Prologue:

As it was always in the summers of Tremorton, it was hot, sunny and full of people going outside to bask in its glory. Peculiar sightings was nowhere to be bound towards the people of this town, not for the past week as it seems, its almost too calm for Tremorton to experience a time of bliss and relaxation for this long, this made some people scared.

"Daniel, do you have any more boards with you?" Said a man in the regular suburban house.

"No Father, I think you may be over reacting again as always when Tremorton has no danger" Responded the young lad.

This was Daniels family, nothing special, nothing new, they were like any other family that lived in the neighborhood. They carried no traits that made them stand out, the father being a hard-working construction worker, the mother being a typical yet extra caring house wife and the son, a teen who wants nothing more but to enjoy being teen.

Nothing really changed ever for the family, a meteor lands in their yard, they shrug it off. The Mad Hammer Brothers blow up their backyard along with other property, its not their problem. When a Cluster Army starts ravaging the streets outside their windows, they simply go to the basement and wait it out. This may sound like a shocking gesture to hear but, this was the way of life in Tremorton, and they had nothing to fear, for XJ9 was there.

The local hero would push aside all the problem's Daniels family couldn't deal with daily, they practically schedule whenever they believe an attack occurs, but not today. In fact, this whole week has turned the house upside down for this family, wasn't because a giant monster rampaged through yet, no, its because it didn't!

"HA! Hear that Honey? Our son thinks there's nothing to worry about, because Tremorton has no danger'. Oh please, don't you know what that means son?" The father spoke scolding.

"That we can go about and enjoy the nice weather for a good week?"

"No!" Responded the father, rather with anxiety "This means something big is coming, something world ending, something not even XJ9 can save us from!"

Then walked in the mother, no different really from any mother "Oh please dear, you really are over reacting, why are you so worried? Im sure whatever you think is 'coming' its nothing that sweet Robot can't handle."

"You don't understand!" Exclaimed the Father "You never seen this, before have you?"

"Well no dad, but really, I don't think this is some omen like you may think it is." Daniel spoke with skepticism.

"No son, this is no omen, you know your old man don't think that none sense! This is something every person in Tremorton who has lived here their whole life knows, as it has happened like this before!"

"Then what dear?" Ask the Mother

"This all started like this," Spoke the father "That for one whole week, there was nothing that happened, you all know very well that every single day, something, anything that would cause a disaster always occurs in this town alone, earthquakes, floods, invasions of some sort, it all usually takes place every single day in this town and ever since I was born my family here experienced it! Then, one day, after a week of nothing but sun bathing, swimming, walking and nothing but peace and sorority for a whole week passed, BAM! Something big occurred!" Exclaimed the man forming ephasis on the BAM with his hands.

"What dad? What occurred?"

"The Cluster Invasion!"

There was silence in the room for a moment, then continued the father "This was like no force anyone, not on this earth have ever witnessed, swarms of Robot Drones flying around us, capturing all sorts of people they could collect, they didn't stop at just on group, they went after everyone! That included your grandparents, my parents. They took them and did God knows what. I never saw them again."

The father then started to have two tears form from his eyes, having flash backs of seeing his family for the last time. His family came to him and hugged him tightly to give him some comfort.

"Its ok Honey, I understand, during the cluster attack they took my Father while he tried to defend us from them, giving me and my mother time to escape." Tearingly said the mother.

"Im sorry if I upset you Father, I- I didn't know," spoke up the Daniel

"It's ok, thank you, If it wasn't for the service of Skyway Patrol we would all either be dead or enslaved. Especially the thanks, of Dr. Wakeman and her inventions. I remember while growing up I would catch moments seeing her creations do the work of fighting off the Cluster, while even seeing Wakeman herself one time fighting some female Cluster robot I think was named Vexus? Vexes? I don't know, this was all long ago, and for now we are safe thanks to her and her creations, but now, I have this feeling."

"What kind of feeling" asked the Mother

"That another invasion, like before, is gonna happen." Said the father with a grudge.

"Well, if it happens, I won't let anything happen to us" Daniel said with pride.

"Haha, yeah sure, because that won't just get their attention and get us all caught quicker, if anything occurs, I want to be safe rather than sorry, so fortifying this house feels more like a priority than letting some other force of evil come and harm my family!"

"Hey dad?" Asked the son "Yes Daniel?" "You said you saw Noras other creations fought the cluster, what do you mean by that? Wasn't XJ9 around like 7 years ago? Were there other Robots?"

"Oh yes absolutely! I don't think coming up with XJ9 was just a piece of cake, that's why there were 8 more!"

"Really? Well I guess that explains why she's called XJ-NINE." Guessed the Mother

"That's right! Some other kids at school always speculated about Jenny's counterparts! Some even claimed to have seen them some time at a 'Sibling Festival' or whatever it was, they kinda made a mess there but made it up by helping save the day from a flood that the Hammer Brothers caused." Said Daniel.

"I never witnessed them that often, mainly because they also had to deal with situations out of town, but also, because Dr. Wakeman and Skyway Patrol wasn't open to the idea of letting Robots walk around in the public, said they might cause a panic or some outraged person might attempt to attack one of them assuming it was part of the cluster or something." The father added.

"Well how come XJ9 is able to walk around freely? Does Dr. Wakeman just have special feelings for this 'Jenny' as Daniel put it?" The mother questioned.

"Yeah! She's in my school and everything, she just acts and tries to fit in like everybody, she's pretty cool too. It seems Nora treats her like an actual 'Daughter' or something." Daniel answered.

"That just raises the question" asked the father "What about the other XJ's?"

The room was quiet for a moment, whereas the family was just pondering a guess to such a question that was rightfully asked.

"Yeah" finally the mother said "What kind of 'Mother' would treat her other kids with such disregard as to neglect or abandoned one's such child?" She said holding unto her son

"Maybe because she decommissioned them, I guess since they weren't as good as needed to be, or maybe because they came up with better designs, she just shut them down and had them turn into scrap?" Daniel added "Maybe she didn't have any regard to them as 'children' as she does with Jenny, that they were just experiments, robots and simple droids that were built with a purpose and not with a mind."

"No no Daniel, they had a mind" Responded the Father "I saw them take battles and even have liners and quotes, some of quirky, some of them harsh. They were 'free thinking' robots, basically had a mind of their own, even had time to receive and appreciate whatever applause some people felt they needed to give with bows and welcomes. I remember a couple, a purple one that usually had cleaning products for some reason, this green one with a monitor for a head and spider legs that had an attitude when fighting and also this big hulking one that was well, the best candidate to only be considered a mere battle droid with its lake of any humanity."

"Did you ever talk to them father?" "Kinda, I only had a couple of chances to say thanks to one who was the green one with the spider legs. She was friendly to talk to, but kind of stuck up at times. None the less they were hero's just like XJ9, but they never had free time to see the light of day on their own."

"That's kind of sad, especially worse when considering that Jenny gets the opportunity to be free while the rest are just gone and forgotten, we never even hear about them from any other long-time resident of Tremonton. Its kinda messed up actually that this happened 8 times!" Daniel said with a bit of fury.

"I know son, but maybe they were forgotten for the best of reasons, maybe they had done something wrong and that's why they had to be replaced time and time again. None the less, I bet they had a good run." Spoke the mother.

"Indeed, maybe they should at least have a statue somewhere to remember Waksman's inventions by." Daniel suggested.

"Maybe" the father said, "But maybe not, its really up to Wakeman herself to take that honor or live with having to have a reminder of her possible past mistakes."

The room was quiet after that, for the moment no one else knew what else to say. "Well, if you will excuse me, I need to find more boards to fortify the place, son, do you want to come with me?"

"No thanks dad, I told maverick that I would meet him at his house and hang out" "Alright suit yourself, but promise me to be careful, anything could happen any time and for all we know whatever event that's building up is going to explode right when we least expect it, but I trust you well enough to take care and be safe." The father spoke with sincerity.

"No worry pops, I'll be back before dinner" Daniel said before leaving the house.

"Oh honey, I hope nothing will happen" the mother said worryingly.

"He can take care of himself, he's 15 for goodness sakes, he's practically a man in my time, but I pray nothing happens"

But quite unexpectedly, something big was coming, something un expected and outwardly, and not cluster, something worse, something deadly, something XJ9 won't stop herself. In the outer layers of space, solar systems away from earth is a army of what is yet to be known, but soon to come and change the impact that earth is possible yet to apprehend. Only what was created in the past can save what is to come to the future, will Dr. Wakeman be able to prevent such a disaster? It will be revealed, soon enough.
