Days have turned to weeks since the beginning of the underground trying to confer the surface and yet people want this other this war to end. Aurora, Zak and Zoey are currently walking around the surface but the area that hasn't been touched by the bloody war that slowly begins to spread closer and closer as weeks past.
"What is metro city like?" Aurora asked intrigued about this city the twins always talk about and the home of this Astro boy she met weeks ago or even days. Zak was surprised to see that she was actually interested to see it despite hating them half of the time as they spoke back about her mother but all she could do was watch and stay quiet like she was nothing more but an empty shadow.
"You really want to know?" Zak asked making sure that she was really wanting to know about the city that was so amazing to them and the humans and robots who love there in peace working for one another. "I would hate to speak baldly about her mother but she used to live there before she was made" he thought to himself before sighing not knowing how long he can take it anymore but if he tell her now the friendship they made would've been broken and shattered into pieces never to be whole again while the sharp edges dig into them of their guilty and dark secrets they keep from showing not wanting to be left all alone.
"Zak, should we at least find Dr, Hope before telling her about metro city?" Zoey said as he turned to face his sister unsure of what to do for the right course of action especially when Aurora is unaware of what she was but hasn't even notice it yet. Zak sighed liking at Aurora before grabbing her wrist before taking her in a completely new direction to some place new and different from before as Zoey followed behind them.
"I take that you don't want to talk about it, right?" Aurora said thinking that it was the question she asked about metro city everyone was constantly talking about. "She isn't ready yet" Zak thought to himself as they rushed through the forest near the beginning of some highly huge hills.
"Whatever you do, don't follow us" he said as the Rocky wall Began to move revealing a secret entrance for them to go through.
Aurora's PoV:
As the doors opened the entrance to somewhere different was revealing itself as darkness was seen saw below the stairs quickly turning dark the longer I look at it.
"Zak? Why are w—- woah!!" I said as hands seemed to push me causing me to fall onto my knees as I looked back to see Zak and Zoey just watching me as the door began to close. "Did they just... abandoned me?!" I though to myself as Zak scoffed before smirking as If my shocked expression seemed to satisfy him before ending it as the door shut completely as all I could now see was darkness.
"What should I do? I can't see anything" I thought to myself as I began to stroke the floor with my hands feeling the cold metal brush against them before feeling a blood substance touch them as a horrid smell followed after it making me Gipson a little from the smell that seemed to be of something rotten or just plain disgusting.
Suddenly the darkness began to brighten up as I could now see more of the floor that I feeling before noticing the dark substance he hand was in. My stomach turned as I continued to look at it seeing something long like an arm but it was.... well bitten or even blow off by the look of things especially when the bone could be seen revealing itself but the colours weren't clear enough to actually see if it was a Body or not but I managed to get myself onto my feet again wiping the substance onto my clothes before heading forward forgetting about the stairs before beginning to feel the force of gravity pull me down as I crashed down feeling every last one of the hit me leaving either bruises or cuts somewhere in my body as I continued to fall not stopping once.
"I just want this to end" I though again as the final thud was made with my body as it began to slowly come to a stop at the bottom or takeaway the bottom but because of the fall I could feel myself getting weaker and aching all over my body as I began to ever so slowly Drag myself across the floor using up the last amount of strength I had before completely blacking out unsure of where I will wake up if anyone could find me that is.
I don't know how long it has been but I has glad that someone was able to find me and pick me up but I didn't know if it was a good feeling or bad I should've felt at that very moment but I couldn't open my eyes right now due to being very weak weirdly from falling down some stairs like some hill.
"How did she get in?" A voice was heard asking the one that was holding but they seemed to sound so familiar but only if I could see them then I would've know what to do at that very moment.
"I just found her unconscious at the bottom of the stairs" the voice relied back but it was a lady her smell seemed so sweet and lovely while her voice was so trustful and calm like a woman should sound like but it could be the opposite, I am unsure of what to make in this which the twins have put me in but did they really abandoned me or did they save me?
"Being her to the lab I want to check if her circuits haven't been damaged" another woman was heard given a direct order but I wasn't a robot I'm a human just like them... are they gonna cut me open!!. I began to panic scared if they were gonna use some sort of sharp tool to cut me open with an mess with my insides but why did they say I have circuits?.
I felt myself being lifted into a hard surface which was cold and possibly made out of Iron rashly made and sunny the way scientists like it. My shirt was lifted as I felt my heart began to race as she pressed down on a certain part on my chest opening something as now the sound of my heart could be heard beating vigorously as their hand left my chest alone.
"Impossible, she seems to be afraid of something? Attach the wires and begin the assessment" they directed again as something was felt connecting next to or Near to my heart while something was heard behaving me on the table..... loading.
"Are you sure she isn't awake and aware if this right now professor?" A woman stepped in as they sighed sounding very disappointed before continuing to beep on some buttons before clicking on something as it played a sound which I heard a bit of Zak and Zoey talking but how?
"If she does I'll just reset her again instead of they way I did months ago" the lady responded as I quickly began to realise that I was not somewhere new I was back in the underground and in my mothers lab but why would I be in here I was human made of flesh like Dr, Hope said.... but I don't understand.
"Doesn't she deserve to know the truth?" The voice asked again which also began to seem so familiar to me... Dr, Hope she was here but....did she lie about me? About what I really am?
As the wires the taken out of my chest mother seems to close my chest which brought relief to me as the feeling of movement was felt in my fingers as they twitched then soon after my eyes began to slowly open showing me the light that shined on me as I looked to my right seeing my mother stood their looking at me so plain and blank like I was nothing to her. While Dr, Hope was behind glad to see me alive and well like was actually something to her than just something... something? I don't know what I am to her other than that one word that rushes in my mind in a continuous loop.
"X is now back and operating just fine" my mother said before facing away from me before allowing Dr, Hope to rush over to the table I laid on as she looked into my eyes.
"How are you feeling young one?" She asked as I was happy to see her too better than being confused and left in the dark and cold where Zak and Zoey left me so they could run free on the surface.
"They left me..... abandoned me..... why?" I asked with some pauses in my sentences beige tears quickly came out of my eyes as she placed a hand on my cheek hushing me like a mother should do but mine wasn't really the amazing mother she once was.... or so I could remember.
I didn't take long for me to sit myself up straight onto the lab table seeing some vessels huge tubed vessels with human looking robots in them but they had different coloured hair than mine. Some had red, blonde, brown or even black hair but why was their a empty one between the dark toned one and the vessel that was completely covered by a fabric material was it hiding something behind it? Or was it just broken waiting to be prepared when mother has the time to do it?.
"Why are those kids in those weird tube vessels?" I asked pointing at them as Hope looked at them too but she didn't seem surprised by any of them like she was used to it. "Are they dead?" I thought like a actually 13 year old would when they see something not moving but it has hard to see but I guess they were alive with those masks overing their noses and mouth giving them oxygen like any human needs to survive.
"I don't want this defective thing in my lab asking questions! Take her away!?" Mother yelled facing towards me and Dr, Hope why would she call me defective I'm not a robot I'm human I eat like a human, sleep like a human, I ever fear and feel emotions like a human should. So why does she not want me around anymore does she not love me?
"Let's go Aurora" Hope said carrying me out of the lab in her arms like a child since my legs were still feeling like jelly making it easier to go away girl mother when she was in this type of mood.
Professor rose's PoV:
I can't believe she had the audacity to ask about my work like she didn't even know what it is. Aurora is beginning to increase in intelligence and stupidity as the days go by I think it was a mistake to bring back again.
"Ma'am? Should we update the assessment?" One of my assistances asked as I sighed putting a hand on my face really not in the mood to deal with anything right now.
"Y-yeah just hurry and do it!" I yelled back as they quickly rushed back to work as I slowly walked up to the covered vessel which I have hidden for months but only Dr, Hope knows what's lying behind this and Aurora doesn't need to know about it, not now not ever or she'll turn against me.... again.
As I got to the vessel I managed to move aside a little piece of the fabric to see My daughter still unresponsive floating in the green fluid that kept her body clean and not rotten. I didn't want to see her die that day I really didn't but I did what I had to do I could save my job but it just ended with me loosing the most precious thing in my life something that means more than anything to me.
"Only if I had the power to bring the real you to life other than a half huma-machine that can basically do anything a human can... I hope you could forgive me" I whispered as I leaned my head against the glass as the light glowed into me as I closed my eyes wanting to see and hear those laughs and smiles I missed so much. "Why am i doing this?" I though to myself before moving the fabric back to where it was before making my leave out of the lab.
As I left I saw Aurora and Dr,Hope having a chat about something I was supposed to be doing with her...my daughter but she wasn't my daughter despite having her memories, well not the ones that involved the arguing with her father and the experiment that costed her life. I hated seeing them together even though it's better than that thing bugging me 24/7 even though I promised to spend time with her but the more I look at her the more it reminds me that Aurora was GONE!
"So what will you be teaching me today Dr, Hope?" She asked as I stopped in my tracks to take a deep breath in and then out really trying my best to not yell at her to shut up but why would I do that? It's just bring back bad memories and then she'll run away again leaving me got bill! He's the reason why I had to do that experiment and rush it making it unstable and violent killing my child but it was also mine and hers...ugh! I will get my revenge and if it help by using Aurora's robot and inhuman abilities then sure she could be of some use to me.... if Hope doesn't try and stop me then I'll be able to get my way for once.
No one PoV:
"Can we learn some more robotics?! Can we!? can we!?" Aurora said excitedly bringing a smile to hope's face before taking her leave not noticing professor rose's presence but she knew that leaving Aurora with her would be a huge no no at the moment especially when she took a run for it with two highly dangerous human looking robots who left her behind, abandoning her all alone here with no friends besides herself and Hope.
Dr, Hope was able to go into a spare unused room with a working projector to get everything ready for the lesson Aurora really seemed to like before sitting her down on a chair out of the way. After setting things up Hope was able to sit her down and quickly fix one of the holographic laptops so she can test the girls intelligence to the subject and work besides than just the projector that was at the front of the room. Things were beginning to go back to normal for Aurora but robots still seem to scare quite a bit but not as much as her mother being mean and yelling at her for absolute no reason at all.
The next day!
Aurora was lying asleep in her bed as the room to her door opened waking the poor girl up to see her mother their liking down on her with yet again no emotion.
"Get up, you have something to talk about with Dr, Hope" she said in quite a calm manner as Aurora slowly got out of bed and stretched her arms and yawned before allowing herself to get changed into something nice. As she loses the closet door the mirror showed that her snowy white hair was a mess despite it being up to her shoulder blades so she quickly was able to brush it as the knots hurted her before allowing her to use a clip to hold back her drive and tie her hair into a quick little bun rushing after her mother who was waiting outside patiently for her to get ready and go.
"You took your time" she said looking at her hand watch before putting away and in the direction where Dr, Hope will be. Aurora found it strange that her mother was being awkwardly nice to her today, what was on her mind? What does she have planned for her?
"Why does Hope need to talk to me?" She asked as they continued to walk closer to the testing ground area of the underground where only the best of the best can go if they're worthy or just any type of scientist other than robots.
"We have something to show you or well...just me, it was my idea after all" she replied back as they got to the door which needed a keycard so they can enter. Rose was able to use hers to unlock the door allowing them to enter the room as a dim light shined revealing only 3 scientists waiting for them but where was Hope.
Aurora's PoV:
Mother said that she would be here but I couldn't see her anywhere. Maybe she's late. Yeah she's always late when it comes to testing things like robots since she hates violence.
"I see that you have X with you ma'am" one of them said but who's ex? I don't see anyone with it met anyone with that name before.
We were able to reach the scientists who seemed to look at me a bit funny like I was some how different from them but I don't see anything different we are all humans here, unless one of them is a robot?
The huge glass shield was still up so nothing threading seemed to be in the room at the moment. I began to look around in the darkness seeing something squirming about but was held by something.
"Turn on the lights!" Mother said the whole room lit up allowing my ears to see something so horrible and frightening I just stared at the thing that was wiggling something i cared about so much than anything else in this world and yet someone was trying to take it from me.
"Go get her... if you can" mother said again as I quickly began to rush towards her while the sounds of the glass shields were heard closing behind me but I didn't care I wanted to help hope and release her from those ropes and restraints that held her up.
"Do worry I'll help you Dr, Hope!" Said as I looked her in the eyes giving her some hope that I will try my best and save her from this hell that I came back to. She was able to move the tissue out of her mouth allowing her to speak.
"No! It's a trap! Leave me go and find Tenma and don't trust anyone!?" She yelled as the restraints that seems to be handing her up began to pull on her arms and legs as cracking noises were heard breaking her bones in every second they pulled stooping me as I watched as the one of the most important people in my life was ripped apart in front of me. Her arms and legs dangled down as her limbless body hid the ground while the blood she had saved inside was pouring out.
"Hope!" I yelled rushing over to her despite seeing all of the blood that gushed out of her body. She seemed to still be conscious liking me in the eyes before dying in my arms while tears began to pour and drip onto her face.
"Some leave me!" I yelled wanting her to come back but by the look for things it was highly unlikely that she would be coming back so I decided to grab her necklace that had a picture of us in it putting it around mine to remember her by despite still having the teddy she gave me for my 3rd birthday.
Looked back at the woman who I used to look up as my mother or so I though. She didn't seem to care that her daughter was crying in front of a dead body if one of her dearest friends sitting into their blood too.
"Why did you do this!" I yelled demanding an answer as she just quietly looked at me before noticing the rage in my eyes that was once filled with love for her but that was all gone.
Nothing seemed to go through that woman's head she just killed one of her best scientists but for what just so see my cry or is she actually going to tell me why she did this!
"Project X! We demand that you stand out and come with us for further evaluation!" A make scientist said through one of the speakers but my name was Aurora not X I ain't some experiment just to fill their sick desire every time they make me cry or angry. I am no longer seeing them as my allies they're all monsters ever last one of them!!
