Robot Protection Squad ✅

The Traitor Revealed

"Fl... Flamer..."

"Hey buddy. You awake?"

"Fla... mer..."

"Come on fella, try to snap out of it."

"Flam... er..."

"This oughta help."

"Ggggrhhaahh!" gasped Morgan, feeling water on his face.

"Hey, you're up." said a turtle, standing in front of Morgan.

"Where am I?" asked Morgan.

"You're in the swamp." answered the turtle, helping Morgan up.

"Flamer! Have you seen my friend anywhere?!?"

"Not sure. What does he look like?"

"Well he's an orange fox cat. He has spiky blue hair. Red vest. Blue jeans and a pair of dark shades."

"Nope, haven't seen him around. But I'll definitely look for him for ya. For now let's get you somewhere nice and dry."

As the two waded through the water Morgan noticed that the area didn't look destroyed.

"Has the robots ever been here?" asked Morgan.

"Robots?"

"Yeah."

"What is a robot?"

"They're big metal people who destroy things."

"Oh you mean Wirclangs."

"Wirclangs?"

"Yeah, that's the sound they make when they step foot in the swamp."

"So, water malfunctions them?"

"Seems like it."

     After walking for twenty minutes Geno and Morgan finally arrived at a small hut on a dry piece of land near the water.

"Here it is, my humble abode." said Geno, leading Morgan inside.

"Flamer!" cheered Morgan, walking inside the hut to see Flamer sitting in a hammock.

"Morgan!" said Flamer, hopping off the hammock to hug his friend "Where were you? I was looking all over for you?"

"I was laying in the water. Geno here found me."

"How you doing buddy." greeted Geno.

"Well I see you've all met." said the voice of an old gentleman coming from outside.

     Into the hut walked a white chameleon on a cane, wearing a red coat.

"Who are you?" asked Morgan.

"This is Professor Charles Klepton." said Geno "He lives here too. I'm his assistant."

"Charles Klepton?" asked Flamer "Why does that name sound familiar?"

"Professor Klepton was once a renowned scientist back in the day." explained Geno "Weren't you Professor?"

"I use to be..." said Klepton, sitting in a chair next to door "But those days are gone now."

"Wait... I remember." said Flamer "You made the prototype of the Robot Master."

"Wait, you made the Robot Master?" asked Morgan.

"I did, but it was no prototype." sighed Klepton.

"You mean... you created the real thing?" asked Flamer.

"I did." answered Klepton "If you care to listen, I will tell what happened and how the Robot Master came to be."

Meanwhile, in the village, the Robot Protection Squad arrives.

"Robot Protection Squad." laughed the Robot Master, standing on a building overlooking the squad "I've been expecting you."

"How did you know we were coming?" said Jerome.

"A little... hedgehog told me." answered the Robot Master, pointing to Jess.

"Jess?" gasped Mikayla.

"You were working with the Robot Master?" asked Jerome.

"I... I'm sorry..." frowned Jess.

"How could you do this?" said Jen.

"He promised... he would tell me... what happened to my mother and father." answered Jess, with tears streaming down her face.

"Enough squabbling!" commanded the Robot Master "Drop your weapons!"

"Why would we do that?" said Zin.

"Oh... I don't know..." said the Robot Master, stepping aside to reveal Sumi, standing behind him, scared "Maybe now you will listen."

     The Squad looked at each other and threw their weapons to the ground.

"Now let him go." growled Jerome.

"As you wish." said the Robot Master, picking up the child and tossing it off the roof.

"NO!!!" yelled Jess, catching Sumi in her hands and holding him as he cried "You monster!"

"And to think I hired you to be my spy." responded the Robot Master "Take them away! Lock them up with the princesses."

     The robot army aimed their guns at the squad, leading them to a nearby airship.

"That was beautiful, I got to say." laughed Clayton, clapping his hands "Well thought out, brilliantly executed. I hope those guys get exactly what's coming to them. YOU HEAR THAT YA LOSERS?!? THIS IS WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU MESS WITH ROBOTS!!!"

Suddenly Clayton felt himself being thrown from the roof and onto the ground below.

"Ow." groaned Clayton, holding to his head and looking up at the Robot Master "Why'd ya do that for?!?"

"Lock this imbecile as well!" commanded the Robot Master.

"What?!?" shouted Clayton as the bots surrounded him "After everything I did for you?!?"

"Precisely." answered the Robot Master "I have all I need now... I have no more use for you."

"YOU SNAKE!!!" shouted Clayton, as he was dragged away by the robots "RAT!!! YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS!!!"

"I already have." chuckled the Robot Master, turning towards the direction of his ship.
