Waterlogged

"Gaaaahhhh!" Dr. Intelligent banged his drone remote on the floor. He stomped on the ground and walked in circles around his room to calm down.

"I'm so sick of that Mac Boy! This is the last thing I need. Why does he even care?" Dr. Intelligent kicked a chair over.

"I can't have these kinds of distractions." He threw it at the wall.

Dr. Intelligent sat down furiously. He snatched some planning paper and started to draw out a new evil plan.

This time, the machine was going to be way too tough to break with a stone slingshot.

"Mac Boy isn't going to get in the way anymore!" Dr. Intelligent said while ordering his parts. Again, after a night of drinking energy drinks, the parts were grinded and put together. A big remote controlled machine stood in his apartment. It's weapon, designed to suck only the crops out of a field, buzzing and gurgling. It was covered in metal, with tracks and tools to tunnel underground, moving fast and quietly.

"Oh my! This turned out way better than I thought!" Dr intelligent stepped back to look at the gigantic machine. "My friend, we're going to take macaroni out once and for all! Hahaha!"

The next day, Dr. Intelligent put the machine behind a few bushes at the border of a farm, half a mile away from his apartment, where tall fences protected the crops.

Beep. He pressed the dig button on his panel in his workshop. He didn't dare go outside to see the machine in action. It was far too powerful and he wasn't going to waste his time fighting with Mac Boy if that little problem turned up.

DRMMMMM! It immediately dug into the ground and started to tunnel beneath a nearby farm. Dr. Intelligent could see a little bump on the ground zooming along through the camera on his computer. Dirt was flying by and the machine was still accelerating. The beast of a machine was fast, and hard to notice, he thought. Perfect.

DRMMMMm. He pressed the button to stop the machine. Suddenly, a mini version scooted out from beneath the machine and shot out to the surface to look around and complete a 360-degree scan.

The tiny robot looked for a flat area, without rocks and just the crops. Sucking rocks into the machine would destroy the machine. For a few minutes, it moved rocks out of the way and stacked them in a pile away from the crops.

"Let's get this machine running." Dr. Intelligent pressed the first button on his controller.

Beep, beep!

All the crops started to spin in a circle, slowly getting pulled into a macaroni blunder.

"There's no way this one could go wrong." Dr intelligent look through the camera of the mini machine. It was brilliant, he thought. All of the macaroni farms would be nothing but patches of dirt by Noon.

"Haha! Look at him!" Dr. Intelligent could see a farmer running towards the disappearing wheat and shouting.

"Stop! What is happening to my farm!" Shouted the farmer. He could hear the man through the robot.

All the crops started the spin so fast that the dirt got pulled in as well! The farmer ran for his life, while the machine ate up everything like a whirlpool.

Suddenly, the irrigation system sprung to life. What would normally be a series of sprinklers dousing the wheat with water turned into a flood as the hoses exploded. The water was pouring into the holes created by Dr. Intelligent's machine, flooding into the underground robot.

"Nononono!" This isn't supposed to do this. Dr. Intelligent pressed the emergency button. Instead of stopping, the machine spun even faster, creating an enormous hole in the ground. He slammed the button over and over again until he could barely use his hand. The heat of the machine grew and it started to smoke. Dr. Intelligent ran outside to be able to see what's going on.

BOOM.

Dr. Intelligent's jaw dropped. He could see a pile of smoke in the distance, dirt showering down from the sky.

Police sirens grew louder and louder. Detectives leaped out of cars and others crowded around to investigate. Dr. Intelligent crept back into his workshop and watched through the camera as they took apart what was left of his precious robot.

As he watched, two eyes became clear. Dr. Intelligent knew those eyes, again. Mac Boy had picked up the camera and looked into it. He seemed quizzical and then spoke, "What do you have against macaroni, Dr. Intelligent? Because no one is going to let you get away with this."

Dr. Intelligent wondered if the boy was right. Macaroni ran the world.

"At least the crops are gone." He sat back in his chair to think. He thought and thought. He couldn't rely on machines to do this job. He needed a weapon that he could use to take macaroni out himself. The robots, well, they could be his army.
