Ting, clank and ping. Those were the footsteps of Iron and copper, travelling along the discarded railway used for a monorail. They were delivering a message, from general Aluminium, to general Lead.
They were going through there because they thought it was the best way to bring it to them without any opponents watching them. This civilisation has monorails for bringing secret boxes, but seeing as the one they normally use was broken, and will take a while to rebuild. So they have to take it.

They were getting ever closer to the low-maintenance restricted area. The more they walked to the left, the more lichen & rust was growing… that’s how they knew they were getting closer.

- Should Copper act like this?[START OF SUGGESTION]
“What do you think is in it?” Asks Copper.
“That’s a good question…” says Iron.
“Should we look inside?” Copper replied.
“I don’t think that’s a good idea, there could be some serious top secret stuff!!” Heeded Iron.
“Like what?” Copper asked intriguingly.
“How should I know! It’s top secret!!” Exclaimed Iron.
“Jeez man! Calm down…” copper said with an eased face, pushing his hands to and fro towards him.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAxx98rjxtmP
Can we at least imagine what’s in it!?” Pleads copper
“FINE!” Iron _
590Please respect copyright.PENANAsEDvgMU8TE
Copper was imagining, that maybe it was gear for the team, with a built-in back massager, and butt warmer.
Iron on the other hand, wanted a multi-use weapon, much like a bayonet, because all they have is a pistol and butterfly knife…
590Please respect copyright.PENANARU3ewMaug4
“Hey Iron.” Copper said
“What?” Iron asked
“Look over there!” he yelled, pointing in the direction that’s opposite to the box.
Iron, fed up said, “I’m not turning around… I know your just going to take whatever’s in the box…”
“No, no, no! I’m not!” Cried copper, “Please! Please! PLEASE! Turn around!” He cried, with his knees on the ground, and his fingers interlocking each other.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAEQkqNix8n9
“Ugh! Fine…” Said iron.
590Please respect copyright.PENANA8PWDL8VaAE
He made the slightest head turn to the left, and immediately felt that something was wrong. Iron looked suspicious of Copper. He then asked copper what he did, which copper then replied with: “what are you talking about? You only made a very small head turn to the left?”
590Please respect copyright.PENANAeJM2VQyzNw
Iron then looked in the box, ignoring copper calling him a hypocrite for shaming him, and saw… that the box was empty.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAlkPhXdgoaI
Iron slowly turned his head towards copper. “Iron?” Asked copper, “Why does your face look like that?”
590Please respect copyright.PENANAPBsR5gArX3
“You…” blamed Iron, “YoU!!!” He yelled.
“What about me!?” Copper hurrily asked.
“You took whatever was in there, DIDN’T YOU!” He exclaimed in great anger.
“No I DIDN’T! You have had the box the whole time!!” Copper defended.
“LIES!” He yelled, with his body overshadowing him.
“Don’t blame me!” Yelled Copper “How am I suppose to know that you didn’t steal it!”
“WELL I-“ lashed Iron, before he was interrupted by a gun shot.
- Should Copper act like this?[END OF SUGGESTION]
590Please respect copyright.PENANAxR6eajkZSx
They both froze, and Copper asked him what it was. Iron hushed him, pressing his finger on Coppers non-existent lips.
590Please respect copyright.PENANA274OOd3y1b
“I think we have to pick up the pace…” whispers Iron.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAriIac7tfod
Pew! Pew! Pew! Went a sniper-rifle, as Iron & Copper ran for their dear lives, with their feet clanking on the diamond-edged floor, and stepping on the spreaded dirt to their destination!
590Please respect copyright.PENANAEeGbzAIGHU
The hunter was onto them, peeking through the rubble and shrapnel, shooting its gun like they were sitting ducks.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAOCXLt96Eof
Swoosh, swoosh, went a machete heading towards their necks. Up until they ducked, with the machete hitting the metal behind them. The machete was stuck on the wall, and Iron took the opportunity to grab it.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAERbf9GuVdW
The hunter revealed itself. Xenon was the sniper.
590Please respect copyright.PENANA2duWfmsiYp
“You snitch! We were in the middle of something!” Screeched Iron to the hunters face, right before Xenon snatched the machete off of Irons palms, by grabbing the blade and forcefully yanking it.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAos2xMuuhz0
Xenon decapitated both of them. Xenon was a lance-corporal.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAjIISIjrN5Z
Iron and Copper reallotropy/reallotropismed, and had felt like they had a hangover, after drinking seventeen litres of moonshine.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6u1PhoO6i
They look at each other in embarrassment
590Please respect copyright.PENANAAdrastPzyT
“It’s gonna be a looong way back…” says Copper shruggingly
“What about the box” Iron both reminds & asks.
“sigh”, Copper says in tiredness & despondency.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAdlhCRI5sPp
“Back so quick!?” Aluminium exclaimed, walking up to their assigned Reallotropy/Reallotropism Anchors. The Reallotropy/Reallotropism Anchors look like capsules which they spawn in after they die.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAMFllFEgqrj
“Well yeah, we died!” Said Iron shruggingly.
“Well then, get out there! You have a box to deliver, remember!?” He shouted, pointing his finger to the discarded monorail.
“I just sai- never mind…” said Iron.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAvq2khFwy6o
They then get on the rusty, lichen-ridden tracks and continue.
590Please respect copyright.PENANA23X0w6Kiul
Once they were in, there was no sign of Xenon; but what they found instead was a creature crawling out of the rubble.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAbSTpolHtT3
It was turquoise, had a long body, a thin, long tail, with a bulb at the tip. It has two floppy antennas which also have bulbs. It glowed.
590Please respect copyright.PENANATcZqIoCqNk
“What is that thing?” Bewildered Iron
Copper, completely ignoring him, started “ooo”ing and “aww”ing at it, while also being really affectionate towards it.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAdzJk3D3TSH
Copper started playing with it, and picked it up, Iron said that he probably shouldn’t be playing with it and that it could be dangerous.
Just after he said that, Copper got electrocuted by it.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAast12KbjdL
“Ljheadkhdhahwgd” Copper said tipsy.
Iron said “See, I told you.”, and
“NoOo… I’m PeRfEcTlY fInE…” Copper said, then him trying to pat Iron on the shoulder.
“Whoa, I don’t want you anywhere near me!” He said “I don’t wanna get tipsy to-“ he then got charged by copper touching him, he then realised that he could use this electric power to hurt Xenon.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAve9svSs9GS
“Wait! So were both metalic right?” Points Iron “We could use the energy we hold to harmXenon!” he says in joy.
“All thanks to this lil guy!” he says while rubbing its head, while copper is holding it like a baby.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAS1BoPG8cnA
They then decided to put it in the box, because they figured thats where its origins were, and also for safe-keeping.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAv5vwMnqp0I
Then Xenon throws a machete at them like a boomerang and they both scream and make a b-line to Xenon.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAv1BRuODmgj
Xenon thought they were just stupid and made a b-line to Iron & Copper. Then they both electrocuted him, and he fizzled into nothingness…
590Please respect copyright.PENANA4z7NrBWETU
“Phew!” Said Copper, now let's book it to the exit. As they ran through a gap in a wall, and up a broken flight of stairs, with them being 7/8ths of the way up.
They went through a long corridor, booking it to Lead, hoping they would get there in time before Xenon would reallotropy/reallotropism again.
They took a right turn through a doorway, only to find Lead playing with his guns as figurines.
590Please respect copyright.PENANARPYGU1s1mP
Iron screeched to a halt and iron asked in confusion “ummm… what are you doing?”
Lead being embarrassed about what he revealed, he then ignored the question and asked, “Did you bring the box?” In a raspy voice.
“Yes we did!” Spoke Iron in a formal voice.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAc71TZnrH5G
Lead thanked them, and he snached the box out of Irons hands, emptying the creature they put inside.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAIg5Z30qA9I
“Umm…Lead?” Says Copper.
“What is it sargeant?!” Lead rapidly asks, springing up.
“Don’t you want the creature?” He asks.
Lead answers, “No, just box.”
590Please respect copyright.PENANAFjP4upyILj
“Oh…” They both go.
