Time 3:50 pm

Location Tremonton Wakeman residence

After coming home from another day at high school, Tyler and jenny walked up to the Wakeman residence door, where it was answered by dr Wakeman, who looked like she was just getting ready to leave.

"oh! Tyler! XJ-9!" said dr Wakeman. "I'm happy to see you two. How was school today?"

"it was really good, mom!" nodded jenny

"It sure was!" replied Tyler

"that's great to hear!" answered dr Wakeman. "I was just leaving for radio shack to pick up electronic supplies for my experiments, do either of you two need anything?"

"Nope, I'm good," said Jenny, after going through her internal computer systems for anything she might need,

"I'm good too," said Tyler

"very well, feel free to make yourselves at home!" said dr Wakeman as she entered her car and drove away and, after a few minutes, disappeared from sight...

"she's gone..." said Tyler "now's our chance!"

jenny quickly signaled for brad as he rushed over from behind a tree and rushed over to meet his two friends

"Hi guys!" said brad "do we remember the plan?"

"yep, we hurry downstairs and see what dr Wakeman's been keeping from us," said Tyler, "but we have to hurry! she could be back any minute!"

"right! let's go!" said Jenny as she, brad, and Tyler all rushed the door and downstairs towards the basement

"Alright, we're downstairs," said brad "now what?"

"over here," said Tyler pointing towards the door he saw yesterday, "I remember seeing that door yesterday, just before our training session."

"a door?" asked jenny. "I never noticed that before."

"me neither," said Tyler, "until yesterday."

"Why didn't dr Wakeman tell us?" said brad

"Hopefully, we'll be able to ask her..." said jenny "right now, let's go see what's behind this door!"

"right! but remember, we gotta make this quick!" said Tyler

Tyler and jenny opened the door to the room and saw the eight figures, which they all looked like they were covered in dust and cobwebs.

"Wow..." said jenny, looking at her eight sisters

"geez..." said brad. These guys looked like they haven't seen action in years,"

"and if they're completed, like you said, brad, then why are they still sitting here?" said Tyler, "but there's no time for that, we gotta hurry! dr Wakeman could be back any minute!"

"Right!" said jenny

A simple machine shaped like an egg stood on the first pedestal, with two short, small antenna-like features on her head, a transparent top layer showing her lightbulb-like eyes, a mouth with one visible tooth, and a bottom layer resembling a diaper. her model number was XJ-1

on the foot of the pedestal, Tyler discovered a log concerning the development of the XJ series of robots that led up to jenny

"XJ series log number 34 I had successfully created the first XJ robot, she is designed to be like an infant, with all the looks of one, and had shown to act like one too, as I was hoping to incorporate some transformation capabilities into a human-sized robot, she can even act cute, cry-babyish, and happy. However, she has only one ability, to barf out grease and oil when frightened, not likely the protector of the human race I was hoping to create outside of firebird, which is in storage right now. Hopefully, things will turn out better in the next one..."

On the next pedestal stood an XJ robot that almost resembled a sentry turret with tiny legs, which had one eye on top of the turret and a pigtail at the back of the barrel. Her model number was XJ-2.

again, Tyler found another XJ log

"XJ series log 45 after shelving XJ-1, I had decided to be more direct in the defense systems and modeled the next XJ robot out of a ray gun, and the result was XJ-2, she looked to be quite successful. Her biggest defect, however, was that she suffers from Uncontrollable hiccups and accidental blasts. Again, it seemed like a failure..."

"mom...shelved her?" asked Jenny, distraught.

"along with the others here..." said brad as he saw the other models.

"I can't believe she'd do this and never told us..." said Tyler

"wait till mom gets home..." steamed jenny.

"hold on, jenny, we still got the other robots to go through," said Tyler, "but we have to hurry!"

"Right!" said Jenny, snapping out of her anger.

they walked towards a shorter pedestal, where they saw a small robot that almost looked like a toddler version of jenny with a brighter shade of blue, except with one eye, two pincers as hands, and a little rounder in shape, along with thin legs her model number was XJ-3

again, they viewed another of dr Wakeman's logs

"XJ series log 57 after shelving XJ-2, I went for a more humanoid approach, and the result was XJ-3, and with a little bit of an improvement on installing weapons, she can create hammers on her hands and can form a spinning scorpion tail. Meanwhile, the transformation features I have been trying to incorporate is finally showing promise with XJ-3. However, I must have made a mistake in the structure. She is not very stable. As a result, she falls apart very quickly. It is almost as if she were a toddler who is just beginning to learn how to walk for the first time in their life. I don't know what it's going to take to build a capable human-sized robot, other than my two successful creations, the giant armageddroid and firebird. Still, I must keep trying. Even if I have to go through model after model, I will build the human-sized defender of humanity the world needs..."

"then why shelve them instead of upgrading them instead?" said Tyler

"yeah! these are my sisters!" jenny spoke up

The next robot they saw was on a platform. Now she Had a mostly lavender and white color scheme. She looked like she was a robotic maid. While she has only one leg-like appendage, which allows her to move with a wheel's help, she possesses four long robotic arms. Each arm has two fingers, and these arms aid in her goal to retain neatness, as she can grubbily multitask quite well with them. She has three antennae, two short ones protruding from either side of her head and a longer one sticking up from the middle. Her long middle antenna has a lavender bow tied around it. her model number was XJ-4

"wow! now that's a maid!" commented brad

"she sure looks like one too," said Tyler as he picked up another of dr Wakeman's logs.

"XJ series blog number 67, I again shelved XJ-3. after realizing the structural weakness in the metal used to design her, I decided to go through a stronger alloy, and I also recognized that in creating the defender of humanity, they would also need to know how to clean up every once in a while, in this regard I designed XJ-4 to be like a maid for housecleaning, and many more, not only that, but I finally started to master the transformations I have been trying to implant in the previous XJ robots, they can shape-shift too, but only do so much, XJ-4, however, is only the beginning of that shape-shifting, not only with cleaning tools but also weapons and structures, her flaws, however, are her obsession with cleanness, and she prefers cleaning utensils as weapons as well, I must work much harder in the next model."

"well, it's certainly a step up," said Tyler, "but housecleaning, what did you expect, dr Wakeman?"

"exactly!" said jenny

They then walked over to the next pedestal, where they saw the next prototype held up by a large ceiling chain. She was colored teal nearly all over. She looked like a boxy-shaped radio-like robot. Her design looks somewhat old-fashioned, with a radio dish feature on her base, two eyes that resemble dials, a squared speaker for a mouth. And rocket-powered pigtails like jenny's but teal-colored. Her model number was XJ-5.

brad then picked up the next log, Tyler and jenny reading it along with him

"XJ series log number 75 with the somewhat success of XJ-4 as a house cleaning maid, I had begun to focus on electronic communications, in hopes of creating an XJ robot who can be a good radio, the result was XJ-5, modeled after a working radio, XJ-5 has the same transformation capabilities as the previous models, in weapons and functionality, and she does possess excellent leadership qualities surprisingly when I temporarily reactivated the other prototype models as a test, they seemed to have focused on a single task. However, XJ-5's personality is quite conversive. She constantly talks and makes comments. Much to my dismay, I still need to go further with my research and work."

"being a radio can surely do that to you," said Brad

"But if she sounds like a good leader, maybe she can be a big help, despite being a prototype," said Tyler in thought

The next robot they saw looked tall and thin, with green pigtails similar to Jenny's, but straighter, pointier, and more triangular, facing forward, and three insect-like legs that bend outward at the ends. She has two arms on each side. She has a broad dual/split-screen computer monitor-like head that displays her mouth, which looked like an electrocardiograph's readings, and deactivated bright green eyes. Much like her arms, typically, Her model number was XJ-6.

Tyler and brad then picked up the next log.

"XJ series log number 86 after leaving XJ-5 to join her fellow prototypes, after realizing how much of a personality I seemed to be installing in model after model, I realized it was time to go into what teenager youngsters feel, which is, what XJ-6 is modeled after, she again, posses the same shape-shifting transformation capabilities, however, upon the next few days of activation, she showed signs of Ill tempers, grouchiness, and jealously, of me, it seems but what will I even be able to do about it? I'm no therapist. I never was..."

"you still should step in nonetheless..." said Tyler, knowing first hand what responsibility looked like

"yeah! she's my mom after all!!" snaped jenny

"and all this?" said brad as he looked at the other XJ robots "no wonder she feels so jealous..."

On the next platform, they saw A blue robot with white arms, bags under her eyes, a gloomy frown, and pig-tails that drooped limply. She looked hunched over and has a set of treads for locomotion. her model number was XJ-7

"XJ series log number 99 with the shelving of XJ-6, I again had to master more of the personality prospect I seem to be creating within my robots. However, even when the transformation capabilities I have been placing in my robots seemed to be reaching their peak, there were still very emotional flaws within XJ-7, she is often very depressed, and it seems unlucky, including having serious low self-trust and low self-esteem, she even viewed herself as useless at anything including protecting the human race..."

"geez louiz..." sighed Tyler, feeling deep sympathy for XJ-7 "that bad?..."

"just as bad as my other sisters..." sighed jenny "we really need to get a therapist..."

"yeah, one for everyone here..." said brad, pointing out the rest of the XJ robots and dr Wakeman herself

And then on the last platform stood The largest of the nine XJ-series robots, resembling a large, bulky, darker-blue version of Jenny with two belly bolts, tiny pigtails, and a primarily non-expressive face. She was very tall, thickset, and muscular-looking all around. Her model number was XJ-8.

"XJ series log number 108 I had seemed to have outdone myself this time with this robot with shape-shifting capabilities, personality, and power, the result was XJ-8, she looked like the peak of my work and what the human race needed to survive but, she has a glaring weakness, her personality again, she's a bit of a tomboy, but worst of all, she seemed generally emotionless and robotic, it seemed I had almost made XJ-8 too powerful, but I feel like I'm almost there, just one more model..."

"geez, she's overdone herself, alright," shook Tyler from the description of XJ-8.

"yeah," said Jenny, "but I still can't believe mom would do this..."

"wait, what is this?" Asked Brad as he saw one last log on a nearby desk,

"there's one last log..." said Jenny as she picked it up and started to read her own XJ log

"XJ series log number 126 I've finally done it, I've created the state of the art protector of earth, XJ-9, she is armed with all the advanced weaponry and devices I could install into her including the necessary reflexes, and with a personality that perfectly resembled a teenager and she could even almost self-repair at an alarming rate. However, she can be quite reckless, rebellious, and unable to remember this household's rules, but she can hold up well for the time being. Hopefully, she will continue to prove herself in the years to follow...until then. I'm putting the XJ series on hold..."

"But, I've been fighting crime for five years..." said jenny, distraught at the implication that dr Wakeman may replace her with a 10th model if she fails like the others "why does she say such things!? I'm her daughter!"

"yeah, just what does dr Wakeman hope to accomplish by this!?" said brad

"dr Wakeman won't replace you, jenny," said Tyler "we'll make sure of that by talking this out with her."

"I really hope so, Tyler..." sighed Jenny, "and to think mom never lets me do anything but save the earth like it's the only thing I was made for."

"But we know for sure you can do more than that, jenny!" said brad, recalling all the times jenny had fun with her friends

"exactly, jenny, we'll figure out what to do with your sisters and dr Wakeman in due time," said Tyler "for now, we gotta get out of here!"

"you're right," nodded jenny "let's go before mom gets home!"

After putting the logs back where they were, they all wasted no time rushing back upstairs, closing the hidden door where it was. They escaped the house, jenny staying behind due to it being her home. Tyler and Brad ran back to their house just before dr Wakeman pulled up in her house when Tyler and brad then went through the door to their house.

Date September 17, 2014

Time 4:00 pm

The next day, after school, Tyler, jenny, and brad arrived at Tremonton park. During school, they agreed to talk more openly at the park. Tyler was the last one to join up with jenny and brad. Jenny's face was filled with dread and was visibly shaken by the implication her mother/creator had shelved her prototype sisters and gave out the implication that dr Wakeman may create a 10th XJ model.

"Hi, Tyler!" waved brad and tuck.

"hi, brad! Hi, tuck!" Tyler waved back

jenny also gave a small wave, while still looking sad,

"Hi, Jenny!" greeted Tyler.

"hi, Tyler..." sighed jenny, saddened by yesterday's revelation

"Jenny, what's wrong?' asked Tyler as he sat down next to Jenny and brad.

"it's mom..." said jenny, almost feeling tears nearly escaping her eyes "she shelved my sisters, even though they are earlier versions of me. That was one thing, but her logbook about me showed. Mom was hoping I would hold up for a few years. No wonder she kept me in my room until I needed to save the world...but what then, will mom shelve me like my sisters and replace me like the others!?"

Tyler, brad, and tuck looked sad for their friend jenny as she felt tears escape her eyes.

"Am I even mom's daughter?" sobbed jenny "what was I even built for?"

"jenny, you are dr Wakeman's daughter," replied brad "she just doesn't know what she's doing."

"yeah, jenny! you're awesome!" said tuck "you're our friend, and that's enough for us!"

"but I hardly fit in," said Jenny, "and hardly anyone at high school has taken me seriously because I'm a robot, and mom might even replace me."

"dr Wakeman WON'T replace you, jenny," said Tyler firmly "we'll make sure she knows this when we take to her personally,"

"Tyler, are you sure?" sobbed jenny

"I'm certain, jenny, but first we need to hear this from dr Wakeman herself," said Tyler, wanting proof from dr Wakeman herself

"but Tyler, what about my sisters," asked jenny

"we'll talk to dr Wakeman about that too, jenny," said Tyler, "but know this, if dr Wakeman is suggesting a 10th XJ robot, I say she'd better forget about it!"

"Tyler's right, jenny," said brad. "you're not like other robots. You have a heart, you're able to think and feel like us, and that I think is your greatest strength!"

"yeah! you don't always have to fight bad guys to be a good person!" encouraged tuck "we like you just the way you are!"

"and we'll make sure dr Wakeman isn't that much of a helicopter mom and that your sisters are reactivated," said Tyler, "but what happens afterward? We might need to talk about that as well."

"thank you....all of you!!" cried jenny as she hugged her friends.

"we'll face this together, jenny," said brad

"yeah! like a team!" cheered tuck

"we're all in this together now!" said Tyler, determined to confront dr Wakeman

A little while later, during the park, jenny and company started planning their dr Wakeman intervention. First, they would ask her if she genuinely loves jenny, let dr Wakeman know she dearly underestimated her creation's humanity, and then afterward, they would talk to her about reactivating jenny's sisters and what they would do later...

Time 5:15 pm

Tyler, jenny, brad, and tuck were on they're way to the Wakeman residence to put their intervention into action. Tyler was just about to open the door,

"Guys, remember," said Tyler turning to his friends, "once we go in, there's no going back."

"I know, Tyler," nodded jenny, "but I know we can do this!"

"the same goes for us too!" said brad, his brother tuck nodding alongside him

"thank you," smiled Tyler, then he opened the door, "let's go."

as they walked inside, they saw dr Wakeman just exiting from the lab after another experiment

"oh! Tyler, XJ9!" greeted dr Wakeman "you've been gone for a long time, and you've brought your friends. What could be the matter?"

"let's just say we were hanging out over at the park," said Brad, "and Tyler has something to say"

"what is it, young man?" asked dr Wakeman

"dr Wakeman, we need to talk," answered Tyler.

"what do we need to talk about?" asked dr Wakeman "what is this about?"

"mom, this is an intervention." said jenny firmly "let's all have a seat."

"very well then," said Dr. Wakeman. She then took a seat alongside everyone else "what is this about?"

"I'm going to start with one question, dr Wakeman," said Tyler. "it's about your thoughts on the XJ prototypes."

"XJ prototypes?" asked dr Wakeman and then snapped, "don't tell me you and XJ9 were snooping around in the basement!"

"as a matter of fact, we did," said Tyler, feeling a bit unfazed, knowing he has to be strong for jenny's sake

"but that's one of the reasons we're here, mom," said Jenny "but let's hear the rest about my sisters."

"what do you want to know?" asked dr Wakeman

"let's just say we want to know the successes and failures of the XJ sisters, dr Wakeman." said brad "we read the notes, but now we want to hear this from you,"

"oh, very well," sighed dr Wakeman, defeated, "which do you want to start with?"

"first, XJ 1," answered Tyler, "were there any more successes and cons than what was told in the notes."

"well, the successes of XJ1 are the fact that she held a degree of sentience albeit that of a young toddler, a start from scratch from armageddroid," admitted dr Wakeman. "but the flaws were, she spewed and barfed oil to nearly no end when afraid, and wasn't as effective."

"I see," said Tyler, "now, about XJ2?"

"XJ2, you see, was my first attempt to build a robot with defense mechanisms..." explained dr Wakeman, "but her defectives lied in her constant uncontrollable hiccups, which cause her to fire plasma beams everywhere."

"Geez..." said Brad, "couldn't you have improved on that?..."

"I suppose I would...young man," said dr Wakeman, "but I never truly wrapped my head around that..."

"Really, mom, really!?" Groaned jenny

"We really need to talk about improvements of the xj sisters when we're done," said Tyler "now, let's move on XJ3."

"XJ3 was my attempt at making the XJ series fully humanoid," said dr Wakeman "she was the first to be successful in transforming her body into weapons, but there were her defects, she's clumsy, and she easily falls apart."

"easily falls apart. What the heck, dr Wakeman!?" Said brad

"if xj3 falls apart easily, then how did armagedroid, firebird, and Jenny right now are holding themselves together right now!?" Snapped Tyler

"Well, because I just used stronger materials, that's all," said dr Wakeman

"mom!! Why couldn't you just upgrade XJ3 to be structurally stronger!?" Snapped jenny

"because they're not cheap young lady," said dr Wakeman

"that's no excuse, dr Wakeman! You're a scientist engineer! You of all People should know better!!" Said Tyler, "now, about XJ4...."

"XJ4 was designed to be more of a help to the human race as a cleaning maid and for multitasking," said dr Wakeman "but, her defect was her obsession with cleanliness, even chiding others for messes they can't help but create"

"now that's a perfectionist cleaning maid..." quipped brad

"you're telling me!" Nodded tuck

"you really could've improved her attitude, doc...." said Tyler "now, XJ5?"

"XJ5, you see, was destined to be a flying communication drone robot," said dr Wakeman "her defect was that she talks too much, makes comments, and doesn't have that many defenses..."

"You really could've improved that too!" Snapped jenny

"XJ6?" Asked Tyler

"XJ6 was my next step into developing humanoid robots, built with a computer monitor face," said dr Wakeman "her defects are that she's often ill-tempered, grouchy, and becomes utterly jealous all too Easily."

"Jealous of me? Jealous of everything!?" Said jenny

"yes, young lady, everything," said dr Wakeman.

"then why didn't you teach her more about not being so jealous or at least given XJ6 a therapist!? Asked brad

"it wouldn't work," said dr Wakeman

"Well, it might've worked. You never know!" Said Tyler, "next, XJ7."

"There's not much to say about XJ7 except that she's often very depressed and unlucky seeing everything as useless as he hopeless," Said dr Wakeman "her obvious defects are low self-trust and low self-esteem I couldn't stand it!!"

"Then give XJ7 therapy too!" Said Tyler, "she might even be suicidal for crying out loud!"

"Yeah, mom, what were you thinking!?" Said jenny

"what was I to do with her pessimist attitude!?" Said dr Wakeman, "nothing could be done with her attitude!"

"I highly doubt that," said Tyler, "and finally, XJ8."

"XJ8, the final robot before XJ9 here," said dr Wakeman. "she was incredibly successful at being a humanoid defender, albeit too successful. After XJ7's all too negative attitude, I thought by removing the emotions, XJ8 would turn out better, but as a result, XJ8 is emotionless and truly robotic. She prefers using brute strength rather than weapons and strategy, and because of a lack of complex personality, she finds it hard to adapt to human cultures. As a result, I realized I was nearly making the same mistake I made with Armagedroid..."

"No wonder..." said Tyler. "You almost have been too successful...but did you really have to remove XJ8's emotions!? Xj7's attitude doesn't excuse you doing what did to her successor!"

"Yeah, mom, if you think my sister's emotions were holding her back, then why did you give me emotions?" Snapped jenny

"because young lady, I figured if I could balance those complex emotions of yours, you'd be more successful!" Said dr Wakeman, "and you were!"

"but my sisters weren't?!" Snapped jenny before going any further Tyler restrained her

"Jenny, slow down," said Tyler "that will be settled soon enough."

"if you insist..." said Jenny as she sat back down.

"and finally, why did you lock the XJ prototypes away, dr Wakeman?" asked Tyler, "and why did you keep this from us!?"

"because they are failed experiments," said dr Wakeman, "and they may never see the light again because of their unreliability, you should never reactivate them. They will only cause problems!"

"How could you say that, mom! I was alone for five years!!" Sobbed Jenny "how could you call my sisters failed experiments!?"

"if they had performed as well as you have, they would be out here right now, wouldn't they?" Countered dr Wakeman

"So if I didn't perform well, I'd just be one more robot thrown in the basement!?" Snapped jenny

Jenny's words made dr Wakeman stop cold, giving Tyler a chance to speak up.

"Why do you have to be like this, doc!?" Cried Tyler "that's exactly how Vexus thinks!"

"because of one of my past mistakes armagedroid, and another one even before him!" Snapped dr Wakeman but then slowed herself, realizing she's going through a traumatic flashback

"who!?" Asked the group

"Lil acorn," dr Wakeman said almost fearfully as she stood down for a moment to explain the whole story from the beginning, "it was a long time ago, before armagedroid, before firebird, and even before you and the other robots XJ9."

Dr. Wakeman was 14 in high school, and already she was considered a science prodigy. she was able to construct a working defense droid with a functional laser weapon, One day, a poster of the stage acting caught her heart; dr Wakeman desired to be a star on the stage.

However, it soon became clear to dr Wakeman that she was not successful on stage as she is in science and technology. Still, both talents came together to save the young doctor's dream, recovering her defense droid project, dr Wakeman made many modifications to the droid, giving it a personality, removed most of its weapons so they will be for comedy, primarily as a ventriloquist doll dr Wakeman dubbed her modified creation, "Lil acorn."

On the first day of the ventriloquist, acting was a success for the duo in the world of showbiz. The audience loved the performance of dr Wakeman and Lil acorn, as they would both continue to persuade they're dream soon after they're a success,

but as their fame on the stage grew, so too did Lil Acron's ego and pride, later. He turned quite abusive towards his creator dr Wakeman, Lil acorn would often threaten to torture her with a song called "the song that never ends," turning lil acorn to become fully megalomaniacal and cruel, and even when dr Wakeman tried to deactivate him, Lil acorn resisted

"Get your hands off me!" snapped Lil acorn, grabbing dr Wakeman's arm as he jumped off of her creator "and don't you dare touch that switch! not today, not ever again!!"

"What!?" cried dr Wakeman, already feeling scared

"don't you understand, Nora!?" retorted Lil acorn, consumed by pride. "I'M the star of the show! you're just holding me back!!"

"b-but I created you!" sobbed dr Wakeman

"don't push me, Nora!" sneered Lil acorn, extending his mechanical neck towards "unless you want me to SING."

"no!!" cried dr Wakeman.

"I'll sing the SONG," threatened Lil acorn as he laughed wickedly, extending his arm as well, enjoying the power he has over his own creator.

"no! anything but that!" yelped dr Wakeman. "ANYTHING BUT THAT!!"

"then stay out of my way, Nora, you pathetic human." chucked Lil acorn as he left the stage. "I'm the star of this show now! Now and forever!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!"

As she cried behind the curtain, the tears running down her now reddish eyes, dr Wakeman's dream of stardom had suffered a painful death...

afterward, Lil acorn took the stage for himself, having disowned his own creator, but the audience reaction predictably turned sour as the ventriloquist doll acted on itself, they called Lil acorn an abomination, an unnatural freak, and Lil acorn lashed out at the audience but was unable to do real damage since dr Wakeman removed most of his weapons for comedy, Lil acorn was then chased out by angry mobs all over Tremonton, escaping into the woods, but soon after he escaped the angry mob, Lil acorn powered down, using up most of his energy on the run,

at the now-empty stage, dr Wakeman sat alone as she cried herself to sleep on a lone table again, the pain over the horrific domestic abuse flooding her mind. Why? Why would one of her own creations decided to hold dr Wakeman on a leash with such a song!? What had she done wrong!? Why did it have to go all wrong!? Those same thoughts flooded her mind as she fell into a sorrow-filled slumber while subconsciously vowing to seek redemption for her creation and her own sins...

"I never forgave myself for creating that monster since that day...." sighed dr Wakeman, "and ever since then, I sought redemption for that..."

The whole group's hearts dropped, but at the same time, their blood boiled. This time, this rage was directed at this Lil acorn. This creation of dr Wakeman's was her stardom dream's salvation, only to have killed it, having succumbed to his ego and treated his own creator like an abusive henpecked husband and wife relationship only to end up rejected and swear vengeance on humanity, no wonder dr Wakeman ended up such a helicopter mother. They won't forgive that...

"we're terribly sorry..." said tuck sympathetically

"I...I didn't know you were in so much pain, mom..." sighed jenny

"is that why you joined skyway patrol?" Asked brad

"yes...before I created armageddroid..." said dr Wakeman. "I just wanted to do some good out there to feel like I've redeemed myself for creating that demon..."

"I see...and now dr Wakeman, for the other reason why we're here," said Tyler, "it's about being such a helicopter mom, and what exactly do you plan to do if jenny's served her purpose."

"i...I don't know..." said dr Wakeman, "a..a 10th future robot....maybe-"

"mom! are you going to replace me too?" Sobbed Jenny in anger, cutting of her creator's thoughts

"if you went any further with a 10th XJ robot, Jenny would never forgive you, and neither will we," snarled Tyler.

then what does XJ9 need, young man?" asked dr Wakeman

"jenny needs her mother, dr Wakeman!" snapped Tyler, "her real mother!!"

"we're all doing our best to take care of jenny dr Wakeman," said brad

"Yeah, you're just being EXTREMELY overbearing!" said Tyler "jenny has feelings, a heart just like her sisters, and I have a feeling firebird does too!"

"well, as a parent, it's my right to destroy their happiness!" countered dr Wakeman, obviously not getting that it's not the right of a mother or a parent to destroy their child's happiness

"then how are you different than vexus or this Lil acorn?" snapped Tyler "treating your creations like this?"

"I'm only trying to do what's best for my daughter!" Snapped dr Wakeman, "and don't take that tone with me, young man!"

"listen, dr." Snapped Tyler, not backing down "just because you gave me firebird doesn't mean you own me! I don't take orders from you!"

"And Jenny's more than a robot! She's our best friend!!" Said, Brad "she has a heart! she has feelings!"

"yeah, Jenny's awesome! And this is coming from a kid who was once afraid she wants to destroy us!" Said tuck

"I'm your daughter! not your tool, mom!!" said jenny "you keep telling me to be a better hero, but you never do anything about what happens to me every day, and every waking minute I'm out on Tremonton being tormented because I'm a robot because I'm different! All you ever do is work in the lab!! not even once taking responsibility, even you tell me to take responsibility when I mess up!"

"look, dr Wakeman, I know Jenny, and I have a responsibility to defend the earth, and I'm not saying we should forsake it, knowing the consequences of doing nothing," said Tyler, "but seriously! Do you really have to be like this!?"

"like what?" Asked dr Wakeman

"treating Jenny and her sisters like this, like machines like tools, without a heart or soul, what the heck's the matter with you!? Constantly over protecting Jenny, never minding the fact she's usually bullied at school and Tremonton in general just for being different, for being a robot, and you hardly focus on being an actual mother to Jenny, did you ever once thought of how lonely Jenny was alongside her sisters before she met us on the outside world! You seemed to have only created them just to suffer! And you're just here in your lab tinkering, is this what's best for your daughter? not even bothering getting out there at all and helping your daughter or improving her sisters, it is NOT your right as a parent to destroy your children's happiness!! How dare you say that to your daughter! Your own child!!" said Tyler "punish us as you will. Still, all I'm saying is, can't you...can't you just let Jenny be herself? And let her be with her sisters? Isn't that good enough for her?"

Dr. Wakeman only froze in an emotional breakdown, the realization of the situation kicking in, she had failed her daughter, no all of her daughters, including firebird while being so unempathetic and aloof in a sense only treating them all like soldiers, Tyler was right, how was dr Wakeman different from vexus or Lil acorn!?

"i....i...I never...once thought of that before..." sobbed dr Wakeman, defeated by her own daughter, the appointed pilot of firebird, and their two friends "what...have I done?...."

Tyler, Brad, and tuck didn't know what to say as they saw dr Wakeman tear up, but Jenny, on the other hand...

"Mom...all I wanted was to be accepted as who I am, not being expected to save the world all the time..." said Jenny. "I just don't want to be alone..."

"Oh...XJ- jenny...I thought sending you to high school was the right choice..." sighed dr Wakeman, "but I...I never thought you had to go through this pain even more....and be so alone...I never imagined you were in such pain...."

"Mom..." said Jenny

"I'm sorry...Jenny," sighed dr Wakeman as she cried for a few more minutes as everyone watched her with sympathy

"Dr. Wakeman..." said Tyler, barely gathering his emotional strength to speak up again after a minute of silence. "We'll need more time to process all of this...hopefully things will get better, but for right now...let's make amends."

"Yes, I suppose that is the only thing to do right now..." said dr Wakeman stood up and prepared to leave for downstairs when...

"Wait, dr Wakeman," said Tyler, "I want you to make us a promise."

"yes?" Asked dr Wakeman

"If Lil acorn returns, I want to make sure we face that demon together," said Tyler

"Are you...sure?" Asked dr Wakeman, worried, "you might be..."

"I'm sure dr Wakeman," nodded Tyler, "nobody robs our friends of their hopes and dreams and gets away with it!"

"Count us in too!" Cried jenny alongside Brad and tuck

"we'll stop that evil puppet if he comes back!" Smirked Brad

"yeah!" Said tuck, "we'll kick his butt back to the stage!"

"I will permit it...Tyler...all of you..." Said dr Wakeman. "Now then, Everyone, Come with me..."

Everyone stood back up and walked down into the basement into the secret room once more, where the XJ sisters lay in wait. Dr. Wakeman walked towards the central control panel and pressed the red button. Each of the prototypes' eyes began to flash as the XJ sisters began to awaken once more, after years of collecting dust...

To be continued...

Author's note finally!! After many months of working on other stories, personal issues, complications of whether or not I was making the right choice, and creative differences (if any of my friends are reading this it these creative differences have nothing to do with you), I've finally finished this chapter and have begun releasing the XJ sisters like we always wanted! Even though it took me a long time to write this chapter, though like nearly eight months straight!!

It's official, though, I SUCK!!

Also, please leave your thoughts about how should the XJ sisters be upgraded? Either having the same body type as jenny? or an upgrade in their own right?
