Party:
R.O.B., The Last of His Kind
.
R.O.B. awoke from sleep mode. He scanned the area around him. Completely dark. He can feel that he is tipped over.
R.O.B. pushed himself upright, although it was harder than normal.
"Where... Where am I?" R.O.B. thought to himself. He turned on his head light to illuminate his surroundings.
"...Something isn't right." R.O.B. thought to himself. He looked down at himself. He was made of plastic.
"I'm in Real Life? How did this happen?" R.O.B. thought. The last thing he could remember was roaming around in the Wrecking Crew universe, before getting blasted by a beam of light.
"Did... Did I die? What happened?" R.O.B. thought.
R.O.B. looked around himself. Cardboard boxes and old furniture illuminated by his red light.
"Owner... did you put me into storage?" R.O.B. thought. "I have to get to the bottom of this."
R.O.B. started up his treads. Having been powered-down for quite some time, it took a while to start up. R.O.B. weakly rolled his way to the door.
R.O.B. looked at the formidible steel door sealing him in. He bent over and tried lifting the door, but found that he was too weak.
"My physical body is so weak..." R.O.B. thought. He pretended to sigh, since he can't really sigh.
R.O.B. looked up. The world was so large compared to him. Having spent most of his time in the virtual world, he wasn't used to having everything be so big.
"There must be another way out." R.O.B. thought. He looked up and spotted a window. "Perhaps that window could be of use."
R.O.B. arranged some empty cardboard boxes into a stair-shape. He used his weak arms to slowly pull himself up to the window. He pulled the window open, rolled to the edge, and looked down.
"The world is so unforgiving to toys..." R.O.B. thought. Having no other option, he rolled over the edge and fell down onto the concrete.
Pieces of plastic chipped off of R.O.B.. He pushed himself upright. "No time for repairs."
R.O.B. rolled through the front gates of the facility. "I still can't believe owner put me into a storage unit..."
R.O.B., now on the sidewalk of an unknown street, looked side to side. "Where... do I go now? Where does owner live?"
Having no way of knowing which way to go, R.O.B. picked a direction and went with it.
.
5 hours later
.
R.O.B. rolled West. He kept going West. For hours and hours on end. He kept going until he reached a desert.
"Battery... running... low..." R.O.B. observed. Tired, he looked around, and saw a Motel in the middle of the desert.
R.O.B. set course for the motel. "Must... recharge..."
.

.
R.O.B. rolled up to the front door. He pushed it slightly open and saw a clerk at the counter. R.O.B. didn't want to be spotted, but he really needed electricity.
R.O.B. quietly nudged the door open. He slowly rolled along the wall, hoping to not be seen.
"Hey..." the clerk said. R.O.B. froze in fright.
The clerk walked up to the front door. "Who left the front door open?"
R.O.B. pretended to have a sigh of relief. He continued to roll his way into a hallway.
R.O.B. looked up at the doors. He knows he must pick an empty room, as to not get spotted. R.O.B. rolled up close to a door and tried peeking through the door crack to check for vacancy. The room was taken.
R.O.B. rolled up to the second door and checked for vacancy. It was also taken.
R.O.B. pretended to gulp. He rolled up to the final door and checked for vacancy.
"Wait. They're ALL taken?!" R.O.B. thought to himself.
Suddenly, the door R.O.B. was at opened up. The resident walked through the hallway, apparently having not seen R.O.B.
Desperate, R.O.B. darted into the room. He quickly spotted the nearest power outlet and stuck his hand in it.
"Ahh... Electricity..." R.O.B. thought to himself.
Suddenly, R.O.B. heard the door closing. Alarmed, R.O.B. turned around and saw that the resident has come back from the lobby. He then sat down on his couch and started eating a croissant, apparently still not having seen R.O.B.
R.O.B. quickly unplugged himself and darted under the bed. "He's back already?!" R.O.B. thought to himself.
The resident took out his TV remote and turned on the TV.
"I gotta get outta here! But..." R.O.B. thought to himself. He looked at the HUD in his vision. Only 40% battery life. That's probably not enough to cut it. R.O.B.'s eyes looked longingly at the power outlet. He then looked at the resident. Completely distracted by the TV. R.O.B. looked back at the power outlet. This was his chance.
R.O.B. quietly rolled over to the power outlet, making sure to not make ANY sound. He then stuck his hand in the outlet, absorbing the electricity, letting it flow through his whole body. R.O.B.'s eyes rolled back into his head. It felt so good.
"HEY!" exclaimed a loud voice. "What the heck is that?!"
R.O.B.'s eyes shot open. The resident has noticed him.
"Get over here, ya little weirdo!" the resident exclaimed, trying to pick up R.O.B.
R.O.B. unplugged himself from the outlet with 70% battery. Not quite full, but it'll do. He quickly rolled out of the way, dodging the resident's hand.
"Whaddaya think yer doin'?!" The resident exclaimed as he chased after R.O.B.
R.O.B., terrified, rolled away as fast as he could. Pushing open the door and rolling through the hallway, attracting a lot of attention from the other guests. Finally, R.O.B. reached the lobby, where the clerk caught sight of the little robot.
"The heck is that?" The clerk commented.
R.O.B. dashed out of the front door, escaping the humans. He rolled into the night on the rough, course sand.
When R.O.B. was sure that he lost the humans, he checked his battery. The chase took a lot out of him. He was now only at 51%. R.O.B. pretended to sigh. "I'm going to have to make the most of my battery..."
.
2 days later...
.
R.O.B. rolled through the streets of downtown. Luckily, no one was around.
"Owner... where are you?" R.O.B. thought to himself. R.O.B. pretended to sigh. He leaned on the side of a building and closed his eyes. Would he ever find his way home?
Suddenly, R.O.B. was attacked. R.O.B.'s eyes shot open, but his vision was covered by burlap.
"Haha, yeah! What a great find!" Exclaimed a voice
"A little scuffed, but it works." Commented a second voice.
R.O.B. panicked. What was happening? Who were these voices? "Help!" R.O.B. tried to yell. But he could not yell, for he had no mouth.

R.O.B. woke up. He was surrounded by soft, squishy objects in the dark. R.O.B. tried to move around, revealing that he was in a cardboard box full of packing peanuts. He rolled his way out of the box.
R.O.B. looked around. He was in some fort of shipping container.
"I hope we haven't left shore yet..." R.O.B. thought. He pushed open the door of the shipping container, and rolled onto a deck of a ship. "Ah. Of course. It can never be that easy..."
A sailor caught sight of R.O.B.
"Hey, that toy's escaping!" the sailor exclaimed.
A group of sailors then ran up to R.O.B.
"Uhmm... Oh no." R.O.B. thought to himself. He rolled as fast as his treads could allow, zipping all across the ship. The sailors were right on his trail, never losing sight of him. But in the end, the sailors cornered R.O.B.
"This is it, little robot. Either you come with us, or you walk the plank!" a sailor exclaimed.
R.O.B. looked at the sailors. Then at the ocean. Then at the sailors again. Then at the ocean again. R.O.B. then dove into the ocean.
"Wha- Hey! I was joking!" the sailor complained.
R.O.B. sank deeper and deeper into the ocean. He flailed hs arms around in an attempt to swim, but to no avail.
R.O.B.'s vision flickered out, as he lost conciousness.
.

R.O.B. slowly opened his eyes. He slowly sat up, still dizzy from the water.
"Oh. You're up." said a voice.
R.O.B. looked over and saw a fisherman. "Saw you washed up on the beach. So I picked you up and fixed you good."
R.O.B. is wary of this human.
"Oh, no need to be scared of me, mate! I'm a friend!" The fisherman said.
R.O.B. lowered his guard.
The fisherman looked over at a framed photo of a golden retriever. "And... I guess I could use a friend myself."
R.O.B. shook his head. He pointed out the window.
"Oh. You already have an owner, eh?" The fisherman said. "I understand. We all have our own journies."
R.O.B. hopped off the table and rolled his way to the front door. Before he left, he turned to face the fisherman and waved goodbye. R.O.B. then left the cabin.
The fisherman somberly smiled.

R.O.B. rolled through the city.
"Oh owner. Where are you?" R.O.B. thought to himself.
R.O.B. felt something small hit his head. He looked up. It was hailing.
"Oh no. Hail!" R.O.B. thought. He rolled quickly to try to find cover, but he wasn't quick enough. A large ice ball hit R.O.B.'s left eye, completely destroying it.
R.O.B.'s HUD began flashing red. The beeping sound that only he could hear constantly getting louder, warning him about the damages he already knows about.
"No! No! No! No! No!" R.O.B. thought to himself. He darted into an alleyway and hid under a windowsill.
R.O.B. put his hand where his left eye was. There was nothing there anymore. R.O.B.'s remaining eye widened in shock. R.O.B. pretended to breathe heavily.
"My eye... It's gone..." R.O.B. thought to himself. R.O.B. looked at the hail. The ice balls were way too big.
"It's not stopping anytime soon, you know." said a female voice.
R.O.B. turned around and saw a black cat. She walked up to R.O.B.
"In this part of the country, it hails non-stop." the cat explained. "There's no way you're getting through that storm."
R.O.B. looked down in disappointment.
"Although... I can get you to where you wanna go." The cat suggested. "For a price, of course."
R.O.B. shook his head.
"...no? What do you mean, no?" The cat asked. "Look at yourself. A plastic toy. You don't stand a chance on your own!"
R.O.B. was about to respond, but couldn't think of anything. After a few seconds, he nodded.
"I'll take that as a yes." The cat said. She then took out a scroll and shoved it into the hands of R.O.B.
"Follow the map. Bring back the item. Be quick." The cat instructed.
R.O.B. opened the scroll. On it was a roughly drawn map, leading into the woods. Having no other choice, R.O.B. set off.
.

.
R.O.B. arrived into the woods. The trees protected R.O.B. from the heavy weather. He took out the map and took a closer look. The item should be somewhere around here...
"What're you doin'?" Asked a gruff voice. Startled, R.O.B. looked up and saw a huge bear.
R.O.B., scared, slowly backed off a few steps. The bear, who caught sight of R.O.B.'s map, snatched it. The bear then took a close look at the map.
"Oh. I see. Cat sent ya." the bear said.
R.O.B. meekly nodded.
"In that case..." the bear said. He then kicked R.O.B. to the ground. "Get outta here. We don't take kindly to strangers 'round here."
R.O.B., in great pain, could not move.
"Did you not hear me? I said... GET OUTTA HERE!" The bear roared. He kicked R.O.B. a second time, making R.O.B. lose his right arm.
"Tch. Weakling." The bear said. He then turned around and went back into his cave.
R.O.B. layed down on the ground in pain for 17 minutes and 32 seconds. He weakly pushed himself upright with his remaining arm. R.O.B. pretended to cry in pain.
"Why... Why was I programmed to be able to feel pain..." R.O.B. thought to himself.
R.O.B. rolled over to his right arm and reattached it to his shoulder. R.O.B. stood there, contemplating his next move. He put his hand where his left eye was, remembering the heavy hailstorm that robbed R.O.B. of half his vision.
"I... I must complete my mission." R.O.B. thought to himself. He looked at the bear's cave. "I must."
R.O.B. rolled into the cave. The bear was sleeping on his pile of honey. R.O.B. scanned the area, detecting a ruby. R.O.B. rolled over and picked up the ruby.
Suddenly, the bear awoke. "What the- HEY!" The bear exclaimed. He walked up to R.O.B.
"What're ya-" the bear began to say, before getting interuppted.
R.O.B. held the ruby high up and slammed it down onto the bear's foot.
"YOWZA!" The bear exclaimed in pain.
R.O.B. then rolled away, back to the city.

The cat sat on top of a dumpster, sharpening her claws with a shard of glass. Hearing a mechanical whirring noise, she turned around.
"Oh, THERE you are! I was beginning to think you ditched me!" The cat said. "Now, you have the goods?"
R.O.B. handed over the ruby.
"Ahh, yes! My precious ruby!" The cat drooled.
The cat hugged the large ruby with her entire body.
R.O.B. squinted and pointed at the sky.
"Oh, right. Your thing. Here." The cat tossed a trash can lid at R.O.B.
"All that for a lid?" R.O.B. thought to himself. He pretended to sigh in anger before placing the lid on his head and leaving.

2 day Timeskip
.
R.O.B. hid in the back room of a McDonald's and looked around for a power outlet. With only 30% battery left, he was sure to run out sooner or later. He activated his auditory scanners, but could not hear anything over the loud humans.
"Yeah, I'll get uhhh... A McChicken and a Coke." said a voice from the other room.
"Wait..." R.O.B. thought to himslef. "OWNER?!"
R.O.B. forgot about the power outlet and darted to the counter. He peered over and saw his owner, clear as day.
R.O.B. began waving furiously to try to get his attention.
"Owner, it's me, R.O.B.!" R.O.B. thought to himself.
The McDonald's employee handed R.O.B.'s owner his order, then he left the building.
"No! Owner! Don't leave me!" R.O.B. thought to himself.
R.O.B. darted through the building, not caring if anyone sees him anymore. He pushed through the front door, and saw his owner start the car.
"Owner!" R.O.B. yelled in his head. He dashed forwards and grabbed the car bumper right as the car started driving.
The car started, with R.O.B. dangling on the back. R.O.B. pulled himself up onto the roof of his owner's SUV. R.O.B. looked around. They were already on the road. R.O.B. needed to be careful.
R.O.B. rolled over to the sunroof and started banging on it as hard as he could. "OWNER! LET ME IN!" R.O.B. yelled in his head. But his owner could not hear his efforts, as the radio was on.
While R.O.B. was distracted by the sunroof, a random bird swooped down and grabbed R.O.B. R.O.B. flailed as hard as he could. "Let go of me, you little avian creature!"
R.O.B. struck the bird's talon, forcing it to let go of R.O.B. R.O.B. fell down, luckily onto a car. R.O.B. looked forwards.
"Oh no... Am I seriously on the car behind owner's car?!" R.O.B. thought to himself. R.O.B. looked down at the road. It was dizzyingly fast. R.O.B. could not get off.
R.O.B. looked around for items. He spotted a ladder on top of the car. "Perfect!" R.O.B. thought to himself. He unlatched the ladder, and painstakingly pushed it into position. As he was about to push the ladder down onto his owner's car, the cars changed lanes, seperating R.O.B. from his owner's car.
"NO!" R.O.B. yelled in his head. It seemed hopeless. He looked up at the sky for inspiration.
"Wait, that's it!" R.O.B. thought. He waved his arms with rhythym, attracting attention.
"Hey avians! Look at me!" R.O.B. thought. A random eagle swooped down and picked up R.O.B., flying eastwards torwards R.O.B.'s owner's car.
"Yes!" R.O.B. thought. He looked down. When he was directly above the car, he started trashing his body, forcing the eagle to let go, dropping R.O.B. onto the vehicle.
"Alright!" R.O.B. yelled in his head.
.
10 minutes later
.
R.O.B.'s owner stepped out of the vehicle. He was about to head into his apartment building, when he noticed something on top of his car.
"Oh. R.O.B." He said, picking R.O.B. up. "Did you come all this way to see me?"
R.O.B. happily waved his arms about.
R.O.B.'s owner smiled. The two of them entered the apartment.
R.O.B. caught sight of the TV. His one remaining eye widened in shock. Galeem and Dharkon. Maniacally laughing. The fictional world, destroyed.
"Owner! Owner! We have to help them!" R.O.B. yelled in his head, waving his arms about.
"Hehe, yeah. Love you too, R.O.B." R.O.B.'s owner said. He then went to bed.
R.O.B. looked at the TV. All of his friends. Everyone of Super Smash Bros. Dead.
"That's... That's why I was sent here!" R.O.B. realised. "My fictional body died, so my conciousness had to occupy my real body!"
"But that means... No... Everyone is dead..." R.O.B. thought. He looked at the controller. "I have to help them!"

R.O.B. attached the robot accesories to the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller. He picked up one of his gyros.
"BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! WARNING, LOW BATTERY!" buzzed R.O.B.'s alarm. He looked at his HUD. only 5% battery left.
"I'll have to be quick, then." R.O.B. thought. He rotated his arms to the left.
4% battery.
R.O.B. lowered his arms, lowering the gyro into the gyro spinner
3% battery.
R.O.B. raised his arms, raising the gyro out of the spinner.
2% battery.
R.O.B. rotated his arms to the right, above the power button.
1% battery.
R.O.B. lowered his arms, pressing the gyro onto the power button, resetting the game.
0% battery. Shutting down.
"I did it, everyone." R.O.B. thought as he powered down.
