Well…I bring to you chapter 4. I hope you enjoy it. I DON'T OWN ASTRO BOY THE MOVIE!
Chapter 4
"Toby" called a male voice. Toby looked around.
"Who is it?" Toby asked and kept looking around, still without finding nobody.
"Toby" called the same voice.
"W-Who is Toby?"
Toby woke up panting.
"Oh…that was just a dream" he whispered and sat up, then looked around. He was in the cardboard he found yesterday, in the same place.
"Ok…I'm walking around a little. Maybe I can remember something" he said, crawled outside the box and got up, dusting himself off. He started to walk slowly when he heard a yell.
"Somebody, help!" Toby looked around and saw that the people was walking around, and that they showed no signs of have heard anything. Toby shrugged his shoulders.
'Maybe I just imagined it' he thought and was about to keep walking when he heard another yell.
"Get away! Get away! Get away!" However, the people were still doing their business.
"Ok, I'm positive I didn't imagine it. I have to check it out" he said to himself and started running towards where he heard the call of help. When he arrived, he saw a strange yellow car being attacked by a robot shaped like a big spider. Toby hid behind a destroyed car and looked at the scene. The robot started concentrating power on it's mouth.
'That doesn't look good. I have to rescue whoever is on the car!' thought Toby and got out of his hiding place, running towards the crashed car. When he was about to get closer, the same flying boy he saw the day before appeared and grabbed the car, flying out of danger. Toby's jaw dropped.
"That's cool!" he exclaimed happily. His smile faded away when he saw the robot spider firing a red laser towards him. He braced himself, closed his eyes and waited for the blast, not receiving one after few seconds later. When he felt he wasn't touching the ground, he opened his eyes and looked down. He screamed weakly when he saw he was in mid-air, then started screaming happily.
"Wow! I'm flying! It's so awesome!" he exclaimed, and, few seconds later, looked up on instinct. He saw the boy grabbing him while flying.
"Hey there! Are you enjoying this?" he asked. Toby nodded nervously and smiled.
"Y-Yeah…thanks for saving me" he thanked.
"No problem. I have to put you in a safe place" the boy said and put down Toby besides the yellow car and flew away, towards the spider.
'Way to go! He is very brave' thought Toby and kept looking at the boy.
"You have to stop this or else you will-" the robot cut him off by firing another red laser towards the boy, who was able to dodge it in time. However, he didn't notice a tentacle from the robot, which send the kid flying. Toby grew worried and also heard a worried yell coming from inside the car.
"Astro!"
'Astro?' thought Toby confused and turned back to see the boy. The robot spider stomped on the boy and stayed there for a while. Toby was getting more and more worried.
'Oh no! Did he die?' he thought and looked at the robot, who suddenly was starting to fly. Toby saw the boy below the robot: He was carrying the robot. Toby smiled.
"Ugh…Ugh…" he heard groans. Toby looked inside the yellow car carefully and saw a man with a big nose and white short hair. Toby thought the man was hurt, but when he heard another "Ugh" and saw the man looking at the sky worriedly, Toby kne w it wasn't him.
"Too much…energy" Toby heard another moan.
"Too much energy? I got it, you are overloaded, you have to release part of that energy" It was the boy's voice. Toby looked up.
'How can I hear him? He is way too far!' thought very surprised.
"I have got a plan. Give me a part to me" said the boy. The spider robot extender it's tentacles. Toby thought he was going crazy when he saw the boy open a hatch in his chest. The robot started sending lot of electricity towards the boy, who seemed unharmed. Few seconds later, the spider robot stopped and the boy's hatch closed.
"Whew…you will be fine. I will take you back to the electric plant" he said and flew away with the robot.
'He won!' thought Toby happily and accidentally punched the side of the car, shutting the door open and falling inside the vehicle. The man looked at him curiously, then widened his eyes.
"Astro! Have you already left Magnamite in the power plant?" he asked.
"Uh…Is Astro my name?" he asked sheepishly . The man sighed.
"Maybe getting too much energy altered your memory chip. We have to go to the Ministry of Science to check it" he said. Toby got scared and backed up.
"I-I don't know what do you mean with "memory chip". I'm a human" he said while he backed up. The man was about to complain again when he heard a shout.
"Dr. Oshay!" The man turned around and saw the boy fly towards him.
"Astro!...One moment. You were here with me a few minutes ago. How is that possible?" he asked. Toby took advantage of their speech and ran away, hiding behind a wall. Still, he could hear the speech.
"What do you mean doctor? I left Magnamite in the power plant, then came here to search for you" said Astro, confused.
"Unless Tenma had built another robot that looked like Astro…" Dr. Oshay whispered, looked around to find Toby, without success, then looked back at Astro.
"Astro… I guess I was imagining things. Let's go home" he said and tried to turn on his car, without success.
"Let me take you there, doctor" offered Astro, grabbed the car and flew away. When Toby was sure Astro was far away, he stopped hiding and sat down.
"For some reason I think I have seen that man before, but still can't remember anything. And why he said "memory chip?" I don't understand" he said and felt water fall on his head. He looked up and saw the sky was gray with some clouds covering the sun.
"I better go back to the cardboard" whispered Toby and ran as fast as he could towards the shelter.
It had been raining for 2 hours. In that time Toby tried the best to regain his memories. However, the only thing he actually remembered was his name, because of the dream he had in the morning. The voice he heard on it had been bugging him for a while.
"I'm pretty sure I have heard it before…" whispered Toby while he hugged his legs and looked at the rainy sky. Suddenly he felt a weak earthquake. He sat up and looked around, but saw nothing. He felt another earthquake, then another, they getting stronger. He saw enormous metallic legs walking by. Then an enormous hand grabbed him. Toby struggled to get free.
"I found the blue core!" yelled a metallic voice. Toby looked up and saw a robot.
"Arg…what do you want?" he asked, pretty annoyed.
"The blue core you have!" exclaimed the robot. Toby looked at it confused.
"What a blue core is?" he asked.
"Don't play dumb with me kid. Now give me the core" said the robot seriously. Toby still remained confused and saw the robot got hit. The robot let go of him and turned around, just to see Astro. Toby started falling.
'I wished Astro would help me' he thought worriedly as he saw the ground getting quickly closer and closer.
"Don't worry, I'm going to rescue you!" Astro yelled, but the robot kept him distracted. When Toby thought he was going to die, he closed tight his eyes, waiting to feel the ground. When he felt nothing, he opened his eyes and saw that his feet had transformed into jets.
'I-I'm flying' thought nervously.
