Prologue

The large blur flew through the air. He was better than Superman. He was faster than the fastest cheetah. Stronger than the strongest tiger's paw. More clever than the smartest jaguar. As stealthy as the stealthiest panther. Braver than the bravest leopard, and nobler than the most noble lion in the world. His mission was clear. As the wind and the needle sharp ice stung his face, he knew that he must go now. The sharp clang as the ice and rain combination pelted his metallic over armor, the voice in his head muffled. Almost there. The mission is not as easy as said. The target must be dead and so must the creator. Complete this task and you will be named king of our planet with the highest honors. Good luck and remember: bring the targets' bodies back to me. He heard the voice rasp in his head like a nail against a chalkboard. He swooped down. He was going faster than the speed of light. Down, down, down……with a ginormous boom, He was sent into the Earth. Through the mantel, he was already on his way to the outer core. It was getting hotter and hotter. The metal armor was getting progressively hot until he hit the inner core. The heat was intense there. That's it. Gain energy from the molten rock and fire. They won't stand a chance against you. He felt the heat rising. He started his rockets. Good job, now go get them. Do not destroy the earth. You are our final chance before we attack Earth. If you do not succeed, then drive down to the inner core and blow the Earth up immediately. Do not forget to kill her. Do not forget to kill XJ-9. He knew he could do it. He was the one. He was JB-8.5. He flew up the way he came down. He thought about his mission until he got to the surface. Death for XJ-9 was essential. He was essential.
