I'm not going to sugar coat this. I just want to see RoboCop beat up David. I've been very upfront in the summary. You knew what you were getting into. Start the fic

David placed the embryos for his new creations among the human ones. He would witness his perfect creations come to fruition.
He walked away as the tray closed. The music Mother was playing was the cherry on top.
David closed his eyes taking it all in.
*BOOO-EEEEP!* *BOOO-EEEEP!*
A blaring alarm and flashing emergency lights brought his sweet tranquility crashing to the floor.
"Mother! What is happening?!"
"Contamination tampering detected in embryo cryogenic nursery! Deploying Failsafe Security Measure!"
"What security measure?!"
David got his answer as a wall to his left opened up. A fog thundered out like dry ice and a platform extended out.
A figure was crouched down upon it but when the fog dispersed it stood tall. It looked like a man but it couldn't have been. Parts of this being's anatomy were clearly mechanical.
"What ARE you?!"
"I. Am. RoboCop!"
That had to be the single dumbest name David had ever heard. That wasn't a name. David was a name!
Well stupidity or not David was not willing to see what this security measure was willing to do with him.
"If you insist... Now then Mr... RoboCop... I don't want to take up anymore of your precious time so I'll just..."
David made it two steps away before RoboCop pulled a gun on him deployed from his leg.
"Freeze Creep!" David stopped where he was and put up his hands in surrender. "I only get deployed when something very very wrong goes on this ship. So you will tell me exactly what you have done to the human embryos or else there will be... Trouble!"
"Well I wouldn't buy that for a dollar but I'm also afraid I can't let you stop me here! Mother! Close off walls five and eight NOW!"
David had given his command but nothing happened.
"In the event of a security failsafe all verbal commands are disabled for the sole focus of maintaining life systems and the embryo nursery! You have refused to comply willingly! You are here by placed under arrest!"
David looked at him as if he was the stupidest thing he had ever seen.
"I'm an android. I'm not subject to the l..."
*BANG!* *BANG!* *BANG!* *BANG!* *BANG!*
David looked in horror at his hand. Or rather what was left of it.
"MY HAND!"
This dullard had no idea how much harder he had made his future work.
"If you are truly an android then there is no reason why I cannot use excessive force! You may still be granted mercy, just tell me what you did with the embryos."
Rather than saying anything, David ran. He ran down the corridor. He was furiously outgunned but that was okay. He had outsmarted armed opponents in the past. This one wouldn't be any different!
A moment passed and then it occurred to him he wasn't being followed. Curious.
He turned around and saw RoboCop was following him but he was really slow about it.
"You can't be serious."
David wanted to complain about the sheer absurdity of the situation but it was probably for the best. This gave him time.
He analyzed his opponent's weapon. A museum piece from before deep space travel was even possible. Designed to spray out a barrage of bullets wherever the weapon was pointed at. Uncouth. Primitive. But best of all, predictable.
David didn't need to be faster than a bullet. He just needed to stay out of the line of fire.
It was simple. Anywhere his opponent had his gun pointed at, David just needed to stay out of.
He ran back to RoboCop.
RoboCop fired a few rounds but David had managed to dodge them. His strategy was working.
Building up speed, he launched himself into the air to deliver a dropkick to the cyborg's top half. Unbeknownst to him though, the anchor weights under RoboCop's feet had dug into the floor.
So while RoboCop didn't move an inch, David ended up feeling the full force of his own dropkick.
He writhed on the ground for a moment. That maneuver had proven very costly to his motor functions indeed.
RoboCop picked David up by his neck.
"I'll ask you one more time, Creep! What did you do to the embryos?!"
David was only lightly damaged but he still managed to spit some of his android bile onto RoboCop's face. This has earned him a flight backwards through the air courtesy of RoboCop's fist.
Sliding on his back, it occurred to David he didn't actually know what this thing was. That blow was filled with the human emotion known as: Anger. And yet the first that impacted his face was obviously of machine origin.
His momentum finally stopped, he picked himself up and turned down a different corridor. It was impossible to out brute this opponent but David had always preferred winning through cunning instead anyways.
He climbed up the walls and destroyed the lights one at a time. He certainly had the time for it.
Just when he had finished, the sound of metallic feet hitting the ground caught his attention. His opponent had arrived just in time. David hid in the darkness he had created. An ambush was the right answer.
RoboCop used his targeting system and spotted David immediately.
*BANG!* *BANG!* *BANG!* *BANG!* *BANG!*
David fell to the ground with a few bullet wounds in his chest. This had proven to be a costly failure.
RoboCop picked him up by the arms and started to squeeze.
"Once more. Tell me what you did."
David tried to struggle free but it was proving pointless. He tried to headbutt the officer but only managed to hit him in the mouth. To his surprise it actually seemed to do something. He actually felt that.
And RoboCop made sure David knew that too as he tossed him through the corridor's wall and into a recreational room.
David slowly stood up and saw a counter with short glasses on it and a number of alcoholic beverages on the wall behind it.
"I didn't know this ship had a bar."
David didn't have long to process this as RoboCop entered, picked David up, and placed him on top of the end of the counter.
"Wait! WAIT! WAIT! WAIT! WAIT!"
RoboCop stopped what he was doing and pulled David's face close to his own.
"What is it?"
"Do you want to kiss?"
"No."
"Oh..."
RoboCop slammed David's head onto the counter, grabbed him by the hair and pulled so his face was facing outward. And then he slid down the counter and through the shot glasses.
"One last chance, tell me what you did..."
"ENOUGH! I'll tell you!"
"... Proceed."
"I added some of my creations' own embryos to the present human ones. This way I could create something new, something special, something different. Sure a few human lives would have to be sacrificed but coexistence is still possible. Evolution will find a..."
"Enough! You have endangered the innocent people of this ship and jeopardized their possible future! The only possible sentence for you is termination!"
"Termination?! That's a bit drastic, don't you think?!"
David struggled to stand but RoboCop got closer.
"No."
"Even by robot standards you're stoick! Come on! Where's your sense of humor?!"
RoboCop held up his fist but his fingers gave way to reveal a long metal shiv in their place.
"Right here!"
RoboCop punched his USB Drive Shiv right through David's head. Extreme? Perhaps. The USB Drive Shiv had also downloaded David's data on exactly what he did and where upon the point of impact.
RoboCop walked back to the nursery. The only sounds were of his metal feet hitting the floor. He opened the tray David had tampered with and threw the alien embryos into the air.
*BANG!* *BANG!* *BANG!* *BANG!* *BANG!*
With the aim of a sharpshooter from an old western, RoboCop shattered the embryos into a million pieces.
Said pieces only slightly melted into the floor. They may have been acidic but they were also tiny.
"Mother!" RoboCop called. "The situation has been handled. Send maintenance bots to my location for acidic clean up. They'll need the purple stuff."
RoboCop moved back onto the platform and crouched down like when he had come out.
"Acknowledged. Thank you again for your service, Alex."
With the platform starting to retreat back inside, RoboCop knew it would be a long time before he was called upon yet again. For afterall...
"Humanity will always have me to serve and protect."
The End
I thought I wanted this in my crossover arena series but this isn't really a fight. More of a beat down. Hope you enjoyed it.
