Omega Doom Page #3

You think the Droids are stupid enough to fall for this?

Don't let their oafish behavior fool you into thinking they're stupid.

They're clever in their own feeble way.

I don't care for Droids much.

They're slow.

But I convinced them I would lead one of you to the treasure.

One of them will follow.

And when we get out far enough...

we kill him.

She thinks you're gonna convince me...

into sending one of my own into an obvious trap?

I'm very persuasive.

So you'd double-cross Zik, then the odds are in our favor.

- Forget it.

- Trust me.

You are one piece of machinery.

Ironface, go with him.

And if anything looks strange...

kill him.

Things look strange to me right now.

- It's a trick.

- Yeah.

Mine.

There they go.

So, what's the plan?

I'm going to follow them and kill them both.

Then while the Roms are waiting...

you attack Blackheart and Zinc from behind.

They'll be too busy waiting for our Angel to deliver their guns...

to notice you.

A sneak attack? It could work.

This one will work.

This one they won't be expecting.

Man, Zik was deep today.

There.

I could kill you here and now and save myself a hike.

What are you gonna tell Blackheart? He didn't get the guns.

Don't confuse me with logic.

What is this, your intuition?

This is a trick. I know it.

You knew all along I was lying?

That's right.

You figured I'm gonna take you out one by one?

Damn straight.

Well, Ironface...

I must admit...

you are a hell of a piece of hardware.

That's right.

Guardian angel.

You're very fast.

How did you start?

Someone must've switched on the light.

It came into my consciousness.

Whenever you're ready, Princess.

Wow, that was fast.

Do you want me to end it gently?

I'll just sit here for a while.

You wouldn't need to suffer.

I can handle it.

Go on. Get out of here.

I've got a lot of things to think about.

Here he comes, Zinc.

And he's alone.

Go prepare our welcome.

Where's Ironface?

Rotting in synthetic hell.

This is a bad idea, Blackheart. This one is too scary.

We don't need the guns.

Who's left to kill, anyway?

We don't even know the humans exist.

Let's get out of here while we can.

Forget about killing. Those last two were nothing.

I'm satisfied.

The fastest way for you to see Ironface again...

is to cross me.

We follow our program.

I'll prepare the welcome...

Just like you want.

Go get me a drink.

Keep your mouth shut. You understand?

Zinc showed some intelligence, Blackheart.

Why don't you get out while you still can?

Because I need those guns.

To kill imaginary humans.

Can't you let it go?

You've gotten pretty friendly with the stranger, haven't you?

Maybe you've forgotten who's allowed you to stay alive all this time.

Who is this male?

- Where did he come from?

- He hasn't told me anything.

He likes water on ice.

Water on ice.

Liar!

You all right?

What do you care?

I'm having a heck of a time trying to access my motor controls.

Let's just say I'm still a work in progress.

Do you want a new body?

I don't think there's anybody out there that'd work.

You can go shopping.

Are Ironface and Zik dead?

Ironface is. Zik's counting down.

I couldn't see it, but I think Blackheart killed Zik too, and Titus.

It figures.

You could still just walk away and go about your business.

I am the business.

Hey. Watch out for Zinc.

She's the tricky one.

Poor Ironface and Zik.

You must be some kind of real monster.

You don't mind if I kill this Drone, do you?

It's not like we need her, since I guess we're all moving on.

Why don't you let her live.

Drones like this bartender are basically weak.

They're always thinking that someone good like you is gonna save them...

from someone bad like me.

Since I'm pretty much pure evil...

I want all Drones to know...

good just doesn't exist anymore.

That's my mission in life.

I'm willing to give up my share.

Your share?

What does that amount to?

I wouldn't know...

since I haven't actually seen it.

If it means so much to you...

she's gonna have to die.

Kill her.

All right.

Don't worry. I won't kill you just yet.

I need to probe your memory.

Surprise.

So, who are you?

Your memory.

Bartender.

- We gotta do something.

- Like what?

Let's get the hell out of here before Blackheart kills all of us.

Holy Toledo.

- A gun.

- Maybe I can save him with this.

You're gonna shoot Blackheart?

No. There's no bullets inside.

The gun's empty.

But maybe I can get Blackheart to think that I know where the treasure is.

While she and Zinc are following me, you get the guy out of there.

How am I supposed to do that?

Pull yourself together. It's his only chance.

- Where can I possibly hide him?

- You were a teacher. Think of something.

Yeah. You're absolutely right.

A problem to solve. That is so cool.

We'd better do this now.

- Before they kill him.

- No, before I lose my nerve.

- Where did you find the gun?

- When I first drilled the water well.

The treasure is right under their noses?

Must be.

It's the only thing I came up with from the dredging.

I haven't found anything else in all this time.

Come.

I hope my legs hold out better...

than my backbone.

I have faith in you.

You are a machine...

but you are now different.

We have reprogrammed you...

with a human purpose.

Now you can clearly see which machines are good and bad...

who deserves to live and who deserves to die.

What did you see?

Nothing.

He doesn't know anything about the guns.

But his mind...

it's controlled.

By what?

Purpose.

She's got a gun.

Where did you get that?

I can show you.

Humans thought they were so clever, didn't they, to send one of ours.

Well, it just won't work.

He's been sent by humans?

Is that possible?

It doesn't matter.

It's empty.

Show me where you got this.

Sure.

Let's go.

- She's gonna kill us.

- It's not in her program.

What about him?

He doesn't matter now.

I need the bullets for this gun.

The humans are coming.

I want that treasure.

Humans.

My God.

You okay?

Oh, God.

This came from there?

I found it where I first dredged for the water.

You expect us to believe that?

Dig.

Might as well kill me now. I'm not gonna do it.

Kill her.

I'm glad I wasn't created a Drone.

I'd rather be born human.

At least humans fought back.

But look at you.

It's a pitiful existence.

God, I'm glad I wasn't created a soldier.

What a burden it must be to have to kill.

Enjoy my murder, Zinc.

Hope it makes you feel better about your life.

I never enjoyed the killing.

Is it just the program?

What else could I do?

Just kill her!

Give me a hand.

You're okay. You're okay.

Bartender's trying to keep her busy so we can get out.

Wait, don't...

This is all that I am.

You could be more, Zinc.

What eyes.

All right! Kill her!

Kill her! She's not dead yet!

Damn.

You're very resilient...

for a Hybrid.

I heard Zik call you a guardian angel.

I guess you've fallen.

Not quite. Don't move.

I'm not going anywhere.

It's a wicked world, isn't it...
