Astro Boy fan stories

[Ghost]

Well here's the rough draft of Chapter 4. It's not finished yet but this what I've typed up so far. Keep in mind this is a rough draft and not the final thing so the actual chapter may be different and I will post a link to the chapter when I'm done with it and it's on fanfiction.net

Chapter 4

When we got to the roof of the building it was nice outside. It was in the late afternoon and the sun was starting to set and wasn't too hot or cold.

It was weird now because this was the first time I truly felt like a robot. I never flew before but I knew how to do it because it was programmed in my electronic brain. It's a really hard thing to describe to a human. It's like just having the knowledge burned into your brain is the closest thing I could describe it.

I equipped my battle mask and I jumped before Dr. Elefun could say anything. Then the rockets in my feet transformed and the jets lit to life and before I knew it I was flying.

Scary as hell at first. I had so much speed and I almost crashed into some cars and buildings but I got used to the speed after a few seconds. Then I had control and it was unlike anything I've ever experienced. It was one of the only times in my life that I actually felt free; I felt actual freedom. I don't think I've ever felt anything that amazing in my entire life.

I went up higher than Elefun told me I should but at the time I didn't really care. I was already above the clouds and there was just me and this big sky; and I still kept going up. Before I knew it I was already in space within a matter of seconds. It was absolutely crazy this space that was even bigger than the sky bellow. But then I went down back into sky. Didn't know if it was a good idea to stay there or not so I went back down.

I don't know how long I was out in the sky but it must have been a long time. By the time I got back to the ministry I found Dr. Elefun wasn't on the roof. So I went back to his office and he was looking at his monitor.

“I told you not to fly that high.” Dr. Elefun said in an irritated tone.

“Sorry” was all I said “Well, at least now I know for sure that you can go into space just fine.” Elefun said smiling at me again. When I walked over and looked at the monitor the screen showed some coordinates and a screen that showed everything I was seeing. When I took the battle mask off the camera feed went dead.

“A little camera system built in into your armor to keep track of where you are, and to show me or whoever is watching what you're seeing.” Dr. Elefun said which made me a bit nervous.

“That's a little creepy” I commented. He could see anything I see? Come on that's stalker s**t.

“Astro you don't need to worry. It can only be accessed when you're in your armor and your battle mask is equipped.” He said reassuringly.

“Well I guess it's not that bad then but still-”

“Astro this can be useful when you're in tight situations. I can also use it to contact you. Trust me it's an advantage.” Dr. Elefun said cutting me off.

Then I remembered something that I completely forgot about, Cora. Before I went to confront my dad I told her I would come back to her. I wounder how she's doing now.

I ran to one of the windows and flew out. Now it was starting to get dark and I flew as fast as I could to Cora's place.

I took off the battle mask and flew to her window and saw her on her computer with some music blaring as usual. She was listening to some old death metal type group called “The Agonist” she actually liked some of the older death metal music from the first decade of the 21st century, unlike some people. Her parents obviously weren't there otherwise the music wouldn't be playing as loud as it was; or they'd be in her room yelling at her to turn it off or turn it down.

I tapped on her window. What was funny about this was that not only did the knock made her jump, but when she saw me she was even more shocked, and to top it off she saw that I was flying. I'm surprised she didn't have a heart attack.

She came to the window and let me in. When I got in she grabbed me nearly as tight the last time I saw her. Only the moment was a lot less depressing I guess.

“I can't believe this!” She said. “What the hell took you so long? Toby, what happened?” She asked me in an excited tone with tears forming in her eyes.

“Well Tenma tried to destroy me and I woke up today. That's the shortest explanation I can give you.” I said to her.

“I told you I'd come back.” I said smiling at her. I haven't smiled in a while because of all this s**t was going on, but it was good seeing her again.

“Look I'm glad you came back. But please just tell me everything that happened after you left.” She begged me before walking over turning off the music.

Well that's pretty much what I did explain, it took me while to get everything out. It was really hard on me for the past few months but what seemed like just a few days. I couldn't believe how my life could just change so fast and so drastically.

Like I said before I'm not usually the one who cries very often but at that moment I thought for a while on all this. Mom died, then I died and then Dad just rejected me. I felt so alone and I just wanted someone at that moment. I mean now I'm not the even the same person that I've been living for the past 15 years of my– Toby's life. My life is just a lie, it was just unreal on how bad and dramatically things change.

I mean how could my Dad just make a robot exactly like his son and just immediately reject him and throw him away like he was trash. His excuse was that I wasn't a “perfect copy” what the f**k was he talking about? I'm the exact same person. Was it how I reacted to him? No, no that can't be it how did he expect me to react? I died and I was cut off from society and he wouldn't tell me s**t. What did he expect?

All those thoughts just made me sad and angry at the same time. This was after I got done explaining this to Cora. I didn't even realize it but I was crying for once and I was so caught up and thinking about all this and it just came out and I couldn't control it anymore. I usually don't just break down and cry because; I don't know exactly, I guess it makes me look like a baby or a sign of weakness. I just try my best not to show it when I do.

But it was hard on Cora too. This time it was different because I was the one crying and she wasn't. It wasn't so bad because I didn't feel completely alone.

She put her hand on my face.

“Look, this has been hard for me too.” She said with sympathy.

“I just can't believe all of this is happening. I'm not the same person I've been for 15 years. I don't even know if anything about me is real anymore! I mean this has got to be Karma's way of answering my question of what Tenma would do if I died! I didn't deserve any of this!” I said forming a fist.

“Don't give me a speech.” She said putting her hand on mine.

“Look like that Elefun guy said. This a start of a new life, maybe this will be better. I'll know because I'll be there with you, always.” Cora said. This actually helped me. I didn't like her pity but it actually made me feel like I wasn't as alone I thought I was.

I already scanned my doujin. There are 19 pages (including the front cover.) Some of the writing is sloppy, so please ignore it.

^______^ Should I post it directly in this topic, another topic, or just put a link to it?

(Btw, its called Metal No Kokoro. XD )

I think Fan Stories is for written fanfiction and stuff, maybe you should try making a new thread?

It would probably be better for it anyway.

Might I suggest Smackjeeves? It's a free webcomic hosting website, but it is very excellent and one of the best around, and also very easy and practical.
