Well, it's official, I'm evil. Guess the cliffhanger there really tortured you didn't it? Well the wait is over and here is it, Chapter Nine.
Disclaimer: I...Oh my, Douglas what are you doing here?! What. *Looking at him suspiciously* Come on, I'm not evil any more. Why should I believe you? Alright then, I'll do the disclaimer for you, PBL doesn't own Lab Rats, just the plot. I still don't trust you. OH COME ON! :(
Chapter 9
The loud explosion was clearly heard. "What was that?" Leo asked. No one had an answer to his question. "We have to go back in there" Leo urged. "We can't do that, Bree is still unconscious and Mr. Davenport is wounded" Adam told him. "No Leo's right. Leo, go in there and get Chase. Adam and I will pull the van up" Mr. Davenport said. "Big D are you sure?" Leo asked. "Go Leo" Mr. Davenport said. Leo nodded and hurried towards the entrance of the lair.
After watching his family leave, Chase looked at Marcus. Both Marcus and Chase looked at each other with caution. Marcus took another look at Douglas lying on the cement. A plasma grenade began growing in his hands. Chase made a force field ball. Marcus' eyes glowed and he threw the ball at Chase, while Chase threw his force field. The plasma grenade and force field ball, collided with each other. Blinding light came from the collision followed by the sound of an explosion. Chase and Marcus were both thrown to the wall. Marcus, stayed down, unmoving. Chase could only hear an endless ringing noise, and he tasted iron in his mouth. Chase opened his eyes, and everything was just blurry. But, he could clearly see the red words error on the computer screen. Chase tried to get up, but pain erupted through his side. The ringing sound in his ear got louder, and Chase blacked out.
Douglas watched as Chase and Marcus formed their weapons. The plasma grenade and force field collided, causing a blinding light. Douglas used his arm to shield himself. After the explosion had passed, Douglas opened his eyes to see the two boys against the wall. Marcus on one side, Chase on the other. From his position, he caught sight of the computer screen, the word error flashed on it... He looked at Chase, trying to get up, but he fell to his knees and passed out. Suddenly, he saw that Leo running back into his lair. "Chase" he said worriedly and knelt down next to him. Chase coughed slightly. Leo, put Chase's arm over his shoulder and through a painstaking slow process, helped him to his feet. The two walked out of the lair. How could he have let them get away again? Douglas pushed himself off the ground and stood up. Everything hurt. Douglas managed to slowly walk to the computer and collapse on the chair. Looking closely at the computer screen, Douglas saw that the virus was being shut down. He was not going to start from scratch once again... No, he wasn't going to let that happen. Douglas began typing codes. After finishing, he pressed a button...
"Come on Chase, we're almost to the van" Leo said reassuringly, but Chase didn't answer. Mr. Davenport then ran up to the two. "Big D what are you doing here, you're injured" Leo said. "It's alright, I bandaged it, let me help you" Mr. Davenport said and put Chase's other arm over his shoulder. The two quickly made it to the van. "Drive?" Adam asked from the driver's seat. "Leo, sit with Bree over here." Mr. Davenport said, then he put Chase in another seat behind Leo, then he put an oxygen mask on Chase. "Why does he need that" Leo asks fearfully. Mr. Davenport didn't answer. Bree then stirred besides Leo. Bree opened her eyes, she then held her head. "Bree, you're awake" Leo said happily. "My head hurts" Bree commented while, Leo brought her into a hug. Adam continued to drive and in no time, the five made it home. "How, are we going to explain this to my mom" Leo asked to no one in particular. Mr. Davenport looked down at Chase. "Adam, take Leo and Bree inside, then come back outside to help me with Chase" Mr. Davenport told Adam. Adam nodded and hopped out of the van, the he pulled the door open and Leo and Bree obediently stepped out. Bree then turned to look at Mr. Davenport, "What's going to happen to Chase" Bree asked. "I don't know" Mr. Davenport replied before, Adam pushed the two towards the door.
Tasha waited at the couch, unable to eat her dinner, knowing that her family was in danger. The door flung open and Tasha quickly got up. Relief flooded through her when she saw Leo and Bree step through the doorway. "Mom" Leo said and ran to hug her. "I was so worried" Tasha said. "Bree, you're alright right?" Tasha said and walked up to Bree. Bree nodded. The next thing she saw, was Adam running in, carrying Chase, with Davenport close behind. "Donald" Tasha said and grabbed his arm as he walked pass her. "Tasha" Mr. Davenport said and brought her into a hug. "What happened" Tasha asked. "I don't have time to explain" Mr. Davenport said quickly and ran down to the lab after Adam.
Adam returned to the living a few minutes later and slumped onto the couch next to Leo. The air held an intense silence. "Do you think Chase will be okay?" Leo said. "He's going to be fine" Tasha told Leo, her voice unconvincing. Bree leaned into Adam, and held her. Tears began falling as Bree said quietly "I don't want him to die". "Bree, he's not going to die." Adam said. After a few more long, endless minutes, Mr. Davenport came into the living room. The four looked at him expectantly. Mr. Davenport looked at the four and said, "Chase will be alright". Everyone sighed in relief.
Douglas looked at the computer screen. "Why isn't it working" Douglas mumbled.
What isn't working? Til next time, PBL.
