Story
Story
Gubble D. Gleep was enjoying a deep sleep when a roaring noise shattered his peace. A strange flying saucer appeared, turned him into small particles, and transported him to an unknown land.
When Gubble awoke, he found himself in a disagreeable land with an unearthly scene. A strange robot stood directly in front of him.
Gubble, who had very big ears, was displeased that the robot had no ears. The robot spoke, "Welcome Mr Gubble D. Gloop. Are you prepared to fulfill your duty?"
Gubble disliked two things. He asked, "Where are your ears, stupid?" The robot, perhaps not programmed for such language, spouted smoke and retorted, "Forget about my ears. Are you prepared to fulfill your duty?" Gubble thought it a very stubborn robot.
He then questioned something else he disliked: "My name is not Gubble D. Gloop; it is Gubble D. Gleep." The robot, still blowing smoke, shouted, "What? The wrong person?!"
Gubble, fed up, unknowingly fell asleep. The robot violently shook him awake. "Can't be helped. It's too much trouble to go back and look again. You will fulfill the duty. OK?"
Gubble thought about it. He didn't like the thought of being turned into small particles again. It seemed this condition couldn't be helped, so he reluctantly listened to the robot.
The robot began explaining: "Your task is to go to the planet Rennigar and remove the screws from the zymbots." Gubble was confused, not understanding.
The robot clarified, "What I Am Saying Is! Space pirates have fastened the zymbots down with screws and nails. Release them!" An unpleasant silence followed.
Next, Gubble was mercilessly transported to another unknown location. The robot's parting words were "Good Luck."
When he came to, many gears closed around him, making eerie noises as they moved.
