Chapter 4: Slash and destroy.

Agnes, leatherhead, Riley, and Rocco continued their way through the halls of the Krang base. During the journey, Riley was starting to feel concerned.

Riley: "hey Uhh, Agnes, you sure you know where you're going?"

Agnes: "Don't worry, leatherhead told me where the exit was a few minutes before we met you."

Rocco: "Ru-Ru-Ru-Ru!"

As Rocco ran up ahead of the others, he accidentally bumped into someone. He was worried it was gonna be another Krang bot, but it wasn't.

It turned out to be a 2 legged walking gray kitten, but a little smaller. He was a gray kitten with skinny black stripes along the back of his whole body. He was wearing a purple superhero costume with cyan boots, gloves, and headband. He even had a yellow lightning bolt on his chest.

Riley: "Aww, Hey there little guy."

Agnes: "Uhh, Hey there, who might you be?

Nermal: "Hi ya guys, the names nermal! I've been trying to break out of this base for a week now."

Agnes: "My name is Agnes, and these are my new friends. Rocco, Riley, and leatherhead."

After Each of them said hello, nermal looked towards Agnes with confusion.

Nermal: "Say…..(points at Agnes) aren't you the youngest daughter of villainous Gru?"

Agnes: "Uhh, Yeah. But he changed his villainous ways now."

Nermal: "I see, so what are you guys doing out here?"

Riley: "Each of us were prisoners of the people that own this place….."

Agnes: "...and I've been trying to lead them out of here."

Nermal: "Are you sure you're fit to lead a team like this?"

Agnes: "I felt like I was able to ever since I got this new battle armor.(admirers herself)"

Leatherhead:(puts his left arm around Agnes's shoulder) "We trust her, with our lives. Come friends, we must move on."

Nermal: "If you insist."

Then the team continued their way through the halls of the Krang base.

About 10 minutes later, they were still wondering the halls. And still, they hadn't found the exit.

Nermal: "Ugh, what's it gonna take with how big this place is!?"

Agnes: "Don't worry nermal, I think we're coming up to another room."

Soon they came up to the doorway of the room, and stayed back so they wouldn't get spotted. The room had a few stasis pods going along the walls, and there were 3 tall glass domes at the center. They waited until the coast was clear before walking out into the room.

Agnes: "There's so many stasis pods in here."

As Riley slowly walked around admiring the room, she suddenly found a console made of some very interesting tech.

Riley: "WOW, some of this might come in handy."

Leatherhead: "This actually is quite magnificent."

Suddenly, a few Krang droids along with a couple fire droids marched into the room and were surprised to find Agnes and the others. As leatherhead took one look at them, he slowly started filling with rage.

Leatherhead: "Krrr...Krrrrrrr…..Kraaaannnnng!"

Riley: "Gets that's our battle cry."

So the team spread out across the room trying to take out the Krang.

As Riley and nermal were face to face with 3 Krang bots, nermal sped circles around them at supersonic speed. All that he left behind while he was running was a purple glowing streak of mist. Riley was amazed at how fast he went, the Krang bots legs were all that were left when he stopped running.

Riley: "wow, who knew you could run that fast?"

Meanwhile, Agnes was using her unicorn staff against the Krang bots. She wrote a yellow glowing mist-like symbol of Gru's company in mid air, then she blasted it at one of the Krang bots. The Krang bot got blasted against the wall and blew up when it made contact.

Agnes: "WOW, this thing is amazing."

Nermal: "Agnes, help!"

Agnes turned and saw a few Krang bots repeatedly kicking nermal while he was laying on his stomach on the ground.

Agnes: "Hang on nermal, I gotcha!"

Agnes quickly activated her plasma cannon, and she repeatedly shot blue glowing laser blasts at the Krang bots one by one.

Nermal: "Phew, thanks sister."

Meanwhile, leatherhead was tightly grasping a Krang bot by the head. He was repeatedly whacking it against another Krang bot that was laying on its back on the ground. Suddenly, a fire droid came up behind leatherhead and wrapped its ape-like arms around him.

Leatherhead: "Let me go, beast!"

Then another fire droid came up in front of him and smashed his fist on his noggin sending him roughly plopping onto the ground. The 2 fire droids did their best to hold leatherhead down while he struggled against their grasp.

Riley: "Leatherhead!(turns towards Agnes) We gotta go help…

Suddenly, another fire droid came up behind Riley and tightly clenched it's hands around her.

Agnes: "Riley, No!"

Then while a few Krang bots pinned down Rocco and nermal, a few more pointed their blasters towards Agnes. Then another one pointed his blaster at Riley while the fire droid still held onto her.

Krang bot #1: "Give up one called Agnes Gru, or your ones called friends shall perish."

Riley: "Agnes, don't do it!"

Agnes looked very nervous. But as she saw how many Krang bots were pointing their blasters at her, she looked down in defeat and dropped her staff.

A half hour later, the Krang had put Agnes and the others inside one of the glass domes in the center of the room. By that time, the room was empty and Agnes and the others were left there. Agnes was banging on the glass angrily to see if it would get anyone's attention.

Agnes: "Hey, let us out! I swear once I break this glass, I'll….."

She was cut off when leatherhead put his hand on her left shoulder.

Leatherhead: "It's useless my friend."

Knowing he was right, she sat down against the glass and locked her knees. She felt slightly raged with teary eyes.

Agnes: "It's my fault we got captured!(calms down) What if nermal was right? Maybe I'm not fit to lead this team."

Leatherhead knelt down in front of Agnes and tried to cheer her up.

Leatherhead: "I have seen you save all of us from the Krang. You never gave up, you never showed your fear, and you wouldn't rest until we were all out of this place. You are a good girl Agnes."

Agnes looked up at leatherhead Getting the good feeling from his pep talk.

Agnes: "Thanks leatherhead."

But since she still felt upset, she fell into Leatherhead's arms and quietly sobbed. Riley and leatherhead looked at each other feeling very sorry for her, suddenly, nermal sped up between them.

Nermal: "Uhh, I'm losing it guys! Walls too cramped, and I have to go to the bathroom!"

Then Riley slapped the back of his head.

Riley: "Calm down there buddy, we'll get out of here somehow."

Agnes looked up from leatherheads embrace, then she realized something.

Agnes: "Lucy's lipstick taser!"

While Agnes dug through her pocket, Riley, Rocco, and nermal were confused.

Nermal: "Lucy's What?"

Agnes: "Her lipstick taser, I found it in my pocket after I had first been taken here."

Leatherhead: "How shall we use it to get out of here?"

Agnes: "Last time I used it, I used it to zap a small control panel. Then the hatch to the stasis pod I was in burst open."

Agnes came up to a small control panel on the inside, then she used the lipstick taser to electrocute it. Then the glass dome they were in raised itself above them.

Rocco:(gives a thumbs up) "Ru-ruff."

Leatherhead: "Freedom!"

Then the 5 friends jumped down from the domes platform and started off to find the exit. But since Agnes was the last one to jump down, she stopped in her tracks and looked towards a stasis pod on her left before she could follow her friends. As the others stopped and turned around, they saw Agnes walking up to one of the stasis pods.

Riley: "Agnes, is something wrong?"

Agnes: "It looks like there's someone in here."

As they went over to where Agnes was standing, they realized that someone actually was inside the stasis pod.

Leatherhead: "You are right Agnes, we should get him out."

Agnes zapped the stasis pods control panel with the lipstick taser, and the pod slowly opened with a bit of steam spilling out. Suddenly, a large turtle man wobbled out and fell on all 4's in front of them.

As the turtle man stood up holding his forehead, he didn't look too bad. He had scaley dark blue-green skin, a rough and spiky shell, and a few tiny yellow spikes sticking out around his chest. He had dark brown arm straps around his wrist and a swirly silver letter S clipped to the front of his belt, and he looked pretty tough.

Slash: "Uuugh, what happened."

Agnes: "Umm, Sir. Are you okay?"

Slash: "Yeah,(looks around in confusion) how did I get out of that pod?"

Agnes: "I destroyed the pods control panel for you, so here you are."

Slash looked down at Agnes, then he pulled a warm smile.

Slash: "I owe ya one, the names slash."

Agnes: "My name is Agnes, and this is Riley, Rocco, nermal, and leatherhead."

Slash: "Leatherhead old friend, how's it been!"

Agnes jumped in complete confusion.

Agnes: "Wait, you 2 know each other?!"

Slash: "Yeah, we had some great times."

Agnes: "Well, we met up with each other and teamed up to break ourselves out of this base. Would you like to join us?"

There was a few seconds of silence, then slash pulled a stern grin.

Slash: "I'm with ya kid."

Then Agnes and slash pulled a hand shake, slash was now gonna help them escape from the Krang base.

Nermal: "sweet, now let's get outta here, shall we?"

Slash: "Hold on, I think they put my weapon on the wall over here."

Slash quickly walked over to a wall of weapons with the others following him. He searched the wall for a second, then he finally found his weapon. Once he turned around, he pulled out a simple mace, spun it in his hand for half a second, and clapped it in his grasp. Agnes, Riley, and nermal' jaws dropped in amazement.

Agnes: "Whoah, now that is one heavyweight weapon!"

Riley looked at her hockey stick now feeling a little jealous. But she cared more about getting out of the base than that.

Slash: "I'm ready."

So Agnes lead her 5 new friends down one of the halls.

Agnes: "I just don't know how we're actually gonna get out of here."

Slash: "I know just the place we can check."

To be continued.
