Electroid's - A Collaboration Project

Chapter 3 - The Ship

It must've been a while since I collapsed, because when I woke up, the sky was filled with smoke and it looked like it was evening. I don't remember clearly, but everything was spinning around, and something extremely heavy was on my back. I weakly lifted my head up, and I started hearing what was around me again. Sirens, people talking, loud footsteps, and much more. With what felt like all of my strength, I pushed the heavy object off of me.

"Over there! There's a survivor!" I heard someone shout. I then hear running, but everything is still swirling and blurry that I can't make out which direction they're coming in. I noticed there was blurry text on the object I pushed off of me. I blinked about 60 times to understand it, but it did no help. I realized the thing was a robot arm! I think something happened to the robot, and it's like 600 pound arm fell right onto me.

Back to the point, someone gently started to pick me up. I guess that repaired my vision somehow, because though everything was still spinning, I could make out that weird text. The label read 'Riverbrick Productions' Of course! It was them who destroyed my ceremony! River-freaking-brick Productions! It should've occured to me much earlier, but my brain wasn't working well at that time. Riverbrick Productions and my business have been rivals ever since the beginning. They copied us, and claimed we were copying them. They have a dang lawyer that's really good, so we almost got shut down a few times. Thankfully the truth got to the judge's head so we stayed.

Anyway, they took me away into a bus like vehicle, but they had comfortable seats so we can safely lay on them. I blacked out once more, I guess from the sudden movement, but when I woke up, I guess my newfound Electroid powers were going into action.

Again, I weakly woke up and everything was blurry but thankfully not spinning. I was in this little rolly-bed thing and being rolled into this giant grey ship thing. I was put onboard of what now seemed to be a huge spaceship, and was put into then a medium sized medical room that was intended for if something like this happened.

Who would have ever known that this, this would ever happen to me. Me, out of everyone on the whole earth, it was me. This random guy who just signed a very important document, and literally sings in the shower was the one who would be boarded onto a huge spaceship. This random guy who actually reads the Apple iTunes terms of service is going out of Earth right into Sector 302.

Then it hit me, what if.. No, that's not possible. I know exactly why they did it. Riverbrick Productions purposely did this to try and stop my company from overachieving them. Yes that's exactly what happened. Yes. It's the only logical explanation for hundreds of thousands of robots all made from the stupid, no I need a better word for them. Oh! Idiots working for a company that is carelessly slapping their label on some stock-robot.

Anyways, putting my bottled up emotions aside, my point is it was obviously them who would have done this kind of thing. I mean, we're their arch nemesis. We accomplished way more than they ever will. So where was I, oh yes. I then realized why Riverbrick Productions had done all this, and sooner or later they would eventually pay for what they have done to this company. My ceremony. People's lives. I know they'll pay sometime.

All that aside, I didn't know where I was. Nor did I know where I was going, or when--if I'd even make it back home. All I knew is that Mr. Perez was gone, the ceremony was attacked, and I blacked out before. I had no clue where I was or why. None. Nothing came to mind.

"Attention ship. Attention ship," An announcement blasted in the loudspeakers, "We will now take off in exactly 5 minutes. Make sure you have everything you need before we leave Earth." Wait, I thought. We're..gonna leave Earth?! A few minutes of panic and confusion went by, and then a loud countdown began on the loudspeakers. I took a deep breath, and prepared mentally. I braced myself for the pressure and held on tight to the blankets.

"3..2..1. WE WILL NOW TAKE OFF. LEAVING EARTH. LEAVING EARTH." I then felt a huge jerk in my stomach, like a meteor crashing down onto my body. It pushed me down so far, I felt like my stomach became a crater. In what seemed to be a split second, I was shot out of the atmosphere of Earth. All I could see was the huge gas cloud in space. The sun. All I saw was the sun which gave off enough light so I could see some stuff in the ship. I saw a lot of darkness and, wait, I thought. Could that be..It is. It is. It is! Oh no. I knew what was coming. I knew how much danger I'd be in.
