Untold But Unforgotten (Taz/Up Fanfiction) EDITING PERIOD COMPLETE!

Chapter 12

Just as they were about to board the drop pod a guy stepped in their way. Taz wanted to scream, the stupid idiota! Why couldn't they just leave already?

"Whoa, hey there gang!" he said, smiling. He had brown hair and eyes, and he was very skinny. She wasn't sure if she liked him or not... "Thank dead God I caught you before drop down! I just wanted to get the chance to introduce myself. My name's Junior, maybe you've heard of me. Or my dad, he's the head of the whole Galactic League."

"Oh, I've heard of your dad!" Krayonder said.

"Yeah, I'm his son!" Junior said, stating the obvious.

Krayonder nodded. "Nice."

"I'm also this Starship's ambassador to the Galactic League," Junior continued. He looked around at all of them. "Uh-oh. I know what you’re thinking! Who's this ignorant gringo trying to flex on my ship? But, rest assured, I'm not here to ruffle anybody's feathers! Quite the opposite, actually. I'm just here to watch you fly. And to make sure this mission is run according to Galactic League standards, but don't tell anybody, kay?" Taz wanted to strangle him. Acting as though he was everyone's friend and being so... cheery.

And still he kept going. "Guys, I needed the best for this mission. That's why I hand-picked each and every single one of you, just like I hand-picked February."

"Drop down in one minute!"

"So what are you waiting for guys, get down there!" Junior shouted before adding in a nicer tone, "And when you rescue February, tell her Junior sent you."

"Drop down in twenty seconds!"

"Oh, no wait!" Oh mi Dios muerta! Did this guy ever. Shut. Up? "One more thing, I forgot. Sorry. I've got something that's going to make your job down on that planet a whole heck of a lot easier! It's the most advanced piece of technology the Galactic League has to offer!" They all perked up a bit, curious. Junior approached the door. "Allow me to introduce you to the final member of your team. Megagirl!" And with that he hit the button, opening the door, revealing a female sillouhette.

"Please state a command for me to service you."

Taz grabbed her gun from her back and had it aimed in seconds. Why would they have one of those here? Hadn't the wars taught them anything?

"It's a- a- a- a ROBOT!" Up yelled, ducking behind her. She wanted to yell at him for being a wimp, but at the same time understood why he of all people would run and hide.

"Wow, she's shiny!" Tootsie said. Was he really that dumb that that was all he could process?

Taz looked at Junior, who was smiling smugly. "Are jou loco, esay? What are jou thinking, bringing a robot on board?" she snapped.

"Now, I know the Robot Wars have left us all a little bit touchy, OK, but I believe that considering the billions of people who died to regain control of the robots, well, it's an insult to their memory not to use them as our unwilling slaves!"

Taz almost laughed. What did he know of losing people to the robots? Where did he find the right to talk about what would be an insult to their memory?

"Robots can't be trusted, mate! Jou know what the first thing a robot ever did, kill its creator. Then he made more evil robots!" she said, not backing down.

"All hail Astroboy!" Megagirl said, raising a fist in the air, stirring up another collective gasp.

"Yes, yes," Junior said, "but trust me, evil killing won't be a problem with Megagirl. Watch, Megagirl, can you kill humans?"

Megagirl stood there, eerily still. "No." Everyone relaxed, until she turned her head in Taz's direction. "But I'd like to." That caused everyone to raise their zappers again.
