Jealousy Chapter Ten

Hello there. I know the chapters are short, but I'm working on getting out of writer's block. This chapter isn't very interesting in my opinion, but at least I updated!

DISCLAIMER: Do I even have to say it? We all know HE IS NOT MINE! Except in my dreams….

He had to save the one he loved. He promised himself.

He had to come up with a plan, and fast. They were only advancing. Then, the artillery arrived. Libby burst through the doorway, with Sheen AND Carl! How she got Carl so fast was a mystery, when he wasn't even in the mansion to begin with, but that was something to figure out later. Jimmy noticed that Libby had even brought the Hypno Ray!

She immediately ran to a group of about four ninjas, aimed the Hypno Ray, and shot. "You think you're…. uh… doors!" she said off of the top of her head. Doors? Well, it did come as an advantage since they immediately froze in place. Four down, twenty-something to go. Great odds, huh?

"Sheen, Carl. Get over here!" I yelled to them. They maneuvered around the ninjas and Eustace himself and ran to my side. "Please watch Cindy. Try to get her to wake up. Don't let anything happen to her, okay?" They nodded. I left them with her and ran over to Goddard. If he could get him to reactivate, then the gang would be able to escape easily. Libby was busy getting rid of as many ninjas as she could, Carl and Sheen were trying to get Cindy to wake up, and Jimmy was tinkering busily with Goddard when he noticed what had happened to his robotic companion. He was out of batteries. Wow. That wasn't difficult to notice, and yet it took him this long. He needed to find something, and fast.

Libby had hypnotized another two ninjas to think that they were sprinklers when Yoo Yee, once completely gaining consciousness, had kicked the Hypno Ray out of Libby's hands. It crashed into the wall, breaking into pieces. Libby ran over to Cindy frantically, and assisted in the attempt to help her wake up.

Jimmy then realized something. The Hypno Ray used the same kind of batteries as Goddard! Now that the Hypno Ray was destroyed, he could use the batteries in Goddard. He ran over, taking the lifeless robotic dog along, and got the batteries from the broken Ray. He quickly put them into Goddard, and he barked immediately to life.

"Goddard! Keep the Eustace, Yoo Yee, and the ninjas busy until I can get everyone out of here," he said to the dog. Goddard barked in agreement before running off to keep them distracted. Jimmy ran over to his four friends.

"Goddard's going to keep them busy while we get out of here. Libby, you and Sheen go first. I'll take Cindy, and Carl can follow," he said, they all nodded before Libby and Sheen led the way.

Jimmy picked up the still unconscious Cindy and ran out of the door as fast as he could. Carl brought up the rear, running as fast as his short legs could take him. They were outside the doors, when they could hear Eustace's voice from the second floor, "You twit! James and his friends are getting away! Downstairs, now! Leave the dog!"

With that Goddard flew out of the window, with minimal damage, over to the gang. They could hear chaos approaching as Eustace, Yoo Yee, and a few ninjas descending down the stairway. They had very little time before they would reach the front doors.

Libby and Sheen were frantically rushing to the gates, Carl was now ahead of Jimmy and Cindy, with Goddard close behind. Jimmy got slower and slower, as the extra weight was dragging him down. Soon the others were much further ahead, and Jimmy was panting to attempt to keep up with his comrades.

Libby noticed that Jimmy had fallen behind, and rushed back to help.

"Do you want me to carry her?" she asked, out of breath.

"No," Jimmy said, "The hovercar is right outside the gates. There's not much gas left, but I think we can make it. Just go get it and bring it back here. And hurry!"

She sped out the gates as fast as she could, Sheen following, and Carl staying back with Jimmy and Cindy. The villains were quickly approaching, and were only a few strides away at the this point. A metallic whir was heard as Libby landed the hovercar a few feet away from where Jimmy, Carl, and Cindy were.

Jimmy immediately picked up Cindy and put her gently but hurriedly into the hovercar. They all got in and flew away. Sheen was watching the villains shrink in the distance as they looked up towards the sky, shouting angrily.

"Whew! Glad that's over! Now let's go get some ice cream!" Sheen yelled, a goofy smile upon his face. Jimmy, Carl, and Libby gave him a strange look.

"Uh… Sheen? Cindy's not even conscious!" Libby shouted. Sheen looked bewildered and added, "Well then let's wake her up!"

Another strange look. "Sheen, how do you propose we do that?" Jimmy queried the hyperactive boy.

"I don't know. Anything so we can get some food."

"You're hopeless," Libby added, shaking her head.

They continued to fly back from town in silence, except for Carl's constant annoying humming. It sounded faintly like his spy theme song. (shudder OO) The humming grew consistently louder until Sheen, Libby, and Jimmy shouted, "Shut up!" Then came complete silence.

Suddenly, everyone gasped in surprise, for a faint voice rung out from the previously unconscious Cindy Vortex.

Yes, still short. I'm suffering dreadful writers block. I'm still trying to figure out how to continue the story without it being completely horrible. Have any ideas? Please tell me any of them. Anyways, hope it was at least okay, and please review.
