RECYCLE

[Stardust_Rose_Dragon]

This story came from me listening to a song by Luka Megurine called Re-Cycle. Then I listened to Yugioh 5Ds. Afterwards, I pulled out my character book (I have a sketchbook dedicated to the characters I make) and started to write a story.

Guys, just to point this out; in this story, a 6 year old can remember a dieing robot until he is 18. It's called fanfiction.

The first chapter (Day 1) is before the Zero Reverse incident, and then we have a time skip, in which the Zero Reverse incident occurs.

By the way if you see this:[b] INFORMATION_ENTRY[/b] at the end of the chapter title, that means it is giving you a small insight on something.

PLEASE tell me what I can do to improve on this, and also, ask me questions. I will answer them, as long as they pertain to RECYCLE. I will NOT tolerate questions like, [b]"Do you like pizza?"[/b]

ENJOY!

[spoiler=Storage_Access_#2512_Data_Storage_Day_0]I’m a robot. One that was the first of the beta robots the company RECYCLE has made. It stands for Renewing Electronics Cycle You Cannot Love Enough. I am supposed to be able to be renewed at their labs, and soon by electrical plugs for computers, where you can see what we learned and as well as the ability to revive us if our bodies get too old. All the person needs to do is get a new set of clothes and click a button.

Now I’ll tell you my story as #2512, Taya Runner.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Storage_Access_#2512_Data_Storage_Day_1]I felt a human tapping my arm. A child, I assured myself.

“You awake?” The child asked

I opened my eyes to see a male child, looking at my tattered maiden clothes.

“I will be for a bit longer,” I said, holding out my metallic hand.

The boy must have noticed my voice. I have a static filled voice, no matter what I say.

He looked at me uncertainly, “You sound,” he paused, “weird.”

I held it out farther, “I’m a robot, #2512, part of the first generation of the renewable robots RECYCLE has made.”

He frowned, “Don’t you got a name?”

I searched my burned data for my name, and found 2 of the 4 letters. T and Y.

“Ta-ya.” I said, not sure of myself.

He touched my hand, “I’m Yusei Fudo. Do you need help? I could get Daddy cause he is awsome. He always helps people!”

I pulled my hand away and sighed, “Yusei, I am not a person, I am a robot, a piece of metal ran by electricity. I am supposed to be here. I’m waiting for the day I open my eyes as a new Ta-ya. The RECYCLE Ta-ya.” I said my name in two syllables, still not sure about it.

A new, female voice called out, “Yusei? Where did you go?”

Yusei called back, “By the yellow light!”

A woman ran up. Yusei’s mother, I had guessed.

“Who are you?” she asked me, feeling my arm.

I replied, “I’m #2512, part of the first generation of RECYCLE robots."

I smiled. I might not be alive for much longer before going out of service, but I had some people to remember, as I was RECYLEd.

“I am ready to be RECYCLEd. Farewell, Ms. Fudo, and you too, Yusei. I will soon be back to see you.”

“How will we know it is you?”

“I will look the same, just made a little more smoother, and better clothes. Call me #2512, and I will know it is you, Yusei. Even if it takes me a while and you are grown-up, I’ll know it is you.” I replied, my eyes welcoming the darkness as they slipped closed.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Storage_Access_#2512_Data_Storage_Day_2]The next thing I knew, I was in the R.E.C.Y.C.L.E. lab, in a new metallic, yet realistic, frame.

I opened my eyes, and looked around in my biochemical water tank. My builder, Ms. Yokune, along with my friend Jackie, who is another R.E.C.Y.C.L.E. robot like me, were staring at me. I gave them the evil eye and they both laughed. Ms. Yokune knew me since I was manufactured, so she was glad to see me in my old self. I was glad as well.

“It seems she is awake.” Jackie said, happy.

“Yes, and she still holds that information.” Ms. Yokune noted. Yeah, about that Ms. Yokune, it is Yusei and his mom’s DNA. So if you don’t mind…

“Shall we let her keep it?” Jackie asked. Wait. WHAT?

“Yes, she is much too protective about that than any other thought. If we do take it, I am afraid we may have to deal with another raging robot.” Ms. Yokune answered looking at my systems, which were running great.

“Alright.”

I was alarmed. Raging robot? I WANT SOME DANG ANSWERS!

Ms. Yokune looked at me, as if sizing me up, if I was fit enough to come out of my watery prison.

She told Jackie to leave, which she did. Ms. Yokune took shelter on a high ledge, and pressed the button to let me out.

I shook out of the wires holding me up, and the front of the container fell forward, releasing all the biochemical water, which was sucked into a drain on the floor. If Ms. Yokune was touched by that water, she would have disintegrated and died.

“Ms. Yokune? What is this about a raging robot?” I asked as soon as I was free.

Ms. Yokune came down to see me. She looked around 12 years older, which made her 30. Wait, I was in that container for 12 years?

“Well it happened 6 years ago, when you were halfway through the recycle process. It was your brother, Jake. We deleted a piece of data he protected. He broke open the tank, and biochemical water got me on my arm and both of my legs.”

Ms. Yokune lifted her cape off her legs, and they looked like mine, only with screws in them. She also showed me her arm, which in the same condition.

I gaped, “What did you do to him?”

“We put him in the recycle bin, for decommissioning.”

I felt something die in me. My brother was dead. For good.

I asked, “Did you figure out how to revive us on a computer?”

“Yes. But if you are in the middle of being recycled, you cannot be switched to another source.”

Ms. Yokune then asked me, “What is that data you were protecting?”

I explained everything about Yusei and his mom.

She then smiled at me and handed me a plug, “Go find Yusei, and stay with him. I want you to be happy, Taya.”

“But!”

“No Taya, you told Yusei you would find him again, and by now he would be all grown up. I want you to see him again. I will give you a telephone-hologram program with my number. Remember, I’m part robot now.”

I nodded, hugging her one last time, before taking the telephone-hologram program and downloading it. I shook away my tears and ran off into the sunset, clutching the plug used to revive me to my heart.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Storage_Access_#2512_Data_Storage_Day_3]Once I got into the sectioned off city of Satellite, I saw Yusei, who was an 18 year old now.

He took one look at me and said, “Do I know you?”

I smiled and asked, just to tease him, “What is your name? Answer within a 10 word limit.”

He tilted his head to the side, and I laughed.

“My name is Taya, Yusei!” I cried as I bounded over to him, and gave him a robotic hug.

Yusei had tears in his eyes, remembering me, “I’m so glad you are back. I need someone to be with me.”

I asked him why and he broke down, “Mom died. Dad did too.”

I gave him my RECYCLE plug, “Keep it so I can be with you forever.”

He stared at me, “What?”

“It’s been 12 years Yusei. They found a way to use computers of any kind to revive robots like me! I want to stay with you! My brother went insane, so RECYCLE had to shut him down for good, Ms. Yokune turned part robot, and my friend Jackie is Ra knows where! Please, I just want a human to be at my side.”

He nodded and took the plug from me.

I knew Yusei would be a great person to be with. As long as robots were considered citizens, we could be with each other forever.

I got a call.

5549.

Jackie!

I poked my arm, which had my control pad in it, and Jackie’s hologram appeared in front of me.

“Hi Taya!” Jackie said, hugging me.

I know that is a little weird, but whatever you want your hologram do, the hologram does.

“Hi there,” I told her. “Where the heck are you?”

“In Neo Domino,” she answered. “I’m looking for 18 year old blonde guy as tall as Ms. Yokune. Got any ideas of where to look first?”

“This guy’s name?” I asked back.

“Jack Atlas.”

Yusei said, “I know him!”

Jackie looked at Yusei, “Who are you?”

I told Jackie, “He is Yusei Fudo. I met him before I got RECYCLEd 12 years ago like you.”

“Oh yeah,” she then turned towards Yusei, “Hey, do you have an idea where Jack could be?”

“If you could wait for maybe a few days or weeks I could get to the city to see you. Jackie, do you have a chance to buy a D-Wheel? I mean, you are a robot, so you won’t have to go through training.”

“Yeah! I just have to get something from Ms. Yokune,” she paused. “You probably don’t know who she is, do you.”

Yusei shook his head.

“Well, she was the one who came up with the reviving system, but she had to make a different setup. So, she made Taya, Cara, Kandance, Jake, and me. I’m sure Taya told you about Jake.”

I broke in, “I sure did.”

Jackie laughed, “Well, I got a lot of patience, so take a YEAR it you have to.”

We waved farewell, I hung up, and Jackie's hologram disappeared.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Storage_Access_#2512_Data_Storage_Day_4]Yusei turned to me, “We both need to get D-Wheel licences as fast as possible. You are at least 18, right?”

I nodded, “I was built to be 18 so that is my official age.”

Yusei smiled, “Great. Lets get to Neo Domino. We’ll have to get our licences, and then I’ll have to get back here. I made a Runner for myself. I could make you one.”

I shook my head, “No thanks. I could get one running in a week.”

“Well then, lets get working on getting the materials from this trash-filled place I call home.”

We looked for the next 3 days, and found everything we needed. Yusei said he would get the acceleration chips, and I could put the engine and the body together. In the next 2 days, we had a non-painted, normal motorcycle style D-Wheel. Then, on the last day of the week, we found silver, teal and black paint. I was able to paint it on that day, as well as add a pair of large teal angel wings to the sides.

Now we needed licences.

We got to Neo Domino, and to our luck, Security came up to us.

“Hey,” said officer said in his gruff voice. “Aren’t you one of those RECYCLE robots? You seem pretty outdated.”

I answered, “Why yes, I am outdated. Thank you for reminding me that I was HANGING FROM WIRES IN A TUBE FULL OF BIOCHEMICAL WATER FOR 12 YEARS!”

The officer stared at me, and attempted to put a handcuff around my neck. I was able to catch it on my wrist, and left him laughing as he noticed what I did.

“You ARE outdated,” he laughed. “You are coming with me, robot. Goodwin will see what to do with you.”

“Oh really?” I smirked as the handcuff shattered around my wrist. I had used an electric current to break the cuff. To get away, I grabbed Yusei’s hand, swung the 18 year old into my arms, sprouted my wings, and took off over the tall skyscrapers.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Storage_Access_#2512_Data_Storage_Day_5_INFORMATION_ENTRY]I should tell you about my wings.

They’re not that special. I mean, all they are, they’re just wings that look like Stardust Dragon’s. I am a robot, but still, they are pretty enhanced. All of the recycle robots have wings, I think. At least, my friends and I do. I remember Jake had Majestic Star Dragon’s wings because he was my older brother. Jackie has Red Dragon Archfiend’s; Cara has Black Wing Dragon’s; and Kandance has things on her shoes that let her float, because she has the Earthbound Immortal Ccapac Apu’s power. Kandance isn’t evil; she wanted Ccapac Apu as her monster, anyhow.

We all got to pick who our wings were after. Since I had a sibling, I really didn’t have a choice, but I picked Stardust Dragon over Shooting Star Dragon. They still gave me weapons though. I won’t go there now, as I can explain that later.[/spoiler]

Problem with chapter 1: Yusei never said his last name,but she called his mom 'Mrs. Fudo'.

Got bored around chapter 3. Yusei recognized Taya too easily, then things started sliding down the Boredom Tube.

Hooray, Taya [s]Sue[/s] has wings. Boring.

K, thx bai.

I'm glad you told me, or I would have NEVER noticed that I didn't put his last name in it (goes to fix it).

I am now realizing a kid going from age 6 to 18 CAN'T remember what she looked like. I should make it so he's like, "Do I know you?"

Stardust Dragon wings, dude. They are [s]that[/s] awsome. XD

He wouldn't have recognized her at all. I think I just null-and-voided chapters three through five. Sorry.[/b]

But, I would think that if someone asked you to remember them, and they were a robot. He is 6 years old, and has probably never seen a talking robot.

Even so, normal-ish people shove unimportant memories deep into their subconscious, possibly never to be seen again. If I met a dying robot at age six, I probably would even have remembered, especially not 12 years later.
