Chapter 9: What Blows Up, Must Cool Down
Wakemans Residence, 8:00 AM
The house, still in one piece after the fun a large handful of Teenage Robots can do, had few robots even awake as it is.
XJ4 was up, felt it was natural for her to cook everyone in the house something to eat, some Flapjack Paned-PanCakes with oily syrup, made of course from flat metals found in Nora's Lab. They would look as such delicious as regular pancakes, even to a Human, but for a Robot was Heaven on a plate.
XJ4 whistles as she mixed the ingredients and started her cooking, while XJ3 on the table by her side just toying with some of the pancake mix's that XJ4 had made.
"Oh just wait XJ3, these Pancakes will be the Crème de la Crème of Robotic Pancakes, just be patient!" XJ4 said as she stopped her mixing and put XJ3 back on the floor and cleaned her up.
XJ4 was surprised how easy it was to just cook these things, it never occurred to her she would not just be good at cleaning but also cooking, making these pancakes on the top of her head, while wearing that special apron. It was as if she had done this a hundred times before.
Soon enough she started the cooking part, and the kitchen smelled of delicious oil that traveled across the house, to the living room, where all the XJ's were huddling together while sleeping, but the smell woke up Jenny first, as her sensors picked up the sweet smell and rose her eye lids to see what was going on.
Surprised though, she was buried under XJ8's arm as she huddled her and the other XJ's from last night and XJ7 holding on to her comfort blanket. Jenny gently got out of her bigger sister's grasp, and walked towards the scented smell from the kitchen, to see XJ4 just cooking on a stove cooking some metals into some robotic flapjacks.
"Good morning XJ4, your kind of up early." Jenny said smiling, and ever enjoying the source of the smell.
XJ4 giggled and said "So are you, but I felt like since I woke up I needed to make us all breakfast or something, I guess to give us that extra energy."
"Well, my sensors picked it up and its looks amazing! I also see you made more than enough for everyone!" Jenny said amazed by how much there was in possibly such short time.
"Well, I made extra just in case someone wanted more." XJ4 said, hinting at XJ8 for how big she was, of course she'll consume much to fill her energy.
"Well, you need some help?" Jenny said, turning one of her hands into a frying pan.
To which in joyful relief, XJ4 said "Of course, I want to get these all done as quick as possible."
"Why the rush?" Jenny asked.
XJ4 rolled her eyes for a second then said "Well, the boys that we saw yesterday, what if they come back and want to hang out with us?"
"And you'll think they'll come this early in a weekend?" Jenny said raising a brow and smirking "I really need to teach you more about boys."
"Well, Its better to be prepared." XJ4 said in her defense, as Jenny came to her side to help cook the pancakes.
Soon enough the rest of the XJ's picked up the smell of cooked metal and oil, a delicacy to them, and drifted in their tired but curious minds to the kitchen to see what's going on, and seeing that XJ4 was cooking, they were excited to try it out.
"What is that Amazing smell?" XJ6 said while yawning out her circuitry.
"Mmm, that would be XJ4's special cooking!" XJ7 said as she looked at delight and desire to try out these freshly made pancakes.
"Well, if you guys want you can eat it now." XJ4 said smiling, "But I wouldn't mind if someone would also help me cook more."
XJ7 volunteered for that position, while The rest of the XJ's excluding Jenny set up the meals in the table and started chomping on the hard metal's like they were as soft as real pancakes.
"My enjoyment levels from last night have reached to 'Awesome' levels last night." XJ8 said while swallowing handfuls of pancakes in one gulp. The other XJ's kept theirs away from her in fear she might just take them.
"Well, it's something I hope we do again soon, it's quite fun giving each other these paintjobs." XJ6 said while observing her roses still on her.
"We will have to eventually clean them off soon sadly, they look good on us but if Mother ever catches us with them on-" XJ5 said, until Jenny interrupted.
"Oh My Gosh! I need to contact Mom, we need to tell her about this Rekonolov guy!" Jenny said standing up from her chair.
"Well, what are you going to tell though exactly, we still haven't decided if you should tell her about us yet." XJ7 said bringing in more pancakes.
"Well, I'll leave you all out for now, we don't need her to be freaking out about anything right now, especially still in her mind the "dooms day" mind set." Jenny said calming them down.
But the Sisters kept eating their breakfast in worry, they feared if their Mother caught them, even outside the basement without her permission she was mad, but like this, having slumber parties, leaving the house and joining Jenny on her world saving, it was surely gonna scrap them off the record.
They finished their meal, and Jenny went to the lab to contact Nora, first cleaning herself from any paint , then calling as an emergency, after a few minutes, Nora finally opened the call to see her daughter there smiling and glad to see her Mother is in a not so disturbed mood, but instead a tired one.
"Good morning Jenny, I hope this is important." Nora said wide eyed but clearly lacking last night's sleep.
"Well, I have to report in that yesterday, there was an emergency call to the middle of the Pacific Ocean, there was-" As Jenny explained everything, leaving out the parts about her Sisters being involved and also the fact Rekonolov mentioned he said he was her "father", Nora's look worsened at knowing who was behind this.
"This is not good, not good at all!" Nora said in dread "This 'Rekonolov' is the last human being I want to hear involved, and knowing now that he's out of hiding, and created what you described as a clone of you, but more powerful, then you must stop this before it gets worse!"
"What about those Alien things? What are they after?" Jenny asked still concerned.
"I'll deal with that, and I'll explain what I know later, right now this instant you must go to this location!" Nora said as she sent the coordinates, to Hawaii.
"Um, why here?"
"Because that's the best bet where his base is hidden."
"Ok, but I have one question."
"What is it, you must make this quick."
Jenny hearing that considered the situation, maybe this kind of thing can wait, we don't know how long until Rekonolov is gone from his base, its smarter to get there as soon as possible.
"Never mind, I'll ask when I get back." Jenny said, trying to forget what she wanted to ask.
"Alright, but I don't want you to fight this 'clone' of yours, if its more powerful then you, its best to conserve your strength while I try and think of a way to stop this Alien threat, for now just gather as much info as possible, this is a covert operation, you understand?"
"Yes Mother" Jenny said, giving a sarcastic salute.
"Alright, and also, did he um, tell you anything?" Nora asked, biting her lip.
"What you mean?" Jenny asked, not blinking or raising a brow, just trying to act casual about it.
"Well, uh, never mind. Just wanted to make sure he didn't try to mess with your head with anything." Nora said, trying to look assured.
"Alright, don't worry, I'll go to his base, get all the data I can, and come back with the info." Jenny said, prepared for the mission.
"Alright dear, and one more thing, be careful." Nora said with worry for her daughter.
"Don't worry, I'll be safe." Jenny said assuring her Mother, as she ended the call.
Living Room
All the sisters had gathered and waited for jenny to come back, all of them clean from their paint and ready for their next engagement. They made sure their weapons were cleaned and ready. Some, like XJ6 and XJ8 checked their recent upgrades from last night, XJ6 still loving and playing with her new second arm, and XJ8 with her massive Bracelet Auxiliary Cannon (which she calls B.A.C). XJ5 on the other hand, didn't really feel like needing to prepare, for some odd reason she just had her flying turned off and was on the couch just reading a magazine.
Jenny came back up, seeing her sisters preparing her selves, ready for anything.
"Alright, I told mother the situation, though without mention Rekonolov calling us his daughters part though." Jenny said reluctantly.
"Woah what? Why?" XJ6 said immediately.
"We don't have time to deal with that matter right now, My Mom told me a possible location of him right now, in Hawaii, we need to go there now and gather as much info as we can, and also maybe capture him, but Mother said this is a covert operation, we must be quiet and only there for info, so we might not be able to fight."
"Well that's great, I get a new arm and I can't fight with it yet, that's nice." XJ6 said, sharing with XJ8 the disappointment with such news.
"Well, I think I can only bring some of us to do this, I'm going to taking XJ6 and XJ8, your upgrades will still be needed, XJ6 will be good at sneaking around, and using her two hands in situation, XJ8 will be back up, incase this XJ10 will be a problem."
Both the Robots smiled at this case, especially XJ8, hoping she can use her new Cannon, and getting revenge on XJ10.
"What about us?" XJ7 said, somewhat disappointed.
"Well, we can't take too many of us, I'm sorry I can't bring you girls, we might get caught more easily."
"Well, cheer up XJ7, maybe if the boys come you and I can have them to ourselves" XJ4 said teasing her sister.
"Uh, sure, I guess this is a good way to start interacting." XJ7 said blushing.
"Sure is" XJ5 said stepping in, "Maybe when you guys get back, they might have us invited to a party, so we're handle any danger from here." She said with confidence.
"Alright, glad you guys are ok with it." Jenny said relived. "We're try and get back before dinner ok?"
"Oh! I'll prepare the most excellent one I have in my mind!" XJ4 said excited.
"Sure, just don't get hurt ok?" XJ7 said a little concerned.
"Don't have too much fun." XJ5 said with a quirk.
They all gathered in a quick group hug and Jenny with XJ6 and XJ8 went out, with XJ6 saying "Oh, and don't tell them anything embarrassing about us, or else you're in trouble."
"Hehe, sure sure. "XJ5 said crossing her fingers behind her.
The three sisters blasted off into the air, heading towards their destination, leaving behind the other 6 robots.
"Well, what now?" XJ7 said looking to XJ4
"We prepare." XJ5 said chiming in "When the boys arrive, we simply get ready to meet them and have fun I guess."
"Well, I'll make some cookies for us and them in case we want snacks." XJ4 said as she went back into the house.
"And, Uh, I guess I'll just maybe watch some TV?" XJ7 said, not knowing how to "prepare".
"Hey don't worry, I'll fix you up and teach you what you can say to better socialize." XJ5 said grabbing hand and taking her inside, with the little XJ's coming in to follow with curiosity.
Rekonolov's Hawaiian Base
The room was dark, the air felt fresh, a unexpecting woman was wakening out of her bed.
Her Alarm rang soundly, waking her up, to her usual drill, but this one felt different, she still felt tired. It was odd for her, every morning she feels fully energized, after a night's sleep, but now, it was all groggy and lethargic.
But she struggled her body upwards, giving herself a stretch, then notcing when she opened her eye, her arms were of flesh!
"Что в ...!" The young woman yiped nearly jumping out of her bed but her feet caught herself.
She looked at herself, from below she saw real feet, real legs, real belly and real arms!
"О, моя доброта, это сработало, это действительно сработало!" She said to herself, she couldn't wait to see her own face, and got herself to the mirror and saw it, a beautiful Russian looking girl, of the appropriate age of a college girl, athletic in build and with flowing orange hair. She was no longer the Russian Robot she was for her 7 years, now she looked and even surprisingly felt like a real teenage girl.
She ran out her room to go and find her father, who was at the kitchen drinking some coffee, and when he heard the padded footsteps one hears when a barefoot person is running on a hard surface, he knew what was coming.
"Father look! I- I have human skin now! I have hair, nails everything!" She said as she hugged her father strongly tight, too strong in fact, turning the poor old man purple.
"Thats...Great...Dear... Can you... Please-" Rekonolov begged for release, to which her daughter realized it and immediately let loose of him but still holding him on her arms.
"Father this is amazing! You made look, look real!" She said, now having tears in her eyes.
"You were always real enough for me, this is just an extra feature to your life I suppose." The scientist said smiling, as he embraces another hug, but this time more controlled.
"I don't know how you did it, you also somehow made me feel, feel tired even in the morning!" She said still happy, even after feeling tired for mornings.
"Well, I can't be the only one to suffer human faults, I built into your update to also have realistic effects that human biology can have, like pain, tickles, and more, but I also allowed you the ability to turned it off if needed be." he said assuredly
"Well, that's convenient, but I don't want to turn it off yet, it feels, so real! Like its normal! I want to be like this, it's much more preferable." She said, embracing the cons humans can carry.
"As long as you like, but we have a mission to use this for, it's not just for entertainment purposes, all that can wait, we still have to finish checking some stuff on your features to make sure its properly working." He said with a more toned look, but still a happy one.
"Alright Father, like what?"
"Ok, try and turn back to your robot form."
"Um, how?"
"Just do it, try doing it like it's just flexing a muscle."
"Ok." she said as she stood back, and like a snap of thought, her body began to morph back to metal, her flesh looking like melted goo refolding and reforming into the hard metal body of before, her skin was no more but the cold steele as before, and her hair seemingly absorbed back into her body.
"Easy right?" Rekonolov asked.
"Yeah easy? Can I try to turn back?"
"Of course!"
"Alright here I go." Her body began the process again, having her metal goop to different shapes across her body, giving her the look as before, as with her muscles, hair, and other features her feminine body possesses.
"Wow, you get used to it quick!" Rekonolv said surprised.
"Well, I want to stay this way."
"How does it feel when you turn, any pain?"
"No, but, maybe a bit of pleasure when I turn back human."
"That's probably the nerves forming from you that cause the sensation, their growth I suppose 'excites' them if that's accurate." Rekonolov said pondering
"Oh this is amazing, this is so much! I can't wait to go out, and experience the world, and-" Before she could finish, the alarm from the computer went off.
"Ugh what is it this time?" Rekonolov said going to his computer, expecting another error on the file uploading, only instead to find it's an alert of possible incoming projectiles, heading towards the base.
"Well, I should've guessed." Rekonolov said, as he looked at the screen.
"Well let me guess, its Nora's Robots, right?" XJ10 said in spite of them.
"Im afraid so, they're coming here earlier than I expected! You packed all you needed from your room, right?"
XJ10 nodded, as she said "Ready to leave when you are."
"Ok my dear, go get changed, here I have these for you as a gift." Rekonolov said as he got a shopping bag, with some cloths in it.
"Wow, you think this will fit?"
"Absolutely... I hope." he said pondering "Doesn't matter, just pack them with you, and get ready to fight them if they get here, but remember, we need them alive!"
XJ10 turned back into her robot self, and said "Doesn't mean I won't hurt them if they get in our way."
Rekonolov sighed, he wished there was more time this morning to prepare, but he still has files to upload "I need at least 1 hour still, after that, I will have this Volcano erupt and destroy all traces of this lab, so be prepared to get out as soon as the file upload is done!"
"you don't have to worry about me, I can hold them off."
"Just be careful, and also, remember the mission, when your done here, head to Tremorton, and keep your disguise at all time, don't let them know it's you."
"I won't."
"Good" Rekonolov said as he was heading to the hangar, there was a plane he would take to leave before the XJ's come by. "And remember, I'll be in touch if you need me, be safe, I love you."
"I love you too father, be safe." XJ10 said, as they both hugged out and Rekonolov gave a kiss on his daughter's cheek, then he left, and a plane from the hangar can be heard leaving.
100 miles away over the Pacific Ocean
The 3 robots flew across the sky heading to where their coordinates said to go, they had a not so long flight, but stayed focus on course for the past couple of moments.
"So" XJ6 said breaking the radio silence "What's the main plan?"
"You and me will go into the base, and go separately to whatever place we can go to that we might find information from, while XJ8 will stay outside and keep radio contact with us, and if were in trouble, we call her in." Jenny said like a well-planned leader.
"Affirmative." XJ8 said "But I expect trouble, and if they're smart, they would've had detector to have noticed us already."
"Don't worry, if they knew we were here I'm sure they would've tried to blast us with some missiles or something, that's what bad guys living in isolated islands usually do right?" XJ6 said hinting sarcasm
"It still calls for caution XJ6," XJ8 reminded "They could be waiting for us to come and fall into a trap."
XJ6 just nodded off, she knew XJ8 was right, but didn't want to admit as much.
Soon enough they found the island in their sights, and the volcano on sight. It didn't have much of a clear entrance, to the normal eye.
"I'll find the way in." XJ6 said as she turned on her enhanced vision and spotted with easy a hollow spot that looked like a hangar. She pointed where it was, and XJ8 took it with pleasure to smash her way through it, and got her weapons out to check if all was clear, in which the hangar itself was completely empty.
"Clear." XJ8 said, and with that her 2 sisters came through and looked around, XJ6 scanned the surrounding area and gave a thumbs up confirming, there seems to be no trap nearby.
"This is odd, there's no plane here, or anything, you think he got away?" Jenny said looking at her sisters.
"It's very likely, my sensors pick up fumes that were released from a jet not too long ago, maybe about 10 mins ago." XJ6 said with disappointment, but cheered herself by looking at XJ8 and saying "But at least I was right there was no trap."
"Whatever." XJ8 said, not caring about XJ6's little charade
"Ok, XJ8, you stand watch here, radio us if you see anything, me and XJ6 will be as quick as possible." Jenny said as she and her sister went to a door leading to the main lab. XJ8 just stood there waiting, waiting for her target to come out and get hunted down.
XJ6 and Jenny went in through the door and saw the main lab, with huge computers everywhere, and in the middle, a lit screen with words that give details to what data is being uploaded.
"Ok, we should split here, I can start by getting what I can on that computer while you look around to see what else there is." Jenny said, as XJ6 nodded and went to another entrance way, which was the living quarters.
Jenny hooked up her cable to the computer, starting the search process on trying to discover what this data was worth uploading too, and where.
While XJ6 looked around the living quarters, he noticed some pictures from their frames were missing, some clothing on the floor and some doors open, she went to the closest to her right, and there she saw a large bedroom, with scientific gizmos, old inventions and many awards and trophy's that belonged to Rekonolov.
"I guess here's a good place to start if any." XJ6 thought to herself. She looked in the cupboards, the closet, under the bed, behind every frame and more, but nothing, the place was cleaned out "Figures" she thought to herself.
She left the room, and went to another room, this one closed, which was peculiar because why would such a door be closed?
XJ6 scanned through the door into the room, to see if anyone was waiting, thankfully, it seemed not, at least that's when she scanned for any metallic body's.
She carefully opened the door, and peeked in, no one on sight, so she stepped in and saw some of the room posters, some picture of a younger XJ10 with Rekonolov, others of mechanical engineering interest, Hawaiian vacation spots and some drawings etc, something typically seemingly normal and not menacing in the slightest.
XJ6 felt relived thinking she was gone too, as she noticed a missing space of dust on a wall, one that's fitting for a flag to be on there. This was a clue to breathe a little, she clearly packed up and maybe left, that was until she noticed a bag, a bag open and seen inside what looked like a Russian Flag, then XJ6 gulped, like as if she was whispered from the future to "LOOK OUT"! Immediately she ducked and swiped over her head was a long thick blade that nearly cut her head in half!
"Oh Jobs!" XJ6 said as she ducked, but quickly turned her body to give a punch to her opponent, XJ10! She hit her in the belly, but of course to XJ10 this was like a little kid giving a light slap, and this made a loud clang in the room.
XJ6 quickly jumped back and got out her dual Shoulder Mini Guns and aimed it at XJ10, but XJ10 was quick to give a quick jab at XJ6 in one of her shoulders, damaging both the gun and partially her shoulder. She didn't hesitate to fire her gun in desperation to make the Robot stop her approach, it worked a little, as XJ10 blocked the bullets using her hands.
XJ6 took the opportunity, and busted around XJ10 out the room, just before she got a grenade out of her hand and threw it in the room, and bolted down from the hallway to warn Jenny.
XJ10 saw the grenade, and first reaction was to shield her possessions in her bag fist, so she huddled it as the grenade went off, leaving the room shook and heavily damaged, the entire walls were left with scorch marks, the bed devastated and her pictures and posters all but burnt ashes.
"Oh she is gonna pay." XJ10 said to herself, as she gotten herself ready to fight more, but not before packing the bag as a backpack, and went to find her prey.
XJ6 came dashing to the main lab, where Jenny was still downloading all the info she could gather, there were a lot, too much for her to store it all. When she saw XJ6 running in, with her weapons out and her shoulder damaged, Jenny stopped downloading and quickly came to XJ6's aid to see if her sister is ok.
"Oh my Gosh!" Jenny said in shock "Are you alright?"
"Just a scrape" XJ6 said trying to assure her sister she is tough "But that XJ10 is still here! We need to get XJ8 here now!"
"Ok." Jenny said as she was radioing XJ8 "Sis, we need you, XJ10 is still here."
"Hang on." XJ8 said, now running to where her sisters are, getting her B.A.C ready, as it formed into the massive cannon that hummed with energy. "Let's see what this baby can do."
She came in, and saw XJ10, trying to fight off her sisters, they were only trying to dodge her attacks, afraid if they tried anything else, they would get badly damaged. XJ10 was shooting heavy beams of lasers right at them while in the air, it was looking like fun for XJ10, she even chuckled as such.
XJ8 didn't hesitate to watch any further, she aimed precisely where her enemy was flying around in and perfectly predicted where the shot will go. She aimed, fired, then-
KAKOW!
The blast pushed back XJ8 a bit on her feet, it let off a huge beam of plasma out as it went and hit XJ10, blasting her across the lab into a wall, it caused serious damage that's for sure. XJ8 didn't wait to even see if she was still alive, she aimed again and fired-
KAKOW!
The plasma beam bolted to where XJ10's crater on the wall was, which left an even bigger crater, again, XJ8 didn't want to leave any chances, she aimed again, then-
PU-CHING!
An un-expected ball of energy bolted from the crater and hit directly at the unexpecting XJ8, which blasted her to the wall. Expecting that wasn't the only shot she was going to take, she quickly got up and moved out of the way before-
PU-CHING!
Another ball of energy came from the crater, and XJ8 dodged it in time. She charged her Cannon even more this time, and shot at the Crater with full force.
KAKOW!
The shot went into the crater, but before it got there, a figure was seen getting out and flying before the shot got in, XJ10 had dodged the damage.
XJ10 looked furious at XJ8, and XJ8 only smiled, glad to have now a more equal battle level with this XJ10.
XJ8 flew up and charged to give her a powerful blow with her spiked knuckles, while XJ10 prepared for it by forming a shield with her arms. The blow of the punch flew XJ10 and XJ8 into a wall that left them in the crater, and XJ10 was pinned there by XJ8 as she kept punching her shield as much as possible.
The two Sisters watched as XJ8 was doing enough damage to topple buildings in each blow, but XJ10 was still holding up! How much strength can she have?!
"We gotta do something!" Jenny said, trying to figure out a possible way to help.
"We can try and get in there and see if we can take pot shots at her, maybe there's a weak spot we can expose!" XJ6 said as both her and Jenny flew in to assist their sister, who just kept punching.
XJ6 scanned the crater to know where XJ10s body is, but XJ8 being so big in contrast, it's hard to find a spot to aim at with.
"Dammit, I can't get a clear sight! I don't think we can do anything yet." XJ6 said in frustration.
Just then, a blast came from the crater that blew away XJ8 as she landed on the ground, then rose out XJ10, still barely scratched! XJ6 took the opportunity now to just fire what she's got at her, she spun her Mini Gun at her and turned one of her arms into a grenade launcher and started firing as much she could, even if she missed some.
A few grenade blasts hit XJ10, and the raining of bullets made it inevitable to get hit, but still little to no damage was done, she was nearly invulnerable!
"Hurry! Try and get more info from the computer as much as possible, me and XJ8 will try and hold her off!" XJ6 said in a panic, hoping her efforts are not in vain.
Jenny rushed to the computer, and XJ10 paid her attention to her directly, she turned her arm into a sniper rifle like weapon, and aimed at Jenny's head! She aimed and-
SMASH!
Out of nowhere XJ8 dashed in the air right at Jenny before she could even take the shot, and XJ8 just continued to wail her fists at her while in the air until the crash into the ground, where XJ8 had pinned her down.
XJ6 joined in and tried just shooting her minigun at every exposed spot of XJ10, in hope it might make her struggle more.
XJ10 was now just getting annoyed, it wasn't even like they could do this much damage, but it was getting on her nerves how much they kept persisting. She could only think how annoying it'll be that she "needs" to make friends with them as her father said.
She had about enough, and punched back XJ8, which merely pushed her back a little and quickly XJ10 jumped up and pounced not on XJ8, giving her a beating. It looked like a boxing match as XJ10 kept trying to jab XJ8 but XJ8 kept blocking the attacks.
XJ6 turner here hand into a Hammer, and slammed at XJ10, which to her surprise threw her off XJ8, and gave her some breathing room to get up.
"Wow, I should've done that earlier!" XJ6 thought in surprise to that strength.
Jenny was trying to download as much as she can, but all of a sudden, the computer let out a 'Ding' and the computer said on screen "Uploads complete, starting countdown." then it started in 1:00, and counted down in seconds! Jenny panicked quick and unplugged her cable, and whistled at her sisters "Guys, there's a countdown, I don't think that's a good sign." Jenny said trying to get her sisters attention, while they were still fighting off XJ10.
XJ6 heard her sisters concern, and saw the timer self, then turned her scanners to look around her, and immediately yelped, seeing below her magma rising beyond normal speed, and the thermal energy was rising to dangerous levels, even for them.
"Cripes!" XJ6 said "This Volcano is going to erupt! We need to go now!"
XJ8 paid no attention to her sister's concern, she just kept trying to find ways of attacking XJ10. This time she was more prepared, and got her Cannon and fired at XJ10.
KAKOW!
This blasted her to the wall, then
KAKOW!
Pushed her back farther, then XJ8 started spraying quick cement on XJ10 as much as possible, XJ6 and Jenny seeing what she's doing, quickly teamed in and sprayed whatever adhesive's they got on them at XJ10 to keep her stuck there.
XJ10 was struggling to get out, somehow her strength was not working as she would've thought.
"Keep going! We almost trapped her!" Jenny yelled, finally glad XJ10 was going to be gone.
XJ10 didn't say anything, she only tried different methods, using rockets, melting plasma, all did little from the ever-increasing amount in her way.
XJ8 calculated in her head, they had to get out now or else ended up like XJ10. "Sisters, we must leave, now!"
They stopped immediately and cut loose, dashing out from the lab to the hanger and out the entrance they made themselves earlier. They flew out as much as possible so as to not risk getting caught from the erupting volcano.
XJ10, still trying to get out, kept trying to cut loose from her cemented coffin, not having enough space to do all she could do, the time was counting down more immensely, she could feel the heat of the volcano rising, she swore she must have been melting!
Finally, after the struggle, she gave one last blast for a chance, and the cement and adhesives broke apart! She quickly gained her ground, and saw on the count down, 5 seconds left!
Without much thought, she immediately flew at her top speed going up to the top of the volcano, she reached speeds only a person in the brink of death would try and break out from. Suddenly, 1 second earlier than expected, the whole volcano itself exploded! The mountain left off a skull crushingly loud bang as the whole entire upper part of the Volcanic mountain blew open lava everywhere like a popped pimple, XJ10 was caught in that blast, clearly heavily damaged to her core from such injuries.
However, in her luck she had a last-ditch shield for herself, but the damage was so much, it made her lose a lot of power, and like a cannonball she flew in the air, then soon enough, landed back down onto the ground, creating a huge trailing crater from the massive force her body made on that impact. She couldn't wake up, she was too badly damaged to even open her eyes.
She laid there, thinking this was how she would pass away, she didn't know if she was in critical condition or not, but the volcano blasted her very far from the base, somewhere on the island, it was more peaceful there, very nice, she drifted off from that peace, and then went fully unconscious.
Back with the XJ sisters, they looked back as they flew and saw the mountain erupt and explode as it did. In their minds they were relieved, but in their reactions, they were thrilled! Such a rush of relief and survival made them thankful that they are not melted scrap at that moment.
"Did we really just almost get killed by that?" Jenny said laughing from relief.
"Did we survive that? Real question is, could even that XJ10 survive that?! Look at that, magma is everywhere, and that Metallic jerk is nowhere to be seen, she's not following us so I take it we actually beat her!" XJ6 said gladder it seemed then her sisters.
"My estimation, she's terminated." XJ8 said, in a monotone voice, but with a smile on her face.
