I KNOW! I should not be working on this. But I have great things planed for this story! It started out as a one-shot, but turned into more and more chapters. I Hope you enjoy it. Anyway, On to the Fic! I'm sorry if some of the words don't show up!
Me: I do not own Astro boy, anything related to it.
Astro:Very good Rose-chan. I didn't have to remind you this time.*Gives her cookie*
Me: I don't want your cookie!...*takes cookie and eats it.*
(Set in 2003 version, no new movie, some other movie/tv show/ abridged series references...of which I don't own)
"Talking"
'Thinking'
"Japanese talking"
Atom walked through the streets of the strange city.'Where am I? This definatly isn't Tokyo.' People waved and smiled at him. But they called him a name that wasn't his.
They called him Astro. ' I have to find this person called 'Astro'. He might be able to tell me what's going on!' Atom ran and took off, glad that his rockets still worked here.
Wind whipped around him as he flew around the city. He thought about where he might find this Astro. 'Well, if he's anything like me, he'd be at the Ministry of Science...but which building is that?' Atom decided that it would be best to ask someone. He landed in what looked like a park and looked around for someone to ask.
He walked up to a man with a buisness suit on."Sumimasen?"(1). The man looked over at Atom with a confused expression. Atom quickly noticed that he had forgoten that the people here spoke english." Uh, Do you know where the Ministry of Science is?" The man blinked then started laughing. He pretended to ruffle Atom's hair." You've been working to hard Astro. You've forgoten where the Ministry is. It's the tallest building with the windows circling the building, remember?" Atom decided it would be best to just agree with the man, after all, now he knew what the building looked like. He nodded and took off agian. The man called after him. "Don't work yourself too hard!"
It didn't take long for Atom to find the Ministry. He landed on the steps and made his way up to the front door. A few people waved at him and said hello to him. A woman suddenly ran up to him."Oh Astro! Dr.O'Shay told me that if you came this way to tell you that he wants to see you in his office on the top floor." Atom nodded and went over to what he hoped was an elevator. The doors slid open and he was releived that it was empty. After stepping on, Atom pressed the botton for the top floor and sighed. ' Maybe this "Dr.O'Shay" Will be able to tell me why and how I got here. If he's anything like ...'
The door dinged as it opened onto a short hallway that led to a pair of double-doors. Atom walked up to the door and held his breath as he slowly pushed the door open. The two people in the room halted their conversation and stared at him. Atom couldn't believe what he was seeing. It was...himself...AND Dr. Ochinomizu!
The other him looked at him with wide eyes. He looked slightly different in the fact that he was a bit taller than Atom and he looked newer. Atom started to breathe rapidly. Then he shouted at the other him. "Namae o ukagattemo yoroshi desu ka?" (2)
The other robot looked shocked at the other language. "What do you mean 'Who am I?' Who are YOU!"
Atom looked frustrated. He decide to speak English. "I am Tetsuwan Atomu. I was created by after his deceased son, Tobio Tenma. I am cared for by my parents and Dr. Ochinomizu. I am also responcible for protecting Tokyo from any danger and watching out for my sister, Uran and my brother, Cobalt."
The other two simply stared at him. Atom began to grow impatient. " Are you going to answer my question or not?"
The other robot straightened his back and looked at Atom dead on. "I am Astro. I don't really have a last name. I was created by Dr. Tenma as a replacement for hs son, Tobio Tenma. Me and my sister, Zoran, are cared for by our guardian, Dr.O'Shay. I protect Metro City and anyone in need of help."
Atom looked at Astro and said, "So you're Astro." Astro rolled his eyes. "Yes I am." Atom took a moment to take all of this in. Finally his face drooped and he look tired. "Watashi wa anata no tasuke o hitsuyō to suru" (3) "With what?" Atom sat down cross-legged on the floor. " I need to get home. My family and friends are probably worried about me." Astro's heart suddenly felt sad for the other him sitting pitifully on the ground. He turned to Dr.O'Shay. "Can you help him?" Dr.O'Shay sighed." I don't know. I don't even know how he got here or where he's another dimesion."
Suddenly, Atom heard a very faint but high pitched cry. Astro aparently heard it too because he asked, "What was that?" Dr.O'Shay looked around. "What was what?" Astro looked at Atom. " You can fly and fight , right?" Atom nodded and stood up as Astro turned back to the doctor. "We'll be right back." He ran out a side door with Atom close on his heels.
The two robots jumped and took off. Atom tuned his hearing up to try and locate the sound again. The cry suddenly filled the air agian, only this time it was very close and very obvious. Atom could have sworn that it sounded familar, but shook the feeling off. Astro flew up beside him. "Where do you think it's coming from?" Atom shrugged. The cry sounded agian, but this time the sound hit home with Atom.
"Oyamaa!" (4)
Atom sped toward the cry as fast as he could, with a very confused Astro right behind him. They stopped at a park where a huge robot was reeking havoc. Astro groaned."Why did no one tell me about this?" Atom wasn't listening. His eyes were fixed on the thrashing figure clasped in one of the robot's hands. It was a small girl with jet black hair that curled up at two ends. She thrashed and hit at the hand that held her as she screamed. "Oniisan! Atomu! Tasukete kudasai!" (5)
Atom dove at the robot. He pointed his finger and cleanly sliced the robot's head off with a beam. The robot stopped moving and fell to the ground. The hand that held the girl released her and she fell onto the ground with a thud. AStro watched in amazment as Atom flew down to her. He kneeled next to her. " Uran!Anata wa daijōbu desu?" (6) Uran nodded as she sniffled and blinked back tears. "Hai." (7) Astro flew down slowly and landed beside them. Uran stared at him in confusion. " Oniisan, Who is this?" Atom helped her up. " Uran this is Astro. Astro, this is my sister Uran." Astro stared at but her short dress was identical to his sister. " She looks just like Zoran!" Uran still looked confused." Who is Zoran? Where are we? What happened to Cobalt and Dr. Ochinomizu?" Atom sighed and looked around. " My guess is that they are here somewhere." He looked at Astro. " We should get back to the Ministry and try to figure this out." Astro nodded and looked at Uran. " Come on." He picked her up and the three of them made their way to the Ministry of Science.
