When will that be, anyway? Not that I’m pushing…Sorry.
Anxious? Hm hm hm.
looks up…Well…I’ll need to grab some files sometime later…but at a guess…less than five chapters probably two or three left. Of course also have to update the pics so…not too long.
AWSOME! I can’t wait! 
Editted by TSS: Limit the smileys please.
Very enthusastic…
Well pic update for now, next chapter will come very soon.
the pictures ate great. I’m getting ansy…laughs. I’ll contain myself.
Now for the big boss fight! I used some game mechanics here (some of which are detailed in the pic of Unbirth Auto in the fanart section) and tried to increase the length of the fight.
And also, a momumental surprised (especially for Auto fans. And heck, I’ve finished the story several months ago, I didn’t expect for Auto fans to be here 0_0) is at the end of this chapter.
Chapter 10 Directive
*
The Unbirth “crouched” on it’s two long crab-like-legs, and in a mechanical screech, the legs shot forward. It charged toward the party, who dodged to respective sides as it slowed. Sean and Vee ducked into a roll, getting to their feet almost instantly, running toward the mass of blue flesh and steel. Randall waited on all eights several feet away, using any technical knowhow to piece together the cobbled Unbirth’s form for weaknesses. Eve stayed near Wall-e, who was either feeling ready to go or “crashing” in the energy sense.
Sean and Vee jumped back when the Unbirth positioned it’s legs back again, picking up one, then the other, turning to face them. Auto, dangling from two thick tentacles, pulled forward, turning on his side and spinning, knocking his five extensions into Sean’s chest.
Vee ducked under, heading for one of the legs, full on fists. Thicker, darker flesh shelled the outside of the metal legs, but underneath the mass they were vunerable. But it didn’t seem to do much good when Vee started pounding on it. He was barely causing a dent before a stray tentacle above the base dropped and slashed at him with it’s blunt form and shards of metal pieces here and there. He was tossed backward, landing near wher Sean was holding onto Auto with both hands, the Keyblade on the ground beside him.
He heard an electronic wrr behind him, Eve he was certain, he looked to see Eve with her cannon open, motioning with her head for him to lean. He did, and Eve shot off a thin blast, which smacked into Auto’s red eye, pushing him back. Sean ducked and reached for the Keyblade, running over to Vee and getting him to his feet.
“We need to get higher on it…” Sean grimaced, taking a battle position again, Vee as well.
“Oh sure…lets take the elevator” Vee remarked.
The five regrouped, Auto’s dazed state seeming to affect the Unbirth itself. “Any ideas gang?” Sean asked, everyone near each other.
“It’s harder at the base…” Vee noted, rubbing his knuckles.
“Higher” Eve said, nodding that that was indeed what they had to do.
“Ran? Ideas?” Sean asked, looking back at the him, though going between him and the Unbirth.
Ran shook his head. “Lets get higher first…”
“Higher it is…” Sean whispered, noticing Auto coming out ofh is daze. “Lets go!”
The five charged, Eve carrying Wall-e. Auto pulled himself forward to bash into one of them, Eve taunting him to do so, but she quickly dashed to the side, Auto’s attempt useless. Randall grappled onto one of the legs, Vee and Sean running interferrance for one of the flailing tentacles, attacking it till it went limp. Past the origin of the tentacle, Randall looked up for anything else to grab onto, the less hardened flesh of the Unbirth he was unable to climb up from. He spotted a platform higher up, a dark purple one that looked firmly attached to the Unbirth. A little above it, also attached, was a handle. He would have gotten a better view, that is before Auto’s black and white form dropped in front of him. Randall barely had time to react, other than holding on, when Auto spun, Randall popping into the air and falling backward. It would have been a near-fatal fall, that is if Eve hadn’t shot over, gripping under his upper arms.
Randall blinked, looking back at her. “Guess that makes us kinda even right?”.
Eve didn’t reply, lowering him quickly to the ground. “SEAN!” he called over. Vee took up the renewed limb, Sean dodging back. “The platform at the top!” Randall shouted over. Sean followed his pointing, seeing it. He nodded confirmation and backed up, grimacing. Randall was the climber, not him, and if he couldn’t reach it now, no way he could.
“Dang…need to get lower…” he mumbled. “VEE! Come on!”. Vee looked back, ducking when the tentacle swung over him, running with Sean out from under it. Wall-e, meanwhile, was over by one of the legs, using his cutting laser, which did a fairer job at trying to break through than Vee’s fists. Eve quickly rushed over to him after she let down Randall, all five retreating. No sooner had they done so, than did the Unbirth’s legs position again. Sean and Randall risked a look back. Like last time, the Unbirth had “crouched” lower, shooting forward. “Bingo…” they both mouthed, continuing to run. “EVE!” he called over. Eve hovered over near him. “Toss me up when it gets close!”. Eve was unsure what he was getting at, but it soon dawned on her. She quickly gave Wall-e to Randall and held Sean’s arms. Turning to face it, as soon as the Unbirth got close, Vee and Randall dodged to the side as Eve airlifted Sean upward.
Using what location prediction circuity she had, Eve predicted when to let go and where. A few seconds later she did, albiet Sean was a little unexpected of the drop. Still, he fell vertical as the platform came up. When he came near, he slammed the Keyblade into the loose portion of the handle…but missed.
“Cr…” he started to shout, loosing his grip, his foot slipping. He threw out a hand and gripped the handle as hard as he could. Luckily, the Unbirth soon halted it’s charge, taking a moment to recover. Sean used the moment to get fully on the platform. He spotted something else slightly higher ahead. It was a bullet-like platform with a smooth circular top, and it was also firmly attached to the Unbirth. And it was in front of the shell at the Unbirth’s top, and the B&L screen. Strange, he thought, that there might be something in there.
His thoughts were interrupted by wind whipping around his face. Below, the Unbirth had spread its legs and somehow spun intself in a tighter circle. He hoped everyone else wasn’t in close, but figured Auto was trying to get him off for some reason, which meant they had the right idea. Once he stopped, Sean leaped for the second platform using the tip of the Keyblade to hook onto the other side of the rim, and pulled himself up. Something slashed against his back as he did so, and he turned, Keyblade raised, to see there was a tentacle protruding below the platform. It didn’t take too long to subdue the tentacle before he turned his attention elsewhere. Below, Randall and Vee were distracting Auto while Eve, half carrying Wall-e, was firing her cannon, Wall-e using his laser when they got close. His eyes fell onto the B&L screen. The screen was partly dimmed, but it was clear there was something inside.
Gripping the Keyblade, he started slashing. Despite it’s apparent glass texture, the screen seemed resistant and thick, the Keyblade taking off shards and pieces instead of just smashing the thing on the first strike. On the fifteenth hit, the glass shattered.
Inside…was the damaged but seemingly still operational upper pole of Auto’s. A open part on the pole was visible, a large red switch on it, the words “Off” written on it. Auto’s deactivation switch.
“GET OFF”. Sean turned, immediately seeing Auto’s red eye focusing on him before he was whacked in the chest and set flying just like Randall. Eve, having been preoccupied with carrying Wall-e, was unable to get to him in time. Before he hit the ground, Randall and Vee chased to grab him. Randall managed a leap, grabbing him, and both crashing into Vee.
“Oooh…thanksss guysss…” Sean started, head spinning and dazed, along with Vee and Randall. Finally recovering, they got to their feet. Pointing with the Keyblade, Sean gestured at the top of the Unbirth. “Auto’s switch is up there…if we can use it we might be able to shut him down”. The two nodded, no time to plan as Eve and Wall-e started for them…immediately followed by the charging Unbirth. They scattered again, till it came to a stop, and implimented the plan again. Randall took Wall-e and Eve took Sean. While she airlifted him, the other three ran over to keep Auto occupied. But Auto seemed prepared. The dormant electrical prod on the right side sprang to life, twisting on a gear. The Unbirth jumped and twisted, pointing the prod directly and Eve and Sean’s hovering path. Electricity began surging at the orb between the extensions, and it formed itself into a tight form, shooting out toward them. Eve dodged, losing some alttitude as it fired again. Growling, Sean loosened his grip on one of Eve’s arms and called the Keyblade. They dodged the second blast and the prod fired a third. Arcing the Keyblade, he aimed for the center of the electric ball. “THUNDER!”. The Keyblade’s tip surged with it’s own magic as Sean took a swing, and the energies collided. Guided with the Keyblade’s force, however, the ball found itself goin the opposite way, slamming into the prod as it charged a forth shot, charring it’s interal circuitry, causing it to go off line.
With the threat neutralized, Eve carried him over to the shell. She was loosing her grip, but Sean extended the Keyblade as they passed, aimin to push the switch with it’s tip. They missed the first pass, but on the second, Eve went closer and the tip graised the switch. Immediately he pushed, and the switch was activated, and Eve airlifted him awawy as the Unbirth reacted.

Though Randall, Vee, and Wall-e had did a fair amount of damage to the legs and lower tentacles, the entire Unbirth started to react to Sean and Eve’s aerial attack. All five of them retreated back as Auto’s frame shook, and the Unbirth’s tentacles flailed around. The Unbirth’s legs buckled, and soon the entire mass came down on top of each other, part of the Unbirth almost folding in like some gel or blob, and it all fell into a pile, the parts shaking one last time before silencing any sound or any movement.
Eve dropped Sean down and went over to retrieve Wall-e from Randall. Rotating his arm and grabbing his chest with the other, Sean looked on at the fallen mass, Auto somewhere in it. Randall gave him a look over and Vee came over, carrying a much larger version of the curative Potion in a green and blue glass-like container. Each of them took a drink, wounds and any pain being handled by it. All five stared at the fallen Unbirth, hoping it would stay down.
“What should we do with it?” Vee asked, to no one in particular. No one seemed to have an immediate response either.
“We’ll…take care of it as soon as we get back to Earth…” Sean suggested, looking over at Eve and Wall-e. “Alright…you two are up…”.
Eve nodded, looking at Wall-e who seemed to be exhausted from the fight despite being mostly out of it. Without another word, she lifted up and started for the holo-detector behind the Unbirth. No sooner than she went over it than did something shoot at her from below. The attack was unexpected, but Eve manage to rotate to tak most of the blow. Eve lost alttitude, and fell, smacking into the ground before the holo-detector, Wall-e falling from her arms several feet away. She took a mere moment to recover, and then rushed overe to Wall-e, who had compacted himself, and looked up, cannon raised, as the Unbirth rose itself upward.
“It’s not down! Definetly not down!” Vee yelled, all three of them battle ready again. Auto was once again at the front, but seemed aware Eve and Wall-e was behind him.
“Unbirth Directive must be followed” Auto announced through the Lido Deck. The three were surprised Auto had reactivated himself, but they quickly guessed the Unbirth had something to do with it. It would take too long to subdue it themselves. They had to get to Earth, both for Wall-e and the passengers.
“We have to think of something else…” Sean whispered.
“I could take half of it apart but…I don’t have much in the way of big equipment” Randall muttered.
“And the thing can sure take some licks…” Vee added. Sean nodded. They had little time and few options. Despite the Unbirth’s aim, Auto still seemed to be there. Maybe if there was someway…Sean’s eyes flicked. Of course. There was something. Auto was still there, and he was following what the Unbirth were singled on. But that didn’t mean they couldn’t get through to Auto himself.
Sean nodded to himself and dashed forward, not bothering to listen to Randall and Vee, and halted near Auto, who’s attention shifted from Eve and Wall-e to him. “AUTO!” he yelled up, getting the auto-pilot’s attention. “Your just following you directive right!?”. Auto motioned near him, but didn’t reply, despite both knowing the answer. “But think! What’s your most important one? What is your prime directive as the auto-pilot?”
Auto’s single red eye seemed to shade itself differently. “Unbirth Directive is prime”
“NO! Before that! Not it’s directive…YOURS!..What’s YOURS Auto? The main directive…” Sean paused, gesturing with his hands. “…is to protect the passengers right? Is to protect the humans on this ship!”
Auto’s eyes shaded again. “…Main Directive…secure the survival…of ship passengers…”
“RIGHT!” Sean yelled, grinning, though morely glad Auto was showing through. “But this…these Unbirth will take them…like this one took you…if we don’t return to Earth…they WON’T survive…”
Auto twisted his wheel section slightly. For a long moment, the mechanical sections of the Unbirth seemed to fall silent, but the tentacles were still flailing as if in alarm. After the silence, Auto finally rose slightly. “Passengers…must survive…must follow…prime…directive…” Auto announced, even as he rose. When he was on line with the middle of the Unbirth, his parts flexed open slightly and bits of white followed through his eyes as an alarm from in him sounded. Sean didn’t know what Auto was doing, but Randall and Vee seemed to get the gist, as each one grabbed one of his arms and started tugging him away, all three running as Auto’s alarm continued.
“Must…follow prime directive…safety…of…passengers…is…prime…dire…”. In a brilliant white flash, Auto ignited his power cells, both those in himself and the shut-off pole. The advancements in generating power both efficently and greatly were the same with Auto as it was with the entire ship. The explosion followed through the tentacles attached to Auto and from the Unbirth’s top.
It grew when it encounted more explosive material within it’s mechanical components, causing several smaller blasts to emerge. And in a gallery of fire, sparks, and electricity, the explosion focused in on itself and burst, disappating into the air as the safety precaution systems of the Lido Deck absorbed the fire and left over fumes into vents hidden throughout the deck. Auto had taken the Unbirth out with him…

Aw…that’s sad…Auto did the same sort of thing in chapter 9 of AUTO-Biography, but that was such an awesome fight and surprise!
Poor Auto.
That was great!!! What a surprising ending! I love it! (sorry about the too many smilies)
looks at the two latest posters… I feel like I’m Lightning between those two fan girls 0_0
Anyhoo, thank you for your comments, pic update 
Uh…no comment on that last post, Nexus. But the pics are great!!!
“Awesome fight and surprise” was still a good comment Believe me I take all the good I can since the story is rather ignored despite the efforts put into it.
Oh my gosh, I know exactly what you mean! I’ve got over 500 views on AUTO-Biography and hardly any comments save for little_chef_eva09 and thedrivintheatre (thanks, guys!)…I’m not complaining, but it is rather tiring…so I’ve posted on other places like WALL·E forum, Quizilla, Gamespot, and soon, fanfiction.net. All are non responsive, so…
All fellow writers of fan fiction with little recognition, let us tear our hair out collectively! Or…evaluate each others work, that seems better…
This is really a well-written, suspenseful fan fiction! You are very good at keeping an audience, or at least me, on their toes waiting for the next big twist! Unpredictable, and genuinely amazing. Big fan of Kingdom hearts, Digimon, WALL·E, and Monsters inc. Good show!
10/10
I know nods I mean I’ve got nearly 2000 views, which I’m glad for, more than some have (NO offense AT ALL to you AA)…though that’s a sad comparision to like 6 people who actually spoke up 0_-
Be careful with fanfiction.net, sometimes you MAY get some flamers despite not asking for them…
chuckles Well I have been recognized before…inspired others to continue and even start their own works…though I do miss it shrugs Which is why I like what good comments come, I appreciate them.
Thank you ^^ I’ve worked rather tirelessly watching the film seconds on end to recreate it from start to finish, as well as referrances for the pics (you wouldn’t believe how long it took to catch a split-second full-view of the Lido Deck before the emergency lights that come on blind it). Thanks for your enthusasim ^^
Of course by no means this won’t be the last, Ratatouille will be next, as well as the Incredibles after that. Of course we’re also working on the story of why me, Vee and Ran our involved in the first place (this story was mainly an introduction, the next one, Ratatouille, will involve a little background. And then in Incredibles, get a little of Vee’s, and in M.I., of course, we get Randall’s). Thank you for the dedication
I just hope you know you have my support. I’ve read thousands of books, fanfics, and articals before, but you are one talented writer!
Ooh…I’m looking forward to the rest!
Right, 123EVE123?
laughs.
nods and bows Thank you ^^
An in some honorable way, anybody who reviewed so far will get a sneak peak at the next story ^-
bounces in seat
WHEE!
Laughs.
chuckles Thank you both. Perked up my story-side hm hm hm.
I can’t wait! Sorry about not returning, I was working on my newest fanfic. screams with delight
That’s alright, I was just as busy myself. I’m probably clocking out soon. With the new attention the fanfic has garnered, I might put the next chapter up tomorrow.
