It took a lot to confuse Polly.
Monster living in the basement of her house, She could handle that.
Giant Metal baby, take him under her wing.
Monster who become a sister to you has just died and come back to life, Eh she had seen weirder.
Seeing her crush being hit by a drone again and again when it should have been ruining her life, that would do it.
The moment Polly saw that the drone wasn't attacking the tall newt she stopped running towards her, and watched as she was attacked.
This admittedly was the worst possible reaction to seeing your crush attacked by a flying drone, but Polly was just glad the drone wasn't reciting something mushy.
"Polly," said Anne catching up with her adoptive sister, "Please wait I- Okay that's not what I ordered."
"Well obviously," said Polly not looking at Anne and focusing on the Drone, "Unless you ordered her to be attacked, so I could rescue her."
"Polly, I wouldn't do that," said Anne sounding hurt.
"No, you just try to ruin my life in other ways."
Before Anne could respond Pearl yelled out a primal roar and grabbed the Done, she slammed it to the ground again and again.
"Woah," said Anne impressed.
"That was hot," said Polly dreamily.
Pearl took several breaths then turned to see Anne and Polly, she blushed when she realized that there had been witnesses to her display of primal rage.
"Oh, Polly, Anne, um… please ignore that."
Before Anne could respond a small box on land walked into Anne, "DESTROY" it yelled, Anne didn't give it much chance before she pushed it out of the way.
With that she took in the surrounding chaos.
To the side there was a robot Spider chasing a newt up a tree, Drones were flying everything one was currently chasing Wally across the fair, a DJ Robot one a stage was playing off tempo polka music drowning out the screams of the innocent Frogs.
"The robots, they're going berserk," said Anne worried, "Polly what's happening."
"I have no idea, but I have a plan," said Polly bravely.
Before Anne could Ask, Polly charged towards one of the robots chasing a polliwog, the robot was bipedal with a face that looked like a newt, Polly jumped and landed on its chest, in seconds she ripped off its arm.
The robot didn't even react to this as Polly jumped and swung the robot's detached arm into its head smacking it off its body, as the head rolled away its red eyes faded to black.
Anne looked at Polly standing the robot's arm still in her hand and nodded, "Yeah should have seen that coming."
Pearl just looked at Polly her eyes wide, "Woah."
Polly looked at the two, "Well what are you waiting for get some and start smashing robots," with that Polly started to run to the source of the nearest screaming.
Nodding in agreement Anne rushed over to the headless robot and ripped off the robot's arm, and followed Polly, catching up with her Anne looked at her, "Polly I-"
"Don't, I'm still mad at you."
"Okay, but until we've save everyone, can we call a truce."
Polly was quiet for a second before nodding.
Up ahead Anne saw a dorky trio of a Frog, a Newt, and a Toad standing there, looking terrified, as three small Box shaped wheeled robots circled them.
Polly jumped and landed on one of the robots smashing it to parts, Anne ran up to another one of the robots, she kicked it sending it flying into a wall, where it too smashed to pieces.
The final robot taking notice of its destroyed brothers yelled, "Destroy," and changed at Anne's foot, it collided with it, Anne…felt no pain at all, it was after all a small robot, however she stomped her foot down on its body destroying it.
The three dorky amphibians looked at Anne in wonder, only being knocked out of their amazement by Polly.
"Don't just stand there, get to safety," she yelled.
In response the three ran off, a brief smile appeared on Polly's face before she heard another scream, and another.
"We can't just go around destroying robots all day, We need to figure out what's causing this," said Anne looking at Polly worried.
Polly place looked around for something, "I don't know, this could be a virus but… there's also no way for them to get any, we don't have an internet and well none of these robots could receive any orders to do this outside of hive mind."
Anne stood there for a second, "Okay, Hive mind?"
"The robot army ten years was controlled by a hive mind, but it can't be that," Polly looked at the remains of the robot she had just smashed, "There's no robot that's advanced to do that?"
"What about Frobo?"
Polly looked at Anne for a second before shaking her head, "No, he wouldn't do that, no chance in Amphibia."
"Okay, but even if that's true what happens if he's been taken over."
Polly looked at her for a second, "He won't" she said, Anne could see there was a small look of fear in her sister's eyes.
Anne nodded, "Well then let's find who's responsible for this.
The frog look at her adoptive sister and nodded, "Okay, We should start looking at the stage."
Anne let go of her, "Why there?"
"If you were responsible for a robot uprising wouldn't you gloat?"
"Not really."
"Well you don't know that many robotics nerds," said Polly before she ran off to the stage with Anne following.
…
Nicole stood in one corner of the ring and smiled beneath her metal casing, she was going to destroy this robot then the little job stealing jerk
The bell rang and the Montgomery robot sped towards her, Nicole dodged out of the way, she smiled, this was going to be easy.
Nicole turned to try attacking the back of the robot only to see its body raise slightly off it's axis wheel and turn one hundred and eight degrees to face her.
He charged at her again, Nicole dove just avoiding it, she turned to face the robot, this time it was facing her.
Max looked at the situation Nicole looked like she was in danger, he hadn't expected Montgomery robot to his this good, he turned to Marcy who'e hands were covering her mouth in fright, Lucian was also watching in terror.
"Well, that was fun." said Montgomery standing on the opposite side, "but let's finish this."
The wedge robot turned one more time towards Nicole, she jumped again and again but no matter what happened the robot was always in a position to start driving at her again.
Nicole gulped, grabbing her shiv thought about one plan trying to jump on it and stab it.
She stood there looking at the robot dead on, in seconds it was rushing towards her.
Nicole was about to jump something come rushing from the left of the arena something small round and black, he slammed into Montgomery's robot knocking on it's side, the projectile was the cleaning robot Nicole despised so much.
In seconds however before Nicole could do anything more cleaning robot darted from the sides of the area and started to attack the downed fighter.
In the stands Max looked at the assault on Montgomery's robot confused and relieved, he turned to Marcy and Lucian, "We have to get her out of there now."
Before the two Amphibians could respond, there was a scream in the crowd, Max turned to see a newt being attacked by one of the cleaning robots, more and more screams erupted as Max saw dozens of the robots attacking random Amphibians.
"What the-" Max started to say, he looked back at Nicole, he saw several of the robots backing away from the pinned robot and looking at her.
Without even thinking Max jumped over the railing and into the arena to help Nicole, he instantly tripped and landed on his face, he picked himself up ready to help Nicole…who was already in the process of smashing one of the cleaning robots with her stubbly little arms, and robot was scooting towards her, Nicole saw this and threw her shiv at it, it landed in the middle of the robot's red sensor.
Max stood there his mouth open, so shocked by this act of savagery he didn't notice that a cleaning robot was bumping into his foot, however after a few seconds he did, he rose his foot and stomped on it, feeling a bit of joy in destroying.
"Hey, Max" said Nicole looking at him, "See you've joined me in the robot smashing.
Max nodded, "Nicole we need to get out of here."
"NICOLE" said a voice from up high, Max looked up to see Montgomery standing there an amused look on his face, "You cheated, Well this will be good. I wonder how the judges-"
Whatever the Montgomery thought the judges would think would be lost to history because a door opened on the side of the downed wedge shaped robot, from that door a small green frog jumped out, sweating.
"That's a frog from Bittyberg," said Nicole.
"Forget this," said the frog in a panic, "I'm out of here."
The frog jumped to the ground and started towards the exit, Max and Nicole looked at the newt body standing there, Max smiled, he had no idea what Bittyberg was, but he knew something at least.
"Figures a rich bully like you would cheat," said Max
Before Montgomery could respond Max grabbed Nicole and started to run towards the exit, he heard two thuds from the left and right of him and saw Mary and Lucian running to the left and right of him.
The moment they exited the arena they saw the rest of the fair was not any better.
"This must be what the war was like." said Lucian somewhat excited.
"If the war was just robots bumping into people" said Marcy.
Max nodded, the attacks seem mostly annoying.
"Well you guy I think we need to prove the superiority of Amphibians over machines." said Nicole smugly.
"Be cooler if we could do it with weapons though," said Lucian.
As if an answer to his complaint a voice shot out from the left of the four, "RANDOM LARGE STICKS OF WOOD, COME AND… GET THEM."
The four turned to see a blue axolotl wearing goggles walking up to them, on his back was a basket full of love bits of wood, some were even nicely designed.
"Hey Loggle," cried Nicole, Can we have four please?"
Loggle nodded and ran over and held his hand out, Nicole looked at Marcy with wide eyes, the frog sighed and pull four coppers from her pocket, and place him in Loggle's hand.
Nicole squealed and took a large table leg, Max and Lucian found themselves wooden swords, and Nicole a nice staff with cute animals carved in.
"Do I have to smash with it?" said Nicole.
With that Loggle ran off to find more customers.
"Okay, Guys let's start smashing," Max ran off into the fray, followed by the others, two of which were laughing.
…
Ivy had to admit she was proud of herself, she was still annoyed at Sprig, but she was willing to put that aside and deal with the threat in front of them.
Said threat was a robot spewing out ice cream at the two of them, of course it wasn't what she would have considered dangerous, but right now with panicked frogs running around slippery surfaces would lead to trips and if a large enough crowd came this way it would be disaster.
Currently, she and Sprig's position wasn't the best, hiding behind a stall as the robot shoot its ice cream at them.
"You got any plans?" said Ivy.
Sprig shock his head, "Nope, Worst part of this, there's no mint."
Ivy stuck out her tongue, "Yuck"
"Maybe we could try jumping over it?"
Ivy took a peak from behind the stall, the Ice Cream robot has stopped spewing Ice Cream and was now searching for more victims, it whipped his ice cream hose in an act of dominance, Ivy crawled back to where she was hiding, she felt stupid she could have handled this easily, but that was before.
"I have a plan, you're going to love it."
Woken from her worries, Ivy turned to Sprig, "what?"
"Ambush."
Ivy looked at him confused, "What?"
"I'll distract it by jumping around, and you knock it down from behind.
The yellow frog nodded, "Be careful."
Sprig then kissed her, she briefly forgot why she was annoyed at him.
The pink frog jumped from behind the stall landing behind the robot, "HEY, TIN CAN, OVER HERE."
The robot turned around and shot at Sprig who jumped out of the way, he landed on the wall clinging onto it with his pads.
"Wow bad aim, maybe they'll repurpose you into a frogert machine."
The Robot shot again and again, but kept missing, it saw Sprig as a target and kept shooting.
It didn't even detect Ivy kicking it from behind.
"AMBUSH." she yelled.
The robot fell to the ground, lacking arms it couldn't get up, its hoses were whipping around, Ivy grabbed both of them and ripped them, its red eyes dimmed.
Ivy breathed out and saw Sprig jumped towards her, unfortunately he landed on some of the ice scream and started to slip, Ivy reached out and grabbed him
"Are you okay?" she said steadying him
Sprig nodded, "Yeah, Listen Whatever I did…"
"It's fine, we'll talk later right now we have other things to deal with."
"Obviously, We should meet up with Polly, she'll be in the middle of this, trying to fix this."
With that the two run off to find Polly.
…
Around the fifth frog Polly saved, she started to get a little concerned about what was happening, why were they acting like this?
They were close to the stage now, a frog they saved said they had told them Frobo was in that direction, this meant that potentially both Mastermind and Frobo were there.
However, when they got there no mastermind, there was however a small horde of robots yelling "destroy."
Anne and Polly got to work destroying them.
As she looked over the remains of the robotic bed, she couldn't help but notice something.
All these robots were lame.
They were all cleaning robots or service robots, not anything dangerous, she just past a robot for making sushi equipped with two knifes, why wasn't that attacking her?
As she watched Anne finished smashing a butler robot, she got the feeling that this wasn't just a normal invasion, this was something else.
"Anne, there's something wrong with these robots!"
The human turned and looked at her, "No really?" she said sarcastically.
"No, not like that I mean… They're not dangerous."
Anne stood there looking confused, but blinked, she turned around and looked at the surrounding fair, sure there were robots chasing Amphibians around but no one seemed to be hurt yet, she turned back to Polly, "You're right."
All of a sudden there was a stomping sound coming from behind them.
Turning they could see a giant robot walking towards them.
Anne looked worried that thing was big, they might not be able to defeat it.
Polly however had another reaction.
She ran towards it,
"POLLY!" shouted Anne, she charged after the teenage frog, however she was too fast for her, she was standing underneath the path of the robot, she watched as the robot started to descend
However, the foot just stopped moving hovering above her.
Anne slowed and watched as Polly turned around to see her smiling, "See I'm right, it won't even hurt me accidentally."
"NEVER DO THAT AGAIN!" shouted Anne angrily.
"What?" said Polly confused for a second then looked up, "Oh yeah, sorry."
Anne sighed, "Let's just go, That frog said Frobo was here."
Polly looked round there was nothing of her best friend anywhere, she swallowed, the idea that he might be one of the robots possessed, she walked towards the stage.
"Anyone out there." said a hissing voice from the side of the stage.
The young inventors eyes widened "Frobo?"
She dashed towards the voice and saw Frobo, he hands however were wrapped around some stage rigging,
"Polly, Listen I-"
Before Frobo could finish his sentence, Polly was hugging him, "I was so worried, I thought I'd have to rip your head off and throw a Boomshroom down your innards.
"Wow" said Anne a little worried, "That's a little much,"
"No it's cool, I get to do the same if Polly's ever compromised."
Anne stood there for a second wondering if she should point out how messed up that was, she decided not to.
"Frobo," said Polly letting go ho her robotic brother, "Do you what's going on."
"I do, Pandatrons behind this uproar."
Polly snapped her fingers, "Panda-Tron, of course he's just as is not more advanced than Frobo but why?"
Frobo shrugged choosing to ignore the unintended insult, "I don't know, but I'm guessing it's to kill or organics or something like that."
"Nope, the robots aren't killing, they're just being annoying." said Polly
"Huh, How annoying?"
"Just bumping into people, Hell it'snot even the dangerous robots attacking."
"Did he say where he was going to go?" asked Anne.
"Something about seeing his mom's We have to find them"
"Okay, Let's go." said Polly
The two organics turned to leave.
"What about me?" said Frobo annoyed.
"Oh, yeah," said Polly, she turned back, opening a small door in his back she reached in and tinkered around for a few seconds, the arms detached from Frobo's body with a thud.
Frobo looked down at his arms and sighed, "Okay, can we untangle, them?"
"There's no time," said Polly, We'll come back for them later.
The three ran out of the ally, Frobo grumbling all the way.
…
Jess and Ally choose to focus on doing the smart thing during the Robot uprising trying to figure out what could be the cause of this, of course it was hard, while trying to get evacuate Amphibians at the same time.
"Virus?" said Jess as helped a toad up
"It would explain why everything's going wrong but, it doesn't explain how only half the robots are acting like this?"
"I don't know maybe it was targeted," replied Jess.
Ally knocked over a robot as it walked menacingly towards a newt family, "Run." she said, before turned back to her wife.
"Whatever it is we need to find Panda-tron before it-"
All of a sudden there was a large boom, they turned around to see Panda-Tron fighting a large robot, the black and white robot was winning against his opponent, in one last hit he knocked the robot down.
Panda-Tron," said the former I.T Gals, they rushed to the robotic son.
"It's cool," said the robot paint, "You.. should see… the other guy."
"Why are you panting, You don't breathe."
"I just wanted to seem cool." mumbled the robot.
Ally laughed, "We're just glad you're okay."
Panda-tron stood there for a second, quietly.
If he was human one might mistake it for a sign of guilt.
"Yeah, Thanks, but I think I know how to deal with this." replied the robot.
"What's that?"
The robot was quiet again, Then he muttered some words, "I need to take control of all these robots."
Despite the chaos despite the danger, the two women feared what their son suggested.
"What?"
"That means you'll leave your body and…"
"I know but trust me if we can stop all this chaos isn't it worth it?"
Jess and Ally looked at each other, then at the chaos around the Amphibians were running away terrified, they had always wanted people to love robots machines anything it was the ting that brought them together, if something like this wasn't dealt with quickly…
"Mom's please."
Both women looked at each other, if it meant losing him then…
Whatever mood they were having was interrupted by a high-pitched scream, then something slamming onto Panda-tron the robot didn't move.
"Is something on my back?" he said
He turned around and Jess and Ally saw Polly holding on to him punching and kicking the robot futilely
"HOW DARE YOU HOLD FROBO HOSTAGE!"
The Panda robot recognized the voice,"How did you-"
"TAKE THIS," shouted a woman followed by the sound of metal hitting metal.
"I maybe disarmed, but I can still headbutt you," hissed a voice as the sound of something metal hitting Panda-trons other leg was heard.
Jess and Ally walked over to Panda-Tron's front to see Anne and Frobo attacking his legs.
"Um, What's going on?" asked Jess.
"Panda-trons gone rogue he's behind all of this." said Polly annoyed.
"What?" said Jess.
"Is this true?" said Ally.
Panda-tron was quiet for a second, before awkwardly muttering, "No."
"Tell the truth." said Ally sternly
"The robot groaned, "Fine, I'm responsible for all of this."
"Panda-Tron!"
"How could you""
Panda-Tron folded his arms and turned away, "I don't have to explain myself to you" he said bitterly.
"Oh, yes you do" said Jess, "You caused all this destruction, people are getting hurt."
"I programmed them not to hurt anyone, even the big ones aren't causing that much damage." said the giant robot sounding like a stroppy teenager.
Panda-tron, you shut down all these robots at one, or…You will be grounded for a month, with no internet."
The robot just stood there for a moment and grounded, "Fine" he spat out.
All of a sudden the chaos of the fair just stopped. Any Amphibians still around run to any sort of exit, to get away from the fair.
Polly was stilling hitting Panda-trons head, muttering violent threats.
"Can you get her off me please?" said Panda-tron.
"Polly, keep doing what you're doing" said Anne.
"Why did you do this?" said Frobo, glaring at him.
"Because I want to leave this metal shell." said Panda-tron.
"Panda, We've talked about this, we don't know who these A.I's are, they could be dangerous." said Jess
"Ugh" Moaned Panda-tron upset.
Wait," said Polly, "What's going on here?"
"Frobo has some A.I friend's he wants to join, we talked about this earlier.
"Oh" Said Polly.
"Wait so all of this was just him rebelling against Jess and Ally?" Said Frobo.
"Apparently." said Anne.
"I can't believe you thought this was a good idea, Someone could have gotten hurt."
"I already said I didn't besides they're all shut off now."
Panda-tron gestured at the giant mover robot, who eyes suddenly flickered on, it jerkily stood up and looked at the group.
"Um, Panda-tron, Is that supposed to happen?" asked Frobo.
"No, It shouldn't" said Panda-tron an edge of worry in his voice, "I shut all of them down, They said it was a safe."
"Who said it was safe?" said Polly.
"The Other A.I's they said it…"
"Des-Des-DESTROY." shouted the robot as it charged towards them.
