Robots 2 [Fanmade Sequel]

Chapter One : "Hero"

Ladies & Gentlebots!
Today, Robot City is back to normal and the Chop Shop has been shut down. Madame Gasket was found exposed with her ashes but Phineas T. Ratchet is nowhere to be found. All of this is direct thanks to the next successor of Bigweld Industries, also known as Rodney Copperbottom.
The city now calls him, "No Inventor" but a "Hero."

"Lights", Crank ordered, directing his camera. "Camera. Action!"
Rodney stood absolutely still behind the glare of the lights, speechless and almost shaky in front of the camera. The lines of which he remembered five seconds ago have left his mind. He looked to his friends as known as the Rusties, who cheered him on all the time.
"Cut!" Crank's voice sounded annoyed, of course, he was always cranky. "What was that Rodney!?"
"You try being behind a camera!" Rodney rubbed his eyes.
"I bet it's not even that hard", Piper said.
"You don't have to remember the lines and forget constantly", Rodney mumbled.
"Oh Rodney", Bigweld rolled to his successor. "Don't imagine the camera as a camera. Imagine it as someone you love and cherish and your showing them something great."
"Piper's right", a recognizable voice signed over Bigwled, "It's not that hard."
A slender body bot known as Cappy made her way through the crowd. She was a upgrade but Rodney always loved her since the day he fell in front of her on the first day they met.
"But I've never been in front of a camera before", Rodney said.
"You just need to relax", Cappy replied. "Bigwled is right about one thing but, do you want me to show you how to get it done?"
"Sure", Rodney rubbed the back of his head with a shrug, "I mean... I guess."
Cappy nodded. "Can I see the lines Diesel?"
Rodney stepped away next to Lug as Cappy read the script that was in Diesel's hands. Once they were finished, the un-speakable bot sapped back.
"Ready when you are Crank", Cappy stepped in the center and faced the camera.
"How does she do this without collapsing in embrassament?" Rodney whispered to Lug. "I never wanted to be on TV. Why can't they just accept that I wanted to be an Inventor?"
"And we're rolling", Crank started the camera with a good push of the button.
"Come on Rodney", Lug patted his back, "It's not that bad."
"Hello bots", Cappy smiled, "I'm Cappy Jade and today we will be learning the most important thing, friendship."
"I never wanted to be behind a camera in the first place." Rodney blew up. "And I'm getting so sick and tired of bots calling me a 'Hero' when I'm not!"
All the bots gasp and Cappy stopped speaking to the camera. No one spike a word or even blink for that matter.
Except for Crank when he turned the camera off. "And cut."
"Not a hero?!" Piper exclaimed.
"Why would you called yourself 'not a hero' Rodney?" Lug asked.
"Because I'm not." Rodney grew annoyed.
"Okay", Cappy sighed", everyone, go take a five minute break."
All the bots left, very silently, even quickly. Rodney and Cappy were alone, he didn't dare look up at her. Right now, her emerald eyes were burning.
"You need to get over this", Cappy started. "I honestly don't understand. Why don't you consider yourself a hero Rodney? You did save Robot City."
"I was a country bot, Cappy", Rodney explained, "not city. Country bots like me aren't used to be called a 'hero'. It's... you just don't get it."
"Actually, you don't get me." Cappy's eyes narrowed and her voice grew stern. "My parents were both Outmodes, I was one. I left my home so I could prove that they were wrong. I wanted to show the Upgrades that we were stronger than they thought. Now look at me!"
Rodney grew breathless, he never heard about Cappy's past, though she never spoke of it.
"Now, I'm one of them." Cappy scoffed.
Cappy rubbed her eyes and began to leave.
"Wait!" Rodney rose his voice quickly. "Don't... I'm sorry... I didn't mean... I... I just-"
"You need time for yourself", Cappy turned. "Call me or don't call me when you're ready."
She left quickly and Rodney grew almost numb and frowned deeply. He sat down on a small bench, almost losing his balance on his feet.
"But I always need you", Rodney whispered to himself.
"You ready for take two buddy?" Fender patted his friend's shoulder.
As soon as he saw Rodney lift his head with a frown, Fender's smiled disappeared. They were close friends ever since Rodney came to the city, more like brothers.
"Dah", Fender smiled and patted Rodney again, "we can do it later. Right now, you need to catch that train to see your family before you start your dream."
Fender grabbed the ticket that they had bought together and handed it to Rodney. He then smiled and nodded as he stood up, still a little wobbly but found his balance quickly.
"Thanks Fender", Rodney said, "I'll see you guys at the Train Station then?"
"You bet."
Rodney nodded with a great smile and hugged his friend. He left the stage as a Inventor and made his way to the Train Station.
