Tobey had always been proud of his creations, no matter how simple or trivial they felt. Perhaps it was because he saw his robots as children, even if he wasn't that good of a caretaker, or perhaps it was due to his obsession. However, OMEGA was far different from any of his creations, as it was not a robot he could control with a remote but rather a weapon that he could control with his body. Not only will this be a perfect opportunity to become a hero, but this can also be a learning experience as he will be up close to the action rather than standing on a nearby building or on top of a robot. Tobey's heart would race as he thought about everything that could happen, like the praise he would receive, even though OMEGA would be the face of it. Tobey would always be the one responsible, and if he was really lucky, perhaps he could be Wordgirl's new sidekick, partner, or...

Tobey's thoughts were cut short as he arrived at a field. To test this suit properly, Tobey used a transportation robot to take him to a field in the middle of nowhere so that if something were to go wrong, he wouldn't cause too much damage. He also needed to remain hidden and inconspicuous, as absolutely no one could know about his plans. Now Tobey knew this kind of work was dangerous and he wasn't going to take any chances with his health, so he had a human-size medical robot on standby. The field was surrounded by trees, which limited the chance of anyone seeing him, and he also had robots that could put out fires if one were to start. Tobey thought of everything and was sure this location wasn't the best, but it was way better than a deep forest or his backyard. While he did consider the mountains, he didn't want to risk damaging the suit, and he had a much higher risk of hurting himself given the rocky terrain.

A lot of planning went into just finding a discreet location, and he hasn't even tested the suit yet. And in case you were thinking about it, this location is far enough away to be outside of the proximity of Wordgirl's super hearing, so there should be no worry about interruptions.

With everything now in order, Tobey would activate the suit, and it awoke with "OMEGA online," and the suit would open up so Tobey could take control. The boy genius would enter the suit, and it would close in around his body. Tobey took this moment to admire how cool this suit made him look and the amount of power at his disposal. For his target practice, he had some scrap parts put together as targets, and with a blast here and a strike here, this suit has shown what it is capable of, especially when it can twist metal into knots. This suit was made with the same power source as Wordbot, after all, so it's no secret that it was potentially as strong, if not stronger, than Wordgirl.

After Tobey had his fun, he would test out the suit's flight capabilities, and while it was hard to get used to at first, he soon mastered it, and now he was ready to be a superhero. Though perhaps he should run a speed test first.

With a powerful boost, Tobey would fly from the field to the small island away from the city within 10 seconds. "I must say I have truly outdone myself; surely this is as close to perfection as possible". However, before he could leave, something interesting caught his eye: a crater in the ground formed by a large object of some kind. Upon closer inspection, it was a spaceship with a very familiar symbol on it, which very much implied that this ship was Wordgirls. "It would be pretty rude of me to enter without permission. Eh, but it's not like she'll know". And with that, he entered the ship, where, oddly enough, there was no form of security system, as if she never expected anyone to cross the island. The place was surprisingly big, with so many rooms, as if this were some sort of hangout. He did his best to not disturb any objects around him, and if he did, he would just put them back into place. This place was cool, and he could only imagine a scenario where they were best friends in relaxation, but that was only a fantasy.

"You know, if we were actual friends, I could help her repair this ship," Tobey said to himself. He proceeded to look in the trophy room and found some familiar inventions from other well-known villains. But what caught his eye were two of his own: Robo-Tobey and Wordbot, it was rather strange to see some of his old creations after so long, and it's not like he couldn't rebuild them, but he just didn't feel the need to do so, especially when he would be pulling the same trick twice.
