Jenny 'XJ9' Wakeman, the Teenage Robot Hero of Tremorton, was in the battle of her life right now.

Missing an arm, she let out a ferocious yell as she fired a beam from her chest to fight against a bolt of green plasma fired at her. However, the opposing beam was too strong and she was knocked on her back.

"They're stronger than they look..."

"Here, let me give you a hand..." Jenny saw her own arm being held out to her before being pulled back by a punkish boy with short black hair and green eyes. "...NOT! You ready to say 'Uncle'?"

"Make me!" Jenny snapped defiantly.

"You asked for it!" The boy said as he raised his arm up and charged a sphere of green plasma to slam down on her...

Suddenly, a voice called out:

"STAR PLATINUM!"

"ORA!"

The boy was suddenly sent flying backwards and the plasma landed beside and behind Jenny, melting the road. His two compatriots looked on in shock and the glared at the newcomer:

A tall, well built, blue skinned man in a loin cloth who floated in the air, glaring at his foe as he then seemed to disappear into another newcomer.

"Now I know Jenny can handle more than one punk and I am all for seeing girls kick butt…" The newest arrival, a boy in a long, purple trench coat with a newsboy cap atop his head smirked as the attacker vanished into his body. "But when someone gets hurt, I feel anyone can jump in and lend a hand."

Jenny beamed in elation at the speaker.

His name was Joey Josefumi or 'JoJo' as his friends call him. And yes, she was included among those friends, mostly because he was…unique like she was, just in a different manner. While Jenny had robotics and cybernetics for her powers, Joey was 'mystical'.

As he explained it, his family was rather…bizaare in their capabilities and he had been imbued with power from his great-great-great-great grandfather onwaerds.

"You alright, Jen?" Joey asked as he held a hand out for her to take, which she took.

"Y-Yeah, thanks..."

"Well, looks like you handled Butch pretty well." A boy with red eyes, long auburn hair, and a red baseball cap noted as he came over, accompanied by a boy with short yellow-blonde hair and baby blue eyes.

"He really needs to learn there's a time and place for being a dick," Joey said as he looked over the unconscious green-eyed boy.

"XJ9!" Cried a short older woman with white hair, red glasses, and a pointed nose as she ran over to Jenny. "XJ9, are you alright?!"

"I'm okay, Mom. I think."

"Here, let me help," Joey said with a tiny smile."CRAZY DIAMOND!"

Another spirit, this one with pink skin and light blue armor, manifested from Joey's chest and then thrust its hands out, surrounding Jenny in a golden aura as her severed arm was reattached to her body good as new.

"Ever the gentleman, aren't you, Joey?"

With a sigh, Joey turned to see Dr. John Brisbaine approaching, a professional air surrounding him as he held his arms behind his back.

"You gotta put that little shit on a tighter leash, Doc," Joey said as he put his foot on Butch's unconscious body and rolled him on his back.

"I must agree with Joey, Dr. Brisbaine. This operation is supposed to be a combat simulation test, not a slaughter!" Jenny's mother, Nora Wakeman, said angrily. "Such undisciplined, irresponsible, and barbaric actions by your subordinates is utterly unspeakable. This is an outrage!"

"I assure you, Mrs. Wakeman. This was all but a slight miscalculation. It seems I had clearly underestimated the potentials of the Rowdyruffs." Dr. Brisbaine said calmly. "We gladly compensate for any damages your robot-"

Dr. Brisbaine's words were cut off as Joey summoned the arm ofStar Platinumagain, which grasped around the doctor's throat and pulled him in as Joey glared straight into his eyes with enough intensity to make the older man start to sweat.

"Jenny's more than just a machine, asswipe. She can think, she can feel, she's as human as anybody I've ever known."

Dr. Brisbaine coughed into his fist as Joey let him go, giving an apologetic side glance to Nora as he turned to the blonde boy with blue eyes.

"Boomer, it seems you were up in the clouds again. From what I've noticed, you seem rather distracted. I suggest you keep your mind out of whatever dreamland you've been from and concentrate more on our exercise. Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes, sir."

Dr. Brisbaine nodded. "Good. Weasel, have your report ready by my desk first thing in the morning."

I.M. Weasel nodded his head as he typed away the notes of the combat simulation before giving Joey a nod, which he returned as the older boy approached Boomer and patted him on the head.

"You're thinking about HER again?"

"Yeah..." Boomer sighed as he looked down at his feet, embrassed as Joey gave a brotherly smile.

"Hey, we can talk about it over a game of catch later."

"Thanks, Jojo..."

Joey messed with Boomer's hair as he got up to leave.

"Anytime."

He then hurried after Jenny and Professor Wakemen

A day after the incident with the giant monster, Buki was just sitting by his lonesome. He had wanted to talk to Buttercup but she was busy being accosted by her new fan club, led by Tootie and "Little" Suzy, who were also members of the 'Sensei Jack' fan club, and the 'Buki' fan club.

'Why do I even have a fan club?' Buki asked himself. 'I mean, yeah, I have powers. I fight monsters…But I don't even know my real name! Why do people think…?'

He was pulled out of his musings by the sudden arrival of a rabbit nuzzling up to him. A familiar rabbit that he gently picked up and nuzzled with.

"Thanks, Angel."

"No worries." The rabbit smiled. "Looked like you could use a cuddle. I'm just warming you up."

"Angel? There you are…And Buki too." Fluttershy smiled as she helped the boy up and took the bunny back, giving him a warm hug. "Are you okay?"

Buki nodded with a smile.

"A little banged up from yesterday, and some more memories, but okay." He assured the gentle girl as two more joined her.

"Sneaking away from the adoring public?" Eddy smirked, getting a knock atop his head

"Eddy, leave him be." Applejack snapped as she handed Buki his favorite type of apple. "A little early in the season, but I reckon you'll like it, Sugar-cube."

The boy happily took the Mcintosh apple and savored the tart juice, his angst forgotten as the group he called his brothers and sisters arrived, all warm smiles on their faces

KAI

When Buki started going to school, Jack had pulled the ten aside and asked them to keep an eye on the young boy; help him get used to how the school worked, keep him out of trouble, all that sort of thing.

It had been an interesting start, all around: The Eds were reluctant to get close to the kid, but quickly grew to like the boy, even if he refused to help them in scams. Ed was arguably the one closest to Buki, helping him come up with ways to use his powers. Double D was the next closest, tutoring Buki and sharing an interest in the ceremonies the boy could recall or did with Jack, at least whenever Twilight was pre-occupied.

Eddy, in a surprising bout for those who knew him, had gathered up several bullies and assured them that in no uncertain terms, Buki was off limits. He never gave a full on reason, but considering he almost exclusiuvely called Buki 'baby bro', Buki had an idea…

The Mane 7 had been delighted to help Buki and quickly grew to adore him. Yes, his powers defied Twilight's science and Sunset had never seen magic to explain his powers, but they liked the boy's determination to do good even if he didn't know who he was.

And Sunset had had one particularly deep moment with the boy when he'd got angsty about who he was:

"Kiddo. I used to be, like, the WORST sort of bully. And I'll probably be working to make up for what I did til my dying day. But the upside to being bad? You learn to read what kind of people someone is quickly, so you can plot around or to use them. And I can tell you this much; whoever you were before coming to Megaville? They were just as good as you are now. Never doubt that."

Those words had finally killed Buki's desire to need to know who he was, and he'd tearfully hugged Sunset, who'd also cried a bit.

Twilight began to tutor and try help Buki figure out all his powers, as well as learn social cues alongside him. Applejack found the kid adorable and always snuck him a apple whenever she could, while Fluttershy helped Buki calm down with therapy animals and helping out at her clinic. Rarity always tried to help Buki dress stylishly and Rainbow was the best sparring buddy he could get until recently, as well teaching her some slight humility.

And Pinkie? Oh, Buki loved to see her dance and sing as she gave everyone parties, plus he was her best taste-tester. In fact…there was something vaguely familiar about Pinkie, but Buki couldn't place it.

KAI

The group had sat down alongside their lockers, sharing some pops and chips.

"You sure you're okay, kiddo?" Rainbow asked, spying the bruises on Buki's form. "We heard about…"

"Heard? We felt it!" Eddy shouted. "7 on the Richter scale!"

"It was fun and scary!" Ed beamed.

"…yesterday." The athlete sighed, already seeing Buki begin to fear he'd hurt someone.

"No one was hurt." Double D quickly assured the boy. "And you did stop the monster regardless. Still…that new ability is…worrisome."

"…The last user was defending his family, from what I saw." Buki admitted, missing the smiles on his sibling's faces at that reveal. "But yeah, I'll avoid it for now. But, there was also this one moment when the monster darkened its form and for some reason…I almost got crushed despite my barrier being up."

The teens all coughed on their drinks and stared at Buki in worry.

"Wait, something got PAST your powers and hurt you directly?" Twilight asked in worry, while Sunset began to retrace her magic lessons; she was certain she'd heard of something like that….

Fluttershy and Rarity hugged Buki in worried, the fashionista also fixing up his hair and, after a moment, applying makeup to cover up his bruises.

"Still, darling. At least you weren't alone this time." She added. "I know Jack-sensei has trained you well and you are strong, but…I cannot help but imagine Sweetie in your place."

"Me too with Apple Bloom." Applejack mused then smiled. "Still, seeing the new girls help ya out? Takes some worry off my shoulders."

"Oh, yeah!" Twilight, her need to uncover what hurt Buki temporarily forgotten. "The Utonium girls! Blossom is actually in a few of mine and Sunset's classes."

"Smart girl." Sunset mused. "Kind of an ego, but at least its from a decent place."

"Sunset-nee…" Buki started, not liking it whenever she gave herself crud for her past actions. The girls waved away his faux anger and handed him a chip to placate,

"And Buttercup has been signing up for as many clubs as me!" Rainbow smirked. "Gotta say, like that spunk. Just hope no monster or villain attacks pull her out."

"I saw Bubbles hanging out with Mandy," Fluttershy said. "It was really weird. I always thought Billy was the only one who could get close to her without...well, y'know..."

"Hey, if she tries hurting Bubbles, just give her 'The Stare'. It worked last time." Rainbow smirked.

Everyone minus Fluttershy and Buki (who had never expereineced it) shuddered at memories of said 'Stare.'

"Well, well...if it ain't the little hero."

Everyone looked to see the effeminate young man with short black hair approaching, a dark tome clutched in his arm, and a cool smirk on his face.

"Hey, Crydius..." Buki sighed. "What do you want now?"

"Nothing much, just wanted to congratulate you on your heroic and triumphant deeds yesterday." Crydius chuckled. "You know, my offer to join my 'club' still stands."

"And I said I'm not interested. Can you please leave me alone about it?"

Crydius huffed. "Hey, I'm just making a generous offer. But you do know that Blossom and Dexter have been getting pretty chummy and it's only been the second day for those Powerpuff Girls."

"Yeah, they have. They share quite a few similar hobbies." Sunset noted, turning her eyes to Buki.

"…What?" the boy asked.

"Well, um..." Fluttershy started. "Well, this may just be a rumor, but…"

Twilight then showed Buki a picture from her phone: One of him holding Buttercup in his arms. Ed and Pinkie immediately cooed, with Sunset giving a now tense and blushing Buki a thumbs up.

"W-wait, it's not like-I just caught her from a monster!" The boy weakly tried to diffuse the upcoming teasing storm.

"Everyone, please!" Double D said, standing in front of Buki. "As adorable as such a bond would be, we should respect Buki's feelings and not force anything."

"But they'd be so cute!" Pinkie mused, then snapped her fingers and handed Buki a cupcake. "Irwin asked me to give to you; seeing as you missed his party."

Buki happily accepted the baked treat, his embarrassment forgotten. He made a note to thank Irwin for this at some point; try hard the guy made be, but he wasn't too bad.

"Well, she is pretty awesome." Rainbow mused, messing with the boy's hair.

"You two would make an adorable…battle couple, I believe the term is?" Rarity mused, looking to Ed for confirmation and getting a nod.

"Guys and gals." Applejack furrowed her brows as she joined Double D in defending a now distracted Buki, who was licking his lips and fingers clean of icing and cake. "Drop it and let the tyke enjoy his quiet time."

She then smiled warmly as she spied Buki smiling thankfully at her and Double D. The eds and other Mane 7 members lost their steam and decided to return to their original plan:

Take their baby brother out for a little fun as Jack worked late, letting him act like a kid.

Crydius however…was not so willing to do so, and he leaned down to the boy to ask:

"So, BukiCup or ButterUki for the ship name?"

The boy suddenly began to envision the names and then himself and Buttercup acting 'lovey dovey', blood rushing to his face as he manifested a blade on his arm and began to swing wildly.

"BUKI!" The Eds and Mane 7 called out in worry, while Crydius just bobbed and weaved between the attacks

"I ain't hearing a denial….~!" The older boy smirked as Buki chased after him.

"SHUT IT!" Buki snapped.

Elsewhere, Jack had been writing before he sensed something…and smiled both sadly and then with a smirk.

"I do believe you'd have liked him, old friend."

And Jack could swear he could a bellowing, hearty laugh in agreement.

Knightmare Lord A/N:
