"Your Life Has Only Just Begun."

Robopocalypse, or RBP for short, is a Cookie Run AU involving Hero, a cowardly mechanic who makes a grave mistake altering his best friend Jellyco Cube. This alteration causes such a tiny cube to become a 7 ft. Mechanical Monster! They threaten to mechanize the entire population with force like how Hero altered them! Surely, nothing could go wrong with this plan, right?

This AU has been in development since December 2018 and still has many things to cover! In the middle of developing the AU, we've had the release of Cyborg and Ion, along with Aloe being playable years later. Some vague ideas have been taken from the comics as well. Hope you enjoy your stay! As of writing, there are over 2000+ posts on this blog.

The blog is best read from beginning to end. Unfortunately, tumblr broke my tag links, so I'll have to update that eventually.

(A little disclaimer note, all these posts are old and not really that great, but I hope they're enjoyable. I get that I was super vague in the plot, so if you have any questions, I don't mind answering them. This blog was also created before the release of Aloe. Aloe is nonbinary on this blog and uses They/She/He.)

“ATTENTION CITIZENS OF BLUESTAR. V.ALOE HAS BEEN CLASSIFIED AS A TRAITOR UNDER ARTICLE VI. REPORT ANY SUSPICIOUS BEHAVIOR.” 

The air flew past them like wind. The scientist had simply no choice but to run. Their eyes started to rust from the tears streaming down their face. Don't think about it. Don't think about it. 

Was this how Caramel felt during the war?  This was simply horrible. Aloe wasn’t particularly agile like how Lemon was or even Cyborg for that matter. They shouldn't have tried to put up a fight against Raspberry Iced Tea! They berated themselves for that. 

To lose someone dear to them again… for the third time. That was the final straw. They had to have done something… but fist-fighting a trained royal guard was not the way to do it. Who knows! They could be puddled right here and now! Aloe couldn't let their fears get to them. They had to find Lemon and Cyborg immediately. 

They haven't left the castle yet… This would be a long shot for the scientist, but they knew their way around here thanks to Starflower's old tours and casual snack breaks. They could go towards the prison. They could jailbreak Cyborg. Aloe absolutely hated the thought of committing another treasonous action towards their planet, but things had to be done. Tea needed to be stopped at once. 

Corridors everywhere. Aloe maneuvered left, left, straight, right, left, etc. with no end in sight. They needed to lose the royal guards first. It was times like these that they wished they had gotten closer to the other Bluestar royal. 

Thankfully Tea wasn't on Aloe's tail. That was the one saving grace right now. If Tea had been here, Aloe would have perished quite a bit sooner. The royal guard may be smart, but Aloe was a genius when it came to calculating on the fly.

“Stars… forgive me for this.” They prayed to the now-fallen friend. 

A terminal near the prison caught Aloe's attention as they pulled out a small device and a wire from their coat pocket. Brute Forcing their way into the prison was out of the question, but if they could do this fast enough…

“00110011 00110000 00110011 00110010 00110000…”  

“Stop! Turn yourself in at once!” The guards flew towards Aloe quickly, their mouth wide open from being in shock. Aloe braced themselves for impact as the guards pointed their weapons straight at the NeoAzul: Guns loaded with electricity stronger than whatever Lemon or Cyborg could produce, presumably harvested from the endless electrical storm on the other side of the planet.

Back facing towards the guards, Aloe protected their computer from the potential shocks. They put their hands up in defeat as the computer was set on the floor. This was the end of the line for them. 

As the guards drew near, a small click was heard from the terminal. A door came crashing down, separating the incoming guards from Aloe's current location. The scientist slowly lowered their hands. 

“Haha… HAHA…” They couldn't help but erupt into laughter. “I can't believe that worked!!” They picked up their computer giddily. They continued on further breathing heavily. Hacking into the security system was no easy feat. From there, the scientist hurriedly scuttered to the prison where they were certain that Cyborg was held. With the override of the security protocol, all of the cells, if not most of them, should have been unlocked. Even on the run, their hubris was undefeated in regard to their knowledge of technology. 

Aloe busted down the door with their right leg. 

“Was about time you showed up!!” Cyborg had their blaster against a poor guard’s head, making it spark as an intimidation tactic as the guard was on the floor face down, even if the guard was already unconscious. “I’m really, REALLY mad at you right now, but right now we have to bust Knighty out!” 

Aloe couldn’t help but smirk at Cyborg’s angry expression. It was endearing to them that Cyborg was so… Cyborg. With all the events that transpired in the past few days, it brought them a strange sort of comfort. 

“Cyborg…” Aloe sighed softly, even letting out a silent chuckle. 

“What’s so funny?! We just witnessed an execution AND an intergalactic marriage!!” They were fuming but genuinely wanted to know why Aloe was acting in such a way at a time like this.

“I’m just feeling nostalgic… to times before the war, I suppose. Come on. We need to find Lemon before we can think about stopping Z.Raspberry.” They grimaced calling Tea by their new title, but it was the least they could do to not get randomly puddled. Aloe put their hand on their scouter to calculate a new route after blocking the previous route where guards might be stationed still. 

“If I may,” White Choco emerged from behind Cyborg, “There should be a gate that is not nearly as supervised near the back exit of the palace. We could potentially take a ship from the docking area near there, gather supplies, and find both Lemon and Knight under the guise of a NeoAzullian soldier.”

“Surprisingly perceptive,” Aloe nodded, “If I can override the mainframe on the ship we could use it as a cloak of some sort… It might allow us some time to search for our friends. Cyborg could masquerade as a citizen if we fit them in the proper attire.”

“I’m doing what now-” 

“Fitting in as a citizen. You have the physical attributes of a NeoAzullian. All you would have to do is pilot the vessel while we work in the shadows. Of course, there comes the question if you can even pilot a ship-”

“Shut up! I can do it just fine if you teach me.” Cyborg huffed. They made sure the guard was unconscious before floating up into the air slightly to match Aloe’s height. 

on god ignore the timing i edited this with my Bluetooth headphones

please dont ever leave me in a car for 5 hours

The man Cyborg loved was going to be taken away from them like that. They had dented the door to the prison, but their own metal was dented and busted. They were slumped into the corner trying to undo the damage that they had done to themselves trying to break free from this intergalactic hell they were put into. 

White Choco was doing the same. She was clenching her fists together before making one last punch to the wall. The metal on her knuckles was slowly being chipped away. There was nobody there to give her strength. How could she give herself strength after losing so much energy trying to escape her cell? 

The two of them heard the bells from outside. It was time. 

A group of guards came into the room to round up all the prisoners, which at the moment, was only Cyborg and White Choco. Cyborg wanted oh so badly to use this opportunity to escape, but all their energy was sapped up. It was so unfair of Aloe to let go of Lemon and keep them stuck there, but they were too tired to be mad.

The two were forced into handcuffs and escorted outside. Maybe it wasn’t so bad, considering Cyborg and White Choco knew each other. They weren’t exactly close, but maybe now they could bond a little more. 

“Psst,” Cyborg whispered to White Choco as they were being walked out, “So why did they lock you up in here? And why didn’t I see you get captured?”

White Choco seemed a little lost in her own thoughts before she lifted her head to face Cyborg.

“Something about not being compatible… I always assumed it was because I’m more robot than cookie now… but perhaps…” 

She trailed off without elaborating which left Cyborg confused. 

“...Perhaps… perhaps what?” 

“If it’s not that… I believe my family ancestry has been fabricated in some way. We might be half-siblings…”

Cyborg just shook their head. Their voice raised slightly. ”Why does that matter? You’re still his sister. Look, we can figure it out later if you’re still worried about it.”

“It does not matter in these circumstances, however, it muddies things with the Old House of Raspberry…” White Choco trailed off again. “I know I shouldn’t hold onto the past but-...”

 The guards shoved White Choco down slightly.

“Shut up. We’re arriving at our destination shortly.” One of them ordered. Cyborg sneered in retaliation and looked at White with a worried expression. White Choco was once again looking down at the ground, seemingly lost in thought. Cyborg wished they could try to help, but if they couldn’t get inside her head, there was no way they could know what was bothering her. 

…

The wedding bells had rang.

Aloe and Lemon were called for the momentous occasion immediately. This was it. This was the big day. This was the day that everyone had been dreading. 

What was a positive moment on Earth quickly turned negative for everyone, including Lemon.

After that talk with Starflower, Lemon could feel something going to happen. There was just a sinking feeling in his stomach. Hundreds of people once again gathered near the castle and thousands more in the plaza. Of course, Lemon and Aloe had front-row seats, courteously given to them by King Z.Starflower himself.

Aloe and Lemon sat down next to each other in the audience. Lemon lifted his hand up slightly, wanting to voice the sinking feeling underneath his circuitry, but put it back down quickly. That was something that was between Lemon and Starflower. Aloe looked just as nervous though. Their body had been slightly liquifying in real-time. They took a couple of deep breaths right before Lemon lightly put his hand on their shoulder. 

“...I’m sorry, Android. I suppose I’m slightly put off by the idea of Y.Raspberry Iced Tea becoming a royal…” Aloe put their hand on top of Lemon’s, “Y.Tea has never liked his highness, Z.Starflower…”

Lemon nodded. He could only assume that Aloe was also afraid of something happening to Z.Starflower. 

“Whatever happens now, I’ll be right at your side,” Lemon stated, not really thinking about what he just said, but he felt his hand squeeze slightly, indicating that Aloe was on board with it. 

The two of them watched as the main lights in the castle dimmed and a spotlight turned on. A new royal emerged from the shadows, a much taller one. His hands were behind his back as he stood tall with an icy glare that could pierce through any organism alive. The crowd went wild, chanting his name.

“Z.Clematis!”

“Z.Clematis!”

“Z.Clematis!”

His head wings flapped, taking in the scene beforehand. He cleared his throat. His voice boomed loudly and proudly. 

“Welcome, all, from A to Z. I hope you all are excited to be here as I am today. As everyone is aware, our first royal wedding in a millennium is taking place at this very moment today. This auspicious day not only unites us as a planet but also is one of the very rare instances that we will be crowning one of our beloved generals as part of Bluestar Royalty.”

Starflower walked up behind Clematis and the two exchanged a bow. 

“As you all may be aware, Bluestar originated with three royals. One who could grant wishes, one who was a great warrior, and the third who could generate power of their own violation. For the first time in history, we are celebrating a fourth addition after Z.Clematis and I, Z.Starflower, have been serving for eons. We hope that you will accept them with open arms.” 

Cyborg and White watched the two royals give their speech. Cyborg could barely keep their head up. They just had to sit and watch. 

The doors flew open to the ceremonial room as if on cue. The spotlight moved to illuminate the doorway and out-stepped one of the most composed individuals the planet has ever seen. The light shone on him as if they were a celestial being, and Cyborg could not believe their eyes. 

“...Knighty…?” They whimpered out from under their breath. This was the first time they saw him after his conversion. Their eyes widened as they witnessed Knight all dolled up and regal. Arms in front of him, hands folded together so politely, head slightly tilted down in politeness. They could not believe their eyes… This wasn’t their Knighty. This wasn’t him at all…

He stopped at the podium near where Clematis and Starflower were standing. His demeanor was vastly different from both royals. Cyborg had to think that something was wrong. He must be being controlled in some sort of way, or maybe he’s been brainwashed? What if it was both? Cyborg revved up their boots and tried to push themselves to get closer. 

“Knighty! Knightyy!” They got themselves off the ground for only a few seconds before getting shoved back onto the floor. Their face was planted into the ground and their arms pinned behind their back. “Get off me!!” They shrieked trying to fight the guards pinning them down. It was now or never. They needed to save Knight before anything else happened, but their strength was depleted. The NeoAzullians were much stronger than they were.

The struggling stopped once they heard the doors open again. Raspberry Iced Tea stood proudly with their hands behind their back. The moment felt so long to Cyborg, and to put salt in the wound, they could feel Tea glancing back at them with the biggest smirk.

Clematis and Starflower's words became a muffled mess in Cyborg’s processors. The whole thing was unfolding in front of their very eyes. 

“Y.Raspberry Iced Tea shall be now known as…” 

On the other side, Aloe's heart started sinking hearing the royal's words. They couldn't believe that Tea succeeded in their plan to become a royal on Bluestar. They clenched their fist knowing what power they had over the citizens. Over the royals. 

Lemon was connecting the dots faster than Aloe. Despite not being a NeoAzullian, during his earlier spar with Tea on the spaceship he caught a glimpse of who they truly were, just by how they fought. 

“...Z.Raspberry Iced Tea. They shall rule alongside their partner, Z.Mocha.”

The crowd erupted with cheering and celebration. People were waving flags and jumping for their new ruler. People clang drinks of liquid aluminum together, unknowing of either Z.Mocha's origins or Z.Tea's desire to rule selfishly. Only the four in the audience seemed to be unhappy amongst the ruckus.

Tea stepped forward. 

“I am honored to be here today as one of Bluestar’s royalty. I could not have been here if it had not been for Z.Starflower’s kind gestures or Z.Clematis’s faith in me as his top general.” Tea looked behind themself to take a gander at all the royals behind them. “I have worked hard to obtain this position, and I will make good use of this opportunity.” 

There was a nod of approval from Z.Clematis. He slightly raised his hand to end the ceremony, however, Tea interjected swiftly.

“Before this meeting is over, I would like Z.Starflower to step forward beside me…” 

Aloe leaned over the railing they were sitting behind to attempt to get a closer look, “didn’t they say something about overthrowing King Z.Starflower on the spaceship?” The scientist felt panic building up within their body. 

“Don’t know. I was either asleep or imprisoned at the time.” 

Lemon was unsure if he should tell Aloe of the omen. Maybe this wasn’t the big event Starflower was talking about. The android could feel seeds of doubt within his circuitry, but he leaned over the rail alongside Aloe as a way of trying to comfort them. 

“Lemon… I…” Aloe started, but they weren’t able to finish their sentence before their attention snapped back to the ceremony at hand. 

Tea raised their hand and created a spark of electricity out of their hand. Several flashes started forming around them in a circle. Their shiny new cape flowed in the wind that was created by the vortex of bolts. Their eyes under their visor narrowed as they smirked.

“Augh-!” The king kneeled down on the ground after being struck with what felt like a taser. He looked up at Tea who was now standing over him. With a swift kick, Starflower was down laying on his side. His leg started to drip into a puddle of liquid metal. The crowd gasped, along with Aloe and Lemon rushing out of their seats to go down to see what happened. Clematis stomped towards Tea but was quickly stopped by Tea holding up their arm as a warning sign for Clematis to stay back. 

“Sire! Sire!” Aloe pushed through hordes of people to the stairs to try to get Starflower some help. For once in his life, Lemon was behind them getting pushed by the crowd panicking. The scientist was too fast for him to keep up and the two got separated quickly. 

By the time Aloe got down there, Starflower was reduced to a head and an arm. Aloe dipped their hands in the puddle of metal of their previous king with tears welding up in their eyes. “S-Sire…  I can fix you…! I can save you…! Just like Cyborg! And Lemon! Don’t die on me please!” 

Starflower simply shook his head. 

“V.Aloe… Need not to worry…” His arm started to submerge in the large puddle.

Aloe kept trying to gather the liquid on the ground back into one mass hurriedly but to no avail. They tried picking up his head, but the puddle had the consistency of water. Starflower’s eyes finally closed as Aloe could feel the matter slipping away through between their fingertips. The only thing left of the great king was his long coat on the ground, beaten and dirtied by Tea’s boots as they smirked down at the scientist. 

“Good riddance… Finally,” They looked proud of their work and looked up towards the panicking crowd again. “Things are going to be run differently around here now. Better than how Starflower used to run things.” They turned towards Clematis who was in the shadows now, feeling slightly ashamed. That was his general who just assassinated his co-worker. Tea just simply looked at their hand in amusement as Clematis shied away from his throne. 

“Z.Clematis shall be known as… hm… X.Clematis now.” Tea chuckled to themself. “Thus, making it so I'm the only one in charge other than poor little Mocha over here…” 

“How could you do this to him?!” Aloe shrieked at Tea as tears welled up in their eyes. 

Tea didn’t even look at the V-class as they laughed at them. “It was about time he kicked the bucket! This planet was going to die if he was in control any longer!”

“Is this what you wanted all along? For Z.Starflower to die?! What would that even accomplish? What do you gain from that?!” The scientist stood up and stumbled. They looked into Tea’s visor with contempt. Their voice shook from the emotional turmoil that they had to endure. “I’ve lost a lot of lives up until now, but all of them I could fix, but this one…” 

Aloe growled and clenched their fists before charging towards the new Z-class. Tears were streaming down their face and were starting to form rust on the sides of their eyes. 

Tea simply just moved out of the way as Aloe tried their best to throw a few punches, even mocking them as they moved their matter away from Aloe’s fists. They laughed as they kicked them right in the core, causing them to stumble backward. 

“You’re pitiful, you know?” Tea mocked them, even attempting to scare them with a bolt of electricity, “It’s no wonder we left you on Earth for so long! You make Bluestar look bad with your fighting abilities. How are you even a V-class?” 

Aloe stepped back heaving in rage after seeing Tea’s electrical abilities activate. “L-Lemon! I need you!” 

Lemon tried to catch up to Aloe as best as he could, but he was lost in the crowd now. He felt a tap on his shoulder before whipping around to face the individual who tapped him. He couldn't identify the person through his sensors since there were many bodies, but before he could get a good look, his optics were shut off suddenly. “Wait- What are you-” 

After no response from Lemon, Aloe looked at their opponent before dropping their fighting stance. This was a calculated retreat.
