Hey guys! I don't know why, but suddenly I felt like putting something up for Real Steel. The idea just came to me and I promise I'll make future chapters longer, this one is basically just an Intro. Hope you like it! Please Read and Review!
Prologue: Silver Flare and Cyan Spark
Charlie and Max were watching Metro beat up a tiny bot by the name 'Crusher'. Their two robots, Atom and Noisy boy sat behind them in the special seats King Pin had put up for observing bots once the world realised they could talk. They usually speak in frequencies inaudible to humans but they recently discovered how to speak so humans could hear them.
Noisy boy scoffed at the bot facing Metro as his head was ripped off. The owner came rushing in and examined his bot with concern. King Pin walked up to him with a smug grin and the owner pursed his lips and payed up before taking the pieces of his bot into a wagon and carting them off. "Anyone else wanna challenge Metro?!" yelled King Pin before adding as an after note to the questioning expression of Noisy Boy and Atom, "Except those two…" Noisy Boy fist-bumped Atom. The door behind them swung open and Midas sauntered into the robot-viewers pavilion, sitting on the other side of Atom.
"I'll take Metro." A feminine voice in the crowd called. Midas raised an eyebrow. The crowd parted wondering who the challenger was and whether she saw what happened to 'Crusher'. The owner was a girl about the same age as Max, with long black hair, drawn eyes and pale blue eye shadow. She wore a black metal-accented jacket and boots to match along with black jeans and a purple top.
Behind her was…. "Unbelievable…" said King Pin barely noticing his mike was on. A female robot walked behind the girl. She had a perfectly designed figure and her fingers were long and slender. She held her metal head high. Two spikes of her 'hair' fell to the front and the rest at the back, the metal strands shone silver in contrast to her blue-purple and black design. "My name's Sapphire and this is my robot 'Silver Flare' Metro's challenger", the girl said boldly. Atom heard Midas wolf-whistle and Noisy Boy leaned forward, "Damn." She put her hands up for the fight.

"Wow that is one killer bot! How'd she make that?" Charlie asked awestruck son. It was quite a while after Atom's Zeus fight, but he was still in the ring and fighting hard, and his now sixteen year old child was proud of it. They were watching an underworld match between King Pin's Metro and the new robot. Silver Flare.
King Pin was having a fit. He had already lost three rounds to the girl and wasn't winning this one either. Silver Flare was smashing him around the ring with perfectly executed blows and kicks. Metro's jaw hung slack by a single bolt and he jolted backwards. Silver Flare kicked him in the ribs and punched his head off as the owner jumped up gleefully. King Pin handed over the money with a snarl and she walked out, followed by her robot.
Max decided he wanted to know where she lived and begged Charlie to let them go after her. Charlie rolled his eyes and the over-caring teen and let himself be dragged after his son. He noticed Atom, Noisy Boy and Midas follow them. Sapphire turned two corners till she came to an old building site, and a derelict apartment. She walked through the broken supports followed by her bot and sat down somewhere shady, sighing heavily. "Someday Silver, we'll do it right."
The robot followed her and sat next to her. "We can't just let her live like this Charlie!" Before Charlie could stop him he had run off towards Sapphire and her bot. The bot rose to a fighting stance and from behind another support, another bot came out and joined Silver Flare. Also female. This one was a more Cyan colour. With black rims and the same kind of hair, but shorter. Sapphire rose and called her robots off, "You're Max Kenton. Atom's owner? What do you want with me? I'm not selling Silver or Teal!" Atom stepped towards Silver Flare and 'Teal', switching to frequency speech so that his owners could not hear him, "My name's Atom. That's Noisy Boy and Midas." Noisy gave a slight incline of the head and Midas gave them the two finger greeting. Silver smiled a bit,"I think you know I'm Silver Flare, she's Teal Spark."
Soon, Max and Charlie had persuaded Sapphire to buy a house next to where they lived. Even connect the two houses. She admitted she did just get some serious cash from Metro and had enough now from fight wins to buy a house. And that's what she did. Sapphire, Silver Flare and Teal Spark would find themselves meeting robots and people more often now.
