Ibuki begins to waltz into another city searching for the next contestant. This is the city of Tremorton, home to the teenage robot.
Woaaaaaah, this place is so future-like. So many things filled with new technology… is Avril Lavigne still talked about here?
Suddenly, a giant alien-controlled robot drops down from the sky, stopping Ibuki from her path.
Uh oh! Giant robot! It’s okay… I just have to find it’s weak point… and KABLAMO!
Ibuki scans the machine, and looks for a reasonable spot where a weak point would be located. She decides that the leg of it could work, and picks up a nearby rock.
Oh, wait. I need to make a sassy one-liner. Ahem. Hey, tin can! Ready for me to rock your world?!
Ibuki chucks the rock at the robot. Obviously, it takes no damage whatsoever.
Huh… welp.
The alien machine prepares a full-fledged attack, but suddenly a blue stripe runs through the robot, creating a massive hole and rendering the machine useless. This blue stripe was none other than Jenny Wakeman.
Are you okay?
Wooaaaaaah… so cool...
Thanks! Oh, wait a minute… Do you happen to be Ibuki? The girl that was supposed to interview me?
Yup! You must be Jenny Wakeman! I hear your life's pretty rad.
Well, it’s not like it was broadcasted on television or anything. :)
Jen!
Suddenly, two other people follow Jenny to where she is now: Brad Carbunkle, and his little brother, Tucker.
The movie is supposed to be showing soon! We got tickets for the three of us, let’s go!
Yeah yeah, I wanna see Robot Takeover 2! It’ll be amazing!
Robot Takeover?
Oh yeah, it’s all the buzz. Personally though, I don’t think it’ll top the first one.
Anyways, sorry Brad, but I have an interview to take care of.
Interview? For what?
Don’t you know? I’m in the Strange Alternative Leader Tournament.
The huh?
Don’t worry, it’ll be fun! So let’s get this interview rolling, Ms. Ibuki.
Oh you don’t have to call me that. I’m a teenager just like you! Just call me Ibuki. Oh oh! Can I have a nickname actually? How does Rockstar sound?!
Um… I think I’ll just stick with calling you Ibuki.
Good enough for me! So, Jenny: what is your life like?
Oh, you know, just the casual teenage things. I go to school, take some notes, probably get made fun of for being a robot, and then when everything is done, I do my homework and save the day from any incoming robots that might destroy Tremorton.
She also protects me from all those meanies at school sometimes! Everytime they make fun of me, she comes in and BASH THEIR HEADS IN!
You did that?
Nope. Everytime I ask them to stop they just run away crying.
Cool.
Next question! What about your creator? What is he or she like?
My mom, Dr. Noreen Wakeman, created me solely for the purpose of protecting the planet. Every time the planet needs saving, she alerts me and I have to follow her orders or else the town and the people I love will be blown to smithereens! It’s… a hassle with her. She’s very strict, but she’s also very kind and welcoming!
Aww, that’s so sweet.
She’s annoyed with us sometimes. I don’t know why, though.
Hey, Brad, what about our mom?
Eh, we’re not the main characters so we don’t really talk about her.
Oh, okay.
Okay, final question! What kinds of powers or abilities do you have?
Oh, y’know, normal robot stuff. Superhuman strength, super speed, enhanced vision, flight, swords for arms, buzzsaw arms, a heat gun, ice blasters, stretchable arms, energy beams, shapeshifting, a self-repair system, I have data for every single language in the world, and much more. Although, I have to be careful. Corrosive substances like rain or water can render me useless since I can turn into rust pretty easily.
That’s so cool! A lot of my friends are really talented at what they do, but you must be like an ultimate robot!
Aww, thanks!
So, Jenny, now that the interview’s over, wanna go to the movies?
Yeah! Sure thing-
Jenny gets a call from her mother, Nora, and answers it.
XJ-9! Are you there?
I’m here mom!
Hi Mrs. Wakeman!
What?! XJ-9, what did I tell you about hanging out with those boys?
But moooooom… it’s a Saturday!
It being a weekend doesn’t stop you from your tasks to save the world! Another alien has invaded Tremorton!
A small quake made the four of them jump in the air for a bit and they all looked to find another giant alien-controlled robot terrorizing the city once again.
Exterminate it before the town is blown up, or else you'll be grounded for two weeks! Chop chop!
Sorry guys...
Don’t worry about it, Jen. Hey- Ibuki, right? You wanna come with us instead?
Oh boy, do I?
Great idea, Brad! I’ll meet you guys at the skatepark later!
Sounds like a plan, see you later Jen!
Jenny leaves the three of them alone and saves the day once again.
