Chibi-Robo lay down on the floor and continuously tapped his foot against the door. Maybe with some luck, someone would hear him and help him out. No one came, though. Even the person who had opened the door on him had left, so for the first time ever, he was all alone.

The constant banging of his foot on the door eventually made his head pound, so he had to stop. After that, it was eerily quiet. Chibi-Robo almost felt like he was losing energy. And...was his back getting wet?

Alarmed, he sat up and looked down at the floor. Battery acid. Neon green and glowing oddly bright. It was oozing from the cracks in his shiny chrome finish. The sight of it was disturbing. If his entire battery leaked onto the floor...

Chibi held his side, using the other arm to bang on the door again. He needed to get out fast before something went really wrong. He didn't want to waste his power, but it was only a matter of time before all the acid was gone. And then what? Would he just fall like he did in the past when his power ran out? Or would something worse happen!?

He decided he didn't want to find out. Where was Telly!? Why was he taking so long!? If there was any moment where Chibi wished he had a speaker, this would be it. Was he just stuck!?

Finally, he collapsed onto the floor, too scared to do anything else. His biggest fear was that the Sanderson's wouldn't find him here until it was too late. And then they would toss his body in the trash, just as worthless as the garbage he literally filled his head with.

Actually, his biggest fear was that Telly would never return.

Finally, after what felt like days, he heard something apart from the pounding in his head from losing battery acid. It sounded so dangerously familiar it made him want to get out his Chibi-Blaster. What was that noise?

Chibi-Robo stood up and tried to peek around the door. It was such a small opening, but he finally saw what was going on.

Spydorz.

He froze. He had destroyed those robots when he got Giga's leg back, hadn't he? What were those tiny machines doing here?

When the Spydorz turned and saw Chibi wedged behind the door, he could tell they were plotting how to get in that tiny confinement and destroy him. They were always trying to destroy him for some reason, a programming error, if he recalled correctly.

Either way, he needed to get out before they got to him first.

He backed up until his heels hit the wall behind him, getting his Chibi-Blaster out and aiming it at the door. Maybe if he shot it, it would open just enough to let him out. Turns out, it needed three charged blasts to make an opening just big enough to squeeze through. At this point he put the blaster away and held onto his side with both hands, knowing too much force would push the rest of the battery acid out of his body. When the Spydorz were turned away, he bolted for the hallway.

As soon as he was out in the open, the evil robots began shooting at him. It was hard to go fast when his plug was trailing behind him and he was trying to stop acid leaking out of his body, when suddenly, he was halted in his tracks. He spun around, seeing that his plug had gotten stuck on something! He let go of his side to tug on his plug, watching the cord turn red from the strain, but it wouldn't come loose! The Spydorz shot at him again and again, but Chibi couldn't dodge! He felt his battery power drop until his vision flashed red, a sure sign that he was low on power. Finally, his plug came loose, but it made him stumble backwards, so much so that he tripped and fell down the stairs.

All the way down.

He rolled on his side the entire way, so his momentum kept him going until he painfully hit the floor down below. He lay motionless for a moment. Where was everyone!? Why had Telly just left and not come back!?

Chibi-Robo finally worked up the strength to limp from the foyer to the living room, holding onto his side carefully. He just needed to get to the Chibi-House so Telly could see what was wrong and get help, and then he would scold him for leaving like that.

But what he saw upon entering the living room burned in the back of his camera's apertures.

Telly was talking to Giga-Robo.

Not only that, but everyone was here. Every person and every toy (though the toys were motionless).

They had all left him.

Telly turned around just then and Chibi locked eyes with him. Telly's eyes widened in shock, "Chibi-Robo!?"

That was the last thing he could see before he fell on the ground, his energy completely drained.
