Astro Boy Page #5

Is everything okay?

- Sometimes it's interesting to know...

If they've noticed that

I've left?

Who?

- My parents.

Parents?

- Exactly!

Now you know the truth.

What are you waiting for?

Go tell the others,

...that Cora is trying

to call home.

To find her nanny's address.

Everyone has secrets.

I won't tell anynody.

You can trust me.

I know.

You're a good guy, Astro.

Can... can I tell you something?

My secret.

- Sure.

That's what friends are for, right?

Do you ever feel like,

you just don't fit?

Like you're different to

everbody else?

Kind of an outsider.

Of course, everyone feels

like that sometimes.

Well, the last few days

have been different for me.

I mean, being with all you guys

and Ham Egg.

The thing I need to

tell you is, I'm a...

I'm kind of a...

I'm a...

- Yeah?

I'm a... really starting to like it

here with you.

With you guys.

- Yeah?

Well, we like you too, Astro.

Hey, Trash Can.

I know, it's not

the same thing...

...but isn't Ham Egg

sorta like our dad now?

Yeah, I guess.

Robot Revolutionary Front...

...transform!

He knocked me.

Which part of being a ninja

that you didn't understand?

What's a ninja?

Bring out the secret weapon.

I've been looking for that.

Yeah!

Viva la robot revolution!

Today is the day,

we've all been waiting for.

Give them a hand, folks.

The kid in the red boots.

He's the one who got this

killing machine up and running.

Look at him... Ham Egg!

You're a golden child.

Ham Egg really likes you.

I like him too.

What's he mean by

"Killing Machine"?

Well, the robots fights

until one of them is destroyed.

What?

- Don't worry.

Zog is gonna crush them all.

That's what happens

at the Robot Games?

Then what did you expect?

Rock, Paper, Scissors?

Who is the robot?

- I'm the robot!

Who is the robot?

- I'm the robot!

No mercy.

- No mercy!

No mercy!

No mercy!

Mercy?

- Nice knowing you, kid.

I thought it was a show,

not a slaughter.

They are just robots, son.

I thought you liked robots.

- I do.

But at the end of the day,

they're junk waiting to happen.

Huh?

- I know.

Some of those most

advanced robots from Metro City...

...programmed to smile

and laugh just like us.

Really?

- Oh, yeah.

Unfortunately, they don't have

real emotions.

Which is why I don't have

no problem doing this!

It works! I don't beleive it!

- What are you doing?

I stole this from

Dr. Tenma...

...after he fired me

from the Ministry of Science!

Oh, who cares?

Why did you do that to Astro?

He's our friend!

- I thought, I raised you well!

Are you blind?

He's a robot!

He is...

That's not true.

It can't be true!

Somebody programmed him

to be nice.

He's not really nice...

...he's just an incredibly

powerful machine.

But he was so...

- I know, sweetheart.

It's gonna be tough.

What are you gonna do with him?

- Take a wild guess.

Ladies and gentlemen!

Boys and girls!

And all you, tramps, walking in

without buying your tickets!

Allow me to present

Astro Boy!

I know... I know,

you're wondering...

...what a nice looking kid like that

doing in a place like this?

That ain't no kid, folks.

That's a robot!

From Metro City.

Get this, folks!

Astro personally told me...

...he doesn't think much

of our fighting robots.

Thanks to all,

bunch of sissies.

Thinks, they're all trailer butt trash.

He didn't say that.

He didn't say,

he was a robot either.

That is what

we've all been waiting for.

A fight between the surface

and Metro City!

Let's get it on!

I'm not fighting.

I'm not doing this.

Go, Astro!

Bring out the Little Stinker.

Wanna play with us?

Us?

- Yes, us!

Hey, fella!

I have a boom-boom!

Get him!

Get him! Get him!

Get him! Get him!

Stand back! We got a feather.

- What are you doing?

And we're not afraid to use it.

Am I spoken in haste?

Why fight, brothers?

A great robot once said...

Aah, my nose!

We've located Tenma's son, sir.

I win again.

And now, the final challenger!

A robot so fierce,

so powerful...

...even I'm afraid of him.

I give you... the mighty Zog!

Oh, no!

Let's see how Astro Boy

does aganist a robot...

...powered with same energy

he's got.

I'm not fighting you, Zog.

I mean it.

I won't fight.

Oh, no!

Great, I love you!

So big finale!

I said fight!

I won't fight.

Fight!

That's enough!

- What's the matter with you?

They are just machines,

they'll do what I tell them.

What?

I'm gonna get embarrassed...

...by some suited up hot shot

from Metro City?

A 100 years old bulldozer

from New Jersey?

I don't think so!

I'm turning your bolts off!

Stop!

The laws of robotics...

...you can't hurt a human.

It's been that way for 50 years.

I'm old school!

Look.

What kind of robot are you?

We failed to recruit

the big pirate!

What are they doing here?

Seize the robot

and secure the area.

Hey!

Zog, stop, stop!

Put them down.

Doesn't matter anymore.

Okay.

- Okay.

I'm sorry, I tried to tell you.

- Keep moving.

Trash Can, no!

Hey, get off me,

you dumb robot!

Get off!

It's okay, Trash Can.

President Stone's approval ratings

reached new low today...

...when he failed to show up for his

televised debate with Robert Logan.

The man, many have been thinking

as next President of Metro City.

No dime dirty hippie is

gonna sit in my Oval office...

...eat mung beans and

stinking of patchouli oil.

I've got the blue core.

My Peacemaker's gonna start

a war with the surface.

It's bound to get me re-elected.

Why the long-face, robot boy?

We're taking you home

to your dad.

Care for a drink?

Very funny, Mr. President.

The experiment is over.

I want the blue core removed

transferred into the Peacemaker, now!

Will you help me unplug him?

This is where we created him.

Well, "uncreate" him!

Unplug him!

It's a matter of national security.

Let me talk to him first.

Hello, Dr. Elefun.

- Hello, Toby.

Toby? Nobody has called me

that for a while.

This isn't your fault, you know?

You're fantastic.

Absolutely first class,

superb, wonderful.

Thank you.

You know, I tried to find

my place in the world.

I... I thought

I'd found it.

But I guess fitting in can be

a lot more complicated than it seems. huh?

Dear boy,

if you only knew...

I think maybe, this is

what supposed to happen.

This is my destiny.

Buhuhu.

It's a machine, come on,

let's get moving people.

This is wrong, Tenma,

you know it.

The President is right.

It's just a machine!

Goodbye, Dr. Elefun.

Load the blue core

into The Peacekeeper.

I got a press conference

scheduled in ten minutes.

I'm sorry.

Don't be.

I'm sorry, I couldn't have been

a better Toby for you...

...dad.

Well, Tenma.

Is it done?

It's done.

Good man.

When I'm re-elected,

you can have the funding...

...to make as many little toys

as you want.

No!

If you want the core,

you're gonna have to kill me.

Tenma!

- No! I created the core.

They're gonna have to kill me.

Well, I think Metro City can learn
