Part 3 of Robots Rewritten, bitches, LET'S GO!!!!!!!!!!

Tw for robot gore/violence for this part. This final battle is going to be greasy, as it's said in the original

We pick up where we left off with the outmode crew and Bigweld going to Bigweld Industries, much to the surprise of all witnesses. Bigweld still has Rodney and Cappy wait, but frames it more as a, "Let the adult handle this," and also gives a bit of a parental push for Cappy by encouraging her to stick with Rodney so he doesn't stir up trouble. While Bigweld goes inside, Rodney and Cappy talk, admitting that neither knows what happens after this, but Cappy goes in to tell Rodney how genuinely grateful she is he ever came to the city, as she would never have been as brave as him to make a difference to this extent. The best Rodney comes up with in return, after some self hyping, is asking Cappy on a date, a proper one where he's himself and not wearing a dumb disguise. It makes them both laugh, but Cappy agrees on the condition that they pick what the other HAS TO wear. When Rodney dares her to repeat that, Fender and the others join in by giving odeas for what Rodney could have Cappy wear, i.e. something onutmode-ish and silly, and time's are just fun for a second as they wait a little bit

Ratchet still sees Bigweld and PANICS, and still "charms" his way to the point he knocks Bigweld out, and knocks some screws loose. Things proceed as they do in the original with Ratchet ordering Bigweld taken to the Chop Shop along with Rodney and Cappy, thought Rodney does onject and demand that Ratchet leave Cappy alone, maybe even kicks him and sees how weak Ratchet's upgrades are. The chase still occurs because it's genuinely entertaining, and Cappy shows off her rollerblading

The chase ends the same way, the outmodes go to the Chop Shop to foght, and the final battle starts the same way as it does in the original, with Gasket realizing Rodney is the one causing her so much trouble and revealing the giant Sweepers and that the outmodes are outnumbered. UNTIL PIPER AND THE ROBOTS RODNEY HELPED SHOW UP!!

The fight is very much the same as it is in the orginal, with everyone fighting their own battle, though after saving Bigweld, Rodney does an "awesome, badass nerd" move by swinging in(with a push from Wonderbot) to save Cappy from Chop Shop workers; she got separated from the outmodes and got outnumbered. (A visual gag could be Bigweld high-fiving Wonderbot for added humor. You'll see why it's needed soon)

Gasket ultimately has to retreat from the fight on the Giant Sweepers, and Ratchet gets the Sweepers activated.

Cappy, Rodney, and Bigweld all see it happen, but Rodney gets an idea, though he tells Cappy to stay where she is so she's safe. Cappy obviously refuses, but Rodney begs her to because he doesn't want anything to happen to Cappy; his idea is a dangerous one. There's back and forth, but Cappy ultimately kisses Rodney, who she makes promise her that he's going to come back and take her on that date he offered. He obviously does and moves out

Like in the original, Rodney and Bigweld swing down from a giant saw to knock over the Giant Sweepers, thank goodness too because they were closing in on the outmodes.

Ratchet sees Bigweld and Rodney swing toward him and has momentary panic before throwing himself at Rodney at the last moment, sending the two on a conveyor belt. The momentum also sends Gasket into the same chains Ratchet ends up in, in the original, so she's next to her husband

The Giant Sweepers are taken out and the outmodes rush to get Bigweld and make sure he's okay. Rodney and Ratchet have landed on one of the higher up conveyor belts, but they're also low to the point that Cappy cannot reach either of them. Just explaining that now before we get to what I consider the climax's climax:

Angry beyond all reason, Ratchet essentially flies off the handle, whaling on Rodney with anything he can grab, like a hammer, wrench, thin pipe, whatever, and Rodney tries to stop him and defend himself. Ratchet only shouts about how Rodney ruined everything, being a stupid kid who's slowly falling apart and can't scrape up enough to even build himself into something better. Wonderbot does try helping, but is backhanded away, though Rodney is able to kick Ratchet back and try running. Ratchet only knocks him back down again

Basically put, Ratchet goes Ratigan and just wants Rodney dead. It's nit a completely one sided fight, as Rodney, is getting a few hits in and taking advantage of bith his stronger, "outdated" metal to keep from getting his face smashed in, and the thinner, less reliable upgrade metal Ratchet has, both weakening Ratchet, and riling him up further. At one point in their scuffle, Ratchet has Rodney on his back again with the two having that sort of "push 'contest'" where there's a bar/pipe between them and while one's pushing down two kill the other, the other is pushing up to not die, Ratchet says he should have taken care of Rodney the first chance he had, maybe even thrown him out of the window without his little dishwashing invention so he wouldn't be a problem in Ratchet's city

Rodeny, who's been beaten to high hell, shouts that the city isn't Ratchet's, never has been and never will be, and he does a risky move after saying that, having seen where one conveyor belt meets another, by having the wheels catch Ratchet's arm, just enough to get him to let go of Rodney.

The two have one final stand off, both beaten tired, and with their metal and bodied badly damaged. Ratchet has armed himself with a hammer, ready to smash Rodney to pieces once he moves, but Rodney, is unarmed, refusing to take a wrench Wonderbot is trying to give him, and even looking at a picture of his parents and Cappy and his friends he's got in his arm compartment.

Ratchet admits he probably won't have the city, won't have Bigweld Industries, and won't have every outmode either melted down or looking as shiny as he is, but he can at least have the satisfaction of getting rid of Rodney himself, which is a shame because he really could've used somone as inventive as Bigweld, but easier to push around. Rodney, seeing that the two are DANGEROUSLY close to the flames meant to melt down metal, only tells Ratchet that he'd rather be himself than anything like Ratchet, saying so as he runs forward and tackles Ratchet off the conveyor belt

It leads to the two also smalling into the wall and falling onto the new metal conveyor belt. Ratchet is down for the count while Rodney has enough energy to at least push himself up. AT LEAST, until the conveyor belt doors slam with him caught between them

It causes MANY robots to scream, especially as they see Rodney fall out of the doors once they're open again. Everyone swarms to get Ratchet and Gasket and get the two out and arrested, as they are responsible for mass murder, and to see Rodney, Cappy pushing and rushing through the crowd and shouting for everyone to let her through. Fender stops her, not wanting her to see how badly damaged Rodney really is. Cappy still shouts for him to let her go and let her see Rodney.

Camera poc, there are glimpses of Rodney as people swarm around, all quiet and asking if he's dead or not. Cappy ultimately breaks free and gets to her childhood friend, and freezes once she does.

Rodney is HORRIBLY broken apart, having been nearly been broken in half by the doors. The fight had left one arm broken to the point the covering has come off. Much of his body had been badly dentes, but now it's tenfold. He has had an eye broken in the fight, his mohawk is broken and he's almost completely covered in grease(not blood, relax). His legs were also fairly damaged, but more more than the other; he would have been limping before the door slammed on him. It's enough to make Cappy fall to her knees and hold Rodney close to her, in shock and refusing to let him go as the outmodes try to get the two to move. Camera pov again, Rodney's hand twitches and the screen fades, giving a small hint that he is alive

We see it's true when Rodney comes to in his house, back home, in HORRIBLE pain and having some trouble seeing clearly. He sees his parents sitting close by and when they twarfully ask how he is, he admits he feels awful, having had the most screwed up dream ever and not being able to move very well, so he'll have to call in and try to get a day off. Rodney's mother cries as she holds Rodney's hand, though Rodney's father just looks away for a moment before asking Rodney what he remembers last

Rodney, confused, basically says he left for Bigweld city, but the city was being taken over by someone who wanted to destroy outmodes and make everyone upgraded, but Rodney and the outmodes stopped the robot responsible

Before either of his parents can speak, Rodney is tapped on the shoulder and he looks over to see Fender, who asks Rodney how he slept and if his fabulous new legs were in that dream of his. Rodney realizes that, yeah, NONE of it was a dream and sits up to hug his parents and Fender, crying because of everything that happened and because he's home and ALIVE

Fender, who's getting misty eyed himself, tells Rodney not to get too weepy when he's got some repairs done, including a new eye that they don't want fogging up yet, and he's got a special someone to introduce his parents to, and it's not Rodney's polished girlfriend

With some help getting up, Rodney, his parents, and Fender all walk outside, where Rodney sees both the bots from the city and his friends hanging out when the boys from his hometown, even seeing Bigweld talk to Aunt Fanny because I think they're damn cute. Also out and about, but not talking to anyone is Cappy, who's holding a dejected Wonderbot in her hands. That changes when Wonderbot lights up upon seeing Rodney and flying over to him as fast as possible, maybe even using his wire(?) Arms and legs to hug Rodney before lightly bonking him on the head for almost getting himself killed. Cappy is utterly speechless, even while Rodney fumbles over himself apologizing to her, but Cappy hugs him, which he reciprocates because he really needs a hug

The two only break their hug when Bigweld comes in to check on Rodney and see how he's doing, seeing as he's up and moving. He's asking because he's got an announcement:

He's come all the way to the small town to personally announce the remaking and redistribution of spare parts for all robots and, once he's all healed up and himself again, he's hiring Rodeny to work for him and, when Bigweld retires, will make Rodney his successor, if Rodney would like to be. Rodney asks if that should go to Cappy instead, and Cappy, a little cheery, asks Rodney who he thinks gave Bigweld the idea to hire Rodney in the first place. Bigweld also jokingly chides Rodney and tells him to respect the new leader of his industry, though she'll be acting more as his assistant manager or something

It's all good news, and when Rodney looks to his parents, they're HELLA proud of him and they tell him. Rodney does falter for a second in agreeing, but it's ultimately his parents's approval and the mostly silent encouragement from everyone that gets him to agree(it's not peer pressure, don't worry). It's also some encouragement from Rodney's father that helps, said encouragement being that his father didn't necessarily get to go after what had been his dream, a chance he doesn't want Rodney to miss by any means. When Rodney points out how His father could still have time to pursue his dream, his father only tells Rodney that Rodney himself is that dream, telling his son that he's always made him proud and he just knows that Rodney will continue doing doing great things. The two hug and there is the stipulation that Rodney NOT get himself nearly killed in his line of work again, but still. Happy serotonin all around

After agreeing, it's celebrating all around, though, Cappy pulls Rodney away after a while so the two can get some quiet time. Admittedly, she's a little upset, but more at the fact she almost lost her best friend. Rodney apologizes, as that was one of his dumber ideas, but right as he goes to promise he won't do anything stupid like that again, he stops himself, and he and Cappy kiss. Fender, Piper, and the other Robot City friends see it, Lug trying not to cry, Piper and Crank being fairly impressed, Diesel being shocked before turning to give them some privacy, and Fender giving a, "not bad," at the scene

Diesel does shoo everyone away with Wonderbot's help, but the kiss leaves Rodney with some trouble standing, as he still isn't used to his new legs yet, maybe even asking how Fender got used to his new legs so fast. Cappy just tells him not to worry about it and just stays by Rodney's side, though does remind him that he owes her that date more than ever now. Rodney, remembering their agreement, wishes her well in finding him something that will go with is mish-moshed parts. It's supposed to be a cute, sweet ending where we don't think about the horrible trauma the characters must have from the story's events, and wrap up on a happy note as Rodney and Cappy kiss again, though Rodney surprises her by picking her up and spinning her around, making them both laugh even when they inevitably fall down; Cappy is unharmed because she lands on Rodney, who is also unharmed

In true 2005 fashion, the ending has a dance sequence, because why not, with the characters cutting a rug and being silly, maybe even a cut of Gasket and Ratchet, if he survived, sitting in prison scowling in their defeat while Ratchet's father is dancing along as well

The ending shot is of a picture taken of nearly everyone together, though it does turn into a freeze frame as the credits roll

AND THAT WAS A PG-13 TAKE ON ROBOTS!!! I really hope you guys liked this 3-parter, sorry if this last part got a little intense, I had a certain image in my head that I just had to share with the rest of you, and this was honestly my way of putting context to that image

Not saying what that image was, but I'm sure you can guess😁

Fr, I hope you enjoyed and thank you for reading this!!!
