Chapter 18
The light of the sun pierces the sky as dawn approaches. Ms. Wakeman and Sheldon were up all night working on the virus. Brad and Tuck are eager to see the results.
BRAD: What's the news?
MS WAKEMAN: I want you to see this.
Ms. Wakeman direct Brad and Tuck to a glass containment unit. Inside it, tiny red robots move about.
TUCK: Your gonna have robot bugs freak the virus out of Jenny?
Brad smacks him in the back of his head.
MS WAKEMAN: This is an experiment Sheldon and I did to observe the virus' effects. (She holds up a tiny black robot) This robot is infected with the Maverick virus. Watch what happens when I put it with the other.
As soon as the robot is placed down it attacks the other robots. It destroys some, but spares others.
BRAD: So it's destructive, we know that already.
MS WAKEMAN: Yes, but look at what it does to the ones that still live.
The black robot grabs each survivor one by one and lets out an electric surge. Each of them turn black and try to escape. Ms. Wakeman picks up a remote and shuts them off.
Sheldon picks them up and crushes them.
MS WAKEMAN: As we have just observed, the virus is passed through surges. I can use that ability for the vaccine.
TUCK: Isn't that like the time you had you put those jumps starter thingies on Jenny when she had a Cluster bug in her? We can't even get close to her.
MS WAKEMAN: That's true, so we're going to have to get it to her from a distance.
BRAD: Can the vaccine work on Zero?
MS WAKEMAN: (Unsure) I don't see why not. His structure is not all that different from XJ-9's.
Explosions are heard in the distance.
SHELDON: There they go again...
Brad looks at Sheldon.
BRAD: Sheldon, you know Silver Shell right?
SHELDON: Yeah I do. Why?
BRAD: We need him to keep the city in tact while Ms. Wakeman works on a way to transfer the vaccine.
SHELDON: Great idea. I'll go get him now.
Sheldon runs out the house. Silver Shell burst in a moment later.
TUCK: That was fast.
SILVER SHELL: There is trouble afoot I hear!
MS WAKEMAN: XJ-9 and Zero are in the city right now and...
SILVER SHELL: Say no more! I'm on my way!
Silver Shell speed to the city.
Jenny and Zero are at the Mall parking lot. Zero releases energy from his body, clearing out any vehicle around him. Jenny grabs the wrecked cars and hurls them into the mall. Silver Shell lands in front of her.
SILVER SHELL: Don't make this hard Jenny.
Jenny transforms her fists of fury and tries to punch Silver Shell. He doges it and shoots his laser eyes at her. It misses and Jenny lands a punch on his chest. Zero laughs in amusement.
Silver Shell lies still. Jenny approaches him. Silver Shell grab her by the leg and throws her into Zero.
Zero gets up enraged. He fires his Z-buster. Silver Shell counters the shot with his lasers.
Sheldon is unsure of what to do next.
SHELDON: All I can do is stay as far as I can from him.
Back at the house, Ms. Wakeman steps outside, where Brad waits.
BRAD: Is it done?
MS WAKEMAN: Yes it is. XJ-9's life is in your hands now.
She hands a buster cannon to him.
MS WAKEMAN: Do it... with this V-Buster!
