Ch 14. A Talking Dog
A tidal wave of pain rushed through my head. It banged like a bongo and the pain increased. A skinny ray of light penetrated the dark shield that protected my eyes from the stinging rays of the light.
"Ugh…ugh…huh?" My eyes, exhausted as my whole self-being was screaming in pain, slowly opened.
"Ah!" I covered my eyes with my right arm to block out the light. I felt my butt brushing against something like it a soft, plush cloud and my back cracked as I started to sit up.
I lowered my arm and squinted my eyes in the light. As my vision started clearing, so did my mind as it processed where I was. "What in the—?" I felt my mouth changing into an "O" as I saw it. Or really, as I saw them.
The two shadow figures from before in Coruscant by the docks, they leaned over me and I was able to get a closer look at them. First off, the one on my right…was a dog. He was a mixed-breed, an anthropomorphic dog so to speak. "D-Du-Dukey?"
"Uh Johnny? How does she know my name?" I groaned as my head banged in pain quickly. I looked over to my left and saw a boy, an eleven year old boy with blonde orange spiky hair with red highlights on the tips, hence "the kid with the flaming hair" since his hair did look like it was on fire, who wore baggy green cargo pants, a black short sleeved shirt with a trefoil symbol on it under a blue short sleeved dress shirt, black high top sneakers with white laces, and a watch on his wrist.
"J-John-Johnny." Dukey paled when I spoke his owner's name. "And how does she know your name?!" He was being frantic over this as he paced back and forth all over the room. I sat up when my eyes became sharp. We were in a bedroom, and taking in all the toys, video game cases, and dirty laundry on the floor, my guess was that it was Johnny's room.
"This is not good! This is so not good! We have to come clean! She may even know all about us, our lives, everything! What if…what if she's an ALIEN?! I'm going to freak out now." That's when Dukey started screaming like he was on fire and started running all over the room. I started to panic as my breathing grew faster, sweat showing on my face and neck.
"W-Where am I? How did I get here? Why did you bring me here?!" The panic in my voice made Dukey scream louder. It also made me panic even more. I don't know why I was so scared all of a sudden. But I grew hotter and more frantic, almost as much as Dukey. His screaming wasn't helping the situation.
And Johnny, he looked mad; beyond mad actually, that Dukey was making his mess of a room even messier than before. "Alright, you two! THAT'S ENOUGH!" He walked up to Dukey and yanked him off the floor by his hairy neck, his legs hanging and swaying slowly. Dukey stopped screaming but he still looked upset.
"Why am I here? Why did you bring me here?" Johnny ignored me.
"Don't worry about it, dude. All we have to do is keep her in my room…or somewhere else because I don't want a girl spreading her cooties on my stuff!" I glared and growled at him. He may be cute for a little guy, but this is Johnny Test after all, and he is anything but good and sweet.
"Why am I here?!" I asked again, only more angrier. But Johnny ignored me again; his main focus was on his pet/best friend.
"She has to stay hidden, at least long enough before Mom and Dad come back and find her. Then, they'll think we're"together" and then Dad will make me sit down and listen to him talk about"the talk" with the birds and the bees and then I'll NEVER get to live it down, NEVER!"
Johnny rambled on and on while I slowly swung my legs over the side of the bed. I planted both my feet on the ground and pushed my butt off the bed. But then, I started swaying and my legs were wobbly in the knees, along with my banging head so I touched my forehead.
But only until I shrieked as another pain came out. I pulled my hand back when I found myself in front of a mirror and my eyes scanned up to my forehead. I gasped at the sight. There was a HUGE bruise on it, turning purple, black and blue, and it was the size of a potato or a football, I wasn't sure.
But I was sure on one thing. I bet the two shadow figures back at the docks were these two…and I was going to get to the bottom of it, even if it means I have to force the answers out of them.
"Hey! Where do you think you're going?" Johnny asked me, trying to calm his pal down. But right now, being calm was impossible for me. I felt myself getting hotter when my eyes narrowed at the mirror, as if staring right at it could solve all my problems. Partially, it did.
Suddenly, my eyes were glowing golden, causing the mirror to crack under the immense power of the Force. "AH! Johnny, she's-she's a—" They both shrieked at the same time, "AN ALIEN!" I crocked my head over to where they were, petrified under my steamy stare.
"I'm NOT an alien! But I'll be much worse than that if you don't start explaining yourselves!" I moved toward them and Johnny walked the other way, hitting the window. He looked scared but he sounded kind of brave, "I'll never tell you!"
That's when we heard a loud, whiney voice from outside the house. "Johnny Test, I demand that you let me see my dear Susan AT ONCE!" I knew whose voice that belonged to, so in utter annoyance, I yanked the window open and put my palm out to send a Force wave at what I guessed was his car. BOOM! "OOW!"
I turned back to see Johnny's face pale. "Okay, I'll come clean." My smirk was enough to send chills down both their spines.
Meanwhile, in the lab of twins Susan and Mary Test, they were checking to see if all their inventions were working right. And if they were present and accounted for. Well, almost all of them were there…except…
"Turbo Action Backpack?"
"Check!"
"Turbo Time Rewinder?"
"Check!"
"Sonic Super Scooter?"
"Check-wait a minute!" Mary Test searched for the scooter with her eyes but among the hundreds or so inventions the twin geniuses created, the scooter wasn't among them. "It isn't here!"
"What? It has to be there. If not, then, who could have taken it?" Susan Test asked. They both looked at each other before a DING! went off in both their heads.
"JOHNNY!"
Then, at just that right moment, a huge wave of bangs, crashes, and booms erupted in the hallway outside the lab door. Three punches were evident as someone punched through the iron steel door before it opened and out of it came said boy and dog, collapsing on the floor. "Johnny?! Dukey?! What is going on?" Both twins exclaimed, shocked.
As if on cue, a tall shadow figure was in the doorway, and when it walked out, the light in the room revealed it to be…me. "What's going on is that your brother and his mutt sidekick brought me here for who knows what reason! Now, either you take me back or else we're going to have ourselves a problem here," I spoke and I quivered in my knees myself when there were traces of anger in the way I spoke. It almost reminded me of the way Anakin speaks when he gets angry, steamed, or plain out frustrated, or all of the above. My point of getting back to him and as soon as possible was my one objective, and nothing, not even a crazy little kid and his dog was going to get in my way.
"Johnny! What did you do now?!" Susan demanded, upset at this and probably at the loss of the scooter. "And what did you do with the Sonic Super Scooter?!" Mary demanded, upset as well.
"He did it!" Dukey cried out in fear as I glared at them both, hiding behind Johnny.
"Wait, do you mean Scoots?" They both nodded in unison. Johnny pondered while tapping his chin, a thinking face plastered on, "Scoots…Scoots…Scoots…hmm…no. Besides, the last time I checked, I didn't want to ride it in the first place, since it made us the most wanted fugitives in Porkbelly!"
"Ugh, whatever! Point being, it's gone! And you're the only one we suspect to have taken it." Susan said.
Johnny faked gasped and placed a hand over his heart, "You think that I took it? Me, your little brother, of all people?! Oh, how could you put the blame on little old me?! I thought we had…something special," he wiped away an invisible tear, "I thought…we finally looked past our flaws and bad moments…and looked on the good times alone!"
He sniffled and wailed over it, like the actor he was whenever he tries to buy out of the trouble he always causes. "But, I guess some things will never change, like the misconception you two over the bundle of hope and joy that is your own flesh and blood! So be it, then!" He cried in Dukey's shoulder and he awkwardly patted his back.
I walked up next to the twins, asking, "Is he always like this?"
"Pretty much."
A few minutes later…
While Susan and Mary scanned me to make sure I was okay (and to see where the heck I came from) with this new high tech machine that looked like the size of a postal mailbox with different colored buttons on the front, with tubes and various instruments attached to its sides, I sat on an examination table and got a good look at them.
They were both thirteen and had long, red hair with traditional lab coats on but Susan had blue eyes like Johnny while Mary had teal eyes. Susan wore a black skirt, knee-high socks, a pair of Mary Janes, and a blue shirt depicting a star. Her hair was straight held with a star-shaped clip, and square glasses. Mary wore baggy blue jeans and sneakers with her trademark yellow moon-shirt. Her hair was curly, held with a crescent moon clip, and crescent shaped glasses.
In my opinion, they were pretty, for kid geniuses. I winced as Mary put an ice pack on my forehead while Susan took a blood sample from my index finger, pricking it as my blood seeped into a needle. She placed it on the right side of the machine.
On the wide screen at the top of the front side, it revealed my blood results. Susan typed something up on the keyboard that appeared and I watched as she examined my DNA and other things. I watched as the virtual image of my DNA strand was twisting itself. I could feel my eyes widening when I heard a voice outside the window.
"My dear, sweet Susan! You can't ignore my love for you! You will be mine, Susan Test! You will be MINE!" It was that whiney voice again. I gritted my teeth and banged my fist on the table, "Oh, enough already!" I put my palm out again and used the Force to open the windows and the Force wave made a big BOOM, followed by an "OOW, AGAIN!"
"Oh no! Tell me it's not who I think it is!" Susan paled at the sound of that voice. Mary checked the window and looked outside. But what she saw made her pale too. "Oh great! It's Bling-Bling again!" Susan walked up to their big super computer, typed up some few things, and the screen turned on to reveal said evil boy waiting out in the front lawn, holding up a bouquet of roses. We could all hear him speaking up to the video camera outside the house. "My dear sweet Susan, I will not be stopped by your strange, invisible super waves any longer! So, either you come on a date with me and be my girlfriend…or I will DESTROY ALL OF PORKBELLY! The choice is yours, but I'd hurry if I were you."
"Seriously, hasn't he ever heard of a dating site before? The dude really needs to move on." Dukey said.
"Let me guess: that dude's got a crush on you and he won't let you go?" I asked Susan, completely understanding her dilemma since I've seen this show as well. She nodded, groaning as she face-palmed herself.
"He's been at it all week. And nothing's been able to stop him, not even me and my brilliant schemes. And I'm starting to get poofed-out." Johnny sighed out, collapsing on top of Dukey. "This is not worth anything, not even for steak! Even if it's juicy and tender and so raw…" Dukey's eyes looked off to his imagination that was filled with whatever it was that fascinated dogs like steaks, fire hydrants, chasing cats…
"Well, why can't you just tell him to leave you alone?"
"Um, we did and we tried everything! We tricked him by giving him a Susan clone, but it melted after a little while. Then, we tried to make him leave by drawing him away as a diversion by luring him in with a Susan dummy. We even changed the coordinates on his tracking device so he could go to Mexico!"
Johnny looked exhausted just by talking about it. But doing all that stuff in one day just to get rid of someone like Bling-Bling Boy must have been…well… infuriating! "We don't know what else to do."
"And if we don't think of something soon, he's going to destroy Porkbelly!" Mary sounded worried, not as much as Dukey. "Yeah, I'm going to freak out now. AAAHHHHHH!" He cried out, crushing Johnny in his hairy arms. His face was turning blue and he was having a hard time breathing. "Dukey—you—you're—crushing—me!" He heard him and when he let go, Johnny collapsed on his stomach.
All this craziness was starting to get to me. And I thought meeting a talking dog would be kind of entertaining. But now, with all the noise and Bling-Bling's threat, I was cracking like an egg. And I've had it! "Okay, that's it! I have had just about enough of this!" I jumped off the table, ran to the open window and jumped out through it.
"NOOOO!" All four of them screamed and ran to the window. But they were all shocked at the sight they saw. "Whoa, didn't see that coming."
Bling-Bling Boy, or Eugene since that's his real name, was chubby and wore gold jewelry and watches, hence his villain name. His brown hair, freckles, blue eyes and big teeth were more than enough evidence as to why Susan wasn't into him. Anyway, I blocked his view of the window, given my tall stature, and I put my hand out to him.
"It's you! You broke my car, and my dignity, plus you gave me a boo-boo on my little noggin. Well, whoever you are, you will not stop me from being with my Susan! Or else, you'll be the reason why Porkbelly will become a junk yard!" He pulled out a remote and had his finger wavering over the big red button. "Try anything, and I will unleash my missiles onto all of Porkbelly!" I saw, horrified, as actual missiles came out of his golden van, aiming at the downtown city in plain sight.
'There's no time to waste!'
My hand waved slowly to him, my eyes closed, and my breathing grew steady. My voice spoke out, sending a Force wave through both our minds.
"You will leave Susan Test alone."
"What are you talking about? Sweet, sweet Susan, I'm coming for you, my beloved!"
"You will leave Susan Test alone."
"I-I will leave Susan Test alone—no! I-I will not!" I squeezed my eyes tightly as the energy grew more, twice as strong to send him the message as his finger was coming down on the button.
"You WILL leave Susan Test alone, NOW!" Bling-Bling held his head with both his hands, shaking from the immense pain tearing it apart from inside, dropping the remote.
"I—I—I," Suddenly, he stopped shaking from the pain, his arms laying against his sides, standing straight and his eyes zoned out. "I will leave Susan Test alone." I smirked, very pleased.
"You will leave her and her family alone for a month, two tops."
"I will leave her and her family alone for a month, two tops." His voice sounded bland, automatic really.
"And you'll— leave to take a vacation—in Mexico!"
"And I'll leave to take a vacation— in Mexico!" I lowered my hand and opened my eyes to see him walking away, throwing the roses aside, and stepping onto the remote, crushing it, and entering his golden van and it drove away, hopefully as far away as Mexico. I dropped to my knees, sweating from all the energy I used to concentrate, and still shocked I was able to use the Force to change his mind. I thought it would take me a while, or a long time, to do that trick. Well, it didn't take that long after all.
I heard footsteps crushing the grass blades and then the Test siblings and their pet dog were at my side while I panted, losing my breath. Johnny gave me a water bottle and I gladly took it, gulping down the cool, refreshing, heavenly water down my dry, burning throat. "T-Thanks! I don't think he'll be bothering you guys anytime soon." I gulped down the rest of the water.
"That was…INCREDIBLE!" Dukey hugged me along with the Test twins, all their comments and compliments on my performance was just a big jumble of words, words that somehow seemed unimportant. I shrugged them off and tried to stand up, just barely. "Johnny?" I saw him behind Dukey and he looked astounded, at my performance too, I guess.
That's when he bowed to me. "Okay, this is weird, and that's saying a lot."
"No words can describe your magnificence, your performance out there proves you are NOT to be messed with. Plus, you saved my sister from going out with that creep. I'm am at your service. Your wish is my command uh...what is your name?" I rolled my eyes at him.
"It's Georgethe. And I'm not going to fry you or anything. I'm only nice when I want to be, especially when people aren't asking for it. So that's enough acting for you. But if you really want to please me, first you can tell me how I can get back to...to where you took me from."
"Oh, yeah, um, about that..."
"What?" He looked at all of us and he sighed before he went to two big bushes beside the house. He shoved the leaves aside to pull out... "The Sonic Super Scooter!" The twins ran up and snatched it from him, hugging it like the treasure it was, to them at least. "So, you did take it! I should have known, especially since you said you weren't interested in riding it!" Susan said, ticked-off that he lied, as usual.
"Hey, but you did say that it was new and improved and that you took out the Mach 9 setting on it."
"Yeah, by replacing it with the Mach 10! Why did you take it anyway?" Mary asked.
"He was tempted to test it out, just like before." Dukey answered.
"Hey! Whose side are you on, dude?"
"I'm on the side of not getting fried! I only like meat fried."
"OKAY ENOUGH!" My outburst shut their mouths up. "I want to go, like, now! So, make with the magic and do it, please." We all went back inside and the girls worked on the scooter. "Huh, apparently, this Mach 10 has the power to travel between-" Johnny cut off Susan, "different dimensions."
The girls and I looked at Johnny, shocked. "Oh my God...are you serious?" Johnny raised his hand, "I swear."
"Huh, so that explains how you two got to Coruscant and how I got this beauty." I pointed up to my huge bruise. They both gave me an apologetic look and I nodded back to say I forgive them.
"How long have you two been using it?" Susan asked. "Uh, not long, maybe a few days...more than...a week."
"WHAT?!" I shook my head, already feeling exhausted to death. "Uh guys, hurry up! I-I don't think I can h-h-hang i-i-in the-the-there..." I suddenly felt all the darkness coming in like a swarm, consuming me. I felt myself falling to my knees, my head hitting the floor.
"Oh my God! Guys,she's losing consciousness! I'm going to freak out now. AAAAAAHHHHHH!" I moaned as Dukey's screaming was becoming faint, blurring as the sound was beginning to muffle in ears, like something was clogging them up. I tried to keep my eyes open when Johnny bent down to keep me awake. He started shaking me to get the energy pumping but it wasn't working.
He looked scared at seeing me like this so I tried to muster up a smile when something was glowing. It was our hands. He was holding mine to give me comfort when the link was bonding our wrists. He looked shocked, just as I was, and this has happened twice already!
My eyelids were weighing down when I could hear him speaking faintly to me. "Hold on...hold on...hold on..."
"Wake...up...wake...up...wake up..." I was moaning, my eyes were aching, along with my head, still banging like crazy. I could feel something soft in my hand so I closed my fingers around it more.
My ears picked up loud noises, ones of sirens, footsteps on the ground, and the splashing of the waters.
"Come on Shorty...wake up." I moaned more, begging my eyes to open up. When they did, just barely, a ray of light hit them, stinging them and making me wince in more pain. I tried opening them again, even though they begged me not to, and someone was leaning over me but I couldn't see them right. Whoever it was brushed a few stray hair strands out of my face and behind my ear.
The same hand brushed through my hair and it felt...good. I gasped as two arms weaved around me, warming me in the process, and under my legs. I felt a shift as those arms carried me.
"Don't worry, kid. I gotcha...I gotcha." I knew that voice, giving me a reason to relax my nerves down. I couldn't resist leaning my head against their chest.
"An...Anakin?" I could feel him looking down at me. I could also feel Ahsoka following him as we passed the noises. My guess was that those were officers, probably sent by Anakin to look for me when I ran away.
His arms grew stronger around me, as if he was trying to protect me from the monsters that exist in this world.
"Don't worry, Shorty. I'm here... I gotcha...and I'm not letting you out of my sight again." The stern yet caring way he spoke made my chest flutter and I could feel my face burn up.
I had a hunch that my dream-catcher was the thing in my hand so I held it as tight as I could, making sure I didn't lose it again, just like how they lost me.
I nuzzled my cheek up against his chest, letting sleep conquer me. 'Cause after that, Anakin would be the one conquering me. Won't that be fun?'Oh, don't pretend that you won't love that.' I blushed at my hasty thoughts.
What we didn't know was that two figures were watching us from afar before they left for home on their scooter.
(Third Person P.O.V.)
Once the two teams walked out of the portal from another cave, they saw themselves in another earthy environment.
"Are you sure we're going the right way?" Kevin asked, being impatient as the eight of them walk down a forest path through the endless fields of trees.
"This is where the energy trail leads. Besides, I can sense that Georgethe's been around here too. We're getting warmer." Gwen explained while she climbed over a huge log in the path, followed by Kevin.
"Okay, but why can't we just shout out "Hey Georgethe!"?" Ben looked back over his shoulder beside Bloom, being serious, "And have who knows what's out here after us? Good plan."
"Ben's right. We can't attract attention to ourselves, not if we want the Trix to hear us." Bloom added.
"My scanners will detect if they come near." Tecna pulled out her phone out, just in case.
Pretty soon, they all arrived at a temple. "Finally! A place where we can relax! My feet are killing me!" Stella complained, tired from all the walking.
"Maybe there's some people in there that could help us." Flora suggested. Bloom nodded and lead the way, Stella lagging behind.
Meanwhile, the Xiaolin team was playing Charades and it was Omi's turn. He was pretending to be Jack Spicer when he noticed them coming their way. He froze in an uncomfortable pose. "What's the matter, partner?" Clay asked.
"In-In-Intruders!" He finally fell, on top of Raimundo. "Hey, watch the hair!" He shoved him off, fixing his hair."Uh guys?" Kimiko said, surprised that Omi was right.
That's when they all noticed them too.
"My friends, prepare to serve these intruders a humiliating defeat!"
They pounced at them, making the eight of them freeze right on the spot. The team pulled out their Xiaolin weapons, ready to take them down.
"I take it that this is the welcome party." Musa said.
"Whoa, easy guys!" Ben said, not expecting this to happen. "Uh, we come in peace?"
Meanwhile, again, back at the Test house, the twins were busy looking at the blood results when the screen started beeping red and making loud siren-like noises, or alarms.
The results popped up on the screen...and they were NOT what the twins were suspecting.
"What the heck? But that's...impossible!" Susan exclaimed.
"But then...then that means...who is she?" Mary asked, stumped.
"You mean...what is she?"
Okay, so this was suppose to be short, but I guess I overdid it. Anywho, we visited the world of Johnny Test. What did you think? I think that our main OC was losing her temper and kind of lost it a few times. I will be editing this up to get it just right and fix errors.
So, looks like Ben 10 and The Winx are in some trouble with the Xiaolin team. What will happen? (I know, though ;D)
And what were the blood results at the end? Oh, so many questions, that will be answered when they can.
I'm tired so leave me reviews, comments and such, and I'll see you guys soon (so long as my mom doesn't drive me over the edge, UGH!) And thank you all for looking at my story, it means the world to me! Bye guys! :D
