Festival of The Robot King (Astro Boy X Reader) *ON HOLD*

No Robots

"We are live with the scene of a huge protest sponsored by an anti-robot group calling themselves the organics. We'll go down with Mr Drake and the group's leader and the group's leader Esra Kane who is about to address the crowd." A reporter reported as he and his crew flew above the protest grounds in a helicopter.

Esra Kane shook Mr Drake's hand and made his appearance on stage.

"Robots educate our children, they prepare our food, they drive our vehicles. We've grown to trust them everywhere without question, leaving our society terribly vunrable." He spoke.

From the distance, you watched in disdain as both Astro and Dr O'Shay approached the man from behind.

"Now with all of the latest advances of artificial intelligence, robots are evolving, developing feelings and emotions like humans. But let us not forget the damage caused by robots with feelings! Soon, they'll be trying to over throw man kind! Control the world! And by then it will be far too late to save ourselves. Stop them now!" Kane yelled.

You frowned at the protests and accusations Kane was making. Dr O'Shay shook his head and took a step forwards.

"That's ridiculous!" He then ran down to the stadium and looked up at Kane. "Look at the riot you're causing! This absolute rubbish!" He argued. Mr Drake glanced back at Dr O'Shay and frowned.

"Stay out of this, Dr O'Shay. You of all people should keep quiet having created all of these robot brains in the first place!" Drake snapped. You felt your anger boil at that insult and took a step forwards. Astro however pulled you back and shook his head.

Dr O'Shay stuck his nose up and Drake and frowned.

"Now wait a minute!" Astro furrowed his brow slightly at the scene. He then noticed a lone girl with curly brown hair and brown eyes playing by herself. She wore a blue vest and a pair of bright red shorts along with two yellow boots. He smiled and nudged you in the side.

"Hey Y/n, let's go over there." He suggested, trying to pull your attention away from the riot. You stuck your tongue out at Drake which he caught and followed Astro towards the girl.

The girl looked to be struggling with her toy as she attempted to keep four balls hovered in the air. She then winced when the bright yellow balls landed pitifully on the ground. She then noticed you and Astro staring at her and bent down to pick up the balls.

"Cool, my friend Kennedy has one or those." Astro said as he admired the toy. You kept your distance slightly but eyed the familiar toy. The girl smiled and handed Astro the toy.

"Can you show me how to do it?" She asked. Astro smiled and took the toy from her.

"Sure, it's easy! Watch." You were smiling at the two when you were shoved to the side by Kane. You cried out and barely managed to keep your balance. Astro frowned when Kane grabbed a hole of the girl's arm and dragged her behind him.

"Come along now, CJ." Kane said. He then gave Astro a nasty look. "Stay away from my daughter, robot. Go find a toaster to play with." He spat. Astro raised an eyebrow at this while you frowned.

"Attention, this rally has officially ended. You are ordered to immediately clear the streets. Violaters will be arrested." Detective Tawashi spoke from the intercom. Kane frowned up at the hovering police car and glanced back at the two of you.

"So the police have decided to protect machinery, instead of saving humanity." You shook your head.

"S-save humanity from what? You're the ones who are causing all the trouble!" You shot back. Kane turned towards you and gave you a look just as Detective Tawashi's car landed and he emerged.
