Sorry that I hadn't updated yet. School had recently started and now I'm even busier. You guys don't have to worry about me discontinuing this story. I won't let that happen.
Yoshi is Happy, thanks for favoriteing my story and for complimenting my work! (If you want to know my gender, I'm a girl.)
Guest, thank you. I wish this was an episode too! If they make a season 3 I hope they make one with a similar plot.
Chapter 7
Tech's POV
I fell asleep that night and had the weirdest dream. I was running through a prairie pursuing something a good distance in front of me. It was very dark, the sky was red, but yet I didn't feel like I was in a nightmare. All I knew was that there's something I want to catch.
I picked up speed and started to close the distance between the figure and myself. The figure tripped over something and started to roll downhill. A giant rock stopped him at the bottom. He was still, but somehow I could tell he was alive. I ran towards the figure which I could now tell was a bird. He was frozen stiff, and he was looking right at me.
I could only see the outline of the bird despite the fact I was only 10 feet away from him. The sudden urge to rip him to pieces came over me as I drew closer. I ran towards him as fast as I could. That's when I finally identified the bird as Rev. He was breathing heavily and his eyes were begging me for mercy. That didn't stop me from grabbing him.
My eyes shot open as I sat up. I sighed with relief as I realized I was in my room. I got dressed and headed towards my lab. When I got there Rev was observing the gadgets on the table. On the back of his shoulder there was a tear shaped like a smile in his uniform.
Rev turned around and started to talk to me, "Glad-to-see-you're-awake!-What-took-you-so-long?-You're-usually-up-by-8:00-in-the-morning.-Then-again-you-aren't-always-up-at-8:00-you-sometimes-wake-up-at-8:01-8:02-8:03-8:04-8:05-once-at-8:06-I-don't-think-you've-ever-woken-up-at-8:07…" I grabbed his beak, but quickly let go when I remembered my nightmare. In it I didn't grab Rev's beak, but I grabbed him nonetheless.
I sighed, "I was just tired okay?" He nodded and turned towards the gadgets. I saw the tear again and decided to tell him about it. "By the way you have a tear in your uniform." Even though I never told him where to look he looked at his shoulder. When he saw the rip he looked annoyed.
"Oh-man!-Now-I-have-to-patch-it-up-again!"
"Again?" I asked. Rev looked at me nervously.
"Yeah-I-noticed-it-and-fixed-my-shirt.-Apparently-I-didn't-do-a-good-job." Before I could ask anymore questions Ace rushed in.
"They found Mastermind! She's at an abandoned house!" he said. I got excited by the news. Now I can put Mallory behind bars again. After getting Slam, Lexi, and Duck we raced to Wormhole Central.
Rev's POV
We ended up in front of an isolated, wooden house. It was an old fashioned one that looked like it had been built in the 1900's. It had broken windows, cobwebs, and the house looked like it could collapse at any moment. Ace opened the door and stepped inside. The boards kept creaking as he walked. Slam came in after him, but his weight caused part of the floor to break. He fell into the basement with a loud bang!
"Are you okay?" asked Lexi. Ace looked into the hole.
"He nodded his head," replied Ace. He looked around the room. "Here's the plan. We'll split into three groups. Since Slam's already down there he and Duck can check the basement for anything interesting. Lexi and I will check around the main floor."
"What-about-us?" I asked.
Ace pointed towards a broken window, "See that shed there? You two can go check that out." Tech and I looked out the window and saw the shed. It looked creepy, but we accepted our mission and headed towards it. As we stood in front of the shed door we saw just how disgusting it was. From a distance it didn't look very pretty, but now we saw mold, holes in the wall, and it stunk.
"At least the door looks like it's in nice condition," said Tech. He opened the door and it fell off its hinges. When it crashed to the ground a bunch of bats flew out from the shed.
"I-think-you-spoke-too-soon." Tech walked into the shed followed by me. It smelled so bad that we held our noses (or in my case the front of my beak). In the middle of the floor there was what looked like an inbuilt snare trap. He picked it up and examined the trap.
"I don't think this is anything Mallory would be interested in. She prefers high-tech technology," he said. His ears then folded back and he glared at me. Oh great, not again! This wasn't the time for Tech to attack me.
"You-know-what-Tech,-I-just-noticed-those-woods.-Maybe-you-should-look-for-something-that-might-help-there.-I'll-meet-you-there-later-when-I'm-finished-observing-the-shed." He continued to glare at me as he walked out the door and towards the woods. I hoped he'd be normal by the time I came looking for him. After awhile I went to look for Tech.
I made my way into the woods and used my GPS to find Tech. He was hiding behind a boulder from someone. He still had a glare on his face. I jumped to the conclusion that he was hiding from Mallory and I ran towards the area he was in. It was pretty deep in the woods and out of everyone's ear shot but Lexi's. I felt like something was wrong very, very wrong.
I felt something latch around my ankle and found myself upside down with my arms hanging. I didn't need to look at my foot to know I had been caught in the snare trap. A twig snapped and I looked to where the sound came from. When I saw Tech standing there I was relieved at first, but then I saw how he looked. He seemed unharmed but his ears were folded against his head, I could see his sharp teeth, and the way he glared at me made my stomach nauseous. I forced myself to ignore what he looked like and acted as if he was normal.
"Thank-goodness-you're-here!-I-need-help!-Can-you-get-me-down?" He just took a step towards me. "Come-on-Tech,-if-you-let-me-down-we-can-catch-Mallory!-All-you've-got-to-do-is-set-me-free-and-we-can-arrest-her-before-she-gets-out-of-the-area!" The truth is I wasn't sure if she was here. Then again who else would have set this trap? That's when I remembered how Tech was holding the snare trap before he left and how that it wasn't in the shed when I left it.
"T…Tech… You-didn't-set-up-this-trap,-did-you?" I asked. He ran towards me instead of answering. When he got close enough I shoved him as hard as I could. He fell back onto the forest floor. In seconds he was up and charging at me again. Hoping that maybe it would snap him back to normal I punched him in the face. I made sure it wouldn't be hard enough to cause much damage if any. My punch didn't do anything to Tech and he started to grab my neck. I clutched his wrists before he could.
"Down-Tech-down,-bad-coyote!" He growled at me in response and jumped back. I let go before he got very far. My arms started hanging again when I saw Tech trip backwards. I figured that he might be back to normal now. He sprung up, ran towards me, and leapt to bite my throat.
As he started to open his mouth I slapped him in the face and then I bopped him in the nose. He returned it by hitting the bottom of my beak which caused my head to go back. As I looked at the ground I realized by jerking my head back I had given Tech access to my throat. I reached towards my throat to defend it. Tech bit my hand as I brought my head forward.
He spat my hand out and tried to hit the bottom of my beak again. This time I slapped his hand away before he did. He snapped his hand back and looked at me with murder in his eyes. That's when it finally sunk in that he's not trying to hurt me… my best friend is trying to kill me.
I hope you guys liked it! Please review! If I need to, tell me to rate this story as T. I'm trying too keep the violence down, but I'm wondering if I've gone too far with it.
