Meeting Robots, Break In-
I brushed my dirty blonde hair behind my ear as I looked at the clock above the whiteboard. Only two more minutes until the end of school.
'Only two more minutes and I can meet Robo-Grumpster again' I thought before returning to my nearly complete homework, only one more problem left to do and it was on Polynomials.
I did the problem in my mind before writing the answer in the space, not caring that I needed to do the math on the paper for full credit. The bell rang seconds later and I packed up before heading out. I passed all the students and began heading to the Mesa where I and Robo-Grumpster first met when someone grabbed my shoulder.
"Filrod, where are you going?" Miko's voice asked.
I tilted my head to look at Miko's worried amber eyes before rolling my emerald ones.
"Why does it matter to you?" I scoffed, pulling away.
"You're going to meet Ratchet again, aren't you?" she demanded, I rolled my eyes and continued to walk.
She grabbed my wrist, holding me back, "Filrod, you can't! He's insane!"
I glared at her, giving a low hiss, "I guess that makes two of us"
She took a startled step back, hurt flickering in her eyes. I tched before whipping around and stalking away.
"Don't Do This Filrod! He'll Kill You!"
I stopped and tilted my head to look at the blue sky, already done with listening to her. I turned at her, a dangerous gleam in my eyes.
"Don't assume shit" I stated in an eerie calm voice.
Miko shivered but stood her ground, "I've seen him kill those of his own kind! I've seen him take humans and they were never seen again!"
I rolled my eyes.
Miko glanced at the SUV that always came to pick her up, she seemed to contemplate on something before making up her mind.
"Filrod, before you go and meet with him, can you please come with me to meet those who've known him for years?"
I stared at her, contemplating on the request. I could get to know more about Robo-Grumpster and figure out others views on him, but I would be going to meet strangers. I grumbled before walking over to her.
"Fine, but their views will not change mine" I warned.
Miko nodded and gestured for me to get into the SUV. I did so after she did. I glanced at the driver's side to get a description on the driver in case something happened but noticed no one was there.
Miko whispered something to the dashboard before listening to something and replying. The gear lever suddenly switched to Reverse and the car began pulling out. I felt panic overtake be and began trying to get out.
"Filrod! Filrod! Calm down, it's alright!" Miko, the crazy person, tried to calm me.
"Let Me Out! Let Me Out!" I yelled, my heart pounding quickly as I tried to on lock the door and open it.
"Calm down" an unknown male voice boomed and I froze for a second before continuing with the pounding.
"Filrod, it's okay, he's the vehicle!"
I suddenly stop, remembering Mister Robo-Grumpster and how he was a robot that changed into a vehicle. I slowly glance at the girl before looking at the steering wheel. The steering wheel had a purple symbol that looked like a creepy smiley face while Robo-Grumpsters' symbol was a frowny face.
I slowly settle and carefully watch our surroundings so that I could find my way back if need be. Suddenly, a portal-thing appeared and swallowed us. I felt a strange buzzy-vibratey-sick feeling go through me and groaned, closing my eyes.
"Sorry" Miko's voice said to my right, "I should have warned you about the bridge"
I cracked open my eyes and saw her standing at the door of the SUV. I unbuckled and got out of the car. My legs were a bit shaky but they didn't feel like they'd collapse so I stood next to Miko as the car suddenly shift and twist, turning into a large robot.
He was large, about two-three times taller the Robo-Grumpster, with completely orange eyes and a blue face. He had wheels on his back and large/tall shoulders. His main color was red and his secondary color was dark grey. His feet and hands were black. He looked like a heavy hitter.
"Filrod, this is my Guardian Breakdown, Breakdown this is Filrod" Miko introduced us.
I frowned and looked at her, "so he's the one who knows Robo-Grumpster?"
"One of them" Miko gestured for me to follow her and I did.
We entered a ridiculously large room through a too big door. I blinked at the large robots, there were like four or five of them in the room, Jack and Rafeal were leaning on a railing. Jack's eyes snapped over to meet mine and he did a double take.
"Filrod?!" the lanky boy called out in shock.
Suddenly, I was the center of unwanted attention. Miko looked at the light silver and blue eyes robot.
"Hey Bossbot, sorry about bringing her here without your permission but it was either doing this or letting her get herself killed" Miko spoke to him like it was no big deal.
I rolled my eyes with a soft scoff.
The silver robot, Bossbot, looked at me with a studying gaze before looking back at Miko.
"This is the one who Ratchet was visiting?"
Miko nodded, "and she was planning on meeting him... again!"
Bossbot's eyes turned worried and he looked at me, "may I ask why?"
I turned to meet his eyes with my own determination, "no you may not"
The humans didn't look as taken aback at the disrespect as the other robots did.
"Show some respect!" the red and green robot with wings snapped, glaring at me through sapphire eyes.
I glared back.
"Dreadwing, enough" Bossbot commanded and the winged robot, Dreadwing, backed down.
Bossbot knelt in front of me so that we were closer to eye level. I continued to look at him in defiance.
"Ratchet is not the Autobot you want contact with" he rumbled.
"No Autobot is" the thin female robot stated blandly.
I casted her a quick glance before looking back at Bossbot, "why not? He doesn't seem so bad"
"You only met him once!" Miko yelled, throwing her arms up.
"Three times actually" at their shocked, confused and worried looks I explained, "at school yesterday, earlier that day when I was heading to school and a month before that. Granted the first time was when he was in his vehicle form"
"Is He Stalking You?!" Miko shrieked, panic filling her gaze.
I gave her the most done look I could as I spoke with so much sarcasm only an idiot could miss it.
"Yes, I am being stalked by a giant robot of an entirely different species"
Apparently, Miko was one of those idiots.
She gasped in horror, "WHAT?! Megatron, we HAVE to keep her safe"
I facepalmed right there and then.
'Why am I always surrounded by idiots?'
Bossbot, Megatron, looked troubled, "do you know why you keep running into him?"
I rolled my eyes in irritation, "I only ran into him three times, I wouldn't classify that as a 'keep running into' situation"
"I would" the small cyan male with blue eyes muttered, rubbing his arm where his door was.
"Why don't y'all like him anyways? What'd he do to y'all?"
The robots glanced at each other before Breakdown spoke.
"He did so many awful things, many that no one can name they were so terrible. For instance, he experimented on our kind multiple times on our home planet and whenever he can on this planet, he even experiments on humans when he gets the chance"
"He's known as the Doctor of Doom" Miko chirped in.
I hummed, interesting, "'Doctor of Doom' hmmm? Sounds nice"
Miko gave me a 'seriously?' face and I smirked at her. I looked at the other's reactions and grinned at their slightly disturbed looks.
"What is wrong with this human?" the female asked, clearly wanting an answer.
I shrugged and casually stated, "I'm insane"
Jack gave a slight huff, not quite believing me. Miko and Raf looked uncomfortable while the robots glanced at each other in confusion.
"You may think you're insane but-"
I cut the cyan robot off, "I'm defiantly insane, I got tested"
He shifted slightly.
"But you still shouldn't be going to meet Ratchet, he's evil!"
"A boot is evil to an ant, a bird is evil to a worm, a human is evil to one another" I wisely stated, "guess who's the ant and worm in this"
Dreadwing glared, I smirked up at him. The robots and humans seemed to be done with my attitude and me in general because they portalled me to the school. I cackled as I headed home.
…
I slept peacefully, ready to actually meet Mister Robo-Grumpster, Ratchet, when something broke. I gasped and sat up, wide awake. I slowly crawled out of bed and peaked out of my room. Shadows moved down stairs. I felt a low rumble in my throat, these... these imbecilic were in MY house!
Suddenly I heard my brother and sister scream only to suddenly stop. Then a figure left their room, and moved towards mine. I backed away and quickly ducked under a fort, opening the trap door and entering it before closing it behind me. My door opened and footsteps sounded. I crawled to my hidden stash and grabbed two of the blades, ready to defend myself.
There was the sound of someone shoving things out of the way, a gunshot and footsteps fading. I listened carefully as I heard whispering voices before the door opened and closed. I released a breath and stayed where I was for the rest of the night.
