Angel: First, Matt if you're talking about The Last Kids on Earth, you wanna tell me where you found out this information? Because I haven't seen anything confirming it. Don't get my hopes up for a show that's been dead silent for almost three years if you don't have proof.
Second, I took a while to come back because I have now officially graduated college with a degree! So that's pretty awesome. Thanks to those who waited patiently especially since I was writing a special! Hinting to the people who had asked me why I hadn't updated at all. And to those who kept being impatient, if you can't understand that I was writing both this and dealing with graduating, then clearly I don't know you.
"300 years ago today, this entire area was nearly destroyed by a devastating earthquake. The Earth was torn apart for many miles, but the fault line stops right here. And here is where we settled," Vice Principal Razinsky is speaking with a smile, wearing a coat, hat, tie, and badge. "And we called our town Termorton!" He announces to a crowd, who all cheer for their home.
"Tremorton, Tremorton, ra, ra, ra!"
Suddenly a Cluster alien appears, before getting punched by Jenny.
"Here we knew we would always be safe."
"Yay! Safety!" The crowd cheers back.
Two Cluster aliens approach, before getting grabbed by both Jenny and Ms. Mecha.
"And so as Grand Marshall of the Tremorton Tri-Centenfall celebration..."
All of the Cluster aliens that the girls beat up together are gathered in a ball, both of them holding it up. Then they toss at Vexus, who was at it again with her attacks on them. She ducks her head as the aliens all go flying past her.
"I take great pride in unveiling this towering monument to our town's history," The vice principal holds a rope, about to pull it.
Vexus cranks a lever to make a weapon point at the girls, firing it. "Jenny, watch out!" Amy points at the weapon flying straight for them as Jenny was about to punch another alien. Both of them get hit and are sent flying.
"I present to you..." Razinksy pulls the rope to reveal a small scale. "Tremorton's first and only Richter Scale." The crowd cheers as the scale sits on a podium, the man smiling. "300 years of safety, and I've never felt safer."
His eyes open as he hears a noise, with the girls flying straight past everyone, making either their clothes fly off or their hair to be a mess. The two hold the missile while flying around, noticing all the people nearby. "Hey, Tremorton," Jenny calls out, laying on top of the missile the next time it comes around. Amy just shakes her head, her hand on top of her helmet. "Are we late?"
"Run for your lives!" Tuck screams while running into the crowd. "Ooh, a rocket!"
"Hang on, Jen and Ms. Mecha!" Brad calls out to them. "I'll save you!" He rushes forward to help.
"He's gonna botch it up, isn't he?" Piri looks annoyed at him.
"Yup," Emily agrees while crossing her arms.
"Can't be Brad without botching it," Claudia nods at her sisters.
Brad jumps onto an old-time bicycle and rides it...going past the lightning bike that's free, disappointing the seller. "Jenny! Ms. Mecha!" Brad looks up while catching up to the duo. "Jump!" He ducks from a sign, going past some obstacles. "I'll catch you!" He bumps into a pole.
"And there it is..." Emily sighs at him, pinching her nose.
"Poor Brad, he tries so hard to be a hero, but he's just not built for it."
"And yet here I am," Amy rolls her eyes at her. "Who's not built for it again?"
"Well, I don't mean all humans," Jenny gestures to the brunette. "Obviously there's you..." She laughs awkwardly at Amy. She clears her throat, looking down at the missile. "Well, I think I've had my fun with you." She uses her pigtails to fly it upwards, Amy using her rocket boots. "This oughta give the folks below a heck of a lightshow," She flies off from it and fires some lasers, but they don't work. The people scream as they run away from the flying lasers, one of them going through a hat and ruining the man's poor hair. One of them then hits a sign advertising headache relief. Then the lasers destroy all but one balloon. The balloon man gives it to the kid and runs off, and then the last balloon is destroyed, making the little boy cry.
"I think it's safe to say that we shouldn't do that again," Amy winces while glancing at the ground.
"Laser-proof, huh? Very tricky, Vexus. Well, we've got a few tricks of our own," Jenny says while the girls fly around the missile. Jenny goes inside it, Amy flying backwards and pointing her rocket boots inside the missile to make it overheat. Then Jenny makes it explode into pieces. However, the flaming pieces fall onto the ground, Jenny flying down confidently. "Enjoy the fireworks, everybody?" She smiles and the crowd gasps as they hear something else. The tip of the missile is about to fall when Jenny catches it. "No problem. Your friendly neighborhood heroines have it all under control," She tosses it around casually before tossing it into the air, waving. "Bye bye, bomb-bomb."
"Heh..." Amy rubs her arm awkwardly at how arrogant Jenny's being. The piece goes flying into the air, the crack from the earthquake just outside their location.
"XJ9," Nora angrily stomps over to Jenny. "That was inexcusably reckless."
"Hey, I trashed the thing, didn't I? So why get your bloomers in a bundle?"
"I don't think we should expect easy stuff from Vexus," Amy crosses her arms, raising a brow.
"You wrecked the rocket, but did you girls disarm the warhead?" Nora asks in a panic.
"Did I what the what?" Jenny blinks in confusion.
"That's the part that goes boom!" Nora narrows her eyes at her.
"Oops," Jenny replies meekly, Amy clearing her throat.
"Maybe we should go after it now!" She urges, the two flying so fast they make clothes fly off of people. They see the warhead flying towards the crack and catch it, but they almost fall through doing so. Jenny looks down at it.
"Steady, girl...the trick to defusing a Cluster bomb is to cut the wire behind the-" However, before they can stop it, it explodes.
"Uh, is that supposed to happen?" Don points at the explosion, the Richter Scale going off and shaking. The two slide into the ground, hitting the platform. A bigger longer crack has formed, and then everything falls apart around them. Jenny sighs in relief while standing up, dusting herself off.
"What, not even a scratch?" Vexus demands angrily in the sky.
"I wouldn't say no scratch. More like medical attention," Amy coughs up smoke as Jenny helps her up, the girl covered in smoke.
"That's it! I've tried everything: missiles, drones, robots, nanobots, Smytus Krackus, acne! Well, no more Mr. Nice Queen. If I can't bring Jennifer to the Cluster, I'll bring the Cluster to you." She pulls a lever to make her platform into a portal, and it falls to the ground in front of them.
"Oh, no. Mean old Vexus threatened us," Jenny looks around in fake fear. "We're so scared," She kicks away the platform.
"Wait, not there!" Amy tries to extend her hand...but it crashes into the platform where the scale is, causing it to fall to the ground.
"Double oops."
"That was where our only Richter Scale was sitting..." Amy sighs wearily, a hand on her head.
"The celebration is ruined!"
"All our work turned to rubble!"
"My balloon is broke!"
"We've known they were a menace all along," Brit brags next to her cousin.
"You destroyed my statue!"
"You ruined my stage!"
"You wrecked my old-timey bicycle!"
"Uh, no, that was me," Brad points to himself, smiling and crossing his arms.
"Oh, yeah, my mistake."
"Is this why I built you, XJ9? Or why you wear that armor, Ms. Mecha?" Nora demands the both of them. "So you could showboat when you should be superheroing? I'm very disappointed in you both," She walks off along with everyone else, who are all mad at them.
"Somebody should scrap them."
"A pox upon their houses."
"Why can't we do anything right?" Jenny laments to Amy as they sit on top of the rubble. "Why was I even built? Why did I think that you could fight by my side? We're about as useful as a...broken Richter Scale," She holds up a piece of it, tossing it.
"Hey, don't talk like that," Amy tries to cheer her up, her arms crossed over her knees. "We're not useless. We just...need to remember why we're even doing this. Jen, we're crime-fighting partners for a reason."
"Yeah well, it's a stupid reason. I don't think we'll ever fit in." As she's saying this, the broken piece fall on Vexus' platform, activating it and making the piece disappear. Amy sighs at her failed attempt. "I wish we could just disappear off the face of the planet."
They hear a noise behind them, turning around and seeing the portal. Her pigtails stretch as it tries to pull her in, but it was like a magnetic force. Amy flies backwards into the portal. "Whoa!" Amy stumbles in alarm, Jenny's head stretching as Amy manages to catch Jenny's body. The top of her head turns into a winch to help pull her out, but the rubble breaks underneath them, causing them both to fall though.
"Jenny?" Brad calls out for them. "Hey, Jenny? Ms. Mecha?" He arrives with Tuck, Sheldon, and Amy's sisters. "We came to help you clean up. That's funny, I could've sworn I heard her muttering bitterly to Ms. Mecha."
"Well, this rubble isn't going to clean itself," Tuck shovels some dirt into the portal, one of the pieces busting it and causing it to shut down. The girls fall through dark clouds, both of their bodies reacting in strange ways such as stretching out their faces. A portal opens up somewhere and they fall through, landing hard on solid ground. The rocks that Tuck tossed fall on them, causing Jenny's pigtail to break and for Amy's boots to malfunction. They stand up, seeing some frightening machinery and backing away. Jenny hits something and a piece falls, the two backing away in alarm. They see all sorts of scary robots, Jenny pointing a laser gun and both of them falling on top of machinery. It moves on a conveyor belt, and they look to be in some sort of factory.
Both of them stand up, Amy looking terrified. "What is this place?" She murmurs in fear as the machines notice the duo. They both flinch and run off, looking up to see more of them. Jenny activates her pigtails the same time that Amy stomps her boots to make them fly. They jump off into the air, and then realize that their flying equipment is damaged as they fall back onto the belt. Once again they try flying but go out of control, landing on the belt again and heading towards flames. The duo look down to see the incinerator down below, looking back at the machines heading towards them. They wobble backwards and fall, the machines flying over and not seeing anything. The two had hidden underneath some machinery, pushing it away.
"That was close," Amy murmurs to herself.
"Yeah, but now-" A spotlight interrupts Jenny and they look up to see someone looking down at them. They immediately get up and run, being met with another sinister face. The robot grabs the both of them, tossing the girls into a van.
"Hey! What is the meaning of this?" Amy demands as they look out.
"Well, Jen, you wanted to get off the Earth. Welcome to Cluster Prime..." The door slams in front of them, Amy backing away in alarm as soon as she heard it.
An alarm goes off in the Wakeman household, followed by several more alarms. Nora runs around before going to her computer. "Is it Jenny? Or Ms. Mecha?" Sheldon asks in worry, as they hadn't found their friends and were now concerned.
"No, I don't know where they are, but we've got bigger problems now. Much bigger." The group all gasp in horror as they see what the problem is. "This is going to be a doozy."
The girls are engulfed in darkness for what seems like a while until the door opens. They look up at the guard in front of them. "End of the ride, punks." They grab the two of them and drag them out. "Time to go back where your kind belong." They drop the two...in front of a high school?
"School? You're sending us to school?" Jenny asks, Amy's eyes widening in alarm. "Do you not know who we are?"
"I know all I need to know. You're hooligans, and you should be in school by order of Queen Vexus," The guard argues back.
"She's the education monarch."
"All right, let's go," The other one pushes them forward and Amy stops him, laughing nervously.
"We'll go with you in a minute, but we need to talk. Now," She pulls Jenny to the side, glancing back to make sure the guard isn't listening. "Jen, all this might work for you, but I can't be seen here! Don't you remember what they'll do to me? Especially since Vexus knows who I am," She gestures to herself.
"We just have to disguise you. Can't your suit do that?"
"My power systems got damaged from the fall, I can use some of my weapons and that's it," Amy frowns, looking conflicted.
"W-what happens when you run out of power? Would you get exposed?" Jenny looks around in a panic.
"No, thankfully the armor doesn't pop off when my suit shuts down, but we need something believable if I'm gonna walk around here."
"You're right..." Jenny rubs her chin, and then she smiles. "I know just the thing! Uh, hold still."
Amy raises a brow until the robot pushes her into a charging station. She connects herself to it and then forms it into a changing station. She makes a copy of her own body and implants it into the station. "Uhh, this is safe, right?" Amy looks around nervously.
"We'll just have to test that theory."
"Wait, what-"
Metal pieces lock onto Amy so that she has Jenny's build, but just in the same colors as her superhero suit. She thankfully gets her own face, and gets paint sprayed on to look more like a robot. Metal clamps around her hair and Jenny stops the process, Amy stepping out. Jenny smiles in relief. "There, see? That wasn't so hard."
"Mm," Amy glares a bit for Jenny doing that so carelessly.
The two walk into the halls to see a school full of robots, with tube paths, a lab, a charging station, and an oil fountain. "Here you go, Professor," The guard escorts them into a classroom. "You better keep your eye on these ones."
The professor is a giant dome surrounded by students. "Do not worry, Professor. Nothing escapes my optical sensor array." He then gets a ball of paper thrown at him. "Okay, who threw that? I'm waiting," He glances around as the robots all laugh. Jenny and Amy sit next to each other, seeing a robot girl waving to them. Jenny waves back with a smile. She then freezes and looks up ahead.
Come on, bolt-brain. Stay focused. We need to get out of here before they figure out who we are. If we can get past that gate, we'll be out of this brainwashing factory. Then we can both get off this messed up planet.
Jenny nudges her friend, who glances at her. The robot jerks her head to the gate. Amy takes one glance at it and then nods, understanding the plan.
"What a day. I need a nap in the server lounge," The professor jumps off from his post and walks off. Jenny extends her neck, the two sneaking over to the wall next to the door. She then extends her arms, Amy hanging on so that they can both go into the vents. They crawl through, ending up in the trash pile from the cafeteria, before going through the pipes. They land in a heap on the floor once they're out.
"Ow...okay, not as fun as I thought that was gonna be," Amy says in a bit of pain before they both stand up, hugging the wall. They sneak around, looking at the windows. Jenny makes her bottom half into a drill to make a hole through the floor. Amy spins around rapidly to dig herself in, and they both emerge from the other side, the brunette a bit dizzy.
"Heh heh heh."
"Hey, you're those new kids," The robot girl from before looks down at them. Four more robots emerge behind her. "Look, it's the new kids I was telling you about." She places her hands on her hips, the two flinching. "So what's up with the hole, new kid?"
"Uh, we were just...we were just digging for uh, worms," Jenny makes something behind her back, Amy flinching.
"Seriously?" Amy whispers to her.
"I panicked!" Jenny hisses back, the brunette rolling her eyes. The five give them awkward looks. "Uh, I mean," A robotic insect lands on her finger. "I was digging for mecha-nano-worms. For mecha-biology class?" She smiles awkwardly and Amy glances away, wondering if she's made it better or worse.
"I get it, you guys are some of those back-to-the-motherboard treehuggers. That's cool. My name's Vega," She offers her hands to them. "This is Drab."
"Hey!" He looks a lot like Brad.
"Shell."
"Hello," He gives an awkward wave, reminding them of Sheldon.
"This is Tuff."
"Hey, how you doin'?" He speaks in a deep voice, Amy almost recoiling back in alarm.
"And finally, Mya."
"Hi!" Another robot similar to Amy waves at them, even being taller than the rest of her friends.
"We're going downtown. Wanna come?" Vega offers the girls.
"Downtown? Are you sure that's safe?" Jenny wonders in concern.
"Oh, don't worry," Vega grabs their hands and drags them off. "I'll make sure Tuff keeps his roto-treads to himself." Tuff flinches while the others laugh, looking annoyed as they leave. They stop on a hill, looking to downtown which looks like a big city.
"This is Cluster Prime?" Jenny asks in surprise.
"I was expecting it to be a lot more terrifying," Amy murmurs, equally as shocked.
"From the sticks, huh? Never been to a robo-tropolis before? You're gonna love it," Vega states and Jenny smiles, walking off. Amy raises a brow, wondering if Jenny might be enjoying this a little too much. Drab holds open the bus door and they all rush in. The robot bus stands up and runs off into town. Once they're dropped off, they see robotic birds, cafes, other robot people, and sonic waves going off everywhere. There's even a robot street performer. A toaster dog runs up, barking at Jenny and Amy. The two bend down to pet it, and it gives off toast, causing them all to laugh.
They visit the museum, looking at pictures of robot parts, but the last one is of a meadow. Jenny laughs as Vega gives a put-off look.
Then they go to the movies, watching a romance one as the girls are touched, and the boys...not so much. Shell hides into his body, Mya looking at him and giggling. He pops up in embarrassment.
"So, Jenny, Amy, what do you think?" Vega asks the duo as they look over the city, the sun setting.
"It's beautiful; it's like some kind of robot paradise."
"Heh, yeah..." Amy rubs her arm nervously since...she's not a robot.
"It's weird; yesterday I didn't wanna come here at all. But after today, I'm not sure if I wanna leave."
The brunette's eyes soften hearing that confession from Jenny. She could get where the robot's coming from, but Amy herself has a life at home. And...she couldn't see herself going back without Jenny, so she doesn't even know what to do. Does she stay and live a lie? Even though technically, she's doing that on Earth. Or does she go back, never crime-fighting again because Jenny wouldn't be there? She feels a bit tied.
"Didn't fit in at your old school, huh?"
"Nobody appreciated us," Jenny crosses her arms bitterly. "Especially not my mom. I'm just glad I have Amy in my life." Amy smiles softly at her.
"And I don't see my parents much. I have three sisters, but none of them understand what I go through," She tells Vega, sighing a bit.
"Whoa, don't even talk to me about mothers. My mom's a real tyrant; she-" Her phone rings and she flinches, using her ear as a phone. "Hello? Hi Mom. Yes? No," She looks away annoyed. "Yeah, but—I—but...Mom! Yes, Mom. Bye, Mom. That was Mom. Even when she's out of town, she checks up on me. I better go. She wants me home before darkend. It's a long walk."
"Walk?" Jenny asks in confusion; come to think of it, none of them have seen a single robot fly around here or use their own abilities. "Why don't you just fly home?"
"Right...and after I fly home, I'll just wave my magic wand and all my homework will be done. Ha ha ha," She starts laughing and Jenny rubs her neck awkwardly.
"Uh huh..." Amy raises a suspicious brow; something's definitely up, but what she had no clue.
"That's why I like you, girls. You're so crazy," She walks off with a wave. "See you at school! Get home safe."
"Thanks. But I don't know if I wanna go home..."
"Jen..." Amy sighs heavily, the robot turning to her.
"I know what you're gonna say, and I get it. You've got sisters at home, and they're probably worried. You can go home while I figure things out here."
"Well...yes, but I don't even know what to do. If I stay here permanently, I'll be a human in a robot body for the rest of my life. If I go home...I can't see myself being a hero without you. I'd probably retire, and that's not fun either. It's been fun being Ms. Mecha..." Amy frowns and Jenny sees her conflicted face, feeling bad.
"Well...you could reveal your identity to Vega."
"Ha! No," Amy deadpans at her.
"Worth a shot. But for now, don't worry about the disguise. I'll make sure you're safe."
Back in Tremerton, Sheldon, Amy's sisters, Brad, Tuck, and Nora are waiting for something on top of Jenny's house. "Don't worry, everybody," Sheldon speaks up to the group. "My Am—I mean, Jenny will be here any minute. Heh, and I'm sure Ms. Mecha will be right next to her..." He holds his head, looking away as he didn't think he'd blurt out Amy first.
"I hope you're right," Nora states to him. "We need XJ9 and Ms. Mecha now more than ever. This isn't just any alien invasion," She looks up as a shadow starts to loom over all of them. "It's the Cluster!" A bunch of Cluster space ships are in the sky, preparing to take over. They fly over the city, a bird chirping over a man peacefully reading a paper. But once the ship looms over him, his peace goes away.
People are on the streets, looking up to see the space ships. They stop and then open up the bottom of their vehicles, a giant laser coming from one in front of City Hall. Krackus appears in front of the building surprisingly enough.
"Krackus?" Nora wonders from the window, the others watching. "They've brought their entire fleet! Why send that crack-pot inventor?"
Krackus puts down a device and lifts up the door to let out a small ladybug. "Be free, my pretty."
A woman walks in fear holding groceries when she comes across the ladybug and stops. "Aww..." She coos but it's actually a robot...that swallows her and traps her into a cage. More of them are released by Krackus to enslave more people. Someone looks down at a robotic hot dog and attempts to eat it, but the sausage part sprays him in the face before wrapping around his body.
"Help!"
Some robotic bugs in the ground make the ground bubble so that Skyway Patrol are stuck in a sticky substance. They attempt to pull themselves out, but to no avail. "No!" Aurelia Smith, the mother of the four sisters, pulls at her legs to try and get free.
"Our daughters are in danger!" Dan, the father, cries out in worry.
"Help, police!" A local citizen calls from a payphone. "We need help!"
"Ah, this is Ray's Pizzeria."
A robot comes up from behind, attaching itself to the payphone. "Oh, well, in that case, give me a large pepperoni, no mushrooms, extra-" He doesn't finish his order because the phone comes to life and bites his ear.
"Aaah!" Tiff screams while a Cluster robot attacks her head. "This haircut cost me 90 bucks!"
"Stop!" Brit cries out while a hairdresser robot chases her. "We love robots. We're Jenny's best friends! And Ms. Mecha always relies on us!"
"XJ9, Ms. Mecha, help us!" Everyone in town screams while being terrorized by the Cluster.
"They can't do this to our town!" Brad declares while shaking a fist. He then gets pulled inside by Sheldon.
"What are you doing?! Close the window!" He orders in a panic.
"There's no time," Tuck frowns as he only has one plank. They look up at the already glassed-up window. "I'm gonna need more boards."
"Even if we do close the window, Jenny and Ms. Mecha are still gone," Claudia speaks up sadly.
"Yeah, we can't fight off the entire fleet on our own," Emily adds in.
"This is bad, everyone," Nora tells them nearby. "Hostile-aliens-taking-over-the-planet bad. Where are XJ9 and Ms. Mecha?!" Tuck and Piri start boarding up the windows in worry.
Meanwhile, back in Cluster Prime, it's morning over there as Jenny and Amy were just waking up. Well, Jenny was powering herself up. Amy was sleeping behind the bench so that no one would see her regularly sleeping. Jenny removes her plug as music plays nearby and Amy sits up with a yawn. Jenny looks down at the robotic squirrel, offering it one of her bolts. As they walk away from the park, they take a look at the city during daytime. People get off a giant robot, who gets a kiss from his wife and leaves. They approach a hot nut stand, Jenny holding up a finger. Once she's handed one, she tosses it around from the heat, putting it back into her palm. Amy's offered one, but she waves a hand no.
The two run off, Jenny smiling until suddenly they're both stopped in place. They're both lifted up into the air by a magnet, sticking to the bottom of two robots. "Good morning," Jenny greets a bit awkwardly.
"Hey, Jen, Amy," Vega hands upside down to talk to them. "How come you're not using your superpowers and flying to school?"
"With all these cool contraptions, who needs to fly?" Jenny shrugs at her. "And I kind of messed up my lateral stabilizers."
"Same thing with my bottom stabilizers," Amy holds up her rocket boot, as they still hadn't found a way to repair themselves.
Vega just laughs at the two of them. "You guys are a trip."
They arrive at the high school, being dropped onto the ground, being flattened almost by a robot. The two get up, offering their hands to Vega. "Jenny! Amy!" Drab rolls over to them. "Hey, guys!" He then gets tripped by Tuff, Jenny zooming over and catching him.
"Careful."
"Wow, how'd you do that? You're fast!" Drab comments in surprise.
"No faster than you are, I'm sure," Jenny replies and he almost laughs at this.
"You're kidding, right?"
"Why would you ask that?" Amy raises a brow; while the contraptions are cool, it's still weird that no one seems to be using any other abilities like flying or lasers. Tuff pushes between the two.
"Enough with the googly eyes. Let's do ourselves something manly," He pulls down a screen, smiling. "Like decorating."
"Yeah, you can help us decorate for the Tri-Millennial," Vega offers the girls.
"What's that?" Jenny asks her curiously.
"The city's 3,000 year anniversary," Drab explains to her, Amy blinking at how many parallels there are to here compared to Tremerton.
"You'll learn all about it in History 101," Shell states while walking up to them along with Mya.
"You'll see, it's a lot of fun," Mya speaks up cheerfully.
"Come on, guys," Vega pulls Amy and Jenny along, the robot smiling happily.
Finally, a place where I'm accepted as a friend.
That is until a statue of both her and Amy is revealed in history class during a presentation... "These are the enemies, traitor to the robot species, a human pretending to be a robot, and monstrous defenders of the human world. XJ9 and Ms. Mecha are vile malicious super-robots," Both of them sink in their seats, Drab and Vega looking disgusted. "Who can stretch out their spidery arms to horrific lengths, move, with blistering speeds, and produce devastating weapons from their innards."
"Well, who can't do that?" Jenny chuckles nervously.
"Yeah, it's just a normal thing, you know?" Amy laughs while rubbing her arm awkwardly. They had no idea that it was so important for Jenny to be in the Cluster that there's school subjects about them...
"That's not funny, girls," The teacher deadpans at them. "Cluster citizens were designed with the power to transform, powers that were activated by a golden chip. But XJ9 and Ms. Mecha destroyed the chips in a unilateral attack on the Cluster nation!"
"That's not true!" Jenny whispers in horror.
"We've never even seen those!" Amy adds in quietly, glancing at their robotic friends who look angry.
"That's why we are at war. That's why we must follow orders. That's why we must not ask questions."
"Why do robots like that even exist?" Vega asks in rage.
"I don't know," Jenny looks away sadly, Amy frowning. The whole truth is totally botched, and not only that, it's even more dangerous to stay here as long as they have...
Back at Jenny's house, the Cluster robots have made themselves at home, but there was a search party going on for the group. Some of them were making holes into the boarded door, the six rushing over to protect it. Tuck gets grabbed by a robot arm, screaming as Nora fires a laser to help him.
"That's it. I've had enough!" She fires again and turns to the six. "Desperate times call for desperate measures." She takes off her coat, to the disgust of everyone, but turns out she's wearing an old Skyway Patrol uniform.
"Wow!" They murmur in awe.
"XJ9 and Ms. Mecha are still missing. I must assume the worst that Vexus already has them," She digs into her hair to pull out her helmet.
"Maybe she took Amy too," Piri narrows her eyes angrily, Sheldon flinching. He'll just let them believe that because anything else he'd come up with wouldn't explain why Amy's gone MIA.
"Perhaps so. I'm going to Vexus' ship to get them back."
"And I'm going with you," Sheldon speaks up bravely.
"No, it's too dangerous," Nora denies immediately to him.
"Yes!" He insists to her; he wants to help rescue Jenny and Amy. And plus, he owes Amy for all the times that she's helped him out, even when she didn't want to.
"No."
"Yes!"
"No."
"Yes!"
"No."
Sheldon glares down at her, hands on his hips. "I'm going with you, and I won't take several no's for an answer."
"Oh, all right," She relents to him, handing two giant laser guns to both Brad and Claudia. "Don't vaporize yourselves." She pulls on a coat hanger and it turns into a system. She presses a button and it blinks as something powers up. A trap door opens between the two and they jump inside.
"Well, Tuck, girls, it's up to us to save the city," Brad narrows his eyes.
"Can we have those?" Tuck points up to the laser guns.
"No."
"Yes?"
"No."
"Yes?"
"No."
"Yes!"
The girls just glance between the two, rolling their eyes. "I feel so protected already," Emily deadpans while they watch.
"Where are XJ9 and Amelia?" Vexus demands as she's actually watching both the girls' houses from her ship on Earth. "Our attack is in its second day and still no signs of those infuriating brats!"
"But that's why we chose now to attack," Smythus brings up to her. "Because they weren't here, because we knew they weren't here."
"Yes, I wanted to get a jump on them," Vexus retorts back to him. "But I expected them to come running to the rescue. How am I supposed to enjoy my life-long ambition of enslaving the Earth without having crushed XJ9 and Amelia in the process?" Suddenly a video feed comes up, and it's from Krackus.
"Vexus, earth to Vexus."
She narrows her eyes a bit in annoyance. "Could someone zoom in a little, please?"
The feed zooms in on him, but she doesn't look too pleased to be speaking with him. "My confuserbots, er, batterbots, testerbots, I was never quite sure what to call them."
"Get on with it!" Vexus growls to him.
"My machines are starting to fail," He reports as Skyway Patrol are still stuck, a little boy near them. "Some higher-form humans possessing superintellects are figuring out their weaknesses." And by higher-form, he means the little kid removing his shoes and leaving. He comes face-to-face with another robot, only to squirt it with a water gun.
"There's a surprise," Vexus looks away knowingly.
"They did their job softening up the populace. But we must send in the real troops now," Smythus insists to his queen.
"No," She whips around to him. "I can't enjoy my ensuing victory without XJ9 or her human comrade. They can't hide forever!"
"We can't hide forever," Jenny states to her friend back on Cluster Prime. "Sooner or later they'll figure out who I really am."
"And that I'm not one of them," Amy sighs deeply to her.
"Another planet, another place everyone hates us," The robot laments while looking up at the flag. "Maybe there's room for one more dog on Pluto."
"If we can even get there," The brunette looks at her boots as they're still damaged.
"Should've charged my battery last night," A robot that looks like a truck yawns. "So tired, can barely keep my windshield open." He starts rolling down the road with his eyes closed, Jenny and Amy seeing him roll by. He heads straight for their friends!
"Oh no! We can't use our powers. Unless..."
"Hm?" Amy glances at her curiously.
The robot opens his eyes wide and tries to screech to a stop. The five look up in alarm, but are suddenly whisked away before it can hit them. Shell looks up to see Jenny wearing the flag as a cape, and Amy has transformed her suit to be a cape as well. Both of their heads are covered. Shell removes his eyes, shines them, and then puts them back on. Once he does, though, both of them have disappeared.
"What was that?" Tuff asks in confusion as the others come to.
"Who were that?" Drab points out, since they know that they didn't jump out the way.
"Whoever they were, we owe them our lives," Vega smiles at them, the two girls hiding behind trees. They smile as their capes fly next to them.
"Thanks, mysterious strangers!" They all say in unison.
As some Cluster bots fly by an alleyway, Brad, Tuck, and the girls all come out of hiding. They sneak over to the street, skidding to a stop as more robots come by. A door creaks open right behind them and throws them inside.
"You'll never take us alive!" Brad screams as a light turns on, and they open their eyes to see Vice Principal Razinsky himself. "Vice Principal Razinsky?"
"It's Colonel Razinsky now," He offers his hand to Brad and Claudia, helping them up. "Welcome to the Minutemen. One of our operatives, code-named Juanito, has found the robot's weakness." The crowd moves away to reveal that little boy who escaped earlier.
"Aqua!" He smirks while holding up water blasters.
"Yes!" Brad cheers at this.
"Since you'll be using a water pistol, I'll just hang onto that," Tuck reaches his hand out to the giant laser weapon.
"Uh, no."
"Don't even think about it," Claudia narrows her eyes as she doesn't even have to look to know that Piri was trying to snatch it. Piri and Tuck both pout, looking away. Underground, Nora and Sheldon have arrived in the woman's secret lair.
"Whoa, a secret underground lair," Sheldon says in awe. "This makes my garage/workshop look like a workshop in a garage," He looks up and sees Jenny's sisters frozen in ice. "Hey, XJ1 through 8. Why don't we use Jenny's sisters to-"
"No," Nora interjects with a deadpan look. "Here's what we do, we reverse the polarity of my rocket pod and lock onto Vexus' ship with a tractor beam while diverting all power to the anti-matter engine. A simple flip of a switch beams us aboard," She smiles as triumphant music plays.
"What the heck are you talking about?" Sheldon asks in exasperation, snatching the chalk from her. "Our only chance of reaching that ship is to use a negative ionizer to destabilize an undulating pulsar field, propelling us at light-speed through a wormhole in space-time," He draws over her plans. She glares at him in annoyance.
"Where did you get that idea? A gumball machine?"
"I'll have you know gumball machines hold valuable information," He argues back to the woman.
"You are an amateur."
"You are a know-it-all."
"Bilge-rat!"
"Bird-nose!"
"How dare you?"
Jenny and Amy wake up the next morning while stretching and yawning. They look to see an old woman robot rolling past them.
Just when we thought we should go away
They wave to the robot, but then another robot zooms past them.
We found a brand-new reason to stay
It's a robot that looks like a robot, holding a pink purse.
They need us
The two appear in their superhero get-up to punch him away.
Yeah, we think they need us
Jenny catches the purse as the robot comes back, taking her purse back.
Yeah, we think they need us
Saving folks, that's what we do
Just before a piano robot could fall on the hot nut cart, Jenny and Amy catch it before the cart could get smashed to pieces.
We won't reprogram
We know it's true
The vendor happily hands over some nuts, Amy politely declining, but Jenny takes them with a smile.
They need us
The two dash into a revolving door to change into their superhero clothes. Jenny extends her arms, Amy managing to extend a robotic arm.
Yeah, we think they need us
Jenny stops a giant rock from falling onto innocent robots, right before Amy punches it to pieces.
Oh yeah
All the robots cheer happily for their saviors.
We help our friends
The two happily follow Vega to help decorate for the Tri-Millennial. Amy is especially surprised as Shell asks Mya out to it, and she says yes. She smiles happily for the two, though she couldn't help but feel that it was familiar.
And we don't need to flaunt it
The girls stop, looking up at a robot hanging a banner.
It means so much just knowing that you're wanted
The ladder the robot is standing on starts to fall, and he slips. Jenny and Amy save him in their superhero personas.
Ooh, they need us
He hugs them and they smile.
Yeah, I think they need us
They look down to see everyone cheering for them, the two standing on top of a roof covered in shadow.
They need us
Then the two grin, standing bravely as they accept the praise.
Ooh, I think they need us
One of the police robots glares at them from behind the crowd. "This lawless behavior must be stopped," He declares, turning around and printing wanted posters of them. "It's time we bring these vigilantes to justice."
"Where are XJ9 and Amelia?" Vexus demands once again, as they still haven't arrived home, or were even aware of the situation. "The decimation of Earth is finally at my fingertips, and I refuse to fight this battle without them."
Smythus looks away, annoyed by her insistence that they have to be here. "Well, I don't," He flips the glass off of a button and presses it.
"Citizens of Tremorton," Colonel Razinsky announces to the resistance group. "Yesterday you were bottom of the pickle barrel scum. Plumbers, used car salesmen, Supreme Court justices, C students," And by C students, he means Brad. "But today you are soldiers, defenders of our beloved Tremorton. Her future is in your hands." Tuck and Piri peek behind their older siblings, who are also armed with water pistols like everyone else. "Now!" They push open the doors.
They all scream as they rush off, the two kids looking terrified of what might become of them. "How's this for water pressure?" One member asks while blasting a robot to pieces.
"Here's your extended warranty!" Another declares while defeating another.
"I'm out of order? You're out of order!" The Supreme Court justice member pours a bucket of water over a robot. Brad sprays, followed by Claudia and Emily. The robots start to retreat since they can't fight against water.
"I think we did it."
"We won!"
"We did it!" Brit cheers as she and Tiff slide over, even though they hadn't done anything. Everyone cheers for their victory...until a large shadow looms over them, and then they stop.
"Now you're gonna get it," Tiff eggs on, although just a second ago, they were siding with the good guys! A horde of Cluster robots appear in front of the group, marching down to face them. Brad looks on in horror, Tuck sliding out from behind Brad and running off in fear. Brad grabs his little brother by the back of his shirt.
"Come on, everyone. We can do this! Jenny or Ms. Mecha wouldn't run!" He, the girls, and Tuck are the only ones standing as everyone else has fled. "I won't give up. We'll fight alone if we have to!" The trio rush forward.
"Sounds good to me and Piri," Tuck states while the two are being dragged by their older siblings.
"I want nothing to do with this!" Piri screams up at her sisters.
"For Amy!" Claudia and Emily declare angrily as they charge in, but only Tuck and Piri emerge from the other side. The two skid to a stop once they realize they're alone.
"Brad?"
"Ems? Claudie?" Piri asks just as terrified as him. The horde stops moving, and then the three break free.
"You want a piece of us?!" They start firing, but the water has no effect. In fact, the Cluster robots start producing shields to protect themselves with, inching around the three.
"Tell us where you're hiding our sister!" Emily growls at them, but they don't listen.
"You'll never take us! Tremorton is ours! Earth will prevail!" Brad shouts as only their hands could be seen.
"JENNY! MS. MECHA!" They shout at the top of their lungs as they disappear into the army.
"Brad!"
"NO!" Piri cries out, the two starting to cry.
It's another day on Tremorton, but then someone steps on a flower, crushing it. A bunch of armed robots march in a line, and they force humans to do slave work. Such as cleaning cars, being dogs such as Vice Principal Razinsky, or working in a robot factory. Some of the employees are actual kids. "Excuse me, Mr. Guard sir," One of them steps up to a Cluster robot. "But can I take my ten-second break?"
"Yes...and you just used it up! Now back to work!" He then shocks the kid into submission.
Brit and Tiff actually work for the Cluster as they're on retrieval to find anyone who might be hiding. "There's the McKinley family trying to make a break for it." A vacuum robot sucks them up.
"Oh, and get Jason! He'd make a great slave." A heavyweight is sucked in as the two sit on the shoulders of a robot. "Let's head to the retirement home! Too bad we haven't found that freakshow that calls herself a girl."
"Yes, quite unfortunate," Brit looks away annoyed as they wanted to make her a slave. They roll right past Mezmers, which is a prison cell for Brad, Claudia, and Emily.
"Somebody get us out of here! Jenny! Ms. Mecha!"
Oil Can Joe's is the same as Mezmer's on Cluster Prime, where the girls are hanging out with their friends. Everyone except Amy slurps some oil, because obviously she can't digest it. "Wow, we could've had a V-8," Jenny smiles at everyone.
"Are you sure you're not thirsty, Amy?" Drab offers her a can of oil. "It's fresh!"
"No, believe me, I'm okay," She waves a hand. "I don't need oil right now."
They suddenly hear a baby crying, as a robotic baby is in a building that's about to be demolished. "Um, I'll call for help," Jenny says nervously while holding up a finger.
"Uh, right there with you!" Amy adds in as the girls leave the table, entering a booth. They both transform and run off.
"I feel so used!" The booth is actually a robot, who is not happy.
A Cluster robot is behind the wrecking ball, not even noticing the baby or seemingly not caring. The two quickly climb up the building, grabbing the baby and jumping to the roof of the building. The baby giggles at them.
"You're definitely a cute one," Amy pats it on the head with a smile...until it snarls and its eyes turn red. It takes off the diaper, tying them both into it and it tightens around them. "Ow! Okay, definitely not cute, more like a devil!" A bunch of police surround the duo.
"So we finally catch our masked vigilantes. And we don't feel pain either...just who are you?" The chief narrows his eyes at Amy as he's about to take off their helmets.
The two Cluster guards in front of Mezmers are fast asleep. A bunch of butter is on the ground, Brad using it on himself. "Is this all really necessary? This is my favorite outfit," Emily pouts as she and Claudia are doing the same.
"Would you rather be fashionable or a skeleton that'll eventually form in a few years?" Claudia retorts back, Emily grabbing a bunch of butter and putting it on faster as her answer. Once they're all buttered up, Brad goes first and sticks his head in, managing to get that out. But then he tries to pull himself back in, the girls pulling to help him out. Tuck and Piri simply walk into the cell, not looking too happy with them.
"Tuck!"
"Piri!"
"How could you leave us alone out there?" Tuck demands the three.
"Uh, we were arrested," Brad answers him plain and simple. "Come on, we've gotta get out of here."
"We just got in here," Tuck gestures to the cell. "We're finally someplace safe."
"And somewhere that we can put shame on you guys for failing to protect us," Piri holds her head up high, crossing her arms.
"Seriously?!" Emily growls as she lunges forward, but Claudia stops her. She's mainly mad that she ruined her outfit, only for her sister to not help them.
"We have to get back into the fray before the enemy gets entrenched," Brad informs the duo.
"It's too late. The human race is enslaved!" Tuck retorts back, gesturing to the world in front of them.
"Then we'll join the resistance; we'll-"
Tuck smacks him upside the head. "Get a hold of yourself ding-a-ling. There is no resistance. There's no one to join."
"And it's not like we can rescue our sister either if we don't know where she is," Piri points out to her sisters. Brad grips the bars, looking up with a brave look on his face.
"If there's no one left to follow, then I must lead. It's time for a prison break!" Everyone beams up at him. "...Could you get more butter?"
"Why are you leader again?" Claudia facepalms at him.
"Mickey-mickey-mickey-mickey-mo-mo!" Everyone sings from their jail cell, waking up the guards. "Mickey mo mo is an attitude!"
He zips in front of the bars, looking annoyed. "Hey, turn that off!"
He sees a lone box sitting in the corner and opens up the door. "Ya mo-mo drinking lemonade!" He pulls on a plug, but the singing is still going. "Ya mo mo's soaking in a marinade!" The alien shakes while clenching his fists, looking really furious. "I know you're mickey because I'm mo mo too!" He takes the box and tosses it outside, slamming the door shut. They open the door to peek out, looking around. They whistle as they straight up leave, removing all the discs from their clothes.
The Cluster police remove the helmets, giving away their identities. "By the Great Cluster Hives, it's XJ9 and Amelia!"
"What?" A police officer walks up to them. "That looks nothing like them," He holds up their wanted posters, who look like raging monsters.
"Sure it does," The chief argues to him.
"Not at all, the proportions are completely off," The officer holds it up for him to see.
"So they're stylized."
All the officers group around, not even paying attention to the girls anymore. "Let me see that."
"They're not even the same color!"
"They're an artistic interpretation." They use this opportunity to tip-toe away from the group.
"Ah, come on. Just look at them."
"Huh?!" They all flinch to see that shocker, they're not there anymore.
"After them, you imbeciles!" The chief demands and they all rush off together in formation. Sirens wail as the girls are making a break for it. They flinch in alarm as everything around them is now red.
"Attention, citizens, XJ9 and Amelia have been spotted on Cluster Prime!" They look around in alarm, seeing a robot filming them. A robot cries out while pointing at them, using its speakers to amplify its voice. Then everyone starts pointing at them.
Sheldon and Nora are making separate contraptions to get the girls out, even though it's just wasting more time. Sheldon scoffs as he looks over Nora's invention. "You tried that six days ago, and it didn't work then."
"Well, at least I haven't resorted to using chewing gum!" She points at his invention, which has chewing gum all over it. He shakes furiously and screams in frustration, lunging at her. The two start physically fighting, making both of their inventions fall to the ground. They cough from the smoke, laying on the floor once it's gone. "Hey, you got your time fissure capsule in my quantum defibulator!" She accuses as the two inventions have merged together.
"You got your quantum defibulator in my time capsule fissure capsule!" He leans back in thought, tapping his chin and flipping a switch. The machine comes to life, creating a portal to their delight. "Two great machines..."
"That work great together!" She smiles up at him.
Back on Cluster Prime, the girls are on the run, but have the camera robots trailing them. They turn around to see them advancing. Amy looks back to see the Cluster Police on their way. They take off into an alleyway, hugging doors behind them. An employee from inside opens the back door, throwing Jenny into the trash and Amy onto the ground face-first. Without looking, he tosses the bag onto Amy, who looks disgusted. The two rush inside, Jenny pulling off the trash can.
"Phew."
"Uhh...I don't think we're safe here," Amy points up ahead as they're inside what looks like a palace.
Back on Tremorton, robots are patrolling the streets, the five popping out from behind trash cans. "Eat paint, robot scum!" They all declare while throwing balloons. The paint gets onto the robots, and since they can't see, they bump right into each other. They rush past them as kids are being put to work inside the robot factory. The five grin as they throw down flour, allowing the kids to escape in the cloud of flour.
Inside the factory, the group attack again by removing the belt of a guard, and then unscrewing his compartment for oil.
"You, over there!" One of the guards notices them. They hide behind a machine, the robot turning around and thinking he's peed himself.
"Uh-oh."
"Stop!" The oil reaches the group and they slip on it, falling past the group. All the kids cheer for their freedom, gathering around the five. They start attacking the Cluster, and they run away in fear. Two kids trip one to pieces, several get pushed or boxes thrown on them.
"Viva la revolution!" Brad cheers as the kids celebrate their victory.
"You speak Spanish?" Tuck recoils back in surprise.
"Pretty sure a foreign language is a class requirement," Emily raises a brow at him.
"Where are we?" Jenny wonders at the area in front of them.
"I don't like the feeling of this place," Amy glances behind her. "We should sneak out of here and find someplace else to hide."
And just as she says that, two Cluster aliens notice them. "Uh-oh."
They shout while the girls run past, and they run down pillars, going up a flight of stairs. They freeze as two guards prevent them from going any further. They zoom to the side, ending up in a control room...where there's a large portrait of Vexus in front of them.
"We must be in Vexus' palace."
"No wonder why everything looks so superficial," Amy snaps her fingers in realization. The door gets banged on by the guards.
"Come out of there!"
"You're trapped!"
Jenny backs away to the control panel, accidentally pushing a button. The portrait is revealed to be a secret door and a table appears in front of them. They look up...and see all of the chips that were 'allegedly' destroyed by them.
"The chips! The ones they said we destroyed!" Jenny exclaims and Amy gasps, clenching an angry fist. "Vexus is the one depriving her people of their powers."
"And then pinned the blame on us!" Amy gestures to herself and Jenny. "Ohh, when we next see her-"
A laser starts to cut the door open and they rush over to some doors, only for them to be opened by Vega. They flinch in alarm to see her standing there.
"Ahh! I can't believe a bunch of brats are foiling our plans!" Vexus shouts as she sees the robots being chased by the kids. Light suddenly shines into the room, getting her attention as she sees Sheldon and Nora having teleported to the ship. "You. I haven't seen you wear that outfit in ages," She looks directly at Nora.
"It must bring up painful memories of the last time I brought you down. Ready for a repeat?"
"You forget, darling. You're no longer a spring chicken," Vexus points at her. "Whereas I still have 20 years left on my warranty. I suggest you give me what I want."
"Not before you tell me what I need to know," Nora demands from her. They glare at each other, daring each other to say it.
"Where are they?!" They lunge forward to fight.
"Vega? What are you doing here?" Jenny points to her in confusion.
"I live here," Vega shrugs at them. "I thought you knew. Vexus is my mom."
"She's your what?!" Amy screeches as the two recoil back, wondering how and when Vexus had a daughter.
"...What are you doing here?" Vega's now just as confused as them, since a, she never told them where she lived, and b, they're standing in her mother's room. As soon as she asks the question, a hole is made into the door from the guards, and the two rush past her.
"Stop her!"
"That's XJ9 and Amelia!"
Vega reacts just like the duo did, her face falling as she never realized her own friends were the enemy of the planet. She backs away to the table near the chips, and then notices them.
Sheldon watches Nora and Vexus fight, sweating nervously. He looks around for something that might help, seeing the fire extinguisher. He grabs it and holds it over his head, waiting for the right moment. He swings just as the two are flipped around, hitting Nora. The two spin around and Sheldon swings, only for the same thing to happen and destroying the top of her hat.
"Will you knock it off?!"
Vexus tackles her again. "Tell me where they are."
"I don't care who you're looking for," Nora spits back. "You're not getting anything out of me until you tell me where XJ9 and Ms. Mecha are!"
"What?" Vexus stares at her in shock. "You don't know?"
"No. I thought you had them."
Sheldon cries out in agony once he hears this. "If you don't have them and you don't have them, that means they're really missing!"
"We'll find them," Nora narrows her eyes at him.
"They could be anywhere between here and Cluster Prime. Oh, I'm so sorry, Amy! I failed you!"
"What?! You mean Ms. Mecha is Amelia?" Nora asks in disbelief and he winces in realization.
"Cluster Prime!" Vexus realizes something, the top of her head glowing. "That's why they won't stop calling me." She rushes over and beams herself to the control panel. With a wide grin, she pulls on the levers to make the top of her ship fly off towards her planet.
"It's not over yet, Sheldon," Nora says as they watch her leave. "If we can infuse the ionization feedback, we-"
"We don't have time for sci-fi brinkmanship," Sheldon rushes over to a panel. "My Jenny and Amy need me! I-I mean Amy, I-I mean Jenny!" He slaps himself to snap out of it, Nora staring at him weirdly and he chuckles sheepishly. He meant to say Jenny...He manages to hotwire the ship and then pulls some levers so that it can leave Tremorton.
Meanwhile, the kids start attacking the robots with tools, taking them apart. They toss them into a large scrap pile. "We can do it!" Brad shouts into a megaphone while standing on top of the pile. "We can stop them! We haven't met a robot yet we can't destroy!"
"Then you haven't met me!" Smythus speaks up as he looms over him. "Your little game comes to an end now. Call off your pint-sized militia or breathe your last breath," He grabs Brad by his shirt, pulling him up.
"Never!"
"...So be it," Smythus smirks down at him.
Jenny and Amy rush out of a building, two guards firing lasers at them. They barely manage to miss, jumping over the last one and rushing. "Look out!" Jenny pushes a robot out of the way. "On your left!" She pushes a family out of the way. Amy flips over and puts up some shields in front of the crowd to block the lasers. "It's us you want! Don't hurt the others!" She puts a toilet in front of her, and it gets blasted to bits.
"Hey!" The robot inside protests angrily.
"Sorry!" Amy calls out while rushing past him. "Oh no," She murmurs as she and Jenny skid to a stop, getting cornered. The guards fire and they jump up, flipping and getting hit. Amy falls to the ground from the blast, gritting her teeth while gripping her shoulder in pain. Jenny looks at the scuff mark on her arm. Jenny flips away, but gets hit in the leg. She activates her pigtails, grabbing Amy on the way and taking off. However, she or Amy still can't fly properly, so they grab onto a ladder hanging from a building. The robot tosses Amy in front and the girl grabs on, the two climbing up. Jenny gets hit in the back, falling while screaming.
"JEN!" Amy shouts in alarm while looking back. "NO!" She jumps off, reaching out her hands towards Jenny as her face paint flies off from the altitude. Then the pieces from the disguise go flying as well to reveal her Ms. Mecha suit. She catches the robot as the two are heard landing.
"Let's go get 'em!" One of the guards orders. They walk up to the crowd. "Out of the way! Move!"
"That was awesome!" A robot hugs him. "This is the best Tri-Millenial ever!"
"We'll never make it through this crowd," The guard looks to his partner. "Call out the Air Force!"
A bunch of guards fly out to search for them. Amy is holding Jenny close, looking up and gasping sharply. Jenny opens her eyes as shadows surround them, and they go wide as they see their friends surrounding them. "We know who you are," Vega states in an ominous way.
"You stay away from her, do what you want with me," Amy narrows her eyes defensively while pushing Jenny safely to the side.
"But-but-but-but-"
"And we saw what you did," Vega starts off before smiling. "How you guys saved all those innocent robots from the guards."
"We're here to help," Drab smiles at them.
"Yeah!" Tuff agrees with him.
"Wait...so you don't care about me being a human?" Amy asks in confusion.
"Human or not, you still risked your life for theirs. You don't need to be a robot for us to know that you're on our side," Mya smiles at the girl, earning a look of relief.
"But how are you guys gonna help?" Jenny points out, and the five hold up the chips. They insert them inside their slots, and start powering up. The Air Force notice the glow coming from the alleyway, and then it stops.
"That's it?" Drab wonders as they hear the guards coming.
"Quick, access your defense mechanisms!" Jenny shouts at them in alert.
"Defense mechanisms? Okay..." Drab looks at his hand, and it turns into a cannon. "Yeah!" Then the other one turns into a cannon. "Oh, yeah! Come to Daddy! Yee-haw!" He rolls forward while blasting lasers.
"Cool!" Tuff gushes as they watch him defend himself...and then roll away. "Typical."
Then the Air Force starts firing towards the trio. "Whoa! Don't hit me! Don't hit me!" Shell holds up his hands, but then shields appear to block the lasers. "Huh? Look at me!"
Vega's hand turns into a sword, Mya's hands turning into saws. The girls smirk at each other as their weapons glow and they start destroying the robots. The little heads come to life, crawling away like spiders. "Retreat! Retreat!"
Two of them land behind Amy and Jenny. "Oh no you don't!" Tuff leaps forward, two wings appearing on his back as he flies straight into them. Shell uses his shields to cut the robots to pieces.
"Now for some serious firepower," Whisks come out of his chest. "Hey!" Then a gardening shear appears. "No!" Then a blender, frustrating him. A lawnmower comes out of his backside. "Oh, come on!" Jenny starts to lose power, alarming Amy.
"Jenny!" Vega rushes over, she and Amy helping her up. "Come on, we're getting you out of here."
Drab rolls up a few buildings, landing on a roof. "This is how we do it, Drab style!" He fires multiple lasers at the robots, destroying them. Tuff flies by, firing lasers of his own. Mya uses her saws as laser cannons, surprising her but then she smiles and continues destroying robots.
Vega and Amy look down at Jenny in a charging pod. "Are you okay?"
"Barely," She smiles at the two. "But at least I'm alive, thanks to you. You guys were awesome!"
"Yeah! Thanks so much for helping us," Amy grins at Vega.
"I can't believe they've been shoveling this 'XJ9 and Mecha are evil' junk down our throats," Vega snarls angrily, clenching her fists. "If the robots knew the truth, they wouldn't stand for it! They'd bring down those responsible."
"But Vega, that's your mom," Jenny reminds her.
"Even if that's true, we can't just let her continue lying and framing us," Amy crosses her arms, enraged as well.
"...I just can't believe she's behind this," Vega laments to them. "There must be somebody making her do it or something. I mean, I know I said she doesn't understand me, but I never thought she was pure evil!" Amy's eyes sadden as she places a hand on Vega's shoulder, feeling bad for her, as well as Jenny. "Either way, we have to get the word out. And I think I know how."
Nora and Sheldon are following Vexus. "Come on, come on!" Sheldon urges while looking back. "Nora, we're losing her! I need more-"
"Secondary thrust! I'm on it! And call me Mrs. Wakeman!" She glances back in annoyance while pressing a button, but then Vexus teleports away.
"Oh no! She's gone...she'll get to Jenny and Amy, unless-"
"Don't even think about it," Nora glances back in a warning way. "Sending humans through a multi-lateral Cluster vortex would require incalculable-"
"Let's do it!" Sheldon doesn't listen and puts the ship through the portal, which disappears soon after.
Smythus laughs evilly while holding up Brad. "Pathetic sack of flesh."
"We always knew he was going to be a troublemaker," Brit smirks up at him while she and Tiff hug a robot.
"Yeah," Tiff agrees with her cousin.
"Prepare for your doom, meat-bag," Smythus holds Brad over his head.
"Hey! He's no meat-bag! He's 65 percent water! And if you wanna take him out, you're gonna have to go through us first!" Tuck gestures to the Smith sisters and himself. Smythus just laughs at this.
"Two birds with one rivet!" He continues laughing before a little girl joins them. "Huh? Three birds with one...four birds with...one, five birds, six..." He loses count as the resistance comes up behind the five. Brit and Tiff glance nervously at each other before the latter pushes away the robot. They casually walk up to the crowd since they're outnumbered.
"So what's it gonna be, crust bucket?" Tuck challengers him.
Jenny, Vega, and Amy make a break towards a building. "There, up to the top," She tells them as they notice an antenna at the top of the building.
"The antenna?"
"Yeah," Vega smiles at her friends. "If we tap into it, we can broadcast the truth to the entire planet!"
"But neither of us have enough power to get us up there, even if we could fly," Jenny glances up at her still busted pigtail.
"And I'm down to ten percent power," Amy points out, looking a bit worried. The only way for her to get more power is to charge her brooch, but it's back home and that'd mean she'd have to take off the suit.
"Well, maybe I can!" Vega smirks a little, offering her hands. The two take them and they jump into the air, falling back onto the ground.
"Ow..." Amy murmurs in pain, looking a bit annoyed.
"Try using your boosters," Jenny suggests to her.
"Oh. Right," Vega looks at her feet as boosters appear from them, rocketing the three into the sky. Wings appear from Vega, and she drops them onto the roof. Jenny grabs a vent cover and rips it off. She plugs herself in and summons a camera to point at Vega.
"Smile. We're live in three, two, one."
Vega appears on a tv screen in the middle of town. "Robots of Cluster Prime! You have been deceived. XJ9 and Ms. Mecha did not destroy our chips. They've been hidden all this time." Everyone stops what they're doing to listen to her. "We have been betrayed and lied to by our leaders. XJ9 or Ms. Mecha aren't our enemies."
"But they are mine!" Vega flinches in shock to see Vexus in the sky above them. She lunges forward and tackles the two away from the antenna.
"Mom!" Vega shouts at her.
"Not now, honey. Mommy's working."
"Release my brother, you overgrown garbage disposal," Tuck glares up at Smythus.
"Ooh, I'm so scared!" Smythus mocks the little boy. "The hairless monkeys are banding together. Whatever shall I do? So you refuse to go back to work."
"YEAH!" The whole crowd cheers at him.
"You refuse to be enslaved."
"Yeah!"
"And you'll stand together until my armies are defeated and the Earth is free?"
"Yeah!"
"Fine!" He drops Brad, who lands in front of his brother and friends. "Have it your way!" They all beam at each other. "All troops, back to your ships!" He dashes away on his vehicle.
"Well, that was easy!" Someone comments, people murmuring amongst themselves.
"Clean up our fallen comrades," Smythus says to a giant robot.
"Yes, sir."
"Prepare to destroy the planet!" He orders, and everyone stops short, looking up at him. As soon as they realize what he said, they run off screaming.
"Hey, where's everybody going?" Brad demands them.
"Cowards!" Piri shakes a fist as a vacuum appears right behind them. They flinch and scream before they're sucked inside.
"Mother! Stop!" Vega shouts as she watches the three fighting. They jump away from each other, the three glaring.
"How nice it is to finally see you where you belong!" Vexus states while they circle each other, fists raised. "Well, not you, I'll destroy you in front of your friend and she'll see how worthless it is to have human friends."
"Yes, all this time you wanted me on Cluster Prime, and look what happens when we get here," She smiles while pointing at the crowd. She turns around to see that a crowd of robots has appeared below, looking angry with her.
"Down with Vexus! Down with Vexus! Down with Vexus!"
"We told them all about your little secret with the chips," Amy smirks, Vexus gritting her teeth and flying in the air. She then soars down and punches them both.
"How dare you! This is my planet! I am its queen!" She snarls while beating both of them up, grabbing them in rage.
"Mother, listen to me! They're not the enemy!" Vega shouts at her, but she holds them up above her head.
"I'm gonna make the both of you a permanent part of Cluster Prime!"
"MOTHER!" Vega holds out a hand, Vexus laughing evilly. Suddenly a large shadow looms over her, and it's the ship that Nora and Sheldon are piloting.
"Bomb bay doors open!" Sheldon pushes the red button, Nora adjusting her gloves.
"Mom's away!" She jumps out, spinning around and knocking Vexus off the edge of the roof. Jenny and Amy go spinning, landing safely and looking back.
"Smokin' outfit, Mom!" Jenny compliments as Amy gasps and hides behind her friend, since her helmet is still off.
"What? This old thing?" Nora laughs it off, Vexus standing up. The two engage in a fight, Nora using the gloves to defend herself. She holds up her fists to block the punches and kicks from Vexus. Jenny and Amy just stand there in shock. Vexus catches both fists with an evil grin, towering over Nora. She uses her pointy nose to poke Vexus in the eye. She steps back as Nora adjusts her glows, a glow coming from it. She then punches Vexus to send her flying.
"Sweetie, Mommy could use a little help here," Vexus looks towards Vega. "Be a dear and destroy the old woman for me." Vega glares at her, still angry for what her mother has done. "Vega! Save your queen! Save Cluster Prime."
"That's just what I'm gonna do!" She holds up the chips.
"Nooooo!" Vexus shouts as Vega tosses the bucket over the roof, smiling as Tuff and Drab do the same with crates. Everyone's given their chips back, glows coming from the crowd to Vexus' disbelief. They all start flying towards the roof, or climbing, reaching their former queen as the four smirk. "You will pay for this, XJ9 and Amelia! You haven't seen the last of me!" Amy opens her mouth as she said her name out loud, and they watch Vexus fly away. Everyone cheers for their victory.
A spaceship is among the stars when something lands on the windshield. The alien looks up in alarm to see Vexus on there. He frowns in annoyance and uses the wipers to get her away just like a bug.
"Wow! No more Vexus on Cluster Prime," Jenny smiles as she looks around, looking to Vega. "Who's gonna be in charge?"
"Vega, Vega, Vega!" Everyone cheers, Vega turning around to her friends.
"There are gonna be a lot of changes on Cluster Prime! And I would love to have people I trust help me rule," Vega offers them. "Don't worry, you're safe here since you helped save us," She looks to Amy.
"Living in a world of robots, a world where I finally fit in. It's almost too good to refuse!" Jenny smiles at her.
"A place where I don't have to worry about my identity?" Amy muses, though she is questioning why Nora hasn't reacted to her being Ms. Mecha.
"NO!" They hear a shout, looking up to see Sheldon flying down to them. He jumps off and lands between the girls. "No. Come home, guys. Please!" He gets on his knees. "Don't leave us, I'm begging you," He hugs their legs. "Please, please, please! And maybe you'll forgive me for telling Ms. Wakeman that you're Ms. Mecha?" He looks up hopefully at Amy.
"Remind me to punch you," Amy narrows her eyes as her answer.
"Mom?" Jenny turns to her.
"Jenny, you've grown so much since I first assembled you," Nora smiles softly. "And there comes a time when every inventor must let her appliances leave the lab. No matter how much I want you to come home with us, it's something you must decide."
Jenny looks at the five robots before looking down at Sheldon. She glances at Amy, who smiles at her friend. "Please..." Sheldon whispers at them.
"I...I..."
Suddenly Tuck, Brad, and Amy's sisters fall from the sky thanks to the portal. "Brad! Tuck!" She rushes over to them.
"Jenny!" They all cheer before freezing and seeing Amy...who just remembered her disguise is off. "Amy is Ms. Mecha?!"
"Hi..." She waves awkwardly at them. Jenny hits Tuck and Piri as she hugs the others.
"I didn't get a hug," Sheldon complains at this.
"Oh, thanks for the reminder," Amy then punches him in the arm and he rubs it in pain.
"Owww!"
Amy then gets tackled by her sisters. "No wonder why you kept leaving all the time!"
"So cool! You're Ms. Mecha!"
"You owe us something at least in return for making us go through all that trouble!"
Sheldon then smiles at how accepting her sisters are as Amy tries to calm them down in their excitement.
"I'm so glad to see you!" Jenny and Brad say in unison.
"You guys came all the way across the galaxy for us?"
"Well, no, actually we-" Brad quickly covers Tuck's mouth.
"Absolutely. Yes, yes, we did. But we also came because the Earth is in big trouble. Smythus is planning to blow up the planet! We need your help." Jenny and Amy glance at each other, nodding silently in agreement.
"Vega, a world full of superpowered robots is the one place I could truly fit in. A world where no one would care who Amy truly is. But this planet doesn't need us anymore. You can protect yourselves. We were meant to help others. That's why I was built, and why I asked Amy specifically to be a superhero with me. That's who we are." Amy grins while being surrounded by her sisters. "We may not win any popularity contests back home, but the Earth needs our help. And saving people is its own reward."
"I understand. Just come and visit sometimes, okay?"
"Promise," Jenny smiles at her. "Now let's get us recharged and we'll go kick some Cluster butt! Oops. Sorry."
"It's cool," Vega smiles with a wave. "Those drones are no longer affiliated with us."
"This puny planet's final day has come!" Smythus declares in his ship. "Charge the atomic cannon!" The cannon powers up, one of the aliens turning around.
"Locked and loaded, sir."
"Ready? Aim...!" He says, preparing to destroy the Earth.
"Sir-"
"What?!" Smythus asks angrily at being interrupted.
"We're gonna be rammed!" Someone reports as something is approaching their ship fast.
"Huh?"
"Ya-hoo!" Sheldon drives the ship into them, knocking them towards the robot factory to destroy it. Smoke fills the area, Brit and Tiff watching from a few trees.
"Is it over?"
"I think so!" Tiff moves away her binoculars.
"We rule! We made it through this whole thing and still look fabulous!" The smoke comes in and ruins their outfits/hair, to their dismay.
"Everyone abandon ship!" Jenny declares as she's repaired and cleaned up at this point. And Amy's suit is also repaired. "Amy and I will take care of Smythus!"
"Oh yeah. Time for some payback," Amy smirks while cracking her knuckles.
"Status report!" Smythus demands his subjects.
"We're jacked up, that's our status!" One of them retorts back.
"Hey!" Smythus looks annoyed at being talked back to. Suddenly a window is broken by XJ9 and Amy, who keeps her helmet off, but still has on her suit. "XJ9 and Amelia!"
"It's over," She smirks at him.
"Happy to see us?" Amy gives a smug smile. All the Cluster aliens scream, disappearing in an instant. Krackus wheels away while trying to leave and bumps into a wall, falling to the ground.
"Not so fast, girls. You may have destroyed my mega weapon, and my ship, and my robot factory, and my troops. But I still have one more thing up my sleeve! Literally!" He reveals a green button underneath his sleeve. "Self-destruct, baby! Every supervillain's last resort!" Both of them drop their smiles, looking horrified. "Say good-bye to your beloved flesh bags! This ends now!" He presses the button. "In ten seconds."
The two glare at him, flying off and taking the ship, lifting it out of the hole. They start flying towards the sky and scream, throwing him farther away.
"This is for imprisoning everyone to be slaves," Amy smiles as an explosion occurs, which everyone sees from down below.
"Jenny! Jenny! Jenny! Jenny! Jenny! Mecha! Mecha! Mecha! Mecha! Mecha!"
The two fly down and everyone gasps as Amy stands there. She rubs her arm awkwardly as she dreads their reactions. Brit and Tiff blink before they bust out laughing, to the ire of Jenny and Amy. "That freak is Ms. Mecha? How unfortunate."
"Ha! And she looks stupid!" Tiff points at her. It's dead silence before someone claps. The brunette blinks before followed by more people, and then people start cheering. Amy gasps and then smiles happily, to the shock of Brit and Tiff.
Vice Principal Razinsky walks up to them. "On behalf of Tremorton, I hereby declare this a day of celebration! Out first annual Mecha Girls-tennial!" He holds up badges for them, and it sticks to Jenny's body, while he pins Amy's to her right side.
"It's just nice to feel needed," Jenny blushes bashfully, their family and friends hugging them.
"Umm, uh, excuse me," Sheldon tries to get in. "Can I just get in there? Give you a hug?" Confetti falls as no one answers him. "Hello?"
