From the Sketch to the Real – The Plan Starts


Machine Empire... Where steam machines still lives. Unlike their counterpart, the Cluster, their technology is too much limited. Ruled by the son of Mondo, the Prince Gasket and his wife, Archerina, accepted take the place of his dad. His mission is change the planet to a new evolution where the robots can live better and with more time. The Dump Graveyard is growing and they need a solution to use the old parts of  “dead” robots. Gasket receive a message from one Cog messenger, running in the main ship.


“My highness! My highness! One strange visitor wants see your glorious presence!”

“Who is him, messenger?”

“He say he's member from Dark Star Council, my glorious highness! He's...”

“Don't worry, messenger. I can talk by myself.” - X walks in the corridor covered with a black hood hidding the eyes on torso.

“Why you are here, stranger? What's your intentions if you have an alliance with that insect you call YOUR QUEEN?” - Gasket take his sword poiting to X face. - “The Machine Empire makes no alliances or friendships with the enemy. Since our first war, Vexus and her Cluster tried make the Empire fall. But like the last member of Royal House of Gadgetry, my legacy will continue among the galaxies.”

“I see, young highness, but I'm not here like a member from Darkstar. Once I'm a mad scientist with technology in hands and power to create everything I can give you a small help… Of course, it have a price.”

“What you means?”

“I'll help you to improve your technology! Make your steam machines in new and modern ones. I see you are trying, but with no resource in hands… Your people, your army and your family will desapears… I propose a small help, since you will not attack the Cluster or say anything about our talk. But my price isn't this… I want… Your help to create something for me. It's a … 'Special Soldier'.”

“Trading technologies… Hmm...” - Gasket guard his sword a start to thinks in the possibility - “In my name I'll help you X, but you need to acomplish with your words. I don't trust in you, but I see you aren't lying. Guards, guide him to the Lab Ship. Keep your eyes on him.”

“Huh… Highness, I forgot to ask you something: what you know about the human colony KO-35?”

“They grew and there's a strange company named Liandri acting with them… I can't help you with this. Is all I know. None knows exactly their intentions.”

“I see… Thank you, Highness.” - X leaves the place, guided by the Cog guards to the Lab Ship in other part of space. Gasket keep his yellow metalic eyes on X. What are his intentions to help them? Mystery. His destiny was on his hands.

Walking still the next ship, X continue quiet. The robots are hot and bit rusty, with grotesque appearance and noisy sounds. With the fall of Mondo against the Zeo Rangers, the Machine Empire got weak with few soldiers. The galaxies conquested aren't enough to recreate the soldiers. Finally in the Lab, a strange white scientist Cog with antropomorphic visual receives X with a salute. They start to see the main archives of the soldiers, structural composition, skeleton, armor, bodykits, energy, and other main things. With the base in Gasket's body, X could plan a new army. Behind his help, your plans were with the focus on his new main idea…

Some material from Dump Graveyard came on boxes. Screws, parts of skeletons, lens, visors, screens and sound speakers. Kinds of gadgets in your hands to make tests for Gasket. Rustic tecnology, in fact, but complex for nowadays. How they could keep living like this? X studies and put on his notes all the information data of pieces. He starts to create a rustic skeleton body. With that parts would be hard make something modern. The metal was rusty and cables were useless. He needs something more… New. X ask to the robot assistant if there's something from other planet could be used. For his surprise yes! But he would break the royal rules. On a secret room, there were the rests of the bodies from the Royal House of Gadgetry family. Mondo, Machina, Klank and Orbus and the Prince Sprocket.

It's wrong, but needed. X thinks it's a good idea use the parts. Starting with Klank, the red and silver robot, Orbu's partner. Most of his parts were conserved and in still working. Liking his cables and giving energy to him. Arms are conected to the cables and skeleton, the motherboard of his brain needed be changed. Coils, screws and knuckles suspensions are changed from the dump ones. Klank was receiving a new interior, more functional and with less gears. But his body… He would create a new one on Darkstar in secret. It isn't enough for him… He couldn't recreate Gasket's family again. He's the new king and give Mondo the life again would be a chaos but… He could take the royal family like servants to Vexus.

Klank's body stars to be tested. Brain engines, moves, energy, joints, fluids and other internal parts. He was near to be complete. X is getting satisfied with his result but now is time to return or Vexus would strange his absence. The scientist Cog guide him to the exit. He cover himself with the hood and enter on his ship. Time to return. Was an easy mission for him. Nothing suspect. While he was working on Klank, a small camera was capting the images and collecting information about the Machine Empire just while someone took information about KO-35. She was green, with long black hair, pale yelloish skin, like an Asian, green eyes, snake teeth and a long tail. Her eyes were lime green like the poison of a rattlesnake.

“Good work, Spades. I knew you could do it.”

“Of courss, my masster. That guyss are too sslow for me. Wass eassy rob the information about the human colony. Hope you like your ssmall gift.”

“Thanks, Spades. You found something more?”

“Nothing, Masster. But I believe the data we collected will be ussefull to your new project. But what exxactly you want to create?”

“Someone to take care of my little daughter and teach her how to be a real fighter. Bell is strong, but still a girl. She'll take a time to understand someday I'll die. Because of this, my daughter need a partner to her, like an older sister. She can care my little one while I'm working on my projects. I did not give the real attention to her on the last days. Since Susan… Left us, Bell is alone. I'll not create a babysister to her. Zim is too much stupid to take care of her and Samantha never was a real friend. I need someone I can trust my whole confidence. You understand it, Spades?”

“I think undersstand, Masster… My ssmall ssisster is your creation too.” - Spades show a small hologram from her hand of Hearts, a small pink robot with the shape of a girl, similar to Bell. - “By the way, thiss creation have ssomething with what you want from KO-35? I mean… Asstronema?”

“Yes. I'll bring her back.”

Connecting her pulse to the computer, Spades shows in the screen the information she rob from Machine Empire. More than KO-35 info, the history about the Gadgetry family was there. A mine of gold was on his hands. The history of Cluter War, when Mondo and Vexus challenged theirselves  and killed more than robots he imaginated. Vexus and Vega always changed their technology with the years, getting modern all the time. The list of colonies and galaxies took by the Machine Empire was big. About KO-35, it's a pacific colony and now, with new recently activity there. A strange corporation called Liandri started few months ago trainning people to work on the security. Most of them are women. That's the only information of them.

The city of Megaville!

The airport is always full. People walks carring their bags for all the sectors. Going to the south to take some vacations or studying the animals in the north, but someone new is arriving on her particular jet. With her long dark her on a side ponytail, yellow eyes, big earings, using a white top with a jean jacket and short pants, pink long socks and sneackers, the only dark skinned girl could change the felicity of a girl in few minutes. She takes her cellphone and smiles listening the voice of her best friend.

“I'm finally in Megaville! We'll see soon, girl! Now I need with my parents to our new house. We bought just our third house this month. Yeah, yeah, I know we are rich but business are business. I'm soooo excited to live here. You said you met a group oh heroines, right? Show me them someday. By the way, my dad said I'll learn to be a hero too, it isn't amazing? Ok, I'm not going to be a super hero with super power, it's more a class to learn self-defense and techniques with weapons. Girl, I'll need to shut our talk, but remember I'm here, right? Kisses!”

Breiha, the daughter of a rich man owner of a security system factory. Her family would be received by the Morbucks. A black sedan were waiting for them in the park. They enter and went to the destiny, the Morbucks' Mansion. The travel take some minutes cause the mansion was on an isolated part of Megaville. Passing by the city, Breiha look at the window the shops, the streets and the life style, different from what she used to see in Rockport or Fortuna. That girl is fascinated by any type of technology, with a gadget in the pockets like her smartphone or music player.

The sedan parks in the front of mansion. Breiha change her face to a serious one. Morbucks… Never liked this name, specially because of the little daughter. Ugh… It makes her sick. They enter and is received by Mr. Morebucks and his servants. The table is filled with all type of food: juices, cheese, vines, tropical fruits and noble meat. All selected to their visitors. Breiha take a piece of cheese and a glass of orange juice. Steps walks to her. The little girl with curly red hair and freckled face, using a golden yellow shirt and purple skirt.

“You are well dressed today, Breiha. I'm impressed.”

“Uh… Thanks, Princess...”

“It's good see you again! My father is the most rich man of all Megaville! Why we not go to my room. I want to show you my new things I bought on my travel to the Europe and to the Central America...” - Princess couldn't note Breiha wasn't interested in her things. To be sincere, Breiha HATES her because of her selfish and arrogant lifestyle. Be rich was just something to be thankful, not something to be… Showed all the time. Princess chatter and the dark girl take her smartphone to see her e-mail. A new message from other friend of her.

”Glad you are here. Our mission will start soon.”

“I'm ready for it.” - Breiha thinks.
