"Yeah. I'd just roll with it if I were you. So, how'd you get here, anyway?" The newer Alex asked, though he was pretty sure he knew the answer.
((Gene is unaware of the second Alex as far as I know, unless it's planned to be cleared up in the Tremorton High RP))
**********
The other Alex quickly slammed the Jenny clone into a nearby wall.
"So, are you aware? Can you talk?" He asked casually and without emotion, pointing his rifle-arm at her head.

The false Jenny did not answer, instead producing a rifle of her own from her arm, and leveling it with Alex's head. A light in her eyes seemed to flit from one of his features to another, carefully analyzing him, and the others.

"I'll take that as a no." He said calmly, punching the clone directly in the face with his other arm, and firing his rifle at hers.

Jakob decided to avoid thinking about how the fake XJ-9 managed to avoid the barrage of plasma-based shots that Jakob fired. Maybe it was Alex that pushed her aside. Maybe a personal vendetta?
Jakob didn't think on it long. More enemy Cluster had arrived, so Jakob took his attention towards them. Taking them out quickly with his assault rifle.

The false Jenny's rifle was damaged, she ignored it, transforming her arm back and attempting to blast Alex with her palm lasers. Champ took advantage of her attention to Alex, sliding in behind her and slashing across her back. He grinned as the sword tore open a gash in the back of the false Jenny's armor. She spun around, kicking him hard, sending him sliding across the ground. He grinned as he slid to a stop. Apparently this enemy wasn't invincible after all.

Jakob moved out of cover, with a fresh magazine in his rifle. He took aim and started firing at the fake XJ-9 in short, controlled bursts. There should be no way the enemy could dodge it, seeing as its attention was diverted towards Alex and Champ.

Most of the shots had no effect, but several tore small holes into the imitation's chassis, giving glimpses at the wiring underneath. The false Jenny turned to Jakob, quickly firing a palm laser, then turned back in time to block a strike by Champ, he jumped back before it could attack, waiting for another opening.

"Vexus sent one of her drones to pick me up," Gene said. "She even used the portal network to get me here faster than warp speed. I guess this is really important to her."
"Anyway, I did get here late to the party, so I'm gonna need a bit of a refresher course. Jenny, you seem knowledgeable. What's our status?"
She explained the situation to him.
"Huh. That's odd. Why would they be using our designs? Their own technology should be way more advanced. Unless Wakeman based you off Cluster engineering to begin with, in which case there's some weird circle-of-life thing going on there that I'd rather not try to figure out. But... it sounds like we're on guard duty, right? That should be an easy gig -- he said, inevitably jinxing it."

Doesn't make sense, Jakob thought, his custom-made weaponry fires plasma-based shots, which would be immensely effective against most metal-based armors.
Maybe a heat-resistant metal like the cases he uses in his own bullets? If so, how can a sword cut through it?
Jakob continued firing, crouching to avoid the palm laser. This time, he was aiming for the head.

Several shots tore through the head's armor before the false Jenny turned to Jakob, several more shots connecting with it's face, including one cracking it's eye. It blasted through the cover around Jakob, before speeding at him, launching a kick at his head. ((OOC:sorry for the lack of logic in this fight, I just don't want to make it as easy as 'shoot them in the chest/head' because that's...well, it's a hell of a lot less fun))

Both of Jakob's arms shot up in a form of a block, literally catching the fake XJ-9's foot. Jakob then swung his arms outward, forcing the leg to twist. The fake XJ-9 was sent spinning in mid-air.
After all, if it tried resisting, its entire leg would be forced out of its socket.

Eric walked over to the balcony, and looked out at the palace grounds, and the city that lay beyond. Flashes of laserfire lit up sections of the mechopolis, giving the city a strange blood-red glow.
"You know, this was suppised to be my day off. But nooo, you just had to come down here, acting all big-and-bad. What's the point in getting Jenny all riled up? I could have been making out with my wife right now!" Eric yelled out to the city (and possibly Smytus).
Eric continued, jeering at Smytus now, hoping to make him mad enough to draw him (wherever he was) out so Jenny could fight him.
"Hey, look at me, I'm Smytus and I have a big horn on my head to conphensate for my lack of a long extension cord!"
"I'm a loser, so I had to make an army of femmebots just so that I would have a date!"
"Like he's really going to get angry at that." Vega said, rolling her eyes.
"Lets get going on making a plan to stop Smytus already!" Jenny whined.

"I've got your plan right here," Gene said. "Step one: figure out where he is. Step two: go there. Step three: ask him, ever so politely, to surrender. Step four: if he refuses, crush him."

Alex launched several rockets at the false Jenny, then shot again with his rifle.....then dissapearing, coming back into vision behind her, and kicking with both legs to launch her towards the barrage he had launched seconds earlier.
*************
"Sounds like a plan.....but it might be a good idea to check out what's going on by the gate. Looks like Champ and Jakob ran into some trouble, judging by the explosions." The newer Alex responded to Gene's suggestion.
((Sorry I was gone all day. ^_^'))

The false Jenny smashed into the ground, severely damaged. Almost half of it's armor was gone, revealing the twisted frame of metal that held it together. It crawled slowly towards them, as one of it's legs had been rendered completely useless. Finally it raised it's palm, and began slowly to charge it's laser for one last shot.
