Chapter Text

We start this adventure with SMG5 getting ready for work. What does he work as? He works as a cleaner for the earth. He picks up trash, puts it in a wheel barrel, pushes it to a big trash compressor, takes the dude and hauls it up a tower. Five got tired of doing that and made a little buddy. He named it MiniV. He’s happy that he named it like that. He was getting awfully lonely anyways.
 
   Now you might be thinking, ‘How are you surviving in that harsh environment and how are you breathing?’ Easy. Sunlight. When Five signed up for the job, they asked him if they have permission to give him a shot. Five was confused but accepted it anyways. The shot also slows down the aging process so Five is…old…but too old. Anyways, back to the little buddy, MiniV is a portable trash compressor. So when Five gives trash to him, he compresses it and makes it into a block for him to stack on top of others.

  Five, himself, survived thanks to sunlight, but also to MiniV. When a sandstorm happens and Five doesn’t have an food reserved, he send him out hoping that he wouldn’t die coming back or during the adventure. Thankfully that never happened. Now for Five’s appearance, his hair is medium length, born curly with blonde streaked lightly across it. Though it was messy and tangled. Five tried to brushed though it but gave up afterwards, ‘it was too tiring’ he said.

  He hid is mess of hair underneath a hat he found. It’s color was faded but it looked nice on him, it also had the Greek V on it, 5, his favorite number. The color? Periwinkle, his favorite color. His eyes are navy blue, light freckles spread across his nose and cheeks though it’s dirty due to working. He would wash it off but gave up since his face gets dirt all the time. His outfit didn’t really match with his hat but he doesn’t care, who else is going to see it? His outfit, a brown button up, stained from working, pants, over used shoes that needs to change, yellow gloves that are dirtied due to work with trash, goggles on top of his hat. 

  He’s the only one alive on earth. Not saying that he’s to only human, no, he knows that the humans who left are still alive….maybe. But all his co-workers died due to the sandstorm, not getting sunlight, etc. it’s a harsh environment here. Five haven’t seen anything green in forever. He’s pretty sure that he will never see any other color then faded or worn out colors, and all the brown color he sees. Anyways, enough this let’s get to it, huh?

___________________________

   Five gives trash to mini V. He compresses it and spats it out. 
“Thank you!” Five picks it up and places it on top of another cube. The process repeats over and over again, music plays in the background as he does it. When he placed a cube on the wall he saw something shining. It was a hubcap. He takes it out and puts it in his cooler. After a bit of stacking and collecting, the sun is near the end of the sky, signaling it to be around six in the evening. Five stop the music, “Time to go home mini me.” He picks up his cooler and his robot. Then he starts to go down the tall tower of trash cubes. 

  Has he walks, he passes by broken and abandoned buildings, highways, and through the entire city. Most of them are branded with the same logo. The logo? ‘Buy N Large’ Five didn’t really know much about it but he guesses it was big if they have maybe stuff branded with there own logo. Stores, restaurants, banks, even transportation! Five didn’t like it but he works for them. He doesn’t know how they got so big but it happened. Five steps over newspapers that littered the ground. On the news paper is stated something about ‘too much trash’ and ‘BNL CEO declares global emergency’. 

  Five passes by some skeletons. He trips over something, but he catches himself. His shoe though…the bottom of it broke. “Oh god damn it…” he cursed. He looks at the skeleton shoes and his shoes.

…

  Five is walking down, with a jump in his steps, wearing new shoes, “I guess it was time to change those huh mini me?” He chuckles lightly. MiniV didn’t really say anything but a ‘Blegh!’ noise. “I need to make a voice box for you…” Even with his robot companion, Five couldn’t help but feel lonely. He’s been wanting friends ever since his crew died. But even with the crew…he was always the cast out. No one ever talked to him. No one ever wanted to hang out with him. He always had the urge of having friendship. But he could never get it. 

  Five shakes his head, clearing out the dark thoughts. He passes by a billboard that advertise them, the clean up crew. Five passes by an even bigger billboard that advertised the ship. It’s says something about automated crew, entertainment, fine dining, etc. They also have hovering chairs. Five thinks it’s stupid and lazy. He’s happy that he got this job instead of going into space. 

  Five eventually made it home. His house? A WALL-E unit transport truck. Made by the same company that destroyed earth. Five walks up to the rear of the truck and pulls a lever down. The back of it lovers and Five heads inside. Inside are a bunch of moving shelves. It was used for putting away your tools or something, but Five uses it to store all his stuff he collected. 

  He takes off his shoes and hat and places them near the shelf. He walks towards his t.v and flicks on the Betamax player, jury-rigged to an IPod. Five takes the cassette on top of it and places it inside. The cassette is label ‘Hello Dolly!’ Though on the t.v it’s poor quality but all Five cares is the music it plays. He hums to it has he opens his cooler.

  Five smiles, he takes out the hubcap from the cooler. He hums in thought, looking at the t.v. He smiles and mimics the dancers on the t.v screen. “Haha! Look at me mini me! I’m a dancer!” MiniV rolled his eyes.

  Five continue to hum to the song as he unpacks his cooler. A plastic spork, a Rubik’s cube that is unsolved, and a zippo lighter. He presses a button by the rack of shelves. He stops when he sees what he is looking for. The zippo lighter joins with the rest of the lighters.

  A new song plays on the t.v and Five quickly presses record on his record. Five watches as a couple sing gently to each other, holding hands and…kissing… Five watches and holds his hands together. Five always wanted to know what love feels like. Though…he will never get to experience it. Five shakes his head. “Enough of that Five, you have MiniV that’s all you need… no one else will come here…right?” He looks over at his shoulder, at MiniV.

MiniV didn’t answer. He already knew the answer though.

_____________________

  Night time was rolling around, Five goes outside and bangs the cooler against the door, cleaning out the dust and sand that got in it. He presses play on his recorder. The new song plays. Five notices the wind picking up, the light on his chest pocket lights up, he looks up into the night and sees a sand storm picking up. “Oh fuck... Not another one. I thought there wasn’t supposed to be another one until next month. Did it go by that fast?” Five hates the storm. Five presses a button and the door closes just as the storm hits them.

  Five eats a Twinkie as he passes by MiniV, getting ready to charge. “Good night little buddy. See ya in the morning. Five lays down on a his bed. He’s tired after a hard days work so just as soon as he lays his head on the pillow, he’s out. He hopes for new friends. But that will never come true, right?

Chapter Text

It was the next morning, Five groans. His chest pocket’s light was flashing. He is low on energy, sunlight. Five sits up, puts his hat and shoes on and groggily walks outside. “God damn…I’m so tired…” he climbs on the roof and lays there. The sun shines brightly on him. Five smiles at the warmth it brings. 

  After a bit, his charge meter chimed. “Finally! I swear it goes slower and slower with charging up.” he hops down and sees MiniV with the cooler, “Ah! Thanks mini me!” He puts his goggles on, grabs them both and heads off to work.

______________________

  During work, Five found a bunch of things. Like a bra. Five didn’t know what it was used for. He heard his female co-workers talking about them but not much. He puts it over his eyes. “Uhh…I don’t think it’s supposed to work like this…huh?” Five takes the bra off and throws it in his cooler. “I’ll find out later.” 

   Five found a set of car keys. “Oooohhh! What are these buttons for?” He presses it. In the distance, a car alarm go off, startling Five. “AHH! Oh. Hehehe….oops..” he throws it in his cooler. 

  Five found a paddle ball. Five try’s it out but fails miserably at it. “How does anyone find this thing…entertaining?” He glares at it. He throws it over the cooler.

  Five found a small box and opens it. Inside was a diamond ring. “Ooooohhh!” He threw the ring out. “This is a nice case! I’ll make use of you.” He puts it in his cooler. 

  Next he found a rubber ducky, a bobble head doll, an old boot, and a trophy. Five found a fire extinguisher. “Hmm? What is this?” He presses something and gets launched to the other side of the ground. Where white stuff spews out. “Oof! Ugh…” he holds his head, a bit dizzy. “That… was…so cool!” He smiles brightly. “Hehehehahha!” He stand up. He looks behind him and sees a refrigerator. “Oh! I haven’t seen these in forever! How to open it though?”

…

  Five uses MiniV welding beam to cut right down the middle. The door falls apart and reveals what’s inside. Five takes off his goggles, amazed, “Is that…is that what I think it is?” It’s a plant. A seedling.

 “Holy fuck it is! Mini me! It’s a plant! Hahahahahaha! It’s a miracle! A god damn miracle! Quick! Give me the boot we found.” MiniV hands him the boot. Five takes out his small shovel and carefully extracts it from the ground to the boot, dusting off the dirt from its leaf.

….

 “It’s amazing mini me! A plant! Here, hold this safely please.” MiniV opens his stomach and Five places the plant in it carefully. The door closes.

 “Let’s get hom-“ Five stops talking and stares at the ground. He looks surprised. MiniV is confused and looked at what he was looking at. A red dot on the ground “What…” Five moves and tries to touch it but it moves. “Huh? Get back here!” He drops his stuff and runs after the dot. MiniV runs after him. 

  Five runs after the dot. He doesn’t realize that the scenery aorund him changes into something more polluted and empty. Suddenly a bunch of dot appear and goes to the center. Five slows down, a bit out of breath and try’s to touch the dot. He touches it but couldn’t get a hold of it. “Ah…I’m an idiot…it’s just light…but-“ then the ground shakes. 

  “HOLYSHIT!” Five is scared and confused. MiniV grabs his attention. 

 “What?!” MiniV jumps up.

 “What-“ he looks up and see a rocket.

 “FUCK RUN!” He grabs a hold of his robot and makes a run for it. He got blocked a couple of times by fire before telling his robot to dig a hole, and quick, for the both of them. 

…

  Five pokes his head out of the dirt. The ground red and hot from the heat. Five is shaking slightly out of fear. “You okay mini me?” MiniV chimed. Five is happy that the shot also helps him..stuff like this…he doesn’t think normal people would survive something like this. The shot also strengthens him and his insides. He like a super human.

 “Good…” he tries to get up but bangs his head.

 “Ow what the fuck!” He looks up and bangs his fist. Metal…

 “is this…a space ship?” Suddenly a portal like door opens. Five tries to find some where to hide but there no where to hide. Five try’s to hide himself in the shadows. MiniV puts a rock on top of his makers head. A device lower to the ground, scanning the area. Five creeps a bit closer to get a better look. The device unfolds and two capsules descends from a chute. The capsule open to reveal two men. 

  One of them was dressed in a blue and white. The overalls were white and his shirt is blue and long sleeved. On his head is a hat similar to his own, but blue and his initial is an ‘S’. His arms and lower legs are more…robotic with slim blue lights stretched on the sides of it.

  Same with the purple one but his lights are purple and have a skull and spikes on his shoes. He was wearing more darker colors. Black and purple. Black overalls with a long sleeved shirt. On his head was the same hat but purple and has a skull on it. 

  They both have visors on their face. It’s translucent so you can see their eyes. They both look around the place. 

  “Woah…” Five is amazed. He hasn’t seen people looking this handsome. He is hypnotized by their beauty and looks. He wonders if they could be friends….maybe more? Five have read about ‘love at first sight’ he though it was a bunch of lies. But right here, right now, Five can feel it. In his heart. His heart is beating rapidly, his cheeks hot and red, and him smiling goofy at them. He couldn’t look away. He couldn’t help but get closer.

  The two human-robot both look at each other and nod. They began to walk around. The device rises back up, where Five was hiding. “shit-!” He rushes for cover, but doesn’t take his eyes off of the pair. The tow walk farther away from him and the ship. The ship roars back to life. Five squeaks and ducks back into his hole. The rocket takes off. 

  Five appear from the ground once more, looking around for the two new people. He spots them looks up at the sky, watching the rocket takes off. The pair click their heels and began to hover. Soon they flew up in the sky and began to fly around. Five could here one them faintly shout ‘Wooohooo!’ The pair zoom past him. Five, hypothesized, walks up to where they were, the pair slowly descending to the ground.

“Did you have to do that Four?”

“Hey! I haven’t got to fly in an open area in forever. Besides you did it too!” The blue one points his finger at him, accusing him.

“I was only following you to make sure you didn’t get lost or something!” He crosses his arms.

  Five could hear them what sounds like arguing. He sneaked up closer to them and hides behind a boulder. He takes a step and slips. The pair both immediately shut up, turns around fast, aiming their guns at the noise and shoots. The smoke clears and nothings there.

“Must have been the wind blowing the rocks down.” The blu- Four put his gun away. 

“You never know Four, it could be something else.” The purple one hesitated on putting his gun away.

“Your too paranoid Three.”  

“I AM NOT!” The purp- Three shoved his gun away.

They two walks away, scanning and talking to each other.

  With Five, he moves out of what’s left of the boulder, shivering and scared. What the hell?! Who are those two?! Five couldn’t help be wanting to follow them. He wants to know more about them. So that what Five does. He starts to follow them quietly after telling MiniV to go home.

Chapter Text

  Three and Four wanders though the pillars of cubed trash, scanning random areas or items. Five follows and watches them from the shadow. Still too frightened to approach them after the whole ‘shooting the boulder to oblivion.’ When the move somewhere else, Five follows after them. He couldn’t help it. They are very handsome and interesting.

 Four and Three goes near a mound of tires, Five hiding near by. Five admirers them but then hears a familiar noise…Five looks and flinches when he sees his companion, MiniV, approaching them from behind. FUCK NO! MINI ME GET OUT OF THERE! Five wanted to shout but didn’t want to get caught spying them.

  Three heard something and shoots his gun at it, scaring Five to death. Five thought he was dead but MiniV comes about of the crater, perfectly fine. Five let out a small sigh of relief. He doesn’t know how he is alive but thankful nonetheless. 

“How the hell…?” Three looks at his gun and at the small robot.

“Huh. That interesting…it survived your attack.” Four lowers his hand…hands…and let the small robot roll over to him and getting in his arms. “Awww…” Four giggles.

“Really..? Your touching it?” Three didn’t want to admit it but he also thought that the robot is cute. 

“Why not? It’s adorable! I wonder who made it?”

Five relaxes, chuckles to himself. He’s glad that they like him. 

Three heard the chuckle, turned around, locks eyes with him, causing Five to gasp, and fires his gun at him. Five dodges the blasts, trash flinging everywhere around him. Soon Five didn’t have anywhere to hide, he was fully exposed. Five curled up on the ground, shaking in fear. 

Four grabs Three’s wrist, holding his fire. “Three wait.” Four whispers to him and looks at Five. “Identify yourself.” Four walks to him slowly, Three following behind him. “Repeat. Identify yourself.”

Five uncurls a bit, his voice caught in his throat. He couldn’t believe it. They were real. And up close…they looks so…handsome. MiniV jumps out of Four’s arms and rolls over to his owner. Three moves his free hand up and scan him. Red light appears in front of his visor. “Let’s go Four. It’s not worth our time. And it’s not what we are looking for anyways.” He put his gun away. Four hesitated before nodding. The two click their heels and hover away. Five watches them floating away, lovestruck, and sighs.

…..

It was the next day Four and Three are still looking for whatever it is they are looking for but now in a supermarket, Five is following them, like a lost puppy. 

“Hm?” Three looks over his shoulder and looks at Five. Five panics and bumps into a rack of shopping carts. Thanks to the bump, the cart got lose and are now rolling towards Five. Five runs away from it, try’s to open the front door but can’t. “OH FUCK-!” A bunch of carts topple over him. Four is surprised while Three is grinning, trying to hold his laughter. 

….

It was night time, Five is perched onto of a roof, watching Four and Three fly, scanning the ground, still looking for something. Five wants to ask what they are looking for but couldn’t find the words. “Mini me…do you think they will talk to me more? Or..will they leave once they found what they are looking for?” MiniV doesn’t know the answer. “Hm…I wish I can help them find what their looking for..” Five hums as he sees both of the half robots land. He could heard they faintly talking about something. They both go into their sleep mode. Before the ship left, it left two box on the ground. Five assume that it might be their homes. 

Five walks quietly up to the two homes. He listens…their asleep. Five smiles widely and begins to make something with the help of his little companion.

…..

It was the next morning, Four and Three exits their box homes, yawing a bit. They both did a double take.

“The hell?!”

“Woah…”

There were two statues, one each of them, made out of trash. 

“Come on Four, we have a mission.” Three tugs his arm, away from the two statues.

Hiding behind a pile of pillars is Five. Five grumbles a bit. He lost a night of sleep for nothing. He kicks the pipes in anger. The pipes let’s lose and pile on top of him. “Ow…”

….

Four and Three looked everywhere, a car engine, port-a-potty, Apollo caspule, a freighter hold, everything. They are both getting frustrated.

“What the hell?! Why is this so god damn hard!” Three kicks a can away.

“I don’t know Three. I’m just as mad as you are.” Four is a bit calmer then him but nevertheless, also upset.

They were walking above a crane magnet when they both get pulled up, stuck. 

“GODDAMNIT!” Three shoot the entire ship. Getting them freed.

“THREE WHAT THE HELL!?” 

“DID YOU HAVE A BETTER IDEA TO GET US UNSTUCK?!”

Five is startled. He never heard a fight this close. Eventually the two let up and slumped on an anchor, glaring at nothing. Five is concerned for the two, cautiously walked toward them and sat at the other end of the anchor. No one said anything for a while. Five would slowly…very slowly…get closer to the two. Five finally got his courage and was about to say something but Four beats him to it. 

“So what’s your story?” 

Five jumps, and falls backward in surprise. Me? He points to himself.

Three speaks up but in two different language, “German, Janpanese?”

Four continues it, “Swahili? English?”

Five nods, “I understand that. I understand English.”

Four smiles, “Directive?”

Five is a bit confused, “Directive? Oh! You mean work. I’m a trash compressor. I take trash, either give it to my little buddy or big compressor, and it compresses it to trash, and I stack them. What about you? What’s your directive?”

Four was about to speak until Three beats him to it, “That’s classified.”

“Ah…sorry.”

Three scans his chest. “Name?”

“My name? You want to know my name? My name is SMG5 but I like to shorten it to Five.”

“S-M-G-5? Five?” Three says, testing out the name.

Five melts. His name exiting his mouth sounds like heaven, he moves a bit closer to the two. 

Four smiles, “Five, I’m Four, my purple friend here is name Three..”

“Four and Three…it’s nice to meet you guys!” Five smiles brightly, he giggles a bit.

Four couldn’t help but giggle as well. Three smiles a bit.

Suddenly the wind picks up. Th light on Five’s chest lights up. “Oh shit…we got to go!” He reaches to grab the two.

Three didn’t like that, “Hey! No! Don’t come any closer!” He aims his gun at him. Five starts to panic, why doesn’t he get that their in danger?!

The storm rushes up to them from behind. Five puts his googles on quickly and curls into a ball. Both of the half robots are lost, disoriented.

“Five? Five?!” Four calls out into the storm. A hand reaches and grabs his hand calmly, along with Three. He leads them back to his home.

….

The door opens and Five pulls the two inside, quickly closes the door. “There…we’re safe now.” He takes off his goggles.

Three coughs up a bit of sand.

Five hits a switch. The Christmas lights turns on, filling the room with colors and light, his knickknacks presented on the many shelves. Both of the half robots are surprised.

“This is my home, come on in.” 

“This…is your home?” Four ask, looking around curiously.

“Yep! Me and mini me home. Oh! Let me show you some of my collections!” He runs over to his shelves and grabs a few things.

“This is an egg beater” he hands it to Four. Four immediately begins to spin it.

“This is bubble wrap!” He hands it to Three, Three pops the bubbles.

“This is a lightbulb!” He gives it to Four. When Four holds it, it lights up. “Woah! What?! You can do that!? That’s so cool! Anyways! A this is a rubik’s cube.” He gives it to Three. Three solves the cube immediately, surprising Five.

“And this is a tape!” He gives it to Four. Both Four and Three inspects it. Four undos the tape. Five looks back at them with a smile but so one turns into horror. “My tape!!! No!” He grabs it back out of his hands, surprisingl Four and Three. He rewinds the tape using a pencil and carefully puts it back in. It still works “Sorry about that…this tape is really important to me…” he looks back at them with an apologetic smile, “What do you think?” He mimics the dancing on the tv to encourage them to try.

Four and Three doesn’t really do it though. Five smiles, embarrassed, “Maybe a different move?” He spins in a circle, arms out. “How about you try?”

Three try’s it but his hands turns into knifes and strikes Five with it. Five flew to his shelves, holding left his eye. “Ow…fuck..”

Four gets worried, “Oh no! Are you okay! He didn’t mean to do that I swear!” He could see the blood dripping down onto the ground.

“You okay?!” Three ran up to him, his hands normal again.

Five holds his free hand out. “No no no! Don’t worry! It’s fine.” He stands up and presses a button. The shelves moves to a certain spot and he stops it. He takes a tool box and opens it. Inside is many light green glowing shots with the universal red plus sign on it. Five takes on and gives himself a shot. He removes his hand from his eye and they saw the wound all healed up. “They gave us shots incase if something like this would happen, I’m okay, see?” He puts the tool box away.

“Oh thank fuck. I though you would’ve lost your eye.” Three sighs out of relief.

“Are you sure your okay?” Four is still a bit worried.

“I’m fine.” Five smiles.

Three sees the collection of lighters and takes one. He flicks it open and turns it on.

“Woah! What the?! That’s so cool!” Five steps a bit closer, eyeing the small fire but then looks up at Three. Three’s focus is on the lighter still, the tiny fire flickering between them, the hello dolly movie playing in the back ground…Five wants to express his love…to the both of them. Four walks up to them, also looking at the fire. Five musters his courage and reaches out with both of his hand to hold one of theirs. Three turns and looks at him, Four does the same, Five freezes and retracts his hands. 

Three and Four are intrigued by the tv.  Three and Four scan the image of the lovers singing. Five watches them, but then remembers something. “OH! I have something to show you guys! It’s amazing!” He rummaged through his home, looking for MiniV.

Four and Three chuckles at his antics. Something about him…makes them feel…warm. They put there attention back to the tv. Three lits the lighter on again. A tap on both of their shoulder draws their attention. They see Five holding something “Look! It’s a-“

“Plant!” Three drops the lighter, uses his tractor beam and snatches the plant away. It disappears in his hands and passes. Four does the same. They both fall to the ground. A loud thud echo in his home.

“Four…Three..?” Five whispers out, scared and confused

Chapter Text

“Four…Three?” Five is stunned. What happened?! Why is there a glowing green light on their arms?! Are they okay?! “Four…Three?” He bends down and waves his hand in front of Four and then Three.  “Guys..?” He knocked his fist lightly on their chests. Nothing… “Guys!? Come on!” Five is getting worried more and more, gently shaking them. 

__________

It was morning, Five dragging them up to his charging spot on the roof, aiming them at the sun, hoping they would wake up. “Come on guys…please wake up…” 

Several hot days passed, Five was trying not to die of heat exhaustion as he stayed by their side, still waiting. “Don’t…worry guys…I’m not leaving until…you wake up..”

A thunderstorm approaches, Five holds up two umbrellas over their heads. He gets struck by lighting, but calmly holds up another before getting struck again. “Fucking-…I’m not leaving your guy’s sides…”

A sandstorm passes by, and Five shakes his hair, trying to get rid of the sand that built up on him. He lifts up two trash cans that revealed Four and Three, not covered in sand thanks to the trash cans. “Hehe! Told you I would protect you guys!”

Five would talk to them, like they were still wake. He told them all the fun stories he has and all the bad days he had. He talked for so long that his voice grew a bit horse. “Sorry if I’m annoying you guys…I haven’t talked with anyone in so long…it was just me and mini me before you two arrive…it gets lonely when it’s just me….”

Thanks to the hover shoes they both wear, Five dragged them along on a walk using Christmas lights. He took them on a boat ride, softly singing a tune. And when the sun was setting, as they sat down at and empty bay, Five carved their names on a piece wood. ‘Three+Five+Four’ Five sat between them looking at their hands longingly before attempting to hold them. But something told him not to, so he pulled his hands back. “Maybe one day…” he muttered, looking out at the sunset.

_______
 
   He gently puts the t.v down on top of the roof, Four and Three still powered off besides him, sitting down and leaning against two boxes with pillow on their backs. Five is play ping pong, he kept moving the  controller back and forth between Four and Three. But after hitting nine hundred and ninety nine points, he looks at them expectingly. Still nothing. Five sighed, finally giving up. “It’s hopeless…I should have never showed them the plant!” He throw the controller on the ground. He stands up, and heads inside to sleep.

It was the next morning, Five picks up his cooler and MiniV. He looks back at the two. Still nothing… Five frowns and heads to work, defeated.

After a while of doing the same thing over and over again motionless, he took out a zippo lighter out form his pocket. He flicks it open and flicks it a couple times. The wind was blowing hard, blowing out the lighter. Five grits his teeth, “You son of a-“ Suddenly Five could hear distant rumbling. Five gasped and looked at his home. A bright glow was lowering down through the clouds. “Oh no.” Five sprints off as fast as he can, holding onto MiniV as tight as he can. 

Over at his home, the spaceship towers over his home, two robot arms picked Four and Three up, into the cargo hold. Five rushes even faster to them. “NOO! FOUR! THREE!” He reaches to the end of the collapsed bridge ramp, forced to see the two disappear into the ship, the cargo door slamming shut. The rockets’s first three engines start up. Five quickly gets down and heads towards the hill of rubble to the ship. He puts MiniV down. “I’m sorry mini me! I don’t want you getting hurt! Please stay here!” Mini me let’s out sad beeps but stays anyways. Five kisses his head and quickly runs towards the ship.

_____

Inside the ship, you see Four and Three secured into a slot. There are many other people like him, but only Four and Three has the glowing and blinking green light.

___________

Outside, you see Five climbing up the ladder like sides. The ship ignites. Five holding onto dear life, not knowing if he would survive this. The ship takes off into space.

Five holds on tight, his hand turning white. He looks up  and screams. “OH FUCK!” A bunch of satellites all made form the same company, ‘BNL’, littered the outer atmosphere. Five dodges some of the satellites. The ship makes it pass the orbit and into space, where it shuts the boasters off, leaving Five into the dark quietness. He looks around, “Ooohh…hey! I’m in space…and I’m fine! Hahaha! The shot works out here!” Five cheers, keeping his grip on the ladder. He looks though the window and sees Four and Three, “Guys! Hey!” He waves at them. Still no response… “Don’t worry guys…I’ll be here for you..I won’t give up again..” Five smiles softly.

He wonders where they are all going…

Chapter Text

During the trip of being in space, the ship passes by the moon, a billboard stand next to the abandoned Apollo moon rover. “Oh…so that’s what happened to it..”

The ship passes by the sun, Five smiles as he feels the heat radiating off of it, recharging fast. “Who knows how long it’ll be until I get the chance to charge again...”

 The ship cruises alongside saturn’s outer rings. Five places his hands through the tiny pieces of ice and rocks. “Sooo cool~!” His eyes have stars in them. (Kind of like Steven universe) 

A few days(?) passed by. Five held on to the ladder and when he wanted sleep, he would use his belt and hook it around the ladder so he could sleep. The ship passes by a dumbbell nebula, slowly twisting in space. Five is mesmerized by it, “Woah…so pretty! Guys look! Isn’t it so pretty? Aww man!” Five would still talk to them as if their awake. He hope that they can hear him speaking. 

Five let his eyes wander until he is now looking at a light, growing more and more bigger. “What the..?” Five looks closer and realizes that it’s a star liner. A very big mother ship. The ship, axiom, heads straight for it. “Oh…so that’s where we are heading..don’t worry guys! I’ll be with you all the alway!” He smiles confidently.

Two tug-rockets guide the ship in. The ship lockets onto the giant braces on it. The impact made Five let go, hitting the ground. “Ow…” He landed in the scaffolding of the front brace. Suddenly a bunch of robot arms appeared, some from the ceiling, some from the ground. Even service bots. They were all attending to the ship. “Woah…” he never saw this many robots before.

Four and Three, along with two other, slide out of the ship’s side and are suspended horizontally on a rack. Five was surprised to see them facing him. Unfortunately they are both still powered down. “Come on guys…when will you wake up?” He whispers. A squad of cleaners emerge onto the deck. A small roller brush bot, kind of like the size of MiniV if not a bit bigger then the small robot. Five looks and saw his name was Eggcat, as he leads the group. The small robot looks like a cat…but..also an egg? It has holographic ears and is looking pretty serious.

It holds its brush up, “Hold up.” They all stop and a line appears on the ground, “Okay. Go.” They all moved and got into a line. A crane lowers Four and Three. The small bot scanned the both of them.

F0ur: 20% of foreign contamination.

Thr33: 16% of foreign contamination.

The cat bot is disgusted, starts its brush and began to clean the both of them. Starting from their boots to there hands and to their face, it was a bit hard for the small bot, thankfully the vacuum not helped him with that.

Five studies their routine, and climbed down to Four and Three. When the crane returns, Five poses as one of them. The crane grabs him. He giggled a bit but then clears his throat. The small cat bot turns around to clean the next person, Five is lowered to him. The small bit is confused and scans him. 

???: 100% of foreign contamination.

Eeggcat is horrified by the results, a red siren light rises from his head. “Oh, no, no, no. This is all wrong.” He scrubs his shoe hard. Five flinched and did a tiny yelp. He used his foot to shove the little bot. The small bot was confused but moved to clean him again. Five backs up, leaving dirty shoes prints on the ground. Eggcat didn’t like that. “You made the floor all dirty! Stop that!” He cleans the floor. Five looks down at the small cat bot, amused by him. 

What Five didn’t see was two bots coming on of the wall, acting like hovering caution signs. A small bot, Gopher, shoots out of a tube. He bears epaulets like shoulders and a siren for a face. He beeps an order and the stewards follows. 

But with Five and eggcat, the little bot finished cleaning the ground. Five was surprised at how clean the ground is. “Man you clean well..” Five mutters and then smirks, he purposely makes another footmark. The small bot cleans it, as it can’t resists its program.

“Look, it stays clean. You got that?” The small cat bot glares at Five. Five kneels to his hight, raises his glove and wipes his dirty glove on his adorable cat face, while smirking. He removes his hand and saw that now the small cat bot has a smudged hand print on its face. The small cat bot losses it and scrubs it’s face furiously. 

Five laughs, enjoying its reaction. Five notices the steward boxes arriving and quickly gets back into position. The gopher begins to scan each of the people. It reaches to Five, scans him and goes to the next person-wait. He turns back to see the person home. He shrugs it off and proceeds. What he didn’t know was that Five was behind Four, sighing out of relief. 

The cop bot scans Four, alerted by the green light it looks at Three, scans him and also sees the green light. Everything stops. A green light alarms and everything goes green. Tow hover beds glides up to the gopher, two cranes rest one of them on each orphan the bed, the cop bot goes into the diver seat. Everything is happening too fast for Five to get his head wrapped around. He then saw them heading into an elevator. “Guys!” Five chases after them, grabs a hold of the back of the bed and disappears into the elevator.

The cleaning crew flies out, following the glow lines back to their hold. Eggcat stops. He notices dirty footprints on the ground.

Forgein contamination.

The tracks leads to the elevator. The small bot needs to clean up the mess. He looks at the line and at the ground. He jumps off of it, expecting to die….but he didn’t. He did a short celebration and started to clean the dirty footprints.
