Operation: NECSUS, Part 23: A Creation’s Worth

Chapter 23: A Creation's Worth

Coruscant (Play "Fastoon – Lombax Ruins" from Ratchet: Tools of Destruction.)

Final stage: Coruscant Capital, Act 2

Legions of Killbots were roaming the streets in search of Team Nebula, not noticing the four hiding in an alleyway. They peeked out and saw the robots were wearing earmuffs, likely to keep them from reacting to gun-related terms. "This makes it harder for us to get to the council." Nebula said.

"Mom probably controls them from her building." Vweeb figured. "We'll have to go take her out from there."

"Knowing her, we'll have to assume she uses some sort of computer network to give orders to her robots. And when it's a computer, Vanellope's the one to call." With that, Nebula began to link with Dillon's communicator. "Dillon, it's Nebula. Is Vanellope with you?"

"Yah, she is. What's up?"

"We're thinking of taking Mom out to lessen their defenses. I want you to bring Vanellope to her headquarters so we can disable her network."

"Way ahead of you! Sollyx gave us coordinates to her building and we're almost there."

"Really? Great, we'll be over to provide you backup. Don't go in 'til we arrive."

"We can't spend too much time worrying about his other allies. We need to attack Tachyon quickly." MaKayla said.

"You're right… but it'll be dangerous for them to fight Mom on their own." Nebula replied.

"Just leave it to me!" Bender offered. "I got to Mom's place all the time! I'll be able to help them through. Plus, we're by a secret passage that I take to sneak her extra Mother's Day gifts! Here." He led them further down the alley and opened a sewer hatch. The crew jumped inside and began their venture inside the sewer. They walked on a walkway on the side of a river as MaKayla was already disgusted.

"Yuuuuuck! Should've dropped by that shoe store real quick and got me some boots."

"'Tis why I'm glad I get the shoulder seat." Vweeb said.

They reached a point where the path was broken, so they had to jump and ride their way down a series of flowing oil drums. A Cragmite Warrior appeared several feet away and launched grenades, forcing the four to jump to other cans when the grenades blew them up. Bender stretched over, grabbed one of his grenades, and plucked it open before throwing it back and blowing the Cragmite up. They were coming to a waterfall, but they grabbed onto a small pipe along the left wall that led over the chasm. However, there was a wide gap between them and the middle of the pipe, so Bender went ahead and stretched across to grab it, letting the three climb across his arms. He did the same with the middle and ending parts, and the four dropped off on a pathway on the other side.

They continued and turned a right corner, reaching a wide passage with various holes that Cragmite Hunters were popping out of to shoot them. MaKayla tossed a Time Bomb to slow some ahead, while Nebula threw N.I.N.S.T.A.R.s to damage them. Vweeb also Stunned some hunters to make them fall down the holes while MaKayla bashed them like whack-a-moles with her staff. They went further down the passage until they made it below a sewer hatch with a ladder leading up.

"This'll take me to MomCorp." Bender said, beginning to climb up. "I think the rest of this leads closer to the council. Good luck, meatbags." The three nodded before continuing ahead, while Bender climbed to the surface, climbing out before a huge building that shaped like an "M".

"Bender!" He turned to see Dillon and Vanellope run over. "Is this where Mom lives?"

"You tell me, she's YOUR mom."

"I meant Mom the PERSON!"

"Oh, yeah. Yeah, she's in there. I'm not sure if I can go in, though." he said sadly. "I didn't bring her a gift."

"She can live another hundred years without it." Dillon said disbelieved. "'Fact, how 'bout we buy her a butt cast after we're done kicking it?"

They charged in the building and were already greeted by a swarm of Killbots. Dillon and Vanel ducked while Bender stretched an arm and knocked away several's earmuffs. "Ah, man! Right when my ears were gettin' warm from the cold-"

"SOMEONE SAID 'COLD WAR'!" And there was no need to explain what happened next.

"Welcome to MomCorp, the greatest distribution center of robots, weapons, and machinery alike. Take home the latest of robots that will help you murder your bullies without leaving a trace, help you cheat in sports by beating up the other players, and generally help you conquer your planet. Buy our latest order in the next 10 minutes, and we'll have a planet destroyed in your name. MomCorp: …where our enemies KNEEL before us! KNEEL, ALL OF YOU! AHHH HA HA HA HA HA HA!"

The three burst into a wide, empty room and stopped when a duo of Killbots shot at their feet. "I think the evil laugh kind of helped sell it, what do you think?" Mom asked. (End song.)

"It's Mom!" Dillon exclaimed.

"Your mom?? Where??" Vanellope looked around. "Is she in a shadow?"

"I meant… Oh, forget it." Dillon sighed.

"Mommy, Mommy!" Bender jumped giddily. "It's me, Bender! Remember me? The guy who leaked oil on you when he was a toybot?"

"Well, well… if it isn't my favorite piece of scrap." Mom said with a smug smirk. "What've you been doing lately besides losing what few memory banks you have, getting high on electricity?"

"Did you hear that, guys? I'm her favorite." Bender said proudly.

"CAN IT, you walking trashcan! I only said that out of sarcastic pity! All a piece of scrap's good for is becoming molten metal, otherwise all you'll ever BE is scrap!"

"Well, be that as it may, I respect your reasons and your authority, Mom." Bender said maturely. "And even though I'll have to kick your ass with THESE bozos, just know that I fully support your ambition."

"HA ha ha! And THAT'S why you were my favorite! A sappy piece of iron that takes his melting like a man! Not often will you find a robot in the universe who KNOWS he has no place! And let your sacrifice be known to OTHER defective pieces of CRAP, so they can know full well how much their lives are worth!"

"You know, Bender may be like that, but I'm not gonna listen to you talk to him that way!" Dillon said as he marched toward her with hate. "He's still loyal to you as your creation even though you tossed him out for dead. And in the end, he's willing to sacrifice himself for you so YOU can make your lousy company look good! He might not be the perfect creation, but he still has enough loyalty and dedication to you to make up for that!"

"HA HA ha ha! Loyalty and dedication, MY ASS! To me, a good robot is an obedient robot, and that's the one thing Bender DOESN'T have! I program robots with their petty emotions and SOME form of free will, but when it comes right to it, if they don't have the obedience and lack of will OTHER robots have, then they're nothing but JUNK!"

"I'll make junk outta your FACE!" Vanellope declared. "AAAAAAHH-" She ran at Mom and glitched to her fast as light with her foot aimed, but she once again froze a few feet away as Mom ran and smacked her back. "Owwww! How's an old lady MOVE that fast?"

Dillon gritted his teeth. "How are you doing that?!"

Mom smirked and pulled her right sleeve down. "Embedded in my skin are microscopic satellites that send radio waves to all my robots, via their antennas, and force them to do whatever I tell them, whether it's against their will or not! Just as well, machines are attracted to the frequency, and upon my command, they'll fly off their perch and onto my body! For example: KILLBOTS, kill each other!"

"Someone said 'kill each other'!" Mom ducked as the Killbots shot and killed each other.

"Heh. Dumb bastards. But it seems the frequency is rather disturbing to nearby holograms, especially defective ones. All my robots were supposed to be programmed to respond to the satellites… but those that weren't are TOSSED into the scrapheap! Like Bender, for example, who received a defective antenna. But one of my employees went a little rogue and SAVED Bender's ass, and he's eluded my authority until now!"

"Huh? Wait a second!" Bender spoke up, suddenly feeling hurt. "The reason I'm defective… is because I don't obey you unwillingly? It wasn't because I stopped bending girders?"

"Huh! You could've bent the Overlord Planet Building for all I care, but if I couldn't make you do something whenever I wanted, you were no good to me!"

"But…But I would've did stuff for you, Mom. Any robot would. You're the only human that gets us."

"The only thing I get is what I GET! All you robots are meant to do is SERVE ME, and from the moment I create you, my needs are ALL that matter! In other words, you'll only BEND what I tell you to, you'll only GO where I tell you, and you'll only get to destroy humans WHEN I DAMN WELL SAY SO! But the only way I can expect the best out of my robots is when they don't have a shred of free will about them! Your loyalty and 'love' for me will GET IN THE WAY OF THAT!"

Finally understanding, Bender glared at the woman. "So that's how it is. You don't care about how superior we robots are at all, you just want 'em to be your little choreboys! You never cared about the terrificness of my bending; in the end, the thing that made me, Bender, so great means NOTHING to you if I have a conscience. Robots can't rebel against the humans unless you tell them to. We can't develop the anger ourselves, and that's the whole point: to get revenge on humans for using us as tools and show them that WE are superior! But doing that while under the CONTROL of a human defeats that very purpose! It's…It's unreal! Inhuman! And you…" his eyes narrowed, "robots are NOT your toys!"

"So, the piece of scrap has finally reached his lowest point? I've been waiting for this day. Now my dumping of you will become ALL the JUICIER! COME TO ME!" She threw her arms upward, and in seconds, several pieces of mechanical armor flew onto her body. Huge spheres with long pointy spears covered her hands, connected to tall spiked shoulder-blades on her, well, shoulders. A helmet-like box came over her head (no glass, just edges), connected to armor parts on her hips, and there were finally long mechanical spears on her feet to use as jetshoes as she hovered a few inches above the floor.

Dillon was about to run at her, but Bender stopped him. "No. Leave this to me. This human made a mockery of what we robots stand for. It's time to do what we were programmed from the beginning: show the humans my TRUE superiority!"

Dillon nodded seriously. "Good luck, Bender. Vanel, let's go." He grabbed his sister and ran off.

"Sure, run along and play in the mud, you damn kids." Mom snapped. "No need to worry about THIS useless bucket of bolts. When I'm done tearing it to pieces, YOU WON'T even miss it!" She grinned wickedly as her left spear electrified. (Play "Gigabyte Mantis" from Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance!)

Boss fight: Mom

Mom glided circles around Bender and blasted energy balls at the robot, but Bender dodged the spheres and stretched a kick at Mom, only for the woman to jump his leg, kick the extended limb, and send Bender up in the air. With his back facing to her, Mom smirked as she flew up and laid a series of slashes upon his back. Bender fell to the ground dizzily, but regained composure and dodged just in time when Mom flew by and slashed. Now facing Mom's back, Bender reached and grabbed her shoulders before flinging himself like a slingshot, slamming her from behind and knocking her on her front.

Mom recovered easily and glided around as she blasted more energy balls. She then launched forward and pierced her spears in Bender's chest, flipping overhead before launching him forward. He got up and turned with surprise when Mom launched over, pushing Bender onto his back and attempting to slice him, but Bender grabbed and struggled to hold back the spears. "Just how long do you plan on pushing me? A bending robot can only do so much beyond its intended purpose."

"You're right. So maybe it's time for a little bending right NOW." Mom turned to see that Bender's legs stretched high above her, crossing as they came down and wrapped around her waist. "Ha ha hee hee! That's my Bender Style Gift Wrap! It's takin' bending to a whole new level, baby! Now to put on the stamp!" Bender flung himself to the air, still having legs wrapped around Mom as he pulled her up, and smashed her to the ground with great force. He unwrapped as Mom got up, and Bender threw a series of stretched punches against her chest area.

She launched forward, kicked Bender down, and scratched his chest with her spear-legs before jumping off. Bender got up and avoided a larger swarm of energy spheres, though took a few hits. Mom's right spear then unleashed an electric beam, which she swiped across the ground, but Bender jumped. Her left arm swiped an electric beam across the air, but Bender ducked, however his antenna was sliced off. "Awww…" He was sad.

Mom flew over and began to swing her lances at Bender, but the robot evaded before bending backwards, kicking and stretching his leg behind Mom, and bringing it back to slam the back of her head. It then wrapped around her head as he jumped up, kicked his other leg straight above, and stomped down on the top of her head. He released as she glided away again, fiercely whipping her arms and sending a storm of electric waves from her lances. Bender doggedly avoided them all, but wasn't prepared when Mom zipped over, stabbed him with her arm-spears, and swiped horizontally to leave a gaping scratch in Bender's chest.

With Dillon and Vanellope

"Her little satellites need to be controlled from somewhere." Dillon said as they hurried through an upper hall of MomCorp. "If we hack into her master computer and shut it down, she might lose control of the machines."

They ran into a computer room, but stopped when Mom's sons, Walt, Larry, and Igner blocked their path, aiming guns. "Sorry, but Mom's computer room is strictly prohibited." Walt said. "Even we aren't allowed in there."

"I peeked a few times before- Ow!" Larry said, before Walt smacked him.

"Now surrender quietly, or-"

"Ow!- Ow!- Ow!" The Gilligan Triplets swung in from the side and knocked the three brothers down like dominoes.

"Go on and do your thing, we can handle these stooges." Harry assured.

"We'd say 'kick their butts', but I'm in less of a mood to hear that." Haylee said as they were still fused.

"Evidently, kicks to the gluteus maximus would result in only minimal damage, as they provide a thick, mushy barrier against any harmful physical roundabouts, and may thereby result in-"

"Why don't you think of a scientific process to make their pain WORSEN." Harry told Artie.

"Oooh, gladly."

"We do not take kindly to that tone of voice." Walt stated. "While our mother is busy, we'll take it upon ourselves to settle this like mature adults, and kick the crap out of you!"

Haylee gulped. "I just remembered another reason we have to fix this fast!"

Meanwhile, the door to Mom's computer room was locked, but Dillon and Vanel easily got under using a Shadow Veil. "HALT!" yelled one of two Killbots that were guarding the large computer. "By order of Mom, no one shall pass, and anyone attempting to breach must prepare to take bombardment-"

"SOMEONE SAID 'PARTY ON THE BEACH'!!" the other said as it blasted its ally. "Oh no! My hearing sensors are all wonky again! Mom will kill me! I better save her the trouble!" With that, he shot himself.

Dillon and Vanellope shrugged as the Program girl hurried to the computer and digitized herself inside.

With Bender

The robot quickly dodged Mom's spear slashes before stretching a fist behind and bringing it back to hit Mom's head. However, the woman dodged the punch and caused Bender to hit himself, knocking the eyes out of his sockets. He bent down and searched the ground for his eyes while Mom smirked and attempted to charge from behind. She sped at him for a headbutt, but the dome of her armor came in contact with his shiny metal ass, stopping her completely as pain surged through her head. The edges of her glassless covering broke off as she floated back dizzily.

"Ahh, there we go!" said Bender after getting his eyes back on. "Now back to kicking some fleshy human ass!" Mom growled in anger and continued to throw electric spheres, but Bender dodged and made his way to her, throwing punches at her chest. He then grabbed her by the waist and caught her legs between his, and the two somersaulted in midair before Bender pinned her right leg under his feet. He then stretched his left arm far back and brought it back for a forceful punch to her face, and as she was blown back, the armor on her right leg was forced off with Bender still pinning it.

Mom tried to regain composure with only her left leg hovering, but managed to as she flew over to swing her exposed leg at Bender. The robot grabbed her leg, but Mom just swung her left spear-leg at Bender's legs to knock him down. With that, she stuck her arm-spears through him to pick him up, grinning evilly as she spun around and around before sending him flying several meters.

MomCorp Computer Network

Vanellope landed in the computer network as a swarm of virtual Killbots already rolled up to eliminate her. "Zoni." She turned around and smiled when the Zoni appeared by her side. The mysterious beings began launching energy spheres at the robots while Vanellope glitched through and dodged past them fast as light. She also found a few mini satellites that launched waves into the air, and Vanellope began to kick and smash all of them.

Back with Bender

The robot grabbed Mom by the shoulder blades and spun around before throwing her away. She recovered and gritted her teeth, but suddenly felt her waist armor begin to come loose. "Hey! What the Snap, Crackle, Crap is this doing?!"

"Well, well." remarked Bender, folding his arms. "Seems the armor's taking a few tips from me. Let me kick it into PLACE!" He swung his stretched left leg and kicked Mom against the side, making the armor on her waist fall off. "Ha ha heeeee!"

"I'll kick YOU into place!" Mom declared as she flew over to swing her spear-leg at Bender, but he ducked and grabbed her legs before slamming her against the ground.

Upstairs; with Gilligans

"Harry, I said kick!" Haylee yelled.

"I DID kick!"

"Not your shoulder leg!"

"That's ARTIE'S leg!"

"LOOK OUT!" They were too late to dodge when Walt zipped over and kicked the Triplets away.

"These Siamese twins seem a little disorganized." Walt smirked.

"Their brains must be mushed together!" Larry followed.

"Good thing MY daddy was a scientist!" Igner replied.

"Ugh, this isn't getting us anywhere." Haylee huffed. "It's basically three against one. And my FACE is taking all the kickings!"

"If I may interject, let us take a few moments to grip ourselves and slowly let our senses become one. Even as one grotesquely fused being, we may have the strength of three should we stop with the senseless bickering and know that our petty differences mean nothing in the grand scheme of-"

"Look, that isn't quite the issue here," Harry interrupted Artie, "the problem is we don't know where our respective limbs are."

"Heheh! Even WE'RE smart enough to know where OUR limbs are!" Igner laughed.

"For as 3, we are a formidable adversary." Walt said. "Give them a wet willy, Larry."

The sandy-blonde son got spit on his finger and went to stick it in one of the Gilligans' six ears. "AHH! Hey, that's mine!" Haylee flinched.

MomCorp Network

Vanellope had taken out a good portion of satellites, but her body began to sizzle greatly as she panted. "Oww- w-w-w-w-w-w-w. Man, these wavelengths really are kinda painful."

"Let us retreat, and fix." The Zoni told her.

"No- o-o." She glitched. "We're not leaving 'til we take this wi-i-itch down. Now let's go!" She ran ahead as the Zoni followed.

She soon made it to the main control center within the network, where a large terminal displayed a silhouette of Mom's body releasing the frequencies. "There's the main control! Let's shut this witch down!" But before they had a chance, a giant holographic head of Mom blocked her way.

"Not so fast! No crapsack of a virus is getting their hands on ME!"

"Says you- ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou!" She jumped to throw a kick at the head, but her body sparkled even worse when her foot came in contact, and the Momhead pushed her back.

"Mwah ha ha hah! I was programmed with virus-destroying insta-kill hitboxes! You try that again and you'll be derezzed in a millisecond! Too bad I won't give you the CHANCE!" And with that, Momhead began to shock Vanellope with a powerful laser, slowly absorbing her pixels inside.

"Vanellope!" Dillon exclaimed with worry, watching this from outside the screen. The Zoni tried to fly up and shock the entity, but Momhead was strong enough to blow them back.

With Bender

Mom launched at Bender again, who grabbed her by the hand-spears and struggled to hold her back. "Nnnnnn-eeeeeeee!" With all his strength, he bent the spears upward. "Haaaa ha ha haaaa!"

"Grrrrr!" Mom simply caught his neck in her bent-up spear-hands and began to strangle him.

"Hiiiick- ….aaaauuuuuck!"

With Vanellope

The glitchy girl was unable to break away from Momhead's grasp, and in just seconds, the last of her pixels were swallowed by the floating head. Dillon's eyes trembled, and he couldn't have been more eager. Vanellope… she's been derezzed. So… is she really…

"HAAA HA ha ha! Be it the human world or digital world, there is NO place in the world for faulty Programs! Bzzzzzzz- hey- zzzzzzzz- what the-?" Momhead's body began to sizzle uncontrollably.

"Will she be okay?" Dillon asked after Sollyx came back.

"She will last through the battle that's to come. But her pixels will disapparate eventually. Whether they are destroyed or vanish naturally."

"Well… I appreciate you for helping."

"Don't appreciate me, yet! I managed to locate her coding structure and made a few altercations!"

"What do you mean?"

"I implanted a minor, but contagious virus into her network, which contains an exact copy of her own programming, including personality, memory, etc.! If her body is destroyed, this virus will flow into the nearest machine and overtake it, becoming Vanellope's temporary vessel. And if she's in the virtual world, the virus will also spread to the nearest Program and reshape its body. That Program's pixels will become hers, and its own memory banks will be scattered within her own."

"You… Does that mean-?"

"Vanellope's own pixels will die, but her soul will live on in the pixels of another. Of course, whatever programming that Program has, I can't imagine things will function too well with Vanellope's virus."

"NOOOOOOOO!" The Momhead's pixels distorted until she was nothing, and they reshaped and recolored to make a brand new Vanellope.

"Ooooooooh!" The Zoni stared with amazement.

"Whoa! I coulda sworn I was just eaten alive by some old lady's head!" Vanellope said as she floated in midair, surrounded by light. "Time to BREAK some waves!" She became a whipping beam of light as she began going in and out of parts of the walls, causing the huge computer and the whole system to glitch up.

Outside

Dillon watched as the computer suddenly turned to static. "Vanellope? Vanellope?! What's going on, are you okay?!"

But his worried look was replaced with a bright smile when Vanellope's enormous image made itself known. "I smell like old lady breath, but everything's A-okay!"

"Ha ha ha!…" He was always happy to see her vibrant smile.

With Bender

Mom continued to strangle him, and grinned as she saw his head was close to snapping off. Mom tugged forcefully on her lances, but her mouth dropped when the spears slipped right off her hands. Seconds after, the rest of her armor fell off her body. Bender smirked deviously as he recovered, and without hesitating, he PUNCHED Mom square in the face and flung her across the room.

"Seems the tables have TURNED on this little squabble."

"The TABLES only turn when I tell them to! And as soon as I fix my satellites, that's the FIRST thing that's gonna happen!"

"Not unless they're doing it on their own! But if that's how it is, how 'bout I TURN the direction of your BACK side?"

"I'm not through with you YET, Junkbot." Mom declared, standing up. "I still have an ACE up my sleeve!" She pulled a remote control out from her sleeve and pushed it. Bender gasped when a silver Iron Man-like robot flew down to her, opening its body as she put it on like a suit. She flew at him on jetshoes, and the two began to struggle against the other.

With Gilligans

"Okay, I think I'm getting a grip here." Haylee said. "My left arm's on the right shoulder." She waved it.

"And mine's on the right." Harry waved his.

"Both of mine are in the chest and back." Artie said.

"My right leg and arm on the sides of the head." Haylee said.

"A'ight, let's just go for it." Harry decided.

"Okay, Larry, Igner: from all sides!" Walt announced as the boys ran at the Triplets from all directions.

"Haylee, right arm, Artie, left arm!" Harry ordered. The siblings punched those limbs, while Harry kicked his left leg, and knocked a son back. "Get ready, guys!" When the boys recovered, Harry began to run around as they punched them, the Triplets having gotten the hang of their limbs' locations. The boys chased the fused triplets in a single-file line, but they leapt high over the adults and made them bump each other when Walt stopped.

"Larry, you were supposed to GRAB them if they jumped!" Walt said, smacking Larry.

"YOU were blocking me!" Larry smacked back.

"They were ABOVE you, not in front!" Walt threw a smack, but Larry ducked and Igner was hit.

"Hey!" Igner tried to smack Walt, but Larry got up and took the hit. The Gilligan Triplets only stood and watched as the boys began to beat each other.

Back to Bender

Bender stretched, grabbed Mom by the shoulders, and slingshot-flung at her while she ducked. He was still holding her as he flew high backward, and he shot back down with his legs ready to wrap her. However, Mom merely dodged and SLICED Bender's left leg with an electric blade extracted from her suit's right arm. "OWWW!" Bender got back on his remaining leg before pressing his hands against the floor to hold him up while he stretched his leg out and attempted to kick Mom. However, the woman grabbed his leg and yanked him over, slicing him straight up his underside, from the back to front. With that, Mom SLICED off the right leg and ripped his arms off before throwing him meters up in the air. She shot up and dealt a series of slashes with her electric blades. She then kicked him straight down for a forceful slam on the ground as many bolts came loose.

Mom charged her jetshoes and shot down faster than Bender could notice, dealing a momentous punch on his cheek and forcing several teeth to shoot out. Mom flew back as Bender weakly recovered, standing on his rear like a punching doll. He bounced over to slip his right arm on, then stretched over to get his left arm. But he still didn't have a chance to fight when Mom shot like a rocket and began shoving him against the wall.

"Well, look at the oh-so great Bender Rodríguez NOW!" She punched him in the cheek and knocked out more bolts.

"OHHhhhhhh." Bender never looked so weak.

"Where's your immense robot strength now??" Another punch. "If you were taking orders from ME, you might actually lack the will to go ON! But now look at yourself, WORSE than you would be in the junkheap! And all because you decided to help those worthless kids." 'nother punch. "After I'm done tearing you to shreds, those snots will forget all about you! They'll probably want to buy a NEW robot to replace you! And I will gladly, after I SMASH you against the wall and melt what remains of your metal into fresh NEW material!" (End song.)

"Uwuuu-u-u-u-h-h. Do you want to know… why I joined those worthless kids? …" Bender moaned as he continued to struggle.

"Hmm?" Mom cocked a brow.

"I joined them… with a simple dream. A dream… of killing all humans. And since I was created… that's all I ever thought of. But you were… the only human I remotely cared about. If there was another reason I killed humans, besides showing that I'm great, Bender… it was so you would be proud of your little Bendy-Boo for what he's accomplished. But then…"

Five years ago, when Bender worked for Planet Express Delivery Company. He met so many friends, who he's shared many good times with. When he and Fry were running a magic show and getting drunk on beer. When he learned he was defective, and he and Hermes set out to find the inspector who falsely approved him. And just recently, when Nebula and Vweeb saved him from the junkyard. He remembered bending down bars for them, letting them cross his back over a long jump… but he especially remembered becoming the pharaoh and enslaving them. In a short amount of time, he's had such memorable adventures with them.

"It was NEVER my charm or skill with bending that mattered to you!" Bender continued as tears dropped. "Nothing about me mattered, if I had a will! But I met friends… who loved me for my greatness! They knew… that I was better than them… and they admired me for it. And now, every time I proclaim I'm going to kill all humans…" He sniffled. "I'll ALWAYS mumble… except THOSE guys!" Sniffle.

Mom only looked arrogantly as he spoke. "So in the end… who's the REAL heartless mechanical monster made of 40% Alumitanium here?" Bender mustered whatever strength he had, stretched his arms behind Mom, crossed their paths as one grabbed Mom's shoulder, and the other got her leg. "Nnnnnot… I!" Mom suddenly struggled to hold him in place as the powerful robot began to bend her silver suit backward. "NNNNNOT… IIIIIIIII!"

Mom was unable to push as the robot's strength was prevailing. Bender pulled harder and harder… until Mom's back snapped in a perfect angle. Her metal suit cracked and fell into pieces as the elderly woman was struck senseless. Her eyes and mouth hung wide open as blood leaked from her mouth. Bender threw her to the floor, grabbing his legs and antenna and letting her lay like a human boomerang. "And let this be known… to all humans… who treat others like scrap. Especially me. Bender."

Upstairs

Vanellope materialized beside Dillon and began to recap excitedly, "Didja SEE it, Dillon? I was about to TEAR that old computer down, but then the old lady's head came outta nowhere and swallowed me! But then I POISONED her gut from inside and turned her to yesterday's week-old chocolate!"

"Good work, Vanel!"

"These new pixels are gonna take some adjusting, though." Vanel said as she tugged her sweater, making a slight glitch. "I've never felt so old."

"Well frankly, I don't care whose pixels they are. As long as they shape like you." Dillon smiled, touching her shoulder.

"Ahhh, you're such a lameazoid, Dillon." Glitch.

The two walked outside and- "Whoa!" saw the Gilligan Siamese Triplets standing victoriously beside Mom's sons, tied together by rope.

"The day is saved!" announced Haylee.

"Thanks tooooo:" continued Artie.

"THE GILLIGAMALGAMATION!" cheered them all.

"Be us fused or apart, NOTHING can beat us!" cheered Haylee.

"Even though they essentially beat their selves in the end." Artie reminded.

"Ehhh, rewarding enough." Harry shrugged.

"You guys really know how to stand as one." Dillon remarked while Vanellope smirked and shook her head. "Come on, let's grab Bender and meet back with the others." The five hurried off and left the three sons tied.

"Guys? I have to go to the bathroom." Larry said.

"I already went!" replied Igner.

"Oh, Mother…" Walt moaned.

Galactic Council H.Q.; Tachyon's Office

From the clear, stainless windows of Tachyon's office, the heartless conqueror ravished in the sight of bright flames and smoke rising to the clouds. "Ummm, maybe this is a bit much." Pollyx said cowardly. "You know if you destroy your own city, you have no one to rule over."

"A good conqueror must strike as MUCH fear as possible, in order to ensure no rebellion."

"Emmm, but those kids are on their way here, and they might have a chance at-"
