Setting Fire To the Sky

[Jenny Wakeman]

[OOC: September 5th, open to Stitch vs Jenny fight and anyone who wants to watch them fight. So I am going to assume Lilo will want to be there)

Jenny hadn't seen the list at all that morning, so she was a bit surprised to be called to the arena that evening. She couldn't help but wonder why. And then someone had explained that she and one other were going to be facing off in a fight. Not a fight to the death but just a regular beat em up. This, this confused Jenny. She had tried to search anything she could about schools and fights. All she could find was that teens would often fight out over drugs or dumb things. But nothing about schools actually allowed fighting inside the halls or even have students watch. 

This had to be a joke. Maybe it was just part of the welcoming committee. No school would really want people to fight. Deciding better than to fight against the authorities, the robot walked out to the arena and looked around. It looked like something out of those movies Tuck liked to watch. Gladiator Movies. Yes that's what they were called. 

"I wonder who I am facing?" she asked, her pigtails twitching robotically up and down. 

[Deleted]

Apparently, there had been a change in opponents.

Stitch couldn't exactly say that he was complaining, because he hadn't quite known what he would do against a human, but now he had no idea who his opponent was at all. Rather than asking, the little alien had skittered out of the locker room and into the arena without a second thought. He climbed up the wall and looked around as though hoping to see some massive monster or something of Gantu's caliber. Instead, what he saw was... A robot? Childish awe and wonder flickered through large black eyes and Stitch's mouth formed an o shape. A robot! This would be just like those monster versus robot movies that he and Lilo sometimes watched. It would be so much fun to see which of the two was stronger.

"You opponent?" Stitch asked as he slid down from the wall. All four arms, antennae, and back spines were visible as he crept toward Jenny. She didn't look like the typical sort of robot that he was used to seeing in movies. In fact, Jenny almost looked human... Almost like a teenager. A Nani-bot? Stitch's nose wrinkled and he sniggered a little at the idea. Maybe that was why Nani was such a stubborn stinky butt. Maybe Nani was secretly a robot.

[Jenny Wakeman]

Jenny blinked as she stared at the creature in front of her. It wasn't a robot like herself or another human, which to be frank Jenny was thankful for. She didn't want to have to face a human at the moment. Instead, she was faced with what she could only assume to be an alien. Boy would Tuck get a kick out of this. Robots vs Aliens, it sounded like something he would like.

ANd then it spoke. "Uh huh." she said giving a small smile. "I'm XJ9 or Jenny."

[Deleted]

Now that was interesting. The robot was apparently feminine! He never would have believed it unless he'd seen it for himself, and there it was right before him. Rather than holding out a paw to greet her properly, though, Stitch flexed his four arms a bit and tried to get into a position indicating that he was ready for whatever she could throw at him. In reality, he was prepared for just about anything. Being fireproof, bulletproof, and just about everything in between certainly made things easy when it came to combating tougher opponents. Whatever powers Jenny had, he felt like he was prepared.

"Stitch," he said, pointing to himself. Really, he had no qualms with starting the fight right then and there. They had to keep the crowd entertained, didn't they? Of course they did. Dark eyes flicked up to the crowd in the hopes that he might see Lilo there, but he couldn't pick her out straight away. With that much confirmed, he decided that it was time to see just what he could do against Jenny. No further warning was given beyond a warning growl. This was one thing he was definitely designed to do. Lilo may have given him a new, wonderful purpose that he wouldn't have given up for anything, but destruction was in his code. He had to do whatever he could to Jenny to ensure some kind of victory.

His growl grew louder when he finally leaped at Jenny in preparation to latch on to her metallic body. Stitch's curved claws aimed to try and grip her as he flew through the air. However Jenny decided to respond, he hoped he was prepared for it.

[Jenny Wakeman]

Stitch. What an interesting name. Jenny wasn't sure why she found it so fascinating, maybe it was because she wasn't expecting the blue creature to have a name at all. But now wasn't the time to think about that, they had a fight to do. Jenny, normally would have scanned her opponent to figure out just what it was and what it could do. But not today, this time she was going to play fair. Well, as fair as it could get.


Stitch leaped through the air towards her, most likely it seemed he was trying to latch himself onto her. That could be easy to avoid, her legs could easily just blast her out of the way, or her wings. But there was a chance that Stitch could grab onto those as well.

No. She would have to fight this off with combat skills alone. Moving her metallic leg in a swift motion, she swung it in an attempt to not only strike the blue alien but knock it out of the way

[Deleted]

The kick connected, and Stitch was sent flying back from the impact. He really should have seen that coming, he supposed, but there wasn't a lot to be done for it apart from improvising. The first thing Stitch did was curl himself into a ball after shaking off the brief moment of being stunned, and as his curled up body hit the wall behind him he bounced off and rolled toward Jenny once again. Stitch didn't even seem to have been slowed too much by the kick Jenny had given him. It would take much more than that to defeat him.

After rolling around a while longer, Stitch uncurled himself and leaped to his feet in front of Jenny. His growling renewed itself and he thought quickly of how to deal with Jenny. The smart thing to do would be to rely on the surroundings to win, and so he would try to do just that. Stitch glanced about, and soon enough the little alien had spotted a nearby wall. Rather than going straight toward Jenny, he skittered around her and leaped onto the wall. He climbed up it with ease and stuck his tongue out at Jenny. What was his aim here? Simple; he wanted to get her to come after him.

"Meega nala queesta, meega nala queesta," Stitch taunted, relying on the old 'you can't catch me' sort of tune to his words. Jenny certainly wouldn't understand what it was he was saying, or at least he didn't think she would, but Stitch's words weren't exactly family friendly. It had gotten the entire alien council to react in a bad manner when he'd said it to the Grand Council Woman. How on earth would Jenny react?

[Jenny Wakeman]

Jenny hadn't actually meant for her kick to be that hard, and she had almost run over to make sure that the creature was alright. However, when the small ball of fur came rolling towards her, the robot had to smile. It was kind of cute, like a puppy. Only well, a little bit more...was creepy the right word to describe stitch? No. To Jenny, Stitch was something else. Different and unique.

Then before she could blink, Stitch jumped onto the wall and started mumbling strange words. To Jenny it sounded like gibberish, to which a robot eyebrow was raised and then furrowed. Oh, so that's what it game was? He wanted to play in the air and have a more active battle. Fine. Jenny could play that game.

With a confident smirk, her hover boots activated and she rose to meet him head on. "Hope you are prepared, because I was testing you." she said, before setting her arm to crossbow mode and shot an arrow at him.

[Deleted]

She could fly! Neat! Stitch freed two of his paws, the upper ones, from the wall and clapped a bit in delight. It was only after doing so that he saw Jenny's crossbow and the arrow that had been fired at him. He skittered out of the way just in time and stuck his tongue out playfully.

"Missed me, missed me, now you gotta kiss me!" Stitch taunted. What could he do to actually try hurting Jenny? He had his acid spit, sure, but would that hurt a robot? He wasn't altogether sure of that much. Regardless, it seemed like the best thing he could do without actively relying on his full strength. So, he worked up a good wad of acid spit in his mouth and aimed as carefully as he could in Jenny's direction. When it was nice and ready, Stitch spat the wad of acid at his robotic opponent. The smart thing for her to do would be to get out of the way. She didn't know what it was Stitch was capable of, though, so he would be interested to see what she would do in response.

While he waited to see what happened, Stitch skittered up a bit further to a higher spot on the wall. This fight was getting very interesting, at least in his opinion. Whatever happened from there, he was eager to see the end results.

[Jenny Wakeman]

And then confidence that Jenny had suddenly turned to disgust. A wad of spit sent her crashing to the ground. "Ick." she muttered, as she tried to shake the spit off, her eyes widened horror. It wasn't regular spit, but acid. That wasn't good. Acid would probably burn through her robotic skin and get into her wires. By sheer luck it managed not to hit the main part of her system, but her boots wouldn't be hovering anymore for the fight.

She would have to figure out another way to fight. Her eyes scaled the walls to where Stitch was and then around the arena. The walls, were probably going to be used to Stitch's advantage.

An idea rose in Jenny's robotic mind, she curled her fists tightly and punched the ground with full force, she hoped that the tremors would be powerful enough to at least send Stitch to the ground and hurt him.

[Deleted]

Childishly, Stitch tilted his head to the side and observed what Jenny was going to do next. He didn't expect her to ball up her fist the way she was, but he kept watching anyway. What happened next was the robot girl slamming her fist into the ground and creating tremors in the process. Stitch felt them all right, but he didn't lose his grip on the wall. Instead, he simply tightened his grip and caused cracks to form with his sheer amount of strength. Now what, though? It was clear that Jenny wasn't about to back down any time soon. Maybe if he shot another ball of acid spit at her...

No, she'd probably see that coming. He had to be clever about this. But what could he do against a robot trying to knock him down with her sheer force? ...Use his own, of course. A devious glint flickered in Stitch's eyes, and at last he let go of the wall. He allowed himself to plop down onto the ground for a moment, only to turn his attention back to the wall and break off a large piece of it without even breaking a sweat. It wasn't a beetle car, but it certainly would do the job.

"Eyaaaaaaah!" Stitch cried as he started to run at Jenny with the piece of wall held high above his head. He was certainly a strong little guy. When he was close enough, he tried swinging the broken wall piece at Jenny in the hopes of smacking her with it.

[Jenny Wakeman]

Jenny was a bit disappointed that the tremors hadn't knocked Stitch off the wall, but it surprised her even more to have him drop off the wall and...wait what was he up to? Her eyes widened as she saw that he had taken up a large piece of wall that had fallen and started running at her. He was fast and strong. This was going to be a fun if not tough challenge.

She couldn't very well hover out of the way, the acid was still making that impossible, so the only act of defense she could do at the moment was put her metal arms in front of her to shield as the wall smacked her sending her flying across the arena.

[Deleted]

A direct hit! Stitch couldn't have been more pleased with himself even if he tried. As he watched Jenny go flying, he lowered his hunk of wall and cheered for what he had accomplished. His stubby tail was wagging back and forth with delight and his lower set of paws was clapping. Now all that remained was trying to follow up with some kind of move. He could have easily taken advantage of Jenny presently being in the air and tried to knock her down with his weapon again, but he had a better idea. He set his supposed weapon down again and started running full speed for the spot Jenny would likely be hitting. This was easy enough to do with the agility Stitch had.

Once he reached his spot, Stitch scurried up the wall and waited. He waited for the moment when Jenny would be a few feet away and then, when the time was right, the little blue wonder leaped from the wall and threw himself at Jenny. Stitch's aim was to crash into her and knock her into the ground, maybe bite her somewhere or scratch somewhere if he had the opportunity. If all went well, this would be what he could do. If not... Well, he hoped he was prepared for whatever Jenny might do to retaliate.

[Jenny Wakeman]

Jenny had been fully aware to Stitch's movements, even when flying through the air. But if he thought she was going to be taken down so easily then he was dead wrong. The robot had handled many other creatures in her time, the enemies from Cluster Prime, the biker gang, even humans. Stitch was different though, much stronger and just the opponent Jenny needed.

Clearing her mind of any distractions from the arena, Jenny felt stitch connect with her and send her towards the ground. Faster and faster, just what Jenny wanted. Her eyes narrowed and a confident smirk placed on her mouth. Her hands started to rotate like drills, just as they hit. Whirl. Whirl, the drill went sending dirt into the air and dust.

If anything Jenny was hoping that dust would get into stitch's eyes in hopes she could land a good kick at him.

[Deleted]

Dark eyes grew wide with wonder as Jenny's hands shifted shape and turned into drills. This robot had just about everything! His eagerness to find out more about her didn't make him any less inclined to hold on to her, though. Stitch tightened his grip, using his claws to make his hold that much more firm, and squinted a bit as dirt was brought up. What on earth was Jenny doing? Bringing them into a more confined space would just make things more difficult for both parties, wouldn't it? And even still, it was just dirt. It wasn't nearly as dusty as Jenny would have been hoping for.

As they went further and further into the hole, Stitch's eyes rapidly adjusted to the darkness and he giggled to himself. Thanks to Jumba, he had the ability to see in the dark with relative ease. Just to ensure that he could try yet again to deter Jenny somehow, Stitch opened his mouth and clamped down on one of Jenny's metallic pigtails. He really didn't know if this would do any good, but it seemed like a better idea than going for her leg or anything else.

It was unlikely that Stitch and Jenny were even visible to the audience anymore. ...If there even was an audience to begin with.

[Jenny Wakeman]

Jenny felt a pinch on her pigtail. Oh no he did not! No one was going to chomp off her hair or even ruin it. It would take forever to get it fixed. She doubted her mom would be pleased to get a note asking for a replacement. Shifting her hand, she stretched it and aimed a punch at the alien, attempting to knock him off. Or at least daze him. She was going to go full out so this time the punch was full-throttle.
