Light in the Darkest Shadows
Chapter 4
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot and my OC's
Kaz's POV
When we got to Chaotic, it was fully packed. Everyone was porting in with their families. The only time I have seen Chaotic like is when the Codemasters called back all the Chaotic players because of the M'arrillains.
It was pretty hard to see it see where was our normal table was, but Steph seeing that most people really respected her (translation: most people were really scared of her) she easily made her way through the crowd.
"What took you guys so long?" Sarah asked as we sat down.
"Things," I said sitting next to Steph and Alex. A robot passed by us.
"Robot dude! Can we get 1 Sunkist, 2 Cokes with lemon, 1 normal Coke, 5 iced teas, 1 iced mocha latte, and 1 caramel and mocha latte swirl? Also can you get us 2 extra large pizzas?" Steph yelled in quickly, remembering what we liked. The robot nodded and left to get our food.
"So, how is Emily? She is …" our mom asked.
"She is going to be okay." Steph said. Mom sighed.
"Thank goodness." she said.
"Wait a sec, where is Peyton?" Peyton mom asked. She looked worried.
"Oh Peyton, the dude at the Mipedian Desert. He'll be back soon," Alex said.
"Call me Sonya," she said. The robot came back with the food and drinks. Me, getting the Cokes, I put Tom's and Jared's Cokes in my bag. We explained to our 'rentals what was going on with the M'arrillains while we ate.
"So, can we be able to go back to our homes?" Sarah's mom asked.
"Well Mrs. Blackwell we can go back right now, but with the M'arrillains back, it wouldn't be safe." I said, taking a sip of my Coke. Really, people think about it. Would you really want to go back where all the M'arrillains are? I wouldn't.
"You guys call me Maria. And I guess you're right Kaz." Sarah mom said.
"So Sarah, I was going to ask you this before you hung up. Why did Codemaster Cellen call you back here?" Alex asked, drinking her caramel and mocha swirl. Sarah took a sip of her iced mocha latte before saying anything.
"Don't know. He just said to come back." she said and shrugged.
Suddenly (and may I add randomly) Peyton ported in.
"Hola people!" he said and ran to sit next to Sarah and Alex.
"Okay, that was just plain random." Steph said. She had a point.
"So, did Prince Mudeenu believe you?" I asked. Peyton smiled.
"That's a check dudes and dudettes. What's next in the plan PQ?" Peyton said excitedly. Steph drank her Sunkist slowly.
"Well … I really didn't think that far in the plan … so … I don't had nothing right now," she said smiling sheepishly.
"Fail Steph. Fail." I said. She really didn't think that far into the danm plan?
"Yup, that's a fail in my part Kazzy. I just never thought the tribes would believe us," she explained. Okay okay, she had a good point.
"Oh whatever! The important thing is that the tribes are in the know—" Alex said. She was going to continue, but a voice cut into our conversation.
"Well hello Perim Queen," a soft voice said, but it was charged with power and sarcasm. I instantly knew who was talking. I turned around and I was right. It was Codemaster Hotekk.
"Excuse me. I hope I not intruding on your chat." he said. I could feel a million pair of eyes on our table.
"Of course not Codemaster Hotekk. We were just discussing about the M'arrillains," Steph said putting back a lock of her hair back. She changed into badass girl with good looks to polite girl with good looks.
"That what I was going to talk to you guys about. Can you all come with me? With your parents of course." he said, gesturing to our table. Stephanie stood up gracefully and quickly. How can she go to a polite proper girl so soon and so convincingly I don't know.
"Of course Codemaster Hotekk. We would be delighted." she said and when she turned around to get her bag she put on a look which said "Pay along,"
The rest of us stood and followed Codemaster Hotekk out of the Port Court. I felt the stares of all the Chaotic players and their families burning on my back. He lead us to his Drome. In the Drome was Tom, his mom and dad and Codemaster Cellen.
"I'm glad your better Emily." Mom said smiling.
"Me too Karen." Tom's mom said.
"So, why are the heck are we here?" I blurted out. Why, why the hell did I say that? But, the Codemasters didn't look mad (it was really hard to see through with those masks). They look amused.
"That is a good question Kaz. Why did we call you all here?" Codemaster Cellen said. Steph smiled.
"We wouldn't know. We're not mind readers." she said, her voice thick with sarcasm.
"Well then, we better explain …" he said.
Me: HA! I'm leaving you there! Sadly, it's a really short chapter.
Steph: That's evil.
Me: Thanks.
Steph: Anytime
Me: Review!
Steph: Review!
