Thanks, love the story but not the meanness of Skunk, how dare him want Astroboy dead.
ps- what else would i expect of Skunk, he needs niceness and intelligence lessons.
Fan Fic....Dueling Walkies
1am
Roof of 156-7 Kitsume Street across from
the Hirame Art Conservatory
Shorty fussed and fidgeted madly as he scanned the Conservatory with his binoculars. Hey boss I dont think Atlas is gonna show, hes like passing up the golden hour you know.
Skunk sat coolly sipping a coke. Hell show. If anything hell be here because he hates my guts. I bet the recording of his girlfriend screaming in his ears gave him the heevies.
Hunk shook his hands .Quiet you guys, I see him.
Skunk snatched the telescope from Hunk and smirked evilly. See Hes punctual. Now just storm in there and get the jewels .and dont burn them up Atlas.
Skunk watched as Atlas approached the front door when suddenly something came screaming down the street like a rocket, tore Atlas off his feet and slammed him into a wall!
Skunk fell back shaking his head before stumbling back to see Astro Boy clobbering Atlas brutally with punches so hard that the robot was thrown into the air like a rag doll! A flying down kick cracked the pavement as Atlass limp body crashed with a resounding thud, Astro picked him up and slammed him into a trashcan!
Skunk was gape mouthed with astonishment as Astro stood wiping his hands with the most evil grin on his face. The boy bot sauntered up to the glass door of the Conservatory, wound up an arm and smashed it to pieces. The alarm must have been disconnected because the boy bot calmly walked inside then emerged minutes later giggling and admiring whatever was in his backpack like a child at a Halloween party.
Astro walked back to the trashcan, pulled Atlass boots off and stuffed them into his pack before calmly walking off whistling to himself.
Skunk looked as if hed seen a ghost.
Boss? Did Astro just? Shorty asked as he and Hunk were just as confused.
That .that little bastard. He just took my jewels. Skunk slapped Shorty in the head. Wake up idiot! Go and check on Atlas!
Shorty tore down the stairs, out the door and ran across the street to the trashcan. He looked inside to find Atlas with smoke and sparks coming out of his busted chest door. Holy .Boss! Boss he ..Astro killed Atlas!
Skunk frowned. He killed Atlas? He took my jewels .Something wonderful has happened! We gotta find Astro! Wait for us Shorty.
Shorty walked off and the crooks got their vehicle and drove off. It was an hour later when Atlas climbed out of the trashcan and pulled the bundle of hot melted wire from his chest cavity Ugh!....now Ill stink of copper and plastic for a week. Atlas walked for a little bit moaning and grumbling. The least he could have done was dropped my boots someplace. I hope he knows what hes doing.
Little League Ballfield
West Kodaima
4am
The fireworks were a nice touch, if not ridiculous. Astro landed atop the backstop and read the scrawled message in the dirt below. He could always count on Skunks greed, especially when he got robbed of what he thought was his.
The message was simple a half circle, topped by cat ears with a reversible anagram below it.
Meet 291-7 Saitoma anytime.
By now the early news was report that Astro had robbed the Conservatory and that the busted up remains of Atlas were in the hands of the local police. Astro patted his backpack with a devious grin. He sat quietly for a moment, tapping his head and brainstorming a story spin. He opened his chest cavity, sat typing a few commands and program lines into his behavior processor then sat brooding and practicing his mannerism.
The fat weeble kept blowing me off Astro thought about it That big fat stupid weeble kept blowing me off, why do you think Im a little ticked!
Ohhh that was close. Astro said to himself. At first he thought about plugging a few swear words in for good measure, then he thought again. Skunk would get tipped off for sure.

I know I've said this a million times, but I ADORE how you write Skunk. I can't wait to see what happens!

291-7 Saitoma
10am
Astro Took a swig of the soda in his hand, swished it around his mouth and spat it out. Without a care he tossed the can over his shoulder and walked a few paces before turning to look. "That'll work." He said to himself as he picked up the can and bounced it in his hand. He walked up to the run down business building and knocked on the back door.
"Hey Skunk, you gonna open or what?" Astro snarled. "Fine! I'll just take these and go." Shorty opened the door as Astro turned his back. "The boss wants to see you but he wants to make sure you're not packing."
Astro pushed Shorty aside. "Shut up you idiot, I'm a whole weapon. Where's the duck-billed-plata-puss?" Astro stood tapping his toe till Skunk came out of another room. "Well...I gotta say I'm a little shocked. What's wrong Astro? You had too moon-light or what?"
Astro looked around, spied a Subway sandwitch and grabbed it off a plate. "HEY! That's mine you stupid paper weight!" Shorty screamed.
"Calm down.."Skunk snorted. "Let the kid have it, I'll get you another one. So tell me Astro, have you flipped or what?"
Astro flopped on a ripped up sofa and huffed. "Yeah right. I finally realized what a slave I've been. You know how many times that fat mule O'Shay blew me off when I asked for a little spending money? The last time was this "Arctic expedition". I busted my hump, burned out a few circuit cards and suffered over-heating stress and when I ask for 200 bucks in spending money? "Thanks for the good job Astro Boy now shoo!"
Astro moaped. "Now I know what his deal was all this time. One day he'll just walk into my bedroom, unplug me and mount me in a glass case at the Museaum of Technology. Make me look like one of them stupid broken anamatronic dolls, well screw him!"
Hunk's head snapped. "Isn't he a little angry."
Astro gave hunk a mean look..."Misent eee a wittle angwy....shut up tall, dark n stupid! Where did you get these guys, a mentaly limited second hand goodwill? Hey dopey, do you ask for the price at a dollar store? sheesh!"
"Hey, calm down kid." Skunk said smiling.
"You need some help?" Astro said smirking. "Because from the looks of it you need a better planner."
Skunk snorted. "I'm still a little suspect of you. I know you "killed" Atlas."
"Hmph....whimp. He started to become more used to humans, that's why we didn't fight as much any more. Then he found a girlfriend and "poof" gave up all his terrorizing and power desires for that. I was planning for us to gang up, "Oh no....not me...I'm done being stupid." So I had to you know...."whack him".
Skunk smiled evilly. "What a happy reversal....So I suspect you'll want a 60-40 split?"
"Duh.....doy!" Astro replied. "I'll be doing most of the work so did you think I wouldn't risk being used again? And I'm far better than that stupid red crayon with the dorking yellow hair by far."
Astro leaned back, squirmed in the sofa and ripped the pack of cigerettes from Hunk's pocket. "So tell me...did you guys rip off his girlfriend? Now that he's dead I don't see the point in lugging her everywhere." Astro poped a cig in his mouth and struck a match.
"Oh yeah. The boss has the broade locked up in that room."
Astro grinned...."Oh yeah?"

Oh man.... this just gets better and better.
He's very believable! And poor Shorty, getting his sandwich stolen, lol. I like how Astro's acting all tough but still talks like a kid, using dork and by far my favorite... "duh.... doy!"
A great line:

CRASH!
A sudden shattering of glass and splintering off wood came from beyond the room door where Skunk had Vivian tied to a chair. The sudden laughter from Astro revealed the obvious trick as Shorty bounded to the door to the room and threw it open
He caught the dust blast from Atlass rockets as he lifted Vivian away in his arms! DAMN IT! WEVE BEEN TRICK .
Shorty didnt get his words out before Astro jumped him from behind, snatched him up and threw him into the old sofa so hard that it exploded!
A strong THRACK to the back caused Astro to grit his teeth and shake his head. He caught the metal baseball bat with a swooping hand and crushed it before Hunk with the meanest look in his face. Ugh .how many times do I have to tell you crooks? YOU NEED A ROCKET LAUNCHER!
Astro kicked Hunks legs out from under him and wrapped the bat around his ankles like a bull fighter. Naturally, Skunk had done the brave thing and ran while his two flunkies took the brunt of his adversarys attention
Astro looked around, smirked and shook his head as he heard the sound of a motorcycle engine. I shouldnt torture the guy.
Skunk was screeching and swerving around street corners and through narrow ally ways dangerously dodging trash, cars and other obstacles as he looked around for a pursuer. His panic suddenly shot through the roof as a pair of small arms wrapped around his waist!
Stop Skunk! Astro implored before he pulled Skunk off the out of control motorcycle. It slammed into a parked car and exploded in flames as Astro dropped him in a mesh trash can holder on the sidewalk.
Why do you keep going South like this? Astro asked, shaking his head. You always end up doing the same sorry stuff Skunk, why cant you just give up this stupid
Skunk wasnt interested in Astros caring, that was obvious when the laser gun came out of the trash and a light bolt tore past Astros head!
Suddenly a red blur came out of no where and smacked the weapon from Skunks hand. He got lifted out of the trash can and his face grimaced with the obvious impact to the gutt from a strong red fist!
Atlas blasted up into the air with the helpless Skunk thrashing and screaming in his hands. Astro looked upwards and soon floated along side the two hovering figures. Atlass face was contorted in a seriously mean and dangerous scowl he was actually growling like an angry dog.
Ok Atlas .Ill take him. Astro said as he tried to pull on an arm. Atlas wasnt giving. Hey .let go.
Atlas looked sideways and back at Skunk. Im at the right height. Hell bust his legs, maybe his back, one thing for sure hell never walk again to cause anyone any trouble.
Astro reached over and pulled on Atlass hands. You know you cant do that let me cuff him.
Why? All hell do is break out and start his crap again Goody boots. Im not putting up with his bull again.
Astro shook his head. You cant do it, you know you cant do it. What will Vivian think of you? I know hes a total creep, why go back to being like him?
Atlas closed his eyes, took a deep breath and allowed Astro to take Skunk from him but only after the red boy bot got in his face. The only reason youre lucky is because Astros annoying. Next time I got you alone?....Youre going to get used to eating with wooden teeth.
Atlas floated snarling mad as Astro gave Skunk an evil smile. Hmmmm whats your pleasure this time Skunk?!
Astro and Atlas flew off with the crook screaming torrents of swears as he was tossed back and forth through the air as an on-hand play toy for the laughing duo.
Kodaima Police Station
Next Morning
Captain Zenza stood both shocked and chuckling at the large ball of twine sitting outside the station door and the screaming coming from the entrapped figures wrapped inside and around it.
So whats this? Zenza asked Atlas.
Dont try to explain it. Goody boots has these crazy artistic cravings. Atlas smiled proudly. I did the knots. Its going to take you a while.
Astro walked up to Skunk and tweaked his nose. Maybe youll learn your lesson for once and stop giving me ideas?
Skunk snarled and made Astro sigh otherwise. I guess not. See you next time Skunk.
Kodaima Train Station
Sunday noon
Astro and Atlas stood outside the café near the ticket station out of earshot of Vivian. I kind of figured you werent going back with me. Astro said smiling.
Atlas gestured towards the café. I kinda like it here. Its a nice change, I .need a vacation.
Astro chuckled. I cant see you cutting a wedding cake, its too hilarious.
Atlas balanced on his toes. You never know.
They were silent for a moment before Atlass lips quivered and he just gave Astro a tight hug. Thanks for not giving up on me when I was such a creep. Im only doing this once you know .if you tell anyone I swear Ill boot your stupid head through a goal post.
Awwww .. Astro replied warmly. Youre such a jerk.
Dont you forget it. Atlas replied snarling before the boys broke out laughing. Astro got his ticket and waved as Atlas walked from the café with Vivian warmly resting an arm around him.
