This RP takes place in the TRT Continuity.
We are using the Story-Telling RP Format. We're gonna go slow with this RP, as it's gonna be really random. I usually look on the forum between 4pm-10pm eastern time.
When you post, try to make your addition relevant to the previous post. This will prevent confusion.
The date is June of 2077AD.
Plot: Star Force is no more, and a new era of peace has begun. Despite this, there will always be those driven by their own vanity and greed, disrupting the new balance. Our heroes face a new task of protecting this new world's future.
Teenage Robot Tremorton: The New World ____________________________________________________
It was a nice trip, and the date went without a hitch. It'll be good to get back home. Zero enters Tremorton airspace. Skyway Patrol intercepts to make sure it wasn't a hostile. They let Zero pass in, and he zips on over to Mezmers. Jenny Wakeman is already there.
"Zero! You're back!", she says, "I heard you ran into some trouble out there in New York."
Zero shrugs his shoulders.
"Yeah, The mayor was a bit paranoid and made a bad judgment call. Long story short, I got into a fight with Hayt again.", he replies., "At least I know the city has it's own heroes to watch over it now."
"It's happening all around the world.", adds Jenny, "More well meaning metas are becoming more proactive in the hero work."
"That's great. Just remember that we all wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you.", says Zero with a smile.
"Whatever, I'm just glad I could be more normal!", Jenny says.
Jenny's danger alarm goes off.
"Uh oh, Mt. Fugi's gonna blow again.", says Jenny.
"I know you got this.", says Zero.
Jenny flies off to do her job. Zero goes into Mezmers and takes a seat at the counter.

On a nearby rooftop Champ Mars stood, leaning against a wall and looking out at Tremorton. It was a peaceful day, and he didn't really think he needed to be patrolling, but it made people feel safe to know he was around. Still, at least one person was trying to get him to call it a day early.
"Come on," Azure's voice said in his ear, speaking through the comm-link he used to stay in touch with the other heroes, "I don't even think anyone's Jay-walking right now, there hasn't been a major incident here in Tremorton in weeks. Just play hooky and come hang with me, you can let Skyway handle things for just one day."
Champ grinned, tempted by the thought of just goofing around for a day. He hadn't gotten a chance to spend an afternoon with his friends in a while, but he had to at least pretend to put up a fight.
"Give me an hour," He said, "After that I can do whatever you and Colette want."
For a moment he wondered where his fellow vigilante, Colette was, but he assumed that she was already out making good use of the day, and that she was probably trying to convince Azure to get him to come out and play too.
He heard what sounded like a laugh over the channel, and raised an eyebrow.
"I think I might know something that'll change your mind," She said.
He let his eyebrow rise a little higher.
"Oh?" He said, "And what's that?"
"Zero's back in town," She said over the channel.
It took him a moment to process the words, but as soon as he had a grin spread across his face. He hadn't seen his old friend in quite some time, and it would be good to catch up. Besides, he'd been looking for an excuse to call it a day anyway.
"Alright," He said, giving in to Azure's demands, "I'll see you in fifteen."
With that he turned and took off across the rooftops, wondering what had brought Zero back to town and how his latest excursion outside of Tremorton had gone.

((OOC: June 2077...Koith KM-08 already dead for too long (He died in 2012 at the age of 67) Anyway, I'll make another of my OCs step in, or make a good reason to revive Koith))

((OOC: TRT Continuity is publicly built. Check it out and post what you want added in relation to your OC and I'll make the edit. This is basically a good opportunity to re-imagine him.))
Zero takes a deep breath as he sits in Mezmers. It's been a while since he had a chance to mentally deflate.
After all he had gone through. The trials, death and resurrection, the absence of his father. For the first time ever, Zero truly feels on his own. He looks around Mezmers. Everyone looks so content and worry free. This was the life Jenny always desired. For Zero it was all about being a hero and setting a good example. So what now?
Zero ponders this, lost in thought, almost unaware of his surrounding anymore.

As expected Colette had been with Azure, apparently finding the petty crimes going on in the city too dull to waste a day on.
"I'm pretty sure the most exciting thing to happen was someone tripping near a window,"She'd explained on the way to Mezmers, "So I think the city can manage without me for a while."
It was cool in Mezmers, apparently the owner still felt the need to blast the AC at full. Champ barely noticed, however, as he immediately set his eyes on one of the customers at the counter. He walked over, sitting down and turning to his old friend.
"Hey,Z," He said, smiling as he watched Colette and Azure wander to a nearby table, "What's brought you back to town?"

Zero snaps out of his daze. It takes a moment for him to get his bearings.
"Oh, hey man.", replies Zero, "I think I'm just going through the motions. After my last adventure, I figured I'd just come back home and see where the world goes from here."
Zero looks out the window.
"There are so many like us on earth now. Do you think there are any more battles to be fought?", says Zero, then he thinks again.
"I guess what I'm really thinking is; how am I gonna live a normal life? What would you do?"

"Who am I?" In the dark void, a voice sounded. When the light came, it's the robot with light-blue uniform and his codename on the right sleeve. KM-08...?! How could it be? He's already dead at 2012 in Vietnam, the place he spent whole of his early life to serve and protect before coming to Tremorton and became XJ-9's brother. But, no one could answer this, even Koith-name of that robot-he couldn't remember anything, even his dearest sister Jenny XJ-9. Now, as the instinct, KM-08 wanders around Tremorton soullessly, hoping to find the answers about himself...

Champ frowned, thinking the question over. In truth he'd been wondering similar questions of late. After all, his time in high school was coming to an end, and pretty soon he'd have to find a real job, and have a 'normal' life. Being a superhero didn't pay the bills. Besides, given how much of a risk it placed on the people he loved he might want to give it up soon anyway.
"I..really don't know," He said after a moment, "I've been wondering that myself to be honest. I guess we just have to find another niche to fill, find out what it is we can do besides save people."
He watched as outside a Skyway patrol cruiser drove past.
"Or maybe we just find a new way to help people," He said, "I mean, maybe it's time we started going through official channels. Skyway Patrol may not have the best history when it comes to dealing with us, but they pay the bills and give us the chance to keep saving people. I don't know, Z. I just don't."

Zero shakes his head.
"I was created to do what those who are suppose to be heroes wouldn't. I really can't see myself serving under that bureaucracy. I want to be trusted because I earned it, not because I'm sanctioned. Besides, I'm off grid.", Zero says.
Considering Champ's self concerns Zero adds, "Then again, you do what you gotta do to survive. I learned that from some of the poorest people in New York. POOR people, in New York City. Can you believe that?"

Champ nodded, frowning as he thought through Zero's statements.
"There's bad news everywhere, unfortunately," He said, glancing at the other people in the restaurant. None of them seemed to have anything to worry about. He wondered if that was what being normal was like.
"We just have to do our best to remind people that there's always a light too," He said, "Anyway, it's good to have you back. Tremorton's been able to manage without you, but I think everyone will feel a lot safer having you here."
He grinned.
"Besides, some of us even missed you," He added.

Walking mindlessly to the suburb, Koith then takes a rest at the pave. His power nearly went out after a long walk searching about himself, and need some rest under the sunbeam to recover it. Watching the blue clear sky, he mumbled:
-Who am I?
Koith didn't even know who revived him. The first time he re-activated, he was in the garbage dump with no one own it. But the last thing KM-08 remembered is he found an X-crossed hammer and sickle under the ragged-red carpet...

((OOC: Koith, meet me in the chat area so we can figure this out, because you just confused me. Did he just get warped from another reality? I'll wait there until 10PM. tremorton.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=chat)) Zero knows Champ is talking about Jessie Winkler. She was busy babysitting her sister, which is why Zero hadn't gone over yet. Their date in NYC to see Billy Elliot was the last time they saw each other. "Love.", Zero says. "There's nothing like it." In the suburbs, Jessie is getting her sister Jackie a bottle. She takes a glance outside and sees Koith laying on the pavement. "What the...? He looks like a mess.", she thinks. Jessie then gets her phone and calls Zero. Zero picks up the signal. He places his finger to the side of his head to receive the call. "Sweetheart, what's up?", he asks. "Z, there's a robot lying on the sidewalk in front of my house. He looks hurt.", she replies. "Okay, on my way.", says Zero and then he hangs up. He looks to Champ. "Looks like some action found us. We got a hurt meta over at Jessie's place. Wanna come?", says Zero to Champ.

Champ frowned. Just when he'd been finding a chance to relax he was thrown back into the action. Apparently his work really was never done. He looked back to Zero and nodded curtly.
"Right," He said, "Let me just take care of something here real quick."
He ran over to the table where Azure and Colette were chatting animatedly about their summer plans.
"Hey," He said, his resolution dipping somewhat as Azure glanced up at him, "I've got to go. Apparently there's a hurt meta near Jessie's house."
He watched disappointment blossom across Azure's face, then she nodded, glancing away to try to hide her disappointment.
"I understand," She said quietly.
He nodded, then glanced at Colette.
"You comin' with?" He asked.
A grin spread across her face, and she nodded.
"Of course," She said, "There's no way I'm gonna' let you have all the fun."
With that they took off, Champ heading for the street and Colette looking for somewhere to duck away and change into her Vector costume.

((OOC: Take note- If there are more than two of us online at the same time as we RP, open the chat area in a new window so we can stay on base with each other.))
Zero flies off ahead of Champ and quickly makes his way to Jessie's house. He sees Koith laying there on the sidewalk. Jessie is looking out the window. Zero motions for her to stay inside. He approaches Koith slowly.

While recharging, Koith senses something wrong behind his back. As instinct, he turns back, and saw a unidentified robot trying to reach near him.
-Who are you?-He asked.
