Chapter 2: Set Up
"Bye guys! Seeya later!" called the robot Jenny to her friends. She walked outside of the school to the field, and let out her rocket boosters to take off. She shot off quickly, and headed towards her home.
"Let's see," she said to herself. "I already took care of that alien invasion today, and the giant rat in the subway is gone. Hmm, I don't think there will be any other attacks today. And for once I don't have any homework. So what should I do?"
Jenny landed in front of her home. The tall, grey building looked out of place in the neighborhood. At one point, many people, including her friends Brad and Tuck, had thought the place to be scary. Rumor had it that Mrs. Winkman did horrible and gruesome experiments inside. But after Tuck met Jenny, that opinion changed. Well, for the most part anyway.
Jenny walked in. "Mom! I'm home!" she cried. Hearing no response, she called again. "Mom?!"
The teenage robot walked farther into the house, and up the stairs into her mother's main laboratory. "Mom?"
Mrs. Winkman was nowhere to be found. Jenny was about to call her on her video phone, but then she saw a note on the scientist's desk.
"XJ-9," she read. "I've gone out to the scientist convention for the weekend. The lead speaker got sick so they called me in at the last minute. Be good and answer any calls for danger while I'm not there. Signed, Mom."
"Alright! I'm all alone for the weekend!" Jenny smiled and bounced around for a minute. She stopped suddenly, and groaned. "Ugh, everyone said they'd be busy because they're trying out that game. So no one can come over and hangout." Jenny picked up her bag and looked inside, taking out her own copy of the game, the World.
"Well, if that's where everyone else is going to be, then I should be too. If it's really that bad, I can always turn it off."
*************************************
"Alright, so now it's installed." Jenny sat at the computer in her room, reading the back of the box for the game. The front cover simply said "The World" with the insignia of a blade on front. The headset lay next to her keyboard, already plugged into the computer.
"So next I need to set up an account. Alright." Jenny put the box down and turned to the string, moving the mouse to click on "register".
"Please choose a username," said the prompt on the screen.
"How about XJ-9? Simple and true." She typed in quickly and clicked enter.
"Please choose a character name. It is recommended not to use your real name. Japanese names are particularly popular."
"A different name huh? I can't think of any." Jenny thought, and scanned through the Japanese dictionary embedded on her hard drive. "Kakera! It sounds nice to me." She typed it in, and pressed enter.
"Please select a character class," said the computer prompt.
"A character class? Hmm..." Jenny scrolled down the screen. "Well I don't know what any of these are. I'll try... heavy blade. That might be interesting. Well, looks like I'm done. Now I just need to put on my headset, and I'll be in." The robot picked it up, and placed in on her head. Suddenly, she was transported to a new world...
**********************************
"Woah..."
Jenny, now known as Kakera, stepped out of the blue spinning chaos gate and into the water capital, Mac Anu. The blue sky and tall brown building seemed normal enough, yet they were still alien in a way. Up ahead, Kakera could see a bridge over a long winding river. Various people dressed in strange clothes and carrying swords and staves were everywhere. Many looked to be shopping or talking to others.
"This is weird," Kakera whispered to herself, walking forward. She stopped suddenly, looked down, and jumped.
She was surprised, for now she looked different as well. No longer was she a robot girl. She had blue hair hanging down to her shoulders and big blue eyes. On her feet were purple boots, with blue fringes on top. Around her chest was what could only be described as a bra. Actually, it was purple armor that matched her boots. The ridge on the armor was gold plated. Kakera's skirt was right below her belly button and reached down to her knees. Purple with blue fringes, the only difference from the rest of the outfit was that there was a red jewel in the middle. Blue triangle marks came from her back up to her belly button, and a few triangle marks came up the sides of her cheeks. Kakera lifted her arm and saw a huge blade as well. The handle was purple with a blue stone on the end, and the blade was deep metallic silver, with the blue triangle marks coming up the sides of the blade. Most surprising to her of all, however, was that she now appeared...
"Human." She had pale white skin, but she no longer appeared to be a robot of any kind. No one here would judge her on the way she truly looked. Here, she could fit in with anyone.
"I think I'm gonna like it here."
