Disclaimer. I own neither Victorious, or Scott Pilgrim. I don't own any of the characters I use in this story, and probably treat them worse than the original owner does. Heck, I don't even own the plot, I just twisted it up a bit.
Honestly, Robbie's always been portrayed as a bit of a wimp, even when he takes a beating like no one else. He's going to have to be a different kind of hero to win the day, this time.

Robbie Shapiro Verses the World (Not quite)
Prolog.
It all started the day Gideon Gordon Graves started at Hollywood Arts. The Grave's were old money, with many deep investments in various enterprises. That money gave Gideon, or G-Man as he liked to be called, the freedom to start clubs with no concerns as to whether they made money or not. And that kind of freedom made him a minor star maker. It also made him party, which in turn caused him to need an extra year or two to graduate, as well as a new school, since he was expelled from his last one for missing too many days.
So one day his father, upset that the boy had yet to graduate high school, arranged for him to spend his second try of his senior year at Hollywood Arts. Once G-Man arrived, he immediately set about making the environment more to his liking. Since he had influence, he was usually able to get his way. And his way was to decide what was cool, and if something didn't fit, it was out. Instantly several cool kids were outcasts, while others found their lives turned upside down.
G-Man liked Cat. He loved the way she sang, and thought she was delightfully dumb. Cat was the type of girl he could make a star, and keep total control of, so he decided she'd be his girlfriend. Once that decision was made, the others of the so called "Main people" were trimmed, with Jade and Robbie being seen as too weird (Or scary) to fit in with G-Man's image. Beck was close to what G-man considered the perfect male friend, so Gideon kept him, and arranged for him to date the equally acceptable Tori Vega. Naturally, Jade didn't take that very well.
Jade spent her two weeks suspension fuming, but couldn't do anything without getting expelled. She just kept her distance, and watched. Her anger grew to the point where she was scaring the staff, and as a result there was a second cop stations on campus, just to watch the goth.
Robbie was in a much worse place. His usual friends, like Sinjin and Burf, were afraid to make an enemy of someone who could hurt their chances of working. Gideon could hire them to do tech work in one of his clubs, or blacklist them. He was still a student, but now he was an outcast among even the weird and outcast of the school.
As far as Robbie was concerned, though, Andre had it worst of all, save for Trina. While Tori and Beck were scared for their careers, the musician was just scared. G-Man liked having Andre around, but it was the tough looking people that G-Man associated with that had Andre jumping. When Ryder (Of all people) objected to G-Man having Trina kicked out for having no talent, Ryder was assaulted and hospitalized. Everyone knew who'd done it, but with a couple of corrupt officers help, there was no evidence, and G-man filled the open spaces at Hollywood Arts with his own "Cool" friends.
So Robbie, along with Rex, sat alone at what was now called the Outcasts table, fuming. G-Man got whatever he wanted. He wanted to trim the cool kids, and he'd gotten rid of anyone who didn't fit his ideal of cool. He'd wanted Jade to back off, and leave the cool kids alone, and so far he'd succeeded. And he wanted Cat.
Robbie was sure that, if he could just talk to her, maybe Cat would be willing to date someone less demanding. Robbie also suspected Gideon hit her when she annoyed him. Robbie knew the G-Man was bad news, cause Gideon was just like Rex, only more so. But all he could do was sit and watch. What could he do, anyways. Robbie suspected that the G-Man wasn't that tough, but knew his friends were. And to get to Cat, he'd have to somehow take out each of Gideon's lackeys, however many of them there were.
He needed help. Smart people. Tough people. People who cared about Cat, or at least wanted revenge. While he couldn't count on anyone, he did hope that, once he'd shown that Gideon had some weak points, some of those who cared about C at would help, and maybe they could beat the G-Man and save her. A Plan was forming in Robbie's mind. It was risky, and had no guarantees, but if everything went right, and they got incredibly lucky, then maybe he could save Cat from being just another of Gideon Gordon Grave's toys.
It was a long long shot, but far better than not doing anything at all.
He pulled out his pear Pad, and started making plans.

This isn't my best work, and it's kind of silly, but I do hope people enjoy it. No, Robbie's not going to pull a Scott Pilgrim and suddenly be this top level fighter. But he's still the hero. I hope someone likes it.
Story won't be that long.
