(Your P.O.V.)

"WAKE UP, WAKE UP! Get your ass out of bed! WAKE UP, WAKE UP! Get your ass out of bed! "

I had to hear that damn alarm on my dresser as I was trying to turn it off. But I couldn't hit the snooze button. I gave up trying and just punched the alarm, knocking it off my bed, and breaking it.

"*Sigh* Damnit." I say out of annoyance.

Now I need to get another one of the spares I had in the closet. I yawned as I get up and stretch. Yep, this is my morning routine... I guess anyway. Going into the bathroom, my hair was a bit of a mess but I could fix that easily.

I was about to brush my teeth, but I remembered that I didn't have breakfast yet. When I went down the stairs, there were still boxes I needed to unpack, though I was a bit lazy, and it was a school day. What did caught my eyes was that the floor looked a little dirty.

"Hey, mom!... Mom?!... Oh right." I was still a bit used to living with my parents.

So, I unpacked my Roomba with 'Robot Mom' taped on the top and let that was put to work. It would have to do for now.

Breakfast was still a must so that was the next thing I went to do. After that, I brushed my teeth, packed my bag, put on my uniform... just kidding, my school didn't do those, so I just put on my normal attire. Not every school makes you have to wear a uniform after all.

Before I headed out the door though, I feel as though I forgot something. Then remembered my Ipod and grabbed that and my earbuds before I left. Then I played my favorite song as I headed out.

https://youtu.be/ApXoWvfEYVU

While it played, I took in a breath of air and sighed as I made my way to school. I loved this song and I just couldn't resist but...

Needless, to say I keep it in check

She was a bad bad, never the less

Calling it quits now, baby I'm a wreck

Crash at my place, baby you're a wreck

Needless, to say I keep it in check

She was a bad bad, never the less

Calling it quits now, baby I'm a wreck

Crash at my place, baby you're a wreck

I almost walked into the road, but quickly stopped at the crosswalk light. As I waited, the light changed fast and a car had stopped. Then I gave a thumbs up to the man driving before running across.

Then you're left in the dust, unless I stuck by ya

You're a sunflower, I think your love would be too much

Or you'd be left in the dust, unless I stuck by ya

You're a sunflower, you're a sunflower

Once the song had finished, I had made it to the entrance to my school and entered. I put my earbuds away, headed inside, put my stuff in my locker, then get to homeroom. After that, I looked at the time and noticed that it was still early.

So I took out my Ipod and was ready to put my earbuds back in, but then something covered my view. A newspaper. And the one holding it was none other than a certain friend of mine.

"Ya see this man?" He says.

"Nah, never seen it before today." I tell him.

This was Eric. My best friend since childhood, and was known for believing the rumors about there being a vigilante appearing at night.

"It's pretty crazy right? These murders happening are pretty scary, but with the Robo Slayer coming to save us-"

"Robo slayer?"

"Yeah dude. Ya know, cause the guy fights robots and kills them?" I say nothing as I stared at him for a second. "Come on, it works. The amount of murders has decreased day by day because of him... I mean I think it's a guy." He starts to say as I sigh. "Just imagine the headlines saying things like the 'Robo Slayer has come'-"

"No offense man, it kinda sounds like a dumb Terminator rip off."

"Hey, it's hard to come up with something original, okay?" He says before winking in a certain direction.

I look around in confusion. "W-what are you winking at?" I say before he looked dumbfounded. "Anyways, I don't know about this whole vigilante guy or girl or whatever."

"Are you saying you don't believe in the Robo Slayer?"

"First of all, please stop saying 'Robo Slayer'. Second, not really. I just think that stuff like that only happens in cartoons and comics and others. It all sounds too cool to be true."

"Well, they found proof. Take a look."

I decided to take a look at the newspaper and skimmed it over. Sure enough, there was a part where it said something about 'evidence' and I took a look.

"Um, it says here that they found robot parts at the scene. I don't see-"

"Keep reading." He interrupted as he put his arm around my shoulders. "Right until here." He says while pointing below the part I read.

Feeling a bit uncomfortable, I continued reading. "Blah, blah... blah, blah... witness-" I stopped and read a bit.

It was saying about how there was a witness at the scene about to be attacked before she was saved. She says that she couldn't see her savior's face, but she wished to thank whoever it was.

"Ya see?" Eric says with a smirk on his face.

"Um... well don't know if I can argue." I tell him.

I didn't want to argue with him over something as dumb as this. Besides, the teacher had walked in and it was time to start class. He tried to calm the class, but everyone kept talking amongst each other. The teacher was getting annoyed and kept trying but to no avail. And at that point, he had enough.

"CAN Y'ALL SHUT THE HELL UP!!!" He screamed out as the whole class went quite. "Goddamn, all y'all kids do is TALK!" He yelled furiously. "And y'all talking like all of y'all passed my test last Friday. The HIGHEST grade was a 58!" He shouted out to the class.

"58?" Eric says to me, worried.

"HIGHEST! And I'll be damned to lose my MOTHER F***ING job, BECAUSE Y'ALL IDIOTS WANNA TALK!" He screamed further. "How about you SHUT THE HELL UP! AND LOOK WHAT'S ON THE BOARD!" He slapped his hand against the white board behind him.

"Ain't nothin' on the board though." A random student called out, which didn't help.

"It's-it's okay... once I start passing these grades out, I-Matter of fact I might as put the person in the spiderweb the lowest grade, WHICH IS ERIC!" He yelled while pointing towards my friend who looked shocked. "ERIC A 22?!" He screamed out as everyone was shocked to hear it.

"I got a 22?" Eric says in shock.

"Well, you're the only Eric in THIS CLASS! DUMBASS!"

"Aight, listen, I know you're disappointed, but don't disrespect me-"

"Oh, NO-NO-NO you're not the only one that's a dumbass, THE WHOLE CLASS IS! I'm just saying, if there was a tear, you'd be the lowest!"

"Dumbass? He got me all messed up." Another student says.

"Lia, pass these out! MS. 45 PERCENT!" He yelled one last time while handing said student a bunch of paper.

She I felt bad for, since she normally gets higher, but I guess even this class was a bit much for her. I mean, the test was hard, but how could so many people fail this one class? Shouldn't there be at least one or two who passed?

As the papers were being passed out, Eric was handed his and let his head fall to his desk. That got me worried, what if my grade was close to being as low as his? When my test was past to me, I closed my eyes, since I didn't want to see.

I hesitated and took a bit of time, but I decided to open them. When I looked down at my test, I was ready for whatever it could've been. Then my eyes widened when I saw my grade. A 65 percent, holy shit.

"Yes..." I say as I was about to pick it up.

Then Eric looked over and leaned over. "Uh, dude, first of all..." He says before putting his hand on my test. "It's upside down." Then he rotated it.

Then I froze in place when I saw my grade... a 29... a 29... t-that was all I got? Out of all the others I got a grade next to near the lowest? My life is over... how could I have gotten such a low-

"And second of all, he said that the highest grade was 58." Eric then explained.

When I remembered that fact, my head dropped... I can't believe that I failed in such a way. I'm so pathetic.

"Now that y'all dumbasses got your test results, put'em all away, cause we about to start class. And DON'T any one of you even THINK of slaking off!" The teacher yelled as everyone understood and decided to pay closer attention, especially me.

(Timeskip)

It's finally a free period and I sat in one of the chairs in a classroom while looking over my tests in distraught. I can't believe this, I got 29 percent. Thank god I live alone or else my mom would be mad, but she would likely find out eventually and all I could do was hope for the best.

I do feel bad for Eric since he got lower, but I still was nearly close to him and got the second to worse grade. I looked it over just in case he might've been failing us, but I was wrong to assume that.

"Pretty crazy right?" Speak of the devil, Eric was beside me. "I've gotten about 50 or 53 before, but 22... man, my parents are not gonna be happy about this." He says while looking at his paper.

"I know... think you'll get the belt?" I jokingly asked.

"I'll be lucky just to get the broomstick, man." He jokingly said back.

Then we started to hear grunting and a few other noises before we saw the door slam open, revealing Lia. Who understandably was annoyed as all hell.

She stepped into the room and walked towards us while kicking over a desk in annoyance before sitting at her desk and having her head down. I knew she had a temper so I wasn't too shocked and I turned to her.

"Uh... you okay, Li?" I say the nickname we gave her. She didn't answer. "That good, huh?" I asked again. Still no answer. "Right." If you want to know, I also knew her during childhood.

"Man, if this one test was so bad that everyone failed, I'm afraid to see the other classes." Eric says.

"This is so ridiculous! That guy has to be failing us! There is no way, a WHOLE CLASS, got 58 as the highest score!" Lia says out of annoyance. "I can understand a third of the class, half the class would be suspicious, but a whole class? Come on!" She yelled while slapping her paper.

"So, I'm guessing your parents have a worse punishment than I do?" He asked.

"Like hell am I going to show this to them."

"Ya know they could still find out at some point." I point out.

"I can hide it from them. I've done it before, I can still do it."

"Okay then."

"By the way, have you seen this?" Eric then says, handing her the newspaper.

Lia looked at it then tossed out the window which made his eyes widen a bit. "Yeah, I've seen that. Some dumb news about a vigilante and yada yada."

"Dumb news? Come on, seriously?" He said in annoyance. "You know the Robo Slayer does good things for-"

"Wait, wait, wait, Robo Slayer?"

"Yeah, they slay robots."

"That sounds like a dumb Terminator knock off that a child came up with."

"Thank you." I say, agreeing with her.

"UGH! Look, Robo Slayer is the best I can come up with, okay? I'm not an expert in naming things." Eric says in annoyance. "And anyway, it's not dumb news. How is it so hard to believe that there's a Batman kind of hero out there? It's all over the news and everything."

"Firstly, stuff like that only happens in cartoons and comics and others-" She starts to say.

"Again, thank you." I say again.

"Secondly, not everything on the news happens in real life."

"I mean, if they have evidence, then they technically do. A girl explained everything." Eric tried to argue back.

"Yes, but there's also a chance that this girl could've been drunk, or they lied. Come on, a written statement? They could've put that in themselves."

"I mean, she does have a point, Eric. That stuff can be easy to fake." I say before wondering why I didn't say that say that earlier.

"Wow, you two are just real downers aren't you?" Eric says before the bell rings. "Well, I think he or she is real. Besides, we might still be alive because of them." He says while getting up.

"Fine, fine. Whatever you say." Lia got up as well and I did too.

From what I can hope for, it's that he'd drop it... one timeskip later, my hopes were dashed. Eric and Lia argued about it at the end of the day, which I'm kinda used to by now. They've gone at each other's throats before, and while it doesn't happen very often, it's still nothing to be surprised over.

"There's no way they'd put something on the news if it didn't happen." Eric says in anger.

"Except they do. Most news channels lie about stories all the time." Lia argued back.

"Yeah well, maybe once or twice, but not constantly. They would have given up and not be so lazy to use the same story over and over."

"I can't believe out of all the things we're arguing about, this is one of them."

"I can't believe you think that the news is wrong."

"I don't think they're wrong all the time. I just think that it sometimes sounds ridiculous, especially this kind."

"Can we please talk about something else-" My words fell upon deaf ears, cause they were still arguing.

When we left the doors outside, they finally stopped which I was relieved by. But they stopped because they saw that everyone else outside was gathered up around a part of the street that was covered with police tape.

"Woah, what's up with them?" Eric asks.

We decided to head over and check it out, there we found our two other friends just in the back of the crowd. Izu and Tenya.

"Hey, guys!" I say, gaining their attention. "What's going on over there?"

"We don't know. The police showed up and they're not saying anything." Izu explains as Tenya nods, since he was mute.

"Oh come on, this is obvious. They're trying to keep us from seeing the body." Eric explains.

"Wait, what?"

"Come on, police tape, don't want anyone to see, there's a dead body over there."

"Holy, crap. This close to the school?" I say in shock.

"I mean, what else would this be? Call me crazy all you want, this is a murder scene."

"You have got to be kidding me." Lia says.

"He's got a point." I say, agreeing with him as Tenya nodding.

"Hey, hey, get back everyone!" A man says while going past the tape. "Alright, I'm here." He then says to the police who allow him to see the scene.

"With how many of these are happening, it's not really surprising that one happened here of all places. Then again it is alarming that it happened here." I state.

"Damn." Lia says.

"I-I'm kinda scared. What if one of us is next?" Izu asked as she was scared.

"Well, this is the first time it happened here. I mean, a killer wouldn't be dumb enough to attack in the same place would he?" Eric then says, trying to cheer her up.

"Yeah, but still-" Izu started to say before Tenya placed a hand on her shoulder.

He looked at her, then made a gesture with his hand saying 'Don't be scared.' with a smile on his face.

I chuckled a bit. "You always know what to say don't ya, Ten?" He smirked with a thumb up.

Then we heard the shudder of a camera. "Hey! Get the hell down from there before I get someone to shoot ya!" Then we saw some guy with a camera getting down from the roof where the scene was.

"Huh? Hey, I think he got a picture!" Eric then says before running after the man.

"Eric, ugh!" I say, but he clearly didn't hear.

"I'll get him. He's probably getting the guy to prove his 'case'." Lia says while going after him.

When they were gone, I sighed and looked over to my other friends. "So, you have anything to do?"

"Um... no, not really." Izu tells me as Tenya just shook his head.

(Timeskip)

We decided to head to a McDonald's, since hearing that there could have been a dead body near our school was fearful and we could use something to take our minds off of it. Unfortunately, the line seemed pretty long so, it'd proved that it's gonna be a while before we get to order, and I sighed.

"I mean, I get that McDonald's has good fries, but come on." I say in a bit of annoyance.

"Well, it's not really too surprising if you think about it. I mean, Chick fil A is closed so I guess everyone would go to the next best thing?" Izu says as Tenya shrugged.

"Okay, well I'm gonna play some Among Us. Ya wanna join."

After a bit, we were getting closer to the front of the line and as of now, I was uploading files in admin. As I was working with it, I heard the vent open and jumped when I did. Thankfully it was finished and I ran out of there.

Then the lights went out and I got scared. I looked around and ran to electrical while still being wary. When I got there, Tenya had already fixed the lights and I sighed in relief while going by him to do wires. Then I heard the door shut behind me, but before I could look... Everything went black.

Defeat
T3NY4 was the imposter

"Damnit!" I say as Izu moaned in disappointment. "It was you the entire time man?" I ask as Tenya just smirked and shrugged which made me sigh. "Well played, Ten. Well played."

We were about to begin another game, then we heard shouting from up front. "What do you mean you don't have anymore Digimons!" A lady was screaming while waving an unopened Leomon figure in front of the employees face.

"Oh, my god... the plural of Digimon is Digimon." I say in a bit of annoyance.

"As I said ma'am, we don't have anymore. We're out of stock." The man tells her.

"LIAR! I saw you advertise a robot dinosaur so you do have one!" The lady screamed back.

"Oh, this is gonna be good." I then say as I start recording Karen vs McDonald's Employee.

"Ma'am, we don't have anymore of them. We only have that and a tiny yellow dinosaur-"

"I don't want this SHIT or a yellow dinosaur!" The lady yelled and then we hear the line. "I WANT TO SPEAK TO YOUR MANAGER!"

"... Ma'am, I am the manager."

"Then I want to speak to your supervisor."

The man smirked. "I am the supervisor."

This made the bitch growl in annoyance, turning red which I chuckled a bit as Tenya silently laughed and Izu just glared at us.

"Just look for it!" Karen yells.

The man rolled his eyes and began looking through the bag, not expecting to find anything. But then, he found a Mechadramon toy and pulled it out. That made Karen smirk and me and my friends look annoyed that she won.

"See that wasn't so hard was it?" She said smugly.

He sighed before putting the toy in a Happy Meal, then she walked over to a table, not taking it and expecting it be delivered. Typical. I sigh and put my phone away as me and my friends walked up to order.

"I'm sorry, it must have fallen in there by mistake. That's the only one." The man tells us.

"I-it's okay." I say in symphony. "Ya want your usually, Ten?" I asked as Tenya nodded. "And you?"

"I'll just get a small frie and a drink." Izu says.

"Okay, he'll have the Big Mac with a medium frie and nuggets." I explain to the man.

Before I could give my order, he smirked. "And would you like a chicken nugget Happy Meal?" He asked as I looked a bit confused. Then he called over to the other staff to get the other two orders ready before handing me Karen's Happy Meal. "I'll just tell her you ordered the same and I got it mixed up."

With that, I stood there for a second before my friends were handed their bags as Izu went to get a drink. I looked at the Happy Meal, at the employee and just took it.

"Thanks." I then say before leaving, while making sure to gesture to my friends to follow as we quickly got out of there. "Oh, man. That was good right there. I wish I got that camera. I wanted to catch that woman's face when she finds out about what happened."

"I mean, she did technically deserve it so..." Izu says as Tenya shrugs while nodding and eating some fries.

"Yeah, no kidding." I then take out my phone to check the time and was surprised. "OH SHIT! I was still recording!" I say before realizing I didn't stop it.

"Wait, what?" Izu says as Tenya nearly choked on his fries.

All of this, while a certain someone was watching from a rooftop.

(Masane's P.O.V.)

So, these are the friends he has in this little group. I guess they seem nice, but I'm keeping an eye on those girls. I don't trust them even for a second. The boys get a pass though, they don't seem to be trouble. I find it amusing what he did back there to that bitch. Even if I'd prefer a more... 'different' approach, that was kinda funny I guess.

Though, considering what I heard earlier, he doesn't believe in these vigilante rumors. Personally, that weird friend of him calling me a 'Robo Slayer' honestly made me feel a bit annoyed to be called something so dumb.

As I was watching him, he left his friends after he finished eating and go into an alleyway. What is with people and going down alleyways? I thought they considered it dangerous. And I was right, another one of those 'machines' was far behind him, and turned into its true form.

Oh no, you're not.

"Hehe, I am feeling a bit-" I stabbed it before it could finish its sentence.

"Don't even think about it." And rip out of it, causing it to burst like the others.

The liquid that comes from them always tastes good when it's done by someone like me, especially when it's to keep them from what's rightfully mine. I went back to his house and found through the window that he was currently making dinner for himself.

He also had this strange machine that went around the floor with a piece of paper saying: 'Robot Mom' taped on it. Is that supposed to be... no, no, he probably just did that himself.

But that got me wondering, where are he parents? He seems young but, I never thought I'd find him alone by himself like this. It made feel... sad? I-I never felt something like that before, but then again... I haven't exactly have any company throughout the days of my life.

I waited until night, which was when he finally went to sleep. I managed to get inside through the window. There he was, sleeping peacefully right there in front of me. He looked so cute and adorable even with his eyes closed. While he was asleep, I looked around a bit. This place seemed empty safe for a few boxes around, guessing he just moved into this place.

So, he's on his own then, which I felt a little bad about, but it also made sneaking around easier. As long as he didn't have anyone over, I could get around without being noticed.

He does seem very young compared to me, but I don't care. I brushed my hand across his cheek as I felt his skin against my palm, which felt amazing. I wanted to get into that bed and hold him in my arms, but not yet. It's not the time to do so. But one day I will have the feeling of him sleeping in my arms, I'll make sure of it.

"I'll see you soon my love."

I didn't want to leave without doing something, so I gave him a kiss on his cheek. When he stirred, my hand glowed and I felt it. I felt the pleasure emitting from him. It felt so good that I almost lost it and done... I don't know what with him.

As much as I didn't want to leave, I had to wait for the right moment. When it came, that's when I'd have him... that's when I'd have this boy all to myself.

To be continued...
