Ch.9: Black Cat Means Bad Luck
Jeremie was still typing away at the supercomputer when Ulrich thought he heard something. Sure enough it was the sound of the elevator coming down fast.
"Jeremie, hurry up!" shouted Ulrich "I think you know who is coming in for a visit,"
No sooner had Ulrich spoke that the doors to the elevator opened, revealing a darkened Odd, his gleaming yellow eyes went straight to Ulrich. Ulrich braced himself for a fight and pounced at Odd, but Odd proved to be faster. Before you could even blink Odd punched Ulrich right in the stomach and sent him hurtling into a wall, landing the boy unconious.
Laughing, Odd turned to Jeremie. Jeremie typed in a few more keys and turned to face Odd. Those glowing cat-like eyes of Odd's were enough to creep Jeremie out, and for a devestating effect the red symbol on Odd's shirt also began to glow.
"What do you want Odd?" said Jeremie, a little pissed.
"Simple enough Einstien" said Odd " I came here to do a job, and I plan to finish it."
"Those black laser's of Xana's, I know she has blueprints for them" Odd continued stepping closer " she turned me evil, but was afraid I'd go out of control, well she was right!"
With that Odd pounced Jeremie and the so called genius unconious. Odd went to the supercomputer and typed in a few keys, studing what Jeremie had been working on. The blueprints for the black laser's were there just like Odd thought. But, ah what's this...an antidote?
After pondering a bit, Odd typed in a few more keys, and the blueprints to the black laser's were lost forever. Odd downloaded the antidote, Jeremie had not yet tested, and in a second Odd was consumed by a bright purple glow. When Ulrich just started to regain conious, he witnessed seeing Odd disappear.
Then Ulrich noticed Jeremie lying on the floor as well, and started shaking the genius awake. Jeremie groaned a reluctant reply.
"Where's Odd?" he asked.
"He disapppeared" said Ulrich "I don't know where, but he's gone, for now,"
Jeremie went to the computer to see the antidote, plus the blueprint's of Xana's black laser's were gone.
"He deleted everything" said Jeremie "there's no way to get him back now. The world is doomed,"
