EPISODE 2 FIREBIRD BEGINS PART 2
elsewhere...
far in the distant cosmos of the universe...at a galaxy far from earth...there resided a planet, one, ruled by robotic beings, where machinery refined supreme, and where a oppressive empire resided, it was called, cluster prime...
all on the surface of the planet, where mechanical beings ruled, but with an environment, almost all too similar to earth, there were those who lived nearly in peace, and yet all too many of those who seek power, conquest and destruction, and they look like they had many of the means too...
and their ruler, was far from different, as deep within a large capital albeit, a giant palace of the mechanical city...
inside walked three insectoid robots, almost like troops, they both walked into a large corridor, where at the end laid a large royal door,
the large door soon opened to reveal a large throne room, but almost looked like a control room of sorts, with large circular window, which covered all sides of the large room on the upper section, over looking the city below,
on the phone itself, there laid a female insectoid robot, who seemed to be the queen herself, yellow and green were stripped all over her, and having the appearance of a robotic Egyptian pharaoh, with a crown with an orb on top of it, looking just like a ruthless queen herself,
the three beetle like robots stepped forward to their queen and kneeled, "queen vexus," they bowed,
their robotic queen, vexus, spoke up, "ah, my loyal subjects, I trust you've both completed the task I have sent you two to do?"
"yes my queen, the thrusters were implanted into the meteor like you said," spoke the first drone,
"the explosives were placed into it," said the second,
"and now, earth, is as good as destroyed," gloated the third,
vexus was delighted, "excellent," she praised
EARLIER...
above the earth's atmosphere, a large rock was being upgraded and modified for the deadly collision to earth, as the three drones that were sent by their queen vexus, had placed many modifications to it,
then, over on the drone's communications, a voice rang out, "drones, is it ready to attack?"
"yes, my queen! we just finished putting the finishing touches on it!" said one of the drones.
"excellent! then activate the thrusters and let's begin the attack on the humans!" rang Vexus through the drone's channel,
"yes, my queen," said one the drones as he then pushed a button,
the thrusters that had been planted alongside many explosives, roared to life, as the drones then retreated back to cluster prime, the modifications giving it more then enough power to destroy the earth and bring about another ice age, had it not been for jenny's interference...
PRESENT TIME
vexus, had set her sights upon the destruction of all humanity, and is a robot empress, who plots total robotic dominance over the entire universe "I think it's high time we see results, shall we?" she chimed,
"yes my queen," the drones spoke,
a large monitor rose from the side of the room, which was used to check up on interplanetary activity outside or inside the atmosphere, as the screen then flashed to life, and showed the planet earth intact, seeming that vexus' attack, had failed,
"what!? the planet lives!?" she shouted enraged, by her failure,
the drones shuddered in fear "but that's impossible! we placed many of our best technology on that rock!"
"surely the planet would not have survived!" panicked one of the drones,
"well surely, you haven't done your duties well enough!" yelled vexus
"w-well, surely the planet must've had some kind of defender!" spoke one of the drones,
"forgive us my queen! we were not expecting this!" shuddered one of the drones,
ENOUGH OF YOUR EXCUSES! I will see to what could have caused this failure, now GET OUT OF MY SIGHT!" shouted vexus
the drones then fled in panic and fear, "y-yes my queen!"
sighing in disappointment, vexus slumped over on her throne, and pondering in her thoughts "fools they should have been able to accomplish such a simple task! But some kind of defender must have stopped such a meteor!"
deciding to check for details the robot queen vexus went through what her interplanetary spy had recorded, and found Jenny destroying the meteorite with ease, "her...she's quite a formidable opponent..." she pondered,
"it seems my old nemesis Nora had been quite busy in my absence...but that will not help her..." vexus gloated, already making her plans for Jenny,
"that robot will be very useful to me in my empire...but I must gather my many resources for my empire...it may take many earth weeks...but that robot will be mine! and so will the Entire planet will fall before the cluster empire!" vexus then a sinister laughter that echoed though her chamber, already setting her plans into motion by moving up with the cluster empire military to attack earth, but for now decided to watch Jenny from a distance...
10 WEEKS LATER...
much had happened since the three teenagers met the powerful robotic creation of dr Wakeman, XJ9, who prefers to be called, "Jenny",
in the weeks that followed, dr Wakeman, then met the three teenagers that befriended her daughter, and so, after seeing how happy Jenny was, the many times she hung out with Tyler, brad, and tuck, she decided to enroll Jenny into high school...
through it wasn't perfect, Jenny was happy nonetheless, she was somewhat treated like an outcast, seeing that she was far different from the other students, being a robot,
and two fashionable school bullies the curst cousins brit and tiff, who were the most popular girls in tremorton high school, and therefore nearly trample anyone they saw unworthy of them, just like many of those who had riches, money, fame and power,
fortunately, Jenny had her friends stand by her, though it was still not easy,
still, it was great to be out in the world at long last, after being isolated in her room, it had seemed that her dream of living a teenage life seemed to have all but come true, despite there were times where she still had to attend to her duties as defender of earth...
meanwhile dr Wakeman had still had laments about her other creations she has locked away from the basement, but Jenny under stood the reason why she couldn't unleash it, and why her robotic daughter couldn't pilot it...but rather a young man would...and may not be that far away...
PRESENT DAY,
Date Tuesday August 19th 2014
Time 9:30 am
it was another beautiful morning in tremorton, as Tyler and his teenage friends were getting ready to face another day of school, this week, picture day was suppose to be underway the next day or so,
picture day at tremorton high school was to be held in the gymnasium, there many students would be there to have their photo taken for the school picture, which would show many of the students who particpaited,
but first, there was the day of work to be face which may be more interesting then they think, as Tyler walked down the stairs to meet up with his friends brad and tuck,
brad and tuck were just getting ready to leave as brad then noticed Tyler "morning Tyler!"
"good morning brad!" waved Tyler as he walked towards them, backpack strapped,
"so what day guys think we'll have going on at school today?" asked brad, wondering what today will bring,
"not too sure, who knows?" shrugged Tyler
"maybe a normal day at school," spectated tuck,
"or a pretty normal day of super heroing for Jenny" chuckled brad, knowing the many times Jenny had to leave school, to defend the planet from many disasters,
"most likely, brad" said Tyler
"well, either way it looks like we have a pretty good day ahead of us," said brad optimistically,
"I sure hope so brad..." mummered Tyler,
they were just about to take off for school when...
BOOOOOOOM!
an explosion rocked the house and the wall from the left side from the three teenagers, had blasted open,
"AAH!" tuck panicked,
"what was that!?" shook Tyler and brad, looking around the room for the source of the explosion,
then three beetle like drones came out of the broken wall, with blasters in hand and pointed at the three teenagers,
"humans! in the name of the cluster, you are our prisoners!" boasted one of them, pointing his weapon at them,
tuck immediately panicked, hands already up, "p-prisoners?"
brad too, was baffled, granted, he had always, or somewhat been involved in Jenny's affairs of protecting the earth, but to happen right in front of you? "you can't be serious!" he said
Tyler could hardly believe it either, an attack happening in front of him, Jenny might handle it, but she might take a while, but, someone has to step in, "no way we're gonna be prisoners to you!" he shouted,
the cluster drone pointed his gun at Tyler, "you sure about that human? you might wanna reconsider that, if you don't wanna become scrap metal," he threatened,
"Tyler!" brad and tuck yelped
Tyler gritted his teeth, "do what you want..." he snarled, "but we won't be letting you push us around!"
"Tyler..." worried brad,
"I'd consider this is I were you..." shuddered tuck
Tyler looked at tucker a few seconds, "tuck..." he then turned to face the drones, "i'm not gonna stand here and watch them try to enslave for no reason at all!" he shouted, seemingly stepping in for Jenny
the drone snickered in amusement, "I'd admire your courage...neglecting the chance to become a slave to the cluster empire..." he then aimed his gun att Tyler, "very well, then you'll be scrap metal!"
"Tyler!" yelped brad and tuck
Tyler then dashed towards the cluster drone before he could fire his gun and threw a punch at him, but the drone countered by cross hi arm with the human's, and then knocked him back,
"oof!" grunted Tyler as he fell on the floor,
"foolish human! you cannot win!" gloated the cluster drone as he then fired his weapon,
"Tyler! be careful!" as Tyler barely managed to dodge the deadly laser as brad did the same, hurtling tuck to the floor, as the gunfire ensured,
"he'll turn you to scrap!" worried tuck
then the gunfire ceased temporally, "I would listen to your human friends," gloated a drone, "resistance is futile, you are all about to become slaves of the cluster empire, wether you agree or not!"
Tyler staggers to his feet, only on one knee, and looked behind the drones to see a familiar female figure, "well, I may not be enough to handle you guys..." he then pointed behind the drones, "but she, sure as heck is!"
"what!?" yelped the three drones, as they then saw the figure...revealing to be, Jenny!
"might wanna leave them alone if I were you guys..." she warned, two laser cannons already in hand,
"that's her!" yelped one of the drones,
"the earth defender who foiled our plans 10 earth weeks ago!" shouted another,
"bring her to our queen along with the humans!" ordered a third, remembering vexus' orders for them, and pointing a gun at Jenny,
"not on my watch!" she said, firing a laser blast at one of the drones,
Jenny started to fight the three cluster drones, they each fired their blasters at each other, the battle grew fierce,
Tyler quickly got up on his feet, rushing to brad and tuck, "quickly! while she fights them this is our chance to escape!" he suggested,
"you got it!" agreed brad,
"no arguments here!" yelped tuck as they all quickly retreated,
one of the drones immediately took notice, "stop the humans from escaping!" he ordered "they must not be allowed to leave here alive!"
but was quickly stopped by Jenny who blasted him to bits, "I don't think so!"
the battle then raged on as the two remaining drones tried to blast Jenny as she then did the same, eventually taking the battle outside, to their backyard, one of the drones then destroyed in the crossfire,
the remaining drone got up on his feet, "this isn't working at all!" he then called for reinforcements, "drones! surround her!"
then a portal opened and an entire squadron of drone reinforcements arrived to battle Jenny, as she then blasted many of them, and then performed many kicks and punches at them, making short work at the reinforcement squadron,
then, she was caught by surprise by two other drones, then many more came swarming their way to Jenny, eventually, entangling her in a bind,
"h-hey!" Jenny struggled,
Tyler, brad and tuck wile trying escape beside their house, now damaged, looked to see Jenny in a pinch, the first time they saw her like this in a while,
"Jenny!" they yelped!
one of the cluster drones eyes' flashed, "we have her! send her to the queen!" he ordered,
more drones trapped Jenny as they began to drag her towards the sky to a large portal, getting closer to completing their mission,
near Jenny's house dr Wakeman looked to see what was happening, and saw her daughter trapped, "XJ9!"she shouted in worry
"mom!" Jenny worried, at the saddened look on her mother's face seeing her beloved daughter dragged away in the sky,
then vexus came down from the portal already laughing wickedly, gloating over her prize, "well, well, well," she snickered, "so this is the "defender" that foiled my plan for that meteor that my minions adjusted, that was supposed too destroy this pitiful world,"
"well, I guess you could say that," acknowledged Jenny,
"well, either way you'll make a fine addition to my empire..." vexus told, already relishing her victory,
"I don't, think so!" struggled Jenny, trying to escape her bonds,
vexus snickered as Jenny tried to escape, "well, I don't think you'd have much choice in the manner..."
"Jenny!" shouted brad,
"I think this just got creepier then it already has," shuddered tuck,
"let her go!" shouted Tyler to vexus,
dr wakeman looked at vexus and the cluster drones, with worry, and showed a look of one's fear realized, "I never thought they would return," she thought,
vexus then turned her head to Tyler, "I'm afraid I cannot," she said, "you see, since she was able to foil my plot of using a large meteorite to destroy the earth she would be an excellent addition to the cluster empire..."
"empire?" questioned brad,
"what's this all about!?" interrogated Tyler
"what would you want with me!?" asked Jenny,
"my...aren't we noisy now are we?" said vexus, annoyed, "the cluster race shall rule this entire planet as all robots should! I am their queen vexus! And soon this darling shall be my faithful servant...but don't worry I'll leave you all with a playmate, come forth my minion!"
vexus then waved a hand, then a portal came form the backyard of brad and tuck's house, and out of the portal, out came a much bigger cluster drone, with claws, horns, and 4 tipped wings, it's 4 red eyes flashed brightly
"okay, that's definitely not a playmate!" brad spoke,
"n-n-n-no..." shook tuck as he hid behind brad,
Tyler then after looking at the gigantic robotic bug in front of them, he turned his attention to vexus "...give Jenny back!" he shouted,
"I'm afraid I cannot," the cluster queen snickered, "I must be off then, farewell," she laughed as she went through the portal with Jenny,"
"Jenny!" yelled brad
"XJ9!" worried her mother, dr wakeman,
the mega cluster drone then pointed one of his mechanical claws towards the humans before him, "now I get to have some fun with you pathetic humans!" he laughed as he marched towards them
"run!" yelled tuck,
and run they did, the mega cluster drone sent the four humans running in multiple directions, knowing that, without Jenny, they were helpless against the mega cluster drone,
"man! this is one heck of a morning!" panted brad still fleeing from the giant enforcer
"you think!?" yelped Tyler
"well I'd rather be in home than being chased around by a scary giant bug robot!" panicked tuck
"hang on! I have a plan!" yelped dr wakeman as she ran with them,
"you worms can't run forever!" shouted the mega cluster drone as he continued to chase them, he then fire a beam from on of his claws at the palm,
"gah!" yelped Tyler as the group narrowly dodged the laser beam, making a big explosion on the ground, causing a big fire,
"I hope dr wakeman knows what she"s doing!" worried brad, still running for his life,
the mega cluster drone then aimed his arm cannon again, "I'll destroy you all!" he laughed, but then got hit in the head by a couple of small rocks, turning his attention to tuck "hmm?"
"uh-uh i...uh...I gotta go..." shook tuck as he slowly walked away then ran again,
"enough playing around! this time your scrap metal!" announced the mega cluster drone as he again gave chase to the four humans,
"you said you had a plan dr wakeman!" reprimanded Tyler
"I think I do and right now, it involves running for the hills!" screamed dr wakeman as she ran faster,
"well, that's not a plan!" rebuked brad
"well, we have to make it out alive somehow!" spoke Tyler, now running faster,
the mega cluster drone continued to give chase still, eventually cornering them at a fence, as he laughed, "this is it for all of you!"
"it's a dead end!" said brad,
"we have no way out!" panicked tuck"
Tyler looked grim at the giant drone "Jenny..." he worried,
the mega cluster drone closed in on the four humans, and chuckled darkly, "you foolish humans should have accepted our offer to become slaves to the cluster empire!" he then aimed his twin arm cannons at his prey, and started charging up "for those who do not serve the cluster, this is their fate!" he gloated,
"well, it's been nice knowing you guys..." shook tuck, losing hope,
"yeah tuck," spoke brad as he knelt down to hug his younger brother,
"...this can't be it!' spoke Tyler as he looked down on the ground, waiting for the drone to finish them off,
but then, a portal appeared and a blue-silver mechanical figure came out, overwhelming 15 cluster drones, it was Jenny! whoo barely managed to escape vexus' clutches,
"what!? it can't be!" spoke the surprised mega cluster drone looking at the scene above,
"Jenny!" exclaimed the 3 teens
"sorry I'm late guys!" reassured Jenny as she the swooped down to take on the mega cluster drone,
Jenny swooped down and traded blows with the mega cluster drone, making some dents as she unleashed a spike ball and chain on the mechanical enforcer,
"graa!" groaned the mega cluster drone as he fired his lasers, as Jenny then fought back with lasers of her own destroying some parts of the mega cluster drone, and knocking him back a few feet,
the mega cluster drone staggered to his feet undecided to retreat, knowing that Jenny was more then a match for him, "you'll...pay for this!..." as he retreated to another portal, to cluster prime
"oh, XJ9! thank goodness your okay!" said dr wakeman, relived of jenny's safety
"thanks mother!" cheered Jenny, still flying above them,
then vexus swooped down from the portal, to face Jenny, "well done not only have the humans survived my mega cluster drone but you also defeated 15 of my drones, but! We are legion!" she gloated over her army's power "One day soon you will join the cluster empire and together we will enslave the earth and humanity!"
Jenny then faced vexus, guns at the ready, "as much as I'd like to take up on the offer...I'm not so much into the "enslavement the human race thing"! So I'll never join the cluster!" as she aimed her blasters at vexus
vexus only snickered, "you may think so...but you'll be a part of the cluster before you can even blink!" she spoke as she then activated a sprayer of blinding green mist around Jenny,
"Jenny!" her friends below worried, as they saw Jenny cough,
then, vexus unleashed another of her devices, a nanobot was real to launch from her arm, "now it is time to do your worst my pet! go! and corrupt XJ9 from the inside!" she ordered as she shot the nanobot into jenny's systems, vexus then slashed open a portal to cluster prime, "be seeing you," she gestured as she went through the portal,
"Jenny! are you alright?" worried Tyler,
"yeah," cough Jenny, as soon, the mist around her started to clear, "gee, what a witch!"
"you can say that again," returned Tyler
"well, I'm glad to see my little girl is alright!" said dr wakeman,
"yeah," said brad but then wondered about the mysterious robots that attacked them this morning "what were those thing anyways?"
"that, was the cluster, I'll explain more inside the house, follow me," dr wakeman explained as they then went inside jenny's house,
in the basement underneath the stately wakeman residence, dr wakeman took Tyler, brad, tuck and Jenny down below, they all sat down while dr wakeman went over to the viewing screen, almost similar to a powerpoint presentation,
on the screen, the projector showed an image of the cluster drones they had just encountered,
"now, these robots you have seen today are called, the cluster," dr wakeman explained, "They are a race of only robots who seek to Conquer the planet earth by any means necessary even if it means destroying it,"
jenny's eyes narrowed, "not if I can help it..."
"you got that right!" said brad enthuasticly,
"but don't underestimate them," cautioned dr wakeman, as the projected then showed an image of vexus the cluster empire's queen, "their queen vexus is immensely cunning as well as her army! It's likely at this moment she may want XJ-9 for her own personal ends...if she falls to the hands of the cluster...they will be unstoppable..."
Tyler grew worried, "no doubt about it," he said, "with such an array of weaponry and such..."
Jenny stood up, "well they're gonna have to use everything they have if they want me!" she spoke
"I'd think she'd best for fighting those bug alien robots while we just sit it out on the sidelines..." stated tuck nervously,
Tyler turned to tuck, "but tuck...what if they DID get her to their side? It's like Dr. Wakeman says they'll be unstoppable!" he said, worried about the grim possibilities of the world being helpless without Jenny,
Jenny huffed, "well, I'd like to see them tr-" before she could finish, she felt a sharp pain in her stomach, "argh!" she then held her stomach, making the others stand up as well, "that was weird...it's like not I indigested something..." she said,
brad went over to jenny's side, as she held her stomach, "yeah, it's probably just rob stomach bug," he said,
"yeah, let's hope so brad," said tuck as he went over to his older brother's side,
Tyler lowered his head in worry, considering today's events, he knew he and his would be helpless against vexus, with Jenny on her side and how he tried to fight them but utterly failed, how would they even hope to protect themselves without Jenny? who would step when no one else can?
Tyler then looked at dr wakeman, "...dr wakeman, should Jenny ever fall into the clusters hands...how will we be able to protect the earth?" he asked her,
dr wakeman lowered her head in thought, this young man, in front of her, is asking how he can help out against the forces of evil alongside Jenny, he didn't look like much, but then again, ther was her other creation, that s meant to be driven by humans, maybe this young man, could help after all?
" well...I think there is something ...but I think I may need you to come down with me young man" told dr wakeman, "...the rest of you your free to go at high school,"
"great! thanks mom!" cheered Jenny as she set off to high school
"wait up for me!" spoke brad, as he followed jenny,
"alright, I guess I'll just stay here then," groaned tuck
"alright let's at least make this quick I don't wanna be late," spoke Tyler as he went to dr wakeman,
"right, follow me," told dr wakeman, as he led Tyler away,
dr wakeman then led Tyler downstairs, down to an entrance to a secret underground hangar, seeing to it that Tyler sees her other defender of earth, they soon neared the door,
"in all my years as a scientist..." chimed dr wakeman, "XJ-9 wasn't the only robot I ever created to protect the planet earth..."
"there's more?" asked Tyler
dr wakeman nodded "behind this very door..." she announced, "..lies what maybe one of my greatest creations before the XJ-9 series of robots...from something much greater..." she then opened the door, "behold...young man..."
Tyler could hardly believe his eyes, dr wakeman opened the door to a large hangar which held up three vehicles, one looked like a tanker, one looked like a speeder, and one looked like a jet, almost as if they were meant to Be a part of something greater...
"these, are your other super fighting robots?" asked Tyler in awe,
"yes," answered dr wakeman, "they were my finest creations during my career as part of skyway patrol,"
"skyway patrol?" wondered tyler "When was that dr wakeman?"
"oh that was years and years ago, 20 years to be precise..." answered dr wakeman as she then recalled the vehicles' creation back then,
20 YEARS AGO
dr wakeman in years prior, was once a volunteer of an intergalactic defense organization known as skyway patrol, which was formed during the first intergalactic war, which occurred on a series of constant alien attacks, skyway patrol fought on all fronts, but eventually, the war ended when they constructed an ultimate weapon that would end the war for earth,
after the war, before she retired, dr wakeman sought to create new means of defense, and she saw her chance when an asteroid, carrying powerful cosmic energy, crash landed on earth,
immediately, skyway patrol ordered an investigation of the crash site and found the meteor and the source of the energy readings, the scientists even the supreme commander himself, sought to harness this cosmic energy for means of defense, and possibly, for peace itself,
dr wakeman was immediately ordered to get a project underway, to create a giant robot, who's primary power source would be the cosmic energy, found from the meteor, and this gigantic robot would be dubbed, "Firebird"
firebird would be formed from 3 vehicles, a small tanker, a small speeder, and a scout jet, when combined they would be able to form firebird!
each vehicle were equipped with much combat weaponry as possible, even more if the project is a success, including the concept of giant robots, armored with extra hard titanium alloy, and while the transformation mechanism is tested, it was powered by the normal military power sources,
the transformation, after much trial and error, was successful, now, the project was nearing it's final phase, injecting firebird with the acquired cosmic energy...
at the laboratory at skyway patrol head quarters, firebird, was being connected to many tubes and pipes, all leading to the main reactors, which would swap out the normal power sources with the cosmic energy,
as dr wakeman and her colleagues were under going the final preparations for the energy transfusion, the skyway patrol supreme commander went down to see everything through...
"dr wakeman, report on the project at hand," commanded the highest ranking officer,
"supreme commander, I could say, we're making progress," reported the young dr wakeman, "take a look here,"
she pointed towards a diagnostics screen showing the many trials firebird's 3 vehicles had faced throughout the project,
a sky way patrol scientist went up and went over many screens, "mechanisms were successful, weapons systems installed, targeting system 85% accuracy, vehicle diagnostics data completed, many tests were undergone, all using the usual military power sources, I'd say we've made progress!" she explained
dr wakeman turned to face the supreme commander with excitement, "supreme commander, throughout my project, our creations have so far met all expectations, even the transformation," she spoke
the supreme commander seemed quite pleased with the news, but, there was one thing left for the project before calling it a success, "then the only thing left, is to harness the unknown energy," he ordered
"yes sir," replied dr wakeman as she looked out a large glass window
behind the large glass window, laid firebird gigantic metal shell, only his upper torso shown, while his lower half is covered undernath many equipment. and he was hooked up to many tubes and pipes that lead directly to his central reactor core, where the final stage of the project is about to begin,
"it's time then," said dr wakeman, as she then turned to her colleague, "is everything ready?!"
"yes," said the skyway patrol scientist as she then typed on the key board again on the monitor, showing the diagnostics on firebird, hooked up for energy transfusion "energy pipes have been connected, energy flow is stabilized, energy pumps have been filled with the cosmic energy, we are ready!"
"alright," said dr wakeman, as she thelslwoly walked towards a panel, and pressed the red button, "activating!"
the cyilanders then released the energy down into the tubes and then all the metal pipes and tubes were flowing with the bright blue liquid like energy, and flowed straight into firebird's mechanical veins,
blue lines of energy appeared all around the metallic structure, as the energy increased rapidly, more blue lines appeared, the eyes flashed brightly with blue, the gigantic machine hummed to life as the power increased higher and higher,
dr wakeman and her collègues watched with joy, it looked as if they were successful in their project,
but then, the energy flow was completed as the blue energy liquid soon dissipated as the blue lines and glow soon vanished as well and enormous steam bursted out of firebird as alarms soon blared across the lab,
dr wakeman was distraught, "what!?" she panicked, as she removed her helmet, "What happened!?"
her colleague went over diagnostics again, checking to find out whats wrong, "I-I don't know!" she hurried, "The energy flow was stable! They had went directly to the core and I promise you the flow was stabilized! I don't know what went wrong!"
an officer was just as baffled, "I-I don't know how to tell you this wakeman," he worried "I'm at a loss here too!"
dr wakeman went pale, how could this happen? ""s-supreme commander, I don't know what happened," she panicked
but the supreme commander had already heard enough, seeing the energy transfer was a failure, "dr wakeman, I'm afraid to say this, but it appears the whole project was a mistake, and therefore, by the power invested in me, as supreme commander of skyway patrol, I hereby confinsate this project, I'm sorry," as he handed out a sheet of paper that confiscated the project of firebird,
dr wakeman could only sigh and lower her head in sorrow, another failed experiment, she thought
it had appeared the project ws a failure, that firebird would never see the light of day...but dr wakeman didn't give up, a few days after the incident, she spent many weeks of debating with the supreme commander of skyway patrol to allow her to have firebird and at least work on him, to see if it's truly a failure, but she would have to have him contained and hidden, for which had went on for 20 years as soon afterwards, the XJ series robots were built after that, until one day, a young man would rise up, to pilot firebird,
PRESENT TIME
"...in which I had the 3 vehicles locked away down here to this day...until perhaps now," finished dr wakeman, ending her remarkable story,
Tyler listened the whole time and was In awe, building a defender of earth before Jenny? but locked for 20 years, because it was meant for humans to drive?
"sealed all this in here for 20 years..." spoke Tyler "and now that Vexus has returned, you giving me these?!"
"yes," answered dr wakeman, "for I, despite my reluctance, have confidence that will use them for the greater good, for when Xj9 couldn't, should she fall to Vexus,"
"...I will," answered Tyler, "But first I gotta head to high school, think we'll be able to talk more then?"
"of course," replied dr wakeman
"thanks! see ya!" said Tyler as he left for tremortion high school,
"be productive young man!" mothered dr wakeman, seeing him leave for school,
at tremorton high school, Jenny, Tyler and brad were each seated next to each other, as the teacher was giving out her daily lesson for today,
"the Axolotl are the unique amphibians in Mexico City in Lake Xochimilco and more, with their unique ability to reach adulthood without undergoing metamorphosis in which they remain aquatic and gilled," explained the teacher,
brad kept tapping his finger on his desk while Tyler and Jenny listen in on the lesson,
"boooorrrrriiiinnng..." he groaned "so tell us again how you escaped and kicked cluster butt!"
"cripes, Not again brad," complained Jenny, "that story really loses its touch after the third telling,"
"and besides were still worried about next time it happens," told Tyler,
"come on! It's exciting!" told brad with enthusisam "My only battle today is school right now, and my desire to be sit free for the school photo tomorrow,"
"hold on, the school photos coming up?" asked Tyler
"yep," replied brad
"man, time flies" exasperated Tyler
"well, there's one great perk of being a robot I never worry about breaking out," told Jenny, aware of her robotic advantages
"very true Jenny" Tyler said,
just then, some metal movement could be heard, and then a large bolt appeared on jenny's forehead, making her stop, with wide eyes,
"huh?" noticed brad,
"uh, Jenny" as Tyler turned to Jenny,
Jenny then looked up towards her forehead and saw the bolt,
"AAAAAAAHHH!" she screamed in horror, as she then flew out of the school and throughout the roof of the facility,
"oo...kay...see ya later!" waved brad, seemingly oblivious of jenny's situation, thinking it's part of being a teenager, and turned towards the teacher,
but Tyler had other thoughts as he looked at the hole where Jenny flew away, a bolt on jenny's Head? This seems highly suspicious... he thought, worried about Jenny
back at her home at the wakeman residence, Jenny tries to take off the large bolt on her head, she pulled out a wench, and barely unscrewed it, only for another one to appear, Jenny groaned in frustration and sadness and placed her head on the wall as soon, the door opened, revealing brad and Tyler,
"hey Jenny! we're back!" greeted Tyler,
"hey, what's wrong Jenny?" asked brad
"I...I tried to snap it off, and it just got bigger," told Jenny,
"aw man..." sighed Tyler
"come on it's nothing to freak out about," reassured brad
"but I'm a hideous mutant!" cried Jenny
then, tuck came through the door after closing it,
"freaks? Mutants? Where let me see!" said the young child,
Jenny then turned around and showed the bolt to tuck, who stared at it in awe,
"whoa..." he said,
"sheesh, it is bigger," exasperated brad
"Jenny, you're not a hideous mutant," comforted Tyler as he took a few steps towards her,
then there was a knock on the door, it was dr wakeman, "XJ-9, time for your daily systems check,"
Jenny relented, "no mom! Not now! I just can't!"
dr wakeman was about to argue, but then decided to give her time, knowing she needs to train Tyler, "then I'll also need tyler as well!"
Tyler then turned to the door, "I'm on my way!" he then left the room with only brad, tuck and Jenny in the room,
brad then came up with a solution to jenny's problem and then went up to his mechanical friend, "cheer up jen, in fact I think I may have something for ya!" he told
"you sure brad?" asked his younger brother,
"yeah, some make up," as then handed up a capsule of makeup and handed it to Jenny, "it's coverup, and there's no shame in it!"
Jenny then took the small capsule, "you think this will work?" she asked,
"absolutely," assured brad, confident that it will work,
meanwhile outside the door, Tyler went to see dr wakeman who had summoned him, "alright Dr. Wakeman, what do you need?" he asked her
"I was just coming to say the training room is ready," explained dr wakeman "we can begin your training,"
"alright, let's go then," replied Tyler as he followed her into the basement once again,
later that night, brad took Jenny out to mezmers, the local hangout of tremorton but Jenny was having second thoughts, despite the make up even as brad held her hand during the long walk...
"brad, I'm nervous, I changed my mind," worried Jenny,
"jen, don't worry, if this doesn't work no one will lay a hand on you," assured brad, as they continued walking
they soon reached their destination, a large cornered build withe the entrance shaped like the head of a black cat with the billboard saying "mezmers" brad and Jenny soon walked towards the entrance,
"alrighty Jenny," said brad "bear with me here,"
"if you say so..." sighed Jenny
the two teenagers soon entered the teen hangout out placed where inside laid many booths, and a local serving area, including a juke box at the corner, with many circular windows, it seemed like the perfect place for a hangout,
brad and Jenny soon walked in through the front door as Jenny nevrously walked around, worried if brad's solution was going to help with the bolt in her head,
"so, what do you think Jenny?" asked brad as he turned to Jenny,
Jenny, then looked down and sighed, "brad, I appreciate you trying to help, but not sure if this will..."but then suddenly her audio box made her voice a pitch deeper "...work,"
Jenny then wide eyed as well as brad "whoa..." he said
Jenny placed both of her hands to cover her mouth "oh no! Now my voice recorder is malfunctioning too!" she stuttered, then decided to leave the scene but not before grabbing a bag,
"Jenny! Wait!" worried brad as he then went after Jenny
meanwhile, back at the stately wakeman residence, dr wakeman again took Tyler down to the basement, where the training room was prepared for him, to pilot firebird,
"I've taken every precaution in preparing the training room," explained dr wakeman "for if I had some to pilot firebird, he would have to be trained to fly him,"
they soon reached the training room, there many psychical exercising equipment laid there for combat training, even many simulator machines, one for flight, and one for the ground, primarily driving,
"whoa...all this to train me?!" asked Tyler in awe,
"yes, if your ready, we will begin," spoke dr wakeman,
Tyler nodded, "let's make this quick I gotta catch up with jenny and brad," he said
the training session soon began, Tyler first entered the driving simulator which primarily concerned the tanker, and possibly cars in the future,
next was the flight simulator, which would consist of the scout jet, and possibly flying in robot mode for firebird, or any other flying vehicles in the future,
the combat simulator soon came last, it started off with some basic combat techniques, soon escalating to martial arts on a punching bag, which may help him know how to fight, with or without firebird,
the long training session left Tyler exhausted, "whew...you weren't kidding dr wakeman," he panted,
"no I wasent," dr wakeman pointed out "now, you said you wanted to join Xj-9?"
Tyler nodded "yeah, I gotta get going, there headed over to mezmers, but I'll do more later, see ya!" and he ran off to find brad and Jenny,
"be back soon young man..." prompted dr wakeman
Tyler was running across the sidewalks and the neighborhoods to get to mezmers, but when he got to the front entrance, they weren't there, Tyler then looked around for his friends,
"brad! Jenny! Where are you guys!?" Tyler shouted, then something caught his eye "Huh?" he then walked to a dark alleyway where Jenny held a bag over her head as a mask, with brad looking on,
"great, I have to wear this bag on my head forever!" complained Jenny, "And it smells like fish tacos!"
Tyler walked up to the pair, "what's the meaning of this?" he asked,
brad turned his attention to Tyler, "jennys voice recorder is a bit off," he explained, then turning his attention back to Jenny, "but jen, everyone goes through this, it's completely natural,"
"brad?" Tyler said,
"yeah?" brad said, coming back to Tyler,
"for the record, robot acne is absolutely Unnatural," Tyler reprimanded, frustrated with brad when the robo puberty being something more serious,
and how right he was, for inside Jenny, the nanobot vexus shot into her, is hard at work, corrupting Jenny, for vexus' purposes, as he began to rewire a few of her controls, even indirectly toying with her emotions,
jenny's emotions first turned to joy and happiness as she stood up "hey, your right! It's not so bad!" she exclaimed,
Tyler raised an eyebrow "uh Jenny?"
"hey, maybe this bag thing will become a new fad: fish taco bag heads!" spoke Jenny in joy
"that's the spirit!" said brad
"brad, this is awfully suspicious" pointed out Tyler
inside Jenny, the nanobot again toys with her controls, changing her emotions to that of rage and anger as Jenny then stared at brad with hatred,
"this is all your fault," growled Jenny as she then grabbed brad by the arms and slammed him into the garbage bin,
"uwaaaa!" gepend brad as he was tossed,
"you and your lousy make over!" Jenny yelled
"ugh...Jenny..." groaned brad in pain
"Jenny! Stop it!" shouted Tyler as he went towards Jenny,
the nanobot continued to toy with jenny still as he rearranged many wires and cut many circuitboards, her emotions then turn to that of sorrow and despair,
"guys...I'm sorry, please forgive me!" shook Jenny,
"Jenny, it's okay..." spoke Tyler,
"yeah ...in fact ...I bet your...starting ...to clear up..." pointed out brad,
Jenny turned to brad "really?! You think so?!" she complained
"I'll bet!" spoke brad
"brad, it's not human acne!" scolded Tyler
Jenny removed the bag from her head, revealing 6 more bolts on her head, "...how do I look?" she asked,
"Jenny..." brad said,
"oh man..." exasperated Tyler
just then, Jenny's arm pits sprouted wires, and her arms began to enlarge, as well as many parts of her mechanical body, the cluster nanobot doing his work on her transformation into vexus' minion, Jenny then was embarrassed and decided to leave,
"I gotta go!" she gasped as she sped off for home,
"Jenny! Wait!" reached out brad,
Tyler then took a few steps as he saw Jenny rush away, and was greatly worried, this is getting worse by the minute, something's wrong with Jenny, I fear it might be Vexus' work, if she's turned completely to her side, Vexus will be unstoppable! There's only one thing i must do... he thought as he ran back to dr wakeman,
"tyler! Where are you going!?" shouted brad as he watched Tyler leave
late at night time, Tyler dashed across neighborhood to neighborhood back to dr wakeman, correctly guessing jenny might've beaten him to his destination, the wakeman residence with one goal in mind, continue his training to pilot firebird,
the young man had many thoughts running through his head, jenny! Wait for me! I must continue my training so I can save you! he continued to race home,
soon, he reached his destination, and immediately banged on the door, "dr wakeman!" Tyler called as he then stepped back
"young man it's 6:30 in the afternoon!" groaned dr wakeman as she opened the door "What could be doing over so late?"
Tyler then went up to dr wakeman "dr, there's no time! You gotta let me continue my training!" he hurried
"at this time!? It's late!" dr wakeman said concerned,
"but, Jenny is worsening by the minute!" Tyler pleaded, "I can't sit by and watch what happens when her transformation is completed! Please!"
dr wakeman looked thoughtful, she didn't know what was wrong with her daughter, if only she could come to her mother, so she could help her, but by the same token, if something IS wrong with Jenny, then Tyler might be able to help should Jenny ever turn against the earth, considering he is risking his sleep for jenny's sake,
dr wakeman then looked at Tyler in the eyes, "...very well...come in..." she said as she quietly led him downstairs,
again, they descended down to the basement, even at night time to continue training to pilot fire, the gigantic machine, but near the training room doors...
dr wakeman turned to Tyler, "Tyler," she replied, "if your going to save XJ-9 from her transformation and end this nightmare, not only must I put something together, but we also have to get you prepared to fly firebird in very little time!"
Tyler looked at dr wakeman, "how are we gonna do that?" he asked,
dr wakeman grinned, "I think I know just what we need..." she replied
Tyler looked at dr wakeman as she then nodded and then they entered the training room...
it was back at it with the vehicle simulator, Tyler was starting to get better. at it then he did just a few hours ago, even being able to dodge some of the obstacles now, and he went through more courses after that,
then, he continued again with the combat simulator Tyler was hitting faster, and harder this time, even getting a few hits on his bag and skills, they were starting to escalate,
at the flight simulator, he slowly got better with the flight maneuvers, dodging a few obstacles in the skies, and then blasting down a couple of virtual targets, his training escalating still,
finally, at the combat simulator, his martial arts skills were starting to show on the few punching bags at the training room, taking most of them down his training seemingly working, he was soon to become firebird...
deciding that they have done enough, dr wakeman then took Tyler to bed, deciding to let him rest there for the night, for soon, dr Wakeman's hope for firebird, to come to the world to fight for peace, may soon come true...
meanwhile lightyears away from earth, on cluster prime, vexus was on her sinister throne over looking her massive throne room, awaiting an update on her nanobot, when one of her drone troops went up to her for a report,
"my queen," her minion kneeled, "the mega cluster drone has successfully been repaired,"
"excellent," said vexus "and the nanobot?"
"yes, he has made it inside Xj-9," the cluster drone confirmed,
vexus grinned sinisterly "perfect, those pathetic gullible fools had no idea what I have snuck inside XJ-9" she boasted
the queen of cluster prime's plan to get Jenny over to her side was simple, since Jenny wouldn't accept vexus' offer to join, she would let a nanobot get into her systems, eventually corrupting her from the inside and when jenny's transformation was completed...she would be vexus' mindless slave against all humanity,
"the gullible humans wont even suspect what is happening to Xj-9, by the next earth day, those humans will all be destroyed along with the planet and they will have no one to blame but themselves!" vexus gloated,
the drone nodded,
then, vexus issued her next orders, "Drone! Have the mega cluster drone ready to join Xj-9 once she's mine!" she commanded,
the drone nodded, "yes, my queen," and he then left the throne room to execute vexus' commands for him...
vexus then decided to check on her pet's work, using her technopathic abilities she entered a channel with her nanobot, "nanobot, come in! This is your queen! Vexus!" she called
the nanobot, still attempting to transform Jenny, entered vexus' communication channel, "yes my queen!" he replied
"is Xj-9 fully corrupted?" spoke vexus over the radio,
the nanobot nodded, "I am close to completion of my mission!" he confirmed,
"excellent!" spoke vexus with sinister glee, "I shall join you at her location once you get her to the school location the humans call it,"
"acknowledged, my queen!" replied the nanobot, then when vexus cut off the communication line, he went back to work on jenny,
"XJ-9, soon you will be mine and these pathetic mammals will learn of folly of their utter gullibleness as we conquer the earth!" vexus laughed wickedly as her eyes flashed brightly, confident that her plan is about to succeed, without Jenny to defend them, the earth is doomed,
IS VEXUS' PLAN TO ACTUALLY SUCCEED?
IS JENNY GOING TO WIND UP A MINDLESS MONSTER TO DO THE CLUSTER QUEEN'S BIDDING?
WILL TYLER'S TRAINING BE ENOUGH TO THWART VEXUS?
WILL FIREBIRD BE AWAKENED IN TIME TO BATTLE THE VILLAINOUS VIXEN WHO THREATENS JENNY AND THE ENTIRE PLANET EARTH?
THE ANSWERS TO THESE AND OTHER BURNING QUESTIONS...
NEXT TIME ON THE BLUE GLADIATOR FIREBIRD!
