Darn Books

[Daniela Gamboa]

Daniela exited the library struggling to hold her unsteady pile of books. She'd recently been wanting to know the history of the town. Daniela checked out about 10 books over it. Except, with all of them different sizes and thicknesses, she was struggling to adjust them properly in her arms. Daniela shift the ones on top again as the started to slide, but then the ones on bottom became out of place. It was frustrating Daniela.

Daniela didn't drive many places. She preferred to walk, especially with her aparment so close. Daniela figured she could keep this up before she got home, but just as she got a block down the street, the books won. They toppled over and sprawled out on the concerte. Daniela sighed and bent down to begin picking them up.

"Darn books." Daniela muttered scouping the books up.

Syx was desperate. He needed that part. The only thing was, he didn't have $155 to pay to the criminal offering it to him. The black market was so expesive sometimes. Syx needed some money, fast. He only had a week to come up with the money or the saler was going to loose interest. Syx had half the mind just to steal it from them, but with the gang having guns and such, Syx had a second thought and decided against it. He'd just pay for it, this time. He was still about 14 and even though he was going to become the greatest villain in history soon, he was still young and didn't have a death wish. He didn't want to put his life at risk for something as small as that. No, he could find the money. Just had to steal from the right person....or right people.

Syx walked quietly down allyways. He avoided public eye. His latest invention flew with very little noise above him. Every once in a while, it would bowg softly as if just to remind Syx it was there. It was like a dog in so many ways. It even had soiled the floor with oil a few times. A programing Syx went to fixing immediately when he'd slipped and fell the morning after. He called it a brain bot. It did whatever he commanded.....most times....Syx was still working out the bugs.

The Brain Bot wasn't perfect. It was too much like a puppy and Minion and him had a hard time handling it sometimes, but he managed. He would prefect this one, and then make more. It would be somewhat like his evil hinchmen. Every villain needed those. Syx had Minion, but Minion was his minion, not his hinchman. Minion wasn't disposible. And he never would be. The brain bot however, could be fixed, and modified. It was disposible to a point.

Syx laid low in the ally watching the people pass by trying to decide a prefect victum to send his brain bot on. He didn't have to wait long. After a moment of looking, a lady suddenly dropped her book across the sideway muttering to herself as she begin to pick them up. Her purse was in a perfect angle for the brain bot to retrive. Syx smiled happily and whispered softly a command to his brain bot.

"Brain bot," He said. The Brain bot immediately responded with a low bowg and lowered it's self infront of it's master. "Retrive the purse." Syx said pointing to the woman's purse. The brain bot bowged again and then turn towards the woman.

Syx watched as the brain bot flew over to where the woman was crouching and extended it's arm to snatch the purse off her shoulder. Syx knew the women would no doubt feel this and he would have to run quickly to avoid being reported to the cops. Syx watched with axiously eyes as the bot's arm gripped the strap of the purse and pulled it from the women heading back to him. Syx was prepared to run.

((11/22/11 is when the robbery will be offical))

[Daniela Gamboa]

Daniela was almost done picking up all her books when the strangest thing happened. She felt a tug on her purse, looked up expecting some robber. She was freaked out as it was thinking of someone trying to rob her, but what she saw instead was a look creeper. The purse was pulled from Daniela and Daniela froze in shock at what she did see.

It was some robot, ovbiously. It had a few arms that had the claws simalar to the games in the arcade at the end of the arms. It was flying as well. It wasn't just walking up right, it was flying above her. The glass dome on top, which she supposed was the head, was filled with bolts of electricity bouncing back inside the dome. At the front of it's head was a huge lens like a camera for an eye.

Daniela flinched back thinking she was hullicnating. She closed her eyes and counted to three before look back. She didn't see the robot, thank God. She sighed with relieve and then look further down the alley and spotted not only the robot with her purse, but a blue alien on top of it. Daniela couldn't help it, she screamed. Who wouldn't in this situation?

Daniela scrambled to her feet seeing them take off. For a second she was compelled to take off in the opposite direction as them. Then, her curiousity got the best of her. She paused before taking off after the two weird ones. Was this really just her imagination? She left the books behind, completely forgotten.
