Toby and I took our time coming back, flying around and doing all sorts of tricks until it was starting to get dark. We then decided to fly back to our home seriously. As we got closer to the balcony, I saw Dr. Elefun and Dad and over heard what they where saying.
"I got here as fast as I could. Where are they? Where's Toby and Emma?" I heard Elefun ask worriedly
"I sent them to their rooms. Please, just deactivate them and take them away! I can't bare to see their faces again." My dad held is face in one hand. Those words struck my heart as I wondered what they were talking about. Toby and I landed on the balcony and I sent him a worried look. He returned it.
"Come on, Tenma! You can't just throw them away like pieces of junk!" Elefun exclaimed. Toby and I took this chance to enter.
"Dad? What's going on?" Toby asked with the same face he gave me not moments ago.
"Why are talking about us like this?" I asked. I was terrified. What was wrong?
"Toby, Emma, there's been a bit of a misunderstanding. You two are not actually, entirely ordinary children" Elefun put a hand on each of our shoulders.
"I know! Dad, we can fly! I can drill my way through solid rock, it's amazing!" My brother walked over to my father who would not even look at us.
"We can talk though our minds too!" I told him. But he looked as if he was in his own little world.
"How did I think, this could work?" Each word he was saying was breaking my heart more and more.
"What's wrong with us? Why don't you love us anymore?" Toby and I gave him a very worried look as my brother grabbed his arm, but he shook it off.
"He's programmed with the memories of your own son and daughter, Tenma!" Elefun exclaimed as I felt one hand on my shoulder again.
"Programmed?" What was going on? Why where they talking about us this way?
"Doesn't that mean anything to you?" Elefun was looking desperately at my father
"But he isn't my son. And she is not my daughter" My heart was almost broken with those words. What had we done for him to say that?
"Dad!" Toby exclaimed
"I'm... I'm not your dad. You're not Toby or Emma. You are a copy of Toby. And you are a copy of Emma. Not my son or daughter, but robots! And.. and I... don't want you... ...anymore." Those words struck daggers into my heart. Everything clicked then. Why we were so strong. Why we could talk though our minds. Our worlds were crashing down around us. There were tears running down my face, but now I didn't even know if they were real or not.
"No! No!" We both screamed as we sprinted out the door towards the balcony.
"Toby, Emma, wait! I can't see into the future, but I'm sure there's a place for you two , you just have to find it." Elefun tried desperately to try to calm us, but with no success.
"He's my father! She is my sister! This is my house! It's all I know." Toby was the one to answer, as all I could do was look at the ground.
"Everyone has a destiny, Toby." Elefun reasoned with us.
"Didn't you hear? I'm not Toby." Toby took off after that.
"I'm not Emma either." I could not look at either of the men in front of me as I followed my brother. I saw Elefun try to come after me, but my "dad" stopped him as my brother and I flew off. I looked back as my old home grew smaller and smaller as we got farther away. I saw Orrin and Elefun looking at us with sorry and worried faces. But I would not go back as we both sped up to get away. We soon found a building with a ledge to sit on. We both sat down as my brother made his eyes turn x-ray vision. He looked at his hands and saw wires instead of veins.
"It's true." He said tearfully. I put my arm around him to comfort him but then lights suddenly blinded us. We both put our hands up to shield our eyes, and soon they adjusted to the lights. Security vehicles suddenly surrounded us as we slowly stood up, wondering what was going on. Then suddenly the vehicles pulled out guns.
"This is Stinger one, set weapons to capture." One if the vehicles said
"Oh, no!" My brother exclaimed
"That doesn't sound good." We looked at each other then blasted off. Soon the vehicles were following after us. We flew around to try to shake them off, but no luck.
"What do you guys want?" My brother yelled
"I don't know but I sure as hell don't want to find out!" I told him. Then one of the vehicles shot some weird green goo at us. We ran onto a building as we tried to dodge the green stuff. They kept on shooting at us and kept on getting random stuff and people. Then he told me his idea. I nodded at him as we turned a sharp corner. Then we went under two separate planes to bend the guns that shot the green stuff. But then, my brother smashed into the front window of one of the vehicles. The person was stupid enough to try to knock him off with the windshield wipers as my brother gave him an are-you-serious look. But then he got stuck to one of the green things.
"TOBY!" I screamed. But then one of the other planes got me as well. All of the planes soon had a green thing on each of our legs and arms. But we were not going to give up this easily. I saw a building that could help us escape and told my brother about it. We nodded to each other and flew around to get to that building. We were so close to it, but then the vehicles turned themselves the opposite way, pulling us away from our freedom. We struggled, but they kept on pulling us. Then I took my brother's hand in my own and sped up my boosters. He seemed to get the idea and did the same. Then, we flew through the tiny space. 'We were so close, just a little more' I told myself. Soon, the green things were at their limit and snapped off the both of us. We flipped a few times in the air before we finally got our balance back. But then one of the vehicles front windows started cracking. I turned to my brother and gave him a surprised look.
"Oh, no!" the soldier soon began falling. Bt luckily for the guy, my brother caught him. I flew along side of them until we found a rooftop to land on. He pushed the soldier guy onto the roof once we got there.
"There, you're safe." I told him as we both landed on the roof. But then we saw a bunch of the vehicles sitting in front of us.
"Again?" my brother exclaimed
"What's with you guys?" I yelled at the soldier
"I love you" the soldier simply said.
Then both my brother and I flew up and got into fighting stances
"Come on, then" We both said. Then the vehicles started flying away as fast as they could. We both dropped our stances and gave each other confused looks. As we landed back on the roof, the soldier that we had just saved jumped off the roof. What was going on? What were these guys so scared of? Then we saw it. We turned around and there was a humongous fighter plane right in front of us. My eyes widened. But then it fired a huge blast at us as we were running away. I felt myself being thrown through the air and landed harshly on the adjoining rooftop next to my brother. He had troubles getting up and I tried to help him up in the air. Then we were pummeled with rockets and thrown through a building. I landed even harder this time and could barely lift my head. The plane hovered over us like a force that could not be beaten. My brother helped me up this time while clutching his right shoulder. I had to lean on him slightly because my left leg hurt. We were both steaming from the heat given off by the rockets. I grasped his jacket tightly as fear overtook me. We were going to die. Why did this happen to us? We didn't do anything to deserve this. I felt my brother thinking the same thing. I glanced at him one last time before looking fearfully into the huge blaster. Then it fired. Everything went on slow motion. I felt the burn of the blaster and the sting of the rockets. That was the last thing I knew before falling down into the black abyss and I didn't know if I could ever return.
