Chereads / Astro boy x Aurora / Chapter 9 - Chapter 9

Chapter 9 - Chapter 9

It has been 2 days since the incident and Astro had been checking up on Aurora ever since as she was told to rest from the aches and pains from the arena hardly remembering a thing at all. Tenma managed to bring Zoey back but he was unable to cover the wound on her neck so all that was left was a scar that would never seem to fade. Cora was fine and totally uninjured from the horrible event that went on.

Things were silent while as Aurora's room was slowly beginning to feel like home as the things she helped build and put in the right places made things seem a bit more natural than just plain and empty. Elifun didn't want her to push herself and kept checking on her making sure she doesn't decide to lift or move something causing her to pull anything in her body just like humans muscles would when incredibly sore and injured.

"I see that you're up and well but I do recommend some more resting" Astro's voice was heard near the door while Aurora sat on the floor watching tv even though she. Oils watch it on her bed since the tv was high and big enough but she seemed more comfy on the floor.

"I'm fine" she replied not really in the mood for a conversation not looking away from the tv planning to not look at him while her attention is fully fixed into the screen as Tom and Jenny was on.

"But you're still healing from your injuries though and I don't want you to complain about your body aching again" he said again as he came into her room while she stayed silent watching tv not showing any interest of talking right now but wasn't she supposed to be grounded off the tv too.

"What? Tell me you don't secretly go on stuff without your dad knowing too, if not then you truly are scared" Aurora said smirking mimicking Astro as he froze unsure of what to think of this mischievous side of her right now since she was so serious, mad and scared but also scary at times.

"Is this some sort of challenge because I really have the feeling like things are going to end bad and we'll be in way more trouble as we already are!" Astro replied being the goody tooshoes right now making things a bit more hardly but Aurora really was bored and does want to hack her door so she could watch tv while elifun is at home.

"I just want to go to the park is that so hard to ask for around here?" She replied not acting like herself at all which seemed to be a bit off for Astro but he brushed it off still keeping his guard up just incase his dad really got rid of the controlling chip that was attached to her head which seemed unnoticed for a while until being spotted by his father.

"Fine, we'll go to the park but don't leave my side got it?" He said with crossed arms trying to be serious as Aurora stood up before standing straight showing him the real serious expression he was trying to mimic as he stood back suddenly realising that it was Aurora but why was she acting so strange today?

"No, you'll stay by my side this time because last time I had to follow your sorry ass inside the underground which almost got you killed" Aurora said making a very fair point since he followed his so called friends who led him into a trap not noticing the suspicious ways Aurora was acting but being curious was naturally for a 14 year old these days.

Astro and Aurora made their way sneaking out of the house as it still stands obvious that Aurora still doesn't trust him that much to allow him to fly her there or to touch her not really knowing that he was the one that carried her home to tenma. She is now able to walk right next to Astro after what he showed to her but she would still keep her guard up just Incase he does something stupid.

"Explain to me why you desperately wanted to go outside anyway?" Astro asked looking at Aurora as they slowly began to make their way onto the path that once laid her deceased mother.

"Just wanted to walk around breath in some fresh air and mostly came here to check something out" she replied as they came to that similar spot while Astro looked seeing no one around which was weird and suspicious as Aurora kneeled down to the floor placing her hand on the soft solid concrete where her body laid before being taken away obviously cleaning her blood too, but something seemed a bit off. Aurora gently moved her hand slowly across the concrete as Astro stayed behind watching her touch the floor confused way more confused than he already was.

"Why are you stroking the ground? Does it feel go or something?" Astro asked in a weird tone as Aurora snickered in response but really she was kinda analysing the floor since it was strangely warm while it slowly got colder the more further away she loved her hand.

"No, I just found a warm spot on the floor and don't worry it's not pee" she responded as he still cringed a bit but Aurora suddenly paused looking up seeing someone but to her seemed to recognise them but they also looked lost as she stood up looking at him, he quickly looked forward seeing her look at him startling him for a second before having the courage to walk up to her.

"What are you looking at?" Astro asked before looking at the direction she was staring at seeing the boy also noticing that he seemed to be lost and confused with a lot of anxiety heading towards them. Astro could tell that Aurora was really not in the mood to meet anymore robots or half humans but maybe he should do the talking instead.

Aurora's PoV:

I swear I knew this dude before but why can't I seem to get to where I saw him. I really wasn't in the mood to do anything especially making anymore friends but I bet Astro would like to though since he's very much of a softy not seeing the possible danger he could put himself in. The boy got close enough to us to actually start a conversation and talk to us but I wasn't really wanting to trust the kid just yet.

"Umm, h-hello" he stuttered a bit intimidated by my serious glare not really wanting anything to get in my way on inspecting the park a bit more without anyone tagging along really.

"Are you lost?" Astro asked as the boy just stared at me locking eye contact giving me quite a little bit of hesitation but the vibe he was giving me was in the middle but I wasn't really gonna take him out in front of Astro since he looks as human as I am meaning he could be a robot underneath there but I could also be wrong though.

"This is getting weird" I thought to myself as we continued to stare at each other until Astro grabbed my arm pulling away from him and into the forest part of the park which seemed to get us out of his view completely but he could be following us.

"I don't know what that kids problem is but he seems to be very interested in you and I don't want anything bad happening" Astro said pointing out the obvious as i rolled my eyes knowing that I already felt the bad vibe before he did anyway but Astro really needs to calm down he the kid will definitely find him with how loud his feet are. All of a sudden he stopped still holding my arm looking through some trees and bushes that covered us while I stood there waiting for him to get his hands off me or I will really scream.

"So can I continue looking around or are you gonna keep holding my arm?" I asked as he quickly noticed his hand before letting go with a nervous little laugh which stopped when he looked through the bush again while I stood still not really wanting to see what awaits in the other side but it seems to have caught Astro's attention, so I used my hands to move some bush so I could see before getting a glimpse of something interesting but what was it.

"What is that?" I asked looking at the strange looking ship thing but only robots were seen carrying stuff out of it as some glowed and some were just normal boxes loading them into a truck that was not strange either meaning that whatever they're transporting must be really important to use a truck to hide it.

"Some alien ship it something but I can't he sure of it" Astro replied back unsure of what to make to this sight we both were seeing right now but that was definitely an alien ship and the things they were carrying were illegal and dangerous if it is.

"Should we stop them?" I asked looking at him as his eyes went to me then back to the shop before pausing then looking back at me fully surprised or even shocked but he didn't seemed to want to go down there.

"Are you being serious?.... oh god you're aren't you!" He said complaining but I really wanted to see what it was but Astro was right it was a bit crazy of me to go a check it out but I want to see what it is and maybe take it to tenma and elifun.

"Maybe we can bring some back for your dad or something so they can check it out?" I said again seeing if he was interested in bringing it in for his dad to experiment on it instead of just walking in to adventure about for a bit.

He looked at me disappointed with what a smart suggestion I brought up before looking at the ship again.

"J-just be quick! I'll watch your back, remember just a little bit" Astro said as I stood up not bothered at all that he didn't want to go with me but at least he wouldn't on be dragging me down when I grab some of that glowing stuff. I slowly made my way out of the view sneaking past the guards and under the entrance platform before leaping over and heading inside seeing huge crates full of the stuff but there were red ones now which made me feel incredibly uncomfortable for some reason but I proceeded to search for something to put it on in but nothing was in sight so I just grabbed it and headed out like a total idiot allowing all the guards to see me.

"Ohh, heyy! Just making..... you know what I'm stealing this shit bye!!" I confessed before quickly making my way in Astro's direction but took a quick right dodging a little someone as they scraped my jacket ripping a hole near the pockets which made me mad, so I dropped the crate looking at the thing that came at me seeing the boy that I awkwardly made eye contact with earlier but his vibe was way darker than before making me sure to think before doing combat with him but was he really as robot or a human.

"What are you?" I asked as he tilted his head looking at me with those horrible evil piercing eyes that were once so innocent and suspicious making me want to fight him but I only just gained the ability to bring out my sword from my arms 2 days ago but I was still having the problem on bringing them out again.

I could easily make out the words was saying but it was just some glitchy text font meaning he's broken but why can I understand him but not Astro, thinking about the dude where is he? I looked around not seeing him anywhere but the crate behind me and the crazy boy boy in front of me obviously different from me since he had darker skin tone than me but his eyes were.... green?

"Where did you come from? Who sent you?!" I asked again maybe seeing if I could actually find out who was ordering this dude to follow me or whatever he wants to do in his spare time, but really where is Astro I could really use his help right now.

He kept repeating the word 'home' but where was his home he came from but this font can't really be a glitch right or is he really a language for robots to communicate to one another but if so then why can't Astro understand him.

"Where is home?" I asked as he pointed at the sky with a smile but all I could see was blue sky and clouds, as I looked down the little shit had the both to punch me sending me flying through the trees breaking some of them making a huge trail on the ground as i came to a stop hitting my head against one of the thick trees as the rest slowed down my momentum. I grunted holding a hand at my neck as I stretched it making it's weird magic thing happen again as I slowly got up out of the dirt clenching against the thick tree breaking a little bit of its bark watching the boy come closer to me as I began to stretch more parts of my body to reduce any sort of damage to my joints or anything really.

He spoke again but he was beginning to repeat himself which was starting to get on my nerves before allowing myself to get ready for combat seeing that this guys wasn't actually as human as he seemed to be earlier but why does he seem so familiar.

"Why can't I remember you? But yet you seem so familiar" I asked again getting more answers from this thing and maybe it might know why it seemed to be so familiar to it I could be making things up and hallucinating again.

I was really having about up to Pluto and back with this dude especially when he's trying to kill me but I need to get that crate to Tenma and quick but I can only do that if I take this guy down and the way he randomly brought out those blasters made it more clear that he was planning to kill me.

"If you wanna fight then come at me!" I said placing my hand in a staring boxing position waiting for him to come at me first really not wanting it to blast at me either or it'll ruin my clothes and I'll be way more trouble than I already am.

It was obvious that this guy was wanting to fight me or stealing some of that glowing stuff in that crate but did I really have to choose the only red one though I think it was the only Red one. He suddenly came straight for me with blasters armed and bloody hell was he strong when he stupidly waved them around like they were swords but missed my face as I blocked them using my arms and hands with the training simulator elifun put in the spare room which is gelling a lot in the case.

"I will not allow this guy to take me out by wrongly using his blasters in a fight!" I thought while deflecting every attack he came to me waiting for an opening. It probably took 5 minutes for me to be able to uppercut the dude sending him flying to the ground since I have gave him quite a piece of my mind and headed back to the crate seeing that it was still there so I quickly grabbed it and rushed through the woods again without Astro wondering where the hell he was but he could've rushed off or gotten some help but right now I need this stuff to get in the hands of a specialist in this stuff.

I used my legs to quickly make my way to the head ministry of science since Tenma and elifun are mostly there anyway building or making some new ideas on robots of pure energy or whatever scientists do. Some people stared at me since I was as short as a 13 year old and carrying a crate that was twice my size wasn't it supposed to be heavy but they would be shocked at what else I can lift. I had a feeling that I would be in trouble for doing this but I was the one who made Astro leave the house for this meaning that he should be left out of the punishment but he did leave me all alone or maybe he's knocked out in the park still.

"Aurora! What is that? Why are you here?" Tenma asked but elifun wasn't here meaning he could be checking on me at home as I placed the crate near him as it glowed red through the cracks making me feel a bit uneasy so I took a few feet away from it.

"Sorry but I need to find Astro, I'll be back" I said before going through his window as I went flying feet down before doing a roll on the floor preventing me from dinting the outside parking area before quickly rushing back to the park to try and find Astro.

As I made my way back I could that no one was still at the park which was supposed to be a bad thing for me to realise and go back home. I took a breath in before going back to the spot that Astro hid with me before allowing me to go in and get the crate but all that was left was a little dint in the ground indicating that he was attacked here which means he could've been taken away but that would be likely because they're footprints heading in the opposite direction meaning he could've escaped or is still battling someone right now.

"Aurora?" A voice asked as I jumped turning around seeing him standing there a bit ruffed up and confused seeing me here as I saw that his t-shirt was ripped around his collar born showing that he was flung around he was covered in mud and blue blood showing that he was fighting a robot.

"Where did you come from?" I asked surprised to see him as he smiled glad to see me alright but I wasn't in any better shape too as my jacket was a bit ripped and covered in dirty.

"I just finished taking out that crazy robot you left me with after you took the crate" he said as I realised the mistake I made before rubbing the back of my neck with a little nervous chuckle.

"Sorry, I thought that you left me" I said as he looked behind me then at me making me look behind me then at him a bit suspiciously seeing him smile a bit more weirdly which then I knew that this robot wasn't Astro.

"I knew you wouldn't hurt your own friends but who could say I can't mimic them" Alex's voice started to come through Astro's mouth meaning that right now this bit wasn't Astro it was Alex which is also indicating that Astro must be in trouble.

"Where's Astro?!" I asked demanding him to tell me where he was but all I got in response was a laugh as he looked at me like some one would do if they're bullying someone.

"Aww, did I make sissy mad" he said before laughing At me making way more itching to punch his face but he could be mind controlling him like he did to me days ago but this shouldn't be possible, should it?

"Answer me!" I said again closer to his face grabbing his collar showing no mercy to him surprising him that I am actually willing to go as far to hitting him but all I have to do I make him think that.

"It's just my special ability, I can control almost anyone unless I have a piece of their DNA or blood in my hand then they'll do what I say" he said telling his enemy his ability to take control of any host unless he had any piece of blood or DNA in his possession but how did he get Astro's.

"You can do that you're still in the underground you stupid queer!" I said purposely trying to make him mad as he just stared at me. I saw his fists clenched like he wanted to hit me but I was already one step ahead of him.

"You rat!" He said before swinging at me while I find the little chip that was placed on me which had the possibilities to control any target but it was hard to find one while dodging your opponent but if it was on his head that I should do the one thing I hated the most and that is hugging and if it helps get Astro back then I would do it.

"I'm gonna do something I hate out of everything so prepare yourself loser" I said as I pretended to look like I was getting read to fight but really I was going to do a quick move. Suddenly he began to rush at me before getting his blasters ready and charging up so I quickly went up to him wrapping my arms around his neck allowing me to reach the chip take it off and crush it before feeling the blasters hit my stomach.

"Aurora?" Astro's voice came through as I let go of him backing up holding the crushed chip in my hand as he looking down seeing that his blasters have been activated before noticing the hole in my jacket but the blaster didn't seem to go through me but it did hurt when it's blast touched my skin leaving a black smudge which could be cleaned off but this could also leave a little burn too from how hot it was.

"I'm so sorry!" He said apologising not realising-that it wasn't his fault it was Alex since he managed to get a chip into him earlier but that could've been the crazy boy that attacked me doing this for him meaning that Alex is still underground but for how long.

"I'm fine, it's Alex's doing so it wasn't your fault man" I said patting his shoulder as his hands were unsure to hold my arms or not incase I slam him to the floor again like last time.

"But my blasters they...." he said as looked at him serious and a bit tired making him stop winning way quicker than usual.

"If I let you sit next to me today while watching your favourite movie then would you promise not to say sorry every again" I said as he seemed unsure of what to think of this offer when Astro has a big habit of saying sorry and repeating himself.

"F-fine just don't slam dunk me okay" he relied back as I nodded before making are way back to his place to watch a movie not acting at all if we get it trouble or anything since today has been a pain in both of are backsides.

"Your jacket is ripped again, I just sowed it together Aurora" elifun said as I was unsure of how to explain myself in this one especially coming to Tenma with a red glowing crate earlier.

"Oh, also I should thank you for bringing that strange crate today it had showed some really good results but Tenma told me that you felt uneasy around the glowing substance, how's that?" Elifun asked again but I was really more confused than he was in why I was weak to that glowing red stuff it could be that I'm allergic to it or something. It could be the kriptonight I needed so bad to be my one and only weakness.

I shrugged my shoulders as he let us in the living room with are freshly chosen choice of pjs or maybe matching but mine was red and his were blue as I now have to sit next to him while watching a scary movie and I hated scary movies while he sits there sometimes not flinching at the jump scares as I hug the pillow I had next to me as a comfort thing until the movie finished.

No ones PoV:

It had been a few hours since they came back from the weird encounter with Alex, but Aurora didn't want Astro to ever go through anything like that again no matter what and if it keeps them away from the hidden force then shall be it but if they find out where they live then things are going to end bad to them.

Tenma came into the living room seeing the too sleeping as aurora's head was leaning on Astro shoulder as his head was leaning against her head since he was a little taller than her. Tenma sighed glad to see them asleep ignoring the tv before grabbing a blanket placing it on them not wanting them to get cold then Turing the tv off before heading to bed himself.
