Hmm, maybe with this we will dinally be able to leave this place after 7 long years, well… if Roby is able to get it right this time.

I threw the Satellite dish over my shoulders and placed it in the Wagon right next to Roby. Roby immediately popped up and began scanning the Satellite with his processing eye’s or what ever those are. I don’t know, I don’t know much about Robotics even after living with one for about 5 years now.

I let a small laugh, and then began pulling the Wagon through the trail that leads to our home. I looked up at the black Ceiling that traps us in the dump for as long as I could remember and continued walking the path that I had over a million times before.

I looked back at my brother Roby who was a robot, and smiled at him as he continued scanning the Sattelite dish. Roby is the only other person down here with me, and he’s a massive help when it comes to engineering and Mechanics due to his design.

Roby doesn't really talk unless it's words that he was already programmed to say, but he can respond with simply head nods or lifting his little arms up and down, which usually is enough to get a conversation going. Roby is about 3 feet tall due to him not having legs but 4 wheels. He's fast due to his wheels but not very strong due to his build and mechanical parts. He is also programed with vast knowledge of repairing, along with engineering basic and advanced mechanical components due to him scanning a lot of the broken property in this trash hole.

But the problem with Roby and probably the very reason he was thrown away is the fact that he has a 10% fixing rate. Which means there's a 10% chance that Roby would fix a machine correctly, and it doesn't matter what the machine is either. It could be something as simple as a popped-off wheel on a toy car, and he could still mess it up completely. This is the 4th satellite dish we had to go get because the last one somehow disintegrated, like it actually disintegrated into ash, we don't even have anything here that can even get that hot. One time he messed up fixing a satellite dish so badly that he somehow turned it into a toaster, the best accident that happened last year. Hopefully, this last satellite dish will be a success so we can send out an SOS to the outside world.

And even if it doesn't work this time... we do got plenty of time.

I continued to walk down the trash path to my home and came across the usual trash water pond for the millionth time, but this time I walked over to it and looked at my reflection on the surface.

I hate how I look, so so much.

I looked at my reflection and saw the skull of some type of deer like wolf with lights in both sockets, one eye color being red and the other being green. I'm not even sure that this is my real eye color.

I'm cursed to wear Helmet, the Helmet makes me look like something you would see in a horror movie, and it only gets worse when I transform.

Hopefully that will never happen.

I run my brown hands through the sludge pond and ran a hand over my antlers on the top of my head. Should I get these cut…. can I cut them, or will they just grow back? I gazed at the reflection for a while, and then I put my hands into my hoodies pocket and grabbed the buggy and continued to walk down the dreadful path.

After a couple of minutes walking, I finally made it to my home which was just a shack I made from wooden planks and tin sheets that had fallen into the trash hole. I rolled the cart around back and made our way to Roby's workshop which is where we kept all the tools and equipment needed to repair and build things.

 Roby does most of the actual repair work, I just hand him things and do all the heavy lifting while he works.

I took the cart underneath the shack, and took both the satellite dish and Roby out of the cart. Roby was done scanning the dish and began to run over to the toolbox we collected a while back and started getting everything set up to get to work.

I placed the satellite in the middle of the floor once Roby came back with some very specific tools and a battery pack. After we had gotten all the equipment we needed for this project, we then began to start working.

4 HOURS

"Please tell me we're done, you managed to drill my fingers 3 times during all this," I gritted at Roby who began to scan his work with the red beam. After Roby got done scanning, he proceeded to do a little hop.

"Current task completed; item fully repaired," Roby said while lifting his hands in the air to celebrate. I put on an exciting look for Roby, but I wasn't hopeful, mostly because he says that same thing even when most of his projects fail. I grabbed the SOS beacon and carefully carried it outside in front of my shack, while Roby was followed right behind me.

I placed it down and began giving it some more glancing to make sure everything was in order.

Roby then came up to the SOS beacon and began pressing buttons on it’s panel and after a full minute of Roby tinkering with the controls the SOS Beacon finally started to power on.

 I quickly grabbed Roby and ran to cover, just in case this one decides to blow up like the microwave we tried to fix last week.

 The Beacon immediately started doing unusually stuff. The sound of it turning on was like that of a plane engine starting up and just proceeded to get louder and louder after each second.

The beacon began to have electrical sparks appearing all around it like someone took a powerful taser and just started shocking it. The Machine continued doing these things and proceeded to get more chaotic every second that passes. It managed to get so bad that the machine started break dancing…. or should we call that the electric boogie?

Me and Roby ducked under cover while covering our ears, but alas, nothing happened.

I slowly looked over from the broken fridge that we were taking cover behind to check on the condition of the Beacon, which somehow gave me relief and stress somehow at the same time.

 The Beacon was fully stable, and its engine calmed down, but the problem is the electricity was still visible on the machine, but the difference is that it was forming up on the rod part of the satellite dish part of the beacon. I was going to consider the beacon broken until I looked at it closer and could see the literal Electrical signal that it's sending out. The signal took the form of an electrical wave, which cannot be normal by any means, but at least it worked.

"It works....... IT WORKS!!!" I screamed in joy as I picked up Roby and spun him around a few times.

"Data complete on equipment, Beacon has an effective battery charge that will last 1 month and is sending an SOS to all residents that are able to pick up the signal. Analyses complete." Roby celebrated while lifting his little hands in the air while I am spinning him around. After a minute of celebrating, I put him down and gave him a hug while trying to keep myself from crying tears of joy.

We can finally get out of here. I knew that trashed ship's broken beacon would come in handy someday.

After a minute of celebrating, we finally calmed down and made our way to our shack to go to bed after a long day of fixing and repair. Funny, I was somehow tired but excited at the same time. The inside of my shack isn't really anything special, it only has about 3 small rooms. One is the bathroom, and the other one is me and Roby's bedroom, where we catch some sleep during the day or night.

 We really can't see the sky so we just sleep when we want, The funny thing is Roby doesn't need sleep, he just likes to sleep. The last room of the shack is our storage, It's the biggest room in the shack that holds most of our equipment, like our weapons, food, clothing, spare parts, etc.

I took my hoodie off and set it on a shelf near me and then hopped onto the worn-out mattress that I found in the trash and began to lie down. Roby followed my lead and went to his charger port that is powered by a repaired car battery and switched himself into sleep mode, Roby has solar panels to charge himself but for those to work, he needs to have sunlight and you don't get any of that in an underground trash hole.

I rolled over on my side with my body facing the wall and slowly closed my eyes as I drifted to a good sleep, I only had one last thought before I slept.

Tomorrow will be life-changing.

7 hours later

BOOM!!!!!!!

The sound of a loud explosion had woken me and Roby up from our peaceful sleep, both of us didn't move for a second and just stared at each other.

 But then came a second explosion, we then got up as quickly as we ever did and got outside the shack to look at where the explosions were coming from.

Another explosion went off, which made both of us look up and see a large ship coming down from the ceiling while dropping bombs to clear there way. The ship continued dropping bombs to open a hole big enough for the ship to fully get through safely. After that, it started slowly descending down and I got excited and started waving to grab their attention as they descended.

After they had made it inside, their ship let out a red light that was similar to Roby's scanning beam. It looks like the ship is doing a full scan of the area… but something didn't feel right about this ship.

After a moment, the beam finally made it down to where Roby and I were and then began to scan us with the ship's scanners. After a full minute of the ship scanning us, the ship's scanner turned off and continued to descend until it was 40 feet off the ground.

 That's when the ship used its announcement the speakers and man did the announcement made my heart sink.

"Orders received from the leader of the ship: eliminate all hostiles in the area!" The speaker on the ship reported, and as soon as it did that, the ship fired at us with some type of canon.

 I dived to the right while Roby rolled to the left, and we managed to dodge out of the way which was good, but not for our now blown-up shack. I wanted to feel sad about our home, but it wasn't the time for that now.

I ran over, grabbed Roby, and started running the opposite way of the ship. I looked back to check if any other rockets were going to get fired at us, but what I did see was a big robot that was staring directly at me as I was running away. The robot was fully black with a hood on top of his head along with a full black robe as clothing. It also had glowing red eyes but with no pupils, and the weapon it had on it was just a scythe with some markings on it. The robot looked like a robot, Grim Reaper.

Me and the robot locked eyes for a total of 6 seconds, the robot then let out a loud laugh that I could hear clearly and proceeded to lift its scythe and point it at me.

"Eject about all bots and bring me everyone's scalps! I've been bored a little on the trip here to meet you Nigiel Keth!" he said as a flash of red light flashed from his hand, and what followed it was 20 robots with many different weapons. They fell out of their ship and began gunning for me at a slow pace.

"This is going to be a long day!" I chuckled out of fear  and somewhat joy while still running for my life while dragging Roby with me.
