Chapter Eight: Chase's Nightmare

"Adam! Come here!" A voice yelled into the air. Immediately, a cloud of smoke appeared, forming into a boy.

"Yes, Chase?"

Chase smiled. "It's almost time. Go get Bree."

Adam nodded and ran off, coming back with the said girl.

"Hey! What about me?!"

Chase sighed. "And Marcus."

The android then came out, smiling gleefully.

"So, why are we all here again?" Bree asked in a bored tone.

"To take over Adam, Bree, and Chase once and for all." Chase said with an evil grin.

"Aren't we Adam, Bree, and Chase?" Adam asked, clueless.

Chase rubbed his temples, clearly annoyed. "Adam…we've been over this. We're not THEM. We're the EVIL versions of them. Controlled by the TRITON APP."

"Oh…aren't we the Triton App?"

Chase groaned. "Forget it."

"Can we move along now? I'm late for a very important date." Bree stated.

"You're going on a date with a boy?" Marcus asked. "Is that even possible?"

Bree frowned. "No…I'm going to get a manicure and I'm late for my appointment."

Marcus rolled his eyes. "Girls…"

"Enough!" Chase exclaimed. "Focus people! We have more important matters than manicures and boys."

"I want a manicure…" Adam mumbled sadly.

"Incompetent lugnuts." Chase grumbled.

"Hey! I am not a lugnut!" Marcus yelled, offended.

"I've had enough of this unnecessary banter. You're all dismissed. Meanwhile, I'm going to go visit an old friend." Chase smirked as he disappeared into a cloud of smoke.


"We're playing Candy Land?" Bree asked. "Isn't that like for five year olds?"

"No!" Adam exclaimed. "It says four and up on the box. " He pointed out.

Bree rolled her eyes. "Yes, Adam, I see that."

"Look, Adam really wants to play this game, so we'll play it for him." Leo said. "Okay, which color gingerbread man does everyone want to be?"

"I'll take red." Bree stated.

"I'll be blue." Chase replied.

"Ooh! Ooh! I want green!" Adam grabbed the green gingerbread man.

"I guess I'm yellow then." Leo picked up the yellow gingerbread man.

Five rounds of Candy Land later and Bree had won every one.

"Huh. I guess Candy Land isn't for five year olds." She remarked, grinning.

"Ugh…how come she won every time? She cheated!" Leo pointed an accusing finger at this sister.

"It's quite impossible to cheat at this game." Chase stated.

"I want to go find a forest made out of candy canes!" Adam blurted out.

"Adam, there is no such thing." Chase told his brother.

"Well then why is there one in this game?" Adam asked.

"Because it's Candy Land…and it isn't real. It's just a game." Leo said.

"Hey Chase, where are you going?" Bree asked, seeing her brother get up.

"I think I left my phone down in the lab. I'll be right back." He said, walking off.


Down in the lab, Chase was searching for his phone.

"I swear it's somewhere in here." He muttered, looking under Leo's Mission Specialist desk and then around the capsules.

"Oh here it is!" Chase spotted his phone on the cyber desk. He then put it in his pocket.

Chase…

"Huh?!" Chase turned around startled. "Who is that?"

Chase…

"What?"

It's me…

"You…wait you!" Chase realized he was hearing the voice inside his head. "Ugh…what do you want?" He asked.

Oh nothing. Just you and your siblings.

"No way! You're not getting us! We are not afraid of you!"

How about now?

"Huh?! What the?!"

Chase gasped as the lab suddenly turned into the tunnel. He was running through it again, but this time he wasn't being chased by the figure. He was actually going to make it to the light. The end.

The end of it all. He thought.

Chase ran into the light and shielded his eyes from the brightness of it. He then opened them up to see he was back in the living room where Adam, Bree, and Leo were sitting around waiting.

"Chase is the worst Mission Leader ever. I say we replace him." Bree stated.

"With who?" Adam asked.

Bree pointed at her brother. "With Leo, of course!"

Chase's eyes widened.

Leo grinned. "Thanks Bree! I'd make a pretty awesome Mission Leader, wouldn't I?"

Bree scoffed. "Better than Chase."

"At least you're stronger than Chase. His puny doll-like body can't handle anything." Adam commented.

Bree laughed. "Yeah! He's so weak!"

"He thinks he's all that when he really isn't." Leo replied.

Adam and Bree nodded.

"We deserve a better Mission Leader and a better brother." Bree said.

Chase gasped. Was that really what his siblings thought?

"So, Chase, what do you think now?" The figure asked, appearing next to Chase.

"I think…"

"You can be so much more, Chase. Why not go for it? Obviously, your siblings don't see your potential."

"I think…"

"Who needs them anyways? You're better off without them. You can go solo and still be Mission Leader."

"I think…"

"Isn't that what you want, Chase? To be Mission Leader and rise above everybody else? You can be at the top of the world! If only you just let it happen…"

"I think…"

"No more will you be flashglue. You'll finally get the recognition you deserve. Don't you want that?"

"I think…you're wrong!" Chase turned to face the figure. "Nice try, but you can't trick me! This is just another nightmare! This isn't real at all! My siblings don't say those things behind my back. They say it to my face, but so what? We're a team and we'll always be a team! No matter what! You can't destroy that!"

The figure started laughing. Chase looked confused. "What? What's so funny?!"

"You have no idea who you're talking to, do you?" The figure asked.

Chase frowned. "No…but I will be able to defeat you!"

Suddenly, the atmosphere changed to that of the lab. Chase was back in reality, but so was the figure.

"How are you even here?" He asked shocked. "I thought…I thought you were only in my nightmares!"

The figure smirked. "Not anymore." Chase watched as the figure took off its cloak, revealing its true identity.

"No…way…"

"Hello Chase. Anything seem familiar to you?"

"You're me!"

"Well, the evil version controlled by the Triton App." Evil Chase replied.

"I knew it was the Triton App!" Chase exclaimed.

"And now it's time to control you. Say good-bye, Chase!" Evil Chase then used his molecularkinesis and Chase felt himself rise into the air.

Evil Chase grinned as he was about to take over, but then was interrupted by the sound of someone coming into the lab.

"Chase!"

End of Chapter Eight.

Ooh…who came into the lab? Well, it's pretty obvious who did, but whatever. :P

Will Chase be saved? Or will the Triton App control him once again? You'll just have to wait to find out...

And that was Chapter Eight: Chase's Nightmare! See you readers tomorrow for Chapter Nine: The Final Nightmare!
