Fully charged: Space Rulers

Chapter 4

(I removed pictures because it won't let me for some reason >:[ )

I drove as fast as I could, the map said we were almost at Moscow, but it didn't feel like it. The cool air was like a fat slap to my face, I should've put on my helmet. I looked at the gps... 4 minutes to Moscow I yelled out,
"FUCK THIS SHIT! I've been driving for so fucking long, where the FUCK is Moscow?"
And there it was, just my shitty luck, Moscow came into view for all its glory, spiraling tips and colorful buildings.
"Of fucking COURSE ITS MY GODDAMN LUCK!"
I yelled again. Wave looked at me with concern, so I turned my head and shot a glare at him, making him scared and turn his head around to the other side. I felt some kind of pride and guilt at that moment, I knew I shouldn't have done that but I still did. I just wanted to get this shit done. Driving through Moscow, we saw shops and people talking and walking around. I had a weird swelling in my lower abdomen area, it was painful, but I pressed through and continued driving. Going twists and turns,
"Fire, you need a break from driving, let me drive."
Said Wood,
"No fucking way, you'll get us crashed one way or another."
I retorted. It was true, one thing and he'd have us face first in the ground, but he pressed on.
"You've gotten angry at the map several times now, and broke several road laws, you need to get in the back seat."
I huffed and parked the car, we switched sides. I stuffed my fat ass into the back seat, kinda laying with my legs up on the other seats so I can actually fit. Wood got in and turned on the car before driving out of Moscow. He was driving slower but somehow was able to get us out of Moscow in a matter of minutes and back on the highway. He took international highways throughout the rest of Russia and into smaller Slavic countries that I honestly didn't bother to look at. We were passing though them in a matter of hours into the Germanic Union. We arrived in Poland, with no problems, which was very weird according to Wood but Wave and I didn't think of it too much. We arrived at Warsaw, Poland with the expectation of just passing through like Moscow, which did happen but we stopped to get some tools at a gas station before heading out. I walked inside the store and grabbed a pair of pliers and a E-Tank, then walked over to the counter. The kid looked at me before ringing up my stuff,
"You have an encounter soon, I can see it in your eyes."
I stopped for a second, staring at the kid before paying my stuff and quickly walking out, shit in my arms. I feared for the worst and hopped back in the car, situating myself. I gave Wave the pliers and cracked open my E-Tank.
"Mmh, it tastes like strawberries. I like it."
I said, I looked at the can, it was in Polish but had several translations. Wave got to the hood of the car and started to do whatever. He said something to Wood earlier and nodded, so I have no clue what he was doing.
"Strawberries? Shits nasty, we all know cherry is the best."
Wave said, Wood rolled his eyes and helped Wave with whatever. I reached over and grabbed the map... what was the kid talking about? I thought about it, it's not that bad, how are we going to recognize it?
"All done!!"
Wave exclaimed, I looked over and saw the two pull down the car hood and get back in before driving off. I felt the wind whip in my hair, and slowly crept my hand to Waves cheek and softly held it. He seemed to be surprised but leaned in, apparently liking it. We stayed like this for a hot minute before I retraced my hand. We were far out of Warsaw and into the country. I looked around and took in the plains, it was amazing, but hell striked when we passed by an abandoned train. We all sensed something from the train and collectively agreed to check it out. We hopped out of the car and made our way into the train. The smell of rust was horrible, and exited the train. Wave and I strapped on our helmets before walking straight in. I walked further until I saw a old broken down robot, sitting there with sunlight gazing down on them. An anthro train, covered by vines and flora, withered and deactivated. It was sad, but I guess that's life... I kept my distance, searching for something to poke it. I found a long stick, picking it up, I started to slowly poke the train... nothing. I sighed and tossed the stick to the side,
"You must be Charge Woman? I feel bad for you... stuck here all broken down, if I had the tools, I'd fix you up... I guess I can call Cossack."
I turned around to exit the room but then a large metal door came crashing down in front of me, yipping I turned around and saw her standing. Two human eyes stared at me, cold and dead. They were downturned and dark, a soft, low, long crying or groaning noise came from her. Horrified, I backed into the wall, and screamed for help...
... but nobody heard me...
...
She took a slow step towards me, the metal creaking and groaning as she stepped, it was gruesome. I took a fighting stance,
"So you wanna fuck with me?"
I challenged her, and she took the stance like she's gonna tackle my ass. Retracting my hand so it's now a buster, I aimed my flamethrower arm at her and shot a ball of fire. She dodged it, and made a whistle sound, and then shot several flaming coals upwards into the air, then falling down, like hellish rain. I tried to dodge them but got hit with some, leaving scorch marks on my armor. I immediately got taken down by my own sister, from what I've gathered is that she ran full force into me and it knocked me into a wall and I fell. I rapidly aimed my buster at her and fired away, hitting her several times before I could finish her off. The smell of mold and rust hurts, it's the smell of death for robots. I took one last blast of fire before a flaming liquid substance fired out, engulfing and encasing her entire body with a horrible scream. I stared in horror as to what I've done, seeing her melt under the new attack was dizzying. The metal door opened, with a final look at what was once my sister, but is now a flaming, sticky puddle of agony. I walked away, going through the door. My hands came out once again as I saw a small chip, the size of what can be a baseball, on the ground.
I picked it up, a black circle chip with a golden border with red and silver railroad tracks on it. It felt heavy and gave me the feeling that I could move the biggest mountain, which was surprising. I took out my inner compartment in my thigh and stashed it away there, before walking away to the car.
"Ah the man is back. What took you so long?"
I dropped to the floor, my hands covering my face, my helmet disappeared to show my real face, I cried with large tears streaming down my dark smooth rubber face and down my square jaw to the floor. The first time I've ever felt like this, was towards me murdering my sister.
"I- I didn't mean to! She- she was my sister! I killed her! I melted her!"
I sobbed into my hands, I felt arms wrap around me, stroking back my hair.
"It's going to be ok, there's nothing to-"
"You don't fucking know! You never had a sibling that you never knew, just met, just fought, and fucking melted with napalm!"
Wood looked at me, as he held me in his arms, I delved deep into his arms and chest, crying my eyes out. He had nothing to say as I kneeled there in pain, all he could do is comfort me.
"Wave can you drive? I'll be with Fire in the back seat."
From my blurry vision I saw him nod and take the drivers spot as Wood lifted me up and brought me to the back seat where I stuffed myself in. He got in, fitting easily and started to hug me, stroking back my hair like before. It was comforting, he was soft in his own way, I loved it, even in this twisted situation. We went down the highway, crossing into the Germanic Union. I was held as we passed through, until I closed my eyes. For what seemed like mere minutes was 2 hours of me sleeping on top of Wood, it was more of me crushing him in a snuggle hug but I was partially suffocating him because his head was now in my chest. Wave stopped the car at a motel, it was darkness apart from the lights. We walked into the office, I didn't hear a single thing but we got a room for the three of us to share. I layer slowly on the bed, with Wave and Wood laying either beside or on top of me, the three of us easily fell asleep.

It felt like we were together as lovers...
