_________________________________________________________________________________________________
Sunlight shone through the windowpanes of the old building. Not a sound could be heard, as the hypnotizing Hypno Toads the Overlords use to brainwash people fell asleep on the job. Yes, all was quiet… "Hell Yah!"… Never mind.
"Damnit man! How are you getting all these good hands?" Heero whined as he threw his cards on the small fold out table.
"It's my revenge for you making those holograms zap me!" Colossus retorted while rubbing a bandage on his arm.
"Look I said I was sorry! Seriously, I didn't know I had the materializer on!"
"Settle down guys and deal the next hand already." Grand snapped at both of them. She still had a death grip on Shadow. Colossus sighed and shuffled the deck of cards they were playing with. He was dealing out the hands when Higrokar appeared out of nowhere.
"Hey guys!" Colossus jumped, sending the cards flying through the air and sticking them into the ceiling.
"Damnit Higrokar! I told you a million times not to sneak up on me!"
"Sorry mate. But I have something for you guys." Higrokar popped a CD into a nearby terminal. After a few keystrokes, a picture of Higrokar in a Little Bo Peep costume appeared. "Umm… that's not it… sorry about that… wrong file." Colossus and Sonic were laughing so hard that if they could cough up their lungs they would've. Heero was in a corner in the fetal position screaming "My eyes! My eyes!" Grand was laughing harder than Colossus and Sonic combined. Shadow, still in the grip of Grand, was just sitting there, half deaf and bored out of his mind, and Crimson… Crimson just sat there.
"Wa ha ha ha! That's funnier than the time you forgot to sit down!" Colossus sputtered between fits of laughter.
"As I was saying." Higrokar muttered with a noticeable blush on his face. "Ah! Here it is." The picture disappeared and was replaced by a 3-D schematic of a large military bunker-like base with a tall tower in the middle. "And now for something completely different."
"Just get to the point… or I'll nail your head to the floor." Someone muttered.
"Who said that?" Sonic raised his hand, "Okay, shut up Norman. Now onto the point." Higrokar pulled out a laser pointer from underneath the table.
"Hey that's mine!" Grand said while cutting off Shadow's airflow.
"Why yes, yes it is. And your point is? Exactly." Cutting Grand off while she was trying to say something. "Now then lets get on with this. "Heero hit the lights please." A piece of metal flew through the air and broke the light above the projector.
"What? You said to hit it." Heero said with people staring at him in surprise and annoyance.
"I don't think he meant throw something at it." Shadow said as he tried to take advantage of Grand's surprise and break free. It failed miserably.
"Can I please get through this?"
"Go right ahead."
"Thank you. Now then." Higrokar focused as he remembered what to say.
"This is one of the M.O.C.P's or Military Overlord Control Posts that the Overlords of Twilight use to control our people. The M.O.C.P broadcasts a high energy wave that mind breaks all who are in its range."
"Then how come we aren't under its control?" Sonic asked.
"Three reasons: One, the signal doesn't reach this far. Two, we have these." Higrokar pushed up his sleeve and revealed a metal watch looking thing. "This is a Granda Mind Block Programmer, or G.M.B.P for short. Not only does it block the signal, it tells time, hacks terminals, accesses the Internet, and records videos!"
"Sweet! Where can I get one?" Sonic asked as he reached for the one on Crimson's arm. "Ow!" he pulled back his arm after Crimson bit it brutally.
"I'll see if I can find one somewhere."
"What was the third reason we aren't under their control?" Shadow interrupted.
"Three… the signal tower is down." Higrokar said with a massive grin on his face.
"Let me guess… you guys had something to do with it right?"
"Oh Shadow. You read me like an open book! Come here!" Grand glomped Shadow even harder. Shadow made a small shriek that vaguely sounded like "Help me" before he turned blue.
"We put a little surprise on the tower yesterday. That's how you two met Crimson." Crimson blushed and looked away with embarrassment.
"It was nothing."
"Nothing? You took out the tower! The main control sector of the M.O.C.P. Even if you were discovered and chased down by several platoons of heavy mech units." Colossus praised. Crimson gulped and blushed even more.
"Yes, yes, yes, Crimson saves the day once again… can I please finish this?" Higrokar said with irritation and boredom. Every conversation in the room instantly stopped, even the one with Heronon in a corner on a HAM radio headset talking to the robot across the city. "Thank you! Sigh; sometimes I wonder why I hang around with you people. Now then" Higrokar turned on "Grand's" laser pointer, "This control post is one of the most secure in the entire world. Now although we stopped the broadcast of the energy signal, it won't last very long. The 'Maintenance Men' are on their way… they will be here tomorrow."
"Oh come on! I worked hard to stop that thing!"
"Yes… unfortunately, the Overlords don't care about our effort… they just want to see us burn." Higrokar sighed and a slight grin creped onto his face, "But if they want a fight they don't know whom their messing with."
"So… what does this have to do with us?"
"Damn I almost forgot. It affects us in the sense that we have only tonight to go through with my plan."
"Okay… then what is your plan."
"I was getting to that. Now then… here in this general area," Higrokar motioned at the area nearby a wall with his laser pointer, "Is were we make our insertion. Crimson will scale the wall and activate this gate here to open. Once that is completed, Crimson will leave and our main party will enter."
"Who is on the team?" Sonic asked
"You, Shadow, and Colossus will be inside. Grand and Heero will be on standby for any technology and medical issues. Crimson… well I just said her role."
"What about you?"
"I'll be on extraction and mapping… oh and you all will need a distraction to."
"Distraction? Why?"
"Keep the sentries off your backs, of course. I'm good at distractions. Isn't that right guys?" Colossus, Grand, and Crimson nodded rapidly.
"So… what do we do when we are inside?" Shadow asked from the rafters. How he got up there and away from Grand we will never know.
"I'll tell you once you get inside. The job begins at midnight. So that gives you about… let's say… 4 hours."
"How will we stay in contact?" Colossus inquired.
"We'll use the Codecs of course. You'll find the equipment to use in your rooms. So set it up and get ready. This might get tense."
And it's ALIVE!!!! And it is Short I know! So don't tell me that. But by the time I post this to the site, I will be half way through the next chapter. So… here it comes! Chapter 4: Stealth in the Belly of the Beast. So until next time… I'm Dark Leader Omega… and I'm out!
Grand: Get down here Shadow!
Shadow: Hell no!
Grand: *growls and starts to throw things*
Higrokar: Leave Shadow alone, Grand. He has work to do.
Grand: *sighs* okay…
Higrokar: *whispers* He'll be back. Here's his room number.
NEW UPDATE: Unfortunately, I can't write Mega Sonic X… Why you ask? Because my brother has the game… so I don't have a resource to use… but I'll get it eventually.
