Taz's POV


I woke up to someone dabbing her face with cool water.

"Oh! Your awake!" a young nurse squeaked.

"Up... he's..." before i could finish she rushed from the room. I sat up straighter. My arms had no burns on them, just scars. My head hurt and my hair was almost all singed off. Saki walked in then. She had clearly been crying.

"Taz... I have some news."

"If its about Up, I don't want to know."

"Its about Gabrielle."


Taz sat in a garden. It was a rehabilitation center, and she in a separated area, sectioned off by grey stone walls. She sat on the ground with her back against the cold rock, her hand resting on her abdomen.

Miscarried from war wounds and Depression. Since when had Taz been depressed... her mind slowly remembered her crying as Up's body was torn, as she carried the body back.


"You can go on leave, or you can go to earth and train new cadets." Space-Claw had given her the choice that afternoon.

"I've only just woken up."

"Give her time, Sir." Saki commented. He nodded and left.

"I'll go back to earth once de robots are gone."

"They surrendered." Saki looked me in the eye. "You and Up ended the robot wars."


Taz felt so alone; although Saki was here, she had no Up. She had no Gabrielle. She had seen Up on a regular basis since she was 15. Now he was gone.


Up's POV


"Taz?" I asked. The first word I said out of surgery. Taz.

"I can't disclose that information." The doctor sighed. I looked at my right side of my body. It was all metal, and cold. Except it had my blood pumping through in artificial veins.

"So... I have one of everything?"

"Not quite." The doctor sighed.

"What do you mean?"

"We lost... both of your testicles."


I stood in an area of the garden, the synthetic skin over my right half met seamlessly with my real skin. However, that side still behaved as a robot. I hated it.

"You need to control your actions Up!" a nurse sighed. Rick was stood beside me, possibly missing the birth of the twins for me.

"I'm sorry." I whimpered.


Taz's POV


Someone in the area next to me was sniffling. All I heard were mechanic noises and crying. I should be the one crying. I had been here for two weeks now, and for all I know, the half of the man I loved that survived could be six feet under by now. I frowned and decided I see who it was, so I went to my room and got a chair, before standing on it.

"Up..." I whispered. He looked up.

"Taz...?" He replied, and shakily made his way towards me. He was whole, he was intact, then I noticed, the right side of him was a robot. I jumped from the chair and ran back to my room, where Saki was.

"Whats going on."

"You could have told me Up was half robot!"

"That's why they called a robotic's team out?" she looked confused.

"Tell Space-Claw I'll train those Cadets for him. Just get me out of here."
