Robots from another time
Next day the sun was hiding behind a few clouds, allowing some of the rays of light to shine down on the house. Rachel slowly woke up and grabbed what she had made that night and got dressed. She left her hair down and waited in her room to hear Randy moving about. Randy was now up and about, he did however clean himself up a little. Howard was eating breakfast. Rachel came down stairs quietly. "Randy?" she called softly. Randy heard her and turned around to look. Rachel stood there at the bottom of the stairs in a beautiful silk snow white gown that flowed swiftly when she moved. Her long brown hair lied upon her back and covered her left eye. Tiny crystal ice shards glistened off the dress making it sparkle dimly under the light.
Randy's jaw dropped, slightly staring as if he was mesmerized. Rachel blushed lightly and looked down at the floor. "Do you like it?" she asked quietly. Randy blinked a few times. "Y-yeah. I mean wow you look amazing." He replied. She blushed stronger, still looking downwards. "Thank you...I made it last night." She said. Her shoes were snow white crystal slippers. "You made it?" he asked. "Yeah. With my powers." She said and twirled around or a second. "So... what's the occasion?" Randy then asked. Rachel smiled down at the ground. "I don't know." She said quietly and embarrassedly. Randy smiled. "Well you look good." He said and blushed a little.
One of the kitchen cupboard doors slammed closed. Rachel smiled at him and headed back to her room. She seemed to still be concealing herself but opening up to Randy but hiding from others. Howard walked in. "You're out of milk." He said with a milk-stash under his nose. Rachel changed out of her clothes into her normal outfit and came down stairs. Her hair still down. "See you two later." Howard said, walking towards the door. "Ok bro, see ya." Randy replied. "Bye." She said. Flare was curled up on the couch. Howard then left; Randy looked at Flare and smiled. "So Rachel, What do you want to do?" he asked. Rachel lightly shrugged her shoulders. Randy looked over at the Nomicon. "Guess we could do some training?" he said. "Maybe. You're still injured." She said.
"Oh, right." Randy replied, putting his hand on the place of his wound. "I almost forgot." He said. She smiled softly. Suddenly the phone on the stand began to ring. Randy looked over at it. Rachel glanced at it. She approached it and picked it up. "Hello?" she called into it. The other end was silenced for a brief moment. "Rachel?" Howard asked. Randy walked up beside Rachel. "Howard?" she asked, glancing at randy. Randy raised his eyebrow. "You have to look outside; the city is being- Aaah! Get away-..." The phone line went dead. Randy looked at her worriedly. Rachel quickly dropped the phone and ran over to the window.
Termite robotic like creatures (about the size of a backpack) being to crawl over the fences and houses heading into the city. Randy saw them. "What the juice." He said looking at them. Rachel grabbed her bag which had her ninja mask and Nomicon inside. Randy quickly went and got his. Rachel looked at him. "Are you ready?" she asked. "Ready, let's do this." He replied, now holding a smoke bomb in his right hand before dropping it. She put her ninja mask on and followed after him with electricity sparking from her hands. Randy looked down at the passing creatures, they seem to be looking for something and ignore him. "Ninja air fist!" he called out as he shot a couple of them back. Rachel took several out with her electricity.
They quickly scampered away from them and group together, going into the city. Randy followed after them. Rachel trailed after them. They stared to eat some of the metals around them as they got closer to Mcfist's place. "Hey stop that." Randy said as he threw some bombs at them, not really looking where they were going. Rachel zapped some of them. The ones that were hit self-deactivated and the others press on ward. Randy stopped following them. "Huh, they're going to Mcfist?" he said. "They were eating the metal." She said. "I noticed..." Randy replied. "They must be from Mcfist but why would he send Termite that eat metal?" he asked. Rachel shrugged and walked over to a broken one. "They don't look like Mcfist robots." She said. Randy came over to have a closer look. "But all the robots I ever or we have fought are from Mcfist." He said.
One of them came and dragged the broken one away from them. Rachel fought over it. Randy watched as the creature retreated and went to join the others, who already at Mcfist. Rachel rewired the robot and started it up. "Rachel, what are you doing?" Randy asked, seeing the robot looking at them. "It can help us." She said. "Ook...How is it going to help us?" he asked. "It will lead us to them once we're inside." She replied. "Oh, alright." He said walking towards Mcfist's. Rachel followed him. They soon got into the building without Mcfist bots knowing that they snuck in. They looked around. Some of the ape-robots were running around, trying to stop some of the unknown bots from eating everything. The one Rachel had in her hands try to wiggle free. Rachel held it tighter in her hands. It stopped and looked up at her and Randy. The others were crawling around, some going into Viceroy's Lab. Rachel watched them and a few fled from one of the rooms. Rose stood in the doorway with fire in her hands. Randy step a little closer to Rachel. Rose noticed them and. Sighed. "A little help would be nice." She said.
"It would..." Randy replied, looking at Rachel than at Rose. ""But then after we help, you and everyone else will try and destroy us." He said. Rachel nodded in agreement. A small explosion was heard in the distance and several more robots came running. Dark Rachel stood there with her arms crossed. "Nightshade, it would be helpful if you herded them into a room." Rose told her. Dark Rachel turned to her. "Fine." She hissed and noticed randy and Rachel. Randy looked at her and the robot in Rachel's hands try to look innocent. "Do you something to do with these things?" Nightshade asked. Rachel shook her head. "No, we have nothing to do with this." Randy replied, as the robot Rachel is holding, mimicked the ninja's head movements. A robot crawled up to Rose, looked like it was sniffing her. Rose kicked in the face and across the room. Soon after it went out of sight, a small group came at her. Randy looked at Rachel. Rachel surrounded her in a crystal dome to protect her. They went around the dome into the other room. "So were going to help?" Randy asked Rachel. She nodded. "Alright." Randy said as pulled out his sword, more robots came around them.
Rachel let the robot crawl on to her back of jump down if it wanted to help fight. The bot watched Randy ran by some robots, cutting them in half and was about to hit an ape-bot but then stop and skip around it. Rachel let electricity zap the nearby bots. This didn't encourage the bot to help, much. Randy made a full circle and ran up to Rachel; he then made a little red symbol on the robot like the one on his ninja suit. "There. Now that should separate you from those ...TC-bots." He said. Rachel smiled softly and they all ran to Mcfist's office. Mcfist quickly turned around to see who was coming in. Viceroy, who was also in the room, turned to look as well. "Ninjas?! What are you doing here?" Mcfist asked. "So far to help you out." Randy replied. "Help, I don't need your help!" he snap. A TC-bot stared to come into the room. Rachel nodded. "You have a lot of termite like robots running about." "Termite robots?" Mcfist said to himself out loud and looked at Viceroy. Viceroy shrugged as rose and dark Rachel ran inside quickly shutting the door behind them. "Look, were going to help you but as long as you don't try to get rid of us." Randy said to Mcfist.
"I already told yo-" Right as Mcfist was talking a TC-bot jump down on the desk in front of him, trying to bite his arm. Rachel zapped it before it could bite him. Mcfist scooted back and looked at them. "Err ah…Fine." He said with a slight hiss. Rachel looked at the termite on her back and smiled softly at it. It tilted its head and then jumped down, crawling off to the back door. "Don't touch that bug." Randy called out as he followed after it. Rachel watched it. It tried to push the door open, which led to Viceroy's other lab. "Hey, stay away from that!" Mcfist once again stopped talking when the ninja opened the door, letting the termite in. Rachel followed them. Mcfist looked at Viceroy with a "Should we follow?" look. The others made their way down to the lab with lots of cages around them. A little bit of light shine in from the holes being made by other TC- bots. Rachel glanced around the room. Viceroy shrugged. The termite stopped and made a loud beep that echoed throughout the room. After that it went quiet, Randy looked down at the bot.
There was a little beep sound coming from one of the cages. Rachel walked towards it. As soon as she got close to it, a new hole opened above letting a light shine down revealing a much smaller TC-Bot with a blinking white light. It was stuck between two bars of a cage. Rachel used her powers to break the bars and removed the TC-Bot. Randy walked up to Rachel with the other TC-bot walking in front of him. "What's up with this little guy?" he asked. "I'm not sure. It was just stuck." She replied. "Hmm." He said quietly. The little TC-bot stared to crawl away from Rachel and the others above follow its direction. Rachel watched it carefully. It went back to where Mcfist and Viceroy were, Randy went after it as did the other TC-bot. Rachel chased after them. Mcfist saw the little bot crawled by and then looked at the two. "Why is it staring at us?" he asked. Rachel watched it. "I'm not sure." Suddenly a bright white light, flashed at Mcfist and the little TC-bot then turn around and went for the door. Randy watched it too. The other TC-bot looked up at the ninjas. Flare came out of Rachel's pocket.
"Flare, can you understand them?" Rachel asked. Flare looked at her. "I can try." She replied. "Hello." She said to the tc-bot Rachel reprogrammed. It looked at Flare. "H-ELLO." The reprogrammed TC-bot replied in a robotic voice to flare, only. "I can understand it." Flare said turning to Rachel then back to the robot. "Can you explain what just happened?" she asked. The robot was quiet for a moment looking back at the other TC-bots then at Flare. "Spy-B took a picture." It replied. Flare nodded at it. "Why?" she asked. It lowered itself down to the floor. "For data...I-t's class-classified." The bot replied slightly stuttering. The little TC-bot was quickly greeted and cover up by the other robots. "Is it like a baby?" Randy asked. Flare shrugged. "Why do the others treat it so gently?" she asked. "Because Spy-B is important for our commune. It must be protected!" It replied to her. The others began to leave. Flare had given Rachel and Randy a link to it as well. Randy blinked. "Why is it so important?" he asked.
"Spy-B has information need for future use." The robot replied, looking at the others going almost out of sight. Rachel looked at it. "Are you from this time line?" she asked. The robot looked up at her and sort of chuckled. "T-t-t-that can't. Be answer sorry." It replied sadly. Randy looked at Rachel. Rachel gave a small smile. She pulled out a phone from her pocket. "If you aren't, we are familiar with time travel. And I could always ask a friend of ours." She replied. Mcfist looked over at Viceroy. The bot tilted its head to the side. "Really?" it asked. Rachel nodded. "Really." She replied. Viceroy shrugged. "...Could you?" it asked quietly. "Could we get the ninjas now?" Mcfist whispered as Randy glanced at them. "If you want me to, but what for?" she asked kneeling down in front of it.
Viceroy nodded. "I gave the Scrpodogs a highly advance camouflage, I have several across the room." He replied quietly. "Along with a new one." Mcfist smiled. "A new one?" he asked, while the robot let the idea processing for a moment. "To get back to my timeline..." it replied with a tiny smile. "Of course." Rachel replied and called the doctor. Viceroy nodded. Mcfist glanced at the ninjas. "I think we should leave." Randy said quietly to Rachel. Rachel had finished calling the doctor and had told him to meet them near the forest. "Okay." She replied and scooped up the Tc bot. She headed towards the doors when viceroy pressed a button or two and there was a loud roar from the other room.
