Hello again everyone and welcome back to the third chapter of The Never-ending Nightmare, Chapter Three: Spike Attack!

To RandomGirl (Guest): Well yes, you absolutely can use my Pit of Doom. I'm sure Kenny will love it very much. :P Also, Stella will not be narrating this story. She's off on vacation in some unknown galaxy far, far away. She said she needed to look for a purple pony named Blue. I think she's been spending too much time with Adam. But don't worry, she'll be back someday to narrate. You can bet on it! :D

Disclaimer: I do not own Lab Rats, Disney does. Excuse any mistakes in spelling and grammar or anything else that might not look right in the story.

Chapter Three: Spike Attack

Chase (or should I say Spike) ripped the rope that was tied around him and stood up, glaring daggers at Adam, Bree, and Leo.

"No one ties me up, bubbleneck!" He yelled at Adam.

"Great job, Adam. You activated Spike!" Bree chastised her brother. Adam frowned.

"I didn't mean to!" He said. "I just wanted to know what was wrong with my brother!"

"We all did." Bree stated. "But now we have to get Chase back!"

Spike grabbed the wooden chair he was formerly sitting on and smashed it against his head. He roared, causing Leo to freak out and scream. He then made his escape toward the elevator, but was stopped by Bree, who super sped after him and grabbed onto his arm.

"Leo! Don't be a coward!" She told her brother.

"But I wanna be a coward!" Leo exclaimed. "It's Spike!"

Bree rolled her eyes and dragged Leo back to where Adam was hiding behind the cyber desk as Spike trashed the lab.

"He's out of control!" He yelled as Bree and Leo came over.

"I know." Bree agreed. "We gotta do something to stop him!"

"But what?" Leo asked, having no idea what to do.

Adam then yelped as Spike grabbed onto his shirt and thrust him onto the floor. He groaned from the contact.

"Adam!" Bree called, seeing her brother on the floor.

"That must've hurt." Leo commented.

Spike took Adam's squirt gun and pointed it at him. "Here, have some goo!" He then pulled the trigger and the green goo splattered onto Adam.

"Yuck!" Bree said, disgusted.

"I do not want to know what that mystery goo is." Leo replied.

Spike then dropped the toy and fell down onto the ground. Bree gasped and immediately ran over to his side.

"Chase, are you back?" She asked, shaking her brother. "Chase?"

"He passed out again?" Leo shook his head. "This has been happening way too much."

"Chase? Chase!" Bree continued shaking her brother, but despite her efforts to wake him up, he didn't.

Adam joined his sister and looked down at Chase. "What happened?" He asked.

Bree sighed. "He passed out…again."


Chase's Commando App had disengaged, but now he was stuck in another nightmare. He looked around to see he was in a cage. Chase walked up to the bars of the cage and looked through them to see another cage across from his. There was someone trapped inside of it like he was, but Chase couldn't make out who it was.

"Hello?" He called. "Anyone?"

The person glanced at Chase, but then immediately turned away.

Chase scoffed. "I guess someone doesn't want to talk." He walked away from the bars of the cage and stared at the gray stone wall.

"I wonder who that person is. Is it the figure that keeps haunting me? What if it's one of my siblings? Why is that person trapped in a cage like me? I'd really like to know." Chase muttered to himself.

Chase had a lot of questions ever since these nightmares started. The most important one was who the figure was. There had to be someone under that black cloak. But who?

Chase turned back around and debated on how to escape this cell. His bionics didn't work in these nightmares, but there had to be some way to break the bars.

"Maybe I'll find some object I can use." Chase told himself, searching around the cage. However, he came back with nothing. The cell he was in was completely empty.

"I guess my only option is force." Chase then put his fist up and punched the bars. He winced and cradled his now injured hand. "Well, that backfired."

Suddenly, the bars of the cage melted into a gooey glob. The space before Chase was now open for him to freely escape.

"Huh. That was easy." Chase said. "Maybe too easy…" He walked out of the cage, only to accidentally step in the glob.

"Ew…this is disgusting!" Chase exclaimed, trying to get his foot out of the sticky mass. "Ugh! What is this stuff?"

Chase's attempts to get unstuck failed. Instead, the glob started growing, climbing up Chase's leg and overtaking his entire body.

"Ugh! Get off me! No! No!" Chase yelled as the gooey stuff made it up to his neck.

"No!"


"No…no!"

"Chase! Wake up!"

Chase woke up to Bree's worried face looking over him. Adam and Leo were beside her. Their expressions were a mix between shocked and curious.

Chase sat upright. He groaned and rubbed the back of his neck.

"Are you okay? Does something hurt?" Bree asked.

"Kind of."

"You did take a nasty fall when you passed out." Leo pointed out.

"Chase."

"Yeah?"

"Did you have a bad dream?" Bree looked very serious when she asked.

Chase paused. He couldn't tell the truth, could he? He couldn't tell his siblings just yet. Of course, they already had an idea of what was happening to him. But Chase wasn't ready to confirm it as true. He had to lie or make up an excuse. Anything.

"No," Chase finally said. "I didn't have a bad dream. I was just tired."

Bree stared at Chase for a few seconds before responding. "Okay. By the way, Spike came out. Do you remember that?"

Chase shook his head. He never remembered being Spike, but after seeing the trashed state of the lab, he could guess that Spike did come out.

Bree frowned. "Just what I thought." She stood up and walked out of the lab. "Adam, Leo, come."

After hearing their sister beckoning for them, Adam and Leo left, not saying a word to Chase.

The elevator doors slid closed. Chase put his head into his hands and sighed. This was all too much for him to take. He didn't know if he could keep it up much longer.

Stay strong, Chase. You're doing this for a reason. You can keep a little secret from your siblings for a while longer.

Yes, but it's taking a toll on me. I can't do it anymore. This is ridiculous.

You can do it! Unless you want to be destroyed, you're gonna keep the nightmares a secret from your siblings for as long as it takes.

Oh alright. I hope I'm doing the right thing.

You are doing the right thing and you're gonna keep doing it.

Then why do I feel like I'm not doing the right thing?

It is the right thing! Stop thinking about it so much!

"Since when did I become so conflicted with myself?" Chase asked aloud.

End of Chapter Three.

And that was Chapter Three: Spike Attack! See you readers tomorrow for Chapter Four: Marcus! (Yes, he's in this story.)
