Chapter Fifteen: A new home

"Are we there yet?" asked Albert.

"We get there when we get there!" said Dr. Heinous.

The ship had been travelling through space for two hours. Heinous had managed to change the pekbot's settings. Albert had changed his trousers.

"What do you wanna watch, Albert?"

"This ship has a holovid?" asked Albert.

"Of course," Heinous replied.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier, sir?"

"You never asked, Albert."

Albert groaned. "No thank you, sir. I don't feel like watching the holovid right now."

"Are you sure? The Florana Demolition Derby will start in five minutes."

"I'm sure, sir."

Twenty minutes later, Heinous pulled out a microphone. "Attention, all passengers," he said, "please buckle up, because we're at our destination."

In the front screen was a view of Planet Horax. The whole planet was dark brown in colour and had a big chunk of itself missing.

"Let's put the shield on," said Heinous, "don't want to burn up in the atmosphere."

"The planet has an atmosphere?" asked Albert.

"Yep. I have no idea why. Also, it still has its gravity."

The ship blasted towards the barren planet. The walls were turning red from the heat. At first, the planet was just brown, but as the vessel got closer, more features could be seen.

Suddenly, the ship stopped and hovered above the ground. The vessel's legs came out. No long after that, the ship landed. The door opened and thirteen robots exited.

The surroundings were as barren as surroundings could get. The dark brown soil was hard and infertile. The sky was dark violet with some patches of outer space. There wasn't a tree in site. Actually, the whole area was just one flat desert. However, a small city displayed itself in the distance.

Albert was transfixed in the scenery and didn't notice his master walk off. "Perfect," said Heinous, snapping Albert out of his trance, "they'll build the base right here."

"How big is this base going to be, sir?" asked Albert, walking to his master.

"Very," said Heinous. "Trooper, come here." A trooper marched to Dr. Heinous. "Bring me the pekbot." The trooper saluted and ran to the ship. A minute later, the trooper came out, holding the pekbot with both hands. The robot set it down next to Heinous. Heinous pressed a few unseen buttons and took three steps back.

Ten metal spheres were shot out from the device. The spheres quickly turned into constructobots.

(Author's Note: If you have Ratchet and Clank 3, you should know what constructobot looks like)

"Albert, get this, I have a radio link with these robots; I can make them do what I want," said Heinous.

"Nice," said Albert.

"Listen, constructobots," said Heinous. Every constructobot stood up straight, awaiting instructions. "I want you to build me more of yourselves and then build this base," Heinous took out a folded piece of blue paper. He then unfolded it. This was one big piece of paper. "Scan these plans into your robotic minds and pass it on to those who you create. "Use any resource you can find there, build vehicles to make things easier," Heinous pointed to the abandoned city, "and build, build, BUILD!"

Heinous held out the blue prints towards the constructobots. Yellow light shot out from the robots' eyes, onto the plans. After the scanning was complete, the constructobots saluted and began marching towards the city.

"Three more things," called Heinous. The constructobots turned around. "I wan the base to be built right here," he pointed to the spot where he was standing, "I'll be leaving for a while, so in my absence, follow what this guy says until I return," Heinous pointed to Albert. "Lastly, I want the base to be coloured orange." The constructobots saluted and kept walking to the city.

Heinous started walking to his cargo ship. "See you, Albert, I'll be back soon. Come, troopers. And bring the pekbot." The troopers picked up the pekbot and marched towards the ship. "Come, Sandy," Sandy ran to the ship.

"Bye, sir. Good luck," said Albert.

The ship's door closed, and shortly after, the ship left the planet, heading for Planet Koros.

Don't flame just yet. The next chapter will contain some action. Until then, please review.
