Rico stood still. He gazed at the wrench placed before him. He hesitated. He gulped. His wires coiled around in a nervous state, and his oil flowed more like the sea. His first chance to fight… And it’s against his family.

“Take your time, honey.”, his mother kindly spoke.

Ricos sight keeps switching from sweet, old Setuh to the wrench, which it’s incredible shininess slowly tempts him to pick it up. Despite the wrench not being seen as a common weapon for the battleground, he knows that it can hit very hard. Gradually, the child crouched down and reaches for it, after making up his metal mind. Once his fingers touch the wrenches very skin, he could feel the worry and courage inside of him fighting together.

When he picked it up, he held onto it tightly, and then...

A large shadow appears behind him. He hears something swooping down to hit his back. Reacting in a hurry, he leaped to the right. He then sees Byrd with his serious, creepy smile, who was holding his guitar that chipped into the ground. His uncle tumbles back and puts it out, before sprinting towards him again. The kid didn't even have enough time to puff a word, as he was shocked by Byrd's agility to reach him. Byrd raised his axe and began slicing and chopping.

Not knowing what else to do, he hops out of the axe's way, and blocks some of its other attacks. He wasn't warned this would happen when he picked up the wrench. Now, to him, this is just only a matter of survival. The more the weapons clashed with each other, the faster Byrd's attacks became. He started to hit from all sides in order to get a touch on his nephew's steel skin.

Rico still holds onto his wrench tightly. As mentioned before, it’s his first time being put into a battle, which explains why his form in combat is slightly below average. He wouldn’t survive like this if he had to fight a foe much different to his mum and uncle.

The slashes against the robot continues until the two tools intertwined each other in a long clash. Byrd had the upper hand. He was several inches taller than - and far more stronger - than Rico. His axe was crushing down the small strength of the wrench and its owners grip. Eventually, Rico was forced to bend a little backwards.

Rico gulps again. Now, he’s desperate. He needs to get out of this situation! But how?!

He closes his eyes and thinks of how he’s going to escape. His body tries to hold itself from falling under the overwhelming strength of the blue man. His wrench struggles. His metal teeth grind themselves, and his mouth wobbles in little motion. His wiring twists even more. His components heat up. His wrists shake. His arms quiver. His feet quake.

His feet…

His… Feet…

“EUREKA! THAT’S IT!”, he thought.

A strange light appears beneath the sole of Ricos feet, as they shiver more.

Then...

KABOOM!

An explosion occurs, which its impact blinds and presses Byrd away.

There goes Rico! Finally flying! Finally having another smile on his face! Finally soaring in the sapphire sky with little to no control of steering at all!

“Wait a minute…”, Rico returned to thought, “I don’t know how to fly…”





“Oh bums...”

And at that precise moment, his rocket boots deactivate. Rico looks at the floor which was miles below him. Then, for the third time, he gulped, as a feeling of terror immediately took complete control over his joy. Slowly, he had begun falling. Frightened to look down even more, he tried to swim in the air, but to no avail. He wailed and cried, believing he’s going to explode once his head hits the floor if he doesn't do something.

He tried to reactivate his boots...

Nothing happened.

He tried reactivating them again...

A little shine of fire appeared on their soles.

"YES!", he shrieked.

But then, the fire disappeared, putting Rico in more trouble than he thought he was.

"OH COME ON!", he screamed for his life, "WORK!".

Nearly losing hope, he tries to think of something else, but then... A body swoops in and catches Rico in time. Rico now finds himself being carried by his mother.

"Gotcha!", Setuh said putting him on the ground.

"Oh... Thanks, mum-.", Rico was about to sigh in relief, until a certain fist punches his mother hard in the face.

Being launched a few yards away into the long grass, Setuh covers her face in pain. Byrd - the one who punched her - smiled, glad that he was able to get back at her sister.

"Oh, Byrd!", Setuh shouted, covering one of her eyes, "What was that for?!".

"ShUt uP AnD fOcUs On tHe SESsIon!", appallingly mocked Byrd, "That's what you said five minutes ago, didn'tcha, muppet?!".

Struggling not to talk back, Setuh looked down, closed her eyes, and tried to settle down. Ten seconds later, she looked back up and gave off a smug face. It was a fair game for their rivalry...

Byrd grimly smiled and shook his head. He knows that she’s nothing more or less than a bitch-smelling sister to him. Leaving that behind, he turned around to face…

Where’s Rico?

Scratching his head, Byrd wondered and asked,

“For gods sake… Where did that little runt run off to now-“.

DOING!

Byrd felt something tough kick upwards into his scrotum from behind. In agony, his eyes widened and forehead began sweating like a waterfall. Soon, he let out an ear piercing scream of pain. He steered right around to see who was responsible, and much to his surprise…

“RICO?!”, Byrd screamed in pain and shock again, holding his privates to comfort the damage they took.

Rico stumbled back, flabbergasted and sorry. His head shook even more than it did minutes ago. This wasn’t his tactic. He didn’t mean for this to happen.

“U-Uncle Byrd!”, he whimpered in fear, “I-IM SO SORRY!”.

Byrd groaned in anger, still holding onto his scrotum. He fell on the floor and writhed himself in pain.

“What the actual hell?!”, he furiously yowled.

“I-I didn’t mean for this to happen!”, Rico said trying to calm the situation down, “I was aiming for your bum!”.

“Yeah! The hell you were! You’re shit lucky I’m not feeling any bleeding comin out, or else you would’ve been toast you flippin’ bellend! Agh… shit!”.

The uncle struggled to get up on his feet. Him getting kicked in the balls was probably one of the most unexpected events to occur to him. How many times has he been kicked like this? 40? 50? Nevertheless, he knew this would happen, considering that he himself is associated sometimes with karma. Therefore, life can’t get any worse for him, can it?

“A-Are you okay?”, stuttered the robot, staring at Byrd’s sweating body that was attacked in the wrong area.

“Okay?! Do I look like I’m okay?!”, he shouted, sweating with eyebrows that are more furrowed.

His guitar axe materialised in his hand. The blue man’s grip grew firmer. His puffs sounded louder, and his teeth gnawed harder. His blue muscles tensed, and his eyes reddened. It was at this moment Rico realised…

He messed up. BIG TIME!

Byrd starts the second time off with a stomping run towards his pipsqueak of a nephew, raising his weapon high and mighty. Rico, now without his wrench, was about to beg for wanted mercy, until he remembered something… His laser fingers!

Even though this wasn’t his first time pulling out, he was clearly unsure whether it would or wouldn’t kill him. Taking the risk anyway, he pointed an index finger at Byrd, who was still catching up to him. A glowing sensation gradually appeared on its tip. Rico closed his eyes and gulped.

“I’m so so so so so so so sorry!”, he thought, scared for both of their lives.

And so, he shot the bright bullet out. The shot was aiming towards Byrd at Mach speed. Upon seeing this, the blue man thought fast and stretched his way to the left and avoided the shot. But that wasn’t it. There were more shots heading towards him.

“About time I put my real abilities to good, proper use then…”, he seriously thought.

Calming down and clearing his mind, he wobbles in a rather abnormal way, and tosses the guitar into the air. His skin and flesh alike shakes a lot in comparison to a jelly’s body. Then, as close as the shots went by, Byrd slipped past each of them in concentration. Of course, the dodges weren’t as perfect as he would’ve thought. His t-shirts short sleeves get a little ripped, and his jeans blacken from the lights heat. In the end, the axe falls down to his hands grasp.

He tosses the axe again, this time at the head of his nephew, before sprinting towards him. Rico dives down under Byrd’s legs, and jumps back up. The blue man turns around to give him a few blows to the stomach and chest, only to be blocked by his metal arms.

Byrd whacks his face with a rushed left hook. This would leave an impressive mark on Rico, whose material is usually unbeatable by living flesh. After adding a few more hooks to his face, the blue man's knuckles begin to bleed red a little. He didn't care. He's supposed to teach his nephew a lesson. That's all he wanted for this day.

He was about to land another fist to the face, until Rico catches that in time. He tried to pull away, but the kid's arm refused his escape.

POW!

After Rico let go of his arm, he copied the hook given to his face. The same velocity that had be thrown to his face, now mirrored to Byrd, only a lot stronger due to material. This stunned him and caused him to back up. His sight blurred for a moment, as Rico attempted to spam the hooks.

Four. Five. Six fistfuls to the face!

Bruises, a black right eye, and a splash of blood out of his mouth were attributed to ruin his 'handsome' face. Rico posed a second before thrusting a powerful, twisted punch to his uncle's pancreas. Luckily, Byrd snapped out of his dizziness, and smacked the punch away. He made an effort to uppercut Rico's chin, but missed as the child jumped back with his chin up.

Byrd quickly puts a hand out, signifying something to arrive. Rico then hears something frantically spinning its way behind him. He turns around, and is instantly met with a spinning guitar axe that was close to cutting off a large part of him. Then, in an instant, Byrd stepped in front, grabbed the handle of the axe, and sliced a scar into Rico's shirt. Surprised by such uncommon intelligence, Rico gasped and ran backwards. Both opponents sprung into the air, with Rico aiming two of his signature light shots towards Byrd.

Byrd returned the projectiles back to their sender when they were shot out. One bullet grazed off near the child's collar, while another ripped off a teeny tiny part of his trousers.

BOOM!

The bullets created explosions on the ground, which tossed the two of them further into the sky.

"Oi! Rico!", Byrd called from the airborne distance, "CATCH!".

For a second time, he ferociously threw his axe towards Rico, whose rocket boots just reactivated. He didn't notice the axe just yet.

"Finally!", Rico's faith in his boots have risen as he said with a big smile.

Now, it was only a matter of time before he noticed the incoming axe-

"Oh crap!", he howled surprisingly, watching the weapon that was close and about to slash him.

CLANK!

Oh... Never mind... He caught the axe by its edge.

"U-Uncle Byrd!", Rico yelled, dropping the weapon, "Wh-What the hell was that?!".

"Eh...", Byrd spoke to himself, "I knew you was gonna grab that... Welp! Down I go!".

And so, Byrd lost all rising motion, and started falling in the sky. Rico zoomed down to help him out, but he shook his head, refusing the help he was offered. It seemed that he knew that he was going to land in a safe place, and, of course, he was right. It was a handful of branches of a tree, that comforted his crash.

Meanwhile, Rico just awkwardly stood in the sky, processing what was going through his stupid uncle's mind. He gave a glance off into the distance. He mumbled out questions that are yet to be answered, and stuttered a little in a few of those.

"Oh, leave him be, will you?", a familiar smug feminine voice spoke behind him, "He doesn't have much of a brain left in him."

Rico turned around to see Setuh floating around.

"M-Mum?", he spoke, "But how are you-".

"Telekinetic powers, dear. I haven't actually fully mastered them just yet, 'cause it takes an AWFUL lot of years to do so. But... I'm getting there!"

"Oh. Okay. So... what now?".

"What now?", she said guffawing at his question.

She cocks out her umbrella shotgun, and aims it at her son.

"We have to fight, silly!", she said with a sweet smile on her face.

"Oh right! How could I forget-".

BANG!

A gang of bullets went above and across his face. Astonished by guns deadly sound, Rico's head shook up.

"And that... was a warning shot!", she happily exclaimed.

"Mum! How was that a warning shot-".

Rico was swiftly interrupted by Setuh cocking her gun up again. Scared of getting the bullet somewhere in his systems, he took a cue to blast off and shoot back with lasers. As expected, she dodged the lasers, with the shotgun in one of her hands. Sooner or later, a shadow of grim happiness had appeared on her face, meaning that she knows how to apprehend Rico down to the floor.

Rico continued to shoot down his mother, until she completely disappeared into thin air. Frightened of what her next move was going to be, he pointed in different directions, and hoped that she would come out of the blue somewhere. This didn't make sense to him. How could such a loving mother be so... so... daunting?

"Hey. I'm right above you.", his mother spoke in a calm, creepy tone, her hands rubbing Rico's hat.

Rico gasped and turned around to face her, but before he could do anything else, Setuh strongly slapped her hand onto his face, and shoved him down at a fast pace. He noticed something on her face. She looked... different. Really different. A blot of black had coloured the upper section of her face, and her eyes were glowing yellow, with a different set of pupils. Not only was she smiling, she was also drooling.

While he fell, he felt the air heating up his metal skin. Each of its layers burning crazily, as the robot's legs flailed in a long panic. His arms ended up grabbing his mother's arm that was pushing him down, trying to get it off of his face. He relentlessly screamed.

He wasn't the only one in pain however. Setuh too was feeling the burning air. The sharp corners of her head caught on fire. She closed her eyes, as tears went out of her eyes. Her teeth clenched to endure the pain. It was only until then did she stop pushing him down, when they were about ten yards above the grassy ground. She realised something.

This wasn't like her at all...

Rico was still fidgeting for Setuh to let go of him. A look of horror overshadowed Setuh as she quickly hugged Rico, as they floated down to the ground. The cursed blackness of her face slowly returned into nothing, and her eyes went back to normal, but her emotions didn't change. What was she thinking? She told him she won't go all out on him. She nearly killed her own son.

"Rico, I-I'm so... so... sorry...", Setuh mumbled, "I... I didn't even know what I was doing... Something-".

She looked at her son's face... He was out cold...

She heard footsteps running behind her.

"Oi! Sis!", Byrd called out to her, "What the hell was that?! You could've killed your son!"

She looked at the puzzled, hypocritic Byrd, who was struck in a state of shock, dismay, and rage. She didn't know what to say. She didn't know what to think. She hugged the unconscious Rico, frightened, not knowing what to do.

This session has ended.
