Well, it kind of looks like I'll have too now, as this thread is losing interest.

It was then that Beethro realized the robot resembled someone he knew. It was...

"Cousin Branthro?" Beethro suddenly sat bolt upright. "Is that you, Branthro? What happened?"

"It's a long story," said Branthro. He looked just like the robots that belonged to the goblins, except that his head was unchanged apart it being gray, and he had more gadgets than the other robots.

"So why are you a robot? And how did I get back here in one piece?" Beethro asked.

"Well," said Branthro, "First, some tester backup squad robots and I followed you after you cleared the first room. When I saw you were poisoned, I sent the robots to help. I saw you collapsing after the robots were gone, so I quickly rushed over to the antidote bottle, emptied it down your throat, and stretched my arms to the three untouched switches to remove the last three dart-throwers. Then I talked the supergoblin watching the test into letting me bring you in here to help you get some rest."

"Thanks," said Beethro. "But how did you get in here and become a robot?"

"Well, this morning, I decided to get some fresh air, and went into a forest. Then I could hear some strange machine sound, so headed in its direction and fell right through a trapdoor, then I went unconscious. The next thing I knew, I'd become a robot, and some supergoblins were telling me to lead some backup robots. They told me you were testing and I should be there with the robots to help you if needed. So I lead the robots into the testing area, and sent them to help when you were poisoned. It was a bit stubborn of them to give you the pink tissue at the time, though," Branthro explained.

"Wow, my brain hurts. Anyway, thanks again for helping me, Branthro," said Beethro "Without pink tissue," he added with a snicker.

"I'll explain more later, Beethro. As soon as your done with the test, I tell you what happened with more detail," said Branthro.

"By the way, nice to see you again," said Beethro, grabbing his sword. "Alright. Time to get to the bottom of all this."

"Right," said Branthro as both of them left the the rest room and proceeded to the next part of the test.

Branthro and Beethro entered the next room. Inside it were giant green creatures flying in the air out of sword range. They surrounded the entrance and started ejecting supergoblins out of little hand-held devices.

The supergoblins charged and attacked from all directions.

Just before the supergoblins hit, they suddenly stopped moving. Beethro and Branthro could hear the watching supergoblin talking.

"Before you supergoblins attack, I must tell you that the lead robot could come handy in this test. Tester, since both you and the robot are surrounded by supergoblins, I like to test you to see how well you can fight off supermonsters while protecting someone else. Supergoblins, tie the robot to the wall, then go back to your places," said the supergoblin up top.

The supergoblins grabbed Branthro, pushed him against the wall right next to the room entrance, grabbed a rope from within a compartment on him, punched holes in wall to put the rope through, and tied him to the wall. Beethro stepped out in front of Branthro, and held out his sword, ready to start testing in the room.

I submit the idea that we begin a new story, with things we know about the Eighth now, as well. This one's kinda...died out.

Hell, I won't be able to participate because I know too much. I'd end up spoiling it.

Cool. I suggest starting it in a new topic so that people can find the beginning of it easily. If you start it off, I pledge to write at least a couple addendums.

I'm reviving this old thread to allow it to join with the new continuation of it in "Reconstruct The Story"

The supergoblins grabbed Branthro, pushed him against the wall right next to the room entrance, grabbed a rope from within a compartment on him, punched holes in wall to put the rope through, and tied him to the wall. Beethro stepped out in front of Branthro, and held out his sword, ready to start testing in the room.

The room began to glow with a light as the laser pointer began its movements and materialisation of the monsters. However, the light showed up something in the wall to his right. A small discolouration and some fine lines - after spending so long in deep dungeons, Beethro recognised it instantly - it was a crumbly wall!

Beethro whispered quickly to Branthro that he was going to cut the rope, and that they were going to try to escape through the passage, but a cursory glance backward revealed to Beethro that he was tied up in a metal rope, which Beethro could not cut quickly enough to escape. Branthro said quietly, "You go on - I'll be fine. There's no way you can free me in time to escape."

The monsters were almost complete; Beethro had only a few seconds to decide the course of action to take. He knew that he was the target and not Branthro, so he decided to take the risk that he would be pursued on escaping, and Branthro would be ignored. Turning suddenly, he ran for the wall and ploughed his sword into it. It crumbled, revealing a passage leading off into the darkness. Behind him, the supergoblins were yelling orders, and were running after him, but Beethro was now half-way down the passage, running for his life. At the end of the passage, he tripped over something on the floor. A switch activated and the chamber he was in was flooded with light. The door he had run through without knowing slammed shut, trapping him in a small capsule-like room, and a deafening noise filled Beethro's ears. As Beethro's sight began to fail, he let out one last yell in the hope someone would hear him, and just as his consciousness failed, he felt a peculiar sense of dislocation sweep over him, just as if he was being transported far away in almost no time at all. Beethro fell, unconscious.

When Beethro awoke, he found himself confronted by ten men covered head to toe in black pajamas. He was about to say something, almost overcome with a sense of "what the?" when he also noticed one person covered head to toe in white pajamas.

"Well," thought Beethro in double quotes, "this changes things slightly." With one mighty swing of his sword, the ten black-clad men fell, leaving only the white-pajamad man for him to deal with.

"You're not another one of those supergoblins, are you?" asked Beethro...

Ummm... I'm so sorry. To stop huge multiple story problems, please continue the story in the "Re-construct The Story" thread, where I've tried to join the two stories back together again.
