Jetroids Prologue by Surge64

Jetroids Prologue

From high above the mysterious planet Velbus, the floating metropolis of Atmo City is home to a robotic race called Jetroids. Jetroids are humanoid robots designed to resemble modern day jet aircraft, equipped with weapons, gadgets, and the ability to fly. This is their story:

Prologue

200 years ago...

All Jetroids live in Atmo City above the planet, but Velbus is a mysterious and mostly barren planet. The entire planet surface is covered with 350 foot tall trees and has individual mountains jutting up from those trees. The surface of the planet, with its tall trees, is a good place to hide a laboratory right? Yes, which is what 2 Jetroid scientists named Archibald and Vaxtus did, as did many more before them. Several Jetroid scientists built labs on Velbus' surface to monitor conditions on the planet's surface or to conduct experiments in secret. For Archibald and Vaxtus, their lab was built for secrecy, at least in Vaxtus' eyes.

Archibald and Vaxtus were two of the best Jetroid scientists of their day. Archibald was red and yellow in color and always had a cheerful face. Vaxtus on the other hand was dark green in color and had devilish looking canards on his head. His eyes were as black as night with a white slit for a pupil. Being the best of their day, Archibald and Vaxtus made many achievements together, constructing parts to inplement into Jetroids and a huge variety of awesome gadgets.

One day, Archibald said "How about we build a Jetroid like us as a son?" Vaxtus said "All right." So the two collaborated to build a Jetroid that was white as snow with black, gray, and yellow details. They named him Aero.

However, Vaxtus knew that Aero would like Archibald for a father more than him, and despised both Aero and Archibald.

One day, the laboratory picked up readings of fragments of a powerful gem called the Estrella Diamond. Upon reading about the gem and seeing what it could do, Vaxtus became corrupt with power and wanted it. "With the whole Estrella Diamond, I can recreate Atmo City and Velbus in my image." Archibald didn't want to use the diamond for evil and made anonymous preparations for the inevitable.

"I don't want to use the diamond's power for evil" Archibald said to Vaxtus, after mustering the courage. Vaxtus grunted and said "If you won't help me, you will be destroyed." But Archibald remained true to his word, so Vaxtus grabbed him and threw him out of the laboratory. Before Archibald could recover, Vaxtus launched homing missiles at him to destroy him.

"Now to ensure that Aero doesn't interfere with my plans." Vaxtus then implanted a virus that hindered Aero's memory circuits, and left to look for the Estrella Diamond's fragments.
