Things always work out (Morby fan-fic) Chapter 2

Chapter 2: The attack of the robots

As the two left the porch to go investigate the noise there was another explosion not to far away from them. The raccoon and blue jay looked between each other and then towards the noise, smoke was rolling in the sky. Rigby looked up at Mordecai and sighed. “Dude , can we please just go back to the house?” He asked seemingly nervous about the situation the two were getting into.

“Oh stop being a wimp Rigby, let’s just check this out, unless you did it and want to tell me.” Rigby rolled his eyes and Mordecai kept picking at him, he hadn't done anything.

“Ugh, Dude I’m not lying it wasn't me this time jeez, can't you lay off.” He said this slightly annoyed as he got on all fours and started to speed up his pace. He heard another loud boom that wasn't that far away. He ran to a bush and then jumped inside pushing it open a little to peek out; he couldn't see anything from where he was. That was until he saw Benson running from something. Lasers, lasers? Who has lasers? He then looked to what was shooting after Benson, it was two robotic replicas of Mordecai and Rigby. ".. Oh man we are so going to be fired for this." He said face palming as he watched Benson and the robots leave his eyesight, he just hoped Mordecai didn't see what was going on.

“So what did you see?” Mordecai asked after hearing the sound of something whizzing past the bushes. He knew it was going to be something Rigby had done, something stupid most likely. Rigby turned back towards the blue jay and watched him standing there all angry like. He sighed and rubbed the back of his head.

“So,.. It kind of is my fault, I maybe ordered  robotic copies of us to do our chores so we could just chill.. and maybe they are blowing up the park..” He said trailing off before he was punched in the shoulder. He rubbed his arm and looked at Mordecai a little angry.

“Dude ! You idiot, Bensons going to bust his crank after all of this is over.” Mordecai’s voice was filled with annoyance; the little turd always got them into trouble one way or another. He was about to yell at Rigby again as he heard a whizzing go past them and felt a feather fall into his hand.

“M-Mordecai!!!” Rigby yelled out concerned before turning towards where the laser had come from, standing not far away from the two was the robotic versions of them. The zapping sound shot out once again as a bolt of electric formed from one of the guns the robots possessed. “Run dude run!”

Mordecai turned and jumped as the laser exploded the ground where he had just been standing. He ordered robots with guns to do our chores.., ugh the fool! He felt a furred hand wrap around his wrist and pull him up, well sort of. As he got back to his feet his eyes landed on the two robots heading their way. He felt Rigby place his paws on his legs and looked down. “What are you doing Rigby?” He asked before he felt pushed.

“Mordecai get out of here, find the box.. Someone must of opened the box I had a kill phrase put in.. But I forgot it.. its probably in the box. Go I’ll distract them.” Before Mordecai could even react Rigby pushed off of him and ran directly at the two robots lasers flying past him. Mordecai watched in fear as Rigby jumped left and right dodging the lasers the ground blowing up behind him. Rigby, don’t you dare get hurt.  He thought to himself as Rigby passed the two robots they both chased after him. Mordecai gritted his teeth, he couldn’t leave his best friend to die, but he needed to figure something out. He clenched his fists “I’ll fix this Rigby.” He said this before turning and running away from the robots and Rigby. It felt as he was running in slow motion his heart skipping beats as worry washed over him, he had to find the box. He started to run, he didn’t know to where he just had to find that box.

“Mordecai!” Mordecai snapped out of his thoughts looking up to see Skips standing not far away from him, he hadn’t realized he had ran straight for the yeti’s house. He stopped running and it felt as everything blew past him, everything settling on him, his heart started beating faster and he ran out of breath. Skips skipped over to his side and helped him stand.

“Sk…Skips, do you know about the boxes for those robots?” Skips looked away a little embarrassed he had never been one to make a mistake but this was definitely one.  Mordecai glared up towards Skips his adrenaline taking over as he grabbed the yeti’s arms and yelled in his face. “You tell me where those boxes are ! Rigby’s life is in danger! Tell me right now!” He said panting hot breathe into the yeti’s face. Skips pushed Mordecai off of him and then pointed over towards the boxes.

“I’m sorry Mordecai, they were labeled for Benson I just opened the box. I don’t even know how the things started.”

Mordecai pushed past the yeti and walked over towards the boxes shifting through the papers and documents that had to relate to the robots. Diagrams of how they were built, directions on how to repair them, but nothing about any safe code. He smashed his hands down on the cardboard and started tearing through the papers. Rigby! Where the heck is the shut down code?!  He closed his eyes and took in a deep breathe, he had to calm himself down. As he re-opened his eyes, the paper with the de-activation phrase was in his hands. He grinned and then read what the paper said. “Hamboning.” Mordecai shook his head. Really Rigby? Hah, hamboning.  He took the paper and then turned back towards Skips.

“Hamboning? So I take it that’s some kind of shut down phrase?” Mordecai nodded and glanced over towards movement in the bushes. Muscle man and high five ghost ran through the bushes before placing their eyes on Mordecai.

“OH NO BRO IT’S THE ROBOT!” Muscle man stopped and took a second before he realized it was just Mordecai. He exhaled and rubbed his brow. “Phew.” He said before looking up towards Mordecai who was starting to walk towards them. “You know who else thinks you’re a robot? My MOM!” He high-fived  HFG before a laser shot passed the two and into a tree. Muscle man and HFG dived into the bush they had just ran through.

Mordecai glared at the Rigby robot, a mockery of what his best friend looked like. He took in a deep breathe before screaming hamboning. The robot’s eyes flashed red before it collapsed onto the ground into a pile of parts. W-Wait that’s only one robot.. where’s the other? Where’s Rigby?

Rigby landed onto the ground and rolled as the bench behind him exploded into splinters. He was on his back and sweating trying to crawl away from the robot. It smiled at him staring through Rigby as though the Raccoon wasn’t there. Rigby gulped before hearing something echo through the tree’s it sounded like Hamboning. His eyes lit up and he got a evil grin. “Hamboning” A wicked smile plastered his lips as the robots eyes turned red and it collapsed. He took a deep breathe; to be honest he would probably be dead if it weren’t for Muscle man.

As he was running away from the robots he ran across Muscle man and HFG who had planned a offensive against the robots, water balloons, the two threw the balloons over Rigby’s head and at the robots, tripping them up and making them fall, though they didn’t stay down forever like the two had planned. Just as HFG and Muscle man high-fived more lasers shot past the group of three, they all scrambled and went separate ways, the robot fashioned after Rigby followed Muscle man and HFG while the other followed Rigby.

Rigby stood up and took in a hard breathe, coughing and looking around. Where did that echo stem from? He turned and ran from what he could pin-point as where the sound originated from. The Raccoon didn’t take long before he reached where the sound had come from, he looked about and saw no one there. Rigby’s eyes had started to tear up, did he just get his best friend killed?

“Hey Rigby, glad to see your alright.” Mordecai said slowly walking up behind Rigby.

Rigby turned towards the blue jay his eyes widening and a smile plastering his face. “Mordecai you’re alright!!” He rushed over to the blue jays leg and hugged it tight against his chest. An overwhelming sense of joy took him over he was extremely happy that Mordecai was alright and not hurt. “Mordecai I was so worried I couldn’t live without you dude!” He held even tighter onto his leg his tears covering Mordecai’s leg, as he cried. What would I have done if he had died, I couldn’t live my life without that big jerk.  He laughed some through his tears as he continued to cling to Mordecai’s leg. “I’m so sorry dude!” He spoke softly against Mordecai’s leg he didn’t know if his best friend could forgive him for putting him in such danger, yeah he did it a lot but Mordecai could of really died this time he was sure of it. It was either that or .. Rigby just realized how horrible his life would be without Mordecai, his bro, his best friend, his crush.

Mordecai looked down at the tearful Raccoon and sighed he couldn’t be mad, Rigby had risked his life to try and give Mordecai the safer route of fixing his issue. He bent down to Rigby’s level and rubbed the top of his head. “Dude, don’t worry, but I’m sure Benson would like us to clean up this mess. So stop being a baby.” He said softly punching Rigby in the arm, this caused the raccoon to laugh. God, I want to be mad at him, but.. I just can’t he is so upset..  he watched as Rigby wiped his tears away from his eyes and smiled up at Mordecai.

“I’m sorry dude, I was just worried.” He said looking away embarrassed by the way he was acting. He knew why he was acting this way, but didn’t want Mordecai to catch on. He looked around and looked over at Skip’s place, he probably had some shovels and rakes to clean up the mess. “Can you do me a solid and grab the shovels and things.” He sniffled and looked up towards Mordecai with the biggest and cutest eyes he could muster.

Mordecai smiled and stood back up. “Dude I’ll get them no need to make this a solid.” He said this before walking past Rigby, he felt oddly upset by the fact Rigby was so worried about him. What’s gotten into him? He’s acting strange.  He shook it off and continued towards skips garage. He grabbed the shovels and wheelbarrow and started back over towards Rigby. The Raccoon meet him half way and grabbed one of the shovels they walked over towards the first robot. “Hey you take care of this one I’ll get a trashcan and take care of the other.” He said smiling down at Rigby, if they worked like this they could get done a lot quicker.

Rigby looked back up towards the blue jay and shook his head. “Dude I caused this, don’t worry I’ll take care of it you go inside and relax.” Rigby felt bad that Mordecai always had to clean up after his messes. Why can’t once he make the mistake.. so I can come in and be the hero, Heh saving the damsel in distress.  Rigby smiled to himself looking up at Mordo.

Mordecai placed his hands on his hips and smiled. “Dude if we do this together we can finish it a lot quicker, and get to chilling!” He exaggerated the last part and chuckled.

Rigby blushed and rubbed the back of his head Mordecai was definitely a life saver, he was so lucky to know the blue jay. “Dude you’re the best guy in the whole world.” He looked down at the robot in front of them before shoveling some into the wheelbarrow. .. He is such a awesome friend.. why do I have to feel this way and most likely ruin our friendship?  He looked up towards Mordecai and stared at him, the wind blowing past them making his fur sway and Mordecai’s feathers wave, it felt like something out of a romance movie.

A Few Hours Later

Rigby finished shoveling the last bits of the robot into the wheelbarrow and wiped sweat off of his brow. Mordecai had left him not to long ago to find the other Robot and take care of that robot leaving Rigby to finish up the rest of the smaller mess. As he placed his shovel into the wheelbarrow he started to think about him and Mordecai. C-can we even be a couple? I’m sure he is straight.. he is always after Margaret.. ugh I fricken hate her.  He kicked a rock and then grabbed the handles on the wheelbarrow. He made his way to where the other robot had been. As he reached Mordecai he saw that the blue-jay had pretty much taken care of the entire robot by himself.

“Hey dude, want to help me take care of the last bits?” He asked pointing to the last pieces of the robot lying on the ground. His eyes trailed over the sweat covered Raccoon, he laughed to himself. He looks hot all worked up and sweaty.  His eyes widened and he looked away blushing a little. He couldn’t be thinking these things he was straight he wanted Margaret. He rubbed his brow he might have just been thinking this because of heat exhaustion or something. He watched as Rigby shoveled the last bit of the robot into the trashcan Mordecai had brought with him.

“Shovel some cheese curls into my trash hole.” Rigby laughed remembering when he was a formless body in a trash can. He then cringed remembering the pain of being ran over by the cart, that, that was no fun at all. His eyes traveled up to Mordecai’s, he noticed the blue jay had been staring at him this entire time. He looked away and blushed, why was Mordecai looking at him? “So, Mordecai lets go drop this off at the garbage bin maybe Benson won’t even tell us to do anything.” He said hopeful, it would be cool just to hang out with Mordecai for a day and just chill without something else ruining the day for him.

Mordecai grabbed the trash can and placed it in the wheelbarrow. “You carry the tools Rigby. I’ll push the robots.” He said calmly trying to get his mind off of the fact he had just thought Rigby was hot.  I need to get my mind off of Rigby.. I know… Margaret.  He thought as he started pushing the wheelbarrow onto the path and headed in the direction of the snack shack. “So yeah if he doesn’t catch us before we finish this you want to hang out with the girls?” He knew that he wouldn’t give Rigby a choice in the matter, he usually never did, and now with these thoughts he had to put something between them.

“Ugh dude.. do we have to?” Rigby complained before looking at Mordecai’s expression, it was obvious, he had to. He sighed and looked forward his eyes catching the glimpse of the snack shack and the garbage bin. They weren’t too much farther off. As the two continued walking they went silent, not having too much to say both in their own thoughts.

Once they reached the garbage bin Mordecai dropped the robots into it well dumped their bits and pieces into it and leaned against the bin. “Dude let’s just leave the tools here and head back to the house.”

Rigby smiled and nodded. “Sure dude let’s go.” He knew things were going to get bad here soon and was just ready to expect the full front force of it. How was he going to make Mordecai love him, if the blue jay was angry with him?

The two headed towards the house it didn’t take them too long before they got to the porch. They headed up the stairs and opened the door feeling the cooler air of the house hit them. They took a few minutes to catch their breathe before they started up the stairs passing pops who was in a good mood as usual, he must have not noticed the huge robot laser fight outside. Mordecai reached the door to their room and turned the door knob pushing it open with a small creak. “Alright let me grab my cell and call up Margaret and have them head over here.” He wandered over to his bed and reached underneath the bed to where he normally placed his cell phone. “Dude, where’s my phone?” He asked looking over towards Rigby.

The Raccoon gulped, things were about to get troublesome.
