Got the thing?
Got the thing lets do this
Excellent! And try not to feel too bad when I beat you, heehee!
Uh huh right sure girl
5 4 3 2 go
Hey! Don’t be a cheater!
Millie chases after her friend, taking out any Lubots that approach her as she does.
(@lubot-prototype)
After the first is smashed, the Lubots begin streaming towards the 2 people who broke it, Luba talking through them as they approach
You are under arrest for breaking Lubots!!!! please dont resist!!!!
Millie drives her sword through one of the Approaching bots, flinging two more away with her telekinesis.
Not happening, kid! You’re not even the mayor anymore!
One of the new mayors committed a crime!!! and it was the one who started that special election!!!! so the election had to be ignored!!!!!
The stream of bots continues, seemingly coming faster the more are taken out
Millie unleashes her wings and takes flight, hoping to get a height advantage. Once she’s certain Clara won’t get hit, she sprays fire at the swarm.
Are you talking about Swatchman? Isn’t he literally the judge? I feel like they probably know more about the law than you do!
The fire seems to have the opposite of intended effect, causing the Lubots to move slightly faster towards their target.
Judges arent allowed to break the law!!! and he wasnt even doing his job!!!! he broke a criminal out of jail after refusing to put them on trial!!!!
Huh…alright then. No fire.
She goes back to plan A, attacking the bots with her sword and telekinesis, weaving out of the way whenever they get to close.
Things aren’t always black and white, kid. Sometimes laws are bad and need to be broken. Like…well…the ones you have in place.
The only law i made was to not break the cameras because it made it less safe for people!!! i didnt even go after people for breaking the house cameras!!! only the public cameras!!!!! i dont think thats a bad law to have when everything is going wrong all the time down here!!!!!!!
The Lubots begin trying to come from all around at once, hoping to surround Millie and overwhelm her from all sides
She sighs, stopping all the bots around her in place. She hasn’t destroyed them though…not yet at least.
You have good intentions, I’ll give you that. I doubt anyone here disagrees that things need to be safer down here. But this isn’t the way to do it. You are becoming a dictator.
The Lubots dont struggle against her hold, staying still and silent for a while before Luba speaks again in a soft voice.
Im trying to be good, but no matter what i seem to do people hate me...
even when it was just the ones in public, people were already breaking them and saying i was bad...
so i thought, if they hate me anyway, i might as well keep them as safe as i can, right? it doesnt matter what they think of me, as long as nothing can hurt them...
…
It isn’t too late to make things right. As horrible as all of this is, you’re just a kid. I don’t blame you for reacting like this.
Just…call off the robots, start apologizing to everyone, and…let the adults handle keeping people safe. Can you do that?
...
No, i cant.
While Millie is distracted, Lubot NEO approaches at incredible speeds from behind, stun canons charged and aimed at her, ready to fire at a moments notice
…oh shit shit uhhhh
BONK
Cmon girl we gotta get outta here gimme your hanpoof
Wh-OH SHIT-!
…
Um…thanks for the save.
Anytime girl mwah
Wanna take on the big one together?
Hell yes lets do it lmao
Alright…I’ll stay further back and keep it busy with telekinesis. You should use your teleportation to your advantage to get up close and personal. Sound good?
My bat yearns for blood. Or oil whatever
Love that energy. Let’s do this.
Millie backs away from the Lubot NEO, creating a whirlwind of sand around it in order to blind it.
The visor on the machine flicks between colors until it lands on one it likes, then it raises its arms, aiming its canons at Millie, then it quickly turns and fires a blast towards Clara.
Shit ok. I teleport out of the way before the blast can hit me because I’m just that cool and end up beside the bot, swinging at it with an embarrassingly weak bonk
Oh shit-nice dodging! You alright?
Never better aside from that weak ass hit. Sad little clank really
The Lubot doesnt react to the hit, instead quickly reaching a grabbing arm towards Clara as it re-aims its canons at Millie and begins charging another shot.
Millie reacts quickly, flinging the robot off balance and flying up to avoid the shot.
I avoid the grabber hand thingy but only narrowly and get pinched. Ow lmao
The Lubot gets knocked off balance as it fires its shot, causing it to launch wildly into the distance.
Dont do that!!!! i could hit someone i dont want to!!!!!!
The Machine reorients itself and begins to fly up to chase Millie.
Maybe don’t hit anyone with cannons! Just a thought!
Millie throws her sword at the robot, aiming for the face, before diving back to the ground. She lands near the ocean and stances up, knowing it won’t be far behind.
*A stream of aqua light streaks after the Lubot, aimed at the energy pylons keeping it aloft. A blue haired woman in a tiara stands at the treeline, her high-low skirt blown back from the blast. She's bracing her white-gloved finger gun with her other arm, and taking aim once more through her wrap-around visor. She doesn't look away but calls out to the two of you*
The heart is the weak point!
The Lubot whips around to face the new fighter, dodging the light but ignoring the sword even as it lodges in the side of its head.
KRILL??? GET OUT OF HERE THESE ARE DANGEROUS CRIMINALS!!!!!
You don't get to make that decision for me Luba. You don't know anything about me! Do you realize that I was an assassin before you were ever a blip in the sky??
*She levels her hand and fires another beam at center mass*
The Lubot blocks the shot with its more heavily armored canons.
Please Krill, i dont want to have to keep you at the tower again... i know you hate me now, but im really sorry. i just dont want to lose you!!!
*Her face hardens at the casual mention of being imprisoned again. The only response Luba receives is a glare, as she fires off several more shots, this time aimed for the joints of the legs*
Millie watches the conversation unfold while trying to come up with a plan. She needs to get her sword back somehow, without getting grabbed or blasted. She turns to face Clara.
…Heyyyy giiiiirl. Wanna do something really risky and probably kinda stupid?
Duh lmao. Always assume yes
Excellent. I need you to teleport in and get my sword for me, I can keep it stationary while you do.
Gladly. I’m sure this can’t go wrong at all
Where’s it again
Girl do you need glasses or something? It’s sticking out of its head, see?
…
And so what if I do
Well, fair enough then.
Anyway, you ready?
Course I am
I teleport in when its time and take the sword out without much struggle. But a few wires get fucked up as I shimmy it and I’ll pretend that was intentional and calculated. Whatever lmao I toss it to Millie
Nice! Thanks babygirl!
Millie catches the sword then flies up again, using the momentum to swing at the robots chest.
The Lubot remains distracted by Krill until the sword strikes its chest, it looks down at the gaping hole left by the blade, exposing the power core filled with star fire.
It is quickly followed by the Blue light from Krills finger gun hitting its legs, causing it to become unable to balance...
it looks to where Millie has landed and begins charging its stun canons as it takes aim at her.
*While the other two combatants harried the Lubot, Krill runs closer. She sees the opening as Millie carves a gash into the heart of the robot. Aqua energy surges around her hands again and as she directs it to that broken heart, she repeats the same words in her mind over and over again "I will not be contained, I will not be contained, I will not be contained"*
✨🫧 MANTIS SHRIMP POWER BUBBLE 🫧✨
The bubble is fired perfectly into the Lubots open defenses, the magic water dousing the flames within.
The lubot powers down, dropping its arms as the light fades from the canons.
The wings power off and it falls to the ground, completely dead.
