Chapter 11 is here! Sorry it took so long! Anyways, last time, Argis was found crying next to a grave marker for her parents. During this time, it was revealed that Saige had hired Argis to kill the others. The 8 of them teamed up and headed out to find Saige, despite Jonathan's reluctance to team up. This takes place later that day. On with the chapter!
Chapter 10: The Chaotic Comeback
*Dina's POV*
We left the Petrified Forest. Argis was now on our side. We decided to go to Selena's house because if Saige was truly behind this, it wouldn't be long before something happened to us, or even Argis.
Once we got there, we decided to make a plan.
"Running around without a plan won't help much, and charging into her base when we find it is risky." I said.
"I already know where she is." Argis said. "But like Dina said, going in without a plan is dangerous."
"So what should we do, digadig?" Pauleen asked.
"Argis, do you think you could maybe give us a layout of the base?" I asked. "Maybe a sketch or something?"
"I have something better." She said. She pulled a folded piece of paper out of the inside pocket of her jacket, along with a small machine. "A map of the base and a holographic map to locate the base itself. Both of these are stolen items, just so you know. Only elite warriors and scouts get these. I am neither of the above. I am a high-level warrior, but not at the elite level."
"Nice!" Todd shouted in excitement.
"Getting in isn't hard, but getting past all of the security and reaching Saige's room will be the hard part." Argis said. She unfolded the map.
She labeled all of the areas we would have to avoid to stay safe, but some of them were impossible to avoid.
"This won't be easy." Rupert said.
"We'll have to figure it out." I said. "Are there any places that require security passes or ID to get past?"
"Only two, but both are along our route." She said. "One is just past the entrance. I can get clearance for that one, but the other is for Saige's room, which even I don't have clearance to."
"I have an idea." I said.
"Using your powers to disable or hack the system will set off alarms and we'll have the whole base against us." Argis said.
"Crap." I said. "What about if I opened it, then used my powers to seal it shut behind us? It would protect us from the soldiers."
"I doubt it would work." She said. "Our best chance would be to take out a high-level officer and steal their pass, but that won't be easy, either."
"Where can we find an officer of that level?" Jonathan asked.
"If they're not in a meeting with Saige, they'll be in their rooms, but that's the most heavily guarded area in the base." Argis explained. "If they are in a meeting, we're screwed. They'll be in Saige's room. They don't take their weapons in during meetings, but we can't get in using that idea, either."
"What about if the five of us with the strength boosts break down the door and take down the unarmed soldiers then?" I suggested.
"There's a possibility that that would work, but if the soldiers are not in the meeting, don't try it." Argis said.
"Okay! now that we have a plan, let's go!" I said.
"Yeah!" Todd shouted.
"Let's do this, digadig!" Pauleen shouted.
"It's payback time!" Selena said.
"Yeah! Let's go!" Banette shouted.
"It's time to end this!" Jonathan said.
"We'll show that creep the true power of the Super Patrol Team!" Rupert shouted.
"Let's stop her once and for all!" Argis shouted in excitement.
"I think that's the first time I've seen you in a good mood." I said jokingly. "Anyways, let's get going!"
We left the house, using the tracker to find the base. It showed that it was in a secret passageway in the Jungle Labyrinth. We got to the entrance, but the tracker suddenly shut off.
"Is the battery dead or something?" Rupert asked.
"No." Argis replied. "They're jamming it. They knew we were coming."
"How?" I asked.
"I don't know." She replied. "But don't be surprised if a bunch of soldiers suddenly jump out at us. The signal was coming from just outside the Stone Pyramid. Let's go, but watch out."
We walked towards the Stone Pyramid, but as soon as we entered the third area of the forest, I heard a noise and saw something moving in the trees.
"Look out!" Todd shouted. He ran towards me and shoved me out of the way just as a throwing knife flew past my head. Luckily, it missed us both, but it was a close call.
"Who are you?!" I shouted at the figure. The figure turned and ran, but Pauleen and I followed it.
Since we were faster, we managed to catch up with the person. It was a girl that looked very familiar.
Then I realized who it was.
"Dammit, Saige!" I shouted.
She chuckled and turned into her dinaurian form.
"You managed to catch me, but you can't beat me!" she said.
She put her hands together in front of her. There was a purple glow between then. She spread her hands apart, revealing a glowing purple sword floating in the air in front of her. She grabbed the handle and pointed the sword at me.
"This is my chaotic katana. It is much more powerful than your lightning sword." She said. "Let's see if you can even stop it!"
She stepped towards me and swung the blade. I ducked under it, then summoned my own chaotic sword and blocked the next swing. Saige looked slightly impressed.
"Congratulations. Now die!" she shouted. She swung again, but I kept blocking the swings.
Then I heard something behind me. I knew the others had finally caught up. There wasn't much that they could do, though. I would be lucky if Argis could even do anything.
"Stay back!" I shouted. "This is my fight!"
I created a second sword, much to Saige's surprise. I swung both swords, but she blocked them both. While our swords were locked together, I kicked Saige in the shin with my robotic leg. She almost collapsed, but she caught herself just in time to dodge my next swing.
She swung her sword with a scream, missing me by a lot.
But when she did, a wave of energy was released from her sword. It hit me, blowing me back. It also took a lot of my energy away. My power started to take over once again, but I fought it. I had full control over the power now.
I slashed several times at Saige, but she kept dodging. She swung at me and hit, but her sword didn't pierce me or shatter. It just stopped on impact and bounced back.
"How did you-?" she started. I responded by slashing at her shoulder and cutting into it. She screamed in pain, but still had the strength to block another swing.
"Never let your guard down." I said.
She slashed again, but this time, I blocked it with my hand and stabbed at her. She tried to duck, but I stabbed the same shoulder again, this time disabling her arm.
It was the one holding the sword.
"Damn you…" she said. She kicked me in the stomach.
"What happened to 'never let your guard down?'" she said.
"Shut up!" I said. I charged again, but I stopped when I noticed that she was reaching into her pocket.
"Not again…" I said, getting annoyed. She pulled a gun out of her pocket. "I knew it…" I said.
I shocked her with my electric powers, making her drop the gun. Then I used my powers like a magnet to pull the gun to me.
"Now what are you going to do?" I asked, taunting her.
"This!" she shouted. She teleported behind me and kicked me in the back, knocking me down. I tumbled into a tree and was knocked out.
And that's the end of chapter 11! I'll work on the next chapter as soon as I get a chance. Keep reading and reviewing!
