Chapter 10: Remembered
Eve's shoot hit its target. The crystal Wall-E was holding shattered into a million pieces. Eve deactivated her cannon and put her fins over her eyes, then activated her fingers. She looked like she was hiding her face.
"Evah?" asked Wall-E. Eve took her hands off her face. She looked sad and confused. She looked like she didn't know who she was.
"Evah." Wall-E repeated. Wall-E got close to her. Eve had no urge to take out her cannon again. Something told her that this was right. Wall-E got close to Eve and moved his head toward hers. Then a spark united them both. Instead of the spark going out after a second, it continued to go from Wall-E to Eve for a long time. Eve began to remember things.
The first thing she remembered was after she had shot the rock. She remembered scanning objects and firing at Wall-E several times. She remembered Wall-E trying to impress her with a trash sculpture of herself, and Wall-E showing her all his collectables. Then her memories shifted to the Axiom and her being activated on the captain's bridge. Eve remembered finding the plant in space and her first kiss with Wall-E. She remembered dancing, and all the emotions that came with it. Then she remembered Wall-E being shocked. Then Eve remembered Wall-E being crushed by the holo-detector and flying over earth to find Wall-E's truck, and she remembered trying to fix Wall-E. She remembered how her spark had caused Wall-E to remember, and now she knew that Wall-E's spark had caused her to remember too.
But something was wrong.
After the spark ended Eve hugged Wall-E. He didn't hug back. He didn't move or react to Eve in any way.
Eve was worried. Did giving Eve's memory back cause Wall-E to… no she couldn't bear the thought. She grabbed Wall-E and headed to the repair ward.
-----
Eve crashed through the diagnostic glass window and went to the back where spare parts were made. She opened up Wall-E and searched for anything that would be fried. Nothing seemed wrong. She searched and searched but everything in Wall-E was in working order. Why then, wasn't Wall-E working?
She suddenly experienced flashbacks. Back to when Wall-E first felt emotion.
Eve saw through Wall-E's eyes at hundred's of Wall-E robots lined up at a station. Each robot went in, and none came out. Eve watched as Wall-E got nearer and nearer to the front of the line until he was only two dozen away from the front. Then she saw the Wall-E bots were being turned off, one by one. She felt that somehow Wall-E felt deep emotions of pain inside. Once Wall-E had reached the front, there was a human man. Eve noticed that this man was a lot skinnier than anyone had been on the Axiom. The man looked at the back of Wall-E's body.
"Well now, would you look at that. You're the first Wall-E unit built. It's a wonder you've lasted so long. It's a shame you gotta be turned off. Just then, Wall-E escaped the man's hold and rolled away. He turned to his brother Wall-E's and spoke; "Follow."
All the remaining Wall-E units followed Wall-E away from the station.
"Wait where are you goin', where are you all goin'?" said the man.
The Wall-E units ignored him. Every one of them followed the lead Wall-E away into the denser areas of trash. Then they returned to their jobs of cleaning up.
Apparently the man had called BnL headquarters, because an army of robots began destroying the Wall-E's. Eve was horrified as she saw that the robots that were destroying the Wall-E's were in fact very similar to her. The only difference was the lack of expression and the color. They were all colored Red.
Eve saw that Wall-E evaded these armies and that the next day Wall-E left his truck to see his many brothers destroyed all over the place. Their bodies were strewn all around and matched into the trash that surrounded them.
Wall-E gave a horrible sound. He kicked trash and broke his precious collectables. After several anger filled moments, Wall-E yelled "NOOOO!" and cubed up. He remained like that for almost a year.
The flashback ended and Eve realized this was a memory that Wall-E had successfully blocked from his past. Eve realized that in his transfer, Wall-E had given Eve the memory he was based on, and turned himself off because of it. Eve realized there was a simple solution to this problem. She got close to Wall-E and gave him a spark kiss.

Wall-E reactivated. "Evah…" he said.
Eve was joyful that he was alright. "Here." she said. She held out her hand and Wall-E took it.
"Evah remember?" Wall-E said.
"Yes." Eve whispered. Wall-E was suddenly very happy. "Evah remember!"
"Yes, but not long." said a voice behind them. They turned around and saw Red with her cannon up again. She was surrounded by Lime, Pinky, and Violet who all had their cannons aimed at either Wall-E or Eve.
"You have proven to be permanently malfunctioned" said Red. "Therefore we must destroy you."
Eve looked at each of her sister probes.
"It is too late. The override crystal has been destroyed. You have all failed your directive." Eve said.
"No." Red said. Her voice was uncertain. "No, that isn't possible."
Eve held up a piece of the crystal that remained. The probes immediately identified it as a shard from the override crystal.
"No!" said Red.
"You have failed your directive, Red." repeated Eve. "There is nothing you can do."
The other probes took there attention toward Red, who appeared to be having a mental breakdown. "Failed." she said. "Failed, failed, failed, failed, failed!" Red deactivated her weapon and the other three probes did the same. They all seemed to be going through the same mental breakdown Red was going through.
Eve sighed. This was bound to seriously damage their personalities, but they weren't going to be harmed and it was the only option she had. Eve looked at Wall-E with a smile in her eyes and picked him up. It was time to go home.
