High School; Woes and Foes

Chapter 3; Robot Mania
It had been one week since the Polaris had been destroyed. The Bloodletter was hiding on the dark side of the moon, away from prying eyes on the surface. Repair droids scuttled across its hull, resembling flies on a carcass. Vilgax had been greatly injured when the Polaris had destroyed his bridge. Now, stuck in the Bloodletter's medical bay, his arms blown off from the bridges' destruction, Vilgax had been ordering his army of robots to obverse the signal of the Omitrix.
"Sir," A random robot said. "We have something to tell you."
Vilgax groaned. "What is it?!" He growled. "This had better be about the Omitrix, or your head will be put in the scrapper!"
The robot seemed to hesitate, and then said, "Although we have been following your orders to the letter, we have noticed an anomaly with the Omitrix's energy readings."
"Anomaly?"
"We seem to be receiving a signal that suggests that there is a second Omitrix on planet Terra, my lord."
Silence, then…
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN A SECOND OMITRIX?" Roared Vilgax.
The robot cowered in the furious war lord's wake, stuttering, "S-sir, we d-don't know w-why were getting these re-readings."
"THERE WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE A SECOND ONE!" Vilgax continued. "YOU FAILED ME AGAIN, E3-A1!"
"Please sir!" E3-A1 begged. "Give me…"
E3-A1 however, didn't get to finish his sentence. A security turret popped out from the ceiling, and proceeded to blast the poor robot to pieces. When it was done, the only thing that remained of E3-A1 was a couple pieces of scrap metal, which several cleaning droids promptly began to clean up. Vilgax, satisfied, turned his head to a nearby robot. "You!" he ordered. "State your identification number!"
The robot hesitated, processing the chances that he might get the same treatment that E3-A1 received if he answered wrong, then replied. "J9-T50, my lord."
"Send out Alpha-Nine-Two squad to investigate this second Omitrix signal," he commanded. "I want a full report within four units, or you will suffer the consequences!"

Robert H. High School
One week after meteor crash
School had just let out for the day, and a good number of students and teachers had gone home for some much needed rest and relaxation. However, in Mr. Evans room, Jack, Nicole, and Mr. Evans were sitting down and discussing about the watch on Jack's wrist. "Any luck figuring out what it is?" Jack asked Mr. Evans.
"Not yet," the teacher responded. "But the question should be, have you been messing with the watch?"
At this, Jack squirmed a bit in his seat before replying, "Yeah, a little."
Mr. Evans and Nicole groaned. "Jack," Nicole said. "Mr. Evans said not to fiddle with the watch until we figure out…"
"I know what he said," Jack interrupted. "But what if that bad guy who made the watch crash in the school comes looking for it? The way I see it, I have to learn how to use this thing in case he finds me."
Silence followed at that remark. Finally, Mr. Evans asked, "Is that mummy thing the only guy you got?"
Jack shook his head. "No, I got sixteen other aliens on this watch. I've been testing their abilities over the past week."
Nicole's eyes widened. "Sixteen?" she asked.
"Yup," Jack answered. "One guy can run really fast, another guy looks like Frankenstein's Monster and can shoot electricity, There's a creature made of crystals, and one that can shoot fire out of his body." He grinned a bit, before continuing, "And that's probably only the tip of the iceberg. Who knows what else this watch can do?"
"I don't know, "Mr. Evans said. "But I'd be careful with that watch. There could be a self destruct mode on that thing."
"Yeah, you're right," Jack answered. "But I'm beginning to think that this will be a very interesting school year." At this comment, Jack got up and slung his tan backpack over his shoulder. Nicole followed suit, saying, "Well, I got to go home. See you tomorrow Mr. Evans."
"Bye," Mr. Evans said. "Be careful on the way home!"
Over Earth's orbit, the Bloodletter stopped and opened a hanger underneath the bridge. Several odd disc-shaped objects flew out and began their descent to Earth, their target, St. Louis, Missouri. After the last of the six discs left the hanger, the Bloodletter turned around and began heading back to the moon to wait for the report from the robots about the second Omitrix signal.
Jack and Nicole, who were walking home together, didn't notice the six fireballs in the sky until they heard a distant roar coming from the meteors. As they looked up at the sky to see what was making the noise, the six meteors, suddenly changed direction and crashed into the ground around them. As the dust settled, the six meteors turned out to be six disc shaped robots, floating above the ground like miniature UFO's.
"What the?" Jack asked, completely bewildered by the turn of events.
"OMITRIX SIGNAL DETECED," one of the robots said. "Commencing host extermination."
"'Omitrix?'" Nicole asked.
"'Host extermination?" Jack said.
Just then, the robot's pulled out several lethal looking weapons, the whine of lasers charging beginning to fill the air. Jack then realized what was going on. "Run!" He yelled to Nicole, and the two students turned around and began to run for their lives. Just in time to, as the robots fired their lasers were the duo had been standing seconds earlier.
Jack and Nicole rounded a corner, desperately trying to escape the six killing machines behind them. Said robots however, weren't having any problems keeping up with the two. Every now and then, one of the robots would fire their laser beam at Jack and Nicole, only it would miss by inches. "Come on, Jack!" Nicole screamed. "Turn into something, anything!"
"Way ahead of you!" Jack yelled back, slamming his hand on the watch's face. Instantly, Jacks' limbs began to become more sleek and aerodynamic. Black and white body armor covered his torso, legs, and arms. His skin was turning into an electric blue color. When the transformation was over, a blue reptilian humanoid stood in front of Nicole. The lizard creature grabbed Nicole and threw her on his back before saying, "Hang on!"
In a blink of an eye, Jack was running at super sonic speeds, his new face protected from the harsh winds by a face mask. Before Nicole knew it, Jack had ran into a garage and set her back on the ground. Wobbly legged; she sat down on the ground. "So, are you going to give this guy a name?" She asked.
"I was thinking Accelerate," Jack responded. "Now sit tight. I got robot butt to kick." With that, Accelerate, ran off to face the robots.
Almost instantly, two robots were brought down, their insides ripped open by Accelerate's scissor like hands. One robot fired its laser, but the reptile humanoid easily avoided the blast and jumped on top of the robot, his weight threw the disc shaped machine into the ground. Before the other's had time to react, two more were brought down. The last one seemed to have second thoughts, and tried to fly away from the speedy lizard. "Oh, no you don't!" Accelerate said.
Accelerate began chasing the robot, quickly gaining ground. Then, he jumped into the air, and sliced the robot with his hands. The machine sputtered, then fell and crashed into the ground, its drive systems cut open. Accelerate's face mask retreated back into his helmet, letting the sunlight hit his yellow eyes. "See ya," he said, "Wouldn't wanna be ya!"
"Jack! One's getting away!" Nicole yelled behind him. Accelerate turned around to see that the robot he kicked to the ground earlier was indeed escaping, the bottom portion of its body bent and out of shape. It was to far away now for him to give chase. "Let it go," Accelerate said to Nicole. "It's not in any condition to fight."
As Accelerate finished his sentence, the watch's symbol that was on his chest, began beeping and flashing red. After four beeps, a red flash of light covered Accelerate, and when it disappeared Jack was back in his human form. Nicole rushed over to him, checking to see if he was alright. Jack looked up as the robot slowly disappeared in the sky, and asked to no one in particular, "What was that all about?"
"Lord Vilgax," J9-T50 reported. "The last survivor of Alpha-Nine-Two squad has returned."
"Last survivor?" Vilgax said. "So it's true that there is a second Omitrix."
"Yes sir," J9 said. "Most of Drone Y-670's recording systems have been damaged in the battle, but we do have one photo of the second Omitrix wielder." At this, a holoscreen popped up in front of Vilgax's medical tube. A picture of Accelerate slicing one of the Drones in half flashed onto the screen. Vilgax's eyes narrowed, studying the photo heavily. "So," Vilgax said. "There is a second Omitrix. No matter, I deal with its holder soon enough."
