Justice Hero Scootaloo

Scootaloo felt her blood run cold again. If this was Veronica's mother, and the body has been here for a few weeks, then that could only mean one thing: The one Veronica took out on the Cyborg Hives' was never her mother to begin with; it was an imposter.

"...I've got a bad feeling about this." Rob said.

"This can't be real...I just saw my mother this morning. But the decay...this body's been here a week." Veronica said.

"It means that who you just saw this morning was an imposter. Am I right, Rob?" Scootaloo asked.

"Your on the right track Scootaloo. But I have a feeling there's more here then a simple imposter plot." Rob said. "That over there, that looks like a machine factory."

"So close to our hive? I don't understand." Veronica said.

"We should check it out." Rob said.

Scootaloo followed close behind.

The group heard voices from inside. "C'mon you lousy humans; if I want my plans to succeed, then I need a lot more cybernetics then this." A femine voice said.

"That...that sounds like mom." Veronica said.

"More like her replacement." Rob said.

"But there's no mistaking her voice for me. I've heard it since I was but a little grub." Veornica said.

"Yet, we just saw her dead body." Scootaloo said.

"Exactly Scootaloo." Rob said. "Glad somebody's paying attention."

"Wait, your saying something strange is going on?" Veronica asked.

"Your about to see exactly what." Rob said.

There were two humans inside, working a large conveyor belt. However, there was also what looked to be Veronica's mother. "Th-that's impossible." Scootaloo said.

"Exactly." Rob said. He suddenly launched a light spell into the building, which landed right at the copy's feet, before it suddenly blew up, creating a colom of light. This allowed the trio to enter the factory while the humans were gobsmacked.

"Di-did you do that?" One of the humans asked.

"We got to get out of here. That thing has been working us non-stop. Do us a solid, and stop it." The other human said before grabbing the other human and fleeing.

"What? Why did that human call--" Veronica said.

"Uh...Veronica? Look." Scootaloo said.

When Veronica did, she noticed the 'copy' was in fact a disguised android.

"This doesn't make any sense..." The Android said. "How did you; a mere human; manage to figure it out?" The android asked.

"You didn't cover your tracks very well. First off, the HIve's Queen's body was right outside their building, which pointed to the fact that there was a factory hidden behind their hive. What's more, based on the decay, that body is a few weeks old. When I overheard you saying something about Cybernetic parts, that's when I realized you were never a real flesh and blood living being. Because the biggest clue you left behind, the one that you really should've hidden, was that the body of Veronica's mother had clear signs of being machine made." Rob said.

Wait Rob noticed that of all things? Wait, why am I asking that question? It's the legendary Justice Hero I'm talking about here; of course he noticed something like that." Scootaloo thought to herself.

"Your very clever. For a human that is. And observant too. I have to applaud you for being able to figure it out." The android said. "Of course, that means I'm now going to have to kill you all." The android said.

Rob and the android fought for a while, while Scootaloo and Veornica tried to deactivate the factory. "Gah, this is so complicated." Scootaloo said.

"I know right! We're getting no where fast." Veronica said. Suddenly, the fight shifted towards the machines, which Rob slashed up.

"Ha! You missed!" The Android said.

"Did I?" Rob asked. "Who said I was aiming for you specifically there?"

"...You didn't..." The android said before the machines started to explode.

"I did. How do you like them apples?" Rob asked before he fired a spell that caused parts of the roof to cave in on the android. "We gotta get out of here." Rob said.

The trio fled the factory, and soon it blew up, causing the parts of the android to land nearby. The two humans from before soon approuched them.

"We...we were only trying to create an android with the ability to think for itself. But..." One of the humans said. "...But our superiors couldn't control it. It went rogue, and started to believe that anything that wasn't a machine was imperfect." He added.

"All we ever wanted was to make this world bettter. Make technology and nature co-exist in a perfect balalnce. But some others don't think the same way. They believe technology will lead this world to ruin." The other human said.

Well they're not wrong... Scootaloo thought to herself..

"After this, that side is going to call for a total recall on all technology. I expect us humans to get into a big war with one another over technology." The first human said.

"Spread this message please: Tell all the animals to stay out of this war." The second human said. The two humans then left.

"...Guess not all humans are evil." Veronica said.

"When you look deeper, you may find something surprising. This was something I didn't expect." Rob said. "History is written by the winners, but in this case, it'd be better if this was not covered up."

"Agreed." Scootaloo said. The time portal appeared before the duo. "...Looks like it's time for us to go." Scootaloo said.

"Hey, one of these days, I'm going to come visit you personally. I promise." Veronica said.

"I'll hold you to that." Rob said as he and Scootaloo entered the time portal.
