Chapter 5: A Grim Replacement

Mandy was determine to recruit the once Robot Chosen One that she had encountered who had originally was used by the Creeper with the help of Mandroid, Billybot and the toy bots to steal Grim's scythe and create a world for robots only.

"Are you sure that this is the right place?" asked Gwen as she looked around, "It looks like a dump."

"I'm pretty sure it is" replied Mandy.

"How can you tell?" asked Billy who was too stupid to see the sign that had Planet Express written all over it in big bold letters.

"Wait, we can't just barge in like this" said Jimmy as he halted everybody from heading inside.

"And why not?" asked Wanda.

But before anyone could make their move, the door began to open and Cosmo and Wanda quickly turned themselves into dogs with also hiding everybody else in some of the trash nearby. It was the former Robot Chosen One himself-Bender who was just whistling some sort of tune.

"Just what kind of breed of dogs are these?" asked Bender to himself as he noticed Cosmo and Wanda in their disguises, "Must be some mutant dogs, well, the green one looks kind of strange."

"Hey, watch what you're saying buddy!" shouted Cosmo.

"I think we need to talk" said Mandy as she got out of her hiding place.

"What the, you!" cried Bender as Mandy began to approach him, "Come on, I paid my debt to you by giving the Grim Reaper his scythe back. What's the big beef?"

"Grim's scythe has been stolen and as much as I hate to say this but we need your help" replied Mandy.

"We? Whose we, your big nosed friend over there eating some of this garbage?" asked Bender.

"Say, this tastes even better than the steak sauce I had back at the party!" laughed Billy as he dug in through the pile of garbage.

"I'm going to see what you're up against before I can officially go and help you" replied Bender, "Bender is his own robot, he just doesn't do as other people tell him to do."

"Bender!" cried the voice of Hermes Conrad, "have you taken out the garbage yet?"

"Well, I can't help you people with your problems here" said Bender as he was heading back inside, "it's your problem now."

"No one, and I mean no one says no to Mandy" said Mandy as Bender began to walk back into the Planet Express building.

"Bender, what took your lazy metal behind so long to get here?" asked Hermes.

"Excuse me, but I was stopped by some girl from the 21st century who asked me for some help about something to do with the Grim Reaper" replied Bender, "so I turned them down."

"Well good for you" said Hermes, "now get back to work. The Professor's waiting for you in the meeting room."

Meanwhile, back outside Planet Express, Mandy was still trying to think up of a strategy to get Bender to help her cause without having heavy loses of her allies.

"There must be some way we can get this Bender robot to help our cause before our robotic counterparts find him" said Mandy.

"Why not just allow our robotic counterparts find him and he'll just come running back to us?" asked Jimmy.

"That plan just might work" replied Mandy.

"You mean we're going to do nothing?" asked Danielle.

"Unfortunately, in this case yes" replied Mandy, "but we're going to need some place to hide where we won't be seen."

"Leave that to us" said Wanda as with a wave of her wand, they instantly transformed everybody to have stealth suits on, "these stealth suits should do the job of even trying to hide from those robotic counterparts of ours."

"Nice" said Mandy.

"I still can get more of that new steak sauce" said Billy who was still in the dumpster.

Meanwhile, back inside the Planet Express, it was business as usual for Bender who had just sat down in the meeting room with his colleagues.

"I'm quite glad everyone is here" said Professor Farnsworth as he came into the room.

"So what's on today's business?" asked Hermes.

"We're prepared to delivery this advance weaponry for Earth's military so that Earth would be able to defend itself from any sort of invaders" replied Professor Farnsworth.

"Just how heavy are these weapons really?" asked Bender.

"Well, some of them are quite heavy and you'll all have to at least lift the ones that are not so heavy" replied Professor Farnsworth, "such as the boxes with various blasters."

"Great, more heavy lifting, I can't stand this sort of work anymore" complained Fry.

"Oh come on" said Bender who was pretending to be enthusiastic but only really wanted to play with some of the weapons, to which he then also began to take a sarcastic tone, "we should really give these fine weapons to the military of Earth."

"Well, there's something you don't hear everyday" remarked Zoidberg who was astonished by Bender's sudden change of mood.

"You heard the robot with the change of heart" said Hermes as he ordered Leela, Fry and Amy to help out, "get moving those boxes of weapons into the ship."

"Great, if there was only something that would prevent us from moving these heavy boxes into the ship, I would be happy" said Fry.

But Fry was likely bargaining more than he can chew, at the very moment, Mandroid along with Billybot and the toy bots had arrived of where the Planet Express was.

"This must be the location of where the former Robot Chosen One resides or at least works, if he ever has" said Mandroid.

"What's our next move from here?" asked the Takbot.

"An old fashion breaking and entering should be of an order well suited" replied Mandroid.

"Hee, hee, hee, this stuff here tastes even better than soda" said Billybot as he was digging through a nearby dumpster that Billy had already dug through.

"Let's just do this before Billybot is damaged from eating from the dumpster" said Mandroid.

"Very well then" said Benbot as he transformed into Heatblast, "let me give it the first shot."

Benbot then fired a large fireball at a wall right where the Planet Express crew were just about to load up some of the boxes onto the ship when the wall busted right down.

"What's the meaning of this?!" shouted Professor Farnsworth who came into the scene along with Hermes and Zoidberg.

"We are looking for the former Robot Chosen One" replied Mandroid, "and we believe it's time that he turns into a pile of scrap."

"Whoa, whoa" said Bender as he was holding a blaster in his hand that he had taken from one of the boxes, "let's not get all too hasty here. You, uh, what's your name again?"

"Mandroid and these are my fellow robotic compatriots" replied Mandroid, "we are ordered to eliminate you by orders of the Robot Devil."

"Actually, that job has now been given to me" said a deeper unfamiliar voice to everybody.

As everybody turned around, a dark figure with red eyes was seen in the distance. The figure looked quite a lot like the original Grim Reaper but instead was really the Robo Reaper which had been finally powered up with the power of the scythe.

"It's my job to send this traitor to Robot Hell" laughed the Robo Reaper.
