Chapter 1: XeoCorp

Alistair wakes up on the day of his sisters funeral. His head was rushing with thoughts and pain shot to his heart as tears ran down his face.

"ALI ITS TIME TO GO!" His mom shouted from downstairs.

Alistair got ready and headed to the car. The whole ride to the funeral was silent.

When he arrived at the funeral he looked at his sisters body and started to tear up. Someone approached him from behind and tapped his shoulder.

"Hey, I'm Kayeno… I was Hara's best friend before she died." The boy was smaller than Alistair, with bright orange hair and blue eyes.

"Ye she talked about you… did you need something?" Alistair replied.

Kayeno looked serious. "Your sister… she left you something that won't be in the will." Alistair looks at the boy confused.

"What do you mean?" He asked. Kayeno looks down at Hara's body.

"You didn't know her as well as you think you did." Alistair grew angry from this. He and Hara was as close as possible, how dare this guy come here and tell him this.

"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!? ME AND HARA WERE SUPER CLOSE!!" Everyone at the funeral turned towards the two boys.

"Just come to this location and I'll tell you what I mean" the boy handed Alistair a slip of paper and leaves.

Alistair stares at his sisters casket and burst into tears.

After the funeral everyone left except Alistair. He sat next to the casket and looked at the slip of paper. "XeoCorp?" He thought to himself.

Alistair pulled out his phone and searched it up but nothing came up.

A few weeks passed and he decided to check out the location. It seemed to be an abandoned warehouse but he checked inside. "Hello? Is anyone there?" He looked around for any sign of life. Then he heard something. A boy stumbled out from a door.

"Alistair! You actually came." It was Kayeno. Alistair looked at Kayeno. "Why did you need me here?" Kayeno smiled and dragged Alistair into a room.

As the lights turned on Alistair saw a giant robotic cat like creature stood dormant in the centre of the room. "What the hell is that?!" Alistair stares at the creature in disbelief.

"Oh. Her Names Stealth." Alistair looks at Kayeno confused. "She's the Shadow Panther XeoBot." Alistair looked at the beast and then back at Kayeno. "What's a XeoBot? And why are you showing me this?" He looked at Kayeno who looked as confused as Alistair.

"Did she really not tell you anything?" Alistair started to tear up. Not from anger or sadness, but from confusion. "What's going on?!" Kayeno tried his best to settle Alistair.

"A XeoBot is a robot bonded to a bloodline… this one in particular is bonded to the Mayara Bloodline, Your Bloodline." Alistair failed to process what Kayeno just said.

After a few minutes in silence Kayeno continued. "Basically, Your sister had this robot made for her and it is now yours." Alistair looks at Kayeno in disbelief.

"This Giant Cat-"

"Panther." Kayeno interrupted.

"This Giant Panther is mine?!" Alistair asked. Kayeno nods and takes Alistair onto the Panther's back. The Panther started to glow.

"Welcome Young Mayara… I am stealth and I shall be your XeoBot." A female voice came from the beast.

After 5 minutes of freaking out he turns to Kayeno. "What can she do?!"

Kayeno smiles awkwardly. "Uhm… she has shadow claws, fangs, breath, tail and a power called Shadow Trail… oh and she can fly."

"THIS THING CAN FLY?!" As he said fly he felt the creature move and they shoot off the ground. Alistair starts screaming and gradually calms down.

Kayeno opens a hatch on the creatures back. "You might want to get inside. It seems Stealth wants to go home." Alistair looks confused at Kay, but he follows him into the hatch.

Inside the Panther was very technological and Kayeno and Alistair could see through her eyes. Alistair realised the beast was heading straight towards space. "Her homes in space?" Alistair asks waiting for a reply. "Just watch." Kayeno says.

They reach space and behind the moon was something Alistair couldn't believe. A giant shark robot almost as big as the moon. "What is that?" Alistair asks in pure shock.

"That's fang… he's my XeoBot." Alistair looks at The giant robot as they enter the door that opened for them.
