Disclaimer: I don't own MegasXLR. Believe me, you'd know if I did.
Author's note: I have no idea if anyone will ever read this. It's like the show just disappeared off the face of the… erm, TV. I have to actually wait till after midnight if I want to catch it on Cartoon Network.
Well, this is actually a start of another 'season'. Ideas are spewing onto my laptop at an alarming rate. There's three parts to this episode, the others vary between two and four parts. I don't know if I'll continue it, if anyone responds (i.e. review) I will.
Here you go:
Jamie was suddenly drenched with five liters of boiling hot water. He voiced his discomfort creatively and plastered himself to the shower wall.
"Calm down, I'm just brushing my teeth."
"Kiva, if it's in any way possible, would you please GET OUT! You're the one who insisted me taking a shower!"
"So? Continue, I'm in no way bothering you."
"GET!"
"Fine, fine," Kiva said, opened the cold water tap and rinsed out her mouth. Another squeal came from behind the shower curtain.
Coop was sniggering at the TV when she stepped into the basement and stuffing his face with an open packet of crisps.
"Let me guess,' Kiva started, leant over the couch. "Monster Massacre VII? Seventh time?"
"Ninth," Coop corrected, cackled as some random monster was sliced in half. "Where's Jamie?"
"Locked in the shower until he smells better."
Coop sniffed his own armpit.
"Nah. I'm good."
Kiva sighed, glad that her allocated place in Megas was the backseat, away from stinky bodies. Well, body when Jamie gets out of the shower.
-
"So," Jamie said, put his feet up on the dashboard and folded his arms behind his head. "What are we doing today?"
"Training," Kiva said and looked up from her automatic simulation she was running on Megas' system.
"Aw," Coop pulled a face. "Again? Can't we go get some food first?"
Jamie smirked as his burly friend's stomach grumbled loudly.
"You and your stomach," he remarked.
"No," Kiva said, turned off the simulations. "You've been rotting in that dungeon you call home long enough. It's time we get you back in shape."
"One Philly Cheesesteak."
"No, get Megas to the junkyard."
"Half a cheesesteak?"
"NOW, Coop."
-
Jamie snored slightly.
Kiva sent him a disapproving glance. She had finally convinced him to take the back seat in order for her to drill Coop. He had stretched himself out like a cat and promptly fell asleep.
"Left. Left. Coop! For God's sake LEFT!"
The robot jarred heavily and Jamie fell off the seat.
"Ow."
"Listen to me for once, won't you?" Kiva's eyes flashed at Coop, who shrugged nonchalantly and Megas shook again.
"What's going on?" Jamie mumbled from the backseat. He had been having a dream about an exquisite alien beauty needing his assistance. Coop will pay.
"Coop is not listening again."
Jamie struggled back onto the seat and re-envisioned his dream, barely acknowledging Coop and Kiva's presence.
"Hey, let's go get some slushies," Coop suggested, bored with the routine Kiva had been having him practice. Jamie shot up straight.
"Yeah, I'm dying of thirst."
Kiva groaned. This is going to take forever.
-
"Aargh. Brainfreeze." Coop started sucking at the straw again, not pausing to breathe. Jamie regarded him silently. He was happy; he was back in his seat.
"How about a drive," Jamie suggested. Kiva stared daggers at him.
"We don't have time for a drive. We need to get back to-"
"Aw, come on," Coop complained. "A short drive. We'll be back in no time. You can stay."
Kiva sent Coop a poisonous glare, slipped out of the car, slammed the door.
"You have fifteen minutes. I'm going to make myself a salad."
The two watched her enter Coop's basement.
"Well?" Jamie prompted. "We have a rare fifteen minutes without Kiva. Let's go pick up some chicks."
Coop gave Jamie an uncertain glance, sucked at the slushie. Then he shrugged, started steering Megas away from the house. A dog suddenly darted across the street. Coop swerved, spilling his drink all over the control panel.
"NOOOOOOOOO!"
"Nice one, Coop," Jamie sneered as Coop frantically tried to dry off the hissing, spitting panel with his shirt.
Suddenly Megas lurched. Jamie grabbed hold of the door handle, fear and surprise on his face.
"What just happened?"
"I have no clue." Coop sat back, scratched the back of his head.
Their surroundings blinked. Coop's house disappeared momentarily from their view, then flickered back.
"Coop! What the heck's going on?" Jamie squealed. Coop frowned, tapped a few buttons on the dash.
"I don't KNOW!"
Suddenly everything went black.
-
Fifteen minutes later, Kiva stepped back outside. Her stomach was full and she was feeling confident.
They're not back, she realized with slight annoyance. I'll give them five more minutes.
Five minutes passed slowly. Kiva's irritation levels rose.
"Can't trust them with anything," she grumbled.
-
"Coop?"
Silence.
Jamie suddenly felt true fear grip him.
Something's… different.
He realized he wasn't sitting down anymore. He spun on his heel.
What the hell?
It seemed like the dusk intensified. Usually, Jamie's eyes adjusted to darkness easily, but he still couldn't see his hand in front of his face.
"Coop?" he called into the obscurity timidly. He listened to the sound of his voice. It travelled far and there was a faint echo.
Jamie stepped forward tentatively, hands stretched out in front of him. So this is what it's like… being blind.
I must be dreaming.
He closed his eyes, opened them again. Still dark.
He considered pinching himself, then decided against it.
Okay. Not dreaming.
An idea suddenly occurred to him. He dug in his jacket pocket, pulled out a cell phone.
It was off. Jamie tried to turn it on, but to no avail. Battery must be flat.
Jamie sighed, took another step, more confident this time.
Slowly, he started to make his way into the unknown.
Part one done. Well, I won't continue if no one reviews.
