"The Brave 12 and the Ultra Robots"
They, the Brave 12, were walking in the desert when they came to a completely destroyed and burning village.
They all gasp.
"What happened here?" J.D. wondered.
"This entire village has been completely leveled," Vince said.
"What could have caused all this?" Varie wondered.
They heard a groan and saw something emerge from the smoke.
Laney helped him up, while Sakura attempted to heal him.
"What happened here?" J.D. asked.
"They came out of nowhere," the creature explained.
"Who did?" Vince asked.
"8 robots did this," the creature explained. "They had enormous power and destroyed everything."
A flashback shows the village before it was destroyed.
Explosions ripped everything apart, and a clawed gauntlet ripped out a chunk of a house, buzz saw blades tore them apart, and a barrage of bullets destroyed everything.
"They left as mysteriously as they came," the creature explained.
"This is horrible!" J.D. exclaimed.
"Which way did they go?" asked Naruto.
"To the east," the creature answered.
"You better come with us," J.D. suggested.
"All right," said the creature.
They continued on, the creature accompanying them.
They came across a robot village that had been completely destroyed. There were toasted robots and burned buildings everywhere.
"Another village completely destroyed," J.D. observed.
"This is insane," Jack exclaimed.
"No kidding," Fu replied.
They heard a metallic fall and saw a partially destroyed but still operating robot.
"They… They appeared out of nowhere," the robot claimed in a robotic voice.
Another flashback shows the Robot Village before it was destroyed. It was a high-tech robot city.
"First came explosions," remarked the robot.
Explosions destroyed much of the city. It was the same assailants that had destroyed the previous village.
They were unlike any robots they had ever seen. They possessed enormous destructive firepower and were capable of destroying whatever in their path with such ferocity and without a trace of remorse or guilt.
A robot fired a cable, which detonated when it landed. It turned out to be a land mine cable.
"We tried to defend ourselves, but our attempts were futile," the Robot continued.
The robots fired their guns at the robots, but the bullets had no effect. Another robot became invisible and swiftly destroyed the tiny robots.
"And suddenly there were flames," the Robot continued.
Another robot released a powerful white-hot fire aura, incinerating everything.
"We didn't stand a chance," the Robot continued. "They were relentless. They destroyed the city, all of it. Then they left as mysteriously as they had arrived."
"This is insane," J.D. cried.
"Yes," Jack agreed. "This senseless destruction must be stopped."
"I agree," Sakura added. "Whoever built these robots is in big trouble."
"We won't let them get away with this," Fu declared.
"This is all just unforgivable," Lincoln said.
"Yeah," Laney agreed.
"These robots are a danger to the entire planet," Lisa warned. "Where did they go?" she asked the Robot.
The Robot was shorting out. "They... They left to the east."
The robot died.
They went east and found another village that had been entirely destroyed.
They looked for more survivors, but found none. They found some ninja stars scattered over the area, and they were in a group of robots.
"These are shuriken," Naruto explained.
"Looks like we have a robot that uses Shuriken," Vince noted.
"Yeah," Sakura agreed.
"I saw it with the robots that attacked us," the Creature explained.
"We could use these," J.D. proposed.
They collected a large number of them and decided to put them to use.
They then found robots with cleanly cut slashes on them.
"Looks like we got a sword-wielding robot," J.D. noted.
"Is there no end to this senseless destruction?" Jack wondered.
"We'll find those robots and make them pay," Jessie promised.
They then noticed footsteps and headed east. They were then surprised to see eight baskets in the middle of nowhere.
"This is unusual," J.D. commented. "What are all these baskets doing out here?"
"I don't know," Vince answered, "but looks can be deceiving."
The baskets then transformed into the robots they had heard about.
"So these are the robots," J.D. noted.
"Very fascinating," Lisa commented. "They are unlike anything I have ever seen."
The robots all had an interesting tool on them. The list is:
1) Claw Chains
2) Buzz saws
3) Gatling Guns
4) Land Mine Cable
5) Fists and Cloaking Device
6) Flamethrowers
7) Shuriken
8) Katana
These robots were designed to destroy, and they were quite good at it.
"Why?" Jack questioned. "Why did you destroy all of those villages?"
"To lure you to us," began the first Robotic Voice.
"To draw you out," said the fifth Robot.
"What?!" Jack screamed.
"Yes!" cried the third Robot.
"We have been hunting you," answered the sixth Robot.
"We have come…" announced the seventh Robot.
"To destroy you," the eighth Robot concluded.
"Your search is over," J.D. said.
"Come and get us!" they all said.
A Claw Chain was thrown, which J.D. caught and used to pull the robot in their direction before slicing it in half and it exploded. Out in the desert on a hill, someone was watching the fight. "Wow!"
Sakura punched the first robot and smashed his head off.
Naruto slammed a Rasengan into the flamethrower robot, causing it to explode.
Fu slashed the Shuriken robot, causing it to explode.
Lincoln and Jessie used lightning and fire to destroy the gun robot, which exploded.
Lisa destroyed the buzz saw robot by pulling it apart with her Technokinetic powers.
Lily and Varie destroyed the land mine cable robot.
All that remained was the Katana robot.
Vince was facing it, and it was a vicious sword fight.
Jack attempted to slash the robot, but his sword did not even cut him.
"What are these robots made of?" Vince wondered.
"Looks like an indestructible metal," J.D. noted.
He then punched the robot's head off, causing it to explode. "That's it for them."
"I agree." A scientist emerged from the shadows.
"Who are you?" asked J.D.
"I am Extor. The one who created those monsters that you all destroyed."
"So you created those robots," J.D. remarked.
"Why would you do that?" Vince asked.
"I set out to construct the ultimate assassins to hunt down and destroy Jack," Extor explained.
In a flashback, Extor is working on the robots they just destroyed in his lab.
Extor narrated, "I worked uninterruptedly, day and night, until my machines of doom were completed. They each were designed with a unique tool of destruction. Countless days were spent studying your fighting technique. They were the most lethal war machines ever created, and their power came from the world's ultimate evil: Aku!"
Aku injected his evil essence into the robots and activated them. "Extor, you have outdone yourself. Now to test their power of destruction!"
"Wha… Test them?" Extor questioned. "How?"
"By destroying your village!" Aku yelled.
"No!" Extor shouted. "You can't! We had an agreement!"
"You're a fool!" screamed Aku. "Now, my children... DESTROY!"
The robots completely destroyed Extor's village.
"Aku promised to spare my village if I built assassins for him," Extor recounted. "I was a fool to put my trust in him. Now I was going to correct my mistake. But you guys beat me to the punch and already destroyed my creations. I owe you an enormous debt of gratitude, Brave 12."
"You're welcome, Extor," J.D. replied.
"I just can't believe you'd create such awful monsters for Aku," Naruto said.
"Aku is the very creature we're trying to destroy after we get Jack back to his time," Sakura explained.
"It's our mission," Vince added.
"Yes," Extor agreed. "I've heard of that. High five."
They give him a high five.
Lisa salvaged what was left of the robots and fashioned a cool gauntlet for J.D. It had some tools, that he could use by pressing a certain button.
