The Rightful Ruler by Orenji Yume
A Rock one-shot poem
SPOILERS - Rock's thoughts on Tima ascending the throne. Sorry if anyone seems OOC. Enjoy! Happy New Year to all!
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Metropolis.
How can we entrust our future
Into the hands of a mere robot?
No matter how real she seems
Or how complex her structure
This is just a fantasy dream
You think she is perfect and all
Because she has no emotions
I think otherwise as that's not true
Soon after she ascends, she'll fall
And bring everyone's fate down too
I don't wish to see that, never
Thus, I'll make you all realise that
My father is the rightful one
Even if it'll take me forever
Because it's my duty...as his son
If that means I have to lie to him
I'll do it, as I know I'm in the right
I'll even kill the source of all troubles
Even if the light of my life is so dim
Even if my pain and burden doubles
I don't know why you all are so blind
Because a robot is still a robot
So all the more I have to stop this
Every chance available I shall find
None of them, I shall allow myself to miss
Until I kill that robot and succeed
No one can put a stop to my plans
My last breath will keep me going forever
If hurt, my body shall always bleed
I'll serve only one, my heart and mind together
END
