Part 3:  Rumbles n Tumbles

    You want to know some of the ways Atlas avoided being labeled a felon?

1. Graffiti: Using chalk powder sprays or non-toxic, water washable, bio-degradable paints.

2. Mechanical disassembly: To take apart any machine based piece of equipment where no pieces or parts are stolen, missing or lost in the process is not considered a felonious charge in Metro City.

3. Blocking traffic: The blocking of traffic during “non-peak times before or after the standard daily work hours of 7am to 4pm Monday thru Friday is not considered a felonious charge provided the blocking object can be removed or in the case of vehicles being used as the obstruction agent. Emergency services are provided the means to make removal of the obstruction as easy as possible.

4. Robot adult crimes charges: Robot’s who are designed to mimic certain human ages can not be charged with adult felonious charges until they reach that exact age in human years if under 18 years “designed appearance age” or 18 years when they reach their 18th year of operational life if their “designed appearance age” is over 18 years of age. If a robot is built to resemble the age of 13. Sed robot can not be charged with a felonious charge until he or she reaches the life span year of 13, unless the robot is involved in murder, assault on a human with intent to do serious bodily injury or commits an act whos’ sum total of expenses exceeds 200,000 yen.

      And would you believe this? It is not against the law for one robot to beat the snot and chips out of another robot so long as both robots ARE NOT in locations where their actions can threaten human lives or cause wide spread destruction of property. So Atlas would hit me fast and hard….non sexually you perverts...during any number of his little “protest” actions. That’s what he called them “Protest actions” against “The vile humans who rape our brothers and sisters and leave them broken on piles of defiled carcasses.” Can you guess who’s mind was more filled with sex?

     But seriously….Atlas saw me as a traitor to our kind but he sought to convert me first through intimidation before he wished to destroy me. So..often our fights were short, quick and extremely violent with me always stumbling back to Reno and Doctor O’Shay as if I’d been in ten car accidents a day. The repair bills were getting really expensive but I always found ways to dodge getting deputized and found myself performing creative “Ninjutsu” covering for Atlas’s antics.

     I know….sounds really stupid. Like Luke Skywalker huh? “I see the good in you father.” And I didn’t see complete evil in Atlas, I really did sympathize with him when it came to how some of our fellow robots were being treated by humans; especially by complete ass holes like Tokugawa. Now his son Daichi is a different story, I spent a lot of time keeping him out of trouble because like Tenma? The elder Tokugawa was a bad father and Daichi was being driven in the wrong direction. It’s part of my programming...where possible, allow no harm to come to humans if some logical reason declares such harm is not 100 percent of their making. For instance….if a human desires to pump themselves with drugs every day and live in a perpetual stupid stupor...I won’t give them money, I won’t give them the time of day. But if that same human suddenly cries out for help because they realize their mortality and they want out of addiction? I have no choice in the matter, I have to get involved.

     One day….Atlas dropped in on Tokugawa’s main headquarters and he made a show of it. He threw Daichi’s priceless crotch rocket motorcycle in the river. He hung Daichi from the company flag pole by his under wear. He destroyed a building on the site that was already marked to be demolished (wow….sure did Tokugawa a favor, saved him 800,000 yen in demolition costs) and…..laughing…..he spray painted a huge dick on the front of the headquarters building with the words “Tokugawa is a robot raper! Robots rise and resist!”

      (Shaking head) My gawd Atlas….does sex occupy your brain like 24/7 or what?

      The moment I got Daichi down off the flag pole...he kicked me, he cussed me out….that was understandable for the moment because he was extremely upset, he really couldn’t do me any harm and I was the first robot he could take his anger on. Except, we didn’t know Atlas was watching from a distance and I only had a second to push Daichi off his feet before Atlas crashed into me and I got my butt beaten keeping him from going after Daichi. It was the first time I heard Atlas say….

     “You filthy fucken human! You touch him again and I’ll fucken kill you!”

     I thought I was a traitor, the enemy, a turn coat, a sell out...yet Atlas was rip roaring emotionally pissed...”Why are you protecting them?!” He screamed at me. “What is wrong with you?!” Atlas slapped me in the face and flew off and you know what? I saw tears running down his face. Sort of a chink in the armor.

     Perhaps his desire to get some “face time” with me led to some pretty bizarre decisions on his part….like kidnapping. One day, Atlas showed up at Doctor O’Shay’s home; keep in mind that I was a ward of the Ministry of Science, I could not live by myself according to the law, so I had to live with Doctor O’Shay along with my younger sister Zoran. I told you about Zoran already.

       Atlas went up to our front door! He actually rang the door bell and my little sister met him…

      And….it was adoring love at first site...not really.

     “Where is Astro?!” Atlas commanded Zoran. “You tell him to come out here at once!”

      “Well….he’s not here right now.” Zoran replied.

      “So who are you?” Atlas asked.

      “I’m Astro’s little sister Zoran.” She replied.

      “Is that so?! You’re coming with me!” Atlas snapped at her and grabbed her wrist….big...big mistake.

      I was coming home from another engagement...actually a car accident I flew down to help. Just as I was coming up the walk of the house? Atlas came flying out the picture window, bounced over the concrete of the walk and slid to a stop on his back….at my feet….looking up at me….

    “Hi!” I said just as annoyingly cute as possible.

    “Hello.” Atlas replied frowning.

    “I see you met my little sister?” I asked.

    “Yes.” Atlas replied. “I do not want to meet her again. You keep her away from me.” 

     Another time was when I was in school. Our seventh grade teacher was Miss Myoki and I will not lie….I did have a crush on her. Well who shows up and climbs into the classroom through the window but Atlas…

    “I am here for Astro! Get out of that seat and fight me!” Atlas snapped as he stood taking a “big and bad as all get out” pose.

     I turned around in my chair and told him that we couldn’t fight in the classroom, he replied...”We’ll fight any where but you’re going to get out of that seat and we’re going to flight so get up!”

    Enter Miss Myoki...who tolerates no one bothering her class. “Astro is not going anywhere and what right do you think you have coming into MY classroom and disrupting OUR lessons young man!”

    Atlas replied...”I don’t move for a fat bag human with a big mouth.”

     That wasn’t a good thing to say to Miss Myoki and when she got angry? Big and bad didn’t save your butt….

“WHAP!WHAP!WHAP!WHAP!WHAP!….”

   Atlas was stunned, I was stunned, the whole class was just….stunned. Miss Myoki walked up, snatched Atlas by the wrist...and swatted his butt with a ruler! I cringed in my seat because I feared Atlas was going to explode…except...that didn’t happen.

    “Now sit!” Miss Myoki yelped and on command? Atlas sat in an empty desk next to me. Now? You would think all the other kids in the room would have gotten a laugh out of it, this was for Atlas the most embarrassing affront to his robot pride as all get out! He’d been spanked in front of all these little humans and for sure they were going to take full advantage of the situation...but no one did because...with Miss Myoki….no one dared.

     “You can have your time with Astro after my class is over.” She said sternly as she placed some paper and a pencil on his desk. “For now you can sit and learn something or doodle but in my classroom...you don’t act up.”

      When she walked away...Atlas looked at me and asked….”How could you let this happen to me? Did you see how she abused me? I thought you told me that you cared about our kind? Where were you then?”

     I replied...”You got yourself into your own dilemma. Do you think I want to get my butt spanked?”

     There were moments between us where we forgot we were robots and it was often that our little match-ups became hilarious comedies, like the time we cussed each other out in a bank parking lot because I’d thwarted Atlas from doing something really stupid...like welding all the bank doors shut. There we were in a Mexican stand off, ready to beat each other to scrap and an old women got between us and cussed us both out for being little “obscene naked miscreants” because all we had on were our moon boots and black shorts. And oh yes….Atlas got spanked again there too by the old woman’s umbrella...the scene was hilarious. Thank the gawd of robots that she didn’t whip his shorts down, that would have caused a ton of trouble.

      Over time, Atlas’s actions and acting out did get the results he wanted. Robots across Metro City began to protest in earnest for things like better maintenance coverage, compatible living wages, better legal representation and they championed Atlas’s continued assaults against wealthy and powerful industrial magnates like Tokugawa. But he also spawned a number of negative things like the racist “Keep Earth Human League” or “The KEIL as it was called. The KEIL was a group of self-professed vigilantes who screamed they would defend human kind at all costs against the growing rampages of robots. Funny….and totally stupid...that a lot of their propaganda went back to “terminator” films to stoke fears of the coming Robot Armageddon. The worst of their propaganda used “The Matrix” film series as their argument that robots would dictate terms of human slavery in the U.N. which led to more U.N. laws restricting us robots.

      Normally...when humans make me upset? I try not to be public about it. I’ll go off to some out of the way place to vent….maybe smash up a junked car or beat up on an unused concrete block or just sit and grumble...and one one or two occasions? Atlas would find me ranting….

    “You heard it too huh?” He asked me once as we sat on a car I had pulverized to a pancake. It was one of the rare times in our disagreements where we didn’t resort to fists, though it ended with the usual...”You’re so stupid and brain blocked. You defend these humans even when they’re obviously not worthy of your pain and punishment. I think you’re stupid.” parting comment from Atlas as we separated.

      And then came the day when the KIEL went from just words….to bombs. That day, the KIEL set off two bombs at a robot exposition down town. It was the first time Atlas and I acted in consort with each other. It was also the first time Atlas fell in love…..with Fire Fighters.

     To Atlas ok? Humans sucked. He didn’t discriminate at all….humans all sucked….save fire fighters….who strange enough are almost all humans. To Atlas? Fire fighters were the most noble beings on the planet. Both of us arrived between the first and second bombs going off and Atlas watched from the roof of another building as he saw firemen pouring into the building and carrying anyone out regardless of them being robots or humans and that had a profound affect on him. It awed him to witness such selflessness in action…

     I had not landed seconds before the second large bomb went off inside among the rescuing first responders. I hadn’t started to get into a run to fly into the building when Atlas blew by me in a screaming blur, knocking me on my butt as he shattered the front doors off their hinges…

      Moments later...Atlas started coming out carrying two firemen at a time. He saved seven of them that day. The one he couldn’t save, he wouldn’t leave the body until I coaxed him off it because he was so upset he could save the man. That day began his extra love affair which among his most treasured gifts is a large stuffed Teddy Bear dressed in fire fighter gear named “Pooky”. Disparage me and Atlas might blow it off. Disparage Pooky? And you might loose your house, your car, the place where you work and the comfort of your ass from a super wedgie from a really pissed off boy bot.

      Strange that you had a robot who had such a dislike for humans that he’d don anything good for them that turned out to land me and not him in a jail cell. I was at the Metro City Mall one day and sure enough, there’s this guy running through the lower court with Atlas inches from nailing him to the wall. Enter me thinking Atlas is about to pound on this poor guy so what do I do? I tackled Atlas into a water fountain and told him to chill out! He jumps up in my face, cussing me out, screaming at me and it is fights on right there in the Mall! We tore the fountain up, the food court up, the front glass doors up and we both ended up being hauled off to jail after getting “Taized” robot style and trust me….getting that kind of shock would turn a human to powder.

     So here we are in the police station lock up still bitching at each other and the police let who out? Atlas!

     When Inspector Towashi walked up, you bet I complained and blamed Atlas for all the damage but what did Towashi say?….

     “You Astro prevented the capture of a felon who pistol whipped a store clerk during a robbery whom Atlas almost had if YOU didn’t tackle him! The 80,000 yen bill for all the damage is on you little man! The Doctor is coming to post your bond. Sit and chill out.”

     Atlas passed by my cell with this big grin on his face...”Yup...stupid really fits you like always there...bitch.”

      Oh you bet I was hot….even hotter after the scolding I got from Doctor O’Shay...one of the few times he actually defended Atlas too.

      Then came the day Atlas had a sure victory right in his hands. The day I pulled a serious dumb ass mistake. There are times when I just want to leap off the spire of the Ministry and free fall for a little bit before lighting off my rocket boots; I love to base jump off tall buildings, cliffs, waterfalls….it really is exciting to do it! Well one day I leaped off the spire….before I should have, which I usually always did, check all my systems to make sure they were green…

    My leg rockets? They were not green but red. When I leaped off the spire….all my alarms and warnings went off! I saw “ENGINE MALFUNCTION” flash before my eyes! I also saw the concrete below coming at me like a bullet train and this was really going to hurt….as in…..crush beer can kind of hurt, which for me was going to be a “suck moment”. Any way I hit the ground, I would have hit hard enough to seriously damage my internal structure and this would have probably “killed me” in robot terms.

    At the last second before impact, my whole body went into shut down as a last ditch defense measure. I could see it in all the papers….”ROCKET RANGER KILLED BY STUPIDITY.”

    Atlas was going to have the victory he wanted and I was thinking he’d be overwhelmed with glee. With me out of the way? He could run over Metro City like a bull in a China shop.
