Not So Good Job Hunt

Rakal prints out a few copies of her resume, after getting ready and dressing up in her best attire, she felt ready as ever. She heads out with a nice looking purse and grasping a folder in her hands. She headed back to the plaza, dropping off her resume at any store that had a help wanted sign on her way.

She was just leaving the last building before the plaza and bumped into someone, dropping her folder, along with her papers. "Oh no!" She cried out and tried to gather them all up before the wind blows the majority of them away.

She heard someone laugh, but when she looked around to give a piece of her mind, they were gone. With a sigh, she got up and headed towards the plaza with only a handful of resumes left.

She was definitely going to Gar's first. KO was such a sweet kid and it would be fun to work with him. She walked in and walked up to the counter. "Welcome to Gar's." The purple hair girl said, barely paying attention to work.

"Hello," Rakal started, "I was wondering if there's an opening?" She asked as she took out on of the pages. The girl looks at Rakal, still looking bored, but had just a bit of interest in her eyes. "Sorry, as far as I know, we aren't, but I can take one of those to Mr. Gar, if you want." The girl offered.

"Oh, that'll be great. Guess he's not here right now?" Rakal asked and handed the resume to the clerk girl. "No, but he MIGHT be here later though." The girl stressed the might.

"Alright, cool. Well, thanks for the help ummm- Sorry, forgot to ask for your name." Rakal smiled, scratching the back of her head. The purple hair girl stared at her and gave her a smile. "Enid." Enid simply said.

Rakal thought how cool this girl was and started to back away. "Enid. Awesome! Well, see ya later." She bumped into a shelf, but luckily didn't knock it over. After that mini heart attack, she ran out the door, embarrassed beyond words.

"Nice first impression Rakal." She said to herself, getting a few looks from surrounding patrons. She pretend to cough and started to head to the next few shops.

After a few hours of rejections and lazy interviews, Rakal was able to finish her job search for the day. She noticed she had one more resume left, but there weren't anymore shops left. She felt a little rumble and a small box falls from the sky.

She decided to grab it before it landed, boosting herself up, and giving it hug before barreling down to the ground. "Ow... gotta work on my landing." She rubbed her head, but looked at the box as it opened.

"I am Jethro." A small blue bot was in it and started it's wheels forward, clearly not going anywhere while in her grasp. Rakal couldn't help but smile at the cute little thing and started to examine it. On the bottom, she sees the label, Boxmore.

"Now let's see here..." She said as she pried open a hatch. A small hole with a tiny note, stating to return to factory. She pressed it with a pen and set it down. It started to head across the street and followed it. Jethro was taking it's time, so she took out the sandwich she packed and started to have a late lunch.

The factory doors open and the little guy goes in with Rakal following. It goes up a small ramp and into a pool of lava. Rakal jumped a bit while watching this, but hears a loud, "I am Jethro." Across the room and it was blasted out again.

She looked around at all the machinery, knowing full well that this place must be the ones building robots to attack the plaza. She had to get out of there.

Rakal devoured the rest of her food and shoot flames from her feet to get her to the walkway above. Just in time too, because a small army of red robots came in, getting back to work. She tried to count how many were down there, but knew she'd be outnumbered.

"Who the heck are you?" A girl's voice asked, causing the alarms to go off. Everyone looks their way and the girl bot takes out her hand saws. "Don't you dare move." She growled and strikes at Rakal. Rakal dodged back and kicked at the bot's leg, causing her to trip off the walkway, but she quickly extended her arm to grab the handrails.

"Nice try, but you're gonna have to do better than that!" The orange robot flung herself up and Rakal dodged, just barely missed her neck. The shock caused her to fall back and the robot saw her chance for the final attack. Rakal held up her hand, blasting the robot's chest, melting a hole through it. She started to pant as she hears a herd of robots making their way from both sides.

She panics and dives back down, blasting some fire to the ground to break her fall a bit, but immediately regrets it when the ground was super hot for a moment. "That's another thing to work on, heat resistance." Rakal noted to herself and felt the ground rumble.

She sees a giant purple ball roll towards her and it was coming fast. She blast her hands towards it and pushed herself back into the wall. She quickly ducked as the ball barely missed her. She started to crawl away as a hand comes out of the ball and grabbed her ankle.

"Now, let's go see what Lord Boxman wants to do with you?" A one eyed head pops out. Rakal let out a tiny scream and she's carried off to an office. She's practically thrown in and lands in front of a huge desk.

"Sir, we found this girl in the factory. What shall we do to her?" The big purple bot asked. "Hmmm..." Rakal hears a voice from a chair facing away from her. "I think I can take care of this one. Go on ahead Ernesto." A chicken claw waved dismissively at Ernesto.

Ernesto slammed the door shut and Rakal could swear she heard some laughter on the other side. "Now, explain to me why you are IN MY FACTORY!" A round man screamed as he spun around to face Rakal.

Sweating nervously, she quickly bowed and squeaked out an, "I'm sorry!" Without thinking, she turned in her last resume. "I-I'm job searching and stumbled in here, Lord Boxman." She stuttered, feeling like she'll regret that later. Boxman looked at her resume and sees she put down dreaming about being a super hero.

He growled and tore up the piece of paper. "We aren't looking for anyone today. Don't call us, we won't call you." He said as he threw the pieces in the air and pressed a button.

A box formed around Rakal and she was blasted off. She felt the weight of the gravity push her down to the ground, then she floated a bit before being pushed up.

Just when she thought she was done for, the box finally lands and she fell flat on her face. "Ugh..." She gets knocked out as the box opens to the city dump.

Rakal woke up to the smell of something vial and coughs before coming to. She looked arund and growled at the situation she got herself into. She got up and tried her best to clean up her torn up clothes. Those robots really did a number on her and she wasn't ready for the Boxman's ride to the skies deal.

She jumped off the mountain of trash and landed on the ground. She makes her way out and started to walk towards the city just as the sun sets, hoping to find her way home before nightfall.
