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.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAfEuphiA0Ix
Can we at least imagine what’s in it!?” Pleads copper
“FINE!” Iron _
438Please respect copyright.PENANA34lN6vnFXE
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…
438Please respect copyright.PENANAiPSx9szVrr
“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.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAKiqS8lPX6l
“Ugh! Fine…” Said iron.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAfjY9Ydgl2y
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?”
438Please respect copyright.PENANAI9XldpzPrp
Iron then looked in the box, ignoring copper calling him a hypocrite for shaming him, and saw… that the box was empty.
438Please respect copyright.PENANABgfdimc0Fj
Iron slowly turned his head towards copper. “Iron?” Asked copper, “Why does your face look like that?”
438Please respect copyright.PENANAzk7UwdtLY4
“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]
438Please respect copyright.PENANAh84y6XUGhB
They both froze, and Copper asked him what it was. Iron hushed him, pressing his finger on Coppers non-existent lips.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAHlZlhXORtH
“I think we have to pick up the pace…” whispers Iron.
438Please respect copyright.PENANA6fmIlESbD2
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!
438Please respect copyright.PENANAr9Udp7ZizC
The hunter was onto them, peeking through the rubble and shrapnel, shooting its gun like they were sitting ducks.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAKHT7cweN11
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.
438Please respect copyright.PENANA4b29a4drMD
The hunter revealed itself. Xenon was the sniper.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAfE9TFXDFEK
“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.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAWw0pKtJckM
Xenon decapitated both of them. Xenon was a lance-corporal.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAoHbTAceMLp
Iron and Copper reallotropy/reallotropismed, and had felt like they had a hangover, after drinking seventeen litres of moonshine.
438Please respect copyright.PENANATUvYEv48HC
They look at each other in embarrassment
438Please respect copyright.PENANAY8ilDS2jP6
“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.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAVbTNaKVYGw
“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.
438Please respect copyright.PENANABWFkSlhkG7
“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.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAcqx2ezFok7
They then get on the rusty, lichen-ridden tracks and continue.
438Please respect copyright.PENANA3yXCu044Fe
Once they were in, there was no sign of Xenon; but what they found instead was a creature crawling out of the rubble.
438Please respect copyright.PENANA5luwtERKeN
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.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAcuStXdc81S
“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.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAqKX2bt885E
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.
438Please respect copyright.PENANANxs0uZMTBy
“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.
438Please respect copyright.PENANA68beChph1f
“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.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAFoKKb4B3zc
They then decided to put it in the box, because they figured thats where its origins were, and also for safe-keeping.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAgqZGhOAHFJ
Then Xenon throws a machete at them like a boomerang and they both scream and make a b-line to Xenon.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAXY8yaroZmb
Xenon thought they were just stupid and made a b-line to Iron & Copper. Then they both electrocuted him, and he fizzled into nothingness…
438Please respect copyright.PENANA6Hwm0iU6vi
“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.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAgK7X2FfeKK
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.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAo94uIL3tzc
Lead thanked them, and he snached the box out of Irons hands, emptying the creature they put inside.
438Please respect copyright.PENANAPXr3m5mTSq
“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.”
438Please respect copyright.PENANA35t7Z9dSVG
“Oh…” They both go.
