Along with Up being in a shocked at being told that Taz was in love with him he was also filled with more anger than he had ever had fill him. He wanted to kill Junior, no he wanted to destroy Junior, for hurting Taz. And he could not deny the jealousy at the core of his anger. She was his Taz, not Junior's, his. Up was so busy contemplating his anger he didn't notice the robots undoing his chains.
"Okay Up, we are going to play a little game" Junior told him, cracking his knuckles, Junior was staring at Up as if he knew something that he didn't.
"What?" asked Up, still consumed with thoughts of Taz and fantasies of Junior sitting on a knife or Up breaking his fingers then he wouldn't be popular anymore, he would be just like Up except Up can kick his ass.
"A game, the rules are simple" said Junior, Up wanted to attack him right then and there but the robots still had him by the arms and not even his huge muscles could break thru their metal.
"I am going to hit you" said Junior, also filled with genuine anger. He walked towards Up slowly, wound up and punched up straight across the face. Up took the pain in silence, it didn't hurt nearly as much as the time Taz had hit him. "And you are going to hit me back"
The robots released Up, he barely noticed as he was looking at Junior confused. Surely he didn't really want Up to hit him, Up was much stronger and what could he possibly gain from this?
"What?" Up repeated the same word. Junior hit him again.
"Hit me back" he said, this reminded Up of Taz and when she had used those exact words while accusing him of becoming soft.
Up clenched his fists, more than happy to smack Junior right in his mug, it'll teach him a lesson about hurting girls, especially Taz. Up swung his fist around; Junior didn't even flinch as it came around growing dangerously close to his face. And then, one centimetre in front of Junior face, his fist stopped as if hitting an invisible wall. Up frowned and tried again but his actions were in vain for it had the same result.
A second time he tried, a third, no luck. Junior was laughing, loudly and cruelly as Up attempted to hit him. Up used his left hand to grab his right wrist attempted to pull it forward to make contact with Juniors skin. Junior laughed harder.
"Having fun commander?" asked Junior, Up looked at Junior, breathless from the effort. Up's blue eyes were wide in confusion. "Grab him" Junior ordered the robots.
"Confused? I would be, see about three years ago the Galactic league decided that any robots or robot parts created would be equipped with an inhibitor chip. They thought anything involving robot technology would be dangerous unless there was absolutely no way they could harm humans. All robot parts were made like this, even ones used to repair humans" Junior explained, looking up at Up on the last word.
Up had never heard of this law, no one had told him. Three years ago, just before his accident. He examined his right side; under this fake synthetic skin were wires and parts with potential to become a monster. Without the inhibitor chip he could be influenced to harm anyone, even Taz. But also he couldn't harm Junior, well he could with his left side, but he was right handed and it's difficult to only punch with your weaker hand.
"Lucky you're not left handed, we might have had a problem. See now, I'm going to go talk to my Ex and you think about telling me that information, unless of course you want me to remove that chip and put you in a room with Taz, you might be able to control your actions. Bye, bye!" said Junior leaving Up in a room with two and a half robots.
Up hung his head, he was a potential danger to everything and everyone around him, even if he wanted to he couldn't have hit Taz back that day. Of course he would never want to, what's the point of being alive if he couldn't even protect Taz.
…
Taz was in a room alone, no robots, no chains and no Junior or 'Hunior' as she pronounced it. He had always told her he liked the way that she pronounced his name; he found it 'cute' of course she had to sock him one for that but it was still nice to hear. Taz heard the door being unlock she instantly went into a fighting stance ready to face anything that was behind the door. But it was only Junior.
"Came down Taz, you wouldn't want to do something stupid when your boyfriend is with two robots in the other room" said Junior.
"He is not my boyfriend" Taz said, but of course she wanted him to be, as if he ever thought of her that way.
"But you want him to be" said Junior darkly, Taz frowned, Junior really never got over their break-up.
"You need to move on Junior we were together a long time ago" said Taz lowering her fists.
"I never lied, I did love you, now I don't know what I saw in you, clearly not what Up sees or I'd still be in love with you" Junior told Taz, she glared at him.
"Up does not like me, don't mock me Junior" Taz said angrily.
"Oh my god, how is it that the two toughest Starship rangers are the most Naïve?" asked Junior "Oh well it doesn't matter, now are you going to tell me what I want to know?"
"De ninguna manera Junior. I will never tell!" she said stubbornly.
"Perhaps, you'll feel differently when I get your boyfriend to kill you" said Junior smiling slightly, Taz was taken aback by this statement where could he even get this idea.
"Up would never hurt me" said Taz confidently, but the smile on Junior's face made her uneasy.
"He's jealous you know, that I was with you, that I got to touch you and hold you, he hates that" said Junior quietly taking a few steps towards Taz, she backed up every step he took forward "He really, really hates that" Taz was now against the wall, Junior was took close for her liking she pushed him backward hard. He didn't take kindly to this he smacked her across the face.
Taz lunged forward put the robots quickly aided Junior and caught her in mid-jump and proceeded to through her against the back wall. There was a crumbling of rock as she fell to the floor, barely moving. She groaned as pieces or rock and dust fell on her head.
"Maybe you'll feel different later" said Junior unaffected and walking out.
As he did, Taz swore she heard a very faint yell of "TAZ" she smiled at that thought as she fell unconscious.
…
Up heard crumbling of rock and a scream in the distance, he could have sworn it was Taz's voice.
"Taz!" he called out and tried to break from the grip of the robots but they just held him tighter. "Let go you stupid robots!"
"Ha. Ha. You. Are. A. stupid robot. Too." Said a robot in an emotionless voice, Up sighed as he accepted the truth.
It was at that moment that Junior strolled into the room, he looked determined with a definite plan.
"Your girlfriend is being unreasonable but I have a plane that may make her loosen her tongue a bit, maybe even yours as well" said Junior smiling.
"No, don't do it Junior please don't" Up told him trying to take a few steps backwards as Junior advanced towards him.
"The information?" asked Junior as the only other option.
"Never" Up stood his ground, Junior didn't seem surprised, he reached to the back of Up's neck, the chip was hidden in his hair. Higher up than the other robots so people wouldn't know about his inhuman operation.
Junior pulled the chip out of his skin, and something weird happened, Up felt half of himself shut down, even half his brain. But as quick as it had shut down it started up again, with a new intent: to 'kill all human enslavers.' His heart didn't want to kill humans but his entire right side did, and he wasn't sure if his hear would be enough to stop it.
"Well then, shall we go say hello to Taz?" asked Junior evilly.
