Author's Note: It is finally up! Me and my friend Moonlightpheonix-xX made a collab story! :D:D I think it's awesome. We have a whole plot thought out...kinda. XD She's new to Astro Boy, so if she got any facts wrong from what I told her, then she apologizes. XDDDD But anyway, this is my new Astro Boy 2 fanfic. I hope you enjoy!
Prologue: And Then There Were Three...
Rain poured down through the clouds above Metro City, pattering heavily against the windowpanes at the Ministry of Science. A short, heavyset man with white hair hurried from one end of the lab to the other, carrying little parts with him as he went. He didn't want anyone to help him, as this project was a secret. He was going to make the perfect power source.
This power source…this core would be the key to allowing humans to safely live upon the earth again. No longer would they be trapped in Metro City or in the waste below. The earth would be whole once again. Humans, robots, and animals would live in peace upon the Surface. That's what the scientist wanted. Peace. That's why it had to be a secret…
Dr. Elefun quickly clipped the laser above his head, pointing directly at the star fragment below on the lab table. "It has to be cut perfectly…" he mumbled to himself. "If I mess up just once...it'll be ruined." The scientist turned on the laser. As it powered up, he repositioned it so it would be dead-on. A beeping sounded from across the lab, and he threw his hands up in the air. "Ah, darn it!" Unknowingly, he had knocked the laser out of position ever-so-slightly. The laser fired, and began to cut the star fragment. Elefun looked back and saw it was cutting it, but the position was off. "No!" he shouted, quickly turning off the laser.
So much for the perfect power source. It was ruined! Or maybe not… Maybe it could be saved!
The scientist quickly turned on the purification pump, in hopes that it would work. The pump worked quickly when normally used, but in this case, it didn't. Elefun sighed, turning off the pump slowly. "Ruined. My plan for peace is ruined."
The core shook once and turned black. Trash… More trash to throw upon the surface world. Useless, unneeded trash.
Sighing once more to himself, Elefun took the core in his hands and chucked it out the window in frustration, watching as the core fell down to the surface, the rain making it go faster and faster. Lightning flashed over the Ministry, shaking the whole building as it struck below the city. Turning away from the window, Elefun returned back to the lab table. He noticed that the star fragment was in pieces, and he sighed in defeat. "Typical. Everything that I try to do in secret never works..." he murmured.
Elefun looked away from the table for a moment, before he realized that there was a faint glow in the room, and it wasn't coming from the lab equipment. He turned back around and gasped. On the table were two cores, two perfect cores. One blue, one red. "It worked!" he shouted excitedly. "It worked!"
But what Elefun didn't know was that his mishap in the lab actually did work. And it was angry...
