Chapter 1

Jenny sighed as she walked out of Tremorten high. "Hey, Jen! Wait up!" A voice called behind her. She turned her metal body with a creak to see her neighbor and best-friend, Brad, running towards her. He stopped to walk next to her and her brushed his red hair out of his face. "Can you believe that science test today? It was way too hard! I'm gonna fail!" He groaned. Jenny smiled. "I know! I only knew, what, seven of the answers?" she agreed. "Why yes, Tiffany, these are new boots. I love your new shirt." An arrogant voice bragged loudly. Jenny and Brad craned their necks to see Brit and Tiff, the Crust cousins, bragging about their new clothes. They were the most popular girls in the school. Jenny rolled her eyes. She gasped as she saw a large blur speed across the sky so fast she almost didn't see it. She went back to her memory, slowed it down, and still saw the same blur. She couldn't seem to get the best image. They were all blurry. A loud boom blasted her out of her thoughts. "Jen! What was that?" Brad asked, his voice shaky. Before Jenny cold answer, her chest piece cut in half and out slid her mother on the pc screen. "XJ-9, an unidentified object just landed in south Tremorten." Her mother growled. Brad looked in. "Like a ufo?" He asked. Nora shook her head. Jenny cut in. "I saw the same thing a few moments ago. I saw something shoot through the sky, but even if I slowed it down a trillion times, it moved just as fast with the same blur." She remarked. Nora had a confused look on her face. "XJ-9, I want you to go and check it out, but be careful." She added. Jenny nodded. She switched out her rockets as the pc shoved itself back in and flew towards where she saw the blur land. She winced as she saw the large hole in the Earth. Before she could investigate, the blur shot to the surface. All of the liquid in Jenny froze up. She looked and saw that this was like a mutant. He was a boy, maybe a bit older than Brad. He had spiky, long black hair. He had blood red armor. His claws were a foot and a half long and there were three on each hand. They reminded Jenny of wolverine. She looked up at his face. It was shadowed and the only things she could see were his icy blue eyes. Hew jumped and before Jenny could move, landed on her. He sliced all six of his claws into her and raked them down her circuits. "Who is this?" She growled. He sliced his claws down her and she screeched. "Death." She heard him rasp. Jenny could barely see. His claws slice through her hard metal like a knife through butter. Soft butter. She pushed him off and flew away as fast as she could. She used a mirror to see that he wasn't following her. Jenny flew into her home and fell on the hard ground at the feet of Brad and her mother. Nora gasped and Brad cringed. "What happened?" Nora asked as she helped jenny up. Jenny sat on her recovery and charging center. "He's so strong. Death, Death is his name." She said. "But on the underside of his armor, I saw JB-8.5. Mom, we need help to destroy him." Jenny rasped. Nora nodded and hooked Jenny up to the machine. Jenny fell "asleep" and Nora and Brad walked out of the room in a fluster.
