A giant metal foot from a massive evil robot was about crush Astro. He gasped just before he was grabbed and saved by the orphan kids in their flying car. 

"Astro." (Y/N) said. She smirked as the boy opened his eyes. 

"(Y/N)? Cora?" Astro asked as he looked around and acknowledged the other kids. "Thanks guys. Hey? W-who's driving?" Astro asked confused before two barks came from the front seat. Trashcan looked to the kids as he drove. The kids yelled in fear and Trashcan continued to drive. The giant robots eye stared at them right in front of the windscreen. The kids screamed again. "Trashcan! Faster!" Astro ordered. Trashcan growled as he couldn't reach the pedals. 

"Move over!" Zane yelled as he pushed the dog out of the way. They drove/flew away as the robot chased them. He ran into a bunch of powerlines and electrocuted himself. All of Metro City's electricity switched off and the floating island began to lower towards the surface. 

"Uh, are we going up?" Sludge asked. 

"No, the city's going down!" Cora corrected him. 

"If the city falls, then everyone in it will-" (Y/N) began but Astro cut her off. 

"(Y/N), I have to take care of this." 

"Astro, stop. Astro!" (Y/N) yelled after him as he flew back to the falling city. 

"Look!" Sludge pointed below the city to where Astro was. He used his built-in rocket shoes to help the city fall down slower. Metro City lowered to the ground with no one injured. 

"Where is he?" Widget asked. "Will he be okay?" 

"I hope so." Sludge added. (Y/N) continued to look around desperately, hoping that there was still some small chance he was alive. Meanwhile, the giant robot stood up and looked around for the same boy. 

"Hey! Ugly!" A voice called to him. "Down here." He looked down to see a skinny light greenish blue robot and two others. All of different heights and builds. "We demand immediately that you cease oppressing out comrade, Astro. We may not be allowed to harm humans, but there's nothing to say we can't do some serious damage to a monster. Aye, comrades?" The skinny one said with a fist in the air. He turned around and found his friends had run away in fear. "Oh! Look over there!" He pointed away from where he was running and exclaimed as he ran after his comrades. The much larger robot continued to search for Astro, much like some orphan kids in a flying car. 

"Where are you, Astro?" Cora asked, knowing she wasn't going to get a response. Their car flew for a couple more seconds it was grabbed by the massive evil robot. 

"Where's your robot friend? Where is he?!" He asked. Widget cried loudly as the car continued to shake. "I've got an election to win, and I want that core! Tell me where he's hiding! Tell me! Do you hear me? Where is he?!" He continued to yell before a zooming sound was heard from behind him, Astro. "You're back for more?" He challenged. He noticed how Astro was aiming for his chest, which was where his core was located. Then he realised what the boy was planning. "Wait! Wait. No, no! Wait, wait, wait!" Astro smiled as he got closer to what he knew would be his end. "Wait, no!" The robot screamed. 

Astro's smile stayed as he remembered everything good that had happened in his life. And the people in it.
