos. She screamed for help But no one heard it. Then she saw someone important to her, and that person said, "I'm going, Mom. I have to go save the city."
Hailey woke up, was sweating, and screamed, "NOOO!"

Everyone in the room was startled but then a voice called, "Mom!"
It was Helen's, and she ran straight to Hailey to hug her, then she said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I didn't mean to make you faint."
Hailey hugged her back, patted her head, and said, "It's alright, I'm okay now."

Fillian was relieved and said, "I'm happy you're okay, Darling", then she turned her head behind a curtain and said, "Thanks for your help, Linda."
Then Linda opened up the curtain and said, "No problem, Filly. It's my job anyway."

Hailey was sweating upon seeing Linda and screamed, "Kyaaaa, robot!"
Fillian calmed Hailey down by saying, "Wow, wow. Easy, easy. Calm yourself, girl, and take a look carefully. This is not a robot, this is my friend Linda. She has lost her body and is forced to use a machine for a body."
Linda sighed, patted Fillian shoulder, and said, "It's okay, Filly. I get why people don't really like me and the way I look. I am used to it. The important thing is, that Hailey is safe and awake."

Hailey became a little calm and Helen hugged her even tighter and said, "Don't worry, Mom, they are good people", then she whispered to Hailey, "Although, I don't know why that lady, Linda, has a red light in her body."
Then, a surge of flashbacks flowed into Hailey's head. She was in pain, touched her head, and said, "We need to talk about that, sweaty. You kept that secret away from me."
But in return, Helen said, "And you kept a secret that you were a dancer. You should know better."
Hailey was surprised, but before she said anything, Helen said, "I heard it from Ms. Fillian, she told me about you, Mom. You've been working hard and I don't want you working too hard, let me help. You said it yourself that we will go through this together, right?"

Upon hearing Helen say, "Let me help", Hailey shivered, put her hand on Helen's shoulders, and said, "Now, dear. I know I said that, but I can't say that you are ready for... all of this. Especially that chips thingy. I still have to come to terms with the fact that it is actually good for your health or not."

Linda heard that and said, "Don't worry, Ms. Bagger. That chips are safe, she's got treated well."
Hailey looked at Linda, frowned, and said, "How are you so sure about it?"
Linda smiled and said, "I've checked her up. She asked me to look up what was up with those chips, and I checked her with X-ray and Holothermal. The result is fascinating. Her body is becoming very agile and strong. She is even immune to disease now."

Hailey was unsure about what Linda said, but Fillian convinced her, "Linda is a high-rated doctor and scientist. She knows her stuff."
Helen joined by saying, "You heard that, Mom. I'm healed. You don't have to be worried anymore."

Although Hailey's concern was reducing, she still couldn't believe her daughter was in such a state. She felt like a weight just put onto her back. As a mother, it was her duty to protect and teach her daughter the way of life, and right now, she felt like it was hard to do that since she didn't know what she had to do with that information.

The silence was interrupted by a call, Fillian answered the call, "Yo, Filly's here."
Fillian changed her facial expressions into a depression, and said, "Yes, I'll be there."
Linda heard what was said on the phone and said, "I'm sorry for your loss, Filly."
Hailey and Helen were concerned, so Hailey asked, "What happened?"
Linda answered, "There was a massacre that just happened, and 112 people died. The massacre took place near Fillian's barn. You guys probably know what that meant."

Hailey gasped into her hand and said, "Filly, I'm sorry."
Fillian took a deep breath and then said, "Y'all don't need to worry. I'm fine. I can handle this just alright" while walking out of the room. Linda soon came after.

Linda reached for Fillian with her mechanical hand and said, "Filly?"
She stopped and said, "We'll destroy them."
"Huh?"
"We will destroy them, right?" Fillian turned her head to Linda and revealed that she cried.
Fillian then continued, "I had promised to come back and win against this apocalypse, but..." she sniffed her snot, "There is no place to go back. They... they are all gone, Linda. I can't. I can't do this anymore."

"You can!" a voice came from Linda's shack.
"Hailey?" Fillian asked while wiping her eyes.
Hailey came near Fillian, hugged her, and said, "You thought I forgot what you said to me when we first met? Stop that; you are stronger than this. You are more than just an ordinary girl. You are gifted. You have helped me multiple times throughout yesterday and today; now I'm helping you."

Fillian hugged Hailey back, "I... I don't know what to say... I guess... Thank you. I'll be stronger this time."
Hailey responded, "I'm here for you."
Linda, by their side, just watched and said, "You have to go, Filly. Right?"
Fillian looked at Linda and then at her watch, "Oh yeah, Makori and the other need me."

Helen screamed, "Wait! I want to come too."
Hailey looked at her daughter and lifted her up, "Oh no, you don't. You stayed with me."
Helen said, "I want to go with Ms. Filly. She promised to protect me when we were talking before and I believe her."
Fillian said, "You can come too, Hailey. You feel fine now, right?"

Hailey didn't know what she wanted, but Linda was there to convince her, "He knows what the lights mean. Just asked him."
Hailey was confused, "Huh?"
"You need to go there anyway, right? There is something important you need to do."
Hailey became confused even more, and then Helen said, "Mom?"

Hailey set her decision and said, "Okay, I'll come too."
Helen shouted, "Yeay!" with her arm in the air.
When Hailey walked next to Fillian, Fillian said, "Hey, thanks for the encouragement back there, Hailey. You were so sweet and caring."
Hailey blushed and said, "Oh, that was nothing."
Then, they went to Gerald's van to meet up with the rest of the gang.
