Astro Boy X Reader The Seven Souls

The nutcracker and the Robot King

You fell to your knees breathing heavily as the snow dampened your pants. Pandora was immediately by your side as she crouched down towards you.

"Hey, you alright? You look shaken up." Pandora pointed out. You swallowed hard and nodded.

"Y-yeah, I'm fine. He...was here." You whispered. Everyone furrowed their brow in confusion.

"Who was here?" Robot questioned. You bit your lip as you shook.

"Error. He was there. He was fighting A-Alpha." You told. Everyone's eyes widened. Starfire then growled.

"If he was there then we could have taken him out! We could have ended this!" She yelled. She then gritted her teeth and hugged herself tightly. "And why is it so damn cold here!?" You shook your head as Robot took off his shirt and gave it to Starfire.

"No, he can't be defeated that easily! He's...unstoppable at the moment. We're not strong enough. We need more allies, we need to collect the feathers of Tsubasa!" You cried. Everyone stared at you with wide eyes. They then glanced at each other.

Princess slowly walked towards you and crouched down to you. She then pulled you towards her and hugged you tightly.

"It's okay, Red. We'll stop Error. We'll collect the feathers of Tsubasa and stop Error. But first, can you tell us who Alpha is?" She questioned. You let out a shaky breath and nodded.

"Y-yes. Alpha...he's our ally. He's been fighting Error while I've been finding the feathers of Tsubasa. He...is keeping Error at bay from finding Seventh." You explained. Everyone nodded carefully and eyed each other. Pandemonium then crossed his arms over his chest and hummed thoughtfully to himself.

"Then why can't we just team up with Alpha to beat Error?" He pointed out. You sighed and shook your head.

"It's not that simple. Alpha is barely able to hold Error off. If we interfere, then Error would use that to his advantage. It's easier for Alpha to just keep holding Error off until we've found all of the feathers of Tsubasa." You explained. Pandemonium frowned even further at this.

King looked down at his attire, and pressed his lips into a thin line. He then looked around at his surroundings. It was really snowing a lot. A blizzard? While King was lost in thought, he noticed a patch of grass leading into the forest like a pathway. He narrowed his eyes and slowly crept towards the path.

Robot was trying to warm Starfire up when he noticed King walking off and turned towards him questioningly.

"King? Where are you going?" He asked. King stopped and glanced back at him. He then gestured towards the forest.

"Look, it stops snowing once you enter the forest." He pointed out. Your eyes widened at this. 'How is that even possible?' You thought silently to yourself, astonished. Starfire dashed towards the forest, desperate to get out of the cold. Everyone sweat dropped and soon followed her example.

Inside of the forest, everything seemed dead save for the lone path made of green grass. You looked around the dead forest and frowned.

"That's odd. Why is everything else dead, but there's a path of live green grass?" You wondered out loud. Starfire furrowed her brow in thought. Pandemonium raised an eyebrow at her.

"Careful, hothead. You don't want to hurt yourself." He warned. A tick mark appeared on Starfire's head and she glared at Pandemonium.

"Shut it pervert!" She yelled. She then looked ahead of her and put her hands to her ears. "Can't you goons hear that?" Everyone frowned and listened in for any signs of sound. Robot's eyes then widened.
