It's a lovely day outside, with birds singing and flowers blooming. Days like this are ideal for scouring the Boiling Beach for human items that have washed ashore. Eda, the most powerful witch in the Boiling Isles, is accompanied by her pupil Luz and King her pet. The group is searching the seashore for anything of value until something catches their eye.
A metal arm protrudes from the white sand. Luz uses all of her power to get it out, but it won't budge. They were able to remove the arm by using Eda's powers. To their surprise, it was a damaged upper body of a cyclops robot dressed in ragged garments, not simply an arm.
Luz:" Wow now that's something you don't see every day."
Eda:" Luz, you a human you should know how this thing works right?"
Luz shakes her head:" I recognize this call. A robot. But I've never seen anything like that before. We hardly manage to make one."
King inspects the remainder of the metal robot. He noticed it has a button on its backpack. Luz took interest and out of curiosity, she pressed it.
"System... Bzzz... Failure... Scbzzz..." The robot tries its best to speak.
The trio jumps back. Eda:" Stay behind me kids. "
"Wait, Eda. We should give it a chance. Maybe it is harmless. It just needs some help." Luz stands in front of Eda.
Luz wiped off all the dust on the robot. Suddenly. "Commencing recall protocol." A blinding light flashes from the robot. When the light is gone so do Luz and the broken bot.
Luz blinks open her eyes. She was no longer on the Boiling Isles, but in a sea of golden sand stretching over the horizon. A metal door was embedded in the mountains in front of her. The door swung open, revealing a flying cube.
"Please remove the battery and insert it into the nearest repair station." Said the cube.
The metal man lifts its chest to display its inner workings. In the center of it was a small gleaming capsule. Luz doesn't entirely comprehend what's going on, but her guts tell her to aid this unfortunate thing.
Luz pulls the capsule out:" Don't worry little buddy I will fix you right up."
While pursuing the cube, Luz discovered many strange wonders she had never seen before. On the ceiling, production lines of robots come to a halt. Robots of various sizes and shapes sat dormant on the cold, hard ground. Everything seemed to be frozen in time. She questions the cube, but it does not respond.
When they arrived at their destination, they found an enormous wrecked chamber filled with robot corpses that had been chopped in half and others that had been ripped apart. Many holes on the wall could not be formed by a human hand. It was enormous. There was a seemingly intact capsule in the middle of it. Luz walked in for a closer look, and as she drew closer, the capsule opened, revealing a small opening that fit the cyclops robot's batteries.
Luz places the battery inside. The ground began to rumble, as several one-eye robots crawled up from the ground. Luz panicked and began to run, but it was futile. The door has been securely shut, and the robots are coming. One of them extends its arm, ready to strike.
?:" Handoff. You tin can." A blue light knocks out the robot attempting to strike Luz.
A humanoid-like entity comprised of pure energy stood in front of Luz. It wore a modern costume that included an oversized jacket, gloves, and shoes. The being's head was hidden behind a cracked mask, and the rest of it was bathed in pure blue light.
One by one, the robots charged in and were smashed into pieces. Some were shot with blue illumination, while others were ripped apart by the entity. Luz takes a chance and flees through a gap left by the conflict. Runabout aimlessly. She stepped onto a shaky floor, which collapsed and took her with it. She had just realized that this was the end. The blue entity rushes in and grabs her by the arms and carries her to safety.
"That was closed, you should watch where you are going." said the blue entity
Luz regaining her breathe:" Thank you... What are you, anyway? Why are they after me?"
The blue monster landed Luz securely. A massive metal hand broke through the wall and grabbed the blue thing before it could answer Luz's queries. The adolescent girl pursues them. When she discovered them, the creature was engaged in battle with a larger version of the cyclops robot. Both kick, punch, and block were evenly matched until an opening was left for the giant. Taking advantage of the situation, the giant crushed its hand with all its strength, but the entity then vanished. The behemoth, perplexed, investigated its surroundings but was unable to locate its intended objective. The robot begins to jitter violently, sending sparks and steam out of its body. Finally, the behemoth disintegrates, and the entity emerges with a cube in its grasp.
"These things are so predictable." "When are they going to upgrade this waste of rubbish anyway?" the thing said as it devoured the cube.
"So let's get out of here before more of them come." the blue entity says to the teenage girl.
The being walked away, and Luz quickly followed. They entered another room with a computer and a pad in the center.
"Where are we heading?" While turning on the equipment, the being inquires.
"Boiling Isles. How are we going to get there?" Luz is perplexed.
"Teleport."
Both of them vanish from the room with the press of a button. Returning to the Boiling Isles. Luz was astounded by what she had been through. There are numerous questions to be answered. What did she discover? What kind of society was that? And, most importantly, who or what is this blue being?
"This is the Boiling Isles... look... Outdated." The being said.
