Many the Kbot view the Krogoth as somewhat a simple
creature. This is in fact quite the opposite. The
Krogoth is in fact extremely complicated in its
nature. It's only it's mind that is simple.
Many also view this as the same thing.
But here is a simple battle story, told from the optic
sensors of that most lovable (?) of Super Kbot, the
Krogoth. And also starring that annoying ARM Kbot, the
PeeWee.
As Fred the Krogoth lumbered over the grassy/jungle
terrain of Lush, he barely noticed that his
communications array was blipping from a slight
malfunction. Of course there was a lot Fred didn't
notice, he was viewed as slow even by his fellow
Krogoth. But this didn't bother Fred much, for he
still worked hard at his dream; to be the favorite
Krogoth in the eyes of his hero, his leader: the Core
Commander. This was an extremely large task however,
with Krogoth such as Bob still held in such high
regard. A Krogoth would have to match the battle
skills of Bob, while not being blown up, to accomplish
this task.
NO one thought it could be done. So he continued on
his scout and destroy mission around the perimeter of
a new Core base, buried deep in the heart of Lush. As
Fred's communications system took its final beep
before shutting down until repairs. Fred knocked over
a tree, then continued on his way.
Meanwhile, about seven clicks away from Fred's
position, PeeWee #4896701 slowly made it's way through
the dense wooded area near the edge of the Core's
territory. He saw Fred, just about everything for ten
miles around saw Fred, but Fred didn't see the Peewee.
This confused the PeeWee, for obviously he was within
the area the Core was currently scanning. He decided
to call it in.
"Sir, hold off the attack! I am currently targeting a
Krogoth just inside the Core territory"; The PeeWee
said as he made sure there was still enough distance
between him and the Krogoth.
"What"? Came the voice of the commanding Zeus, who was
currently leading an ARM platoon on a frontal attack
mission on the Core base, "has it spotted you
yet"?
"No sir", Said the PeeWee expressing his confusion,
"I'm obviously within his scanning range, yet he
continues to march due east".
"Away from your position", the Zeus said grimly, "I
hope we aren't dealing with Bob here".
The PeeWee went slightly pale around the receptors.
Bob was known through out the ARM for his irregular
battle strategies. ARM intelligence was currently
trying its darndest to discover why Core continued to
pattern this mind of Bob into a new body after every
battle. So far, they are unsuccessful. "Sir, what
shall I do"?
The Zeus was silent for a moment, then responded,
"Continue to track this Krogoth, see what it does. At
the first sign of trouble, contact us and we'll
continue with our previously planned attack".
"Affirmative sir", answered the PeeWee somewhat
reluctantly. He turned back to the Krogoth slowly,
then quickly called the Zeus back. "Hey sir"!
"What is it"? Asked the Zeus anxiously.
"What's the reward for a PeeWee taking out a Krogoth"?
The Zeus was silent for a moment, then smiled and
said, "Instant promotion to FIDO".
The PeeWee smiled viscously, then said “Affirmative
Over and out".
Back at the platoon, a Rocko gingerly made his way to
the commanding Zeus. "Um, sir"?
"Yes, Rocko #24367821", the Zeus loomed over the over
the rocko.
"What are the odds of the PeeWee surviving"?
The Zeus calculated this for a moment, then confirmed
the answer the Rocko had first calculated. "Several
hundred and nine million to one".
"About there"?
"About there".
The Rocko slowly let this sink in, then looked up at
the Zeus and said, "That high huh"?
The Zeus was silent as he stared in the direction of
the Core base. "Yes, that high".
The Rocko thought about this for a moment then retook
his place back in rank.
As Fred pushed down an another tree, he still pondered
how they made that damn D-Gun work. The Core Commander
himself had told him magic fairies lived inside, and
they fed only on armor. Though this answer seemed
perfectly acceptable, he couldn't figure out why the
Core Commander had walked off laughing after answering
Fred's question. Now Fred wondered if the fairies were
ticklish.
As Fred was pondering the mysteries of the Bulldog,
the PeeWee slowly made his way up behind him. He let
out a quiet sigh of relief; this Krogoth didn't
possess the profanity and other assorted graffiti that
Bob possess. He was no more then half a click away,
and the Krogoth still showed no signs of responding.
Now the only logical answer the PeeWee could think
have been: this Krogoth must be damaged in some way.
So, being to fool hardy PeeWee #4896701 tended to be
(the one before him had taken out a critical Sumo),
decided against his better judgement and charged. He
was about to fire his EMGs, when Fred turned to look
at a passing butterfly.
"Now that would be something to pattern", Fred said to
himself, "The Butterfly Kbot. I wish I was one of
those". A moment later, there was an explosion from
under Fred's foot. It slightly damaged his armor, but
it still took twenty seconds for the damage to
register. "Huh? What the heck was that"? He looked
down at his foot, aimed his gauss cannons, and yelled,
"YYYYYOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSS IIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSS
BBBBBBAAAAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDDSSSSSSSSS"! After another
moment, he smiled to himself and said, "Needs work",
and then Fred went to look for the butterfly.
Meanwhile, back where the Zeus and his platoon, the
other ARM Kbots were getting edgy. The Zeus was
frantically calling on his communicator, "PeeWee
#4896701. PeeWee #4896701! Respond"!
"What happened boss"? Asked an under informed
Thud.
"I've lost contact with one of the scouts", said the
Zeus grimly, "okay men, it's time too...” the Zeus was
interrupted by a sound behind him.
"Well well well, what do we have here"? Said the Core
Commander viscously.
"Looks like a bunch of dead ARM scum", said Bob the
Krogoth.
"Well, let's show them how hospitable we are, shall
we"? The Core Commander said to the rest of his
troops.
"Sure thing boss", said Bob, who now turned to the ARM
scum and said those classic words,
"YYYYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUU
BBBBBBBBBBAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDDDD"!!!!!! The Arm did
retaliate, but not for very long.
