Chapter Fourteen: The Great Escape
Without the influence of the red lights, what the Warlords hadn't taken of Clark's powers returned. He did feel physically a little stronger and his hearing and sight were about half of what they should be. He wasn't sure if his invulnerability had come back fully, but he wasn't going to test that unless he had to.
The force field was down, now, so he, Luke and the two Doctors rushed Gerod, overpowering and stunning him with his own weapon.
"She did it," said Doctor Eight.
"Yeah," said Clark.
"Now, we have to find her and the others," added Doctor Five.
"Knowing her, she'll find us," said Luke and the other guys agreed.
They set off through the ship, fighting their way to the extraction room. They didn't know, exactly, where it was, but, they figured, the more security was around, the closer they were getting.
By the time they'd found it, they'd procured weapons of all of them, even though the Doctors didn't really feel comfortable using them, but, desperate times called for desperate measures. They hadn't killed anyone, of course. They wouldn't do that, besides, they needed everyone alive to return their powers.
Outside the door to the extraction room, they counted to three, then forced it open and stunned everyone that got in their way.
"Adam! Data!" Luke called out when he noticed the Teleporter lying on the floor in a cell in the corner. Data was there next to him, stunning and dodging weapons fire, protecting him. Another man, one wearing a mask, was also unconscious, lying in the far corner of the cell. This had to be Erik.
When it was all over, the Warlords lay stunned on the floor and the guys ran over to Adam, Data and Erik.
"They are both still alive," said Data, "but Adam's vital signs are weakening. I suggest reversing the extraction process on him as soon as possible."
The computer on the end wall beeped, drawing the guys' attention. They looked and noticed a message on the screen. A message from Lisa, stating that she was on her way to them and asking Data to re-encrypt the computer system so the Warlords couldn't break it.
The android set to work and the other guys moved all the unconscious Warlords to the cell and started deciphering the extractor so they could reverse the process.
End chapter fourteen.
