[Chapter 2-12 start]

Have you given up on being relevant, yet? You'll be back, don't worry. Instead, you should worry about the giant robot attacking the city.

Yep, you read that right. There's a giant robot stomping around in the middle of the city. How rude! And it's not one of those car-sized ones either. This is the kind that could fight a kaiju and win. It's not knocking down buildings or trying to kill large amounts of people. Most it's doing is throwing cars but it seems to be avoiding hurting innocents. Upon closer examination, there's actually someone piloting the robot, but you don't know who because you're not there.

There are a few people who aren't running. Out of those people you recognize Red and Blue. It's worth noting that Green is also there. He's trying to run but Blue has dragged him back to the scene. "Quit being a coward, already and help us!" Blue says pulling him by the arm.

"Let me go!" Green is trying to pry Blue's fingers from his arm. "This has nothing to do with me!"

"Are you kidding? Ever since we got here that thing has been targeting-" Blue is interrupted by a car falling from the sky, nearly hitting Red. Oh, yeah. The robot is avoiding hurting innocents, but there is no context in which you could call Red innocent.

Red recovers from her near hit, flips the robot the bird, and pulls out a bazooka. Blue and Green watch as she fires it and misses. The robot then lifted it's arm, ready to return fire with a similar attack. It was probably going to shoot a missile out of it's hand or maybe shoot the hand itself; you've seen movies. However, before it does, a wheel hits it. The giant enemy robot is confused. It looks over to see that Blue has pulled a wheel off of one of the busted cars and thrown it at the robot. This got its attention. Blue always did like attention.

He called out to the robot, making sure it was fully distracted. He quickly glanced over at Green only to find that Green had run to hide elsewhere. This makes Blue a bit angry. The clearly human operated robot picked up another car and threw it. Blue dodged it dramatically.

Meanwhile, Green was standing in a crowd of other onlookers. They are in the middle of the city afterall and blending in is the key to a good hiding spot. Despite what you might think, the crowd isn't really all that scared. Some are filming, some are calling their car insurance company, and the others are just enjoying the excuse to skip work on this fine Tuesday afternoon.

But, the battle doesn't last much longer before the robot takes some sort of explosion to the back. It goes down, destroying more cars in the process.

"Yeah!" Blue yelled triumphantly. Because that's what you say after defeating a menace against the city's roadway safety. Blue is still as predictable as always. Anyways, he looks over at Red and continues shouting, "Good job! We really showed that thing who's boss!"

Red looks forward with a dazed expression and says, "That wasn't me."

The smoke starts to fade as the rubble settles onto the broken asphalt below. A figure can be seen emerging. A man with a mission. An entity that carries a suspicious air about him. A "robber" that has yet to pay up on his half of the deal. Yep. It's Orange. He's here.

Orange walks around in the rubble. He seems to be looking for something. Green walks to join Blue who promptly hits him upside the head for ditching him. Blue then starts walking towards Orange. "Who exactly are you?" he asks. Orange ignores him. This makes Blue a bit angry. Blue always did like attention. This wasn't attention.

A large piece of metal shifts slightly before being shoved out of the way, revealing the pilot of the now long lost giant robot. It was none other than Pink. Orange lifts Pink out of the rubble by the collar of his shirt. Real jerk move, one only done in movies to look cool.

"Who are these people?" Blue exclaimes. He's getting more confused by the second.

"A burglar and a bitch," Red says nonchalantly.

"Actually," Orange corrects her, "we're a liar and a henchman."

"Oh, telemarketers," Green says. Everyone ignores him.

Another voice comes from the debris. It's staticy. "Jack? Are you there? Come in, Jack!" Red rummages around and finds a slightly beaten up walkie talkie. Orange holds out his hand and Red hands it to him. Pink looks like he's given up on life.

Orange takes the walkie talkie and speaks to whoever it is on the other side. He says, "Evil scientist! I have foiled your plans yet again! Face me man to man, once and for all!"

"Uh, no," the walkie talkie speaks. "I don't think I'll be doing that."

"That's because you know I'll win."

"And?"

"It's inevitable! Just let it happen."

"No."

"You'll keep sending robots and I'll keep destroying them. It's not worth it in the long run." There's a pause. "Hello?"

"Goodbye."

Orange continues to yell into the walkie talkie but gets no more replies. It isn't until he's done yelling that he realizes Pink had gotten away. He asks the RGB trio but apparently they had all simultaneously blinked! Darn!

"Can somebody please explain what just happened? And who exactly are you??" Blue asked. Green nodded in shared confusion.

"Don't worry about it. All you need to know right now is that I'm here to help," Orange said.

"Help with what exactly?" Red asked. She wasn't sure what he was after.

"Finding your friend?"

"Julie's at work."

"No, the other one. Yellow."

The faces of your friends light up with realization. They didn't know you were gone. At all. No clue. Terrible friends. Simply awful.
