Sorry for the lackiness of my updates! I just got my reports (so crap in three areas ) then I got sick (again) and I am caught up in more work and drawing but now I'm continuing!

Octavius placed himself in front of Jack and Leech as Robo-Jack cracked his neck with a cold smile. He flexed his replaced left arm before tightening the left hand into a fist.

"Like it? Fisk fixed it for me. Now it is time for a little pay back." smirked Robo-Jack, unclenching his fist to form a tiny red energy ball, created by the electricity and fusion coil situated in his arm. Leech gave a whimper and clutched onto Jack tightly. Jack suddenly pushed Leech away as a red orb flew between them hitting and exploding a couple of crates behind them. Octavius gave a growl and whipped a tentacle at the robot. Robo-Jack dodged it by bending backwards before launching an extended arm that grabbed hold of the doctor's ankle. Octavius widened his eyes and immediately used the lower two tentacles to lift himself up. Robo-Jack followed as well, zipping up at a sudden speed that did bring some surprise to the robot. G.C. grabbed the robot by the waist and flung him across the room where he hit the wall with a crack. He slid down and met Octavius's eyes with anger.

"It will take more than that this time." the robot growled. Octavius gave a smirk and lowered himself to the ground again.

"It will take more than words to convince me." the doctor remarked back. Robo-Jack launched himself at Octavius, bouncing twice off two tentacles before delivering a spinning kick to Octavius's head. The doctor stumbled backwards as Robo-Jack gave him an uppercut before kicking him in the stomach. Hard. Octavius flew backwards and hit a crate on its edge, earning a yowl of pain from the man.

Okay we are screwed.

Not yet. We still have many tricks up our sleeves!

Octavius, using the tentacles, grabbed hold of a crate and swung it at Robo-Jack. The robot, being agile, easily dodged it but ended up getting the second crate thrown at his face. The neck snapped backwards from the impact.

The robot gave a grunt and snapped the neck back to place as Octavius sent a tentacle right into his stomach. Robo-Jack skidded across the floor, hitting the walls again. Octavius gave a cocky smile complete with a cocky pose.

"You know, you're not the only one with tentacles…" hissed Robo-Jack. Octavius tilted his head and his eyes widened as four tentacles shot out from the robot's back. They were slimmer and made of a grey metal, their heads sharper and had 4 prongs instead of three like Octavius's creations. The grey tentacles opened up like a flower but instead of the brilliant red eye that occupied the middle of the doctor's tentacles, there was nothing but darkness. No wait, something red was starting to glow in the middle of the dark abyss. Oh, it's getting brighter! Wait… oh shit.

The tentacles carried Octavius to the side as the robot's tentacles unleashed a thin red beam that connected with the wall, causing a large crater to appear in the white plaster.

Now we are officially screwed.

Octavius straightened up but had no time to react when Robo-Jack was suddenly in front of him, landing a punch on the doctor's cheek. Octavius felt searing pain on his shoulder as one of the grey tentacles slashed it. Octavius stumbled aside, clutching his bleeding shoulder as Robo-Jack let out a cold laugh in reply to Octavius's pain.

"I'm glad I'm no human. So feeble and stupid." sighed the robot, shaking his head side to side. Little did he know that Octavius was getting angrier by the second and that Jack had something horrible planned for him. Robo-Jack walked up to Octavius and used his own tentacles to pin down Octavius's. Octavius gave a growl as his tentacles squirmed under the other tentacles, causing delight in the robot. Robo-Jack raised a hand, glowing blood red, a sign it was going to burst another orb or beam that could only end in death. Robo-Jack decided with the orb option. His hand accumulated a round orb, roughly the size of a small pencil case. The robot gave another cold grin and was about to release the orb when a rock hit him on the side of his head.

"Hey Robo!"

The robot looked to the side and found Jack with a wide grin and his hand behind his back. Leech stood beside him, tossing and catching a rock.

"Calm down you will be dealt with later." Robo-Jack growled, obviously annoyed for the unnecessary interruption.

"Oh, I know. But all I want to say is…"

Jack stopped half way through his sentence to reveal what was behind his back. It was one big mothaTRUCKA gun with a lovely metallic sheen. It was quite obvious really, I mean wouldn't you have guessed that when someone has their hands behind their back and giving you a massive grin, they are actually planning on shooting you?

"SAY HELLO TO MAH LEEDLE FRIEND!!"

Jack pulled the trigger and a great blast of blue, powerful… um power shot out of the gun barrel, hitting Robo-Jack square on in the chest. His tentacles released the doctor's as the robot was sent crashing into the crates and wall. Jack lowered the gun, which required both his hands, with a smile. Leech ran towards Octavius, making Jack feel the doctor's pain for a while before it was quickly stopped when Leech was within close proximity of Octavius.

"As my mama used to say 'Beware of Greeks bearing Guns'!"

"Isn't that a movie?"

"Look I'm making a pun."

Octavius shakily got up, trying to keep his anger in check and to stop the blood in his shoulder. He looked down at the two boys with his amber eyes flared up.

"I'm not meaning to sound annoyed that you saved my life but I'm about to explode from rage by the fact I'm not the only one with tentacles." hissed Octavius. Jack gave a gulp and quickly escorted Leech away from Octavius as the doctor in question walked towards the crash-and-burn robot, grabbing it by its tentacles all in a bundle.

"I am furious." Octavius simply said and flung the robot across the room again, making it hit another wall. Robo-Jack seemed to be furious as well as his face was red with anger. The robot got up and reared his tentacles up, shooting a beam at Octavius. The doctor moved aside and continued walking towards the robot with a steady and terrifying gait. Robo-Jack looked around the room and an idea entered his head. He withdrew his own tentacles and ran towards Octavius. This surprised the doctor, making him flinch as the robot suddenly jumped on Flo before jumping off again to land behind him.

Octavius blinked with confusion standing still as he heard Robo-Jack's footsteps walk away from him. He suddenly heard a shriek and a gun go off, making him look behind him.

"Leech! RUN!"

Jack fired his gun again but Robo-Jack easily jumped away. Jack gave a tiny growl and aimed at his rebelled creation again. Robo-Jack jumped towards him but quickly moved out of the way again as the gun fired off again, not even touching the robot. Leech stared from a corner as instructed from Jack, holding his breath every time the robot was getting closer to Jack. The albino could only hold his creation for so long; the gun he had was big, making it hard to manoeuvre and Robo-Jack had the advantage of speed and agility. Stupid robot and inhuman ability…

Suddenly a click sounded from Jack's gun. That haunting sound could only mean one thing; the gun was empty of ammo. Jack stood frozen on the spot, still trying to comprehend that he had run out of ammo, he was left defenceless and the fact he couldn't see Robo-Jack. He gripped his now useless gun tighter and looked around the crates. This eerily reminded him of the showdown he had with Octavius during their first meeting except this would result in more deaths instead of a simple cat-mouse partnership. He heard scuffling behind him and looked around once again. No sign of the renegade robot, yet. He tried contacting Octavius but found a barrier and a lovely headache, which meant that Leech was with Octavius therefore blocking the connection. ARGH GODDAMMIT!!! Footsteps sounded, making Jack turn around. He saw his own creation, just standing there, looking smug and cautious at the same time.

"You've run out of ammunition." he stated. Jack managed to nod dumbly. Inwardly, his conscience was banging its head on the brain's control panel. Robo-Jack gave what seemed as a sigh of relief before advancing towards Jack. Jack simply stared as the oncoming terror walked towards in the I-am-coming-to-get-you kind of pace. His conscience was going frantic now as the brain's control panel was starting to fizz. Robo-Jack grabbed Jack's throat and hoisted him in the air, making Jack gasp for breath.

"I was going to kill that doctor first but why waste a perfect opportunity to kill you?" the robot chuckled, gripping the throat tighter. "I finally get my revenge I longed for so many years."

"What (GAAAASP!) Did I do to you? (GAAAASP!)" Jack managed to breathe out. Robo-Jack's face darkened and his spare hand started filling up with the red energy.

"Remember the day you shut me down? You placed me in that De-activation Pod and closed me down for good!" he hissed the energy growing bigger.

"You are mad at me for shutting you down?" Jack laughed. "Typical."

"That's the thing! You never did shut me down!" the robot chuckled coldly. Jack managed to raise an eyebrow.

"You pressed the wrong button." spat Robo-Jack.

"Huh?" gasped Jack. The robot gripped the neck tighter, causing Jack to claw uselessly at the hands.

"I sat in that pod for months. The button you pushed would send an electric current through my spine every time it felt energy coming from me. I sat there helpless as you went on with your daily routines of making robots, going to find the stupid artefacts and then coming back again defeated only to start the cycle all over again. You really are hopeless."

Jack looked down in Robo-Jack's eyes and saw nothing. The red eyes that were supposed to resemble his simply stared back in a look of anger yet the eyes themselves held no emotion. Jack felt pity as he wondered what it must have been like to be stuck in that pod. He had built it for his renegade robots and was designed to suck power from the machine and replace it with electricity as punishment. It would be lapses of pain then boredom then pain again.

"Sorry." he whispered. The robot actually stumbled back as the words left Jack's mouth. It looked amazed, but started giggling. It became full blown maniacal laughter that echoed throughout the room, bouncing off the white walls. They faded into nothing once again as Robo-Jack stared at Jack once again with a cold smile across the metallic face.

"You think that will be enough? One measly sorry and you are forgiven for the pain you gave me? THAT ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH JACK SPICER!!!" howled the robot. Jack tried to tilt his head back from the spare hand, which now contained a red orb, sparking with energy and electricity, a reminder of the pod.

"You know… I wasn't going to do this but you leave me no choice. Do you ever wonder about the rest of your family?" hissed Robo-Jack. Jack's face blanked out as the robot said that, making his body go limp. The gun he previously carried still hadn't left his hands and was dangling uselessly.

"I think after I'm done here I will kill the rest of your family. I'm going to torture them until they have all lost their voices. Starting with your little brother Tobio. I am going to love the way he is going to scream your name every time I break a bone in his body…"

The robot came to an abrupt stop as he felt the gun's barrel against his chest, humming with power. Jack's knuckles were whiter than before as he gripped tightly onto the gun's trigger.

"You lay one finger on my brother, I am going to fucking kill you." Jack said calmly.

"But there is no ammo in the gun!" hissed Robo-Jack.

"I just realised it is self loading."

Jack pulled the trigger and the gun unleashed a beam of bright blue energy that tore through Robo-Jack's stomach, sending waves of powerful electricity that snaked around the robot's body. Robo-Jack flew through the air like a rag doll before crashing into a bunch of crates near the wall. Jack lowered the gun, which was still humming, with a blank look on his face. Robo-Jack gave a groan as he tried to get up again but appeared that his right leg was malfunctioning. It gave a few weak jerks before finally managing to support the robot's body.

"I'm going to fucking kill you!" roared Robo-Jack. He launched himself at his creator with his fist drawn back. Jack lifted the gun up again and pulled the trigger. The gun wasn't fully charged but it managed to send out a small energy ball that caught Robo-Jack by the leg, putting him off course and skidding to the ground. The robot quickly stood up again and warily watched Jack with a look of pure anger on his face. Jack gave an equally angry expression and with his eyes followed his robot's every move. Suddenly the robot sprang forward but feinted to the right as Jack fired the gun. He spun in the air, delivering a flying kick to Jack's head, making him drop the gun. Jack felt his head spin, bringing a sudden darkness to his eyesight as his body fell to the ground from the super-human kick. He felt a foot on his chest and as his eyesight returned, he found Robo-Jack towering over him, with his foot crushing the ribs and forcing air out of his lungs.

"Scream." Robo-Jack ordered. Jack smiled and shook his head. Robo-Jack bore his lifeless red eyes into Jack's living ones and held them there for a while.

"Scream." he said again. And again Jack shook his head with a smile, making the robot madder.

"I will make you scream. I will make sure you lose your voice!" roared Robo-Jack and the tentacles shot out of his back with a deafening screech that made Jack wish he could move his hands to cover his ears. The metallic tentacles as lifeless as their owner stared down at Jack before pulling back to strike.

"TIME TO DIE!"

"Wrong."

The tentacle had already moved by the time the word 'die' had left Robo-Jack's mouth but had stopped inches from Jack's neck as another, bigger tentacle had clamped around its neck as another voice said 'wrong'. Now Robo-Jack knew why Jack was smiling. He turned around but received another tentacle in his face, sending him crashing once again to a wall. Octavius looked at the robot before looking down at Jack, still grinning like there was no tomorrow.

"What took you so long?" Jack teased as a tentacle gently lifted the boy to his feet. To the side stood Leech, clutching the edge of Octavius's trench coat with a worried smile.

"We couldn't sense you and we got lost trying to find you." explained Leech. Jack ruffled the kid's hair before staring at the robot along with Octavius.

"What do we do now?" he asked the doctor. His answer was an explosion from the robot's direction. Robo-Jack steadied himself on a nearby crate, while exploding another one nearby. It was indeed a foolhardy robot. It gasped for breath before directing an arm towards the group. It flared up with red energy, so much in fact it was melting away the white paint on the arm showing the metal beneath.

"Come on! Give it a break!" yelled Jack in exasperation.

"I won't until you two are dead!" Robo-Jack yelled back, drawing back his arm when suddenly…

BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A wall away from the four exploded sending smoke and debris to the floor. Silence settled on everyone. Robo-Jack shook his head to clear his head.

"Where was I?" he hissed. Now a sound like a jet echoed across the room accompanied by maniacal laughter. A green blur appeared out of nowhere, delivering a punch to Robo-Jack's right cheek. The robot stumbled back but managed to grab the floor with his tentacles. He looked up into his attackers face, a green mask with two large amber eyes, grinning widely showing its sharp teeth. Behind him, four other figures emerged from the smoke.

"Who are you?" spat Robo-Jack as the others emerged from the smoke. He recognised the girl but the two men and the massive green lizard remained a mystery to him. In return the one in the green mask answered with a mixture of a deep voice tainted with a croak and a young adult's laughter.

"Your worst nightmare!"

WOOT! Done!
