So much for being peaceful, I thought to myself as I sighed in exasperation from thinking about hurting Elecman. That moment reminded me about the mission. I never wanted to do it, but this could be my only ticket to freedom from Topman.
Fourteen years ago, after I got these new modifications, I had to repay him somehow. So I promised eternal loyalty and obedience to him. He liked the idea and said powerful words that have stuck to my mind ever since, "You may not be as agile nor as graceful anymore, but you have the intelligence, the senses, the skills, like that of a wolf's. But you have the physical strength that ranks much higher than that of a bear's. You make—no, you are a powerful, killing machine! You'll make a wonderful and loyal dog to me." So, here I am, like a dog on a very painful leash, with Topman as my cruel, selfish owner.
While thinking of Elecman, Cutman walked by me gloomily, dragging Fireman's unmoving body along. I wanted to ask what happened, but it seemed obvious that he doesn't want to talk about it. I just stared at the unconscious red and gray robot on his back. Which reminded me of something.
The mission was to kill Cutman, not protect him, I thought of what Topman would say if he finds me with him. You have all this strength—this power! —Yet you can't even harm a scrawny, outdated Robot Master! You disgust me, Gem. You just disgust me.
Not wanting to think about him any more than I have to almost every day, I started wondering if Elecman is still alive. I ran back to the alley, although my heavy body slowed me down. When I reached the alley, I noticed Elecman, without his helmet, but with a large gash through his stomach, and a bloodstained Rolling Cutter not too far from him. I stroked his long, blue hair and the grayish white streak with my fingers while I tried to remove the blood from his stomach area with my other hand. My hand moved up towards his chest armor, until I reached underneath it.
Something feels… Sort of weird about this area, I thought to myself as I slipped the armor from his body. Staring in shock at this surprise, I held Elecman's almost bare body in my arms, covering any parts not meant to be seen, along with the unconscious Robot Master's armor on my right shoulder, and tried to catch up with Cutman.
When I finally reached where Cutman last was, I barely noticed him standing there, and I crashed into him. After I got off of him, he asked, "Why are you in a rush? It's almost like you just saw…" He trailed off his sentence to notice Elecman's naked body lying on my arms. "Elecman…" He suddenly stared at the upper body closely in surprise. "Is female?"
I nodded slowly as I carefully slipped the cloth part of her armor over her body. A few minutes later, after I finished clothing Elecman, her eyes opened. "Where… Where am I?" She turned to see me, then looked over to Cutman, who spoke Spanish seemingly nonstop in a very traumatized and shocked tone. She laughed at Cutman's foreign rants and said in a calm manner, "If it's about me being a girl, it's nothing to worry about. Sometimes I don't even notice. In fact, there are a lot of things I don't know about myself. Like…" She stared into space for a moment before continuing, "I guess I don't even know the questions to them." She chuckled at the absurdity of her remark.
Cutman stopped rambling and he said, his words sound light and airy, "But… How come I didn't know this? Why didn't you tell me when you did know?"
Elecman smiled at him. "I guess… I just didn't feel like it when I did." Then she grabbed Cutman's arm, bringing him close to her, then she started to remove his helmet. The front part of the helmet swooshed off to the side immediately, revealing Cutman's tanned skin, at the color of sand wet from the ocean water, and strands of pure red bangs. Elecman removed his helmet entirely, showing straight, red hair that had grown slightly past his shoulders. Then her lips touched his, as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
I watched the friendly couple as they kissed, blushing a bit. They would've been a fine couple… If only Cutman didn't have that crush on Heatman. A moment later, the two stopped kissing.
Just then, a young girl's voice asked as a white hand tapped my shoulder, "Excuse me. Mister Gemmy?" I raised my pointed, wolf-like ears, which were hiding under my hair, and turned my head. The owner of the voice looked like a very chubby young girl with red hair, green eyes, and with the cloth part of her armor red and gray, the armor on her arms were red, as well as her boots, but they have a golden band at the opening. In some terms, she looks like Crashman, but female and plumper than her helmeted counterpart. "Um… I lost my brother—again. And a while ago, I saw him go this-and-that-away. And, well, you know. So, as a friend, I ask you: Have you seen my brother… Crashman?"
I nodded in certainty as Cutman said, "He's with Bombman and the others." He pointed to the direction behind him. "Last time I checked, they should be going that way."
The girl smiled happily, looking even cuter than before. "Thank you, Mr. Cutty!" Cutman blushed at the thought of his recently received nickname. She looked towards Elecman, then just noticing her small set of breasts. "Well, at least I know now that not all of Light's robots are female besides Roll." Looking up to her face and blushing, the girl said joyfully before leaving, "Well, bye-bye, Ms. Leccy!"
Elecman waved at the girl and replied, "Bye, Heatman!" She put her hand down and looked towards Cutman. "She's a very nice girl. I don't even remember why I used to be jealous of her. Now that I got that off of my chest." She gave his helmet back to Cutman and walked away, which eventually became running.
Cutman put on his helmet, looked down, and blushed. "That… Was quite a strange scene. I wonder what was with the kiss."
I put my hand on his head. "Cutman, can't you see it? I think she actually likes you."
