EPISODE 3 FIREBIRD BEGINS PART 3
THE NEXT DAY...
Date Wednesday august 20th 2014
Time 8:30 am
The next morning, Tyler had slept in a spare room dr wakeman had originally set up for jenny, she was currently downstairs tinkering with many electronic equipment, as it is in her passion to explore science,
in his bed Tyler swore he could hear a deep low mechanical growl form another room close to his, and heard even louder mechanical footsteps form his bed side,
downstairs dr wakeman continued to tinker with her inventions, and heard her daughter's large mechanical footsteps, unaware of her transformation...
"me go school now," said Jenny, now in a low deep voice, almost in a vocabulary similar to the hulk,
"be productive XJ9" mothered dr wakeman, but was soon startled as her daughter then smashed through the door, leaving a large hole at the entrance, "oh dear..."
in his room, Tyler felt the whole building shake, this make him wake with a jolt, "wha-what the!?" he stammered, then, wasting no time, he rushed out of his room and down the stairway, "dr wakeman! Dr wakeman!"
dr wakeman was startled to see Tyler rushing down the stairs, and as he panted he looked at the large hole at the door,
"dr wakeman, what's going on?!" worried tyler "I heard a loud crash at the door!"
dr wakeman pointed towards the door, "it's Xj-9!" she explained "She just left for school!"
"shoot!" Tyler snapped, "Her transformation must've progressed over night! There's no way she could be turning into a monster!" he then pondered in his thoughts "unless it had something to do with vexus..."
and when he saw vexus spray Jenny, he then saw vexus shoot something from her arm towards jenny's mouth, but, it wasn't a bullet, even if it was, it wouldn't do that much damage to her, and her transformation, THAT was the cause of jenny's bolts, and her transforming figure!
"it must've been Vexus!" cried Tyler as he snapped his fingers, "We've got to do something, but I have to get to high school before Jenny!"
but before Tyler could leave, dr wakeman stopped him, "Tyler," she spoke, "before you go, take this," she then handed to him hat looked like a wrist mounted device,
"what's that?" Tyler asked,
"this device will function as a watch and will enable you to call upon the three vehicles form very long distances," explained dr wakeman, "just press this button," she pointed towards a large blue button, on the center of the dial piece
"to call firebird?" asked Tyler,
"yes," confirmed dr wakeman, handing the young man the device "here, put it on,"
Tyler soon strapped the wrist device on his right arm, now having the means to summon firebird from anywhere he goes,
"whoa...awesome!" he complimented,
"I'm glad you like it," returned dr wakeman "but don't you think you should get going?"
Tyler immediately snapped out of his thoughts, returning to the task at hand, "yeah, I must hurry! Jenny! Hang on!" he then ran out the large break in the door,
"good luck Tyler!" cried dr wakeman "Save Xj-9 for me!"
as Tyler was on his way to do so, to tremorton high school,
then, over at tremorton high school, at the gymnasium, picture day was underway, and with it, many students, even brad and Tyler came over, Tyler while he was rushing to tremorton high, he couldn't find Jenny, and over at the photo backdrop, a supiscious looking photographer seemed to be enjoying the pictures,
"watch the birdie, smile, worth a dime!" spoke the photographer, with a devilish smile, as she snapped a picture,"Oh...that's the picture!"
over at the waiting line, Tyler and brad were looking on to the scene ahead of them,
"brad?" asked Tyler, "is it just me or is the camera woman acting...off..."
brad then nodded but then shrugged a bit, "I guess," he replied, "but hey, we gotta have someone for a camera man, or woman in that matter..."
Tyler sighed again, "I guess, hey, where's Jenny?"
just then, Tyler and the entire class heard loud mechanical footsteps nearby, then, the two gymnasium doors swung open loudly, it was Jenny
"what the...hey hey?" stammered Tyler as he and brad looked towards their mechanical friend,
Jenny looked drastically different then she was yesterday, she was a lot bigger then she was yesterday, now bearing much larger bulk, almost even bearing the look of a large mechanical brute bearing even more nuts and bolts, this, was the nanobot's doing his work almost completed,
"oh man..." stuttered Tyler as their now large metal friend came towards them,
"friend..." Jenny groaned as she then rushed towards them,
"Jenny! wait!" Tyler tried to stop her, only for him and brad to end up on the floor with Jenny on top of them, leaving a large crack on the floor and the two of them in pain,
"okay...maybe there is something wrong with you..." stuttered brad,
"about time someone noticed," reprimanded Tyler, turning his head to brad,
then, a school teacher came up to them, "Jenny, what are you doing here? Get up!" she scolded,
Tyler and brad groaned in pain as the large Jenny got up on her feet,
"Stop horsing around and get in line, young lady!" the scoop teacher reprimanded again, then taking her slightly larger hand "now everyone gets their school photo taken today...you can't expect special treatment because you have body image issues" as she dragged Jenny away effortlessly, to the stage,
brad and Tyler then rose to their feet, dusting themselves off as they watch Jenny being dragged to the stage,
"well if expect to do that, they need a mechanic," pointed out brad
"took the words right out of my mouth brad..." groaned Tyler,
at the camera, even as the transformed Jenny is being taken towards the photo stage, the photographer looked towards Jenny, not phased by her appearance, but looked on with grim satisfaction, and a smile on her face,
ah...Xj-9...my nano bot has done well, and now...hehehehehe...we have our ultimate weapon at last, the photographer mentally gloated,
Jenny was taken towards the stage then she looked distraught and tried to stop the photo by waving her hand,
"! No photo! No photo!" stammered Jenny,
the photographer only grinned in satisfaction, "watch the birdie..." she snickered sickly as she snapped the photo, jenny's eyes then shrinking as they soon flashed red,
then, large wires, 2 each connected on both of jenny's biceps, and 3 wires each connected on her arms, and more wires connected on both her legs, then her eyes became fully red, as she then let out a beastly roar, the crowd panicked, as the now mutated Jenny tossed the photo stage around,
"what the!?" Tyler said in shock,
Tyler and brad quickly stepped back and dodged the stage as Tyler glared at the photographer,
"Who the heck are you?!" he shouted
the photographer turned to the angry teen, and started to snicker, soon turning to fully wicked laughter, which throwing the camera out, smashing it, and continued laughing, then, suddenly, a green light began to unveil mechanical skin, along with green and yellow as well, soon unveiling the photographer's true identity, vexus!
"come now, darling...who else...but me?" gloated vexus, making her presence known,
"whoa! No way!" shook brad,
"Vexus!" shouted Tyler,
"yes..." confirmed vexus, "and my...what a difference a day makes in a young robots life..."
Jennys eyes flashed again as she turned and stepped towards her new master,
"one day you swear your loyalty to the human race...the next...your my obedient pet!" cherished vexus "Now, finish destroying the school!"
Jenny roared in achknwolegemnt as the students fled for their lives,
"once you've warmed up we can take over your pitiful home town," vexus spoke over her plans, "and then this whole pathetic planet!" her eyes flashed,
then Jenny began her destructive rampage, she tore off a pair of bleachers, then punched the ground, and punched into a other set of bleachers roaring while doing so,
"Jenny! Stop!" pleaded brad
"brad! I doubt she will listen!" spoke out Tyler as he then looked towards his watch as the chaos ensured, there's only one thing to do! he thought and he ran off,
"Tyler! where are you going?" panicked brad as he ran for cover,
Tyler then ran behind a corner as Jenny threw a few chairs around, as Tyler then managed to get behind cover, he then pressed the button on his watch, calling for the 3 vehicles,
underneath the wakeman residence, the 3 vehicles hummed to life as an alarm went off, the tanker rolled along from it's slot, the speeder and the scout jet then blasted off from their spots as they all went into individual hatches that would take them to the surface above the hangar of the wakeman residence, on the soft grassy ground the vehicles made it to the surface and are now heading for tremorton high school,
Tyler then headed outside to wait for tanker and the vehicles to arrive, back at the gym, Jenny roared as she began to tear off yet another set of bleachers,
"Jenny stop!" brad pleaded as Jenny then turned to him again, "It's me! Brad your bud! Remember!"
Jenny only growled as her master, vexus flew down in front of her, to face one of the many beings she hates, humans,
"Xj-9, only remembers what the cluster tells her to do," vexus informed brad, "namely she's first and foremost a robot like us! My personal slave, my ultimate weapon against life and mankind! Now destroy the nasty little vertebrae for me, won't you darling?"
Jenny roared in acknowledgment, and began to chase brad, throughout the gym,
"Jenny! No! Stop this now!" pleaded brad as he ran amongst the gym, feeling the terror that without Jenny, the earth was helpless against beings like vexus,
then, brad tripped amongst the floor of the gym as Jenny growled, but before she could destroy the helpless human in front of her...
"VEXUS!"
a voice rang out in the gym as the doors swung open, revealing dr wakeman, and tuck,
"I knew I smelled you stench on this," shouted dr wakeman "especially with Tyler and tuck telling me of what was happening what was happening to XJ-9,"
"well you too late! She's mine now," remarked vexus "and you pathetic fools have no one to blame but yourselves!"
"we'll see about that Vexus!" retorted dr wakeman, as sheathed pulled out a pair of electric car jumpers, and handed them to tuck, "Alright tuck I need you to attach these to the fuse box over there!"
tuck looked towards a fuse box on the far edge of the gymnasium, but looked even more frightened when he realizes he has to get past Jenny,
"okay! I guess..." tuck shuddered,
"go!" cried dr wakeman as tuck then grabbed the car jumpers and ran towards the fuse box, then dr wakeman brought out another pair of electric jumpers, "Now listen to me, Xj-9 and put these on! The sooner we short circuit you the sooner we short circuit you, the sooner we can put an end to this cluster nonsense"
but Jenny, still under vexus' control, roared as she rushed towards her creator, and tuck, as they, were now the ones being chased, each trying to reach the fuse box,
"young lady! Stop it's me!" pleaded dr wakeman "Your creator Nora wakeman! I'm your mother!"
Jenny then turned her attention to tuck as he then yelped when the large robot roared at him, tuck then slid below a desk, making Jenny bomb her titanium armored head, stunning her, as dr wakeman kept running about,
"tuck!" she cried, "Don't stop! Keep going!"
and keep going tuck did, as he ran out from under the desk, Jenny growled as she turned and marched towards her mother, dr wakeman, as tuck and brad were watching the scene unfold,
"wakeman!" worried tuck
"ms wakeman no!" cried brad
vexus roared with wicked laughter, "With Xj-9 at my command you fleshbags are helpless aganist my power!" she gloated, "Xj9! Finish her!"
Jenny growled and was just about to destroy dr wakeman when...
BOOOOOM!
an explosion shook the building as everyone turned towards the source, and found tanker, speeder and the scout jet entering the school scene,
"what!" said vexus surprised "What is this!?"
in the cockpit of tanker, Tyler was at the controls,
"sorry to keep you waiting! Eveyrone!" he cried, "I'll save jenny for you all!"
"Tyler?" asked brad, baffled
"tyler! You've made it!" cheered dr wakeman
"yeah!" cheered tuck as he then made another run towards the fuse box,
then, Tyler pressed a button in his cockpit, "take this!" he cried, then the tanker started firing it's two double barrel machine guns at Jenny, then the speeder fired it's missiles, and the scout jet fired it's twin laser cannons
but the weapons didn't phase Jenny, being made out of extra hard titanium alloy, and only roared as she survived,
"oh no! It didn't work at all!" exclaimed Tyler in horror,
then Jenny reached and grabbed tanker, then trapped the speeder and the scout jet, rendering Tyler helpless in vexus' grasp,
"Tyler! No!" cried brad
"oh no! Tyler!" worried dr wakeman "He doesn't stand a chance aganist Xj9!"
in the cockpit of tanker, sparks flew everywhere as Tyler tried to get tanker moving again, "I can't move!" he grunted, pulling a leaver,
"your earth vehicles are like toys to Xj-9!" laughed vexus, delighted,
as tuck watched as his friend was helpless in jenny's grasp, unable to use his weapons tuck still had to go for the fuse box ahead,
"eh! I got to keep going!" said tuck with newfound resolve
vexus then sighted the young child headed for the fuse box, and flew towards him, tuck then coined his way until he made it to the fusebox
"over there!" tuck attempted to reach, but before he could, he was grabbed by vexus, "Huh! Whoa!"
"give me those mammal!" snarled vexus as she held the defenseless child in her arms
tuck struggled, but barely managed to chuck the jumpers to brad, "catch brad!" he cried,
brad barely caught the jumpers, "tuck!" he shouted
"no!" worried dr wakeman, looking as if all hope was gone,
vexus continued to hold tuck in her arms, as tuck then gave a loud cry,
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"
this cry for help made Tyler freeze for a moment, hearing a cry from a dear friend of his, a poor child, in danger, in a mechanical witch's grasp, he then began to feel as if much energy was flowing through him,
"tuck..." he summered, his body then began to tense up, and then was surrounded by blue energy as he gave an angry shout as he then released his anger
"GGGRRAAAAAAAAAAA!"
the same blue energy then surrounded the 3 vehicles, they then managed to escape jenny's grasp, making her fall to the ground, this bewildered dr Walkman, brad and tuck
"what the!?" said dr wakeman in awe,
"what's happening?" said brad and tuck, both in shock,
the 3 vehicles then came towards each other, and then a large pillar tornado, made from pure blue energy, began to surround the 3 vehicles, it's light filling the gym, as Jenny slowly got to her feet,
"my creations..." stuttered dr Wakeman,
inside the tornado, Tyler was still surging with energy alongside tanker, speeder, and scout jet as the energy increased,
"graaaa!" Tyler cried out, and then, he heard a voice ring through his head,
"Young man," spoke the mysterious voice "with your sense of justice to protect those you love...go beyond bravery, beyond courage! Now! Become a hero and fight for those you love! The invincible machine! Firebird!"
"firebird..." Tyler spoke in awe, then he looked towards a lever on his left side, and he then pulled it, "CHANGE! FIREBIRD!"
then, the transformation began,
speeder's twin thrusters then extended to form legs, then the feet popped out, properly forming the lower torso,
tanker's top then split open to form both arms, and the upper torso, the cockpit then retracting,
the scout jet's wings then went upward, forming jet like wings, the twin cannons retracting, it's cockpit also retracting,
then, the 3 vehicles connected, both halves of tanker's top then extended to form arms, and a pair of mechanical hands pop out, then the chest of the large mechanical body then revealed a blue Phoenix like symbol, then a head popped out on top, ears started to form, the crown piece split into 3 tips, a face mask revealed it self with 3 blue like marks on each side of the mouth plate, the blue diamond like optics flashed light blue,
then the now combined robot made a few punches before making a pose as blue energy exploded from him, the blue gladiator firebird had awakened!
he then swooped down and faced the monstrous Jenny, who growled and began to rush towards Tyler, but firebird's eyes glowed bright blue as his left forearm began to spin, then he thrusted outward and the fore arm fired like a missile at Jenny, striking her in the cheek as she was sent spawning across the gym, and the forearm came ball to firebird, regaining his arm, Tyler could feel firebird's intense energy as Jenny slowly staggered to her feet growled as firebird readied himself,
"what are doing Xj9?" growled vexus as she still held tuck hostage, "Don't just stand there, destroy him!"
Jenny growled as she and the new hero faced each other, dr wakeman and brad looked on in awe as Jenny then roared and prepared to throw a punch but firebird caught it, grabbing her fist, and then Jenny threw another, but firebird caught it also, soon enough the two giant robots held each other, preventing them form attacking the other as vexus looked on in amusement,
"even with your earth machines, you cannot defeat the cluster empire!" laughed vexus
but then, just before Jenny could gain the upper hand, firebird's eyes flashed as his strength increased and began to lift Jenny up,
"what!?" cried vexus in shock
then, the blue gladiator flung the cluster controlled monstrous jenny into the air, and then she landed a few feet away from firebird, barely getting up as vexus looked furious, how could, after much careful planning, her scheme go wrong now? to be thwarted by another robot!?
"why you!" the cluster queen growled "Destroy him now!"
Jenny got up and roared as she rushed towards firebird, preparing to destroy him, but firebird then prepared to throw a hard spinning punch, as Jenny closed in, firebird mad his move as he thrusted his spinning fist into jenny's stomach the cluster controlled brute groaned in pain, as the hit was too much to bare as Jenny slowly fell down, as firebird stood triumphant,
but before Jenny could get up again, dr wakeman saw her chance! she went over to her daughter, and applied the electrical car jumpers on her metal hair tips,
"brad! Now!" dr wakeman cried,
brad wasted no time as he then went over to the fusebox and applied the second set of electric car jumpers, and within seconds, jenny was electrocuted, short-circuiting her even as she got back up on her feet as firebird looked on,
"Jenny! Wake up!" Tyler pleaded "Come back to us! Jenny!"
as Tyler pleaded, firebird's arms began to flex a bit as his chest began to glow with energy, then fired a large blue energy beam at Jenny, she roared as she was then encased in white light, it soon dissipated and show jenny back to normal and the cluster nanobot out of her system,
Tyler sighed in relief, "it worked..."
dr wakeman then went over and extracted the cluster nanobot,
"aha! I knew it all along!" exclaimed dr wakeman,
brad then looked down on the floor looking saddened,"aw man.." he sighed sadly, realizing he should've listened to Tyler,
"gra...what a waste to lose a precious robot to such a pathetic bunch of creatures..." growled vexus, still holding tuck, "I'll just have console myself by playing with this fleshling whelp..." he began rubbing tuck's head
Jenny regained her sense and saw vexes holding tuck, but realizing she can't use her weapons without tuck being used as a human shield, Jenny then grabbed the nanobot and showed him to vexus his queen,
"release tuck! Or your nanobot is toast!" demanded Jenny,
"my queen!" shrieked the nanobot in panic,
vexus saw her minion helpless, she thought she had them at the palm of her hand with tuck as her hostage, but it appears her now freed slave has turned the tables, therefore, the mechanical vixen had no choice,
"grrr...very well, a trade," she growled, releasing tuck to Jenny and retrieving the nanobot, but then gave another look towards the pair of heroes, knowing she has one last card to pull, "don't think this is over! It has only begun! Come forth my minion!"
vexus then summoned another portal, and her other mechanical enforcer, the mega cluster drone, stepped out and turned to face the heroes, eyes flashing red,
"are you ready for round 2?" he menaced,
Tyler, then put on a brave face, knowing this won't be like last time, "this time I won't run! I will fight to the end!" he shouted with newfound resolve, his friends stepped away, letting firebird handle the situation with the mega cluster drone,
the mega cluster drone scoffed, and then pointed his arm cannon, "prattle on human!" he gloated as he fired at Tyler,
firebird managed to dodge the laser by take strafing to the right, then he fired his wrist mounted machine guns at the mega cluster drone, with little effect, then the mechanical enforcer threw a punch in which firebird counterattacked, showing a result of his training, the mega cluster drone tried again, but was once again countered, being sent back a few feet,
"Why you!" growled the metal brute as he then fired a laser beam from his chest,
but then, firebird held out his right hand and summoned a shield, and when the beam hit, the shield absorbed the laser blast like a solar panel, managing to block the blast, firebird again faced his opponent,
"what!?" said the mega cluster drone in shock,
"I'm done running! Time to finish this!" shouted Tyler as firebird's eyes flashed, his left leg fin opened and a handle shot out, firebird grabbed it and the handle soon became a sword, as firebird then swung it around, and got into a stance, "the heart is used...the evil world is destroyed...the sword that never forgives evil! RAIJIN KEN!"
the mega cluster drone huffed, "take this!" he cried as he shot his twin arm cannons, but firebird managed to deflect them with his sword
Tyler glared at vexus "Vexus!" he shouted "In your quest to anhiliate mankind, you try to turn a teenage robot who tries to find her place over to your side and use her for your own selfish purposes! I won't forgive you for that!"
firebird then swung his sword around before pointing it up ward, as blue like wind began to shoot out from the fins of the handle before the blade was then covered in blue energy, then, firebird's jets shot him into the air above the mega cluster drone, with the sword ready to swing,
"take this!" shouted Tyler "LIGHTNING BOLT SLASH!"
firebird then swooped down and swung his sword, cleaving the mega cluster drone in two, sparks then began to fly everywhere,
"graaa! Impossible! Graaaaa!" groaned the mega cluster drone as he then exploded into pieces,
firebird after little bit relinquished his sword and stood triumphant, eyes flashing bright blue along with his Phoenix symbol on his chest,
"alright!" cheered Jenny,
"yeah!" cheered brad,
"way to go!" congratulated tuck
"that's how we rock!" shouted brad
"oh thank goodness," said dr wakeman, grateful that Tyler had succeeded,
vexus growled with rage, "graaaa! Curse you firebird!" she yelled, "From this day forward, you face the cluster empire! And this war won't end until you are defeated and Xj-9 is mine! I won't forget this!" she then opened a portal, and retreated back to cluster prime, swearing vengeance,
"and we'll be ready, Vexus..." spoke Tyler as he looked on,
then as the group of heroes stood, the school teacher came up, along with everyone else, having seen the whole thing, "well...now that all that's over how about we get your picture?" she asked, Jenny then nodded, as she was again led to the photo stage, which had just been repaired, "watch the birdie!" she smiled as jenny's school photo had been shot,
firebird stood triumphant as Tyler remained inside the cockpit and watched as many students were in awe, looking at the new hero of tremrton, who had been awakened, answering the horrified cries of a little child, and had thwarted vexus' scheme magnificently...
Time 6:50 pm
after school was over, at stately wakeman residence, Tyler and dr wakeman were in a large room on the table, in their seats, having a discussion about today's events, concerning Tyler's performance, and firebird's awakening,
"so..." spoke Tyler "dr wakeman...did I do well?"
"oh yes you did!" replied dr wakeman "You did a fine job saving my little girl and the earth from Vexus!"
"thanks!" cheered Tyler but then slumped his head down, and lamented "But, as much as I hate to admit it...I guess this may be my only time being in that Awesome machine huh?"
dr wakeman then thought it over, and then made her mind, "hmmm...maybe not..."
Tyler looked up, "really?"
"Tyler Watkins," spoke dr wakeman, "I have made my decision,"
"yes?" asked Tyler, "what is it?"
dr wakeman gave her answer, "I have decided that from this day forward for saving my beloved daughter and thwarting Vexus, I hereby grant you the privilege of being firebird and protect the earth alongside Xj-9! Congratulations young man, you have earned this..."
Tyler was taken back, as if a weight had been removed from his shoulders and heart, "dr wakeman..." he muttered, "thank you..."
just then, Jenny, brad, and tuck rushed in with cheer, congratulating their friend, the newest hero,
"Tyler! Isn't this exciting!?" cheered Jenny, putting a hand on his shoulder,
"Jenny..." said Tyler,
"yeah!" cheered tuck "Your getting to be like jenny now!"
"tuck..." Tyler turned to the young child,
"your a real super hero now like jenny! I'm proud of you man!" congratulated brad,
"brad..." Tyler stuttered, "Eveyrone...I will protect you all...I promise..." he vowed as tears of joy ran through his eyes looking hopeful for what comes next...
as the sun started to set, Tyler ran through the woods, and then came across a nearby cliff, and looking towards the city of tremorton in the setting sun, and in his thoughts makes a solum vow in his thoughts,
Everyone...i've never thought that once in my life...I could look forward to something like this, but now...I will protect the earth and all the people who live here...with firebird, I will always strive to make a difference, big or small, and help those who are different than others, help those who can't help themselves, but most importantly alongside jenny firebird and myself...we will fight aganist Vexus and many others, and bring peace to everyone, and good will towards man...I will fight, to protect you all...I always will...
these thoughts ran through his head as he knew one thing, he now had a new life to protect those he loves, and battle the forces of evil, for Tyler will fight on for the people of earth and his friends and family, for this day forth...
the blue gladiator Firebird was born...
and this concludes the origin story of firebird, and a fitting one at that, but there is more to come with firebird and Jenny/XJ9!
