Chapter 7 of Robot Apocalypse. Enjoy!

The world watched in agony and horror as television broadcasts of all kinds showed fire and destruction of major cities infected by huge robots. One of them showing a red flying girl in one city part of all of this mayhem.

Tobey! Please don't do this! Begged Wordgirl as she flew over to him.

Tobey was standing on the tallest building in all of Fair City and half of the city was in ruins. Tobey mocked at Wordgirls plea and pressed a button on his remote.

Tobey NO!

With that, at least 10 major cities have now experienced a nuclear blast firsthand.

Wordgirl was just about to pick up Tobey and throw him off the building but a robot grabbed her before she could get Tobey.

"HAHAHAHA!" Laughed Tobey.

He pressed another button on his remote.

Tobey! Please!

The grip became tighter and tighter on Wordgirl.

Don't! ….. do….. this …. …. to ….

…me …

AAAAHHHHHHHHH!

Becky Botsford woke up screaming and panting from her pink sheets and couldn't control it that she immediately got up and went to the bathroom downstairs to splash some water on her face. Her eyes were red and she was still in her pajamas. She looked herself into the mirror and let out a soft sigh of relief.

It was only a dream

Becky rubbed her eyes and turned off the lights and went back upstairs to her bedroom. She's surprised no one heard her shout like that , not even Bob. Becky noticed it was 2:00 AM in the morning. She just had another nightmare but this was one was different. Becky noticed that up to now all her dreams had to do with Tobey missing some love in his life that he desperately wanted to capture and cherish. The last nightmare had to do something with robots attacking and a failed relationship. This dream was different. It was more dark, felt more real, apocalyptical, tragic, and Wordgirl … probably died? Becky didn't like this at all. She couldn't understand why she would have a dream like this. She couldn't understand why she was having any dreams related to Tobey. Perhaps it was just anxiety or maybe was her brain and thoughts trying to tell her something more meaningful? It was hard to determine this.

I need to go back to sleep

During the next day, some fisherman off the coast near Fair City were on a boat roughly 35 miles away from the shoreline. They wanted to catch some fish and sell them to the market. Mostly they wanted money .

"Well today looks like a good day to catch some darn fish!" exclaimed a chubby dirty fisherman with a grey hat.

"Yeah looks like it. Haven't eaten fish since … this morning" said his partner William.

"Shut up William! You are going to scare away the fish!" he fired back at William as he geared up his fishing equipment. He had a fishing pole set and ready.

"The motor is causing more noise than me you twit!" said William.

"Stop the boat!

The yacht sized motor boat came to a sudden halt almost throwing the chubby fisherman offboard.

"Whats going on?" asked William.

The chubby fisherman looked out into the waters close to them and was shocked to see to what appeared to be hundreds of dead fish floating above the waters.

"What the?"

What! Shouted William.

He was by the chubby fisherman's side and noticed what he was noticing. He gasped.

"Well… there goes our catch for the day".

Becky Botsford wasted no time in pretending to be sick so she should could stay home from school when she woke up. Her parents, as usual, fell for her "trick". When her parents left for work she prepared herself as WordGirl to do some investigating. Bob wanted to go to but Wordgirl wouldn't allow it. Wordgirl explained it was a "personal issue" that didn't have to do with fighting crime. Still, Bob wanted to come and this angered Wordgirl. After 20 minutes of bickering Bob finally agreed to stay. Wordgirl told to Bob "don't worry, I will be back soon but this is personal. I'm sorry" and with that she flew out of her room window.

In Brains evil lair, he in conducting a massive weaponized Ray of some cheesy sorts. The only problem is that it is malfunctioning and needs some modifications.

"Gah! Why won't this thing work? It is missing something!"

Brains wanted to create a Ray that could throw an impretrentable beam of photons, electrons, and neutrons that would effectively be anti-matter and dissolve most, if not all, physical materialistic objects. So far it could work with certain metals such as steel, iron, lead, and Titanium. The beam is ineffective with other strong metals. This is because the tensile and compressive strength is too high on certain metals. As for non-metal objects? Well Dr. Two Brains is still working on it

Dr. Two Brains placed a block of pure Chromium on a small table 20 feet away from where the Ray was pointing.

"Time to fire this up!"

He put on some green goggles and went over to the ray's buttons and started pressing some of them and the Ray displayed a bright red color on top meaning it was turned on but not ready to fire.

Dr. Two Brains was just about to test out his experiment until suddenly a window broke and a red beam passed through it and out of nowhere Wordgirl was standing in front of where the block of Chromium was placed.

Dr. Two Brains: "WORDGIRL"?!

"Dr. Two Brains! I need to speak wi-"

But Wordgirl didn't get a chance to finish as it was too late. The Ray that Brains built shot its "Anti-Matter" beam and before Wordgirl could move out in time the beam hit directly on her chest and the whole room was lit in green that it blinded Brains and threw him on the floor. Worse, a gust of fast moving air set him flying out the window, breaking it, and with a thud outside the concrete. At the same time the Wall gave way that there was barely anything there. The gust of air, which felt like some supersonic wave, brought down almost the whole building and left most of it in ruins and unfortunately the villains lair and all his equipment (with the exception of the Ray) were scattered and damaged. Dr. Two Brains was not moving and lay on the concrete with debris on him. He was breathing but unconscious.

Wordgirl managed to get out of the debris quickly but felt somewhat weak.

"What happened?" as she looked around only to see much of the place destroyed and in ruins. Some of the roof and third floor was still intact. In front of her she could see a large machine that she couldn't identify.

Oh no… thought Wordgirl.

She realized that her chest area had no clothing and there was a burnt hole on her suit. This is kind of embarrassing but thankfully nothing that wasn't supposed to be showing was showing! Some of her suit was tainted though. She checked too see if she could still fly and she still could.

She flew around the debris hopefully to find Brains. She could make out a yellow glove in the debris and white clothing. She took the yellow glove and pulled it out and pulled out Brains out of the debris and noticed he had his eyes closed and wasn't moving.

Gotta take you to a hospital bud
