•Kid Shiki Memories•

                                                     •••

On a beautiful night three figures could be seeing staring at the stars while a object falls throughout space.

OH!. "That star is moving. Shiki said.       

You know what that is? It's a Dragon. The demon king said

Shiki was Surprise. A Dragon!!! Shiki repeated

I think it's a comet. Michael said. Shiki looked annoyed as he looks at his grandpa.

I fooled you, shiki!! GA HA HA HA . But, you won't know until you see it up close. The demon king pats Shiki head. There are loads of things you'll never know if you stay here all your life. You need to go to lots of Kingdoms, meet lots of peoples..... And make lots of friends. The demon king said. Friends? Shiki asked. The most important thing in the world, they'll support you through thick and thin, if you have a friend who will shed tears for you.....you'd better treasure that friend forever. The demon king said with a smile on his skull face.

You mean like Michael? Shiki asked, while pulling on Michael.

But... I can't shed tears, machines don't have hearts. Michael said.

No. That's something everyone has, everyone has a heart. The  demon king said.

(Back to sleeping Shiki)                                        

                                                        •••

Shiki was surprised when he wake.

"My hair!!!.. My hair is gone!!!.. Shiki run to the hall . Michael, It's awful!!! Hey! There's nobody here!!!. " what's all that noise out side? Shiki shouted.

***

•TOWN PLAZA•

Rebecca was shocked when she wake as well, she was tie to a pole in the town Plaza with happy.

Huh? What am I doing out here..? Rebecca asked, she try to move her body but failed.

"What the heck is this?!!! Rebecca shouted loud, when she realized she's was tie up, she turned to happy who was tie next to her on a pole.

Happy! Wake up!!! We're in trouble!. Rebecca shouted at sleeping happy.

The king with his knights and the town robots walked up to Rebecca.

I've waited a long time for this day...human. King's Castellan said.

Who are you?! What's going on?!! Untie me!!. Rebecca asked

Shiki was making his was along the gathering robots.

Hey, what's going on out here? Shiki asked. He finally reached where Rebecca is tie.

Shiki!!! Rebecca shouted, up on seeing him

Rebecca?!!! Shiki was shocked.. Sir Castellan. Shiki said still shock.

Did I do something?. Rebecca asked

Shiki kneel down on one knees before speaking.

That my friend!! She came from another kingdom! She's not a bad person. Shiki said

I know. We have waited one hundred years for this day, for someone with a ship that goes to the outside world. Castellan said

I don't know what you are talking about, but come on untie her!!. Shiki said

I will not. We will kill this human to attain the outside world. Castellan said

Excuse me, I am a guest!! Rebecca said

Castellan looked back at Rebecca. And that's my point...we bots are not tools to serve humankind. We are not inferior to you human. Castellan said

I didn't mean it like that. Rebecca said

Come on, everybody! Say something! Tell him off! Shiki said, to  the town robots.

But when the town robots started speaking.

"HUMANS ARE THE ENEMY"! " THEY LOOK DOWN ON US"! "THEY SEE US ONLY AS TOOL"! " THEY BREAK US WITHOUT A SECOND THOUGHT"! 

Shiki turned to look at the town bots, he started shaking, he was frightened. Mithra....John.... Annie. Shiki said, on realizing the bots. "I AM NOT A TOOL!. Michael. Shiki said he was taken aback..

Rebecca remembered what Shiki said. " The guys have been acting wonky  lately. Rebecca looked at the robots in front of her.

"It can't be, have they all been infected with a virus? Rebecca asked 

Yes. This virus has allowed us to think for ourselves, and we think that we are not tools for human convenience. Castellan said

Shiki hold Michael and started shaking him.  Snap out of it, Michael. Shiki shouted

You are.... Human are....my enemy.. Michael said

I'm not your enemy!! I'm your friend. Shiki started running. Hold on!! I'll fix you, all of you!! Let me get my belt. Shiki said

A robot Knight holds up a burning stick towards Rebecca with on fire on the top.

"Take one step and she goes up in flames!. The robot Knight said.

Stopping Shiki in his tracks.

Besides, you cannot fix us. You never had the ability to repair bots. Castellan said. 

" I've fixed all of you a million times!!! Shiki shouted

We were only playing the roles, we were assigned. This is a world of make believe. Waiter....Tailor....Knight...Dancer...Castellan.... Demon King... They are all roles , none of them are real. You play the role of the mechanic, you are not a "Real" one. The truth is , we have always been fixed by the grandbell castle's  auto repair system. Castellan said

Shiki was surprised by what king Castellan as said, but he did not believed him.

No!! "I'm gonna fix you!! I promise, I'll put you all back to normal!!! Shiki said

That is impossible. Castellan said

" We're friends, aren't we? Shiki asked

Castellan pulled off is robes revealing his full body. He resemble an elderly King. He has a thick mustache and beard, with gear like symbol around his eyes, he wears a  multi colored striped crow. His body was similar to a medieval Knight armor. Castellan throws his dark colored fur trimmed robes to the ground.

You are human, we are machine we cannot be friends. Castellan said

Shiki looked at Castellan..

"A battle bot?!! Rebecca asked
