New Bot on the Block

Chapter 35: Battle for Earth – Part 2

Jenny was being dragged in the Stasis Sphere up to the Cluster Flagship, her optics widened in shock as to how heavily fortified it was. She was then reeled in the Flagship through an external door, where she saw dozens of soldiers aiming at her to ensure she doesn't even think of escaping the Stasis Sphere.

She was then dragged with a tether towards the Control Centre with Energy Rifles trained towards her; when they entered the Control Centre, a voice that Jenny knews too well said with a malevolent tone "Well, well, well… Looks like we have caught the Earth's Protector…" Although she cannot move her body, she managed to give a hostile leer at Vexus and hoped that Leo will come soon.

Vexus then walked calmly up to Jenny, wearing a malicious grin and said "Surprised that we built a robot like YJ-9? He was meant to be your bane… He was meant to destroy you and help us take over the Earth… Instead, he defected from us and escaped to your pitiful planet… all because he has fallen for you." Jenny narrowed her optics more, wishing she could escape the Stasis Sphere and punch Vexus out the window.

Vexus then smiled and leaned back before she said "We've studied your blueprints while we built YJ-9, so we built counter measures to ensure our victory against you. As far as his blueprints go, I have a feeling that I may have overlooked something critical…" One of the Soldiers peered out the Observation Window and said in worry "Uh… Queen Vexus? I hate to say this, but we should abort immediately."

Vexus turned her head with her brow raised in suspicion and inquired "Is there something wrong, soldier?" The soldier turned his head slowly and gestured his head to the window; Vexus then approached the Observation window, wondering what is going out there, when she froze is absolute shock as to what she is seeing.

Outside the Flagship, a small, yet potentially powerful figure shrouded in white electricity darted around, taking out the Assault Ships one by one by just penetrating them, before it suddenly halted in mid-air and looked up at the Flagship. It then darted up to the windows at Mach speed at just 0.5 seconds, before it smashed through and forced Vexus and the soldiers backwards; Jenny then fell to the floor and looked up at the figure to see, much to her relief, Leo with his optics shining pure white and his body shrouded with the same electricity as his spark.

Leo then stood up and walked over to Jenny, before he helped her up and said in concern "Jenny? Are you alright?" Jenny then broke a widened smile, before she hugged him tight with her mouth trembling and began to well with tears, before their tender moment was interrupted when Vexus began to laugh maliciously. They then broke off their hug and looked at Vexus in deep hatred, when she said "This is rich! A function I never thought I witness myself! Too bad you're on the wrong side."

Leo heard a weapon click before he activated his Holoshield and protected him and Jenny from the energy blasts; Leo looked at Jenny, before he moved his optics to Jenny's hands and made an upwards Semi-Circle before he directed his gaze to the epicentre of where the still active guards are. Jenny nodded in understanding, before Leo threw Jenny in the air and she pounded the ground with energy, sending a powerful shockwave that shattered the windows and burning the weapons and equipment into a crisp.

Jenny then stood up and looked at Leo in astonishment, who gave her an ensuring smile; Jenny then smiled in flattery, before they gazed at Vexus, who is crawling towards the console. Leo then stopped Vexus in her tracks and gripped her up to head-level with a deep, piercing glare; Vexus then said "I was right… you were a more powerful force than Jenny… Though despite what just happened, I must ask… Why didn't you come back to finish me off?"

Leo blinked once, not changing his expression, before he replied "The only reason why I didn't turn you into a pile of scrap is because of Vega… No matter how much damage you did to Earth or Cluster Prime, she still needs her mother. Regardless of your actions, she's your only family you have. Have a good think about it." Leo then dragged Vexus all the way to the Escape Pod Bay and threw her into a pod sent for Cluster Prime, before he went back to the Control Centre.

Jenny was looking out the Flagship, when she turned to Leo and smiled sweetly at him, before she walked slowly towards him and wrapped her arms around him. Leo then smiled a little and held Jenny's waist, before they leaned in for a passionate kiss, when an alarm came on. They looked around the room to see warning lights blaring as Leo said with widened optics "This is not good…"
