Chapter 7
Brad and Zero watch some teens skateboard in the skate park.
ZERO: These skateboarders are very coordinated.
BRAD: I'm pretty sure you could do the same thing, being a robot and all.
ZERO: I doubt it. My hair would probably cause wind resistance.
BRAD: Well anyway, I'm going to get some more food samples.
ZERO: You go ahead; I'm gonna stay here to watch.
Brad goes back to the mall. Zero relaxes watching the skateboarders do their tricks. A massive shadow now appears over him.
???: Excelsior!!!
Zero looks up. It is the Silver Shell. Inside Sheldon controls the Shell, tired since he was up all night looking for Tuck like he had promised Jenny. Now he had found the red robot described to him.
SHELDON: (To himself) His hair really is long...
Silver Shell land directly in front of Zero, towering over the robot.
SS: You have a friend of mine vile creature!
ZERO: (Confused) Excuse me? My name isn't Vile. It's Zero.
SS: Zero shall be the word to describe your existence if you don't tell me where my friend is!
Zero stands up and fronts Silver Shell.
ZERO: (Angered) I don't know who you are pal, but your messing with the wrong robot!
SS: If that's how you want it, then feel the fury of the Silver Shell!
Silver Shell throws a mighty punch at Zero. Zero raises his left hand and blocks the blow. He then reaches for his Z-saber and cuts the Shell's arm off.
SHELDON: He's much stronger than he appears.
SS: You'll pay for that! You don't have a clue how hard it is to find a good repairman!
Silver Shell blasts his eye lasers making a direct hit on Zero. Zero slams to the ground and slides a few feet. Dust fills the view.
SHELDON: Gotcha!
Sheldon pleasing expression turns to surprise as the dust clear. Zero stands and appears unharmed by the blast. He draws out his Z-buster. He fires it at Silver Shell.
Silver Shell's armor is not very strong, so the blast goes right through him. He collapses on his back.
Zero jumps on top of the wrecked body. In the hole he sees movement. He grabs it, pulling up Sheldon.
ZERO: Who are you?!
SHELDON: (Frightened) I'm Sheldon. I was only trying to find the little kid you took.
ZERO: Tuck?
SHELDON: Yeah.
Zero puts Sheldon down.
ZERO: Tuck is fine. I met his brother Brad and his other robot friend Jenny last night.
SHELDON: Really? Gee, I guess I'm sorry for attacking you like that.
Sheldon now notices Jenny arriving.
SHELDON: Oh no!!! I can't let Jenny know that I'm the Shell. Please Zero, don't tell her.
Zero looks at the Silver Shell and thinks for a moment. He then looks up.
ZERO: Fine. I promise I won't tell.
Jenny lands and runs to Zero. Sheldon jumps back in the Shell and pulls down the secondary hatch.
JENNY: Zero! Silver Shell! What happened?!
SS: Oh it was just a misunderstanding. Zero and I were just getting to know each other better. Like why his hair is so long.
ZERO: I still can't answer that question.
Brad returns.
BRAD: Holy cow! What happened?
JENNY: Don't worry Brad. It was just a misunderstanding.
SS: Well now I'm off! Hope to see you again soon!
Silver Shell flies away. Jenny approaches Zero.
JENNY: Zero, my mom thinks she's found what causing your memory loss. I need you to come home.
Just then, Jenny's telecom opens.
MS WAKEMAN: XJ-9! Something terrible is happening! Come home quick!
The screen goes static and turns off.
JENNY: Mom? Mom! She's in trouble. I need to help her.
BRAD and ZERO: We'll go with you!
Brad and Zero grab a hold of Jenny's flight wings. Jenny takes off at top speed.
