Chapter 1 - Advertising a new threat
"New Mr. Roboto! Able to do just about any house hold chore you need done but don't want to!" chimed the commercial announcer on the T.V screen, the lights from it flickering on and off while Beastboy awaited his late night show to come back on. Strewn about the living room was various snack foods with their contents spewed out while Beast Boy himself was experiencing a caffine crash.
"Man, these commercials take forever," Beastboy mumbled rubbing his sleepily, forcing himself to stay awake alittle longer. Gradually his eye lids began to grow heavy and before he knew it he was out like a light. When he woke up by a corus of Mr. Roboto causing him to jump with a start and fall onto the floor which was covered with the various snack foods.
"Damn Beastboy look at this mess," he heard Cyborg say as an empty chip bag which had fallen onto his head was removed. "Had fun?" Cyborg smirked as the Mr. Roboto commercial played in the background... a different one but still the same, but how did it change so fast? Why did he care? "You're going to need one of those to help you clean all of this up," Cy added looking up at the T.V for a moment before turning it off with the remote.
"Holy cow..." Robin said walking into the room and finding the mess. "What did you do last night Beast Boy? Throw a party without us knowing?" Robin added as he stepped carefully through a mine field of potatoe chips.
"We have a cow? Oooooh, where is it!" Starfire squealed floating effortlessly behind Robin and safely over the mess. While Robin went through explaining to Starfire that it was an expression Beastboy finally got up and yawned before coming to a realization.
"Awww man... I missed the rest of the alien brain suckers from uranus," Beastboy sighed sadly. Cyborg laughed from the obvious joke and dissappeared into the kitchen, even Robin cracked a smile. "Whats so funny?" Beastboy said annoyed, but to sleepy to show it.
"They're just amused by a disgusting joke invented after the discovery of the planet..." Raven deadpanned floating by as if she had been there the entire time. She then paused and gave the room in it's current state a cold look before giving Beastboy the same curtesy. "You're cleaning this up..." she stated in a way it sounded more like an order.
"W-what? Me? By myself?" Beastboy stammered now awake.
"Yes. You. You made the mess, by yourself, so you get to clean it up. I do not want to read in a room which smells like the inside of a potatoe chip bag," she replied coldly as she joined Cyborg in the kitchen.
"She's right Beastboy... you made a pretty big mess. Only fair you clean it up," Robin said soon following her with Starfire.
"Awwww man... this'll take weeks to pick up!" Beastboy whined as he looked around at the room. "Clean this up later..." he said with another yawn as he went to take a shower. A while later and he returned hoping that the room was already clean, but sadly it was in the same state as it was when he left it... except Silky was now munching on some potatoe chips. That was new. "Aww come on guys," he whined some more as he plopped onto the couch pouting. Grabbing the remote Beastboy turned on the T.V in time to see another Mr. Roboto commercial... again. "Man, how many times do they show this a day?" he thought out loud thinking of changing it, but was to lazy to do it right now.
Apparently it was longer then before again... or he wasn't awake enough to have paid any attention to it earlier. They used the song with the demonstration of how the Mr. Roboto worked very well, almost made Beastboy want to buy one. "For a limited time offer, anyone can order a free trial of the Mr. Roboto for two weeks. Rush delivery available!" a man in a grey suit said putting on the cheesiest grin he could muster. Then a number appeared to reach them and Beastboy immediatly dove into the mess looking for the phone.
"Awww man... wait... when did we have a phone?" he said coming to a realization as he went to the titans computer. A few clicks later and Beastboy orders the free trial; thirty minutes later and it soon arrives in a large box. "Oh cool. It's already assembled and everything," Beastboy said suprised as he signs his name for it..
"Yup. Kisaragi Corp thought it would be more convient that way. You know how much of a pain in the ass it is to assemble one of these things?" the delivery guy chuckled walking back toward the ferry.
"I can only imagine..." Beastboy thought enthustiatically as he pried open the box right then and there. Standing in a foam case specifically made for it shape was a six foot or so gleaming, silver figure which had a cheerful oriental face which was grinning, showing what looked like teeth. Apart from the silver color, the eyes, and the mouth which didn't look like it could move at all- it looked human. "Hmmm, now how do I get this thing to work?" he wondered looking for an instruction manual or an on switch.
"Konnichi wa potential Mr. Roboto buyer!" the metal man then said in an equally cheerful voice making Beastboy jump with a start before it's eyes lit up a blue color. "I am mister roboto and I am ready to work for yu, the potential buyer," he added takeing a step out of the box and bowing politely. "How may I be of service?" it finished standing at attention.
"Wow, way past cool. Follow me metal dude," Beastboy said leading the way back inside.
"As yu wish. I exist to serve," the Mr. Roboto chimed as it followed him.
"This is awsome!" Beastboy thought grinning from ear to ear. A moment later and the pair arrives in ground zero... also known as the living room. "Alright metal dude, I want you to clean up all of this mess," Beastboy said waving around at the room in general.
"I will get right on that. In the mean time would you like to watch T.V? I believe that X-play is currently on," the Mr. Roboto replied surveying the mess as his hands turned into a pair of scoopers.
"Oh thats right! Thanks dude," Beastboy squealed as he jumped onto the couch and turned the T.V back on while the Mr. Roboto continued scooping up piles of trash into his scooper hands. A couple hours later and the mess was all cleaned up. Now Beastboy was just using the Roboto as a butler, getting him to do his laundry, get him something to eat- whatever he could think of until he ran out of ideas. That was when everyone else walked in. "Hey guys, look what I got for us," Beastboy said gesturing to the Roboto.
"Konnichi wa! I'am Mr. Roboto. The fully automated servant to help you with your problems so that yu may relax and enjoy your free time," the Roboto said bowing to the suprised group.
"Dude, how much this cost us? I didn't mean you literally should have got one to help you," Cy said the first one to speak up.
"Relax Cy it's a free trial. We get him for free for a couple of weeks and he gets to help us with the chores," Beastboy smirked. "He's pretty damn good at it too. Did my and all of you guys' chores as well as clean the living room," Beastboy added.
"Really? Wow... so two weeks you say?" Cyborg said beaming.
"Where exactly did this... thing... come from?" Raven said giving it a skeptical look.
"Errr, the delivery guy said something about a Kisaragi Corp... I dunno," Beastboy replied shrugging.
"Indeed. I was built, programmed, and tested within the sophisticated labs of the Kisaragi Corporation to help out with mundane chores, or any other task which needs to be done at your convience," the Roboto chimed in standing at attention waiting to be told what to do. Raven gave it a sort of snort of contempt.
"It stays out of my room. Living or not..." Raven stated.
"Well what if you need help moving funiture in your room?" Beastboy said baiting her.
"Incase you forgot I can move things around with my mind. I can do it myself and don't need some lifeless machine to do it for me," she replied sternly.
"If I may, I exist to make your lives easier. Before you even get up I can have a hot bath, clothes set out, and a breakfast already set for yu to enjoy. I would have already cut the needed time to do all of those things down in half and yu can get to doing things yu like" it added making Raven arch an eyebrow.
"OOoooh, it is so pleasant!" Starfire squealed grabbing it in what would be if it was anyone else a bone crushing hug, but the Roboto seemed to take the hug well as Starfire went on saying, "We must keep him!"
"I dunno Star. It seems handy to have around the house, but do you know how much this would cost at all Beastboy?" Robin said glancing at him.
"Beats me. Hey metal dude, how much you selling for?" Beastboy asked.
"While I am a free trial I would say I am free. However, normal Mr. Robotos sell roughly three hundred to five hundred dollars a unit," the Roboto promptly replied.
"Well, thats not... to bad," Robin said frowning slightly.
"In all fairness the guy did get the living room clean. Place would probably still be a mess if Beastboy cleaned it up," Cy teased as he looked around the spotless room.
"Good point. So I guess he will pay for himself in the end," Robin nodded and they kept him. For the next two weeks the Roboto true to his word, dilligently did their chores and helped them out with other tasks. He helped Cyborg tune up the T-car, although he tried to sucker Cyborg into buying new upgrades from Kisaragi Corp... which he succeeded, he helped Starfire carry mountains of bags from the mall while she was free to float around and look about, played a game of chess with Raven and won, cleaned up Beastboy's room, and finally was helping Robin train. "Wow, two weeks have flown by with you helping out," Robin said throwing a front kick into one of the cushioned pads the Roboto had over his hands.
"Domo arigato. It is my purpose to make the lives of mankind easier and more pleasant," the Roboto replied barely budging from Robin's blows. "Good kick," it added cheerfully as Robin hit one of the pads with another kick. "Might I suggest trying to hit this one?" the Roboto suggested raising one of the cushions up over it's head.
"Heh, good thinking," Robin grinned shooting his leg up and just barely managing to hit it. "Ugh, that hurt alittle," Robin grunted as he tried it again with alittle more success. Afterward he panted alittle from the workout and started to wipe of sweat with a towel.
"Yu are doing splendidly. With more practice this will be easy for yu," the Roboto chimed in standing at attention.
"That'll be all for today. Go get me a water, I'll be in the living room," Robin said popping his neck.
"As you wish," the Roboto replied before turning around on his heel and walking out. Robin suited back up and soon followed, walking into the living room where the Roboto was promptly waiting with the water and everyone else was watching T.V. "Here is your water bottle," the Roboto said handing it to him.
"Thanks, whats on guys?" Robin said taking a seat next to Starfire.
"Some action flick," Raven dully noted from the sidelines, nose in one of her books. Robin was about to ask for alittle more details when suddenly the alarm went off. "Was beginning to wonder when that was going to happen," Raven deadpanned as Robin leaped off the couch and went to the tower computer to see what the problem was.
Moments later and it appeared on the T.V, a red dot on a grid map of the entire city. Somewhere in the residental district with some of the big name corporations like WAYNE tech. "A robbery in progress. Lets go," Robin said as the others got up and followed him toward the door until they all stopped infront of the Roboto which stood in their way on purpose, but there was something different about it. It wasn't as cheerful was it was a moment ago, something about it's posture made it look more menacing looking despite the smile that was permenantly apart of it's facial features.
"The police are already on scene. There is no reason why yu must trouble yourselves. Please, stay here where your lives are not at risk," the Roboto said it's eyes dulled black while it stared at them blankly.
"Sorry metal man it's our job. We gotta go," Cy said trying to walk passed the Roboto, but within a heartbeat the Roboto grabbed Cyborg by the arm and spun around taking Cy with him and launching him passed the others toward the couch. "AHHHHH! Ooof!" Cyborg yelled before crashing into the couch making it topple with him. Everyone was stunned by this, throwing horrifed stares of shock at the Roboto.
"I am sorry. For your own safety, I must insist," the Roboto said darkly, it's eyes turning a red color. "Yu must stay, indoors," it added still as polite as ever...
