Christmas Special Part 4
We were surrounded by seven cyberagers.
"Well, look at the right side" Leo said "At least you solved the mystery of how these guys know our every move"
"Yeah" I said "But the real mystery is what they want"
"DarkArcher" said the cyberager that entered the room last "I am cyberager general 1337 of squad 13. JR has designated you the figure of authority here"
"What do you want in this cabin?" said Dark "And how are you even alive?"
JR answered Dark in a monotone voice "These seven cyberagers escaped the shut down from the government by hiding underground and hibernating for so long. They've followed rumors and reports of a very rare artifact to this location. You will tell us where it is"
I interrupted "And how do you fit in with this plan JR"
Cyberager 1337 replied "JesusRocks is only a puppet, through hypnotism. He is, or was, our human spy. Gather information and telepathically report, but his findings were unsuccessful. So now we are doing this through brute force."
"Hypnotism?" said Kyuu "Robots can hypnotize people?"
I whispered to Leo "We need to get all of us out of here, any ideas?"
"Uhh…we could climb up the chimney?" Leo said
"That's a terrible idea" I said, but then noticed Dark left the fireplace door shut "Oh, that's brilliant. Leo gets me that bottle of vodka while Dark is talking"
"You still haven't answered the question" said Dark "What is it exactly, you are after?"
"A diamond, called the warp star, its power is untold" said cyberager 1337
I interrupted, holding the bottle of vodka in my hand, "Wait, you guys came all the way here chasing a myth of a magical stone?" As I spoke I moved closer to the fireplace.
The cyberager said "Your plan of using a combination of alcohol and fire will not work"
"What? I just want to open my present" I said as I was just a few steps away from the fireplace.
"You plan to throw the vodka into the fireplace, turn up the gas, and use it to create a flare that would distract us for your getaway. Humans are too predictable, and we are prepared." said the cyberager "Your actions are irrelevant and you will die now"
1337 stared at JR and JR moved in a hypnotized state, picked up a gun and aimed it at me
"Wait, wait, WAIT!!!" I said "I know where the star thingy is"
"Clearly a ploy to buy you more time" said 1337 "Kill him"
"WAIT!!!" I said "Yeah it does buy me more time, but I really do know where the diamond is. Though I want you to answer three questions first."
"What?" 1337 replied
I asked "What do you intend to do with us when you have the diamond, how do you break your telepathic hold on JR, and what does this diamond supposedly do?"
"JR is our puppet until I choose to let him go or if my circuitry is destroyed" answered cyberager 1337 "And the diamond is told to have the unique property of amplifying the power of any form of energy"
"Ah, I see" I replied "And what about us?"
"You will all die, with or without your help" said 1337
"I admire your honesty" I said
"Wait, can't you just enslave us?" said JR in a normal voice. Although JR was still holding a gun, I noticed his mind control isn't 100%
"Holding a mind control on so many people would be a waste of time" said cyberager 1337
Then a large rang came throughout the cabin. It was 12:00, Christmas day.
"Oh look, It's Christmas" I said "May I open my presents?"
"Stop toying around" said the cyberager "Tell us were the warp star is"
I pretended to ignore him "Kyuu, you got me what I asked you for Christmas right?" I said
"Yeah, it's in that blue box on your left" she said
I walked to the Christmas tree and grabbed a blue box
"Blue, wait…" said Kyuu
"If you were so smart at guessing whatI would do" I said "Then you should know I never give up, and I always have a way out" I ripped open the wrapping paper, 1337 ran at me, I pulled out the boxes content. It was a pink bunny.
"What?" I said surprised. Cyberager 1337 tossed me against the fireplace and I fell, dropping the vodka and I watched it roll towards the other cyberagers.
"I meant your other left" Kyuu said "That box was for Leo"
"You got me a pink bunny!" said Leo "Thanks, but Yuni already got me one a few days ago"
"Oww" I replied. I was fine, but pretended to be in pain so the cyberager would let his guard down. I reached for the right box, quickly unwrapped it and pulled out a sword.
"What?" said 1337
"Wow, never seen a robot surprised before" I said as I used the sword to slash the Christmas tree. I then opened the fireplace and turned up the gas. The tree fell and then went on fire, the Christmas star on top landed on Leo's feet. He soon realized the truth.
"OMG, this is the warp star!" yelled Leo. All the cyberagers stared at him "Uh-oh"
"Leo! If that thing is real, use its ability on the fire" I said to him "Fire is a form of energy! Amplify it!"
Leo pointed the star at the fire, which is now in the middle of the room. Nothing happened, and the cyberagers moved closer to Leo.
"It's not working" yelled Leo
"You have to believe that it does work!" I yelled back. 1337 walked to me and I used the sword to slash a diagonal line through his face.
"Believe? That sounds so cheesy" said Gcar
"No time" said Dark "We need to get out of here!"
"Stop" said one of the cyberagers blocking the exit. Leo tried using the star again and the fire exploded in a blaze. The explosion didn't destroy the cabin, but blew several of the cyberagers on their backs. Now the whole cabin was on fire. The cyberagers were surprised by the power and Dark managed to get Gcar, JR, and Capler out of the cabin. The fire cut off Masty and Kyuu from the others. I joined Leo and told him to go upstairs.
"Don't let them get away" yelled the 1337 as he exited the cabin through the broken glass door.
Kyuu and Masty ran down to the basement followed by one cyberager. Three of them approached Leo and me as we tried to make our way up the stairs. They tried to grab me and I swung my sword at them to keep their arms from grabbing me. I kicked one of them off the stairs and told Leo to meet me at the balcony.
"Do we jump into the snow?" asked Leo
"No, the basement is filled with flammable objects, by the time we get back on our feet, this cabin will blow up" I said to him while reaching for the zip line I noticed earlier that day "We'll use this. Jump on my back, since I'm taller than you"
As I got ready to go down the zip line, I looked back and noticed two cyberagers running through the second floor hallway.
"Here we go!" I yelled
Meanwhile, Masty and Kyuu raced through the secret emergency tunnel
"One of them is following us!" said Kyuu
"Wanna take him on?" said Masty looking back. He turned at Kyuu to see that she was still running and getting farther from him "Wait!"
The cyberager was running down the tunnel as well, but then a huge roar erupted and the floor shook. Everyone in the tunnel tripped and fell on the ground.
"What was that?" said Kyuu
Masty looked back and saw the fire quickly engulfs the cyberager and that the tunnel was exploding.
"RUN!" yelled Masty
I jumped off the balcony and rode on the zip line. A huge explosion blew the cabin and we looked back to see the explosion blast straight through the second floor and destroy the cyberagers.
"Woah!" we both said as the zip line snapped and we fell into the snow
"Keep your head down!" I said to Leo as the fire from the explosion flew everywhere.
Masty and Kyuu reached a ladder that led up to the surface, Masty now was ahead of Kyuu. The fire was quickly getting to them.
"Hurry!" yelled Masty. The two jumped out of the tunnel exit as fire exploded out of it.
"Whew" said Masty "We made it! I'm gonna give you such a big hug."
Kyuu laid face down in the snow.
"Kyuu? Kyuu!" yelled a worried Masty
Leo and I got away from the cabin and used our walkie talkies to communicate with Dark
"Dark, where are you?" I said
"I'm with Gcar, Capler, and JR" he replied "Do you still have the star?"
"Yeah" I replied
"We need to get to the city" said Dark "I'm heading for this lake a 2 miles away from the cabin. Gcar is taking the snow plow and driving Capler and an unconscious JR to the police HQ for safety"
"We'll meet you at the lake" I said "We can hide the star at the bottom of it. Cyberagers are still robots, and robots can't swim"
"See you there" said Dark.
"Blue!" yelled Leo who was at the rubble of what used to be a cabin "This snow mobile survived the explosion! We can ride it!"
"Great idea" I said. Leo took the wheel and I sat behind him "Allons-y, let's go!"
