Loved readers I bring you this gift... a last story before I truly am sucked into the never ending oblivion known as the EXAMS. Wish me luck! This is a trailer for one of my upcoming chapters, maybe the next one or the one after that. But whatever it is... here we GO!

Cora and Zane walked through destruction and bitter cold through the streets of Metro City.

It had been more than a week since the attacks started... red eyed robots bent on destroying anything within their sights that moved. And it had just been a week since Astro, the most powerful robot in Metro City, but more importantly a friend, was shut down. The two were on their way to see him now.

The attacks had started one fine day and simply escalated within a few hours. With Astro's help, the attacks were kept in check, and nobody got hurt. Then, Astro lost control. Cora and Zane would never forget the mad look in his eyes as Astro turned to face in their direction, cannon charged... not hesitating to shoot. Afternoon the next day, Astro was shut down.

Without Astro to help, the attacks got worse. First it was just waiters and housebots. Then more powerful robots, construction and military were affected. By now, half the city was level with the ground, and even with helicopters and police deployed everywhere, they can't keep up with how frequent the attacks are getting. More people areturning up with injuries every day, and so far there were also quite a few deaths.

Cora and Zane walked into the Ministry of Science, sighing as the warmth inside the ministry hit their faces. They looked around. The place was deserted, like it had usually been in the past few days. The only person there was a woman sitting at the front desk, who didn't even have to glance up to know it was them. They visited the same time every day.

The two walked into a section of the Ministry dedicated to showcasing the Ministry's achievements. Kind of like a museum... but for robots. Lying there inside a glass case, was Astro, serving as the centerpiece. Cora and Zane walked up to the unconscious form of their friend, still wearing his favorite outfit, and hair still styled in their usual spikes. How they wished so badly to see Astro's smile, to hear Astro's voice.

The Core was in a separate glass case right beside Astro's, spinning silently, and lighting up the room with a soft blue glow. Astro's heart and soul. They took Astro's heart and soul right out of his chest and out them both in separate glass cases. How dare they. But it's not like the two teens could do anything about it. Astro was here to stay for the time being, and wouldn't be out anytime soon.

Astro could HELP. So what if he went evil and destroyed a building? Deactivating him destroyed many more buildings and lives than that. Cora and Zane sadly walked back outside the Ministry to brave the weather and get to their houses.

If only they'd understand.

It's like, 1 in the night. My head hurts... a result of staying awake longer than 12. Yeah I think I should sleep now. Tell me what you think.
