Chapter Six: Bree's Nightmare

Bree felt extremely uneasy and she knew why. She was afraid of having nightmares. She didn't know what they were going to be like, but no doubt would they be terrifying.

Relax, Bree. She told herself. Your brothers will always be by your side and they won't let you down. Ever.

Only question was, will I let them down?

"Bree, did you hear me?"

Bree came out of her daze to see her brothers looking at her. She blushed.

"Uh…sorry." She replied. "I didn't. Could you repeat that?"

Chase rolled his eyes. "We're going to the movies. Do you want to come with?"

"Um…"

Leo grinned. "It's the newest Alien Gladiators movie! It'll be awesome!"

Adam shrugged. "Still could use Space Dog."

"Oh…um…I think I'll pass." Bree stated. "Yeah…uh…I already have plans."

Chase raised his eyebrow. "Plans? Since when did you have plans?"

"Right now. I gotta go text Caitlin…and stuff. Yeah! Those plans!" Bree chuckled, hoping the excuse was enough to convince her brothers.

Adam and Leo were convinced. Chase not so much.

"Please, Chase?" Bree pleaded with her brother. "I'll catch it some other time, okay?"

"We always go to the movies together. But you're too busy so I guess that's fine. Let's go, guys." Chase said. The three boys then left.

Bree sighed. I hope they aren't too upset with me for ditching them like that.

Really now? Why wouldn't they be upset?

I don't know…

You let them down, Bree. Again.

Again?

Don't you remember when you broke your chip and left your brothers going on a mission without you?

Oh…that.

Face it, Bree. You always let your brothers down.

No I don't!

Really now?

Yes, really.

Fine then.

"Fine!" Bree exclaimed. "I'll go to the movies with them!" She super sped out of the lab and tackled her brothers just as they were about to go out the door.

"Bree! What the heck?!" Chase yelled, trying to get out from under his sister.

Bree smiled and got off her brothers. "I've decided!"

"Decided what?" Leo asked.

"I'm coming to the movies with you guys! Duh!" Bree said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Oh okay then. Let's go." Chase stated. "With your super speed, we can get to the movie theater faster than walking there."

Bree nodded. She grabbed onto her brother's arms and super sped out the door.


"That was disappointing." Chase remarked as he and his siblings came out of the theater.

"Yeah. What a snooze-fest." Adam replied. "I fell asleep through the whole thing."

"That explains the drool on my shirt." Leo commented, looking down at his partially wet shirt. "I know I was awake during it."

Chase looked at his sister. "So, Bree, what did you think?"

Bree didn't respond.

"Bree? You okay?"

"No…"

"You're not? Bree, what's going on?" Chase began to get worried.

"No! Don't! Please!" Bree yelled.

"Bree! Snap out of it!" Leo exclaimed. It didn't help, however. Bree was still in a state of shock.

"Bree!" Chase caught his sister in his arms as she fell backwards.

"Chase! What's happening?" Adam asked, concerned. He didn't like that his sister had just fainted for no apparent reason.

Chase frowned and looked at his brothers. "She's having a nightmare." He said seriously.

Adam and Leo looked at each other.

This wasn't going to be good.


"Hello? Is anyone there?" Bree called out as she was floating in a blank space. She was met with silence. She was all alone in nothing, but emptiness.

"How did I get here?" She asked herself. "Where is here?"

Suddenly, Bree gasped as the space around her began to form into something. She now found herself inside a burning building. There was smoke and debris everywhere and the flames raged on. Yet none of this effected Bree. She was protected and safe in this destructive atmosphere.

"That's weird." She muttered. "I guess that means I can super speed out of here without getting burnt." Bree tried activating her bionics. Nothing happened. "What?! My bionics! What happened to them?" She looked down to see she had her mission suit on. "How the heck did I get in my mission suit?"

"How could you, Bree?" A voice said. Bree turned around startled.

"Where is that coming from? Who is that?" She asked, trying to spot the person who spoke. "Hello?"

"You happy now Bree? Because of you, Adam and I didn't make it out alive. You failed, Bree. You let us down."

"What…"

"Was becoming normal really worth it?"

Bree's eyes went wide as her two brothers walked out of the flames. They had their mission suits on and they were covered in soot from head to toe.

"Adam…Chase…I…"

"Face it, Bree. You made a horrible mistake breaking your chip. Now you have no bionics and you have no brothers either." Chase stated, glaring at his sister.

"Chase…no…I…" Bree was speechless. What was going on? This can't be happening. This wasn't real.

"You never are there when we need you, Bree. What's the point of a team if we aren't even together when we need each other the most?"

"No! That isn't true! Stop it!" Bree cried out, dropping down to her knees. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to! Honest! Just…come back to me! Please…"

Chase frowned. "Too late, Bree. It's too late. You can't change anything now. Your bionics are gone and so are we."

"No! You can't be gone! We're a team! What will I do without you?"

Chase turned away, his back to his sister. "I don't know…but it's none of our concern now."

Bree then watched as her brothers disappeared back into the flames. "No! Please don't go! I need you!" She tried getting up and running after them, but she found her legs wouldn't cooperate.

"No! I need to go after them! Adam! Chase!" Bree yelled as she struggled to move her legs. "No! I need you! Please!"

"Haha!"

Bree looked terrified as a black cloaked figure appeared before her. Its green eyes glistened as it laughed at the helpless girl.

"You! No! It can't be! Stop laughing!" Bree attempted to break free again, but couldn't. Her legs were stuck to the ground.

The figure continued to laugh mockingly at Bree.

"Stop!" She yelled. "Stop it!"

More laughing.

"STOP!"


"Wake up, Bree."

"Hmm…huh?" Bree opened her eyes to see her brother looking over her.

"Chase? What…"

"Relax. It's okay." Chase said. Bree nodded and smiled. She cautiously tried to stand up with her brother holding onto her.

"Bree, hold on. Let me help."

Bree shooed him away. "No, I got it." She grinned triumphantly as she succeeded in standing up without falling down flat on her face.

"What happened, Bree?" Leo asked.

"What do you mean?"

"Your nightmare."

"Oh…" Bree looked down. "I'd rather not talk about it."

"You can tell us, Bree." Adam stated. "We're here for you."

Bree sighed. "But I'm not."

"What?" Chase raised his eyebrow. "Bree…"

"I was in a burning building." She began explaining. "I had my mission suit on, but no bionics. Then you and Adam came out of the flames. You were also in your mission suits, but you were covered in soot. You then kept telling me how you didn't make it out alive on that mission and it was my fault." At this point, Bree was on the verge of tears. "Because I broke my chip and couldn't come along. I let you down. And there was nothing I could do to change things. You were both already gone. And I was alone. We weren't a team anymore. And then you left me. I tried running after you, but my legs were stuck on the floor. And that figure came and started laughing at me. Mocking me. I couldn't do anything about it. It was horrible."

Bree felt her brothers put their arms around her and hug her. She smiled.

"Thanks." She said in a barely audible voice.

"Bree, you didn't let us down." Chase said. "Never have, never will."

Bree frowned, looking down at her feet. "But I broke my chip. I couldn't come on the mission and you almost-"

"Mistakes happen, Bree. At least you learned your lesson." Chase replied.

"Yeah! And we're still here aren't we?" Adam added. "Chase and I aren't ghosts!" He said, cheerfully.

Bree laughed. Her brother can always brighten up a tense moment.

"Don't let these nightmares scare you, Bree." Leo stated. "Don't let them bring you down. Be strong."

Bree nodded. "I will. Thanks guys for the encouragement."

"Hey! Why don't we go for some ice cream? There's a shop a couple blocks from here." Leo said, a grin overtaking his face.

"I could go for some ice cream. You Bree?" Chase glanced at his sister. She nodded.

"Sure."

"Ooh! I want chocolate with extra sprinkles!" Adam exclaimed, his hand up in the air.

"Come on then! Let's go! I hear they have a banana split in a huge waffle bowl!" Leo began jumping up and down like a little kid.

"I'll catch up with you three soon. I just want to stand here and enjoy the scenery for a little bit." Bree replied.

"We'll save some ice cream for you, Bree!" Adam yelled as he grabbed onto Leo and Chase and dragged them toward the ice cream shop despite their protests to let them go.

Bree shook her head. "Oh Adam…"

It's sure nice to have brothers who care, isn't it?

Yeah. It is.

Too bad you're being duped.

What?

They're playing you, Bree. Do you think they actually meant it when they said you never let them down?

Yes! I do actually think they meant it! Chase would never lie! Neither would Adam and Leo!

Hmm…I beg to differ.

Stop! Enough with trying to control me! I am not that naïve!

You say you aren't, but are you?

You're just spewing out more lies!

Am I? What if it is the truth? I know more than you do, Bree.

No. No you don't. And I won't give in. I will not!

We'll see about that, Bree. We'll see…

"Ugh! Oh no!" Bree yelled as she held onto her head. Her eyes were flashing green. On and off. On and off.

Oblivious to Bree, her brother, Chase, had decided to come back to check up on her. And he had seen everything that was happening.

"Bree!" He yelled, running over. "Fight back! You have to fight back!"

"That's what I'm trying!" Bree exclaimed. She finally managed to succeed as her eyes were no longer changing colors and she had regained full control. There was no more struggling.

She sighed. "That was…exhausting."

Chase frowned. "Bree, I think I've solved the mystery of these nightmares."

"Yeah?"

"You're not going to like this, but…" He paused. "It's all because of the Triton App. It's trying to take us over…again."

Bree's eyes widened. "That can't be…no…wait…that makes sense. I've been having these debates with myself inside my head and then the nightmare…I get it now."

Chase nodded. "Same with me! Bree, it's trying to leave us vulnerable. We can't give in to its tricks. We just can't."

"I know…" Bree said. "But it's tough."

"It may be tough, but we're tougher. We can win the battle, Bree. We'll stop it so it never comes back ever again." Chase stated. Bree smiled.

"Yes, we can win." She said confidently.

Chase then put his hand out and two ice cream cones came flying over. Bree gasped and started laughing. "Oh, Chase!"

"Comes in handy, doesn't it?" He asked, pulling two spoons out from his pocket and handing one to Bree.

"Yeah, sure does." She agreed, sitting on a bench. Her brother sat next to her and both siblings ate their ice cream while playing ISpy.

"I spy something nerdy." Bree said. "Oh wait, that's you."

Chase rolled his eyes. "Funny, Bree. You know what I spy?"

"What?"

"Ice cream on your shirt." He replied, noticing the chocolate smudge on his sister's shirt.

Bree looked down and groaned. "I just got this!"

Chase laughed. "Too bad you don't have the bionic ability of making stains disappear."

Bree smirked and punched her brother in the arm. "Haha! Funny! At least I don't have ice cream on my nose."

"What?"

"You have ice cream on your nose." Bree stated. "Oh wait. My bad. It's actually a ladybug."

"A ladybug? What?!" Chase then jumped up, his arms failing in all directions. "Get it off! Get it off!"

Bree then started laughing hysterically. Chase looked at her confused. "What's so funny?! Why are you laughing?!"

"Because you looked so ridiculous! There's no ladybug on your nose."

Chase frowned. "You tricked me!"

"All in good fun!" Bree said, smiling innocently.

Chase crossed his arms and pouted like a little kid. "Not fun!" He mumbled.


A cloud of black smoke flew into the room and formed into a girl. She gasped as she fell down, eventually stopping in mid-air. She looked to see her brother was using his molecularkinesis. She smiled.

"Thanks."

He nodded, moving her so her feet were on the ground.

"What's up with you? Usually you're able to land no problem." He said.

"I'm slightly weak right now." The girl stated. "She was a tough one to try to control."

The boy's expression turned angry. "Did you not listen to my plan? I said we were going to take control of them once we are able to break through into their universe!"

The girl blushed. "Sorry, Chase. I kind of forgot that plan."

Chase sighed. "We still don't have enough power to go into their world. We're stuck in this nightmare world until then."

"So how are we going to get in?" The girl asked.

Chase smirked. "Once Adam begins his haunting, we'll have enough power to be able to."

"What about you? What are you going to do with him?"

Chase looked at the girl. "Give him a nightmare he'll never forget." He replied with an evil laugh.

The girl grinned and laughed along with her brother. Soon they will take full control and there was nothing those three bionics could do about it.
