Wall-E the Cyborg (Chapter 5)

Mutiny

Back with the Captin he plays with a toy Axiom and a globe of the Earthmaking Rocket noises "Prepare for landing..." he said making Landing noises "We're here everybody!"

"Yeah, Captain!" he said making crowd cheers.

"Captain we're home! It's so beautiful!" more crowd cheers"

"...No it's nothing. I was pleased to do it. It's all about you people –" but from the trash Eve bursts out from it, like an angel and blows the lid off.

The Captain is stunned by this vision as she opens her chest to reveal the plant.

"How...? How'd you find it!" he asked as Eve hovers over to him and salutes and formally presents him the plant as he takes it in his hands.

Still potted in the old boot he gazes at it in wonder. "We can go back home...for the first time!" he laughs. "What's it like now?"

"I don't know"Eve said as she shrugs.

"No, no! Don't tell me! I want to see for myself!" he said as he turns to his console and hits a button.

A Cylindrical Device rises from a panel and the Captain sticks it to the side of Eve's head.

A Holographic Screen projects from the device and plays back images of Eve time on Earth.

A collage of images rapidly scroll past from being delivered to Earth, flying above the devastated landscape, blowing up a rock Wall-E was behind, Scans of numerous trash locationsect.

"Wait...that doesn't look like Earth...Where's the blue sky..." the Captain said as he looks over to his computer screen with the beauty images of Earth still on display then compares them with what plays on Eve's screen.

"...Where's the grass?" he said as his face drops in defeat.

Eve watched as The Hello Dolly clip of Poysc plays...It stirs the Captain out of his funk as he looks up at the screen then leans in for a closer look.

"...I know that song..." he said as he observes the dancers' feet "And they're... dancing. Yes, dancing!" as he looks down at his foot tapping in time to the music.

His gaze drifts over to the plant in his hands as he lifts it up and makes the boot dance.

"...You made it somehow, eh little guy? You didn't give up, did you?" he said and as if in response, the plant wilts slightly and a leaf drops as the Captain gasps.

"Oh no, no –" he said but remembers, "wait a minute!"

The Captain urgently hovers across the room and leaves Eve alone as her recorded memories continue playingas the clip changes to It Only Takes a Moment.

Eve recognizes the music and watches the lovers on screen hold hands.

'There's something familiar about that gesture...' she thought as she looks at her own hands and slowly, she interlocks her fingers as Eve's eyes go wide.

'This is what Wall-E was trying to say to me!' she thought as her memories continue on the screen where a tap on the shoulder and Wall-E presents her the plant and then screen goes black then her security camera footage initiates.

Wall-E's vigil for Eve plays out from protecting her from the rain and getting struck by lightning five times, the sun, the sandstorm, keeping watch night and day, trying to jump start her heart.

Eve was amazed at Wall-E's selfless dedication to her and realized the meaning of Wall-E's love.

"Wall-E..." she said softly as she looked at her hands again.

IIIII

Still waiting between the towel racks Wall-E rehearses holding out his hand to Eve.

"Eve?...No! Um Eve would you?...no! Oh I'll never get it right!" he said as he becomes impatient and sneaks his way over to the garbage chute and stuck his head in.

"Eve?" he said as he voice echoed and he got no answer as he looked down the chute endless drop as he climbed in.

Holding himself spread eagle to stay in place he Carefully inches his way up to the Captain's quarters...

Out on the Upper Deck a monorail pulls up and M-O steps off still hot on Wall-E's trail and scrubs the dirty tracks towards the bridge lobby.

M-O Then notices Wall-E's fresh track leading to the trash chute.

"Ah-hah! Gotcha! Your mine now you messy cyborg!" he said laughing evilly.

Back in the Captains Quarters the Captain was at his wet bar watering the plant in the sink.

"There you go little guy. You came a long way for a drink of water... Just needed someone to look after you, that's all –" he said as he was struck with a notion and stares out the window at space for a beat and sees his reflection holding the plant and glances at his Earth globe.

"We have to go back!" he said as he activated his chair's call button.

"Auto, come down here!" he said.

"Aye-aye, sir" Auto said on a speaker.

Eve was still watching Wall-E's vigil on the screen playing Pong, Wall-E etching their names in a heart and Eve was lost in the moments and very touched.

"Wall-E..." she said as she remembered "Wall-E! He's still waiting for me!" She turns to leave and finds Auto lowering in front of her.

Auto spots the plant in the Captain's hand and A113 flashes on Auto's eye.

"Auto, Eve found the plant. Fire up the Holo-detector" he said.

"That is not necessary, Captain. You may give it to me" he said noticing the Captain wasn't even listening.

"You know what? I should do it myself" he said heading for the elevator for upstairs.

"Captain!" Auto said shooting back upstairs threw a hole then pops out another in front of the elevator and blocks the Captain.

"Sir, I insist you give me the plant" he said darkly.

"Auto, get out of my way" the Captain said.

"Sir, we cannot go home" Auto said.

"What are you talking about? Why not?" The Captain asked.

"That is classified. Captain, give me the plant" Auto said as the Captain holds plant out of reach.

"What do you mean, "classified"? You don't keep secrets from the Captain!" he yelled.

"Give me the damn plant!" Auto said losing his patience's.

"Tell me what's classified!" the Captain yelled.

"The plant sir" Auto said holding out his hand.

"Tell me, Auto! That's an order!" The Captain yelled as it became a stare down.

"Aye-aye, sir" Auto said rising back into the ceiling and lowers down over the vanity console and began a high speed button pushing.

A new B-N-L video message the appears labeled: "TOP SECRET: FOR AUTOPILOT EYE ONLY".

The B-N-L fanfare then plays then cuts to the B-N-L CEO at the podium haggard and nervous and wearing an emergency oxygen vest and the fanfare plays too long.

"Just cut it off, will ya!" the CEO yelled as the music stops as he forces a chuckle.

"Hey there, Autopilot! Uh, got some bad news. Operation Cleanup has, uh, well... failed! Wouldn't you know, rising toxicity levels have made life unsustainable on Earth" he said.

"Unsustainable? What?" the Captain said.

"Damn it all, we're going to have to cancel Operation Recolonize" he said as he dons his life vest, "So just, uh...just stay the course rather than try to fix this problem, it'll just be easier if everyone remain in space" he said.

"Easier?" The Captain said feeling offended.

"Mr. President, sir, it's time to go" a man on the screen said.

"Alright, uh...uh...I'm giving override directive: A113. Go to full autopilot. Take control of everything! And do not return to Earth! Repeat! Do not return to Earth!" he said as he throws on his gas mask.

"Now let's get the hell out of here" he said as the CEO races out of the room and the message cuts out.

Auto then turns to face the Captain as the Captain shakes his head in disgust.

"Now, the plant" Auto said.

"No, wait a minute. Computer, when was that message sent to the Axiom?" the Captain asked.

The paused image on the holo-screen highlights as the dare begins to calculate on the screen as it shows years scroll rapidly backwards then stops on 2110.

"Message received in the year 2110" the computer said.

"That's - that's nearly 700 years ago! Auto, things have changed! We've got to go back!" The Captain said.

"Sir, orders are: "Do not return to Earth"." Auto said.

"But life is sustainable now! Look at this plant, green and growing! It's living proof he was wrong!" the Captain said.

"Irrelevant, Captain" Auto said.

"What? It's completely relevant!" he yelled pointing out to space "out there is our home! Home, Auto! And it's in trouble! I can't just sit here and...and...do nothing! That's all I've done! That's all anyone on this damn ship has ever done...NOTHING!" he yelled.

"On the Axiom you will survive" he said.

"I DON'T WANT TO SURVIVE! I WANT TO LIVE!" The Captain yelled.

"I must follow my directive" Auto said.

"DAAAARGH!" the Captain yelled in frustration and turns away as his eyes catch sight of the Captains portraits and notices Auto in every one of them looking over all their shoulders a little closer every generation.

The Captain slowly looks over his shoulder and Auto is right behind him and the Captain looks at the plant in his lap.

His countenance grows determined as he rights his hat and turns to face Auto and gives the most authoritative order of his career.

"I'm the Captain of the Axiom. We are going home today!" he yelled as Auto slides into his face and makes the Captain flinch.

"Too bad" he said as he sent out a signal and Gopher shoots out of a pneumatic tube and salutes Auto.

Eve immediately remembers him from the Pod Bay

'I must warn the Captain!' she thoguht.

"Gopher?" the Captain said as Gopher activates his suspension beam and snatches the plant away from the Captain.

"Hey! That's my plant. This is mutiny!" he yelled turning to Eve "Eve, arrest him!"

"Yes sir!" Eve said as she drews her gun and points it at Gopher.

Gopher then raises his arms in the air "don't shoot!" he said.

Eve opens her chest cavity then motions for Gopher to put the plant inside her.

"Eve, you are to put this plant straight in the Holo-detector" the Captain said as Gopher slowly advances towards Eve but smirks then tosses the plant across the room and down the trash chute.

"No!" the Captain yelled.

"Oh no!" Eve said.

'It's over the plant is gone' Eve thought

The plant suddenly reappears in the chute and rises up from the chute as Wall-E's head follows unawares of the plant resting on his head.

"Eve?" Wall-E said.

"WALL-E!" The Captain and Eve said.

Wall-E straddles the top of the lip chute as the plant drops onto his chest as he looked down at it with surprise.

"Hey, the plant!" Wall-E said holding it up

"Wall-E! The plant!" The Captain yelled.

"Toss it! Over here!" Eve yelled.

Wall-E anticipates to throw it, when Auto lowers right in front of him, trying to block.

"Give me the plant!" he said.

Eve moves to help Wall-E but Gopher traps her in his suspension beam.

Wall-E dodges Auto's advances then opens his chest and tosses the plant into his chest and slams it shut.

"You can't have it! If you want it come get it!" Wall-E said as Auto reaches for one of the two long rods coming out of the steering wheel in his back and pulls out a long Taser and spun it in his hand and electrocute Wall-E.

Wall-E's chest circuitry blows out as he wheezes then drops lifelessly down the chute as Eve screams.

Gopher floats her trapped form over to Auto the button on her defect boot is pressed by Auto as she shuts down into pod mode.

Gopher's ray holds Eve over the opening then drops her down the chute as she bangs against the sides as she tumbles.

Gopher then salutes Auto and exits as Auto turns to the Captain spinning his Taser in one hand as he smirked evilly at the Captain shook

"All communications are terminated. You are confined to quarters" he said as the power shuts off in the room and Auto rises back up through the ceiling.

Up the hole Auto went into the Captain looks up and

shakes his fist in fury.

"NO! MUTINY! MUTINY! MUTINEEEEE!
he yelled as the hole closed.
