Chapter 14
"What do you mean, 'she's a robot?'" Sportacus asked Doctor Melior.
"Just what I said; this girl isn't real. She's made of metal and other artificial components." The doctor explained.
"But how is that possible?" Stephanie asked.
"Simple. Watch." Doctor Melior put his finger on the poked the back of Rose's neck and a mechanical whirring sound revealed a panel that opened all by itself. There inside the hidden compartment was a large red switch.
Sportacus and Stephanie stood in complete silence. They were trying to understand what was going on.
"Who created her?" The above average hero asked.
"I don't know but they did a very good job." Doctor Melior answered.
"Why did they create her?" Stephanie asked.
"Another good question." The doctor said.
"What was she doing up in that tree?" Sportacus asked another question. Everyone in the room shook their heads. No one knew the answers to those questions.
"Maybe Pixel can help." Stephanie finally suggested.
"That's a great idea, Stephanie. Thanks you Doctor." Sportacus picked up Rose and carried her out toward Pixel's house while Stephanie tried to keep up.
WWWWWWWWWWW
Robbie watched the above average hero and pink haired girl run toward Pixel's house. He scowled at the fact that his plan had failed miserably. Soon they might be able to connect him to the robot and then Sportacus would come for him.
"I fried her chips but that Poodle can recover all sorts of things with his darn technology." Then another idea occurred to him.
"The self-destruct mechanism." Robbie smiled and ran over to his big fuzzy orange chair. On the stand next to it was Rose's remote.
"I press the right key combination and Rose will destroy herself and anyone within a five foot radius will be destroyed too." Robbie stopped for a second. He wanted Sportacus to leave LazyTown but was killing him going to really help?
WWWWWWWWWWW
"Wow!" Pixel remarked.
"Can you tell us who made her?" Sportacus asked.
"Let me see." The Gizmo Guy grabbed a screwdriver off the table near him and unscrewed the screws in the hidden compartment. Once he did that, Pixel could see a bunch of wires. Some looked fried and others looked to be intact.
"From the looks of things the primary wires are still allowing the robot to function but the secondary wires appear to be singed." He said.
"In English?" Stephanie asked.
"The main wires that keep her functioning on the lowest level of power are still in good shape. Unfortunately, the 'brain' wires appear to be destroyed." Pixel explained.
"Do you think you could get them to work again?" Sportacus wondered.
"I'm going to plug her into my computer and run a diagnostic program. Hopefully I can see what is wrong and possibly repair it." He said. Both Sportacus and Stephanie looked confused but the Gizmo Guy just started to attach wires and other things to read in what condition the robot was in and to see if he could save anything good.
To Be Continued…
Just to let you know, I don't think I'll be able to post until Sunday or possibly Monday. Thanks for your patience.
