New Bot on the Block

Epilogue

2 weeks after Leo's heroic sacrifice, the citizens of Tremorton built a memorial in respect; Everyone, even Don Prima and the Crust Twins, attended the ceremony in deep remorse. The Mayor made a speech of Leo's sacrifice that ensures that there is hope for morality yet and praises his actions deeply.

Nora was then called up to the podium and said through the mic "Leo is a remarkable robot, yet a good natured boy. Not only did he shielded others from inevitable harm, but his caring nature made even XJ-1 calm down… and it was his first attempt too. When I first encountered him, he was in his human Exo-Skin and he stood like a statue, staring at Jenny as she and I went to the park for an investigation; although we didn't know anything about him at the time, I know now he was willing to sacrifice himself to save the planet. I'll miss him deeply because he is an exceptionally strong, yet caring boy that puts others over himself."

The audience clapped as Nora walked off the podium and into her seat; The Mayor then thanked Nora for her compassionate speech and called Brad next to the Podium.

Brad then strode up to the Podium and said in a cracked voice "Leo… Is a smart guy; Not only is he having a Distinction in every subject in school, but he also knows the right words to say. He may have been brought up by the wrong crowd, but he knew immediately that he didn't belong there; he also chose and fallen for the right girl that unfortunately cannot be here. His heroric sacrifice is sincerely awe inspiring and incredibly courageous; I will miss him and wish he was still around. Thank you."

The audience clapped at Brad's heartfelt speech and he sat down next to Nora; as the Mayor went up on the Podium again, Brad leaned to Nora's ear and whispered "Where IS Jenny, by the way?" Nora whispered back "She's not in her room, last I checked…"

Meanwhile, near the sun's orbit, Jenny searched the wreckage of the Cluster Flagship; she had dried tear streaks down her cheeks from her non-stop crying after Leo's sacrifice. Up until now, she was holed up in her room, hugging her knees and sobbing hard as she constantly thought of his heroic sacrifice.

On Wednesday, Nora tried to comfort her through the locked door, but it did no avail after a few hours; By Saturday, Brad came by and tried his best to calm Jenny down, but he inevitably failed. On Monday, Melodie sincerely apologised to Jenny about Leo's sacrifice and tried to convince her that he wouldn't let her be idle while danger is out there, but she was drowned out in mid-sentence; By Friday, Sheldon and Misty came by and said a few words, before Jenny, needing time to herself, blasted the bedroom door to pieces, sending Sheldon and Misty to flee when they got the picture. Earlier in the morning on present day, Jenny's right pigtail quivered and she activated her dish to hear a faint, yet familiar voice saying "…Jenny…" She widened her optics in astonishment, thinking that Leo might have even the slightest possibility of surviving; she then opened her bedroom window quietly and flew out the Earth's orbit.

As she searched on a floating piece of the flagship, she realises it was the room where Leo was built; she searched the capsules, hoping to see even a part of him still intact, but her search proved to be fruitless. Devastated, she slumped against the wall and slid down slowly until she sat with her back against the wall, she then sniffed a few times as she well with tears and her mouth trembled, until she buried her face in her hands and sobbed hard.

She stayed like this until 30 minutes later, when she saw a small light coming to her; she diverted her fingers and opened her optics slightly to see a small, familiar spark floating in front of her. She stared at it as it stood there stationary, before she slowly lowered her hands and held out her left hand to the little spark; it then slowly floated down to Jenny's palm and trickled it playfully, prompting Jenny to chuckle with a slight blush.

She then smiled weakly and looked at the spark endearingly, before it hovered off from Jenny's palm and led her out of the R&D room; when she was out of the R&D room, she saw millions of same coloured sparks emerging out of the sun. When the spark joined it's family, Jenny said in shock as the sparks reflected from her optics "Leo?"
