Chapter 3: Revealing the Thieves

Grim was quite furious to what may have happen to his scythe. His scythe has often fallen into the wrong hands, and this time he had feared that someone who had nefarious intentions had acquired it. But he didn't even get to know what he was really getting into. He had finally managed to turn to another corner of Mandy's house when he spotted what looked like to be Mandroid, Billybot and also the toy bots that he had encountered previously with also Danielle and Ben tied up.

"I should have guessed that you robots were behind this scheme!" shouted Grim as he came into the scene in quite an angry furious mood.

"Grim Reaper, we only mean to use your scythe to get our souls free from the Robot Devil" replied Mandroid.

"Robot Devil, what the heck are you talking about, this is my scythe you're talking about, now give it back!" demanded Grim.

"And what if we refuse?" asked Dannybot.

"I'll call upon the real Mandy and the rest of the party guests, we'll make sure that you will not have me scythe!" replied Grim.

"Sorry, but I think we have the upper hand here even if your party guests were to arrive here all at once" said Mandroid.

"What the heck are you talking about?" asked Grim.

"See, Billybot sold all of our souls to the Robot Devil for some soda he had at a party he organized while Bender from the 31st century was having a party" replied Mandroid, "we agreed to steal your scythe and then have you and the rest of your party guests in our place in Robot Hell forever."

"Well, excuse me, but I would like some proof of that" said Grim.

But before Grim knew it, he was teleported right to the 31st century with the help of Mandroid who also managed to use the toy bots to teleport Mandy, Billy and the rest of the party guests. As Grim finally woke up, he notice it seemed like he was in the underworld.

"This seems like the underworld to me" said Grim as he looked around.

As Grim turned around, he noticed that all of the party guests were tied to a table, even Mandy and Billy were tied up to their own tables. Grim also found himself to also be chained up high and being greeted to the very Robot Devil.

"Ah, you must be the real Grim Reaper, sorry that I had to use these robots to subdue you but they were under my contract" said the Robot Devil, "I'm the Robot Devil and you're in Robot Hell."

"Robot Hell?" asked Grim, "But none of us here are robots."

"No, but Mandroid, Billybot and their toy bot compatriots are, and once they have acquired your scythe Mr. Former Grim Reaper" replied the Robot Devil.

"Former, what do you mean by that?" asked Grim.

"Oh, I forgot to mention Mr. Former Reaper" replied the Robot Devil, "you see, I have decided to create the Robo Reaper as a permanent replacement of the original Grim Reaper, that's you."

"But why replace me?" asked Grim, "Isn't that really the duty of the REAL underworld to implement?"

"Yes" replied the Robot Devil, "but if the ruler of this robot underworld as you would put it calls the shots on who's going to be the Grim Reaper, then I fear your old contract is null and void."

"But you can't do this!" cried Grim, "I'm pretty sure even within the 31st century, the underworld should have every right to intervene!"

"Sorry Former Reaper" replied the Robot Devil, "but I call the shots here and also craft the contracts. Your scythe belongs to me and to the new Robo Reaper who'll do a better job of being a Grim Reaper than you'll ever do! All it needs is the power of this very scythe to power it up as it's battery as you shall put it."

"You, Robot Devil, you'll never replace Grim!" shouted Mandy from below.

The Robot Devil then heard of Mandy's defiant comment and lowered himself right toward her.

"Do you have anything to say to me little girl?" asked the Robot Devil.

"No one replaces Grim or takes his scythe" replied Mandy.

"Oh look, I just did" laughed the Robot Devil, "looks like you loose this one child."

"I never loose" replied Mandy, "you'll never get away with this and all those who take Grim's scythe will pay."

"Ha, I would like to see that happening toward me" laughed the Robot Devil.

As the Robot Devil left to go and taunt the real Grim Reaper as he gave the scythe toward one of the servants to charge up the Robo Reaper, Mandy was trying her best to try to free herself.

"It's no use!" cried Danny who couldn't even use his ghost powers to free himself.

"Tell me about it" added Mandy as she was also trying to free herself.

"I think I can free myself" said Billy.

Billy somehow managed to free himself from the chains he was tied up.

"Billy, how the heck did you manage to do that?" asked Jimmy in such an astonishment.

"Oh, I don't know but I think it was the time I was part of the Junior CIA that they implanted some sort of a chip that when I'm endangered I can be able to escape" replied Billy.

"Great" said Grandpa Max, "you can help by getting us out."

As Billy for some sort of reason began to help freeing his compatriots of freeing themselves from their predicament, the Robot Devil had then lowered the chains that had tied up poor Grim to the Robo Reaper who was being charged up by his scythe.

"Now Mr. Former Grim Reaper" laughed the Robot Devil, "I would like you to say hello to your replacement."

"This is my replacement, another pile of junk like yourself?" asked Grim.

"Listen to me Reaper" replied the Robot Devil, "I have long desired to control the destinies of various souls, human, robot and other intelligent creatures alike. The Robo Reaper is the right ultimate robot to do the job."

"But the Robo Reaper will never be like me" said Grim.

"Oh you just wait Mr. Former Grim Reaper" laughed the Robot Devil, "I'll soon be able to control the powers of the scythe through the Robo Reaper."
