A/N: Sigh. Vacation's boring today, even if I have only 1 review. Oh well, reviews are but one part of the component that give us writers the motivation to write. Thanks for dropping by anyway, Nuripe-13!

Noticed that I forgot to separate the scene between the rampaging red robot and the android with a visor and a shield. I did so on this chapter and on the revised second chapter.

I guess nobody took note of my author's notes below about a fight tutorial. Sure there'll be a confrontation later in the story, but since nobody took notice of that, I'll be continuing this chapter with no such fights.

Alright! I've got no excuses for slacking off this time! I finally have a vacation from schoolwork, and I'm gonna make the most out of it!

Truth is, I've been waiting for some time to escape from all problems, sit back, and start brewing ideas in my head and put them into writing. I'm slowly steering away from angst as a source of inspiration, but that doesn't mean that I'll be independent from there. I'll still be using angst from time to time during my writings, but there'll be a new batch of ingredients that I'll be adding up to my concoction.

And, I'm not the man who'll be making promises I can't keep. Trust me, I have a lot of experience in those areas.

Now enough rambling, and let the story begin!

Previously...

Watching the scenery high atop the cliffs, an android with a visor and scarf adjusts his shield strapped on his back.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He looks upon the upcoming chaos raging from below the Metropolis, embers rising from the burnt building caused by a rampaging robots rebelling within the city.

"From wandering around the world in search of something exciting, I guess this is what I've been looking for, anyway."

He sets out to descend from the cliffs, teleporting to the scene of chaos in time.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Metropolis... a city that was bursting with activity. People walking along the sidewalks, proceeding towards their assigned jobs. Children playing in the city playground, happily engrossed in their activities with glee. Parents watching over their children from carefully placed benches, peacefully glad at the sight of their carefree children enjoying the services offered by the said center of activity.

Business was bustling in the city. People were enjoying with their lives, as if exploring the possibilities offered to the best of it.

... then, it came...

A red robot was rampaging on a nearby store, kicking over the stalls and spilling the contents racked. Blasting the signs atop the shelves, even as they fall to the ground. On the while, it was shooting at some random store patrons and workers in the store, as if they were random targets to be hit. It was cackling at the sight of the damaged and devastated establishment.

Police rushed over to the scene, hoping to stop this menacing robot from its continuing carnage. They surround the front of the store, ongoing the fleeing of the surviving shoppers rushing from the store. The police called out to the robot inside, hoping to pacify it in any way humane.

"Freeze, you robot! Step away from the old lady, and come quietly outside!"

The robot let go of the said senile individuals arms, putting it down with force that it landed on the floor on its rear with a thud. It then took notice of the humans in blue uniform, behind the police cars. It then took a glare at the one holding a megaphone, asking him to cease his rampage and come to them quietly.

Of course, he wasn't going to. He's a rampaging red robot, and nobody, not even the the enforcers of the laws of the government could tell him what to do.

Slowly, he approaches the officers, with the grim of disappointment. All these guys could dish out at him were mere handguns. Of course, he could laugh at the image of the policemen in his mind, but that makes him more enticed to beat the daylights out of these men, even pulling out a limb out or two from them. It then gave out a devilish smirk

Sensing this as a sign of provocation, one of the policemen accidentally shot the robot at its left shoulder. This was standard procedure, of course, disabling the suspect's arms so that he can't retaliate at the arresting officers. However, it didn't even took a dent on the robot's armor. Not even a scratch. Besides, the policeman, out of shock, noticed the bullet's effect, and began to feel uneasy. He pulled the trigger at the robot suspect out of fear, and began to disregard the superior officers' order at the instant. The others took notice of this, and told the nervous policeman to stay at ease, and don't shoot at the suspect unless told to. The said policeman nodded in affirmation.

The robot took notice of the projectile's aim at its left shoulder, and dusted off its left shoulder where the bullet made its impact. It then took a gaze at the officer who made that shot at his upper joints. A grin began to form across his face as he approaches the human who attempted to shoot him.

The policemen took notice of the red robot slowly approaching their location, and after about 10 minutes, one of the superiors ordered the rest to fire at the incoming sentinel. Bullets them came at a volley of fire at the robot, each blast from the firearms at an almost synchronized pattern. Every shot was aimed at the robot, hoping to pacify him, and disable his efforts to approach them.

After a call of ceasefire from the commanding officer, everyone stopped firing, surveying the damage left by the volley. Miraculously, none of the bullets even seem to faze him, much less stop him from coming towards the line of police cars surrounding the store. This caused him to quicken his pace, and do damage on the officers who fired at and attempted to disable him.

A/N: My first cliffhanger. Yeah, I placed it at the climax of the chapter, but it helps me to draw the plot clearer and more precise so that I can begin the next chapter right away.

Expect for the next update to be really slow, because by the next day (tomorrow) I'll be out of my computer, and taking some time off somewhere. Maybe a summer beach or just another enclosed space, but who knows.

Anyway, see you guys soon, and remember: Help this bara-bara writer write good fanfics!
