Astro Boy X Reader The Seven Souls

The Battle of Seven

Toby stood at the end of the hallway while holding you tightly to his chest. Optium stood on the opposite side of him with six stone warriors standing behind her.

"So, you called on your mightiest just to take back Seventh?" Toby taunted. Optium narrowed her eyes threatingely at him.

"Hand over Seventh. You don't know what you're getting yourself into, boy." Optium growled out. Toby eyed her.

"Neither do you, Optium." Toby told. Toby and Optium stared at each other for who knows how long before Toby glanced down at you. Your body felt cold and your face was almost grey. Optium too stared at you.

"You can't do anything. She has already fallen to the darkness. She doesn't harbour any feelings towards anyone anymore. You've already lost, boy. Now give her back to me before you get killed." Optium threatened. Toby gritted his teeth. He knew that he couldn't beat Optium on his own. But you were literally right in his arms! He couldn't just...

Your arm slipped off your stomach and hung loosely at your side. Toby furrowed his brow in concern. He then gritted his teeth in frustration. There was no where to run, he had no choice but to give you up.

Toby reluctantly laid your body on the floor. Optium smirked and snapped her fingers. Your body was immediately covered in darkness and and disappeared. You then reappeared in Optium's arms.

"Good boy, now, run along now. I don't want anymore interference. I quite like you, so I'll let you live." Optium admitted. Toby frowned at her. He then felt a strange sensation run through his body and he looked down to see Optium's darkness engulfing him. Toby clenched his eyes shut.

Alpha and the group landed on the soft green grass as the portal closed behind them. Alpha then looked up at the sky and his eyes widened. Although it was midday, the sun could barely be seen through the thick miasma that coated the land. Clouds of darkness blocked out the sun's rays, conveying the land into absolute darkness. Both Alpha and Error frowned distastefully at the sight that met them.

"It's even darker than I remember." Error muttered under his breath. Alpha eyed him. He then eyed the palace like structure in the distance. The miasma was much thicker in that area and almost blocked out the entire building from sight.

"We need to make our way towards the palace of seven. That's most likely where Optium is located." Alpha hypothesized. Everyone nodded their heads in agreement.

"We have to be careful, who knows how many enemies there are." Error warned. Pandora's brows creased together as she focused her attention on the miasma surrounding the building.

"I can sense a lot of enemies over there." She disclosed with the rest of the group. Pandemonium shared a look with Pandora. He then felt a shove behind him and turned around to see Starfire glowering at him.

"Get a move on!" She snapped. Pandemonium gave her an annoyed look.

"I hope something crushes you." He mumbled as he turned away. Starfire eyed him.

"You say somethi-GAH!" Everyone turned towards Starfire in surprise. Starfire had fallen face first onto the ground with Toby laying on top of her. Everyone immediately smiled.

"Toby!" They exclaimed. Classic held a hand out to him and pulled him up.

"You're alive!" Classic pointed out, relieved. Toby sweat dropped at him. Alpha pushed passed the others and looked at Toby in the eye.

"What did you find?" He immediately questioned. Toby dusted himself off as Robot held back an angry Starfire from killing him.

"I found Seventh." He revealed, shocking everyone.
