Chapter 2: A CHALLENGER APPEARS!

(PSN) at times it may change to first person view and may eventually end up being 100% FPV (First person view) because... you'll see :D

(A few days before chapter 1)

A wonderful day it was, for everyone in Tremorton high knew that this was one of the last days of school. Quite the odd time for a new student to show up. Though he attended all the classes left of the year and he got decent grades so no one really noticed the difference.

Being completely ignored by everyone as they had their plans for the holidays didn't effect him anyway. When Biology class came up the teacher stood up and said "Hi all, although this is the end of the scholastic year we have a new student. The transfer was caused due to the fact that his old one was burnt down. Please enter Rick Steward."

The pine wood door slowly opened to reveal a six foot seven inch tall male figure. He had short blond spiked hair at the front that was at about a 45 degree angle, the rest of the hair on the scalp slowly reduced in the angle. He had his hair covering his ears and a V shape down near the neck. Slightly tanned skin and green eyes with a decent figure, wearing a black t-shirt and blue 3/4 jeans and normal training shoes.

FPV:

I looked around the class, it was annoying to be stared at so I looked around for an empty seat in the middle and got out my books. I looked around the class and noticed that two girls seemed to be those snobbish kind and made a personal reminder to avoid them. I later learnt thanks to role-call that their names were Brit and Tiff Crust, also know as the Crust Cousins or Crust Twins. My attention once turned back to the board as the teacher started to give us the lecture about chromosomes... yay.

As I was about to fall asleep due to the fact that all I was hearing were the number of chromosomes in each organism, how retardation is caused by 1 more or less chromosome and learn that's why the can't reproduce, the amount in a fruit fly and other organisms the brass bell finally rings, though being right near our class I thought my ears were going to blow. I didn't do much at lunch, just checked out the selection at the cafeteria and saw nothing that I liked. Hell even if they did then they'd probably have done a shit job of it, never liked school food.

Thankfully I got my own supply of Dr. Pepper and couple of varying sammiches (yes I said that one on purpose). I find a table and decide to sit. The local jock comes up behind me and says "Gimme you're lunch money newbie." I turn around and say "Sorry don't have, got a packed lunch today." though unwilling to leave empty handed he persists "Alright, then what do you have?" "Umm, a half eaten sandwich and a quarter left of my Dr. Pepper." I lied "Alright, I'll take the drink" he claims and soon as his fist comes into view my right hand grabs his fist and turns his arm a nice 180 degrees and gets him in an officer's hold "Listen here bitch, I may be new but you're gonna fuck off unless you wish to have a few broken bones and torn ligaments" I whispered in his ear with total malice "Well FUCK YOU!" he shouted getting everyone's attention "Nice move" I say and twist his arm a little bit more and force him on his knees.

After witch I drop my sandwich from my left hand, grab his other arm and put my foot on his back. I pull with both my arms straining his back to the limit, I realise this because he starts to shout obscene words at me. "LISTEN HERE YOU WORTHLESS FUCK, SHUT UP OR YOU'LL BE IN A WHEEL CHAIR FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. NOT LIKE YOU'LL DO ANYTHING BUT BE A STREET SWEEPER WITH YOUR INTELLECT" I shout at him.

With this he stops and slackens a bit "Well sorry to bring the harsh reality crashing down on your fragile ego" I say I pull my leg up a bit releasing the strain on his back, lift it high as I can and send my heel crashing down on his forehead. I grab my things and leave with everyone staring at me or at least I try to leave, some of the bystanders turn out to be the jock's friends... whop dee do for me.

They come rushing at me, about three of them. With my bag slung on my back I jump and get one foot on the edge of a table and jump again allowing to twist my body in order to give a good face kick to another jock. I hear a small crunching sound as I land on my back and remember that I have 2 other bottles of in my back. I reach out for one as I get up shake it hard and fast as I can and open it spraying the contents into the face of another one and I throw the contents of the bottle onto him. I feel a great force on the side of my ribs and realise that there's still the other one.

I'm thrown off my feet and slide down a bit "Well fuck shouldn't have focused on just one." I mumbled. Thankfully I hear him yelping in pain, I sit up and find out that a metallic robot is actually helping me. The soaked jock comes running at me, I crouch down at my lowest, grab the top part of his t-shirt and his belt. With the help of his momentum I send him crashing down, face first into the floor. A loud crack and a few sobs allow me to realise that I broke his nose, maybe even crush it. I don't really care, fuckers should not have messed with me.

At the last moment, the robot girl finally finishes off the last jock with a good uppercut sending him in a trash can. But then a teacher comes in, expecting a normal cafeteria and wanting some of the new pudding the place had. Yet this was the principle and was in total shock for he saw me sending one of his students down on the floor face first. At the top of his voice he screams "WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!" he shouted. "Hmm, this doesn't seem like it can get much worse." I mumble with that I remember that every time some one says that it always does. I feel something very hard making contact with the back of my skull, for that one moment I'm thankful that it's not a sharp object because probably it would have killed me. All I see is the robot girl's face in total dismay and the world turns black.

I attempt to wake up a few times and realise that I'm being dragged somewhere. At the bottom, holding my legs is a red haired guy. The second time I see the robot girl holding my torso up. Yet this comes to no avail as I lose conciousness.

I wake up a bit later with quite a few bandages and ice packs on me. "Ugh" I moan as I realise that now I'm going to be in a world of hurt. Though I don't remember being hit more than twice. To make things worse there's an officer near me, it's sunset meaning I've been out for longer than I wish I would have been. I hear someone clearing their throat, it's the officer "Mr Steward" he says "Do you know that you've nearly broken some one's arm, hit the temple of another person (temple is just next to your eyes, a very fragile bone and an important vein near it that if the bone breaks the fragment could go in the vein and kill another person) do you?" he said in an ominous voice

"Mmph" is all I can manage to say with drowsy eyes. "Please officer, leave you may speak with him soon as he is in shape to do anything. You've interrogating him before he can even sit up!" the nurse exclaimed.

"Well maybe another day Mr Steward but I will say that you're in knee deep shit" the officer said. With that he left.

"Mr. Steward, you may be wondering why you have more ice packs and injures than you can remember. Reason being is that I was told that you were continued to be beaten even after you lost conciousness."

"Ugh, great. Next time I'll show no mercy to those bastards." I mumbled

"Oh no need for that, one of them has a near-fractured arm causing a tear in his muscles of both arms rendering them useless for a couple o' weeks while the other one is in an ICU (Intensive Care Unit) awaiting his nose bone to stop sticking out of his skin and have it re-constructed so you're not going to see those two for a while. The others only have mild bruises so you may wreck vengeance upon them. Though I wouldn't suggest it, before you even leave here Principle's gonna have a word with you. If you want you can stay here is what I'd suggest, if you give me your home number I'll call your parents to tell 'em you'll be staying here for the night at least." She offered

"Oh no thanks I'll manage my way home." I said yet soon as I attempted to get up pain surged through my. I grimaced and continued to fight the urge to yelp and fall back down. The nurse raised an eyebrow noticing that I was in pain and said "Well by the looks of it I should get my phone ready." I had an advanced medical kit at my house that would take care of such petty (yet numerous) injuries so I decided to ask for some help.

"Hey look, think you can give me a lift home? I've got some stuff back there that should seriously help me get better. Plus I dislike the idea of waking up back at school knowing that the jocks are so close to me. No one knows where I live so I feel safer there." I also added "think you can tell the secretary not to give my personal info to anyone 'cept for the robot girl and that red haired dude will ya?" I finally managed to sit up and started to hide my pain. With a sigh the nurse said "Alright, come with me. Also I'll tell the secretary tomorrow alright?" "Okay" I replied happy to get out.

After ten minutes of driving we arrived at a rather large house. Larger than the average house but smaller than Mrs. Wakeman's place. "Alright here we are, thanks a real lot!" I told the nurse. "Okay, look if you can't make it tomorrow call me when you wake up and I'll tell them that you can't make it due to your injuries." "Okay, thanks a lot. I'll find a way to repay you." I said and rushed out happy to be home.

It stood at a nice two story tall building made out of old stone giving it a nice and different look than all the new perfect looking houses. It was also on the top of a smaller hill with another covering it so no one can see my house. For privacy and protective reasons. Also gives a bitchin' view in the morning.

I opened the heavy oak double doors to run up to my room and get out my medical kit. I got out the anti-bruise paste that's basically extra cold with anaesthetic to remove most of the feeling of the cold. This is done to reduce the blood pressure on the injured parts and greatly increase recovery rate. I removed my old bandages only to reveal many deep purple shades on my skin, I gimaced at the brutality and promised vengeance upon those who did this to me. After applying the cream and fresh bandages I already started to feel the pain ebbing away.

In my pocket I found a paper and a packet. The paper had two numbers that I didn't recognise and the packet was some serious pan killer. On it was scribbled "Take one before you sleep. Be sure to eat something first though - Nurse". With reading that I realised that I was pretty hungry, so I went down to the kitchen. Due to the medication I felt somewhat sluggish so I just got a frozen pizza and shoved it in the oven for 13 minutes on the timer. Then I went and watched some "Discovery Channel" . My phone started to ring and I got a bit of a fright because last time I checked no one even knew my name, save for the bio class. Let alone my phone number.

"Hello?" I asked

"It's me, Brad I'm the guy that helped Jenny drag you off to the nurse. No one answered at the school so I searched up your name and found you on the phone book." He said

"Oh, hi man. Thanks alot for getting me there." I said

"No worries, anyway Jenny's the robot that helped you out during the fight and gettin' ya to the nurse."

"Oh, cool. Didn't know that robots were out on the streets these days." I said

"Yeah, well she's the first one I met aside from some others." he replied "Anyway what was all that shit going on back at the caf? I mean I saw you preforming that face crushing throw that was hard core man but, shit what caused you to do that dude?"

I told him about how that jock started pissing me off. Though it was not the worst I could do, if they annoy me next time I come to school they will not just have a few bruises.

"Well anyway dude, Jenny probably wants to know how you are so I'll cut. She's still awake try calling her. Her number is the bottom one on the paper I shoved in your pocket just before we left the nurse's office." Brad said

"Oh so that's what they were. Alright thanks man, see you in a couple of days." I replied

"Night man" He said

And the line died.

Soon as I cut I realised that there was my pizza in the oven, thankfully it automatically turned off so no burnt pizza for me! I added some honey, salt and olive oil the the margarita sat down and proceeded to eat it. Soon enough it was gone and I was pleased. After I wiped my mouth and shoved the plate in the sink, I picked up the phone and punched in the other number.

"Hello, missis Wakemen speaking. How can I help you?" Inquired the mother I'd say. It had quite the strong accent to it compared to every one else's. I decided to drop that matter and asked for Jenny.

"Oh you mean JX-9?" She said (mind you due to the accent she pronounced it ex-jay-nayun)

"Umm yes." I replied

Moments later I hear a familiar voice.

"Hello?" she asked with a hint of caution

"Hi it's me Rick Steward. The new kid."

"Oh hi, I'm Jenny don't mind my mother she always calls me by my manufactured name." she said

"Manufactured name?" I asked

"Umm, yes I'm the ninth of the JX series. There's one to eight before me all in order from childhood to teen thus far. All my memories are backed up as I move to a new model so I don't have to stay learning everything again." she mentioned in a casual tone

"Woah awesome, I'm quite the good metal worker my self but nowhere close to making robots. Though if there's something small I wouldn't mind filling up my time with something to do." I said.

Anyway we got to know each other a bit more and decided to meet at a place called mesmers in a few days. She also said that Brad, Tuck (who she said was Brad's younger brother) and herself wouldn't mind showing me around town.

"Sure why not? If I'm gonna meet you somewhere I gotta know this place eventually." I said

"Oh by the way I'm probably not gonna come to school tomorrow due to my injuries and the fact that these pain killers are meant to be pretty hard on you. So if you want maybe some time you can pass by. I live on the outskirts on the small hill south of the school." I added

"Well hope you get better soon" she said with great concern in her voice

"Much appreciated, now if you'll excuse me I got some meds to take" I said

The line cut I did as I just told her and stumbled to my room and threw my self onto my double queen bed. (2 Queen mattresses thrown together with 2 frames connecting each other for a MASSIVE bed :3)

I woke up the next morning because of my alarm. When I tried to get up I winced and fell back down. Seems like it got worse instead of better. "Oh well" I shrugged and reached for the phone.

"Hello, Trem High how can I help you?" I was greeted by a secretary

"Hi this is Rick Steward, think you can pass me to the nurse's office?"

"Right away."

A few moments later

"Hi Nurse's office, how can I help you?"

"Hi it's me Rick, just called in to say I'm not coming in today danm bruises seemed to have gotton worse if anything." I mumbled

"It's okay, that always happens when they're at your degree. Just continue with the ice and by Friday you should be back to normal." She said

"Okay, I'll probably manage to come tomorrow though." I said

"Alright, I'll inform the teachers" she said

"Okay, thanks alot" I said

"Bye"

and the line cut.

AN: Hey guess I did all this in one day. I can't promise that I'll keep this pace but I'll try and do more when I can. Also as you may already notice Rick Steward isn't of the original series for he is my character. Also I'll try and get chapter 3 to link 1 and 2 together. Also this is just the start of the violence later on I shall keep my word and fulfil your gore filled fantasies. Read and Review if you can because I love reviews and also I guess you can help me out in what I may be doing wrong that I'm not noticing.

Thanks alot for reading :3
