Episode 34: Enter Cyber-Lord Part 1
A rainy night in Royal Woods where the scene set to Cox's tower and inside of a damage lab with some blood on the floor meaning that there lots of accidents, we see Chandler Cox Sr. and the lab boys working on the suit. It seems that lab boys have up all day and night with no sleep as some even yawn trying contract with an iron suit with add on weapons. It's hard work, but hopefully they'll get it done buy tonight so they return to their family.
"The suit must be perfect! I don't want to have any more accidents!"
"Mr. Cox, we've been working for weeks or maybe even more. This suit still have trouble connecting the A.I. into the armor's server." Scientist 1 said.
"Well try harder! Cox Tower is still in the red and the shareholder is still waiting for updates of a new military battle armor! This is my one last chance to get back on my feet. Once the suit is a huge success, the government would want millions of these!" Chandler Cox Sr. yelled.
"Oh how the mighty have fallen."
Chandler Sr. turn his head with a shockingly expression on his face too his company rival...Lord Tetherby, who shows up with a smug look on his face acting like he's the boss at Sr's own company. Tetherby is a short elderly man, with light fair skin, white hair, and a mustache. He wears a blue suit, with a red ascot, a white kerchief, a black top hat, khaki pants, and brown shoes. He also wields a black walking stick. For years, They've been competing on who made better profit within a year and as always, Chandler Sr. kept on being overshadowed as she always one step ahead. And what's funny is that I'd known him for years and still don't know what his real name is. Probably something embarrassing but he won't share to the public.
Chandler Sr. asked with a fuse attitude. "How the hell did you get in here?"
Tetherby chuckles for a bit. "Your security is a joke. Or maybe I've offer your security guards a better pay."
Chandler Sr growls a bit.
Tetherby walk casually towards Chandler's project and said. "I just came here to check on my good friend on his latest invention. And I see your fan of Iron Man." He grins as he touch the suit.
Chandler Sr scoffs. "Can it, will you. You're only here too see me fail as you're preparing too buy my company. And get your filthily hands away from the suit!"
Tetherby back away from the suit but still kept a smug on his face. "Touchy. But that's not why I'm here, Chandler. I'm here too help you."
"What?"
"Yes it is true I do plan on buying your company, but too save it. I can even let you be my supervisor."
"You can forget it. This is my company and I'll save it my way."
"Hmph. Suit yourself." Tetherby said as he walks to the doors. "It would be a shame that you and your son will be sleeping on the streets." Last words before he leaves and the door closed which upset Chandler Sr as he clutches his fists together.
The next day at Royal Woods Middle School. We cut to Lincoln pushing the doors open in a panic as he screamed. A lanky, brunette boy who wears a dark red vest over a yellow checkered long sleeve collar shirt, blue jeans, and white sneakers name Chad pushed the doors open as he scream in rage and runs the same direction Lincoln went, chasing him.
Lincoln running through the halls, out of breath. "Moving!" Gotta keep moving!" He said to himself and then looks behind him.
"That's it Lincoln! Run! But I'm taking this broken Nintendo switch and shove it up your ass for this!" Chad yelled.
"It was an accident, Chad! Honest!"
"Aaaaaaah!" Chad scream.
Next, we cut to another hallway where two boys name Trent and Richie meet up with Chandler.
"Hey, dude. Awesome sneakers!" Richie said pointed at Chandler's brand new shoes.
Chandler respond with a smile. "I know, right? $679 and worth every one of my dad's pennies." He then notices Lincoln rounding a corner and charging down the hall toward Chandler and his friends.
Lincoln is looking back to see if Chad is still behind him. He doesn't see how close Trent is and runs into him. Trent is holding a large bottle of fruit punch and it goes flying into Chandler's face, and his $679 sneakers.
Lincoln gulped. "Uh-oh."
Chandler is now steaming in rage. "Stinkcoln, these are $679 shows and you ruin them! You're going to pay for that!" Chandler starts chasing Lincoln back the way he came. Chad is still chasing Danny. The two corner Lincoln into the boys restroom as they both ready to pound Lincoln.
Lincoln knows he can't used his fighting skills to defend himself so he might as well take the beaten. Thankfully, Principal Wilbur T. Huggins just happen to show up and not looking to happy on what's going on.
Chandler laughs nervously. "P-principal! Uh...we were just here to hang out with-"
"Unless you two want a detention, I suggest you two get back to class."
Chandler and Chad quickly nod and rush out of the bathroom.
Lincoln sigh in relief and thanked Huggins. "I owe you."
Principal Huggins chuckles. "No need. Just glad I got here just in time. Now, you should probably head to class now."
Lincoln smiled. "Right." He reply and left the bathroom along with the principal.
Meanwhile, Chandler was watching Lincoln and Principal from the corridor as he gets really annoyed and pissed that the Principal always stand by him while he gets into trouble and placed into detention. He wished his dad buy this school and have hired better people so he can do whatever he wants without any problem but his dad told him he ain't spending money or waste his time buying out places that doesn't get him interested.
After school, Chandler decided to walk to his father's company to see if he's there with his new shoes ruin and still having a pissed off attitude while mumbled angrily about Lincoln on what he did. As soon he enter Cox's Tower, he spotted his dad talking to the shareholders and executives. It looks like there too see his dad latest invention. He walked up to his dad to tell him about what happen at school and hopefully could do something about it.
"Dad."
"Sorry, son. I can't talk to you right now. Will talk later."
Chandler sighed and leave Cox Tower.
Mr. Cox, executives and the shareholders head to the board room.
Shareholder 1 said. "Mr. Cox, we've been consider on what's going on with you and within the company. A craze rat criminal destroying several locations that connects with this company, the disaster of The Superb's."
Shareholder 2 added. "Constantly, wasted money on party."
Chandler Sr. already know his son have been using his credit card to spend on ridiculous things.
Shareholder 3 said. "And now Tetherby is planning to buy Cox's Tower. How are you going to fix this and bring back the profit?"
Chandler Sr. clear his throat and say. "Gentlemen, I've already have set in motion on bring into the future. BEHOLD!" He hold out his remote and activate a capsule that is coming from the floor and then open the door with steam coming out. "The CL-Mrk0."
The Shareholders and executives look amazed on the new suit.
Chandler Sr. then explained the details of the suit. "The suit gives the user enhanced strength, speed, endurance, agility, resistance, durability, and has jet propulsions in both the feet of the suit and a heavily modified jet pack for multiple purposes mostly in flight mode helps the user fly faster than a missile. The suit is bullet proof, cannon proof, tank proof, dust proof, water proof, sand proof, mud proof, ice proof, fire proof, dirt proof, space proof, EMP proof, electricity proof, drool proof, diaper proof, joke proof, sound proof, chemical proof, oil proof, rust proof, animal proof, and even knife proof. Most likely the suit resists almost everything. The suit is equipped with missiles in the heavily modified jet pack/back pack, energy axe, energy barrier, Gatling gun on forearms of the suit and two more that can pop out of the back pack and mount themselves on the shoulders as well as the missile launchers, and laser cannons which is also mounted on the suit's forearms, the suit can releases electrical discharge through the user's gloves forming it into a ball of energy and firing it at a target, the suit's gloves also includes steel brass-knuckles for hand to hand combat, also contains a metal baton, a whip which the electrical discharge can be transferred into to make it electrical and electrocutes target on contact, the suit's right forearm contains a computer moulage that can work as keeping track of suit's functions, life resort/support, and continuation of functionality while also having a connection to the World Wide Web and straight connection to an orbital laser satellite that fire a laser at the designated target, both forearms also contains very strong and durable cable grappling hooks, the helmet is equipped with laser eyes, x-rays, thermal sensors, night vision, lights on both side of the head, voice enhancer that can disguise his voice as anyone's, and a communication channel like a cellphone/radio, and an in-built computer screen inside for the wearer to see.
"Very impressive, Mr. Cox. This sure will make millions of green." Executives 1 said.
Shareholder 3 questioned. "But is the suit safe?"
"Of course. The suit is only programed to not harm any innocents people except for our enemies of course."
Everyone on the agreement there.
"Also, think of what the suit can do for Royal Woods. Though, The Full House Gang did an okay job with city but not good enough as they weren't everywhere when there's trouble but with the suit, that can easily change."
Everyone agree on Chandler Sr.
While Chandler Sr. explained more purposed of the suit, the suit was mysteriously online without being shutdown as it scan everyone in this room to pose as a threat. Weapons began to operate and the suit began to move on his own that surprised everyone.
Executives 2 asked while being worried. "Is this part of the demonstration?"
Chandler Sr lied and chuckles nervously. "Y-yeah. Incase of the host was kidnapped, the suit will automatically receive a homing signal from the host and will quickly come together." He tries to shut it down with the remote but it's not working which get him and everyone feeling terrifying.
The suit equipped the laser canons and prepare to fire. Everyone panicked and scream for their lives while trying too avoided the laser beam. Only one of executives got disintegrate into ashes. Chandler Sr manage too sneak behind the suit without being detect and tired to shut it down manually but nothing to seem to be working so with no other way, he opens an hatch and pulls out some wires which immediately shuts down. It was finally over. Everyone is alright but with heavy burnt on skins and only one person was killed by suit.
Chandler Sr tries to explained of this event, but no words will get him out of this as it only going to make this worst. This looks like this is the end of Chandler's Sr. empire.
The next day at Huntington Manor, Chandler Sr. and Chandler are moving out their mansion and loading their stuff into the moving truck. It looks like the shareholders and the executives put a vote to have Chandler Sr. to step down from ceo of his own company but they will keep quiet about this "incident" of the suit. And because of that, Chandler Sr. can't afford to keep his mansion which shockingly effected Chandler Jr. But luckily for Chandler Sr. he saved up some money to find at least a nice home for him and his only son. Chandler Jr. can't let the other kids of school find out that he's now becoming poor and a complete loser, but unfortunately Lincoln, Clyde, and Girl Jordan ride up on the sidewalk on bikes in front of the gate of Huntington Manor and watches Chandler Sr. and Chandler Jr finishing packing.
"Whoa! Talk about rock bottom!" Girl Jordan said.
"I feel bad. Sure Chandler is a huge jerk, but I don't want nothing bad happen to him." Lincoln said
"I do." Girl Jordan coldly said.
"That's cold." Clyde said.
"That guy is a sick pervert that spy us at the girls locker room and the bathroom, bully other kids including my friends, and even cheat on girls to date other girls who are more pretty than the others. So he doesn't get my sympathy now he's just like the rest of us." Girl Jordan said with her arm crossed.
Lincoln pointed. "Here comes the truck."
The gang got away when the gates is about to open for the moving trucks to leave Huntington Manor along with Chandler Sr. and Chandler Jr. in their car driving to follow the trucks to their new home. Chandler Jr. gasped when he saw Lincoln, Clyde, and Girl Jordan and quickly duck his head down so they won't see them. But they already saw him when he's helping his dad to move boxes so there was no point of it, but he doesn't know that.
"School is not going to be easy for him." Clyde said.
"Definitely." Girl Jordan smirked.
It was Monday during a school day, Chandler enters the lunch room with a bag lunch and goes to the table where his "friends" are sitting, the boys on either side of a smirking Trent. They are all wearing black tees with the logo for Mick Swagger, a rock band which is staging a concert in Royal Woods. Chad is doing very bad air guitar.
Chad smiled. "I can't wait for this."
"Hey, Chandler! We're down for the concert, right?" Richie asked Chandler.
Chandler respond. "Ah, sorry guys. I had to sell my tickets online to help pay for the moving truck. Things are kind of tight now, you know."
"No." They said.
Chandler moves to sit down, but Trent gets up and blocks him.
"Speaking of tight...!" Trent smirked.
"What?! Come on, guys! We're friends." Chandler said.
"When you're rich, but now you're just another bum in school that can't afford another awesome party." Said Richie bluntly.
Chandler look down on his feet trying not to cry as he tries to stay cool even though he's no longer popular. "I see. Alright." He began walking to another table.
"Hey, Chandler. Did you at least sell your tickets to somebody cool? We don't want to have to sit next to any losers at the concert!" Chad mock Chandler.
Chandler goes away to sit alone.
At the other table, Lincoln and his friends saw the whole thing.
"Whoa, brutal." Rusty said.
"Look's like we were right about Chandler won't have a great school year." Clyde said.
"Yup." Girl Jordan nod.
"Chandler just got scorched by his friends. Looks like he's going to have better friends for now on." Zach said.
"My thoughts exactly." Lincoln said as head over to Chandler's table.
Girl Jordan call out Lincoln. "Lincoln, wait!"
Lincoln sat at the lunch table next to Chandler.
"What do you want? Come to mock me for payback."
"No, actually. Look we've may have our difference-."
"Glad we agreed on that."
Lincoln sighed. "Yes. But I think this is a perfect opportunity for redemption."
Chandler was confused. "What the hell are you talking about? I don't know what you're planning but I don't want any of your crap. Now, leave me alone so I eat my lunch in peace!"
Lincoln walks away from Chandler's table and head back to his table.
"Told you so. Chandler has to deal with his own issue." Girl Jordan said.
"We know you're trying to do the right thing, Lincoln. But guys like Chandler not met to have redemption. Once a jerk, always a jerk." Clyde said.
Lincoln knows Chandler since they were little kids and have been picking on and even gets into fight with him. The only humanity Chandler gave out is when Lincoln's parents where murdered but after that, he goes back to his jerky self. Maybe he thought he could change Chandler into a better person know he's not rich anymore and his so called "friends" turn on him, but he could easily go back the way he was if becomes rich again. Even if so, Lincoln will have to try as this still could be a good opportunity for Chandler to be a good kid like him.
After school, Chandler returns to his new home which is a smelly, decay, and filthy an apartment. Apparently, this what his dad could afford to rent this dump. He walk passed a Homeless Man who is sleeping by the wall as he head up stairs all the way to the third floor and reach to Room 344. "Dad, I'm home!" Inside his room is even worst than the entire apartment as the carpet is dirty with some old dry stain of Blood and Pee so shoes have to be stay on at all time, a roach crawling around the kitchen sink, the toilet in the bathroom is broken so a bucket is placed there, and the beds with with some springs popping out at the edge of the mattress. Chandler sees his father in his desperate mode sitting on the couch watching t.v.
"Oh. Hey, son. How's school?" He asked in a sad tone
Chandler lied. "It was good. Nothing spectacular happening."
"Good. I'll just order pizza for Dinner since we don't have an butler anymore so will have to have taken."
"Oh okay." Chandler can't handle living like this anymore so he speak out. "Dad, we can't keep living like this! I hated here! It smells! It's dirty! And next door neighbor won't shut up the sport game! There's got be something we could!"
"There's nothing I could do, son. The CL-Mrk0 is was my last ticket to be success but after that disaster, they throw me out. BY MY OWN COMPANY! And for Tetherby to gain control of it." Chandler Sr then sighed. "I don't know what went wrong. The suit was doing fine when I first tested it."
"Maybe it's glitch."
This got triggered Chandler Sr. as he grab his son by the arm and squeeze him. "DON'T YOU DARE CALL IT A GLITCH! THE SUIT WAS WORKING FINE! IT SHOULDN'T ATTACK WITHOUT PERMISSION!"
"D-dad, your hurting me!"
Chandler Sr. snap out of it when he realized what he has done. "I'm sorry, son. I didn't mean too-I...I put so much work and effort on building my company as a child and now it's gone. Look, I need to be alone so go to your room and fun with your laptop and I'll call you when the pizza arrived."
Chandler Jr. said. "Okay, dad." He head to his room and closed the door.
Chandler Sr. sighed an continues watching the news. One of them talks about Chandler Sr. losing the company and was step down with Tetherby becoming the new ceo of Cox Tower.
"Chandler Sr have been wasting companies fund on building weapons or superhumans for military purposes as it continues to backfired on him. But now I, Tetherby, will change all of that as for now this company will provide to make goodies that will help society as I've hired the best people to work on. Chandler Sr. if you're watching this, don't worry. I'll take good care of the company." Tetherby smirked while looking at the camera.
Chandler Sr. in full rage wants to throw the t.v. remote at t.v. but instead he just turn it off and groans in frustrated. His son was listening from door knowing how much his dad is going through all the years and all the enemies that tried to kick his father down while mocking him. His dad my not be perfect as he's only focusing on working and have little attention with Chandler Jr. and even sometimes neglected him, but he still care about his son. And seeing his dad like this is truly sad and unfair. Wish he could help but he's just a kid.
Later that night, With Chandler Jr sleeping in his bed while Chandler Sr. struggles sleep on the couch still thinking on what Tetherby he's really doing with his company and soon he woke up feeling too good. "I still can't believe this has happen too me. The CL-Mrk0 should have work with no flaws...unless." He quickly remembered what happend a few days ago.
*FLASHBACK*
Chandler Sr. asked with a fuse attitude. "How the hell did you get in here?"
Tetherby chuckles for a bit. "Your security is a joke. Or maybe I've offer your security guards a better pay."
Chandler Sr growls a bit.
Tetherby walk casually towards Chandler's project and said. "I just came here to check on my good friend on his latest invention. And I see your fan of Iron Man." He grins as he touch the suit.
Chandler Sr scoffs. "Can it, will you. You're only here too see me fail as you're preparing too buy my company. And get your filthily hands away from the suit!"
Tetherby back away from.
*FLASHBACK END*
Chandler Sr. gritted his teeth in full fury. "That SON OF A BITCH! He must of somehow sabotage the suit just too make me look bad. You've done it this time Tetherby."
He quickly got up to dressed to head out of the door and ran all the way to Cox's Tower. Obviously, he can't go to the front so he'll have to take the secret back entrance that Tetherby wasn't aware of it which is located beneath the company with an hatch door. The secret entrance leads to the lab and thankfully no security is here and the cameras are destroyed whenever he and the scientists test something dangerous but kept forgetting upgrade the system.
"Now, where is the storage room?" He said trying to remember.
Chandler Sr. tries to remember where is as he search around the lab and found a door. Lucky for him, Tetherby haven't change the password yet. After gain access to the storage room, he stumble on all his fail invention that he'd created over the years. Right now he's focusing on finding The CL-Mrk0 and hopefully it has enough power. "Found it." He remove the sheet that is covering and finally see of his own eyes. "Still beautiful! I saw Tetherby touching the suit so where has he touch." He search around the suit to find a small device attach to the back of the suit's lower thigh. "So that's how he did it." At first he could sue Tetherby but he has high prices lawyer and this won't be enough to get back at him. All of this just only to make him miserable, all of this just for his enemies just to laugh him to see how much I've fail. "You've taken everything I've had Tetherby. Now, it's time I take something from you." Chandler Sr. grins as he climb into the suit.
The suit automatically turn on it's self ready for direction from Chandler Sr.
Chandler chuckles.
He began to move and walk over to a wall to single punch it to make a hole for him to escape and then started flying.
"Come, my greatest invention. I'm taking you to a safe place so we can begin our revenge. Every enemy that I'd had will soon be crush by Chandler Cox Sr!" Chandler laughed maniacally.
He disappeared into the nightly clouds.
