Hey guys, im really sorry I havent been updating. What with catching up on schoolwork, I simply havent had time! But, Im here now with another cluster of chapters so..
Chase P.O.V
"No!" The Mad Mastermind yelled. "This isn't happening! I have all the power in the world. It can't simply be- be gone!" He yells out, looking to me for some explanation.
I clutch my side as I shakily answer, trying my best to sound strong and victorious. But I know, that even though we succeeded in our mission, I've failed inside. Or rather, my system has failed. And Adam and Bree...they actually stood up for me! So they do care about me. I was stupid to think they didn't. Even when the Mad Mastermind was going to shoot them, they didn't run or try to escape. They stood by me, to protect me. I had to apologize to them, once we got out of here. Before it was too late.
"All of your p-power is now...i-in this!" I say, holding about what looks like a little black box, glowing with a blue aura from the technology absorbed inside. The Mad Mastermind growls.
"Give me that!" He yells, charging towards me.
Thinking fast, I yell to my sister. "Bree catch!" She super speeds over to me and catches the power box easily, while Adam steps in front of me, stopping the Mad Mastermind in his tracks and engaging him in a battle.
"Just because I'm not bionic, doesn't mean I can't fight!" He was saying, but I was hardly listening. While the Mad Mastermind kept trying to catch Bree, and fending off Adam while doing it, I had been overlooked. They were probably thinking that I was getting some rest, like they told me. But I had a job to do, and I wasn't about to leave without completing it. The bomb hadn't been diffused all the way. It had been defused enough so that in 10 mins, instead of half the world blowing up, just the room we were in would explode. And I couldn't let that happen.
As I slowly limped towards the half solved jumble of wires, I clamped my mouth shut to avoid screaming. My insides felt like they were disintegrating, but not before waves of pain rolled through me, making me feel as though my misery would never end. But that didn't matter, I thought, as I got to my feet, and let out a small gasp. The wires were stuck, crackling with electricity! I wouldn't be able to solve the wires further. That meant in, I activated my internal timer, 8 minutes, 47 seconds, the room would explode. I noticed Bree standing to the side, panting slightly, while the Mad Mastermind still battled with Adam, his back to us. Seizing the opportunity , I limped over to her, before my body gave out, and a cry of pure pain escaped my lips. I collapsed into her arms, and she sat me back down.
"B-Bree..." I started, but Bree put a finger to my lips, silencing me. Nervously, she glanced back towards the Mad Mastermind and Adam, both of which hadn't noticed us.
"Chase! What were you thinking, standing up like that! You're supposed to rest, we can't lose you!" She said, genuinely worried.
"B-Bree listen." I tried again, and she leaned closer to hear my faint voice. "The room is going to e-explode."
So, Let me ease your worries. Chase will be okay...eventually. For now there isnt really much to say. Read the next two chapters, then post a review on how you're liking the story so far!
Later,
