"Space…the final frontier…" our bold, metallic, and somewhat rusty hero began.. "yea, I have no clue how others do this!" Claptrap thought as he looked out the ship's front. "HOW THE BLOODY HELL DID THE OTHERS DO THIS?!" Claptrap demanded as he began walking around the ships' command station. Claptrap was about the size of a small child, and with the same patience as one.
He had a cube-like body, with a single eye. His small clamp-like fingers clicked on a few keys on the command controls, and a loud alarm started going off. "Ugh, this thing again.." He mused as he hit a "RESET" switch. "Life support system stabilized" a robotic voice said as he continued clicking keys. "Yea, yea, yea…" He replied in an annoyed voice as he used his single wheel to roll around the ship's dark red lights hit against his metallic frame, making yellow and silver paint seem more sinister.
"DAMN IT! Why the hell are they using me as a transport bot?!" He demanded as he went back to the ships command center and took a seat. The remaining vault hunters had let Pandora as the map of remaining vaults in the universe was discovered. Of course, they couldn't take all of their firepower with them. They had purchased a small ship and were having Claptrap fly in their firepower. Of course, this wasn't without its issues.
The ship was purchased cheap as it had a small hull integrity problem. Nothing major, just the fact that the life support system..wasn't supporting life. All it did was add artificial gravity. And if it wasn't stabilized every so often, the ship could rip apart. So, not suitable for living people. But for their needs, it fit just fine. So, all of the firepower from all three generations had been put into large chests and loaded onto the ship.
It was up to claptrap to keep it all in check. "incoming transmission.." the computer warned. Claptrap made an exasperated sound . His eye began projecting a large view to show Maya, Brick, Mordecai, and Lilith on a new planet. "How are things going claptrap?" Lillith asked as claptrap his the reset button. "Oh, you know, little dark, little gloomy, and enough firepower to wipe out a planet. How about you guys?" Claptrap asked.
Well, we managed to arrive, but t seems we arrived at the wrong planet. Anyway, you're headed to the right place, but we'll be a bit delayed. Just remember to…." Claptrap had stopped listening at this point and was moving his hands in a yapping motion, showing a clear annoyance. "Did you get that claptrap?!" Maya demanded. "Yea, yea, yea, get the shipment to the location, don't let the hull collapse, don't hit the self destruct button next to the reset!" Claptrap replied as he hit the button.
'SELF DESTRUCT INITIALIZED! PLEASE PROCEED TO THE NEAREST ESCAPE POD. IF YOU MAKE IT, HAVE A GREAT DAY. IF NOT, ENJOY YOUR IMMEDIATE DOOM!' The computer replied as claptrap tried to keep a straight face. "You just hit the self destruct button didn't you?!" Mordecai demanded. "WELL WHOSE BRIGHT IDEA WAS IT TO PUT IT NEXT TO THE RESET BUTTON!" Claptrap demanded as he began running to the escape pod.
"YOURS! In case you got stopped by "The intergalactic fuzz"." Brick replied. "Yea well, abandon ship!" Claptrap yelled as he jumped into an escape pod, only to realize it was an ejection tube. "Oh, shiiiiiiiiiii…" Claptrap yelled as he was jettisoned into space. The gravitational pull of a nearby planet captured him and began pulling him into orbit. His communication program went offline as he began shooting into the planet.
*KONOHA*
Our story begins one night, on October 10. A small boy was walking through the village, headed towards the outskirts behind the Hokage monument. This small boy had currently turned 7 and was 4'0 tall. "Today won't be safe in my apartment, and the old man kage never showed up!" He said in asqueaky voice. He quickly ducked into a building and began running towards the forest as a large drum was beaten to signify the beginning of the festival to celebrate the death of the legendary Nine Tailed Fox.
Naruto found a nice clearing and set up a large blanket he had brought with him. He laid down and covered himself with it, looking up to the sky. He saw a large object in the sky moving at a fast rate and smiled. "Jiji told me about these! They're shooting stars! Now, I have to close my eyes and make a wish!" He said with a giggle as he closed his eyes and put all of his concentration into a single thought. "I wish I had a real friend!"
He opened his eyes, but saw nothing. He smiled a sad smile and let out a pitiful attempt at a laugh. "I should have known better…" he said with tears in his eyes as he rolled over, crying to himself. He never noticed the object in the sky heading right for him. With a loud crash, the object slammed into him. The impact created a large crater and a loud bang, but no one came. Everyone was busy with the festival, and the few ANBU squads making rounds were spread out too far to notice.
Claptrap slowly rebooted himself after he crash-landed on this planet. "Man, am I glad I don't have a human body! I think I would have felt that in the morning!" He joked as he got up. His comms came back online and his connection with the Vault Hunters was re-established. "CLAPTRAP! Are you alright!" Gaige demanded as the small robot got up. "Yea, I'm fine! There was something small…and wet… and spongy to cushion my fall!" He replied as he got up. "Good! If my death trap ever breaks a part, you're the spares." Gaige replied.
Claptrap was about to reply, but Maya took over. "Where are you?" she asked. "I have no clue!" The small robot replied as he looked around. Maya froze as she looked at Claptrap's projection. "Claptrap..is that blood?" Maya asked as she looked at him. He looked at himself and then under him. A mop of blonde hair was still visible, but the rest of the small creature seemed mangled. "SHIT! I landed on a kid!" Claptrap yelled, making all of the vault hunters look at him in shock.
"Is he…" Brick asked as Claptrap looked for a pulse. "WAIT! I have a pulse. It's small, but it's there!" Claptrap replied as Hammerlock took over. "Quick, we must assess the damage." He stated in a calm voice. "But how?!" Claptrap demanded, worried he might have killed a child. "Give him an ENHANCED HUMAN INTERFACE CONSOLE!" Hammerlock replied, referring to the technical term of the bio-enhancement that allowed the hunters to see their health, shield, and weapon status.
Claptrap nodded and pulled out a newer model of said device. He shoved it into the spine of the mangled interface came online and Claptrap synched with the human, transmitting the vitals to the others. "He's still alive. Please begin administering blood transfusions, cell replication enhancements, and anti-biotics from the med-kits available. He will also need painkillers." Hammerlock said as he worriedly studied the vitals.
Claptrap nodded and began inserting various shots of blood-replenishing transfusions, along with applying cell replication enhancing medication to the outside of the boy's body to help his skin grow back. "Now, you will want to send a small amount of nanobots to repair any internal damage in the boy.." Hammerlock replied as he saw the boy's pulse rising slowly. Claptrap freaked, but enganged his .
After the computer analyzed the situation, a large syringe popped out filled with a red fluid. Claptrap magnified into it 100 times to reveal various small versions of himself running back and forth. Some had med kits, others had knitting needles, and even duct tape. Claptrap injected it into Naruto's bloodstream, making the boy convulse.
"I sure hope this works…" he mused as he dropped to the floor and waited, still monitoring the boy's life-signs.
