One Good Reason

A My Life as a
Teenage Robot Fanfic

Chapter Five Siege
Mentality

The crowd in front of the Wakeman house gasped in unison,
with their eyes riveted on the robot invaders, simply too stunned to move.P To Vexus, the terror on their faces was
something to be savored.P That was how
it always should be; wretched humans quaking in fear before their robotic
betters.P She allowed herself a second
to enjoy the moment, returning their stares with a sinister grin then the orb
between her antennae glowed a soft yellow, as she issued a silent command to
her news truck.

Just as the CNS reporters were not what they seemed,
neither was the truck.P It housed the
remote holographic link that Vexus had used to taunt Jenny, thousands of miles
away. PAnd now, two panels on the roof
swung open, revealing a pair of pneumatic launchers.P With a rapid series of bangs, they jettisoned large
metallic barrels, shooting them dozens of yards in every direction.P As the crowd scrambled out of the way, the
barrels began to unfold and expand.P The
air was filled with the sounds of cogs ratcheting, gears grinding, and motors
whining.P In seconds, the barrels had
transformed themselves into Cluster roach-drones, encircling the human mob with
their stun-ray antennae deployed.

One of the olive-green robots approached Vexus and bowed its
head.P Your Highness, the humans have
been taken prisoner, and the perimeter is secure.

Good work, she smiled.P
She swept her arm towards the crowd.P
Drop everything, and get down on your hands and knees, like the vermin
that you are!P She took a few steps
towards a pot-bellied, middle-aged man who was paralyzed with fear.P She laughed, took his protest sign from him,
and read it aloud.P Save Tremorton From
XJ-9!P I have good news for you,
primate you dont have to worry about XJ-9 showing up today.P Be careful what you wish for, pathetic
fool!

Her gloating was interrupted by the wail of sirens roaring
towards the house.P Twelve police
cruisers screeched to a stop fifty yards away, and body-armored SWAT officers
quickly deployed around the front of the Wakeman residence.P Each cruiser carried an extra surprise a
heavily-armed police-bot that deployed from the trunk, and rapidly wheeled to a
pre-assigned position.P The police department
now had their own perimeter, surrounding the Cluster drones, the human
prisoners, and Vexus herself.

The police captain raised a megaphone.P Attention robot invaders!P This is the Tremorton Police
Department.P Release your hostages and surrender
immediately!

Vexus seemed amused, and struggled to keep a straight
face.P Rising into the air, she
gracefully glided towards the semi-circle of policemen, with a silent,
dangerous smile.

The SWAT teams and their police-bots trained their weapons
on her, and the captain continued.P
Slowly now!P Slowly, raise your
hands in the air!

Why, anything you say, officer.P She lifted her mighty forearms, showing her empty hands

And rapidly fired a series of small black darts from her
palms.P Before anyone could react, the
darts struck the large armored chests of the police-bots, and burrowed inside
their bodies, overriding their internal circuitry.P Twelve police-bots briefly shuddered with spasms of electrical
sparks then turned on their human partners, obeying their new Cluster
programming.P They quickly disarmed the
astounded SWAT officers, adding them to the group of prisoners.

Vexus descended next to one of the seven-foot police-bots,
as it led the police captain away at gunpoint.P
She ran a long, twisted finger along its blue-painted chest.P Ah, theres just something about a robot in
uniform, she purred.P Now for that
annoying doctor

But as she walked back towards the Wakeman house, she was
startled by a jarring metallic clatter.P
A series of thick metal shingles cascaded down from the roof, covering
the walls and windows, each layer interlocked with the previous one.P Sheets of metallic plating ratcheted across
the rooftops.P With a few final kachunks
and clanks, the house was encased within a protective cocoon of metal
shielding.

Vexus mouth twisted into a frown.P If it hadnt been for that irritating yellow-haired human, the
doctor wouldve been drugged with hypnotic obedience serum by now.P Now this metal shielding would slow things
down further.P She did not like
delays.

Brad peered out through a slot in the metal plating, taking
stock of the chaos that had erupted on the front lawn.P The situation was bad and getting worse by
the second.P Thirty, thirty-one I
count thirty-two Cluster robots out there.P
Plus, that Vexus chick took care of the police all by herself, and now
shes controlling their robots too!P He
gave Mrs. Wakeman a nervous look.P Are
you sure these metal plates can hold up against all of that?

The storm shutters will give us some protection, said Mrs.
Wakeman, dabbing her forehead with a folded handkerchief.P I built them to withstand a Category Four
hurricane.P Granted, there hasnt been a
hurricane in Tremorton in over sixty years.P
Oh, people told me I was crazy to put retractable metal panels on a
two-story Victorian, but whos laughing now, hmm?

Mrs. Wakeman!P A
little focus here!P Brad clutched at
his spiky red hair.P Weve got to call
Jenny!

Yes yes, of course!P
She ran over and hopped into her swivel chair, and start madly typing
away on her computer keyboard.P Oh my,
that girl had better not have her monitor turned off, or the Cluster will have
our guts for garters!

Brad leaned back against a table and tried to slow down his
racing heartbeat.P Okay everything is
totally cool, folks.P Jennys going to
be here in a few minutes, and then well have front-row seats to some big-time
Cluster butt-kicking.P Wont that be
cool, Tuck?P Tuck?

O-o-over here, squeaked a trembling little voice from the
living room.

Tuck, come out here, said Brad, shaking his head.P Dont be such a big fraidy-cat!

Tucks head popped up from behind the sofa.P Hello theres an army of
bloodthirsty metal cockroaches with an evil robot queen on the front lawn.P I think my complete and utter terror is
totally justified.

Drews head popped up next to Tucks, his face as pale as a
sheet.P I have to go with the little
guy on this one, Brad.

Oh, come on!P Brad
folded his arms with disgust.P Drew,
youre a robot, for crying out loud!P
With all those freaky stretching and morphing powers you can just do
some of that robot kung-fu chop-sockey on those Cluster drones!P Dont tell me that youre afraid.

Ha!P If I
still wore underwear, theyd need changing by now.P He jumped up, waving his arms.P
This Vexus woman robot whatever.P
Shes the head of the whole Cluster outfit, right?

Far as I know, yeah.P
Shes the queen.

Well Ive been hearing her voice in my head for the
past three days now, Drew gulped.P
Arent these Cluster thugs all about kidnapping and assimilating robots
into their big collective electro-brain, or whatever?P Hey, Ive kind of grown attached to the whole free will thing,
thank you very much, and Id like to hold onto mine for a while longer!

W-well, I know what they think of humans, shivered
Tuck, thinking of the time he and his brother had been held captive during
their first Cluster encounter.P They
want to make us all their slaves!

Pfft, you two are a couple of old ladies, smirked
Brad.P Jennyll be here soon to mop the
floor with these losers, and then well have a good laugh about the whole thing
during Geometry class.

I wouldnt start laughing just yet, said Mrs. Wakeman, in
an ashen voice.P The boys realized that
she was about to deliver bad news, and they huddled around her workstation
monitor.P I cannot raise XJ-9 on any of
her emergency frequencies.

Oh, just super, huffed Tuck.P Jenny picked a fine time to throw a hissy fit.

Its not that, the doctor explained.P I am not able to send or receive any
transmissions from XJ-9 because all communications are currently being
jammed.P I cant even make a telephone
call.P See for yourself.P Just as she had said, the computer monitor
on her workstation was filled with crackling, hissing static.P A powerful Cluster jamming signal is being
broadcast from somewhere very close by most likely from the antennas on that
phony news van.

Jenny has no way of knowing that were in trouble, then,
gulped Brad.P They let that unpleasant realization
sink in for a few seconds.

Mrs. Wakeman was curious about something.P Andrew, did I hear you say that youve been
hearing Vexus voice in your mind?P Is
that the reason that you came here this morning asking for help?

Drew nodded.P Ive
been hearing her on and off over the past three days in my dreams, even when
Im awake.P I actually hear her right
now, he grimaced.P Didnt know who it
was, but when that reporter lady walked in, I recognized her voice, and
something in my brain just screamed danger.

Hmmm fascinating, she mumbled.P The nanobots in your body which are Cluster technology, after
all are sensitive to Cluster communication frequencies.P Perhaps its something left over from your
conversion into an android.P Your subconscious
appears to be picking up Vexus control signals.

What does that mean?!? asked Drew, his eyes
frazzled.P This Vexus is taking over
my mind?!?

You certainly seem to be your normal self right now, said
Mrs. Wakeman, but theres no way of knowing whether that will remain the
case.P Of course, its all a moot
question if we cannot contact XJ-9 before those Cluster robots enslave
us.P She rubbed her hands together
fretfully.P Oh, I must find a way to
re-establish a link with her!P Its the
only way to

Wakeman! shouted a bone-chilling voice, from the
front lawn.

They moved over to the window, and looked out through the
narrow gap in the metallic shutters.

Vexus stood a mere twenty feet away, glaring at the shielded
house with aggravation.P An interesting
little feature youve added to your nest, mammals.P Although it hardly makes a visitor feel welcome.

She gestured towards a dozen Cluster drones, with
laser-stalks deployed from their shells, taking aim at the house.P I could simply have my drones blast away
until your little home was filled with holes, but theres an easier way to
settle this.P She snapped her fingers,
and half the drones turned around, training their weapons on their human prisoners.

Now, doctor, you have five minutes to collect all of your
blueprints and diagrams of XJ-9, and walk out of the house to surrender
yourself to me.P Otherwise, I shall pick
one of these miserable meat creatures at random every sixty seconds, and have
them disintegrated into carbon dust.

A chorus of gasps washed over the crowd, as they realized
the deadly seriousness of their situation.P
Mrs. Wakeman recoiled in shock, appalled that Vexus would vaporize a
hundred people just to get to her.P
Why on Earth would she want her ?

She wants me and the blueprints, gulped the
doctor.P She doesnt simply want
XJ-9.P She wants to build an army
of XJ-9s, no doubt to use in a mass invasion of the Earth.

Brad swallowed the lump in his throat, and pounded his fist
into his hand.P Dont worry, Mrs. Wakeman.P Well protect you as long as we
can.P Im not going to be some robots
houseboy on Cluster Prime

Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, said Drew,
desperately trying to think.P Doc,
cant you figure out a way to break through the jamming, and get an emergency
call off to Jenny?

Well of course I can, she replied, as if it were an
insult to her abilities as a scientist.P
It is simply a question of increasing the power to the
transmitter.P Yes yes, thats it!P Increased power!P My experimental reactor in the basement would provide more than
enough power to burn through the Cluster jamming signal.P Ill have to get started right now but it
will take more than five minutes for me to set it up, Im afraid.

But if you dont surrender, Vexus is going to start zapping
people into charcoal, said Tuck.

Then shell just have to do both.P Drews shoulders heaved with a deep, shaking
sigh, and patterns of softly rippling silver-green waves started to flow over
the surface of his body.

Jenny strained with all of the power in her phenomenal
robotic body, and tried to lift her right hand just one inch off the
floor.P But the powerful electromagnet
held her motionless, as if she was welded to the deck.P She tried to deploy a set of rocket boosters,
but the motors in her leg housings were disabled by the magnetic field.P Her pigtails wouldnt rotate, and she
couldnt turn her head from side to side.P
Just about the only part of her body that could move was her eyes, and
right now they were focused on the Cluster drone holding the control-chip
injector pistol.

He smiled mockingly.P
So where do you want it?P Left
side, or right?

What do you think youre doing, you sniveling peon!
bellowed a deep, sneering voice.

The drones backed off to let a massive robot bull his way
through the crowd.P His V-tapered body
towered over twelve feet tall, and the roach-drones shrunk back under his
scornful glare.P From the elaborate pattern
of dull greens on his body, and the way the drones reacted to him, Jenny figured
that he was the starships commander.P
But more than that, there was something familiar about him; maybe his
arrogant sneer, or that ridiculous hair, sticking out from his head like a
unicorns horn.

He strutted over and snatched the injector pistol from the
hands of the cowering drone.P Do you
think that a common bucket of bolts like yourself should have the honor of
capturing XJ-9, instead of your glorious Commander?P The drone silently shook his head no.

Jenny studied the Cluster commanders face, trying to place
it.P Im sure Ive seen this clown
before.P He sure is full of himself
youd think hed try to do something about those ridiculous gap teeth.

The big robot struck a melodramatic pose with the
injector.P Now, when the history
records are written, and future generations celebrate our total conquest of the
planet Earth, one name shall be above all others.P Today, every robot in the Cluster Empire shall learn the name of

Oh, for criminys sake, sighed Jenny.P Is that you, Smitus?

Argh dont interrupt me! bellowed the
Commander.P And the name is
Blitus!P Blitus, not Smitus!

Well, sor-ry, she smiled sarcastically.P You sure do look like him, though.

Smitus is my older brother.P Oh yes, big brother Smitus, he growled.P Came off of the assembly line ten minutes
before I did.P Graduated from the
Cluster Academy six months ahead of me.P
He always was Moms favorite.P
But where he failed miserably in battle, I now stand victorious!P Blitus, Captain of the Resupply Fleet,
Procurer of Spare Parts, Writer of Very Strong Memos and Annoyer of
Worlds!!!P He paused a moment.P Hmm, Conqueror of Earth is really going
to jazz up my title.

Jenny rolled her eyes.P
Sheesh, what a dweeb.

Am not! he shouted.P
He shot a nasty look at a drone that was fighting back a chuckle.P Enough talk!P Now, XJ-9, prepare yourself for defeat at the hands of Blitus!

All right, all right, you win.P Jenny winced with mock fear.P
But do me a favor?P Could you
put the control chip in my hip?P I dont
want it stuck on the side of my head.P
Itll look like a giant zit.

Foolish teenager, even now youre worried about your
complexion, sneered Blitus.P Very
well, then.P Let me just ungh
reach over here P Jennys hips were
pinned down in the center of the magnet-trap, and Blitus had to lean over a bit
to reach them

And he leaned directly over the ultra-strong magnet.P It yanked his arm to the floor with a loud clang,
pinning it motionless with the chip injector stuck in its hand.P Blitus grunted in frustration, and struggled
with all his might, trying to pull his hand free; but he was stuck as
thoroughly as Jenny was.P Finally, with
a burst of strength, he pulled one last time and dislocated his robotic arm
at the elbow.P He fell over backwards
with a metallic thud, his forearm still securely pinned to the
magnetized floor.

A few Cluster drones couldnt help themselves, and snickered
at the pratfalls of their almighty Commander.P
Blitus grew furious, and shook his remaining fist at the genius-bots
manning the engineering panels.

Well dont just stand there, you worthless piles of junk
turn off the magnet so I can get my arm!

The genius-bot raised a sheepish finger.P Uh but Commander, if we turn it off, then

Thats an order, hissed Blitus, his eyes glowing
red with fury.

The genius-bot pulled a large knife-switch, and the hum of
electricity in the floor died down.P
Blitus reached down, grabbed his dark green forearm, and gingerly
reattached it to his elbow joint.P He
flexed his fingers against the handle of the injector pistol, and smiled with
relief.P Everything seems to be
functioning normally.P All right, lets
get back to business.P Where were we,
XJ-9?P Umm XJ-9?

Jenny smiled down at him, hovering on her pigtail-jets, her
arms converted into a huge plasma cannon.

Blitus face sunk in dejection.P Oh, poopy.

He dove for cover, as Jenny opened fire with multiple blasts
of fiery blue plasma bolts.P Cluster
drones scattered into the air and bounced off the walls, as she looked to dish
out some payback.P Plasma ripped into
the floor, and tore gaping holes in the control panels.P Monitors and sensor panels crashed from the
ceiling, flattening a couple of genius-bots.P
Severed claws, limbs, and antennas were littered all over the bridge.P Jenny spun around in tight circles, dodging
return fire from the drones, enjoying the chance to vent a little frustration
on some Cluster stooges.P She scanned
the room, looking for Blitus

And found him hiding under a radar display.P She dropped to the floor, and converted her
arms back to normal.P Looks like its
just you and me, Commander, she grinned.P
Jenny pulled Blitus up to his feet and slammed him against a wall control
panel.P She deployed her power fist, and
pulled back her arm, scowling at him.P
Now tell me where Queen Vexus is, right now.

Not in the face!P
Not in the face!P All right, Ill
tell you.P Blitus raised an arm to
shield his head, and pointed at a large black lever on the control panel.P That control operates our tactical scanners.P Turn it on, and youll see the location of
every Cluster robot on Earth.

Thank you very much.P She pulled the lever, and the picture on the overhead monitor
changed

But instead of a map, or a readout, all she saw was an
exterior camera shot of the starship.P
Dozens of large retractable doors were slowly swinging open, all over
the rounded hull.

Blitus started laughing maniacally, as a loud series of
motorized rumbles vibrated their way through the hull.P Then the rumbles were joined by the high-pitched
whine of rocket engines.P Dozens
of engines.P Hundreds of engines.P Jenny looked around in confusion, trying to
figure out what was happening.

Foolish XJ-9!P
Youve just launched our full compliment of Cluster attack robots,
gloated Blitus.P Theyre flying at top
speed towards the human city, even as we speak.

What?!? she gasped.P
That no-good louse tricked me!P
Oh, no

On the overhead monitor, a dark swarm of robots streamed
from the launch bays of the ship.P They
had the appearance of ten-foot locusts, slicing through the air on swept-back
wings, with three sets of menacing claws dangling from their bellies.P Their heads were topped by long, flexible
antennae; and those antennae were fitted with laser blasters.P Two hundred locust-bots sped towards the
city, and started to take random shots at buildings and vehicles.P Already, a panic was taking shape in the
streets below.

Well, XJ-9, what will it be?P Revenge against me, or save the pitiful humans in the city?P Blitus enjoyed a hearty laugh; he already
knew what she was going to do.

And so did Jenny which just made her all the more
frustrated.P She tossed Blitus aside,
and blasted a hole in the ceiling, flying outside at high speed.P She had to catch up with the swarm of
Cluster locusts before Sydney was reduced to a heap of rubble.
